What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorJulia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas just reunited in the Dancing With the Stars ballroom, E! News says, and they stepped right back into Save the Last Dance on the Super night.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo that's the sequel we asked about this morning? A dance floor?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's a sequel in spirit, and I'm putting the Drama Index at a seven, because I cried and I had no right to.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA seven for a reunion with no script. Where's the villain?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe villain is the judges' scoreboard, Kenji, and it always is.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFine, it's a sequel, but my cousin's wedding dance was a trilogy and nobody gave us a number.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThen I'm rating it an eight, and your uncle gets a post-credits scene.
