    My thoughts watching that were that I would have had to start stacking furniture because I never would have been able to climb a bed sheet. I couldn't climb a rope in gym class to save my life when I was in high school. 

    LOL. I never even tried. I walked up to it, gave it a tug and said no.

    I realized that all the stuff with El and the others reminds me of the show, Dark Angel.

    S04.E06: Chapter Six: The Dive

    in Stranger Things

    · Edited by Writing Wrongs

    I remember all the panic over D&D and Satan back in the day. I went to a Christian school and I came home one day and my stepfather had gone through my stuff and taken all of my KISS music and tossed it. I was so pissed. I wasn't allowed to have my bedroom door closed, in case I was listening or watching something I shouldn't be. Crazy.

    ETA: He's apologized for that crap now and realized he went about stuff the wrong way back then.

    Detective and Mystery Shows

    in Genre Talk

    I got my Acorn back to catch up on new shows and seasons. I really liked The Chelsea Detective. Not feeling Harry Wild.

    I watch a lot of British and US cop/detective shows. I find it interesting how they deal with crime scenes. The Brit detectives are fully covered from head to toe in protective suits while you're lucky to see a detective over here wearing a pair of gloves before touching stuff. And the no guns thing is really interesting.

    Unforgettable - General Discussion

    in Unforgettable

    I'm in the middle of watching Season 2 and I don't love this reboot. I enjoyed the more personal stories of Season 1 and the team and the police precinct setting. Now it's just political or terrorist stories like every other show. They don't even use her abilities that much like in the first season. 

    Australian Survivor - General Discussion

    I saw her and Mark in that one season they were on and couldn't stand them together. This time when they were on separate tribes, I actually started liking her. She became awful when her and Mark were reunited. I'm glad she was voted off and I hope Mark goes soon, but I think they may have left it too late to get rid of him.

    Charmed - General Discussion

    in Charmed

    I was remembering how Season 1 & 2 Phoebe always had random jobs or reasons why she had to quit.

    She was a hospital volunteer in one episode. A fortune teller in one.

    She had to quit Bucklands after a day because she couldn't touch the antiques in case of possible premonitions. She quit the one day real estate job because she didn't agree with her boss having an affair.

    I guess she was waiting for her Ask Phoebe job.

    I thought that the source as an antagonist should have become more malevolent and sinister as the sisters became more powerful individually and collectively.   It was disappointing how he became just a regular demon in season 4.

    What never made sense to me was "Deja Vu All Over Again". At various times 1 or 2 sisters died, effectively breaking the Power of Three. So why keep rewinding? Yet in Charmed Again, The Source says with one sister dead, The Power of Three was broken.

    Phoebe is still the baby sister personality wise in the new dynamic.

    Because she is still utterly self absorbed. And it is quite disturbing that she and Paige trick demons into murdering a HUMAN in Hyde School Reunion.

    Total Doiche: Best and Worse Seasons

    in Masterchef (AU)

    I have been going through the seasons (on Tubi) from Season 1 and am on Season 9. 

    First, I'm glad they stopped the bit of them voting each other off from Season 1 and that they dropped the Masterclass episodes. 

    I ended up not finishing one season, because it was all team challenges which I am not a fan of either. 

    I also don't really care for the Immunity Challenges. It is rare that the amateur cook can beat a professional and I don't buy that the judges can't tell which one cooked what in their "blind" tasting.

    I love the Mystery Box challenges and the Invention tests.

    Same here,  Brad Kern destroyed Phoebe with his atrocious writing when he took over the show in season 3. I will always love Rose McGowen for spilling the tea about Alyssa's antics on set giving credence to why Shannen and even Holly Marie did not get along with her in season 3. 

    Phoebe was my favorite in Seasons 1 & 2. She was funny, smart and really into helping people and learning the craft. Jumped to the last 2 seasons when none of them want to help people or be The Charmed Ones any more. I understood what Christy was saying even though she was being manipulated. The sisters became selfish and Phoebe started it.

    Remember when she gave Piper shit about moving out after her and Leo got married? What's the first thing Phoebe did when she married Cole?Move to the penthouse. Even in the last season she kept dropping sly gripes about needing her own place and then she moved out. She butted into Paige's relationship with Richard and was always using her empathy power to act stupidly or inappropriately. Ugh.

    Speaking of flashbacks, I know there have been rumors that Shannen owned 10% of Charmed and Prue as a whole....which may be the case but I always found it weird how they never used flashbacks to show child Prue. Obviously they cant use pictures of Shannen or flashbacks without paying her but were they really not creative enough to think "we could at least have child Prue and bring back the actress that played her to explore more of the girls childhood"

    In an interview with TV Line, Kern said: “I tried like crazy to get her in flashbacks and to have photographs of her on the walls, but what I was told — and I've subsequently been told that this is not the case — by the studio that we would have to pay her per-episode fee, which we couldn't afford, if we were even just going to use a photo of her."

     

    What great posts.

    I know I'm biased because I came to dislike Phoebe and that has transferred on to Alyssa.  I just found the show revolved too much around Phoebe, especially after Alyssa became a producer. Her clothes got worse and more revealing. She was always being possessed or turned into some sexy thing (genie, mermaid, Mata Hari), her rotating boyfriends (which were sometimes Alyssa's). They even made Wyatt's birth some weird Phoebe obsession where she couldn't be away from him. Her great advice column from zero experience. Her obsession with getting pregnant. Ugh.

    I agree that it seemed like separate shows within one show. And I blame the writers or whoever was in charge for truly turning the sisters into horrible people during Season 8.
