This is the final season of the show and they've been saying a major character is going to die.  Well, it happened on this episode, but it wasn't the character they've been talking about.

I like to find and follow recaps as I'm watching, so, even though the article said it contains spoilers, I want the reveal to be in the order in which the plot gets to that point.  But this one had it right at the top.

But, it turned out that it was revealed on the show in the first minute, so, I guess that's OK.

 Premieres             

-- Legacies

• Spinoff of "The Vampire Diaries" with some of their kids as students in a school for supernaturals. 

  ---

• TVD had another spinoff -- "The Originals" which I did not watch, and the main character on the new show was born there, so I don't know her.  The producers says that people can watch without having seen either of the other shows.

  ---

• One of the students is played by Jenny Boyd.

---

• I'm not sure if I want to bother watching.  I just don't care about any of the characters and it doesn't seem interesting enough.

changed anything on their side.

• About a working-class Catholic family with 8 boys (ages 1 to 20) during the 1970s.      It's told through the eyes of the 5th oldest who is 12. 

  ---

• It started out overly hectic, but calmed down.  It's seems like a version of "The Goldbergs", just with more kids.

  ---

• The children's theatre casting director is called Jenny in the credits.  

  ---

• It's OK, and might get better, but I doubt it will get past the 1st season.

-- Rookie, The

• After his divorce, a 40-year-old contractor moves to LA to pursue his dream of being a cop.

  ---

• One critic said it's a "sure-fire hit".  Another said it's an "ensemble with real potential." But another said it has too many characters and too many plotlines.  Another implied is just for Fillion fans.

• There isn't anything special about this show.  I probably won't watch it.

• Reboot of series that ran from 1998-2006, but this has new characters. 

  ---

• Kindest critic said, "The reboot is indeed funny and fierce, with a political edge that places the show firmly in 2018."   But a harsher critic said it "has its sights set on the Emmy for "Most PC Cliches Packed Into One Oppressively Long Drama Ever," 

  ---

• A disgusted viewer wrote: "Pretentious [feminist] agenda, horrible acting and cheap effect."  and another wrote it's, "just a mess tries to use glory of the original to make money"

First went to Kohl's to buy new gloves.  I asked a sales assoc where the
gloves were and she said she didn't think they had any but I could look
in the clearance aisle.  This is the wrong time of year for gloves to be
in clearance.  But I asked a guy in that area and he pointed right to
where the woman was standing.

Then there was an "enter here" sign at the register but there didn't
seem to be anything that would stop someone from going directly to the
next register.  Luckily, no one did, but I had to wait a long time
because the customer at that next register seemed to have some sort of
problem, and the customer at the first register had a cart full of items.

Then, at Arby's, there seemed to be a lot of sandwiches that were
ordered ahead of mine and only one sandwich maker.

They explained how, during a hurricane, you could make a makeshift refrigerator.
All it was was a smaller planter inside a larger planter with sand in between
to insulate.  But that's just a thermos container -- it won't cool anything!
And where do you get the pots and sand?

--   4:50p  Arrived for 5p dental cleaning & check-up

They have wi-fi but it couldn't seem to connect to my TiVo.  I tried to
watch a previously downloaded program but it said I'm not allowed to
watch shows downloaded from another device -- even though that's the
WHOLE idea of downloading -- and I've done it before.  It may have
something to do a new version of the app being installed.  In the past,
previously downloaded programs seem to have evaporated.  Now it shows
them but says I can't watch them -- and I also seem to lose my place
of where I was in the program!!!

I first went to Walgreen's to pick up Rx,  Cigna did NOT pick up any of the cost.

--   7:38p  Home;  I got first mail related to treatment since going on Medicare.
The is was from the supplemental insurance plan and related to my pneumonia
and flu vaccines.  It reported the amount the doctor's office was charging.
and it said they will be paying $0, Medicare will pay $0, but I owe $0.
That doesn't seem to add up.

~~  It also said I should forward Medicare summary to them when I get
it, but I don't know IF I will get it, or WHEN I will get it, or IF I'll
be able to recognize it IF I get it.  But there was also a note that
implied Medicare would be sending them something electronically, and
it seemed to imply that I shouldn't have filed claim.  But I didn't --
the doctor's office did.

~~  So, I'm already hating Medicare -- as expected.

~~  There were 4 hangups on my phone answering machine.

--   7:56p  "ET"

It seems that TiVo is requiring me to change my password.  So, in part,
that interfered with me using the app at the dentist office.  But there
seems to be a new problem.  I don't know if it only applies to certain
shows.  A message said that to download a particular show that I tried
to download that, due to copyright laws, the downloaded program will be
deleted from my TiVo.  But another program I tried to download said
"download failed".  So, what if the download fails but it's erased the
original.  It also didn't give any explanation why it failed.  So,
now I'm afraid to download programs!!!

• A South Crenshaw High football player is recruited to play at Beverly Hills High even though recruiting is against the rules.  His now-single mom is a courthouse clerk.

  ---

• Harsh critic says there's "no authenticity".  Kinder critic says, "It’s a well-made teen drama pilot." Everyone seems to like the cast. 

  ---

• They briefly mention that he was allowed to transfer on an "academic permit". It's unclear how that so easily skirts the rules.  The mom has a job but we don't know how much it pays.  We know that they are poor -- she wasn't able to pay the gas bill.  He has nice headphones, but not a computer. It seems strange that the coach's son is conveniently the team captain.

On the way home, I was approaching a stop sign and my brakes weren't working properly.  
Luckily, I wasn't going fast and I managed to stop in time.  When I pulled onto the main street, 
there wasn't any traffic behind me so I tried the brakes again and the problem recurred but the 
subsequents times it seemed to be OK.  I don't know if there was something on the street or if 
my brakes have a problem.  It's just that I've never encountered anything like that before --

• A 20-something celebrity moves in with his accountant and his wife to avoid the paparazzi.
