Meet the New Boss

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD
S04E02
Season 4 Episode 2

This episode wasn't as good as the last one.

I liked that Fitz is over Daisy, he should have called her a selfish child because that's what she is.

The director of SHIELD being an Inhuman was a surprise. I'm curious if the government knows. The ghosts & whatever is wrong with them was too much like the story on Agent Carter that dragged on way too long.

Ghost Rider was good, but it would have been better if he beat up Quake a little more. I can't believe he killed that green ghost guy.

Why are they giving Piper from Supergirl so much screen time?


Shady Glen

From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series
S03E05
Season 3 Episode 5

This monster of the week was way better. It looked like they made an actual puppet or something. I liked how Scott went after it with his two swords like he was Raphael.

I thought this episode was just going to be those flying scorpions, which were scary looking but they didn't really attack anyone. That would have been better. Instead we got crazed canibals too. They weren't so bad, I'm glad they weren't zombies.

"Not everything is an impulse."
"Some things are."


The scene where Ximena said "this is your team?" was pretty funny so was the bath salts explanation. I didn't expect them to try to turn Dr. Dakota Block into a member of their team so soon. I'm not interested in this quest for someone "Pure of Heart." This isn't Once Upon A Time.

RVL 6768

Aftermath
S01E01
Season 1 Episode 1

This was a pretty good 1st episode.

I like that it isn't just another zombie show. There are hurricanes, fishnados, asteroid strikes, earthquakes, etc. each episode could be a different natural disaster with skinwalker posessions thrown in. So this could be a good show.

I like that the girls were reacting like normal people would if they saw the things they were seeing. They were in shock & disbelief. The use of the radio instead of the tv was also good to describe how the world is ending. I really liked the use of a big band song as the trumpets from the book of Revelations.

I didn't like how Karen was incredulous when Joshua said it was the apocalypse even after she saw some guy fly in the air & drag her daughter away. The entire family barely mentioned that. Also she needs to break down at some point because she's taking all of this way too easily. Everyone else has been emotional.


Defender of Teen Love

Son of Zorn
S01E02
Season 1 Episode 2


This one was funnier than the 1st episode.

Zorn used the Stone of Sight to help out Alangulon with the elvish waifish asian maiden, but he was helping. I like that the son of Zorn knew not to get advice from his mom.

I can't believe she still has that Z & RN tattoo on her cheeks!

Date of Death

Fear The Walking Dead
S02E13
Season 2 Episode 13

Of course everyone around that hotel saw the lights & headed right for them, I'm surprised they didn't knock the gates down or climbed over them.

Madison is really awful she tells Alicia that her dad killed himself. She threw in the "I love you" after that revelation. Thanks mom. She couldn't have led with that?

I cringed every time Travis was on screen. He is the worst, most sorry excuse for a man & father on TV. Instead of finding some way of reaching his son, he gets a gun to protect that strange kid. I liked how Chris knew everything the dad was saying & doing but Chris knows the new world they are living in & those values don't work anymore. This show should be about Chris turning into a remorseless warlord in the new world instead of this family soap opera. There were only 2 zombies in this episode.

Then he whines to Madison about what a bad father he is. He is. Chris is better off without him.


The Savior

Once Upon A Time
S05E01
Season 5 Episode 1

Alladin!! Jafar!!

I like the idea of Zelena & the Evil Queen teaming up. The Evil Queen might be too evil for her though.

I'm not liking how Emma is lying to everyone again, Regina almost died Mr. Hyde because she didn't tell anyone about her hand shaking. There is no good reason for her to keep that or her visions a secret, it's so dumb. I also don't like that she's using a sword. They at least better show Prince Charming teaching her how to wield a sword.

I did not like Rumplestiltskin's son telling Belle not to give Rumpel another chance, especially not after they put her in the yellow dress & actually played the music. They need to just make him a good guy & make someone else a bad guy instead.

They seem to be doing the same story with those 3 every year.

Seen You

Van Helsing
S01E02
Season 1 Episode 2

This episode was awful.

The actors were terrible. Thank goodness most of them were only in these flashbacks because it would be torture to keep watching them.

The dialogue was insanely unrealistic. The daughter was talking as if she was a teenager plus she just sounded like a little brat.

The stupid doctor wasn't doing as she was ordered when 10 soldiers show up at the hospital cafeteria. There is no way any doctor would be so defiant & difficult if a bunch of armed soldiers showed up. It was so stupid.

Also the sky immediately turned dark when the super-volcano erupted, it was way too fast.

Then we had that vampire who reverted to human & the dude in the freezer. This episode was a mess & I can't see this show making it to season 2.


And Let My Cry Come Unto Thee

The Exorcist
S01E01
Season 1 Episode 1

It seems to be connected to the movie, which is based on a true story, so maybe I'll re-watch it. I liked the crow crashing through the window.

This show is off to a better start than Outcast & Damien. The priests are pretty interesting & they are talking about their faith. The mom didn't make much sense, she seemed like Fox Mulder with her "I want to believe" because who just jumps to demonic possession? She should have checked to see if she was schizophrenic first.

So it's the other daughter that is possessed by the demon. that was good, because the mom made it seem like the demon was possessing the house.

Father Markus in Mexico pointing a gun at another priest seemed unrealistic. That poor boy died, hopefully this show will explain what the point is of demons doing that? Is it just to demoralize priests? Do the demons have a plan?

Don't Tell Bill

Falling Water
S01E01
Season 1 Episode 1

It tried too hard to have clever dialogue, especially with the corporate security guy. It ended up sounding forced & lame. 'Buy me a suit,' then Burton  tells the guy to go away? Lame.

The falling water should be used to let us know if we are watching a dream or the real world, but it's used inconsistently & there is no difference with how the scenes are shot to let the viewer know what we are watching. I'm afraid the whole show will be a dream & they think it will be some kind of shocking twist like St. Elsewhere but it will just be annoying.

Burton & the graphic designer, Tess, live in the same building, maybe the detective does too. otherwise i don't see how these people are connected.

Is this supposed to be the near future? The fat guy from Revolution just assumes that Tess has Nightmask powers, it didn't make any sense that he would assume she could do Inception without any tech. Also, the uniform cop from the beginning read Bonfire of the Vanities?


Change Scenario

Extant
S02E01


They did a good job of finishing up the things from last season like John & having the alien boy die. 

I feel like we didn't know for sure that John slept with Julie until this episode, I guess they wanted to make his murder easier to accept, I was still surprised that they killed him off. I also liked all the stuff that got her thrown into a mental institution.

I liked that the government is stopping the Humanichs project. Their explanation made a lot of sense.

I guess the dead boy released some spores who are going around infecting women? That means there will be more alien boys running around. So John Winchester is going to hunt aliens now with Storm. It should be good, Molly seems to be more angry now.

The Way Out

Outlander
S01E03
Season 1 Episode 3


For a minute I thought Claire did confide in Mrs Fitz, they had me going.

Claire is going to get in trouble for curing that boy.

Jeez, that psycho MacKenzie almost killed that poor tailor. Yes, m'Laird you should be ashamed of your malformed legs. I'm surprised MacKenzie didn't die as a kid.

So there's a song about what happened to her? Maybe it's happened before? Did they really force kids to rip their ears off pillories?



The Taming of Pyre Pt. 2

Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nóg
S01E08
Season 1 Episode 8


I'm surprised that Angus went to get that gold. He lives in the castle, does he even need it? It's a good thing Aideen warned them about the Pixie Field. I liked how they used it to capture the Sentinels of Temra. I didn't realize their weapons were frozen because they were frozen with the Sentinels.

The used King Fin Varra's advice about turtles & let Pyre tire himself out. I like how Rohan came to the rescue & cleared out the Sentinels of Temra at the end.

Not that they have Pyre & their armor, they can go find Draganta.

Homecoming

Camelot
S01E01
Season 1 Episode 1


I read Le Morte d'Arthur decades ago & don't remember it, so I don't care about the differences.

I like that Arthur was raised by commoners & his step-brother is there. That should help him be a good king. I also like how Merlin just skipped taking Uther's castle. They went to Camelot instead & were like, this is the new royal castle. I like how Arthur was telling them to show some respect without really being coached. 

But he should have threatened Lot's men by saying yes, I killed your son because he attacked me, as I will defend myself against anyone else. He showed himself to be weak & apologetic when he should have shown how he's a king who isn't afraid to get some blood on his hands. Then he started whining to Merlin right after Morgan warned him that things were about to get real.

I like how Morgan stopped Uther's hand when he tried to hit her again. She already showed how she has magic. I like how she's Arthur's sister instead of cousin like in Merlin, which I never finished watching.

That didn't make sense when Merlin said Arthur is destined to be a great king, but if Arthur dies, his destiny will change. That is not what the word destiny means. You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.



Ascension

Extant
S01E13


This was a pretty good season finale that took care of a lot of stuff & there was even action.


Robot vs. Alien! It wasn't as exciting as it could have been especially because Ethan saved the stupid alien's life at the end but not bad. They sure made it seem like the alien was evil. How are they going to explain Ethan becoming kid Lawnmower Man?

At first I got annoyed with Ethan asking all those questions, then I realized, that he was just being a boy. It was way better than someone saying to end Ethan in.

Stupid Shawn should have stayed with Molly while she was trying to fix things.

"I'm afraid I can't do that."

That damn space station turned into Hal! Even though he wasn't wrong about the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. but he was wrong because her plan C worked.

But now Molly lost 2 sons.

Silence of the Slams

Grimm
S05E13

Lucha Va Voom on tv!

I liked that they showed a different Wesen other than a Hexebiest using magic. I also liked that they showed Nick writing in the books again but Hadrian's Wall has digital Wesen information, they even have a watchlist.

That luchador was such an idiot. I'm surprised he agreed to give the old man half his earnings just for a mask if he thought he could beat the regular luchadors. The old man should have made up some kind of warning about the mask.

They mentioned Diana, they need to figure what to do with her & stop putting babies in the show.
Adalind has been so happy with Nick & Kelly that she seemed to forget about her daughter.

They put the healing stick away. How is a healing stick dangerous? Because of over-population? So much build up with the keys & they just put it away.

Before The Blood

Extant
S01E12

I liked that reveal of robot-boy walking in on John talking to himself. I wasn't expecting that, I'm just glad he didn't turn into Gaius Baltar.

Poor John, he thought things were going well & then the stupid alien gives Molly visions of her ex & then gives him visions of Molly loving him. He was being really reasonable with Molly, she didn't raise the alien, just because it's partially human doesn't make it moral. Serial killers are 100% human & they are monsters. Maybe her alien baby is trying to kill the aliens on the space station by making it crash, but it could be releasing them into the atmosphere.

Good thing that legless girl figured out that Odin is a bad guy.

Katie was alive until they brought her aboard the Seraphim then the aliens must have exploded out of her stomach so I think Shawn had sex with alien Katie.

Stupid Sparks, he didn't even care that the alien killed his wife. It's a good thing they found video of adult Katie from the French space station to show him. How many space stations are orbiting Earth?

Return to Orange County

Son of Zorn
S01E01
Season 1 Episode 1

Zorn has a Ram Man friend! & a Stinkor friend, until his head was ripped off, but it was cool to see.

The show was pretty funny, but it was also a little sad, hopefully it gets funnier.

Oh no, the DeathHawk is dead. Thanks a lot mom.

It's weird that nobody has a problem with a cartoon man walking around, but somehow they never heard of his island nation Zephyria.

Does everyone know about Alangulon's legs? He must have worn shorts or gone to the bathroom at some point.

Fanglorious

From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series
S03E04
Season 3 Episode 4

I liked the Mexican Road Warriors. That one guy was flipping all over the place like he was Deadpool. Luckily Richie didn't kill him. I guess they realized they need to do some demons with less CGI/makeup & brought in the Jaguar Warriors from hell.

I really liked that McGraw's daughter showed up to get revenge. Now they have someone else hunting them. Hopefully she'll team up with Amaru.

Kate let Scott know that she's still in there. So she's more like Glorificus. Where is Santanico Pandemonium??

They referenced Star Trek & Delta Force.

The Ghost

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD
S04E01
Season 4 Episode 1

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance!! 

It's not the Dan Ketch Ghost Rider, which I prefer, but the Mexican car ghost rider, Robbie. I like that they kept his wheelchair brother. I really liked Felipe Smith's on the car ghost rider last year, but I hope they got rid of that serial killer spirit that was in the comic.

This was a really good episode. 

I liked that they are working on the LMD, but I could have sworn they were already mentioned in one of the movies. I'm not that interested in the SHIELD office politics. I really really liked seeing Ghost Rider beat up Quake. She was so annoying last season.

Even though I'm really excited about this, I was also excited about Deathlok & they have totally forgotten about him. It's so stupid. Instead of introducing a CGI-intensive hero, they should have gone after more tech based d-list villains. No matter what this season is going to be better than last season.


A New World

Extant
S01E11


I like that the soldier guy was like 'Nope, I don't want to die.' I like that Yasumoto pointed the gun at Molly to test if she really had the alien in the van even though it didn't work. The best part was when Molly is like:

"All of this is because you were afraid to die?"

Yasumoto was alive before we even went to the moon so he sort of got used to it.

Sparks was working with the alien baby the whole time. He killed people, they should put him in handcuffs. His daughter is still alive? Was she in space this whole time?

That Odin guy put a bomb in Ethan but shouldn't Ethan have a battery indicator or notice if there's a foreign object inside him?

Into the Schwarzwald

Grimm
S05E12

Oh no, Adalind is becoming a hexenbiest again. She was not happy about that. but she did get to break that junkie's hand. It looked weird but it was still a good scene. I was waiting for Rosalee to wogue, instead the guy did. What is he? No more stupid junkies! Rosalee does not make a lot of money. That place is usually empty. They should drop that storyline about her past & make her work for Hadrian's Wall.
 
SO the big treasue is a healing stick. Is it part of the spear of destiny? Or the cross? I'm surprised they are going all Christian, but they did when they introduced The Knights Templar, unless they are going to retcon the knights into something else, like AOS did with Hydra.
 
I really like how they sound like regular people. "That's it? A stick? & when they were guessing at solutions.



Pillar of Salt

Fear The Walking Dead
S02E12
Season 2 Episode 12

Ofelia is back but suddenly she's been ret-conned into an older woman who got secretly engaged & so she decides to return to America. Ugh, what a wasted opportunity. The Latin girl who speaks Spanish & should be the star of the show is the one who  leaves Mexico. So stupid.

Crazy Eileen stabbed Strand & everyone barely reacted. Strand was stabbed & he's still talking like nothing's wrong. It's bad writing & bad acting.

Finally Alicia told her mom how she felt about being ignored by her mom in favor of Nick but even that is ruined by Travis seeing the hotel light on. So lame.

But First, We Save The Galaxy

Dark Matter
S02E13
Season 2 Episode 13

What an awesome season finale!

It looks like 4 let them go from last episode but now he is trying to make what happened in the alternate universe happen in the normal universe.

2 promised us a heist episode, even though this one was sort of like a heist episode. They went undercover, even though nobody wore a disguise except 5 so 6 got arrested. They really should have done a better job of protecting the blink drive.

I liked that they used light-minutes & that Aslinov Exclusion Field that can disrupt an FTL window& 

They took care of the bomb that Ferrous corporation brought to the space station but there was another bomb so the episode ended with Eos-7 blowing up while everyone was still on board & Nyx was poisoned by Misaki! I can't believe that ending & the show isn't even cancelled!
