There has been a slight renaissance with using Toronto as Toronto in recent years (Scott Pilgrim is the best example for non-Canadian-types), with writers/directors/producers basically saying, "hey, we have this great city, why don't we show it off?"  But I haven't seen anything similar with Vancouver, outside of…

Also, I'm absolutely certain it won't be used primarily to fund "co-productions" done almost entirely overseas.

Ooh, burn.

There's also a metric crap ton of shitty cable reality shows that try really hard to never mention where they are filmed.  The ones that come to mind are the urban legend shows that were on TLC or something a few years back, but there are a ton of them.  They are basically filmed to meet CanCon requirements for the…

Only on Gallifrey.

I felt like James Lipton was wasted here, like he should have done the Proust questionnaire as the interview questions or something.

I don't think the big envelope/little envelope distinction really holds anymore.  It certainly did for a moment in the 1990s, when there was a much higher reliance on physical material, but now it's much more like "So, go to our website if you have questions…" or, if they really want to send you hard copies of stuff,…

If I were being especially uncharitable, I might mention season 2 of Buffy.  The first half of the season was pretty weak, with a few standouts, while the back half was amazingly good television, with a few week points.  I might give an F to "Killed by Death"; without rewatching it's hard for me to say which two eps I…

Damn do I want to watch these pilots.

This feels like the plot to the sequel to The Wedding Bride, where Chris Kattan as Ted Mosby ruins yet another wedding.

Yeah, why read posts about and comment on a show you "gave up on" four or five seasons ago?  If you don't like the show, then you don't have to watch it or comment about it.  Like @avclub-0beb34df7e9615cd43b9090989ca4848:disqus said, a lot of us still find it pretty funny, even if we're sometimes frustrated with the…

@avclub-92eadcfdb6a214b044c116a8e2245947:disqus I assumed he couldn't just leave the potion in his shop, because magic wouldn't work there.  They said previously that magic only worked in Regina's underground layer, which presumably connected to the library basement somehow.

I could understand Emma's rage there. She was nearly cursed-to-death herself, and instead her son was the innocent bystander who got cursed-to-death instead.  Also, if she just realized magic was real, she would realize how insipidly useless the court system would be (esp. since how could she prove the cursing?).

@avclub-4ed968405ff26213223a2d7a1a9b2831:disqus - Exactly.  No way is Henry's dad just some random schmo.
