My thoughts on Heart of Mine

This episode made me laugh, and I'll admit it, it made me cry.

First of all, the return of Liz's journal. Yay! Even though the fact that she says she hasn't written anything in over a year kinda screws with a couple of my fics (grin) I'm glad to see it's back!!

"You look beautiful," Max said. "You look nice too," Liz replied. Does anybody else feel that's the understatement of the century? Please excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor and go get the mop to take care of all that drool...! And may I add that all the men looked great wearing tuxedos?

A word about the music, I always love what they choose and they had 2 of my favourites this week. "Camera One" by the Josh Joplin Group was in the scene I just mentioned. And I was dancing to "Rock DJ"! :) Yeah! What can I say, I just love Robbie!

I said it before and I'll say it again. Every episode should be 2 hours! We didn't get nearly enough Kyle last night. Or Alex.

And what was that Kyle was reading? Buddhism in relationships? ROTFL!! I think they heard me across the street! And the look on his face was priceless when he called Tess his sister. "What the hell did I just say?!?!" I love Kyle.

Did anyone notice the look Liz gave Tess and the one Max gave Kyle when they were taking the pictures? I haven't had time to analyse it yet, but it definitely means something, I'm sure! (Oh, and I feel compelled to mention the absolutely gorgeous smile on Max's face. They should give this guy happier storylines just so we can see that smile more often - sigh)

Doesn't anybody ever use doors anymore? lol!

Why does Michael feel that he has to be a jerk everytime he wants to do something nice?

And if I sound so happy about the whole episode is because I'm still in denial over some things! ;)

Candles in Max's bedroom?!?? No wonder Liz got the wrong idea! I don't know which of the two to be mad at; she's messing with his head ("sleeping" with Kyle, "I want to be your friend, you have no idea what I've been through this past year, basically it's your fault") and he's just standing there. He should be yelling or something. Like in Harvest. It's like he's just numb now. Too much pain and he doesn't know how to deal with it, so he does what feels like the right thing to do to find himself again, and that is remembering his alien life. But that's not him, not really, that was Zan or whatever. Someone suggested that Tess is still using her mind-warp. I don't know... but if she is, it wouldn't surprise me!!

And how on Earth did he not hear the door when Liz walked out? Why, why?!!? Gotta keep the faith, gotta keep the faith... My spoiled friend told me it gets darkest before dawn... Gotta keep the faith... Actually, the fact that Max seemed sheepish after kissing Tess is helping me. He didn't smile, he didn't quite meet her eyes, he just kept staring at his white rose (which represents Liz. I love metaphors, or symbols, or whatever you call this! :P ) So I'm keeping the faith...

There are a lot more I would want to say, but I'm supposed to be working... (grin)

See y'all later!
