Sorta watching the pilot episode of Beauty and the Beast reboot on CW. It really has nothing in common with the original. And the Beast? Looks like this is more a rip-off of Teen Wolf than a remake of the classic Linda Hamilton/Ron Perlman show from the 90s. My mom loved that show, used to watch it with her every now and then. And the big obstacle between Catherine and Vincent was that he looked like a FREAKIN' LION! ALL. THE. TIME!

I like Kristen Kreuk, I think she's very pretty, but I'm not sure it's enough to get me through this show. Not even sure if I can finish this pilot. Ugh.

Yeah, no, this is stupid. If he's not the beast the whole time, there's no point in me wasting my time with this when I've got Teen Wolf to catch up on.

I did make it through the pilot of Arrow which has me intrigued. At first I thought it was just going to be a Batman rip-off, but Queen is MUCH darker. He has not issues with causing pain or flat out killing people. I want to see how they handle making him likeable - or if they even can. Vengeance can be seductive BUT it has a price. Batman never killed people and it allowed him to be dark and broody but still likeable because you know he never stoops to the level of murder. But that seems to be Arrow's whole plan. So I will watch a few more episodes and see where it is all going. Anti-heroes don't play well with me...

Have NOT watched American Horror Story: Asylum yet so NO SPOILERS! I think we're going to watch it Sunday. I'm going to make [livejournal.com profile] maybedeadcat watch with me so 1) I have somewhere to hide when it gets scary and 2) so I have someone to flail with immediately when it gets crazy.

Still very happy with Grimm. Catching up now on last week's episode. Tease in the intro was cruel.

Need to watch Once Upon a Time next. Also very happy with that.

Not going to watch Walking Dead. Just not going to happen after the aggravating debacle that was last season.

I agree with you on Beauty -- gave it a chance, but just wasn't impressed enough to give it a second episode. It seemed particularly lacking of special effects in terms of the Beast makeup (but of course, he has to remain 'hot'), and I saw the ending coming.

I'm very happy with OUAT as well.

Yeah, just felt like a crappy werewolf show, wanna-be Teen Wolf. Oh well, just freed up some space in my viewing schedule :D
