Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 14
Ahh so the second half of this second season is officially starting and you can tell cause the opening changed! So far I do prefer the opening from the first half but maybe this one will grow on me! I do know that I like the new ending! This episode once again felt like the calm before the storm the way that the episodes before the beach arc did and this time around it feels like our next big battle will take place during the parent/teacher conferences. It's going to cause all of our Sohma characters to have to interact with their parents again especially Yuki who's parents we haven't seen much of but Yuki's clearly terrified of his mom so there's that. So much plot moved forward this week that I don't know where to start! Kyo as it seems has been distant from everyone ever since his meeting with Kagura but the thing is that he seemed fine last week and he seemed fine after his meeting with Kagura so I'm wondering if this is meant to be a lingering effect from meeting Akito instead. He's no longer fighting with Yuki and he's quietly watching Tohru from a distance as if he's already given up and ready to watch the world move along from his cage. I did love that despite everything, he was there to pick Tohru up when her world was falling apart again. Tohru's grandpa hurt his back and it caused her to flashback to right after her dad died and to what seems like her mom not doing well without him. Meanwhile we saw more of Rin and Haru and how sweet the two's relationship was all the way back from childhood. She's clearly trying to break the Sohma curse but I'm not sure how pushing Haru away would help but I did like that Haru was like I don't blame her cause clearly I'm not strong enough to be her safe shelter yet. It was also interesting to note that it was Haru begging Shigure that allowed Akito to let Yuki leave his side.
Stargirl Season 1 Episode 8
This episode was a big old yikes in terms of how literally everyone knows that Courtney is Stargirl now! What's the point of masks when the villains know who you are?? I do suppose it's better that it's the kids that figure it out over the adults cause they might think that it'd be funny to taunt the others with their secret identities compared to the adults who'd kill their families to keep the ISA safe. I seriously can't decide if I think Henry Jr will be a good or bad guy cause unlike Cindy, he's had moments of goodness but at the same time with Brainwave down for the count, the ISA would need him and with Courtney being the one to put his dad in the hospital, it'll be easy for them to pull him to their side. I also think it's hilarious that the show pretty much entirely forgot about the big dance that was so important last week and I'm sitting here wondering if poor Cameron is just walking around the school thinking Courtney stood him up. The stuff with Pat, Beth, Yolanda and Rick was alright but my favorite thing was exhausted Pat just being exhausted with everything the kids do. This is why you don't get teenagers to be heroes! I also actually really loved the scene with Mike and Courtney where he apologized for snapping at her last week and that they both were like I'm happy your my family now cause it was sweet and I'm still low key waiting for him to pick up the pink pen and become a hero too cause duh.
Agents Of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 7
If I'm being honest, this episode was fun on paper but in actuality not one of my favorites from this season. Not only did it ask you to logistical problems and pay attention on what we got but it also focused on Mack and his grieving process which was mostly meh to me. As much as I like Deke and I usually love the bottle episodes where the whole episode is focused on one or more SHIELD characters, this one wasn't as good as previous ones which might low key be because I'm still waiting on Fitz or because it had no fun cameos but either way I was pretty much just waiting for this episode to end. Mack and Deke spent 20 months in the 1980s and during that time Mack spent most of it mourning while Deke built a team of SHIELD agents and found Coulson's mind drive which survived the explosion from last week. Also having survived last week was Sybil and Nathanial Whitehall who have now teamed up to do evil though we haven't actually learned what the plan is. The interesting thing to note is that Coulson did blow up all the Hunters that the Chronicoms had and I think we're left with only Sybil and her mind drive though I'm assuming that her mind drive has all the other Chronicoms too otherwise we've pretty much won the fight. At the very least this episode allowed us to cheat and say that Mack mourned his parents without actually having to live through it and it was also really sweet to find out how much Deke cares with how he was taking care of little Mack. We weren't able to stop Sybil from taking back the Time Stream but by doing so I think it allowed the Zephyr to catch a Time Wave and returns to Deke and Mack though like I said 20 months later.
The promo for next week looks seriously epic and that is exactly what I want from a time hopping SHIELD crew! We're going to see Jiaying again and I'm left to wonder if the show is somehow going to change Jiaying's future death or Daisy's dad's.
