The trope of a “completely average” protagonist with no distinct characterization or motives who barely exists in his own story beyond a conduit for the viewer to project himself onto, who somehow has everyone fall in love with him for no reason and complement for existing and doing basic things, makes me want to see blood like nothing else.
No, I avoid that kind of stuff. This is why I watched the similar but very different Diabolik Lovers instead where instead of falling in love with the protagonist, the vampires are drawn to his blood as he carries the heart of some important vampire or something.
Female version was "Ally McBeal." I mean, don't get me wrong. Calista Flockhart was an attractive woman in the day (might still be) but in a law firm with Courtney Thorne-Smith, Lucy Liu, Portia DeRossi (to name just three) in their primes, it was pretty ridiculous that every single man in Boston was drooling over the skinny neurotic girl every week.
To be fair, Courtney Thorne-Smith's character was married, Portia DeRossi's didn't come on until season 2, and Lucy Liu's later still.
Still, subject to whatever Downey was doing at the time, Ally seemed to get more desirable, not less, as the show went on.
I liked Alan Shore, by the same writer, a fair bit more. He was unethical, smug, sexually harassing, but devilishly charming in a way only James Spader can, and certainly not boring. Now, as to why Denny Crane seemed to have no troubles getting around, that remains a mystery to me.
Mechanical watches stopping working Whenever there is something going down that takes out all electrical systems in an area all mechanical watches ( wristband, those big grandfather clocks, on belltowers etc) also stop working, it even happens when there's time travel involved. Why? These are mechanical devices, they work on physical principles that don't involve electricity and are not dependent on the flow of time. Bugs me everytime.
I'm no coffee drinker but new one - someone gets up in the morning, walks into the kitchen and pours a cup of coffee from the coffee machine. Did that coffee sit overnight there ( in which case it should be horrible i assume) or who made it in the morning?
Yep. A lot home devices have such features. Off the top of my head, both my dishwasher and Instant pot do.
Lol this reminds me of when Disney had this show and a character had like three or four different types of BBQ's and people on a BBQ forum were like "See? We have representation! This character is just like just! Disney is great!" And I replied with "It's product placement. Disney charges those companies to have their products in it" And I was promptly informed by 50 or so people that Disney would never do anything just for the money, product placement is not something they would ever consider, it's all character development. All hail Disney! I don't bother posting there anymore.
Next time they'll be trying to tell us that TV shows and movies exist for any reason other than to sell ads.
