Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

I get my James Murray viewing from Kröd Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire, which somehow manages to be more believable than Primeval.
I've come to the conclusion that while I love Bryan Fuller shows, I am not a fan of his tacked-on series endings that wrap everything up in a bow in about a minute. Even if Jim Dale did narrate this one.

Art Crawl!!!
Well, if only Bryan Fuller would have a show that lasted through the arc that he had in mind. . .
Is James Murray on Krod Mandoon regularly?

He was in four of the six episodes so far, I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He looks good with the long hair.
So was the scuttlebutt that he was hard to work with, and that Henshall wanted out? Anything on Lucy?

At first, I wondered how patrons got up there. Then I noticed that the right hind leg was an elevator! And the utters were puffing out steam!

I'm grateful that I was not tempted enough by Primeval to ever try it. I loves me some bad SciFi, but the conversation here would lead me to believe it isn't bad enough to be entertaining.
Well, it can be. Comes and goes. They're not good on gender issues particularly (although Abby has apparently learned to wear more than just underpants in the house, yay), and their UK is rather white (although a new cast member is a woman of Middle Eastern descent), and the plot logic is close to Swiss cheese. But they have so much fun with the dinosaurs and mammoths and other critters.
And Rex is adorable. Also in series 3 they introduce these two really cute critters, sort of like badger/ferret things.
And sometimes the story works. And Helen and Lester are both consistently entertaining, in their respective Evil Mastermind and Skeevy Politician ways.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Pushing Daisies: I was NOT satisfied by the ending, but that is because I pine for the piners and therefore apparently ship Olive/Ned.

I appreciated the effort they put into wrapping up as much they could, though -- it was thoughtful closure for the characters and respectful of the fans.
(Would have preferred to have the stuff planned for the next season, though. Ned's father! Olive, dealing with learning about Ned's special power! And you know that Chuck would have separation problems with her aunts when they weren't on tour! And so on!)
I loved, though, that we got a CGI sweeping tour of the places we've been on the show, which made me choke up as much as the actual goodbyes -- and that we got a very last shot of Digby running through the flowers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yup, Theo is me. I think they made a valiant effort scrounging together odds and ends of footage and gave us about as much closure as was possible.
But DAMNIT, next season would have been so good!
