I'm watching Point Pleasant now. There are just so many ways that this is totally not Jersey.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The reviews calling Point Pleasant basically portentous and heavy-handed? So far - they are right. It's only half an hour old. Meh.
Plus, a spectacularly uncharismatic cast, despite the generic pretty.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I would quit complaining if they would cancel class tomorrow.
I would cancel work if they would cancel class tomorrow. (Because, yes!! I have that power!!!)
(But not if they don't cancel class.)
(And they never do.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Trust my rage
I think that it's Jeff Bell tonight.
That explains it.
And the thing is, a few people are truly complete idiots about this stuff
I think this is the real problem. it only takes one moron going 5 mph to tie up traffic for miles. But the kids stuck at school thing made me laugh (although I'd be mad if those were my kids.) All the schools here closed at least 7 hours ago (I think). What have they been doing since then?

Okay if some of us get a head start? In fact, I think we might form a club and meet in Troy this weekend ...
Excellent, JSw. I'll send along a couple of LA representatives for you to hate in person.
Also? THHHPPPPBBBBTT!

Hell, there are so many ways this is totally not the Northeast. Like, anywhere above Virginia, if then. I'm waiting for the first big sunset scene at the beach, as it sinks over the "Atlantic" ocean.

No kidding.
Aside from the zillion other things, there was a PALM TREE in one scene. And not a neon one.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
