You're kind of hard to miss in that outfit

It's been a while since we've done the whole Kirsti Rewatches Crappy 90s TV Shows and Has A Lot of Thoughts thing, so let's talk about Charmed season 2, shall we?

Please buy bras. Also, source.

• I have literally no memory of Dan the neighbour guy and his niece.
• I honestly think the costumes have gotten even worse.
• Their version of 2009 is fucking hilarious.
• Yessssssssss, the start of the dubious musical guests!
• Ahahahahahahahahaha, PRUE GOT TURNED INTO A DUDE.
• ...wow, a Blair Witch Project episode.
• MISHA COLLINS HOLY FUCK. He looks about 12 years old. 

LOL. Also, source.

• Leo's constant eye rolling over the Piper/Dan relationship is hilarious.
• Welp, Prue's astral projection abilities have turned up at an awkward time...
• Ahaha, douchey Glen from The Wedding Singer is Piper's doctor. 
• Awwwww. The Valentine's Day card that Leo gave Piper is kind of adorable. With a teeny side of stalker...

• Um. Did Phoebe just get sexually assaulted by a ghost????????
• Ahahaha, Prue's digital SLR is ENORMOUS. Aaaaaaand she just broke the lens. Ouch.
• PRUDENCE HALLIWELL, DID YOU JUST SLEEP WITH YOUR KIDNAPPER??????
• AMY ADAMS, WHAT. And she's being stalked by The Mummy. I can't even. Plus, her outfits are SO flattering! 

I imagine her face looks like this now when she thinks back
on the fact that she guest starred on Charmed. Source.

• Oh my God, Anne from Buffy/Angel. Awesome.
• ....................is that Rembrant from Sliders? OH MY GOD, IT IS.
• Okay, the 30 seconds worth of zoomy shots of San Francisco at the start of every single episode are getting really old really quickly. WE GET IT ALREADY.
• Ahahahahahahaha, chimpanzees with magical powers? What the hell even is this show? 

LOL. Source.

• So apparently the alien bounty hunter from The X-Files is one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Awesome. 
• Ahahahaha, 17 year old Prue with braces. 
• BYE DAN. NO ONE WILL MISS YOU. 

And one final photo for good measure because I cannot stop laughing at how awful it is:

And yes, the title of this post is an actual quote from season 2. Quite possibly the most accurate quote of the entire series...

Did you watch Charmed back in the day?

Another bullet pointed update

Try as I might, I'm currently incapable of coming up with a single coherent idea to turn into a blog post. So instead, you get a lot of rambling. Aren't you lucky?!

• I went to see Argo with my parents last night. Half way through the trailer for The Hobbit (it doesn't open here until Boxing Day), my mum turned to me and went "Bilbo is the porn guy from Love Actually!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Yes. Yes, he is.
• I just discovered that Seth Green played a vampire in the original Buffy movie. I now feel the need to go and watch it immediately.
• I finally managed to persuade my travel agent that no, my travel insurance policy should not come with the title "Mister". This is something of a relief to me.
• I got a Christmas card from Kat the other day. It came from somewhere rather more exotic than New Zealand:

• I had dinner with the lovely Pretzel Thief in the city last night. I'm honestly surprised that it took us a good hour and fifteen minutes before we discussed Pacey Witter Dawson's Creek.
• Deidre and I went to see Pitch Perfect last Friday. Our one sentence review: "Could they really not find more attractive men who can hold a tune??"
• The Channel 7 catch up TV thing is refusing to let me watch last night's episode of Grey's Anatomy. This makes me sad. 
• I bought the twins this (amongst other things) for Christmas. It's quite possibly the most brilliant thing EVER. 
• If you leave candy canes sitting in a cupboard for an unknown number of years, this is what happens:

Ew. And yes, I have a freckle on the palm of my hand.

• There's a possibility that I had a small emotional breakdown this afternoon on account of how a decent chunk of my clothes don't fit any more, and I'm about to spend a month in the home of all things deep fried. 
• Related to the previous, who wants to start coming to the gym with me so I actually have the motivation to go regularly??
• I have a truly terrifying number of Buffy episodes to watch for Snark Squad before I leave the country on January 3rd. Instead? I seem to be spending my evenings watching Sliders and Alias. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
• There's a possibility that I piled six of the paper hats from Christmas crackers onto my head this evening. Because I'm classy like that.

What's new with you guys?

K xx

I. Am. Done.

You guys. YOU GUYS. I. AM. DONE!! With what? Well, I just handed in my last assignment (more like two - we had to build a database and then create a manual for it) for the semester. *flail*

Excuse me while I take this opportunity to celebrate by making use of ridiculous gifs that I have saved to my hard drive but have until now had no use for:

Aaaaaaaand in the course of using those gifs, I've just introduced you to pretty much all my favourite things on the planet. There you have it - my personality in a nutshell!

In other news, this arrived in the post today:

That's right, kids. IT'S THE VERY LAST DISC OF THE X-FILES. I have finally - FIIIIIIIIIIINALLY - made it to the end!! I'm kind of relieved too. I was starting to think it would never be over...

I think I'm going to take a break from the late 90s/early 2000s TV for a while (I've also been rewatching Dark Angel in the past month or so, not to mention watching Buffy for Snark Squad), but don't fret. I've already added Sliders to my Quickflix queue, so Operation Rewatch ALL the 90s Shows is still a go. I just need a little break to watch something that doesn't contain pagers and mobile phones the size of a brick!

So. What's news with you guys??

K xx

We're here to exhume your...potato

That's right, kids. I've now finished season 2 of The X-Files, and I STILL have a lot of thoughts about it. And you guys get to read them all, because I can't keep these thoughts rattling around in my head. THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM, YOU GUYS. So you're welcome, I guess?

"Really? She's blogging about us AGAIN????" "I know, right?"

• Mulder is rocking the double denim in Puerto Rico. It's SUPER attractive.
• Eeeeeeeeuw, giant creepy liver fluke in the sewers. Reminds me of the episode of Buffy where the swim team get turned into sea beasties...

Gross. Also, source.

• Mulder, your hair looks like a toilet brush.
• Oh hai, Krycek. You're a tremendouche.
• Aaaaaah, the mobile phones of enormousness.
• Nice budgie smugglers, Mulder. EXCEPT THAT NOT.
• I'm pretty sure classic Doctor Who had better aliens than this...
• Scully just wrote a cheque for $11.14 worth of groceries. IT'S CALLED CASH, DANA.
• This sticking an X on the window with masking tape thing is so Batman.
• Oh, Scully. I'm sorry they put you on such a ghetto life support machine. It looks like it was made by MacGyver out of some toothpicks and a balloon... 
• Holy crap. Gillian Anderson's post baby having boobs are MASSIVE. It reminds me of Robin Hood: Men in Tights - "Awwwww, Master Robin, you lost your arms in battle... But you grew some NICE boobs!!" 
• "I've always been intrigued by women named BJ." God, Mulder. You're pure class, aren't you...
• Urgh, these mushrooms erupting from people's throats are really vile...

Double gross. Also, source

• And now we've added genetic modification to the list of things they've had to explain (along with IVF).
• Scully seems to be having nightmares about The Master, three years before Buffy first aired... 
• Okay. I'm having issues with this now. Scully has spent however many episodes of this season doing autopsies on murder victims in FBI cases. And yet she's grossed out over the victims of a crazy guy who cuts off their hair as souvenirs??
• WTF. In the VERY NEXT EPISODE there are victims who are missing their eyes and heart, and THAT she's totally fine with???? 
• OMG. These devil worshippers are doing "The rite of Azazel". Someone check for women burning up pinned to the ceiling of their kid's nursery!! (Any Saltgunners out there?? Appropriately, this episode was directed by Kim Manners!) (If all of that made no sense to you, don't worry. It's a Supernatural thing.)
• Apparently you could get perfect mobile reception in a root cellar in 1994. I can barely get phone reception in the CBD some days. Perhaps we should reintroduce brick phones with pull out aerials!
• 1994: a time before airbags in cars.
• Oh my God. The big dude with no neck and the giant stabby needle which turns people into green bubbly stuff (aka The Alien Bounty Hunter) is Luke from season 1 of Buffy!! 

Source

• Nice bumbag, Scully. And it appears to have had an undetectable extension charm put on it by Hermione Granger - Scully's got a phone, a gun, her badge, and some kind of lockpick mechanism in there...
• Okay. I'm pretty sure the bridge that Mulder's sister/alien clone of sister falls off is the same as the bridge in the pilot of Supernatural. (Although the internet seems to not back me up on this...)
• Wheeeeeeee, invisible rampaging elephants!!
• Ahahahaha, really crappy quality video calls cost $125 an hour and have to be made from a copy store.
• Ew, Scully. A mixture of sardine water, lemon juice and the contents of a snowglobe? Given a choice between that and water that makes you old, I'd take the old age water...
• Mmmm, creepy conjoined twin weirdness... And a dude hammering a nail into his nose... That said, I love this episode - the first of the more comedic, snarky additions. (The title of this post came from this episode)
• This lady just tied her two year old kid to a sink by his leash(!) so that she could pee. And then ghosts untied her kid, and he got killed by a tiny train. But seriously, why would you leave your kid tied up in a public bathroom at a theme park?? Has she not heard of stranger danger???
• Wheeeee, creepy Romanian grandmother!! Oh. She just got pecked to death by dead roosters. Of course.

Dead roosters about to come to life and peck granny's eyes out. Also, source.

• Eeeeeeeeeeuw. Decaying boar filled with bugs and oozing pustules in the Costa Rican rainforest. WHY WOULD YOU TOUCH THAT??? Sorry, scientist dude. You clearly deserved to die.
• Monk!! Except instead of being a quirky detective, his shadow is sending people into some kind of swirly portal in the floor. I wonder if this is where they got the idea for Sliders from...
• Wheeeee, mad cow disease!!! Well. Creutzfeldt-Jakobs, anyway. And caused by cannibalism. YUM YUM.
• Nice Chesty Bonds singlet, Mulder. EXCEPT THAT NOT.
• Hahaha, Mulder punched Skinner in the face, and now Skinner looks like he's got a hickey next to his mouth. Lol forever.
• OH MY GOD, KRYCEK. WHY DID YOU KILL MULDER'S DAD??? Also, how very Psycho of you to hide in the shower.
• So Scully put Mulder into bed, and in the next scene he's in his underwear. WHO UNDRESSED HIM???? HMM????? WHO???????
• Um. Scully shot Mulder, bandaged him up, drugged him, put him in a car, and spent two days driving them to New Mexico. And now he's shirtless again. Clearly, Scully is a crazy stalker person.
• Mulder gets perfect mobile reception in a box car buried at the bottom of a canyon on a Navajo reservation in New Mexico. Those 90s mobile phones were SUPER powerful!

"Come on down, Scully. The reception is excellent. Also, there's alien bodies."
Source.

Who else hated Krycek? Did you also wonder if Scully was secretly a crazy stalker person? Were you creeped out by the episode with the school teacher who was secretly the Devil, like I was? And were the terms "bumbag", "budgie smugglers" and "Chesty Bonds singlet" too Australian for you?? Because I can translate if required... ;)
