Since this is my last Still Star-Crossed review (I’m side-eyeing you, ABC, I really am), forgive me if I get a bit …maudlin. Contemplative, even. I’ve never pretended this show was a masterpiece, or even that it was attempting to tell a groundbreaking story. I, however, have always stated thatRead More →
‘Hell is Empty and All the Devils are Here’ aired last night, and we same some thoughts. Weird thoughts. Not as much to say as we normally do, but well …we still have things to say. We kinda always do. So, without further ado, here are our quick thoughts aboutRead More →
Considering that we already know this show is likely cancelled, you’d think that the experience of watching it would be somewhat depressing, or that there’d be this overwhelming feeling of defeat hanging around every second, every tweet, and every word I write about it. And yet, strangely enough, I don’tRead More →
It’s been a couple of weeks. We’ve changed time-slots. ABC has pretty much thrown the towel on this show, which is not exactly surprising, but it is disappointing. Look, I’m not going to pretend Still Star-Crossed was groundbreaking television plot-wise or that the ratings were spectacular, but when a showRead More →
This can’t be good news. And yet, we refuse to accept that it’s bad news. We just refuse. THR reports that ABC is moving ‘Still Star-Crossed” to Saturdays, and also sending it on a short break – with the next new episode set to air on July 8th. Ratings wereRead More →
After a week break where I honestly missed this show more than I expected us, our favorite trope-filled hour of escapism is back, and this time, the plot picks up, we get way less of Escalus and his pining for Rosaline and more of what we’re here for – theRead More →
The first episode of Still Star-Crossed was a trope covered in tropey syrup and topped with a very tropey cherry. The second episode was …a little more of the same, if slightly less entertaining. Yes, the episode was needed. The show needed to set up Escalus as a good manRead More →
I love Shakespeare. I was one of the ones in school that never fought the Shakespeare lessons and yearned to understand instead. I was captivated by the time of yore, and wondering just what it must have been like to live back then. The gorgeous dresses, the beautiful paintings, theRead More →
I must admit I approached this show with trepidation. I have a love/hate relationship with Shonda Rhimes in general, in that I love her brilliant mind but I hate how many times she’s broken my heart by taking away my favorites, and thus I must prefer to avoid anything sheRead More →
One show that we are anxiously awaiting this summer is Still Starcrossed. We figure it has to be good, since it took Terrance Coombs away from Reign and effectively destroyed the show for us. But also because we are really into the whole idea of Romeo and Juliet stories. TheyRead More →
Who doesn’t love a good Romeo and Juliet story? We know we do. But when we talk about where it left off – who really knows what happened? Good thing for us, Shondaland knows what we want and that’s where Still Star-Crossed comes into our lives. We totally admit thatRead More →
