Most of my "regular" TV shows are coming to an end if they haven't already ended, and summer shows are already starting! I guess it's time to do another recap. It's been a fantastic season for TV. Only three episodes left of Big Bang Theory AND Game of Thrones!! AHHH!
I'm going to step in the way-back machine and hope my trusty list has all the shows I watch, sometimes it's hard to keep track. LOL
Spoilers.
You've been warned.
Seriously.
The Good Place - NBC
I have nothing but love for this show. I love the cast. I love the bonkers stories. I love the premise. I love Janet. That is all.
Project Blue Book - History
This was a new show for me this year, I couldn't help myself. "Kenzi" from Lost Girl, "Enzo" from The Originals, and "Littlefinger" from GoT are in it as well as the ubiquitous Neil McDonough, who most recently in the DC's Legends of Tomorrow has played Damien Darhk and is also in a couple of my other shows this year like Suits. He plays a great dick. LOL Anyway, this show takes real investigations from the Military and put an Ancient Alien spin on the outcomes. According to the showrunners, there won't be aliens, but I'm enjoying it so far.
Black Lightning - CW
I flipping love Anissa. I was a little tired of Tobias, as good a villain as he was, so I hope they move on from that storyline next season. I'm excited to see where they go. I love the real-life issues they tackle without being preachy and how the family always strives to look out for each other.
Legacies - CW
The only reason I watched the pilot was to see if any of The Originals cast showed up in flashbacks or memories or whathaveyou. I knew Alaric was going to be in the show, and I do love him, but I didn't think the "Creature Academy" thing would work for me. Guess it's good that they are rarely shown actually going to class, because what they do totally works. I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying this show. I'm sure it has to do with loving Julie Plec as a writer and showrunner. I've watched most of her shows on the CW and probably will, even with the few misses in recent years.
The Walking Dead - AMC
I didn't fast forward as much this season as I did last season when they focused on characters I didn't really give a crap about. I will say The Whisperers were terrifying and Alpha is as crazy as they come. I was a bit sad to see Henry go, I thought they did a great job with the actors playing him and showing his growth throughout the season. Now that Carol is single again, she needs to cut her hair. I still miss Rick, but not so much that I don't like the show anymore, which honestly surprised me.
American Soul - BET
One of the things I love about this new age of TV is seeing different stories about different groups of people. Not only is American Soul (loosely?) based on the formation and rise of Soul Train, it's a beautifully acted drama about life in the 60s and 70s from a viewpoint we rarely see on TV, Black America. The dancing is fantastic. The singing is AMAZING. Even the guest stars are great. If I could suggest one new show to watch, it would be this one, hands down.
This is Us - NBC
A good season, not great, but I still enjoy the flashbacks. Love the young kid actors playing the Big Three and think the direction they are going is interesting. It really would not be the same show without Milo, that's for sure.
Supernatural - CW
Wow. Just wow. I was not expecting that end, at all. FUCK CHUCK! Grr. He was such a great character prior to the last episode of the season. I'm not sure why (I mean I get it, he's GOD) they decided to make him Head Dick, but it makes sense as far as the show goes, not really what I would have done with the character. Last season coming up. It's going to be weird living in a world without Sam and Dean.
Did you watch any of these? What was your favorite show so far this season?

2014 Fall TV Recap Part 1
It's that time again friends! I know, you wait for theses all year long. Tehehe.
Most of the shows I watch sign off in the next two weeks, but we had a few early finales, so we'll talk about those.
FYI - Possible SPOILERS!
Blacklist -
I'm not as into it as much as I was the first season and I think Liz & Ressler have a lot to do with it. I get that you need conflict, but it's really annoying when every single show that has some type of law enforcement officer in it has to deal with prescription drug or alcohol addiction. It's a little played out for me. Liz is annoying. Red is the the only reason I watch the show right now, he kills it every single week...and sometimes someone.
How To Get Away With Murder -
Wow. Just wow! While I took a guess that it was Wes who killed Sam to save Rebecca from him, I didn't expect all the other stuff before and after it. Wow. There are so many avenues each of the characters can go in the next half of the season, so I'm very excited to see how they play out. One of my favorite freshman shows ever. I just hope they can keep it up.
Scandal -
I feel really bad for whoever has Olivia. Fitz is gonna sic Jake who will probably recruit Huck and man...I don't want to be whoever that dude/dudette is. The VP probably won't make it to the end of the season alive either for his part. Many of the side plots and "fixee of the week" plots are much more interesting to me than who Olivia should be with, but I'm very happy she finally came to terms with the fact that she loves them both, for different reasons, and really doesn't want to chose. However, whenever she and Fitz are together, man, they have some scorching chemistry. Also, as creepy as it has been, Quinn and Charlie make much more sense than Quinn and Huck.
The Walking Dead -
I was never a big Beth fan. I kinda wanted her to die, a lot, over the last few seasons. So after some douche ruined it for me that she was going to die, I went into the episode with a different outlook. When Michonne told Maggie they'd found Beth and she was ok...I was really pissed and sad that I got spoiled. Grrr. I'll never know what my reaction would have been or whether I would have been sadder at the sudden loss. Going in and knowing only made me super sad for Maggie which made the end even harder for me having lost a sibling myself. I think the shock factor would have suited me better. Meh. However this season has been great. I love the focus on our group again with all the outside plots and characters staying minimal. I still do not like the episodes where they focus on one separate group, I like all the groups mixed into the episodes.
Sleepy Hollow -
There is so much Katrina hate out there, I really don't get it. Sure, she has to be rescued a lot. But A. Not her fault-blame the writers. B. It's not like she's from present time and completely understands our world yet. C. It really is okay to be a damsel in distress when, you know, a fucking headless undead ax wielding demon is in love with you. and D. Your witch/dammed son is working for another demon who is hell bent on starting the apocalypse. I think people just want to get rid of her because they want Ichabod and Abbie to get together, which I really, really, really don't want to see happen. I like them just the way they are. That being said, I've enjoyed this season, I like the longer arch stories as opposed to the creature of the week, which they still do, and I like that they are expanding the cast a little. I would have liked to see more of the Reenactment Tailor girl, (forgot her name) I thought she was adorable and loved her interactions with Ichabod. It's cooky but I love it.
More to come next week!
