I also read it as she didn't know who was there and assumed she wanted it to be Duncan. Duncan was "the one who got away" and the writers had been pushing for the Veronica/Duncan pairing since the pilot. I don't think Logan/Veronica was planned from the beginning, but the actors' chemistry made them realize they had…

What's weird is I don't think of myself as someone who likes horror films, but I love Carpenter's films. Does that mean I actually do like horror films or are Carpenter's films just so much better that they transcend genre a bit?

I don't think I've ever seen Starman, but I have a very vivid childhood memory of a cardboard cut out of Jeff Bridges from Starman at the front entrance of our local video store. They kept it up for almost five years.

Totally agree @avclub-0b96d81f0494fde5428c7aea243c9157:disqus Maybe ED got some acting lessons between her stints on the show?

Here, Here!

I did not like Faith at all when she first showed up in Buffy. In fact, I hated her and thought Dushku was a terrible actor. Imagine my surprise when I realized how excited I was to have Faith back when she woke up in Season 4 of Buffy. I'm not sure when my feelings toward her changed, but after her redemption arc on…

I wouldn't say that the Power Rangers are completely forgotten. My nephew, who is almost three, loves them. He has a lot of the toys and I assume watches it through Netflix since I have no idea if they still air any episodes on TV. The yellow ranger, whom he refers to as "yellow man" (insert racist joke here) is his…

Count me in as someone who finds Zooey Deschanel annoying and kind of vacant and a bad actor. Granted I am basing this mostly on her performance in Hitchhikers Guide, which might not be entirely fair, but whenever I ask someone why they like her as an actress it seems to boil down to: "ooh big eyes."

I agree Gordon. This was the most difficult stretch for me to watch and (SPOILERS) they really take their time in reuniting Appa and Aang. Most TV shows would have resolved in two or three episodes max. It was kind of excruciating.

Hell no. An academic walking around a library unsupervised, pulling books off the shelf, not putting them back correctly, eating in the stacks, probably writing in the books, it is every librarian's worst nightmare. And the owl librarian seems particularly annoyed by people abusing his collection. I'm guessing he was…

I agree @avclub-d80ecbbbef6ab40a4e53d1ad2c3fc1b2:disqus . Iroh doesn't do the usual "diversity" speech that you find in tv shows, which basically boils down to "we're all alike on the inside." No, Avatar is better than that. They are saying that we are all different, fundamentally so, but that doesn't make one person…

I'll admit being an actual librarian it always makes me cringe a bit when librarians are portrayed as evil and scary. However, Wan Shui Tan gets a pass because 1) he is not human 2) he has a reason to get pissed off (don't steal things from the library kids) and 3) he is pretty awesome.

I feel like BB is when Avatar action sequences took a big leap in quality. The action sequences before this point are good, but BB and many of the ones after are really fantastic and inventive. Is this because we are seeing more earthbending? Is earthbending just inherently cooler than water bending?  I think it might…

Yeah, she's probably my favorite character in the show. Although it's a tough call between her and Iroh. SPOILER

Amadeus becomes even more interesting when you realize that the main conflict isn't between Mozart and Salieri, but between Salieri and God. Salieri doesn't want to destroy Mozart, he wants to destroy God by killing His greatest musical creation Mozart. Amadeus is basically the Moby Dick of musical biopics.

I continued catching up on John Carpenter films that I never watched in my youth. This weekend was "The Thing" which was my favorite so far (have already seen Escape from NY, They Live, and Big Trouble in Little China). Great, great movie, and made me wish I hadn't missed so many of these when I was younger. I used to…

Yeah, I love how much characterization they are able to give to Appa. VAGUE SPOILER It definitely makes the events later in season 2 that much more heartbreaking.

The first time I watched Cave of Two Lovers I was ready to hate it, especially when the hippies first started singing and I was just waiting for some terrible crap, folk-like music and moral lessons about the importance of love. To my pleasant surprise and amusement, the songs and many other parts are completely…

Sorry I didn't add SPOILERS TO THE ABOVE POST. Since I thought this would be a Spoiler thread.

The only episode where I thought Connor worked was the birth of Jasmine when he talks to Darla. It is the only time I actually felt any kind of empathy for him, and then he ruined it by being an ass. I also follow the Avatar write ups, and if you want to see the redemption of a moody teenage character done right,…
