Nov. 21st, 2011 01:04 pmSo I'm almost caught up with last week's TV. I just have last week's and this week's Misfits currently, thought tonight adds Gossip Girl, HIMYM, House, Hart of Dixie, Hawaii Five-O, and Castle, I watch Gossip Girl, House, and Hawaii Five-0 live, followed by the recording of HIMYM, but since I'm off tomorrow, I should be able to get Hart of Dixie and Castle before I head up to NYC, and I'll catch up on Misfits up at the Parentals at some point.
Oh, and apparently there's an extended cut of Sucker Punch, which I just got, I'll catch that on the plane ride down.
TV commentary:
Psych- Is it me, or was last week's ep kinda offensive? I mean, first there was Gus (Suggs, Ha!) hitting on the hot mental patient (played by the always boobie-licious Julianna Guill), which was kinda amusing that the SVU ep airing at the same time as that episode also involved mental hospitals and going by that, if Gus did sleep with her, it would totally be rape because mental patients can't give consent, regardless of how high-functioning they may seem.
But secondly, the end, where they thwart the killer because the one institutionalized guy developed a "saxophone phobia", so they started playing Kenny G's "Songbird" on the stereo to make him go nuts and distract the guy with the gun. After that was finished and the guy was clearly in mental distress, Gus told Shawn not to stop the song because he like that part of the song? Wow, first trying to bang mentals, than torturing another just because he wanted to hear a smooth groove? WTF?!
Walking Dead- I guess what frustrates me most about reading boards about Walking Dead, is that it seems the majority of TV-only watchers don't seem to like a lot of the characters who end up surviving the longest in the comics or the developments occurring. I'd like to see the show succeed, and I know where the story goes, and I can definitely see the framework being built, but if other viewers don't like where things are headed, wouldn't viewership go down as they get dissatisfied at things as they develop? Because while the show has deviated a bit from the comics, there are still things they've kept.
