Extant S01E02 "Extinct"

So to recap: previously on Extant, Halle Berry is space pregnant and her son is a robot.

Oh, and also possibly ghost people?

There's no futuristic washing machine?

Oooh, Space Jenga!

I think I was reading something the other day about how female astronauts are only interesting in popular culture because women can get pregnant. I didn't read the full article, though...

So did the bosses do this to Halle on purpose, do we think? Or are they not in on it?

I think Survival of the Fittest is a bit more nuanced than that.

This Mother ghost/alien reminds me of doped up Mr. Burns in the X-Files episode of The Simpsons. "I bring you peace and love"

This friend is totally going to go traitor at some point.

So Yasumoto is dying, and sleeping with his board member.

Masters of Sex S02E03

"Erections aren't the totality of manhood." I feel like a thesis could be written on the first 10 minutes of this episode.

I like getting to see what Bill and Virginia's interpersonal relationship is like beyond the sex.

This is a really nice bottle episode.

I love how they go between talking about their fantasy marriage to weaving in their own pasts.

(Bill Masters being left at boarding school for Christmas is a lot less funny than Sterling Archer being left at boarding school for Christmas.)

I bet Bill just told Virginia more about his father than he ever told his wife.

The sound of Virginia touching herself over the image of the boxing match on TV. Whoa.

"Role playing throughout" ie, this is isn't *real*

"I'm begging you" That is so fraught given how Bill said he never ever begged his father to stop beating him.

"Better a tomboy than a sissy." Ayup.

"I want to see how it ends" Brings it full circle to Virginia telling her daughter that she likes to know how things will end.

True Blood S07E05

Rutina Wesley is still being credited. Hmmm

They seem to be angling to get Sookie and Bill back together.

"I liker her. I like you." "Is it all right if I haven't made up my mind about you yet?" "I really like her." I <3 Pam.

Hah. Jane Bodehouse's ancestor owned a bar.

I really like Jessica's dress.

I love Andy.

Carrie Preston is so wonderful as Arlene.

Pam looks awesome as a Republican asshole.

It seems like the fact that James cheating on her in the car that they bought together is what upset Jess the most.

Why is Willa looking for Arlene? (She looks awesome, btw)

All kinds of drama at this party.

Sarah Newlin running away from the yakuza and running into Eric is just like Sarah Connor running into Arnold in Terminator 2. Same shots, I think.

So after the party everyone leaves Sookie alone AND with a mess to clean up. Nice, guys.

Homicide: Life on the Street S02E04 "A Many Splendored Thing"

"She gave phone sex." GASP!

Bayless is so wigged out about all this and Pembleton is like, "Yeah, whatever."

Bayless is so judgmental. A victim who does sex work isn't as important, or as innocent, as an 11 year old girl.

Aw Munch, why you gotta ruin it?

Hahahaha. This bedroom full of pens is awesome. It's like a pen serial killer?

I knew that neighbor had something to do with this murder.

Oh no, is Munch going to steal away Bolander's lady?

So a leather jacket turns Bayless into Sandy from Grease?

Terror in Resonance S01E03 "Search & Destroy"

Why aren't they analyzing the video itself?


This institute or orphanage or whatever it is reminds me of Monster.


I like this music during the reveal of the riddle's solution. Jazzy.


Tadanobu Asano should play Shibazaki in the inevitable live action adaptation.


So Shibazaki is the Lester Freamon of the (whatever agency this is.)

Masters of Sex S02E02

I'm glad Betty is back.

Yaaaay!!!!1 It's Betsy Brandt!!!

Oh, is this the Rose girl?

Did Masters & Johnson invent laproscopy?

Oh no, is Libby going to be horrible to the nanny?

Homicide: Life on the Street S02E03 "Black and Blue"

Aw, Bolander's just lonely. (Whatever happened with that medical examiner?)

I feel like Pembleton jeopardized his case against whoever did kill Cox by coercing a confession from that other guy.

Good episode.
