4x06 Play-by-play

Fair warning: Equal-opportunity lecherous drooling ahead!



I now pronounce you hyena and hyena

Y hullo thar, pretty castle.

Y hullo thar, pretty boy. (Oh, and look. His headshot on his IMDB page is HAWT.)

Ohh, you're the groom. Nice.

Snippy woman is about to become creature kibble, isn't she?

Nice touch of the slight static on the radio.

Puppies!! /Elmyra

Watch out for the mama!

Yep. Creature kibble.

Ooh, we're back to the Ruined Landscape of the Future

And this time, it's Gideon dreaming it! Ooooooooh.

Matt, you're totally not that cold-hearted, you liah.

Becks! Oh, how we've missed you. <3 And don't you look utterly pleasant leaning against that door frame. (Also, is your hair growing out? Because. Yeah. Nice.)

Blah, blah, Ethan. But Emily looks ravishing in this light.

Yeah, I don't think Matt's going to mind keeping her nearby.

Jess has definitely toned down the dodgy fashion/makeup. She looks almost normal.

Why is he in a Volvo when the others are driving the L200s? Huh.

OMG! They actually have backup this time!!

Y hullo thar, Raptor Pants. I do look forward to you every week.

I know it's cheap and easy to do it, but plastic sheeting + blue lights really does make for a creepy atmosphere.

With the same director, I wonder why this week's ep is so much better than the last one? The writing was fine on the last one, it was just paced strangely. This time, it was much better. Maybe he was warmed up?

I saw that little back-to-back bump, kids.

BabbleBabbleBabble BADASS. Yep, that's my Connor.

Bad puppy!

Ooh, Becks. Doin' yer research. Beauty AND brains!

Ehm, Connor? I think you missed some doggies back there.

JENNY!!! *clings in a completely undignified way*

Fucking awesome to focus on her shoes like that. Hello, 2x01 intro scene!

Also awesome: Having her revert to her old, fussy character early on, and then move her into s3 badassery later.

(FWIW, she mighta been fussy, but I think she was also quite happy to see Connor again.)

Uh, Matt? I think she just dissed you. But she kinda does that.

Have I mentioned lately how much I adore Lucy Brown? Having her back pretty much lit this episode on fire. The whole ep really felt like old-skool Primeval--like 4x02 did. So much fun.

Emily! You just don't stay put, do you, you silly critter?

Paintballing. Yeeeeeah.

OK, there's where he's sent the backup team and the guns away. Thank you, continuity.

Rock Band reference FTW!

Hello, Emily, you naughty minx!

"What's team building?" HAHAHAHAHAAH This may be the episode where I actually start liking Emily and giving a shit what happens to her.

Ethan, on the other hand, is still boring the fuck out of me... Or... Wait. WTH is with that picture? He's not from 1902, is he? Dammit. I think I just gave a shit about Ethan.

OK, now here's an interesting thing: How did Becks know exactly where to look to see Matt's apartment? Has he been there before? Hmmmmmmmm?

"Stay warm?" Oh, Jess. *facepalm*

Nice little reaction from Andrew there when she mentioned Cutter. That's a smart acting choice: Subtle, but powerful.

Of course she doesn't want to forget any of you. She's shagged half the team

Hello, Connor. Allow me to introduce your foot to your mouth. They're about to become very, very well acquainted.

Hannah plays this scene really well. Suitably awkward. Love it.

Y hello thar, Captain Stakeout. Also, nice shot of an in-dash computer! I'd been wondering if they had those.

"Lesbian orgy in my room?"

And of course, Connor wants in on that action. Maybe if you're a really good boy...

"She stays with me? What is this, the 1800s?" Well, actually...

Ah, yes, the "let's try on clothes!" scene. Which is the start of every great lesbian orgy.

Stalker!Jess shows up with dinner.

And of course he knows where she lives. He's been schlepping Connor and Abby over there quite often...

Oh, it's you. Fine. You can have Emily for a bit. But bring her back for the lesbian orgy, mkay?

Mama doggie taking the kids out for walkies!

OMG, is Matt actually telling us something about himself? Exposition! Yay! Oh, and of course he stops talking right when it gets interesting.

Aw, Jess passed out on his shoulder. He's such a good little fag to his hag.

Eek! Ethan looked right at the security cam! He knows! Creepy!

Oh noes! Trip wire! Omnious metronome! Bomb! No hurt the Becker, dammit!

Action!Jess to the rescue! Holy craptaters.

"Abby! Can I come in? I promise I won't get in the way of the lesbian orgy!"

Puppies? Why do I hear puppies?

(BTW, where has Connor been all this time? Matt absconded with Emily, so... Challenging the groom to a few rounds of Rock Band?)

Shit. Jess actually looks good with that gun. I may have to like her, now.

So much for having thoroughly searched the premises, eh, Connor?

Uh oh. The bitch is back.

There's something inherently ridiculous and yet sublimely wonderful about Connor having to fight off demon puppies.

Getting them drunk. Clever Connor is clever. :)

Becker the munitions expert coming through. So much love.

Aw. Cute. She's so proud of herself.

And the Becker/Jess shippers are exploding in squee about now...

"I wanna know who the hell this guy is" As do we all. Even me, now. Fuck.

Why do old ladies always remember every kid in their neighborhood?

Y hullo thar, Emily! You clean up well, don't you, my dear?

Dammit. Now I'm going to have to check back in every other ep to see if I can see her wedding ring.

OK, how sad is it that I knew that was Andrew's hand? Sigh...

Aw, Abby's worried about him. Or just wants to tell him all about last night's lesbian orgy.

Jenny looks absolutely delectable. Mrrr.

Hi, Connor! You're not exactly dressed for the wedding, dearie.

I wonder if this scene was supposed to involve Stanley? And they pasted the hyenapup over him?

OK, tiny plot hole. Why didn't they get Mr. Hyena back through the anomaly after they EMD'd him? Or did he come back through when Connor opened it up to push the pups through?

Love the old-skool weapons. Which of course just happened to be hanging around. Because every old house there has them, right? Like all the real estate listings mention bedrooms, bathrooms and a well-stocked medieval armory?

They actually did pretty well on the fur in these closeup shots.

Hot damn, Emily! Nice hit!

How the hell is she staying in that dress with all that running around?

Oh, wait. She's not. Damn. I think Ruth may well rival Lucy's fantastic rack. I think I'll need an in-person comparison to be sure.

"High five!" "..." AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH *dying, here*

Mr. Groom's blue suede shoes are making me giggle. Nice kick, though.

SUPERJENNY!!

Poor, angsty Matt. I think he really does like her. Or maybe it's the dress.

Love this scene. She's tying up her loose ends, and he's proving he deserves her. OK, dude, you can have her. But treat her well, or the lesbians will track you down. Hmph.

Connor in a hat again, and Lester on a laptop playing officiant. I can die happy, now.

Aw, Emily. Arranged marriages suck, don't they?

I honestly can't say anything snarky about this scene. very well played, and it was really good to finally see Matt break down a little. Not to mention the awesome data we got, there. Looks like my Denethor/Faramir thing was close on.

Next episode (and damn, whyyyyyy is it the last one?): Emily's reluctant to go home, terror birdies are back, Philip is an asshole and anomalies start dividing like zygote cells. Woo!
