It's like a pumpkin family portrait! <br /><br />Your low-key approach with the lawn looks quite tasteful.<br /><br />I envy the neat and tidy interior display. I imagine your party guests were thrilled and delighted.<br /><br />As much as I and my partner love Halloween, I understand that the spirit doesn't always come easily and sometimes a break is needed to get a refresh.<br /><br />Happy Halloween!Nina Huffneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135550771110356668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583759.post-87089696022800019182018-08-26T07:25:00.179-05:002018-08-26T07:25:00.179-05:00grtgrtShwetabloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945314996642903763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583759.post-33202388133151430802018-01-19T10:18:28.226-06:002018-01-19T10:18:28.226-06:00I can understand why you and several others feel D...I can understand why you and several others feel Discovery isn't as faithful to the franchise as it could be. I think one of the reasons I do love it so much is because I'm trying to assess it as a series on its own, not necessarily connected to all the Star Treks that came before. And of course even though I like Discovery, that doesn't mean I love the older Star Treks any less (Next Gen and Voyager will probably always be my favorites). For me, I think it's a case of loving Discovery and previous Star Treks for different reasons, since they are so different, but not loving one over the other. ;)Alexa Gravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16250741051279927895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583759.post-56057823727595898582018-01-19T07:35:41.152-06:002018-01-19T07:35:41.152-06:00Put me in the Hardcore-Trekker-who-was-Disappointe...Put me in the Hardcore-Trekker-who-was-Disappointed camp. I couldn't get past the first episode. It was so far removed from Gene Roddenberry's vision and from the original series as to be unrecognizable as "Star Trek". J.J. Abrams' reboot was the worst thing to ever happen to the franchise, and this continuation of an "alternate universe" isn't getting any better.<br /><br />But I'm glad you're enjoying the series, and that's what counts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583759.post-32701606850800814192018-01-05T12:27:40.097-06:002018-01-05T12:27:40.097-06:00Thank you!

I had some concerns when they showed Dr. Death that they were going to set up some kind of catfight, but they avoided that and really did a great job all around (although I have some issue with it being Sir Patrick).

I loved the humor in the first Avengers movie, but it felt forced most times in the second. But yes, both Guardians movies did well with the humor! I can't wait until the third installment. =DAlexa Gravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16250741051279927895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583759.post-12596785307998970092017-05-26T08:23:36.604-05:002017-05-26T08:23:36.604-05:00Funny thing is, when I first saw Baby Groot I got ...Funny thing is, when I first saw Baby Groot I got worried that they were going to go all Jar-Jar-Bink on us movie viewers. You know, the same way that Avengers - The Will-this-never-end Age of Ultron went with all the stupid quips in place of real superhero action. I had the same concern the first time I saw a picture of that damn raccoon and I had worried that the first GUARDIANS was going to stink up the joint. But both GUARDIANS 1 and 2 blew my mind and are a couple of my favorite superhero movies. They hit that hard-to-hit line between too cute to live and gut-belly-laughter. They made it work.<br /><br />Good review.<br /><br />Good movie. <br /><br />I'm going to buy me a dvd of it when I get the chance! :)Steve Vernonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440447782487418129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583759.post-24605952297606923982017-01-27T14:54:22.984-06:002017-01-27T14:54:22.984-06:00Sounds awesome!Sounds awesome!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04617380060508141772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583759.post-47800583076701077742016-10-01T16:33:52.113-05:002016-10-01T16:33:52.113-05:00Exactly!!

It's THAT powerful to have it back.<br /><br />I miss the shadowy darkness of the earliest episodes, and how they'd make things creepier by not showing much, but the brighter (and bluer) view as well as the gore makes me think of Fringe, which I've already headcannoned as an offshoot of the XFiles anyway, so. <br /><br />But Oh my god, we have four more episodes, and I really want this to go well for them so they'll keep making more, even if they're in BBC-length seasons like this!Samantha Hollowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976242240657795974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583759.post-78860981397558287012015-08-12T12:58:49.393-05:002015-08-12T12:58:49.393-05:00My pleasure!My pleasure!Alexa Gravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16250741051279927895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583759.post-16307444983136550232015-08-12T11:09:33.341-05:002015-08-12T11:09:33.341-05:00Whoops - Alexa! lolWhoops - Alexa! lolChris Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628682876855958199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583759.post-62171086401498634872015-08-12T11:09:18.695-05:002015-08-12T11:09:18.695-05:00Thanks so much for hosting me, Alex!Thanks so much for hosting me, Alex!Chris Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628682876855958199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583759.post-21139120220566423322014-02-27T19:39:33.998-06:002014-02-27T19:39:33.998-06:00This is how it's been with me-- almost word fo...This is how it's been with me-- almost word for word.Queen of Mental Vomithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530968615088198225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583759.post-67912876138765815072013-10-30T18:06:39.777-05:002013-10-30T18:06:39.777-05:00I'm doing a report and i would like to know wh...I'm doing a report and i would like to know when you were born.
