What did you watch?
I did a ton of DVR clearing and watched:
Law & Order - "Catch and Kill" - Season 24 premier. They replaced
Ellenor Frutt with Maura Tierney. Her old ER co-star directed this
episode. The episode focused on the murder of a DA and I already forgot
who killed her and why.
The Ark - "Fortunate" - Season 2 finale. I finally got around to
watching this. It was actually better than I was expecting. Now I need
to track down the reviews already posted.

Worst Superman movie until Superman three. Please tell me you at least have the Donner cut?

Her boyfriend killed her because he was fabulously wealthy and liked to
beat women up and had a deal with a guy at a TV station. I think who could make all news everywhere vanish for $100,000 a pop.
Even though she was an ADA, she left the shelter. She was hiding in and
went back home all alone to pack up her stuff not even asking for one of
the dozens of cops she must know to go along and stand guard.
The Ark - "Fortunate" - Season 2 finale. I finally got around to

Adam completely screwed up the discussion on this by intentionally
derailing Ian‘s posts.

or the person who couldn't win tic-tac-toe, and was dragged to the

Then, every time they promptly decide, you know what, that other person
who won all of those challenges and everyone on the jury really likes,
I'm going to take them instead and just see what happens.
Survivor - This was a pretty good one. From nearly being caught red
handed thanks to the "blood" to a pretty good tribal council where you
didn't know who was going to win, but they weren't messing around with
the editing before tribal like they usual do.
FOUND - As expected things are getting stranger with Tabitha back at
the village. Because it is night things don't go so well for everyone.
Also the new black kid/young guy is getting visions but these aren't
as scary as others. This seems to be someone asking for help,
literally. Then Fatima is on her strange pregnancy diet. Which makes
me wonder just what sort of baby is she growing in her.

Only caught a couple of minutes of this after TRACKER. Big Brother
lost me a few years ago so I'm only kept up because some friends still
watch and discuss it.
TRACKER - Season opener which has our guy visiting someone who he
thinks kidnapped the girl he couldn't find. Apparently it's a yearly
thing for him, but he may have the wrong guy. The main case revolves
around a missing family but the expected signs of a struggle or
accident weren't found. It's a decent case but the ending felt a bit contrived.
FOUND -
Survivor - This was a pretty good one. From nearly being caught red
handed thanks to the "blood" to a pretty good tribal council where you
didn't know who was going to win, but they weren't messing around with
the editing before tribal like they usual do.
Agreed. The "blood" was a neat idea as a way to make it more difficult
for someone to successfully get an advantage/idol. As it was I though
Sue should have headed to the beach to clean up,
Survivor newsgroup. As for the editing, I agree. This time around it
was pretty clear who was going instead of it being a mystery as to who
is getting voted off and why.

The show can be hit or miss. I mostly watch out of habit, but some
season are actually good.

FOUND -
I have this saved for later. I also have "Accused" saved on my DVR. I >didn't even realize it was a different show until "Found" popped up then
I realized, wait a minute, "Accused" is a whole other show. I don't
even really remember "Accused" but I think it was an anthology type of show.
Survivor - This was a pretty good one. From nearly being caught red
handed thanks to the "blood" to a pretty good tribal council where you
didn't know who was going to win, but they weren't messing around with
the editing before tribal like they usual do.
Agreed. The "blood" was a neat idea as a way to make it more difficult
for someone to successfully get an advantage/idol. As it was I though
Sue should have headed to the beach to clean up,
Her problem was she didn't have a mirror. Her face was splattered red
but she couldn't see it. Her teammates were *freaked* out with the
"blood" on her face, the machete next to her hand, and her making
obvious lies to account for where the "blood" came from.
I cut myself that's where the blood came from, yeah, that's the ticket,
but I didn't actually cut myself so don't worry about the blood, or this >machete that I did, I mean did not cut myself with, so go away.
as I said over in the
Survivor newsgroup. As for the editing, I agree. This time around it
was pretty clear who was going instead of it being a mystery as to who
is getting voted off and why.
I think it pretty much came down to Sol, playing smart, swallowing his
pride and voting out the sure thing, instead of refusing to work with
the jerk who was mean to him. And I honestly didn't know which way he
was going to go. And that guy really was a jerk. What is his problem?

Ack.. Shows what posting this stuff while the computer is having
issues. Ended up with this post getting stuck in the news reader and
not going out. Yes, the show I'm discussing is FROM.

Yes, this is the one with the replacement Ryan. I wonder if this show was concurrent with X-FILES at the time because Ryan's replacement often will behave like Agent Scully and scoff at the existence of cursed items. I
did find it amusing that one of his fallback lines was "I'll grab one of
the cursed items from the vault and use it to help us!". That said, I get
a sense of deja-vu because they're repeating the lessons we already saw Ryan learn, like being persuaded to let the crippled girl keep the cursed wheelchair a little longer so she could walk again.

It's not that bad, but them switching directors in the middle of production and him reshooting one third so he could get credit doesn't help.

Especially since Lester's reshoots are pig shit.
