RVsT: Intriguing premise pulled off remarkably well. One of the few 'crossovers' that make sense.

Prime Suspect: Excellent storytelling.

Either

- some people have a very different interpretation of camp than I do
or

Very, very cool.

One query about RVsT:

what was the point of going ba ...

I don't think it has any particular significance to the characters, bar the references to the future. It's just a typical mid-tempo ballad sung by two singers well past their commercial peak.

I think we can all agree that this is a heart wrenching scene, but it's always bothered me how we get this scene and noting to do with it afterwards.

However, if we look at how it is depicted in th ...

From the Ma ...

Re-read this the other day after a conversation with friends.

Although I acknowledge it's a first draft, I can't deny that this script is utter shite. In a way it feels like it was written by peopl ...
