I don't seem to recall an hour and a half of psychic rape to be part of the grand Star Trek condition.

My biggest beef with the episode is all of the computer errors (really, this is a game that's been in beta test and yet the people at the company can't get the contact information for one of their players?). I know that TV writers usually assume that the broader audience doesn't know enough about computers to call BS…

Correct.

Well, in the modern internet culture of "Nothing's too horrible to tolerate," it's not as weird as it would have been, say, a decade ago. But yeah, kinda weird.

Years ago, a rabid collector of Superman memorabilia had a tape of this that he'd take around to conventions. He'd screen it for groups of people, daring everyone in the room to sit through the entire pilot. The longest any of them made it was about the halfway point.

Knowing television like I do, I'd be surprised if that Hexenbiest that Adalind talked to is nothing more than a friend of her mother's. I'm honestly betting she's going to turn out to be Renard's mother or something.

Yeah, I enjoyed it pretty well and I wasn't familiar with the original story.

In this setting, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if someone in Rammstein is a Wesen. That's not a complaint, just a comment.

Honestly, I'd find it more questionable if someone who's legitimately earned a doctorate and regularly works with actual medicine just accepted it on faith when a guy who's been part-timing it at a spice shop starts babbling on at her about alchemy that only people born with magic powers can do.

I'm 99.9% that the pit was a hallucination symbolically representing the gap in her memories that she's probably becoming more aware of now that she's been given the cure to whatever malarkey Adalind cooked up.

A friend and mine have a pretty strong theory as to what was going on with Juliette. Basically, it's the gap in her memories. I think the stuff that Rosalee gave her is making her aware of them as they might be starting to repair themselves. The big pits she's seeing are like waking nightmares symbolically…

There are a lot of writers here who think James Franco is the greatest thing to ever happen to the camera for some reason. So this site saying that his performance is bad in a movie is like the Catholic Church promoting birth control and gay marriage. Which means it's gotta be bad.

Wow, James Franco's performance must be pretty abysmal for a reviewer here to acknowledge he might not be the Second Coming after all.

I could never stand the redesign for Selina. Something about the slightly blue-ish skintone made me wonder if she was supposed to be undead or something.

I don't have much to say on the subject itself. I will say, however, that there's a lot of serialized television that was a fucking nightmare when it aired but is a lot more palatable if you don't have to wait and build up anticipation for what turn out to be anti-climaxes.

I greatly enjoyed the movie for the most part. The end was kind of rushed and I thought that Williamson was a little too blase for David. Also, not entirely happy with how they sort of compressed Amy's role. I know there wasn't room for everything in the book, but even still.

It's also possible that now he's just playing up the "Oh, I was gone five years, I don't know any of this wacky modern nonsense." schtick.

Ah, but if the Observers never exist, then Walternate is never going to be accidentally prevented from saving Peter.

Eliot was already a pretty solid Brain, we've seen that a few times.
