What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

Welcome To Demon School Iruma-Kun Episode 19

This week's episode was actually really funny again at least in the ironic sense of the word cause the first half dealt with the removal of Kiriwo. While Iruma and Kiriwo were having their battle of words, the teachers managed to send a message to Sullivan which was hilarious cause he just straight up-and-left without even a how do you do and it just shows you how much stronger he is than pretty much everyone else as the only reason they held him is cause he thought it was fun. He was able to stop the firework debris from destroying Babyls and they ended up arresting Kiriwo but what was interesting was that Kiriwo didn't name Baal as an accomplice so it's possible that Baal tries something sketch at some point before this show comes to an end. The second half of the episode was more sweet with us not only meeting Azz and Clara's families but also Iruma realizing that Sullivan and Opera have become more of his family than his own biological parents were. I'm curious though about why Clara's dad and older brother and Sabro's older brother won't shown cause the only reason to do so is if they're important people to surprise us with in the future. Maybe Baal is Sabro's older brother cause they are both blondes??

ID: Invaded Episode 7

One of the struggles with this show is how complex the world is and how if I understood Japanese then I might be able to understand what information we're given on the first go round. Instead I have to pause and rewind so many times cause there's just so much to digest! This week we have Hondoumachi dive into Sakaido's well in order to find out if John Walker had entered Sakaido's mind like the other serial killers but it led to more questions than anything else. At first glance it doesn't appear as though John Walker had gone into his mind but somehow Sakaido's cognitive particles from 3 years ago are still connected to his current unconscious and at the same time the fact that there was a well for the final Challenger victim inside his own well is very confusing. I'm assuming that since Hondoumachi entered it that we'll see it next week and hopefully it'll answer some questions. Maybe John Walker kidnapped the final Challenger victim and has been using her to control Sakaido though his well? At the very least my theory about the serial killer who killed Sakaido's family still being alive was shot down cause we see him kill the Challenger this week in a flashback. I also refuse to believe that Momoki is John Walker cause not only does it feel too soon to have that reveal but the fact that all that evidence was just chilling there ready to be found makes me think he was framed for sure. I still think if it's anyone in the police force it has to be the Chief! 

The Flash Season 6 Episode 11

At first glance I want to say that I really enjoyed this week's episode mostly cause of everything Iris went through but everything that happened was marred by the fact that the Iris we saw wasn't the real Iris. I spent most of the episode going back and forth about what was real and not but in the end we saw that basically everything Iris and Barry struggled with in terms of their marriage wasn't even real. I mean it's possible that the mirror just enhanced things that Iris already felt about being a damsel or needing to be out in the field but like Barry her discontent came out of nowhere and it would have felt more real if we had seen Iris struggle before this moment. As a sidebar do you think that Barry has been like sleeping with some woman that isn't his wife? I was living though for Iris taking charge and while Barry ran around like a chicken with his head cut off, she was able to piece together Amunet's entire plan and it was extremely hilarious to end the whole thing with Amunet and Goldface getting back together. On the other side of things Frost and Allegra tried to get Allegra back with her ex and it was all very meh. I'm still waiting for the reveal that Allegra is Nash's daughter cause now I'm fairly sure that she's a daughter and not an ex based on how Frost's joke about Nash being parental. The most interesting part of this whole thing was Nash's sudden hallucination of Harry Wells and the thought that maybe this is how the Arrowverse finds out that there is a multiverse again. As a sidebar where in the world is Ralph? I miss him so much!

Next week's promo was a little hard to understand but maybe Barry and company will figure out that Iris isn't Iris. It'd be really interesting if we saw the episode from Iris's POV as she stalked them around different mirrors.

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 4

I wasn't the hugest fan of this week's episode and mostly I think I just didn't care for most of the storylines for each person. At first I was low key annoyed cause I didn't love the message that serial killers are just poor sad boys who needed one person to love them cause not only is mental illness so much more complex than that but also it gives a bit of fault to the victims. Not every person who's had a bad childhood turns into a murderer! That's why I loved the twist that the killer had been Freddie's mom all along and that he only took the fall to protect her. Mick, Sara and Ava were in the present day but they really didn't do much while Nate, Ray and Nora were in the past and tried to help Freddie have the best prom ever. I did really love that helping Freddie helped Nora figure out that she could actually be a really good Fairy Godmother who could really help children in need though I'm still curious how she and Ray will leave the show especially with Nora getting a sudden look at all the good she could do. Maybe it'll be as simple as Ray deciding he wants to travel with Nora full time instead of being on the ship? Zari and Behrad got some screen-time together and I'm still loving how real their sibling relationship feels but I'm most interested in how Zari got a flash of her old timeline. I guess that means that she'll be getting her old memories back as the show goes on while also keeping her current ones like Mia did on Arrow and I really like this idea tbh cause it'll bring back the Zari we love but also give us bits of the new one. Constantine went back home in order to meet up with an old witch he knew and for a second I got all excited thinking that maybe it'd be Zatana cause what other witch rolls in Constantine's comic crew but he said it was Astra's mom so I guess it'll be someone from his show instead.

Next week's promo looks like the fun I had been missing this week with the crew going to see Marie Antoniette which I can't wait for.

Riverdale Season 4 Episode 13

This episode made my blood boil and seriously that was such a good thing cause Riverdale has been so off-the-walls insane for so long that nothing mattered. I mean how the hell am I supposed to emotionally attach myself to a tickle porn storyline?? Of course in true Riverdale fashion the ending was back to being completely ridiculous but let's start with the stuff I actually connected to. Poor Jughead was not only kicked out of Stonewall but he also lost the Baxter Books contract and even his draft of the Boy In The River all because Stonewall was basically just using him like they did his grandpa. He almost was kicked out of Yale but luckily I think that by dropping out of Stonewall, the others won't be pressing the whole plagiarism thing. In the end though we finally caught up to the whole Jughead murder thing and it looks like we actually did get the whole story in previous flash forwards but in the way that the Stonewall Four are hiding the real truth. We're supposed to believe that Betty killed Jughead in a fugue state cause of Evelyn's magic trigger words but I imagine that if there was a fugue state that it just froze Betty long enough for Evelyn or Bret to attack Jughead. I also have a feeling that Archie did feel Jughead's pulse or Jughead whispered something and Archie is playing along cause I still want to hope that Jughead's alive. In other news Archie decided not to sell Andrews Construction or the community center, and Veronica struggled with Hiram's illness only to decide that the best way to perk him up was to reignite his competitive spirit.

We're taking two weeks off before the next episode of Riverdale airs and that's so annoying cause what kind of cliffhanger are they leaving us on! We also didn't get a promo after this episode aired and that's even more annoying.

The Magicians Season 5 Episode 5 & 6

I still don't know why we got two episodes back to back this week when it's not a midseason or a season finale but we got two hours of The Magicians and that's pretty damn awesome so I'm not complaining! These episodes were awesome overall as we faced not just the Harmonic Convergence but also the moon debris smashing the Earth to pieces. As a sidebar it was another two episodes of Eliot mourning what happened last season only this time it was more about his trauma about having been the Monster for a season rather than his pain about Quentin. Our whole crew came together to try to move the moon and we would have been good to go if it wasn't for Marina who came in and tried to stop us though she didn't say what she wanted. This sucks on so many levels cause though we were able to fix what happened in terms of the moon (with the help of magic whales which was hilarious as usual) Alice and Julia still made that deal to give their shade to that girl and I'm not thrilled about that cause without a shade it's back to season 2 Alice and Julia but I guess that's why they were offered the choice of giving it up cause if anyone could deal with no shade it's them. I also really loved that Eliot and Margo were the two to be stuck in a time loop cause of them spraying that time perfume on themselves earlier in the season as it gave them a real reason to be stuck in this loop! Meanwhile in Fillory Fen met a fairy but unfortunately we didn't get to see her meet any of the fairies this week because as we learned at the end of the episode, the Apocalypse was happening in Fillory not Earth so it looks like everyone will be heading there next week.

The promo for next week shows us that everyone will be heading to Fillory to figure out what's been going on and it looks like the Takers and possibly the Dark King will be what actually leads to the Apocalypse but I'm mostly just excited to see everyone in Fillory again cause it's been a while since anyone but Margo, Eliot, Josh and Fen dealt with Fillory stuff.

Harley Quinn Season 1 Episode 12

This episode was the penultimate episode and it was definitely crazy enough to ramp us up for the finale! We learned that it wasn't actually the Legion that was trying to do this whole plant monster thing but in fact Joker trying to destroy the Legion with the help of Scarecrow and Fables who joined cause she wanted to be on the winning side. I do wonder where the other Legion members are but it's possible that Fables sucked them into her book like she did the Justice League. Now that she's dead I suppose opening her book might be a way to release them again? Ivy kicked major ass as usual but I absolutely refuse to believe that she's dead cause there's no way that Ivy dies when she's one of the best parts of this show! I also really loved the joke that everyone but Harley knew that Ivy and Kiteman were dating cause I do adore them together and it's hilarious how everyone else is like Ivy what do you see in him? Jim Gordon is the best as the comedic relief character in this show and I will never get tired of him being the strung-out crazy one who wants to send in tanks and bombs all the time but is held back just enough by Batman to take the more logical route.
