“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).
My
wife and I are both huge [Ashley Judd] fans.
Therefore, we just had to check out [Missing], which is about an ex-CIA
operative, [Becca Winstone], searching for her missing son.
Alas,
we only lasted through the first 20 minutes or so of the first episode. For the plot would make for a great movie,
but as a series? No, not so much. That is, unless you enjoy getting your
information one teeny tiny tidbit an episode.
Evidently,
there are not a lot of those like that out there. For according to [this], 20% of the audience
for the premier missed the second episode of Missing.
Maybe
I should go back to the beginning. Well,
at least to where we stopped watching.
For the show started out with quite a bang, and I mean that quite
literally. For while still on the phone
with [her husband], our lovely heroine hears him getting blown up as he goes to
start the vehicle he and their son were going to take to the airport in Vienna,
Austria.
We
are then fast-forwarded to when their son, [Michael], is asking for permission
to attend an architecture school in Rome, which I do not find disturbing at
all. For I can stare at building
for hours—especially if they are of an ancient design, and Rome has plenty of
them around. However, what I do find
disturbing is that Michael is an avid soccer player.
Now,
I do not want to sound like another conspiracy nut, but does anyone besides me
find it rather curious that the rapid moral decay of American society began at around
the same time as when soccer was being pushed as an alternative to
football? Yeah, you might want to look
it into this.
Oh,
and what’s the deal with [Sean Bean]?
For he didn’t last through the first season of [Game of Thrones], and
here he is getting blown up in the very first episode of Missing.
Okay,
getting back to the show at hand, Michael turned up missing within a few weeks
of being in Rome, and Becca went to see if she could find him. Needless to say, she didn’t. For that would have been the end of the
show—right? Nonetheless, she did find
where he had been staying, and after she killed the guy who had snuck into the
room after she did, we tuned out.
No,
it was not on account of excessive violence.
For we generally do not mind that sort of thing.
I
might add that it might have been on account of there not being any gratuitous
sex, but my wife might disagree…strenuously.
Yeah, I had better shut up before I get even farther behind.

I haven't seen this one but I must say they just don't make them like they used to. I would rather watch nothing but reruns of all the old shows than most of what is on today
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! You and Wade might find Netflix most enjoyable. For they have a great many old shows available on DVDs and streaming, and in an upcoming article, I will expound upon what I have discovered about ways to record programs for later viewing.
