I love the song, it sounds fantastic! I'll be humming it forever, now. I was really worried that it would be too showtunish, but I actually really love it. The podcast review, though, is really meandering and not fun to listen to. It also sounds like they just totally didn't get the humor. The unceremonious deadpan delivery is kind of the point, although I guess that's hard to comprehend when you've only got the movie as a comparison. "That's gotta be hard to find, I mean, I don't know anyone who's a big fan of Lemony Snicket!" ...ha... yeah, hated it too they just tried to compare it to the movie, at least we know that the people who only saw the movie aren't gonna hate the series after they watch it also they just saw the first two episodes soooo....

Found another review in the form of a podcast, clicked play to listen, and found a surprise! They included a preview of the theme song ("Look Away") as the intro! I really was wanting to save that reveal for the show premiere, so... whoops! But I'm sure there are other people interested to hear it (spoiler alert: it's pretty awesome), so this is the link: www.theperiodictableofawesome.com/a-series-of-unfortunate-events-review-tptoa-podcast-05/EDIT: I'm in the process of listening to the podcast and the creators actually included a snippet from the show as well. It sounds like the opening lines from Lemony Snicket ("If you are interested in stories with happy endings..."). I'm going to skip over that, but if you want to hear it it's around the 15:20 mark. Has a sort of hint of the Gothic Archies songs, nice! thought the same too! gotta love Daniel Handler

Just got my copy of Entertainment Weekly and it has their review of the show. They gave it an A- and called it the Must Watch of the Week. I transcribed their review on my review thread. They also had a feature on ASOUE in their Winter TV Show preview. It had a new interview quotes from Daniel Handler and Barry Sonnenfeld and a new still (Olaf with the Bald Man outside his house... at least I think that's new) and a look at two of the sets: the town outside Lake Lachrymose and the Reptile Room. If anyone wants me to scan either in (the review and/or the feature), let me know! yes please!!

While my mum and I were out shopping the other day, I spotted this magazine. Of course I was so excited, my mum let me buy it. XD I haven't had the chance to read the article in full yet, though, but it certainly does look promising now. Do not let me down, NPH. Or I will murder you. those pictures are from the photoshoot that was being held when the Netflix Snapchat account first posted ASOUE stuff!

Okay, so, I HIGHLY doubt the twist a bunch of the reviews keep alluding to is that the Baudelaire parents are alive. Or that, if that is the twist they're referring to, I'm assuming that it's just misleadingly presented that way and that whomever the show is presenting as a set of parents are actually not the Baudelaire Parents, just, again, a misleading red herring referred to in such a way that the audience is meant to make the wrong inference and assume that they are the Baudelaire parents. Furthermore, even if that really is the twist, I want to say upfront that I would definitely have VERY mixed feelings about that particular twist and am not completely sure how I'd feel about it on a consistency and emotional level ... HOWEVER, with all of that being said, how insane of a twist would that be? Like holy crap. It'd be a heck of a cheap way for the show to hit us all where it hurts (the parts of all of us that's secretly thinking we know more than non-readers), but I can't say it wouldn't be an effective one. I feel the same. Reviewers aren't really fans that know everything. I think they may be trying to introduce the 'snicket file' from the start so the whole series has a cohesive plot to develop I'm not realy that scary of the twist if it is the idea that maybe the parents could be alive, revealing at the end that they're referring to other people's parents

Having their parents be alive would be the dumbest change and disappointing. The whole series is because they're real orphans. Also, what makes ppl think it's cobie smulders? i know there's that picture of everyone infront of the mill, but that lady barely looks like her. I can say that's will arnett but her, not sure about that. If she is ok i'm wrong, but I personally don't think that she gonna be in the show well, Cobie was in a party where the whole cast attended back in july, and in the picture infront of the mill it looks like her... she's definitely in the show.

what a time to be alive! i can't believe the praise it's receiving from this reviews! they're applauding Neil's performace, so it'll hopefully change people's minds! (i'm so tired of the Jim Carrey comparisons) next week can't come soon enough!

From the GameSpot review: "It's worth mentioning there are others stellar performances by Alfre Woodward, Joan Cusack, Catherine O'Hara, Don Johnson, and two other actors that have been surprisingly kept secret." Wonder who they could be? My first thought was Cobie Smulders and Will Arnett, thought to be a pair of parents from the Lucky Smells photograph, but it could be anyone. From the same review, we get the following line: "From the very first episode, even die-hard fans will find themselves amazed over a new twist incorporated into the plot." So it sounds to me very much like this is the parents-surviving-the-fire twist that the script excerpts have already hinted at (as indeed did the books, without ultimately pursuing it). Also worth noting is that the AV Club review says that the episodes are forty-two minutes long. an article i just read said the episodes range from 42-63 minutes can't find the article now

I do think they are referring to Cobie Smulders and Will Arnett. They've been kept secret to the general audience, but we kind of knew they were part of the series
