Minicap: Tabatha Takes Over


By PennyDreadful | | 10:54 pm | 2 Comments

Ahoy, Gasmii!  This week we were at Sweetgrass in Atlanta, which is owned by a guy who is a dead ringer for Sir Francis Drake.  This fits with my Tudor-centric life this week, since I have contracted dysentery (in Tudor times, the “bloody flux”) and have been out of commission for a few days.  So seeing Tim, a/k/a Sir Francis Drake, just made my day.

This ep was pretty much a return to form.  An owner who wasn’t a stylist, but actually wasn’t a bad guy either.  Tim just needed some direction.  Unfortunately, he had hired a gem of a manger (well, in his own mind), Brian.  Watching Brian’s passive-aggressive, negative, just all-round awful manner it occurred to me – he’s a total twin to Tanya (from last week)!  O M G!  Tabatha Takes Over, reuniting long-lost siblings!  Hurry to WeHo, Brian!  Your soulmate is waiting.  Remember to bring a water bottle, m’kay?

Much more in the full recap!

Oh, and guess what Sir Francis Drake died of?  Yep.  The very same thing I have.  Although I definitely intend not to expire anytime soon.  First, there’s more Tabs to recap.  Second, I have an exciting brand new show I’m recapping starting in April (more on that in the coming weeks).  Third, if your BP is 78/65 and your white cell count is 18000 (normal is 5000) and you lose a ton of fluids and you survive that, it makes a hell of a story that you can tell people for the rest of your life.  So why not live?  What’s that I hear playing?

 

Of course.  My theme song!

    PennyD, You are the only one who can make dysentery sound funny, and that is no laughing matter! Loved last night’s epi and can’t wait for your fullcap.

    Editing is a real bitch! Like dysentery.

    LOVE the Sir Francis Drake comparison! And so sorry to hear about the dysentery. Did you know that more soldiers died of dysentery during the Civil War than died in battle? I hope you are recovering speedily!
