I watched:

THIS IS US: Another entire episode devoted to William as the family
holds the funeral wake. During this episode each of the female
characters decided that William's funeral should really be all about
them. Meanwhile, in the flashbacks, we get a lot more foreshadowing
about drinking and driving with the dad. Meanwhile, Kevin finally
debuts his play which is ignored by the critic, but attended by Opie,
who offers him a job. I know his character arc is to continually fail
upwards, but he really needs to take a step back and pass on this job
opportunity. Meanwhile, Randall does his own job reevaluation.

OUTSIDERS: One of the two women stabbed in the last episode lives and
one does not. Meanwhile, the sheriff goes back up the mountain to warn
the kinfolk about Little Foster's fate. They know what a bus is, but
from the action that ensues they really don't know much about wight
differentials. Meanwhile, the town parade is interrupted by the
mountain saving widows society (or whatever they are called) and the
beauty queen is left in ashes.

GHOSTBUSTERS: The 2016 female comedian remake of the original. This
film was much better done than the original and the changes to the plot
made for a much better sci-fi-y storyline than the touchy-feely
original. I definitely enjoyed the fact that this film was not simply a
remake of the original. Instead, it was quite different and almost felt
like a very high end piece of fan fiction film production.
Unfortunately, all that improved quality didn't make for a better film
because of a bunch of drawbacks. Drawback: the women are not funny as
they tell queef jokes and Melissa McCarthy frequently does her SNL Sean
Spicer impersonation without the makeup. Drawback: this film is very
gay as Chris Hemsworth provides some sort of 'female eye candy' that
really comes off in this storyline as a homoerotic farce. At best, this
bit of parody on the original film makes no sense and at its worst it
consumes way too much screen time with the least funny moments of the
film. Drawback: most of the original cast is back in this film for
cameo appearances that are simply boring and uninspired. The end result
is a dull film, overall, even though the CGI/visual effects have been
improved.

DA FLASH
Kind of boring, as I'm not rooting for anybody to save Iris, and
actively rooting for her to die like she's supposed to after last night.
Hopefully Wally is Savitar and we'll be rid of him too, which means
Jesse will go home and we'll be back to one single speedster next year.

LEGENDS OF TOMORROW
Very boring as the Legends spend a stupid episode trying to save Rip
(the outcome of which will disappoint Ian) while the bad guys would seem
to have an insurmountable head start. The big stupid this week is that
the Atom goes off into dinosaur territory dressed like a safari guide
from Banana Republic - why the Hell wouldn't you take your Atom suit!?!?
And then in the dream, stupid Canary actually *beats up* on the guy in
the Atom suit, without breaking an appendage!
I looked up Gideon to see if the hot live Gideon (ripped off intact from
Doctor Who and the heart of the T.A.R.D.I.S.) was the same actress that
does the voice every week, and indeed it was. That led me to note that
DOOMSDAY, a movie The Amazon has been recommending, costars her, so I
added it to my list, but when I went to watch it, the damn thing cost
money (something they didn't tell me when they suggested it or I added
it). I'm really really really close to dumping my Amazon Instant list
entirely before it ends up costing me a fortune when I'm half asleep and
click the wrong button ...

From 1990, The CBS Special (World Premier) Movie The Love Boat A
Valentine Voyage. Madre de Dios this was awful. Only the Captain (now
a recluse, and how does that work again?), Isaac (promoted from Head
Bartender to Chief Purser, the job he always wanted, and how does that
work again?), and Doc still crew a different ship in the fleet (Gavin
McCloud does ads for The Love Boats during the show) and Vicky, now a
travel agent who never gets to travel (except this is her second trip to
Barbados in a year) shows up as a guest star. The rest of the cast is
"an all-star passenger list from your favorite CBS shows - Murphy Brown,
Newhart, Major Dad, and Knot's Landing"!! which works out to be (in
Alphabetical order):
Steve Bond (who?)
Tom Bosley (from what CBS show again?)
Julia Duffy (from Newhart, and 12 months pregnant, and, yes, they
actually said that)
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper (as the moron)
Shanna Reed (from Major Dad, as the babe, and, hey, I went to High
School with her!)
Joe Regalbuto (from Murphy Brown, wearing Candice's wardrobe)
Ted Shackelford (Knot's Landing, failing to be a convincing villain)
John Terlesky (who!?!?!?)
Kim Johnston Ulrich (from my Mom's soap, and looking very rowr)

So in the first stupid story, Shackelford, Regalbuto, Piper, and Reed
have armed robbery'd $25 million in jewels. They have to smuggle them
ON to the boat, because customs checks everything when you board in the
USA, not when you get off in Barbados, because, what? Because they have
a description of Regalbuto, he has to board in drag and be sure to be
seen lots on deck instead of just, you know, staying in his cabin. Reed
runs the gift shop, and they chase around after the diamonds which were
hidden in chocolates snatched up by Fat Jack Stubing. Regalbuto and
Reed fall in love, while Bosley, apparently playing a cop returning from
an actual episode, who's been framed and run off the force by a
supervisor that hates him, works to catch them to redeem himself. In
the end he steals the jewels himself and divvies them up between what he
considers deserving crew and passengers, and they let Reed go because
her motive for committing armed robbery was that she 'needed the money'
- WTF? Reed and Regalbuto get millions in stolen diamonds too.

In the second stupid story, Duffy is 12 months pregnant and married to
the ship's pastry chef and has some false alarms and finally has the
baby on Valentine's Day and they call it Valentine and get millions in
stolen jewels from Bosley because, reasons.

In the third stupid story, Johnston Ulrich, the cruise director, has the
hots for Bond (I think) but instead is pursued by moron Terlesky (I
think) who she knew in college but the script screws up halfway through
and it turns out somebody *else* knew him in college. She spends the
episode trying to get the first guy to give her the sweet salty sea air
smoochies, and when he finally tries, she gets mad at him for trying,
and ends up in the arms of the moron, who's been hitting on her the
whole episode, because ... I have *no* idea. One of the guys may have
gotten arrested as a jewel thief too, but I'm really not sure, and if it
was, I'm not sure which one it was. Oh and there's a bachelor auction
for good measure.

In the final stupid story, Stubing is unhappy on Valentine's because
it's his wedding anniversary, and, in the feel good twist of the season,
Mrs. Cunningham is dead dead dead, having died horribly and alone, in
great protracted suffering. That bitch Vicky is trying to force the
Captain to get in touch with his feelings. The Captain tells Vicky the
story of the origin of Valentine's Day, which she never heard before,
and still hasn't since he gets it wrong. This culminates in a return to
their honeymoon hotel, where that nasty bitch Vicky has told the staff
to make the room up just like it was 5 years ago to make her father even
sadder ... but wait! There's a rose on a table by the pool! No one
could possibly have put that there but ... Mrs. Cunningham's ghost!!
Wait! What??? Knowing that his nasty wife is truly dead, Stubing is
made happy by the efforts of his nasty bitch daughter to make him sad.
They must have really hated Marion Ross. they don't even use stock
footage or a still photo of her.

Why would it disappoint me?! - Rip is back, and in charge! (Now all
they need to do is get rid of the two new additions for this season,
and we might be getting somewhere...)

Yeah! I'm all, like - why the Hell aren't we seeing this babe *every
week*?!?!! :o

They seriously need to figure out a way to make Gideon "human" (maybe
find the ancestor the AI is based on?...), and put her on the show full
time!

Don't forget the peripheral story of someone trying woo Vance away from
NCIS and into politics or lobbying, I wasn't paying enough attention.
Oddly, it seemed to intersect with the main story, and of course he
turned her down, I think in disgust, at the end.

No, I'd never even heard of this before. I found a copy online with the

I watched my first episode of "This Is Us", and I'm curious about
something. Was the young woman who said she was mad at William,
because he had died before she knew she cared about him [or something
like that] ... his daughter-in-law, or his daughter?

On Tue March 7 I watched:

GREECE WITH SIMON REEVE: 1x2
I did watch 1x1 but forgot to mention it previously.
I did visit Greece quite a while back with my wife,
making friends with an English couple.
It wasn't a cruise.
So this show had a lot of interest for me.

BLACK SAILS: 4x4
No nudity this season so far,
but there is violence.

LETHAL WEAPON: Spilt Milk
This show is better than I expected & has some humour,
usually generated by Riggs.

BULL: The Necklace
Dinozzo is often bespectled,
& is more boring.
I did not realize it was based on TV's Dr. Phill.

My money is on Eddie and has been since even before I heard that the

Eddie's got a different arc going on LEGENDSOT and the stuff Savitar has
been saying wouldn't really apply to him.

I didn't even know that he was on LEGENDS at all! And the "You made me"
(or words to that effect) line was the one that sold me on the idea. But
I admit that I'm not following things very closely.

Eddie's the big bad behind the big bads this season on Legends, and his
henchmen are Malcolm the Douchebag in Real Life Merlyn and Dickie Darko
or whoever from The Awful Arrow. Eddie's stuck in some temporal hiding
he can only leave for a short time without the speed demons coming after
him or something, and they're searching for the Spear of Destiny to
rewrite reality to make it shiny for him again. Having him be Savitar
too would be a bit much. "You made me" applies even better to Wally.

I need to recant on that after seeing the worst FLASH ep yet. I was
thinking Eddie and Eobard were manifestations of the same character,
like Kang and, well, almost everybody, but I guess you're talking about
the cop that killed himself to keep his ancestor Eobard from being born
(seriously, a vasectomy wouldn't have done the trick?) and I guess
they're different actors and characters (never the Thain shall meet, har
har) which puts Eddie back in the mix - I was thinking you meant Eobard
because the guy in the speed force has to be a speedster, which should
take Eddie out of the mix again, but maybe put in one of the many fake
Jay Garricks?

I still think that Eddie's return is more than just a one-shot

I'd think that I wouldn't think that a guy wears armour because he
doesn't need it. But I also might not have assumed that that was armour
with a regular albeit glowing guy inside in the first place.

It's like saying that no part of Danny Rand's story checks out, so he
must be the real deal.

Don't undersell the comfort factor of a nice layer of armor. Plus, it
can come in handy if you take public transportation on a regular basis.

This is likely to be the best job opportunity he ever gets. I'm usually
a stop-and-smell-the-roses kind of person, but even I can understand why
he may have to seize this one.

Now there's someone who could stand to downshift the stress in his life.

So was the episode above your first? Ep. 1.17, 3/7/17, "What Now?"
That was William's daughter-in-law, Beth.

It's worth it to watch from the beginning, though.

The violence level was ratcheted up by the governor. The keel-hauling
of Teach was one of the most gruesome things I've ever seen in a work of

A job opportunity that will likely cost him (again) the love of his life.

THIS IS US started out really strong. The last few episodes of the
season were a bit disappointing, though, as the show dwelled on
heartstring pulling and revisiting the past instead of further
developing the present part of the timeline.

Also, if you are looking for something good: HOTEL BEAU SEJOUR on Netflix.
