The White Lotus:
I predicted the "rich" gays (I feel like I get half credit),
but I was not expecting it to go down like that. So did Ethan and Daphne hook up? I was
expecting him to confess since he never lies but in never came, so maybe not. My prediction for season three is that either
Craig or Portia (if Craig is is in prison) will be taking Tonya’s ashes to her
favorite White Lotus in Southeast Asia to spread them like Tonya did her mother
in the first season.
Let the Right One In:
From the start, I wondered how do you do a show about a young vampire
who does not age for multiple seasons when the actress is definitely going to
noticeably age every year. Well, you take
away her immortality. So what now? Are vampire Naomi and Isiah going to go on
the run with Mark and Eleonore? Is she
going to star in New York, get a job on the graveyard shift and work with Claire
on a cure? What does she tell her partner
who knows a killer’s print was found in her trash? I may actually be more interested in a second
season that I have about the first.
His Dark Materials: How exactly does the greatest blacksmith in all
the land not have opposable thumbs? Kind
of seems important to the profession.
But it did lead to a pretty unintentionally funny montage. But when Lyra comes back to the land of the
living, will she be able to join back up with her Deamon? That trip just seems a little too risky. I do wonder just who will she bring back with
her because there will be a few familiar faces across the river.
Leverage:
Redemption: Why was
the Christmas episode this week and not the one just days before the holiday?
Survivor: This is the problem with the Big Movez era of
Survivor; the moment you make a game winning move, like Jesse taking out Cody,
everyone else sees this and they will do everything they can do to get you out
before Final 3. But Jesse and Karla seems like they were from the Bitter Jury
era because it really looked like she lived up to her promise to taint the jury
against Cassidy after she voted her out. And Jesse wanted all the credit for
taking out his closest ally but did not respect Kassidy for taking out hers and
then executed the best plan at taking Jesse out. So if you are going to make a Big Move on
Survivor these days, you better be able to make fire.
The
Challenge: Ride or Dies: I complain
that they let the peanut gallery help people during the eliminations, but it was
really absurd that it was positioned that everyone could see into Kacey’s
brother’s end to help him. This really
needs to stop. And just as I finished
cheering that Kacey’s boring brother was finally gone, TJ has the latest dumb
twist and he is still around until Kacey is out. So with the Ride or Dies be able to run TJ’s
final together as long as one makes to the end?
Doom
Patrol: The emotional vampire
is really infringing on What We Do in the Shadows’ energy empire’s domain.
