Yeah, I can totally dig that. I always pictured something a bit more steampunk-y, a lot less natural. I dunno.

TRUE. THAT. Same goes for the eventual Fillory sets - I can't wait to see what the rotating castle's going to look like. That visual's always been a personal favorite.

There was that excellent Variety article from a few weeks back interviewing the showrunners for those two, basically talking about how Syfy was shopping around for people who were willing to call Syfy on its post-Galactica slump as harshly as possible. Aside from the fact that both the Expanse and the Magicians have

Report: very naked, very excellent.

Now that'd be something else. *Suddenly, thinly veiled (literally and figuratively) native american allegories start paratrooping in and overwhelm Kara with Kryptonite bullets! (close enough to the Radon bullets from the original series, I figure)*

Well, shit. Those sets are drop-dead gorgeous, to say the least.Between The Expanse and The Magicians, Syfy wasn't kidding when they said they were investing in production values. And Hale Appleman plays a fairly pitch-perfect Eliot, so that's considerably brightening my life. I'm pretty stoked to see where this

If the rest of the series is as gloriously absurd as the pilot, I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy however long Fox keeps this one going until they inevitably pull the plug. I'm giving it 1.5 seasons, liberally.

I was feeling particularly resigned to the vagaries of fate, so I decided to put my media player on shuffle and let it choose my Saturday Morning movie. As usual, this was a godawful decision, as it landed on Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This following last week's choice of 1985's Tuff Turf and the week

I genuinely didn't know that anyone other than people who read the books actually gave a shit about this series. Super sorry you have to go through this crap, but so glad you're part of the family.

I don't doubt that he's a lovely and hardworking individual! It's just that his writing hits literally every single one of my personal-annoyance-buttons. Like, EVERY one. It's almost impressive how the writers managed to make such an unsympathetic character out of such a nice-seeming guy.

Yeah, very true. I guess I'm too jaded by Fox at this point to be adjusted to this new business model. Now, as long as they keep F is for Family, I'll be happy.

I'll be the first to admit that a lot of the characters from the US version of The Office were hit or miss (although I got a laugh out of almost every one at some point or another), but I will always maintain that Kemper's Erin Hannon was by far one of the most excruciatingly godawful characters on the show. I ended

This may enter my "It's Always Sunny" top 10 list by dint of sheer absurdity. Not enough shows do 80's ski parodies. TAKE NOTES, NETFLIX, GODDAMIT.

That's a fantastic way to put it.

I really like the idea of having a direct link to Avasarala on board the Roci. This could be a smooth way to do it, and I'd give enough credit to the screenwriters at this point that they know what the heck they're doing. I've been consistently impressed by the adaptation, considering that they're basically weirdly

Wait shit, seriously? I remember it getting picked up for an HBO style limited run. No objections here, I suppose.

They got like two episodes.Those who got more, said it gets muuuch better as it goes. And it's a short season. (Like 10 episodes).

Eurgh. Not going to be able to un-think-see that one.

Doctor Strange, yeah…?

I snorted milk out of my nose, and I wasn't even drinking milk.
