It aired on Showcase two or three months back here in Canada—a basic cable station that does have commercials but they seem to have only as many as the original showing on ITV does. I enjoyed it a lot—I know many seem to think season 2 was a failure on all levels, but I was mostly good with it, but I admit the new…

I'm a massive Summer fan but I do agree. To be fair her other disco stuff isn't particularly compelling so she never drew from its success. She has a terrific early 70s album, Sunshower, writtenand produced by Jimmy Webb but I believe it's only on CD in a Japanese remaster.

As a big disco geek I tend to shy away from its one-hit wonders—there's so much good stuff out there that flew under the radar and only made an impact in clubs (Alec Costandinos, Cerrone, Boris Midney, even a lot of more mainstream stuff like works Moroder produced for) but I'm shocked none of the obvious big disco…

I remember at my 7th birthday party playing Monster Mash on repeat so much that the other kids were asking me to stop… Ah, good times…

That said, I am still wondering about *all* of the tv shows that fetishize gay sex for straight women viewers… Because obviously I'm watching the wrong tv shows.

Fair point… (but as a teen, I never knew that…)

I kinda liked the novel—I think that's a reason to do a new version of a badly adapted novel.

What's kinda ironic and annoying is while talking about her story, Yetide tries to talk several times, but instead it is Bryan, Neil and even Emily who comment on her story…

Ent Weekly has done little 10 minute interview videos after every episode with members of the cast and Fuller and Green (and co-hosted by Orlando Jones) that are, rare for EW anymore, actually worth watching. The finale has Gaiman as well as a little bit of talk from Yetide Badaki (OK, no talk…) about her character…

Oh, I agree of course about book vs tv especially for her, but the review sorta implied that somehow her role is diminished from what it was (I may be reading that unfairly).

Exactly—it was still much more Monroe than Garland. Garland was actually, if you really look at her performances, a rather *earthy* performer (of course this became much more apparent in the final decade of her life, but still).

Oh, absolutely.

Right. As I said elsewhere, when people had some sense of who she was they seemed to worship and, yes, sacrifice themselves to her out of some sort of choice.

Yes, she does. But I feel it's a point that should be tempered with some qualifiers that she completely ignores.

Right—I haven't re-watched, but I did remember that Git Gone was the previous one with the longest "wide screen" section— But that made immediate sense to me—as it went to fullscreen the moment it picked up in the "now" more or less (ok give or take a bit) with what had happened in the previous episode. That said, I…

As a Lucci fan, I kinda resent that comment ;) But I completely agree—if anything Jenner seems to go out of her way to fit the conventional image of womanhood as much as possible—it's one thing many people in the LGBT (fairly or not) find particularly annoying. I can't paraphrase the quote, but I think she has even…

I did too but I suspect his reunion won't go as easily as Salim wants

It's still unclear—but I wonder if, at least initially like in the orgy scene, they were almost willing sacrifices? They obviously knew or thought of her as a God (and kings, it said, wanted to challenge that). When people stop believing in her she has to seek out and trick people to feed her—no longer are people…

It was unclear—but what I got from it was she was watching that woman she had come on to at the Tehran disco (wait—was it the same woman? That seems a crazy stretch, but…) sick in hospital with AIDS. With the narration (and I'll have to re-watch to get this straight) I assumed the implication was how one of the…

I admit, I was kinda hoping in that final shot with the bus passing The House on the Rock sign we woulda seen Salid's cab drive by as well…
