So...were we supposed to be on Emily's side when she got in the face of that sixteen year old and screamed at her that she deserved to be smacked? Because that was totally inappropriate and disgusting.
Who knows, but I sure was. I mean, sure, Emily was acting like an idiot all episode, but that little witch (Addison) deserved that and more.

Spending the last few minutes of a season finale in a car and on a busy street, on a show like this, is more tense than a really good horror movie. I had, like, three minor heart attacks in three minutes.

I want mooooore! David and Patrick, good lord, that was just the sweetest scene I ever did see. Great finale. I love this show so much.

Oh my god did they just kill

I gotta say I'm quite confused as to what the hell is going on but I'm really digging it all the same.

Interesting to see all these different takes on the episode. I thought it was as good as always! The mail man dialogue was killer.

Thanks for the report! I never did watch 7.07 and 7.08 and I'm not sure I will watch 7B either. Sounds exhausting, and not in a thrilling way.

Just saw this. I like Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling sure is pretty, but come. on. That was one boring love story. I found most of the song and dance numbers very underwhelming (it's been two hours and the opening is the only one that really stuck with me). This thing needed so much more oomph.
IMO.

I could not stop laughing. Tears down my face. Last week didn't fully land with me but I thought this was amazing.

I've watched four episodes. I like it but don't love it. The laughtrack isn't helping. Is someone gonna come out as LGBT? Because so far it seems straight, unless I've missed something.

A very well thought out blogpost I just found about The Man In Black and the purpose of all of his appearances as the smoke monster and Christian. It's speculation, obviously, but I think most of it makes sense. I like the speculation of how and why he infected Claire, for instance, and that she broke the barrier to the cabin and that's why he kept to portraying Christian even to Locke, because it started for her benefit. And also why he appeared to Locke in Walkabout, why he grabbed him in Exodus, his appearance to Mr. Eko etc.

I'd love to see Margo Martindale, Ann Dowd, Cynthia Stevenson, Diana Scarwid, Swoozie Kurtz, Jane Curtin, Jessica Walter, Octavia Spencer, Mary McDonnell, Amy Madigan, Lauren Hutton, Lena Olin, Marcia Gay Harden, Olivia Williams, Alfre Woodard, Kirstie Alley, Blair Brown, Roma Maffia, Melissa Leo, Veronica Cartwright, K Callan, Linda Gray, Linda Hunt, Ally Walker, Madeleine Stowe, Polly Walker, I mean, just put these awesome "actresses of a certain age" on a cruise or something along with Conroy, Bassett, Porter and Bates and make it a scenery chewing bloodbath.

Just stepping in to say that I agree with what BOTH of you are saying, Mime Paradox and AndySmith. Or, maybe rather, I see both arguments as valid.
I'm also gonna say that I liked both pre-evil Lauren and post-evil Lauren. How about that bombshell? I don't think I could explain why, though. A lot of it is probably just because I really like Melissa George and both versions worked for me. The story less so.

The Swedish airing could be so infuriating. Every episode that had a song in it (usually during a fight scene), except on one occasion, they simply did not air, skipped the whole episode, with the explanation that "Swedish kids would not understand a Japanese song." The final episode of season one when all the fallen soldiers come together with Moon against Beryl (or Queen Morga as she was called here) they obviously couldn't skip to so they took at the song and replaced it with background piano twinkles.

This was more common in the days of yore (80s-90s), but I don't know anyone IRL who found out their SO/neighbor/weird new friend was a psychopath through finding old news paper clippings hidden away in the drawers of their dwellings.

Thanks, and too bad! I've only lurked but for a Swede this forum has been very helpful and informative about what the fuck is going on over in "The Land of the Free." If there's another discussion group happening elsewhere I'll be sure to lurk that one too!

I'm just gonna go ahead and admit defeat and say that Badlaa is one of my favorite episodes. I mean considering how many times I've watched that freakshow...

Ah, yes, I remember it now. I wonder how Dempsey responded to that lovely phrase for it to accelerate from verbal to physical unhinged throttling.

I just started watching the episode, but what is up with Will's obsession about feeling the need to give Graham a "manly hug"? Is it a joke? Because it comes of more like he's genuinely scared to give men hugs. Maybe it's just gay men.

This reminds me that I'm still irritated about Isiah Washington being fired from Grey's Anatomy for calling TR Knight a f*****. Yeah, he shouldn't have done it. However, the context for it was that Washington was in the middle of an argument with Patrick Dempsey. The fight turned physical when Washington started strangling Dempsey. Literally fire him for that!!!! And I loved Isiah on Grey's, but you can't have people trying to kill each other on set.
Sounds like a double whammy then. Personally I'm glad the focus was on the homophobia if they for some reason had to choose, but it should have been on both.
What happened anyway? I always thought the fight was that Dempsey defended Knight after the name calling. But they were already fighting and Knight stepped in and that's when the name calling came? What were they fighting about?

I just hope there will be some likeable, believable characters this time around. The Prometheus had 90% assholes onboard. I don't worry about the monsters as much as the characters. That John Logan's the writer gives me more hope than Damon Lindelof did, but my expectations aren't too high.

Knock knock! I'm still trying to decide if I should watch this. Hope it's okay to post here!
How would you describe the show ? Sidereel has it as a "drama", Wikipedia calls it a "psychological thriller" and Metacritic says: "Genre(s): Drama, Horror, Suspense". Is it scary ? I can't watch horror...
For reference, I decided against watching Stranger Things because I thought that'd be too scary for me. The most "stressful" thing I watch is probably The Fall, and the most violent... Game of Thrones? Although I spoiled myself on purpose about a certain scene involving a skull and looked away from the screen when I knew it was coming...
Fortitude looks very interesting though! What do you guys think, should I give it a try?
That's a tough one. Psychological thriller is probably a better general description for it than "drama" or "horror", but there are relationship drama aspects inbedded in it as well as some horror elements. But as far as I can remember there's really only one "holy shit!" moment concerning a graphic event. I suppose it depends on what scares you as well, since horror is so broad and what scares you is so subjective. I'd classify it as a mystery suspense drama, maybe? It's very much a mood piece, and I loved the hell out of it (I also love The Fall and Game of Thrones, for reference). I would not call it stressful, but then few shows give me stress, personally. I say definitely give it a go for a couple of episodes and if you like it keep going! I don't remember which episode has the "scary scene" but I can look it up so you're prepared :). It's in the late half of the season, at least. Also, it's not really a show you can watch and fiddle with you phone at the same time. There's lots of names and characters being thrown around and it can be hard to follow, but it's worth it. You can always read the threads here after you've watched the episode
ETA: Scary gore scene is episode 6 if you count the first two episodes as one (they aired together), episode 7 if separate.

I'm replaying Final Fantasy IX and I'm having a lovely time.

peaceout, I can't believe how similar our opinions are of both Angel and Buffy. I'm nodding along to everything you write, basically.
Season 4 is a favorite season of mine, but I remember being torn about it when it first aired. "This is so good! But wait, what the hell is s/he doing, this is absolutely ridiculous!" The premiere, Deep Down, is one of my favorite episodes of the whole series and there are so many other great ones in this season. I'm looking forward to your reactions, 'cuz you're gonna have a lot of strong ones!

1. Murder House. Pretty perfect, although unlike most everyone else I thought Tate was one of the weaker elements. He was good but I preferred the other characters.
2. Asylum. Hey, even like the aliens. Murder House and Asylum ranks pretty equal, this was just a little bit messier.
Here's where it gets tricky. Coven started great but ended terribly. Freakshow went up and down for me, while Roanoke started average but got pretty awesome (with episode six being one of the best of the whole series).
3. Coven.
4. Roanoke.
5. Freakshow.
I think. I'd have to rewatch, really
6. Last, and certainly least, Hotel. So boring.

Fire Island - General Discussion
in Fire Island
They all annoy in one way or another but Cheyenne is the worst IMO. Why the fuck are you even at Fire Island? Needy Jorge comes in second. Patrick has no sense of timing but at least he seems pretty fun to be around. If I was there I'd wanna party, too. He shouldn't bring a party to the house every day though obviously.
Also, half the group having a boyfriend? Boo-ring.
