Isaiah Washington embraces gay culture

November 7, 2006 /

…or at least one member of said culture, as documented by this historic photo of Washington touching an actual gay man in a non-violent (but also very, very NON-GAY, dammit, let there be no mistake…) manner:

And since I can’t possibly top the hypothetical dialogue provided by our gifted friends at Go Fug Yourself, I will blatantly reprint theirs instead (thanks, GFY!):

Isaiah Washington: Oh, HAHAHAHAHA! Let me playfully touch your arm, Doogie, so as to show America that I totally never made any homophobic comments about George! See, I LOVE gays! Love ’em!

Kate Walsh: I’ve got great hair. I’m going to think about that, and just smile. Like I have no part in whatever the hell Isaiah is doing over here. Great hair. Great, great hair.

Neil Patrick Harris: Is this guy touching my arm? This is that guy who choked Loverboy out, right? Okay, I’m just gonna be cool.

Alyson Hannigan: Should I go back to being a redhead?

Isaiah Washington: See?! I would NEVER say anything mean about the gays. I LOVE THEM. Especially this one. Don’t let my ragaholic behavior influence your People’s Choice vote, America! I was just trying to fix Patrick Dempsey’s HAIR! There was no CHOKING! I was REARRANGING the HAIRS on his NECK. That is ALL!

Kate Walsh: How did I get roped into being the girl on Isaiah’s Goodwill tour? Couldn’t they have made the blonde one do this? At least this color is good on me. You know, I think Willow should go back to red hair.

Neil Patrick Harris: Seriously, dude, get your hand off my arm. Don’t be misled by this week’s classy and nonchalant coming out statement, and my smart yet casual ensemble: Doogie will cut you.

File under: It’s about damn time

November 7, 2006 /

Britney Spears has filed for divorce from husband Kevin Federline, according to multiple reports. The petition cites “irreconcilable differences” as the official reason for the divorce…presumably because there was no box to check for “husband is a freeloading, weed-smoking, backstabbing career killer.”

In other news: The birds are singing, the clouds have parted to reveal glorious blue skies…and Kevin Federline is available to perform at your holiday office party, should you require his services.

Prison Break: “Rendezvous”

November 7, 2006 /

Granted, Bellick and his sidekick aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, but wouldn’t you search a guy before torturing him? Hell, the key was right there, sticking out of his sock for all of America to see. Anyway, it was fun to see the sidekick hit Bellick over the head a couple of times with that meat tenderizer. So now another guy has an opportunity to take five million dollars and disappear. What are the chances that the sidekick doesn’t end up with the money? I’d say they were pretty good…

And something tells me that T-Bag is going to lose his hand…again. That thing was ripping apart at the seams. Ugh.

I was a little worried about LJ and Lincoln when the van from “Old School” ran them off the road, but once I saw the blonde, I figured they were good to go. She looks like a potential new romance for Linc, assuming the group can get away from the bad guy. It will be interesting to see how that confrontation goes down.

Here’s a theory: all of those “Silence of the Lambs” switcheroos were just a setup for tonight’s non-switcheroo when Michael and Sarah met by the railroad tracks. I saw the car and figured it was him, but they’ve pulled the switch so many times that I was half expecting it to be Haywire or something. Understandably, Sarah wasn’t too pleased about the “run away to Panama” plan, but what was she expecting? Then she pulls a Houdini while Michael’s in the bathroom, leaving a note that said, “This time I know better.” Please. What’s the moral of the story? Stay with Michael or you’ll end up with a gun in your face.

And then there’s Mahone…it’s not too smart to mention Panama to Michael. I loved Scofield’s line just before: “When you get close, I will win…every time.” And how about Sarah telling Michael to put on his seat belt when he got into the car? I sure hope that was intentional comedy.

Before there was “Borat”…

November 6, 2006 /

…there were “The Papdits,” an entire family of immigrants unfamiliar with American customs.

Once doomed to obscurity when their TV pilot (not-so-coincidentally written by Anthony Hine, who partnered with Sacha Baron Cohen on the “outline” for the largely improvised “Borat” film) was rejected by CBS, the wacky family from Kashmir has been hastily exhumed so that the network can cash in on the public’s current appetite for fumbling foreigners inadvertently placing Americans in uncomfortable situations.

You can view the full pilot for “The Papdits” online at CBS’s Innertube site…and you know what? It’s not bad. The Papdit papa confuses quartz crystal with crystal meth, and demonstrates a disturbing level of interest in how his mother-in-law might “accidentally” drown on a houseboat. His son aspires to be “important scientist like Doctor Doolittle.” And his wife — she from a region notorious for female infanticide — lets loose with this doozy:

“Our daughter is very strong swimmer. When she was a baby, she was falling from a bridge into the river, and she swam all the way back to shore. We don’t know how she got out of the sack.”

Now that’s comedy.

Heroes, Week 7: Who the hell is Theodore Sprague…?

November 6, 2006 /

“Heroes don’t run away; bad guys do. Heroes help people.” Damn, Niki’s son is profound.

I don’t think too many people believed that the opening scene of Peter with Simone’s dad was anything but a dream, just as I’m sure I’m not the only one who, when they saw Simone at the door, knew instantly that her father had died. It’s interesting how the elusive Mr. Linderman now has ties to both Peter and Nathan. It didn’t occur to me that Nathan’s wife might be handicapped; I have a sneaking suspicion that she’ll end up developing powers as well…beyond, of course, just to power to hypnotize men with her beautiful blue eyes. Great family brunch scene, especially Peter turning the tables on Nathan and being the one doing the blackmailing for a change. Nathan’s still an asshole, though he does show that moment of brotherly love at the last second.

I keep meaning to mention that Claire’s mom seems so eccentric that I have to wonder if it’s some sort of elaborate act…but that’s just an aside. Frankly, I thought Claire’s brother, Lyle, was going to upload the video of her various “stunts” onto the ‘net, since my understanding is that that’s what all the kids do with their cool videos these days. But, nope, he was just freaked out by her abilities…to the point of asking her if she’s an alien. You gotta love the fact that his first thought was not to ask her about her powers but, rather, just to grab a staple gun and shoot her right in the hand.

As usual, Hiro’s scene was the most fantastic of the episode, with him stopping time before a car could explode, allowing him to save the victim and her would-be rescuer…who, as it happens, was Niki’s ex-husband. Hiro also gets the obligatory funny scene, telling Niki’s son about his comic book appearance.

AliasBoy is back! Matt starts the episode still trying super hard to save his marriage, but that’s the problem with knowing everything the other person is thinking: you know everything the other person is thinking, both good and bad. The marriage may not be salvageable, but at least Matt got that punch in. So now he’s back with the FBI again, discovering that Syler’s latest victim was burned in some fashion that results in massive amounts of radiation. Before, though, he was freezing people. Then, when the dynamic duo find him in the hospital, Syler makes the comment about what might happen if he uses them again. Are his powers evolving…?

Niki asking for help from her “evil twin”? Yikes, that’s desperation. (By the way, was this the first time we heard that Niki’s alter-ego is named Jessica…?) She doesn’t really do much this episode except fret to her girlfriend…well, not ’til that very last scene, anyway. Great moment with Micah revealing his powers at last. I knew that kid wasn’t just a super-genius!
