[S02.E10: Dye Hard (Alt Escape from Wayne Tower)]

Riddler being hot is not okay.

[S02.E11: Linger]

Oh my God. Alex's family suuucks!

I do like Rosa and Isobel's burgeoning friendship. It works in a weird sort of way. However! The show needs to remember Maria is Rosa's friend, too. They should be interacting on screen way more often.

Diego is rather attractive and seemingly likable, but I don't really care much about the character. I have zero interest in love triangles, or watching him pine over Liz. The cast is big enough, adding more is unnecessary.

Kyle is rapidly becoming the character I look forward to seeing. It used to be Micheal, but Kyle's decency and humor continually surprises and delights me. I still don't like Steph, but their scene together was good. The acting was solid, but their chemistry is weak compared to the chemistry Trevino has with other members of the cast, platonic or romantically.

Not really - because it's clear that Carina told HH that was Maria's motivation.  She's setting her up to shove her off the show or kill her or something.  Alex never made it out of S2 of the OGshow, so Maria is now Alex and likely will be killed off.

She better not kill off Maria!

I haven't given up on the show. I've grown a bit attached to the characters, so I'm invested in future stories, but if Maria dies that's a deal breaker. Killing off Kyle would also affect my interest in the show.

[S02.E06: Sex and Candy]

It's been a while since I watched a show that made me ask: "What is happening?" so many times.

First when Isobel flirted with the barista, then when she started to flirt with Kyle. Then when Maria and Alex suddenly ended up in a horror movie. Next, when their stalker turned out to be an evil twin, and after that they had a threesome with Micheal. The episode was full of unexpected crazy!

I think I like Max better when he doesn't remember all his Liz angst.

And I'm pretty sure I don't like the blue-haired guy, or the girl Kyle has a crush on. The guy because I don't think the actor is great, and the girl because she rubbed me the wrong way by going on about how the ACA is bad--she sounded like a republican and I'm not here for it.

[Boy Meets World - General Discussion]

I always sensed McGee's distance from the rest of the cast, even back when the the show was on the air. In some of the BMW bloopers and outtakes McGee rarely smiled and didn't seem to be having as much fun as the other actors. I thought it was because she was more mature and wanted to be more professional, but after finding out about everything that happened BTS McGee's apparent lack of humor explains a lot.

 

[S02.E05: I'll Stand By You]

Alex and Maria are super cute together! I loved the expression on his face when Maria sat on his lap. It was weird seeing him smile so much--nice, but weird.

So, it was de-aging CGI that made Max's skin look so unnaturally smooth?

I'm not down with Liz being let off the hook so easily. While Alex made a semi-good point about people having the right to keep their secrets, Maria had the right to know her whole body was being used to get at the squad. That's when Liz, as a friend, should've known keeping it secret from Maria was unequivocally wrong.

But Maria/Liz was the girlmance that kept OG Roswell afloat when stuff felt like it was gonna be a hot mess - but on this show, we don't get NEARLY enough Maria/Liz.  Honestly in S2 and S3 of OG Roswell when everything was falling apart narratively, the one thing the show got right was Maria and Liz.

Liz and Maria were everything when OG Roswell was on the air! They are the standard to which I judge female friendships in media. The only reservation I ever had about their friendship is how third wheel-ish it made Alex sometimes.

7 hours ago, phoenics said:

That's another reason this show feels so off.  Liz seems like besties with the aliens in a way she never was in the books and on the show, but she's SO disconnected from her human friends.  It's just off.  Rosa being back makes it even MORE off.

Yeah, Liz is friendly, but not a friend to her human pals. I think she could leave leave town and not miss them. That's why I felt zero satisfaction when Maria called her out. Because to me their friendship is about as deep as a puddle, which made Liz's betrayal equally as shallow.

I agree Rosa being around changes the historical chemistry between the characters, but I think her presence adds some much needed warmth to Liz's character.

I kind of respected Alex's NFTG face while his father was having a seizure. His father has never been anything but a monster to him.

I love that scene! Alex was ice cold. It was great!

Micheal and Maria's chemistry is off the charts, but they're not going to work for me until I see evidence Micheal isn't using her to get over Alex. She deserves better than that.

On a more positive and shallow note: Heather Hemmens was too freaking hot in the outfit she wore to her Woman as Warrior seminar. Good lord! Legs for days!

Their interactions were great! Michael was stand-offish with everyone else for reasons, but allowed himself to be relaxed and glib with Liz. And it was also fun watching him and Liz be science bros and figure out alien physiology.

I almost couldn't bare the reunion because the joy and nostalgia I felt seeing Will and Deanna again was overwhelming!

I adore Kestra!

I have never, ever shipped anything in Star Trek, but damn if Hugh and Elnor didn't make my shipper sense tingle!

And why kill Hugh, show? What the fork! I really wanted him and Seven to meet. Not cool.

[Slasher - General Discussion]

I was enjoying season 3 until the "Reaper Lady" reveal.

Spoiler

I couldn't believe people felt sympathy for a grown man who carelessly received oral sex in front of an underage child. I rolled my eyes even harder when it seemed like neither the Reaper Lady, nor her family, told people why she called him out in the first place.

I only finished the rest of the season because I wanted to see how the story ended.

 

[S05.E14: Sandra's Wedding]

Seeing Sandra get to be happy is just what I needed after The Good Place finale.

Her and Jerry singing their version of Creep was so cute!

Loved Garrett's best man story.

I'm not sure Mateo deserves Eric, but they're sweet together.

Carol's misdirection fooled me. I know what she's about and I still fell for it.

Biggest surprise was Dina letting Sandra hug her, and she even half hugged her back.

 

[S01.E03: Hairtrigger]

Watching our heroes scratch their heads, and wonder why someone with anti government leanings reacted badly when a LEO belligerently violated their rights, was surreal. At least they could have wrote it so there was something obviously suspicious in the trunk, that way the cop's illegal search wouldn't look outrageously jack-booted.

Holy shirt!

After wiki'ing Hypatia, I wondered if it wasn't a good thing her memory was foggy. That was a horrible way to die! Still, it was cool to discover how respected and loved she was by her community. I'm not used to reading about women back then being celebrated for their intelligence.

[S04.E12: Patty]

Did not see Micheal becoming God coming. He's probably below Judge Gen in the cosmic hierarchy, but he runs actual heaven now. That's one heck of a come up.

Please, please, please, let the show end on a happy note! I do not want anyone walking off into oblivion. I want forever after for all my dear, little cockroaches.

 

[S01.E01: Remembrance]

I'm actually overwhelmed by how good this show is so far. Even without Patrick Stewart's gravitas, the show would be amazing. It's written, filmed, directed, and acted beautifully. There's so much love for Star Trek's universe, and it shines through brilliantly. But Patrick Stewart does pull it all together, and elevates an already well-made series to another level.

I'm looking forward to whatever comes next.

UPDATE, 3:45 PM: EXCLUSIVE: The departure of Orlando Jones from the third season of American Gods is not about race, says Fremantle, it is about story.

“The storylines of American Gods have continually shifted and evolved to reflect the complex mythology of the source material,” says a spokesperson for the company to Deadline. “Mr. Jones’ option was not picked up because Mr. Nancy, among other characters, is not featured in the portion of the book we are focusing on within Season 3,” they added.

...

“Several new characters, many of which have already been announced, will be introduced into Shadow Moon’s world that will further contribute to the show’s legacy as one of the most diverse series on television,” the spokesperson speaking Saturday asserted.

Mr. Nancy isn't in the part of the book they're about to adapt, okay, I get that, but does he not show up in later parts of the book? If he does, why fire Jones if the character appears again at some point? Is Season 3 the last season? Is that why they fired him, because there's no more show after Season 3?

WTF is going on?

Plot threads coming together. 

The only complaint I had about this episode is that (apparently for reasons of plot) Laurie suddenly got hit with a bag of stupid and clued in the sheriff's wife on the nefarious doings of the Seventh Kavalry, somehow not suspecting in any way, shape, or form that the man's wife might somehow be in the know.

I think she expected a dance.

Laurie likes to push buttons when she confronts people when she doesn't have all the pieces to their puzzle. She only had suspicions and no real proof of anything, so I think she wanted to see if she could get a read on Jane, or rattle her if she was guilty. What Laurie got instead of a game of cat and mouse was a nonchalant confession and dropped through a trapdoor, because Jane wasn't about that Columbo bs.

But it’s not just indecisiveness.  Just like Simone is not just a Condescending  bench.    They are both so unyielding I. It that Chidi made other people’s lives miserable and I am guessing Simone did as well.   They didn’t actually do anything bad bad but Chidi couldn’t even tell a friend his ugly boots looked nice to make him feel better because Chidi can’t lie.   And that itself is kinda selfish.  
 

 

I think what put Chidi in the bad place is he made relatively good people miserable because of his paralyzing anxiousness and indecision. I think what put Simone in the bad place is she has zero problems dehumanizing people she thinks are bad people. It might seem like a normal, even correct reaction on Earth, but I suspect getting into the Good Place requires having Superman-like empathy/morality (and that might not be good enough, either!), which means reaching out your hand to bad people even if they don't deserve it.

It's bold of the show to point a finger at someone like Simone who in most other circumstances would be considered absolutely right for abandoning Brent to his fate, because that's exactly what most people in real life would do--including a lot of the show's audience.

[Swamp Thing - General Discussion]

I was pleasantly surprised Swamp Thing and Bug Dude's confrontation didn't devolve into them throwing each other around the room and through walls for five minutes. It was also refreshing to see Swamp Thing show so much compassion and end Bug Dude's suffering. I wasn't expecting that kind of non-violent resolution from such a gory show.

It was nice.

I don't care for Matt's crush on Abby because I know any romance between them is doomed, and inevitability is not exciting. And since the show will only have one season it feels like an even bigger waste of time. Time the show could be spending on almost anything else.

Does Jennifer Beals ever age? The woman's looked 35 for twenty years. So has Ian Ziering.

I want to look as good as them when I'm in my fifties, too.

Actually, Grey Worm no longer had a dog in the hunt.  Daenerys was dead, Drogon wouldn't obey anyone else so couldn't be counted on and other than revenge, why would he care about what happened in Westeros?  It wasn't his home.  He was "a foreigner" and none of them had exactly rolled out the welcome wagon for the Unsullied or the Dothraki. But other than that, I have no clue why Grey Worm didn't try to kill Tyrion or Jon. 

I don't understand why Grey Worm didn't kill Jon. Anyone who killed Dany should have been executed by Grey Worm on the spot, no matter who they were. But I think what kept Tyrion alive was his friendly relationship with Grey Worm and Missandei back in the good old days.
