seriousficPower of the week: Isabelle is now able to enter into people's dreams as long as she has a picture of them. She uses this to watch while another girl gets tentacle-raped. I don't know if that's what my friend meant when she said this episode made her a femslasher.
In the opening, Isabelle's jeep has broken down, so she hitches a ride with Marie. Apparently, she can do anything with her powers except fix a car, because when she gets into Marie's car, she immediately cranks up the wimpy AC and then pumps up the volume via ~molecule manipulation. Marie freaks out before Isabelle can give her xeno-breast-enhancement. I haven't seen an alien with this many powers since Bronze-Age Superman.
Later on, Marie quickly earns my ire by referring to an alien as "Queen Amidala" (uh, hello, Amidala was human? Keep up!) and then later the aliens complain about green people-eating aliens. While that is a pervasive image, it's also something of a dead horse trope. Most aliens portrayed nowadays are benevolent goodie-two-shoes who have to be defended from evil guv'mint types. It's gotten to the point where two of the more recent evil aliens movies were Independence Day, which was deliberately a throwback to 50s sci-fi (apparently they didn't have physics in 50s sci-fi) and The Faculty, which had the characters actually speculate that aliens were trying to fool humanity by making movies about nice aliens. Jonathan Frakes, you're executive producing this shit, I expect you to know more about sci-fi! Next you'll tell me you don't know what the Singularity is!
Isabelle uses her power to go into Marie's dream, which is supposed to be femslashy. All I can think about is how hot it would be if Cara ended up in Kahlan's dreams. Kahlan would dream about Cara (of course) having a tea party with her or snuggling at the ~most romantic waterfalls in the Midlands~ like they were sisters, and Cara would put her hands on her hips and drawl "Does the Seeker know you dream about this, Kahlan?" SEASON THREE!
Julia Benz looks good with glasses and her hair in a bun. The More You Know...
This episode is all about the Marie/Valenti ship. He wants to protect her, tries to get her alone, and she even dreams about him. Sure, it's about how cute she finds his son, but why take the wussy preppy version when you can have the sexy DILF version? Plus, he was the bad guy in Die Hard 2. You're not going to do better, Marie!
