What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

Hello everyone and welcome back! It's a bit of a slow week this time around but here we are anyway!

Welcome To Demon School Iruma-Kun Episode 22

I'm still oddly disappointed in this arc cause like I said last week, the finale for this show is going to air next week and I'm low key afraid that everything will be rushed so that this show can end. Having said that there were a lot of hilarious and sweet moments this week. I loved that Iruma, Azz and Clara had to pretend to be the opening act on stage in order to cover for Keroli who had used too much of her ice powers when she was angry with Iruma last week and that inadvertently Iruma still ended up taking more of the attention than Keroli with both newspaper space and her fans. Despite that though it was sweet that Keroli and Iruma are not friends and that she realized that though Iruma doesn't want to stand out, he does when it helps his friends. The best moment of the episode though was when Keroli's family came to help her and it became clear that her family loves her and that they've only been so cold cause they need to be otherwise they will overheat but that doesn't mean they ever stopped supporting her or loving her. I do wish Keroli had a moment with them but I liked the message overall anyway. As I mentioned up top, next week is the finale for this show and I'll be curious to see whether it wraps up the whole story or if more likely will just be a low-stakes episode hinting to us what the future could be in a way to be like hey you've only seen a small snapshot of Iruma's life not his whole story.

ID: Invaded Episode 10

I honestly feel like I'm too dumb for this show most of the time cause until I pretty much start to write this review I'm just sitting around like what huh what. Somehow the well that the cops thought was Momoki's was actually Sakaido's but if that's the case I'm so utterly confused cause how can Sakaido even enter his own well? It's also really different somehow cause instead of the lightning world, it's a desert but the stranger part is that Fukada knew all along and he is either working with John Walker or just really wants to screw with Sakaido cause the minute a brilliant detective figures out who he is outside of the well, the id well destroys him. I do wonder if the fact that Sakaido's in his own well will mean that he can find Hondoumachi and not only help her get out of Kiki's well but get her to help him. I was honestly so excited when the two finally met in Kiki's well in a well but time really does work differently cause while Sakaido had gone in later than Hondoumachi, he was there for a year while she was there for 20 minutes. It sucks that we didn't get much from them but I think we somehow experienced the past through Sakaido with some twists that he wished would have happened. Maybe the whole idea of cognitive particles only happened cause Kiki became one with the world as she was afraid would happen? We definitely know that she was the basis for the Mizuhanome cause Shirakoma who was the creator (and died later being left in Momoki's yard) was researching Kiki before she disappeared. Now what this all means I'm not entirely sure yet but I'm really curious to see where this show ends.

Riverdale Season 4 Episode 15

Well did I call it or what? There was no way that this show killed off Jughead and as we found out this week, Jughead faked his death in order to finally take down the Stonewall Prep kids and half of the main cast know the truth. I expected it to really just go as far as the main trio and maybe FP but we learned that Charles, Jellybean, Mary, and now Alice all know. It totally explains why no one really seemed to be mourning Jughead other than a few choice tears here and there and why everything with Archie and Betty kissing felt so weird and out-of-place. Speaking of, I could totally see this fake kiss as a way to bring Archie and Betty back into each other so that the couples could be shaken up next season but idk if the show would go there cause I feel like Riverdale has moved so far past the typical high school show with revolving couples like Gossip Girl. Jughead being alive also explained why one minute FP was arresting Betty for Jughead's murder on the tip from a girl that Jughead hated by the way and the next was allowing her to throw Jughead's wake. The most important part of all this was that FP was going to be fired from being Sheriff by Hiram so he quit and if I had to guess this is how FP will be written off of the show cause we know that Skeet Ulrich is leaving the show next season. I really don't know what this whole faking his death thing accomplished cause from where I'm sitting it doesn't look like the core four gathered any new info other than whoever Donna really is but that was done by Hermosa on behalf of Veronica who didn't need Jughead dead to do so.

I was wondering if maybe revealing the truth on Alice's documentary was maybe a way that the Stonewall kids would figure out the truth but the promo for next week shows us that Jughead reveals himself as being alive next week and I really don't know if whatever he figured out will really take down the Stonewall kids cause we still have a bunch more episodes to fill.

The Magicians Season 5 Episode 8

I just found out that The Magicians is being cancelled after this season so when we say that there's only four episodes left of the season, there's actually only four episodes left in this series and I'll be curious to know if the season finale can act as a series finale as well. It's bittersweet cause while part of me thinks that The Magicians isn't the same without Quentin, the rest of me is going to miss this crazy show. We finally learned more about The Dark King this week with the reveal that he's actually Rupert Chatwin aka Jane and Michael's brother and that he's been asleep for years only to awaken once magic was reborn last season. As it turns out the trees in Fillory are all intertwined so when our crew chopped down Rupert's tree last week, they couldn't sever his link to Fillory and as they find out, he can only die if Fillory dies. I suppose it's a very good thing that we've got a magic seed that can rebuild worlds now isn't it? Rupert's main goal is to bring back his lover Lance and he used Eliot's body as a conduit and I wonder if he's planning on moving Lance into Eliot's body. Poor Eliot has been possessed so much! Julia is also like super pregnant now so I guess her question on whether to keep the baby or not has been answered. It also sucks that she's stuck in Fillory and Penny 23 is on his own adventure so when they meet up Julia straight up might just have their baby to introduce to him! Speaking of, Penny 23 and Plum Chatwin learned that Plum could time travel and because of that they were stuck hopping from time to time only to end up stuck in the room that the Signal was coming from. I still don't know what this Signal is but maybe it's linked to Rupert somehow? Alice meanwhile found the Couple that she was looking for or actually he found her but again we don't know who or what it is yet.

The promo for next week actually kind of looked like a promo for the rest of the season with Julia talking about how she tried to help save the world but might have actually led to it's destruction and I'm over here like girl what else is new.
