Ever since I found it I've loved Angel more than Buffy, although they are both generally very good shows. I'm introducing a friend to Angel (who hasn't actually seen much of Buffy, but has heard me prosthelytize about Angel plenty of times), and although the first season is rough at times I'm reminded constantly of

I prefer the Multi-Layered Meat Feast from Bleak Expectations.

It was starting off somewhat reasonably - the powers were making her crazy and paranoid, and were possibly even painful, and so she was willing to turn to Alchemy's team to get the release she needed. It made a certain amount of sense, and worked as a transition to get her to turn against her friends. Buuuuuut what we

Bloody hell. Okay, you win, you've gone too crazy to debate.

'A day is a day, not a month or a year'… yeesh. There's a worrying amount of nonsense creeping into your messages; I'm concerned for your mental health. (And I don't need to validate it by 'judging your posting history', because that would be crazy and creepy.)

1) She left her clearly distraught sister and upturned kingdom and proclaims that she has a new 'kingdom of isolation'. She's rejecting her responsibilities so that she can be alone without having to worry about them. She's 'never going back' - she doesn't want anything to do with what she's left behind. Factual

Everybody gets one.

That's interesting to know; it's well known that Lasseter made both Cars films as passion projects, your response is kind of proof positive (if it were needed) that he does know what he's doing, and made a story well-suited to car enthusiasts.

Yeah, there is an argument that they needed a new title to make the story seem new and appealing (especially as they already have 'Mickey and the Beanstalk' in their back catalogue). But their initial press release said they wanted it to be the definitive Jack and the Beanstalk… which they've guaranteed it won't be by

You think laziness can be intentional? 'Love is an Open Door' rhymes the central phrase three times, and TWICE it rhymes it with 'more'. It's uninterested in finding anything evocative; the words are just a filler to match the music, and not even interesting filler. And the other lyrics don't make up for it - for

Her, it's a husband and wife team - Robert Lopez is a decent composer who has worked on a number of great musicals. Kristen Anderson-Lopez is a terrible lyricist who can barely manage multi-syllabic words and is so unimaginative she rhymed 'door' with 'more' five times in the space of four songs. The lyrics to both

Yeah, 'Tangled' at least has a few connotations with some bearing on the plot (though I'm sure there's a better title for it somewhere). 'Brave' is ridiculously irrelevant to its plot and themes. 'The Bear and the Bow' is about the central conflict of the movie as an image and as a metaphor; it references not only two

The composer is fine. It's the lyricist who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near musicals.

And songs by the team behind Frozen. Hard pass.

As a character arc it would in theory be an interesting one, changing someone who was compassionate about the Hosts (to the point of abandoning the human he arrived with) into someone who could so easily rape and murder them. Turning a white hat into a black hat - that's a good arc.

I'm right with you. It's an interesting enough concept that I'm curious what they had planned for their season finale so I'll carry on for the last couple of episodes, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to stand a second season of it. Unless the plot speeds and smartens up considerably over the next two

But as the reviewer says, so much of it just feels like filler. Think about Maeve's story, think about how much screentime she's had in the last five or so episodes. Now think about where she is at the end of this episode… has she actually come all that far? Every scene with her is presented as a big change without

I really hate the bland and unevocative one-word title trend that seems so popular with so many production studios today… and yet I must confess, as a guy, I'm not sure I'd like 'Rapunzel' as much as I love 'Tangled'. And 'Frozen' has so little in common with its source material that a new [bland] title was perhaps in

"Balls"

What really bugs me about 'Let It Go' is that it's presented as an equivalent of 'Defying Gravity', not just sharing the performer but also deliberately emulating that 'End of Act 1' feeling (and I believe it's even been name-checked by the writers as inspiration), which would be fine… except for a couple of important
