Again, I liked the recap far better than the episode that inspired it - though, honestly, I would have found "... Jon Robin laid an egg" irresistible, even if somewhat inaccurate. And not the best scansion. Also, "Major Hickey" - heh.
This is definitely one for the "trying too hard" column. And I really,
really wanted someone to slam Holly for that unbelievably sanctimonious "I believe that the politically correct term is 'the other woman'" remark. I'm sure Sarah was
thinking something awesome. (
::highfives Bruinsfan:: I'm saying.)
Which, no. You have this conversation immediately so that your child isn't cherishing false hope. Rachel Griffiths gives the homily her all, though, and adds that Paige will get stronger as a result of having to deal with this, and will get in touch with her inner magic, or something icky. You've watched TV before; you get the gist. Sarah tells Paige she loves her more than anything else in the whole world, and Paige saves the scene from giving me diabetes by asking eagerly, "Even more than Cooper?" Sarah has more love than both of them together will ever need. Hugs. Bleah.
Hear, hear. "Icky" is right. And "Brigadier General James Earl Glarypants" is a thing of beauty. But,
Even when it's naughty, I can't stay mad. Well, except at the music supervisor. You couldn't find an inexpensive recording of "Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming" instead of using yet another too-on-the-nose ditty that talks about "on this winter's night with you"?
aw, don't be dissin' the Lightfoot, now.
