“Come Monday…” is a
weekly series that will involve a review of (or commentary about) websites,
movies, documentaries, television shows, sports, music, and whatever else may
tickle my fancy at the time. Be assured
that these reviews will be generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy
Buffett song “Come Monday.” This is
subject to change, however. In fact, I
would be most derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a
while. For rants promote change, and
change can be good—right? Therefore,
since good is generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the
parallel universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being
something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).
Just
in case you do not already know, [Bob Iger] is the CEO of [The Walt DisneyCompany]. One of the parts to Disney is
[ABC], and one of ABC’s new shows is [Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D]. Hence, the reason why Bob Iger has to be on the
blacklist for high crimes and treason against all who hunger and thirst after
good television shows to watch.
If
you were suckered into watching the pilot episode last week, you know that
there is not much more to be said, but for the benefit of those mercifully
spared such a fate, ABC’s Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was as bad as the
recent Iron Man movies have been good.
For the Iron Mans have been a delightful blend of awesome special
effects, strong storylines and self-effacing humor. Whereas, at least the pilot episode of the television
show was all about defecation, and you can take that to mean whatever you dare
to imagine (in a figurative sense).
Why
blame Bob Iger? After all, the
television show is a nightmare formed in the mind of [Joss Wheden], which I
find quite shocking. For we liked his
[Dollhouse], and loved his [Serenity].
Oh, and who doesn’t love his [Toy Story]?
Alas,
I suppose he was due a flop, and Bob Iger is the man who ultimately made it
happen (naturally-speaking, of course). For no one can convince me that
the CEO of the parent company has no say in what makes it on the air—regardless
of how independently-run ABC may be.
Besides, I have a hard time trusting someone who has an office with a fairly thick layer of pixie dust covering the furniture.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah, all of that is a matter of my opinion, and it may very well be wrong. For Arlynda wants to keep watching the show,
but with her being married to me, how could her judgment not be considered
quite questionable (at best)?
On
the other hand, we both absolutely loved NBC’s [The Blacklist], and neither one
of us are ashamed to admit that it was just on account of it starring [James Spader] that had us intrigued to begin with.
For he most certainly delivered.
Is
he not the most loveable evil genius since [Dr. Evil]? For even when Spader is playing a straight up
and down good guy, there is a rather ornery side to his nature that refuses to
stay in the shadows for very long at a time.
Oh
yeah, the things that he could do to Bob Iger…
I sure hope they write it into a script, but if they don’t, I have every
confidence in Spader saving the day for us who hunger and thirst after good
television shows to watch week after week.
It
is arguable that The Blacklist is a rip-off of [The Silence of the Lambs] and
related movies, but how is that a bad thing?
Be afraid, Bob Iger. Be very
afraid.
