Giles ,'Conversations with Dead People'
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
I suspect that connection served a role in Wise's casting.
Me too.
I'm suspecting something is shifty with the waitress (even though I like her)
I don't know about shifty but I assume she'll have a more important role in the future, since they got Lyndsey Fonseca.
I was surprisingly sad about Colleen's death (I was hoping she could be a Lacey Thornfield type), and I was glad they let Peggy cry about it onscreen.
Also, poor Bubs.
I like that it is a mini-series. Anything can happen to anyone, except for Peggy, Howard, and Jarvis.
There seem to be more mini-series coming on ... which I like. They seem to have stopped for a while, but I like having something that has a plot with a definite end. Or maybe it's just me - I tend to drop out when series go on with a plot bunny that's more like the Energizer bunny and just keep going and going.
The showrunners are open to a full second season, though, so this could become a Korra situation.
I think I would prefer it as a midseason replacement every year.
As a general TV thought, I'd also prefer shows that have staged finite endings, serial mini-series, if you will. Less filler, more focus. Tell your first story. Get cancelled, you've done your job. Get renewed, get another focused story. Win/win, in my book.
If they were renewed, it would be fun if investigators remarked in passing on the dreaded Soviet operative, the Winter Soldier.
NYC still has a few women's boarding houses, and men are still only allowed on the first floor:
For one thing, she's a waitress at an automat! They aren't supposed to have waitresses, are they? I thought that was the point.
This was making me crazy!!!! Was it an Automat for desserts only?
My university residence in the late 80s-90s, was woman only and men had to be signed in after 6, and out by 11. It's now co-ed.
