57 Channels and Only This Is On: March 9, 2025

 

The White Lotus:  Oh no did Boyd Crowder not remember wait happened to the snake preacher on Justified?  I guess that was some very strong weed.  But otherwise this was a fairly slow episode.  Hopefully things start to pick up on the yacht.  Unfortunately the blonde blog does not seem to be on it but still plenty of mischief for the douchebag to get in to.

 

Mayfair Witches:  I scoffed at the trigger warning about violence, but I guess I kind of needed one for children drinking demon blood.  But is Lasher dead-dead, or can Rowen give birth to him again?

 

Grosse Point Garden Society:  So Birdie is so in deep with the cop he is willing to cover up a body?  Well, that relationship escalates quickly.  But my new suspect as to who killed the dog is Alice’s husband.

 

Paradise:  So last week, no moody cover of a cheesy 80's song to close out the episode and this week, they just recycled Another Day in Paradise. Meh. Let's be honest, the moody covers of cheesy 80's songs and the assassin who is weirdly obsessed with the Wii are the best (only good?) parts of the show.

 

Then nothing spoils a mystery quite like starting an episode with a bunch people we have never met (or at least thought we never met). Of course one of them turned out to be the killer.

 

Daredevil: Born Again: The really felt like an uncanny valley version of the Netflix show.  Sure, it kind of looks and feels like the old show, but something felt a little off.  And it may get worse with Foggy dead (though it seem like a lot of people think that is a misdirect; I guess he would not be the first comic book character to be resurrected) and Karen in San Francisco.  And I had to ask myself while watching these episode, just how old does Vincent D’Onofrio have to get before he is no longer physically imposing in the way Kingpin is supposed to be.  I feel like we are getting really close.

 

The Challenge All Stars: Rivals:  Finally, Steve and Adam win; time to shake things up.  Sigh, but unfortunately they did not make any big moves and just threw in one of the weaker teams.   Though the switching up how vacant stars were interesting.  But I guess if they cannot be gifted a star, there is almost no chance Katie and Veronica are going to TJ’s final.

 

Survivor:  Sigh, we almost had two of the most annoying people go home the first two weeks.  We almost had one of the funnier moments in Survivor history.  If only that one guy had destroyed the Beware Advantage the other one suggested, that would have been great.  I really hope she does not end up getting it and then getting her wish of getting rid of the autistic hockey player.  She is one of the few interesting players this season.

 

School Spirits:  Um… so is Simon dead?  Is someone else in his body?  It would be funny if football player stole it so he could be with Maddie.  But it was completely absurd that Maddie risked her body to help a bunch of people who were already dead.

 

Ghosts:  Two new dead bodies in two years, at what point does that hurt Jay’s business.  But of all the people who could have died, the Australian stripper is kind of annoying.  Hopefully he gets sucked off soon… or just disappears and is forgotten like Pete’s wife usually is.  Though I have to admit, a It’s Raining Men stunt going horribly wrong is pretty funny.
