I don’t necessarily agree with that in every case.

Alfred Hitchcock threw out just about everything but the premise when adapting Strangers on a Train. He fundamentally changed the thematic arc of the novel.

But both works are excellent, despite their differences.

I don’t necessarily agree that an adapter owes the…

Have you ever read The Godfather? If Coppola had filmed it as written, there’d have been a 45 minute digression about Sonny’s girlfriend seeking to get vaginal rejuvenation surgery

Once you sell the rights to said book, it ain’t yours any more. If Gaiman was so protective of it, he ought to have funded it and shopped it around on his own.

The first season already improved on the book, and I’m more of a Fuller kind of person than Gaiman (who’s a bit overrated to me).

Gaiman ought to have just cashed his fucking checks an shut his fucking mouth. I imagine Fuller and Green improved his book, which got really silly at times and not in a fun way.

Betty: “We live next door to one another, so there’s nothing strange about you walking me to school. Even if he’s watching us.”

God I wish somebody had followed up with “What about when the President bragged on the radio about walking in on topless underage beauty contestants? Which several contestants corroborated? Was he lying then? Or is the White House willing to concede that that wasn’t just “locker room talk”, but repeated sexual…

Ummmmmmm... No mention of this in the review which surprises me. Can we talk about Kara not just killing White Martians, but doing it very casually? They were the bad guys, yes. They’ve committed genocide, yes. But it’s still very, very weird to see Supergirl kill without giving it a second thought.

Yeah but Maggie’s story about her dad dropping her off at her aunt’s house on the side of the road was just as heartbreaking as watching Hank/J’onnz mind meld flashback

This may sound weird, but Michael’s first apology felt sincere to me— he was saying it sarcastically in order to distance himself from the discomfort of its truth.

The second apology felt insincere to me, because it seemed so out of character for Michael to give a sincere apology, so it felt immediately suspect, and…

This is going to be the weirdest love triangle ever.

I really love how Betty is exceptionally savage.

I just want to point out that we don’t know for sure that Moose and Midge are dead. We just know that they got shot. Multiple times from extremely close range, but then again, people have survived much worse.

So. Fucking. Extra.

And there was Cheryl’s dramatic entrance of the week

“ What was the point of the embarrassing dance-off between Cheryl and Veronica? “

It. Was. Both. Things.

I loved Betty and Kevin both freaking out when Hiram showed up at the school and Veronica called him “daddy.” I’m not even sure if it was because they were shocked to see him, or because she used the term “daddy.” Either way it was great.

“Another B&V adventure. They should make a video game about you guys.”
“You’re the one that looks like a dream warrior from The Nightmare On Elm Street 3.”
Jingle-Jangle has got to be the most ridiculous drug name. But I knew Pixie Sticks were drugs.
“Why do you need uppers wonder bread?” My favorite line of the episode,…

Archie: “First you got shot, then Miss Grundy is killed. What if someone is going after the people I care about?”
