A few years back, they were going to take off the surface of the road in front of my building (and put a new one back). Several weeks in advance, they started sending people notices. Put signs up. There were notices in the paper. The day they started, of course, there was ONE car on the entire street. The road crew were merciful (maybe) and didn't have the car towed. However, when they were done, the car sat on the only dilapidated bit of pavement for about three blocks and was covered with a thick layer of dust from the road grinding.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

The Magicians, Syfy's whimsical drama, is 2017's answer to Buffy the Vampire Slayer
But The Magicians excels because it never forgets that high dramatic stakes only work when they're rooted in believable emotional stakes. Buffy struck this balance beautifully in a way that many of its imitators struggled to replicate, but that The Magicians seems to understand.
...
In season two, The Magicians is darker, deeper, and just plain better than it was in season one, and it makes a claim for being one of the most unexpectedly great shows on television.

Just binged season one and loved it. Looking forward to season two.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm guessing the lack of talk means everyone else was as "meh" about the new Supergirl and Flash episodes as I was?

I'm watching The Flash right now and thinking that Barry seriously has to stop time-traveling. He's really bad at it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I liked them both. I was just waiting for someone else to start the conversation. Yay, Barry for actually talking to your loved ones! Boo on not telling Joe because that will probably bite them in the ass. I still think Kid Flash is going to die.
Super girl was fun, but I still really miss Calista Flockhart, and I miss Supergirl working with her friends.

I tuned in to Supergirl just in time to catch Kara and James pitching their smugly boastful stories about who did the more impressive heroing and decided I'd had it with this season. I hope CatCo's news division goes down in flames.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The Librarians: The resolution of Apep was a cop-out. If a main character is going to spend several episodes emphasizing that he's going to have to die to defeat a Big Bad, there needs to be a sacrifice with some emotional resonance. I'd have settled for the general somehow getting pulled in as a sort of penalty for her stupidity in releasing Apep.
On the other hand, the last shot was truly laugh-out-loud funny.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oh, that's too bad. I haven't seen the latest ep of The Librarians but I was really hoping that Flynn would die, because I find him (and Noah Wyle's portrayal of him) insufferable. I like everyone else on the show! It's just that whenever Flynn shows up, my fist itches with an impulse to punch his smug face in. Which also makes Eve/Flynn difficult to stomach because maaaan, she could do so much better.
