Disney might have been too cheap to spring for the original.

I remember. I just dread how poorly it’s likely to be executed. I think it’s because they’ve done that Castle thing of ‘first guy they investigate is always the baddie’ in two out three eps. Which...in a 42min procedural is an understandable formula. It just doesn’t give me high hopes for pulling off that trope. Much…

I’m not sure even Tom Ellis could keep me around if your jokey reply turned out to be the actual plan.

Other way around — brown-eyed child with two blue-eyed parents — but otherwise a chimera would be a feasible long-shot explanation.

If it were a mixed eye marriage that produced Douche, the brown-eyed parent would have been carrying dominant brown and recessive blue to mix with a parent that also had recessive blue with another dominant eye colour or two recessive blue genes. Either way, Douche 2.0 winds up with the two recessive blues and no…

The myth being that two blue-eyed parents can’t have brown-eyed offspring? No, that’s not myth. There is a minute chance of a mutation leading to pale green eyes, but brown eyes are a dominant trait and blue eyes are recessive. I studied this extensively.

My one aside about the little girl: it is genetically impossible for a blued-eyed man and a blue-eyed woman to have brown-eyed offspring. The most rudimentary Punett squares will show that. I keep wondering if the actress was cast because she had the best chemistry and charisma, or if the fact that she either had to…

I saw the attempt to play fetch coming, and yet the moment it happened and the ‘is that too advanced?’ filled me with such glee. She’s great, and Ellis is great as Lucifer with her.

He positively oozes across the screen. Ellis and his slimy, slithery take on the devil is 100% why I am watching.

I think I want a slice of cheesecake for dinner.

There’s that too. One hell of a spot for Ollie to be in, which would make it potentially excellent material.

He’s also a new possibility for the body in the grave and Felicity’s rage.

I so hoped there would be something about this posted here. I totally fell for it: I was all creeped out at the reveal that the week’s baddie had shown up with unmistakable interest in Felicity, thinking he had sussed out his enemy. Nicely done.

YES.

Starred solely for your agony and rage.

I met her when I was fifteen or sixteen. I was just shy of six feet tall even then and she towered over me. I was doubly awestruck because of that.

That is a truly magnificent title.

They wanted him to concentrate on Sherlock. Read through the articles with Doctor Who tags. They wanted new blood on DW and his attention on Sherlock. I’d guess they might even do short-term series that aren’t as demanding of his time and focus as DW.

Now that my kneejerk response is out of the way, if Jennifer Connelly is back as the Goblin Queen, then I’m game.

Well, this is a steaming pile of grade-A bullshit.
