Pokemon Hoopa

Image
 Moral of movie: You can't destroy family.  It was battle between Hoopa and itself to understand family. I seen the trailer and said I got to watch the battle among the legendaries from different generations like Lugia (generation 2); Rayquazza and the Eon Twins (generations 3) plus Groudon and Kyorge.  When you got legendaries fighting legendaries, next logical conclusion was to pit multiple legendaries against each other and mega evolve them and etc. Team Rocket didn't do their mottos in the movie.  If they did, I would fast-forward since I'm watching online since I know who they are.

Observations

Image
 Police procedurals tended to have newbies joining the team Numb3rs:  David Sinclair (season 1 - black guy); Colby Granger (season 2); Megan Reeves (season 2 - woman) CSI: NY: Lindsey Monroe (season 2 - woman) after Aiden left FBI: International: Cameron Vo (season 1 - woman) Numb3rs ' female cast tended to not stick around behavior analyst (Terry Lake) left at end of season 1 left she was replaced by Megan Reeves (who left in season 4) Liz Warner joined in season 3 but I felt like her actress was guest cast early on Amita was only one to stick around but why do I feel like she was guest cast early on as well I always liked foreign humor and slapstick humor and sex jokes.   FBI: International had foreign detective from season 1, episode 7 saying "Asylum?  What is that - an energy drink?"  Creative joke.

Smallville - Ambush review

Image
How much it's important Chloe working watchtower meant to Oliver ,,, it must be tough walking away from it especially if he has a big target on his back.  Correct me if I'm wrong?  I thought Oliver had money so of course paparazzi would be all over him.  He and Clark both had tracking tattoos as well, so shouldn't Clark stay away unless he got tracked to the Watchtower.

Numb3rs

Image
 Numb3rs had interesting dialogue in the police procedural "common sense to not wave stick in front of crocodile" (Ash's Totodile biting Ash on the head - it's on my social media accounts - should help you remember) calculating stopping distance from mass and velocity (Charlie described as math problem while I thought it was physics problem too) from the train crash episode ("36 hours") was talking about script writing software which one of the leads, Rob Morrow, has been working on ("Where's Credit Due") For "36 Hours", I pointed out a train crash did happen in real life in California - Metrolink crash in 2008 in September.  Airing an episode about a train crash when a train crash happened in real life is probably not good idea, so the episode was pushed several episodes later.  One of the actors did film a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode.  I wished my mom who passed away understood trains - like Amtrak - have long stoppin...

Warrime Farm

Image
Wartime Farm  showed people were used to government control of life during WW2 - rationing and over agricultural and propaganda - so of course government control after the war like health insurance made sense didn't ration vegetables and bread during the war  is that why vegetarians and vegans took off after the war?

Emergence

Image
Emergence was about police chief Jo Evans finding a girl, Piper, after a plane crash.  It turned out Piper and another main character, Benny, were robots / synthetic organism.  I rewatched the season and didn't find it shocking that Benny was synthetic because know what NTSB report in the pilot episode going to say (mapping pollution, etc) wanted to talk to Piper (in 2 MG CU BID ) know Piper robot (he said "I do" when Jo said "piper robot?  I don't believe you" in 2 MG CU BID ) wanted Piper to join him and Helen won't kill Piper (in  American Chestnut )   It's not outright stated, but I think Piper's "parents" were in the SUV in the pilot episode looking to kidnap Piper and later died.  Kindred, Emily (she created Piper to be an image of her when young), and Helen (she wanted Piper's abilities) were after Piper.

Now You See Me 2

Image
 Merritt served as the distraction while Jack stole the chip.  Allen said he seen the Horsemen before and verified it by going to the Eye's headquarters, where he seen them again.  I felt like Atlas didn't need Dylan, but he changed his mind when Dylan rescued him from Walter.   I felt like the Horseman stole from the Eye.  Were Walter and Arthur Tressler part of the Eye?
