    Yesterday, just soaps:

    soaps: DOOL - Kristen's crazy mommy attacks Ava with a knife - I'm
    guessing they are going to write her out by sending her off to the funny
    farm. Melinda Trask (she's back!!) pretty much refuses to negotiate on
    giving the necklace back to Doug III - I think Holly The Brat then
    basically suggests that they steal it back. Jada catches Rafe up on the
    fact that EJ was almost certainly keeping him prisoner for months! -
    Rafe responds by rushing over to the mansion to strangle EJ! (hopefully
    to death!!).
    GH - Brook Lynn finally convinces NuNuLulu not to tell Dante about
    having a baby with Brook Lynn 2 decades ago - but at the end, Lulu runs
    right into Dante, so we'll see if she can manage to keep her mouth shut!
    It's revealed that Valentin is the one who sent the text message,
    because he wants Charlotte to go home to Port Charles - Anna and Jason
    show up, and stop a WSB "kill team" (strangely, they claimed they
    weren't working under Jack Brennan's orders!), allowing Jason to claim Charlotte and allowing Valentin to escape once again. Tracy and Drew
    battle over condemning(?) the Quartermaine crypt - Anna's granddaughter
    Emma needless inserts herself in this conflict (she is quickly becoming
    this show's most annoying character, which is really saying something!).
    Y&R - In captivity, Filis[sic!] is poisoned (this really is pointing
    in the direction of Ian Ward...), and Sharon has to solve a riddle to
    find the antidote. Nick and Billy compare notes, and work the
    "kidnapped" theory, and bond together, but are uncomfortable that
    they've bonded! Audra warns Nate not to trust Damien, and wants to
    "work" Holden for information, which makes Nate uncomfortable.

    That was it - I had too much other stuff to do yesterday, and when I
    didn't I played video games.

    Speaking of video games, for anyone who still has a PS3 there is a new
    update available that's needed in order for the device to be able to
    keep playing blu-ray movies. I have a PS3, but I don't really use it
    anymore. It hasn't been turned on in years. But I fired it up so I
    could download the update. Now I'm tempted to turn it on again and play
    some games on it.

    What did you watch?




    I watched:

    The Righteous Gemstones (HBO) - "Prelude" - Season 4, episode 1. Danny
    McBride wrote and directed this prequel episode set during the Civil War
    and stars Bradley Cooper as a murderer, thief, and conman too. Cooper
    plays "Elijah Gemstone" who at the start of the episode murders a local
    priest (Josh McDermitt) then steals his identity after being mistaken
    for the priest and drafted into the confederate army as a chaplain.
    Since Cooper's character's real name was "Gemstone" I couldn't tell if
    the modern day characters were his descendants or descendants of the
    murdered man who he swapped names with. But my guess is they are
    Cooper's descendants and he went back to his real name at some point,
    but kept up using religion as a con.


    In The Lost Lands (theatrical) New post apocalyptic fantasy movie
    directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, based on a short story by George R.R.
    Martin. I'm going to cut to the chase, this movie was bad. Like
    really, really bad. The movie stars Milla Jovovich as a witch who is
    hired by the queen of the last remaining human city to travel into the
    Lost Lands and bring back a werewolf so the queen can get the werewolf's shapeshifting powers. Jovovich hires Dave Bautista to guide her into
    the Lost Lands but the two are being hunted by religious zealots because reasons. I'm watching this movie and thinking to myself there's only
    one city left on Earth and almost everyone lives there. They know for a
    fact that Jovivich is coming back. Why chase after her when they can
    just wait for her return? Because then there wouldn't be a movie I
    guess. Anyway, the only reason I made the trip to see this is because I
    had free tickets, and even then I can't say it was worth the trip to
    theater even to see it for free. Yeah, it was that bad!

    Only managed one of the last few episodes of DEADLY CLASS. A series
    from a few years ago that managed only one season, as is typical.

    Thanks! I’ll have to see if I can do that…

    Hey, thanks for asking!

    Episode three of DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN
    I continue to be completely unamazed.
    Spoilers:
    Nccneragyl sbttl snxvat uvf bja qrngu vf gnxra evtug sebz gur pbzvpf naq
    gurl gryrtencurq vg ol univat uvz qvr va sebag bs n fvta gung unf gur

    The newest episode of REACHER. Lots of mayhem.

    I finished watching ONLY MURDERS IN A SMALLVILLE TOWN and then let it run
    again to see if it made any more sense the second time.

    Last night was the first night in more than four months that I spent in the family room on the couch watching TV. Of course the COX DVR broke in the
    middle of the night. It will just show the one music channel it’s on. The reset button on the website doesn’t do anything but return a blank page. So I’ve unplugged it and plugged it back in a few times, but it never makes it all the way through the reboot process. So it looks like that 501 shows I
    had recorded is lost to me forever. Meanwhile, all the help I get from Cox tech-support is telling me I need to buy a new modem which has nothing to
    do with it.

    Before it died, I watched the most recent TRACKER, which was wildly
    uninspired, and he just magically figured out where the kidnapper was and killed him. The only refreshing thing about the show continues to be that
    he takes the money. The big stupid was screaming. The mother got kidnapped
    in the dark as she was putting her preschool kid to bed and somehow her mother-in-law I think found out she was missing the police to not help
    tracker and got him there and raised the money all in eight hours. This seems… Unlikely also what the hell time does this little kid go to bed,
    that eight hours later, it was broad daylight?

    I finished the several episodes of DEATH IN PARADISE, I had recorded from
    the incompetent clowns at PBS. They were all the same episode over and over except sometimes they only showed half of them because they’re so sloppy
    with their schedule.

    I watched S01E03 of Harry O “Guardian at the Gates“ with extra special guest stars Barry Sullivan and Linda Evans.

    That sucks. The trailer looked impressive.

    They've been discussing DareDevil on PCB. It sounds like there's more exposition than action.
