Thoughts and Strangeness

eyesthatslayFirst off let me go into what I thought of the episode.
I liked the episode, but I didn't get drawn in with all the "mystique" that was being tossed out. I feel a mild curiosity, but not a burning desire to know what it all means.
I am glad to see Spike fighting again, and the Matrix style fight scenes were cool to see. Interesting how he is the incredibly rude hero. Heh.
I too am wondering why Linds is using the name Doyle, plus claiming to have his gift of visions as well. Once again...no deep thought yet, just mild curiosity so far. As far as Eve goes, she still does nothing for me.
I felt as if Angel's dream sequences are in the idea of Restless. I'm guessing alot of what happened in them will eventually come to mean something later on.
I think that Spike hit the nail on the head when he broke it down for Wes and Gunn. Their priorites have gotten so muddled, who knows if the FG are accomplishing much of anything in the balance of good vs. evil. It seems that there is alot of emphasis being placed on this question, and the question of what purpose does Angel even serve anymore.
I'm hoping that the story line will eventually draw me in, because it is so much more fun that way. I will say that they are still keeping me entertained, and that works for now.
Now on to the amusing and traumatizing commercial. When the first shot of the commercial panned across the TV, it gave both![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angstchic and I pause. A naked woman with silicone breast enhancement glued to her breasts. Try NuBra For A Natural Bouncy Look!! Then they showed various shots of cleavage from every angle known to man. Emphasising the point "Add a full cup size" with split screen before and afters. Suddenly 3 women run down some steps, decked out in 3 size too small baby T's, silicone bouncing in slow motion..."Yes, they mooove with you!!" The only thing missing was the theme from Chariots of Fire. We were horrified and amused at the same time. A commercial with incredibly bad taste that only seemed to get worse. Then they showed how to attach the things. "Just press lightly"...then there is this little strap that the model hooked in the center to connect the two "enchancements" pulling everything to the middle for "dramatic cleavage". At this point we were really hoping that adhesive would hold, because we could just imagine this cartoon bo-yo-yo-oing, and the falsies shooting across the room and wrapping around a innocent bystander's neck like a rabid squid. I wondered aloud if they would tout Polygrip as an emergency backup. The stuff they advertise on TV, it just boggles the mind. *shakes head*

But we both found it hilarious, if for slightly different reasons ;)
