Let me tell you about Mae Whitman

I have been slowly rewatching Arrested Development. I just got up to the episodes with Ann Veal in them, and they keep being all 'her?', but it doesn't make any sense because (apart from her first episode) it's Mae Whitman. MAE WHITMAN. Here is what Mae Whitman looks like:

Or how about this:

And she doesn't look like that in the show, obviously. But she's still Mae Whitman. So it doesn't make any sense that they would look down on her. Instead they should be saying "Very good, George Michael, well done". NATURALLY they are all blindsided by their jealousy over George Michael and the fact he would go outside the family for happiness. BUT STILL.

In Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Mae Whitman plays Roxy Richter:

She is a lesbian and people sleep with her and then say it doesn't count, because they were only bi-curious. She says she's bi-furious.

I LOVE HER. Apparently she's in Parenthood now. And did the voice of one of the main characters of Avatar: The Last Airbender for a long while. And was also the voice of Tinkerbell. I should probably catch up with current TV.

I'm not crazy. I know Ann is no Maeby, or Lindsey, or Lucille. But she's still Mae Whitman. And she's still Ann. So Arrested Development is confusing me a bit at the moment. Happily, I'm finding Michael too pretty to look at again though.

I still find it hilarious that Maeby and Ann apparently did a show together where they were BFFs for years before they did Arrested Development. And I still think - as I did before I found out about that show - that Maeby and Ann should grow up and work in a detective's agency together. Maeby because she likes messing with people, and Ann because she is Christian, and she loves JUSTICE. There's just a chance the new movie/series of Arrested Development won't give me that, I've just realised.

In conclusion: I would gay for Mae Whitman. The Bluths should love Ann more.

Also, this woman is incredibly funny. I love her. And I watched most of the first episode of Coronation Street tonight, and none of the second. BECAUSE I GIVE UP, CORRIE. I GIVE UP.

I think she rear-ended Tyrone and Tina's car by mistake but it was by mistake DURING SOME UNBALANCED BEHAVIOUR like chasing them through the city, and after she'd been abusing her police powers to harass Tina. I remember getting really pissed off with Rita for going 'oh you're both as bad as each other' when clearly no, they're not - arguing and disliking someone is one thing but abusing your power to harass someone is totally different. Rita can be really stupid at times though. You'd think the factory workers would have noticed that Kirsty was seriously moody at the very least.

I REALLY SHIP CARLA AND MICHELLE BY THE WAY LADIES RUNNING BUSINESSES TOGETHER IS MY NEW KINK

I guess they will put her moodiness down to her having been abused? If they even bother to remember it at all. What really pissed me off about her stint at the factory was the way Rob treated her. I mean, I didn't watch all of it, but from what I did see it seemed like he tried to be charming with the rest of the women, and was really nice to them. But with Kirsty he was shouting at her for being a few minutes late, and threatening to fire her over to taking a break to get a glass of water. And it just seemed so cheap, like he was literally only doing it because the writers needed to give Kirsty some stress she could take out on Tyrone. Or maybe Rob turned out to be, or will turn out to be, super racist. Who knows?

I always shipped Carla with Maria, and then Liam/Carla/Maria/Tony/Roy in a weird big mess when the Tony storyline went down. But Carla barely ever speaks to Maria anymore, and does seem to love and respect Michelle a lot more.
