Just finished s4 ep 12 of moonlighting and like. I know I say something along these lines after every single episode of this show but what in the cinnamon toasted fuck was that

Never in my life have I sympathized with any human beings more than I sympathize with the folks who watched this shit in real time in 1987 and had to endure this jack fuckery. I literally cannot imagine the screaming I would have done if my ass had waited around through weeks of reruns for stunts like this. Any of yall who did this the first time around are my heroes because I am losing my will over here holy god. Did you break your tv sets? Rip up the tv guide? I felt the ghost of Rage Quitting past as soon as the episode ended like it was imprinted onto the reels from y’all’s original agony lmfao

#I say again WHAT #moonlighting #loptrcoptr watches tv #look like in fairness I knew shit like this was ahead in that ‘this is too good to be true’ feeling you get #when you’ve watched or read something long enough and the ship gets together and you’re like… theeeres too much time left oh god oh no #and in fairness instead to the show its not like they haven’t jumped the shark prior to this #but because everything was ridiculous from the start it was ok #this is a soap opera level plot explosion that I honestly cannot wrap my head around the reasoning for #I’ll have to look up what the fuck was going on behind the scenes to cause the entire cluster fuck that is this fourth season #what a ride lmfao

I’ve finally reached the point in my ncis rewatch where I’ve hit the episode i was an extra in and it’s… weird watching it 10 years later. I can still remember it really well (I mean obv, I was obsessed at the time, and mark Harmon was the nicest tv celeb I ever met, and they served swordfish for inch that day which was incredible…) but it feels so dissociative? I still have the jacket I’m wearing, and I remember every other item of clothing I had on (along with several of the accessories on other background/my friends) but I look at me in this scene, and it doesn’t feel like it’s me anymore. I keep looking at my calves and being like ??? Look how skinny my legs were lmao whose legs are those (behold, baby Loptrcoptr (orange pants), a year prior to learning the heiti “Loptr” in the first place)

Anyway, I would like to send out a ten year late apology to Cote de Pablo for staring at her in the lunch line, I’m not subtle lmao and I also snuck a peak at the squad room and autopsy. To anyone who is still around from The Old Days, I miss all our NCIS chats and threads, thems were good times.

#also I distinctly remember during one take we were all on another side of the room #and I don’t even remember what the setup was but we were very close to the actors who were all guest stars etc. #and… my dumbass kept talking to the girl playing the teenager in this episode– like her friend got kidnapped and her dad got killed and she #was the witness– and I… thought she was the stand in because the stand in looked younger had on more makeup and had better clothes! #so this poor woman is like awkwardly answering me like yeah… uh huh. um yeah. #and then the stand in comes back and they light her and i was like ‘cool I’ll just go die of shame in the corner now’ #anyway happy ten years to the day mark Harmon said he liked my hat #ncis #loptrcoptr watches ncis #also interesting: I remember Schmiel and I remember Alex Kingston’s characters #but I had no memory of them being from this episode #so a lot of this stuck with me but in disconnected bits I guess

In this episode of law and order uk, this woman says she turned to prostitution because she was forty grand in debt. She says to one of the cops “have you ever been in that much debt? It’s like you can’t breathe”

And I’m over here just *laughing in That’s My Student Debt Figure*

#lmao 40000 is a number I tell my parents and they go #‘oh that’s not that much’ #loptrcoptr watches tv

production design: right, we need to stage this character’s flat. He’s uh, a tall, hot high school teacher who used to play basketball

props master: tall? basketball? say no more

#you ever glimpse something in the background and just KNOW it was someone on the props' team's pride and joy? #aşk 101 #ask 101 #for further hilarity: the person pictured is not the hot basketball teacher he's a high school student #but like every other 'teen' in the show he's a grownass adult (must've been around 28 when filming this?) #what'd I tell y'all... it's the arms look at his arms teenagers don't have arms like that lol #loptrcoptr watches turkish tv

Gaius Baltar, talking about a “stupid” idea: I had the most fascinating chat with one of the Dorals. He’s got this theory about sanitation being the key to human support... something about... toilet paper. No, lack of toilet paper, that’s it. If people could only wipe their bums properly, there’d be a measurable uptick in the polls.

I have a very strong feeling that the way this mini-monologue comes across in 2021 was definitely not the way it came across in 2006.

Need to get me a t-shirt that says “Doral Was Right”

#I wanted to take screenshots but I’m watching on an actual tv #so all my photos of the screen looked super awful soz #but I liked awkwardly because hahahahaaaaa no. no that is exactly true actually #don’t laugh gaius dorsal was 100% right #bsg spoilers #loptrcoptr watches bsg
