jude_rookDay 07 - Least favorite episode of your favorite TV show
Zubrovnik’s Ghost (Mission: Impossible) OR No Time to Die (Columbo)
Zubrovnik’s Ghost - on a show that featured awesome surprise endings, they picked one of the tiredest old twists known to Hollywood.
No Time to Die - instead of a fascinating mystery, we get a standard made-for-TV cop movie, one that happens to have Columbo in it. Based on a novel by mystery great Ed McBain, not that it helps.
I’m going to break the tie in “favor” of No Time to Die, because the MI series was in its first season and its people were still finding their sea legs. Columbo had been at it for much longer. Sure, I understand if they wanted a change of pace, but writing a script full of boring cliches is not the way to change anything!
Day 08 - A show everyone should watch
Hoarders. There are people who have a lot of junk lying around, and there are people who are pathological. This show is a fascinating look into the lives of some of the latter, and into how they function (or don’t function).
