On DOOL (Wed's ep), Constantine discovers that his "Pawn" card is
missing, and nearly loses it. But dumb Maggie offers to marry the bum,
to keep him 'in country'. [roll] (Constantine = JACKPOT!!) Meanwhile,
dumb Paulina busts out of the hospital, to rescue Chanel (which she does
- disappointingly, no Clyde is involved...), but Paulina irradiates
everyone in so doing!!

On GH (Tues' ep), basically nothing important happened at all. Though it
was revealed that Sonny and Brick did indeed have Agent John/Jagger
Cates roughed up. Meanwhile, Trina forces Josslyn and Dex to talk - they
look to be well on their way to getting back together.

I watched SURVIVOR where they had one of the wildest Tribal Councils.
They had a plan going in but Q threw that out by volunteering to be
voted out because he felt like the likely target shouldn't have been
targeted. Which ended up with yet another surprising vote that was a
blind side of the player being voted out.

What in the world was up with that council?!?  I was half asleep by the
end, but didn't they vote out the original target?

LOL. It was a crazy one thanks to Q. They did vote out the original
target of the one side, not the other. It looked like they had the
numbers to get Tiff out if she didn't play her idol and I wondered
when the craziness started if it was all an act to put Tiff at ease.
Turns out Q wasn't willing to vote out Tiff and was willing to
sacrifice himself instead for reasons I still don't get.

I also have to say deciding who to vote out based on how they play "hide
and seek" is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

That's Q for you. Though if you have no other reason to differentiate
between the players I've heard of worse ways to decide who goes. Q
just seems to be one of those players who will leap to a conclusion
and the stick with it as long as he can.

 
In addition I watched an older animated flick JUSTICE LEAGUE VS TEEN
TITANS. In this film we have Trigon again trying to escape and rejoin
with Raven. In this film he manages to get influence on Earth and use
that to take over members of the Justice League. Things go badly until
they go better.

I have several animated DC films waiting to be watched.  Normally I
would watch them as soon as I got them, but I've developed a bit of a
backlog.

Yeah, I'm the same. Looking at a few Justice League movies I want to
work through. Thinking of doing the Lego JL movie next since it's
chronologically the next (at least in terms of production.)

What did you watch?

Sh?gun (FX) - "Chapter Nine: Crimson Sky" - Penultimate episode.  This
was an excellent episode.  I especially loved the sequence when Mariko
tries to leave.  "Kill him for me."  "It was an honor to die for you."
Next week better be an hour long all out battle or else!  That and
Blackthorne better finally get to sale his ship in battle!

I haven't watched any of this yet.

Fallout (Amazon Prime) - "The Radio" and "The Beginning" - Last two
episodes of the season.  As best I can tell, they answered all the
questions raised during the season.  They explained the truth behind the
vaults, what (and who) caused the apocalypse, how some people are
walking around hundreds of years after the war, and more.  It is really
refreshing to have a series wrap up all the mysteries by the end of the
season while leaving plenty of room for more stories next season.

Another one I haven't watched because I got stuck with the performance
in the first episode. Which is a bit odd since I am a huge fan of the
games. I'll get to it eventually, probably this weekend. It's just I
can see what is going to happen in the first episode so it is a bit of
a slog when the raiders are so obvious.
