I blame the writer's strike for all the crap we've been forced to deal with. Most of the shows I've watched the quality of the scrips post-strike were other hit or miss or just bad.
Point in case:
Bones
First two episodes were boring, formulaic and uninteresting except for the 'partner's therapy' and increasing Sweet's character. The last two were back to the show I enjoyed. Witty, fun, action and twists and turns in the mystery.
NCIS.
I HATED the dog episode. I so wanted to wrap my hands around Abby's throat. As many of said I'm all for animal rights but the dog mauled a co-worker who's supposed to be your friend. Abby was way over the top in that one.
I echo the Ziva thing. Again it was cool to get a Ziva centric eppy, but not at the cost of ruining the character. Ms. Assassin, military trained killer, gets PTSD over killing this guy who was trying to kill her? It was way OCCC.
This week's was pretty good though and I have decent hopes for next week's.
SPN
I loved Ghostfacers. Yes, its been done before in fandom, but it was funny, I loved the way they shot it and the overall storyline had a lot of emotion for involving a ton of OC's. I loved me some Ghostfacers! I wish it had a bit more Sam and Dean but meh.
Long Distance Phone call was waste of using John IMO and I hate it when they split up the brothers. I was feeling better about last week's eppy. What can I say Kripe, really, really listens to the fans unlike some shows..maybe to a fault? He wanted to keep Bela, liked her, but he caved to fan pressure to get rid of her, he said so in many interviews. Though I'm glad she's gone I hated her. I didn't fall for the sexual abuse angle if that was what that scene was meant to be..she was cold blooded, always in it for herself. It still doesn't explain the colt. If she sold it, why did she steal it ? I thought it was to fight off the demon who had her contract..so I'm thinking something is up with that, too big a plot hole.
Hopefully season finales will make me happier..but meh I doubt it. I might just re-watch Rome over the summer and be happy whiel waiting for SGA.
