why i hate alias and six feet under: a short essay by donna
****IF YOU WATCH ALIAS OR SIX FEET UNDER AND ARE NOT UP TO DATE ON THE SHOWS DO NOT READ THIS POST; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED****
ok so i just wanted to take a moment as i step away from organizing my thoughts on the scholarship of the midwest as a region to talk about these two shows.
my irritation with alias is quicker and only two fold, so let me begin there:
1. how the fuck are you doing to kill vaughn in the first episode. i mean really, how can you do that? jes and i are both wondering if he is really dead. what do you all think? please post your opinions so we can discuss
2. how the fuck are they going to pretend we don't already know sid is preggers. i meant good criminey, her boobs have increased TEN FOLD and she went from having a concave taut belly to, well, looking like most other almost thirty women with a little pooch. not so good on "hiding" her bump j.j abrams. i hope she falls in love with dixon, but that is unlikely b/c i think he is doing it with angela bassett (lucky)
onto my real irritation: six feet under
now i know i am a bit behind with this b/c i think they have already finished the season, but we don't have cable so we couldn't watch it the first time around. here are my gripes:
1. how are you going to kill nate five seconds before brenda has her baby?
2. how the hell are you going to have nate do it with that socially awkward quaker girl and then have him collapse right afterward. AAAAAHHHHHHHH!
3. and why oh why are there no sane people on that show? ruth makes me nuts, david makes me nuts, brenda who wants to have sex with her wingnut brother makes me nuts and i am so over claire's drunken/drugged out stupor. and how does she keep drinking so much and stay so thin? and really do you think she and mr. i-lick-dubya's-ass lawyer could really get along? i know they say opposites attract, but really? i am realizing at this point the only folks who make sense are rico and keith. interesting. the only high point of this all is i like keith and david's youngest son anthony. he reminds me of this kid amos i used to work with. but amos was a hellion.
4. what about maya? i mean they are carting her back and forth like a sack of potatoes and she just keeps smiling and playing with her dollies or reading her book. they have all these fucked up conversations IN FRONT OF HER. you betta believe she will end up in therapy real soon. lets just hope its not with her mom or slutty gramma.
ok i just had to get that off my chest.
