FINISHED Poldark Season 5 Episode 7 and 8
Wow for some reason Poldark decided to air it's penultimate and finale back to back so let's jump in and talk about not only the end of the season but the series in general! I have to admit I'm more saddened by the loss of this show than I thought I would be. I've always been on the fence about whether or not I enjoy this show cause I've always felt like unlike many period dramas, this one tended to showcase our main couple falling in and out of love which is honestly just sad to watch but looking back over the past five seasons it makes sense cause love is ever changing and it's not as easy as tv and movies make it out to be. It requires work and sacrifice and was there ever a couple that embedded this more than Ross and Demelza? The finale was hard to watch cause Ross continued to lie to Demelza about his working with the French and she thought he fell in love with Tess which was the worst person for Ross to pick after everything she did this season but the 180 turn after Demelza figured out the truth and saved Ross's ass was perfection. You could see the fear in his eyes when Demelza showed up at the house and the sheer relief later when she forgave him for everything. It was especially lovely seeing that George stepped up and actually helped cause despite everything, he's not the monster that the other two were and you could see it in his eyes every time one of them planned another murder. I still low key wish that he had given Trenwith back to Geoffrey Charles as it should have been his in the first place as the eldest son since George isn't planning on ever coming back since it is haunted by Elizabeth but that might be asking too much from George's heart. Caroline and Dwight also solved their problems and I'm so glad that Caroline explained her sudden bout of jealously about Kitty as a means for her to keep him at arms length cause I've been saying for weeks that he doesn't seem to be treating Kitty any special way and it was strange of Caroline to fear it but I'd like to imagine now that they've fixed their problems that they'll have a child too that can play with Ross and Demelza's newest! I will miss this insane show and the wonderful chemistry between Aidan and Eleanor and I can't wait to see what else they work in!
FINISHED Young Justice Season 3 Episode 24, 25 and 26
I really should pay attention to airdates cause, like Poldark, I had no idea that the final three episodes of season 3 were airing back to back this week but I'm not complaining cause more tv is great for me! Anyway let's dive in and talk about how season 3 ended! Let's start with the elephant in the room that was Wally West. Guys I cried and cried and cried thinking that this really was the end of Wally and Artemis cause like Artemis I believed that she had entered Limbo and met the spirit of Wally which is why I was heartbroken at the idea that he would never return! But in the end it turned out that M'gann and Zatana faked the whole thing so instead of giving me closure like the episode wanted, I'm still holding out hope but I'm also so so relieved that Artemis and Will didn't get together. Like I don't mind Artemis moving on (and hoping that as soon as she does Wally comes back so all the drama ensues) but Will is her brother-in-law and that's creepy! I loved the way Cyborg and Halo kicked ass and defeated Granny and it's kind of hilarious cause last week I really thought that it would be harder for our heroes to defeat Anti-Life but I totally forgot that Cyborg is a father-box so of course he'd be OP! As I also suspected we didn't get to Darkseid cause we focused back on Earth problems and the Light though as always, the heroes got a small win while behind-the-scenes, the Light won out in my opinion. I was stunned beyond measure when Brion suddenly went power-mad and was assuming that his advisor would be a Martian or some sort of telepath controlling Brion and the people but was confused as to why M'gann couldn't pick it up. I was right about the whole telepathy thing and I'm assuming M'gann didn't figure it out so we could get to this point. Lex was also ousted from the UN and the League, Batman Inc, Young Justice and the Outsiders are recombining under the authority of Black Lightning which isn't the biggest win but feels like a win to me. I'm assuming that Nightwing will lead Young Justice and Superboy will lead the Outsiders (still wishing it was called Teen Titans!) but part of me just dislikes this version of Black Lightning with his holier than thou attitude so I'm not thrilled he's in charge but I'll get over it.
As we know from SDCC 2019, there will be a season 4 for Young Justice though we don't know anything about when or what it'll be about. Maybe we'll finally battle Darkseid? I assume we'll also have to deal with the Brion stuff but overall I'm just hoping that the next season will be much more simplified in terms of story. Though it all came together at the end, I felt like this season just had too many storylines to juggle and with the way it aired, I kept finding myself feeling like I was forgetting something so hopefully next season does better! It also doesn't help that there's a million characters now so I hope the show does better with balancing screen time for them.
Astra Lost In Space Episode 9
Well shit. That's all I could think of as this episode came to a close! We learned so much and so many reveals took place that my mind is straight up blown! Let's start at the top and work our way through. We finally figured out what the reasoning behind sending our whole crew to their deaths was and it was the fact that everyone on board was a clone of their so-called parents which is totally and completely insane! I said last week that the clues were all there but I couldn't figure out how they fit together and now that the cloning thing has been explained, suddenly everything is crystal clear. It explains why every person on this ship had a terrible relationship with their parents and why none of those parents were upset to lose their kid in space. The only thing this reveal didn't do was explain Aries who is still the outlier in the group cause her mom was the only parent to love her and the whole Seira thing. I wonder if maybe she was actually a clone of Seira who was given up for adoption without her adoptive mom knowing the truth and that it was a situation where she was created to give organs to a sick Seira. We never did get a proper timeline when Charce was explaining his backstory. It's possible Seira was always sick or that she fell when she was younger so it would give Aries time to grow up or that Seira was older than Charce making Aries and Charce the same age. On the other hand maybe Aries is still Seira with amnesia and replaced memories due to Zack's father as a beta test of a sort with or without the clone part. We also saw Quitterie and Zack announce their marriage to the crew and it was definitely a lighthearted moment we needed in between two major announcements and I loved how the whole crew was just as stunned as we all were to find out that Zack was in love with Quitterie this whole time. The other huge shock was the reveal that Polina is actually from Earth but our whole crew is from a planet called Astra. I knew there had to be more to Polina and what happened to her but she was only in ice for 12 years so maybe there just were two planets with humans on them cause otherwise 12 years is too short of a time to move everyone on Earth over to Astra or to make the people of Astra forget that their planet used to be called Earth before some big world changing event.
Fruits Basket (2019) Season 1 Episode 22
Surprisingly we got another episode for Hana this week that explained more of her backstory and though I know I said last week that the episode felt like filler and I didn't like Uo's backstory, I actually ended up really enjoying Hana's. I think it had to do with the fact that it was just so heartbreaking and sad! I mean poor Hana not only had to fight with being unable to control her wave power but she also got bullied practically her entire life. Children are honestly the worst and it was so hard to watch Hana think that she killed someone and that she needed to be punished for the rest of her life because of it! It was a much darker reason than I expected for why Hana wore black all the time and honestly it makes me appreciate her even more. I was also surprised to find out that her wave power was like legit mind reading rather than more of a comedic thing like in the 2001 anime. It was also the first time we met Hana's parents and I have to say, her whole family was honestly so sweet. They clearly love her so much despite everything and I don't know why but I totally expected her parents to dislike her and her powers but maybe that's just cause she reminds me of the Sohmas and all of their parents hate them so I just kind of expected it from Hana's too. Megumi is such a sweetheart too and it was so sweet of him to wear black all the time just to support Hana too. Tohru was once again basically an angel that appeared out of nowhere to show others that the world isn't as dark as it seems and it just makes her relationship with Yuki and Kyo all the more important cause where she has been a guiding light for others, they are one for her.
Honestly I don't even know what we'll get next week cause I expected Kyo's true form arc to start now but maybe it'll start next week? All I know is that we've only got 3 episodes remaining this season and I also don't know when the next season comes out!
