I, too, almost gave up right then. I wanted a space show, dammit! But the third episode makes up for a lot of the b.s. of the first episode. The second episode is okay.

Really? I knew it would be a success the second I saw the trailer. But I'd never heard of the project before then—I would have been more skeptical based on the premise alone.

But then, who is left to vote for them?

Someone call Tony Blair!

Well, except the end scene on the plane. Though that could just be coincidence (Willis sees random person at airport, fits her into his elaborate fantasy, she ends up sitting next to Goines' assistant).

Hahahahaha. I am going to start calling myself that.

This is why the government sends the teenagers to war.

Controversial Opinion Time: I laughed while watching The Interview.

Your Kirk Acevedo idea is top-notch. Damn, that would have been perfect! Maybe they were worried he's TOO much like Willis? Either way, far better than the actor who plays Cole. His hair needs to be dealt with.

That bugged me, too. Seems like she's in disgrace, but hasn't actually done anything license-losing worthy. I'm guessing she'll be practicing medicine in the future on the show.

Anyone else watch Ascension? I saw the 3-part intro recently and I'm on the fence about it, though the third part was considerably better than the first two. I'll probably keep watching it (if SyFy continues airing it), because despite the absurd melodramas, it has some fun conspiracy-theory scifi stuff.

Interesting! So all of this would have taken place in Bruce Willis' mind? Is he in a mental hospital, under this theory (in the "present," or in the future?)?

I agree with you, but I fanwanked an explanation (since the writers didn't bother—maybe they will talk about it more in the future when we have more scenes with Political Boyfriend): she's an honest person, to a fault.

I'm not a huge fan of the cinematic sheen in TV (though it does work for Hannibal, probably because Hannibal-the-person is so concerned with appearance). I like TV to feel lived-in, like less of an "event" than movies, and more day-to-day.

Ugh, why are men on TV always dragging women by the arm? In real life, you'd be damaging rotator cuffs all over the place.

I am mystified as to how anyone thought that greenlighting Dominion was a good idea. It's not a production failure (well, it is, but that's not the worst of it), it's a concept failure.

My theory in watching The X-Files is that The Truth is whatever you want it to be.

I feel like Krycek was always helping Mulder, mostly because Krycek always seemed half in love with Mulder.

Dylan Moran, too, deserved some more attention for his role in that movie.

Watch Only Lovers immediately!
