I liked the fact that the Ginger Cow looked like Matt Stone. And I laughed at the Van Halen bit. Aside from that… eh.

Yeesh, I had (somewhat) high hopes for that one… Seems to me nothing really worked, this week. The CGI were even less polished than usual, the art direction & costumes were even tackier than usual, the dialog was even flatter than usual (and man, was there a lot of it), the Charmings were even less interesting than…

Eh… Babylon Fields really was ahead of its time… (though apparently it seems to have been… hum… resurrected this month, according to wiki)

Honestly, I'd say your enjoyment of Arrow is highly dependent on your enjoyment of the cast.

I've noticed this too, but since I didn't care too much about it, i've dismissed it as "it's not a pump-action sound, but a break-open-to-check-if-it's-loaded sound".

Meh, it was quite obvious, especially since they had Coulson repeat twice (and Ming Na once) that he was "rusty".

Actually, the "teaching the n00b a special move that will save her life later in the episode" was even worse than just obvious, since the writers/director clearly tried to make it look like Skye was double-crossing the Shield, with dramatic music, and so on…

This was just… eh. More enjoyable to me than the first 2 eps, but still filled with problems, both in the writing & the overall production (I love me some Bear McCreary, but his SHIELD work is just off topic, and trying way too hard to make a mundane, half-hearted spy show, look UBEREPIC!!). Also, speaking of someone…

Selfridge is ITV/PBS, The Paradise is BBC. Selfridge vs Paradise is like the Dante's Peak vs Volcano of british department-store-shows…

I know standards are low when it comes to CW and genre shows, but still : "amazing genre shows" ? The best I can say about those three shows is that they can be good here and there, and have been, as a whole, above average, but that's far from "amazing", in my book.

I quite enjoyed the first two seasons of Young Dracula, for what they were : a light, kids comedy about vampires, with a talking stuffed wolf to boot. I went into it not expecting much, and was pleasantly surprised (it helps that, even taking into account its weaknesses, YD was still miles better than anything…

Interesting thing with the show is that it never takes itself too seriously. Debbie Moon is a Whedon fan, and his shadow is all over the place, down to the Buffy/Willow/Xander/Angel (+Cordelia) vibe of the main characters.

Yeah, the fact that the winner was not the contestant (Lindsey) that had the killer identified for the whole duration of the game, but just the fittest, fastest player (who could neither guess the killer, nor manage to read the freakin' fine print on a contract despite being a lawyer, and being instructed to do so)…

Uh… the final shot WAS necessary. Not to show that the teacher was dead, but to show that she was "B" (it's written on the necklace that's right in the middle of the frame, near the slit throat). "B", as in "the B Bradley's father was writing to".
