TV: LA Complex SE2 EP10 & 11

LA Complex
Drama


I know, I know; it's almost time for the next episode and I'm reviewing last weeks? Well, you all know how much I love this show, I just can't not review an episode! I've been thinking about this double one ever since as well. Love it!

So Abby (Cassie Steele) and Kal (Andra Fuller) went to see Tariq (Benjamin Charles Watson)! I've been waiting for that all season. I thought they both did really well in that meeting, I was glad and sad at the same time. Kal has changed quite a bit since last season though hasn't he? He's still searching for himself... It's nice that he and Chris (Jarod Joseph), the lawyer, have sorted things out a little, and Dynasty (Dayo Ade) as well. I really like Dynasty.

I hope that this movie Raquel (Jewel Staite), Cam (Kristopher Turner) and Kevin (Jordan Johnson-Hinds) are making turns out awesome and a huge smash and makes all their careers....If they can pull it all together. The one scene they filmed in the bank had me cracking up! Hilariously brilliant! But Raquel skimming cards is not the way to do it! She's going to get caught and go to jail for real this time if she's not careful. It was a bit too close for comfort with that one customer...

How nice was it of Cam to sign Beth (Dayle McLeod) up for the SATs? She actually looked like she was enjoying that exam! We all know she's going to ace them! I really like this guy, glad him and Kevin have a bigger role in this season. They are so cute together - Beth and Cam that is - I swooned a little.

Connor (Jonathan Patirck-Moore) converting to Charlotte's (Tori Anderson) religion...I have nothing against religion but this one is creeping me out a little. Is it even a religion? I noticed that they never mentioned God and I was a tad confused until Eddie (Ennis Esmer) pointed out what it was all about. Connor does need the help though...

Who couldn't see that Sabrina (Georgina Reilly) telling her parents she's a comedian was a bad idea? And now she's moved in with Nick (Joe Dinicol). She was such a bitch to him in this episode, I wanted to slap her silly. He was being so nice and cute and caring! He made her audition work, how good was that? He's a keeper girl! I supposed those demented I Love You's at the end of this ep were sweet....sorta.... meh.

Oh, holy crapola! Beth and Simon's (Michael Levinson) dad! Woah! Luke was watching it with me and he actually thought that Dad was going to take Simon at the theme park. "Oh we're going on the rollercoaster," and then never come back. Close.... I love how the whole complex stood up and stopped him when he tried to take Simon! *huge naww*

Oh yeah... was that Gray (Steve Byers) proposing to Abby?! WTF!

4 out of 5 rollercoasters...
Eddie: "I read in GQ that he gave his last producer a house, as a housewarming gift."

TV: LA Complex SE2 EP4

The LA Complex
Drama


So I'm pretty sure I say this every time I write about this show; I freakin' LOVE this show! I don't know what it is exactly that makes me love it so much, but I do.

Jewel Staite is always so amazing, I love her! Her sulky face and drunken phone calls at the end of this episode is classic. So, I'm a bit confused, did Raquel actually lose the baby in the last episode? It just sort of glossed over it... so confused! She might have now after that car crash and if she hasn't Connor (Jonathan Patrick Moore) is going to find out she's pregnant in the hospital, then what's going to happen?

Speaking of Connor, he is totally going to get busted for setting his house on fire. Maybe then he'll go running back to Raquel... a girl can hope, can't she? I love the two of them together, I got a bit choked up myself during their fight and then kissing Jennifer Bell (Krista Allen) at the premier? Noooooo Conor! It makes me think of last season when he was so depressed and lonely and no one would help him, and now he's not and Raquel is? You'd think he'd be a bit more sensitive to the situation seeing as he went through something similar himself...

Poor Kaldrick King's (Andra Fuller) dad is trying so hard to get through to him. When the kid at the shelter was reciting Kaldrick's rhymes the King didn't look too happy to hear his own words. Wonder if he's regretting his choice of using derogatory terms like 'faggot'. Irony is a bitch. I wonder how long Kal has known he's gay, whether he felt like that for a while and just kept denying it. Was Tariq (Benjamin Charles Watson) his first guy? Answer these questions, damn you! And bring Tariq back!

Simon's sister Beth (Dale McLeod); I love how harsh she is and her shut down of that Mother, Paula, was fantastic, I wanted to applaud. What a bitch! But poor Simon (Michael Levinson) keeps getting the short end of the stick. I'm glad that him and his friend worked it out between them, showing the adults how to do things! I still really want to know where their parents are...

Those naughty, naughty Christian show kids! When Laura (Megan Hutchings) walked in on Abby (Cassie Steele) and Brandon (Brett Dier) I thought that was it! but then she didn't really seem to care about it... That was when I knew that they wanted to do the nasty with Abby, so predictable. Dirty pretend Christians, haha.

Well, this ep wasn't quite as exciting as the last few have been but if it runs the same amount of eps as last season, that means we're almost done... and last season's cliffy was bloody fantastic!
