TV Roundup
New Amsterdam was watchable. Certainly not the worst show to come down the pike, but it feels a bit tentative as of yet. (I don't think any of these comments are particularly spoilery so I'm not cutting them.) I'm not sure what narrative purpose the partner serves, since she's not there for UST, and didn't seem to have a lot to do in the ep, but I'll definitely give it time to settle in. Also, they need someone who's better at applying fake facial hair. To my dismay, about 2/3rds of the way through the ep, I realized that Nicolaj Coster-Waldau (I love that name!) looks like a more Hollywood version of a friend of mine's husband so it's a little weird to find him attractive, but I do. ;D
ReGenesis has started it's last season :( and I spent the first episode of it alternating between happiness over all because it's just so darn good, and happiness that Bob was apparently okay, and then trepidation that Bob is maybe NOT okay, and then fear for Carlos! Aaaaigh! ::shakes ReGenesis writers:: How do you keep doing this to me??
And then there was Jericho. Okay, I'll admit it. I was genuinely shocked by last night's ending. I'm so used to them leading us down the garden path in the trailers that I really didn't think anything about their spoilery warning in the commercials. But... but... BONNIE! I can't believe it! At least she acquitted herself well. I was hoping that she'd somehow managed to take out Goetz but the preview for next week showed otherwise, damn it. At least Major Beck seems to be turning out to be a good guy. ::fingers crossed:: (though the IMDB entry for his character is making me curious. He has two names. Major Beck/Col. Hoffman. Which could be an error or could be an indication that there's more going on than meets the eye.)
