Game Of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5
Holy hell amirite guys? This episode did absolutely nothing to fix any of the problems I have had with this season or the writing of this show but it does showcase the one thing that Game of Thrones does well and that's battle scenes. My heart was in my throat for the entire hour we spent attacking Kings Landing. Can I just say, Dark Dany came true and that has been my prediction for where the show was going to take her ever since Dany was in Meereen. I do like the arc that she took and I have to say that it was probably one of the best arcs to take a hero into a villain I have pretty much ever seen on tv. Dany has always been a fascinating character cause she started out in pretty much the same position as every woman in this show but she found her strength in her dragons and while at first they made her feel safe, after a while they started to make her feel powerful and without them she was nothing. I also really want to give props to Emilia on her acting cause it was amazing watching her sad softness around Jon harden the second he admitted he couldn't love her the way she wanted anymore and she realized that she had lost everyone who cared about her (except for Grey Worm but he's more of just looking for revenge than anything else.) The sudden snap Dany took as she watched Kings Landing surrender but decided to burn them all anyway was horrifying and seriously if Jon or Tyrion are on Dany's side next week I will be furious. We spent so much time in the streets watching how terrified the innocent people were and how she was burning them and killing them and all I could think was what a monster. Sidebar I wasn't thrilled with the Northern Army suddenly going insane and murdering and raping civilians either but at least Jon was trying to stop it and was just as horrified. I was also really really afraid that Arya might die at some point but thank goodness she made it out. My only complaint with this whole thing was that the deaths of Jaime and Cersei felt kinda vague and like I know in real life there's no way they could have survived the Red Keep falling on their heads but this is a tv show and deaths aren't real until we see bodies. Also so much for the prophecy Cersei was so afraid of!
Our kill count adds Varys, Euron, Hound, Mountain, Qyburn, and I think Jaimie and Cersei to the list. Next week is the finale and I'll be interested to see how it ends. After this week I can't see Dany on the throne so I except some sort of murder plot and I'd like it to be by Jon's hand as I predicted but who knows anymore. I also predicted that the Iron Throne would be no more and that the 7 Kingdoms would become 7 again but I have a stronger feeling that Jon will sit on it through the foreshadowing we keep getting.

FINISHED Arrow Season 7 Episode 22
Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 Episode 15
What a crazy fun episode in which I loved every moment! It's nice to be back to really enjoying this show and I'm definitely glad I watched it after Arrow cause it definitely cheered me up a bit after I sobbed my eyes out over there. The Gary storyline had to be my favorite mostly cause of how completely insane it was. He got the Fairy Godmother on his side and seemed to have lost his evil nipple after Mona bit it off but he was still angry with the Legends and Ava so he attempted to torture them in his own fun way, after of course wishing for a third nipple. I completely understand Gary's anger with being treated as a punchline but I've always thought the best part of Gary was how he was the butt of the joke so I kind of hope that we don't get rid of it in the future! I also loved that Tabitha's big plan was to have her Fairy Godmother powers given to Nora by tricking her and what a smart plan tbh but also all they have to do is give her to Ray after all this is over and Nora can still live a normal life with the addition of extra cool powers now. Zari and Charlie's storyline was the least interesting but that doesn't mean that it still wasn't good though I don't love that the dragon egg hatched with baby Zari cause I really wanted it to imprint on adult Zari or Nate! I also completely understand why Constantine chose Astra over Ray cause how could he not want to save the little girl he accidentally sent to hell? Now that Nora's going down there I'm sure she'll help.
The promo for next week looks just as ridiculous as expected and I still hate the idea of Heyworld but I get it in the overall theme of things. I don't entirely understand why we can't get the Time Bureau agents to mind wipe everyone who saw the creatures at the press conference and have Ray tell the public that the whole press conference was a joke but I guess it's funnier this way so why not.

FINISHED The Flash Season 5 Episode 22
It's interesting that both the Arrow and the Flash finale this week ended up having similar ways of ending in that the season long Big Bad was defeated earlier in the episode and then the rest focused on other stuff, in Flash's case that was Eobard. None of that to say that I didn't like what I watched cause I actually really enjoyed this finale of Flash and the way it ended. I had always wondered how Nora would have existed if the timeline was changed the way it was cause with her return to the past, she moved the Crisis up to next year which means that if Barry had disappeared then Iris would have to be pregnant right now so I expected in the back of my mind to end the season with Iris being pregnant. I low key blame Barry and Nora for the heartbreak I had to go through over on Arrow cause without them, Oliver wouldn't have to make the tough choices he did but that's enough on that cause this is my Flash review not Arrow. I probs should have been sadder about Nora's disappearance from the timeline but tbh I never really liked Nora that much so I wasn't really sad but I liked how Barry and Iris dealt with their pain afterwards and how she chose to disappear rather than become evil like Eobard just to save herself. We also removed Grace!Cicada from the timeline and woke up little Grace who really is tragic cause she's waking up to find out that a future version of her killed the last family she had and all because little Grace allowed herself to stew in her anger. Joe was promoted to Captain of the CCPD and Captain Singh was awesome for being like of course I know you're the Flash Barry. Cisco also took the cure which makes me wonder if he'll be in the next season or not or if it was just Carlos Valdes who was like I'd rather stand around Star Labs like Iris then be out in costume in the field like Willa Holland on Arrow wanted.
The 100 Season 6 Episode 3
I'm really enjoying this new world we're in even if it's super confusing and I don't entirely understand what's going on. As I assumed last week, it seems as though Sanctum's people have somehow figured out a way to transfer their conscious from body to body so every time a baby with Nightblood is born, they get one of the Prime placed into their body. Maybe it's something similar to the chip that the Commanders had and that Madi has right now. There also seems to be another group outside of Sanctum that seems to want to kill the Primes and while at first I assumed that they will be our villains, I'm starting to think that the Sanctum people will probably end up being our Big Bads since they're not as welcoming as they wanted our crew to believe. For some reason they think violence is a disease and that anyone who carries the gene needs to be removed from Sanctum and seriously what lame logic cause if everyone's just chilling in Sanctum, what need is there for violence anyway? There's no war or lack of resources or anything that would require fighting. I'm sure with the reveal that Clarke has Nightblood, she'll be targeted by the Sanctum people to have a Prime put inside her which I'm assuming will end up leading to the war against them. Honestly Sanctum is so outmatched and the only reason that our crew might not make it just because we don't know this world yet. I'm also trying to think back about whether or not there's anyone left on the mothership cause the leaders of Sanctum said that we can't bring anymore down but I think most of our main characters are down here. I'm also super curious about this other faction but the fact that Octavia is with them right now will probably help us figure that out.
The promo for next week was a bit hard to understand cause it looked like flashes of people in random places with Octavia's voiceover. If I had to guess, I'd say Octavia and Dioza will meet up and try to escape from whatever faction they got caught in and it'll be fun cause these two hate each other. I also assume that the new guy might end up being a new love interest for Octavia cause her meeting with him was similar to her meeting with Lincoln back in season 1.
FINISHED Riverdale Season 3 Episode 22
As per my response after pretty much every Riverdale episode, I'm sitting here like the actual hell did I just watch. It's kind of hilarious cause I feel like this episode was basically taking everything the audience complained about for these past two seasons and were like okay so you don't like how insane we've taken the show and want to return to season 1 status quo, okay we've got you. I'm sort of in the middle when it comes to this show cause I do miss the high school drama that this show has season 1 but I also enjoy the mystery when it feels more realistic. We've got our crazy story over on Sabrina so let's allow Riverdale to be a bit more grounded. I also know that the final scene that took place in spring break of senior year was to hint at a possible Jughead death and though part of me could see Cole Sprouse being the only one of the core four to want to leave Riverdale cause he is the biggest star of the group, I can't imagine that they would kill him off cause not only are he and Betty the most loved characters on the show but he's dating Lili and if he left the show, it'd be harder to spend time together. But enough about that, let's talk about what happened tonight. It turned out that the Gargoyle King was actually Chic and that he was working with Hal and Penelope to destroy the town and now Hal is dead and Chic is in jail I think but Penelope is still on the loose. I liked this a lot cause it ties everything together in a nice knot and makes sense in hindsight. It also turns out that Alice was working the FBI to take down The Farm which honestly feels like more of a retcon than what actually was happening in order to fix Alice's character. I do like the idea that Charles is alive though cause of course a teen drama wouldn't get rid of such a juicy storyline even if it makes Betty and Jughead dating a bit weird now that they share a half-sibling.
Agents Of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 2
Is it any surprise that I really enjoyed this week's episode? After all it was a Fitz centric one and I'm super down for those. It was interesting seeing that Fitz is returning a bit more to his pre-Framework mindset and personality rather than the Fitz from last season who would do anything and everything to get from point A to point B. I wonder if that has to do with the fact that the audience prefers that Fitz cause story wise season 6 Fitz should be the same as season 5 Fitz cause he didn't go through any of the season 5 moments but honestly I don't mind it cause I also prefer the pre-Framework Fitz. I really liked that we saw Enoch again after he died last season and that he and Fitz are working to get back to cryo-sleep cause these poor souls don't know that everyone is back in present time. I assume that they're headed to the same place that Jemma and Daisy were last week though now Fitz will have to make a pit stop elsewhere in order to get the engineers he saved to safety. Hopefully we don't have a ships passing in the night scenario with Fitz and Jemma! Over on Earth, we still don't know what Sarge and his crew are up to or who they are though now it seems like they are jumping from world to world in order to destroy it but there must be more to that. I think we were told though that this crew is jumping through different dimensions rather than being aliens like I first assumed they were. I also assumed that maybe this crew is some sort of species that takes over dead bodies like Hive did which is why Sarge has Coulson's face and seems to remember the name Coulson but then we saw that weird video at the end of the episode and suddenly I'm not so sure anymore!
The promo seems to show that Daisy and Jemma did end up in the same place that Fitz did so yay possible reunion next week??? It also looks like Enoch and Fitz will be attempting to gamble for something (possibly the cryo-pod?) and I can't wait to see what happens!
Fruits Basket (2019) Season 1 Episode 7
You know for some reason Hatori never really clicked for me back in the original version and he still doesn't here. Like my brain clearly understands that his backstory is sad and I want to feel for him but my heart's just like sucks dude. Maybe it's cause I never really understood why Kana had to have her memories erased or why she blamed herself for his eye getting hurt. Like it was pretty clear to me that it was all Akito's fault for overreacting when Hatori told him about wanting to get married and it seems silly to me that Kana would be so heartbroken over this when it should have just strengthened her resolve to love him. It's also ridiculous that Hatori never blamed Akito for anything and blamed himself and his curse for it instead cause Kana clearly had no problem with Hatori being the dragon of the zodiac so it wasn't that! Sidebar but Hatori literally has the worst transformation cause at least the other zodiacs can move around in their forms. I did love the animation in this episode though cause the original never really showed us how sweeping the Sohma estate is and there's definitely like hundreds of Sohmas in this family isn't there? I'm still really curious about why Akito clearly hates it when anyone in the zodiac is happy and why if he was so pissed that Hatori had Kana then why is he okay with Tohru living with the Sohmas? I mean clearly there's a plan in place especially with the evil glare Akito gave Tohru as he drove by.
I'm not sure what next week's episode could be. I can't remember which zodiac appears next though I'm thinking it might be Hatsuharu?
