Adlind's long series of bullshit tasks to get her powers back was just so over the top. I really was expecting Ashton Kucher to show up and yell "You got punk'd! You'll never be a hexenbeist again! Ha-ha!"

Cordelia doesn't have to know what he actually does. It's a good policy for mass murders (serial killers or hitmen, whatever) to lie about what they do to the people close to them. It's also a good policy to lie to their victims, so again, just because he told Breckenridge he worked for the US Department of…

Given Cordelia's remark about Hank's contracts out of town, and the presence of a stereotypical silencer, I think we're meant to understand that Hank is a hitman, not a serial killer. I could be wrong of course.
In that context, I didn't particularly mind the weirdness of the dialog. They'd met on the internet, and…

Oops. Thanks.

Ok, I have to ask: Pete enumerates various wrongs, including how a neighbor stole his wife.
I may have missed this in a previous episode, but which wife was this? I assume Jackie since she seems that flighty sort who'd fall for a neighbor's line.

Awesome. Now I can resolve every story I ever write with the good guys drowning the radioactive bomb in water. And I can cite back to goobdefa to back me up.

I think some other YA author wrote I Know What You Did Last Summer, except the final film looked nothing like the original book, and said author (Not RL Stine) was unhappy.

They had me at "also wrote Beaches."

Yeah, but expecting it to not be deliberately awful is within reason.

Huh, now that you mention it, my wife and I did have that "yeah she's back" conversation when we watched the premiere. And a review of Wikipedia states that she was the person who took Zoe to the school in the first place.

While I tend to agree with you, a counter-argument might be that Frances Conroy has been in the opening credits since the first episode, and she has yet to actually appear.

They still aren't edited for content, which is nice.

It's only been in the last three that they actually cut to commercial, though. Before that, they ran the movies uncut, and then crammed in like 20 minutes or so of commercials before the next movie. I could live with that.

Well, in fairness, they do take great pains to point out he is a "maniac" cop, as opposed to the fine hard working, and presumably non-maniac cops who risk life and limb for us.

Oh, sure, that's why I concentrate on October and then don't really bother with such films throughout the rest of the year.

I have not seen TotDN in any form. And now it is in the "saved" section of my Netflix queue. I feel thwarted.

Speaking for myself, I find cult classics and grindhouse cheese more enjoyable to watch around Halloween than "good" horror movies. That might be just because Halloween offers a built-in excuse to waste my time on crappy horror movies that isn't available the rest of the year.

Is that on a 1-5 scale?

Since O'Neal name dropped Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, I'd like to take a moment to boost my own street cred by stating that I have seen that movie, and enjoyed it and, recommend it.

I don't know why. Renminibi are much more colorful and pleasing to the eye than the US dollar.
