Batwoman Season 1 Episode 17
I had a blast with this week's episode of Batwoman but it also low key sucks cause it would have felt a lot more impactful if this had aired back before the hiatus cause it wrapped up a lot of previously dangling storylines and the end felt like it totally could have been Batwoman's finale. We spent all episode dealing with Kate's guilt over killing and I loved that it was both Mary and Luke that eventually helped her move past it with Mary saying that Kate didn't need to be a hero and Luke explaining that Batman even broke his own code by killing Joker which is probs why Bruce vanished. We also found out who the mole in the Crows was and that he was the one to kill Lucius Fox and why. Apparently Lucius had a journal full of every Wayne Tech project and how to build them which Tommy Eliot wanted so he hired the Crow mole to get it but after Lucius refused was killed by accident. Everything he did afterwards was to hide his trail and he even went as far as being a second bomb maker to do so. I do wish that the whole Jacob being attached to a bomb thing had a bigger impact but I guess the more important part of all that was Luke deciding to put his revenge aside for good and for it to be the thing that finally got Kate to tell him what happened. I'm excited that Julia is going to be sticking around and joining the Crows though it looks like if she does get a love interest it'll be Sophie rather than Kate but I also loved that Mary finally told Kate that she knew who she was cause I'm down for another Team Batwoman member. Now I just need Jacob and my list will be complete.
The promo for next week feels a little more lighthearted with Kate and crew going clubbing and her running into her ex from earlier this season. With the production shutting down early, there's only three episodes left for this season and I wonder if Alice will get out of Arkham or if that was supposed to be an arc for the un-filmed finale.
Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 4
I can't explain just how excited I am about seeing all the new material in this second season. Since I'm an anime only, I have no idea about what's to come and it's all so exciting! We met a new Sohma character this week in Rin who we saw a glimpse of last season and though we didn't exactly get much more this week, it was more than before! Rin as we know from the opening song is the horse spirit and she's been in the hospital because of some accident. At first I assumed it was some sort of self-inflicted one based on how depressed she seemed last season when Hiro visited her but it also might be related to Akito. Maybe the fact that Yuki isn't returning to the Sohma Estate or how Kyo won't allow himself to be locked up led to Akito attacking Rin? Rin looked furious when she saw Yuki and Haru seemed to blame Kyo which has me wondering. Or maybe it's another example of Kisa and Hiro in that Akito found out about Haru and Rin and beat Rin up? Either way I'm excited to find out what's going on and what kind of person Rin is. She's gotta be a good one just based on the fact that she was dating Haru until recently and if that isn't a shock then I don't what is! In other news, I was totally proud of Yuki for ignoring how scared he was to return to the Estate because of how much he cared for Haru. Kyo also is growing leaps and bounds with how open he is now about his care for Tohru even if by the end of the episode he looked like he might return to trying to stay away out of guilt.
The Flash Season 6 Episode 17
Okay so honestly Barry suddenly realizing that Mirror Iris wasn't the real Iris felt like it came out of nowhere cause he never once showed any hints of thinking that something was wrong but I guess I can ignore it in order for the plot to move forward cause it feels like I've been waiting ages for Barry and the others to figure out who she was. It was low key hilarious though that the show tried to play it as Barry losing his mind when he was in detective mode at the West house and it was even better than Eva was steps ahead of Barry in terms of the weapon that shows you if a person is a mirror refraction. I love when villains are smart like that and I wondered if maybe the show would extend this story for a little longer but Cecile was able to figure it out and thus Barry was able to figure it out. Meanwhile Iris figured out that Eva wasn't the good person Iris thought she was and like props to Eva for having an extremely well thought out plan. What sucks though is that I'm pretty sure that Iris is right in terms of Eva thinking that she wants revenge but in actuality she still loves Joseph and I think that when they meet, they'll become a villain couple again when truthfully I want Eva to take him down cause he's an asshole and he doesn't love her. I'm also not sure what was happening with Caitlin/Killer Frost and at first I wondered if this was a way to write Danielle Campbell out of the rest of this season with the whole real life pregnancy thing and then I wondered if this was how Team Flash would go back to Ramsay but then we ended up using it as a way to bring back Caitlin's mom so I'm all sorts of confused! In other news I do have to say that despite me not being a huge Westallen shipper, that final scene when Barry and Iris told the mirror that they loved each other despite not knowing if the other could hear them was absolutely heartwarming so shout out to that!
The promo for next week shows us that Godspeed is back and I'm just casually over here like um again? I wonder if we'll finally build the artificial speedforce that Barry needs cause I can't imagine how else they stop a speed villain! We know that Flash's finale is in two episodes so who knows what'll happen!
Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 10
This week was really interesting cause I ended up enjoying both the A and B plot unlike last week where I really only thought that Zari's storyline was interesting. We found out that Enchantress helped hide the third piece of the Loom and part of me was laughing at that cause I hated Enchantress in the Suicide Squad movie but it makes sense that Charlie in ancient Greek times would find Enchantress to help not to mention the fact that in this universe it seems like Enchantress isn't a bad guy after all. By accident Zari and Constantine got split up from the rest of the group and ended up in Constantine's house in another time period where they were swarmed by Encores so Ava, Mick, and Gary went to Hell to find Astra. In the end they realized that the Fates were down in Hell and Astra returned to Earth with Ava's help after she realized that if she wanted something she should try to get it herself rather than wait for it to get done. Zari and Constantine managed to work together, kill the Encores and find the final piece of the Loom and it's making me wonder if we've got all three pieces already then what's the rest of the season going to be about? In other news, this week has officially shifted me onto the Zari and Constantine ship (Hellstar? Starblazer? What even is their ship name??) cause at first I wasn't sure if I was just seeing things that weren't there because of the insane chemistry the two actors had or if the show really was hinting towards something between the two but after their almost kiss and Constantine's look of disappointment in seeing Zari and Nate hug, I have a feeling that a love triangle is brewing. I wonder if it's just that we never really saw the two together in previous seasons or if it's this Zari's dynamic with him that I love but whatever it is, every time they so much as look at each other I feel sparks!
I wonder if the promos for this show are a mess because of production problems cause this is the second week in a row that we got a promo where it was a mash-up of random scenes over the season and a moment that we haven't seen. It does look like Mick might be bringing his daughter onto the Waverider and Sara looks like she's okay as long as her eyes are covered up so there's that!
Tower Of God Episode 5
Every week I can't help but feel like there's a disconnect in terms of how I'm an anime only viewer so I don't know a lot of the Lore or the backstory for this show. It's like watching a show like Young Justice where so much of the show is left unexplained cause it expects you to know the DC universe and their characters. I suppose part of the whole appeal of this show is that every character is grey so we're not supposed to see them in terms of good or bad guys but I can't help but do it anyway cause how else am I supposed to watch a show without knowing who's on our side and who's not? The Test Administrator clearly knows more than the rest and as it turns out the Crown Game wasn't to get rid of Rachel's team who were more bloodthirsty than the rest but to actually get rid of Bam cause he's something different than the others and as the Test Administrator said different is dangerous to the Tower. Bam seems to be made of Shinsu rather than having the ability to control it and it makes me wonder if maybe he's supposed to be a manifestation of the Tower after gaining enough power to actually take a human form. It would explain why he has no memories and yet is powerful enough to continuously pass Tower tests and charm the Black March. I also can't tell you how low key pissed I was that Bam jumped off the throne to protect Rachel throwing everything that Khun sacrificed to the wind and it's like good for him for losing the Black March now cause it was his fault. That black clad character came out of nowhere and I'm left wondering not only from where she appeared cause she wasn't one of the members of a team but also why Rachel's team was so focused on destroying her and not getting the Crown cause obviously they must want the shortcut to climb the Tower too no? As a side note Khun is definitely my favorite character on this show and I low key had a moment when he put his hair up this week.
Rivedale Season 4 Episode 18
This week's episode just mixed everything up again in terms of plot and I think we the audience just figured out who's behind these tapes although the cast has yet to find out. Mr Honey as it seems was an avid visitor to the Red Room in the video tape store and his face when he heard that the FBI raided it was not good. It would totally make sense if it ended up being him cause he's been an antagonist to our heroes all season long despite me actually thinking that he might be right about a lot of what he says but it does suck cause it once again leaves Charles and Chic totally out there as a dangling thread. It was super sweet though when Charles called Jughead little brother cause Jughead's face just totally lit up and I can't help but want Charles to be good! Maybe all this time away from Chic can turn him into a good person! It's also high key hilarious that after last week when we were so sure that Archie and Betty were going to become a thing, the show shut it down this week and that's beyond hysterical just based on the response the poor writers and cast got last week from angry fans so part of me is like why even do this whole storyline if it's not going to go anywhere and the rest of me is like I hope you feel shame fans who took this whole thing too far. But actually on a more serious note I did love that Cheryl called out Betty's feelings for Archie as nothing more than a fantasy and that Betty never really loved Archie but the idea of him and that Jughead was the one she was destined for cause personally that's how I view the whole thing. Veronica and Cheryl cancelled their rum business and Veronica decided to rejoin the family business thinking that Hiram has finally changed but as we know that's not true so that's awkward. I still wonder what Jughead's college plans are cause it feels like other than him we know where everyone else in Riverdale is going. Betty to Yale, Archie to the navy, Veronica to that school in NY, and now we know that Fangs is going to Pitt while Kevin is going to Carnegie Mellon so I'm wondering if Jughead is planning to go to college or if he'll like go to Quantico and become an FBI agent or stay in Riverdale and take FP's place as Sheriff.
The season finale for this shortened season of Riverdale is next week and it looks like everyone figures out that Honey is shady but I really doubt that they'll actually kill him!
Harley Quinn Season 2 Episode 5
This episode was super strange cause it didn't follow the normal procedure for a Harley Quinn episode cause not only was Harley not even in this episode but we had this hysterical scene at the top and bottom of the episode that broke the fourth wall and left me wondering what on Earth was going on. Now having said all that I hope it didn't come across as me complaining cause actually I really loved how unique this episode was and this world's version of Batman/Bruce Wayne is hilarious as is Alfred who I think we met for the first time in this show this week. Bruce woke up from his coma and wanted to get back out there on the streets partially cause he wanted to help and mostly cause his ego was shot at the sight of other heroes but most importantly Batgirl. It ended in disaster with Bane actually breaking Batman's legs and his back I'm assuming in a homage to the comics and ultimately Batman realized that he couldn't be out in the field just yet but he did give his stamp of approval to Batgirl and got her to work with Jim. I still wonder where Robin is supposed to be but I guess he'd be in Jump City with the Titans cause last we heard he was a Titan. Bane and Two Face are the only villains left on the streets of Gotham and they decided to team up though poor Bane was basically tricked into thinking that he was more than a henchman for Two Face and in the end it was so funny to see Two Face give him a Pit.
