Fall TV: Last Resort

   Huh. SO, the political debate that second time was just for the veep candidates, and there's still one more debate for the presidential candidates to go? Alright. But, uh, any political commentary I may have right now would be stale by the time the debates are through. The longer it goes on. But, it's less likely to be wrong, with all that hindsight. I'd rather be right than timely. I had a dream that I was on the Late Late Show telling Craig Ferguson about all the Sherlock Holmeses lately, so... I guess that's a sign? A sign that I care about this enough to do this thing. Fall TV it is then.

   Three episodes into serieses, and, though it isn't really safe to gauge overall qualities of shows yet, we can at least get a general feel for where they're going. Now that we've seen more of Last Resort, which already looked pretty good, we can see that it's better than too good to last. If that makes sense at all. You know the Firefly Effect, wherein people are afraid to get into a show because they know that it'll be too good to last, thus creating a self-fulfilling prophecy? It's better than too good to last. Instead of fleeing like rats from a ship because they don't want to get involved in characters and plotlines that have the chance of being canceled anyway, people honestly don't seem to care this time around and are sticking with it nonetheless. Hopefully that does something and goes somewhere.
