TV writer. Older than Zac Efron. Younger than Brad Ptt. My DVRs are always 99% full. My brain is always 100% full. :)

Thursdays on CBS are a double feature of mystery, comedy & touching moments.
#Matlock has nothing to do with the old series but #KathyBates is great.She's sly & sharp & humane.
#Elsbeth is a female #Columbo, a quirky oddball who's dismissed by murderous sophisticates she catches.

@beatexasCarl I want to know that too.

@AshrafGarda I want to now that

#LaBrea is goofy fun, sort of #Lost meets #TheLostWorld. Though nowhere near as good as #Lost. It has none of the depth of character of Lost. But it may grow into its premise.
Will there be #Neanderthals? #Denisovans? A Smoke Monster?

[Scott Anderson @TVWriterGuy]

Kevin & Madison make a surprisingly touching pair on #ThisIsUs.
Rebecca's descent into dementia is heart-breaking.
Randall should stop obsessing over his childhood & concentrate on his clearly bright future in politics.
Kate seems stuck in the past too & should enjoy her present.

#Poldark was wrapped up well after 4 seasons.
I'm ready for a flash-forward 20-25 years to Poldark the Next Generation to see all the adventures of Ross and Demelza's kids.

#StarTrekDiscovery had a very good season. Its first season was very rocky, the 2nd improved and the 3rd shone.
Besides Michael and Tilly the other star of the show has been Saru as he balanced being captain while dealing with his past.

[Scott Anderson @TVWriterGuy]

I'm very eager to see #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds. I think we're all in the mood for some good, old-fashioned #StarTrek now.

[Scott Anderson @TVWriterGuy]

#CaptainPike, #Spock & #NumberOne being on #StarTrekDiscovery has clearly been a backdoor pilot
They didn't spend all that money on an #Enterprise set or end the season with those characters just to drop it
@CBSAllAccess should just greenlight a #StarTrek The Early Years spinoff

[Scott Anderson @TVWriterGuy]

#ThisIsUs introduced a bevy of new characters in the season premiere.
And the show is flashing forward in time now as well as backward.
It's a lot to juggle & not every character gets equal focus but it all works & Rebecca's increasing dementia provides a real emotional punch.

[Scott Anderson @TVWriterGuy]

#TheWalkingDead is having a great year
The time jump has proved intriguing.
A new society is forming and the Alpha/Carol duel is riveting though killing Henry to fuel the plot seems like a waste.
Daryl & Carol's long-simmering bond adds interest.

With Elizabeth becoming president #MadamSecretary is basically giving us a fantasy version of what a #HillaryClinton presidency might've been like.
The impeachment story is like a funhouse mirror of real events with a fictional innocent president instead of a real-life guilty one

[Scott Anderson @TVWriterGuy]

Love #MadamSecretary morphing into Madam President.
It's a shame the show is ending.
#CBSAllAccess should pick up the show like they have with #TheGoodFght being a sequel series to #TheGoodWife.

#KillingEve has come roaring back. The scene in the #Paris hospital was savage. Hugo is a great addition, a sexy male #Moneypenny.
#FionaShaw & #ZoeWanamaker steal every scene they're in with sly, devious wit.
#SandraOh & #JodieComer are riveting in their love/hate duet.

#TheOrville is resolving its tonal problems.
#StarTrekDiscovery is greatly improved in its 2nd season.
It feels like #StarTrek now even though there's some discontinuity with the rest of #Trek like the #Klingons' odd appearance & the ship being more advanced than the #Enterprise.

[Scott Anderson @TVWriterGuy]

#Veep has been hilarious, deftly weaving satire of current events with Selina colluding with the Chinese to win the presidency, with flat-out farce.
It's a shame the show is ending. Real life politics is both absurd & maddening now.
It's refreshing to laugh at fictional politics.

[Scott Anderson @TVWriterGuy]

#GameofThrones has had some great character moments as disparate players meet and interact.
#Sansa & #Daenerys had a showdown.
#JaimeLannister , #Tormund, #Brienne & #Tyrion bonded.
Small moments made us care for them even more before the big battle.
#GOT

[Scott Anderson @TVWriterGuy]

#GameOfThrones final season is plotted like one long epic movie.
1st 2 eps were the first act setting up the stakes for the characters.
Ep 3, the #BattleOfWinterfell, was like a (dimly lighted) inciting incident, the thing that sets the events in motion for the rest of the story
