July 24, BBCAmerica debut of Being Human Series 2
I watched ABC Family's Huge, both the premiere and episode 2, and I like them, but not nearly enough to compete with The Closer. Huge is much closer to the sort of television show I would expect from ABC Family (than Pretty Little Liars): sweet, a wee bit didactic, a smidge too transparent with its heartstring pulling. On the other hand, I may try to keep up with it online. I'm enjoying Nikki Blonski as Will, and seeing Gina Torres in the role of an uncertain person is interesting, too. (I really want more definition of Becca/Raven Goodwin [black, very shy, but a lot braver than I would have expected] and Chloe/Ashley Holliday [Latina, very stylish, seems to have ruled the social last year but now displaced in favor of Amber], who seem like potentially interesting characters, but are neglected in favor of Amber [who is actually sort of interesting as a girl who has been ¿neglected, ignored? and is now The It Girl, except for this terrible crush on the male fitness instructor] and Ian, who's just this boring white dude.) If you like high school students, or fat people who are treated as characters instead of The Fat One, this may be relevant to your interests. But it's definitely not appointment TV.
i am human and i need to be loved victoria p. This sort of strikes me as railing against human nature? I mean, yeah, arguments would be more productive if people slowed down and read closely and made nuance-y statements instead of staking out positions and fiercely defending them, but, uh, (a) it's a really normal way to talk about things (b) I'm a lot less defeatist on the question of whether or not, because that's the most visible way of talking, it's drowning out people doing the consideration and thinking she's looking for (c) I'm not convinced that all of these discussions have compromise positions to get to. (Also, the way victoria's interacting with people in the comments who don't particularly agree with her on the tragic state of our discourse is somewhat ironic.)
