As if a mere stabbing could stop Erica Kane. Pshaw! We knew Erica would survive because as stated, Susan Lucci is All My Children, but I was amused how she made such an easy non-dramatic sort of recovery in this episode. Her barely lucid comments to Bianca were awesome. First asking if the party was over and then asking about the state of her dress after the stabbing.

Then, of course, sleepily telling Adam off. Such win. Erica rules all.

Once again, The Rack was most distracting to me in this episode. For a lesbian I will acknowledge that I have very straight male tendencies and those of you who commented before on my Rack analysis, look at the video 1:00 minute in and tell me honestly you can't see where my fixation originates from! I can't help myself. It's just out there and how does one not stare? Impossible, I say.

My favorite thing was probably the tiniest thing and that's when at 1:59 into the clip, Bianca walks into the waiting room and she's holding hands with Reese and tugging Reese along after her like a little lost duckling. I found it so fucking cute for some reason.

Yeah, that shot was kind of unintentionally funny as were a lot of other bits in the clip. Eden channeling Marilyn Monroe is what popped into my head. Note to director: do not let Bianca bend over dying mom when wearing a low cut dress.
Generally there were all kinds of strange shots in this clip. Like zach holding reese back at the beginning didn't seem choreographed quite right, then she's kneeling on the floor in her tight dress and heels looking trapped, then zach grabs reese again to send her for bianca and almost catapults her out of there. Weird.


Btw, Love your icon. That advisory was pretty much the funniest part of the movie.

The blocking was pretty odd in this episode. I didn't like how grabby Zach was with Reese. First he tells her to get back then proceeds to run over to Erica just like Reese was planning on doing then that whole sort of flinging her back to go get Bianca. Very weird.

I loved pretty much all of Wall-E but I worship at the alter of Pixar much in the same way I do with Mac computers and South Park. Those three things almost always equal pure awesome to me.

Yes, The Rack is most distracting, especially when Binks rushes into the room and leans over Erica. For a second I thought she was gonna pop out of her dress! Wouldn't that make for great daytime television, LOL!
