You know, this show shows so many freaking Previouslies, it's unreal. Somebody keep the editors away from the past episodes.

Shawn looks amazing in purple. I'm just saying.

"Pure of purpose"? I can't decide if Jordan is optimistic or a fucking psychotic.

Oh, Lilly is so dreaming. Although that was a very pretty dream.

Awwww. I love Richard.

Uh-oh. Okay, what'd she do? (Or not do, I suppose.)

How could Shawn leave for a year? Because you all treated him like an asshole, Mom.

HEE. Watching Shawn pull rank is kind of fun.

Oh, lovely. Leaving Maia with April? Why do I get a bad feeling about that?

Wow. Those kids talking about what she did for them were awesome. Although that snotty little bastard needs a smack upside the head. (Of course, he'll probably turn out to be the fiftieth President or something.)

AWWWWWWWW. Isabelle = still the cutest baby on the planet, with those big round cheeks and pretty brown eyes. *flails*

No! Lily, come back! ACK.

In an unrelated story, I still watch the Fantastic Four spots and like them, but that's because when we say, "It could be a LOT worse," with that movie, we know it.

OH, GOD. My new kink is Shawn in a turtleneck. GUH. *lovingly nuzzles his neck*

Aw. Poor Lily. Although I'll give Brian credit for starting to redeem himself.

WOW. That violin story is so freaking cool.

You know, I don't like Jordan, but he's got a damn good point about not telling anyone. It's good to be able to do it, but he really can't heal everybody, whether he wants to or not.

Okay, Guitar-Playing Chick is seriously growing on me.

Jesus, did I miss something? Was Danny the one in the coma, 'cause he's displaying some serious brain damage.

... aaaaaaaaaaaaand more missing time for Kyle. Please tell me he beat the crap out of Danny when blacked out.

ACK. JORDAN. RUN AWAY, RICHARD, QUICK LIKE A BUNNY.

Awwwww. Shawn's got a cruuuuuuuush.

"Walk on water"? If that's some weird messianic -- ooo! Ooo! He's cuddling with cute guitar girl!

Go with him, cute guitar girl! No, don't be mean to Shawn! I don't care if he can be a big dope!

Okay, snotty little bastard's father needs to be eaten by dinosaurs.

You know, the fact that Kyle's disappearing from one place and reappearing in another makes me wonder if maybe the Powers That Will Be aren't borrowing him again somehow.

Oh, Jordan didn't change shit. Five minutes after Richard and Lily left, Jordan was muttering about taking that baby. Bitch, please. (And this "If Isabelle accepts me" garbage creeps me out, because you sooooo know Isabelle won't do a damn thing when Jordan touches her.)

Aw, leave nice teacher lady alone!

ACK. GUN. Little Bastard, put it down! *covers eyes*

OOOOOOOOOO. Okay, I think I love this kid all of a sudden.

Oh, no, he's going to shoot her! *covers eyes*

Still hasn't shot her ... *eyes still covered*

No shooting then? Thank God!

ACK. OH, NO, CUTE GUITAR GIRL!

Sheesh. Somewhere between Jordan and this guy, when the hell did it get so hard to heal people for Shawn?

HA. I have to love the look on Isabelle's face when she first looked at Jordan, and then that ADORABLE smile afterwards. WHEEEEEE.

In two weeks: Somebody DIES! Mwahahahahaha!

I think art teacher lady helps people reach their potential, or otherwise get a grip on artistic abilities, or.. something. The kid with the comic book just didn't seem interested in even trying. Give it half an episode, he'll probably have *somethin'*.

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

Ooh, bitter snarky homeless people.

And the guy who says the baby found him wanting [I don't like him, I can never remember his name]. Isabel has spoken.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seriously. Those parents were just all kinds of cuddly, weren't they? *eye roll*

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

"SHE'S A MUTIE OMG WTF"

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

*snerk* I like her, though, which is sad because we're sooooo never seeing her again after tonight.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

I know! I'd have KILLED for an art teacher like that.

Oh, I got fire, baby. Fire ta SPARE.

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

I like her too, and it's sad to see that reaction.

[doqz.livejournal.com]

Considering the diet guy and how his episode turned out, I;d say there's ground for concern over unintended consequences. Not to mention the question of ethics of changing people (minors no less) 'for their own good.'

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Speaking of unintended consequences... ohhhhh noooooo.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I think that's what bothers me most about the Powers That Will Be. They may have had good intentions, but a lot of what they do involves the loss of the few to save the many, which might be beneficial on a global scale but is questionably ethical on a personal scale.

Of course, on the other hand, we may think we know what the end result is going to be, but we really don't. All of this could be leading somewhere really incredible, but until then, the whole thing is squicky.

Most of the problem with this power, though, seems to be not the changing of the kids (who seem to love having this new ability and purpose), but the kids who aren't getting changed.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

It's the same reason Jordan's so adamant Shawn not reveal his healing ability - if word gets out you do it for one, you have to do it for all, or you windup with an oily-haired kid waving a pistol in your face.

[doqz.livejournal.com]

(who seem to love having this new ability and purpose)

See that's the part that bothers me. The procession of kids proclaiming their love for their newfound talent and of the person that gave it to them squicked the hell out of me. It seemed like a weird mirror of Jordan's brainwashed secretary. The joke, for example, who suddenly woke up to his potential. how much of that was 'waking' and how much of that was 'convincing'?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Exactly. The thing is, you know just as well as I do that the Powers That Will Be plan out the gun-waving oily-haired spazzes along with the sculptors, artists, and violin players. Something has got to be up with that kid, aside from a distinct lack of self-esteem.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

I'm still artgeeking about the girl talking about the clay. About how she saw the form that needed to be created and just whittled away the stuff that didn't need to be there. Sound familiar? *geekgeekgeek*

The oily kid's probably going to have a reconciliation with his dad and wind up founding a school or something. There's something in store for him, too, it just isn't in a museum or opera house.

[bailunrui.livejournal.com]

So... where can I find a Ms. Tobey, then? *waits to develop amazing genius artistic talent*

WHERE WAS MARCO? I must now write babysitter!Marco stories. Yes. Screw Aunt April! Not literally! *washes brain with bleach*

I so do not like where this Jordan/Richard/Lily/Isabelle thing is going...

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I know! Somebody get Marco, damn it! Why couldn't he come along for another road trip? He's fun on a road trip! :(

And the whole Jordan/Lily/Richard/Isabelle thing is freaking me out, mostly because I read a spoiler that just ... well, makes me wonder where the hell they're going with this in a very spazzy way.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Oooo! Share! Link! I miss the show half the time, I need spoilers so I don't miss anything! *makes puppy eyes*

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

It sounded very familiar. But I don't know from where.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Michelangelo said very similar, about his sculpting. (not the turtle, he just sculpted pizza)

A quick Google quotes him as saying, "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free."

I love my geekery.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

That's the downside, 'cause I kind of can't link to it. I found the spoilers earlier in the season and when I went back to the site that had them, they ... well, didn't anymore. And I can't find any site that has spoilers for any further than the very next episode anymore. *seethes*

I do know who dies and who kills them, though.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Ooo. That's a great quote.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Awww. Spoilers ran away. I shall just have to irritate the boyfriend with speculation 'til the episode, then. XD

You should taunt people with this. Be all creepy and Maia-y. I would support this.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

I love old artist quotes. Old quotes in general, really. People used to have such a way with words! And then MTV and FOX happened, or all the ill effects of the 70s kicked in, or something. *sulk*

I don't even remember where I first heard that. I want to attribute it to my dad, as he used to be an art professor and did my homeschooling stuff, but I think I head it before then. Agh, gonna drive me bonkers now!

[ladynaberrie.livejournal.com]

*puts a twenty on the table* Jordan's goose is cooked*

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

I want to agree, but that seems like such a red herring. *flails*

[bailunrui.livejournal.com]

So, um, I wrote the babysitter!Marco, here. I am simultaneously ashamed and proud of myself.

[ladynaberrie.livejournal.com]

i'm leaving my twenty on the table. Him leaving everything to Shawn is the equivlant of painting a target sign on himself.

[misachan.livejournal.com]

I'm actually giving Jordan the benefit of the doubt, if only because it adds more layers to his character if he really believes this craziness.

I can't believe I'm actually worried about Jordan. I tell myself it's not so much for his sake as I don't want Shawn to go through that.
