In all fairness, there were a lot of Transformers with rather unfortunate names, long before the movies, many of which were terrible word plays or seemed made up on the spot by a six-year-old.

I don't think that was a recurring theme in the show as much as it was the main idea behind the initial concept of it (according to a commentary track I heard of Whedon a long time ago).

The Buffy thing always strikes me as a cheap cop-out whenever people use "it's magic!" by means of excusing her scrawniness. I know that pretty much anything can be excused and rationalized to death in a genre show, but I still think making a deep commitment about altering your physique to fit one specific part,…

In movies, sure. I haven't seen much of it in television, unless the actor/actress already fit the physique. (Excepting the occasional extravagant HBO miniseries).

My mistake. Then mainly she needs to bulk up and change her hair. With this being television, however, I expect neither.

She's what, 5'4? And built like a twig?

The main sentiment I was trying to make was that not everything has to be a movie, period. It's Hollywood primarily who are trying to turn everything and it's mother into a movie, so I singled out that particular beast. Hollywood has turned into a well-oiled machine devouring intellectual property and crapping out…

I, for one, am pleased. Pleased, that is, until the project gets picked up by one of the Triumvirate of Tards; Bay, Ratner or McG.

I didn't like any of those shows. Sorry.

Pretty sure that's a mammoth corpse with a bear standing behind it.

*cry*

Freaks and Geeks, the only good high school show ever made.

No! Never!

Now, I do think Fringe is more entertaining than many other genre shows currently airing (take from that what you will), but I do find it indescribably silly and detrimental to my enjoyment whenever characters in the show use the word Walternate. I kinda feel like the special FBI task force should have better things…

Oh, what a tragedy! What a crime against humanity! What a...a...oh who am I fooling.

"Soon I'll be getting my own spin-off show".

Also, I would like to issue one big "I told you so" to those exclaiming how crazy I were for not having any faith in both Winchester actors being a permanent feature in the upcoming animated show!

If it's one thing the Avengers movie needs, it's more cast members!

Pretty cool, but it would be a lot cooler if the whole face suddenly opened up vertically, revealing some kind of terrifying monster jaws.
