  1. AwesomeO, I'm not sure I can watch Tim Gunn or PR anymore.  Not after the abomination that was Under the Gunn.  *shudder*  How he treated one of the designers really changed my view of him, sadly.

  2. They really need to re-title that show.  Emperor of the Nerds.  Monarch of the Nerds.  Something.

     

    Anyway, it occurred to me this morning that Steve Valentine (the bad guy in Dog Dean Afternoon) played Derek Storm on a Disney show called I'm in the Band. The show was about a teenager (named Tripp) joining an aging 80's heavy metal band.

     

    In the final episode, Tripp's father showed up, played by James Patrick Stuart, aka Dick Roman.

  3. While I can't think of one immediately, I love it when they drop in a quote from one of the books.  I miss some of them -- I think because sometimes they're said by different characters from the books -- but I'm always delighted when I catch one.

     

    Oh, for example, Barney is originally the one who said that Hannibal, whenever possible, prefers to eat the rude.  "Free-range rude, he called them."

  4. I never engaged in the Hannibal thread at that other site, but I figured I would jump into the fray here.  Hello!

     

    I became impatient with the show in the first season, so stopped watching before the season finale.  However, before season 2 began airing, I figured I would give it another chance.  Once I let go of the idea that it should follow the books exactly, but instead mirror them in many ways, I enjoyed the first season immensely.  As I did season 2.

  5. I'm holding on to hope that the current Mara isn't entirely evil because she's learned some things over the centuries, but that presumes that she actually now has all her Haven memories of being the Haven Helper. Even if she has those memories, it may take her a while to integrate them fully and process what they mean to her.

     

    Maybe this will be the season they merge á la Detta/Odetta/Susannah.

     

    Does this really count as Stephen King as much as "loosely inspired by/licensed from Stephen King"?

     

    Depends on how you look at it, I suppose.  I found out about the show from an update on current goings-on in the SK universe.  *shrug*  Though I am disappointed that he seems to favor a vastly inferior "loosely inspired by" TV show.  Or maybe he's just getting more money from CBS.

  6. In a perfect world, I'd ask for two Whose Line episodes -- UK and US.  Tony Slattery, Steve Frost, Josie Lawrence, Paul Merton, Stephen Fry, anyone!

     

    US, of course, Greg, Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, Brad Sherwood, etc etc etc.

     

    Oh, and maybe a Reno 911 reunion episode.  

  7. Woo hoo!  I've been saying since they announced that WLiiA was coming back that one of them should be on the show -- since both are on the CW.  However, I was kind of hoping for Jared just so Ryan Stiles could have someone almost as tall as him for a change.  And vice versa.  (Ryan Stiles is 6'6".)

     

    ETA  Also, I wouldn't mind if one of them was on Hollywood Game Night as well.

  8. Another refugee here -- and yes, that little guy to my left is my Bernese Mountain Dog/Border Collie mix.  His name is Loki -- Norse god of mischief Loki, not Marvel bad guy.  Oh, and not SPN Loki/Trickster/Gabriel.  We're big on mythology in our household -- all of our names come from Greek mythology, even the middle ones.  We thought we would stray for the non-human family members.  Though I may change my mind if I ever get a female Great Pyrenees -- I'd love to name her Khione, Greek goddess of snow.

     

    Shockingly, he doesn't look like that anymore.  He's four and a half years old and about a hundred pounds of lapdog. 

     

    ETA

    here to throw shade on spn

     

     

    The shade, the shade of it all!

  9. 2) I loved Bela. I can't begin to justify it, but I just enjoyed her immensely.

     

    8) I liked Jo.

     

     

    I hate what they have done to Sam and I don't feel poor Sam isn't getting storylines, nor do I feel Dean isn't getting storylines.  I just don't like the storylines they give Dean sometimes.

     

     

    Like Castiel fine, but don't see this "profound bond" and couldn't care less about it.

    As much as I love Mark Sheppard, I can't figure out why Crowley is still on this show.

    Could care less which character gets an arc or story, only care if it's interesting to watch.

     

     

    Bring back some of the fun!!

     

     

    I hate this DemonDean idea. I don't think it's surprising or interesting or creative or edgy.

     

     

    I thought Abaddon was wasted as a character

     

     

    I think the show has suffered terribly since Kripke stopped being the showrunner.

     

     

    I like the Ghostfacers.

     

     

    Yep, to all that.  And I'll add that I think Chuck is God and want them to bring him back.

     

    ETA  Also, I didn't mind Scarecrow at first, but now when I watch it, all I think is, "We should have known."  11 episodes in and Sam is already taking off on Dean.  You know, I'm kind of surprised it took that long.

  10. Agreed.  He's written so many books that haven't been adapted.  I assume they think remakes are a sure thing.  Presumably, the remakes would appeal more to young people, but I wonder how many young people read SK?  

     

    I'm hoping the It remake falls apart.
