That must be SOME virus if it's affecting his brain.
I just assumed it was a mild case of medusa. Didn't everyone assume that? That's why he's such a superfreak about getting Perseus done YESTERDAY--he needs it for himself. Yes?
Yeah, Boris and Natasha tripped up with that b-day response e-mail. I also thought--wait, can't Jack check the headers on that e-mail to figure out what IP address sent it.....or something? I mean, I know Leandra/Natasha is supposed to be some computer wiz (and yet......why do the 3 of them share the SAME DAMN LAPTOP??!!) but slipping up on that detail--when they HAD HIS WALLET??!!--is just too capricious. They f-ed up.
I think Jack and Hoolia will talk their way out of it, PROBABLY b/c of somethign about BSN (batshit Natalie....we need a good name for her. Mommy Smearest?) ANyway, maybe Caroline will bust in....who knows.

Feb 5, 9/8 c - Three Lovers, One Gun
After hearing the news about Natalie’s slip, an angered Eric forces her to do the right thing. A stunned Michael gets an unexpected visitor at the mansion. And despite Natalie’s confession, Andre has doubts about what Michael chooses to believe. from the MNTV site. I think this pretty much answers our questions about how J/J might wriggle out of this.

At least people other than Jack are starting to see that Michael really is an overgrown twelve-year-old kid with billions of dollars and a lot of control issues...which probably explains the Supercuts haircut, doesn't it?
But--God, what I wouldn't give for Jack and Caitlin's dad to go "You know, he's just not that into you..." to Caitlin...

How old is Caitlin supposed to be? She's acting like a 13-year-old. Her dad sure isn't helping things. Last night's convo made him seem like a colossal asshole. At least her mom was trying to tell her to respect herself.
Jack and Julia are saved by Natalie. That's as much a hindrance as a help. The reasoning was rather clever, though: I'll give Nutty that.
Oh, Alfred. You don't watch a secret Flash Drive of Doom in Michael's lab! Could he be any dumber sometimes?
Love Leandra's "whips and chains" answer to Michael's question about masochism. And then when he called her on it, "on my days off," with that smile. Nicely done.

Alfred reminds me of two doctors that I know, whip smart but no commonsense what so ever. Why would he watch that at work? What did he do to that flash drive when he was putting that dial on??
Supercuts should just ride Natasha already for God's sake. He is so clueless that she would get her freak on with him. They could make lovely freak babies together. Why oh why wasn't he bleeding when he was stressed while holding the gun? I kept waiting as they kept showing his profile that he would bleed in front of Hoolia/Braindead.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Added a superlong post and my wifi ate it. It must have been the same jacked-up SUPER MAGNET (escapetochg ) that Alfred used to erase the data on the flash drive.
GAH!!!!!!!!
Highlights:
-"on my days off." Awesome snerk. Further proof that Supercuts' powers of perception are nil to zilch.
-have a hunch that Caroline will remember all. My belief is that Gabs wasn't supposed to pick the kids up that day and was about to leave supercuts. Just speculation. But I think Caroline is suppressing it and was told that right before the crash. Remember, "Mom, what's wrong?" in all those sad-sack Gab-face flashbacks. So once she remembers and the compound blows up (like we keep seeing in the promos, and really, how the HELL do they do that?) Jack and Hoolia can be her new daddy and mommy, squeeeeeeee!!!
-WHO is saying "seems Julia's formed an...unhealthy attraction for her bodyguard" on those VOs on the promos? Sounds like Isaac which makes no sense. It's not Andre.
-Speaking of Boris, when is he going to hold Ryan at knifepoint? And is it because he's angry that he just can't quit him? Or to get him to spill his fabulous little guts about Hoolia and Jack? And why does he take all this so personally when working for Michael is just work?
-loved Alfred's little old man run/walk away from the telescope. Also, kind of the classic nutty professor dummy.
-Julia handled herself pretty well against the junior high orange-faced supercuts tantrum. Good on ya, hoolia. And I LOOOOVED The Cool Cahoon stare of pearly white hostage negotiation. Also? Eric is an idiot.
-Also? Dad is.....what. Archie Bunker? That LAME repeated line about "YOU and your WOMEN's MAGAZINES. Laaaaaame.
-I believe Stu Segall gets all the schmancy cars free to use for product placement. I *THINK*. All I know is there's a lot full of them.

Yeah, the baby is definitely starting to remember things, and it's all tied to someone trying to leave "Dad." First her mom, and now she's all paranoid about "Dad" doing something to make Julia/Braindead leave. No wonder she's so attached to Julia.
At least people other than Jack are starting to see that Michael really is an overgrown twelve-year-old kid with billions of dollars and a lot of control issues...which probably explains the Supercuts haircut, doesn't it?
After last night, maybe there's some hope for Caitlin after all! It didn't take a rocket scientist to read between the lines. Even
her libido has its limits. Meanwhile, you have to practically sky-write and have a front-page banner in the L.A. Times before Julia figures out that Supercuts is a maniac.
-Speaking of Boris, when is he going to hold Ryan at knifepoint? And is it because he's angry that he just can't quit him? Or to get him to spill his fabulous little guts about Hoolia and Jack?
I was flipping back and forth between this and The Unit. If I'm not mistaken, this happened last night. Ryan threatened to "out" Mr. I'mSoNOTGay last night if he didn't stop harrassing Julia, which caued I'mSoNOTGay to get angry. Julia walked in on them and demanded to know why he was still in her house, after which he left. Poor Ryan was heartbroken. Jack found a bug under the lampshade in Julia's bedroom earlier while they were getting frisky. I'm also concerned about how careless these two are getting lately. First, the slip-up in front of poor Alfred. Then Jack takes Julia to Natalie's party and they're openly affectionate there. Now this--AFTER Supercuts has been threatening and whipped out a gun on his so-called fiancee. At one time, Supercuts had a key to Julia's house; I'm not sure if he still does.

I'm also pulling for those two. They remind me of Bill and Karen Hayes on "24." It's nice to see older couples find romance when they weren't really looking for it. I'm hoping the fact that Christine couldn't go through with recording their conversations will count for something. Although, I'm sure Alfred will wonder if even her tears are an act.

You're right that Caitlin knew; she was in on it. The show started with a recap where she actually left a message for Steve asking if he got the money. Because she didn't identify herself, Boris and Natasha had no idea who made the call.
After what happened last night, it seems she finally realizes that riff-raff comes in all packages and that what glitters isn't always gold. Hopefully, she'll consider herself lucky and run--not walk--to the nearest exit away from Supercuts and his freakery.

actually,
Bill C, Caitlin totally knew that it was Supercuts whom Steve was blackmailing. Back when those two losers were both employed, they did his books.....so when Steve hatched his fatal plan, they did it together. (Remember?
"Baby, I cooked his books....") SO she knew that the meeting was with Michael--he had the deep pockets to pay them off. She just was totally convinced that Steve had left town with the money.
Her playing dumb business with all the incessant questions about WHO, HOW, etc. to supercuts was to pump him for info/figure out wtf happened to Steve (remember how she screwed up and said "them" rather than "him" once?)--with very sad consequences. (First time I ever felt sorry fo her!)
If I'm not mistaken, this [ryan at knifepoint] happened last night.
I'm not so sure. Boris had him in a headlock. But the clip they show in promos--maybe even the credits? Is a super closeup w/ a knife. Maybe I looked away for a sec and missed it.

Me too. that was a great phone call and why does Catherine Oxenberg's character care if he's gay or not? I love flighty Ryan and Robot Andre. He finally let his guard down tonight.
Oh good one now that they know Michael is dying. Aw I hate for this one to end. I wish they'd pick it up and keep it going, but by the looks of what's coming in the 4 wks it all blows up. I can see Jack and Julia will end up with Michael's kid. Michael has to die and I'm sure Catherine's character will too.
BTW, as much as Jack/Todd is hotter than hot, and I love his sexy voice, what up with his staring where he doesn't even blink or move his face? Sort of bugs me. Anyone who is a fan of Todd he was up for Mr and Mrs. Smith, but didn't get it. Just as well. I'm sure that pilot will tank.

I guess that's why his booty call to DamnFoolia was so urgent last night. Supercuts doesn't have too long to live apparently. I know he was told a few weeks ago that the attacks would intensify and become more frequent.
And not to be crude or anything, but I'm glad they answered a question that's been in the back of my mind for weeks: can whatever is ailing Supercuts be sexually transmitted. It just struck me as odd last night that Jack would shag DamnFoolia before Alfred told him the good news about her tests. Most guys I know wouldn't have gone near her.

That promo had a heap of different scenes that didn't exist in the show. Jack meeting Michael cause he was attacked in an outdoor cafe? Didn't happen. And I don't think the Julia/Jack pool thing happened either unless in the last episode, they get the compound.

The pool thing happened a couple of weeks ago, when Jack and Julia were starting to realize their attraction for each other was going to be problematic. They had a swimming contest and Julia, being a champion swimmer in high school (I know, I know), let Jack tie her, so as not to bruise his delicate male ego.

So much for my Andre theory. I don't mind being wrong about Andre so much as I hate that they've made him into such a cliche`. So far, the only gay characters who've been on MNTV soaps have been either effeminate fashionistas (
Fashion House) or cartoon villains like Andre, who's not only evil, he's a self-loathing tool. Unless Andre's got a non-evil gay twin brother named Andrew, this storyline's as pointless as Caitless' existance. Then again, what else could be expected by a network owned by FUX?
Ryan and Andre...Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
I actually like the contrast of fun, flirty Ryan and serious brroody badboy Andre. Reminds me of Buffy and Angel.

I'd love that too, but unfortunately, I doubt that's going to happen. Apparently on this network, redemption arcs are for
straight characters.
On a lighter note, re Friday's episode, Todd Cahoon's so hot he even makes a clown mask sexy.

Feb 12, 2007 @ 4:55 pm
Those myspaces are wildly inaccurate anyway--several of the actors list way-off ages, etc....which makes me wonder if they're actually started by fans, etc.
Well having finally watched that promo thing--which I think is made of like 90% alternately shot/re-shot stuff--I think it's safe to say we will never see:
-the plane scene "tell julia....tell her I love her"
-"kill him"
-"seems Julia's formed an unhealthy attraction for her bodyguard" (but it answered my ?? about that line--it's either grant or marshall--the one at the gate--who says it.
-"my fiancee will kill me..." thing
Basically they must have rethought some stuff and changed the whole cabdriver thing (in the myspace version he's driving an old car, but not a cab...and they end up going out for a drink not running michael's little errands.) I do know that the first episode (the awards dinner/caroline's aborted kidnapping) was shot pretty late in the game for this show--October 12 (I did background work on that one) so they must have changed their minds about the nature of the first meeting. From the looks of the whole outdoor cafe thing too, it also appeared that they maybe hadn't had Michael and Jack as old friends in the previous incarnation?
I wonder if they feared the appearance of some sort of anti-asian bias?? Because the flashbacks he always has of the jungle where his wife/whoever is murdered is clearly by an Asian man.....and in that cafe scene, the terrorist guy is also Asian...so he could have been set off by that just as much as his killer jack instincts. And rescuing the teenage girl seems more heroic somehow.
Just thoughts.
