@NintendoByNature I know plenty of "not done" Italian sayings about women as well. Used to have several Italian friends, and they enlightened me on the more choice words and phrasings of Italian players...
(and I don't mean game players)

@ThanosReXXX lol yea you shouldve heard the bickering my grandparents did to each Other. Lot of Italian swear words being used that they thought i didn't know.
It became more of a game after a while trying to make me laugh with their arguments until 1 of them dug too deep. Then my grandfather would notoriously laughingly apologize for saying what he said. It was great.
@NintendoByNature Well, I didn't really mean swear words, just more like "invented" Italian sayings.
The only one that'll still pass the bar here, is this one:
"Women should be like the stars: appear at night and be gone in the morning"...
And then of course said in Italian, which at least makes it sound romantic, if you haven't got a clue what they're talking about. And of course, said with a broad smile, making it seem even less suspicious.
@ThanosReXXX I get it. And love those kinds of inside jokes with friends. The best laughs are not shared with everyone, but your select group of people, imo.
I just wanted to let you know how it used to be at my grandparents. It truly was, the best show on earth when they would get going.
@NintendoByNature Ah, I'll have to re-watch that one, because I honestly can't remember anymore what they were like.
@Tasuki I do believe he did reply, or you missed it. Although: missed it... You didn't really miss all that much, from the looks of it. Best to leave it as is, since you're not getting anywhere near a common ground, or not even a simple "agree to disagree".
@ThanosReXXX Yep I posted my finally thoughts on the subject. At this point the fool will hang himself and get banned either that or figure out that his opinions aren't facts and get bored and leave the site. Either way it wont hurt my feelings. Still I am surprised Octane or Eel hasn't closed the thread yet and given him a warning.

@Tasuki Well, between me and @BruceCM, we called in those two mods, and seeing as neither of them has done anything yet, I guess the transgressions weren't bad enough after all. But you made the right decision regardless. I also don't understand why he reacts so extreme to you. I've finally managed to flip him around where I'm concerned, but the same definitely can't be said for you.
Oh, well. You can't win 'em all, you know...
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@ThanosReXXX Yep and given his latest post to me he has it out for me. It's cool though I just report his antagonist posts towards me and I am sure he will be gone one way or another.

Four pages. You guys have got to stop advancing this thread so much when I'm away.
@ThanosReXXX I will indeed kill the new Charmed series with fire if it ever attempts to cross onto my property. It doesn't sound like it's as...deep, in a sense. From what I have seen of the original series, they touched on some pretty interesting issues there.
As for Grimm: Dang, I'd love a spin-off that featured Trubel; she was one of my favorite characters! Though I'd settle for more of the Grimm universe in general. The lore that went into the show was always of great interest to me; I spent quite a bit of time on the official website reading through pages on Wesen and other bits and bobs related to the series. I'd love if there was a written compendium of sorts that profiles all creatures (Wesen and otherwise) that have been featured in the series.
I am grateful that the show at least had an ending, even though it felt rushed; I just wish they'd had another episode or two to help round things out nicely. As you mentioned, some shows end abruptly or (like with My Name Is Earl, mentioned in one of the links) are left with an endless cliffhanger. Then there are those soap operas that rehash the same stuff over and over and OVER again, and never end....I think the one my parents followed has had half the cast married to each other at least once by this point lol.
@bimmy-lee I would love to see that entire sequence spectacularly animated. XD No clue how many tall tales I read as a kid....I was a bona fide bookworm. I still am in a sense, but I don't read nearly as much as I used to. My adult brain finds it harder to block things out and can only read in spurts. I first noticed the shortened attention span in late high school/early college.
@ThanosReXXX - See, you heard it from Joe Domestic himself: He’s an awful dogtator. He probably runs an underground puppy petting ring.
@Tyranexx - Loved a good tall tale when I was a kid. I too have struggled with making time to read and reading effectively for a while. I did burn out a bit towards the end of college as well, but I rebounded a few years later and settled in a nice routine for quite a while until getting sporadic again in my mid 30s. Hopefully I can get it back on track again.
@Tyranexx Haha, yeah. And the funny thing is, if you stop to think about it, that people will watch those like a hawk, while in real life, they'll protest and/or feel offended at just about anything that you'll see in these soaps. And what with all the family and relative "intertwining", you'd also have to wonder how the heck all of the resulting children are born completely normal, instead of with some kind of deficiency...
The thing about these reboots is that, in all honesty, I figure that the producers also are in a bit of a catch 22 here, because if they just rehash the old, it's not going to attract new viewers, and if they make it TOO different, they alienate the veteran viewers, who actually WILL want to have more of the same, so in some ways, they can never win. Although sometimes, it works, albeit mostly in movies, not so much in series. And Charmed 2.0 is just too much of everything: too self-aware, too bad-@ss, too much political correctness, obligatory same gender relationships, the aforementioned colored women, those women basically also being die-hard feminists, flimsy back story, social media, and the list goes on and on...
Here, have a gander, so you'll know it's not just salty, old "fan of the original series only" me:
About Grimm: I had those two pages in my browser's history, because I actually never saw the last 1,5 seasons, and it wasn't on TV here anymore, which is why I downloaded all of them, and that is also when I found out that the last season was considerably shorter. So, I looked up some information online, to find out the what's what, and that is when I found these articles.
I never even realized that there was an official website that went that far into the lore. I mean, obviously, I expect any self respecting show to have an official site and/or fan forum, but usually it's just bog standard, bare bones stuff, which is why I hardly ever bother with it.
The only series I ever did bother to devour every piece of information about, was The Witchblade, but that was also because I was already completely into it from having started on the comics, and the TV show obviously came much later.

@bimmy-lee Ha, I'll believe that if I see the pictures...
The truth of it is probably that he still plays that cute puppy game on the Wii, called The Dog Island, all under the guise of "the children" liking it so much. Or one-eyed Jack...
By the way, did you already give that free Island Savers game? I'm sure your kids will like it, and maybe even love it. I even like it, and I'm not even the target audience. That didn't stop me from playing it again today, though.
And even if I wanted to deny that, I couldn't, because @WoomyNNYes was spying on me playing it...
