I'm used to my nursing students disappointing me so I wasn't too surprised at the 74% class average on the easiest test they're getting. What DID disappoint me was my biology pre-meds. I'm going to cut the beginning chapters out next year and should have done it this year. That said I had two of them score at 50% for stuff they've had in three other classes and one slept thru the alarm and missed it. The class is at 11:30.

So everything premiered today. Let's see what's what

The Big Bang theory - Utterly disappointing.

Gotham
Ugh this didn't do it for me. Or should I say Gordon's storyline didn't. I was fine with most everything with one giant caveat. Gordon killing a mobster while robbing him for the Penguin? Really? Thanks. You don't come back from that. So thanks for ruining him.

Also What the hell is up with Barbara? I know Arkham is a pit but why is she the ONLY female inmate locked in with a bunch of men. Like this would ever happen. Gotham is starting on shaky ground.

Minority Report Just not a Tom Cruise fan. That said, I liked this. I liked it rather a lot. I liked the female lead and Dash though he looks too young to be who he is unless I misheard something. They were freed in their 20s and I got the impression the Pre-cogs ended years ago. He didn't look 30ish to me. I was annoyed she put her weapon down in that stand off. Why oh why do they always do that. On the flip side, she looks like she could be a real cop instead of a 90 lb model. I can see this getting a bit too soapy for me but right now I liked it.

I skipped Castle figuring i can see that online if I want to bother. I tuned into Blindspot instead. And yay for her looking like she could have been a SEAL. She needs more muscle for that really but again it doesn't look like you could snap her like a twig.

Even bigger yay for her having TROUBLE fighting those two men. I am SO tired of shows where this tiny, twig of woman lays out a huge man with one blow. This looked like a real, chaotic fight and I appreciated that. Also huzzah for NOT dropping your fucking gun in a stand off.

Now the idea that someone tattooed all this on her and it will solve crime IS a huge stretch to be honest but it harkens back to the Illustrated Man. I don't see how anyone could orchestra all those crimes and why in the world would he? But still I'm interested.

As for the neurological damage someone studied amnesia and talked about it in the proper terms so kudos.

ANd as I said I liked the new Who but man I have friends who hated it. They want it to be DARK. And I'm like was Dr. Who ever super dark? Not since I've been watching it. Serious yet but not dark. I'm like just go watch almost any other SF on tv right now for that and leave the Doctor with some levity.

Also I tried watching Breakfast with Baker and I still don't like the old Who....

wildrider this album I'm listening to by James and the Wild SPirit, Hearts+Knives might be up your alley. Not sure if it's actually Americana but it has that sort of feel to me
