January 31st's Weekly TV Thoughts

Somehow, I managed to get caught up.  Which means I have a LOT of thoughts.

The Traitors (1/15) – I wasn’t expecting two episodes.  I’m so glad that Michael is gone.  But it just amazes me the group think.  Everyone is so sure that it is Ron, when he laid out some very good arguments at the beginning.  But they are going to keep on him.  Of course, it’s because they really don’t have any other clues.  That’s what makes this game so hard.

Happy’s Place (1/16) – Yeah, that was fairly predictable, but I still loved it.  These characters are such fun when they are allowed to play off each other.  What impresses me is that we yet again have an episode without guest stars.  They are keeping them to a minimum this season, yet you never really notice.  That’s how good the writing and the cast are.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians (1/21) – I’ve been hearing how the series ending is different from the book, and I had to go look it up.  It’s just been too long since I read it that I had to look things up.  I’ll be interested to see how they play out the twist they did with Thalia.  And I’m really wishing I could remember what really happened to her in the books.  I need more time to reread things.

Shifting Gears (1/21) – I really like this new boyfriend.  I wish he were going to stay around.  But it’s obvious where the show is ultimately going to go romance wise.  Very funny episode overall.

The Traitors (1/22) – I feel for Rob.  I really do.  He’s caught between people everyone knows he is playing with and the Traitors.  I’m now sure what I would do in his situation.  Lisa’s around for at least another day.  And I’m curious to see if the eavesdropping they supposedly showed us was real or not.

Happy’s Place (1/23) – I’m very surprised.  I assumed I knew where Gabby’s storyline was going to go.  Does this mean we are looking at an adoption?  Love that we are slowly getting to know Dakota better.  He’s a man of surprises.

Wild Cards (1/26) – This was a very pleasant surprised when it popped up on my DVR.  I wasn’t aware the show was coming back already.  And I’m so happy it did.  A fun case of the week and some new, juicy storylines set in motion.  I can’t wait to see what this season will hold in the way of twists and turns.

Shifting Gears (1/28) – Not quite as great as last week, but still pretty funny.  And it was nice to finally meet the son/brother.  They wrote it so that he could move back home, too, but I wonder how much we will really see him going forward.

The Traitors (1/29) – This is the part where things get interesting.  I get why Rob was voting how he was, but leading the argument against Lisa?  That’s next level stuff.  I love it when the traitors are at each other’s throats.  This is going to be fun.  And who will the new traitor be?

Happy’s Place (1/30) – I’d forgotten that Emmet had this secret, which is ironic since I’d seen this episode when I went to the tapping back in September.  (The episode I actually watched be filmed is probably the first one back from the Olympics.)  Anyway, it’s been quite a while since they did much with this storyline.  Or even really did much with Bobbie and Emmet’s relationship.  Still, a fun episode with a serious ending.
