Lost Girl 2.22:
( spoilers )
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries 1.6: This one was really fun! I mean, they've all been fun, but this one especially. Though, I apparently love theatre ghost and 20~ year old mystery plots? Though I think I've mostly encountered those in movies and shows, not books. I was a bit iffy on the B-plot and its "We'll have Chinese characters! Naturally we will imply that they're opium dealers!" but I think the show did avoid the worst of that stereotype by the end. Also, it let Phryne have another random fling. (I'm watching 2 shows in which the heroine is regularly allowed to have sexual relations with people other than a regular significant other on any level resembling what an endless string of male leads have and without a hint of narrative shame or punishment. One is a show about a bisexual succubus and it seems to be trying to singlehandedly level out that playing field. The other is this show.) I continue to be greatly amused by Phryne's trying to "help" Hugh with his courtship of Dot.
ep 1.7: This one was kind of dull. I was excited early on when it started having Phryne's backstory and it was scandalous and bohemian, but I ended up not caring for here it went and the episode overall was rather dull. Hopefully the next episode will go back to the fun of early episodes.
Missing 1.1-1.4: Missing is about Becca Winstone ,a CIA operative who retired 10 years ago who goes to Italy when her son goes missing and discovers CONSPIRACIES and DANGER and promptly revelas herself to be absurdly, superhumanly badass on John Reese levels. I'm waiting for a scene where she walks into a bar full of armed thugs and walks out without a scratch. I kid you not. it's basically about her being hardcore and badass and making everyone (well, all the men...we could use more women in prominient roles instead of supporting) dance to her tune through sheer willpower. The first 2 episodes have an annoying number of comments about how she's nicer and mellower now that she's a mother, which would be rather annoying even without the fact that they haven't seen her in 20~ years and a decade of retirement. I don't know about you, but I assume a lot of things can change a person in 20 years besides giving birth. Thankfully, those comments evaporated in the 3rd and 4th episodes, and it's all fun and games from then on, and even the abducted son is considerably more endearing than I expected him to be. It's a rather absurd show and has lots other "time/technology/the human body doesn't work that way...you do remember you got shot and almost drowned 2 days ago, don't you?" but I'm finding that very hard to care about.
( spoilers )Nikita 2.18: Every once in a while, this show puts out an episode that seems determined to outdo every other episode in the series with lesyay. This was one of those episodes.

Once Upon A Time 1.18: Well that was unfortunately predictable and rather disappointing.
