What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?

Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 16

I hate this show for making me cry every week! I mean you literally cannot watch this week's episode and not cry unless you're heartless! The whole theme of this episode was missing someone you loved and whether it would be better or worse for them not to be around or to be here but you couldn't see them. Tohru ended up going to the Sohma estate cause she found out from Uo that the man she was in love with was someone named Kureno and it made Tohru think that maybe it was the Kureno Sohma she met. On her way there she met up with little Momo who broke my heart anew cause she apparently had been watching Momiji for a while in secret cause she thought he looked like their mom and wanted to ask him to be her big brother so they could play together and the saddest thing was how she decided to play violin so that they might learn together only for Momiji's father to be like sorry Momiji but you have to stop going to the teacher that taught you for years cause it's too dangerous and the whole thing was so hateful cause it's not like the teacher can't have two students or something! The one thing Momiji wants is to play violin and his dad is even taking that away. It wasn't Momiji's fault that he was born with a spirit! The whole thing made her think of her mom and how much she wishes that she could see her again but can't just like Momiji with his family. Kureno and Uo also added to this cause they both clearly want to see each other so much but Kureno is afraid to go against Akito and bring Uo into this world. It's kinda similar to Kyo and how much he loves Tohru but how he told her that when she falls in love, he'll be there to help her cause it's like not even in the back of his mind does he hope that Tohru would love him back and honestly it's the sweetest and made Tohru cry though I think it was more of a subconscious thought since she doesn't realize that she loves Kyo yet.

Stargirl Season 1 Episode 10

This show is absolutely insane and the stakes are seriously higher than I've ever experienced in a superhero show! In most shows you know that pretty much the entire cast will be safe from harm just based on the fact that shows don't usually kill off main characters but Stargirl has no qualms with making you love a character only to lose them. I mean it was crazy enough when Joey Zarick and his parents were killed by Icicle but this week we had Brainwave kill his own son Henry and we find out that he killed his wife Merri too. As it turned out Merri was Starman's sister and cause Icicle saw that she was changing Brainwave into a good person, he lured the JSA to be killed knowing that Merri would never forgive Brainwave for killing her brother and apparently after that Brainwave made a decision and picked the ISA over his own wife. It was absolutely shocking and horrible and I'm so upset cause I finally was on board with Henry being a good guy only to have him die. I wonder how this will affect the current JSA members cause now they definitely know how evil the ISA is if they're willing to kill their own children for the "cause." Meanwhile Barbara and Pat went through some stuff cause she found out the truth and though at first it looked like she was ready to leave Blue Valley and possibly divorce Pat, it now looks like maybe she might end up joining the team instead cause she's got a great position to spy. Other important news looks to be the fact that Courtney's real dad might still be alive cause he emailed Barbara back and though I'm not surprised with the fact that her dad isn't Starman, I'll be interested to know if he's an important character or just a throwaway civilian.

Agents Of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 9

Man this episode was depressing as hell but mostly just cause of the ending! My favorite thing about this episode was that SHIELD gave the whole time loop episode an exciting twist by giving our characters a deadline so they couldn't just jump endlessly. Of course that meant that there was no comedy to be found since our characters were looping towards death. It was seriously awful that the whole thing ended with Enoch's death cause Enoch has always been one of the best characters on this show but I guess it helps that his best moments are with Fitz and with Fitz not being in this season, it stings a little less. Speaking of, we still didn't get any Fitz but we did manage to get Jemma's implant out for a few seconds to figure out how to fix the Time Drive and Jemma had a full mental breakdown which makes me even more curious as to why Fitz is in hiding! I know the popular theory around the internet is the idea that Fitz is in hiding with their daughter but I can't imagine that she would breakdown like this or that she and Fitz would program Enoch to kill her before letting her memories come back. Another thing to note was the fact that Daisy and Sousa kissed and though it got reset, I'm sure that Daisy won't forget it and at first I wondered if she would go for it but after what Enoch said at the end about this being the last mission these SHIELD agents would go on, I'm wondering if she'll decide that spending time with the team is more important. Speaking of, what in the world did Enoch mean by that? I know this is the final season of SHIELD but I sort of assumed that the show would end with pretty much how every other season did with the team staying together but us just not seeing their adventures anymore. The real plot twist would be if Fury showed up and was like we don't need SHIELD anymore so come with me to SWORD and that's what breaks them up cause some would like a normal life on Earth while others go on the adventure again.

Next week's promo shows us that we're returning to Nathaniel and Afterlife and though I'm happy we'll be getting more Jiaying, I do kinda hope we can deal with Nathaniel next week cause I'm already over him as a villain.
