The Amazing Race (3/4) – What a crazy ending! How, all 8 teams arriving within seconds of
each other. Of course, when you have to
travel that far to get to the pit stop, it allows that kind of thing to
happen. I did feel sorry for the ninth
team. I get why no one was helping them,
but I understand the hurt as well.
Once Upon a Time – That’s how you do a landmark
episode. They expertly set up the
conflict for the season while still including some great throw backs to earlier
(the setting helped with that) and even filling in one of those lingering
questions via the flashback. Absolutely
loved it.
Castle – Come again?
Hayley knew Castle before? He
stumbled on something Lockstat related, which is why he had his memory
erased? That seems a bit convenient
given the story they are doing this season, but still, it’s an intriguing twist
and I can’t wait to see how it plays out.
Team Ninja Warrior – Once again, I was rooting for the wrong
teams, but boy were all of those heats close.
And the falls! Those looked
downright painful. Congrats to the
winners, and I do hope they do this again next year.
Agents of SHIELD – I know, I know. I went ahead of watched it. Everyone who is surprised, raise your
hand. Yep, that’s what I thought. A little bit of forward movement, but in many
ways I felt like a lot of set up. Not
completely out there, and I think some interesting conflict can come from this,
but we will see if they deliver on it.
Of Kings and Prophets – The story of David and Saul is one
of my favorites from the Old Testament, so, despite every warning sign, I had
to tune in to see this train wreck. And
that’s what it is. I’m not talking about
the violence, which I could do without, or the sex, which again, I could do
without. I’m talking about the wandering
story and the mumbling from the actors, especially the one playing Samuel. And yet, I just might tune in again next
week.
Survivor – That was quite dramatic with so many suffering
heat stroke at the same time. Sorry to
see someone go out like that, too. I’d
say I hope the Braun tribe has righted themselves, but with a switch up coming
next week, it doesn’t appear like it will matter.
Baby Daddy – I decided to give it one more try, and I made
it a third of the way in before taking the show off my DVR. It wasn’t funny, it was just annoying yet
again. Oh well, one less show on my to
be watched schedule.
Big Bang Theory – I figured Raj and Emily would get back
together, but I hope this means they will start using her more. We’ve hardly seen her all season, especially
before this break up storyline. And
Sheldon can be so wonderful when he wants to be. The money he’s donating? Wonderful!
And Howard and Bernadette’s discussion in the hallway was so hysterical,
possibly the best part of the episode.
Legends of Tomorrow – The first time I felt like the
character development was lacking. There
was some, but it was very light. Yes,
another cliffhanger, and I am dying to know how they are going to resolve this
one. A little heavy handed with the
preaching at times, too. Overall, the
weakest episode of the series to date, although I still enjoyed it.
The Amazing Race – I thought there was no chance for teams
to pass each other, but I was wrong on that front. Choosing the wrong detour is what will do you
in, I guess. Well, and not getting the
jump on the first take off. As a fellow
non-heights fan, I certainly would not have done well with this leg,
either. Yikes, they were up high.
Girl Meets World – They can still do comedy. There were some funny bits in the episode,
and at least they discussed the triangle even if they didn’t resolve it. Are these the same kids who didn’t want Cory
as their teacher at the start of the year?
Still, it was a very touching ending to the season. We’ll see what season 3 brings.
