oddeggPossibly spoilers; mainly just general ranting but - you know - cut anyway...
* * *
hello door-thats-just-been-propped-up! WTF, you can't afford a couple of screws now, you assholes?
*
HELEN! - you are so, SO, obviously completely fucked in the head. And you now dress like a follower of an emo band. Whyfore do I now find you so much more attractive? (nice boots - can that skirt go higher? rawwr)
*
Yes, don't touch the 'My First Anomaly' mobile Lester because that will obviously cause the destruction of life as we know it *rolls eyes*
*
'complete review of security...' Right Becker. Staggered their tea breaks, have you?
*
Well, hel-looo, boyfriend-jeans Cutter! Yum. (& slashy subtext 'tween Nick and Connor? Wot slashy subtext?)
*
'So, if you walked through... would you keep on falling?' - Alice in Wonderland/Primeval crossover? 'One psilophyton makes you larger... and one psilophyton makes you small... and the one's that mother gives you...'
Sorry. That's the Jefferson Airplane/Primeval crossover.
*
Connorconnorconnor-sloppy boots, leather gloves, gun in belt-connorconnorconnor... Erm, sorry? I waz drooling there - you were saying?
*
'Emotionally toxic' - could there be a better way to describe Nick?
*
'Regular mental health check-ups for all staff' - I sooo want to be a fly on the wall for those! (So, Connor - your crush-slash-friend-slash-mentor Stephen was torn apart by future predators and your lover-slash-protector Captain Ryan was... also torn apart by future predators and your Professor was... Is it too late to take that NHS job?)
*
No. srsly. Sorry to rant here but - 'PREGNANT' (with 'omfg could-it-be-any-more-fake?' belly) WOMAN. WHY ARE YOU STILL IN THIS HOSPITAL? AND NO - CHILDBIRTH DOES NOT HAPPEN THAT QUICKLY YOU FUCKWITS. ESPECIALLY IN THE PRONE POSITION YOU ARE JUST ASKING FOR VAGINAL TEARS. AND FOR SOMEONE NOT ON DRUGS YOU'RE REMARKABLY PLACID ABOUT THIS WHOLE 'A STRANGE CREATURE IS IN THE ROOM ALONG WITH THESE PSYCHO'S WHILE I'M GIVING BIRTH' AND, WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT, WOW! YOU LOOK REMARKABLY NON-SWEATY AND UN-TIRED FOR JUST GIVING BIRTH IN UNDER 20 MINUTES! AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PLACENTA, DID THEY FEED IT TO THE DIICTODON?
i hate tv representations of birth. srsly.
*
(And Stanley? Really? Stanley!?!)
*
Nick/Nick!Clone slash... don't worry - everyone else was thinking it too. Including Connor. ('two versions of Cutter...some kind of nightmare...' methinks you do protest too much Lester!)
*
'Every physical detail' '...physical?' ...'no matter what they look like, they can never be the original' 'you... have to be stopped. Now'
Oh, HELEN!
I... can't really make fun of you anymore like that anymore because you're just so fucking damaged and so empty and hollow - like a cracked bell that's desperately tolling out a warning when no-one can hear it and you've just got this one thing, this one thing, that you're trying to do right, to make right, in the face of everything, in the face of it all...
And no-one will hear you. No-one.
*
WTF? You're in a store room - surrounded by cables - and you didn't even tie him up?!
*
Connor=Penfold. ROFLMAO. Want 'Confold' icon now! *grabby hands*
*
Action!Lester=comb hair. A-hahaha! *equally grabby hands*
*
Dead clone's merit no sympathy. Maybe if Helen has cloned one of the pretty one's...
*
Wot, army guys? Your tea break automatically kicked? With all your collective years of training you couldn't have - oh, I don't know - overpowered the academic and stopped him entering the burning building!?!!
*
You couldn't have even overpowered the student?! (Come on! He would have enjoyed it!)
*
and... oh god. I want to make jokes here. I want to talk about slashy subtext and overused set and obvious bloody cello pieces and soldiers on tea break and single tears down the cheek but I can't. I can't.
The pathos of the whole thing slays me. Fucking slays me.
The stupid, stupid last words and Lester's oblivious denial and Sarah's 'Oh god, I'm hurting but I don't have the right, the history, to grieve' attitude and Connor's numbed attempt to be noble and the words on Abby's fucking hoodie and Jenny...
Oh god, Jenny. It's always the things you didn't have a chance to say that haunt you.
They're always the worst.

Never mind - it's all Fred's fault. Really. It always is.

no subject
Date: 2009-04-12 09:58 am (UTC)I know. It was crappily written but I still enjoyed it, and I'm a sucker for death scenes.
But where the hell was Becker when he was meant to be stopping anothet Stephen from happening? Bad soldier, no biscuit!
no subject
Date: 2009-04-13 01:44 pm (UTC)I know! So much complete dross in there and then these moments that just get right under your shield and hit you squarely!
And yes Becker! Cute doesn't get you much (or any) leeway from us! Definitely no biscuit *frowny face*
Unless it's a soggy biscuit. Do they play that in officer's training?

Date: 2009-04-13 06:04 am (UTC)I was terrified they'd have her name the kid "Nick"
>Oh, HELEN!
>And no-one will hear you. No-one.
how did Helen get into space?

Date: 2009-04-13 01:52 pm (UTC)So glad they screeched to their senses! (on that point at least...)
>"In Primeval, no one will hear you scream at bad writing and plot holes..."
...I'd almost rather have the face-huggers...
;)
no subject
Date: 2009-04-13 08:00 am (UTC)Also, I would have so done the Nick/Clone!Nick if they hadn't killed him off *grumpy*
I really wasn't read for no more Nick damn it!
no subject
Date: 2009-04-13 01:57 pm (UTC)And it's not even that difficult to kick a fully attached door in! (Really. I have friends with interesting pasts...)
Do Nick/C!Nick anyway! Put em in Sanctuary (which is going to be standing room bloody only, the rate TFWIC are going...)
But no - sooo not ready for it! :(
no subject
Date: 2009-04-13 07:04 pm (UTC)I think maybe I should now, as some sort of protest at the sudden and crushing lack of Nick in my show.
