Oh, thanks for the reminder, I meant to watch that. Looks like I can catch it on Saturday.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've read about a zillion reviews comparing it to BtVS -- any truth to that?

The impression I got from a couple of people who saw it is that Hex aspires to be like Buffy and is actually more like Charmed. Trashy fun sounds accurate -- I'll try to remember to catch it this weekend.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I just noticed a couple of weeks ago there's a Ghost Rider movie coming out.

Yes, there is the small blonde heroine just transferred to the school and her best friend -- who is a lesbian.
There also appears to be a Giles-like character and a teacher that reminded me a bit of Jenny Calendar. And OF COURSE, there is the immortal and evil beloved guy.
But it is alot more like Charmed. I think it's a combination of a failure to write as well as Joss and the ME staff and the way she can use powers.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It looks like it's trying to *look* like The Craft, which, no. Just no. But maybe it's better than it looks.

I've often heard Charmed compared to The Craft to the detriment of Charmed so that kind of makes sense.
I love that the "Prequel" aspects happened during Angel's human lifetime, you know, for yet another area of comparison.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Well, at least aiming for Buffy and missing leaves room for a bit of quality. Imagine what it would be like if they were aiming for Charmed and missed.

Hex is just woeful. Utterly woeful.

Hex is just woeful. Utterly woeful.
I haven't seen it, but I was skeptical because in Entertainment Weekly, the creators said something like "Unlike Buffy, we take the genre seriously." Um, yeah. Good luck with that.
