    This can't be real, it reads like some sort of Dadaist parody of modern hookup frat boy culture.

    The show's two actors of color, Aaron Yoo (Russell) and Madeleine Mantock (Astrid) do a lot with the requisite "providing emotional support and quirky humor" roles that their non-European heritages consign them to, and show early signs of becoming the two most interesting characters on the show.

    The Tumbler chase scenes from Nolan's Batmanverse easily join the ranks of the old classics. Modern classics. The first one in Batman Begins had "wow" factor - The Dark Knight's upped the action even more with guns and stuff, but the initial shock of how cool it was is great, just this walking message, "criminal

    How the hell will this compete with Teen Wolf?

    I'm happy to see he used the Quenya versions of the names. None of that Sindar trash gutterspeak. "Ithil" my ass, it's called ISIL.

    Video didn't load properly in my original post:

    The shift to Informative/Educational around the year 2000 was a massive game-changer.

    Actually, Disney's Atlantis only came out in 2001. That's just 12 years ago.

    For reasons already given elsewhere, I'd be at the helm of BSG at the end of Season 2, so I could fix the final two awful seasons.

    To accommodate those who disagree with me, I'd have two alternate scenarios:

    1 - My preference is to stick to a hardcore military scifi show based on hyper-realism, documentary style, and to

    "For over 2,000 counts of murder, and associated charges that pale in comparison to 2,000 counts of murder, you are sentenced to death. Any last words, Joker?"
    "I know Jesus has forgiven me"

    Isn't that always the case.

    Batman doesn't kill his enemies because it is unlawful for him to pass a permanent judgement. He captures criminals, then the law decides to give them 10 to 20 years in prison. It would be equally unlawful for Batman to....keep a private Silence of the Lambs style prison in the Batcave, Bat-Gitmo, to hold criminals

    "That's one hell of an act. What do you call it?"

    "The Aristocrats"

    I felt it was a good episode.

    As a classic novel, I could see "Carrie" as becoming like "Pride and Prejudice" - they make a new remake every 20 years, but it's more little details. Like, there are alternate productions of "Macbeth" which tweak little details, or it's seeing different actors in the roles.
    This might be why the trailers for Carrie

    at 2:58 it doesn't mention that this is the plant elemental from Hellboy II - though admittedly so much was going on on-screen that there may have just been no room for the title.

    So the short list of problems longrunning shows encounter:
