What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

Astra Lost In Space Episode 10

Honestly I'm a little surprised that the traitor was Charce all along cause I had such a strong feeling that it was Aries though I debated whether it was under some sort of mind control where she didn't know what she was doing or out of her own free will. Her circumstances were just so different than the others that it was sketchy to me! It wasn't until the very end where Kanata talked to Charce and Zack about Ulgar being the traitor that I was like ah it's Charce after all cause I definitely didn't think it was Zack or Ulgar and I had a feeling that Charce being the exchange student meant something more than he talked about. Unfortunately we didn't get to find out what his reasoning was this episode but I have a feeling that it relates back to Seira again who I'm still thinking is connected to Aires somehow. Maybe he was told that if you do this then we'll save her life or something. I was also confused about what Kanata and Aires talked about the night before they landed on their final planet but I think it was just him asking her who was the last one into the sphere to figure out who the traitor was. I still low key ship Aires with Charce though but I think that ship has sailed long ago but now more so with Kanata seemingly realizing that he likes Aires too. On another note we also learned more about the whole Earth v Astra mystery. I want to give a shoutout to the show's amazing writing and how we went full circle with the ice planet that the kids first landed at being Earth! It's so crazy that all the people of Earth were transported to Astra but I have a feeling that the reason for the whole World War III story is that they were only able to transport half of the Earth's population and they needed a reason to pretend. Beyond that it seems crazy that every single adult in this world has kept quiet on the truth cause like Zack said, it's only been like 7 years or so since they immigrated so the majority of the public would still remember. It's also possible that the timing is wrong in general and like the general public was placed in stasis while a few built up Astra and then released onto Astra pretending like no time had passed.

Titans Season 2 Episode 1

I didn't want to particularly judge this episode cause I had a feeling that this season would be totally rebooted based on what worked and what didn't from last season and from Doom Patrol but in order for that reboot to take place, we needed to wrap up last season. This of course led to me not really particularly caring about what was happening for most of this episode and also being annoyed with the writing and the pacing. I'll never not be bitter than one of the biggest villains of Teen Titans was used in the first season and ended up being nowhere near as powerful or scary and defeated way too fast. I mean of course it had to be Rachel who beat Trigon cause she's the key to his destruction and formation but it just felt so meh. I don't want to harp on this too much though cause like I said soft reboot. I'm already thrilled that Gar turned into a snake so here's hoping that they can keep making him shift into more than just a tiger and I was glad we finally cast a Bruce cause it gets annoying to constantly work around him. He's not exactly what I picture as a Bruce or a Batman but I'm open to see what happens. I also for some reason never realized that there was a Titans team already which got disbanded only to be resurrected now with our new heroes but I love the idea especially with having Slade see their return on the news and have his hatred resurrected. I'm already ten times more interested in him than Trigon last season so that's a plus. I kind of hope that he'll be a recurring rather than a season long villain cause duh you can't do Titans without the Judas Contract but I will literally murder someone if we try it this season! Stop blowing your load before we're ready show! Also is anyone else low key disappointed that Titans Tower isn't in the shape of a T?

Next week's episode is called Rose which means Rose Wilson will be appearing but really more than that I hope we're able to slow down a bit and stop throwing new characters into the mix when we don't even entirely know our cast yet! I'm still complaining about that and we're on season 2!

Fruits Basket (2019) Season 1 Episode 23

Can you hear my shrieking through the computer screen? Not only is Kyo my favorite Sohma member, Kyo's true form arc was the meatiest part of the 2001 version so I've been waiting and waiting to see how this version plays it! It's really interesting to watch this first season and see how much of it was Yuki-centric and how much time Tohru spent with him when we barely see Kyo on screen or hanging out with Tohru and it makes me wonder if that was because the second season will be focused on Kyo or if this true form arc will be most of the Kyo time we need? I enjoyed this episode of course but it was more of a setup to the heart break that will come. I was trying to remember if it rained at all this season cause I don't remember the whole sluggish Kyo thing happen other than in the 2001 episode. Despite that I really enjoyed that Kyo finally got to show his sweeter side by making porridge and comforting Tohru when she was upset about failing her exam and getting sick. He's such a tsundere with his warm heart that he tries to hide underneath all this acting like he couldn't care less though of course everyone in his life can see through it. I'm curious to know more about how Kagura reacted when she saw Kyo's true form cause I have a feeling that she didn't react in a positive manner otherwise Kyo wouldn't have distanced himself but part of me still really dislikes her so I'm like ugh not again. We also got a glimpse of Kyo's martial arts master who is a Sohma but if I remember correctly isn't a zodiac member. Also we returned to whatever that hat is and while I thought we figured out weeks ago that it was a Yuki thing, I wonder if it's a both thing cause the show went out it's way to hide it from Kyo and if he had no relation with it, why bother?

Like I said next week should continue Kyo's true form arc so who else is pumped???
