FINISHED Batwoman Season 1 Episode 20
This was a strange episode and I don't mean because this was a random episode of Batwoman that was meant to be the finale but because I just can't get behind where the show is going. I'm really not a fan of how Jacob has suddenly buckled down on Batwoman cause unlike Quentin over on Arrow, though Jacob had never been a fan of Batwoman he never had a kill order on her either and I just can't buy his about-face especially through a throwaway line like she let my wife's killer back on the streets. That's Alice right? Who killed Mary's mom? I mean by that logic so did he cause he wasn't able to stop Alice's escape. He's going so far as to literally trying to shoot Batwoman at point blank range and trying to figure out what kind of bullet could pierce her armor and his anger frightens me a little. It was especially intense not only to see Kate's heartbreak over the betrayal in the arena but later when she talked about how her dad hated her and how if he ever found out the truth would think of her the same as Alice. If that's true, Jacob has completely lost it cause Alice is out there murdering people while Batwoman is just trying to help. I am loving the way Mary, Luke and Kate are a team and honestly I hope the show sticks to a small team like this cause in these Arrowverse shows when there's a million people on the team it's ridiculous. In other news Alice killing Mouse completely shocked me honestly and might be the thing that shows us that Alice has officially snapped and that Beth is completely dead now. Mouse just wanted them to leave Gotham and be happy but Alice couldn't look away from her revenge but the most shocking part of all this is how the show has officially cast a Bruce Wayne and he's honestly exactly like what I'd picture a Bruce to be. At first I thought he looked too young (like Tyler and Melissa being too close in age over on Supergirl) but upon further research the actor who plays Bruce is 10 years older than Ruby Rose so it all works out.
Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 7
Well Akito's arrived at the beach and so far honestly he's not been so bad! I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop but if Akito doesn't break Yuki, then it has to be Kyo or Tohru cause they're the mains and I can't imagine every manga reader screaming about the beach if Akito hurt a side character no matter how much I love them! It was interesting to note how everyone's moods dropped the second Shigure mentioned Akito was here but even more so how Akito brought Kureno with him and that Kureno is literally not allowed to even interact with the others. I really wish I knew what Akito's deal was cause he's so weirdly possessive of all the zodiacs and I wish I knew why he picked the favorites he did. Why is he so obsessed with Yuki but then can't go anywhere without Kureno while also draping himself all over Hatori and Shigure? I almost completely forgot that Kyo's not allowed to be around Akito and like though Tohru was sad for him being left out, honestly it was probs for the best cause no one wants to be around Akito. It's funny cause Kyo has his own demons but he also feels like one of the more well-adjusted zodiacs. Maybe I just feel this way cause Yuki in comparison is a hot mess or because of his relationship with Tohru. We got another example this week of how differently Kyo and Yuki view Tohru and how they interact with her and why I prefer Kyo. Kyo notices when Tohru is off and he tries to help her and their bond is much more mutual while Yuki I was back-and-forth about in terms of how he saw her but this week I really got a motherly vibe from Tohru in Yuki's eyes and he really only sees Tohru for how she can help him. I also liked that we learned a little more about some of our zodiacs' parents. We knew that Kyo was estranged from his birth father and that his mother killed herself and I'm assuming that's why his father hates Kyo. Yuki's parents gave him up to Akito as we've seen but nothing more and Momiji's mom hated him until she forgot him. I think Kisa's mom somewhat loves her but we learned this week that mom of the year goes to Hiro's mom who looked at Hiro turning into a goat and said I love goats and if that's not the sweetest thing I don't know what is. Hatsuharu's family is the only one left that we haven't learned of.
Stargirl Season 1 Episode 1
Wow. Wow. Wow. I went into this show not really expecting much cause I wasn't a huge fan of the trailers since it made this show feel too cheesy but honestly after watching this pilot, I'm seriously all the way on board with this show! It struck the perfect balance of action and character development. Courtney was fun to watch and I loved that though she was upset about Pat and the move, she didn't really take it out on anyone else and was able to see that her mom was happy so she wanted to try to like Pat. Of course it helped that at this point she figured out that Pat was a sidekick so that makes him all the more cooler! I love that the Cosmic Staff is kinda sentient and that Pat will be around to help train Courtney and teach her how to use it even if he's not thrilled that she'll be putting herself in danger. Pat's pretty awesome so far and I low key love the humor in this show but I don't know if I believe that Starman was Courtney's father cause I think the Staff works like a Green Lantern ring in that when one user dies, it finds another that's worthy. It's also interesting that we already have a whole bunch of villains for Stargirl to fight in the Injustice Society and that despite having won for the past 10 years or so, it doesn't look like the members have done much for themselves cause it's not like they're ruling the world or anything like that but I'm also curious about the other heroes we'll be meeting and if they'll end up being kids of heroes or if Courtney will make friends and then recruit them or if they'll meet as heroes first and then become friends in school. Overall I think the writing on this show is tight and the characters are well written and acted. It feels like every DC Universe show has a plan and it's only been Titans that has been a mess!
Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 13
You know I had been wondering last week how we'd be doing a zombie apocalypse this week but I really should have guessed right away that it was obviously going to be a trick of the Fates! It's totally funny though cause for a second I really did wonder if we were going to loose Sara and then end up bringing her back with Behrad and Astra at the end but once all the Legends starting dying, I realized that we would be going a different route. I'm not entirely sure how Charlie is supposed to overpower or trick her sisters into doing literally anything on Charlie or the Legends's bucket list but with the immortality spell wearing off before we got our hands on the Loom, that is the only way to get what we want. I knew from the start that something was going to go wrong cause of the way Sara reacted when Ava touched her but it is always fun to see Ava lead the Legends with how she's always so nervous and confused by it. Astra struggled to decide whether a few good moments with her mom would be worth it if she'd end up losing her mom anyway but like Gary showed her, of course it's better to have some moments than none and besides Astra doesn't know how far into the future her mom will die! What if Astra has another 20 years? In other news Zari and Constantine finally hooked up (and Charlie picked up on it right away which was hilarious) and I'm living for the soft looks Constantine keeps giving her when she's not looking and how Zari's so adamant about keeping him from smoking. I do have to admit that I really expected more of a love triangle with Nate but he's like seriously backed off of Zari but I guess it's more likely that he just has no idea that anything is even brewing between them to worry about and once he does then he might have something more to say.
Next week is the penultimate episode and it looks like we'll be going from tv show to tv show and that somehow it'll be Charlie's doing but I actually really hope that Behrad is there too cause if Charlie brings back all the Legends this way, she should be able to get him back too though maybe Gary and Astra might be too hard.
Tower Of God Episode 8
Guys honestly I think I'm just too dumb for this show cause most of the subtle hints end up just flying over my head! Apparently despite losing the tag game, some of the characters could pass based on their scores from training and I guess their abilities to impress the test admins in this test so Khun, Lauroe, Shibisu and Anaak had enough points to pass but Bam, Hatz, Endorsi, Serena and Hoh are up in the air though I'm not sure if I'm too worried cause it's too early in this show to stop a main cast member from advancing. I still don't love that Hoh is on our team cause I still can't help but feel like he's going to be an antagonist or at least a thorn in the side of the others just cause of how jealous he is of Bam so I want him to have to suffer on his own. Poor Serena was just trying to make conversation and he seriously shut her down. I also can't decide what Endorsi's plan is but I imagine that she picked up hints that Khun left behind like the test admins said that Khun did. Khun is still best boy and if it wasn't for my baby Kyo over on Fruits Basket, I might be saying that Khun is my season favorite! I just love the way he's low key so manipulative and cunning but also so loyal and kind to those he likes. I'm still annoyed with Bam's obsession with Rachel but I'm hoping that he manages to kick some real ass next week when we get to see more of Team B's tag test.
Harley Quinn Season 2 Episode 8
This episode was both hilarious and sad for so many reasons! After the kiss that Harley and Ivy shared last week, Harley was struggling to decide how she felt about the whole thing and decided that instead of looking inside that she was going to do something really evil in order to prove to the world that she was okay. When Psycho recommended that they go visit Darkseid and ask to borrow his army of parademons, my brain automatically went uh-oh bad plan abort cause I was thinking of how big and bad Darkseid is normally and how out of her league Harley would be but I forgot that since this show is more of a comedy, Darkseid wasn't much scarier than our normal villains and in fact acted like a bit of a therapist with how he noted that Harley was trying to fill a hole in herself with his army. It also ended up meaning nothing when she gave up her powers and basically sent the parademons home after Ivy was like what the hell are you doing Harley. Meanwhile Ivy and Kiteman met his parents and we found out that his parents don't think much of him cause he doesn't have powers and though Ivy tried to play along eventually she couldn't stand how he was being treated and stood up for him which was super sweet. It's such a struggle for me cause Harley is clearly into Ivy not but Ivy still loves Kiteman and either way someone in this love triangle is going to be crushed!
