Considering that Juliet Mills plays Tabitha, I have to wonder where Samantha is. Seeing as Endora is a mute five year old girl who communicates in thought bubbles accompanied by pop-up sounds \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t actually know where that thought is going but I can emphatically tell you that it ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t going anywhere good.<\/p>\n<p>Further analysis of the clip itself: Scissor Sisters are singing \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Land of 1000 Words\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, which you may recall from their clip shot in <a href=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/keep\/?p=66\">Scissorvision<\/a>. When they perform the song, Ana doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem anywhere near as into it as she does when she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actually on a real stage. When Tabitha cuts the song short, Jake freaks out. The best part about this freak out is that it essentially this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Where the hell are we? Moments ago we were performing in Wembley! That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s right: Britain loves us, you ingrates!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Then comes the anger, where they look hilariously like they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to beat up an elderly witch and a child witch.<br \/>\nIf Del Marquis has ever looked more threatening than that, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll go hide under my bed.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a coincidence that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Wizard\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, who is a part of the stage band but is not an actual Sister, didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get any dialogue. I understand that these fine folks will be back to play \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Feel Like Dancing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d at whatever the hell club that these dull-eyed Jesse Metcalfe-lites go to so that they can plot to steal each other\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s boyfriends and sell their souls and expose or cover up rich family conspiracies, so if I find that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be sure to give you second by second coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the people on YouTube who filter through all of the crap so that I can take the fleeting nuggets. I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t actually find this on YouTube myself, so thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\">Towleroad<\/a> for working that magic.<\/p>\n<p><b>Update:<\/b> Hah! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2007\/02\/scissor_sisters.html\">Jake Shears strikes back<\/a> at some of the detractors!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For cryin&#8217; out loud.<br \/>\nWe bugged &#8217;em for two years. They wrote us into a script.<br \/>\nWe went on the show, had some good, doofy fun. It&#8217;s not like it was some evil publicity stunt the record label hatched. I even get a Kathie Lee Gifford Carnival Cruise moment in tomorrows episode. It&#8217;s not like we were looking for a daytime Emmy either.
