I liked the ep a lot! I loved that beginning scene with Liz feeling Max up. I was laughing my ass off during that time. And Kyle's reaction to when he figured out what was going on... LOL! Ha the part about "I'm eternally sorry" tattoo doesn't sound like a bad idea Too bad there was only one scene with Kyle. All the dreamer scenes were great especially the one where Max says there was not a chance in hell he was going to get on a spaceship. And OMG could it be... there was no mention of spot (yes I hate the spawn of the gerbil!)! The ending scene... like destinyros I'm a dreamer, but the candy scene really was cute!

Can't believe only two eps left!

First off, I am pleased that the Podsters actually gave a crap about someone other than themselves, well at least for one episode. Why was it Michael who had to take the lead in the Good Samaritan role? What happened to Max in that department? I understand how he is trying to put Liz first, but it seems to me that part of the reason he and Liz have had so many problems is because he has not been acting like himself: the selfless, sweet, shy, put others first Max that Liz fell in love with. Color me confused I guess?

What was with Michael and the Alien Butt Plug artifact? Screamed "alien" to me? Another "I don't get it". Did like the way they had Michael use the alien mask and morph it into that guys face. They did a good job of making that actor look "mask-like" when Michael was impersonating him. At least they got something right for once. SIGH

The Colonel was flying a "billion-dollar Raptor". F-22 aircraft do not cost a billion, sorry. And since when are airforce pilots flying F-22's in their mid to late 40's? Maybe a test pilot, but ever heard of "twenty and out"? The guy should be retired by now. Why have to kill him for seeing a UFO anyway? Why not just let him in on the secret? Jeez, looks like there are a couple of hundred who know at that facility as it is? Why not one more and avoid the accompanying problems? Couldn't they have had pretty much the same story with the daughter trying to locate her missing father without trying to make the military out to be a bunch of bloodthirsty, treacherous, thugs?

Here is the part I hated beyond rational thought: Isabel and her "Carrie" impersonation at the end. I could see the strings all of that crap was hanging from. Why the "Carrie" any way? Isabel is supposed to become more of a "control freak" when she gets upset. Like in the books, where she sorts her make-up and stuff. What about that camera with the blinking light? Yeah, real covert. And how come Diane is looking younger than Isabel is now? And wouldn't Diane remember her scene with Max in the park in Toy House where he begged her not to ask him any more about stuff like this? And Phillip acting like such a cold, calculating bastard just doesn't fit his character. This entire plotline seems forced and completely out of place.

I did not hate this eppy. I did not love it either. It just seemed like they were going through the motions. Like a filler episode. Set up for the crap coming next week. Anyone else see the preview? I could live to see 150 a happy camper if I would have never seen that promo. SIGH

All my love,

My answer: she's on Jason/Max overload. LOL.

Next weeks eppy doesn't seem that bad because it will fill that huge hole of the terrible love triangle between Max, Tess & Liz. I personally think the eppy will be fine, maybe great 'cause did you catch in the promo that Liz uses her alien powers to blast Tess across the room? ABOUT DA*N TIME--IS ALL I GOT TO SAY!
I wonder if Future Max predicted this? Talk about who's suppose to be with whom...I think it's very clear and nothing needs to be said.

Now back to my feelings about last night's eppy CRASH: I think it started off very good. The Liz feeling up Max scene was great and Kyle's spin on how Michael should get a tatoo to be a constant reminder to everyone that he's eternally sorry was CLASSIC! I can't tell you how many times (after I taped the show) that I kept rewinding to watch that part OVER & OVER. I still laugh, just thinking about it.

I know I've said this in the M/L caps board...but the chemistry may have seemed a bit off between Max & Liz. 'Cause if Liz had enough balls to feel Max up, why couldn't she kiss him or he to her. *know what I mean*
But then I looked at the scene where Max and Michael were going off to save the day and Liz's reaction was, "if there is a ship, don't get on it." And that right there proves as much as she wants to let him back in she's still concerned about that one thing. Tess and the baby...if and when they do stumble back, how were they going to deal?

Two more things: Isabel and Jesse---whatever--I'm just tired of watching their problems. It may sound mean, but I'm a Max and Liz lover and too much of anything else just doesn't cut it.

Michael and Maria... LOVED all their scenes together. I think their best in the show was at the very end when Max and Liz walk back to the car, arm in arm...and Michael leans in like MAYBE she'll give in and she just 'playfully' punches him in the arm. And by the look on his face, he knew he deserved that.

Overall: I really liked the eppy, but I also think it lost a little momentum towards the end.

Ohh, love the 'footsie' scene. I'm probably rehashing it again, but I can't help it. What I wouldn't give to see Kyle's expression in that scene.

Max-Couldn't you come a little farther north?

They're so into each other, they even flirt in front of Kyle. *Sigh* Sorry, I'm just a hopeless romantic.

Isabel is looking worse and worse as the season goes on, isn't she? But she looked okay in Graduation, I suppose.
