Happy December!
Yesterday we took Alfie and Tegan to the vet to get them both neutered. After the year we've had I'll admit that I was a bit worried. Thankfully everything went smoothly for both of them and they're both back home being as annoying as ever.
In other news: it's now December. How did that actually happen? It feels like September, October and November barely even happened. It is now officially Christmas month though which is a bit exciting! I have decorated my bedroom accordingly. And I've been watching naff Christmas movies on Christmas24.
I've watched some of my shows this week (although some of them are still off for some reason):
"Lucifer" - 2x10 - I thought this was another interesting episode. I liked the continuation of the case about Chloe's father - it was good seeing the court case and everything. I think we always knew there was something special about Chloe and I'm glad we seem to have found out what that is, but what does it all mean? Incidentally, the chemistry between Tom Ellis and Lauren German is brilliant which is making the scenes between them really interesting to watch. This season has been really strong so far. I'm looking forward to more.
"Supergirl" - 2x08 (1) - Part one (sort of) of the DC Universe crossover. I enjoyed this episode but was a little surprised that the only bit even connected to the others episodes of this crossover was the final scene - it seemed almost like an after thought. I enjoyed the rest of this episode though, as a stand alone episode not connected to the episodes of other shows. I've started to really like Mon-El. I think he's a really interesting character and I'm looking forward to seeing where things go for him as the season progresses. I do think there are things he's not telling Kara and I'm kinda looking forward to the fall out of that, if it happens. I know in some sections of the fandom they don't like Mon-El but I really enjoy his character. I think Chris Wood is very watchable (and he's super cute).
"The Flash" - 3x08 (2) - Part two of the DC Universe crossover. I thought this episode was quite good although seeing aliens in this show was a little odd. It was fun seeing Barry enlist the help of his friends to try and defeat them. I felt sorry for Barry during other parts in the episode when everyone didn't want to work with him anymore because he made a mistake. I thought they overreacted a bit. I can understand Cisco but I thought the others were a bit hypocritical (don't the Legend's travel through time and change things all the time? I don't watch the show so I don't really know). I did like seeing Oliver on Barry's side though, I thought that was a nice touch.
"Arrow" - 5x08 (3) - Part three of the DC Universe crossover. I liked seeing the continuation of the storyline and the alien's giving them all visions (hallucinations?) of what could have been was quite interesting. Oliver's other life made sense but I'm not sure how John would end up being the Green Arrow and working with Felicity though - surely Felicity and John only met because of Oliver? I guess it made for interesting viewing though. And I liked Oliver having to decide to go back.
"Legend's of Tomorrow" - 2x07 (4) - Part four of the DC Universe crossover. I don't actually watch this show usually so I didn't really know who half of the characters were (the ones who hadn't previously featured in other shows) but I did enjoy the conclusion of the storyline. I was glad Cisco realised that he'd done the same as Barry had - when he was getting excited about going back in time and stuff I was shouting at the screen that given how he complained to Barry about him using his time travel powers it was a bit silly for him to just blindly do it without thinking because it was cool. I was glad Cisco realised and sort of apologised to Barry. I wonder if their friendship can actually survive this? I also enjoyed Cisco and Felicity teaming up and the final scenes between Oliver and Kara were nice. All in all, I thought this crossover event was good enough but I think I prefer my shows separately.
"Teen Wolf" - 6x03 - I thought this episode was pretty good. I loved the scenes between the Stilinksi's. The scene with the sheriff's father was really interesting and finding out about him was good and gave us some insight into the sheriff and his relationship with Stiles.I had a feeling that his father would remember Stiles but that scene when he shouted at the sheriff to go back to his "dead wife and loser son" was intense and I think maybe the sheriff is starting to remember - or at least realise that there is something he's forgetting. Oh, and the way the revealed his name was cool - Noah, huh? I think I'll still call his sheriff! The scene between him and Scott was really good too - I did wonder though if he's curious about why he even has the close relationship he has with Scott. Why would he if Stiles wasn't around? I think the way they've done this is really interesting. I'm really beginning to mistrust Claudia though, if that's even who she really is. Hmmm.
I thought the rest of the episode was as confusing as ever - it was good to see Argent back and I liked the scenes between him and Melissa, just what is the teacher up to and how is he involved in everything else that's going on? The scenes between Liam and co were quite good too.
"Designated Survivor" - 1x08 - I'm enjoying this show. I really want Maggie Q's character to just tell Kirkman what's going on. I know it's not as easy as that but someone needs to tell him what's really going on and that McLeash (sp?) is involved in it all. I'm looking forward to her teaming up with Kirkman to kick some arse. I really hope that happens as the season progresses. I was glad to see the conclusion of the almost storyline about Kirkman's son though.
"Frequency" - 1x08 - I'm really enjoying this show too. I especially like how it's moved away from the movie's plot because I did worry about how they were gonna make that storyline last. I think focusing on the nightingale was probably the right move as it's working well. In this episode I also really enjoyed the stuff between Raimy and Daniel (is that his name?), I liked that he's ended up being drawn to her in this timeline too. I'm really interested in this Megan lead too. Looking forward to more.
"Supernatural" - 12x07 - I knew we were gonna have an ongoing storyline episode soon as we'd had so many standalone's recently. I was almost dreading it but I ended up enjoying this episode. It was good seeing Castiel again, and Crowley to some extent. I thought this episode worked quite well. I wonder where Lucifer is gonna go now?
Also watched:
"The Librarians" 3x02 and "Chicago Med" 2x06.
