Timeless- Series finale! ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Man, the recent renewal/cancellation news has been crazy. I was pretty annoyed they canceled Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the Mick and the Last Man on Earth. Thank goodness, NBC saved B99, but I'm annoyed the Mick and Last Man on Earth ended on huge cliffhangers. I'm also disappointed they canceled Great News, and definitely angry they canceled the Expanse.

I'm hoping someone will pick it up, but Netflix just renewed Lost in Space (which is a good thing!), and have some other sci-fi shows they're starting up, so there might not be room for the Expanse on their platform. And I think I heard Amazon just dropped a bunch of money on an Expanse-ish show, so its doubtful they'll pick it up. I'm just more annoyed at the crappy deal Syfy made when they got this show, because honestly, it does make a whole lot of sense to drop the show. But you'd think they could renegotiate their contract or something.

I'm surprised Elementary was renewed given how far back CBS pushed it. (It freaking started in May!) Its hilarious they renewed Lethal Weapon given the mess with Rigg, but apparently they're replacing him with Stifler who's playing a new character. Gotham was supposedly not going to be renewed if Lethal Weapon was, but apparently it did for one last season.

Killing Eve- I suspected something like that was going to happen. ( spoiler cut )

Westworld- Ah, as people suspected. ( spoiler cut )

Into the Badlands- Well, that was easy. ( spoiler cut )

Timeless- Whoops! ( spoiler cut )

So playing ME3 yesterday, I've decided, yeah, switching out the high velocity barrel for the thermal scope vs Cerberus to avoid the frustration of smoke grenades is pointless. I tried it for the Javik mission, and while the scope helped a little, it was also one big tease where I could see enemies behind boxes and walls and not be able to take them out because I don't have enough penetration. Meanwhile, the HV barrel is a huge boon- on Grissom Academy, I somehow two-shot an Atlas, while on Sur'Kesh, I was able to 1 shot 2 guardians and a centurion with full shields standing in a row. That's worth way more than "seeing through" smoke. I mean, all smoke means is my squad will take out guys before I do.

Which given the black widow X with the HV barrel's cool down is only +96%, I haven't been carrying anything else so as to not lower that even more. Of course, weight actually isn't too big a deal for infiltrators, as long as you remember to cloak before doing things- since if you use a power during cloak, your cool down is based on tactical cloak's, not the power you used. And since cloak's cool down is lessened if you break cloak early, relative to how long you were cloaked, cloaking and then firing off a power resets your cooldowns pretty quick.

But I digress, my point is, carrying only the black widow, I only have 30+3 shots, so I can't be wasteful. And I'm finding because my gun does so much damage, I'm hesitant to waste the bullet to finish off a trooper who's like at a quarter health. That's what Garrus and/or Javik's particle beams and/or Vega's incendiary rounds from the typhoon are for!

TV commentary:

Supergirl- As I said before, weird! ( spoiler cut )

Timeless- Ah, so far this show seems to be about eliminating famous phrases from history! ( spoiler cut )
