Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 15
This episode really should have been renamed Aya is an angel cause he is!! He swooped in to save Yuki at the exact moment Yuki needed him the most and we all swooned! Okay but seriously this week was the parent/teacher conference episode and to my surprise it actually only lasted one episode instead of a multiple episode arc like I expected. I can't decide if this was a good or a bad thing though. Part of me is content with how it all played out but the rest of me thinks that we could have squeezed out so much beautiful angst! Hana and Uo mostly just were there for comedic effect though it was interesting to note that Hana seemed to have a crush on Kazuma which was hilarious. Kyo didn't pay much attention to his meeting cause he's pretty much given up fighting against Akito and imprisonment but what Kazuma said to him was still so sweet while Tohru decided to keep following her mom's goals and work after graduation though from what I can gather it seems like she's just doing all this in order not to fall into a pit of despair. It's been clear for a while that Tohru likes to push away her emotions and focus on others but I really liked the metaphor we got this week of her most emotional moments shoved into a box and the shipper in me was thrilled that alongside her dad and mom were her feelings for Kyo! Yuki's meeting was the most important I think cause it finally gave us a glimpse of his mom and how she's both controlling but also uncaring. I'm not sure why I was expecting her to be worse honestly but after Akito's brand of emotional, mental, and physical abuse I guess no one can hold a candle though I did like that Yuki was able to stand up to her in the end as he realized (the same as all of us children do at some point) that our parents aren't the big scary mountains we thought they were. Of course on a more positive note, the best part of the whole episode was when Aya swooped in and Yuki told him that he was dependable. Aya and I both teared up!
Stargirl Season 1 Episode 9
This was a strange mishmash episode cause I feel like it was attempting to do a whole bunch of things at the same time! Since Henry got his powers last week and found his father's secret hideout, he went back and watched all the videos that Brainwave filmed as he slowly learned about his powers. As we found out, Brainwave got his powers from running tests on himself and slowly being able to read minds drove him a little crazy cause he realized that people were monsters and Henry started to feel that way too. Meanwhile Courtney attempted to talk to him and recruit him for the JSA side and though he shut her down, I have a feeling that she was right when she said that he's probs just reading the surface level of thoughts where we think whatever spontaneous thing that comes to mind rather the inner thoughts we have which are probably full of love. Yolanda also visited him and basically threatened him and it was interesting to see the way Henry interacted with her all full of guilt and remorse so I think in the end I agree with Courtney that he can't be all bad like Cindy. The most surprising part was the fact that it looks like Brainwave woke up but his tone was so strange that I'm wondering if he somehow got amnesia or lost his telepathic powers so he can remember who Henry is but not that he probs brain blasted him. On the other hand we had Jordan and Cameron coming to dinner where Jordan's parents decided that they liked Barbara but not Courtney in what I'm assuming means as a wife for Jordan. Courtney also guessed that Jordan must be Icicle which is totally going to ruin her thing with Cameron but also Barbara found out about the Staff and I have a feeling it's going to ruin Barbara and Pat's relationship though whether it'll push Barbara into Jordan's arms we'll have to wait and see.
Agents Of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 8
Am I the only one who completely forgot that Jiaying had a daughter before Daisy and that daughter killed herself cause she control her powers?? Yeah just me? Well then. I was so confused about why the show kept focusing so much on Kora only for Jiaying to be like I need to find my daughter and everything just clicked. I can't wait until Daisy gets to interact with her just to see how she would. It already sucks a little that she couldn't meet Jiaying this episode and while normally I'd be like it's probs not good to see her anyway cause then Jiaying in season 2 would remember meeting Daisy, we're playing with the multiverse theory in this show so it wouldn't really matter if they did interact especially since Jiaying and Gordon were the only ones to escape Nathanial's attack on Afterlife and I can't help but feel like that changes the original timeline anyway so why not give us all the fan service?? YoYo and May worked through YoYo's block and as it turned it, it was psychological and not physical so once YoYo was able to forgive her past actions, she actually unlocked more powers in that now she doesn't have to bounce back to where she started so she's more like the Flash now. Coulson got a new body and Sousa got a new leg but we weren't able to stop the time drive from jumping around and literally every week where there's a problem I'm sitting here like oh is this where Fitz will appear and save the day??
The promo for next week shows us that we're somehow going to be stuck in the time stream and like I said earlier, I'm wondering if Fitz will somehow be the one to save the day. It's a little strange cause I totally thought we'd be dealing with Jiaying and Afterlife for another episode since we can't just leave Nathanial running amock but maybe we'll get to that in two weeks.
