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 21

This was such a weird episode tbh cause it felt like such filler but at the same time it had important information in it that is needed to flesh out another supporting character in this show. I think the problem was the placement of this episode cause we just got out of a huge arc where the school was almost destroyed and now we've moved over to looking at a random background character's backstory! Having said that it was interesting to learn more about Keroli and why she always seemed to hate Iruma so much and yet was so timid about everything. As it turns out she's from a family of really magical demons but like Kiriwo her magic isn't as strong but she found that she was much cuter than the average demon so she found her place in the world after all and became a demon idol. She's apparently trying not to stand out at Babyls though she didn't exactly say why but is pissed at Iruma for continuously stealing the spotlight from her idol persona which is why the ending was hilarious cause Iruma was talking about how jealous he is that she was able not to stand out and he can't help but do even when he tries to hard not to. I do wonder if there's more to this arc or whether it really was meant to shade in this world some more. We've only got 2 more episodes to go until the finale and I haven't heard about another season for this show so I'm wondering if Iruma being human will ever be outed or if he'll become the Demon King or if the show will only hint at this possible future.

ID: Invaded Episode 9

Talk about being utterly confused about everything! Last we saw Sakaido entered Kiki's ID well from Momoki's supposed ID well but we were dropped into this strange world where not only did Sakaido remember everything about who he was and where he was but it was so different from most ID wells and it just gave me more questions than answers! It seems as though Kiki is manifested as Kaeru in the Mizuhanome and the real girl had this strange ability to broadcast her thoughts to other people and have other people enter her mind though dreams. This is totally freaky cause despite all the cool technology in this world I didn't think we were entering science fiction but here we are. I suppose we're supposed to believe that Kiki is the reason for the Mizuhanome system to exist at all and I bet you that she's actually somehow plugged into it as a conduit for the technology to work which is why she disappeared after being saved by Momoki from the Challenger and then after that the Mizuhanome was invented. It adds to my theory that the Chief of Police is John Walker cause John Walker seemed to be the first one to notice Kiki's strange quirk and use it to form other serial killers and if he ended up being the inventor of the Mizuhanome then that would make so much sense as to why she was Kaeru. I do wonder where Hondoumachi is in this world or whether she has her own separate from Sakaido's.

Batwoman Season 1 Episode 13

I said last week that the promo for this week felt totally fun and crazy and out of sync with what should have been the tone of this show after the death of Beth last week but oddly enough after watching this episode I found myself totally on board with everything in this episode. The vampire villain was totally fun to watch and much more interesting than any other weekly villain but it was totally insane that she was stealing blood in order to fix her medical condition cause it's like girl just go to a hospital! The best part of this whole thing was that it allowed Mary to finally find out the truth about Kate and how she's Batwoman and I'm super looking forward to what happens next. I still high key want Jacob to find out the truth cause like I've said before one of my favorite things about Batwoman in DC comics is the fact that Jacob knows and he tries to help her when he can. Sophie it seems is also back onto Kate's radar and I'm just so over that cause I really don't like Sophie and I don't like that she's so into Batwoman cause I'm never actually a fan of when superheroes hook up with their lovers without the lover knowing who they are under the mask. It was also interesting to note that after everything that happened last week, Jacob was set free but also Alice figured out pretty quickly that Mouse's dad is running around. I oddly expected more from Alice after Kate chose to let her die last week but it seemed like nothing really changed in Alice's mind though I do wonder if she's just playing Kate.

There's no Batwoman next week but the promo for two weeks from now doesn't show any Mary but it does show Batwoman and Sophie are basically dating and that makes me wonder what Sophie told Jacob cause he definitely gave her an ultimatum this week and I thought she had picked the Crows but maybe she picked Batwoman instead?

The Flash Season 6 Episode 13

This was a super fun episode of Flash cause it looked at more of the changes Crisis made on the world and I really enjoyed the small things like Barry not knowing that a certain road had become a train track or not knowing where his parents' graves were. I still think it's hilarious that Barry is supposed to be the one to build Gideon cause the dude has never done anything electronic during the course of this show but we saw him trying to make Gideon into a small earpiece tonight which I'm assuming is in response to the fact that most of Team Flash have their own things going on so they no longer are around to be on the coms. It led to the overall set up of this episode being that he was thrown back into the past in Grodd's mindscape and honestly maybe I'm a sucker but Grodd's whole plea for help really tugged on my heartstrings and I was like dude Barry help the poor thing! All he wants is to go home to Gorilla City and I loved how he helped Barry start seeing that he needs to look forward rather than backwards. Meanwhile Allegra finally figured out that Nash was her father in another universe and was super freaked out about it and when Nash tried to go explain himself he was stopped. I know the internet was joking about Nash might have all the multiverse of Harrison Wells inside of him but now it seems like that might actually be what's happening. I am really annoyed about the fact that Eobard seems to be in there too when it's like he's not a Wells! Idk why the show keeps forgetting that he actually killed the real Earth 1 Harrison Wells and stole his face. We also finally learned what was up with Mirror Iris and Eva and like I thought Eva is a bad guy after all though we don't know yet if she's working with Black Hole or an independent bad guy.  

It doesn't look like we'll be getting a new episode of the Flash next week which sucks super hardcore cause my baby Wally is coming back! It seems like something Barry did (probs during Crisis when Oliver opened up his powers) messed with the Speed Force and Wally is here to be like dude!

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 6

This was a mixed bag in terms of what emotions it brought out in me and in the show cause on the one hand we had all the humor of Genghis Khan and his scooter army but on the other we were dealing with Constantine's lung cancer. Let's start with the Constantine stuff cause that's what kept my attention more this week. With Astra speeding up his death last week, Constantine had 4 hours left to live and it was super weird cause like I said last week if she wanted him to die immediately why not speed his coin to zero? He tried to get Nora to fix his cancer but it didn't work and I'm not entirely sure why except that it would have ruined the plot of the episode cause like Constantine said if magic did it then magic should have fixed it. In the end though Astra changed her mind and decided to let Constantine try his plan with the Loom Of Fate and Charlie. Constantine's plan from what I can gather is to use the Loom in order to stop Natalie from dying so that none of what followed would happen and honestly I could totally see that being the finale for this season. It would give us enough time to worry about Charlie and her Fate sisters coming after her and find a way to stop the Encores permanently. Speaking of Charlie, I was totally right in guessing that she's probs one of the Fates that controlled the Loom which she told us herself! In other news apparently she and Behrad hooked up after the end of last season and it was hilarious to see Behrad struggle about what they were now. Even better was when Nate made a comment about how if Behrad was a woman he'd date her and Behrad was like um like my sister?

We're taking next week off so the promo that we saw is for two weeks from now which looks beyond hilarious and I'll be curious to see how everyone is stuck in a children's cartoon sitcom show. I have a feeling that it was somehow Nora granting a wish for her current child.

Riverdale Season 4 Episode 14

I really don't know what to think about what happening on this show cause I can't decide if Jughead is dead dead or not. I can't imagine that this show would kill off one of it's main characters like this but at the same time we saw Jughead's dead body. But if he is dead dead, I will be pissed about the reception to his death even more than his actual death. I mean seriously Jughead died and yet Betty, Archie and Veronica are showing as much emotion as a wall. Jughead was their best friend and the love of Betty's life and yet none of them even shed a tear? Archie's mom showed more sadness than any one of them! So from what it looks like Donna and Bret killed Jughead and they're trying to blame it on Betty cause they dosed her with some drug that made her lose consciousness and smeared Jughead's body with her DNA but I'm sitting here like um Betty is Jughead's girlfriend so even if they find Betty's button or hair on him, she can easily say that they were making out earlier or something. Ugh but seriously guys every time we look at Bret or Donna's smug faces I really want to punch them so hard. I mean they even went as far as calling Veronica's college and getting them to rescind her acceptance? Why don't they grow up and find something else to do? It's why I was living for Betty calling Donna out and being like I'm the daughter of the goddamn Black Hood so come at me bitch and see what happens. On another note I don't really love that Betty refuses to trust anyone but Charles with the truth cause we know that Charles isn't what he seems though I don't know if he's on Stonewall's side of if he's got some other scheme cooking. At least Archie talked to his mom about everything cause a lawyer is definitely going to be helpful.

Next week's promo shows that FP is going to be arresting Betty, Archie, and Veronica for Jughead's murder so we'll probs also get that flash forward scene where Donna and Bret finger them for his death. I wonder if the rest of the season is going to be about this or whether we'll figure out the truth earlier? I just really really really don't want Jughead to be dead dead.

The Magicians Season 5 Episode 8

Guys I loved this episode so much! I'm always super into when The Magicians goes crazy with it's plot points and just in this episode we had Margo and Eliot swapping bodies, a zombie fungal infection at Brakebills, and Julia finding out that she's pregnant. Let's start with the Brakebills stuff cause it was the least interesting of the three storylines. I'm still pissed that Alice's new love interest who's name I still don't know is sticking around like the mold no one wants (pun not intended) cause of course Quentin left a page with a plant on it cause how else would a botanist become important? I did like their talk about mourning and how long grief would last and the idea of spreading the fungus across multiple hosts was a good one though super creepy cause now half of Brakebills has a fungus in them. We also set up a new villain with The Couple and it's really making me curious why Quentin had this paper in the first place. Over in Fillory, Eliot may or may not have completely ruined Margo and Josh's relationship though I'd like to imagine that once Josh figured out that it was Eliot he was talking to and not Margo that he would give Margo another chance to talk. It's super strange that we're kind of sweeping Fen and Josh sleeping together under a rug and I really don't understand why Margo keeps claiming that she gave up on Josh when she was the one to keep trying over and over until she had no more chances to reach him in the past. Julia as we found out is pregnant but cause she's in Fillory, her pregnancy is speeding up so instead of the normal 9 months it'll be a lot less though we don't actually know how fast yet. She also was the one to kill Seb and at first that made me think that maybe he's not the real villain after all cause it's way too early in the season for the Big Bad to be killed but in the end he woke up and he's going to be even more furious so it must be him after all.

The promo for next week shows that Seb is going to be doing some sort of ritual on Eliot and I wonder if he's going to be making him into a Taker. It looks like we might be world hopping again but maybe Seb is going to send his soldiers after them to Earth too which would be interesting.
