I always forget about Amy Adams' CW guest starring career. It was a fun surprise seeing her while rewatching Buffy.

-This episode was definitely pretty boring, and the awkward "let's kill her!" argument added to end was very strange. Do we really need to go down that road again? The whole thing was kind of weird.
-I actually noted when this episode passed the Bechdel test because I was so surprised (even if it was for like a minute…

Interested in this! Can you describe anything about it (if you don't mind?) I wrote a term paper on Mary Sues and gendered language once. I never wanted to read about color-changing eyes or Elrond/Gandalf's magic elf daughters again.

This is a judgment free zone. I may or may not have an AO3 folder on my Kindle. I was just surprised at how weird some of the SPN AUs got. Like, impressively weird.

I recently discovered AO3 and was clicking around fandoms. SPN was definitely a "whoa, people write some weird shit on the internet" moment for me.

Yeah, I think it's important, outside of all the reasons that everyone's mentioned, that writing and reading fanfiction is engagement with a fandom, too. FF writers are interacting with an existing community which is a) easier to get people to read and provide feedback and b) fun.

It astounds me how slapdash these are. I caught up with Supernatural before starting TW and his reviews were similar quality (and caused a ton of fan frustration). I wish they'd give this to someone who just actually kind of likes the show. TW can be good and bad, but I'd listen to someone who just paid attention.

That (what Phil said) might be the most ridiculous statement in the history of Teen Wolf reviews.

I agree with Phil on something! This was very exposition heavy! I am as surprised as y'all are!
TW thoughts:
-I was going to talk about what a dick Agent Blast McCallCheese was being this week but I’ll give him a pass for getting stabbed. What an unlikable character, though.
-ISAAC IN A SUIT! With aviators! Awesome.…

Ha, true. See you at the crossroads, Big Joe. Instead, I'll nominate the Stargate and the Enterprise(s)

The bow ties in Party Down.
Big Joe/Big Lou etc. from Cougar Town

Actually, I don't think he was killed— he was put in some weird coma state I think because he was dosed with the whatever virus? They end up communicating with him in this state, and he actually dies somewhere in the second half of the first season, I think. It seemed like the show was gearing up to find a cure for…

Olivia's former partner/love interest that they focused a ton on initially until I think they realized it wasn't working out well (and probably, some marital issues with Anna Torv). http://fringe.wikia.com/wik…

You know, some kind of memory disorder would explain a lot about the past few seasons. Just saying.

I actually thought there was some kind of title element and thought it was a super easy question for a second before realizing it was just quotes, but figured that fit anyway. But then I realized I'd answered an Ayn Rand quote question correctly, and judged myself.

Yeah, I agree. I kind of liked the more relaxed pace of Season 4. Between seasons 3 and 5, it was kind of nice to take a breather from an intense apocalyptic threat, even though season 4 definitely has its issues. I'd take it over season 7 too (well, over the last 2/3, anyway).

Season 1 of Fringe, until a little more than halfway through, was really heavy with the John Scott character. His character tied into a super X-Filesy "internal conspiracy" plotline that never really worked for Fringe, which got way better when it started exploring parallel universes. Sending John Scott back to his…

On an episode to episode level, I enjoyed season 4 a lot. I hadn't seen it since I was 13, and in the last ten years I'd heard everyone talk (rightfully) about how horrible the Initiative was as a plotline. I was surprised how much I genuinely enjoyed watching it, despite the failure of the Initiative. And Beer Bad.

Boy Meets World too— I remember that Morgan was just "in a really long time out" or something.

Definitely! I didn't realize how much I missed it in the show. With all the rinse and repeat angst, it's awesome to see the show remember how it set up the Winchesters in the first place.
