Hoo boy, we saw a trailer for it before Ender's Game this weekend, and I could NOT STOP GIGGLING. It's—SEXY FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER (BUT THEY CALL HIM FRANKENSTEIN BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE DUMB). Ooh, look at those ABS! Look at his ANGST! Look at the BAD, REALLY BAD CGI! Van Helsing looks like Jurassic Park compared to this

YOU ARE A BRAVE FUCKER AND I WOULD LET YOUR 13-YR OLD SELF BABYSIT MY BABIES ANY DAY

Nah, sorry, but I do have a funny sort of related story: I posted a picture of me, my husband, and our new baby on facebook about a week after she was born. My sister commented, "Who took this picture?" Like, no "Cute baby!" or anything, just "Who took this picture?"
So I replied, "Our cat," because it was clearly

:( But I'm 28 and not an actor on a CW drama, so I'm a little old for prom. I KNOW there are fancy people who are my age who get to go to balls! Usually they are fundraisers, I guess. And not the kind where if you're poor and donate $20 you get to attend.

NERD PARTY YES PLS SIGN ME UP IMMEDIATELY

over... the... pants... hand... job? did i get it right?

And then all the privileged adults who were trained since birth to scorn anyone who dared to step a toe out of line from the norm raise their hands up and agree with each other, yes, yes, of course, why would you name your child anything different or unusual? Such things are not acceptable! Fall in line! Humbug! And

See, on the one hand, yes exactly. On the other hand, I really wish I could go to a fancy ball in a pretty dress. DAMN Cinderella story worming its way into my brain as a child!

Whoa, we're really missing Sleepy Hollow, aren't we? Glad I'm not the only one!

Me. *sigh*

Valid criticism, sir. Valid criticism. Maybe make him mute? Or what if he goes evil and then Coulson (or Melinda May, who never really trusted him anyway, hahaha yes) has to kill him? That would be good.

No no no, here's what they should do:

I think that, besides Coulson, that Melinda May is pretty much the only interesting character on the show (and that's mainly because she's mysterious and the actress is great). Everyone else is just... pretty terrible. They keep missing opportunities to actually develop the Comic Relief Science Duo, Generic Whitedude

She's so great, isn't she?!?! My husband has no interest in this show, and his main comment after I made him watch the pilot was, "She is way too good for this show." They found the perfect actors for both roles, and it seems like both actors make more out of every moment in the show than most actors in any show. The

I immediately thought, they're doing a spookier version of Once Upon a Time, mainly because Sleepy Hollow seems to be the same sort of random mish-mash of a bunch of different ideas, just using supernatural and apocalyptic tropes instead of fairy tales.

I took it as a sort of rule in the world of Sleepy Hollow, that apparently witches must be burnt in order to kill them. Of course, it didn't actually work in the show, but I can see it as being a sort of "rule of thumb" for people who fight supernatural forces. Like silver bullets for werewolves, stake through the

I LOVE MY HUSBAND I LOVE MY HUSBAND I LOVE MY HUSBAND

I like the direction this is going, yes, yessss... I need to read some comics, I guess!

Hm, could be good. Less likely to freak out her big sister!

EXACTLY. And I don't have time to make that!
