Things I love about Beginnings Options

[Sir_Robin_the_br...]

The things I love about Episode 1 of Series 1 of Spaced (in no particular order)

1. Brian's delivery of the 'so you had sex before you kissed' line
2. Tim & Daisy's expressions every time they think they're about to get rumbled (and the way they both say 'shit!')
3. Tim's explanation of his 'The Bear' comic
4. The cuts between scenes as the evening gets progressively later, and the use of props in the captions.
5. Daisy's comment about the rubbish and Tim's reaction.
6. The cut away to Mike flicking the elastic band at the cat (yessss!)
7. The Mice-Spider bit and the accompanying hitchhiker style graphics.

For a first episode it zips along well and for me is probably the 2nd funniest episode of this series (after ep 6 which is simply legendary)

8. The way Tim and Daisy get away with the fact that they had sex before they kissed, when they're clearly expecting to get rumbled.

9. Tim's expression when he realises he might be able to win back Sarah by playing up the fact that he's going to live with Daisy.

10. The fact that Daisy's method of tidying is exactly the same as mine: start tidying, get bored, and put a load of random stuff on (like rubber gloves and a stupid hat you found in the bottom of a cupboard) to cheer yourself up.

11. Mike tactlessly chucking Tims box of things into the back of his van.

You put on rubber gloves to cheer yourself up?

12. daisy and tim's telepathy with one another

[Blind I/O]

You put on rubber gloves to cheer yourself up?

Of course, she's a woman.

Should I have just shot myself instead?

[feckless_dykey_p...]

Love the running joke that a place like Tim and Daisy's flat can be rented for £90 a week. (as said by Simon on the commentary :: that's how i found out about it, cos i didn't get it at first)

[KingoftheFunkingZombies]

Hehe...I love the explanation of how Tim got his scar!

[constantly bored]

Of course, she's a woman.

Should I have just shot myself instead?

Yes, cheeky bugger.

My highlights are:

Tim and Daisy's syncronised crying in the cafe (and singing along with "Getting know yoooou..." just beforehand. )

Tim sticking up for himself to Sarah - "If you don't like it...that's too baaaaad."

Seeing Daisy talk to herself when she's alone...I do that!!

Tim and Daisy interrogation at the table by Brian and Marsha.

11. Mike tactlessly chucking Tims box of things into the back of his van.

Heee - that was one of mine. Also:

- Tim's Spidey impression in the montage
- the saliva dribble on Daisy's chin
- Tim's attempt to "Wha?, I, nnn, pshhht!" off Sarah's question before launching into his impassioned explanation of how much he loves her. (Nice try.)
- Brian: "Don't....ask her....if she wants to talk about it."
- Marsha: *exhale* "Bitch."
- "It's a little more complex than that" (both times)
- The fact that we never really find out why Daisy kept popping out of her bedroom at the end. (We know Tim was going for his FHM, but what's Steiner got up her hoodie sleeve, hmmm?)

[super_horse]

The bit were brian's explaining his art

"like sausages?"

Ho!

[spacegurl]

The fact that they go to the extent of staging holiday photo's a la Green Card in order to get the flat and then Daisy's disappointment when they were not utilised in the interview;
Daisy -(sliding photo across table to Marsha) 'Don't you wanna see our photos?' Tim- (laughs nervously and retracts them.)
