The "behind the scenes" explained why I didn't care for it - the director wanted to create a bunch of "still life" shots, to make it clear how Richard II saw himself as a divine, holy figure. So they did exactly that - a bunch of visually pleasing scenes where no one moves while they're talking.

Yeah - I actually enjoyed Scrubs for several seasons. He was a good at the caricature faces, which is what you need for a show that is made up mostly of internal monologues and cut away jokes.

Gah! We've heard you say that a million times!

So it's Gossip Girl all over again.

During my allotted ten minutes of not hate-watching, I don't even pretend like I could wear anything on the catwalk. It's the only sane way.

I know I'm not supposed to like it, but the props and costume work in the VS fashion show is truly impressive. Those headdresses and simply insane craft projects strapped to variants of Amazon and nymph are worth at least ten dedicated minutes of respect.

Now that is an interesting question. It's a little dog catching its own tail - how much does the audience really want to know?

Shhh shhh Don't worry, little scientist. Someday you'll write all the wrongs…

That sounds a little terrifying - I mean, if I want to put a twist in my stories, then I get to. Why do I have to try and out think everyone? I never will, and I'll wind up not writing (been there - it's a terrible place).

Exactly true. But then, when the audience is sort of in the next room/your back pocket, it can be difficult not to think of them when writing.

See I don't see how that follows. Is it bad because a twist is obvious? Can't an obvious twist work if the characters are engaging? Or a predictable story if it's told well?

If I'm interested in a show or movie, I try to avoid spoilers (and overly-invested comment sections). But I find spoilers to be useful if I'm not really invested. It provides me a rough framework of what to expect. The Walking Dead would be my example. I have never read the books, but I don't mind having future plot…

It's ok - let it all out.

I'm glad he addressed it.

Yes - the costume designer is fantastic. I love her blog.

Bah. I can't stand it when walkers are suddenly fast and coordinated. That whole thing with Maggie was absolutely ridiculous - how could she climb a ladder wrong? And Deana's death was such a waste - all she's done is wander around like a zombie this whole time already, save for one furious sketching of garden plots.…

Thank you. That made the angriest - not even the tactics of the "survivors," but the fact that all at once, with one section of wall down, five thousand zombies just sprinted through town. Must be a downhill slope…

They are - I wondered about that as a kid. I honestly thought that the point of shaving was just to really clean one's legs, since it didn't look like she was doing anything.

Because Carol, while incredibly efficient,is also is far more likely to just kill someone out of convenience. That's not someone you want watching your back, and I think the group knows it.

I've held that Carol's "kill everyone in my way" is actually her schtick - that's who she is, and viewer's give her too much credit because she admittedly has saved everyone before. She gets a pass for that.
