In other news, I watched Godsend yesterday. Am I the only one who thinks the Creepy Kid/Young Adult trope is getting done to death?
I hate the Creepy Kid trope too much to be able to tell when it is being overused.

I love creepy kids. Cuz they're creepy. I'm gonna see
Dark Water
because I love creepy kids. And Jennifer Connelly. And suffering.
What about Greta Garbo in
Camille?
That's one gorjuss consumptive.
If you want a REALLY creepy kid, try watching the original Bad Seed.
Fulminating TB is well known to bring a mighty dumptruck of beauty to the doorstep.

How could I have forgotten Garbo? Of course, I haven't actually seen Camille, I just remember that bit from Annie...

Creepy kids was overdone back in Star Trek. Ever since then, it's just been a repeat of the same old.
