Lost Girl 2.20:
DANG IT SHOW THAT'S TWO WEEKS IN A ROW WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU COULDN'T YOU AT LEAST TAKE DYSON TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
(So were my initial thoughts when I watched on Tuesday and typed the rest of this up. I have since mellowed but not altered my comments beyond this insert.)
And I was so happy when Kiara showed up and was all "I heard there was a war lets be co-HBIC! Oh, Dyson, I'm cool with the no-love thing, but how about some hot no strings sex anyway?"
I think there were interesting plot things going on too, BUT SO STEAMED. I THOUGHT WE WERE AT LEAST SAFE WITH KIARA AFTER NADIA. NOT THAT IT MAKES NADIA ANY BETTER!
(I'm not sure if I'm actually angrier about Kiara-well, I'm more attached to her because we knew her better-or if it's just built on the Nadia rage. IT'S ONLY BEEN A WEEK YOU KNOW NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR IT TO SUBSIDE.)
At this point, I think I woud have rather lost Dyson than Lachlan?
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries: This one was really fun!
Mac was back! If briefly! And Dot was bossy! And Phryne and Inspector Crankypants had wars of facial expressions and he got extra grouchy at being unwilling wrapped around her finger. (Also, I'm glad we found out about his wife but since we're obviously meant to ship them, I'd rather he was actually divorced instead of permanently separated.) I actually forgot about the plot in this one because all the characters were being so very delightful.
Nikita 2.17:
Ugh, Sean, why did you have to refer to Cassandra as "barbie"? It interfered with my appreciation of his cheery bodyguard routine.
But aside from that, this episode was pretty aces. Especially not taking the easy route with Cassandra and Nikita's "OMG NO I DON'T WANT TO BE A MOM! (Yet.)!!" freakout. But Alex breaking off from Division and being reunited with her mother and Semak dying does seem to really be wrapping everything up for her? I hope they have something really epic planned with Division around the corner.
Once Upon A Time 1.16: Emma, you're doing that awkward thing again where you're having more chemistry with your biological mother than anyone else. Please stop. And Rumples didn't annoy me for the first time since...sometime back.
That scene with Red at the beginning was seriously aces. (Charming, I'm glad you don't seem to mind the fact that women are always rescuing you. The Damsel In Distress role suits you. Especially with your obsession with True Loves Kiss.) I wish there'd been more of her though, or at least some Ruby. Hopefully she finds Snow or Charming soon?
I'm glad that using the bow (The one that appears lifted straight from 10th Kingdom save for it being a normal bow and not a crossbow...Nothing wrong with using your spiritual mama for inspiration though. Especially as promo stills indicate you'll be doing so again soon.) would have cursed Snow, justifying the "No, you can't kill this evil murderer!" subplot. Because "you're too god for that!" is kinda areally silly reason when it's a person who has absolute power over hundreds (thousands?) and who you both know is evil and has and will murder to achieve goals. (Not that I want Regina dead, of course.)
I actually really liked that Snow White went all angry vengeance, and I actually can't help but think that some of that would have happened even without Rumples's potion, just because of frustration over everything? But I wonder if the dwarves but those little red bows in her hair while she was sleeping hoping that she'd start acting all sweet and innocent like they made her look.
Was there blood in that box? Can you actually do DNA tests on a heart? IT BETTER NOT REALLY BE KATHRYN'S UNLESS THESE PEOPLE CAN SOMEHOW LIVE WITHOUT A HEART.
It seems a bit too obvious that Regina is setting Mary Margaret up, so I'm thinking maybe Rumples is doing it (intending something to save Mary before she's actually convicted) as a powerplay against Regina, and to get Emma and Mary to owe him. (I mean, isn't he also their landlord? I can't remember if it was said, but he's everyone else's landlord...)
And I wonder what was up with Rumples and Snow and Charming's hair, and if it somehow resulted in Emma/Henry/cursebreaking stuff? And August really annoys me (He makes me miss Graham a lot) but I am a bit curious as to who/what he is. I did briefly wonder if he might be a magic test tube baby created from Snow and Charming's hairs in a clone-like way, but the writers seem to be pushing Emma/August at us and that would be rather incesty and I don't think this show is going to go for deliberate incest.
I must question David's observation skills in his flashback though. Mary Margaret: straight pixie cut. Snow White: over a foot of very visible black curls. Not to mention the pseudo-medieval clothes. But I'm glad Mary ripped him a good one over things.
Ringer 1.18:
Siobahn, is that a CONSCIENCE??? I'm not sure how I feel about you getting one of those.
Bridget: Still the best parent Juliet has. Which is sad in a way. Though, I'm glad that now she knows what really happened with they awful fake-rape plot? I don't know if I want Andrew to know. (I mean, morally, he should, but I don't know if I can handle how he'll probably treat Juliet after that.)
Henry has been oddly growing on me lately. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
MALCOLM, PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD!!! (Especially as I have a very bad feeling that the show thinks it's changing out one black dude sidekick for another black dude sidekick-terminology deliberately used for previous and probable future narrative race!fail-but one woh won't interfere with the Officially Designated OTP. And I say that liking Solomon and approving of his continued presence.)
I also finished season 4 of Chuck. Despite going "What...no..." at the last scene (we'll see how it goes) it it temporarily bringing back one narrative aspect I dislike in earlier seasons, I likedthis season a lot, though I admit to being a bit distracted by Linda Hamilton, and all the Terminator/Sarah Connor references. (I suspect they asked her to do the pullups scene and she went "That was twenty years ago!" because someone clearly wanted it there.) Timothy Dalton's character was also a hoot. I admit, though, that I've forgotten most of season 3? I only really remember what happened with Orion, and the parts I liked.
