I am really surprised that no one other than me has mentioned "Travelers". Incredible show and well written.

MacKenzie Porter is a peach and I talked about Jadyn Wong earlier in another thread and Mac is also from my old stomping grounds of Medicine Hat Alberta. I remember talking to her once and saying "I know a family named Porter in The Hat". She said "ya those are my parents" ... Oh ya, talking about American Idol earlier as well, her brother Kalan won Canadian Idol in 2004 and she toured with him back then and she is an accomplished musician. |

Since I seem to be on an American Idol theme in the last few posts ...
ABC brings back American Idol after FOX canceled it Perhaps sensing some general need for respite – from unpleasantness, cruelty, bullies – ABC resurrects an American Idol that’s cozily familiar, reassuring even, with the franchise’s recognizable markers intact and the spikier inclinations of previous incarnations left behind. A trio of new judges – R&B legend Lionel Richie, pop diva Katy Perry, and country boy Luke Bryan – already seem a unified, chummy bunch. Whether that’s a good thing depends on your taste for unified, chummy bunches. Don’t expect any Simon & Paula friction or Mariah & Nicki fireworks this season. But the other Idol signifiers are mostly present, with a brief narrated introduction by Carrie Underwood reminding of glory days, and the unruffled tones of host Ryan Seacrest putting aside all bother from the outside world. And yes, there’s still incessant talk of journeys and dreams, montages of young hopefuls and teary rejects. At this point, even the surprises are expected. Since Fox first aired the contest in 2002, we’ve long since come to know that some big, belting voices will erupt from small packages, some sexy, growly croons will come from the meekest of meek. The judges’ shocked expressions suggest merely that they haven’t been paying attention all these years. The show’s Sunday night debut – a two-hour episode, made available to critics in advance – is, as the faithful will know, a pre-taped audition round-up (New York, Los Angeles, Nashville), so we certainly don’t yet know how the judges will interact during the live episodes – and, more importantly, what niches they’ll inhabit in critiquing contestants. But from this episode, we can speculate that we’re in for a rather gentle, very un-Simon-like season. “You’re interesting and brilliant beyond your years,” says the affable Bryan, after the requisite kooky girl in newsboy cap and spectacles sings a perky pop song about being a “cog in the 21st Century machine.” Adds Richie, “I’m fascinated by your brain.” Perry does fine in the middle panel spot typically reserved for shoulder-to-lean-on divas, her worshipful followers thrilled at an up-close look and kindly word. She’s edgier than Jennifer Lopez, earthier than Mariah Carey, and nowhere near as loopy as Paula Abdul. So far, at this early going, she’s the show’s brightest spot. Her shining moment in the premiere arrived when she dazzled an impossibly cherubic, rosy-cheeked first-time-in-L.A. farm boy (he comes on stage to the whistled Andy Griffith theme). He and Perry exchange a “Wig, Snatched” that suggests the kid’s not such a rube after all, and their bonding is all the sweeter for being lost on the other judges. “I think Katy is going to bring a lot of love to the table,” Richie says at one point, plotting a course. The former Commodore himself is positioned as the voice of experience, the one who can comfort a disappointed kid that’s just been told he needs to find his own identity. The Commodores were told the same, Richie offers, back when they sounded too much like Sly and the Family Stone. Bryan is at his country best with the same contestant, who immigrated from Congo at 10 with an abusive father and is now determined to “break the cycle” as he raises his own son. “Something about you is pretty dad-gummed inspiring,” the judge says. So, yeah, what would American Idol be without inspiring tales and aspirations, all packaged in backstory videos, nervous entreaties and elaborate vocal runs? All that, the faithful can handle. But gentle let-downs and commiserations don’t make for drama – and Idol needs drama. After watching so many soft “really sorry but you’re just not there yet” dismissals, viewers might feel the same about the show. After a montage of just those rejections, Bryan says of a judge’s lot, “It’s tough on the brain,” while Richie commiserates, “It’s killing me.” Eventually someone will need to stop killing with kindness, and who that someone will be remains to be seen. The show hasn’t indulged in Simon Cowell-level viciousness in ages, and won’t likely go back anytime soon, but there’s plenty of room for the clinical vivisections perfected by Harry Connick Jr. or even the bizarre rantings of Steven Tyler. In the first episode, the only real bite comes from a bombastic, shrieking contestant rejected with undeserved charity. Out of the judges’ earshot, the over-singing belter snipes, “I can take it down, dumbasses.” American Idol premieres Sunday, March 11, at 8 pm ET on ABC. A second audition episode airs the following night, same time. |

"Timeless" made it's return last night with a good episode that saw the gang reunited after a trip to 1915 in WWI. Their search takes them to 1950's USA next week.
They really twisted the story lines around with familiar characters and added some punch to the plot of good verses evil ... I highly recommend this show to all, especially those into time travel themes. |

Season 2 was awesome.
I actually came across it one day looking for something to watch and saw Season 2 Episode 4 online on tor. Got it, watched it, got hooked, and had to go back and find Season 1 and the other three Season 2 episodes plus the new ones a they came on each week after that: http://veterperementour.ru/showpost.p...&postcount=551 It took me several weeks to get all the Season 1 episodes in 720p. They were not being seeded and then ... it took me 7+ months to watch the entire Season 1 and 2. http://veterperementour.ru/showpost.p...&postcount=621 I have never heard of Shohreh Aghdashloo until The Expanse. She is a damn good actress. The one who plays the Mars Marine, she is cute too. Just came across this show on tor.... http://imdb.com/title/tt6816530/ Looks interesting. Part 1 and 2 are available now. Part 3 next week around this time and Part 4 on 3/28. |

I binge watched over a 3 days period, all 9 episodes of the Dutch TV mini-series Tabula Rasa http://imdb.com/title/tt5197860/ What a fantastic and suspenseful horror show. Every episodes has clues meant to either give you pieces of the puzzle to solve the big mystery or to throw you off. Each time a major revelation is unveiled, I didn't see it coming and I would never had guessed it. When everything is revealed in the 9th and final episode, I still didn't get anything correctly and I am usually good at solving puzzles in mystery movies. It's now available on Netflix. 5/5 |

^^^^^
They had a good idea but can't execute it properly. Bad acting, poor script, illogical situations (example: you see a naked woman walking down the street and you don't call the police or even run up to her and ask her if she is okay?). Furthermore the show is called Siren but the story is about Mermaids. Did no one associated with this show did any research? They are 2 different things like apples and oranges. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren_(mythology) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mermaid Too bad! This could had been great! |
