When I was working retail a few years back I would have to change the radio station every time Journey came on because all the sad Gen Xers would start singing along (Thanks Glee!). I also had a 'No modern Taylor Swift' policy, because good singers shouldn't use autotune :colbert:

Only classic Taylor Swift?

The question is, will they be Witches or Sexy Witches? I've only seen a couple episodes of Charmed, but for a show with Rose McGowan vamping it up it didn't seem like a Sexy Witches Show, more like Sex In The City (With Witches).

Hey, how come True Blood has never had Rose McGowan on it?! That's truly baffling.

They made Alyssa Milano do all those scenes in the earlier episodes, then as it went on the actresses got more and more creative control and started nixing that stuff.

Then they got Kaley Cuoco and made her do that stuff.

The best part of that was him acting all offended like "Oooh, of course White Man, of course the Indian has all manner of sacred magic that can help you" and then, of course, he does.

The car lot set is really well dressed too. It has stuff from several different tribes and really sells the sell-out angle.

Now I'm expecting them to adapt the Marvel Zombies stories into a TV show next.

For the non-comic readers out there, it's basically a What-If series where a bunch of Marvel Heroes get zombified, but keep their powers. That's right, superpowered zombies.

Luckily Marvel has completely killed that universe and doesn't allow anyone to use stuff from it.

Notch got exceptionally lucky in taking someone else's idea and making it just about work. Beyond the bare bones almost everything that makes Minecraft worth playing has been made by the community, and Notch himself has proven unable to do anything even remotely as interesting or successful as a follow-up. Why anyone would think that he would be a good chat show guest is beyond me. He seems conversationally dull and gives the distinct impression of being on the spectrum.

Because Ferguson doesn't care about that nerd poo poo, he wanted a popular game creator on his show.

I think the most work she or Awesome have gotten since Chuck was a voice acting role on one of those terrible Lego TV movies.

She was in a whole season of Dexter then came back for about half of the next one, and co-stars in I, Frankenstein.

It's only been 2 years since Chuck ended.



But yeah Captain Awesome hasn't done much.

And I briefly saw on Wikipedia that they're going to air a backdoor pilot for a spinoff this season. I didn't read any more because I was trying to avoid spoiling myself.

There is no more information than that anyway.

They already introduced a cool character who I would love to see in a spin-off, but it was too early. Unfortunate, because I doubt the real one will be better.

isn't being able to play recognizably different characters a normal thing that actors do, like that's basically their job?

Not really. Most play the same type of character.

The ones that can are often celebrated for it. Like Gary Oldman.

It's also exponentially harder to do it in the same show. In the same scene.

So I was surprised to learn that Family Guy killed off a major character this week. It wasn't from watching the show, but because there was an article about it on the front page of CNN.

They apparently have episodes scheduled later in the season with that character's name in the title, so it doesn't look to be sticking for long.


Besides, the Simpsons killed off a major family member ages ago. Doesn't anyone remember than Snowball II is really like Snowball XII?
