Brooklyn Nine Nine:
The Defense Rests
Eva Longoria is only four years older than Andy Samberg, but for some reason when she popped up as Jake's love interest Sophia, I couldn't get over how much older I thought she was than him. Maybe the fact that she was playing a mother of three on Desperate Housewives near the same time he was the juvenile minded Rod in Hot Rod.
No matter though. Sophia has exited the building. Love conquers all and there are, I'm sure, plenty of cops married to defense attorneys but this obstacle was too much for Sophia and she broke things off. Poor Jake, but we could've all told you that was not gonna last forever.
I super love the back and forth between Holt and Kyra Sedgwick's Wuntch. Their interactions are full of loathing and a biting edge. You can tell the actors have a grand old time pretending to loath each other entirely.
Young Justice
I just started the second season. I had finished the first season last month but Netflix just has the first season which makes all the sense in the world- keep it up Netflix yeah! You're doing a bang up job!
I was so discombobulated by the season two opener- SO MANY NEW CHARACTERS! FIVE YEAR TIME JUMP! SO MUCH DRAMA WITHIN THOSE FIVE YEARS TO DISCOVER! SUPERMAN IS NICE TO SUPERBOY! SUPERBOY AND MISS MARTAIN BROKE UP!?!? Now she's dating a humanoid blow fish... everyone feels really awkward about it as I sit alone in my room and watch.
The show is very dynamic and it has some great ensemble work. I am only to the fourth episode but I feel overloaded by all the heroes. Especially the new teen recruits- so many, so little screen time. It's hard to give everyone equal attention though.
Bob's Burgers
Late Afternoon in the Garden of Bob and Louise
Bob's Burgers is always such a treat. I just love that the family dynamic is based on all of their flaws- the Belchers are the the most realistic family on TV!
Bob really wants a plot of soil in the community garden. He gets it by hiring Louise's arch nemesis (and probable future husband) Logan so he can put that he had a job on his college applications. Bob ignores his daughter's protests as he starts to grow an uncomfortable attachment to his garden plot.
It's when Logan's mother, a prissy over privileged soccer mom, comes in everyday to write Logan's personal essay and starts nit picking the way Linda is running the restaurant that Linda steps in and tells Bob he needs to give up his garden for his family's sanity.
I was really sad that Bob had to give up his garden! He loved it so much and it was his happy place! He truly was overjoyed to have it. I understand that he had to make the sacrifice of giving up the garden for the sake of his family- but they should've ended it with a much better solution so he could have it still. I suppose that is the fate of Bob Belcher though, never allowed to be really truly happy.
Agent Carter
This show is so important! Do you love Marvel but think there is a lack of diversity? Do you think Black Widow is awesome but not enough of a representation of the female characters of the world? You are so right and Agent Carter is your answer. If she succeeds so will the many other women in the Marvel-verse that haven't been given voices yet!
I just totally love everything about Agent Carter. I love the plotting, I love Hayley Atwell being a BAMF, I love Peggy's relationship with Jarvis (the most adorable spy-butler ever) and I love the COSTUMES!
