Hockey + TV
Jun. 7th, 2015 04:53 amYesterday was not a productive day *sigh* But today I'm going swimming and to see Mad Max, and hopefully I'll manage to do some work too, even though I didn't have enough sleep.
Tampa Bay won 4-3 against Chicago! I told myself I would watch one game in this SCF and this one was the earliest, all others start at 8pm. It was a good game! Fast, entertaining, plenty of opportunities on both ends. Those two top lines, the triplets line and Saad-Toews-Kane (for most of the game), wow. Especially Kane sometimes looks like a magician on the ice. A game where many of the goals were "lucky" deflections, but that happens sometimes. (Chicago's 3rd goal was definitely goalie interference imo.) It was tense until the last second!
Series is at 1-1, now going to Chicago. I hope Bishop will be okay! I'm resigned to the fact that the Hawks are the favorites in this series and I'll be okay with it if they win, but I still hope Tampa can do it. I want an East Coast team to win the Cup again (Boston barely counts and that was four years ago.)
I started watching Sense8 yesterday. Because of the way the episodes were listed and I wasn't paying attention I watched episodes 1, 3, 5, and 7. That explains why certain scenes were missing! Though I didn't realize until after I finished 7, I thought the jumps in the storylines were deliberate and (almost) everything made sense. Hey so there should be a better explanation for what happened to Nomi at the beginning of episode 3, cool. I thought about going back to watch 2, 4, 6 now, but I'm so curious what happens next I might wait until I've finished the season.
I really like the show so far! I like the characters: Sun is probably my favorite, followed by Capheus, Nomi + Amanita, Kala, and Riley. I like how they discover what they can do and I'm looking forward to them figuring out how to communicate and use it better. Among them they have a pretty diverse skillset, should be useful.
On a friend's recommendation I watched the first episode of Hustle, but I didn't like it a lot. It was recommended to me as "similar to Leverage, only better", and I see the similarity but I thought it was worse. One big thing that annoyed me was that the show uses the smurfette principle: the main crew only has one woman, and she's "the lure", introduced as the seductress. No thank you. I want better, and I can get better. ( Spoiler for plot ) The only character I really liked was Mickey Stone, and probably a big part of that is that the actor is very attractive.
It did make me want to rewatch Leverage soon :) After I finish Sense8, of course.
