FINISHED Dear White People Season 3
So I don't think I've ever actually mentioned that I watch this show on this blog but I do and I actually really actually adored this season as per usual and the topics it touched on. It did take me a second to remember where everyone was and what they went through last season but as soon as I did, I was on board. Every character was going through their own shit and I loved experiencing it. Sam was stuck both in a sense of her documentary and also in the way she looked at the world. I loved that we spent an entire season learning that yes sometimes it's okay to step away and take a break but it's also okay to return to where you were cause you'll have a new prospective. Gabe and Sam are still the cutest and I'm thrilled they're still together and though Gabe's story was a little less intense this season, I enjoyed seeing him struggle with losing the privilege he had and trying to find ways to work around it. Of course the whole Native American debacle was truly cringe-worthy to watch but the way he fixed the situation by actually giving it to a person of color who needed the money was a good way to make amends. Coco struggled with wanting to be an overachiever and it was super sucky that she ended up not getting the fellowship she wanted and though Troy's storyline wasn't the most interesting, I liked that he ended up making the magazine he wants in the end with the others. The most interesting part to me though was definitely what happened with Muffy and Moses cause it was heartbreaking to watch and so real. I loved the way it not only looked at sexual assault but also hero worship and how something like this doesn't just affect one person but a whole race and a campus community. Reggie breaks my heart every season and he did the same this time and really the boy just needs to go to a therapist cause everything he's been doing until now isn't working!
We don't know yet if this show will get a fourth season but I'm praying it does cause there's just so much story left to tell! Not only are we left on such a cliffhanger, this show is so relevant to today's culture! I hope next season we get to learn more about this Order and I have a feeling that Troy with Sam and Lionel will end up revealing some truths!
Poldark Season 5 Episode 4
I don't know what more Ned could do to get Ross off of his side. Literally everyone has told him that he's a terrible influence and a rebel at heart but Ross can't help but want to help anyway. If anything causes him ruin this season it will be Ned dragging him down. On what damn planet did Ned think that it was a good idea to get the commonfolk all riled up and march them down to George?? Though truth be told I have a feeling that it was the commonfolk that got Ned all riled up but either way Ross needs to step back. Demelza tells him every week to stop putting everyone and everything in front of them and their family and one of these damn days maybe he'll listen. Is it bad that I low key want some sort of fever or plague or something to hit Demelza so that Ross will be able to see that he needs to focus on her? Not like anything that could kill but just a cold would be great. The best moment though was when Ross reprimanded Tess for her creepy flirty looks at him and the way that she can't accept Demelza as her boss but even better was when Demelza herself fired her and it was about time cause she gave Tess so many chances and Tess was nothing but confrontational in return. George was also really heartbreaking this week cause he was just wracked with sadness over Elizabeth's death and I loved how Dwight was there for him for so much of it. Caroline's jealously was super strange though and I'm not sure what she was upset about cause obviously he didn't have a crush on Kitty and obviously he's not hiding from her or lying for fun when she knows well and good that he likes to keep his cases mostly confidential. I do wish that George would join our side for once but I think that he just hates Ross so much that he can't ever do that. On another note Geoffrey Charles and Cecily have decided to elope and I have a feeling that's not going to work out whatsoever.
Next week it looks like we're back in London or at least Ross and George are and something is happening though I don't know what. Ned it seems may be losing his mind and the anti-King and country rhetoric they're talking about really needs to be the straw that breaks the camel's back for Ross cause seriously man.

Young Justice Season 3 Episode 21
What a crazy fun episode with a lot of deep moral questions underneath. Karen and Mal had their baby but what I thought was a joke at first ended up actually happening with Karen transforming her daughter's into a meta. It brings up a lot of questions about designer babies and picking and choosing genes but I'm not going to talk about cause whew those are heavy topics. I just thought it was interesting that in a world such as this where lots of metas kids are being experimented on who wish that the powers could go away, Karen and Mal actually thought it was better to be a meta. Personally I'd definitely chose to be a meta than to not but that's me. I also like that we pretty much now know that Granny is from Apokolips and I'd like to imagine this gives us the advantage but I have a feeling she let them know on purpose and it's not like they've got real proof. I do hope that whatever brainwashing Dick and Jefferson went through isn't going to be a recurring thing cause I'd like to imagine that Violet's powers as a motherbox could fix anything Granny's Overlord did especially since Granny didn't know that Violet was one so her shock at Violet speaking the Old Gods' language was genuine. It's super strange though cause I would have figured with Dr Jace being sketch and working with Ultra Humanite who last I checked was part of the Light that all the others would have known. I low key need to make myself a chart to keep track of who's where and which villains are part of which faction cause Granny is on Darkseid's side and Darkseid is only allies with the Light so it's not like they need to share all their secrets. On that note I'm glad that Violet and Brion were able to reconnect not cause I care for their pairing but since Jace seemed to be trying to split them apart so anything that she doesn't want is good.
FINISHED The 100 Season 6 Episode 13
This was the finale for season 6 of this show and I really don't know what I just experienced. Most of the episode was great and I was totally on board for everything that happened but the ending was just so confusing that it blew my mind. As I expected Russell and co really messed up by going into space cause this was not their territory and I low key love how they went from fake benevolent rulers to who cares about anyone or anything except for us five. At the top of the season they could at least pretend like they cared about their people and now they were just like let them destroy each other down on Sanctum and let's get out of here. I really hope that though it wasn't shown that Russell ended up murdered too cause he was the last Prime left except for Priya who's mind drive somehow made it to Jordan who's totally been brainwashed by whatever the Prime worshippers did. I assume his plan is to bring Priya back to life but like in Jordan's mind what's the point cause he loved someone else not Priya unless the brainwashing changed it so that he can't tell a difference. It's also low key a terrible plan cause the one Nightbloods left are Clarke, Madi, Emori and Murphy and it's not like getting any of them will be easy. It was also low key terrible that Madi had to get her Flame wiped cause it feels like in Legend of Korra when Korra lost her connection to the previous avatars which sucks on it's own but it extra sucks cause the Flame code ended up somewhere else so the Evil Commander can live on. I do think it's a little too much of a retcon for me to enjoy cause it's not like Lexa had to fight with him. I also don't think Octavia is dead cause she's a fan favorite and she and Bellamy just reconciled so I don't want anything to ruin that. The anomaly has to be some kind of magic.
Astra Lost In Space Episode 6
You know what? For once I could actually believe the show when they tell me that Charce might be the enemy after all. We're slowly moving through all our characters and the more we get to know the fewer are left for us to find as the villain and I'm even starting to wonder if maybe there's no villain after all. For all we know Aires cut the communication cause she wanted to spend time with people and make friends and it had nothing to do with needing to kill everyone. If there is a villain, I'd think it'd be a better plot twist for it to be someone who's nice or friendly instead of someone who is a loner like Ulgar. We got Ulgar and Luca's backstories this week and as it turns out both have similar stories in that their parents didn't love them just like Yunha and Luca was adopted like Funicia. As we learned Ulgar had a brother who was digging into Luca's father and ended up dead because of it and like if that wasn't a heartache in itself, it was awful watching Ulgar's father tell Ulgar that it should have been him. Luca on the other hand we learn is intersexual which means that he's got both male and female parts (since he identifies as male we're going to keep calling him as him) and because of that his father basically disowned him which explains his non-reaction last week when asked by press how he feels about losing his son. I'm still trying to figure out what the connection is between our cast and I would still guess it has to do with the parents more than the kids themselves but I can't put it together! In terms of Charce, if he is the bad guy, there was no way to plan for Aires's photographic memory but you would think that he would do the research and know which class none of the crew took if he needed one to talk about.
Krypton Season 2 Episode 9
There was a lot of fighting this week and a death that I'm heartbroken about but tbh if I had to pick one of the main characters to die it would have been Kem no matter how much I'm going to miss him cause I'd prefer Nyssa and Adam and Val to be alive! It was so bittersweet watching each and every one of our heroes try to be heroes and sacrifice themselves for others cause that's what heroes do with Nyssa volunteering to take Dru's ship and Kem manually detonating the bomb in the mines and Adam pushing Val to safety so the rocks landed on him. I'm low key worried that Adam might be paralyzed from the waist down but at the same time I feel like if he is, there's probs a fancy Kryptonian way to fix it cause I haven't seen any real disabilities on this planet. The moon was also destroyed and I feel like that might end up being a really bad thing cause don't the Kryptonians need that moon for minerals to power things? Like what if this moon getting destroyed leads to Krypton overusing it's remaining resources which leads to Krypton getting destroyed? I also still find it a little ridiculous how separate the cities of Krypton are cause you would think the moon is used for all of Krypton and not just Kandor so Dru being the dictator he is might rub the rules of say Argo City the wrong way! I still don't entirely know why we picked Kandor over Argo as our main city when in Superman canon the Els and Zods lived in Argo. Lyta spent the episode righting her wrongs and I'm excited to see her challenge Dru cause the Sagitari are still more loyal to their Primus than anyone else and Lyta's the Primus.
Next week is the finale and I'm excited to see if we end up defeating Dru or not. Doomsday was definitely killed in that explosion so he's lost another tool in his belt and with Lyta alive and well I'd be curious to know how many Sagitari switch sides. It also looks like Lobo will be back and that should be interesting cause he can definitely join Seg and Nyssa in hunting down Brainiac which I feel like will be the plot if we get a new season.
Fruits Basket (2019) Season 1 Episode 19
As I thought last week this episode was leagues better than the 2001 version of this story but honestly at this point I should stop saying that cause every episode of this show is better than the previous version. It's the fact that this version takes these deep topics and lets them play out alongside the more humorous moments while the original version tried to focus solely on the comedy aspect. Ritsu has never been a favorite of mine, in fact I thought of him as a nuisance before, but after watching this episode, my heart grew three sizes watching him. Ritsu is a precious angel that I adore and needs to be protected. I loved that Ritsu is a bit more on the transgender spectrum in this show than before cause now he's wearing women's clothes cause it makes him feel good when before he just wore them cause society allowed women to be more submissive so his constant apologizing and shyness could be overlooked. Not only does it really update Ritsu as a character but it really makes me connect to him more and I'd definitely love to follow him on his journey as we find out whether he chooses to continue dressing like a woman or if he'll choose to return to male clothing. I was also surprised to note that Ritsu is actually closer to our trio's age than Shigure's age like I thought before. I also loved that it was Mitsuru who was the heavily apologetic one this time around instead of Tohru cause I truly thought the 2001 Tohru was too passive and this one has many of the same flaws but she's more confident in herself and I love that. Her speech to Ritsu about how choosing to live shows the most bravery and that everyone needs to find their own reason to live was everything and I actually teared up when we saw Kyoko and baby Tohru cause it was the absolute sweetest moment. I also love that we basically set up a future couple between Mitsuru and Ritsu this week and they're super cute already.
I'm thinking that next week will be the Hiro episode which should be fun cause this show seems to have switched the order of Ritsu and Hiro. After that must be the Kyo true form arc but who knows cause we still have a few more Sohmas left to meet.
