They had a lot of curveballs, like the monsters actually being friendly while the humans are legitimately dangerous. (see Scooby-doo and the Alien Invaders) Or that the gang's detective work does find a deception but actual monsters are behind it. And in cases of things like the WWE monster truck race, way crazier poo poo is going on that no one considers remarkable, also Shaggy and Scooby team up with the Undertaker.

A neat thing I just realised in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend about the season 3 song Diagnosis, is that it makes a joke about auditory hallucinations, but in a balanced and informed way, by having them come back later in the song: "I don't hear voices but maybe it's time to start! You're super cool Rebecca! (thanks!)" "Time to blow this joint and by joint I mean my internal sense of confusion!" You said that confusingly (shut up!)" People who hear voices often report that it's not always bad things that the voices say, they often say good or nice things as well so you never know what they'll be like that day or hour. Similarly Rebecca's voices make a positive comment about her, and then criticize her later which causes her discomfort.

It may be called Zurge or Tyono-Pyons, but believe me every planet has a place where the denizens are predisposed to want to escape.

Seeing a few crazy ex girlfriend posts here. Is that show good? I assumed it was more... New Girl than You're the Worst. Where does it fall on the New Girl (trash) > B in 23 (guilty pleasure) > You're the Worst (best show) scale that I just made up?

New Girl is very mediocre except like one season in the middle which is abject trash and then the last season or so which ascended to 'pretty good'.

(Crazy Ex Girlfriend) Regardless of how you feel about the presentation of the story it's obvious they did their research when presenting Rebecca's mental state - there are viewers (spoilers for season 3) who have the same thing she is diagnosed with, who noticed what he had 2 seasons before it was officially diagnosed in universe. It's a very well done story on the mental health front, showing a variety of realistic reactions from frustration (Dr Akopian) and fear (Josh Chan for a short time in the middle when she is collapsing into a black hole of rage) to acceptance and helping her through her recovery any way they can (her friends) and even enabling her due to his own issues (Nathaniel) Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is very unique and interesting, although there are a few things in episode 1 that I'd forgotten about that are a bit awkward, like Darryl being excited because the have a Jewish lawyer in the office now Rebecca works there. He drops that poo poo like a rock after the first episode though. Here is an example of a song that exemplifies this from Season 4, where Rebecca is struggling with Agoraphobia due to things that are happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmEM-qhf55w BioEnchanted has a new favorite as of 17:56 on Oct 27, 2018 |

I will say that I was surprised at the difference in tone between Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's musical numbers (which I see on YouTube all the time) and the actual show when I sat down to watch it. It's not bad, but outside of the musical numbers it is really awkward and kinda painful, but not in a bad way. Rebecca Bunch is a goddamn trainwreck of a person.BioEnchanted posted:Here is an example of a song that exemplifies this from Season 4, where Rebecca is struggling with Agoraphobia due to things that are happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmEM-qhf55w The musical numbers can be really good at calling back to older stuff, though, in ways that aren't always obvious. This one's filled with musical cues from the season 1 theme song!

Okay but get this: during their swing behind the Moon during the Apollo 13 emergency, Jim Lovell and his crew reached a Geocentric altitude of 400,171km at 7:21 pm EST, April 14, 1970. At this point, he became the farthest any human being had ever been from Ohio before or since.

However, he was still in the vehicle with Fred Haise, who flew fighters out of Mansfield Lahm Air National Guard Base in Ohio, and was stationed there previously. Michael Collins of Apollo 11 had the highest average altitude orbiting the moon in the CSM (with a 119 minute orbital period, versus 117-118 of the others) for any landed Apollo mission, qualifying him as not just the loneliest human to have ever lived, but also the one that could get the furthest away from any Ohioans.

So it’s not Ohio they’re trying to get away from as much as it is Ohioans. Which is sad because an Ohioan can never truly rid themselves of that.

Of course, Jim Lovell himself was from Cleveland. So you could look at it as, Jim was so desperate to get away from Ohio that not only was he one of the first people on the opposite side of the moon from Ohio, but he also contrived to be one of the farthest persons away from Ohio, period. Or you could look at it as, pity poor Jack Swigert. One of three people to make it as far away from Ohio as any human being has ever managed, and he's still trapped in a freezing cold tin can... with two friggin Ohioans.

All I’m seeing is strong evidence that, if we want to achieve light speed travel, we have to force a majority of the population into Ohio and then tell them that’s the only way out.

I was in Ohio for two hours to drop off a relative when the entire Eastern Seaboard lost power. Racial slurs said like nothing and crucifixes on every single surface is what I remember. And the pizza sucked and they gave me poo poo about not eating the pizza and dropped more racial slurs. Ohio scares me.

I'm not sure if it's just me but season 4 of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend seems a lot different than seasons 1-3. The scenes seem quieter, the colours seem less bright, and overall it feels more real, probably because it's Rebecca finally seeing her world for what it is, and herself for what she is. Also it's more natural and less structured than the other seasons because Rebecca doesn't know what she wants anymore and is just figuring that out. Season 4 is like Life as described in the Season 3 song The End of the Movie - It's a gradual series of revelations that occur over a period of time. Also her interactions with Josh and Nathaniel are just normal conversations now, no longer huge bursts of emotion, just friendly. If anything Nathaniel is now the more unstable one due to taking the breakup really personally despite Rebecca making it clear that there is a very good reason, and that it's her, not him.

More songs where she's not the main focus, too. I mean, they've always had those, but the concentration is higher. Even some of the songs she's in are not about her. Our little BPD is getting well.

On this week's episode of Legends of Tomorrow Sara and Ava were watching a horror movie together (Swamp Thaaaang) when Sara mentions she's never heard of the series before. While looking up info on her phone Ava says that the movie got a D+ from The AV Club and that "The production design is as lazy as the action staging." Which turns out to be a quote from an AV Club review of a season one episode of the show (that episode also got a D+ grade.)

That didn't pan out so he made the credits where the dead warriors are presented us for the last time.
