Once Upon a Time (10/6) – That went about as I expected it
to go. Which isn’t good or bad. It definitely felt been there done that. I mean, we have a curse and no one knows who
they are. Only a kid believes the
truth. I’m intrigued to find out exactly
why this curse was cast, and I do want Henry to get his happy ending and why
the other characters we know got caught up in the curse, but it’s not nearly as
captivating as previous seasons have been.
Hopefully, I’ll get into it ore as the season progresses.
Dancing with the Stars – Anyone else notice that so many of
the dancers seem to get their best scores this week of the competition. Is it a break through? Or is it just connecting with the dance
because it is so personal? Not that
there weren’t great dances happening this week.
Supergirl – I’m on board.
Obviously, we somehow accidentally created the villain with all that
activity at the beginning of the episode.
That’s a bummer because I liked the little bit we saw of her. But the new developer we just met is
interesting, and Lena running CatCo is a good way to keep her involved. I could have done without the obvious
political jabs, but at least they were kept in the background this time.
Big Bang Theory – While Sheldon isn’t quite as good as the
humorous monologue as Howard (see the season 5 episode where he’s at NASA
training for one of the funniest scenes on the show period), he wasn’t still
pretty funny here. June wedding? Really?
I’m predicting a May wedding myself.
I just wonder if it will be outside or not.
The Flash – I was not expecting crazy Barry to come
back. Glad we’ve got regular Barry back
now. Anyone else think the Speed Force
could realize the problem? Say for the
mid-season break? And they’ve shown us
the villain right away. No more surprise
reveal that he’s part of the inner circle this time. They’ve promised lighter this year, and I
hope they deliver, but so far, it was fairly serious, which this episode had to
be.
Lethal Weapon – I didn’t think that Riggs was going to have
a girlfriend so soon, but that breakup scene at the end was so hard to
watch. Fun case overall and great scene
at the end. I wonder what the new boss
will do now that she realizes this isn’t an act.
Legends of Tomorrow – Yes, this is still my favorite show of
the Arrowverse. Yes, it’s corny, but I
like the fact that they don’t take themselves so seriously all the time. I was laughing at so many of the lines. And yet when they give the characters a few
tender moments, those work so well, too.
So what is coming?
This is Us – I’m so over this whole Jack’s death thing. Just rip the Band-Aid off and tell us
already! Other than that, it was a solid
episode. For once, I didn’t think that
they did an apology well enough on this show, but I think Kate will bring that
up again later based on how she was looking there at the end. And I think Randall is in a great place to
help their foster daughter. It’s going
to be rough, but so far, he seems to have more of a handle on it than I thought
he would.
Survivor – It’s really simple. If you want to be the star of a challenge,
make sure you are actually the star. If
you cost your team the challenge, you’d better be prepared to go home. And I’m sorry, but the reaction? Sour grapes.
No alliance is going to save you this early in the game if you mess up
that badly. However, I do know red heads
I trust.
Designated Survivor – I was more impressed with the statue
storyline than I thought I would be. I
do sympathize with the business man in some ways, but lives are on the
line. Is anyone really, truly that
heartless? That part made me the maddest
at the writers. Not sure where they are
going with the potential scandal storyline, but I am curious about that.
The Good Place – That party?
It sounds like so much fun. I get
why it was supposed to be torture, but only for one of them. Michael was pretty funny going through his
crisis. And the twist at the end? That’s unexpected. I wonder where they will go next.
Arrow – So the only person to actually die was William’s
mother? Actually, I’m not too surprised
since I already knew most of the cast was coming back, but still, that somehow
seems like a bit of a cheat. What are
evil Laurel’s true motives? I don’t buy
the revenge for shooting her thing.
The Orville – At times, I feel like this show is Mystery Science
Theater 3000 itself. It’s saying exactly
what we are all thinking, and I love it for that. A bit surprised we didn’t see more from the
rest of the crew this week, but a good episode that shows the heart of the
characters.
With The Orville, that is Seth McFarlane’s style. It’s a cheesy MSK version of Star Trek. I liked this week’s episode. Glad I took the time to pick it up and start watching.
