Clip of the Day, April 8, 2011 (208)
Marty having some second thoughts about having come to the party. She's REALLY going to regret it in a bit because of MULTIPLE incidents.
Yet another Todd red herring. Nope, Todd's costume is much more clever than that. I love what Kim said about it; Todd picked that costume for himself and gave it a great deal of thought.
The crowd applauds Rape Rehab Poster Boy as if it had never happened...and then Jim finally makes himself useful. As cringe-worthy as all this business is, I find it telling that he's the only one who had the guts to call Powell on his BS. More on this in a minute.
Jessica and Joey piecing together what happened after she'd passed out. Todd never even really got credit for this, either, interestingly enough, even though they'd figured it out.
Powell and Jim "duking it out." It's OK, you can laugh. I think the writers had to know this was ridiculous, lol. Powell can apparently "freestyle" his poems, I guess. The "audience" seems to think it's a planned performance between Powell and Jim. I so wish more of Jim's lines of rebuttal would've rhymed, though I give him props for the first two, and he basically scored knockout blows the whole way through. Still, it has me thinking, "what if?"
Maybe...
They think you're a hero, they think you're redeemed
But Zorro is on his way, and things aren't what they seem
This party desperately needs Todd to add some "coolness" factor. Amazing how lame everyone else seems by comparison. Even though Roger wasn't really that much older than everyone else in real life (25), his character came across as someone in a completely different place in life...much wiser, more jaded, and more mature (not quite the right word here given his demons, but I can't really think of another way to put it). Makes sense, as his experiences will do that to you.
Look how angry Powell is...he wants to go hit Jim. And for what? Telling everyone the truth they so conveniently forget? Whatever happened to self-loathing Powell?
Too bad Zorro wasn't there to see Poet Boy exposed.
Beth runs into Zorro and mistakes him for Jason. Thankfully she doesn't recognize him...too drunk and clueless.
Zorro gets a glimpse of Poet Boy with Zorro's woman. Zorro doesn't play cheesy word games, Poet Boy. You're finished!
Milton Bittlecomb sighting! He apologizes for Jim. Aw, poor Powell, being reminded that he raped someone. Funny...Todd would be reminded time and again of what HE did after he was pardoned all the way to Victor Lord's tomb, and nobody seemed to think HE was owed an apology (nor was he).
Fail: The rhyme-off was both a success and a failure. It was intentional-unintentional comedy, if that makes sense. LOL. And for crying out loud, is JIM really the only one besides Todd with any common sense in that town?
Sound Off! We're approaching one of my...5, I guess...favorite Todd scenes of all-time.

Wow, that says a lot. In your top 5? Hmmm! I cannot think of what my top 5 scenes would be, it's too hard. Maybe another day! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHowever, the ZORRO not speaking dance scenes coming up are AMAZING. My goodness. How gorgeous can someone be when most of their face is covered???
Roger continues to impress me with how STUNNING he is. You almost cannot believe your eyes at times, and it's not just the outside appearance. It has to do with what emanates from inside him. He's just.....Roger. The action all over the net regarding his return proves it.
Oh and TSJ can be the impostor who is REALLY MILTON BITTLECOMB all grown up! You know it's true!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not entirely sure how to define "scenes"...that's the problem with trying to come up with Top 5, Top 10 lists and such. Where does the "scene" begin, and where does it end? I've never been quite sure on how that's technically defined.
ReplyDeleteHowever it's defined, I'm thinking Zorro and Rebecca slow dancing to "Wicked Game" is in my Top 5.
This whole time period is just amazing scene after amazing scene, regardless of how it's defined, and that also makes it extremely difficult to decide on Top 5, Top 10 lists. I'm thinking I need a Top...500? LOL.
