I must have missed the Kristin Kreuk wu xia. That was probably one of those long stretches where I had come to my senses and given up on the show.

Sorry to veer off topic a bit, but Zack, please fix this horrifying apostrophe abuse in the next-to-last paragraph: "The fact that Morn pulled off this whole scheme to screw over his former
associates and make sure he ended up with the lion’s share of the loot
makes sense, and it’s nice to know that we’ll be seeing…

Didn't Aras think he still had Hayden and/or Caleb with him from the post-swap men-plus-Ciera alliance? Aras was presumably telling both alliances, "You're my real alliance, the other alliance from my other tribe is fake and we'll burn those people after we get rid of Laura and Ciera." So when they said the plan was…

This is CBS, so probably not. Maybe they could have gotten away with "bee-otch" in the title though (?), if that's what she actually said and they had actually transcribed it that way.

Trust me, not showing Welling as actual Superman was the LEAST of that show's problems. The writing was just stunningly incompetent all around. Imagine if you took the writers from Buffy or Angel and just sucked 78% of their brains out with a vacuum and mostly replaced them with the brains of chimpanzees, leaving just…

References? Yeah, like this show needs more technobabble and comics references that mainstream audiences won't understand. No. If they're going to come up, they need to use them in an actual plot. I'll take that enthusiastically. But no references for the sake of references.

I came into this show expecting that kind of thing. It's ABC, what do you want? Do you really expect to watch an ABC show and NOT get treated like you're a middle-aged bore in Peoria who half-watches the show while folding laundry with two kids screaming in the background?

I didn't expect it, but Arrow is indeed a thousand times better than the endlessly idiotic travesty that was Smallville. It started slow, though, and Barrowman was definitely miscast. They should've swapped Jamey Sheridan into that role.

There's something famous based on a place on the Delmarva Peninsula? Whaaaa? Next you're going to tell me that the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art in Salisbury is attacked by aliens in a new superhero movie.

Syfy is a crying shame, but let's be fair. If you look at the ratings over the years, a LOT more people tune in for that ghost hunting bullshit than for any of their dramas. The idiotic public voted with its eyeballs and this is what they wanted from Syfy. Nobody ever went broke underestimating Americans etc. etc.

Based on the title, Re: Verse sounded interesting. I found the pilot but haven't watched it yet as I'm at work and could get decapitated by my boss if I tried to watch any videos right now. So I have no idea how good or bad or "Girls"-knock-off-y this might be.

I presume Tina and Monica are assuming they are still in with Aras, Tyson, and Gervase. As viewers, we are privy to more info, including the men on the other newly-swapped tribe talking about a possible men's alliance, but Tina and Monica don't know that.

Switch to a credit union. Lots of them have big ATM networks these days. Who needs these big bank bozos anyway?

I have a strange fondness for "That Old Black Magic," but "Picture If You Will" was just dull, predictable, and dumb. Anytime regular characters start dying off in unlikely ways early in an episode of any SF/F show, I call bullshit and then I'm skeptical of the rest of the episode. I will say that Maldis's disguise…

Is Atlantis any good?

Yep, me too, but the free trial period of HBO just ran out for me. And I don't miss it. I would never watch anything on there except Game of Thrones and the VERY occasional movie. The movie selection is pretty poor, even with 11 or 13 different flavors of HBO.

This show is never remotely scary and occasionally seems vaguely willing to deconstruct or criticize silly horror tropes (even if they're often half-assed about it), so it's nothing like the few horror movies I've seen. Most big modern horror flicks are just cliched scare machines and not half as campy as this. Season…

Oops, you're probably right. I think it WAS the Village East, now that you mention it. I get all of those East Village multiplexes confused. So I was ranting about uncle fucking for nothing!

Are you talking about the AMC Loews Village 7? I've never been to the Regal E-Walk, but I think AMC Loews Village 7 is the pitiful one where I was subjected to Coriolanus. It was a minuscule screen with the door in the FRONT of the room next to the screen, and every time somebody walked in or out, light would shine…

Wait, she's playing a Delvian in her next movie?
