Snarkette

This week, a raw-foodist mom to two toddlers ("by choice!") who is doing Yoga and a PhD "on the side" with all her free time, and apparently a trust fund, decides to imprison her sons "off the grid" without normal water, gas, electric, or a proper toilet in order to prove something to someone and get out of her Grandfather's guest house, which has been rented out for actual income. Her disapproving family is invited to put everything needed to care for two toddlers into about 10 gallons of storage.

So compared to Dominion and the Lottery, will the Messengers make more or less factual sense as the episodes develop? I need to know how much popcorn to pop and how much we'll be consuming for drinking games

It isn't just anti-Hexen racism, Juliette is a TransHexenbiest now by choice as she declared in the Jail cell and CisGrimm is suggesting she might need to go through forced conversion therapy to renounce that side of her.

I'm a sucker for this kind of show. I'm around for a few more eps at least.

I rather liked it (and I *hated* the last two eps). It was a ton of fun. Juliette can die now, of course, and I loved how they dragged in stuff that wasn't normal Wesen o' the Week (they've done it before of course, when Juliette showed she knew Spanish, right?) What the hell was the mugging about? Whatever it was, it was cool. And the whole Wesen crime spree? Words fail at how deliciously insane this ep was.

Jackson and Lydia made this season for me with a little Stiles, Sheriff, Peter, and Mamma Argent sprinkled on top because no one else could act (Derek, Scott) or was interesting enough to pop (Allison). And you nailed the best line.

Just wait until Season 3B, when Stiles gets to shine. He's really good. Season 1 summary: Shirtless. Season 2 summary: Shirtless and goopy. Season 3A summary: Oh Lydia has a plotline! Season 3B summary: OMG, that guy who plays Stiles can be really good at this. Season 4 summary: Shirtless Deputy

Oh man, this ep was chock full of the stupid. I believe there were a few bits that didn't involve Reynard but my brain refuses to process those scenes. And froggy girl reproduces by parthenogenesis of course.

So I took out http://www.harpercollins.com/9780062352019/150-best-mini-interior-ideas from the library. Everything is super pretty but absolutely no emphasis on the bathrooms. In fact about half of these places don't even have bathrooms. Why go mini if you can't actually live?

So how again do they make baby earthworms?

This was pretty wesenoftheweek. I liked last week's victims a lot more but I thought this week was better paced. Plus, if you're going to do "my body my choice", you don't do it as a throwaway. Good bits: Renard, Wu, Renard, Hank, Renard, and the Monrosalees. And Renard. Not so good bits: Pregnancy story that should have been filmed around, anything royal that isn't Renard, Juliette, Mopeygrimm, and the makeup that looked straight out of Teen Wolf.

I am beginning to be won over by Ari Millen. That clip is awesome.

Juliette is, as always, a moron. Guy says he wants to learn to appreciate that you turn into a living corpse (vs needing to eat a few sammitches, per Bitsie T. norm) and you are written to say "NOT. GOOD. ENOUGH." And couldn't they have let good doctor see some of the arresting (in his office!) so he knows that M&R are goodwesen? Also, doesn't the council have an active hit out on Nick? Over trusting much? Finally, I hated the music, the pacing, the force drama. Whoever directed this shouldn't.

Lots of people live sub-200 (and I'm talking US, big city, not the less developed world) in reasonable comfort, primarily in studio apartments. The secret is this: They live alone. They don't have to have separate "spaces" for two people to get away from each other, let alone toddlers and pets. Many of them live in high rises or old converted brownstones. Not everything has to be green, organic, or composting let alone towable. And best of all, a lot of them have full size tubs, Internet, and real water pressure.

I know! Let's have a ladder that moves between the two lofts in a two-person situation because no one would ever get trapped that way. Tiny life lessons: more murphy, less loft.

I loved it all, start to finish. Was having a rather crappy few weeks and this show put a smile on my face. Didn't care for dong or rich boyfriend (although the perfect retro musical episode end couldn't have happened without him) but loved Jane K and Carol K in particular. So many great moments.

These people spend time in these homes, right? When they are conscious? Or are they too busy renting them out on AirBNB (with "Nashville Star" or whatever that bling name was on the side of the home) or imprisoning toddlers? Maybe there are no real chairs and couches because mommy is napping all day?

Why are there no real couches in tinyland? Don't people spend more time in their comfy chairs and couches than in their KING SIZE (er, QUEEN SIZE) lofts?

I would be satisfied if they got rid of the teens and retooled the series to be all Sheriff's department, all the time. Call it "Stilinski: Policing the Supernatural".

The problem with this show is that the werewolves are all unlikable murderous jerks. Give them a few more weeks and they'll just kill themselves. Were they this homicidal in the books?

If you craft, cook, build, repair, or rear offspring, tiny houses really don't seem practical. Adorable isn't practical and your cute little 2-yo isn't going to stay 2 for long.

Tonight's ep made me so angry -- how can anything with this much heart and depth be a filler, merely padding the time until Agents of SHIELD comes back on. One more ep and then I'm back to yelling at stupid.

Loved the pilot, couldn't wait for the series, loved the series, hope this gets a second at least.

That stair bannister was MAHOGANY!
