Today’s beautiful and long-awaited recap is from season eight of Touched by an Angel, otherwise known (by me) as the Duckface Years, because Roma Downey got some plastic surgery that did not treat her kind. But more importantly, this episode stars the one and only Mary McDonnell.
As a nun who sings to herself.
I feel like, at this point, it’s worth noting that Mary McDonnell is not the most consistent actress. When she wants to, she can knock it out of the park (see: BSG) but when she doesn’t want to, she does what I affectionately refer to as “drunk acting” (see: High Society). It may be surprising to people to learn that Mary chooses to do some serious acting for Touched by an Angel. It would not have been my choice.
This is a fandomstravaganza present for Kristen (and if you want any sort of fandomstravaganza in your life, you can still request things for ten more days).
Anyway, this episode of Touched by an Angel has some very special guest stars, and gives you insight into the world of competitive gymnasts as they try to be actors.
And by “very special episode,” I mean one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen on television. I am, of course, talking about the episode entitled ‘Black Like Monica.’ It is an episode that leaves you with more questions than answers. What will follow behind the cut is not an in-depth analysis, but more a recap of events as they occur.
