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 20

I actually really loved this week's episode cause it went back to the best form this show has when it embraces it's humor but at the same time adds such deep emotion. I love how much Iruma is happy here in the demon world cause he has friends and family who love him, and an amazing school where people know who he is unlike in the human world where his parents barely notice him and he has to work himself to the bone which is why he was so thrown off when Ameri's dad appeared ready to send him back to the human world the second Iruma mentions being uncomfortable. For some reason I really didn't expect it to be so simple tbh but I guess it makes sense cause we've never actually seen any of the demons hate humans or want to eat them. The best part of the episode though was definitely Ameri's dad having a full mental breakdown when he realized that Ameri might have a crush on Iruma and was growing up cause that's 100% any dad's worst nightmare and I was living. In other news Iruma did end up going up a rank after the Battler Party cause even though they didn't win the Grand Prize, the school decided since Iruma actually helped so much with Kiriwo that they deserved to be rewarded.

ID: Invaded Episode 8

This episode was pretty good though it didn't go the way I thought it would and it definitely left me with more questions than answers by the end. With Momoki arrested as being John Walker, Sakaido and Fukada were sent to enter his well and we spent the entire episode here rather than with Hondoumachi in Kiki's well but it makes sense cause Sakaido is also going into Kiki's well at the end of this episode. I'm honestly so excited by their hopeful meet up next week cause it's one of the things I was most looking forward to. What I'm confused about however is three things. The first of which is the fact that Momoki had a well to visit cause we were told that only killers have wells but I suppose that it's possible that Momoki has killed as a cop before. The second thing is why his well has Kiki's well in it too but that goes back to the fact that I don't understand why those wells are there and what they mean. The third thing is why Momoki freaked out at the end about Sakaido and Fukada being in his well and why he thought it was a trap. I still don't think that Momoki is John Walker and the odds are that he's been framed so I wonder if the cognitive particles they found actually belong to the real John Walker and not Momoki himself which is why Momoki panicked when he realized that his friend would be walking into a possible trap. It would explain a lot of the other things I was confused about if the well wasn't Momoki's! I also had the thought as I watched this episode how fascinating it is that Sakaido is so kind in the wells compared to Hondoumachi who's so cold when in real life they're the opposites. It makes me really wonder what these id well personas are.

Batwoman Season 1 Episode 12

I AM FURIOUS WITH THIS EPISODE! How could it play with my emotions like this??? I mean part of me knew that no matter what it had to be Alice not Beth that survived cause duh Alice would lead to more drama for this show but that didn't stop my heart from wishing it would be Beth anyway! Also did I or did I not call it that Beth would be killed for looking like Alice though I totally expected it to be Sophie who did it but instead it was Mouse's father who was pissed that Alice stole his son away? I still don't entirely know why Kate couldn't have called Sophie and been like yo Alice is chained to a bed in Mary's clinic so that the Crows would leave Wayne Tower and Beth could be safe. I also don't know why Beth and Luke couldn't stay in the Batcave cause dudes if it was that easy for the Crows to get in then Batman would be an idiot which is besides the point cause if they're so worried that the Crows will find Beth in the Batcave then wouldn't they also literally find the Batcave and ruin Batwoman's secret identity? I do suppose that all this will just make Alice even more pissed at Kate and Jacob cause when push came to shove Kate picked Beth over Alice and if that doesn't kill the last piece of good in her, I don't know what will. It also high key sucks that with the only doctor who would help ending up being Mouse's dad that Jacob has lost his best chance at leaving. Also also I hate this story of no one believing that Mouse impersonated Jacob cause now we live in a world with aliens and metas so why is it so out of the realm of thought that someone could look like someone else? Kate needs to call J'onn! 

The promo for next week feels really weird cause it has nothing to do with Alice or Beth and Kate seems as upbeat as normal which she really shouldn't be after losing Beth. I do like the idea of a vampire as the villain of the week and if she's actually a meta I will be furious cause it just adds to my anger with this Jacob storyline.

The Flash Season 6 Episode 12

We finally met Sue Dearbon this week after having teased us about it for almost a full year! Though it gave us a real logical reason to have Ralph come and go off this show (unlike other characters who straight up just disappear for weeks on end) it also makes Ralph look like a bit of an idiot for having so much trouble hunting down one woman. At first I was going to be full of complaints like the show was being too heavy-handed with look how quirky™ Sue is and look at Cecile totally shipping them! Like dude show chill a little. But with the reveal that Sue was actually a thief and hunting down Black Hole I was all the way back on! Sue's actually a complete badass and we all know Sue and Ralph are married in the comics so the fact that the show is letting their relationship build more naturally is everything cause I worried that they would fall in love in this episode. I also really loved the Iris and Eva stuff we got even though I totally spent the whole time wondering if Eva was secretly evil cause I can't help but see new bad guys everywhere and though she ended up actually being nothing more than a traumatized woman stuck in a horrible situation, I have a feeling that her villain origin story is still coming. She's totally a revamped Mirror Master and I see more drama coming from if she was bad than good. I mean we still don't know what that mirror version of Iris living in the world is or where it came from but then again if Eva could make mirror copies I'm sure she would have made one of herself to keep her husband from moving on. 

The promo for next week was a totally mind trippy cause with Grodd and Harry and Danielle appearing as Caitlin it reminded me a lot of a season 2 episode of Flash. I do wonder how long it'll take Barry to realize that Iris isn't Iris but I'm also looking forward to finding out what's going on with Nash.

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 5

I loved this week's episode of Legends cause it was everything I missed last week. I loved seeing Zari and Ava work together to take down Marie Antoinette and seeing Ava see something more in Zari than the annoyance Ava thought she was and it was good of not only Ava but all the Legends to not bring down the hammer on Zari when she made the decision to use magic to fix her problems cause the Legends have done much worse. The way the episode ended with Ava and Zari becoming friends was amazing cause neither have had any for a while and it was just so sweet. I also loved the small moment Marie and Zari had where they bonded over who they were as people and who people saw them as cause I've always thought it was way harsh the way Marie was seen in history cause yeah she cared more about parties and having fun than the people but seriously every king and queen were like that across history so the fact that it was Marie that was focused on is a little unfair. I'm also super into Nate hardcore fan-girling over Zari in the background as she did her thing and when he punched Zari's current boyfriend I almost died of laughter. The Constantine story was also pretty interesting cause it gave more context into who he was as a person but it ended in the most horrific way. He can't be dead right cause that's totally messed up!! But I can't imagine that if Astra went through all that trouble to speed up his death that she would be like give him 3 months to live or something. I'm also really curious about Charlie and the Loom of Fate cause for a while I had been saying that Charlie was pointless as a character and now she's finally got something to do! I wonder if she's supposed to be one of those witches that run the Loom or whether they can use that to save Astra and now Constantine. 

Next week's promo shows us that the Encore we're chasing is Genghis Khan which is totally awesome and it looks like he might be thrown into modern day cause he's on scooters rather than horses which I'm sure will be hilarious.

The Magicians Season 5 Episode 7

I wasn't the biggest fan of this week's episode though there was still plenty of fun moments overall. As it turned out moving the moon last week changed the way magic worked in the world and like I was sitting here like duh you dummies though in this world it was more magical than shifting tectonic plates and the such. The moon apparently has feelings and was pissed at the humans for everything it went through which is why magic is all messed up on Earth now. Penny 23 was made Acting Dean with Dean Fogg's disappearance and when the crew called for help, Dean Fogg from timeline 17 showed up and he mostly just the villain of the week which we were able to take down. While this was happening Penny and Julia were fighting over her need to constantly save the world and his want to just relax and like I was totally on Julia's side in all this cause it's like Penny you're one of the idiots who live in this world so why are you like let's just let things happen and not help! Also Alice met a new guy and I'm really worried that he's going to be a love interest and I'm not about that literally at all! Over in Fillory we finally found out what's going on in this world. Though it was a plot of the Dark King's advisor to hunt down fairies, the Dark King isn't all that clean either. As we find out in the end, he's the one who's been making the Takers by sacrificing gold though I still have no idea what the Takers are supposed to be. At least it seems now like maybe killing him might stop the Takers and if that's the case, we can totally do it!

The promo for next week shows us that Eliot might actually go to the Dark King and be like I know what's up which seems like a real dumb move to show your hand early like that. I don't see Julia with the Fillory crew but I'm sure she'll show up cause while Alice and Penny are busy in Brakebills and Kady is helping the hedges, Julia was on her way.

FINISHED Harley Quinn Season 1 Episode 13

The season finale of Harley Quinn just aired and it was a crazy adventure that I'm not sure how or if we'll move on from! I mean talk about destroying the world before closing your show! After Ivy died Harley and her crew decided to team up with Batman to take down Joker but in an odd twist everyone was defeated in like three seconds and dudes I totally expected more from Batman! I also high key expected the Justice League to come back at some point especially with Fables dead but it looks like they're still stuck there and apparently they only consist of three people. The younger sidekicks were also missing and I don't just mean Robin cause we know based on an earlier episode that there is a Teen Titans team but I suppose I can let that all go cause this is a Harley Quinn show afterall and this whole season was leading up to this final confrontation between the two. And seriously what a confrontation it was! Joker realized after he got everything that he wanted that he actually wasn't all that happy afterall and it was because he didn't have Harley beside him. This was a fascinating twist cause I never really thought that Joker was in love with Harley (especially after the way he treated her all season) but of course in true Joker crazy fashion he decided that since he doesn't like having a weakness that he was going to turn her back into Harleen Quinzel and in a twist that literally everyone and their mother saw coming Ivy came back to life and saved the day cause she is the most OP of the characters on this show!
