June 28th's Weekly TV Thoughts

Lego Masters – So happy for the mother/son team.  To win this week of all weeks was so special.  Sorry for the team that went home; I was really enjoying them.  Some pretty creative builds.  I wouldn’t know the differences in the eras well enough to do well with that challenge.

American Ninja Warrior – Not one but two made it up the mega wall!  Very nice to see people finally doing it this year.  I feel like I should have remembered the falls they highlighted, but I only remembered one of them.

The Librarians: The Next Chapter – Very creative episode.  While it ultimately was only sort of a murder mystery, I liked that aspect of the plot.  And some nice jokes as well.  Character development was predictable, but on the whole, a fun episode.

The Quiz with Balls – Pretty lopsided game.  And after that smack talk, too.  I was impressed that the one team kept as intact as they did – that’s hard to do.  And then to go out on the first bonus question.

The Snake – I don’t see how you can really control this game at this point.  Too many people with too much chaos and too many changes to be bitten.  I don’t see how anyone could expect a huge plan like that to work.  And, frankly, I feel like it was a little naïve to have thought the plan would stick together.  Interesting to see where it goes next time.

Destination X – If I’d had a map, I probably could have been close.  I get that they are going to be in a major city, and I would have guessed south of Germany based on the clues.  Throwing the challenge to get guaranteed red herrings was actually kind of smart early on.  But in the game like this, you need someone to bounce ideas off of and get more information.  Going solo got Kim eliminated.  Oh, and I love how Rick had nothing but apples in his basket even though he was the only one switching.
