I never saw Brandon's Superman movie, but even after seeing him on Chuck, once I saw Scott Pilgrim he's ALWAYS been "Todd the Vegan"
Seriously - "Chicken cordon bleu isn't vegan?"
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm just now watching S1 of Sleepy Hollow, and I can't believe they had Clancy Brown for the pilot and got rid of him so quickly. If you have a Clancy Brown, you use your Clancy Brown! (My reaction, unsurprisingly, was "Lex Luthor!")
OTOH, if a show is willing to kill off Clancy Brown's character in the first 10 minutes, that's kind of ballsy and badass.
(I still can't believe I didn't watch this last year.)

The status is NOT quo.
A few moments I’ve loved these past couple of weeks: Ichabod’s reaction to the two men holding hands in the coffee shop...because hat = rude! Also the headphones moment this week.
And on OUaT, I loved the moment when Hook explains how little he knows about using cell phones.

I think the bulk of the Sleepy Hollow people are the Fringe people, and I will follow them to HELL if they want me to.
I ended up having huge (but different) issues with Lost and Alias, but Fringe managed to work it out just right in its batshit crazy way. IMO.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I never watched Alias (I don't know why, I just didn't) and Lost had its ups and downs. I am with you on the Fringe love. That show really worked for me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I loved every second of Alias (even the terrible season with Vaughn's wife!) but gave up on Lost after S2, and have tried valiantly to watch Fringe 3 times now on Netflix but I always lose interest after 2-3 eps.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade
Fringe , like some other shows, takes a while to find its feet in the first season. I definitely got stuck partway through for a long while, then raced through the rest when it started getting good. You might try jumping to Episode 7, that's when the arc for Season 1 really starts.

LOVED Alias. Even the batshit crazy arcs.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I mostly enjoyed Alias, and then it got to the end of the season, and none of the arcs were resolved, and they just kind of hit the reset button, and it pissed me off.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Alias never worked for me, and LOST somehow kept me watching (for the characters, I guess), but I was stone-cold in love with Fringe almost from the start, and especially after we got seriously into the alternative timelines. I came away with the sense that they respected their viewers, and wanted to play right with the characters, too.
