Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 13
It's been a while since our kids have been in school so it felt a bit like an abrupt tonal shift to go from this deeply emotional material for the past chunk of episodes only to return to humor this week with Yuki and the student council. You all know by now that I'm usually not a fan of Yuki-centric episodes cause I find him boring tbh and I can't decide if part of it is cause subconsciously I don't want to like Yuki cause the show pits him against Kyo and Kyo's my baby. Having said that though I did like that we're seeing Yuki make new friends outside of Tohru and her friends and that it's clear that Yuki's growing as a person. Manabe is a lot honestly and I don't know if I would like to be his friend in real life but he might be the kind of person Yuki needs. I'm also still curious to know what's up Machi and why she seems to despise Yuki but I also really liked that we got to see Kyo and Tohru from other people's perspectives. Manabe watched the two walk together and decided that they must be dating which makes my shipper heart sing but also it's always just fun to see things from other perspectives. One of my favorite scenes in the episode was when Manabe apologized to Kyo for judging him and Kyo's just like dude who the hell are you.
Stargirl Season 1 Episode 7
Okay I'm really going to need all the characters in this show to stop shouting each other's real names when they're in costume cause it seriously defeats the whole point of the costumes! Pat should have definitely known better though I suppose his worry for her outweighed his superhero smarts. It was totally strange to see that after everything last week that made it seem like Courtney was growing a little in terms of being a hero and not jumping right into things that she ended up reverting back and refusing to listen or wait or think before she acted this week. I low key loved how the rest of the JSA were so annoyed with Courtney for making it all about herself during the training cause they all clearly were interested in the history unlike Courtney who wanted to go go go. I was also fascinated with how much of the episode was dedicated to Cindy and how it ended up allowing us to pity her a little though it didn't make up for all the bad she did. Cindy unlike the other ISA kids knows everything about her dad and the ISA so it makes her feel isolated in the real world and it's clear that all she wants are friends as seen by how she sort of latched onto Courtney but now it seems like she might find that acceptance in the ISA since she did suit up and steal one of her dad's costumes. I do have to point out the one problem I think this show has and that's with balancing the superhero with the mundane stuff. We had a whole C storyline with Cameron being nervous to ask Courtney to the Homecoming Dance and though I loved that scene with his dad, the fact that we've only actually seen Courtney and Cameron interact once in 7 episodes but we're supposed to believe that was enough for both to have a crush on each other is a little much. Having said that I am super shipper trash so I'm all for it especially if Cameron becomes a bad guy and then we might have even more drama!
Agents Of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 6
This week was dark cause though at first it seemed like we had about the same amount of wins and losses, in the end it feels a little like we lost more. It once again highlighted why I don't like Mack as Director cause while I understand the point of making all our of agents super kind and moral and all that in order to get the audience to love them, I can't help but constantly compare the agents we have now to those we were first introduced to. I mean can you imagine Fury or Natasha or Clint or even Maria balking at the idea of the choosing the needs of the many over the few?? The ironic thing about all of it was that despite everything, we ended up in the same place even if Mack had chosen not to help his parents. With the Chronicoms now able to steal personalities alongside faces, they can definitely pass as human. They killed Mack's parents and though Coulson was able to destroy their ship of Hunters, I'm not entirely sure that the Chronicoms can't just create more Hunters. I do suppose that it makes May our secret weapon cause it feels like she's the only one who can detect their lack of emotions and I'm wondering if there would be a way for her to boost her empath powers so that she doesn't have to touch people to get their emotions. I'm also not entirely worried about LMD Coulson blowing up with the rest of the Chronicom Hunters cause Jemma could always make a new one. Speaking of Jemma, we found out that she was not a LMD like I thought last week but actually just has some sort of a chip in her that is wiping her memory of Fitz and everything related to him. I'm not sure why she needs to hide it from the others but I'm still high key waiting for Fitz to come back! The homage to season 2 with Daisy, Daniel, and Nathanial was fun and it just really made me wonder more if this season is planning on pairing up Daisy and Daniel. I also wish that Daniel had taken the time to kill Nathanial cause he did get Daisy's powers but I'm not sure if he's dead yet and if he's not, it feels like a horrible change in the timeline to have a Malick with Inhuman powers.
The promo for next week shows us that the episode will follow Deke and Mack through their adventures after being left behind when the Zephyr jumped and it looks like we're in the 80s now and I'm sure that by the end of the episode the Zephyr will be back cause I can't imagine the show leaving these two stranded for more than about 5 years or so otherwise they'd have to be aged up.
