People knew what they were getting in for. And they still voted for him. And the worst part ,is that a lot of republicans would vote for him again in a heartbeat. And would punish any republican with the sense to stand up against him.

You're assuming that he'd planned out every step, when in reality, as we see in several scenes in the movie, when things didn't work out, he just changed his plans. He had one basic plan and moved with the changing situation as it happened.

They've done a great job making Twelve likeable, and Bill of course is awesome. I wasn't a big fan of the last two parts of the three parter, but I did like all the other eps of the season so far :-) Mon, 19 Jun 2017 13:52:03 +0000 http://markspoils.blogspot.com/2017/06/weekly-shenanigans_11.html#IDComment1045417846 http://markspoils.blogspot.com/2017/06/weekly-shenanigans.html#IDComment1044979912 It seems like these idiots at the studio, didn't even bother to sign on Patty Jenkins for future movies when they had the chance, so now she can come to the negotiating table with a hit movie that according to everyone saved the DC universe, behind her name. I hope she makes them pay up for it*g* Sun, 11 Jun 2017 03:28:15 +0000 http://markspoils.blogspot.com/2017/06/weekly-shenanigans.html#IDComment1044979912 http://markspoils.blogspot.com/2017/06/weekly-shenanigans.html#IDComment1044979835 From what I've read, the DUP just really hates Corbyn, and are working with May as a fuck you to him.

For me, it's felt like both characters were well stuck, and have been for the past few years. It's like the writers keep repeating the same storylines over and over with both Cas and Crowley. And it doesn't help that I lose interest in Castiel whenever they try to humanize him too much. I loved him in s4-6, liked him in 7, and completely lost interest in the guy by s8, beyond what he meant to Dean. The more both the show and fandom tries to woobify him, and give him storylines, other than his relationship to Dean, less interest I actually had in him. now I'm convinced he'll be back, I'm sure they'd have given him a more heroic last stand if he wasn't. (like they did with Crowley) But I kinda wish they didn't bring him back. (not unless they finally have the guts to go through with making Dean bisexual, and using Cas as a way to have Dean explore this realization.) As for Crowley, he got a good death, it's a pity they gave him the idiot ball in his final season, with keeping Lucifer from being sent back to the cage, but other than that, I feel he got a good ending, which is pretty much the best you can expect for a character like him. I felt the season was good, I just wish that the showrunners had bothered to make the MOL more morally ambiguous rather than flat out evil. I feel the finale would have had more impact, if they'd spent more time exploring the group's morality, instead of just using that damn Mick flashback to show the organization was evil at the core. Once you had them make kids kill one another, there was simply no hope for redemption of the organization. Which is a damn pity, because it made their fight less meaningful, and a hell of a lot less interesting.

I mean, is there even one episode they've written on the show, that's actually universally liked by the fans, or even at the very least, not universally disliked or hated? Even one?

I have only a limited liking for full out comedies, and the few that work for me, tend to rely on how much heart they put in the actual characters. There's a reason why Raising Hope was one of the few sitcoms I watched on a regular basis. And Jane the Virgin is just so much more than comedy that I can actually handle the comedy in it. This though, just doesn't look like it has heart, like the characters are anything but a joke, so I don't think I can watch it.

As long as that part is good, I'm fine with everything else*g* It's probably why I by far preferred a show like say Elementary over Sherlock. Sherlock might have had the better cases, and visuals, but Elementary did far better with the characters.

And pretty much sideeyed her for it .

Sure they’re a part of the ep, but they’re not what the show is really about. This isn’t just a procedural, this isn’t the comic, it’s a show about a man finally growing up, learning to be a better person, and taking responsibility for his actions, through the help and support of his family and friends, and a good therapist. That and they have some of the best female chars and female friendships and relationships of almost any show on network tv.

But it also answers a question the viewers themselves may have as well. As a result, they actually make me care more about the relationship between these two, than I would otherwise. I also really loved that Candy was in on the whole deal. That he wasn’t just taking advantage of her, and using her to hide from his friends and family. Well, he was using her, he just let her know he was doing so, so she had a choice to refuse him, if she wanted to. For a character who can seem so arrogant, and childish at times, and who still doesn’t always get how his behavior affects the people around him, it just shows that at least he’s trying, and he is learning.

The world needs more stories of good vs evil, where the black guy is the good guy. That might seem outdated, or overly simplistic to you. But aside of the part where the world needs more stories that appreciates the virtue of being good, being kind, being heroic. Aside of how there are far too many anti heroes in movies and tv these days, and true heroes have become a dying breed. I find it … wrong, to say that now that we’re finally getting some non white protagonists in series like these, that suddenly, they can’t just be the outright good guy. That somehow good vs evil isn’t good enough. (well that and society’s current love for antiheroes is what gave us Donald Trump, so if the media can do something to get kids, teens, and young adults to appreciate heroes again, then that can only be a good thing) Sat, 6 May 2017 18:28:51 +0000 http://markspoils.blogspot.com/2017/04/weekly-shenanigans_30.html#IDComment1043204236 http://markspoils.blogspot.com/2017/04/weekly-shenanigans_30.html#IDComment1043204012 how can those bastards cancel Sweet/Vicious?!!!!!!
