Not sure what’s going on here, but is it Roger Cross I’m spotting? (Should I add First Wave to the cheesy 90s SFF watchlist? Is it from the 90s? It’s been so long since I’ve watched it)

i love the way crowley exerts so much extra effort to find workarounds for having to do his job and also sets up all these rakes and steps on them later with his low-grade hellish malaise schemes and the upshot of that is he should get really into rube goldberg machines. literally sarah and i were talking this through at 4am because imagine if the season opened with like. a stylistic whimsical worms eye view of the bookshop as a complicated machine goes off and flips spoons and drops books and shuffles cards etc etc and at the end you hear a door buzzer sound and pan over to aziraphale looking up with an annoyed expression and muttering that he told crowley he didnt need a doorbell. (its nude gabriel out there) and perhaps also as the switches flip we get symbols and cards and text built into the machine that quickly summarizes the events of the first season to bring viewers up to speed. lil ball bearings but its the three-baby-shuffle from ep1x01. you're telling me that wouldn't be charming as hell. where's the fun.

Nancy Drew, Ep1x01 - Pilot

Nancy Drew is interesting because I did watch the first episode when it came out.  I think I even watched some of the second episode.  However, I really didn’t like any of the characters and didn’t watch beyond that.  That being said I have been told by several people that, quite frankly, the series did have quite a rocky start; it does start to get better after a few episodes; and becomes really interesting about halfway through season one.  I probably am going to rush a little bit through the the episodes until I start to get more interested.  In other words, for awhile, this will probably be less of a recap; more of a glorified list of events in the episode.

The show starts with this unsolved murder of this beauty queen who the town calls Dead Lucy.

We also get a quick recap of Nancy’s life:  how she was this girl detective with a bright future ahead of her; how her mother got cancer and died; and how her life derailed after that.  And Nancy has sworn off mysteries.

So, for now, she works at a local restaurant with George, Ace, and Bess.  She is also sort of seeing this guy Ned Nickerson, or Nick; their relationship is complicated.

It’s the night of the Sea Queen parade and the restaurant was going to close early.  But then Mr. Hudson (local rich dude) and two other men show up.  George, the manager, decides to stay open for them.

Nancy is asked to bring food to Mr. Hudson’s wife, Tiffany, who’s waiting in the parking lot; which Nancy does.

Nancy goes back inside and suddenly the power goes out all over the town. Nancy goes outside again, to find Tiffany’s dead body.  Nancy calls for help and her coworkers and Nick run outside. But here's the strange thing. Not more than mere seconds later, a bunch of police cars pull up to the restaurant.

So, the chief of police, McGinnis, (who’s a dick and hates Nancy because she’s more competent then him) interviews everyone.  Turn out everyone was alone at the time of the murder.  The one exception is Ace, who was serving Mr. Hudson and his friends at the time.

So, everyone but Ace is brought down to the police station.  Turns out Bess has been caught for shoplifting before and Nick is a felon.  But McGinnis really seems to want to pin this all on Nancy.

We also meet Detective Karen Heart at this point.

It turns out that, just before she died, Tiffany was able to call the police for help.  

Nancy realizes that when she went to bring Tiffany her food, Tiffany was wearing a giant ring.  But the ring was gone, when Nancy found the body.

Nancy, walking home from the police station, has a creepy moment where she hears (?) children singing about the dead beauty queen.  Nancy looks at a storefront window and sees a crown on her head.

Nancy looks at a video she shot earlier that night of the fireworks.  But what she sees is Tiffany and a ghost-like figure behind her; just before the video cuts out.  Some of her coworkers thinks it’s the ghost.

Nancy thinks the husband may have killed his wife somehow.  Nancy breaks into their home to see if she can find anything unusual.  

Nancy finds a strange neckless in a hidden compartment.  Knowing it’s something of a nautical nature, Nancy asks George about it.  George tells her that women used to put secret messages into the neckless and sailors would melt them in water to get the messages out.  

They break open the neckless and find a figure of a seahorse.  But it’s also a figure that’s on the Sea Queens crown.  Also on the neckless is an address to a Medium.  Perhaps Tiffany was trying to contact or protect herself from a ghost?

The three girls go see the Medium, who tries to contact Tiffany.  However, the Medium seems to contact Dead Lucy who tells them to find the dress.

Nancy accidentally left her hat at the Hudson’s but Detective Heart found it and brought it Nancy’s father to protect Nancy.  Also, it seems like something’s going on between the father and the detective; something Nancy has just found out about.

Ace seems to have an interest in Bess, which she does not have for him.

We find out that Nancy’s dad was Nick’s lawyer and her dad wants her to stay away from him.   So Nancy breaks into her dad’s files and finds Nick’s case.  Turns out he was convicted of manslaughter based on one witness testimony; Tiffany Hudson. (And this is a small town, so why hasn’t Nancy heard of this?).  But this makes Nick a suspect.

Bess says she’s living with a rich aunt, but we find out she’s sleeping in a camper van.

Apparently, George seems to be having an affair with Ryan (Mr. Hudson) and Ace snaps a picture of the two together and send it to the Chief of Police.

Nick finds something in Nancy’s mom’s old car (drugs?); which he’s preparing for Nancy.

Bess has Tiffany’s ring or what looks like the ring.  Also, it was mentioned she was caught shoplifting once.  I’m guessing there’s more to that story.

At the end of the episode, the power goes out at Nancy’s house and the stairs to the attic come down. There, behind some torn wallpaper, she finds a rhyme about Lucy.  She also sees a trunk that she saw her parents dug up in their backyard when she was a child.  Inside the trunk, is a bloody dress which seems to be Lucy’s. Behind Nancy a ghostly form appears.

Static Shock Appreciation Week Day 1, Why do You Like Static? 

Other than the obvious, I started liking Virgil from the very beginning. This grew into a love for him and the show as the audience saw more sides of his personality, the different ways he interacted with people, and the way he settled any problems he had. Virgil from the get go always has the person he’s trying to help in mind even if they’re the villain. Over the course of the series he ended up helping many people either get rehabilitated or get the help they needed whether bang baby or not. Being chained to Hotstreak, making an effort to help Maureen get the mental help she needed, helping Alva reconnect with his son, helping Aquamaria return to herself, and many many more.

Virgil is not afraid to step in a go for the long haul for those that he loves. See the countless times he’s saved Richie while he was a civilian and even more times as he was Gear. He puts the people he loves first which is why the relationships he has with his mother, father, sister, and friends are so impactful to the audience. Going back in time to save his mother and his reaction to Richie being shot and Daisy being hurt in the crossfire of a battle immediately come to mind. The biggest indicator of this was going rogue in order to save his father. He even fought Gear, his best friend and partner, to protect his father.

Virgil also has made mistakes like ending up at the big bang or going on a violent hunt for Puff in an attempt to get revenge, but he always comes back to his morals. He threw away the gun in the first episode and he listened to Rubberband man who told him that Daisy was hurt because of his own ego. He’s a teenager that has a lot of responsibility, but he takes it in stride and solves his problems with the help from people around him. 

There’s so much more you can say about Virgil Hawkins, but it’d would completely make this post never ending.

I just watched the first episode of Camelot. What is that for a show? It already broke my heart :(

[kittyk4att]

Is that guy just requested off days because something is wrong with him? Instead of dive into work and pretend nothing’s wrong? Why am I surprised a main guy in a cop show does something remotely healthy?

Not sure what’s going on here, but is it Roger Cross I’m spotting? (Should I add First Wave to the cheesy 90s SFF watchlist? Is it from the 90s? It’s been so long since I’ve watched it)
