Stranger Things - watched them all. I loved it. Some said S2 not as good but I enjoyed it

Punisher - 3 in. Not bad

Supergirl and Flash - caught up for the crossover. Just need to watch a Legends or two now.

This is Us - watched last weeks. So very sad with the baby. Nice to see a good moment for Kate and mom. And yes - per your comment last week - doing all character-centric eps for 3 weeks.

Stranger Things - Really have fallen behind here. Gotta work on that. I think we're 3 in.

Punisher - haven't started. Hopefully things go on hiatus and I can blow through that.

DC - Ready for crossover!

This is Us - yep, one to go!

MJ said...

Mike V. said...

Vikings - Felt like it was almost time for its return. Richard, are you excited about where the show will be headed now without Ragnar at front and center?

Crisis on Earth X - DC Crossover - Watched Supergirl and Arrow eps. Pretty good so far. Though Bad Supergirl performance is kinda rough. Did she try to add an evil accent to the performance? lol I know Victor Garber will be done with Legends at some point this season. I wonder where Firestorm will end up? I don't think they're going to turn the other dude into Spider-man but it was a funny reference. lol

Vikings--I am really interested in the multi ep premiere. From the titles you can guess on a few things. One thing that could really make things good is who they get to play Alfred the Great. But he may not be grown until late this season?? Maybe next?

Legends - not sure Mick's backstory was that informative ? I mean - we knew his dad was mean and that Mick killed him in the fire. Guess thenew part was why he was mean. Ugh - hate Grodd. LOL

Caught up on Flash and Supergirl too - so ready for the crossovers. But noticing that all these shows had the biggest of stars missing for alot of this last weeks eps - cause they were filming the crossovers.

Vikings - knew it was soon. SIGH. Not sure I will be able to keep up yet again. Not sure either that I care about Ivar and the rest of them. We shall see.

Mike V. said...

Vikings - I feel the same way. We knew it would eventually have to move past Ragnar, but I don't know how invested I am in the new stories. I'm sure I'll still watch.

Legends - I figured that possibly Mick may have positively impacted the past by encountering his father. Maybe his father won't be dead anymore. But, if he wasn't not sure what that would do to Mick's current self eventually. lol He may not have taken the same path that would lead him to be a legend. Yeah Grodd is annoying.

Interesting on the crossovers. That makes sense! I'm also noticing that not everyone has been in the crossovers either. lol Some legends missing. Guess they weren't invited to the wedding! lol

Vikings--I watched part 1 of the premiere. It's maybe different for me to watch vs those who don't know the history? Finehair is one of the best documented older Viking leaders and so how he is being treated here vs Lagertha is kind of a joke. Lagertha is not a historical figure as she is being portrayed here. Alfred was there, not sure that actor will be the one to play that character long term. Ivar was cruel, they have that right. Floki finding Iceland is kind of strange. Bjorn going to Constantinople will be legit. Need some Rollo. And the show is setting up to move past Lagertha. Astrid and Finehair would be funny.

I really like the warrior monk.

There's a new show next Wed about the Knights Templar on History channel. I will watch to see how accurate they are.

Vikings - didn’t get to it. I had 2 episodes of mr robot to watch. I’ll try tonight/tomorrow morning. Was it 3 hours over 2 parts? I have a 2 hour episode and a 1 hour episode recorded.

MJ said...

Vikings - didn't watch - but yes - 2 hour premier and a 1 hour special about Lagertha. Maybe Richard - because I know very little of the real history. Have to tell my husband about the Templar show though. He is a Mason and is into that stuff. ;-D

Mike - feel the quake ? I did not as I was in PT but my husband said our cat threw up (which he does not do a lot) and 1 minute later he felt the couch shake and our Christmas tree moved a bit.

Supergirl/Arrow - Was really good. Better then last year. Loved the drunken hook up. This crossover seems more cohesive. Last time it was like you watched each show and someone from the other was there. This time you'd almost be hard put t know which you had on except for minor focus on the star of each show. Barry and Iris just need to find a justice of the peace ! LOL As for Arrow - so I don't watch that one but I did see the first season and remember who Thea was and vaguely remembered the meta who killed himself was Olivers best friend who was a rich drunken play boy.

Mike V. said...

I had 4 hours worth of Vikings recorded. Lol but I watched the 2 hour premiere. The 2nd hour recorded again. It was decent! Ivar is getting his walk on. Lol

Quake - I was close to Delaware and I still didn’t feel it. Lol

I’m off today so provably won’t be commenting too much. Taking kids to see Santa. :)

MJ said...

This is Us - Another good ep. Like how the did the William in Randall's life moments if only William had knocked on the Pearson door. Liked the Deja story - but was ok to see her go too. Never saw young Randall so happy as he was on Howard Univ campus. Did he go to Howard ? I was sure Kevin was going to crash that car with little Tess in it !

Shameless - have not yet watched any but hear this season is great.

Have fun seeing Santa !

Mike V. said...

This is us - I really don't know where Randall went! This trio of episodes were pretty good though. We were totally set up to think Kevin was going to crash that car! Hopefully this is rock bottom for him.

Shameless - it's been pretty good! Better start than last season.

Thanks! It was a good time!
