Not TV related but Richard I thought you'd find this pretty funny. Remember that article you found that said the hunger games was more anticipated than star wars? And then remember Star Wars broke the internet with presales? The plot thickens. Hunger Games opening weekend was the lowest of the 4 HG movies. I didn't even expect that! lol Granted...the book is the weakest of the 3 and they still split it into 2 movies. The 1st half was pretty damn boring! lol 100 million is nothing to sneeze at but it's 20 million under their estimates. I can't even predict what star wars will do in the opening weekend but I know it's gonna be big. I wouldn't be surprised if it grosses 100 million on the preview night alone (12/17)

There's been lots of TV spots now during all ABC's big shows. (AMAs last night had a clip from the movie) Everything is getting me psyched up...but I will keep my expectations grounded. lol

Grimm - Caught up

Jessica Jones - 1.5 episodes in. It's good! Definitely a more mature comic story and set in the same locale as Daredevil and the eventual Luke Cage show. (Luke Cage is in this show too)

Hunger Games--LOL, yea I saw that and said to myself, I bet Mike sees this too. I'm not a HG nor a Jennifer Lawrence fan. So, I only saw the first movie due to my daughter asking me to take her. I have NO doubt that SW will break records it's first week. Too much inertia, advertising, history ,etc behind it.

BBT--speaking of SW--it was worked into the last ep too. Where Penny read it in Leonard's journal. BTW, pretty cool with Elon Musk on the show. So, Amy wants to get back with Sheldon.

Grimm--yea, so Trubl is back. I'm still on board with Nick and Adalind and their boy could have some interesting characteristics. Will be strange when/if Adalind gets her wesen back.

BBT - haven't watched yet unfortunately. Wife and kids were away for the weekend so I'm behind on my Thursday shows! Of course I don't really care to get spoiled on it so I just read your comment anyway!

Grimm - Yeah...Nick and Adalind have evolved to "HUGGING" now. lol They're doing a good job easing into a possible romantic entanglement. I'm sure once they do make that move, she'll become a hexebeist again. lol And yep Trubel is back. She was let loose at the end of last episode I think. So, I guess we'll find out what happened between then and now.

GoT--at least we are pretty certain what's going on.

Gof T - Jon Snow on poster for new season so guess you were all right - he'll be back in some form or another.

Scandal - watched 2 eps as I had fallen behind. I had hoped we were done with her father and that rat secret service guy. Sigh.
And how does the prez know Olivia wanted her dad out if Mellie is the one who signed the papers ? Fitz so needs to dump her - she does not want to be married to the President - never did. But then she should not have said 'yes' weeks ago to the reporters about dating him. So what does Fitz do - he moves her in without even asking her. Yikes. You could see in the next ep just how miserable Liv is. What do I know - but she is technically not the First Lady - so who says she has to do all that stuff ? But David - you give the bracelet rejected by your lover to her boss ? Really ? Loved the whole filibuster thing with mellie though. Not even going to go into Shonda using her show to ge on a soap box and all the real-world politics of the abortion. Will say that it was a bold thing for the show to do though. Glad crazy Huck seems to be gone - but it seemed to come out of nowhere to me. Loved her fining Mellie's moonshine too.

Blacklist - Christine Lahti playing a bad guy ! Did not see that coming. I felt like banjos should be playing when we are with the Highway robbers. LOL . So now Liz is in custody - in Red's old cell no less.

Quantico - jeez - guess this is the week of women going to jail !

Grimm - and just how did Trubel know where this super secret home was ?

Mike V. said...

GofT - Sure looks that way. Still hoping the book comes out first. I was just googling rumors and apparently the manuscript has been delivered to several international publishers for translations. So that could mean it's on pace!

Scandal - Gotta wait until the Mrs. comes home to watch. Probably tomorrow. lol But like we discussed last week, I was already spoiled on the big moment from this past week.

Grimm - I wondered about that too! Maybe Grimms can smell each other. lol But if Trubel was tipped on the location by her captors maybe they're not so safe there?

Grimm--same question here about Trubl and her finding the super secret hideout.

I imagine we'll find out how. Will be strange when she sees Adalind and Nick with a baby playing house, etc. And with only 2 beds, guess who's sleeping with whom--lol. It's already been done, but with Trubl there the options are limited. If I were Nick I'd build a wall for privacy. Anyway, any guesses on what's behind that door. It should not be a total mystery given the available surveys.

LEgends--So the ep that had the Paris attack was eerily similar. Interesting background info.

Legends - So bizarre, I double check and my TiVo was scheduled to record the ep but then it wasn't in my list this morning. I'll have to find it eventually. Ugh.

MJ said...

Legends - pretty sure it repeats. Haven't seen it yet

Homeland - i watched last night but was so tired kept nodding off. LOL

Have a Happy Turkey day every one !

Gotham--LOL on Selena vs the other girl. And Bruce telling Selena what he thinks of her. Penguin being blamed by gutless ex mayor was a bit of a change up. Not bad ep.

Have fun guys and enjoy the Thanksgiving break.
