Batwoman Season 1 Episode 18
I did really enjoy this episode of Batwoman but I'm not sure that I understand where the rest of this season was supposed to go. I still can't help but feel like two episodes ago when Alice was put in prison or last week when the whole guilt storyline came to a close should have been the end of the season. Even if we didn't have our shortened season, the fact that we dealt with our season long villain only to start seeding random new threats this week when there would have been only 5 episodes left felt strange. I mean all of a sudden Julia isn't who we think she is and neither is Reagan. Julia apparently left the British spy service 6 months ago after spitting on everything they believe in and is after this journal that describes how to kill Batman/Batwoman and I'm sitting here like I wonder who she's working for. At first I didn't want to believe that a Pennyworth was bad and it's possible she still isn't but at the same time it would be more drama for the show if she was. Reagan on the other hand reappeared this week and I was like oh interesting only for her to be Magpie's sister and scout and yikes is Reagan in for a bad time in the future cause she's definitely going to get a visit from Batwoman soon. I do have to say though that I'm loving watching Alice rule Arkham cause it feels so Batman to have a villain as the head that allows Batman's Rogues in and out whenever they want. I also really loved the talk that Kate had with Mary about why she tried so hard to keep Mary safe and it was totally sweet cause you know I live for scenes with the two. We also the beginning of Batman Hush storyline with Tommy Eliot which should be interesting cause we don't actually have a Batman.
Next week is the penultimate episode for Batwoman with the whole shortened season thing and I'm excited to see what happens! Hush is on the rampage and Alice escapes only to capture a lot of Team Batwoman.
Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 5
We met a new Sohma this week who I'm pretty sure was the final zodiac member we hadn't met yet and I high key adore him already! It's funny cause I haven't actually heard anything about Kureno from the Fruits Basket fandom unlike how excited everyone was about Rin last week but honestly I'm more fascinated with Kureno than Rin! He's clearly being set up as Uo's future love interest and this makes me so excited cause obviously I want nothing but good things for Uo and this might be how Uo finds out about the Sohmas and the curse. I had been wondering for a while if Uo and Hana would ever find out about the Sohmas but I assumed that they never would cause they seemed like side characters rather than main ones but I kind of like the idea of them finding love in the Sohma clan too. What's interesting though is that of all the Sohmas, Kureno seems to be the most beaten into submission by Akito cause like he told Uo all he does is go where he's told and I wonder how important he is to Akito cause I assumed that it was Shigure who was closest to Akito but seeing how Akito embraced Kureno at the end has me wondering what's going on! I wish we could learn more about the Sohmas already and what this curse is cause now that we've met all our characters, we need to focus on the plot! I assume that by the end of this show the curse must be lifted or something so let's hop to it please! The other half of the episode was about the kids going to a haunted house and it was all pretty meh though I did think it was funny how exhausted Kyo and Yuki were about the whole thing in the end.
The Flash Season 6 Episode 18
I was mostly just meh about this week's episode despite it being the penultimate episode. Cisco and Ralph returned this week and Barry told everyone about the Mirrorverse and what happened. Cisco did not take this well cause like Barry he had been living with a mirror copy of his girlfriend and while they were trying to figure out how to get into this Mirrorverse, they met another Godspeed though this one is apparently the real one and all the others were just copies. With Cisco busy and Barry low on speed, they turned to Hartley Sawyer who's the villain Pied Piper in this post-Crisis world again and apparently hated Barry more than before cause Barry accidentally hurt the man he loved. They ended up saving the guy thus Hartley was able to help them stop Godspeed. I do have to say that Godspeed's plan was low key idiotic cause Barry doesn't actually have like any velocity left so wanting Barry to give it up is hilarious. On that note it's still so weird that Barry hasn't built an artificial Speedforce yet and I'm starting to wonder if we'll even get one by the end of this season or if it'll end up being something for later. It would be a good cliffhanger for the season if the last few minutes were of Barry's hand shaking or lightning streaking. Over with Caitlin and Frost, Frost said goodbye to Ralph this week and it felt was oddly final which made me wonder if Danielle would be taking some time off of this show cause of her baby though Ralph got angry with Frost so maybe we'll just really say goodbye to Frost for a bit? Honestly I wouldn't mind this cause I miss Caitlin! Iris also started to suffer from being in the Mirrorverse too long like Eva did with the headaches and the itching but she did find Camilia and I think it would be super cool if this storyline followed Iris back but I have a feeling that once she leaves the Mirrorverse she'll be fine again.
With next week being the finale, the promo seems to be all about how Iris might be succumbing to insanity after being in the Mirrorverse so long but honestly Barry I don't think you should be taking advice from Carver!
Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 11
I love Legends so much and I'm so beyond happy that of all the shows that I'm watching currently that Legends was the one to have already finished filming and producing their season so it's not shortened! I had been saying last week that I was curious about what the big problem with this show would be if we had already collected the three pieces of the Loom and had Charlie as a Fate and we got an answer this week. Apparently Charlie is not strong enough to work the Loom on her own but I can't imagine that her sisters would ever help so I'm going to assume that the only way to use the Loom will be to make two of the other women on the ship into Fates and if I had to guess, it'd be Sara who's basically an Oracle already and Astra cause she's been trained to be a Fate by a Fate. This would mean more if we didn't know that John could basically strip the immortality from a Fate cause he did it to Charlie a few seasons ago but there still might be something tragically poetic about Astra finally getting her mother back only to not be able to be with her cause she's no longer attached to the mortal world. I do think it's really cool that Sara's an Oracle now too but once again the fact that she's gone blind probably indicates that she'll be fixed by the end of the season cause while I could imagine that she keeps her future vision powers, I can't see her staying blind. Maybe it's something the Loom can fix too? In other news Mick brought Lita onto the ship and I'm still really not interested in this storyline and that's mostly just cause I don't care for Mick in general. I'm also not thrilled with how Astra spent so much time this week teasing Zari about how she has a thing with John cause I really thought the show was being a fun subtle with this possible relationship but by banging us over the head with oh look at how cute Zari and John are, it's not as fun. It's also ridiculous cause all that happened was that Zari told John that they should get Behrad first and that's not so weird cause Zari did threaten John two weeks ago!
Next week it looks we'll be dealing with frats on a college campus that possibly are under a spell and while that seems hilarious, I'm not sure whether going back to hunting Encores is a great idea since Astra isn't even in Hell to send them but maybe the Fates would think that luring the Legends out of the temporal zone would allow them to get the Loom back.
Tower Of God Episode 6
I low key want to apologize for my meltdown last week cause honestly I think the point of this show is to slowly give us bits of information as we go rather than all at once so I shouldn't be that pissed. We learned a little more about our main characters and the world this week. Apparently everyone who climbs this Tower is ranked into one of five categories but I'm not entirely sure if we're supposed to assume that based on that chart we saw if Fisherman is supposed to be the highest rank just cause it was on top. We do find out that of our main trio, Bam is a Wave Controller which is basically the magician of this world, Khun is a Light Controller which is basically the person who tells the others what to do and how to do it, and Rak is a Spear Bearer which is pretty self explanatory. We also learn that the Princesses of Jahad are simply just women from different families that are adopted as Jahad's daughters and given power. Endorsi as we find out is another Princess so now we've got two and a half in this Tower currently with Yuri on her way to find Bam and Anaak as it turns out not really being a real Princess. We learn through Khun and flashbacks that the Anaak we know is in fact the daughter of the real Princess Anaak and that this Anaak has only taken on her name. Apparently she believes that the real Anaak died heartbroken cause the other Princesses of Jahad killed the man she loved and though I don't know how much I believe that, I'm curious as to why the Tower Admins aren't worried about Anaak like they are with Bam. I mean the only reason she is climbing this Tower is apparently to kill as many Princesses as possible in revenge and that feels like it should be against the rules! Rachel also came to see Bam and she told Khun to lie to Bam about who she was and though Khun assumed that it was cause Rachel was ambitious like the woman he loved, Rachel seemed to be seriously torn up about the whole thing in the privacy of her room and it makes me wonder what's really going on. She seemed to have a nightmare about Bam leaving her for these new friends he was making but it's like if you're so scared to lose him, why not reach out? It's not like the other competitors are all staying away from each other.
FINISHED Rivedale Season 4 Episode 19
Honestly I feel like it's unfair to judge this episode like the finale it is cause it normally wasn't supposed to be one. I'm saying this cause as a finale I don't think this episode worked but that doesn't mean that this episode wasn't fun to watch! I actually really liked the whole storyline with Jughead in which we watched him write a story for his college application and saw it play out as if it was happening for real cause it felt like an homage to the old theories that Riverdale viewers had about Jughead's death being a part of his Baxter Brothers novel. I also really liked that it played back to back with what was actually happening in the real world with Mr Honey and the fact that he was attempting to cancel prom. As we learn Honey besides being into creepy videos has been cancelling proms in every school he taught at for some reason and I do have to say it was completely hilarious that the kids all turned to their parents when they needed help and I loved how badass the parents were in getting prom back on. It was the most high school we've ever seen these kids act cause I did totally expect what Jughead was writing to be the way they got their prom back but instead we saw them prank the principal like the kids they are and ask for help! Since we also learned that Honey isn't the one sending the tapes so I'm back to the theory that Charles and Chic are working together on this and I'm not sure I love the weird retcon that despite Honey acting creepy these last two episodes, that he was a good guy after all. I think it's possible that he did both good and bad and yeah it makes sense that he would go to Stonewall. I still don't entirely understand why Jughead lost his spot at Yale other than the fact that Betty wanted it and the show wants to give Betty what she wants but I'm glad he's got some sort of college plan with the University of Iowa. The episode ended on Betty and Jughead watching a video of Honey being killed by them and I wonder what it even means? Could the voyeur be one of the kids?
Harley Quinn Season 2 Episode 6
This week's episode was basically this show's version of Harley Quinn and Joker's first meeting which kind of made the episode a little boring after how much I enjoyed last week's episode. I know it's needed for the people who watch this show and don't know Harley's backstory but honestly I'm pretty sure like Bruce Wayne losing his parents, everyone and their mother know that Harley was a therapist who fell in love with Joker. It's especially a weird place to put this episode cause it would have made more sense in season 1. I do like the idea that Joker falling into that vat of acid made me human again and erased his memories but I have a feeling that at some point, maybe even by the end of this season, Joker will end up losing this new family he has and return to being Joker. I mean after all his whole thing is that one bad day can turn anyone evil. I also liked the reveal that Harley actually didn't get Joker's real childhood back then and that he actually used Ivy's backstory to trick Harley cause it's seriously such a Joker move. Harley always thought that she meant more to Joker than she did and this was a nice way to remind the audience why the two are toxic. It's also interesting to note that Joker mentioned in the flashback that he did kill Jason Todd so now we know that Batman had a Robin before Damian and that there might be a Red Hood out there but I'm still waiting on Dick!
