Deadline claims Dads is the more likely renewal. I will punch a baby if that happens.

Burning Love season 3 was great, but also kind of left them nowhere to go with those characters in that format so it felt like a natural conclusion. There does need to be more reality TV parody, though—if you haven't seen the Joe Schmo Show yet, it's worth checking out the first couple of seasons.

I'm hoping/expecting it to grow on me eventually; it's just that I was obsessed with 999 and VLR basically as soon as I started them, and while the plot hook is perfect for me (I'm a sucker for anything where the characters are trapped and then die off one at a time) and Monokuma is great, I've yet to really click

I fully expect Hannah to throw herself at Joe to cope with Adam moving out, since the line about Joe taking such good care of her was almost word-for-word what she's said about Adam at earlier points this season, but I'm hoping Joe will turn her down.

Pop culture highlight of the weekend for me was the Veronica Mars movie, which was pretty satisfying. It felt like Veronica Mars, instead of feeling off in the way that TV show revivals sometimes do. I have one specific aspect of the movie that I didn't love, and it's driving me nuts that I don't know where to go to

Had to delay watching this one a bit as I was on a plane when it was on, and given that I have spent the entire season hoping they were building up to this/fearing that they weren't, it's sort of funny timing (given that the plane was coming back from the Veronica Mars movie thing in Austin, and the movie was pretty

Randy's flag-waving, and Pete's subsequent telling him to stop it was my favorite moment. Solid episode, if fairly predictable in spots and suffering from being UNSTUCK IN TIIIIIME due to the excessive episode reordering. But I enjoyed it, the characters are solid, and the gags are generally effective, so.

Glory Days is the blink-and-miss-it series that stuck in my memory.

…and now I feel ridiculously old.

I tried and failed to get into this show during season one, but did wind up watching the finale because it was A Thing for my age group. I did respect Joey ending up with Pacey, because I did know Dawson sucked.

I liked but didn't love the episode; a lot of how I feel about the Adam and Hannah relationship continues to hinge on how it ultimately plays out at the end of the season. Adam getting called away from the awkward phone call by his job, only to later have to drop everything to come rushing after Hannah's

If Wikipedia's production numbers are accurate, this episode was supposed to air before "Randy Get Your Gun", and after whatever we're getting next week. I feel like production order airing would have created better arcs for the characters, and the airing order makes it impossible to really draw character conclusions

Lionsgate did the DVD in the US; I don't know if their rights don't extend to BluRay or if they just don't feel like it's worth the effort. ADV and later A&E have both released the original series repeatedly, so somebody's got to be buying these things; seems like somebody should want to cash in on PKW.

I think a lot would depend on when the effects work entered the picture—something like Babylon 5 holds up remarkably well in the non-effects scenes, since their original film was still available, but falls apart any time a special effect happens because the effects were all created on tape (and the aspect resolution

While there area huge number of steps between script and me getting to see it, I will be so happy if the best sci-fi series whose title starts with F, about a gang of criminals on the run, that was cancelled in 2002 by a network that wronged it only to receive resolution in a one-off project to give its vocal fanbase

If Reign coverage gets cancelled, I'm blaming the glitch after the last episode that put the C-rated episode 2 review in the picture link, instead of the A review for the latest episode.

I think Farscape got axed; I think something popped up when the coverage didn't restart in November saying readership was low and there were discussions of alternatives that would allow for some form of continued coverage? I dunno, losing that AND B5 due to low readership kills me.

Yep; Desi is the first worrying change in Adam and Hannah's relationship after Adam's success in that he's now involved in Adam's life in a way that totally doesn't involve Hannah.

Every episode this season feels silo'd off—you could have stuck Beach House basically anywhere, I think, given the apparent lack of impact of the episode outside of the return of Elijah.

One of my favorite little moments during the blowup was Hannah calling Shosh not an intellectual, which is like the worst insult imaginable if you're Hannah Horvath (and wasn't related to the current discussion so was said solely to hurt), or somebody who cares what Hannah thinks of you, and Shoshanna's lack of upset.
