        This whole "I didn't like this person in this role and so that means they can't act" thing needs to stop.

          Aunt Robin on HIMYM is still one of my TV avatars, even if I Don't Love some of what they did with her character in the last season (and yes, Stumptown is good stuff and utilizes one of my former character faces!).

            I wasn't doing that thing. I appreciated the actress in both HIMYM (I watched the whole thing - terrible ending though, not that it's on Cobie Smulders of course), and she had a limited but impactfull role as Maria Hill. I really have wanted to see her as Wonder Woman since her name was floated for a time while Joss Whedon was still attached to it.

            I just didn't know she could act, at least on the level she's pulling off in Stumptown. She's taking it to another level. It's a compliment for her newer work, not a complaint about her past.

              I think everyone doubted Henry Cavill in The Witcher.

              I don't think anyone expected Ryan Reynolds to go anywhere after Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place.

              And no one ever expected Bob Saget's daughter from Raising Dad would have made it anywhere, even after she toured with Jesse McCartney; however, she won an Oscar, and everyone loved her flying about kicking ass, so kudos to my half-Canadian brethren Brie Larson.

              So, yeah.

                I guess I'm in a weird minority. I thought all three of the people you mentioned would go on to have decent careers. I always thought a pre-Blade Trinity Ryan Reynolds was akin to a young Chevy Chase, I've liked Henry Cavill since I saw him in The Count of Monte Cristo, and I thought Brie Larson was the only one who COULD act on the few eps of I saw of Raising Dad.

                          Fair.
                          It's on my list, too.

                          I've got an afternoon of board gaming on Saturday, but outside that I plan to just watch TV and cross stitch.

                              Is Picard dropping all at once like Sabrina is, or are they doing it Mando style with 1x/week?

                                        Just watched Picard. I... I don't know what to say.

                                        I never make noise when I watch stuff. But this? I made exclamations of glee, of delight, of shock. I literally said "oh, that is not good. Oh, holy shit, that is not good" at one point.

                                        This is what being awestruck feels like. Oh my God. I'm in disbelief.

                                          Yea, no spoilers, but Stewart seamlessly slipped back into the role (and another old face despite not having the same face channeled an old character perfectly). The first episode SOLIDLY set up the season, Picard definitely takes place in the "Prime" timeline, and this new story is intriguing as hell with the implications about WHO this new girl is.

                                          I suspect this season will showcase a culmination of the best TNG storylines, crossing the Romulans, the Borg, and the crew of the Enterprise.

                                          The first episode is SO GOOD that it feels like it goes by too fast. By the end shot (which, I was going "HOOOOLY SHIT" during and the roll of the credits I had chills. So much to explore. After the episode there is basically a trailer for "what's to come" in the future of this season, and ALL OF IT looked like stuff I wanna see.
