It's not.
Just because it doesn't meet your 6 degrees of separation from Homicide, doesn't mean you have to hate it.

Also, have you been keeping up with Brooklyn Nine-nine?

No, thats one I watch with the wife and our schedules havent matched up. And when they do we've been trying to get through Jessica Jones.

I believe so, I think that the master has had the old ancients sent over via box and he will do the same to them.

I watched the first season of this. It was cheap and bad. Especially the finale. Is the second season any better? Honest question.

Not a ringing endorsement, the second to last ep was good. Watching the finale tonight.

I've still got 4 episodes to go in this season, but I have to wait for my wife to be free before I can watch as she casually watched the last few and is now interested

So that nuclear blast killed absolutely nobody. That makes sense.

Just finished watching this - ummmm yeah, lot to take in. And like other's have said - there's serious problems with that nuke not killing any of them. If only the people in Hiroshima had a brick wall to hide behind...
