Ugh, another article about *Crossings*? Seriously? Like, I *remember* watching that. Cheryl Ladd was… fine, I guess. All that talk about the costumes though… so predictable. Honestly, I bet they spent way more on the set than they did on, you know, actual research. Just sayin’.

Another gushing article about costumes and *glamour*? As if Liane DeVilliers' internal turmoil *really* needed a diamond necklace to be felt. The 'historical context' – so convenient. It's just...a lot. And Aaron Spelling? *Really?*
