Poldark Season 5 Episode 2
There's a chill in the air of this show and I'm low key finding myself terrified for our main cast members in a way I haven't been before. It's most likely because Ross and Dwight and their wives are playing around in the political sphere now and unlike the small politics of Cornwall when they were fighting George, in London the King and his supporters as well as people like Hanson have no problem murdering and killing. I was terrified for Demelza all episode with that weird man following her around London and it's like of all the people to stalk, Demelza would have been the last person I'd suspect should be followed. I'm not sure if Bannantine was killed and washed up on shore in Cornwall or London but I can't imagine what our enemies can gain by killing him cause it wouldn't ruin Ned's reputation again unless they somehow pin the murder on him. Perhaps it's as simple as with another witness dead there's no one to point to their wrongdoings? I do like that an ace in our pocket is having Ross kind of working with the King's spy network so it could help keep the government from believing Hanson and co about Ross being a rebel but again it doesn't help that Ross refused to spy on Ned and Kitty and instead fled London. I'm afraid the government spies will just decide that Ross is too hard of a weapon to mold and toss him aside. George is also still slowly falling into madness and part of me is like yes George yes cause with him down and out for a bit, he can't be the thorn in Ross's side as usual but the rest of me is saddened for him and the utter grief he feels. On another note, I'm still liking the cute romance between Cecily and Geoffrey Charles but I'm so terrified of Cecily's father that I can't fully enjoy it. I also still don't understand what Tess wants. It feels like she wants to be mistress of Nampara but like does that mean she wants to seduce Ross or murder Demelza? Either way she's an idiot if she thinks that she can turn Ross's head.
Oh wow looks like a whole bunch of murder is happening next week. I do not think that Bannantine washed up in Cornwall but if we were missing anything in this season so far it's mine drama and how much do we want to bet Tess and co did something to make more commonfolk turn against Ross and Demelza? George also looks like he's closer to losing his mind and it's possible he'll end up shooting his uncle by next week.

Young Justice Season 3 Episode 19
This episode went from one thing to a completely different thing in the course of 30 minutes and I'm honestly shocked because I did not see this coming. Lex had a fantastic plan at the top of the episode in order to discredit the Outsiders and keep his agenda going with pretending like he was worried about a bunch of teen heroes but it was all ruined for him by the end which was a surprise to me cause I thought that the second crisis of the episode was also a plot by Lex. As it turned out it was a plot but not one made by Lex. I don't entirely understand what Batman and co are secretly trying to accomplish but I can't entirely assume it's just to discredit the Light from the shadows. It was fascinating to see that Batman was basically Lex this week and I loved that Diana called him out. I do miss some of the older members (like where has Black Canary been) and I still don't understand why Diana and Clark are out in space when we don't even check in with them. Last we saw of space, the Light was selling metahumans so are we to assume that's what the League is fighting in space? We also got another shoutout to Wally and I will die if he doesn't come back at some point this season. Violet also came out with the truth about Gabrielle and what she did to Brion and Tera which of course horrified them but once again Violet isn't Gabrielle so she's not exactly to blame! I also thought I would be annoyed with how the Outsiders's parents were against them being Outsiders but I loved the way the episode ended with them publicly offering their support including savage Jay Garrick who made a social media account just to mess with Lex.
The 100 Season 6 Episode 11
Turnabouts fair play no? Josephine spent an episode pretending to be Clarke and now Clarke will spend an episode pretending to be Josephine and seriously it's just props to Eliza Taylor who is slaying. I really enjoyed pretty much everything that happened this week other than probably what was happening with Echo in her backstory. It was a weird moment to bring it up and I don't know what it accomplished if I'm being honest but I suppose it might have been leftover from when Bellamy told her to open up mixed in with her needing to stall. It was super badass when she murdered Ryker though cause as much as he was hemming and hawing, she's still the assassin she was. It was also strange that we didn't see Raven or Abby or Emori tonight but I guess there was no need for them cause we know what they were up to. It does suck that Murphy is on the Primes side again but like obviously everyone on our side is like whatever dude at this point and besides when push comes to shove, he usually picks us. I was hoping that maybe they'd be able to get the evil Commander out of Madi before making more Nightbloods but then again there is literally only Russell, and Priya left of the Primes so like all our crew have to do is kill them and destroy the drives and there's no need for Nightbloods anymore. Octavia and Bellamy also seemed to make up and though Bellamy is still being an asshole to Octavia's face, he was struggling to keep tears at bay and I have a feeling that he'll be fine by the end of this season probs through an Octavia death scare if I'm being honest. I can't wait to see Clarke pretend to be Josephine some more cause she's been killing it so far tbh. I also don't entirely know why Clarke can't just kill Russell and Priya cause she's already infiltrated their inner circle and they would never see it coming. This way they can take out who they need to, save our people and protect the innocent.
Ha I have no idea what was happening in the trailer. It looks like Gabriel's big plan is to turn the Nulls against the Primes by explaining the truth behind the drives but again part of me is like why not just kill the two Primes left and destroy the drives? Same difference no?
Astra Lost In Space Episode 4
Well I asked for a sick episode and that's kind of what we got though it was mixed together with a planet with little to no resources story which is interesting cause technically it could have been spread over two. The weirdest moment all episode was Kanata taking his helmet off to breath in the poison cause for some reason he thought he'd find the medicinal mushrooms only when he was panicking. I was sitting here like you moron that's not going to help cause you're more useful unhurt. It also brought up a question I had about why the crew would take their helmets off after they land on each planet cause though they might be able to account for oxygen in the atmosphere, there's no way of knowing if there's something unbreathable in the air anyway unless they have some sort of air tester but since we haven't seen one yet, I think we're supposed to assume that we don't. I'm curious to know if the next episode will also take place on this planet cause we never did manage to solve the low resources on this planet problem and the next planet isn't close enough that the crew can make it on what little they have. I also know we've like technically made friends with the Gruppies on this planet but like when push comes to shove, they are meat and a bunch of them are dead already so why not just steal a few? We also got to get to know Yunha a bit more and I suppose it was meant to show us why she wasn't the spy afterall but who knows. I did feel bad for her when we got to know just how abusive her mother was and for like no reason cause it isn't like Yunha can't do anything but she's so scared that she refuses to try.
Krypton Season 2 Episode 7
Hmmm I don't know what I'm feeling right now cause a lot of the episode was fairly boring but then there was also so much that happened that matters and at this point I have a feeling that we no longer care about future canon cause it's like Adam came back to make sure that Superman lives but he hasn't mentioned it at all this season and the fact that the future was all messed up anyway makes me feel like we're just going to play it by ear now. Last week I went on and on about the House of El and for a second I was all warm and fuzzy inside when Nyssa and Seg renamed Cor Vex to Jor El cause not only was it a super sweet moment for our characters but we were obviously setting up the future family line since Jor El is Kal El's father but now with Brainiac having taken him away, things are left up in the air. I wonder if we'll end up teaming up with Zod to get Jor back cause there's no way that either Seg or Nyssa are like oops oh well especially after Seg just lost Lyta and though Zod is a dictator, he really does love Krypton in his own way and with him having built spaceships and the threat of Brainiac still out there, the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Every time our characters think they've defeated Brainiac I'm always sitting here like that was too easy and what made them think that putting nanites into the Fortress's system was a good idea? Anyway we also learned a bit more about Doomsday and how he was tortured into being this monster by the El and the Zod who created him and as it turns out Zod wants to use him as a weapon. We also did some stuff up with the rebellion but mostly it was to show that Kem is now a great leader in his own right.
Well I take back everything I said about a team-up with Zod and Seg cause it looks like Seg will be trying to destroy Zod first before going out to get Jor back. I'm a little worried that the show might end up aging Jor up to an adult and have him be loyal to Brainiac in order to bring drama to our cast but hopefully we are able to focus on Zod for now and maybe the hunt for Jor El will be the focus next season.
Agents Of SHIELD Season 6 Episode 11
This episode was pretty much a setup for the future battles to come which is why nothing really happened even though there were some fun moments. I still don't know why Izel wants to leave her world and have all of her people join this one when she clearly missed her home a few episodes ago and we know that ultimately people always want to return to their home worlds regardless of how much they travel around so like there has to be more. Is her world dying? Do they need a new world? Or for some reason has Izel decided that it's so much more fun to take over a new one? She's managed to find the doorway to her world through Benson's help and she wants Mack and Yoyo to rebuild the Monoliths from their memory through her usage of the remaining monolith energy which seems like a real fast and loose plan but since we're nearing the end of the season, I'm sure it'll work. We also learned a little more about how her powers work and it was super awesome that it ended up being Deke who figured it out cause I adore this version of Deke trying everything in his power to impress Fitz and like we all knew he had the Fitzsimmons brain on him and it was only a matter of channeling it! The Sarge stuff was fun too and one of my favorite moments all episode was the quiet one where Daisy finally read the letter Coulson left her and properly grieved though we also learned that Sarge is regaining Coulson's memories and I feel like by the end of the season into next season we might end up getting our Coulson back. Maybe the belt that Fitzsimmons and Deke build will be able to get the thing out of Sarge. The Chronicom button we got at the end is still really confusing and I keep wondering why we keep popping back to see what the Chronicoms are doing and the only thing I can think of is that they'll be the Big Bads for next season and the show wants us to remember them.
It looks like SHIELD will be airing it's penultimate and finale back to back so it'll be more of a two-hour season finale and I'm pumped. I can't wait to see how our crew wins or whether they even win cause next season is the last one SHIELD will have based on what we heard at Comic Con.
Fruits Basket (2019) Season 1 Episode 17
This was the second part of Uo's backstory as I predicted last week and I already went through the whole kinda feel bad but kinda feel like her story is filler thing last time so let's just jump into this episode. I really liked that though it was Kyoko who lent Uo the strength to leave her old life behind, it was ultimately Tohru and her gentle heart that made Uo want to change. I think that's truly Tohru's best weapon and what makes everyone love her cause she doesn't go out to change people or to force them to do what they don't want to. She just accepts people the way they are and that's what makes people want to be the best version of themselves around her. I loved that Uo was so touched that Tohru baked something for her and that Kyoko and Tohru became a safe haven for her enough so that she was able to change her own home life as well. I do wonder if the friend in the gang who tried to help Uo leave the gang will end up coming back in the show cause she's a dangling thread and I feel like shows don't usually leave a lot of them out there cause it's great drama to bring them back. I also love the idea of passing on the torch to other young delinquents cause Kyoko saved Uo and now Uo is saving those three girls who were following them around. It was super sweet that they started to idolize her the way Uo did to Kyoko.
I assume that we'll be getting back to the zodiacs next week and it should be Kisa who's next followed by Hiro and Ritsu and then Kyo's backstory if we follow the 2001 version's sequence of events. I think there's also two more zodiac members that we never met originally but I have a feeling that they might be pushed back to next season.
