Andie is holed up in her room with her multitude of awards. Will comes to tell her that he got some scholarship. Then Andie rants about Pacey, and Will warns her that she is about to become the sort of person he feels sorry for. About to He must have missed most of this season and show.
Directing and writing credits:\"Here Comes the Son\" is written and directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino. I want to say mean things about this backdoor pilot, but who am I kidding, I totally would have watched \"Windward Circle\" if it didn't immediately die. For starters, I love Sherilyn Fenn and will give any of her projects a chance, even ones where she's forced to play a pseudo-bohemian named Sasha in a bleach blonde wig. I'm not a huge fan of Rob Estes, the actor they chose to play Jimmy, but he's relatively inoffensive. I remember him mainly as Oliver, the new freelance photographer, from the last (and worst) season of \"Suddenly Susan.\"
I'm curious (but have no clue) where this show would have gone if a network bought it. They probably would have introduced a bunch of ancillary California stereotypes who challenge Jess with their sunny dispositions. I guess there would be a bunch of scenes where Jess tries to repair his relationship with Jimmy I wonder if Sasha's ten dogs - Angus, Chowder, Rufus, Legolas, Caligula, Mudball, General Lee, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Spot - would have gotten any air time.
Emily: Oh, Celine, I love this one.Miss Celine: Yes, I had that exact suit made in mint for Mrs. Walter Cronkite just last week. A darling woman. We've been friends since the Big Bang.
Best song of the episode:As Jess steps off the bus in Venice, we hear \"Pipeline\" by The Chantays, softly playing in the background. As he reaches the beach, it morphs into \"Catch a Wave\" by the Beach Boys. I probably don't mention it enough, but the music in this show is truly excellent. Neither of these songs are super original choices for a backdoor pilot about an East Coast kid who goes to CA for the first time, but they serve their purpose well.
Thoughts:I guess Jess was such a beloved character, even after creepily forcing himself on Rory in E20, that the Palladinos thought he needed his own show. Thankfully, no networks agreed and we were spared the boredom/irritation of watching Jess and Jimmy flounder around Venice Beach, trying to mend their fucked up relationship over hot dogs and books.
When Jess steps off the bus, we realize that he's in CA, pursuing a dude who couldn't even say a handful of sentences to him after showing up randomly in CT and making a scene. I'm not sure how, but Jess manages to find Jimmy's house after rudely shrugging off a nice old hippie who tries to offer him directions.
When they find him at work, aka Dante's Inferno, Jimmy sputters around and makes awkward small talk with Jess. Instead of asking why he came to CA or apologizing for his behavior in Stars Hollow, Jimmy says a bunch of shit like, \"I would marry the beach if man and property were allowed to mate.\" What's even worse is that after approximately three minutes of hanging out, he's ready to go back to work. If a son I abandoned and hadn't seen for seventeen years suddenly showed up at my job, I would take the fucking day off to find out what he wants. It's insane that Jimmy doesn't even think he owes Jess this small courtesy.
After Jimmy is done with work, he and Jess head back to his house. Sasha, understandably, is pissed at Jimmy for all of the expected reasons. Why didn't he tell her he had a son Why did he lie about his trip to CT Does he even love her or are they just roommates What's worse is that after a few hours of knowing him, Sasha seems to care more about Jess than Jimmy does. She assumes he's at least staying the night, whereas Jimmy hadn't even thought about this possibility. Thankfully, Jess isn't around during this exchange with Sasha. After figuring out that they needed some time to talk, Jess told Jimmy he would go check out the bookstore on the boardwalk.
After his conversation with Sasha ends, Jimmy shows up to that bookstore and yells at Jess in a faux act of parenting. He says, \"I have been wandering around for over an hour. I've been to three different bookstores. I have been worried sick about you, you hear me\" Bro, you've been totally absent for this kid's entire life and weren't even going to offer to let him stay with you. Why do you all of a sudden feel the need to fake concern After this display of emotion, he tells Jess that he can't stay at his house. Jess begs and even though he's on my shit list, I feel bad for him. He tells Jimmy,
Everything else that happens in this episode is pretty small potatoes. Lorelai helps with Senior Palooza (whatever the fuck that is) and Paris tries to get her to show some cleavage in order to sell tickets for Grad Night. This is inappropriate, but I appreciate Paris' commitment to the cause. Emily needs help picking out an outfit for graduation, so Rory goes over to her house and helps. This is where we meet the delightful Miss Celine, my absolute favorite auxiliary character on this show. She is a true delight and I could listen to her stories about old dead people for hours and never grow bored. One line that I always think to myself is, \"Never underestimate the power of a good shirt.\" I have justified many expensive purchases using this very logic.
When Lorelai shows up to retrieve Rory, it's clearly dinnertime at the Gilmore house, but Emily doesn't want to extend the invitation. She first tries to pretend dinner isn't ready, then lies to Lorelai and tells her that she can't stay because she and Richard have plans later (book club). Lorelai calls her out on her shit and her cover is blown when Richard shows up, exlaiming that it's past their dinnertime. Real mature, Emily. Just think of how much better her relationship with Lorelai would be if she just admitted that she was still hurt and angry over the recurring Friday night dinner cancellations. Everyone in this show is so emotionally stunted and repressed. They make me feel evolved and mature in comparison.
The only other point of interest is that no one knows how to tell Rory that Jess is gone, probably for good. When Luke realizes that Jess and his enormous duffle have vamoosed, he shows up at the Gilmore house to tell Lorelai. He offers to break the news to Rory, but Lorelai tells him that she'll handle it.
While I love Tea Leoni and Tim Daly and the McCord family drama....this is what I really want. Nobody at the top gets anything done by themselves, and the legwork the staff handles, the fires that they put out are the stories I want to see.
Obviously, the premise of the show is about how the woman at the top balances such an extremely demanding job and her home life, but why can't that concept be extended to the rest of the team a little more often
I also loved his very \"Blake\" way of knocking down obstacles; in DC, it's all about who you know, and Blake plays that perfectly. Pete, just like his own mother, underestimates Blake's role. But nothing gets done in government without the ever capable, ever reliable assistants.
The main plot of \"The Seventh Floor\" was great, but honestly, it didn't matter to me if we were focused on rescuing a journalist from the Sudan or negotiating water rights with Canada or Mexico, which even James Bond couldn't make interesting. It was the format that I loved, the embracing of an ensemble cast.
I want to know what's going on with Stevie, and yes, even Allison and Jason, but why can't we know what's happening in the staff's home lives on a more regular basis too And not just told what's happening, but shown Give them equal screen time
How did you feel about the ensemble presentation Should the McCords take a back seat more often Will Daisy succumb to Matt's endearing show of support, or is he permanently friend-zoned Was Jay's fling the end of his marriage, or just a way to even the playing field with Abby
I think it's entirely absurd to turn down help from Thea, and the show did a good job proving this to Felicity et alia when Thea shows up and saves the day. Thea's had plenty of training. Much, much better and more thorough training than Laurel (or at least than Laurel had when she started out playing Black Canary.)
Felicity as love-interest to Oliver is a real drag. There's a whole movement, apparently, calling itself (or being referred to as) Ollicity, that's plushing hard to make this romance happen, but it's just a huge drag in my opinion. Felicity is funny. She's a smart, attractive nerd, and when she's at her best she's slipping up and making funny double entendres, or hacking computers with her Product Placement Windows 8.1 tablet.
The entire Quentin Lance vs. Arrow showdown dragged on way, way too long. Basically, everything between the end of episode 9 when Oliver was supposedly killed by Ra's, to this episode, could have been cut into a much more compelling narrative.
When Team Arrow discovers at last that Oliver is still alive, it's when he shows back up to capture Nyssa as Al Sah-him. All at once everyone is shocked to find out that not only is Oliver alive, but he's been changed completely. This is more convincing because they believed him to be dead, and his resurrected self is the first they've seen of him in months. Audiences and Team Arrow alike are now more suckered in by Oliver's con.
At this point, Thea turns to Merlyn for help, after she's denied him for ages. As we move toward the final episodes, we've blessedly avoided all the silly relationship drama between Lance and Oliver, the love triangle element only returns toward the end with Felicity suddenly learning Oliver is alive after having been quite happy with Palmer all this time (and besides, Oliver appears to be a changed man now.)
We avoid a lot of filler, too, and Ra's is more ominous because he doesn't spend five episodes convincing Oliver to come back to Nanda Parbat through the blunt weapon that is Captain Lance, instead cutting to the bloody chase from the beginning. We learn more and more about his cruelty and mad conviction as we watch Oliver transform. The stage is set for the final showdown. 59ce067264
