Julie and the Phantoms

First

I'm obsessed. Love the music and the show. 

Some questions
- is it coincident that Julie's mom (Rose) bought the boy's old studio? How did her band do when she was young? Was she inspired by Sunset Curve 

Observations 
-hating Alex's forced gayness. I like Alex except things like always dressing him in pink, saying that he cries too much or having him dance with the girls. I want Reggie up there dancing and owning it. 

I do like his flirtation with Willy. They pull that off in a way that feels natural. 

My favorite is Max from Happy Endings. He is natural about his sexuality without feeling forced. He makes jokes and hooks up but isn't stereotypical. 

-still weird having Luke and Julie flirt when Charlie Gillespie (Luke) is clearly older than her

Hoping for season 2
-I want Sunset Curve flashbacks. I want Rose flashbacks as an adult when they buy the house and her carefully putting all the boys instruments in the attic. I want Bobby to have courted Rose, like a lot and for Julie's dad to hate Bobby too. I want Rose to break up with Bobby for releasing My Name is Luke under his name. 
I want Flynn to shut up and sit down and play her role for exposition and support and stop whinning.
I want Caleb to have something more than just scare tactics 
I want Reggie to have been dying anyway so when he dies suddenly it was a relief to him because he know his cancer would bankrupt his parents. This one might be too heavy

Princess Diaries 3 (Movie)

Disney could 100% pull off Princess Diaries 3 based off of Princess Diaries: Royal Wedding
Including opening a door for a princess diaries TV show spinoff.
Chloe Coleman would be a perfect Olivia Harrison.  She is adorable and 11 the perfect age.

Anne Hathaway is stunning and can totally pass got 27 (11 years after 'her dad's passes) even if Hathaway is actually 37. 

I would love to see Rocky but I don't have a dream casting for him and a bigger role for Helen Thermopolis and Lily even if the movies did pass on Michael as the romantic lead.
