My eighth grade homeroom and language arts teacher, and also at the time like my favorite person in the whole world, moonlighted as a nurse (or an LPN I'm not sure). About a year after I graduated, she left the school abruptly and died shortly thereafter. My best friend was the principal's daughter so when it happened

Thank you. The woman is entitled to her opinions and she might even be right but you can't insult a person at their own dinner table. That's just crazy. Every time they invite her to dinner I feel like throwing something at my television. Seriously.

I wrote a whole long thing that got zapped into oblivion. When that happens, I don't have the spirit to type it all again.

I still say if she just fell off a cliff, bumped her head and died like Katrina said, why would she be drowning lovers that came to Lovers' Lane? Thwarting them like she herself was thwarted by Katrina?

I think, unfortunately, that was just a continuity error. I noticed that too, but the writers haven't shown themselves thus far to be all that respectful of previously established plot points. (They're not Shondaland sloppy but I'll be terribly impressed if that was actually a deliberately inserted clue.)

…so did Night Gallery, Twilight Zone, Doctor Who, The Witches of East End, countless movies and books. If it wasn't a killer in a painting, it was an evil spirit, a trapped soul or a reflection/premonition of the person themselves. Why is Supernatural for some reason now always the end all and be all? I've watched my

I think you're right in that after a while it's difficult to undo a bad impression, but in Katrina's case she went from being an occasionally useful plot device to a distracting contrivance. It seems for the people who are, for some unknown reason, devoted to Katrina, any Katrina is good Katrina. How else to explain

I try not to say much about Katia Winter because my issue really is with the character of Katrina and the writers mishandling of her. But seriously, if Katia were a stock, I'd invest. Sure, she's being artificially inflated but the Powers That Be are clearly very invested in her continued success. Either that or her

I think the writers are using Abbie to lampshade the whole "Katrina-issue". She's saying everything that the viewers are thinking (well, honestly not everything). I think it's unfortunate that in doing that it's making Abbie out to be a Debbie-Downer…to some folks. 'Cuz she's not wrong.

Amen, I totally blame the writers and honestly… the casting director too. I've heard Tom Mison and Nicole Beharie speak on a number of occasions about how they had to do a "Chemistry Read". Wasn't that required of Katia Winter and Tom as well? Because it doesn't seem so. But even despite their flagging chemistry, if

Unfortunately, there wasn't much to sell. They gave Timothy Busfield more to do with his exposed tush than Michelle had.

Thank you for bringing up X-Files because I was about to! Everybody keeps comparing this show to Supernatural as if Eric Kripke invented the concept of MotW. They're not even the only other show on right now that employs that genre device (ahem, Grimm, Constantine…), so the insistence on constantly comparing to two is

I might be wrong but are you thinking about the Behind the Music for New Edition? I remember that one vividly and all the guys in the group (including Johnny Gill, who could only have been there for the tail end of things as he was Bobby's replacement) could hardly keep from cracking up over the idea that Bobby got

I had to upvote this just for the "bootleg Leon" comment. When I saw the trailer, I kept saying to myself, "Who does this guy look like? ('Cuz it's certainly not Bobby Brown)"

I think in Jodie Foster's case (at least initially) she was a part of the Disney machine and they were very particular about their brand child stars. I heard Raven-Symone mention more recently that there are very clear contractual perimeters that you must maintain (its unpopular to mention it now, but I believe that

…Please don't forget Wonderfalls! That's where I first fell in love with Lee Pace. That whole cast (except for maybe the guy who played Eric) was awesome. I've followed most of them to their next projects and beyond.

I agree. He's a pretty face and I like him but his character, as currently written, adds nothing. Erik referenced Jess and Fancy-Man as another example of a good pairing but to me, it was more like Nick and Fancy-Man that had that certain je ne sais quoi.

I don't know when the tide turned and a sitcom being "sitcom-y" became a problem, but I had difficulty finishing this review once LaToya suggested that hitting reply-all and sharing privileged information with everyone in the station was an "unrealistic" trope.

I would contend that this is your Star Wars not mine, but I will agree, I'd like to see it too.

So, are you agreeing with me or…? ('Cuz I already knew the thing about Vision.)
