The Office hasn't been too bad either. Pretty solid, in fact. A big improvement over last year. Curious to see how the Steve Carell leaving goes. I like him in The Office but for the most part his comedy movie career does nothing for me.

For Drama I have nothing.

The Daily Beast has obtained a copy of Kelley’s draft of the Wonder Woman pilot script, dated December 16, 2010—and it’s laughably bizarre. In Kelley’s vision, Wonder Woman is presented as a weepy career woman-slash-superheroine with three identities (Wonder Woman; Diana Themyscira, the chairman of Themyscira Industries; and mousy assistant Diana Price) to juggle.
… Managing to be both cloying and tragically un-hip, Kelley’s Wonder Woman script seems an about-face for this 70-year-old iconic character. Merchandise meetings and legal jargon jostle uncomfortably with superheroics, pajama parties with saving the world.
The result is a Wonder Woman who is more like Kelley’s Ally McBeal than the feminist superhero who stands side-by-side with her fellow DC icons Superman and Batman. This is a woman whose feelings are hurt by people commenting on her breast size, who is looking for love in all the wrong places, and who wants to have it all!

@DJ Stawes: I think more than anything, the costume looks cheap. The colors are a little too bright and shiny, and what should be metal looks more like plastic. And I deeply hope that the copy of the pilot script isn't real. Because there is one thing I am certain of - Wonder Woman shouldn't be "weepy". ]]> On the Tee-Vee: March-April 2011 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=287622#Comment_287622 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=287622#Comment_287622 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 15:08:17 -0700 Cat Vincent

@Stefan - it sucks that they're interfering with the show at all, but I imagine the cast thing would be more a matter of downgrading people to guest stars instead of series regulars. There's not always a huge difference when it comes to actual story involvement, but it would be unfortunate for some of the second-tier actors. ]]> On the Tee-Vee: March-April 2011 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=289654#Comment_289654 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=289654#Comment_289654 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:25:30 -0700 Foamhead
Superhero Movies: Turn Off the Projector

A swarm of upcoming superhero films—Captain America, The Avengers, Green Lantern, another Superman reboot, a new Batman epic, blah, blah, yawn—will fill the steroidal void with special effects. Amid this Götterdämmerung of boys with toys, Broadway’s Spider-Man fiasco may be the only show with balls.

You know what I find myself missing? The Good Guys. A stupid show that was vastly entertaining.

* * *
The new Leverage season is filming in Portland.

Driving home last week, I passed a sign nailed to a pole by an intersection. It had an arrow, and "LEVERAGE" printed on, upsidedown and rightsideup, so the arrow could be pointed either way.

It was pointed down a side road leading into an office park. I walk my dog down that way, so I know it fairly well.

I'm going to watch this coming season very carefully, to see how the location is used. ]]> On the Tee-Vee: March-April 2011 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=289663#Comment_289663 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=289663#Comment_289663 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 17:23:04 -0700 D.J.

I've been kinda loving The Avengers cartoon. Mostly the bits with Jan and Hulk, everyone else is just kinda dull or douchey (though I do love the Johnny Woo cameos). After the awesome sauce that was Thor the Mighty Avenger, the version from the cartoon just makes me want to cry.

Continuing to look forward to the debut of the new season of Dr Who at the end of the month.

Watched the 1st 10 minutes of an episode of The Cape and lost interest.

Been watching How The Earth Made Us. Awesome series. The BBC Natural History Unit can do no wrong.

The High Street has been amusing.

Relentlessly grim and atmospheric as hell. I like the promise of the mystery. I haven't seen the original, but so far this is one of the best new shows I've seen recently. Anybody else check it out?

I was completely wrong. I was certain Boyd would end the show either dead, sectioned or disgraced. Admittedly he did get close to the last of those... but some quick thinking, a bit of prior planning and a Blackberry he somehow managed to conceal after being arrested for the murder of the latest female team member to find her way into his Fridge of Plod Women, and he's free!

Bit facetious there... but I just didn't quite buy the ending.

The end of the series brought some closure to Boyd as a character in defeating probably his smartest and most powerful foe, Commissioner Paul McGann - and made good use of the rest of the crew, including new fridge-inhabitant Eva Birtisle. As ever, Trevor Eve brings everything to the role - at points even letting his defeat and the sheer weight of his loss make his face into something ancient, eternally wronged.
And ending in under Waterloo Bridge, rooting the show strongly back into the Smoke, worked just fine.

Coming Soon - Tara Fitzgerald's Eve Lockhart gets a new gig, The Body Farm. I'll be there... ]]> On the Tee-Vee: March-April 2011 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=290287#Comment_290287 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=290287#Comment_290287 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:21:05 -0700 StefanJ Chaos. A novice CIA agent ends up with a team of cowboy agents, who kick ass and get things done. It is . . . OK. But the characters are a variety of unpleasant I don't get the attraction of. Your Mileage May Vary, but just not my cup of tea.

I have The Killing recorded and will watch it when I'm in the mood.

Lately I've been bummed and fatigued by evening TV time, so I tend to watch stupid happy stuff, like my hoarded episodes of Raising Hope and Adventure Time. (I swear, I'm usually giggling by minute three of an Adventure Time episode.)

I think if anything he explained to Walter that Walter didn't need Bell anymore; he had humility now, and whatever Walter would decide (in the war between universes) would be the same as what Bell would think up. Previously Walter had been second guessing himself, wondering what Bell would do in the same situation.

After waiting so long to see Game of Thrones finally hearing "The things I do for love." was utterly thrilling. If I were filling out a report card I'd check the "Exceeds Expectations" box, and my expectations were quite high. ]]> On the Tee-Vee: March-April 2011 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=291035#Comment_291035 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=291035#Comment_291035 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 02:57:06 -0700 D.J.

It's dark as Hell. Gritty. I like that the female detective is not a stereotype. She just is who she is. A while back, someone started a thread about the "strong female character" and how it was badly portrayed in film, TV etc. Sarah Linden is exactly how to get that right. She doesn't have to prove how tough she is, she just lives it. ]]> On the Tee-Vee: March-April 2011 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=291041#Comment_291041 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=291041#Comment_291041 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 05:00:01 -0700 Foamhead On the Tee-Vee: March-April 2011 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=291367#Comment_291367 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9599&Focus=291367#Comment_291367 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 07:06:48 -0700 government spy
The girlfriend had originally said she wanted to see it after I showed her a trailer and told her it was the director of Slither. She's very picky about her "dorkyness."

I think we were both disturbed by this film, in different ways. We both have sick, twisted and dark senses of humor, but

the superhero sidekick raping the hero scene was a bit off for me, the cartoonish violence/realistic violence mash-up hit me a bit wierd, and she was a bit bothered by the weird tentacles and extreme gore and eplosions of body parts.

However, I've read enough of Martin's work, although not this stuff, to give it some more episodes in the hopes that there's some interesting twists on these tropes to come further down the line. But it was stunning to look at, and Sean Bean with a sword is always pleasing to my brain. And it's exciting that fantasy is something HBO clearly feels is worth spending what looked like a fairly substantial chunk of change on. Now if they would just make a science fiction show for grown ups, that'd be great.

Over here in the UK BBC4 is halfway through series 3 of French police show Enrenages/Spiral. The most incompetent police in the world are attempting to find a serial killer while skating close to losing their jobs and, in some cases, going to prison. Awesome, and not just because of my ever-expanding crush on the wonderful Caroline Proust. Thoroughly recommended for anyone who doesn't mind reading subtitles. And the first two seasons are available as a DVD set which I would recommend grabbing.

Also enjoying Spartacus: Gods of the Arena for it's over-the-top goofiness and wonderful, wonderful dialogue. John Hannah saying, 'You counsel to suck the cock that pisses on me?' Just awesome. Although it may be the second most idiotic show airing at the moment...

Embarrassing admission: I love Hawaii 5-0. It's the stupidest TV show I have ever seen, and about a fifth of each episode appears to be an extended advertisement for Hawaii as a tourist destination, but the banter between O'Loughlin and Kahn is so watchable. And it makes me happy. Senility may be setting in.

Of course, all else pales into insignificance next to the return of Doctor Who tomorrow...
