Chaser

I was very distracted by Patton’s teeth work. Veneers can be bad teeth wigs. I really like Kreuk. I wish Cassandra was written better. I think they need to make her more of a contrast to Karl. Less angst.

I wish they did more every-man episodes and less political/moral dilemma ones. It used to feel like the city was a character, now it just feels like a stage.

I really like Chock and Bates but their music/program selection is key. They work best when they do something slightly off beat and quirky compared to the rest of the field. Classical doesn’t work for them.

Part of me thinks that sort of mental toughness can’t be taught. You are either born with it or you weren’t. It’s hard for me to think of a skater who went from mistake prone to truly consistent.

Pretty sure the new internal investigator is a Vulcan

Shades of Sasha

I watched the Gibbs show pilot and he 100% would have been a miscast. I have a hard time believing he was that close to getting it. In a fun sort of Arrowverse connection, CL’s husband is the best thing on the show.

The kid is a big negative for me. I think the actor is fine, it’s the character that doesn’t work. I see a happy well adjusted kid skipping along like it’s one big game. Not the son of a drug addict that overdosed whose grandmother is going undercover to try and prove her daughter was murder (or whatever they are trying to prove). I think they should have aged him up. Make him a tech genius college drop out who spiraled after hacking into the firm and finding out corrupt lawyers got his mom killed. A catalyst for grandmother.

After meeting the victim I had Cell Block Tango stuck in my head. “He had it coming…it was murder but not a crime…he ran into my knife, he ran into my knife 10 times.”

Are they basically confirming Sara is endgame for Will?

It’s amazing just how bad Benson has gotten. It’s sad what they’ve done to her character. And it’s really sad this episode is considered knocking her down a peg. I wanted someone (THE DA - Who should have been furious with her) to point out if this is how she chooses to conduct herself if she doesn’t agree with the law, then she should turn in her badge.

Rob Thomas of Veronica Mars is an Executive Producer. I had to run over to IMDB to make sure he wasn’t a show runner. I think he gave me TV-PTSD.

I read it as Zoe gave up her brother to the cousins to protect her secret. I think she only physically killed the old woman and attempted to kill her nephew. Her accent sounded old school femme fatale.

I think this is the strongest of the episodes so far. Not to say it was that strong altogether cause I still don’t really now what it’s trying to be. They need to tighten it up. I think it helped to pull back on the romance. They need to work on that slowly but they also need to give Cassandra more to do. Loved seeing Nathan from Haven but it was such a random role. I got excited about the daughter showing up and then that was it. I kept waiting for them to appear again. Maybe the writing got out of hand and they had to cut for time? Great to see Stana again. I didn’t expect her to be a psycho. The quasi accent was a choice for sure. Oh and the kid getting trapped in a frame of a building was an interesting moment. I will tune in next week for further bewilderment.

I forgot about how fluent KC is in word salad. That first response makes it sound like she was talking MG’s ear off about Oliver and Laurel and he answered her by killing Laurel off. I get the impression that MG called SA after giving her the news cause he needed to make sure she wouldn’t get upset and say something at the con. It’s still weird to me that unless directly asked she treats Laurel and E2 Laurel as the same character.
