[S02.E13: The Word]

I can't believe June kept that baby's name as Nichole. What if she makes it to Canada and Luke gives her his last name? Then she'll be Nichole Bankole. Wtf.

[Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (2016) - General Discussion]

Aw man I knew it was canceled but I'd forgotten it was canceled as I binged season 2 this weekend and now I'm bummed all over again. Oh well I'm gonna talk about it anyway.

I didn't entirely understand Ken's change. If he believed he had to do bad things to achieve a good end, he didn't seem very conflicted about. He had a cold, flat affect once he was in charge. I felt horrible for poor Bart. She exercised her free will and still ended up a killing machine, and she didn't even get her friend back.

I'm guessing the intention was to convey Dirk belongs somewhere in the rainbow fam, considering the pattern on his jacket in an episode specifically called Nice Jacket? Unless that title was referring to something else. But there were a couple other times during the season I remember thinking that's what they were going for.

At least we know both dogs are okay. I don't care if they're fictional dogs. I want all dogs to be okay.

[Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (2016) - General Discussion]

I just watched season 2 on Hulu this weekend, if anyone still checks this topic

[Freakish - General Discussion]

I watched both seasons over the weekend. It made me think of the show-within-a-show on IZombie, called Zombie High. 

[The Path - General Discussion]

How are they a successful cult?? Their songs aren't even catchy!

[S04.E12: Mt. Weather/S04.E13:The Black Rainbow]

I finally caught up on this season now that it's on Netflix.

I was suspecting for a few episodes that Warren had been programmed into unwittingly unleashing Black Rainbow, so I thought it was frustrating that nobody brought up the possibility to her.  Even if it turns out not to be the case, it seems odd nobody would at least mention the possibility. Also weird that the subject of everyone on Zona turning into crazy cannibals didn't really come up...

They can handwave it all next season with a "The Zombie Apocalypse is like that sometimes!" but I hope it actually gets some kind of explanation. I also hope Warren is back and with black hair again. Or at least a better blond wig. 

I did love that Murphy was just resigned to being red. It didn't even faze him. He could be pink and purple plaid and at this point it'd be like, "Eh, whatever."

[S04.E01: Warren's Dream 2017.09.29]

I'm just now catching up on this season and I have an image in my head that 5k saved Addy and Lucy by letting them land on him.

Maybe Warren's shoes were prescription heels...

[S11.E01: My Struggle III]

Three main thoughts.

1. Every time I saw Monica I fondly remembered "Moronica" from the old twop recaps.

2. I was extremely disappointed that instead of tapping out Morse code, Scully's brain didn't have a genetically modified bee in it, dancing to communicate its message.

3. Gross. Just... fuckin' gross to have CSM be the father. It's a gross violation of her. It grossed me out so much I had to log in for the first time in a million years.

[S11.E09: O Brother Where Art Thou?]

Was there some particular reason why Sam couldn't wait a while until he got in touch with Dean before talking to Lucifer? Was there only a five minute window of opportunity that would be lost forever?

 

They couldn't have asked Cas to poke around in Sam's noggin a bit? "Say, does it feel like God visions in there or what?" Did they not want to interrupt whatever TV marathon he was enjoying?

 

And why were they so casual about using the Book of the Damned again?! 

[S06.E08: Start To Finish]

I thought those were gonna be zombie ants at the beginning but it turned out they were just a metaphor.

[S11.E06: Our Little World]

Ugh. I don't actually care enough to argue anymore. Never mind. Move along.

[S11.E06: Our Little World]

The Dean and Amara thing isn't even really about Dean for me. Just leave him out of the equation for now. It's how the rest of the show is trying to have it both ways with the Amara character. There are frequent reminders that she's a little girl, from the way she acts to how others treat her. But at the same time they don't want us to forget that she's alluring! (Like Sydney's comment about the bliss-orgasm whatever she got from Amara.) Then that creepy ass song about waiting for her to grow up. Plus she's actually wearing a meatsuit that's only, what, a few weeks old at this time? She took a baby's body and aged it up artificially. Even when she eventually looks like an adult, if anything romantic happens with her and anyone else, I'm gonna be thinking about that meatsuit. Especially since this season they're back to caring about what actually happens to vessels.

[S11.E06: Our Little World]

And the show just keeps reinforcing that she's a little girl! They keep making little remarks about it. Her origins may be as old as God, but her body and current mentality aren't, and the show seems really happy about pointing it out. While also pointing out any possible *shudder* romance, from Crowley's "sniffing around" joke to, once again, that gross song.

[S11.E06: Our Little World]

That song.

 

Just... everything with Amara and Dean. 

 

But especially that song.

 

Why didn't they just have her spring up fully formed with an adult body? Why did they have to show her as a possessed baby and then little girl? I have both the heebies AND the jeebies.

[S06.E05: Now]

I have no idea how Rick has enough energy for anything amorous. He just ran like five back-to-back marathons and then shouted for half of forever about how quiet everybody needs to be.

[S11.E05: Thin Lizzie]

I hope Amara's not perving on Dean, really do, but it seemed really creepy to me. Yeah, she's billions of years old on the inside, but she's possessing a baby's rapidly growing meatsuit, and she acts like a kid. 

 

I loved Len. He reminded me of Ronald. I hope he eventually gets his soul back somehow, although he still managed to be a Big Damn Hero even without it.

[S06.E04: Here's Not Here]

It just doesn't pay to be a cute animal in the zombie apocalypse. Sigh.

[S06.E03: Thank You]

If Glenn were really dead, I don't think the show could have resisted showing a full bird's-eye view of the carnage. 

[S06.E02: JSS]

I don't buy Carl being dumb enough to nearly get suckered by that guy whining about the pain in his leg. I think he'd have just put one in his head.

 

 

I thought it was an interesting contrast to when he shot that kid outside the prison when the Governor attacked them. Then he didn't hesitate and even though he defended the action as necessary, maybe it stuck with him.

 

He's sort of the middle ground between Carol and Morgan. He's willing to think about giving someone a chance, but he's also willing to blow their head off.

[S06.E02: JSS]

Carol's weird celery soba surprise casserole probably turned out delicious because it was too damned afraid of disappointing her.

[S11.E02: Form And Void]

Shouldn't there still be dead Stynes littering the bunker? And didn't the Stynes blow off the front door to get inside? Did Castiel clean up and fix everything after Dean beat the feathers out of him?

[S06.E01: First Time Again]

I'll never understand walker physiology. A mummy prop from a Halloween haunted house was sturdy enough to to eat Carter's face, but fleshier-looking walkers managed to puree themselves by simply walking into walls.

 

I continue to be impressed that rotting zombies shuffling around all day still have their shoelaces neatly tied. I can't keep mine tied a whole day.

[S11.E01: Out Of The Darkness]

I guess I'm thankful Dean didn't see the First Blade birthmark on the baby. At least he won't realize it's her when she inevitably shows up as a hot, adult woman later. Still, I'll know.

[S02.E10: The Assassin]

If Palmer is really cuckoo for Coco's puffs, you'd think he'd rethink his plan to become a vampire. He's going to lose the junk he only just started using for *shudder* sexy times. Plus, he's going to be all about The Master if he's turned and no longer care about romance, I'd guess. That's not even accounting for the idea that a megalomaniac like him would be unlikely to want to be part of a hive mind anyway, but whatever. 

 

Eph really puts the "ass" in assassin. In fact, he puts it in twice. He was barely bothered by potentially killing an innocent person.

[S02.E10: The Assassin]

Holy shit. Every time I think Eph can't get dumber, he impresses me with new lows. Even overlooking the fact that he couldn't wing a toy duck at a carnival booth, he still decides the time to off Palmer is outside a press conference that's crawling with civilians and police. 

 

Meanwhile, his annoying offspring is completely unattended at Fet's place, which the Master knows about in detail. I mean, I hate the kid, but Eph supposedly loves him, and yet he risks making the little brat a total orphan, providing Zach even survives that long.
