What TV have you watched this week?
Supernatural 13x02 The Rising Son
NCIS 15x05 Fake It 'Til You Make It
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic 7x24 Uncommon Bond

Which character would you like to see in a guest appearance on another show?
Since NCIS is a JAG spin-off, it would be feasible (and awesome) to see my fave Meg on NCIS.

Would you ever go on a reality show?
Never. I value my anonymity and have no interest in reality shows.

*What TV have you watched this week?

Malcom in the Middle. I'm marathoning it because I've never watched all eps in proper order. Currently watching season 4.

*Which character would you like to see in a guest appearance on another show?

Good question. Hmmm. Is there still a great crime drama with a female lead? I'd love to have two of them on the same show at least once, with no rivalry or any other BS. Imagine Maria Bello from the excellent Prime Suspect remake and Gillian Anderson from the equally excellent The Fall. *sigh*

*Would you ever go on a reality show?

No. Ruthless competitions and/or yelling matches aren't really my thing.

Frankie is KILLING it on this season of Dancing With the Stars! I love him!

What TV have you watched this week? Oooooh my gosh! Season 2 of Haters Back Off came out, so I watched it all in one night. Also the current eps of The Good Place, The Orville, Dancing With the Stars, Blue Bloods. There was also the obligatory watching of Buffy Halloween episodes.

Has anyone else watched Haters Back Off?

What TV have you watched this week?

Mostly the baseball World Series. We had to tape the end of the last game and watch it the following morning because, despite the constant back and forth score flip, we couldn't stay awake any longer. Otherwise I tried out the reboot of Once Upon a Time and decided I just couldn't care about it, and took Gotham off my schedule. I'm also still watching Project Runway, and am giving the judges serious side eye for their decisions the past 2 weeks, and Dancing With the Stars which had some great entries last week. I haven't seen the Halloween episode yet but will watch that tonight.

And though it was last week and not this one, I finished the final season of Halt and Catch Fire which is sadly underrated.

Which character would you like to see in a guest appearance on another show?

It would be amusing to see Agent Coulson turn up on The Gifted and be really hurt that the cellist he was dating wasn't dead but instead married with two mutant kids.

Would you ever go on a reality show?

No. Noooooooooooo.

[yourlibrarian]

I forgot to mention in my reply that I also saw ep 2 of SPN. Not sure where they're going with things but hope that Jack shakes up the show.

[yourlibrarian]

He's been quite a surprise. I don't see him making the finals because apparently he's not getting enough votes, but it's been fun to see him compete.

[yourlibrarian]

When you say Prime Suspect remake, do you mean the prequel? But yes, really liked Anderson in The Fall, and would like to see that character again, perhaps working with Hathaway from Lewis.

[fueschgast]

It probably wouldn't be good drama, but I really want Jack to stay good.

[yourlibrarian]

I have not seen it, no, and we're a week behind on The Good Place (and everything else, really). I was also thinking of breaking out the Buffy Halloween eps tonight :)

[ninetydegrees]

Nope, I meant the US remake. AFAIK it's not a prequel.

Oh! Great idea! Lewis is awesome.

What TV have you watched this week? By this week, you mean last week, right? Since it's only Tuesday... So... Star Trek Discovery, Walking Dead, Outlander, Gunpowder, Blue Planet II, Lucifer, Stranger Things 2, Mindhunter, Have I Got News For You, Criminal Minds, Madam Secretary, Designated Survivor, The Blacklist, The Orville, loads of baseball... Probably other stuff as well, but I'm drawing blanks at the moment...

Which character would you like to see in a guest appearance on another show? I hate cross-overs. They're gimmicky and rarely work or make sense, so none.

Would you ever go on a reality show? No.

What TV have you watched this week? Binged Stranger Things 2, started on The Good Place season 2, continued loving Better Things, gave Big Mouth a half-hearted shot

Which character would you like to see in a guest appearance on another show? I'm not sure it would be a good idea to put Eleanor from The Good Place in a room with Rebecca from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, but it would certainly be entertaining.

Would you ever go on a reality show? No, but I would like to produce one. Here's the pitch:
1. We take 12 narcissistic assholes of various backgrounds and lock them in a house.
2. The end. Kidding! No, we tell them they're being filmed for the biggest reality show in history, broadcast on prime time, and every week we "vote" one out depending on how much they've degraded themselves over the week. The out-votee is sequestered in a hotel with no access to TV.
3. We don't actually film them, let alone broadcast it.
4. After 12 weeks we let them out, then follow them with hidden cameras as they try to capitalize on their supposed fame until they realize they're just a bunch of broke nobodies. We then give them proper jobs and counseling until they're ready to become useful members of society.

Gillian Anderson for everything.

Have you seen the movie 'The Heat'? It's more comedy and not TV but it's 2 female leads with a traditional 'buddy cop' plot.

[colls]

No. Noooooooooooo.
That seems to be the consensus - LOL

[colls]

Or in the last week, or recent, or whatever.... doesn't really matter. :)

I'm a couple episodes behind, but am enjoying Star Trek Discovery. It's so nice to have Trek on TV again!

[ninetydegrees]

I have! Melissa and Sandra made a great duo.

[colls]

All anyone could talk about this weekend was Stranger Things!!! I think I still have a couple episodes of season 1 to watch before I can dive in. I hear it's good.

I love your reality show! Especially because I wouldn't have to watch 12 narcissistic assholes ;)

[beer_good_foamy]

It would be amusing to see Agent Coulson turn up on The Gifted and be really hurt that the cellist he was dating wasn't dead but instead married with two mutant kids.

...and then commiserate with Deathlok and Alexis Denisof's character from The Avengers. "We've all been there, buddy."

[beer_good_foamy]

I'm actually still not completely sold on Stranger Things. It's a very slick, well-made TV series that does a lot of things right, and it's very bingeable. At the same time, it bugs me just a little bit how it's absolutely shameless about its nostalgia porn. It's a very focus-grouped show with everything perfectly designed to be Just Right, and after watching both that and the new IT movie, part of me - not all of me, but part of me - started longing for actual, trashier 80s VHS movies with cheap special effects and bad acting. But, y'know, I still watched all of s2 in two long sittings, because it is good.

[veritas_poet]

I know, right? I feel sorry for him. (Thus far.)

What TV have you watched this week?

I guess you mean last week? Hawaii Five-0, Supernatural and Stranger Things <--- EEEEE! I can't believe it's over! I had watched a bunch of eps in a row but I didn't realize I had gotten through Ep 8. I was SO sad that I only had the last episode left. I even went back and checked to make sure I hadn't skipped one. I was hoping I had!


Which character would you like to see in a guest appearance on another show?

Oh, man, how I would've given ANYTHING for an X-Files / Supernatural crossover! But it would b weird now because... apparently the TV show characters know about other TV characters. It would have to be some kind of novelty episode, not anything that takes place within the universe of the show. Please, God! Make it happen!

Would you ever go on a reality show?

Yegads, no!

[veritas_poet]

Mwahaha! I love your version of a reality show!

[veritas_poet]

Aw, man, I hadn't thought of Maria Bello and Gillian Anderson on a show together! How freaking awesome would that be?

I was going to say, toss Alex Kingston into the mix and it would be perfect! But that would cause screens all over the world to spontaneously combust from hotness and talent. We can't have that.

Speaking of Maria Bello, why isn't she more well known? She's not just gorgeous, but so talented!

[yourlibrarian]

Huh, I don't think I ever heard of it. Is it still in production?
