i don't know if talking to the guy would help, since he heavily implied that he really did kill his brother and being misled into the act is why he wants revenge against the gang.

"hoo-WEE you're good-lookin'!"

oh, true. brady bunch broke the mold. i think i didn't even think of them because they're a straightup sitcom and the ironic reboot trend quickly veered to action/crime (charlie's angels, 21 jump street, starsky and hutch, chips, now baywatch).

it started with charlie's angels, really. that was the first breakout reboot to parody the original. hollywood saw the dollar signs, then the formula clicked into place and there's no getting away from it.

it is harder for a Joan B-story to be integrated into the A-story without falling into the "bumbling-Watson trope"

cable's parentage is listed as "it's complicated". madelyn pryor got knocked up by scott summers and gave birth to him, but it was jean grey whose consciousness transported 5000 or whatever years into the future to raise him with scott. and also madelyn is jean's clone. so, mostly jean. but madelyn, too. (EDIT: and i…

what you're describing isn't a partnership, it's a mentorship. there's a reason it was supposed to mean something when sherlock admitted he was going to ask kitty to be his partner. it's a different dynamic, and that's what they've decided to highlight for this holmes and watson. each adaptation has a unique take on…

didn't the cylons end up being our ancestors? athena anyway?

very well said. i actually enjoyed this movie quite a bit because of sarah and pops.

season one was literally the story of two people becoming partners.

were you unhappy with the first season? that's really all she envisions.

yeah, bbc definitely doesn't get off scot-free there. i stopped watching ages ago, but i heard this recent season was particularly bad for watson. i still think that in the first few seasons he's given far more room to express himself and exist as a flawed human being than joan is.

i agree with your complaint (at least for moffat watson), but i disagree that it speaks to exactly what i said. joan is a consulting detective as opposed to a doctor who hangs out at crime scenes. also unlike the other watsons, she has very little of her own. instead of getting to see her medical practice, we see…

false. everything could be improved by more marcus bell.

also i'd argue that ritchie and moffat's holmes adaptations give watson more of a chunk of the narrative than elementary does with far less time to go around, so the argument that "everything has to be about sherlock holmes in an ACD adaptation" doesn't hold water.

in before "this just in: the reviewer thinks a sherlock holmes story shouldn't revolve around sherlock! because who ever thinks to develop more than one character amirite. and anyway this is canon."

you should hunt down this video essay comparing jackie chan's fight scenes in his chinese-made movies as opposed to his american ones. editing has never been so fascinating. anyway one of the points they make is that american movies cut around the blow, giving you the wind-up and they often shifting to another angle…

i'd say almost famous and say anything stand up

one of the most navel-gazing overrated pieces of tripe, meh

the conservatives have managed to spin social safety net with claims that they're full of fraud, going to "illegals" and criminals, of no particular benefit, maintaining a welfare state by keeping recipients from being motivated to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and above all, coming out of the taxpayers'…
