Friday night is when the losers stay home and watch TV
Spoilers for 10/26:
OK, so Moonlight? Seriously growing on me. I am now willing to watch without fast-forwarding to the JD scenes. Although I have to say: the scene where Beth met Josef for the first time? And got treated to the full-on focused, obsessive Logan stare? Yum. She didn't seem as affected by it as I was, but then, JD did a great job of bringing the just slightly crazy. No surprise she was weirded out.
I'm dating myself, but does anyone remember a show from the 80s called Beauty and the Beast, where Linda Hamilton had a forbidden love thing going on with a lionesque hero from an secret underground society? I was about the right age in 1987 to think that was like the coolest thing ever. Moonlight has a similar, suck-you-in cheesiness about it. It speaks to my inner teenage girl in all the right ways.
I'm still on the fence with FNL. Although I like that Tyra and Landry have one of the main storylines, I don't like what the story has done to Tyra's character. She's once again a terrified girl desperately afraid of being alone. And after all the character growth she had last season, it's frustrating to see her essentially back at square one.
I like that they've given Jason and Tim a friendship storyline that has nothing to do with football, but don't particularly care for the story itself. It's more than a little over the top. And I don't like the Julie storyline at all. We've been given to believe all along that she's a fairly mature, sensible, self-possessed teenage girl, and now all of a sudden she's a shrieking brat in need of a good kick in the ass. It seems as though the writers have no idea who these characters are a lot of the time.
So yes, I stay home on Friday nights and watch TV. I'm a big loser! Who else was watching?
