On the TV Front

katikatCaught up on many shows yesterday, like Elementary 303, Haven 510, Scorpion 108 and The Blacklist 205-208. Nothing really stood out for me, though, at least not in a positive way. But there were many things that irked me.
Like, for example, in Haven: did Duke really just work with Mara? Trusted Mara over his fucking friends? Over Audrey and Nathan who have proved many times in the past that they would go to hell and back for him? What's this OOC shit? Or in Scorpion: can we drop the kid and dating drama? It's WAY too early for that! I hope it's not the direction they plan on taking the show in the future.
But what really took the top was Elementary and the road they took with Kitty and her past. Are you fucking kidding me? So she's a brutal rape victim? YET ANOTHER woman empowered by a sexual assault? Because, yeah, every woman needs to be broken on this show, either by screwing up herself - Joan - or by being screwed - Kitty. This made me so very, very angry! I can't help but thinking that the writers have a bucket list of social issues and tick them off, saying, "Okay, we covered drug addiction (S1) and addictions in general (S2). What now? How about rape?" FUCK. IT. I'm already annoyed by this season, by Sherlock's attitude towards Kitty and his colleagues - basically anyone but Joan who has a rainbow shooting outta her ass, apparently! - and if this trend continues, I will drop it. The show's been nothing short of bad this season and the ratings reflect that: the latest episode earned 1.0 demo, that's SPN's ratings! I will give it one more episode but if it annoys me again, I will drop the show, I really don't need to feel this irritated week after week.
