Almost Human Episode 8/2
![]() This episode was a lot less Blade Runnery than the first episode, but I'm assuming from this that memories will stay as the central mass the rest of the series will gravitate around. Honestly I'm just glad to see the pilot wasn't just a trap to lead you into a subpar series like I find with so many modern tv pilots. Kennex is problematic. I get what they're trying to do with his character but he never feels fully cohesive. He's hurting, and he's angry and this makes him project a front, that part of his character works really well but he turns into Keanu Reeves in pretty much every scene he doesn't have some snappy one liner to play with. I know for a fact that Urban is a great actor, so this must be how the writers and the directors intended the character to be played but I just don't really understand the intention. Is it to show that the only person Kennex can open up to is a machine? SYMBOLISM! Because if so, then why do we have that horribly forced relationship with the female cop whose name I don't even remember as she just exists to be the ticked box love interest? Not only does it clash with the narrative - I mean he's literally being driven by his girlfriend in the last episode, finds out she betrayed him...and now he's trying to get into the tightest pair of ladies jeans in the office? Stay classy. Considering how great the connection is between Kennex and Dorian it feels misguided to try and shoehorn in a second relationship with so little chemistry. Dorian is the star of this show. Plus we can't forget those high concept production qualities, this show has a LOT of fun with the freedom of its setting and apparently huge budget, it's a treat. Especially after watching so much toku.

Well, things looked good for a bit, but Fox (the king of killing good shows) officially gave the axe to Almost Human.

Does the series actually have an ending? Because if it doesn't I may as well stop watching now then.

Watched the recent episode of Agents of Shield and damn it, that show has become good. The Cliffhanger was brilliant and I really loved the action this episode. The only thing I want now is for Deathlock to lose one half of his face

I was listening to the Preorder 66 Podcast, and they mentioned the G.I. Joe episode of Community, and aside from the pacing being a bit too fast. It was cool, and a lot of the jokes were funny.

Started watching Penny Dreadful, it's a very intriguing, supernatural/horror show. It's on Showtime, and just started with Eva Green, Timothy Dalton, and Josh Hartnett.

Drake and Josh
Just happened to catch the back half of an episode on tv. It was the Drake wrestles his current girlfriend episode. This show is super cheesy but I live that. Though there's a lot more sexual subtext then I remember. |

Finally caught up to the current episode of Bitter Blood, Sato Takeru's current drama and am now impatient for the next episode XP. A story about rookie detective Sahara Natsuki(Sato) who is assigned to the Ginza police department first division where his father, who left his family, works and they are forced to become partners.
Lot's of action and suspense, Cop dramas' are my favorite entertainment and there are only a few that have held me at the edge of my seat like this show. The cast is great, story is great, and it does a great job of mixing drama with laugh out loud humor. Watabe and Sato really have great chemistry as the father/son partners who have trouble communicating and seem to be complete opposites but in the end are so similar they end up being great partners on the field. When I heard Sato Takeru's agency was strongly against him reprising his role as Ryotaro in anything Kamen Rider related I was disappointed but watching him here I have to admit the agency made the right decision. I love Den-O, loved him as Ryotaro, but let's face it the Den-O movies after he left weren't masterpieces and perusing a serious acting career was a better choice.
