The Lebensraum one was inspired.

There's even some sort of… splatter pattern? Oy.

You're welcome! And don't be absent again; I hate change ;)

I might actually be able to use the phrase "begs the question" here properly, but why risk it.

I've literally never seen anyone mention Point Pleasant before. Fun show! The actress seems to have completely disappeared.

I get that it makes sense for the letter R in the title to be capitalized: so-called Reality shows are actually somewhat scripted and artificial. But is there any reason for the other letters to be capitalized too? Why not UnReal?

Good to hear that you were not underwhelmed, or overwhelmed either, just perfectly whelmed.

I'm sure he'll have a chance to walk it back during his interview with Ali G.

He wore a big coat… and was a Terminator, apparently. The description in the link you provide makes him sound absolutely badass.

She could be back for a flashback or werewolf-bite-hallucination episode ;)

In this pilot, they were all cookie-cutter and at the same time trying too hard. It's exhausting. I'll end up wanting to tune them out.

I, too, got an Emily VanCamp vibe, and once the wetsuit turned copper-colored it was hard not to think of Continuum.

I don't like that wagering, either. Why risk it?

Re: FJ:

I see that there are two versions of "Hard to Be a God": 1989 and 2013. The premise seems interesting to me. Which version should I watch?
