57 Channels and Only This Is On: August 4, 2024

 

House of the Dragon:  I complained about the lack of deaths at the end of the last couple episodes.  Well, we got more than a few this week.  But of course the two silver heads we have been randomly checking in on all season ended up being the two that claimed the dragons.

 

Snowpiercer:  A peacekeeping unit authorized to use force.  How ironic.  Disappointing no one pointed that out to them.   But I feel we need a lot more background on them and why they are stealing children.

 

Orphan Black: Echoes:  Nice casual mention that we go to Mars in forty years.  But shouldn’t we colonize the moon first?  I honestly forgot what else happened this week.

 

The Ark:  So they are just going to end every episode this season with a wild cliffhanger?  Last week it was the sentient lightning, and this week the Irish dude just disappears.  Though the promo monkeys spoiled it is a multiverse situation.  I guess this is how they bring back the generic hot blonde.   I wonder if this is how they introduce the one dude’s daughter that may or may not have been killed.  Considering how Trust brings up his dead wife at every chance, they will probably bring her back too.

 

2024 Olympic Games:  It seems like every Olympics I find a new weird sport to get transfixed by.  This time around it was Slalom: Kayak Cross.  There are three to four kayaks on the course at the same time, they drop them all from a one story building, and there is a point in the course where they were required to capsize their kayak and go underwater.  This is going on my must watch list for future Games.
