On Tax Day (I took care of my taxes a month ago!), I got through very
little TV:

soaps: DOOL - Mostly Holly/NuTate stuff, with Brady, NuTheresa and
Nicole trying to pour cold water on it. But EJ double-crosses Stefan
(kind of disappointed he is still around - I figured Stefan had been
written out...), and then Brady, so really hoping EJ gets majorly taken
down soon... Meanwhile, Julie continues to ruin Johnny's and Chanel's
honeymoon... until Chanel goes missing in the snow! (I still think this
is where Clyde is hiding out.)
    I didn't even get to GH yesterday...

Aside from that, later in the evening, I left "Thor: Ragnarok" on as
background noise - while chock full of cameos, the movie is just OK.

 It was okay with Korg being the best part of the movie.
 

You're probably right.  How did Korg mess up directing the sequel so badly?
This dropped the other week:

What did you watch?

 Only thing I managed to watch was TRACKER which was just okay as
described in the previous day's WDYW.
 What did you watch?

I watched:
Fallout (Amazon Prime) - The Target" - Episode 2.  Episode 1 had three main characters, "Lucy" (Ella Purnell) a young woman from the Vault where a 1950s/1960s style American civilization survived the apocalypse; "The Ghoul" (Walton Goggins) who was a pre-war famous actor and somehow hundreds of years later he's still alive, more or less; and "Maximus" (Aaron Moten) who basically stole a mech suit of armor.  Episode 2 has the three characters converging on a small town with each taking an interest in a mysterious man played by Michael Emerson.  I know playing a mysterious character who knows more than he's letting on is a stretch for Emerson, but somehow he pulls it off.
"The Head" - Episode 3 - This felt like filler with no real character development or movement, but just stuff happening to fill the running time.
