5/13/2017 - - - What ?? Ended after only 1 season ?? And they're gonna leave it just hanging there with no ending ?? What a freakin' ripoff !! Wouldn't all these stations be in a dump-load of trouble if everyone just decided to not get caught up in a series. They left me hanging that way with "Witches of East End" too. "Grimm" ended, but at least they took the time to end their tale properly. Now I hear "Sleepy Hollow" got canned ... they were just getting their groove back and have an open ended storyline ... At least "Once Upon A Time" gets another season and they're losing 5 or 6 of their main characters. I guess some stations just have more guts than others.



So far, I'm getting caught up in it. There's a lot going on to keep up with so it's def not a show for those who like keeping things simple. I always appreciate a good bit of "complex" to rattle my day (or night).

I'm finding this rendition of "Unfortunate Events" much better than the movie. While Jim Carrey's insanity added a certain spice to the character of Count Olaf, I'm also very impressed with the performance of Neil Patrick Harris in the role ....

So sad that this show only got one season. I was really enjoying it. Would have loved to see the Hatter play a part in it, but I think it carried well anyway. I loved the addition of the Genie (Alice's romantic interest) ... and his nemesis Jafar (borrowed from the Aladdin story). The actor playing Jafar was outstanding!
Then there was the Knave of Hearts ... aka Will Scarlet in the OUAT side of the portal and one of Robin Hood's merry men. He and his love, Anastasia (the Red Queen) had a really rough go of it.
I was glad of the fact that by the time they reached the end of the season, everyone reached a happily ever after point.
Nothing bothers me more than a series that simply stops and leaves loose ends all over the place.

Immediately thought of (1) "James Bond - Goldfinger" (1964) and then (2) "Austin Powers - Goldmember" (2002). Considering the episode was years before "Goldmember" was ever conceived of, I'm pretty sure the "Get Smart" guys may have been spoofing on the James Bond film released a couple of years earlier.

At one point I did have several notes on the episodes of Doctor Who, but that was on my other account which I somehow couldn't get back into one day. After several hours I finally gave up and created a new account. I guess eventually, I'll have to jump back into watching those episodes again so I can remember my commentaries ....

Need to figure out which episodes I've seen and where I've left off .....

More for the younger generation of viewers ... but entertaining ... definitely brings memories of Harry Potter to mind ... especially in Miss Hardbroom who seems to be channeling the "Professor Severus Snape" personna ... and the Ethel Hallow character who could easily be a Malfoy relative hands down.
Look forward to seeing more ....

Sorry to see it discontinued after it's third season. I had a feel that it had the stamina for another season or two.

Very interested in keeping up with this show, but can only access on Netflix. Will have to wait for Netflix to supply Season 3.

The show itself is pretty much excellent if you can keep up with who is double crossing who. However, I'm a little miffed that they chose to connect witches and their craft with Satanic motivation.

Caught up and waiting for a new season :)

Didn't get to tune into the series when it was active, but it re-runs on ION Television on Sundays :)
