Project Intro:
Well, things have not gone to plan. I gave myself a project for the 2016-2017 TV season. I was going to tweet every episode of my five favorite dramas and then gather those tweets into post form, sprinkling in more commentary here and there. The only one I managed to finish was The Walking Dead S7E8, which took weeks, as is the usual for me when I get hung up on one amazing episode. So, the whole summer passed me by and I had nothing to show for it, and now season 5 of The Blacklist starts tonight. But I'm not giving up on this project. I'm just turning it in past due, and making sure I don't have a two-season pile up by next May. Good luck to me.
For no reason at all, our DVR decided to skip The Blacklist premiere! Had the room, had the tuners, there were no conflicts, it was set to record, and it just never started. So, I started (the intense as ever) season 4, by missing out on the first 14 minutes of important details. I caught up six days later, but that's where my troubles keeping up with this season of TV began, right at the beginning.
