That's Cassie Hack. If Wonder Woman were a slasher-hunting goth girl, it would be her. It's relevant.

In reply to this comment by blankfist:
Wonder woman wouldn't approve of the new girl. Not in the slightest.

I wish I was Sylvia! I would be proud to admit such amazing work.
However I am 'dark' and pasty. heh.

I was kind of wondering the same thing. However, if she were Sylvia Ji but denied it, I wouldn't blame her. People need their privacy. Even nobodies like me. >> ^rottenseed:
So are you Sylvia Ji, or do you just appreciate her art?

I picked up on that too. I've long thought of that look as 'Mexican goth'. Looks much better than pasty-faced pretty boys who act with their hair. >> ^dystopianfuturetoday:
I see a little dios de los muertos influence too. Beautiful.

I love her shitty choker and wrist bands, accompanied by pig tails and black make up...yet she has a lab coat on. Like her boss was like: "You can dress like a cry-baby goth, but you gotta wear a lab coat". Man these writers are so fucking out of touch with reality.

Theology aside, Carman really doesn't seem to have a good understanding of Freddie Kruger's behavior and overall style. He (Kruger) generally tries to hide the fact that you are having a dream in the first place, to give himself the tactical advantage of surprise. Never, NEVER, would Freddie Kruger own a house or answer a door for that matter, and if for some reason he DID need a residence for some kind of nightmare-related business, it certainly wouldn't be an ooky-spookie halloweenie haunted house; it would be something subtle, like a shack or a boiler room break area. Freddie was all about surprise.

I'm sorry to say it, but if Carman had gone up against Freddie Kruger, he would not have stood the slightest chance of surviving. Freddie was very good at using the pomposity and vainglory of his victims to great advantage. Half way through this video, it would have been BAM... squashed under an avalanche of Bibles.. or.. glug, glug, glug, Carmen drowns in a vat of holy water.... It would have been something ironic, because that's how Freddie rolls.

Carman basically just beat up some old goth poser, with no real magical abilities.

She was, but now Sheena's in a goth gang.

Actually, my favourite character was Richmond the Goth - I thought Noel Fielding played this well. "The Dinner Party" episode was hilarious. "I only drink Absinthe".

Roy and Moss are characters I care about- but I agree that they could invest more in the actual character development- and story some story arc please! If Roy broke up with his GF in the first episode- why is it never mentioned again? I also agree that Katherine's character is a real weak link.

Hey, let's not be like that - I don't mind anyone getting a kick out of a sitcom and I'm not going to rant on them if they don't like say, Seinfeld. But let me get a little more specific as to why I feel the I.T Crowd hasn't really worked.
I agree those eps had their moments but you're probably looking at the very, very best bits there. The Outing relied on broad, farcical humour which you can't use to sustain a series and had nothing to do with the situation of the show (which is supposed to be where the humour comes from).
But mostly I don't see where the gags are most of the time. Having a bloke pretend like he's from The Matrix and not giving him any jokes means you're putting A LOT on the actor. And most of the time this show does not get the balance of jokes and performances right.
In The Final Countdown Roy doesn't want to be mistaken for a window cleaner by an aquaintance. But because the antagonist is so sketchily drawn along there isn't anything at stake nor is there a payoff. And like most of the principals the guy playing Roy doesn't have the comedic acting chops to pull this off. A similar situation in Seinfeld would have worked because Jason Alexander (this would be a George situation) can turn average material into gold. And I'm beginning to wonder what Katherine Parkinson is supposed to be doing - her character doesn't develop and her storylines are as flimsy as can be.
It's interesting that Linehan co-wrote Father Ted which was much better than the I.T Crowd and is solely responsible for this.
I'll say this again - the best thing about the show is Matt Berry. He's clearly having fun and has a character that could go places. The show should be about him or some similar nutcase and the guys in the basement should be peripheral characters. I'm glad that Noel Fielding and Chris Morris appear to be gone as they were bloody awful.

Haven't seen the new series, but there are a few episodes of the earlier series' that are as close to perfect comedy as it gets. The one where they go to see Gay - the Gay Musical is brilliant, and the one where the boss starts going out with the woman who used to be a man. And the one where the old boss dies and they have his funeral.
If you don't find it funny (in general), I honestly pity you.

Every goth wants to be a cheerleader deep down inside.

Holy crap! I went to that school for 1 year. Back then there was 1 single Goth kid in the entire school and she got no end of harassment. It was a very cliqueish place and very intolerant. Don't know if it's changed much but knowing that part of the country I doubt it. I wouldn't blame those kids for banding together, for protection if nothing else.

Somebody needs to just beat some goddamn sense into these morons. Preferably with something pointy.

Maybe a wooden stake?

That's vampires, but I like your moxie.

Use fire.


Silver bullet, actually.

As for these kids, every generation thinks the one after it is ridiculous. Mods, punks, goths, ravers, grunge kids, nu-metallers, this is just the latest iteration of teens seeking attention.

Fortunately there's an easy cure: they'll grow up and realise how stupid they looked.

So goths stapled a tail to their undies...what's the News?

Upvoted. I get it- and I think there's some truth to this. I've seen a few Goth's who have broken out the Victorian brown waistcoats and monocles.
