Viacom and Amazon.Com are hatching a nefarious plan to take over the minds of our children. Or is it their hearts? Wallets?
Yeah, that’s right, it’s all about the $$$. What’s that, you say? Our kids don’t have any money? Of course not. But we do, and good parents will do anything to make their kids happy, right…?
What the flipping hell are we talking about? Just trying to translate this press release from Amazon and Viacom. You know TVWriter™. We live to serve. Here’s the original wording:
Well, here’s Isabella Kapur writing about something Wil wrote about on Tumblr a couple-three days ago, so maybe he does:
by Isabella KapurIt’s been less than a week since Matt Smith officially announced his departure from Doctor Who and the speculation is already in full force. But while websites place odds on various actors and actresses, from Zawe Ashton to Russell Tovey, the identity of the actor truly chosen appears to have made it’s way to Wil Wheaton.

by Peggy BechkoEvery once in a while I’m asked by a reader, a fan, “what do YOU read?”
You mean besides my own work over and over and over again to edit, catch mistakes and generally polish?
I read a lot. A lot as in a huge volume of material and ‘a lot’ as in variety of material. So I belong toGoodreads and share some of my books there.
The new season of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT was a big hit for Netflix. So big that there’s talk about bringing the show back for another “televised” encore.
However, a lot of viewers had problems with the structure and editing of the show, which was different from the TV version in days of yore, concentrating around individual characters instead of blipping around (no, that’s not a technical term you never heard of, just a word we made up) and intercutting between characters and stories. They felt that the ensemble effect that was part of the charm of the original was lost.
Herbie J. Pilato is one of our favorite writers on the subject most dear to our heart: Television. He’s been part of the TVWriter™ family since the site first sprang onto the interwebs in the ’90s. So it’s with great joy that we present:
I didn’t hate Star Trek Into Darkness.
I just didn’t love it.
