Ambrosia's Episode Thoughts
Crazy

Why would there be a ‘piece’ of Gar so far away from where everyone else was?? How did JAROD get out and not Gar, he was closer to the blow and would have a much smaller chance of surviving (apart from the fact that he is THE Pretender) while Gar was at the very back of the crowd - for that matter how is that walking dead Raines getting into SL27? - and very much protected by the many people in ahead of him. How did GAR die, but not Raines? And why didn’t that oxygen tank not blow up? and if it did, then why didn’t it blow Raines up and if it did, WHY ISN’T HE DEAD??? I just don’t understand this, Raines was set alight and nearly killed by a single Sydney provided bullet, yet a bomb, that killed a perfectly healthy sweeper, blinded a Sydney, and gave the rest of the cast a little array of cuts and bruises, does nothing but put him into a wheel chair. I think we’re going to find out that Mr Raines is the Bionic man!!
Ok, I think my rant is over, now for a few observations, Angelo desperately needs a hair cut, it’s beginning to look as though small jungle animals could be hiding in there.
I loved how Miss Parker looked almost hopeful that she might be taken off the hunt for Jarod, but at the same time she looked WAY POed that the Tower/Triumvirate had sent someone to help her.
And she’s got great shoes this episode, I love this season’s hair style, but this episode’s looked kinda blah.
MTW/Jarod - looked incredibly sexy when he did that little nod/smile/I know something look!!
Lyle gave Parker that little ‘check you out’ up and down look <shudder> and gave her the tissue like he knew she wanted his blood.
I nearly fell of the bed when Miss Parker said sorry once, but TWICE in one episode I thought I was dreaming!
I would have thought that Jarod would have drawn better pictures of Miss P, Lyle and The Centre - yes I know that he didn’t actually draw them but you know what I mean - he’s supposed to be a genius, perfect in everyway, and the pic that young Jarod drew of his mother was much better, than the present day Jarod’s attempt.

Favourite Scene = When Jarod hugged the asylum worker and stole his keys and phone.
Jarod - Thank you for caring!
Worker - Give them back.

Cree, craw, toads foot. Geese walk bare foot.

 

Hope and Prey

I thought the Jarod part of this episode sucked, he seems to fall for every woman he pretends with. Though I’m not complaining about how he looked.
Ryan Mirriman is getting cuter and cuter and is well on his way to being hot, I mean, really, I’ve never seen an actor look better in black and white.
Miss Parker was fantastic, and the interaction with Broots was priceless and I desperately want to see more of this type of story line.
Jarod said he works better under pressure and thus said that he relies on The Centre to push him to do his best. Was he eating red licorich?
Last episode she apologised - something that to my knowledge she’s never done (on screen of course) - and this episode she’s thanking someone - sincerely!

Favourite Scene = When Sydney told Miss Parker that she was worth seeing.
Sydney - You’re blury, but you’re there.

 

Once in a Blue Moon

 

Someone to Trust

I really had very mixed feelings about this episode after reading the spoilers about it, but really, nothing can prepare you for this kinda thing!
Firstly, as much as I really - REALY - like seeing Jarod/MTW topless… I really don’t like seeing half naked, scheming bitches running into his arms unless their initials are MP!
*huffs* I did not enjoy watching the kiss! And although this show shows any form of affection about as often as Gabrielle gets a boyfriend who lives for more than a week, and the kiss was really well acted etc. I still didn’t like it and it made Jarod, our normally alert genius, look like a dope!
Admittedly I probably wouldn’t have minded the scene so much if the woman on the other end of that kiss wasn’t the evil bitch from Romey and Michelle’s High School Reunion.
The reunited hug was really cute - don’t get me wrong, I hated it, but it was cute - and the adorable guilty step back was just enough to make someone melt.
Every time Jarod opens his heart he gets hurt and betrayed, but he still does it, he hasn’t closed off like MP.
Was a great evil Jarod pay back sting, he looked very sexy when he was all dark etc. and then I just wanted to hug him when he was all hurt and sad at being tricked and used.
But on a brighter side of an episode I generally didn’t like, I LOVE the way the costume department dress Miss Parker! I would give almost anything to look that good in a skin tight mini skirt! Unfortunately no one has come to me with an offer to help me with that, so I’m forced to mimic some of the more socially (I’m from a small town where new hair cuts shock people) acceptable pieces she wears, than attempt to blend them into everyday wear.
And amazingly some of the gorgeous bits and pieces that our Miss P wears have made it to Aussie-Land. Sports Girl stores sell the long fitted jackets, the fitted shirts, dress pants and the slitted skirts of various lengths in the winter greys, charcoals and maroons that if I had to money to buy, I’d have a wardrobe full of.
Miss Parker’s dress at the end was beautiful, the best of the little black dresses, and like I said before I’d give almost anything to look that good.

Favourite Scene = The end when Jarod was handing Kristy over to the cops and he was looking all hurt
Kristy - It was never personal.
Jarod - Oh you’re wrong, it was very personal.

 

Betrayal

I LOVED this episode.
Broots was WAY sexy wen he was speaking French!
One little continuance mistake at the start of the episode: Broots took both Pop Tarts out of the toaster, but when Miss P came and said "Pop Tarts?" there was one in the toaster.
Is there an ad for Pop Tarts that mentions the "Eleven essential vitamins and minerals" that I’ve never seen or was Jarod spying on Broots that morning, he said the exact thing to Broots as he said to Miss Parker:
Miss Parker/Broots - Pop Tarts?
Broots/Jarod - They have eleven essential vitamins and minerals.
I WISH I could get my hair to go like Andrea Parker’s!
Broots was so cute and confident at the Data Annex, absolutely adorable: "That is a nice shirt", "I’m going to see a man about a horse". And, they (the Centre Annex people) called him MISTER Broots, so did the tech guys at The Centre
I’m not sure if I read too many spoilers before I saw the episodes or if the Jarod parts of the episodes really are getting boring and predictable.
"She doesn’t have it in her heart, or in her eyes" well, well, well, how would Jarod know what was going on in Miss P’s eyes, unless of course he was talking about young Miss P, but really!!
I have to agree with a comment I read, the ‘patch Jarod up after he gets shot’ scene really was kinda slash worthy.
Small as it was there was a huge clue to Sydney’s past - forgive me if this was already clear, I missed most of the early episodes - when he said "If you save but one life, you save the whole world". It was a Jewish quote used in the film Shindler’s List when the war had ended and the Jews were safe to go, they gave Shindler a ring and told him that there is a saying "If you save but one life…" - I know it’s a film, and I know Syd’s well travelled he could of heard it anywhere, but we also know he was in a labor camp in the second world war and we know he got out of it. So, my point is… actually I don’t think I have one anymore, but I know I did to begin with. Well now I have a new theory on Syd (and Jacob), perhaps he was saved/recruited by The Centre from the camp, or maybe he was ‘bought’ by The Centre from the Nazis for their own research . . .

Favourite Scene = At the end when Broots and Debbie were reunited and Miss Parker looked at them like she wanted to join in.

 

Parole

I’ve found that I can enjoy this season’s episodes much more if I pretend that they’re fan fics. Though the Jarod part of the ep was annoying to say the least, and the Centre was hardly shown, the Sydney/Michelle/Nicholas/George bit was just fan-bloody-tastic! I think I may have over used the phrase "My god that man is sexy!" sometime during this episode. I don’t care how young I am and how ‘old’ he is, Patrick Bauchau really is SEXY!!

Favourite Scene = At the end when Syndey fixed Jarod's tie - we all know Jarod loosened it so he could fix it!!
Sydney - Didn't I teach you how to tie your tie?
Jarod - Yes, you did.
