Well, the assassin in ep 20 of Arrow's first season is blatantly channeling Jubal Early.

Aww, Christopher Meloni on Veep!

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Fastest TV adaption ever? :hmm:

Heh, I just watched Frozen the other night with the kid. I liked it well enough, thought it a very typical classic Disney production. Some great sequences - I liked the part where the queen makes her ice castle to a snappy musical number.

Then I read somewhere that it was the highest grossing animated movie of all time. WTF?!  :unsure:

I'm avoiding seeing that thing, the soundtrack is annoying me enough just through hearing it in passing on TV.

I am confused to the response to that song Let It Go. Just sounds like standard fare.

Yeah.  I have a Pandora station for the kids when we're in the car and it seems like every 4th song is from that movie :mellow:

I've been watching Star Wars: Clone Wars on Netflix.  Quite surprised how good it is (though not to get too excited - it's still just a kids cartoon).  It's also useful as something I can put on tv but don't have to pay 100% attention to, if I'm say feeding baby or something.  It's a show I was aware of, but didn't really know much about.

But the other night I turned on an episode and thought to myself:

"The voice of that villain... it sounds like... nah, it couldn't be..." *quickly googles*

George Takei.

In Star Wars.

Mind. Blown.

It has some really good storylines. I especially liked the "General Krell" story over three or four episodes in Season 4, and the "betrayal" one at the end of the Season 5 TV run (a few missing episodes will come out later this year). Also, the production quality increases from Season 2 to 3, I think, with a lot of old models getting replaced with more detailed ones. I thought Season 2, with its re-hash of B-movies was relatively weak (except the Seven Samurai hommage), but stuff like Landing at Point Rain was pretty neat.

It has me cautiously optimistic for the "Rebels" series that's coming out.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

If the "standard" is early 90s Disney musical super-hits, then that may answer your own question.
