I finally did laundry last night. Two huge shopping carts worth.
I spent about $30 in complete laundry endeavors and I didn't have any help.
I washed warm and cold wear getting ready for the oncoming cold. I can't wait.
I did nothing else last night. Watched the premier of Standoff on Fox. I am watching too much TV, while I have a roommate. As soon as she is gone I won’t have cable again.
But really this New Series is good. It was funny and fun and it was great. The acting was amazing. I am also happy to see that the Boss in the series is an Afro-Cuban woman who plays an Afro-Latina woman. I don't know if she is meant to be Cuban but she said her last name with accent and everything. That is great. She isn't a janitor or lackey or anything degrading. She is a strong Captain or something to that level. I love it. She is also beautiful in my opinion and is married to Laurence Fishburne. She has acted before and I've enjoyed her work thus far.
Now the problem is this; How can they keep up the show and still make it interesting. Its not like a regular cop show where there is always a fresh crime. They are negotiators. How often is there a standoff in today’s society? How often are people taken as hostages? Yesterday alone there were two scenarios, which were both brilliant, but how long can they keep that up. And there comes in the internal struggles. Thus making the partners in the show, Lovers.
See I love House, but I also think the same about that. Yesterday what they did was make him right but not tell him. Next week it will come back. He wrote himself a prescription for some drugs, but will he use it? That is the thing that will bite us later. And he can walk and run now? Come on I liked him better as a cripple. But the truth is how many cases can he solve before running out of medical terms. So next week there is some type of poltergeist and gene anomaly. I guess it all will be happening as the kids hallucination. That’s fine and well but what happens after they run out of options?
What we see here are great shows that lack a sense of longevity. I'm okay with that. Just don't "jump the shark". Know when to back away with dignity and go down in history as the show that ended and everyone wanted more of. It just feels like the right thing to do.
