Smallville (2001)
Keeping the secret is more impotant then who you save.
It was in the contracts along with certain characters that could not be used in the show. This show still pulled off a great 6 season run on a 10 season cut. It was fantastic. The biggest tease of a real superhero. Everyone wants to show off. Clark fought with himself/father to keep his secret. Keeping his best friends in dark for years, was the best hook. The build up, and then Chloe found out with a car getting tossed to the side. EPIC!
Lex was a nice change from the usual bald crazy person obsessed with Superman. He gets to that point during the series. It was a very well played transit to the character he grew in to instead of the mindless Lex we see on screen.
Pete did get to find out earlier then her. Pete's reaction is another reason why you can't talk about it.
Great show! 9/10.
The Night Agent (2023)
Pretty solid first season.
I would have preferred the ending to include an invitation from The President to both Peter and Rose for night agents. A couple walking down the street draws less attention.
If they were less worried about a season two, he should have gotten off the plain. Maybe throw in a pick up and twirl in the air and saying something like "I was told to keep an eye on you. Kiss and roll credits.
I hope a second season is greenlit just to see the duo back together.
I binged the series. If were not up to par then I could have moved on. I enjoyed the show even ignoring several goofs. The Vice President resides in The Naval Observatory, and yet Maddie says she is happy to be home while being treated in The White House. Nitpick yes, just an observation of many inaccuracies. Still a good show.
Poker Face: Exit Stage Death (2023)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I have and ambient play list for this, yet I was relaxed. I used to tune out to death metal to get "stuff" done. Nothing beats a good rain storm, or a rainstorm on a tin roof. Trains with thunderstorms, if you can get the right quality. Some of them make obvious loop errors and I wake up when there is a pause.
Don't get me wrong, this was not a sleeper episode by no means. I just felt a kinship to the main character when she started putting in ear buds. I had a moment, "i'm not the only one!" obviously there is a massive amount of channels devoted to white noise. 4 hour to 10 hour to 24 hour. The looping though wakes me up every time.
I'm a big fan of the main victim of this show, which is also the lead. Russian Dolls, Orange is the new Black. I have seen great things from her. I can't wait to see what she does next.
Seaquest DSV (1994)
ahead of its time
My old VHS copies are better quality then what i can find on the internet. This show had it all! Deep exploration but on our own planet. How can we expect to understand other worlds when we do not know our own. A lot of people wanted to compare it to Star Trek TNG and yeah there were a few crossover issues and yet Seaquest lasted 3 seasons. They were not 3 great seasons though cause the studio had plans, focus groups, and rating quotas. The network sunk this show. This was Firefly before it was even thought of. #destined for more

No matter what I'm glad that Roy got a bigger boat.
