And I'm caught up on Forever. It's a shame that it was canceled - and it's still being "shopped around" but I don't really believe that it'll find a new home, even though I actually signed the petition for it - but as my friend, [livejournal.com profile] yami_tai, said, I don't really see where they could take it next. I mean, not that they could NOT, of course they could, Henry's immortal, after all. But I liked the ending as it was, like one chapter closing - Abigail's - and another opening - Jo's. I'm content with it.

One thing, though, regarding Adam. I think Adam was right. After 2 000 years, he and Henry wouldn't be all that different, especially after what Henry did to Adam in the last episode. I mean, I get WHY Henry did it, but... the road to hell is paved with good intentions, as they say. And killing Adam would've been more merciful than what he actually did, so. It's like on Hannibal: Will and Hannibal are becoming closer and closer in their personalities as the show continues. And I think it would be the same with Adam and Henry.

It's Thanksgiving week in the US, so only a few shows are actually new. I decided to use is and catch up on some series of mine. My HDD's getting rather full and besides, my graphic card is kinda wonky, it looks like I might have to buy a new comp soon, so...

So, yeah, Forever it was! And now I'm all caught up. It's a sweet show. And funny. But... it's not all that gripping. I do like it, a lot, but honestly? I won't be too heartbroken when it gets canned at the end of this season - and it will get canned because its ratings are abysmal. We're lucky we got the back-nine order, considering the show's pulling around 1.0 demo. Ouch. I just hope we get some kind of closure.

My favorite parts? Henry's relationship with Abe - them trying to explain who they are to each other is always hilarious - and the Adam storyline. Now, Adam, that's one creepy, creepy guy *shudders* I'm curious where this arc is headed...

Forever 101+102: Suspend your disbelief and just enjoy the funny, that would be my advice. Because the show can be downright hilarious - the cops discovering Henry's sex toy collection, thinking it murder instruments? LOL! - and the relationship between Henry and Abe is incredibly sweet.

NCIS 1209: Loved this episode. But then, I love Smart!Tony. And Bishop's spoilers! )

NCIS: NO 109: I didn't care for this episode, especially in the light of current world events. But I did love the bit with Pride's spoiler! )

Scorpion 110: Again, I think you need to totally and completely suspend your disbelief to enjoy this show because the plots make little to no sense. This show is the new A-Team for me AKA just go with it and don't think about it too hard. Also, Europe's forests look nothing, absolutely nothing like California's woods. You can't just point at a group of trees in California and say, "Bosnia!"

The Flash 107: I wish they would tone down the shipping. I really don't care about how Barry always moans about Iris and can't stay away from her as the Flash. Dude, you had years to tell her. She has a boyfriend now. Grow a pair and grow up! It's a cool little show but not as gripping as I thought it would be.



Also, NBC decided NOT to pick up Constantine for a back-nine order, which means S1 will have only 13 episodes. S2 is still possible but the ratings are rather wonky. Yes, they are better than Hannibal's but H has international financing ergo it's cheap for NBC and it's a critical darling. C not so much. Just a heads-up, folks, since I dropped the show.

Despite mediocre ratings, ABC gave Forever a back-nine order, which means, we'll be getting at least 22 episodes this season! Link. I don't expect a S2 pick-up after that, the ratings are really bad, but I hope the writers will be smart enough - unlike those of The Tomorrow People! - not to end the season on a cliffhanger with fingers crossed for a pick-up. That's selfish and unfair to the viewers, IMHO. So yeah, I hope we get a passable ending, with some loose ends, sure, but an ending nonetheless!

Also, I decided to drop Stalker. I really don't like any of the characters and if I wanted to watch a show about cops chasing psychos, I would rather watch Criminal Minds where the team actually feels like a family, where they trust each other. Which reminds me, I should really watch it. Hm.

Also #2, what's going on with most shows this season? I mean, their ratings! Haven 0.2 demo. White Collar 0.4 demo. Covert Affairs 0.3 demo. Even Graceland - which I don't watch - 0.4 demo. What the heck? *hands* These shows - well, except for Haven which mostly got 0.5 demo - were all 'round the 0.8-1.0 series!
