Kyle XY: Gray Matters

I simply must start this post by saying what I told my husband this morning: I never thought I’d be blogging about a television whose season finale is being billed as the “prom finale.”
Dorky? Yeah. Lame? Heck yeah? Totally cheesy? Absolument. Did I nearly shed a tear when Declan finally got Lori to go to the prom with him? Did I think to myself, “Gee, Josh has really grown up, what a good kid!” when he told Amanda he’d donate his radio winnings that he’d spent all day “earning” with Jessi’s help to make the prom happen? $%(#*% yeah!
I absolutely cannot explain why, but I love this cheese-fest called Kyle XY.
OK, gotten that off my chest, and I have a lot of questions raised by last night’s ep.
First off (OK, this is a statement more than a question, but it has to be said) it’s utterly remarkable how much Ally Sheedy and Jaimie Alexander look and sound alike.
I hadn’t noticed the vocal similarity until the scene toward the end when Jessi and Sarah are strolling in the park, when their hoarse altos were almost interchangeable.
But Ally, babe, you’ve aged! And that just made me feel old. I remember back in the day when Ally was one of the primo brat packers and starred in half the movies I went to see. So if Ally’s old, what does that say about me? The good news is that she’s several years older than me, so that’s something, anyway.
What’s important, though, about how old Ally looks is that makeup can do a lot of things; why does Sarah look so much older than Adam? I mean, Adam still looks quite youthful. If Sarah looks as old as she does, the showrunners want her to. Did living off the grid make it harder for her to heal herself or stay youthful or whatever?
Where was that motel that Sarah’s staying at that it was so close to the diner? She was there awfully quickly after Jessi started that earthquake. Where has Sarah been living lo these many years, anyway?
OK, who on earth are these Latnok folks in their Star Chamber? (I know I used that joke last week, but it is still appropriate.) A dozen folks in dark suits, light coming up from each spot at the table, watching Kyle bring Jessi back to life. If these folks are scientists, then I’m the queen of Sheba, that’s all I’m sayin’.
The implication last night was that Adam’s been snowed by these Latnokians; Sarah obviously sees through them. But has he been? Does she?
OK, this has taken far too long and I still haven’t gotten to the most important thing that happened last night: FOSS!!!
Tell me you didn’t fall on the floor when you saw who’d dropped that one-way plane ticket on Taylor’s desk. Tell me you didn’t, and you’re a freakin’ liar. Liar, liar, pants in flames.
So good to see him back.
Alright, so I gotta wrap this up. To summarize:
Foss good.
Latnok = Star Chamber
Yay, Leclan (Dori?)
Andy’s just too cool. Completely ponying up for the cost of the prom. Awww.
Hillary completely annoying, yet not a really horrible person.
Amanda shut up, please.
Kyle can bring people back to life? Really? Of course, he causes major electrical outages in doing it, but, hey, that’s a small price to pay.
Awww, Jessi’s moving in with the Traegers. How sweet. And creepy.
