ST: Enterprise "In A Mirror, Darkly" - Part II

Tonight was the conclusion to last week's story arc, where we were faced with an Enterprise crew from a parallel universe.

So, I was wrong on the prediction, and the 2 crews neither met nor interacted. Which is ok, I suppose; otherwise what happened to the Defiant wouldn't be a mystery in Kirk's time. Still, as excited as I was about last week's episode, I can't help but feel that this week's wrap-up was a bit...cheesy.

Perhaps it's because there was nothing new. We already knew what the crew was like, so the pillaging, plundering, plotting, killing, etc. were no surprise. Even the Evil Archer's plan to take on the Starfleet and to become Emperior was no big leap. What made it lacking for me was Scott Bakula's acting. For no lack of better words, it was awful. He sucks at being a villain; where he was supposed to sound evil and ambitious, he just sounded silly and disingenuous. (Example: When Evil Archer saw the historical data file for Capt. Archer, how Archer was praised as being such a great man and how Evil Archer said great men were meant to conquer.) Bakula has had much better performances. He's just not...evil enough, despite the plotting and sleeping around with the Evil Hoshi.

Linda Park, on the other hand, has been doing great. She's played Evil Hoshi with such calculating sluttiness that I feel uncomfortable watching her innocent looking self, jumping from bed to bed and frolicking around in her little lingerie. And that scheme in the end, where she poisoned Evil Archer so she could take over the Defiant and declared herself "Empress Sato"? That was almost comic. More unbelievable than usual, even, because I couldn't figure out how she was going to command and control the ship, being the lowly ensign that she was, and probably having done nothing in her entire tour of duty because she was so busy sleeping around with men. She couldn't expect the entire ship to be her harem, could she?

With that much plotting, mutiny, and confusion, I'm surprised that the Empire in the parallel universe even lasted, and that Humans were able to be united to conquer entire species of aliens much more advanced than they were.

Then, there was the attempt to recreate the feel of TOS, with the Evil Crew putting on the very colorful 60s uniforms and the equally colorful bridge and hallways and pipes. Sure, it was a nice little tribute and trip down the memory lane, but it just pointed out the big disconnect among Enterprise, TOS, and TNG/other sequels. There is the grey Enterprise bridge, which seems like a natural precursor to TNG; in the grand scheme of things, the TOS technology, uniforms, and color scheme just looks like the Federation was on crack or acid for a century or two.

I think this parallel universe thing could've been done in one episode. But the opening credits still rocked. Word has it that the opening for the series finale will be different, too.

The Office (US) season finale

This one was good-- not as strong as the other episodes but still a good one.  It centered around a pretty purse saleswoman whom Michael allows to set up shop in the conference room for a day.  At first he told Pam "no solicitors in the office", but then he got a look at her and... well, you know how some guys are.

I think I've figured out what's off about the series.  Now, I'm well aware that Michael Scott is supposed to be a totally clueless blowhard, but his scenes are so long.  It's like a breath of fresh air-- not to mention a respite from the discomfort and embarassment-- when the other characters appear onscreen.  I know this is part of the essence of the show, but if the writers could tone it back just a notch... I could better get through his scenes.

Per his norm, Michael was clueless; constantly hovering around the saleswoman, trying to charm her with coffee (from a Starbucks coffee barista that was supposed to be the incentive prize for the office's top salesperson!), offering to give her a ride when her own ride bailed.  She looked completely uncomfortable, laughing in that way we all have when we don't know what else to do but don't want to be rude, but he kept going and going, even trying to thwart Dwight, who wanted to ask her out, by telling him that he didn't know if he was in love with her yet.  Heh.

Dwight and Jim's scenes, as usual, were priceless.  Jim convinced Dwight that purses were the new briefcases for men (according to GQ), and he and Pam kept up a running commentary as Dwight "tried on" purses (trying to step through the strap of one of them!).  For nearly the rest of the ep Dwight had the purse over his shoulder, and it was hilarious.  So was when he finally asked her out, the way she said "No" was funny, too, but I can't do it justice here.  Just so... blunt.

I didn't think they wrote the saleswoman very well, or at least her portrayal wasn't good. Too soft-spoken and hesitant to me for her to be an effective salesperson; especially if she goes around to offices to peddle her wares.  Or maybe her presentation didn't matter; she said she sold to a lot of men, and that was a low-cut blouse she was wearing.  The funniest part of all her sales was when she was talking to the uptight woman, and when asked what her favorite colors were, UW answered, "Grey... dark grey... charcoal".  Heh!  Another example of dull and washed out.

We finally got the answer on whether Pam also secretly likes Jim, which I figured they might wrap up the season with.  Jim was the one to score a date with the purse saleswoman, although it seemed a last-minute afterthought.  After seeing Pam forgive Roy, her fiancee, for the ass comment he made at lunch (by saying he and Pam were 'dating' instead of engaged, and saying that he'd like a piece of that-- the saleswoman), he just went for it, in an easygoing way that Dwight and Michael are unfamiliar with.  There was a wistful, longing look on Pam's face when she saw the saleswoman get into Jim's car, so there you have it.  Aw.

Pam's ego took a blow, too, with people pointing out that the saleswoman was prettier than her, but at least she stood up for herself and said that was rude.

It's funny how alot of these characters are so much more animated, and even smiling, when they're around each other, but once the boss walks in, it's like all the energy was sapped out of the room, and all they can do is stare, or mutter, or stumble over words.  I don't know how true to life that is, but then again, I do know that alot of us certainly act differently around our bosses than we do each other.

So, lots of bits to enjoy, and again, crossing my fingers that it's renewed.

American Idol: Songs since 2000

It's been awhile since I commented on American Idol.  Now that there's six left, it won't take as long, yay.

Paula: Not a contestant, but I've gotta say, I paid extra-close attention to her last night.  Didn't it seem like she was trying extra-hard to appear coherent and not high as a kite, in lieu of her publicity blitz last week?  Even when she clapped, her entire hands met; not just her palms in that weird seal-like clap she usually has going.

Onto the contestants:

Carrie: Meh.  She sounded good, even though the band and backup singers seemed to be drowning her out a little, but the girl was like a dead fish last night.  Barely any movement, and for a really uptempo, in-your-face song like that, you should really be getting down and interacting with the audience.  I felt no connection.

Bo: I'm sick of that damn "I Don't Wanna Be" song now, so wasn't happy that he chose it.  And the shades he wore-- come on, Bo!  Don't turn into Bono too soon.  I thought last week's "Vehicle" was definitely the best of that night, and his best to date, but last night he had a bit too much vibrato in his voice, so it didn't sound as good to me.  But I like him, so I was happy that the judges were pleased with his performance.

Hey, Clay was there!  Yay, Clay!

Vonzell: I normally love her, hated the song choice last night.  She didn't sound good when she went into her lower register; it sounded like she was really straining to hit the right notes.  IMO, she needs to stick with uptempo songs, because her personality really shines through then, she has a ton of fun, and people remember her more when she sings those types of songs.  Pretty as ever.

Anthony: Hum, what?  "Forgettable... that's what you are..." Oh, I don't care.  They made such a big deal about his singing a Celine Dion song, but if a song's written so that anyone can sing it, so what?  But it was still a snoozefest, although I will admit his voice was very good.

Constantine: I friggin' hate this chinless wonder.  Blech, I shudder in his presence.  He sang "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback-- horrible!  HORRIBLE!  His voice was the absolute worst I've ever heard it.  Whoa, so bad.  And the way he goes around leering into the cameras and doing those faux-rocker kicks... someone give me some ipecac.

Scott: Meh.  I haven't wanted him on my t.v. since all the shit about his past came out.  Yes, everyone deserves a second chance, even if they were an ass in the past; my perception though is that he's still an ass.  All that phoney-baloney God stuff, and how he's increasingly projecting the aura that because HE'S up there doing it while millions of us didn't want to bother, and that makes him BETTER than us, is why.  Anyway, crappy performance.  He's sounding too strained.  (I missed the judges' comments on Scott, so if anyone saw them, please recap for me.)  By the way, I howled when his mother kept vehemently saying something like how Scott was an "Everyman".  If that was true, I'd live out in the country, with no one around for miles.

Predictions for the bottom three: Scott, Anthony and Vonzell.  I'm hoping Scott goes, but I think it'll be... Anthony.

reality check

Tuesday, April 26, 2005
The Office (US)

I've caught a few episodes of the original UK version of The Office, and while I didn't think it was brilliant (probably because my actual in-office work is limited, and I can't identify much), it was funny, and weird; as a YOOGE (tm Donald Trump) fan of Arrested Development I'm totally into that dry sense of humor stuff.  When I heard that there was going to be an American remake, and that it sucked when initially reviewed, I thought, "Well, duh."  Coupling sucked-- it just didn't translate well, and let's face it, alot of Americans can't handle alot of sex talk (but it's okay to blow everything to smithereens or have zombies eat people, but that's another rant for another day); Men Behaving Badly was good until they started creating original ones and stopped copying the original. So I didn't expect much from this adaptation, either.

But when the promos started airing I got curious, and decided to check it out.  I've watched it faithfully for the past two weeks (including catching four reruns on CNBC on Sunday), but I think the first one I watched was the health care episode, in which the office workers, forced to name which diseases they had just so they could get covered, listed things such as "hot dog fingers" and "killer nano government robots".

My initial reaction was wrong.  This show is funny, but not in that side-splitting way.  It's also extremely uncomfortable to watch.  I think if I had a boss like Michael I'd quit.  Or at least cry at the end of every work day.  The only problem I have with Steve Carell's portrayal is that he doesn't exactly act like he's being filmed by a documentary crew, but that's it.  His delivery is spot on, and echoing a review I read of the show, he's "apparently unembarassable".  He's mean and petty, then quickly backtracks; he's one of those guys who thinks he's the life of the party when everyone really thinks he's a dud, and he's someone everyone knows: in the last episode, there was a basketball game between the office workers and the warehouse workers.  After boasting about how good he was at basketball... he sucked, of course.  And naturally, everyone he didn't want on the team were good players: the overweight woman, the dopey guy, the Mexican (whom he wanted to save for baseball season, or if there was a boxing match).  The funniest part was how he assumed the black man in the office was a great player, and the guy couldn't even dribble the ball.  No, he's not PC in the least, and that makes this show sort of fresh.  I also think (though not 100% sure) that this last episode was an original one, and it proved that it can run on its own, away from the shadow of the first one.  I shouldn't have expected less from the guy who created King of the Hill and Office Space.

I also have to mention the supporting cast.  First, a not-so-good: I don't know why the temp guy's listed in the main credits, because he doesn't do or say much.  Perhaps something more's coming up for him, or he just got there by being one of the show's writers.  Dwight is a blowhard, a geek who doesn't know it, a small person who thinks he's something much more than he actually is.  Perfect.  Jim is the good-looking one (much better looking than his UK counterpart, but not so good-looking that he's not reachable or likable), and constantly moons over Pam, the receptionist.  It's actually quite cute, though I don't want to become a shipper; all the action takes place at Dunder Mifflin, so I don't know how these two could plausibly get together (you know what I mean).  And she has an ass of a fiancee that she's apparently never going to leave.  Or marry, for that matter, as they've been engaged for three years (apologies to all who have long engagements; mine lasted two years).  The rest of the cast, the ones listed in the end credits, are perfect as well.  No-names, washed up, with droll and hangdog expressions; those who never caught life by the balls but instead got squeezed between its legs.

I do hope the show runs past its six-episode run (tonight is the season finale), and more people give it a chance.  Most of the population hadn't even seen the original, therefore I think the grumbling comparisons from reviewers are silly.  Almost as if they want to admit they like the show (because the reviews have been good), but can't outright admit it because they'd be "uncool".  God forbid they be considered un-PC or uncool, but that's exactly what this show is.

So, I'll be hoping that two of the most unconventional and brilliant comedies (I won't call them sitcoms) on t.v., Arrested Development and The Office are picked up for renewal next month.  In all likelihood, however, the television comedy landscape will remain much as it has for the past decade: bland, boring and more of the same.  I mean, why keep on those two shows when we can have Will & Grace, which is old and crusty?  And let's not forget Joey: completely unfunny.  What room is there for something original when a little over 50% of the country reelected Bush?

ST: Enterprise "In A Mirror, Darkly" - Part I

I feel the urge to utter a whole bunch of expletives out of excitement, because last night's "Enterprise" almost made me pee in my pants. The Klingon thing was exciting, but this was like, beyond it. And I'm like, sort of lost for words. Ok, one step at a time...

This current story arc is supposed to be both a prequel and sequel to some episodes in TOS and DS9; namely, the parallel/alternative universe episodes, and not to mention a scene from "First Contact." In the grand scheme of ST, it's really exciting when they have continuity among the various spinoffs, when you can tell the writers have been hard at work.

The disturbing, in a very good kind of way: The opening credits. Whoa. This is how they should've been doing the credits all along, not some crappy/sappy theme song sung by someone about having faith to believe. This is a symphony, dark, brooding, with the backdrop of images throughout human mystery. Until, you realize that they became images of war and destruction. Then, you see an Enterprise vessel, but was it? No, wait! What was with the yellow designs on it? What was with symbol of the sword behind Earth?

HUGE spoilers ahead. Proceed with caution.

Then, you see Earth in 2063, the year that Zephram Cochran flew at warp speed, and that Vulcans made contact. This was all right out of "First Contact" (though it's been a while since I've seen it, so I don't know if they took the clips right out of the movie, or if they got the same actors on the show). Except, at the point where Cochran was supposed to shake the Vulcan's hand, he took out a weapon and shot the Vulcan to death. He then peppered the other Vulcans with bullets, and the entire human horde invaded the Vulcan ship.

Yeah, that wasn't how First Contact went down. But what followed was what would've resulted had that first contact been violent.

So, some years later, we see Archer and his crew. On the Enterprise. Except, not. There was still a Starfleet, but it had been turned into a crusading fleet, going out into space, pillaging and plundering alien ships, stealing their technology so that Earth could dominate the universe. Soldiers saluted their superiors with a Nazi-like "heil Hitler" gesture, and there was now an Earth Empire. Vulcans have been enslaved by Earth since that first encounter, and all women were forced to wear skinny little uniforms baring their midriffs (fan boy fantasy perhaps?). The entire crew was morally depraved, savage, conspiratory, plotting, horny, aggressive, and savored violence. Even the doctor had taken a liking to torturing aliens and disobedient crew members. Freaky as hell, if you ask me.

There was mutiny on the Enterprise because Archer (who wasnt' the captain) had gotten some secret communication from the Tholians about a spacial rift that had opened up in Tholian space. That rift turned out to be a portal into a parallel universe - according to this particular crew - which is our normal universe where people are moral and just. Fans can sort of expect what will happen in this story arc anyway, but for now, we have this alternate crew finding another Enterprise the Defiant (I stand corrected), from 100 years in the future, that had been taken by the Tholians. The alternate Enterprise got caught in the Tholian web (wish I had seen that episode of TOS) and blew up; none of the escape pods could escape the web, either, and the entire crew died. Except for Archer and a small away team sent to investigate that future Enterprise the Defiant.

In the next portion of the story arc, we'll see them putting on uniforms that are reminiscent of TOS, and trying to rip whatever technology they can from this future vessel so they can bring it back to the Empire. It wouldn't be a big jump to say that the two parallel Enterprise crews will bump into each other. And what a show that will be.

Here's to Enterprise going out with a bang.

Strange

For once, I sat down between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to see what was on t.v. and saw that Showtime Beyond was showing two back-to-back episodes of Strange, a show I've been wanting to check out for awhile but haven't because it only aired six episodes in the UK.  So I watched them both, and the thing that came to mind most was, "Why, Richard Coyle, did you choose to go from Coupling to this?"

Personally, I like my occult drama smart.  The Exorcist was smart (the book; you won't catch me watching the movie); Son of the Endless Night (again, another book... hrm, maybe I like reading it more than watching it) by John Farris is another example of stories that treat the occult smartly and with reverence; meaning, evil gets the due it deserves.  Meaning, evil can be serious business and should be treated thusly.

Anyway, when a character-- the main character, the subject and title role of the series-- goes to the door and flings it wide open-- without looking through the peephole first-- while holding a dismembered arm, and there's a friggin' cop standing there... uh, that's not smart.  That's pretty stupid, and insulting to the audience.  You know what I would do if I had a bagful of bloody appendages on my kitchen table and someone knocked?  I'd stick 'em in the attic, or the storage room, wash my hands, then answer the door.  Or, I just wouldn't open the door at all.  Just because my car's in the driveway doesn't mean I'm home-- I could be out walking.  Or inside napping.

Maybe I was spoiled by The X-Files and now Deadwood, the former of which was full of scientific and paranormal theories and facts; the latter because of its near Shakespearean prose, but long silences and vague references and explanations with no footholds just don't do it for me.  That's what Strange was like.  I watched the fifth and sixth episodes, and while the first ep had a short explanation about a demon in Balkan folklore, there wasn't enough to explain how one could make it from point A to point B.  I hope that makes sense without my having to go through the entire storyline.  In horror and dark fantasy, to be a reader means you have to have the ability to suspend disbelief, but even with that, there always has to be an explanation good enough to give it a little bit of plausibility.  Watching these two episodes, watching how the characters acted, the coincidences and plot devices (such as characters showing up just in the nick of time, John Strange getting fooled by an apparition while still knowing full well that it is an apparition just out to trick him-- there he goes again, looking stupid), it seemed like the producers and writer simply seemed more interested in mood and lighting and somber poses than telling a good, original story.  It's much like reading amateur writers and those who think they can write but can't.  Somtimes simplifying is better, but with occult stories, you need to have meat, and true tension and suspense, and riveting material.  I felt and saw none of this. 

I did think the performances were good, although I didn't recognize anyone but Richard Coyle.  But with abysmal material, there's not much even the best actors can do to elevate it.  And there was much confusion on my part about the background of John Strange, a defrocked priest.  I guess the story began after his fiancee was killed by a demon named Asmoth.  Does that mean he's Anglican? For those of us who assume all priests are Catholic, it was pretty weird watching and thinking, "How'd he get away with that?"  and "Huh, he wasn't much of a priest if he had a girlfriend."

Although it was schlocky, with cheesy effects and lame storylines, if I find out that the pilot is airing, I may tune in to watch, just to find out how John Strange's story began and find out why he acts the way he does with the other characters.  But as far as a series goes, and for resume references, I'd suggest that all involved don't ever mention it again.  Not much to be proud of at all.

Someone over at EW must be on crack. Read this review on the L&O spinoffs and the grades he gave them.

B+ for friggin' "Criminal Intent"?! You've got to be kidding me. Though I see someone else has noticed the very blatant deStablerization, but still. TBJ is different enough for it to be a spinoff, and it's a spinoff that has been unlike the others. I suppose only a lawyer would appreciate why it's good. (I f*** generally in the reviewer's direction, to grossly (pun intended) paraphrase Monty Python.)

My grades would be:

SVU -> A
TBJ -> B+
CI -> C

EW should pay us Ladies to do reviews for them!

L&O: TBJ "Skeleton"

I saw this episode after it was taped, and here's the brief review.

The shooting turned out to have very little to do with Det. Green; he was sort of a collateral damage in an attempt to silence Kenny, the security guard. Turned out that Kenny was a bad cop; after he was dishonerably discharged from the force, he worked as a security guard, but also did some shady things on the side, such as being the middle man in someone's porn tape ring. The guy who shot him was paid to do it by the guy who ran the porn tape production company. A tape showed some young girl getting killed on screen, and the prosecutors try to go after the producer guy for murder.

Long story short, they all made a big boo-boo, as the shooting on the tape wasn't real, and the girl appeared live in the court room to testify. However, the proseuction/detectives did find out that Kenny was shot because another girl was killed, and with the investigation on the lawyer's death in L&O, the producer guy was afraid Kenny would talk.

Interesting story, but I dislike how the previews made it as if someone would be prosecuted for shooting Green. But no. The story could've been just another episode of L&O. Though on L&O you don't usually see sleazy attorneys sleep with their clients. (Shallow moment: The woman who played the defense attorney, Debrah Farentino, looked very slutty in her attire, and her teeth were just awful. Very unbelievable that she was even a lawyer; one suspects that she used to be the producer guy's gf or something.)

Oh, and Fontana was still giving off that attitude crap in TBJ and totally dissing the detectives who were trying to help. Not cool, and I was not amused. Fontana is really getting on my nerves, which makes me miss Jerry Orbach even more.

And there ya have it.

Law & Order: Tombstone

You know, I don't remember as much as I should about last night's show, but I do know it's a good one, and the shows have seemed to get a lot better (not back to the Mothership of Old, mind you, but better) since Farina and Parisse came aboard.  Farina I always liked, but Parisse's likability is explainable: for one, she's SO MUCH BETTER AT ACTING.

The first part was a little laughable, chasing down every single guy the victim had slept with.  I liked that by the end of the detectives' search, you really couldn't tell who the killer would be, although the security guard was high up in my book, since he's been on the show several times (and OZ-- Tom Fontana and Dick Wolf are the crossover kings).  Another thing I liked was more Jack, and not the Jack that's seemed to be of the past few seasons, the one who apparently never knows best.  This wasn't the old, fiery Jack, but at least he was involved more.  I didn't completely buy that he could talk "Fogg with Two Gs" into testifying, because all those corporate assholes have proven to be self-preserving weasels, but I liked it.

The shooting, although I knew it was coming, came right out of left field.  I don't like ending a show confused.  And adding to that confusion was Fontana's attitude at the scene and at McCoy.  Was it simply because the DA's office asked Green to accompany the security guard to court?  I didn't completely buy Fontana's anger because... well, they haven't been partners that long.  Whatever.  Letdown ending to a pretty good episode.

I bristled at the preview for "Trial By Jury", mainly because of Bebe Neuwirth.  Ugh, God... I don't think I can sit through that.

8/10 from me.

I read an interview with Ian Somerhalder (Boone) on EW, about his reactions to his character being killed off. If you keep clicking on the "continue" link at the bottom of the articles, you'll get to a review of last night's episode. Witty and well-written - it's the type of review that I wish I had written!

Lost: "Do No Harm"

Gut reactions first: Not as intriguing as last week's episode, but still a very good, emotional episode in the classic drama kind of way. Lots of things going on, including death and birth. Some people may find that cliché but I thought it was nicely done.

Because I had read spoilers, I knew Bonne was a goner. Thus, it didn't leave me in shock. And that makes me want to stop reading spoilers, but I don't think I have the will power! Still, when Jack was so persistent in saving Boone's life, I cried. Couldn't really stomach all the wound and blood at the beginning and really had to avert my eyes when I knew that Jack was going to stick that pipe right into Boone's chest. Yikes. When you're faced with either letting someone suffocate to death or have a tube sticking out of them, most people would try and let the person breathe. It was sad to see Boone go, but I'm so glad it wasn't Jack or someone else. That was a safe choice on the writers' part, since Boone hasn't really "contributed" to the island in any way and was pretty much the most expendable of all the main characters.

Jack - that he was married/has a wife was the biggest surprise for me in this episode. But he never mentions Sarah, nor was she with him when he went to Sydney to find his father. Something must've happened. Guess we'll find out later.

Sun - I'm really liking her character. She was so calm and collected and did a fantastic job as a nurse. Jack always seems so obsessed with saving someone that it was a breath of fresh air to see someone counter him in terms of caring for another. Still, going back to Jack, I would've never been able to stick a sea urchin needle (or whatever that was) in my vein to give another person a transfusion like that. When Sun pulled the needle out of Jack, I thought that was kinda rash - wouldn't his blood be squirting out because it had been opened by the transfusion?!

How about Claire having that baby, eh? The baby wasn't deformed, nor did it look like Satan. But Emilie de Ravin is still not a regular, so I have to wonder what happens to her (and the baby).

And that preview - whoa! I REALLY hope that they don't kill off Locke, as that would ruin the show for me. He has elevated himself to being my favorite character in this series, with so many unanswered questions about his past, his intentions, etc.

More cliff hangers.

From here on out, it'll be repeats for a few weeks, then a Lost "special" at the end of April, then all new episodes in May leading up to the 2-hour finale.
