1/2 SMK Stats: Saved By The Bells

Hey, hey everyone!  It’s stats time again!  My crazy Obamacare obsession has finally ebbed some and so I’m back to having some extra time to devote to SMK Stats.   Hooray!   Stats are much more interesting, yes? 

Here in SBTBells, we see our favorite heroine falling prey to the baddies after she insists on doing something that Lee really doesn’t want her to do.  And of course, that lands her in all kinds of hot water…sort of like those fishies!  But it results in such a lovely, swooney scene that it’s all worth it.  Of course that scene in detail will come in Stats part 2, hahaha!  Sorry, but iwsod’s taught me how to tease!

Enjoy!  And as always, let me know if I’ve made any boo boos!

AMANDA DOESN’T DO WHAT LEE TELLS HER

bad amanda

A:  Well, tell you what.  As long as I’m here I think I’ll clean your apartment up a little bit.  L:  Uh, no!  No. No, you don’t need to do that.  A:  Oh, that’s alright.  I insist.  L:  No!  No, you don’t have to do that.  A:  Oh, no, no, I insist!

bad amanda 2On cleaning Lee’s apartment that is!  Love how these two go back and forth on this.  I bet Lee has NO idea just how much incriminating stuff she’s going to find!  Or maybe  he does!  Just look at his face!  Rolling on the floor laughingOpen-mouthed smile

AMANDA BOO BOOS

Uh oh, after sticking around to clean up Lee’s apartment, Amanda is kidnapped at gunpoint!

a boo boo 5

Then she has her mouth taped, her hands bound and she gets stuffed in a crate and transported to the baddies’ hideout!  Please note the standard issue “baddie rope” around Amanda’s wrists.  They must all shop at the local D.C. Baddies R Us store.  Winking smile

Next the tape gets ripped off her face.  OUCH!!!  That’s got to hurt!

a boo boo 7

Amanda quickly forgets about the pain though when she hears the baddie call her Scarecrow.  What???  Lovin’ that face, KJ!!

Amanda is really nervous, trying to prove she’s not “the Scarecrow.”  And I can’t help it, I have to include this…don’t you just love this poem? 

I like my bike.

I like my room.

I even like my brother.

But most of all, in all the world, I really like my mother.

(Written by Jamie King – in case you were wondering.)

I don’t think I’ve forgotten how that last line goes for the last 30 years!

a boo boo 11

See?  It even makes the baddie happy with laughter!  He likes it too!  Nice smile…he must have good health care insurance in his country.  Surprised smile

 a boo boo 10

Ahhh, finally.  Amanda’s time as a hostage is about to end.  But one last insult – she is blindfolded so she doesn’t know where she was being held.  But hey, at least she wasn’t stuffed back in that crate again!

LEE SAVES AMANDA

.

.

After Lee finds out that TPTB are not willing to trade Rostov for Amanda, he decides to take care of business on his own.  He can’t live with Amanda dying in his place.

l saves al saves a 2

Lee first has to get Rostov out of the Agency.  Hmmm, wonder if Rostov could find his way back???

.

l saves a 3

Just look at that face!  Lee means business!  He’s arranged a trade on a golf course somewhere in the Hollywood Hills – anyone see the sign yet?  If you do, please tell iwsod!  I hear she’s a lookin’!

avatar

Ahhhh, Lee’s finally got her back!  You’re the man, Lee!

untie ropes

C’mon, c’mon, get those ropes untied, Lee!  I love this scene!  He looks like he’s in pain for her, feeling so awful about what happened to her because she was at his apartment while he was off to run around in Bermuda!

touch 8

L:  I’m sorry.  Take it easy…take it easy.  It’s all over. 

OMG!  Another great save by Lee!!!  The save in SAAB was great, but I love that she’s awake for this one so they can share their fears and feelings together.  This one may be my new favorite save of the series.  Anyone else with me on that?

.

AMANDA SAVES LEE

.

.

Well, not long after Lee saves Amanda, he needs a little saving himself!  He’s being brought up on treason charges!

a saves l 4 

Anyone out there like Lee’s Unabomber look?  I forget who called it that on the blog – but thank you whoever you are!  Funny how Amanda seemed to be the only one who thought to see if Lee went to his gym.  Seems she’s getting to know him pretty well, huh?  Not even Francine, his so called friend, thought to check there.

.

HANDS ALERT, JULE!!  PUT YOUR SWOON CAP ON!

After finding Lee at his gym and losing the tail at the red light, Amanda helps Lee to figure out where they were keeping her.

And after Amanda climbs up the shelving like a little monkey, she takes out the two baddies so Lee can escape their evil clutches!

Even just the sound of “the Scarecrow’s” voice is enough to make these baddies stop and think about what their doing.  LOL!!!

AMAAANDA! (always said with a hint of annoyance)

Boy does Lee look a little mad here!  They’re trying hard to find the house where she was held but she’s just ramblin’ on about Jamie’s party, Pretzel the Clown and chicken pox.  I feel for ya, Lee!!

AMANDA BANDS  

.

.

aband

And here we go again…another one of these lovely bands!  I actually own a red one just like this, but I’ve only worn it one of two ways – across the top of my head like a head band or folded in half like a triangle to cover my hair while painting.

Check out the “HELP” on the chalk board behind Amanda.  It’s right next to “AMANDA CALL DEAN”  LOL !!!  Now who wrote that?  Dennis Duckwall?

Here we have the back view….  Love Dotty’s face in this pic!

aband 3

Oh, look!  A baddie is now sporting an Amanda Band!   Guess he liked the look on her so much when she was their “guest” that he decided to copy it!  Tee hee…Winking smile

.

aband 4

This is not an Amanda band, but just what the heck is it???  Any ideas anyone?  I’m talking about that metallic line in Amanda’s hair that runs diagonally in the center of the oval.  Is it part of a hair piece?

 .

.

Jack Sightings

jack

We have another Jack sighting!!  You know what else is funny?  When Lee talks to these two agents to take Rostov to Recon, he calls the guy on the left, “Jack!”  LOL!!!  There are Jacks all over the place!

jack 2

Oh no!  Jack is telling on Lee!  J:  Yeah, I’ve got a Code Red, Section 6.  Bad Jack!!  But hey, he got another line in an episode!

 

Jill Sightings

Jill 

I think the woman behind Mr. Unabomber could be Jill.  The only thing that doesn’t fit is her haircut.  It looks like she had her own hairdon’t phase.  Or maybe it’s pulled in a twist and we can’t see it.  I’m not sure.  What do you think?

Gratuitous Dimple shots

dimple 

Oh my.  Is that a dimple I see there in one of his cheeks??  Actually I can’t really tell because I can’t take my eyes off his eyes.  Well, that and his lovely Dorothy Hamill haircut Winking smile  Anyway, this is how he shows Amanda his appreciation for her taking care of Melvin for him.  I know I’d feed his fish for him if he’d look at me that way!  Hahaha!

.

.

dimple 2

Is that a left dimple I see?  I guess it also comes out when Amanda is being bad!  She just told him twice that she insists on cleaning his apartment.  What do you think he’s thinking here?  It’s a meme game, KC!!!

A.  Great, she’s gonna drown my Tibetan ram’s horn again.

B.  I just hope she doesn’t open up my underwear drawer.  Or my nightstand drawer for that matter.

C.  What’s she going to alphabetize this time?

D.  Oh no…I hope she doesn’t find those Lee and She robes.  Groan.

.

.

dimple 4

It’s Lee in the great outdoors, iwsod!  I know you like him like that!  And there is too a dimple in his right cheek – just a little one, but it’s there!

.

dimple 3

Lee in the great outdoors with a smile in his eyes, a bigger dimple in his cheek and holding a big bad gun…swoon, thud!  We all know this look in his eyes and dimple in his cheek is reserved for one Amanda King! 

.

dimple 7

Awww, even when he’s stressed and has no idea how to get them out of the jam they’re in, he still manages to let her know it’ll be okay and flash her a dimple.

.

dimple 6

A:  Is there anything else I can do?  L:  No, you can leave your silver bullet and ride off.  ROFL!!!  You are too funny, Lee!!!  Are you jealous that they still think she’s you?  Hahahaha!

Well, that wraps it up for now!  Part 2 will be coming shortly.  Here’s the link to iwsod’s first SBTBells post.  Thanks for reading and please submit your vote or alternate answer for the meme game in the comments!!  And anything else you want to say!

Burn Out is only one more stats post and a few more days away!  Blame it on the Master of Teasing herself – iwsod schedules the posts!!  ;D

  1. Okay – in that last screenshot Lee looks like he’s feeling up the bad guy! WT…?!
    My perceptions have been shattered by this post – maybe somewhat naively I always thought they did all the DC filming for SMK actually in DC. After the comment about the golf course I googled where the show was filmed and – horror! – it seems it was mostly filmed in LA and maybe only the monument shots etc in DC! 😯
    still love the stats as usual – lots of fun to read 🙂

    1. Oh dear, ebineez! Sorry to hear your perceptions have been shattered! I think we would all feel that way about certain parts of this show if we were aware of all that really happened and how they filmed it. I know nothing about making TV or movies, so I always remind myself that these characters exist only on TV so I prefer to stay in SMK Land and not google the “real” parts of the show or the actors. I prefer to stay fooled!

      Glad the hear you loved the stats though 🙂

  2. I love the look reserved only for one Amanda King, and the look when Amanda doesn’t listen to him, that is a great piece of dialogue about not cleaning the apartment. I think in that dimple shot he is wondering to himself how a he ever got a woman in his life that is bound and determined to clean his apartment. I bet he hasn’t had a woman like that in his life since he was 4. Must be completely freaking the poor guy out.

    I saw the pic of Amanda with the red ring around her head before I read the captions, I was wondering why you had given her a tipped halo?

    There really are a lot of different types of Lee smiles in this episode aren’t there?

    Guyliner stats, Jenbo?? Aye! Not sure I could do it..don’t want those images of Lee stuck in my head – although I bet some of them would make for funny memes! Please keep pointing them out – maybe there could be a future post or part of a post on “Beauty Tips by Lee.”

    Valerie – I’m so glad you’re enjoying the episode posts and the stats posts and getting some good laughs. That’s one of the things about this blog that is so great – it’s a wonderful place to come and share about something we all love and have some fun while doing it. 🙂

    I think BB does have a lot of western lines throughout the series. I wonder how many of them are written in the script or are from him. I think it’s fairly well known in RL BB loves that genre. There is a meaning of names thread on yuku where Stetson is discussed – it’s sort of like the Coca-Cola of cowboy hats. I like that all those western references are in the show. I wonder how much of a Lone Ranger fan BB was in RL?

    Haha, KC! Yes, that is not a good hands pic – you are right! But I wanted to make sure that it was obvious those were Lee’s hands and not a hand model’s. And there is a little more on his hands in part 2…this was a little bit of a set-up. 😉

    LASinLA/KC , yeah, that metal thing in Amanda’s hair does look like it could be a comb, but it looks like it wraps almost all the way around her head – the red ring I put on the photo covers is up a bit. I couldn’t figure out how to slant the oval circle. Do you see where it extends out to the backside of her head outside the red oval? Were the old fashioned combs that bit?

    Hope you were drinking your coffee when you read this post, Cindy!

    There are some gratuitous guyliner shots here. Maybe we should have a new stat of Lee wears a disproportionate amount of make up 😉
    I also think that line in Amanda’s hair is a comb, she does have a rather untamed mane after all 😉

  6. I came to the blog after this episode was journeyed through, but I have read through all of the posts. For some reason I just noticed the “silver bullet” line. I wonder how many times BB threw in little western lines. The silver bullet is in reference to the Lone Ranger. But it’s very apropos to Lee as the Lone Ranger was pretty much a loner and spent his life seeking justice for those wronged and helping those in trouble. And he would always leave a silver bullet behind. Wasn’t Lee’s Porsche silver, as was the ‘Vette? And Lone Ranger was sort of a code name, like Scarecrow and he had a trusted friend named Amanda…I mean Tonto. Okay, enough of that.

    I laughed out loud during this episode, I laughed out loud reading the original post, and I laughed out loud reading these stats. After the fiasco of YODT this was much needed relief. Sort of a cleansing of the palate for the next few episodes.

    “HANDS ALERT, JULE!! PUT YOUR SWOON CAP ON!”
    ROFL! 😀 (But it’s not a good hands pic… at least, not one I’d classify as a good hands pic. I’m going to have to go and find one, now.)

    “This is not an Amanda band, but just what the heck is it???”
    It’s either the top of a haircomb, as LASinLA said, or a clip (barrette). I think it’s usually a clip they use; if you watch Amanda’s hair, you’ll see them reasonably regularly.

    “There are Jacks all over the place!”
    Maybe Lee calls all the other male agents Jack… Short for Jackass, possibly? 😀 Heh heh heh…

    “Is that a dimple I see there in one of his cheeks?”
    I don’t know–I can’t see them all. *runs away, singing the smurf song*

    “What do you think he’s thinking here? It’s a meme game, KC!!!”
    B. Definitely. Although… I really don’t think he had a lot of shame at this stage, so maybe not. Maybe it was A. OK–final answer = A.

    OMG BJo, I laughed so hard when I saw your last screenshot. It looks like Lee is grabbing the baddie’s a***! (I know, I know. He just finished frisking the guy, but it’s funny… and I just had to make a meme. Thanks for the inspiration!)

    Oh, yeah–the Dorothy Hamill haircut comment was awesome! 😀 Gotta love the ’80s.

  8. The metal thingy in Amanda’s hair may be the top of a “comb”. Is there another word for those? They are kind of old-fashioned hair ornaments that can secure flyaway strands of hair. Younger me wanted so badly to wear them, but they always fell out. 😦
