Hi,
This is my first TOMT post so I'll try to be as descriptive as possible. I'm not sure if this TV series was from early or late 2000s, but it must've been recent due to the high quality image and special effects.
So this series starts with this woman - main character for the sake of simplicity - who wants to travel abroad and needs her passport to do so, but her single mother tries to stall her and keeps making up excuses as to why she doesn't have a passport. Supernatural things happen and entities kill the single mother in a suspicious home accident. Now that the mother is out of the way, main character was free to search her birth records in an attempt to apply for a passport, and in her mother's things she finds a box with newspaper clippings and her fake birth certificate, and she finds out that the single mother wasn't her mother and that she might be a child that went missing in a small town (perhaps named Caro?).
Main character goes to this small town from the newspaper clippings to try and find out what happened to that missing child and if it is in fact herself. In this town she founds out that the missing child was kidnapped while playing at a park with two friends - two siblings - and those friends' mother. But while the siblings' mother was making a phone call in a phone booth the kids got distracted and the kidnaper got the chance to snatch one of them. This child was taken to a mansion where they made her sing a creepy cult song and placed her in a tunnel with a black mirror to summon entities. These entities are successfully summoned. During her stay at the mansion she was also staying in a bedroom with paper wall with yellow flowers pattern.
In the midst of all this there was a woman police officer who was trying to find the missing child and she successfully found her. The people behind the kidnapping were local powerful and rich people and she new that they'd get away with it all, and that her own safety and career was at risk. But when she was about to approach the child's mother she found the mother having a suspicious secret encounter with the husband of the woman who made the phone call in the phone booth. The police officer assumed that the mother was behind the kidnapping as well, and so she fled the city with the child and spend the rest of her life raising the child as her own and lied to her about her life's origin. Even going as far to tell her that her father was a soldier who died at war. And thus is revealed that t

Dollhouse has a few things in common with Breaking Bad.
-
They're both series that focused on characters who were technically the bad guys, yet were about to get you attached to them.
-
They both had characters who grow and change and become very different people by the end of the series.
-
They both changed up the status quo pretty frequently.
It's the last item that really struck me about Dollhouse, because it was the first time I'd ever seen a show do that. I distinctly recall previews of "On The Next Dollhouse..." that made me want to yell "you can't do that! If you keep doing things like this, you're going to run out of stories!" Of course, now I love that both this and Breaking Bad were finite series that ended before things started dragging.
The one flaw with Dollhouse that kept people from watching it was that the first five episodes were pretty rough. A few of them aren't terrible, but getting through the first five is a slog. (Episode 3 in particular was so awful that I nearly turned it off. I only stuck with it because Whedon kept saying there were better eps coming up.)
Recently I decided to try and make it easier for people to get into the show. I've re-edited the first five episodes into a single "first" episode that will let you skip right to ep 6 without missing anything important:

I'm hoping you'll have fun binging the rest of the series on Netflix. :-)
I'm not too picky but am having trouble finding something new to pick up.
A few series I've watched the past few years are:
- The Fall (just finished this. And it was amazing)
- Transparent
- Downton Abbey
- Breaking Bad
- LOST
- Fringe
- OITNB
- Mindy Project
- Mistresses (no shame)
- Survivor/Amazing Race (still no shame)
Not sure if all of that is needed, but basically I'm just looking for recommendations for anything that's addicting. I wanna fall into a showhole before I go back to work :)
I saw it for the second time yesterday and loved it (again). Adored the cast. What do you people think about it?

The painter had a canvas with an animated world in it. The show mainly focused on two kids, a boy and a girl, who were in the canvas, and the artist interacted with their world every now and then. The only episode I can remember was when the kids were trying to get into a Halloween party they weren't invited to. They asked the artist for help and he painted an alien costume on one of them. It worked, they got in. Sometime later a drink gets spilled on them, the paint washes off, and they get kicked out.
I saw this documentary in 2009/2010. The interview was held in a long hallway and in the background Mothman floated into the middle of the hallway, looked directly at the camera and then continued out of sight.
Hi everyone!
Since we spend quite a few minutes watching her glorious moves how about present her in the Real Housewifes TV series?
I think she could win the fame that she always wanted and we could see her interact with other rich ladies.
We could make a campaign for her.
Me, someone who read the books in elementary school. I got all the way to The Path of Daggers and then kinda forgot about it since there were no more books out at the time.
Some of the terms are a bit of a mess in my head because it's been over two decades and because I read it in three different languages since I didn't know English as a child in the dark ages, known as the 90s. I started with my native tongue, moved on to my home tongue since I was slightly more used to it and once I learned English I started reading it in the native tongue, bada bing bada boom, a solid mess of names and terms in my noggin.
All that said, I was quite excited when I heard about the TV series. Managed to get my wife, who has never read the books, intrigued about it.
A few things: When I saw the first episode I, like many here, was slightly taken aback by the speed they were running through everything, and some of the changes. The girls (who don't even get a name?) for Mat, the wife (had a name but I already forgot it) for Perrin, a bunch of the colourful townsfolk who were axed (no, not like that Perrin) from the show among other things.
But once I watched the second and third episode I started to see more and more glimpses of the story I was enthralled by when I was but a wee lad, imagining himself having a Grey Heron sword and a warders cloak but you know, they were actually a green towel and a wooden sword me and my dad made. But I did draw a (shitty) Grey Heron on it!
And now I'm on board and looking forward to the next episodes.

But!
Here's my suggestion on how I would've wanted to change the first few episodes.
The biggest issue of the beginning is that we have very, very little time to get to know any of the characters. Each of them gets essentially one scene which shows what kind of people they are and that's it. And then Moraine shows up, Aes Sedai's shit up, zaba zii zaba zuu, oh dear, we've got Trollocs attacking!
EPISODE I:
How about the first episode would be just about the town, about Egwene, Rand, Mat, Perrin and the townsfolk. Give us personalities and people and drama, give us something to grab onto! Show us what kind of people our four main Two Riverians are. Maybe let Perrin do some blacksmithing? Let Rand, uh, herd sheep and imagine the flame real hard. Let Egwene help run the inn. Let Mat try escape real work.
Just show us the calm (but boring for
I've been looking for any scripts for the cancelled NBC show Kings (2009) (here's the IMDb page if you're unfamiliar with the show). I'd prefer to find the pilot script but if any of you have a script for ANY of the episodes, it'd be greatly appreciated!
Per the guidelines - This is totally a personal request. I loved the show when it first came out and was devastated when it got cancelled. Just got the urge to take a look at a script for the show and my Googling skills were, apparently, not up to the task.
Thanks!
Been binging the show on Netflix lately, and it got me thinking. As a non-Libertarian, I really have to wonder, because on the one hand, this character is consistently shown to be one of the more reasonable, level-headed characters on the show, while at the same time his views often strike me as wingnut-level crazy. It really got me curious how actual libertarians see him.
Here are some examples of what I'm trying to say.
- Reviewing a cartoon that was meant for toddler/pre-schoolers
I truly agree with 'Just because it's for kids it doesn't excuse being bad' statement by Adam when he reviews Pixar/Disney movies. However what I'm trying to say isn't Pixar/Disney movies. The examples I want to use are the cartoons that are meant for toddlers, like the cartoons they put on Disney Junior channel (i.e. Doc McStuffins or Sofia the first). I know you'll be asking 'Why the fxck did you even watch those?', let's just say 'I was curious and bored'. I mean the cartoons were generally boring since it was predictable or alright, not really feeling anything, but kids would probably enjoy it. But that made me thought, 'Is it fair to review those cartoons that clearly wasn't intended for my age like I do with movies?'
- Reviewing a cartoon that was meant for my gender
I know 'This movie is only for girls/boys' argument is really stupid. But, after watching let's say 'Mama Mia', the first thought would be 'Yeah...this movie isn't for me, it's the type of movie my mother would love'. Do you think it's still fair to review it critically when the movie itself wasn't aimed to entertain your demographic?
