Holy haunted mansion batman
The new TV schedule is well underway now and since my previous post I've watched quite a few things:
"Criminal Minds" - 12x01 - It's quite good to have this show back as I do generally like it. I thought the way things have picked up is quite good with them hunting the escaped prisoners from the end of last season. Nice new character too. I'm interested in seeing how things change when Hotch leaves (and how he even goes).
"Blindspot" - 2x05 - I thought this episode was quite good although I can't really remember much of it.
"Lucifer" - 2x04 - I liked this episode and I'm interested in seeing where things go from here - I guess Lucifer hasn't found the loophole he'd hoped. I thought the case of the week was quite interesting and I liked seeing Chloe interacting with the other women, even though it was set up by Lucifer. I wonder if it will happen again?
"Scorpion" - 3x04 - I thought this episode was quite good. I was quite surprised that they revealed Happy's husband so soon (I expected them to drag that out for longer) but it does disappoint me when pregnancy storylines seems to be all they can think of for women characters.
"Supergirl" - 2x02 - I quite enjoyed this episode. I enjoyed having Kara team up with Clark but I think it's good that they've parted ways for now and he's gone back to Metropolis. I thought it was interesting that she continued going with him. Obviously she was never actually going to but I didn't like the way Alex reacted to it. Yes, Alex has given up a lot to support Kara but Kara didn't ask her to and she shouldn't throw it back into her face when she doesn't like a decision Kara might make about her life. That really didn't sit right with me. Does she expect Kara to owe her for the rest of her life and what if Kara does decide to move on with her life and that includes moving away? I'm still interested in the Christopher Wood stuff. Still not sure if he's good or bad.
"Conviction" - 1x03 - I enjoyed this episode and I'm glad they took on a case like they did. Obviously the person in prison was a horrible person (and he would have done something horrible if he'd had the chance) but leaving him in prison for something he didn't do would have meant the real killer was still out there (it really annoyed me that no-one brought that up during their argument about the case). I was glad they found a way of keeping them both in jail though. I think Hayes was almost annoyed that she didn't think of it. I'm still not sure how they can stop this show feeling quite repeatetive. Enjoying it so far though.
"The Flash" - 3x03 - I was pleased that we saw Harrison Wells again and I'm glad he decided to support Jesse and her new powers in the end. I thought the introduction to Magenta was quite interesting and I'm wondering if we'll end up seeing her again - although after killing that other guy does it mean Alchemy is after her now? I felt sorry for Wally because he wants to know why he doesn't have any powers - I am wondering if he's having dreams about the kid Flash now (he definitely had some kind of reaction to Magenta telling them about her dreams - could be interesting). I thought the scenes between Barry and Iris were quite sweet but I'm not entirely sure how I feel about them giving things ago. I really liked the idea of them before but now I'm not so sure. Not sure how I feel about Tom Felton's character either. Don't know if I trust him.
"Scream" - Halloween special - I thought this two part episode was okay. It wasn't as good as the previous seasons and I'm glad the show has been renewed for a season 3 so this won't be the last we see of it. I am intrigued by the Keiran stuff though - does that mean he wasn't the actual killer in season 2 or just that he wasn't working alone? I'm interested in seeing where that all goes in the 3rd installment. Obviously it's not over yet.
I thought the actual story of this episode was okay. The killer was a bit too obvious (and the suspects were limited) but the situations were quite good. As the episode went on I was half expecting it all to just be a joke (like in April Fools Day) and that Noah and Stavo's editior (or whatever he was) had set the whole thing up as a way to cure Noah of his writer's block. Like being involved in a real life murder spree would knock something loose. I actually think that would have been pretty cool.
Character wise, I enjoyed the Noah stuff and him feeling bad about writing that graphic novel based on the murders, I wasn't keen on Audrey's new girlfriend. I didn't trust her for a start and I don't think the chemistry was really there which was a shame.
