I'm watching NCIS with the New Orleans spin-off staring Scott Bakula.:master: There seems to be quite a few shows set in the American South recently.

By the way, I watched the pilot episode of Surviving Jack (a family sitcom starring Christopher Meloni) last night.

I'm sold. :)

I'm personally most interested in Crossbones.
 
The How I Met Your Mother ending bothered me, but I wasn't quite sure why until I read what this person had posted on Facebook. He hit the nail on the head.

I could have lived with the mother dying. I could have lived with this. I could have been happy. I could have made it work.

But you decided to take it one step further.

You decided to ruin Ted Mosby. You decided to turn Ted Mosby from a hopeless romantic telling an amazingly beautiful story of how he met the mother of his children into some elaborate ploy to ask his kids' permission to pursue Robin again. Robin. THE SAME WOMAN WHO MARRIED HIS BEST FRIEND AND WHO TOLD TED SHE DID NOT LOVE HIM AND THAT THEY WOULD NEVER WORK OUT EVER BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT PEOPLE. By the way, way to break the bro code, Ted. You shattered Ted's character by convincing us he finally moved on from Robin. But no. Still pining after the same woman after 20+ years. Makes me physically ill.

But the worst thing....

You ruined The Mother and her story. You turned her death into a minor part, another hurdle Ted had to jump to finally reach Robin. We did not see ANY mourning from Ted for the death of his wife. We did not see their final moments together. We did not see the funeral. We did not hear any sadness from her kids. All we heard was "Oh by the way, the mother got sick and died, let's talk about Robin instead". Makes me absolutely sick to my stomach.

You ruined the magic. And for that, I will forever be disappointed.

Spot on review.

I kind of think the Wicked Witch is Cora and Rump's love child. I don't know how it would fit into the story line.
 
We've just started House Of Cards!

Also The Returned series 2 is soon apparently. Pretty excited for that - loved the first series. :)

A new series just started called Salem. Not surprisingly it's about Salem, witches and the witch hunts/trials. So far, I mostly like it.
