Extant S01E04 "Shelter"

It feels like there are two shows happening here - the alien baby and Ethan. I'll be interested to see if they have anything to do with each other.

So the underplot here is that a rich guy is dying and doing all kinds of experiments on people and aliens to save himself.

Is Ethan going to lose on purpose?

Well we turned on this grandpa real quick.

Yeah Molly probably should have told her dad that he needs to keep an eye on Ethan. Kidnapping aside, the kid tends to wander off.

Did they just KILL him??

They were using Ethan as bait? What if the husband had found him?

Are they going to take the embryo? Because she's just a baby maker, right?

I wonder if Molly would die for her son. If not, would her husband resent her? (Probably.)


Homicide: LIfe on the Street S03E03 "Extreme Unction"

I agree with the Lieutenant. Pembleton's being inappropriate. An appearance of impropriety could ruin the case.

Why do all cop shows do an episode with a MPD suspect? And every time the cop says s/he's faking. Like they know better.

Wait, why is it over between them? Did Russert just preemptively end it?

Pembleton laughing at the gloves monologue is the best reaction there could have been.

Homicide: Life on the Street S03E02 "Fits Like a Glove"

"Off the record?" Pembleton ain't no fool.

Haha, the Candyman is asking about whether there's a serial killer.

Hahahaha, Munch and Gus standing and staring at Bayless in the locker room is great!

Chain letters are illegal?

I kind of feel bad for Beth?

The profile sounds like that collector guy.

Homicide: Life on the Street S03E01 "Nearer My God to Thee"

"The networks make the writers and producers add sex." Will there be extra sex in this episode?

Oh Munch, you have no idea how right you are about the coming technology. "I'm talking about high definition. I'm talking about the fast lane of the information superhighway."

"I wish they would bring back Hawaii 5-0." Munch isn't the only one predicting the future!

Man, this lieutenant lady is a badass. Look at how she grabbed that gun!

Tony Todd?? The Candyman!!

Breaking into your own house, Beau? Really?

Oh at last we see Beth.

So is Beth a little crazy?

If it's not a sex crime it's probably someone trying to make it look like a sex crime.

True Blood S07E06

We got Chromecast so I watched this on TV while sitting on the couch and decided not to blog while watching.

Pretty good episode, I guess, propelling things forward. What's Violet's angle?

Masters of Sex S02E04

Courtney B. Vance will be in this episode? Neat, I guess.

Also, Allison Janney just won the Emmy for Best Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama and I am so very happy about it.

Is Courtney B. Vance going to get to interact with Detective Wheeler?

Lillian is going to die this season, isn't she.

It's nice that Ginny's dream-Bill does not have the same attitude about bringing her back on as real-Bill.

I would love to write a paper about this show and its concept of "The Work"

Did Ginny think of that excuse for meeting at the hotel off the cuff or had she been working on it in advance in case of an event like this?

I wish Libby wasn't so mean to the nanny, whose name I wish I knew...

I like the diet pill lady's attitude toward Ginny's condescension: "Maybe you're special."

Poor Betty. I bet if she told he husband that she's infertile he'd be understanding. He seems to generally care for and about her.

The lice stigma is a stubborn one, even nowadays. But here it's a race thing, too.

Are tubal ligations really irreversible? Or were they just thought to be at the time?

Lying to him, however, the pretzel man might not forgive.

Is Dr. Blonde going to get with Dr. DePaul? Is he going to "transform" her?

Oh. No. He's telling her about Ginny and Bill.

Coral. That's her name.

"Your hair is the same as yesterday" means that she didn't wash her hair?

Hmm, what's behind Lillian wanting Ginny to tell her about the affair? Is it a desire for trust and friendship?

Oh no. Libby is going to do Coral's hair. The nice thing to do, Libby, if you insist on having her wash her hair with the lice shampoo, would be to offer to pay to have her hair done again.

Is the show trying to make us dislike Libby so that we condone Bill's affair?

Oh, so Libby is paying for the hairdo. Still. That was pretty demeaning.

I don't know who this European guy is. Why is Lillian giving up her project? Because Ginny wouldn't tell her about her affair?

Bill is using the threat of turning gay to scare the Saxman away from observing his study.

Ginny's like "I did this for YOU. But it belongs to me too"?

I'm not a big fan of this diet pills subplot thing. Is that the point? Well, we'll see where it goes.

"I guess you would be the expert on phony Bettys" Oooooh, burnnnnn/

Well I guess pretzel man was kind of being a phony, too, by letting Betty think he didn't know about her past as a hooker.

Wow. I'd never seen Bill let himself look as vulnerable as that to Libby as when he was promising that he would take care of her.

Oooh, he went to a colored hospital!

The X-Files S07E04 "Millennium"

Okay, I admit I haven't really been paying attention to this episode. What's going on?

But this episode is just a tie-in for Chris Carter's other show, right?

"Nobody likes a math geek, Scully." - Mulder

Whre are they that it appears to be daytime when it's midnight in Times Square?

Ahh!! They're kissing!!!!

Okay.

Extant S01E03 "Wish You Were Here"

I really like Halle's haircut in this.

Ahhh, so Julie feels like she is Ethan's mother.

So was the suicidal coworker also a hallucination?

So was Tim a plant to get her to come in voluntarily?
