That was my guess as well. I think the Head of Security isn’t too bad, either.

Constantine and Gotham. One down one more to go off the air hopefully.

**American Pickers**. I swear that if I hear “man” as a linguistic quirk one more time, I will throw something at the screen. I’ve already screamed. Yet I keep watching.

Ah yes, him too. We don’t see him very much. Two characters that aren’t complete a-holes then.

I’m watching **Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt** just for the hell of it. I decided to view it as a little kid’s daydream, that’s how I’m getting through the stupidity.

On the subject of **GotHam** (capitalization intended), they just announced that Mr. Freeze and Joker will be two villains introduced in the next season. In an io9 comments thread, someone speculated that on a scene from an upcoming episode.

I don’t know why, but that’s the kind of thing that I find humorous, because it is entirely plausible, given the quality of writing on the show. That’s an example of the reason why I keep coming back.

Under The Dome

The best worst show on TV.

_A Town Called Eureka_.

My (19YO) daughter loves it, and I watch it just to scoff at the not-science and the fact that it is the most formulaic series I think I have ever seen.

In fact I always tease my daughter at the start of each episode now by saying “Oh wait, I think we’ve already seen this one - it’s that one where a bit of technology does the opposite of what everyone expects, and the sheriff is the only one who can fix it before it destroys the town”
