Ep 9/12 - "Bride To Beat"

[Sparky]

Yeah that's why I was hopeful he'd show up in this ep, when I saw that some of it took place at Mac's apartment - and also figuring he'd be at the wedding too. I haven't a clue if he might be in tomorrow's.

I was surprised to not see Terrence in this episode, as well as Mom. We haven't seen him at all this season, but even if he doesn't appear in the next episode, We'd still have about 1/3 of the season to go.

*writhes in agony*

Could someone pretty please write a sort of summary for what happens in the new episodes? I'm just dying reading all these lovely spoiler information and I have no clue what is going on arghhhhh T______T

I only know there was a Power Rangers mock-up/spoof/parody in one of the new eps that was revealed at the con. ;__;

It wasn't exactly what I expected, but awwwww.... We see yet again the loyalty Bloo has for Mac, and what great friendship they have. I could feel Bloo's emotion and helplessness when he thought Mac had left him for a girl, and it almost made me want to cry, too. The tear-drop friend didn't capture anything from me, though. I saw the meaning of his story in the beginning about his creator, but after that, I found him kind of pointless. I guess maybe he was just a support to Bloo in his time of "mourning" or something.

I just loved it when Bloo was doing the whole "9 to 5" thing, and kept calling Mac sweet pet names like "Angel Face", "Baby Cakes", "Sweetheart", "Darling", and others. I was surprised Mac didn't get annoyed and tell Bloo to stop calling him stuff like that. LOL!! My word, I too caught the "Male bondage" thing, while Mac was holding jumper cables. But my response was "Eehhhhhh!!" LOL, that was just wrong! I also loved Frankie's line "Just like a little Man!" I guess it was just the way Grey said it, she sounded so funny! And when Bloo walked right THROUGH George Mucus and then dragged him down the hall...Hahaha!!! Poor George. And did anyone notice that Coco didn't appear at all? Not even a tiny cameo like Wilt and Ed got? That was kind of odd.

I really liked this episode, as it portrays more of the great friendship and loyalty between Mac and Bloo. And who doesn't like pretending to be grown up? Or at least watching someone pretend to be grown up?

Eh, I'd rather act like a two-year-old.

Yeah, no Coco was odd. Other than Frankie My Dear I can't recall her being totally absent from an episode.

....
Wow.....just...wow....
Male Bondage eh? hehe, wow. lol
Eh, besides that, this episode was really cute. It really shows how much Bloo cares for Mac. Also, it was nice to see Duchess again, even if she wasn't in it for too long.

Once I've got a good screen grab for reference, I am SO gonna create a poster of Jedi Master Wilt saying, "Because I SAAIIID sooooo", lol! Every teacher and ever parent needs to have one of those posted in a high-visability spot. Wilt never ceases to provide inspiration!

I'll do my best!

Mac and Bloo are planning how to disrupt a tea party Duchess is planning for herself when Mac remembers an appointment and leaves, refusing to tell Bloo what it is. Bloo hunts him down, finally spotting him in Madame Foster's room. She and Frankie are fitting him for a tuxedo and teasing him about being literally too big for his britches. They ask when the wedding is; Mac says Saturday.

Distraught, Bloo retires to the roof to scream-cry for what feels like eight hours, when he encounters a French teardrop friend. The teardrop tells how his creator grew up, married, and left him. Bloo resolves to grow up so he can keep Mac as a friend.

Bloo first tries sitting quietly and reading the financial page of the newspaper. Mac is bored and leaves. That night, he listens in to the neighbors who congratulate each other about fixing a shed. Bloo then tries "male bondage" (his term) with Mac by fixing things around the house, which requires him to break them in the first place. Mac is tired and leaves. Bloo spies on different neighbors and tries a nine-to-five job to "bring home the bacon." This consists of surprising Mac as he leaves for school, waiting around the apartment until five o'clock muttering to himself, then heading back to Foster's to give Mac a package of bacon. Mac is irritated he waited two hours for this and starts to leave. Bloo confronts him about the wedding; Mac apologizes for hiding it but fails to explain he's the ringbearer, so Bloo's still confused when he leaves. Bloo cries some more, and the teardrop comes back to recommend suicide. Bloo accidentally shoves him off the roof (he lives) and vows to disrupt the wedding.

The wedding looks like the end of The Graduate, if you've seen that. Bloo throws the oil, feathers, and marbles they intended for Duchess before Mac can catch him. Mac finally sets Bloo straight and they flee the church to pester Duchess.

Nice idea, but impossible to bring off well. Bloo boring Mac means boring the audience as well. The teardrop friend is unnecessary and hard to comprehend; this show has too many funny nasal accents for my ear. As has been pointed out, Mac's mom and brother don't appear at this family function and are never mentioned, nor is there any explanation of why Mac is getting his suit altered at Foster's when he's not supposed to go there. It's not a bad episode, but it has very little going for it.
