So I watched: soaps: Y&R - Thur's and Fri's ep's. Not much happened here, though I did enjoy Filis[sic!] giving Billy a hard time about being with Sally (what does Filis[sic!] have against Sally?!). Cricket (who's leaving town anyway!) becomes convinced that there's more to Filis being run off the road than there appears. I also enjoyed the look on the Mustache's face when Jack revealed he had reassembled the pieces of Glaucade(sp?) after Victor had sold them off - I don't think ol' Vic was expecting that!... Claire reveals to Summer that she won't be the nanny anymore as she's going to work for Nikki, and then Summer passive-aggressively reveals it to Kyle before Claire can! Summer does not like this relationship!! Aunt Jordan is outraged - I wasn't sure if it was because Claire was with Kyle, or because Claire is going to work with Nikki... Lioness (Pee+) - Last 4 episodes of season #1. This ended about how I expected it to, right down to the revealed lesbian angle. This was a well-made and entertaining military/spy thriller, but it definitely felt like it contained all the usual Taylor Sheridan "tropes". I did like how all the "pol" characters (e.g. Morgan Freeman) got cold feet when it looked like Joe's team was actually going to successfully kill the target - as Joe's boss's boss pointed out, if they didn't want they guy dead, he shouldn't have been on the target list!! I also liked how Cruz dispatched the target (and the groom) with ruthless efficiency, but didn't like how she whined and blubbered about it the whole time, esp. afterwards - Joe should have had Cruz busted down to buck private after that! BTR claims season #2 is better than season #1, so I am looking forward to tacking that next. I looked around after "Lioness", and it looks like about a half-a-dozen movies (at least!) have come to streaming over the last couple of weeks that I now have to find the time to watch! What did you watch?
