TeeVee
1. I watched the Sleepy Hollow and Bones crossover. I liked the Sleepy Hollow plot more, but thought the crossover part worked better in Bones. Ichabod and Abbie fit decently well with the plot there, but Sleepy Hollow pretty clearly only had Booth and Brennan in a couple scenes to have a second part of the crossover.
2. I liked this week's Minority Report a lot, and not only because Vega and Agatha actually had scenes together.
Most people are reasonably shipping Vega/Dash with a strong side of Vega/Arthur, while I'm pretty much shipping Vega with almost everyone but Dash. Not that I object to Vega/Dash, but he still reads as somewhat childlike to me, and doesn't really register on my potential shipping radar. The only non-Vega pairing I like is Agatha/Arthur and the dependent plotty emotional incest. I appear to be alone there though.
3. So, in Jane the Virgin, did anyone else wonder for a moment if the narrator revealed his identity?
Maybe it's because I've thought the narrator was Jane's son or grandson since fairly early in the first season, but I had a "Say what now?" moment when he said something about his feet while Jane was playing with Mateo's feet.
Luisa finding being kidnapped by Rose to be romantic was...very Luisa, but I like to think it was less ZOMG ROMANCE on her part and more thinking that she didn't have to be as a afraid if she was being held on Rose's orders.
4. How to Get Away With Murder was...well, it was certainly an episode.
Good grief what on earth happened in the Hapstall house in the flash forwards?
Much as I hate Frank and am willing to blame him for anything, I don't think that his performance at the hospital was an indicator of guilt, but was part of whatever huge scheme is going on. I still think everything (except maybe getting stabbed) is part of some plan of Annelise's.
I...am pretty sure they aren't going to make Asher a rapist, but I don't know where they're going for this. I mean, I really hope they don't go there. I mean, we have enough rape backstories/false rape accusations in this show already without "Oh, by the way, this largely sympathetic character who we've made genuinely likable for many viewers without forgetting that he's a douchey frat boy participated in a gang rape. But hey! Complexity! redemption arc!"
The Annelise/Nate and last Annelise/Wes scenes so looked like they were headed towards angry wall sex for a while there... (Somewhat disappointed they didn't. It could have washed the taste of the Frank/Laurel sex out of my mouth.)
Creepy Hapstall cousin, please do not to bad things to Oliver. Or your cousins, for that matter.
Less creepy because you are not a confirmed cyberstalker but still somewhat off Caleb, please do not toy with Michaela if you are in love with your sister and covering. (I'm not 100% convinced they are incestuous anymore, at least, not in the present.)
5. Star Wars Rebels wasn't as good as it could have been, but was still pretty good.
I enjoyed everyone noping out of Kanan and Rex bickering.
Though, OMG, give Hera more to do already.
It seems pretty safe to say that Ahsoka din't tell Rex about Anakin/Vader, though she may still have a bit of denial going on. I mean, I would.
I know why Ezra had to be on the base plotwise, but I had been hoping for more of Sabine and Zeb on their own. While they seems pretty close, we rarely get to see them interact.
BTW, Ezra, Kanan used your lightsaber to do some nifty tricks in last season's finale. Maybe employ a few of them yourself.
I guess the episode was mostly just to properly introduce the new inquisitors.
The force users in Rebels seem to have stronger telekinetic powers than force users have in other Star Wars media I've consumed. When Zeb accidentally knocked Ezra off the ship last season, Kanan was able to catch and carefully lift Ezra probably at least a hundred feet with only Ezra's voice as a guide thanks to the cloud cover, and the Inquisitor who looks like Cad Bane's extra bulky nephew or something was able to restrain a fully powered shuttle using everything it had to try to get away, and Inquisitor Buffy seemed to be completely bypassing the doors' controls and forcibly moving several tons of metal in different directions at once.
6. Since several of my shows were on hiatus this week and I didn't bother with Blindspot (maybe later), I ended up watching all of Tokyo Ravens. It was fairly predictable and a standard "magical high school school adventure series," but I enjoyed it.
I think I might check out the light novels.
Because apparently, after where the anime leaves off, Natsume becomes the main character in the books with Harutora still MIA.
7. I am still watching Quantico, but am mostly enjoying the ladies (But how did Danny Matheson turn into such an uberdouche, and why did the show decide to make that garbage on Sunday "shippy"?)and hoping the present day plot doesn't go horribly wrong.
