beccaelizabethYes, I know I said I wouldn't watch them after last week.
But I was bored.
Well, now I'm bored with a side order of slightly sick.
The 4400 was impressive for all the wrong reasons. They managed an entire episode without advancing the plot or characters one bit. Nothing happened. In many minutes.
Deeply boring.
Hex... well, first the protagonist uses her power for evil, then flirts with her lesbian room mate but doesn't mean it, then said room mate calls her on being a selfish control freak bitch. Which, so far, yes.
So right around when we're wondering why we're supposed to care about her at all, they have the lesbian die for her.
Yes, they killed the lesbian.
And not just killing a character who happens to be lesbian. Oh no, this was a nice clear lesbian love = death thing.
I'd be angry but I'm busy feeling ill.
She was killed by the evil thing, not by forces of nature or innocence defending itself. So you could call that small progress.
And now, apparently, she is a ghost.
I have no idea where they are going with that.
I'm also feeling massively uncertain about a ghost plot I had planned. Because I don't want it to look like that.
So, basically - TV bad. I shall attempt to ignore it.
In other news, I can apparently read a chapter of book in two commercial breaks.
Methinks commercials are getting waaaay too long.
