Soooo, I thought the special effects were pretty cheesy/obviously green screened, and I pretty much groaned aloud when they started playing the theme music in a minor key to signal "seriousness" and "threats approaching." Yes, the ice anchor sweep was cool, but otherwise I was basically bored to sobs.

Does anyone else think Fenton is a supposed to be a stand-in for Renfield? Or do you think we'll meet Renfield later, assuming the Master is Dracula and not the Egyptian god whose name I'm too lazy to look up. . . .

No Penny Dreadful coverage? I am confused. I think it's airing.

I am patient. I am not kind. But I do think that the new cast is mostly growing, especially Aidy Bryant who is owning all the sexy-freaky stuff, and I will give the new lead writers time to figure their shit out.

As I say every week: Hate. Quinn. Hate.

. . . & then there were five.

Great review, Sonia; thanks.

Will. Joni Mitchell wrote "Woodstock"; Crosby Stills Nash & Young covered it.

Oh, Donna. ". . . [Ted's] head
is immediately turned by the flirtatious Cassie (Anna Camp from Pitch Perfect)," when I believe you meant to say Anna Camp, the amazing Sarah Newlin in True Blood. Seriously, just find a supercut of Sarah Newlin saying things/killing people with actual stilettos on True Blood, and it

Hello, the WASPs pretty much invented that one. . .

They'll come back to it, I'm sure

So. . .  Martha still hasn't figured out Clark's hair is a wig?  What, she never touches it?  Oy vey.

So I kinda hate Stan.

apropos of nothing:  Jesse got fatter and Hank got skinnier

Dick in a box, hehe

If the battle of Castle Black is delayed until S04E09, when will we have the delightful marriage of Joffrey to Margery??

Ahem.  We did not use the word "hip" in 1994.  I speak for my people.  Things were cool or they were not.

Margarine as "healthier" is waaaaay older than the 70s/80s; goes back to
just after WWII, when "they" were trying to continue to have people buy
it after rationing was lifted and folks could buy butter widely again.
