For no reason at all, I'm really sad right now, and as a brown girl in the US, my depression is hitting an all time high. Gonna take a xanax, hug the cats, and go to bed. I love you all. Be good to on

For me, I'm having more trouble with the post editor.  I don't know how to do the cool imbedding of tweets that you all are doing.  And when I copy stuff, like from TVLine, I always have to manually put in all the formatting.  And sometimes I'll put it in and then it won't allow me to save my changes. I don't know what's going on.  I'm using a iPad to access the site - I don't know if that makes a difference.

For tweets it's really easy. I just copy and paste the link, wait a few seconds and it shows up. Same goes for gifs/photos. The only thing that you have to manually put in quotation boxes are quotes from TVLine or other articles (aka things that aren't linked)

I stopped watching Charmed when S.Doherty left. She might be hell on a set (although this time around it was more of an ego/personal struggle with A.Milano who was no better, according to the whispers back then?) but for me she was the only touch of spice in that vanilla blah witch world. Not that I was crazy into it. I remember how disappointed I was in this show, because TPTB were the same as the short-lived  very spicy soap Savannah, where I found myself rooting for the villains, so I expected something daring storytelling-wise and well...it wasn't. 

I had my issues with Buffy but yes, it was definitely the superior show in quality imo. That said, a network should never treat a popular show as the red-headed stepchild. The general audience brings a load of income, so be thankful you bunch of well-fed assholes. If you had to feed on hipsters you'd be starving.

Funny fact: D.Duchovny came back from his first upfronts (IIRC) rather pissed off, because the network was all about pre-internet buzzy The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. and was like "Oh, we also have this little show called The X-files". Guess what happened when the audience had something to say about it?

Riverdale sounds like a double penalty to me: Show centered on teenagers + show centered on a love triangle. Yeah, not in a million years.

I vaguely remember this-- not DD being grouchy about the Upfronts, but Fox putting in a ton of promo for Brisco County. I think it was intended for a broader audience because they showed some Bruce Campbell-as-Brisco and his horse doing little intro spots during Saturday morning cartoons. And it worked on me because I started to watch it and really liked it. (Dr Quinn also premiered that year, I think. Westerns were suddenly popular.) Ironically, what I think really tanked the show in the end was when it shifted its focus away from the cowboy/Western storylines to mystical/supernatural stuff. Then it got cancelled and I stuck around to watch X-Files for another 6 seasons.

When I click on that, it tells me I need to sign up for a Twitter account.  Which is what made me think maybe it's not available to those without accounts.

Huh.. that's weird. I just tried it without being logged in as a user and it gave me an option for Copy Link To Tweet but I'm on a laptop so maybe it is different on the iPad.

There's apparently a Tetris movie in the works too. I don't know how that's going to be done but I'm kind of interested anyway because it seems like such a weird decision.

I take it you haven't heard about the Tetris movie yet? (And it's supposed to be a trilogy!)

What. the. fuck.

What video game movie has ever been good? Is Hollywood that desperate for content that are going for shape based video games with no story to speak of? 

At least Angry Birds has animals and a sort of storyline with the birds and pigs fighting each other.

The time stamp isn't clickable for me.  I suppose it's probably a combination of being on a mobile device and not having an account.  Oh well.

It's the mobile thing, yeah. If you're on an iPad browser looking at Twitter, then it's only giving you mobile.twitter.com or m.twitter.com links. Those won't embed.

Ah.  Well that solves it. :) Thanks. 

I still don't know why my post editor is acting so screwy sometimes, but that's a different issue. Has anyone else been having problems when they try to edit their posts?

Brisco County Jr was awesome.  I still say had Fox given it another season it would have been a hit.

I don't have a twitter account and have no problem embedding tweets here.  I copy and paste the tweet's url link into a reply here.  Then I put my cursor at the end of the url link (not on the next line) and press Enter.  The tweet immediately shows up.  I do the same thing with youtube links.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I work on a laptop and use a mouse (prefer that because it gives me more control).

That was Shohreh Aghdashloo in the voiceover, right? Didn't realize she was in this. That looks pretty good. 

Yes, that was her (she has such a distinctive voice). I checked IMDb and she plays the head of the Federation (IIRC).

I really enjoyed this trailer, much better than the first. I'm actually looking forward to the new movie now.

That's a pretty exciting trailer. I've been entertained by the two reboot movies so far and had almost forgotten that the 3rd was supposed to be this summer because there's been so little buzz about it.

Idris Elba is supposed to be in this. I'm assuming he's the alien talking to Uhura?

It's really hard for me to dislike characters on shows that I binge because it's only a few condensed hours you spend with them, so it's manageable. If they are not my cup of tea, I don't have to spend weeks hating them, but that was not the case with Major - I wanted to literally ffwd every scene. I found it very very hard for me to wish Major to not die. And I generally don't wish death on any characters. I thought maybe he could survive and just leave town. I know that doesn't happen, because I have seen promos for s2. However, I really wonder if there is any way for me to like the character. The little I've heard of s2 makes me think that won't happen. I should just accept the use of the FFwd button.

Many people have got over their dislike of Major during season 2, but not me. He bores the shit out of me, and his romance with Liv feels very forced. I also think he was miscast, the actor doesn't do anything for me at all.

It does have some fun parallels to Arrow? Dude was presumed dead, comes back home to save his city land, finds out the woman he was into is now engaged to his cousin, but that's okay, 'cause he meets a way way way more fun other lady and falls for her.
