The reboot was amazing, particularly for the feud between Paul and Nicole: "I will kill you while you sleep. I can do it and not leave any forensic evidence."
"All you are is talk!"
"Okay, wake up dead."

But isn't the shitty cop-out ending itself a Lord Of The Flies reference? Some guy turns up on the last page from a ship that happened to be passing and saw the island on fire. I mean, what are we to believe, this was some kind of magic ship or something? Boy, I hope William Golding got fired for that blunder!

I believe the correct answer is in fact "cool story bro".

It was quite fun seeing her get more airtime in this one episode than she got in the whole of SJDS though.

Except Terry, who doesn't seem to have aged at all.

Agreed. I don't think Vytas was wrong to say in his post-elimination confessional that he was voted out because he's a threat, but I think the full reason that he was voted out was because he's a threat AND a skeeze.

Oh, Oliver, it's not DJ Skat Kat, it's MC Skat Kat! That's a rookie mistake.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really miss those goofy "tell us five things about yourself before the buzzer sounds" videos they used to do. And I really miss the assigned pairs - it was fun to watch certain dancers build up chemistry together and to debate how well they'd fare when they were separated. Like

Upvoted for "Broni Friendzoni". Would upvote twice if possible.

How dare we form opinions based on that thing specifically intended for the viewing public to form their opinions on!

Lava lamps with tarantulas in them? Aieeeeeee!

Especially since starting a sentence "oh golly" is the least supervillainous thing you could do.

Agreed - the first episode felt so leaden, and I think a large part of that was nobody else dying, as callous as that sounds. It's a slasher series! Start slashing already!

The whole thing got aired on ITV2 in the UK, making this one of the rare occasions where we were actually less classy than the Fox network.

Except I doubt she would've got the prize money since Fox never aired the finale. Isn't there usually a clause in the contract that prevents the production company from having to pay out prizes if those episodes aren't broadcast?

I have a similar, possibly connecting, theory that the rot really set in when they started actually putting "d'oh" in their episode title puns instead of "[annoyed grunt]".

That's exactly it. The script is generally terrible and the pacing is generally terrible, but I'll put up with anything to hear Sir Ian McKellen say "bitch, please!" while Frances De La Tour sexually harasses Iwan Rheon on the other side of the room.

I mean I've tried the stuff you Americans call "chocolate" and I'm pretty sure there's no chocolate in any of it.

I love that she both answered it properly AND took the time to detail Mystique's biggest failing as a villain. What a woman.

She's the main reason I'm still watching. Carol could be such a shitty character in the hands of a lesser actress, but she just plays her so perfectly that I'm sticking with this show for as long as she does.
