Mar. 10th, 2019 09:58 pmFinished binge watching Legacies - I was about eight episodes behind. So watched four last weekend and four this weekend. Last week's episode was worth the effort, entitled The Boy Who Still Have More Good to Do -- it was an excellent episode. Legacies is doing a better job than Vamp Diaries and Buffy in exploring all the characters, in particular POC, and doing it without falling into cliches, overdone tropes, or stereotypes.

2. Rosewell, New Mexico -- is getting better each week. This week's episode was quite good, and delved even deeper into the characters, also the underlying mystery of what happened years ago to Rosa, and for that matter to Isabel and why.
I'm rather impressed by it. It's doing a good job of not just focusing on the romantic entanglements and building it's world and looking at the broader picture.
How the aliens coming to Rosewell changed a lot of people -- and not for the better.
3. Grey's Anatomy -- was interesting this week, better in some respects than last. (I'm struggling with the character of Maggie Pierce, I keep wanting to smack her -- this week a few people did it for me.)
The interesting thing about Grey's -- is it gets a lot of mileage out of "foot in mouth" disease. Most if not all of the conflicts on Grey's are caused by folks not being mindful of what they are saying. And hurting each other irreparably as a result, or creating a misunderstanding, because the other person took their words the wrong way.
Also everyone talks a mile a minute and devolves into a sort of nervous chatter. Meredith has calmed down a bit as has Alex. But a lot of the others haven't.
I find it interesting -- because being a long-time sufferer of foot-in-mouth disease myself? I can relate.
4. I tried the second season of the Big Family Cooking Showdown -- and they completely and utterly ruined it. ( Read more... )
