Summers=Lass

[triskellian]

Believe it or not, this entry is absolutely nothing to do with my academic faffing, or with mysterious playing cards and puzzles ;-)

To the point! On the one hand, we have:

• a sensible, loving mother called Joyce who's more glamourous than TV mums are usually allowed to be
• an absentee father with a dumb name (Hank) and no real role in the story
• their older daughter who works with the dead
• her annoying brat of a little sister who's obviously going to be gorgeous as soon as she's allowed to be, and has difficulty adjusting to her sister's lifestyle

On the other hand, we have:

• a sensible, loving mother called Joyce who's more glamourous than TV mums are usually allowed to be
• an absentee father with a dumb name (Clancy) and no real role in the story
• their older daughter who works with the dead
• her annoying brat of a little sister who's obviously going to be gorgeous as soon as she's allowed to be, and has difficulty adjusting to her sister's lifestyle

Separated at birth, or what? Yeah, OK, calling Joy sensible is a bit of a push, and George doesn't exactly have a "lifestyle" as far as Reggie is concerned, but still.

Unfortunately, I can't tell if this is crazy talk that doesn't stand up to any kind of scrutiny, or so bloody obvious that everyone else noticed ages ago. Next issue: Rube=Giles! Mason=Xander! Daisy/Roxy=Willow! Umm, maybe not that last one.

Daisy slash Roxy equals Willow?

Well, if you want to slash Daisy and Roxy, we won't stop you. The result might not be Willow, but it's probably a worthwhile experiment.

Whoops, no, not that sort of slash ;-) I love Roxy, but I don't want to pair her with anyone. Anyway. Theory? Good?

I had no idea what you were talking about, so yay google - and I find Mandy Patinkin! Yay! What an excellent singer :-)

[triskellian]

Heh. Sorry - should have put a warning that only a tiny proportion of my flist would understand. Hardly anyone seems to be watching Dead Like Me, and it's so good!

Hmmm. Need DLM icon.

Sounds like a sky/cable/satellite thingy to me, and we have none, alas. Though I'm not entirely convinced it'll make tv better, just extend the pool of rubbish so one can find proportionally more good bits :/
I'm being a bit cynical on account of celebrity love doodah and BB6, I think!

[triskellian]

Yep, cable - it does mean more crap, also more good stuff, yeah. 'Specially with a hard-drive recorder (like Tivo or Sky+) so you can skip the crap and watch the good stuff when you want. I've no idea what "celebrity love doodah" is, and I've managed to ignore BB6 so far, so I'm obviously doing a reasonably good job of avoiding the rubbish ;-)

You're missing nowt, chick, it's bobbins so far. Not one of the housemates is likeable this year, which is quite an achievement.

I watched the first series but somehow managed to miss the second for the most part (I think I saw the first episode and then I suspect clashes meant I didn't catch the rest, I never remembered to check).

And I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought that when I looked at Reggie. On the other hand when I look at Dawn I consider her to be allowed to be gorgeous already. Luckily you'll be pleased to know the Reggie definitely needs a few more years. :)
