minttown11. Opening on Jeanie Weaver is a good sign.
2. "The Fighting Masons."
3. Pope's long, flowing hair.
4. Evil!Hal. I mean, whatever's going on with the aliens aside, he's being a dick to someone who doesn't have to stand by him the way she is. But at least she calls him out on it.
5. I'm glad all the important rebel skitters have distinguishing facial injuries so we can tell them apart.
6. Jeanie's got her booooooy back. And he kissed her forehead, so I want them to be together forever.
7. I'm pretty freaked out by Popetown. Like. Why do so many people prefer that over Charleston?
8. I'm sure Anne wanted all you idiots fucking playing Monopoly all night while she's in labor. "It's a Mason family tradition." Really? Like, when Ben was born, Hal and Tom played? And when Matt was born, Ben and Hal and Tom played? Or what? Or do they just mean that Monopoly is how they kill time, impending birth or no? Ben did offer to play with Matt in the season two finale, so it could be a more general thing.
9. I'd like it if the traitor were the annoying chick from ER, but she's on the season three poster so I think we're stuck with her.
10. Alexis Denise Glass-Mason. <3
11. "Have you ever known me not to have a plan?" Ugh, Pope and his plans. I hope he does something stupid, they have a falling out, and then he saves the day around episode seven of the season. It's tradition!
12. DEAR SCIENCE FICTION/FANTASY WRITERS, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN TO WRITE A BABY STAYING A BABY FOR MORE THAN FIFTEEN SECONDS, STOP WRITING PREGNANCIES IN THE FIRST PLACE. The 4400, Stargate SG-1, Twilight, others I'm forgetting. So tired of magical babies. Alexis Denise, you become a newborn again right this instant!
13. Hal caught Margaret flirting with a man who's actually virile. :P And no, this is not any ableist crap, I just mean that Hal's always been a scrawny loser who doesn't deserve her.
14. Speaking of ableist crap, I just don't know about Robert Sean Leonard as the agoraphobic genius. I am super sensitive about how agoraphobia is depicted, and he's just... ajk adkjkjl.
15. No maternity leave in post-apocalyptic Charleston, apparently.
16. "How's math gonna help us kick the aliens off this planet?" HOW'S MATH NOT GOING TO HELP YOU, MATT. Gosh.
17. I really want Matt to tell Anne she's not his real mom. Say i-- oh jesus, he just did. That was quicker than I expected.
14b. Oh my fucking god, I didn't know you could cure agoraphobia just by saying something profound, why didn't I fucking think of that over five years ago when [...] left the house for the last time? I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA IT WAS SO GODDAMN EASY.
18. President Mason, running into a situation that he knows is 95% likely to be a trap. NOT RESPONSIBLE LEADER BEHAVIOR.
19. Margaret's hot not-fuck-buddy got injured. :(
19b. And now he's dying.
19c. And now Hal's gonna be a jealous ass even though he had mysterious sleepwalking sex with Karen, like, a week ago.
20. "Memorizing the names of dead people won't help us win this war." Oh god, Matt, now your dad's gonna tell you the value of a liberal arts education. :P
21. Aw, Matt wants to call Anne Mom. And he made her cry. And he thinks Alexis is a happy baby because she never cries, but really that just means she's a scifi baby. Ugh.
2. "The Fighting Masons."

Date: 2013-06-17 04:12 am (UTC)(Not to be trigger, but we've had some mental health issues with my grandmother, which has of course brought out some aggressive shaming and malice in people who are supposed to be helping. Or, if not helping, at least not actively hindering. ^^:)
Hooray for TV escapes! ^_^
1. Opening on Jeanie Weaver is a good sign.
I really hope they develop her more as a character this season-- especially since Anne has been kind of relegated to the status of Love Interest and Mom. -_- I like Jeanie, she has spunk.
The Fighting Masons
Would be an excellent name for a band. ;-)
3. Pope's long, flowing hair.
He he has somehow managed to obtain a post-apocolyptic stash of Vidal Sasoon!
The fact that there even _is_ a Popetown scares me. (Heh, my autocorrect just tried to make that Poptown. Where all the soda beverages live!)
On a more serious note, Maggie deserves ten times better than Hal. Maybe fifty to the tenth power, even
I'm sure Anne wanted all you idiots fucking playing Monopoly all night while she's in labor.
THANK YOU. Please, minimize my suffering whilst creating an annoying distraction. The former Ms. Tom was clearly a long-suffering woman.
I love the name 'Alexis'. <3
Re #12: WORD. Preach it, woman, and bring it on home. *hugs you to bits* My niece and I were watching, and we said at the same damn time, 'not another Isabelle'! Giant Toddler Syndrome is a _huge_ epidemic in the sic-fi/fantasy community. I really hate it because I feel like it belittles all the hard work, love and sacrifice real moms put into raising their kids. Think about all the different challenges and concerns one would have with a regular baby in a post-apocolyptic world? But the
malewriters don't find that interesting, so we get soap-opera babies instead.I just mean that Hal's always been a scrawny loser who doesn't deserve her.
+1000000
HOW'S MATH NOT GOING TO HELP YOU, MATT. Gosh.
Indeed-- of ALL the things that might help you kick aliens off this planet, math is definitely at the top of the list. Little delinquent. ^_~
over five years ago when [...] left the house for the last time? I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA IT WAS SO GODDAMN EASY.
It's just like raising wunder!babies, Amber. Anyone can do it! ... not. X_x
President Mason, running into a situation that he knows is 95% likely to be a trap. NOT RESPONSIBLE LEADER BEHAVIOR.
Also, I kind of think the president needs to shave.
"Memorizing the names of dead people won't help us win this war."
NOT THE RIGHT THING TO SAY TO A FORMER HISTORY PROFESSOR, THANX.
And he thinks Alexis is a happy baby because she never cries, but really that just means she's a scifi baby. Ugh.
Double ugh.
Seriously, I adore you, and I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to this. I love having a fandom with you again! ^_^
