The Good Place is good this year. Love Ted Danson.

After the premier this season I had no clue where they were going to go with the story. They could have spent the entire season doing what they did in one episode. I've been quite impressed and actually didn't see this plot line coming.

Gotham just keeps getting better and better. Fantastic first 3 episodes. Too bad it will be on the block after this year.

If Fox can renew the Netflix deal it should be ok. Most Fox shows get pretty awful ratings these days so something should be nuked ahead of it.

AHS with a truly awful episode. They may have ruined the entire season.

Was this the one that was getting some cuts made due to Las Vegas? Or is that next week's ep?

I have to wait to see it until it hits Netflix, but this is one of the seasons I was interested in.

I will bear this in mind and be very careful with spoilers. Suffice that I really enjoyed this season up until this episode and now I am extremely unhappy.

If this is the one with the cuts, that could have made a difference in the ep. I just don't know which ep they were making cuts to.
 
Re: TV: There She Is, The Old Radiation King

Started watching Mind Hunter on Netflix.

The story is about how the FBI started to recognize "serial killers" as a category of criminal; their thinking, their profile, etc. The first 2 episodes are a bit slow and awkward, and I expected that. This type of story almost always starts like that. So far, so good, though.

It wasn't. The one with the cuts was this past week. It was OK, but they are really filling in spaces I'd prefer they had left blank. They are making the characters far more boring by explaining them.

Will keep that in mind. Thanks.

The good news: Revival of Supermarket Sweep in the works.

The bad news: It's owned by Piercin'-Dismantle, so it's likely to be royally screwed up.

Crazy ex girlfriend is back! I've missed white Josh.

Finished it up today. It was pretty good. I wouldn't put it on the top shelf of shows, but most definitely worth watching. Probably on the same level as the Unabomber show they have on there. There's an obvious lead-in to a second season, but dunno the contract situations/etc.

Ack, I missed it. God bless On Demand.

Had a funny discussion about CEG with a friend. She said she doesn't like the show because Rebecca is such an awful person. That's what I love about the show. Even when she does "I learned something today" she only becomes worse in an even more oblique way. I keep expecting the show to wuss out and make her in at least some fashion likable, or self-aware, but it never takes the bait.

I can't think of another show that does that. There are minor characters who are there as comic foils who never change, but that's just it -- Rebecca changes all the time. She has an infinite number of chances to reflect and reform, and she is sometimes on the verge of it, but then she just falls down another of the rationalization holes we all have.

My theory is that Rebecca is like this because she's actively creating herself, and good comes not from theory but from constraint -- from having to just shut up and provide, or be loyal, at least be there, for others. So CEG is an indictment of every vacant self-help message and every solipsistic "make the world a better place" movement that resides in our heads rather than our actions.

Agreed. Rebecca is terrible, and so is josh chan really. I love that they don't try even make her decisions seem like good ones.

White josh and Daryl are the healthiest people on the show but I wasn't a fan of their storyline this week.
