What Did You Watch? 2014-06-23 (Monday)

[Ubiquitous]

I watched:

RED EYE

MORAL OREL"
"The Lord's Greatest Gift". Orel believes that the dead people buried in
the town's graveyard are not appreciating God's best gift---life.

CHINA, IL:
The cartoon version of COMMUNITY. I'm not sure which came first, but
it's not very good either.

LUCY, DAUGHTER OF SATAN:
DJ Jesus attempts to break the record for holding for arms out for
three days and asks Lucy to make a commemorative dildo.

RICK AND MORTY:
"Something Ricked This Way Comes". Rick battles The Devil, who runs the
curio at which Summer works that gives cursed items, by opening a shop
next door that de-cursifies cursed items. Meanwhile, Jerry and Morty and
taken to Pluto after hearing Jerry insist that Pluto is still a planet
for a hero's welcome, but Morty discovers Pluto is actually shrinking
because they're mining out all of the Plutonium from the planet's core.

ADVENTURE TIME

REGULAR SHOW

THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY:
Last week's newest ep with tweets thst are so tiny and flashed soq
quickly they cannot be read. I'm sure it's a Moot Point since they're
probably censored.

THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY:
"Skunk in the Barnyard". Shannon confides in Tamra, only to discover
rumors are spreading about her marriage. Meanwhile, Lizzie finds herself
in the middle of Shannon and Heather's feud; Vicki and Brooks vacation
in Puerto Vallarta; and Tamra tries to teach Eddie about newborns with a
stupid robo-baby.

There are hints, again, that being bitten by a werewolf doesn't make you
a werewolf, but rather makes you a supernatural 'something' depending on
your personality and such. They hinted at this before with Jackson
turning into a werelizard (Chimera or whatever it was called) and now
this season there are hints that werejaguars are in the mix. Nothing is
resolved for certain about whether or not becoming a werejaguar is a
state of mind or something that occurs through actual contact with
another werejaguar, though. if it is contact, then maybe the werecoyote
is already in trouble. Side note, I'm not feeling the werewolf/werefox
relationship, but I am digging the human/werecoyote relationship as they
played well off of each other. Styles really is the star of this series.

REV.: The latest episode unlocked on Hulu. Most of the time this
series shows the reverend as a bit happless, overwhelmed, and down on
his luck. This episode pushed it a bit further and made him a less
likeable human being as he does three different things that are
ill-suited for a properly good human being. I felt sorry for his wife
and his daughter and his congregation in this episode.

Soccer: Mostly watched Mexico beat up on Croatia (the latter were lucky
they managed to score at all...). Also Brazil beat up on Cameroon, which
isn't much of accomplishment as Cameroon were one of the worst teams I
saw in the Tournament.
Once again, the morning games, which are the ones I really wanted to
watch, were the games I couldn't watch. :(

The Last Ship (recorded) - This was rather good, I thought, once you
look past some of necessary absurdities. (Heh - I'll laugh if in the
last episode of the series, it's revealed that this whole thing was an
elaborate practical joke played on the crew of this destroyer!! Heh...)
Anyway, this pilot was probably better than "Last Resort's". However,
it's worth nothing that "Last Resort's" pilot was the best episode they
ever put out (by far!), and it would be fair to assume that "The Last
Ship" may follow a similar pattern... :|

Falling Skies (recorded) - This, OTOH, I didn't like, *at all*.
A pretty terrible plot development, all around. The only plotline
that even half worked was Anne being on "the outside" continuing the
resistance. But putting everyone else "in camps", of various sorts, was
a really bad idea from a series storyline standpoint. I hope they put an
end to this soon... >:|

Mistresses (recorded) - Got interrupted by a call in the middle of this,
and still missed pretty much nothing. Basically, this episode had little
worth synopsizing, though I did like Harry (accurately!!) demolishing
Savi (Alyssa Milano), and I enjoyed Karen (Yunjin Kim) getting shot down
(hard!) for a date. He he he...

24 - A good episode, for once! I loved Jack... SPOILERS! SPOILERS!
SPOILERS!!... defenestrating Margo - didn't see it coming, but should
have expected it, being JACK!!!!11!! and all.
The problem is - now that the show has dispensed with it's 'A'
plotline, the rest of this season is going to be taken up with
wheel-spinning on its 'B' and 'C' storylines, which will be a lot less
compelling. They probably should have just ended this season here... :(

Recorded for later: Mistresses, Salem, Murder in the First, and
Longmire(!!! :D ).

boy named Sioux?
3) Walt's wife killer. Will Injun Joe move-up on the flowchart storyboard?

this was the first time I watched this, and I was just setting the stage
for Jill Wagner. I didn't understand any of it, and thought the after
show was awful. Oh well.

I never got that impression. Then again it's all fairly convoluted.

They hinted at this before with Jackson

I thought they had a clear explanation for that. Just don't ask me what
it was.

I watched:


Major Crimes - "Frozen Assets" - I think this was supposed to be a
comedy or something. The team gets a call from a wannabe cop who wants
an investigation into the death of a dog who inherited a $20 million
estate and whose eccentric owner died of mysterious circumstances.


True Blood - "Jesus Gonna Be Here" - The seventh season kicks off and
the show is as convoluted as ever. I'm going to tough it out for the
final season but the show just isn't good any more.


Switched at Birth - "Like a Snowball Down a Mountain" - Bay's dad takes
it upon himself to reveal her private medical affairs. Meanwhile Emmett
learns his cyber-bully may be in love with him. This one was all over
the place.

The upcoming previews looked a lot like The Last Resort. But I'm hoping
the quality holds.

I have this saved for later. I just decided to watch Murder in the

Yeah he has been the star since episode 1. I also like the
relationship. I think it'll be fun. I wonder if Lydia will show some
jealousy at some point. Like like some new monsters, etc. this season.

I also saw:

Wolf Watch (MTV) -- Posey, O'Brien, and Roden were the guests along
with creator Davis. Musical guests were Jessie McCartney and the
family alt=pop band, Echo Smith. The gals from Faking it also showed
up.

Major Crimes (TNT) -- A lighthearted episode about a murdered dog that
leads to the murderer of his rich eccentric owner.

Murder in the First (TNT) -- Evidence continues to stack up against
Blunt. Everyone gets some romantic interest, some from more than one
gender. Mulligan slips her card to a battered barrista and then ends
up putting 5 square into the abuser later when she intervenes after
being called. I can't help but think the murderer will not be Blunt.
Am I being paranoid? :)

Switched at Birth (ABC Fam) -- Bay breaks Tank's heart. John
erroneously blames Tank for Bay's need for the Morning After pill.
Gotta feel for Tank although what happened is typical. Emmett's
beatdown guy is a closeted gay in love with him. Regina gets bent out
of shape that her boss has a gun even though he's licensed, nut after
a later encounter tries to find out how he went about it.

MasterChef (Fox) -- The top 2 from last week's challenge, Leslie and
Francis L. are team leaders for a wedding dinner challenge on the
beach. Leslie sucks as a team leader and is replaced by Francis B. The
Blue Team led by Francis L. is declared the winner. The judges berate
the Red Team the remainder of the episode, yet their comments during
the event were not at all unfavorable. At the Red Team challenge, the
judges set up Leslie by asking him which three he would select to
compete for elimination and he furthers shows what a mean person he is
in selecting the three that did the most during the challenge. The
judges then tell him it's a good thing he doesn't get to decide and
they do. Ramsey chooses Leslie, Graham selects Jordan, and Joe taps
Francis B. who took over for Leslie. The challenge is steak and
matchstick frites. Only Leslie cooks his steak medium rare. Francis
B's frites were a bit better than Jordan's so Jordan takes off his
apron.

23 (Fox) -- as most of us suspected last week, Heller wasn't standing
in the stadium. The fakeout almost works and the terrorists destroy
all but one drone that they target on a populated train station. Jack
takes out the trash through the window -- twice -- and guides the last
drone into the Thames. Much rejoicing until Jack gets a call fingering
Navarro as a baddie, but Navarro kills and escapes with theOverride
device. The big boss is of course (in the 24 world) Chloe's group
leader.

Rookie Blue (Global CA) -- Abg dhvgr nf tbbq nf zbfg bs gur cerivbhf

[icebreaker]

I forgot one:

Longmire (A&E) -- Branch investigates his own beating and creatively
proves the dead man may not be dead after all. Walt investigates a
murder among a wilderness group. Vic experiences more marital woes as
Gorski appears to be stalking her and taking pictures.

Some background that may help:

1. The five teens were on the road trip to find a lost 'friend',
kidnapped from them last season.

2. The main character, Scott, (dark haired boy) is a werewolf and the
'leader of his pack'. He is a good guy, so he doesn;t go around making
more werewolves (which is why the Mexican werewolf hunter lady didn't
kill him, I guess.

3. The male sidekick, Styles, is often there for comedy relief. He was
the one trying to fix his Jeep. He is human. He has a budding
relationship starting with the female werecoyote.

4. The female, Lydia (played by Holland Roden who Ian apparently drools
for), who was being questioned about her 'powers' is a Banshee. As
such, she can scream for help...but in more useful terms, she can
sometimes sense things (especially if she touches an object associated
with an event or person).

5. The female, Malia, is a werecoyote. She went feral as a child and
so spent her formative years as a coyote living in the woods and has
only recently returned to human form/interaction...hence all the jokes
about her social skills improving (stuff like her talking about eating
someone before moving on).

6. The Asian looking female, Kira, (who, of course, is big on martial
arts) is possessed by some sort of Fox spirit and she has magical powers
over electricity. She is a more recent addition to the cast, brought in
to be Scott's new love interest as his old one was killed off last season.

7. The 'big reveal' at the end would mean nothing to you if you have
not watched previous seasons. Basically, the teens found the guy they
were looking for in Mexico...but he looks totally different, maybe 15-20
years younger than he was last season. No idea how/why that happened.

8. All the Mexico stuff and characters were new and probably one off
for this week's plotline.

9. The bounty hunter woman on the motorcycle (don't know her name but
she has scars all over her face) shows up from time to time to help or
oppose our protagonists depending on who is paying her that week.

10. The potential werejaguar, Kate, was part of the Argent family
(werewolf hunters). This family includes Scott's ex-girlfriend (who is
now dead), her crazy grandpa, a now dead mother, Kate, the crazy killer
aunt, and Chris, the father of the family who hunts werewolves, but only
bad ones.

As you may have guessed, this show has a lot of different things going
on...way more than can actually be kept track of, too, so if you feel
lost don't feel bad. Even having seen every episode, I frequently find
myself asking 'whatever happened with that' or 'where did that character
go' or 'who is this person again'?

The werelizard (or Kanima or whatever it was called) was started by a
werewolf bite but transformed into something other than a werewolf
because of the host's mental state. Now, in this latest episode, they
at least hinted that Kate Argent is a werejaguar...after being slashed
by a werewolf. Either she is a werejaguar because of her mental state
or because she did something to transform herself other than just being
slashed by a werewolf. It remains to be seen.

I thought it was simply because he was mentally conflicted. I never did
quite understand why he had a 'master', though...or how crazy grandpa
figured out that a werelizard could be controlled to do his bidding.

Yes, I guess they are neck scars, not really face scars. She got those
being attacked by a group of werewolves a few seasons back.

It was, but I stopped watching. ;-)

I think that was supposed to be the claw from a werejaguar, but it was
done so poorly that it didn't look like a cat claw at all.

No problem. As the new season starts up, it benefits me to refresh my
memory on some of this stuff.

Except for the illogic of megaPython being ok, it at least makes sense.
I'd love to know who is adding the data to your spellchecker. I'm
certainly not ready to trust them with a real dictionary, though maybe
they could handle the Urban Dictionary.

If that is the case, maybe the spellchecker was written by someone who

In that case, it sounds like it is simply a spellchecker/reference that
has too lax a set of standards for adding new items to be added, much
like the Urban Dictionary.

You should misspell several dozen words and then click on the 'learn'
button for each of them. In a few weeks, we'll see if everyone else is
suddenly misspelling them as well. ;-)

If it was the Urban Dictionary you could add whatever definition you
wanted, including:

decimate: the act of misusing a word so as to destroy all meaning.

On Mon Jun 23 I watched:

THE MENTALIST: Grey Water
All the colors of the rainbow and then some in the titles.

CSI: Unshockable
An old episode which I had missed.

SILENT WITNESS: Coup de Grace (1), (2)
I like Emilia Fox, who was in Merlin.

ELEMENTARY: The Man With the Twisted Lip
I did not get the significance of the title,
but I are not 100% attentive with this show.

She probably had very little interrogation value, as she was portrayed
as not being a part of any larger group. She was the head of her whole
organization, which was pretty much wiped out. And tossing her out the
window solved the whole issue of the Brits going easy on her-- as they
are wont to do with even the most barbaric animals-- or if turned over
to the Americans, it keeps some future Obama clone from releasing her in
return for her promise to be really, really good from now on.

She got what she deserved. Good for Jack.

I question the toss. They weren't high enough to insure death, so he
should have carefully dropped her on her head. Didn't Robert Preston say

Longmire isn't innocent. He was planning to act on his feelings in a
most clumsy way (that would have gotten him sued for harassment).

[suzeeq]

I think he meant Vic's husband. He wasn't the one following Vic around.

[Adam H. Kerman]

You think who meant Vic's husband? I don't know what that has to do with
my comment. Everybody assumed Gorski was stalking Vic again, everybody,
even though Vic pretended it wasn't.

Vic's husband confront Longmire assuming he wasn't innocent... and Longmire
wasn't innocent. He simply lacked an opportunity to act on his feelings,
but he thought he was going to sleep with Vic at the motel.

I read what Hunter wrote as saying Vic's husband was innocent (of
following her and taking the pictures). Maybe I read it wrong. I don't
know who everybody is that assumed Gorski was stalking her - this
season. They thought they'd got rid of him last season.

[Adam H. Kerman]

Right. Do terrible continuing plot elements on mediocre shows like this
ever really go away? Vic could kill Gorski, and his twin brother would
show up to resume stalking her.

I ignored hunter's comment because it was one of those hunter comments that
wasn't worth commenting on.

"Major Crimes" and it predecessor "The Closer" always was a dramedy
but they did tone that down in "Major Crimes" and went for more
straight drama. But in this case they turned it back up with the
wannabe nutty cop, but he is nutty in a "good" way. If he was rich he
would be called "eccentric" like the Obama hating Queen Elizabeth I
looking widow who had her head frozen and left all of fortune (save
$,1000) to her Maltese...Falcon.

If they follow the novels, Vic will divorce him and start having a sexual
relationship with Walt.
