JLA Adventures: Trapped In Time Review (Spoilers)
Just heard about a new DC Comics direct to video movie yesterday sold exclusively at Target. Picked it up and thought I'd share my thoughts. Long story short: for a cheapo, quicky DTV it is NOT Brainiac Attacks. For my full review, read below the fold

Dads "Bully Gene" - So a series turning point or just a fluke?
Parks And Recreation "Farmers Market" - That was a good rant, and you've got a great point with the line "Pop culture has stopped reflecting behavior and started dictating it." That's very true in a lot of cases, but I did think this episode had a point. Sometimes all women want is sympathy and all men hear is "Fix the problem". I saw a funny video once about a woman with a pencil stuck in her brain and she was complaining about having a headache and all the pain and her boyfriend kept suggesting she remove the pencil and she kept getting angry that he was trying to fix things and not listening to her. I will say Ann should've told Chris her issue right from the start, though. Leslie's crusade was funny, as was the way she and Ben kept trying to work within the rules they set.
Dracula "Four Roses" - This show has gotten GOOD. All your complaints about how stupid a move Dracula made are valid. I'm kind of wondering how much control Dracula has over the vampires he turns, though. He can easily keep Lucy in check if that's how the rules work here. If they are closer to Buffy rules, then Lucy is a loose cannon and everyone is in trouble.

Dads: Fluke. My next two reviews will make that clear. And to be honest the episode was still pretty terrible because it was badly written and I still hated all of the characters. I just gave it three stars because I laughed a few times.
Parks And Recreation: I don't think that just because a LOT of women don't want to fix their problems that ALL women don't. That's all I'm saying. I am VERY proud of that Parks and Rec review so I'm glad you noticed that it was particularly good. I'm starting to get better at this reviewing stuff. My Simpsons Season 16 review will be epic.
Dracula: Hey, you're right. We DON'T know if Drac can control other vampires. If that's the case next season should be interesting (Assuming there is one).
How far along into Doctor Who are you now? I'll repost my reviews once you are caught up.

...of course, playing with it would involve repeatedly bashing the characters with a rubber ball, so you might still haev a point there.

Dads: Gotcha. Three stars by Dads standards.
Parks And Recreation: Yeah, totally agreed.
Dracula: I feel like this show kind of takes for granted the fact that people already know the general gist of vampire lore and how it works, but they can sort of make their own rules.
Can you believe it took me over a month to finish Torchwood? Seven disks! About to start the first Sarah Jane

Dads The season finale will get the first positive grade I've ever given the show.
Dracula: Yeah, I didn't even take into account the fact that Drac has special vampire controlling powers.
Doctor Who: Keep going. After that go to Doctor Who Season Three.
Side-note: Wasn't the first season of Torchwood absolutely terrible? I cannot get over how bad it was. I don't blame you for taking so long to get through it. Sarah Jane will be easier and I'm betting you fly through season three of Doctor Who too.

As for Torchwood, the shift into a more adult territory was jarring and the characters made me kind of uncomfortable...especially Owen, but even Gwen eventually. I keep hearing how cool Ianto is, but he doesn't do much. And Jack wasn't what I was expecting after his first appearance.
