It was so obvious, right in their faces!<br /><br />I've watched all of Jane the Virgin so far, and I think it's a really fun, cute show. Besides a yay for diversity, like Gavrielle said, the lead character is very appealing. It also reminds me of Pushing Daisies, since it has a narrator (who makes comments about the characters' decisions) and has surreal bits and quirks to it too. <br /><br />I recommend giving it a try. It may not be to everyone's taste (what show is?) but it's a show that came out of the gate very confident in what it wanted to be.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12205722077148940238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-2004748799676367542014-10-26T19:19:12.394-04:002014-10-26T19:19:12.394-04:00I watched the first Jane The Virgin this week.

It was a contrast from Transparent, which I also saw the first episode of this week. It might be critically acclaimed and Quality Television, but since I disliked all the characters I couldn't bring myself to keep going with it.

But it's given me a new Supernatural spin-off idea. Castiel's coat (very minor Supernatural spoilers alert)...<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br /> was filled with bullet holes in its first five minutes and has since been... Supernatural fans, fill in the blanks. And I'm pretty sure it got left in a laundromat a while back. Conclusion: The coat is magic. We need a spin-off exploring the magical powers of the trenchcoat, featuring Castiel, Constantine, Mulder and Scully (the original Trench Coat Duo) and whoever this dude from Highlander is all together.

Aaron Paul and other critics certainly have a fair point about the hypocrisy aspect, and I'm not saying Toys R Us did the right thing by taking the toys off the shelves. But the idea of BB action figures really disturbs me, because of the "role model" aspect you mention. At least with Darth Vader and other nemesis figures, it is reasonably clear they <i>are</i> evil. Here, it feels like action figures just play to that segment of the audience which celebrated Walt as an awesome dude, not the monstrous villain of the piece. And that response to the show always troubled me. The toys, of course, makes total sense from a monetary perspective, but it still doesn't sit quite right with me.<br /><br /><i>The Bridge</i> news was not surprising at all, but it still bummed me out a little. It was an odd little show, with lots of fascinating characters and an interesting perspective. It didn't always work for me, and I wouldn't call it a favorite, but I'll still miss Sonia, Marco, Hank, Adriana, Frye, Fausto Galvan, and Obregon.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-56689275076094152902014-10-26T08:58:53.615-04:002014-10-26T08:58:53.615-04:00Yeah, I don't like the idea of Matt Damon as M...Yeah, I don't like the idea of Matt Damon as Mark Watney either. In fact, I'm not really sure I like the idea of getting this book on screen at all. It's a terrific book, but if you think of it, most of the hoops that Watney has to jump through are not heavy on action. He does some chemical experiments, then looks on the gauges and runs out of the Hab, realizing it can blow at any moment. It's not something that would look pleasant on screen. With the exception of Lewis's spectacular stunt at the end, most of it is like that.<br /><br />And yeah, Matt Damon is definitely not good.migmithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981055611018991476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-42502298895767505682014-10-26T06:13:39.047-04:002014-10-26T06:13:39.047-04:00I loved the John Carter movie.
