Clip of the Day, October 30, 2010

More of juju's edits, thanks to her! Commentary follows, tomorrow is Halloween, and I can get rid of this background!

:D



Well, let's start off the clip with a nervous Powell and Zach calling him a girl. Not bad! LOL. Of course, this scene gives me more ammunition to say that Powell is definitely nuts and Zach is definitely a sociopath. "Bra burners." "What happened with Marty was not a big deal." He has no remorse or idea he was wrong. I DO BELIEVE that Todd DOES, inside, he knows, he knows what was done to him and how wrong the whole thing was, just can't connect with that "person" inside who sees it. Zach seems like a hollow nothing.

How stupid would Todd have to be to really try and strangle Marty after everything? This seems a little over the top, even for him. Hank and Sheila show up (how odd) just at the right time, and he's hiding in what looks like a cabana, although it can't be the one we know of later. because the pool was not right outside it. She doesn't see him at all. Ok. He's just a big old stalker! This whole scene just doesn't seem to make sense to me, considering he knows he cannot get caught! Our boy is ready with a croquet mallet when needed. LOL.

Love how that little blonde edge of hair near his face catches the light and sparkles all the time. :D

Juju, and others, might know where this was. Was it Marty's house? or part of the Buchanan's place? I am a little confused, but I think it's Marty's. Look how disappointed Todd is when he finds out they are going inside and he is out of luck. But he's also got to be a tad relieved that he can get away without being seen.

Wow, look at what a meanie Zach is when he bumps into Elmer! Ugh. He's a nasty piece of work too, without the obvious rage and hatred to back it up. Then he kicks the guy's stuff! How mean! Zach, it won't be long before you're in prison and staying there for quite a while.

I do like when Powell stares at the situation, it's almost like right then, he realizes what kind of people he's been hanging out with, not just Todd, and that he's made some of the worst choices and mistakes ever possible. This leads to what is next, so, once again, a perfect attention to detail by the OLTL writers. "Who are you supposed to be, Mother Teresa?" I'd rather be her than you, Zach! And there in the rubble is the missing sweatband! After being all the places it has been, there is no way it could have evidence or be counted as such, but everyone keeps looking anyway!

FAIL: Hank and Sheila are all dressed up and he decides to go swimming? On the way home from a Buchanan party, just HAPPENED to mention Luna's show while Todd listens, Suede now has enough chicken and fixings for four adults instead of two. These are the kind of scenes that kind of make me laugh, because they are full of unrealistic things, and you have to really suspend belief to pass it over and still love what is going on. OLTL had a few of these back in the day, but it never stopped us from loving it. That's what is so much fun about pointing out the FAILS; they are just there to remind us we loved this show and didn't care if it was perfect.
