Only reading this did I realize it didn’t say “bear bar”. I just assumed it was a gay bar, it made more sense than “beer bar”.

So cute. You’ve got those “don’t talk to me on the street” SF headphones. I approve.

It holds up, and it’s also my favorite sharing a spot with Valis, because I don’t want to choose between them.

I don’t love musicals in particular, but aren’t anti-musical, and I felt the same. The songs weren’t memorable, the numbers were a bit dull, and nobody really danced much except for extras that they hired that were clearly dancers. If you’re going to pull of a musical, gotta go big, SNW didn’t go big.

So, the time has finally come. I want to mention that I’m not a huge fan of musicals, this translates to that tend to only watch them if external circumstances push me to watch one and I only enjoy if they’re really well done. Well, circumstances have pushed me, and… it was meh.

I thought the songs weren’t particularly memorable, the productions were a bit underwhelming and the dancing nearly non-existent.

That moment was when the show lost me, it was ridiculous. It reminded me of those old Art Frahm pinup posters where they depicted, against all physics and plausible circumstance, a woman’s underwear suddenly dropping down around her ankles from under her dress in public.

No. In my experience Buffy was an exception, they pulled off the stunt and it managed to work within the context of a magical universe. Most of the time these shows end up falling flat at best, cringe at worst. Not sure why Star Trek feels like they need to attempt it.
