Clipped

“A Blessing and a Curse”

Director: Kevin Bray

DoP: Bryce Fortner

[silavut]

Just saw a tie-dyeing video and it just reminded me of one of my favorite clips from the original Animaniacs. This is from S01E02, Cookies for Einstein, where they try to sell Einstein some cookies.

GIFs (X-Men ‘97 S01E02, "Mutant Liberation Begins")

Notes:

Didn't have much to clip for GIFs this time. More of a video episode for me (see previous post). Magneto wins for stealing every scene. Rogueneto shippers win for the obvious. Storm gets an honorary mention for being the badass of the episode and taking charge. Cyclops hasn't annoyed me as much in this episode, so one of his amusing bits made it in.

Damn, Magneto has good hair.

so .. was anyone gonna tell me the Williams Fam was on Family Feud?

EDIT : THIS EPISODE HAS BEEN FOUND !!!

link <3

I came across this image last night and found out that Paul, Maria, Guy, and Gary were on Celebrity Family Feud NZ on Jan 30th 2017. After some digging I found out that the exact episode was S01E02 but I can't find the episode anywhere. I can't even find a clip from the episode but I am so desperate to find it.

So I'm putting out a bounty! If anyone find this full episode online anywhere, I will deadass give you $20. I need to see them feud so bad.

What I've found so far, under the cut:

So the show seems to be Celebrity Family Feud NZ, but it seems there was also a show called All Stars Family Feud NZ? Which may or may not have been the same thing

It was them vs Tammy Davis + family.

I found an ad that shows like 1 frame of the Williams family

It looks like it used to be viewable on demand on ThreeNow, but Family Feud is no longer listed on the streaming service anywhere

Guy Williams was on another episode of Family Feud (was either Celebrity or All Stars, hard to tell) with Jono and Ben

I LOVE THIS CLIP SO MUCH... they are so so silly

Clerks #2: "The Clipshow Wherein Dante and Randal are Locked in the Freezer and Remember Some of the Great Moments in Their Lives" | June 7, 2000 | S01E02

This one starts out with a very funny gimmick. I say "starts out", notably, because it's usually my instinct to do what the episode does, and pretend as if it's going to sustain this gimmick for it's entire thirty minutes. It doesn't! The gimmick is this: Dante and Randal get stuck in the freezer at work, and one of them mentions how their predicament is like a premise for a clip show. They then actually begin reminiscing about past events in their lives, ACTUALLY turning this episode into a clip show. Trouble is they find themselves unable to remember anything beyond the previous week. That's because this is only the second episode, and they only have one other episode to flashback to.

Back when the show was new and I felt the need to sell it to people, I would always indulge in describing this episode exactly in that way: A second episode clip show where they only flash back to episode one. Technically, that's true, I guess. But the episode effectively drops this premise and flashes back to previous, newly animated moments in Dante and Randal's lives. The first non-episode one "clip" they flash back to occurs at 4 minutes and 22 seconds in, which is when they effectively drop this premise. To put things even further into perspective: Randal finishes delivering his line about how "if this were a sitcom" at 2 minutes 48 seconds. That means that the episode truly only runs with this premise for 94 seconds! There's at least one instance of callback after that, possibly two (I don't feel like rewatching the entire thing, sorry).

It still makes for a really funny episode. They refer to various things like their participating in the MTV's The Real World, Randal ordering a mail order bride but ordering a strict Japanese mail-order HUSBAND instead, the first times they met (once as children in the 70s and once as young adults in the 80s, each flashback beginning with a very funny gag where the then-current president is seen walking past during the establishing shot) and movie fans are tossed a bone with various flashbacks of Caitlin Bree cheating on Dante with house painters. They even flash back to earlier in the episode, but with Randal's inaccurate and self-aggrandizing version of the events. This is the start of a recurring joke in the series where he envisions Dante as a dunce-cap wearing simpleton wearing a diaper.

They eventually escape, only to get locked in RST Video, where Randal suggests they watch Flintstones List, a combination of the Spielberg-produced Flintstones movie and his own Schindler's List. It's one of the funniest jokes of the series, and it was cut from television for being too tasteless. I think the part where Randal suggests they watch it was left in, but they cut out the clip from the movie. At one point I had the episodes taped from ABC, but I don't think I hung onto them after the DVD came out. I also probably cut out the commercials immediately after taping them. Sorry, everyone. If I knew then what I know now...

Speaking of them airing on television: ABC made the odd choice to air episode four, the courtroom episode, first, and then air THIS episode, which heavily references an episode that hadn't aired. What a bunch of jerks!

S01E02 Who Goes Where?

On to episode 2! A Radu-centric episode that I love, but feels a little weird as a second episode? Everybody seems pretty chill about being on a new ship with a 7 year journey ahead of them. But, I know these episodes were filmed out of order with the network wanting to be able to run them in whatever order they pleased.

Trivia and behind the scenes info for this episode can be found on spacecasetv.com.

Link to the ep on youtube and my thoughts below the cut.

RADU get back in the ship you CRIMINAL.

The theme song rocks. This particular ep has the second version of the season 1 theme, but clips of Suzee from season 2. Why????

Radu's "I heard that! I heard that, too!" is so fucking done. I love him.

Ahhh this is the Saturn Rejoicing Festival episode! Catalina's outfits! (Did the Christa just have these for her??). And where we get "Zabagabe!" - the rallying cry of Casers everywhere!

Hmm, yeah, this definitely feels out of order and like they've been on the ship longer than a second episode would warrant. Harlan and Goddard talking about "weird" Andromedan biology and Radu having previously vented steam from his ears. It's cute though! I love when we get to learn about the Andromedans.

Thelma: His temperature is 35 degrees Celsius. Low, even for Andromedans. Oh, and his barometric pressure is dropping. I think he's going to snow.

Why does this alien ship have books from Earth on it??

I like to woobify Radu as much as the next Caser but he is a MENACE. "I was just trying to be a tough guy...like you." Manipulate mansplain manwhore

Davenport and Goddard are such good teachers. And Goddard trying to help Harlan work on his relationship with Radu? A+

BUT THEN

Davenport: Radu did this? I can't believe it. It makes no sense!

Goddard: Believe me, Ms. Davenport, I fought Andromedans during the war. With their strength and endurance, they don't have to make sense to be deadly.

Davenport: It's a good thing Harlan isn't hearing you spout such rubbish. What with the bad blood already between him and Radu.

Goddard: This isn't about people's feelings, Ms. Davenport. It's about survival. If Radu's turned against us for some reason, the blood's going to be a lot worse than bad.

What an interesting scene! Clearly Goddard still has prejudices from the war. They're talking about one student, a child, and they still have no clue yet that he's being infected by an alien disease. And yet Goddard is looking at this situation like a soldier going up against the enemy.

I'm also super interested in just how the Spung-Andromedan war was fought. It's a space-based war, but fears about the Andromedans' physical abilities makes it seem like there were face to face engagements. Boarding parties? Is that how Harlan's father was killed? And we learn in later episodes that very few people ever saw a Spung killcruiser and lived to tell about it, so what were the Spung doing?

The darker pink around Rosie's eyes is very cute.

OK, you know I love the Harlan/Radu fight. The airlock scene. I am LIVING.

Also, Harlan's "I'll get you for this" as he about to be blasted out of the airlock. Like, bby, u say the dumbest things sometimes.

The dance at the end! Loving that for Davenport/Goddard shippers.

Another episode, another banger. Lot of Radu, and we learn a some interesting things about Andromedans, Saturnians, and Mercurians all in one ep.

Thanks for reading! Drop me a reply or an Ask if you want to talk Space Cases! Ep 3 coming soon.

Xavier: Renegade Angel #2: “Chief Beef Loco” | November 12, 2007 - 12:00AM | S01E02

Point of fact: I have never seen this episode until tonight. Despite owning the DVD, and despite having watched, I think, every other episode of the series, I have never actually seen this one except for a brief clip somebody posted once (the scene where the gang members are talking about their feelings) and a screengrab of the confederate flag at half mast. 

In this episode, Xavier helps out a dying mosquito, who repays him by laying its eggs inside of Xavier’s cranium. After that, he helps out a young boy who was beaten by the Los Locos, a scary Mexican gang whose insignia triggers a traumatic memory in Xavier’s over-active psyche. His shaman from childhood had died at the hands of some murderous scoundrels who carved the very same insignia into his chest. Actually, what really happens is that the shaman pointed and said “look over there!” and carved it himself and played dead to be rid of Xavier and send him on the wild goose chase he is currently on. 

Percy had his mascot costume smashed up by Los Locos and Xavier shows up to save the day with some helpful breathing exercises. He also helps Percy with a duplicitous ruse by using his own god-given form to pretend to be Percy in costume as the new sports mascot. He does such a good job jumping around (using poorly composited video of Mary Lou Retton, I’m assuming) that the other team forfeits and Xavier gains the respect of the Los Locos. 

On the inside, Xavier uses his wiles to further ingratiate himself into the gang and eventually take over. He fakes the murder of a pizza delivery guy, gets them to open up about their feelings, and convinces them to go straight. This creates problems by way of a botched drug deal running afoul of this episode's main boss fight: the shiny man. He is one shiny guy.

This one is fairly similar to the first episode. Similar jokes, similar absurdist plot. The show’s writing style makes it feel like it isn’t formulaic but it sorta is; most episodes begin with Xavier in the desert wandering into the episode’s plot. There’s usually a flashback involving young Xavier’s path to enlightenment. The main difference between this episode and the first is that there’s a little more screen time dedicated to Xavier’s past. Also, the insignia shown here actually appears throughout the series in different forms. Spot them all! They all mean nothing!

Great jokes: Xavier, masquerading as Percy, manages to win the heart of a special ed boy in the audience, who professes his body and soul to Percy/Xavier. When Xavier tells Percy that he now has a girlfriend, Percy lights up and asks: “really? Is he disabled??”. Also one line from one of the gang members really got me during group therapy: “Rape is not an excuse. It’s a reason. And tonight everything seems so reasonable”. Pretty rude, but he’s right.

Wendigo

Finally finished my Wendigo-pages =) That was a lot to write...

We see it - of course - in S01E02 - Wendigo:

And - surprise, surprise - the left Wendigo-page appears once again. In S01E10 - Asylum it´s beside the Roosevelt Asylum clipping. We don´t want to have it clear, of course (another thank-you to the prop department at this place):

Most of the text I found again on @diy-johns-journal​ and what the screencaps showed. And I verified my pages with the ones from @singersalvageshop​ and @creatingjohnwinchestersjournal​ again.

Left page:

Right page:

Also September 10/16, 1990

Before every paragraph there is a Anasazi symbol. The Anasazi is an indian culture tradition in the US states Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. Today the Anasazi are also called ancestral puebloans or, in the language of the Pueblo-Indians, as Chacoans or Hisatsinom. In the Navajo-language Anasazi means "the old foe" (anaa- = foe, sázi = ancestor), what goes back to an old fight with the Hopi, the westernmost group of the Pueblo-Indians.

Dean drew the symbols above onto the ground around their campsite. John´s journal notes say that a Wendigo can not cross over Anasazi symbols - but there have to be more than one symbol and they have to be drawn in a circle! (from supernatural wiki)

Couldn´t find exact matches to the symbols used in the journal pages. Seems that they were modified a bit again.

The text beside the symbols says:

[pigstepmp3-moved]

the writers really did buck dirty in s01e02

its the post you’ve all been waiting for—my Aggravated Analysis Of Everything That Makes Me Mad about the Therapy Scene tm, now featuring some things that show just how emotionally and mentally fucked buck is. now, i know we All hate that scene with all of our hearts (buck deserves to have a Good experience w therapy for once, but thats just my opinion), but i wanna go into detail about what exactly makes me SEETHE about that scene, complete w gifs and screenshots so i can better explain myself. im putting it all under the cut bc its kind of A Lot, so click that “read more” if you wanna read my angry complaining

alright, lets set the scene (i know we’re all aware of the situation behind this scene, but i think its important to remind you all of it). season one episode two. bucks still very much a Huge horn dog. buck has also very recently suffered his First loss on the job and its taking a huge toll on him. i think what’s most important to talk about before we get to the therapy scene itself is the scene where abby’s watching him on the news with carla.

(not the greatest quality, but that doesnt matter). he very clearly looks uncomfortable just talking about what happened in such a Casual, No Pressure setting. he says, “i was just doing my job. i’m happy we were able to help the people we helped and i’m really sorry about those we couldn’t save.” he stutters a few times as he says it, looks and sounds very uneasy, which seems very out of character for him. he’s usually super confident and chill, but as he’s asked to talk about this (most likely) traumatic thing, he kinda clams up, yknow? theres also something in his voice that reminds me very heavily of the way My voice sounds when Im trying to force back tears, but that might just be The Way He Talks

another thing that he says that really stands out to me (i dont know if this is necessarily important to the topic at hand, but i wanna talk about it so whatever) is, “. . . um, i’m sure they’re just turned on by the uniform. you know, i don’t know if they would feel that way if they saw me out of it.” ignoring the more sexual connotations to what he’s saying there, let’s talk about what he most likely meant by that particular statement. he still sounds a little nervous as he says it and kind of avoids the reporters eyes. it sounds to me like this is a rare moment of buck’s insecurities being let loose. “i don’t know if they would feel that way if they saw me out of it.” this implies, i think, some insecurities about like.. every part of himself. it almost seems like, in this moment, he thinks his only redeeming quality is the uniform. which might actually be what he’s thinking right then, ‘cause he’s still trying to figure out how to cope with his first loss. i think theres some part of him, somewhere behind that overly confident persona, that has a lot more insecurities than he shows, but thats a conversation for another day.

now, let’s move on a little from that. what i think is very important and notable about that scene is some of the things abby says after watching buck on the news. first thing she says that stands out to me is, “i’ve been thinking i might want to call him to see how he is.” she’s worried about him. i think she’s probably been worried about him since the first time he was on the news, earlier that episode. and for good reasons, i think, because later on, she says, “. . . he needs help, you know? i mean, he’s got so much pain in his face. everybody’s treating him like a hero. he doesn’t feel like a hero. as far as he’s concerned, the guy that he was trying to save fell.” like, wow, just tear my heart out and stomp on it a bunch, why dont you? its such a wonderful and apt summary of what buck’s going through. to put it rather simply, he’s fucking distraught, and for good reasons. plus, that quote is one of the Big things that influenced my headcanon of buck having depression, and i could probably analyze every single scene bucks in in this episode that have added onto that head canon of mind bc there are at least a couple different things i could blather on about, but that’s some analysis for another post (if you’re interested in me talking about that tho, definitely feel free to let me know)

now, let’s move on a little further to the Dreaded Scene (i’d totally go into the scene that immediately follows the last one i talked about, where buck and abby are speaking on the phone, but i think i’ve emphasized my point of buck going through some shit in this episode to the point where that isn’t strictly necessary). for the rest of this post, i’m gonna kind of analyze every single little thing that buck does and says in the therapy scene bc pretty much all of it contributes to my burning hatred of that therapist.

like, yeah, no SHIT, honey!! as far as we, the audience, are concerned, this is the First time he’s EVER been to therapy. in my own personal experiences, my first time going to therapy was SO uncomfortable. and just looking at buck right here makes me feel uncomfortable, too—he’s fidgeting with his hands, looks to the side, looks down, looks up at her for a moment before looking away again. this boy looks nervous as hell, and for good reasons. he confirms that he is in fact uncomfortable, and then the therapist says, “well, that’s not unusual. you’ve been through a trauma. that’s why you’re here—to deal with those feelings.” remember that, because i’m not gonna go into the importance of that quote just yet.

the next thing buck says is, “uh, yeah, i’m, uh, i’m not really into feelings.” he kind of avoids looking at the therapist as he says this, though not as much as he did in that last gif. but his voice is like... uncharacteristically quiet as he says it.

more!! avoidance!! he keeps averting his eyes, looking anywhere that ISNT his therapist. and at the end of what he says here, he clenches his jaw a little. a nervous tick, maybe? i don’t know. as he talks here, though, his voice is, yet again, very quiet. he sounds just about broken right here, and it makes my heart ache so bad for him

after a brief break to check out what athena and michael are talking about, his therapist says, "i treat a lot of first responders—people who run toward danger—but maybe there's something you're running from as well? what is it about discussing your feelings that scares you?" the answer buck gives her? a very defensive, “i’m not scared.” if youre not scared, then why are you avoiding talking about your damn feelings like the fucking black plague? and when i say that he says it defensively, i mean, like, way too defensive to Not be suspicious

we don’t get to hear anymore about that particular question because next, we’re checking up on athena and michael again, and then we’re talking about something else. the therapist says, "you lost somebody. that's hard."

as he says this, he sounds fucking SAD. he sounds completely and utterly BROKEN. throughout this whole clip, he sounds entirely broken. the therapist asks if this was his first time. he responds with, "i mean, i've had calls where it was... too late, but, uh, but i've only been doing this not even six months. now, i... i just can't shake the feeling that this one didn't need to go down the way that it did." again, he sounds like he’s hurting really badly. this loss is really taking a huge toll on him and that is Very clear. she then asks him if he thinks there was something he could have differently. he doesnt respond, just looks up at her like this:

his eyes are a little red, and it looks like there are some tears in his eyes. like wow, you could murder me and it would hurt less than seeing buck like this

now, the next snippet is about where everything Starts Going To Shit (this is also the part where i start sobbing like a dumb baby, but thats neither here nor there). 

you see that shit right there?? if you listen hard enough, you can hear my heart breaking into a million pieces. from this point on, buck is CRYING. honest to god fucking CRYING. he looks like he’s hurting so badly, especially at the end of that gif, when he furrows his eyebrows. it looks kind of like he’s trying to keep himself from straight up Sobbing. i’m sure it seems almost like i’m dwelling on this for a little longer than necessary, but i think emphasizing how emotional he is in this part is very important to understand just how much the end of this scene makes me fucking SEETHE. this next little bit is where i start to transition from Sadness to absolute Rage

you see that? this is the start of my slow deterioration into madness. up until this point, everything about this therapy session was completely and entirely professional. but home girl decides, hey, yknow whats a good idea? waltzing my happy ass across the room, sitting down directly in front of my PATIENT, and resting my hand on said PATIENT’s arm. i dunno about you guys, but this seems terrible on so many levels that it isnt funny.

now, yknow what happens next? some classic avoidance from our boy. she calls him mr buckley, so he says, "it's, um... it's actually just buck." (after VERY AUDIBLY SNIFFLING by the way, but i digress). he then deflects even FURTHER by asking her if she friended him on facebook. 

“i thought you looked familiar,” he says. he’s no longer actively crying at this point, but there are most certainly still some tears in his eyes.

now, do you know what happens next, after a brief break to check up on athena and michael? the worst thing that could happen happens! i know it, you know it, little miss unprofessional sleeps with buck! and yknow what she says Immediately afterwards? “i can’t believe i just did that. i am so sorry.” like.... no! saying “sorry” doesnt change the fact that you TOOK ADVANTAGE of someone who is CLEARLY not in the right frame of mind to consent to something like that. yknow what he was doing the last time we saw him? crying. bc hes in a very vulnerable place in this episode. and yeah, sure, i guess you could make the argument that he was seducing her a little, but that doesnt change the fact that this is fucked up. now, side note about me, i’m only in high school and i’ve never had any job before, so i dont quite know the ins and outs of the professional world. but i do know a thing or two about common sense, so its pretty easy for me to assume that shit like this is awful on like a million different levels. i think the power imbalance is super clear to anyone who has any number of brain cells.

now, buck being as emotionally stunted as he is, says that she made him feel better (probably just for a few minutes, but thats neither here nor there). and yknow what she says? “you should go.” remember that quote from earlier? the one that i said was important and that i was going to go into later? “well, that’s not unusual. you’ve been through a trauma. that’s why you’re here—to deal with those feelings.” yknow what buck Didnt do? deal with those feelings. he talked about his feelings for maybe ten minutes, and that’s assuming that, during the cuts to athena and michael, the session was continuing and that it wasnt a matter of like, oh, this stuff is happening At The Same Time.

and all that is just During the session. we dont ever see the aftermath of it, we dont ever see buck talking about that session or anything along those lines. and we most certainly dont see him trying to go talk to a different therapist. the rest of what im going to be talking about this post is purely speculation, but i think its highly probable that this could all be canon. like i just mentioned, as far as we know, buck hasnt gone to another therapist after that shit show. additionally, we can also assume that buck really hasnt talked to like....... anyone about the shit he’s gone through, both past shit and shit that was brought up from this first loss of his. so as far as we’re concerned, he’s never properly worked through it all. he’s also probably never gotten any proper coping mechanisms to deal with any further losses. it seems a little too morbid to think that bucks just gotten used to the feeling that comes with losing someone, so i think its pretty safe to assume that, after every single loss he suffers, he gets like..... super fucked up, purely because he never talked about (a), the reason why hes scared to talk about feelings, or (b), how to deal with said feelings, especially when they’re bad. and thats not fair to him!! that loss clearly took a huge toll on buck, Most of the description of that episode is talking about the roller coaster and bucks feelings, but he never got to heal from it. if buck doesnt get something akin to a redemption arc, where he gets to see a therapist to properly work through all of his issues, i’m going to riot

anyway. thats all i have to say on the matter. i’ve been working on this for most of the day because i have so many thoughts and feelings about the way buck was treated during this episode. i will die mad about it. but i think i’ve said pretty much all i have to say on the topic now, so i hope my frustrated rambling was interesting or whatever to read. so, thanks for reading! ♥
