Monday Blurbs ~ Ninth Edition.

Hi all; it's Monday again! *rubs hands together and grins* Ooh, I wonder what my family and I watched this weekend?

Okay, on Friday we watched a couple re-run episodes of Psych which was tons of fun {sorta} although they weren't my favorite episodes. One of them was the episode where Shawn and Gus get a mysterious email inviting them to a cinnamon festival in a dinky little creepy town no one's ever heard of before. Needless to say, someone turns up dead and in between eating plenty of cinnamon pie, the goofy duo bounce around town trying to solve the case and end up uncovering several dirty secrets and almost becoming toast when someone predictably locks them in the library and sets it on fire. still, it was quite entertaining and the whole cell phone reception bit was hilarious!

On Saturday or, at least, I think it was Saturday, we watched a re-run of the pilot for the new show Terra Nova since I'd missed the first twenty minutes when it first aired. That show is interesting, certainly. In a futuristic opening scene {it's suppose to be 2149 or something like that and the air is all unbreathable, etc. etc. think Star Wars} we are introduced to the Shannon family. Jim Shannon is a cop, Elisabeth is a highly educated doctor, their firstborn Josh is a rebel teen with a chip on his shoulder and a tender heart, Maddy is a teenage genius with a thing for math, and Zoe is the illegal third child and sweetheart of the family. When they are caught with the illegal third child, Jim gets thrown in jail. Not too surprisingly, his wife gets him out and they hightail it through a time crack with a bunch of other people to prehistoric times where a colony {Terra Nova} is starting to set down roots and start over again. It has potential but the previews for the next episode have me wary; I'll probably have to keep the remote handy.

And yesterday on Sunday my Dad, sister and I watched a couple episodes of The Legend of the Seeker. A Tv series much too overrated for what it is that originally aired between 2008 and 2010; there is nothing unpredictable about it. A mysterious woman {who is actually a witch with the most absurd wardrobe} crosses the magical ancient boundary and enters Richard Cypher's world with shattering results. Everything he ever knew or believed gets turned upside down when he is told he is a legendary seeker dude who will take out the demonic {red flag warning right there} evil dude. With his father dead and his brother {along with a deal of other nasty characters} out to get him, Richard teams up with a crazy wizard guy and the mysterious witch girl before crossing the boundary and setting out on his quest to change the world and defeat the villain. I was not at all impressed by the wizard, the girl {every time she ran through the woods, I kept wondering if she'd pop out of her dress *rolls eyes*} or all the magic and silly looking CGI effects but I did like Richard's character; he genuinely wants to make a difference in his world. He just teamed up with the wrong side.

And that is what we watched over the weekend. Not much. Anyway, catch ya later!
