I mean, Eliot DID have that threesome. But yeah, I certainly don't think this plot point is meant to bring him long-term happiness by any means, so I can't get too upset about him being straight-washed since I'm sure it's just going to lead to more problems in season 2.

Since a couple of other people mentioned the Jungle Book and the Lion King, maybe The Animal Kingdom can be its own storybook realm… then Scar or whoever enacts a curse of his own that turns all of the animals into humans and sends them to a cursed town neighboring Storybrooke. And then the writers milk the hell out…

I don't really get the impression that Acid Betty doesn't create her own looks or that she isn't creative—I think she's just rooted deeply into her whole "acid trip" aesthetic that she likes. I like her aesthetic a lot, but she definitely needs to learn how to be more versatile… Sharon Needles is a good example of…

Generally I agree (especially with the shit in last week's Untucked with Trixie… give it a rest, girl) but her mention in Cynthia's interview and her sweet moment with Chi Chi in this week's Untucked is making me see her in a more positive light. I'm starting to think she's genuinely just oblivious to how she's coming…

Yeah, I already wasn't a big fan of Acid Betty's corrosiveness, but her bullshit in this week's Untucked sealed the deal for me… and it actually made me like Derrick a lot more for standing up to her as a bystander. Like, it wouldn't have been nearly as bad if Acid Betty had said something catty about the makeup AFTER…

I really hope so too, especially after seeing that the quality of acting challenge scripts has not improved whatsoever.

I've been doing that for the first time this season, it really does enhance the experience… at least when the sassy commentary isn't so loud that you can't fucking hear what's on the TV :P

Exactly, and that's why I don't really view Hillary's presence on the show as the rock-solid sign of support that other people are making it out to be. Of course, having a presidential candidate appearing on a TV show in a positive manner is going to have some pretty strong political propaganda implications no matter…

By the same argument, JPEG should be pronounced "Jay-Feg", since it stands for "Joint Photographics Expert Group" and not "Joint Potographics Expert Group".

Yeah, it's pretty obviously for bullshit budget reasons out of universe, but when Rumplestilskin suggested the in-universe possibility that Storybrooke was modeled after the Underworld instead of the other way around, I was like "ohhhhhhh, that would be interesting!" The dark curse creating an artificial hell would be…

Pretty good so far! I haven't read the book, but I'm a sucker for time travel stories, so I'm interested to see where this goes.

For real. At the very least, seeing that Time Itself is perfectly willing to KILL innocent bystanders would do it for me. To be fair though, Jake did reach the same conclusion eventually—it only took someone he KNEW to get hurt before he finally said "nah, I'm OUT". I'm willing to guess something is going to happen in…

I basically binged my way through all 3 seasons of Please Like Me over the past week, and I'm absolutely in love with this wonderfully funny, humane, honest show about a whole bunch of broken people clinging to each other and trying to be liked. I especially love how realistically and it tackles gay relationships and…

They definitely exist in America, and some families may incorporate them into their own traditions… my family will sometimes. They're just not nearly as BIG of a widespread tradition as they seem to be in Britain and Australia, at least if popular media is to be believed (???)

I like Ella fine and think she's generally a pleasant addition to the show (although I can totally see why people see her forced cute quirkiness grating, in much the same way as Clara's early days in Doctor Who) but breaking the giraffe was just awful and not what I would have expected from her. It seems like a far…

I would seriously LOVE Hair Live!, but with all the emphasis on sex and drug use and defying authority I don't especially see it happening on NBC :(

Part of the trap WAS showing him the exit, though—I think this is why it was specifically behind a transluscent-but-impenetrable material, so that he could SEE the exit but not be able to reach it unless he gave his answer. The effectiveness of the confession trap is entirely based around showing the Doctor that the…

Maybe one of the catches to having a protective 25-foot space-diamond wall is that it's much harder to replace than things like flowers and dirt? I dunno.

*the Doctor reels in horror when he sees the word SPAMBOT written in dust*

Yessssssss. That's the one I've shown to at least a few people who had trouble getting into Doctor who… it is just SUCH a good psychological drama, and you don't have to be at all familiar with the show to follow what's going on.
