"…the first slayer is a black woman depicted as a savage, and her powers are forced upon her by a group of white men against her consent."

You think $50 for 30 movies is "gouging"?

See, I disagree. I think there are some genuinely sweet grace notes to be found in "First Day of Camp," particularly Susie's entire arc where she realizes that the relationship she's involved in is actually just a fiction. Getting to see McKinley and Ben actually fall in love is also adorable; the cold open (episode

Humor is subjective, of course, but I vastly preferred FDOC. I posted my (long) thoughts above; but in a nutshell I just felt this season was incredibly uneven with equally high-highs as the first series, but many more lows that brought the whole thing down overall.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I probably would have liked it more if "First Day of Camp" hadn't existed. That first season is one of my favorite shows ever, and I just think this follow-up pales in comparison in nearly every way.

Maybe "First Year of Camp" where all of the characters are 11 or 12-year-olds, meeting each other for the first time.

Movie for sure.

Yeah you're probably right. Regardless, it would have been an ideal format. Plus The Drawing of the Three already creates a perfect set-up for the episodes to follow.

I disagree. The Gunslinger is more about atmosphere than story. Very little actually happens. It's only like 200 pages. You could easily adapt that into 95 minutes. It would have been perfect as a pilot for an HBO series.

Nicely done.

It's because the "Sea" section of the film (with Rylance on the boat) only takes place over the course of one day— the actual evacuation of Dunkirk lasted over a week. It took 9 days to get all 300,000+ men out.

Speed Racer is one of the best movies of the last 15 years (at least)! It's SO good.

Yeah, they put her in something heavier with big shoulders to preserve the reveal at the end of the video.

Why would you think a 2,000 year old alien menstruates?

You're right; my apologies.

"Imagine being so afraid of writing you cannot conceive of creating a new character… Imagine being such an intellectual coward, that the best you can muster is just slapping the label of a loved brand onto whatever it is that you have so little confidence in you couldn't risk presenting it as an original idea…"

How do you feel now that the season is over? Thin Ice was the highpoint for me, and I don't even consider it an all-timer. I was quite fond of many of the ideas in the big finale, but a lot of it felt sloppy and nowhere near Moffat's best work. I was incredibly disappointed with season 10; maybe my least favorite

"Cure it with dance" is a bit reductive. Cooper's character says that the focus and discipline provided by the dance lessons in conjunction with his medication is what helps him cope with his disorder.

Scott shouldn't have ended up with Ramona, but he shouldn't have been with Knives either.

Agreed; not only that, I'm still somewhat aghast at the utter contempt the writers showed for Phoebe's ex played by Hank Azaria. The callous cruelty Phoebe displays in his final episode is unbelievable.
