I was in the pool!!
It truly is an amazing show. I have two episodes left to go and I'm blown away by it. I knew it was supposed to be good, but it is just remarkably good.

If you are younger than 89 and don't know about lemon party, which I think has been on the internet since the internet began, I don't know what to say.Jim Jeffries was really funny on @Midnight last night.
The panels have been good this week.
I do, however, not forgive the show for making me google lemon party. DO NOT DO IT (ESPECIALLY DO NOT AT WORK)
CBS is working on a new comedic thriller series called BrainDead, which sees Congress and plenty of other Washington DC staffers having their brains eaten by invading aliens, causing the government to stop working. Here’s where your uncle says, “Kind of like the government today, am I right?”
And now news has surfaced of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Death Proof and Smashed star Mary Elizabeth Winstead joining BrainDead in a lead role. Get more details on the show below!
The series is described as The Strain meets The West Wing, which sounds like an interesting tone for a show. And it comes from a surprising source with The Good Wife creators/executive producers Robert and Michelle King.
The Wrap has the casting update on the series which already has a 13-episode order from CBS and will premiere in the summer of 2016.
...
Winstead’s characters is described officially by EW as “the daughter of a Democratic political dynasty who left Washington, D.C. to become a documentary filmmaker, but is pulled back into the family business when her brother, the senate majority whip, needs her help running his senate office.” As a Capitol Hill staffer for the first time, she learns the government has stopped working and then learns of the brain-eating aliens.
...
Ridley Scott is involved in the series as an executive producer.
The network announced on Tuesday that it is developing Trapped, a half-hour series that centers on a murderous cult targeting a rich family. Kunis (That ’70s Show, Black Swan) and Zombie (House of 1,000 Corpses, Halloween) will serve as executive producers, with the latter also sitting in the director’s chair.
Trapped — which takes place over one night — is being created and written by Joey Slamon (Arrested Development).
Author and horror icon Clive Barker is going from raising hell to developing a television series as he?ll be adapting his 1987 horror/fantasy novel ?Weaveworld? into a modern-day drama for The CW.
As reported by Deadline, the writer and filmmaker will executive produce the series written by ?Warehouse 13?s? Jack Kenny, who will also executive produce.
In the updated, television version of the ?Weaveworld? premise, an app designer and a young pastry chef enter a mythological world through a portal in an old Savannah mansion and must join together to fight an epic battle against evil forces attempting to control the magical world. There have been many attempts to adapt the novel over the past two decades but its scope and setting were considered too expensive for television. However, with the technology of today ? and what we?ve seen on current CW shows like ?The Flash? ? television?s prior limitations are no longer a concern
This can be good dammit!!

I watched The Muppet show. I didn't think that it was the best thing ever, but I didn't hate it. I am sticking with it for the time being. Seeing those characters together makes me happy.![]()
I think Blindspot will end up on top at the end, even though the premise is both completely ridiculous and a blatantly engineered merger of The Blacklist with Prisoner Break. Both leads are quite good and the reveal at the very end was great. The action is pretty good and the show has such a similar tone to The Blacklist that I would not put a crossover past NBC.
I'm waiting from Chicago Fire and P.D. also, but I would really like to see a crossover with Criminal Minds and Rissoli and Isles. I know it won't happen, but I would love to see Jane interact with Dr Spencer Reed.I'm probably the only one here who is really looking forward to Chicago Fire, PD. Dick Wolf is an evil genius. I can see a 4 show crossover with Law & Order SVU as well. That will be nuts.
This and the Player are my two new favorite shows, mostly because it's the two guys from Strike Back. (haven't even watched the player yet)I think Blindspot will end up on top at the end, even though the premise is both completely ridiculous and a blatantly engineered merger of The Blacklist with Prisoner Break.

This fall, Sullivan Stapleton and Philip Winchester both find themselves starring in profoundly stupid new shows for NBC.
On the one hand, this seems appropriate. The duo spent the past four years playing brothers in arms on Cinemax's "Strike Back," a slick, fun, but at times fairly silly action series that wraps up in a few weeks. "Strike Back" was many things, but smart was rarely among them. (This final season kicked off with a terrorist act that wouldn't have happened if Stapleton and Winchester's boss had literally just said the phrase "He has a bomb in his bag" on one of about seven or eight different occasions.)
