      Hometown visits for The Bachelorette were a let down until we got to the Sikh of Aspen, which freaked out Rachel so much she immediately killed that one. He was quite obviously gay (as are a third of the bachelors in every season) in any case.

      I'm going to miss Rachel for being the only featured contestant in the show's history with even half a brain, but this season has been forgettable. I'm not sure the franchise has much of a future. There are only so many times we can go down this road.

          You're overestimating that number.

              Trick answer, there was only 1 season of 24 they just did it 7 or 8 times.

                My latest reality TV trash I'm guilty of watching: Live PD on A&E.

                It's COPS, but live (mostly). They follow a half dozen police departments around on Friday and Saturday nights and show people being pulled over, DUI enforcement, complaints, burgarlies, whatever happens where their department gets a call, if the TV crew is riding along, they show it live.

                The TV crews are using cell service to upload the streaming video right from the field to A&E's broadcast headquarters.

                  It's hard to overstate the joy the cops on Live PD express when they pull someone over who is "driving dirty." Stolen car, with both drugs and weapons in possession.
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                    Got wind of this in work today. Looks like it might be pretty good.

                      A friend of mine had told me about this, so I watched the first episode last night. Excellent show, at least for one episode. Ten episodes total in Season One. Probably going to binge them this weekend unless they fall far, far short of that first episode. Very intense, in spots, but with some dark humor, too.

                        Watched three additional episodes of Ozark. Still enjoying it very much. A lot more dark humor in it than I expected based off of Episode 1.

                          American Gods ep 2 was great. It has enough violence that it should stick but I'm worried that it may fall into the "shows that failed because they were directed at smart people" abyss. Gaiman wasn't writing for the proles.

                            I had time to kill on my flight so I watched the pilot of Lethal Weapon...and I never thought I would say this but it was alright. I mean it wasnt revolutionary or anything but it did the movie justice imho.

                              Finished The Fall on Netflix. I see why people don't like the ending but I'd contend it was the most logical ending to what they had constructed. Anything else would have cheapened the experience.

                                I just thought they could have made a more satisfying ending by ending it after 2 seasons, and forgetting the garbage half season they had for season 3. Just a few tweaks at the end of season 2 and they could have ended logically, and made it work with the story.
                                Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.
