1. Back is better, doing rudimentary yoga, back exercises, and tai chi via DVDs. Also bought homedpedics lumbar support for home, office, and sent one to my father.
2. Downton Abbey S3 is slow. Good acting, sluggish and lame writing. I'm tuning in for the acting and characters, but the plot structure...
( spoilers )
3. Good Wife - lots of manipulating, but great twist.
( spoilers )
4. Once Upon a Time - The Cricket Game - damn, I like this show's ideas or story concepts better than its execution. Its execution is 9 times out of 10 disappointing. This was a great idea but so poorly executed. I wish it had a better writing staff. Jane's not bad. But everyone else...sigh. While Whedon had his issues, I sort of wish he was writing some of the dialogue for this.
Also like some of the characters and what they are doing with them, just want better execution and direction. Jennifer Morrison's Emma Swan looks bewildered 95% of the time, granted she has reason to look bewildered. But it would be nice to have a different expression.
And yes, Henry still grates on my nerves.
Do like Regina, Cora, Hook, Rumple, and Snow quite a bit though.
( spoilers )
5. Revenge - convoluted but entertaining. Got a bit lost on the Marco/Nolan subplot. I apparently missed the bit when Marco began to realize that Nolan isn't a fiend, and Marco is an idiot. My favorite character is Nolan. Could care less about Declan and Jack, the bar storyline is grating and cliche.
Watched it On-Demand. Too many bloody tv shows on Sundays. We have Once, Dowtown Abbey, The Good Wife, and Revenge. Why do all the networks put their best stuff on Sundays???
Emily Thorne has more chemistry with Daniel than Aiden, not sure why. Conrad is growing on me - he's entertaining.
6. Bunheads - Gilmore Girls this isn't. I miss Laura Graham, she did that snarky talking and never stopping nervous chatter better than anyone on the planet. Sutton Foster comes across as too abrasive, you just want to slap her. While you wanted to hug Lauren Graham. It's the self-deprecating tone. Snark only works with self-deprecation.
Also bizarre situations that made no sense. The writing is still off...I'm still waiting for it to find it's rhythm.
Haven't seen Justified yet or Merlin or anything else. Trying to sparse out the tv watching along with the posting. New Year's resolutions and all that.
7. Book report? Still reading The Blind Assassin, which is actually interesting. And am lusting after the latest entry in the Rachel Morgan series - the long-anticipated "EVER AFTER". In some respects the Rachel Morgan series is better plotted than Butchers, and also has better developed supporting players. In some respects I like it better, less conventional, with a bit more spark.
