all the whatever-ness in the world
Oct. 27th, 2006 08:54 pmSomeone suggested (again) that Poppy is pregnant. Not because of her awful wardrobe but because apparently "Hollywood says so." Whatever the hell that means. No source listed or anything, so it's probably just another false rumor, but still I get way too stressed out about it.
I have no faith at all that it will be handled well. None.
I'm leaning towards more of a "The Nanny" approach than "The X-Files". With XF, I never knew GA was pregnant until someone told me she named the kid after a ship(!). I know I'm clueless, but I hadn't heard and I didn't notice. There were some jokes that made a lot more sense when I found out, but I didn't pick up on it. On "The Nanny", the palm trees and folders weren't enough at all. The camera angles were just so wrong. But at least they made jokes about it, and knew it was obvious. It was a comedy, so they could sort of get away with it, even if I didn't love it, personally.
With WaT, I don't think there will be any jokes, not even subtle amusing ones, I just think they will do a crappy job of working around it. Probably the solution will be to hardly have Sam in the episodes at all, and certainly not doing anything action. At least I'm fairly confident they won't make SAM pregnant as well.
That would just throw the show into the very depths of the pits of stupid. The idea that she and Martin have been secretly involved and now "oops" does not appeal to me AT ALL. I'm not sixteen, so I don't think that's cool. Also, I'm not an idiot. Not about this, anyway.
The last shred of hope for a turn I still cling to will vaporize if this turns out to be true. (But of course I will continue to watch: I don't drive slowly past car accidents, I do this instead.)
(And now this gets slightly spoiler-y. Not enough for me to bother with a cut, because I'm just talking about the promo. But you have been warned.)
The promo for next week's episode annoys me. I'm totally insensitive and not American, but I am SICK AND TIRED of every crime/drama show having to have an episode about Katrina. Not that I ever believed that 100th episodes are ever especially good just because they're 100th episodes, but the people seemed to think they were doing something cool and special. Um, no.
Oh, and I still haven't bitched about last week's ep. I will later, I think. Do I need to say that I didn't love it, or is that obvious?
