It's been a week since my last post - I have no idea how that happened. The week just got away from me, I guess.
Last night Mark and I headed to Wembley to watch the England vs Scotland match - I just wanted to see a game at Wembley stadium so got tickets! I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was amazing and England won (the less said about the actual performance the better. Let's just say there's still work to be done). The stadium itself is just really awesome - we were almost right at the back (there was one row behind us) but we still had a great view of the whole game and didn't miss anything. I would quite like to go to another game now!
In TV news: I've watched quite a few things since my last post (a whole weeks worth, obviously!):
"Hawaii Five-0" - 7x07 - I thought this 150th (I think?) episode was okay. It was interesting having Catherine and Doris back again (and also Lynn who I'd kinda forgotten about, to be honest. What happened to Alicia though? I like the possibility of her and Steve) but I as I'm not a fan of either of those characters this isn't gonna be a standout episode for me. Alex O'Loughlin did a good job, as usual, and the team stuff was enjoyable (even with the lack of Danny. Again). Hoping for a better episode this week.
"MacGyver" - 1x07 - I've started to really enjoy this show. I think it works really well back to back with Five-0 and the team dynamics are really good. Everything just really works for me in this show at the moment. It's just a fun show with likeable characters and good dynamics. Very enjoyable.
"Lucifer" - 2x07 - I thought this was a good episode. Iiked the focus on Chloe and I think Lauren German did a good job with it. I also loved Lucifer trying to be more like Dan by shadowing him for the day. I thought that led to some really great scenes between them. I wonder if they could actually end up being friends? I also really liked how Lucifer was there for Chloe even though he didn't really know how to be and thought he would just get in the way. This season has really stepped up a great from season 1 (and that was good anyway).
"Scorpion" - 3x07 - I thought this episode was quite a good one and I really enjoyed Walter and Ralf working together. They actually made surprisingly good partners. The Happy and Toby storyline played out in a way I wasn't really expecting but I'm kinda glad the baby thing ended up being a false alarm because I don't think either of them were really truly ready for it.
"Supergirl" - 2x05 - I enjoyed this episode. I thought the Alex stuff was surprisingly well handled. I thought it was gonna be a bit heavy handed but I think it kinda worked (I'm a tiny bit disappointed that she's seemingly not gonna bisexual though) and I'm interested in seeing where things might go from here for her. I also enjoyed the Mon-El (or Mike) stuff. He seems like he's kind of an arse but not in a really bad way. He just needs time to adjust to things. He is on another planet. I hope Kara will be more of a help to him after she talked to Alex about it.
"Arrow" - 5x06 - I quite enjoyed this episode. This show seems to have picked up over the last few episodes. I think the new team dynamics are settling in a bit and finding an almost mutual trust which can only be a good thing as things progress. I did think they were a little hard on Oliver though - his previous decisions don't make him a hypocrite, they make him someone who made bad choices and now realises that they were. He's still a person who's learning and I think their expectations of him were a bit unrealistic. I'm glad Felicity told her boyfriend the truth, I just hope she doesn't live to regret it. Can he be trusted? I also enjoyed the scenes between Lance and Thea. Their dynamic is really interesting and I'm looking forward to more.
"Designated Survivor" - 1x06 - I think this show is bubbling along really nicely. The FBI investigation aspect is interesting and I hope they can figure out everything they need to to solve this. I also think it's interesting that they're not telling the President about their suspicious and I'm worried that's gonna be a mistake. If they appoint that guy as VP it could lead to all kinds of problems (I think). And there's also the scandal aspect about the first lady that seems destined to come out. She probably needs to tell her son now (and does Kirkman even know?). I think the balance of this show actually works pretty well.
"Frequency" - 1x06 - I'm enjoy this show even though things are starting to get a little complicated. The Nightingale stuff is getting really interesting (is it gonna end up being someone on the show we already know?) and the character stuff is quite interesting too. After the first episode it moved away from the movie quite a lot so I'm curious about where things are gonna go next.
I also watched (and enjoyed but can't think of anything to say about): "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" 2x03, "Humans" 2x01, "Chicago Med" 2x03, "Criminal Minds" 12x04 and "Chicago Fire" 4x23 (season finale).
