Let's Shake Some Squee - Second Chance 1x09 When You Have to Go There, They have to Take You In

How long can those titles get?!

So after a hell of a frustrating week, I couldn't wait for my weekly date with Duval. And at 5 pm yesterday, I was ambushed by my boss asking me if I wanted to go to dinner with the team. Argh. A TV show is not really an excuse, right? And I don't want it to prevent me from socializing. I need real people in my life just as much as I need fictional ones. So I went. And oh miracle, I made it home at 7.55 pm! So I both ate a wonderful piece of steak, and I got my date with Duval. Made up for all the crap of the week. :)


Funny how no one seems particularly happy that Mary is cured. I mean, this is super good news, isn't it? She's cured, it's a brand new treatment... Where is cheerful and innocent Alexa when you need her?

Peek-a-boo!

Well, okay, I guess Otto is happy. Or more likely, relieved, that Mary isn't gonna die. But he's too obsessed with Jimmy right now...
Speaking of Otto, I would feel bad for him, being manipulated by Connor and Alexa, if his own possessive need of Mary wasn't just as wrong, and if he wasn't just as bad as them. How many "experiments" was there before Jimmy? How secrets does he keep from Mary?

Made me smile to see them play Go though. I wonder if Otto would have beaten Google's DeepMind.

And what is Connor end game? Building his own little army of monsters? Makes you wonder who are the real monsters...

At least I'm glad that Alexa has some doubts. Her position is difficult and I can see where she's coming from. She's been used and thrown away. Brought back to life without consent and doesn't want a life without her husband.

Meanwhile Jimmy and Duval are still working their issues.

It's not that I don't want you to move with us, but I don't really want you to move with us... You know, the tank...

But they're working on some synchronized moves too. Getting pretty good!

And poor Duval. Life isn't easy on him lately. Between his dead-not-so-dead father, his teenage girl acting out, now a colleague agent has been killed, and the chinese monster busted his knee. He's gonna need some big hug time. (And that's not even mentioning next week's preview). He's taking care of everyone, but who's there to take care of him?

My baby needs a hug. I'm volunteering.

Dad, wanna ride the ferris wheel? I have some experience running those things...


And just because I love this shot.

Finally, I got to catch up with Second Chance this weekend. Loved the synchronized beer drinking! I'd forgotten Duval's earlier life as a carnie! Thanks for all the lovely pics.

Soooo far behind on my TV shows!! I liked the Duval and Jimmy scenes in this one, but I'm struggling with the whole conspiracy and 'other transgenics out there' plot. Not sure why, but part of me would prefer to just have Duval and Jimmy solving crimes without the rest of it *shrugs* But kudos for the writers for making it more complex, even if for some reason I'm struggling with that side of it!

Hopefully will catch up with the next episode tomorrow.

EDIT: The synchronised beer drinking was pure excellence! Can we have more of that, please?!

Here is more of that! ;)
