Clip of the Day, March 30, 2011 (203)



Nathan Fillion's Joey appears and Rebecca sees another potential upgrade over Powell.

Drifter-Todd is back in town sneaking around and he isn't playing games.

Rebecca says "Powell is so much fun." Huh. Am I missing something here? LOL. She then receives a call from The Man. These phone booth scenes where Todd either doesn't answer or disguises his voice are one of the token Todd-isms from back in the day. Let's see, Todd calling Marty and not saying anything prior to terrorizing her in the alley (this one in a hotel room, not a phone booth). Todd calling Rachel to ask about Nora in the fake voice. Todd calling Rebecca after escaping from the Beach House with his open stab wound. Todd calling Rebecca and not saying anything after he'd made it out of the river after being shot. And now we have him in a darn phone booth again!

Todd loves his phone booths. He's a twisted version of superman. LOL.

Todd says nothing, yet says so much. He can do that because he's played by RH. Can TSJ do that? Ha. Ha ha ha.

Back to wonderful poet-rapist and Rebecca. Wow, Rebecca senses that was Todd who called. In fact, she KNOWS it is. Can you say, "connection?" Sorry, Powell.

Back in the phone booth, Todd reacts to Rebecca having answered the phone excitedly expecting Powell. Perfectly done, as usual. Then the "evil Todd music" to conclude the scene, just to leave the audience wondering if the truly dangerous side of him will rear its head again.

Superman stays in his phone booth and begins his quest to make sure those two "ain't gonna happen."

Here's Todd with another voice...you can see why they had him do the fake DID storyline a few years later. He's just a natural at this sort of thing. Of course, there's not much in the realm of acting RH ISN'T a natural at. But RH creates these alternate characters like it's breathing to him.

This is an absolute riot...because it's pretty much a dead-on impersonation of the minor college characters we've seen on the show (Emily Haynes, for example)...only this one also happens to be a nerd. LOL.

You really have to wonder how Todd manages to sneak around like this without being seen. Entering Rebecca's room at the hotel...then again, they tell us repeatedly he knows what he's doing, both verbally through what he and the other characters say about his resourcefulness/savvy, and through what we've already seen on the screen. So we'll just have to trust that he does and not ask too many questions. LOL.

Todd sees the Roxanne dress before Powell. Duh, winning! Sorry, couldn't help it...just saw a clip of the infamous Charlie Sheen interview. LOL.

Rebel-Jessica involved in some peer pressure.

And we're supposed to wonder if Todd is going to kill Powell. But we know he won't. Even late-93 Todd couldn't do it. 1994-Todd probably released bugs into the outdoors.


FAIL: Well, obviously Poet Boy goes without exception. Renee being perfectly fine with Powell and encouraging his relationship with Rebecca. She DOES know what he did, right?

  1. You're right of course for someone who's face has to be plastered all over town. It's hard to imagine how Todd is able to get in and out of the Palace hotel with out someone seeing him.
    And once again his gift of storytelling comes into play as he calls the Hotel and pretends he's another student. Of course by doing so he finds out about the masquerade ball.

    But let's get back to the hotel. Not only does he get into the hotel but he knows just where Rebecca's room is . Will wonders never cease he's psychic to boot.
