hullo there
Touch the link for todays rant. I'm back and I'm armed and I'm dangerous. Grr. I have been away for reasons of which u will find on my other site, but for now let us talk about the pretenders. I am also, however, referring to Maguiver for this rant, but for the sake of sanity I will only speak of the pretenders.
It is one of those shows that we all know and watch occassionally but never get really into. The pretenders is about a man called Jared who was raised by the "centre" and broke free to help the world with his amazing intellect. He does all this whilst the centre tries to relocate him but they never meet because he is always about 50 steps ahead of them.
The reason I love this is its just one of those shows! The word I'm looking for is cheesy. Really really cheesy. He goes around involving himself in other peoples affairs to their benefit. But its the way the monologues are said that is genius. There are so many one liners and so many instances in which you think "how is he going to get out of this one?" then he finds the perfect solution or the guard is like a guard from thief 3. Maguiver is the ultimate example of this. He'll think to himself, richard dean anderson who also narrates, " hmm i need a length of rubber tubing, 50 pounds of ground ant lavae and a short necked turtle called bill." And then he'll quickly find the said items within a ten meter radius around his position, with the turtle being delivered by a friend, and somehow make a controlled bomb that takes out all the enemies before his cheesy one liner that gets him the girl.
What really makes me laugh about the pretender however is the fact that he is embued (quote from wikipedia) "with a talent for such pretences bordering on the supernatural" because he can impersonate anyone. But all that means is hes a good actor, not an einstein with the flair for danger.Ohhh if u get a chance watch an episode, good times.
