We open outside a hospital at night. Two doctors walk out discussing their plans for the night, and how one has to start work stupidly early the next day. They go their separate ways, and we follow one to his car. He puts a bag into the boot and promptly gets shoved in there after it. He bangs on the closed lid. Cut to him staggering into an emergency room, holding his stomach. A nurse walks up and kindly says that he can move his hands because there's nothing she hasn't seen before. She pulls his hands away, and his intestines fall out onto the floor. She screams.
We open on a guy with terrible bleached blond hair running through a quarry or gravel yard or some shit. IDK. He ends up by an industrial looking building, and stops when he sees the TARDIS. He walks slowly towards it, and music gets all floaty vocals and spookiness. He touches the TARDIS, then Rose yells out for the Doctor from somewhere off screen. Bad Hair Guy runs towards it. He ends up in a factory. Rose and the Doctor, both still off screen, yell at each other about where "he" has gone. Bad Hair Guy finds himself in a corridor with lots of doorways off it. There's a pig-like grunting noise from somewhere, and he cautiously walks down the corridor. He pulls open a door and finds himself face to face with a giant spitty alien.
Hey, this is a thing we are still doing. And since new episodes are still airing we figured we'd actually try and finish off this season. Cool.
Alex: It's my fault that this is going out so very late. SORRY, guys (but not really because I hate this show and feel entirely justified in putting it off as long as possible).
Mari: Fair.

I really wanted to pretend that I have totally been keeping up with the show since recapping The Telanovela, but there is literally nothing happening before my mind is already blown. It wasn't THAT long ago that Kirsten was bragging about her specialty of taking food out of take out containers and now she's apparently cooked a full gourmet breakfast!? Was the drinking really that bad?
Wait, Seth and Ryan are looking very confused by this exuberant breakfast before school (they're all still so awake in the morning, it's weird) so it must not be a regular thing. In typical teenage-boy fashion, they just want their cereal and bagels.

Last week Wednesday, this here blog turned four years old! It's crazy to think about how much has changed in those four years, not only on the blog, but in each of our personal lives. I'm not going to get sentimental; I just thought I'd mention that bit.
Lots has changed and these past six months have been a bit of a struggle for us as we try to keep up with the million and one projects we thought we could handle. However, there is always time to stop and celebrate. We asked what five fictional characters you would invite to a party and mostly everyone was like, "lol. We don't party."

First of all, thanks to the Snark Ladies for adding me to the Orphan Black recapping team. I started watching this show since you recommended it and am now thoroughly pulled in. Also, I am soooo excited for this episode. I've been watching the trailer and I'm curious to see how much having the male clones in the mix will change the game and change the consequences of the world.
Ok. Deep breath. Here we go.

We open at a big house on a rainy night. Inside, a middle aged guy paces back and forth, and jumps when the phone rings. The caller ID reads "SHA33". He answers, and tells the woman, Linda, on the end to stop calling. She begs him to "come to me". He hangs up on her. The phone starts ringing again. He answers and tells Linda to leave him alone. Linda says that they could be happy together and that she loves him forever. Ben hangs up. When the phone rings again, he picks up the receiver and slams it down several times, then rips the phone out of the wall and throws it across the room.
P^3. Piper is behind the bar chopping up some kind of fruit I can't identify because I only eat cake and potato chips. (M: I'm eating potato chips as I comment. High five!) Phoebe shows up clad in pink fuzz, all excited because she's just enrolled in college. This show doesn't have enough boring side plots, so here's another one. Phoebe needs some help narrowing down which classes to take, but Piper coughs her way out of that boring task. She's been too busy doing things for P^3 to take care of herself, but she thinks the cough is probably nothing, which means it's definitely something really bad. Phoebe starts helping with the fruit cutting and she's as baffled as I am about what that thing is. Piper explains that it's a kiwano melon that she had smuggled in from space South America.
As is our yearly tradition, Sweeney and I were in California this past weekend. (I could clarify that it's her yearly tradition and I'm kind of the weird Internet friend that tags along, but this is my blog and I like to let myself look cool on it.)
Point is that this wrap-up is a wee bit late and for that I apologize. However, the videos are fantastic and there were plenty of sibling feels (and even some only-child feels...!) going around so check out last week's Segue Magic:

We had such a lovely time last episode, I'm feeling all giddy about this recap! Shoutout to the, um, science side of that recap (basically Mairead...) for the insight into black holes. (K: SERIOUSLY. I may be shitty at replying to comments, but those comments were the freaking bomb.) Now, let's all watch as the show ignores all that science and gets to the FEELS shall we?
Oh, we cut from really extensive previouslies to the credits:

We open on two nerdy guys sitting in armchairs, and talking directly to the camera. Kind of like Andrew did in Storyteller, except without the word "vampyres." (M: That basically changes everything.) (K: TRUE.) It's Ed and Harry from season 1's Hell House. They talk about how this is an unsolicited pilot intended for the hands of a network executive who's been struck by the writer's strike and is looking for alternative content.
Aaaah, yes. The writer's strike of 2008. That was a dark time. At least it gave us Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog?

So, I watched this episode like two weeks ago and then promptly laughed at Stephanie because she had the baby episode of Charmed. Shortly after that she was all, "I'm sooooo busy. Maybe you should take the next episode."
That's not exactly what happened but it doesn't matter because: baby episode.
Stephanie: Baby episodes are the worst, but I'm sure there's another episode riddled with dumb gender stereotypes waiting for me and the balance will be restored. Then again, I already covered the episode where Prue became a Bro.

Hello friends! So, a couple of things happened recently:
- Easter!
- We opened Segue Magic up into a link-up style prompt for those who would be interested in responding to our prompts! Here's how it's going to work:
1. We will announce the month's topics here on this website and also over on the Goodreads group we created. And probably also on Tumblr. We want everyone to do these so we'll just about post them everywhere. Follow along in your preferred method!

The happiest two seconds of the entire series happen when an EMT says Ezra's pulse is getting weaker. The only one who is sad about this is Aria. Her friends hold her back and tell her she shouldn't go with Ezra to the hospital because then the pesky cops will start asking her questions. Apparently, no one from the NYPD notices Aria hyperventilating after Ezra; they are busy questioning Noel Khan. Alison is on a fire escape, watching the ambulance ride by. A is-- TRUE STORY-- riding on the top of the ambulance like some kind of extra-deranged Spider-Man. I hate this show.
The TARDIS vworp vworps its way into a spaceship-y looking storage room. It sounds decidedly unwell. The Doctor and Rose walk out the door, and he makes worried sounds while stroking the TARDIS. Rose says if he's worried, they can leave and go somewhere else, and they both fall about laughing.
Marines: Those crazy kids and their lack of self-preservation! But seriously, watching them laugh in those last two gifs is everything.
K: LITERALLY EVERYTHING.
