bending_sickleI'm just catching up on the past two T: TSCC episodes. This week's is partly set in Mexico, a town called Dejalo (not Déjalo, which would be awesome 'cause that means "leave it"). It's sort of driving me up the wall.
1) If you're taking your girl on a surprise getaway to Mexico, y'all need a passport, which she won't bring 'cause she don't know where you're headin'.
2) It just happens to be the Day of the Dead (yes, there's an English version for El Día de los Muertos, no need to say it in Spanish.) Seriously? Like, yesterday was Halloween? And no one noticed?
3) A woman trying to stop folk can say a shitload more than just, "Oye! Oye, oye, oye, oye!"**
4) Omfg. You did not just have the cop say, "¿Adonde vas? Quédate con nosotros un ratito..."*** in a lewd, "Come on, sugar, let's sexy it up a bit," tone.
5) And of course, when they're talking about running for their lives, they suggest Canada. But when it's about pulling a stupid runaway move, it's down south. Stop sending your stupid and your criminals to my country, America! And then you wonder why so many Mexicans are desperate to cross the border...
6) "Stick to English, kid. The American accent is killing me." ...omg I ♥ you so much, random cop!
7) Can two 16-year-olds even cross the border without being accompanied by or having written (and possibly notarized) permission from their legal guardians? Or is 16 the cut-off?
8) Why didn't the chick get a phonecall? It's a day later and she hasn't been allowed to call her folks?
9) I am sick and tired of Mexico always being filmed as dirty and run-down. Sick and mother-lovin' tired.
10) Woah... John, that was some heavy-duty smackin'. How's the girl**** feel about it?
11) Okay, that was pointless. Sarah, your hands are tied and you've just rolled off a moving vehicle. Unlike trains, the car can actually stop and Cromartie can - omg! - actually get out and drag your ass into the trunk. Which he's doing. So there.
12) James Ellison, you are made of win and awesome.
13) I'm getting tired of the Brmmmmaaaaaaum chukchukchuk "Here thar be Terminators!" music.
14) I sure hope you've got your tetanus shot, Sarah. Just how the hell you managed to mangle the coke can so much is beyond me.
15) Cameron's "I can't let anything happen to him," sounded a little too normal. Is our little tin girl getting more squishy-fleshy as the days go by?
16) If they're machines, shouldn't they be able to run fast? Like, faster than folk, maybe fast as a slow car? Come on.
17) ...omg. Tell me this whole Day of the Dead shoot-out with lonely guitar was a call-out to Once Upon a Time in Mexico and I'll forgive you the stereotypes.
18) Machine shoot-out with arms outstretched in front of Christ-onna-cross... Nice.
19) Oh Christ, there's so much more Mexican music out there than that! Pick something less shitty!
20) Salt and burn! No, wait, wrong show. Thermite and burn!
21) Oh wow. That's... With one hug Sarah's turned from Ass-Kicking Connor to Mom Scared Shitless For Her Son. Thought I'd never see the day Sarah would seem fragile. (Also, boy's tall.
22) The Cameron & John bedroom scene? Fodder for so much fic it's insane. I can just see the explosion on the interwebs.
23) Derek, remember when you were cool? Get back to that, please. Drop the Random Chick and get your ass back on the show. You've too peripheral a role now.
In other news, I need 1) an SPN icon, 2) to transfer icons to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sickle_icons, and 3) start up amboseli.
