  • What Did You Watch? 2025-03-18 (Tuesday)

    From Ian J. Ball@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 19 05:44:50 2025
    Yesterday is my "short day", but I still didn't watch much - just soaps
    - and either did work or played a video game aside from that:

    soaps: DOOL - Thur's ep. They shifted gears to mostly stuff that wasn't interesting. NuTheresa (who's back, at least for now) harangues Tate
    about getting Sophia pregnant; then Sophia's mom (sans NuSophia) shows
    up and gets all judgy with ex-con Theresa! Later, Paulina tries to work
    things out with Sophia's mom, but the latter is adamant about EJ being
    an adoption deal-breaker. Belle swears up and down to Marlena that she's
    going to go after EJ in her role as DA; but later EJ shows up on her
    doorstep, and I'm pretty sure Belle is just going to boff him again!
    GH - Thur's and Fri's ep's. Willow and Sasha continue tearing into
    each other, and I think Willow got the last word (it's tough to make
    Willow sympathetic, but Sasha is such a shrew that she manages to!!).
    Charlotte is brought home and reunited with Lulu, so I guess she's
    sticking around for a while (makes you wonder what the young Charlotte
    actress had going on that she was off the show for months and
    months...). Carly, after having made a rare good decision for once,
    throws all of that away and surprise bangs! NuJack Brennan! But, at the
    end, Valentin is lurking around, so I'm wondering if he's going to try
    to kill Brennan again, with Carly in the crossfire... Brook Lynn isn't
    nearly mad enough at her old EVOL! grandma about the adoption lie(s!)
    nonsense. Ric Lansing interrupts Lizzie and Lucky about to "do it" (P.S.
    I hate them as a couple!). Also, Ric tells Portia that, legally, she is *screwed*, and needs to roll over for Drew - as Drew has backed Portia
    into a corner, Drew leverages her to get favorable press coverage for
    himself (including from Curtis). On her B-Day, Trina is accidentally
    given a gift that triggers her grief over dead Spencer. (It irks me that
    no one remembers dead Esme - and I notice that Avery Pohl has done
    nothing since leaving GH... I wonder if Pohl is done with acting, at
    least for a while.)

    And that was it.

    What did you watch?

    I didn't watch much.


    The Righteous Gemstones (HBO) - "You Hurled Me Into the Very Heart of
    the Seas" - Season 2, episode 2. The action returns to present with a
    bunch of stuff that I wasn't giving my full attention.


    Ghosts - "Thorapy 2: Abandonment Issues" - Season 4, episode 11 from
    last month. I have a large backlog of episodes. This was a ridiculous
    episode with Sam seeing a therapist so she can say the ghosts' issues
    are her issues and get advice for them.

    I watched the first couple of episodes of THE HUNTING PARTY. In this
    there is a super secret underground prison where super secret
    experiments are being run on the prisoners (all super dangerous
    types.) Then something happens and there is big explosion that allows
    many of the super secret (supposedly already dead) prisoners to
    escape.

    So a former FBI profiler is called back in to help re-capture the
    escapees before they kill or are discovered to still be alive. This
    really feels like a rehash of the ideas behind the series ALCATRAZ. In
    that one a bunch of inmates from Alcatraz disappear in the 60s and
    reappear in modern day times and need to be re-captured before they
    kill again. In that one there was some sort of conspiracy where
    experiments were done on the inmates that apparently helped them to
    time jump. In THE HUNTING PARTY aside from the super secret prison
    holding super secret prisoners that are supposedly already dead (to
    the outside world) there appears to be a conspiracy that created the
    explosion that allowed the prisoners to escape. Again, a similar idea
    behind both shows.
