‘The Musketeers’ 1x06 promo
Louis XIII’s awful mother shows up. Maybe this will be good.
‘A New York Winter’s Tale’ promo
No, just no.
‘Heroes’ is being brought back as a mini-series in 2015? Oh hell no.
Saw a documentary on the James Hunt/Niki Lauda F1 1970s rivalry, now I want to see ‘Rush’.
I’ve given up on ‘Modern Family’.
I am reading ‘The Mammoth Book of the Lost Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes’.
‘My Family’ Quote:
“You’re a horrible, horrible man and a terrible father.”
‘Eastenders’ Quote:
“Maybe is a really big word.”
‘Modern Family’ Quotes:
“I can’t be in a house with snakes!”
“Hayley’s doing something for money in the basement.”
On ‘Hollyoaks’: Jason is a twit, John-Paul’s ugly secret has eaten him alive and now he faces jail for beating up Robbie. Diane suspects Sinead may be faking Katy’s illness. Lindsey is glared at by Freddie. Finn gloats to Robbie about what he did to John-Paul. Robbie lies in hospital attention seeking; he’s what went wrong with the Roscoe family. Finn is so so wrong as he says that if Robbie tells on him, he’ll rape Robbie too. There is the mark of the devil on Finn and Sinead. Diane is the dumb one not to notice her stepchildren are monsters. John-Paul has been pushed to the limit and seems to be catatonic; he should have gone murdery on Robbie. Darren moves on with Leela. Sam is the only cop in Chester. Danny is creepy. Lindsey tries to justify herself to Freddie. Where is Trevor? Dennis forgets the dead Leanne to hang out with Blessing. Sam gets the wrong idea about the bed blocking Robbie. John-Paul remembers he has a son. Where is Craig?
Best Lines:
“John-Paul went mental in school.”
“McQueen went psycho and started throwing punches.”
“I’d like to make a complaint actually.”

Cleared out a tape from 2005. It began with a ‘Stargate Atlantis’ ep ‘Conversion’ in which Sheppard begins to physically transform into a Wraith. This was sadly dull.
Best Line:
“That’s dead man talk.”
Then came a season 1 ‘Prison Break’ ep ‘Cute Poison’ in which Michael and Linc are intelligent, traits they‘d lost by season 4. Veronica annoys. Michael had two toes cut off in a previous episode, something that would be forgotten by season 4. Also his voice sounds wildly different than it did by season 4. Linc urges Veronica to contact Project Justice. Bellick is a jerkass. Michael brews a chemical compound to melt pipes or something. Haywire guesses what Michael’s tattoo is all about so Michael manipulates and sets up Haywire. Nick the cute and doomed Project Justice lawyer debuts. Michael gets all Shawshank behind the toilet in his cell in Fox River. This was a showcase of the show’s lost potential.
Best Line:
“I believe that’s what it says on your mission statement in the lobby.”
Then came a ‘CSI: Miami’ ep ‘Slow Burn’ in which Caine is the angry old man crime solver. A sleazy abuser (Joe Flanigan) starts fires and abuses his girlfriend. His violent psychosis does not put off his girlfriend, Caine looks sad at the certain kind of crazy of display. So dull.
Best Lines:
“You chased her into the glades didn’t you?”
“Yeah. But not very far.”
Then came a ‘Battlestar Galactica’ ep ‘Final Cut’ in which a really annoying reporter does radical-chic exposes of the military. The whining ungrateful civilians ignore those who saved their lives and the ‘reporters’ should get a real job. Tigh and his wife bore. Adama wants the reporter Diana (Lucy Lawless) to make an empirical record of the military. Starbuck annoys, Lee annoys, Kat is a stim addict, Baltar twitches and there is lots of screaming and yelling. Adama is unbaitable, the stupid cylon baby attracts attention and this was filler. Diana of Fleet News Service is a cylon, well duh. This was as awful as Shakira’s take on ‘Love is a Battlefield’.
Best Lines:
“More fallout from Tigh’s moment of glory.”
“I hardly recognised you with your clothes on.”
“We lost two raiders relaying the images back to the fleet.”
