I had to finish a pestiferous online training yesterday, so I only got 
through two things on TV:

Fallout (Prime) - "The Trap" (ep. #1.6). No Norm or Vault 33 this episode.
    At first, Maximus wants out of the vault they're in, Vault 4, but 
Lucy wants to stay a while. However, Lucy begins investigating the vault 
after meeting its overseer (Chris Parnell), who is a cyclops!! Lucy is 
shocked and disgusted by what she finds. Meanwhile, Maximus is soon 
"bought off" by the comforts of life in the vault.
    The Ghoul is captured by some thuggy "lawmen" in the employ a 
self-proclaimed "president" of New California (Glenn Fleshler). But The 
Ghoul ultimately overpowers them. We also get some more flashbacks of 
him when he was Howard, before the bombs dropped. We are shown that 
Moldaver was also alive 200 years ago, and was organizing against 
Vault-Tec even back then.

Fatal Fixer Upper (LMN) - This was very "mid" for a Hybrid flick - it 
was far from their worst one (my vote for that is probably "The Wrong 
Real Estate Agent", which was so bad that AFAICT Lifetime has only aired 
it once, unlike nearly all of the other "Wrong" flicks that have aired 
multiple time since premiering!), but it still wasn't very good.
    One the plus side, Jasmine Aivaliotis did look supes-cute in this, 
despite one or two ridiculous outfits they put her in.
    Meanwhile, Dorian Gregory had, I think, all of two scenes in this, 
despite playing Aivaliotis father(?) - he doesn't show up at all 
throughout the end of the film, after Aivaliotis' character has figured 
out the original homeowner is a psycho! (You would think she would have 
told her dad about this!!)


What did you watch?
