Our (IM) Take on The BATG Premiere
Sarah and I love how it's our job to discuss shows like Beauty and The Geek at length. How lucky are we? We get to debate the exact geekiness level of the new geeky gal (in Sarah's opinion, not at all geeky enough), predict who'll hook up, and analyze Three Six Mafia's ambiguous expressions at geek rap night. Here's our take on last week's Beauty and the Geek premiere -- feel free to chime in with your own thoughts in the comments.
Jackie: what'd you think of BATG?
Jackie: it was fun to see Nate and Jennylee
Jackie: actually made me miss season three
Sarah: Heh. Yeah, a little
Jackie: but it always takes me awhile to warm up to the characters
Sarah: Right
Jackie: I like Hollie and Luke
Sarah: Yeah, me too
Jackie: they're totally going to hook up
Jackie: Joshua is pretty painfully awkward, and Jasmine is awful
Sarah: and she was the one that was actually kind of smart
Jackie: right
Sarah: but I still hate Jasmine's partner for being a condescending ass
Jackie: which one is he?
Sarah: the Larper, I think
Jackie: ohhh
Sarah: David
Sarah: I was torn between being amused and appalled when all the beauties would coo and say "awwwww!" when one of the uber-geeky people would come in -- Joshua, for example. They were like "oh, a cute little baby animal!"
Jackie: I KNOW
Sarah: And some of those women are going to have SERIOUS back problems
Jackie: haha
Jackie: totally.
Jackie: this show...
Jackie: did you see the previews? 3 6 Mafia!?!?
Sarah: Yeah, I think. There was strutting on stage, right?
Jackie: how far they've fallen since their Oscar.
Sarah: oh, they looked APPALLED
Jackie: teaching geeks to rap
Jackie: they did.
Jackie: but
Jackie: they still showed up.
Sarah: True
Sarah: Hey, I'm sure they got paid
Jackie: true.
Jackie: also, what's with the scorpions and snakes?
Jackie: it's not Fear Factor, guys.
Jackie: oh, and what'd you think of the guy beauty/girl geek?
Sarah: Too soon to tell
Jackie: the previews made it look like they're alienated
Jackie: especially the girl
Sarah: Although -- she was supposed to be a geek? Because she wore socks with her clogs?
Sarah: that's IT?
Jackie: you didn't think she was geeky-looking?
Jackie: her outfit, hair and glasses... even her posture was geeky!
Sarah: Oh, hell no == that was nowhere NEAR geeky
Jackie: no?
Sarah: I know GEEKS
Jackie: I thought she looked pretty awkward!
Sarah: I know women who are just as geeky as the men on that show
Jackie: but how do you know she isn't?
Jackie: she hasn't said a word yet
Jackie: she could be WORSE than the guys once she opens her mouth!
Sarah: I mean, women who would be in computer code or gamer t-shirts, wearing unwashed clothing, having seriously unfortunately haircuts, looking like.. well, a geek
Sarah: She just looked more fully dressed and less augmented than the geeks
Jackie: but I mean, in my world, Luke's not a geek, either
Sarah: Heh
Jackie: as for the girl, she's just... not stylishly dressed
Jackie: not into fashion
Sarah: No, not stylish, but not hopelessly out of fashion
Sarah: She's not half geeky enough, as far as I'm concerned
