What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?

FINISHED Game Of Thrones Season 8 Episode 6 

I have honestly no words for what I just watched and the levels of disappointment I'm feeling. The first half of the finale had me on a bit of a high with some of my predictions coming true only to have the second half make no sense and for me to die a little. I suppose if the goal of Game of Thrones was to steadily decrease it's quality until we're just aching for it to be over and for our misery to end, then it accomplished it's goal! Jon Jon Jon. I really and truly expected more from him as a character cause I really and truly thought he were playing the long game and that his lack of a spine had to do with his fear of Dany and being burnt alive but instead it turned out that yes he did betray the North and yes he did purposefully ignore all of Dany's warning signs cause he was in love. This goes against literally everything the Starks were fighting for since season 1 and I thought that Sansa telling him to be smarter than Robb and Ned meant something but instead Jon made the same exact mistakes they did and somehow ended up surviving when they died only due to what I'm assuming was plot armor. God I miss Robb. So much for the lone wolf dies but the pack survives huh cause Jon gave zero shits about his family all season. The fact that the Lannisters had more familial moments together than the Starks who's motto is basically family first is ridiculous!!! I also HATED that Bran is now King of the 6 Kingdoms cause seriously what part of him deserves it? He'd make a terrible king with how little he cares about anything and we saw that a little later that he'd be nothing more than a puppet king to his council who'd actually do the day-to-day ruling! And then let's not even talk about how he can't have children so like we're going to have peace for his reign and then another war to pick the next ruler??? Ugh. Even Dany's death felt a little anticlimactic. Arya going exploring makes sense but I still don't love it cause I hate that after 7 seasons of the Starks trying to get back to each other, they all just ended up in different parts of the world. I mean good for Sansa for being named Queen but like she's all alone and being queen is never what she wanted! She's wanted nothing more than her family to be safe for seasons. And then Jon seriously ended up north of the Wall in the end? Part of me is like good suffer you asshole but then the rest of me is like what the hell was the point of his whole arc then? Why did they go through all the pain of killing him and resurrecting him to get him away from the Wall if he was going to end up there anyway???? Overall I think this finale took a big swing and missed by miles and honestly I'm just glad it's over.

FINISHED Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 Episode 16

I really went into this finale ready to hate it cause like I've hated the idea of Heyworld since it appeared a few episodes ago but tbh it ended up being not as terrible as I expected it to be which I suppose is a perfect example of a backhanded compliment. Neron's plan as it turns out had nothing to with the Eyes app and really that made no sense because if the point was to get everyone scared and then open up a portal to hell so that the demons could rule on Earth, why build the app at all? I also really liked that Heyworld ended up not actually working the way that the Legends intended cause I've always thought Heyworld was a smidge too far in this world even if last season we had a giant Bebo. I also really liked just how useful Constantine was cause like without him the Legends would have been super screwed and I really liked that Nate ended up dying only to come back to life with the help of Tabitha's giant wand and tbh it totally tracked for me that if fear could power her wand, love could too especially since the Fairy Godmother was supposed to be a force for good originally. It was actually really heartbreaking that Zari disappeared and was replaced by her brother in the team and that everyone forgot but I'm sure this isn't the last we see of her. I expect Nate to somehow remember next season and then go searching for her cause we spent so long getting to know Zari not her brother and it's she who deserves to be on the team. The small cameo from the Monitor was hilarious too cause he just appeared just to give the Legends his best judgmental look and I loved that moment when Sara and Nate and Gary were pretending to be the Trinity and when asked why they couldn't get the real Trinity to help, they were like we skipped the crossover so they weren't really down to help us and I died.

The 100 Season 6 Episode 4

Sooo who else called it that the Primes are probs not good people? The more interesting part is that the Children of Gabriel don't seem to be good either but I suppose in relation to the Primes who forced Clarke to become Josephine, they probs aren't that terrible. I bet though like every other group of people there are some extremists like the ones who wanted to kill Rose and then some less extreme like the guy that was trying to help Octavia. I'm still so curious about the backstory of this world and how they figured out how to transfer consciousness from one body to another though I have a feeling it's similar to how the Flame is passed from one commander to another since Nightblood is needed for both. I want to know why the other faction hates it so much cause like of course from our crew's POV it's terrible since you know consent and everything but the people of Sanctum clearly consent to this Naming Ceremony stuff. I wonder if it just has to do with Gabriel falling in love with a Prime host and then being furious when he lost that person to a previous reincarnation. I'm getting a little sick of Raven and some of the others constantly attacking Clarke and Octavia about what they did cause it's like yeah that stuff they did wasn't great but also everyone would make a similar choice if they had to and like can't we all just move on? Maybe that's sociopathic on my part but like look at Octavia and Dioza deciding to team up despite what happened last season and letting bygones be bygones. I can't imagine that Josephine will be able to pretend to be Clarke long enough to fool our crew long term and I assume it'll be either Bellamy or Abby or Madi that will figure it out cause there's no way Josephine will be able to fool those who love Clarke most.

The promo for next week was really short but it showed Josephine being told to pretend to be Clarke so that our crew wouldn't find out what's really going on in Sanctum and I'm sitting here like good luck with that. I also wonder why they're so scared of our crew cause it seems like Sanctum's people aren't good fighters but they know this land and have paralytics and stuff and clearly outnumber us.

Agents Of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 3

I HATE THIS SHOW SO MUCH! Why would it think that's it's okay to do this to me???? Just when I got all excited that Jemma and Daisy were in the same place as Fitz and Enoch, the show takes Fitz away!!! I don't entirely understand what's going on in terms of the Chronicons cause the head hunter said something about how Fitz is out of time with the whole dying thing but I assume it has something to do with paradoxes. If the current Fitz decides to live out his days in the current timeline, then he would never have gone to the future and if he never went to the future, then our SHIELD agents would never have come back to the present to create this paradox. Then again the hunter Chronicons didn't seem like they were all that friendly and honestly I felt like they were down to kill Fitz instead which begs the question that if there are no paradoxal problems, why not just let Fitz go? Despite this, I super enjoyed this episode cause it was so different than most SHIELD episodes. I mean Daisy and Jemma get high and bond while Fitz and Enoch go gambling after which Enoch has an existential breakdown making him feel like such a moodTM. Have I mentioned again how much I love that Enoch's around again this season? Now that he's been excommunicated from his planet and people, we can bring him to Earth. Not only is he hilarious (inadvertently) but he's smart and able to help us Earthlings navigate the larger universe. I really find this storyline much more interesting than whatever is happening down on Earth and part of that is cause I understand more of what our characters want here while Sarge and his whole crew haven't explained their plans yet so it's like meh.

The promo for next week seems to indicate that we're returning to Earth which is hilarious cause I just talked about how much more I enjoyed being in space... At least now Fitz and Enoch know Jemma and the crew are back in present time and Jemma and Enoch and Daisy know that Fitz is alive and with a Chronicon. I assume that they'll be trying to get to whatever planet Chronicons are from. I also hope that we get a bit more about what Sarge wants and what in the world he could want with Deke who by the way yay Deke! I wonder if they are after time displaced people like the Chronicons cause other than that Deke is pretty much all human. He's not even an inhuman.

Fruits Basket (2019) Season 1 Episode 8

It was the New Year's episode this week and overall I felt like most of the episode was fairly boring. The Sohmas were all headed back to the estate for the holiday though Yuki and Kyo weren't thrilled and Tohru decided to be alone and sad cause it was the first New Years without her mother. This is where Tohru's major flaw pops up in her inability to be selfish cause though it makes sense that she couldn't go to the Sohma New Years celebration as it was obviously closed to non-family, I'm sure Uo or Hana would have loved to have her at their house. I suppose she turned both down partially for plot reasons and for that scene where Yuki and Kyo came back for her. It's a little strange that Kyo even bothered going originally cause he's not a zodiac member and when they were describing the festivities, he wasn't allowed to go to the banquet so like why not stay home? Yuki however is for some reason Akito's favorite and I'm curious as to why that is. I'm sure the consequences for his neglect to come home for the holiday will have a price later and most likely Tohru will be paying it cause of Akito's jealously. We did meet a new zodiac character though not by name or animal form so we don't know who it is yet unless you've seen the original or read the manga.

Next week looks like it'll be the school race and the actual introduction of Hatsuharu!
