Skipping the bystander chorus was the right choice, even though we missed out on Anthony Stewart Head Though the musical pieces aren't overly showy they all hit the right spot Devon makes a good point and Drew agrees Longwinded conversation about Nightmare Before Christmas Drew likes goth girls... why's he hatin'? I miss Alan Rickman Wait... Edward Scissorhands wasn't a musical? Should watch Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, again All the songs felt like they belonged and actively assist the plot and now Romeo, you must die Of course, Dev talks about Wonder Woman Suckerpunch, terrible movie; te best visuals Bjork is Bestk Batfleck is one of the best Batmen, y'all just get trapped by the terrible script Wait... wtf. Why are they talking about Divergent? Famous Musical... The Hunger Games Notice me eFap sempai Avoided poetically tragic ending by going with purely tragic ending Lack of redemption arc When times are tough, resort to cannibalisms ... Hash tag, Disney films aren't musicals

He's the coolest; He's so dreamy. This piece is a fanfic of the original Film Lily is a self insert, like a teen inserting themselves into a beloved story via fanfic Poor vehicle for feminist messaging Buffy did it better Drew is still not a 17 year old girl Such poor characterization and writing that the other girls of the coven might as well have not been there Everything that made The Craft good was discarded and the opposite chosen and in turn made this film not good Lily overcame nothing, she didn't evolve or grow To be fair Instead of having simple characters that didn't enhance the plot or Lily. The Film could have been a great piece about sisterhood banding together against the big bad. What can I say, Duchovny has a thing for Red Shoes None of what made The Craft great can be found in The Craft Legacy Yes, Twilight has more character progression than TCL TCL goes out of its way to take away the meaning behind Timmy coming out Inconsistent hodgepodge of magic systems Tammy and Lourdes had the foundation to be interesting Lourdes could have been a great, an icon. Comparing duality, diving feminine in relation to being trans. Drew and Dev talk about the Covenant for some reason Ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny is always best served with a hug Where's the balance, where's the consequences? Namaste Are we the baddies?

Unfortunate that we did not get to explore Inara much in the film Drew and Devon reading far too much into the fact that Inara was using a bow Serenity completely abandoned Jayne's growth as a character from Firefly Muddled representation of the relationship of Jayne and Kailey Zoey being a strong, complex and fully thought out character Wash just being a way to express and motivate Zoey's character Drew talking about Final Fantasy 7 for some reason Zoey was Mal's Foil not his mirror Drew talking about Boondock Saints for some reason Wash was a thumb The small amount of Book we had was the perfect amount If River is actually psychic it means that Firefly has ghosts She always loved to dance Dev talking about Avatar the Last Air Bender for some reason Theorizing about Firefly season 2 Was a great standalone but a flawed cap to the series Alliance bad, River cool, Wash useless, Kayley being amazing #NotPsychic ...

Wash: - Being the grounding factor in a conversation? Inconceivable Simon: - Has more balls than people give him credit for - His Whedon-isms show his character growth over all. He has integrated into the crew - Nice to see he has the same fire for Kaylee as he does for River Kaylee: - Thoughts and heart is on her sleeve; this is why River can read her - The terror you see from her is amazing when dealing with Early - p Mal: - He personifies "Instinct" in this episode - Nice to see him trusting in River, to the point he fights his instinct - Nice range of emotions showing the weight of everything happening Sheppard: River picks up on something with Book, much like the audience would be - Not trying to save the crew, even though they are not innocent/Righteous Inara: - She has the ability to "read" as well as seen with her interaction with Early - You can tell that she was torn between leaving and staying, and see it through every scene she is in Early: - Is he similar to River? Hard no from Drew - Has a lot of "River-isms" > Likely there to help with the mirroring of the overall theme Nothing big with Wash, Zoe, and Jayne, but they react as expected in the situation ... You're just sitting there watching Deadpool, and are like "I love you Inara"

The exploration of Mal and Inara Awesome accents The long overdue Inara Episode Theory crafting Companion Training Nandy is a good mirror to Inara Nandy shouldn't have been killed off :( This episode feels like a Mid-season "finale"; lots set up, but unable to follow through sadly Inara: - Seeing her with her friends - Finally admitting her feelings for Mal - Needing to keep Mal at a distance, and how being confronted with her feelings hit - Detachment as part of companion training - Not ready to give everything up, like Simon, or just a need to be independent/afraid of what a family can be? - Great acting in how she portrays the hurt she feels - Inara caused her own pain, by pushing Mal away - Some of her relationship interactions didn't have the leadup - Is this the reason for Inara leaving, or a catalyst for her own story arc to take off - Is Inara running from something? Mal: - Always professional and this lets Inara keep him at arms reach - Finally being blunt about the relationship with Inara - Mal likely did not know Inara had feelings for him - Wash/Zoe: - Baby talk, and works to actually reveal some of Wash's personality - Afraid to risk - Confirmed he is the only there as the funny one The show could work with our Wash, but not without Zoe Kayley - Knows the ship, and know how to use it to fight the invaders Zoe: - Wants a family ... The only important thing that happened in this episode was that Kayley was adorable
