And another thing! Quite apart from the mystical stuff (which I loved) in the original, the family loyalty dynamic was the root of the story...the engine for tension and forward movement.
Having the Beast be HulkBourne? Tired and lazy.
Mal: We're still flying. Simon: That's not much. Mal: It's enough.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Either Kreuk or the CW-issue blank underwear model cast as the Beast would have been enough to keep me from watching. Combined, they allow me to feel confident in pointing and laughing from afar.

Art Crawl!!!
One of my friends stuck it out for 15 minutes.
Another suggests that the only way to watch is to be imbibing copious amounts of alcohol.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Arrow was way better. And it wasn't even good.
Vampire Diaries opinions? I think it's ridiculous to have a horde of violent, nay murderous, effectively teenaged monsters rampaging through the town and not try and just amputate the area--I was with them all the way up until they immolated.

Damn allergies.
Last night Seska and me discussed the possibility that the finale not only featured weeping angels, but also was written by them. Which might explain some things.

Yeah, I've never understood why no one seems to make the "maybe wiping out all vampires is something we should consider" case, when even the ones they like kill people pretty often. But I do not get the pastor's plan at all.

Speaking of Charlie's Angels, is anyone watching 666 Park Ave? I want to like it, but I just really hate the lead actress. And I think that I'm going to get annoyed with the people doing stupid shit to get what they want.

Vortex,
the blonde actress you mean? I saw the pilot and she irritated the fuck out of me as did her BF. I started yelling at them halfway through. I finished the pilot, but I'm not going back. I cannot deal with watching that level of stupidity every week.
Not even for Vanessa Williams.

I'm recording it so I can fast forward for glimpses of Scott Speedman Jr.Robert Buckley skin, but haven't been able to make myself watch the 2nd episode yet.
