I watched:
Revolution - I'm not sure how to summarize this one. Let's see, Uncle
Ninja and his team was being stalked by an invisible killer; yet
continue to all wander off by themselves. Giancarlo Esposito comes
along for the ride because the governor wants one of her people on the
trip. Isn't Uncle Ninja one of her people by this point? Even if he's
technically not, isn't he more trust worthy that Esposito? Uncle
Ninja's girlfriend is tortured for 21 days by the most incompetent
torturers on Earth. While Monroe decides to twirl his mustache and be
evil. That's about all I remember. Oh yes, someone drives into town
and no one seems to take any notice or interest that he's in a working
car. At a minimum they should assume he's one of Monroe's people and flee.
Bates Motel "Midnight" - The season finale. Norman takes a girl to the
school dance while mom learns how to shoot a gun. I found it
interesting that she asked her son why he had a gun in the first place
but not how did he learn to shoot one. It wasn't one of their best
episodes but still very watchable. It also had the line of the night,
"Norman, you know what you have to do." I think I may have to squeeze
in some time to watch Psycho again.

It is said that a group of monkeys randomly typing at a keyboard will eventually write all the great works of literature ... They fail to mention that before that happens... they type tons and tons of nonsense and drivel ... I think that explains the writing on this show and where it comes from ...

Two *major* problems with this - the one you made, and the fact that he
just took Neville's word for it.

Monroe is waiting for girlfriend in her cell, with the door shut. Why
doesn't somebody just turn the key and walk away?
Why is Monroe's entire Evol headquarters lit by candles and torches?

Well, Atlanta had cars. I think they were steam. And, he stole

BATES MOTEL
Another gem from Vera the Goddess learning how to shoot a
pistol (what was that, a Colt Python maybe?) and when Norman comes
into her room, having to shove it between her legs under the mattress.
The producers really took their first big misstep, by failing to
capitalize on the wonderful creepy teacher.
Grade: A-
DANCING WITH THE STARS
Kelly Pikler, of all people, apparently locked it up with a
bit of brilliant choreography from Deryck Hough. She has a remarkable
body, which you'd never realize. Great season.

She did. They were both perfect on their first dance, but Zendaya won

a competition that gave her 5 pts to Kellie's 4.
Here's the thing. Even though all 4 couples got perfect 30's on their
final, big-deal, freestyle finale, Kellie and Deryck had people
standing up and screaming, Len actually gave them a standing ovation,
Bruno said he wanted an "11" paddle, and Carrie Anne actually started
crying.
She wasn't even second, really. It isn't her fault though. It just
happens that Ally and Kellie got the two expert choreographers.
>I'll go ahead and jinx her, and predict that Zendaya wins it... ;)
Freestyle was the last thing people saw before voting opened, and
Kellie's performance was good enough to make a lot of people pick up
the phone and vote for her.
It's a tough season. Kellie and Zendaya are two of the best five
dancers they've ever had on the show.
I'd give you three to one on Pickler ;)

The trouble with American journalism, in short, isn't that it's too
skeptical, but that it's too willing to throw skepticism to the wind when
it suits the agenda of proclaiming every war a Vietnam and every

WAREHOUSE 13 (SYFY, 9 PM) / The Sky's the Limit
[Mrs. Frederic introduces Artie to Abigail Chow, the new B&B manager.]
This week, Pete and Myka hear about a weird death in Las Vegas and get
from South Dakota to the scene before investigators are even done
interviewing witnesses at that scene. Amazing. Just amazing. That's just
a very speedy jet, or something. And their investigation turns up a
granddaughter who is using an artifact to put some magic in the life of
her beloved and aging and in-need-of-a-boost grandfather. The best part
of that story line was the awesome deadpan face that Myka gave Pete when
Pete "offered" to spend a few days investigating the strip club side of
the story. But for the most part, Pete was back to being stupid and
annoying Pete. Elsewhere, Claudia and Jinks are off in London checking
out the local horseracing scene and some dead jockeys. This one had an
artifact user whose motives were a bit over the top. And back at the
warehouse, Mrs. F. has a pshrink take over the B&B so that she can do
some work on/with Artie, who still can't seem to grasp that he wasn't
responsible for what he was doing while under the earlier influence of
an artifact. Yeah, this story line is annoying me already. Not that I
expect Artie to just forget about it and move on, but because they're
going *way* too far the other way with it, and Artie just isn't that
stupid. Or wasn't, at least not until this stupid story line. And on an
unrelated note, Scagliotti needs to back away from the commissary
goodies on set. She's way to young to have the lower half of a
50-year-old woman who has given birth five times.
Grade: C+
BATES MOTEL (A&E, 9 PM) / Midnight
[Romero decides to take action; Norman brings Emma to the dance; Norman
gets a ride home from Miss Watson.]
It's season finale time and "I was wondering if you could give me some
advice on how to handle stress," Norma says to the pshrink. Heh. Good
luck with that. To both of you. Norman is going to a high school dance
with Emma, and he really, really, *REALLY* wants his black socks for it.
Really. Norma preps Norman for his big date by telling him that her
brother used to routinely rape her when she was as young as 13. Because
what better way to put him in a happy and healthy frame of mind for the
big dance than by bringing up incestuous statutory rape? On another
Mother front, Norma takes shooting lessons with Dylan, providing us with
one of several times in this one where I'm pretty sure that making her
funny was actually intentional for a change. She just couldn't wait to
pull that trigger. Heh. And on the seamy town front, it's goodbye, Mr.
Abernathy. First we learn beyond any possible remaining doubt that
Sheriff Eyeliner is definitely not as pure as the driven snow, and then
he offers to attend the midnight meeting in Norma's stead. And at first,
I wasn't quite sure if our sheriff was getting in over his head. I
thought that *maybe* his being a big local fish might be making him
overconfident about his ability to deal with someone operating on a
larger scale, but it's pretty clear that he's got a set on him and that
ol' Abernathy wasn't the Big Bad that I thought that he might be. Of
course, given that he was mostly talk with the slave trade bookkeeper
when he approached *her* earlier for the cash, maybe I should have seen
that he was more talk and aura than anything else. But now he's fish
food in the harbor, right along with the bookkeeper's dead brother who
was killed early on in the season by Norma. Is this an awesome town, or
what? Just don't drink the harbor water. Anyway, back to the high school
dance. Emma, even with her O2 tube, looks terrific, and I stand by my
earlier claim that she's a far prettier young woman than Bradley. But
Norman's eyes keep drifting to Bradley, so Emma gets understandably
upset and tells Norman to find his own ride home. This would have been
bad enough if said ride hadn't come in the form of Miss Watson in a red
dinner gown--with black lingerie underneath. Where was *she* coming
from, exactly? She'll never tell, as any plans that she had for Norman
that night (beyond cleaning up an injury that he sustained from a punch
from Bradley's main squeeze) were kind of cut short when Norman saw her
in her black lingerie and kind of ... well, it seems he went all
Norman-y on her. Which I think was a creative mistake on the part of the
writers, as the Watson character had all kinds of potential for season
two. I was predicting her as Norman's main tease *and* as the spurned
lover of someone high up in the local sex slave trade, or some such
thing. Instead, she's gone, but not before we heard her mention "Eric"
at one point earlier in her last day on earth, when she was having an
emotional telephone conversation with someone. We'll probably find out a
lot more about it all in season two, but we won't be hearing it from
Miss Watson directly. Oh, well.

Actually he told them to stay together after he collected their
weapons in a bag and had them all watch the bag and each other. Then
Miles went off to look for Nora alone. He found her and then brought
her back with her under suspicion as to being the mole. They were all
still where he left them. At that stage the original order to stay
behind and together didn't matter anymore.
Then after a few go rounds suspicion settled on Jason. Then Jason ran
off being falsely accused of being the killer, Miles went after him
with Neville chasing after Miles to make sure he doesn't blow his son
away.
Then Sanborn (the guy that help torture Nora and then rescued her) saw
the switchblade knife examined it and found out that it was from
"AMD", Annapolis, Maryland where Jim said he was. Sanborn ran after
Miles to tell him. He told Miles his theory and asked Miles did he
know anyone who was in Annapolis recently. At that Jim came out of
hiding took Miles's gun and shot Sanborn dead.
Then Miles and Jim fought with the gun getting lost in the struggle.
Jason shot Jim with Mile's gun after Jim kicked Mile's ass and was
about to kill Miles. He and Tom were likely drawn to the place by
Jim's original shot.

No. He is the commander of the rebellion, which is allied to the
Georgia Federation, not part of the Georgia Federation Army under her
command so Miles isn't "her man".

True I don't think in reality she would've held out for three weeks,
but I am glad they showed some time passage. Plus her dress was too
clean and that face too pristine although of course I don't want to
see it messed up anyway. :-)

From a guy in a car with no obvious weapons? I don't think so. Maybe
they thought it was steam powered-although they had to wonder how the
horn worked if so. :-)

Of course. We all know that Norma is going to end up in that basement,
probably stuffed like the dog so she would never leave Norman.

funny and goofy while still being a responsible agent. Take a look at
how the writers wrote Sherrif Carter on "Eureka" for a good example of
a lovable character that can be goofy at times but still comes off as
competent in his job. Pete comes off as someone you wouldn't want as
your barrista at the local SpendBucks. That's not a good thing.

better in the next episode. Not completely over it but noticeably
better.
As for Scagliotti I haven't noticed since it seems the writers have
changed the character a bit. Before the character seemed to stand out
even when she didn't have a lot of lines and now she seems more bland.
The tech stuff comes up but it's just "Yeah, I can fix that in just a
bit" or "I can hack that website and get information in just a
minute." I realize that's part of being on a TV show but some magic is
missing in what her character does. Maybe it's because everything is

there's almost always a really bad downside to any artifact. Unlike
the objects in "The Lost Room" which varied from being almost useless
to being quite dangerous.

It sounds like they used the same naming company as "Erehwon", which is

Nick Gillispie describes the Obama-era media as "more prone to

to us the metaphor is a little off. The pro-Obama media are acting like
watchdogs--but watchdogs whose master is Obama rather than the public.

Good example. Carter/Ferguson could be goofy and funny, but he didn't go

I don't know what she can say at this point that hasn't already been
said, or what insight she can offer him that he hasn't already
acknowledged in other contexts. It's as if the writers just decided that
they wanted to draw this bit out even though it goes completely against
common sense and the character's history.

I had to look her up to see where I remembered her from. She played the
seriously cute Eden in the first season of HEROES.

I also liked how one of them (Pete?) pointed out to the other one what
they needed to do, and that if they didn't do it, then they'd be trapped
there forever. Then, just minutes later, the other one (Myka?) pointed
out the same thing to the other one. Because, you know, the audience is
too stupid to grasp the danger without it being pointed out *twice* in
rapid succession by the two of them. Let's dumb it down, and then dumb
it down some more.

Maybe, but it's not as obvious when there's not crime scene tape and
cops in the background who are pretending to interview witnesses.

It's just been an incredibly lame and stupid and overwrought story line
for far too long already. Leena's dead, Artie. You--the real *you*
you--didn't do it. So get the hell over it already. You're not that
stupid. Miss her terribly, sure. I'd expect that. Be angry and bitter
about it, sure. I'd expect that, too. But this self-imposed guilt?
Completely bogus and incredibly stupid.

Well, like I often say, TV and movies are a visual medium, and she got
the role at least in part by looking young and appealing. And looking
like someone surgically replaced your bottom half with the bottom half
of a much thicker woman is probably not a good thing for her.

Okay, imdb says she was 25 when she made Dukes of Hazzard, and she
made those bluejean shorts look g-o-o-d. I think she was well on her

True, true, it stretches believability. I suppose they could have a

subtitle onscreen - 4 hours later, 8 hours later - or make it obvious
that it's the next day. Maybe they figure the audience doesn't really
care about the nuts and bolts.

Well, none of that is gonna make a difference if they're still gonna
show investigators interviewing witnesses at the scene.

I don't watch all that much TV, but what I watch, I *watch*. Because
it's good and because *not* watching will get me lost in a hurry. I get
the feeling that a lot of other people half-watch or quarter-watch or
just have it on in the background.

Sorry, despite what Miss Watson tried to do I can't see her as
"creepy". Maybe it is a bit of a double standard, maybe I remember how
I would've reacted at 17 going on 18 and the fact Norman is almost 18
a legal adult I just don't regard her that way.
It was wrong for what she almost did since she is a teacher in charge
of the studented and supposed to look upon them as if they were their
own children. College professors are expected to do the same even if
most of the student body are legal adults (allowing for one or two
child prodigies that are in college when they are 15 years old), even
when they are 22 and about to graduate, the old power disparity thing.
But if she wasn't his teacher I would not condemn it too much. Perhaps
she should've wated until after his birthday.
That said I thought the actess that played Miss Watson, Keegan Conner
Tracy, was much younger than she was. I thought the chracter of Miss
Watson was only in her mid 20s, not that much out of high school
herself. Well Tracy in real life is 41 years old!!!!
She is one of the hottest-and youngest looking-41 year old women I
have ever seen!
Since I don't think the character's age was given in the show I have
to assume that the character is the same age as the actress, 41. That
is a wide age gap even if she wasn't Norman's teacher.
For those who don't watch "Bates Motel" but do watch "Once Upon a
Time..." she is the blue fairy in the Enchanted Forrest and
Mothersuperior in Storybrooke.
BTW before I definately said that it was Norman's first victim. I am
not so sure now. I rewatched the last two episodes. In the shot of her
corpse on the floor she has a necklace with a B on it. Bradley had
taken letters from her old father's office that was adressed to
someone named "B" in the previous episode.
Could've been Bradley that killed her and Norma doesn't remember it?
