Enjoying refreshing TaB's, while indulging in some really good and really bad television.

HIMYM, Mom, Hostages and then we take on some Almost Human. And by we I mean me.

Back at the bed and breakfast for HIMYM this week, bad. John Lithgow on HIMYM this week, good. It's a toss-up. Pineapple! I thought the moments between Loretta and Marshall were a nice distraction from revisiting the same place, and I can't say I didn't feel bad for William. I always did like him in The Karate Kid Part whatever.

In Hostages I'm sorry for "shipping" in a show that I probably shouldn't but I'm feelin' guy from Entourage (Kramer, I think) and girl who looks like Nikita but is apparently from House of Cards. They make the boring parts of this show not boring. It's a Dexter thing with me starting to like these bad people taking this family captive, but I don't care, I feel for them and I will continue to feel for them because I just have a lot of feelings. And what about that surprise twist ending? Looks like hostage dude took his date with the President's daughter way too seriously.

Mom. I still want the lady that isn't Janney and Octavia Spencer to be played by Catherine O'Hara and I'm still a little upset that she isn't. It was also rather touching this week. I mean typically you're laughing at Janney and rolling your eyes at Faris but I have to give Janney credit this week for turning it a bit and giving me some tears. Honestly, she had me going. Still hate Faris' white hair.

So tonight finished the two part premiere of Almost Human. Full disclosure, I didn't love the pilot, however I did enjoy the second part and I feel like I'll be giving it a shot. I like the coma guy and feel bad he missed out on several months and also missed out on a leg. Intrigued to see what's up with his girlfriend. I also like the idea of having an android for a partner. Like a Data (Star Trek) or a Kevin (Saved By The Bell, and can we talk about how Kevin is more emotionally advanced than Data was? Seriously, a nerdy high schooler built that, how is that even a thing?). All in all I'd say I think it's got potential for me to like it so we'll give it a shot. I think the Android and the cop man have decent chemistry that could become good chemistry and then so on and so forth. Yeehaw.
