Exactly. The main story arc of the season (mind you it was British so, y'know, six one-hour episodes) wasn't THE HUMANS SAVE THE DAY!! It was "Okay, we know what their plan is finally. Now we have something to work with."

I also liked how in 'Ultraviolet' the vampires were a distinct and real threat. If they actually existed and got organised, bringing about a nuclear winter would probably be the long-term realistic goal they'd settle on. And it would work, and the human race would be fucked.

I did know this at some point, but I've forgotten. But something happened - maybe the actor just wanted to leave, or Joss decided it was time to get rid of the character sooner than expected.

I could be wrong but I think the reason his character was derailed was because they did suddenly have to write him out. I'm surprised Joss didn't do his usual thing and go "He's beloved by a main character so let's kill him off horribly MWA HA HA HA", but I did like the *SPOILER ALERT ALTHOUGH IF YOU'RE READING THIS…

Ha, I ended up being the only person in my social circle who liked Dawn (both the character and actress), once I adjusted to the weirdness of how she was introduced. I was also the only defender of Riley as the best boyfriend of Buffy, until the writers suddenly had to write him out quickly and it got awkward.

I liked how in Superman she was 23 or whatever it was and playing a Pulitzer-prize winning journalist and mother of a grade-school age child.

Like, wasn't 'The Midnight Circus' (I think that's its name, it's about two teenage wizards in a circus having to wizard to the death. Or something) supposed to be the next 'Harry Potter'? Or maybe it was the next 'Twilight'. The cover was in black and white with touches of red, so probably the next 'Twilight'.

I always think of the thing that Billy Connolly says about lying about your age. "Lie 20 years in the opposite direction. Say you're older. People will think you look fucking amazing."

(Didn't have dessert last night but breakfast this morning (as of 2.5 hours ago) was a piece of French bread with Nutella on.)

I literally flinched back from my computer screen when I scrolled down and this picture came up. Something about that face and that smile. Is that Hugo Schwyzer? That looks like the headshot of a jobbing actor who'd get the Rapist of the Week role in a Law & Order SVU episode where the charming corporate guy turns out…

Agreed. Just because a character annoys you doesn't make her a manic pixie dream girl. If she's actually the protagonist of the story she especially can't be a MPDG.

Maybe this is a thing Sharper Images could do on their website. You upload a photograph of your bed, and cut and paste Megan onto it.

It doesn't even look like bed and Ms Fox had any contact at any time, ever. Like she was posed on, I don't know, a blue screen or something, and cut and pasted onto the bed.

Ultraviolet was fucking amazing!! Still a bit sad they never did make a second series.

Yeah, I know it's a bit reductive and sexist but I think women, being conditioned the way we are, may be more inclined to find the fault with ourselves and try and see whether there's something we can change. I reckon this might also explain why some of these charming and oh-so-desirable men pull the "All these 'ugly'…

An unfortunate number of people were okay with it - you know, the sort of people who comment on the articles on mainstream news websites. So I guess Australia and the US are the same in that respect. But there was some criticism. Our entertainment industry is still embarrassingly white - you think the US is bad, you…

I always feel uncomfortable breaking things down into gender differences but honestly? I have seen this delusion of entitlement in men far more than I have women. And even more honestly, in my (limited) experience it seems that men I've seen who are frustrated/afraid about not getting any, or the more fundamental…

Yeah, I thought that when I read the Wikipedia and saw Marsden had the part. And you are right, he looks exactly like if they made a live person out of a Disney animation prince/love interest character.

Kind of I think what people were saying about the casting in 'Five Year Engagement'. It's NOT that Jason Segel is ugly (he is not), or that it's a wonderful thing that he had to lose weight and buff up and got to experience what every working actress in Hollywood experiences. It's just a pity that we so often see the…

Good on you for calling that asshole out.
