57 Channels and Only This Is On: September 14, 2025

 

Task:  Some wild characters in this one.  The girl from CODA is a hillbilly with a mullet.  The girl from Conversations with Friends has no filter and a bad hair dye, Ward Meecham grew his hair out.  Who would have guess that Sir Criton Cole would end up being the most well-adjusted character?  But you really need some interesting character if you are going to stretch for seven episodes when it bis pretty obvious how it is going to end.

 

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon:  Always disappointing when the title of an episode spoils what is going to happen.  Considering Costa da Morte is in Spain, it was pretty obvious that were not going no make it back to America.  And they killed of Stephan Merchant way too early.  These Walking Dead shows could really use some comedic relief.

 

Only Murders in the Building:  So, the police ruled Lester’s death an accident.  What if they are right?  This could a fake out like the season two finale murder that turned out not to be a murder.  We did get another death that could satisfy the title of the podcast.  In the limited flashbacks, we saw Lester running from something and then hit his head on the fountain.  Granted it is had to explain why exactly Lester went into the fountain.

 

As for the other death, the autopsy scene was hilarious.  I wonder if the crooked cops tie back to season one where Tim Kono’s toxicology report was conveniently not done.  Speaking of Tim Kono, it was nice seeing him again and other dearly departed residents (it was also nice seeing the therapist after taking two seasons off).  I wonder if we will get more flashbacks and if Tye-Dye Guy and/or Zoe will return for them.  Of yeah, and we finally got a Three Amigos reunion in the flashbacks, just not the one I was expecting.

 

Then we leave on the cliffhanger where it looks like Logan Lerhman’s character might be missing a finger.  We know Nicky “the Neck” has all his fingers, and Charles thinks he felt 11 fingers on Lester (I cannot imagine what fingers 10 and 11 were if Lester was missing a finger; I do not even want to think about the 11th finger is if he was not missing any).  Just how does a billionaire’s finger end up in wedding shrimp?  We all know what the mob does when you do not pay your debts, but is a millionaire going to have a hard time paying debts? 

 

Oh, and I hope we get more of the brothers this season.

 

Alien: Earth:  Sigh, more extremely dumb character actions done basically just to move the plot forward.  I get these are ten-year-olds and inherently stupid, but c’mon, why is that dude going all the way into the zoo?  Crack the door open and slide in the tray and close it as fast as possible.  But no excuse for the actual adult trying to rescue the robot by himself.  He is leaking milk; the damage is done.  Call a cleanup crew, do not try and do it yourself.  But if the eyeball monster is so smart and keeps getting these humans and robots killed by his fellow aliens, how did it, or any of these other aliens get caught by these incompetent morons?

 

The Challenge: Vets and New Threats:  Meh, if you are going to do go-karts, at include Mario Kart type obstacles instead of puzzles.  But now that the rookies have devoured one of their own, I do wonder if there will be further cracks.  That seems to happen a lot on shows like this.

 

Peacemaker:  This just felt like filler since we know ARGUS is going to get into the dimensional pocket thing.  We also know Peacemaker is going to survive the ambush next week.
