What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 17

Even when we have a happy episode I find that my heart is in my throat anyway cause it's just so damn cute!! The kids went on a school trip to Kyoto and are continuing to take steps forward in their emotional growth though I suppose an argument could be made that Kyo has actually taken a step back. He's been uber grouchy since Akito and this week he took it out on some random girl who wanted to confess her love to him but the interesting thing to note is what he said about how he feels no need to be nice to people he doesn't care about. The poor thing is clearly worried about his time being wasted but to others it sounds like he's just being a right asshole. At the very least though he's the only one of our main trio that actually understands his emotions. Yuki is still super confused about what he feels for Tohru though he's clearly protective of her with Kyo and Kakeru. Speaking of Kakeru, I'm still interested in why he's so interested in Tohru especially now that we know he's got a girlfriend that he loves. Meanwhile Tohru is falling more and more in love with Kyo but the little cutie has no idea cause she's just running around worrying about him falling in love with another girl and feeling like her heart is about to fall right out of her chest when he smiles at her. It was the cutest thing that she handmade a cat zodiac to go with her collection and I can't believe that Kyo hasn't jumped her yet cause that melted my heart. Uo was also struggling with her feelings but Tohru didn't mention that Kureno is a Sohma cause she knows that it'll only hurt Uo more.

I'm really curious about the title for next week being Wanna Kiss? cause I'm sure that it'll end up being like Shigure teasing Tohru or something but I will melt into a giant puddle if it's a real couple saying that let alone Kyo and Tohru though I'm like 99% sure it's too early in the show for those two to get together.

Stargirl Season 1 Episode 11

This show is stunningly well done and I'm always low key in awe of how much love has been put into the writing. It's nowhere near an Arrowverse show which is a really good thing cause as much as I love those mindless popcorn shows, a show that places this much love into it's story is leagues more exciting to watch. At first I was worried that this episode would focus too much on Justice aka Shining Knight and not on the aftermath of Henry's death but luckily it managed to balance it perfectly alongside Courtney's real dad's return and Jordan's conflict. I loved that we finally met Courtney's dad and that he was nothing more than your run-of-the-mill jerk cause I like the idea that Courtney is worthy of the Staff just cause of her herself and what a good person she is rather than due to her genes or the fact that her father was Starman before her. It also showed her that she actually already has a dad by her side in Pat and I loved the way she reached out to him over and over in times of crisis and how different he was than her actual dad in how he was like this is all about you so if you need to yell or cry, I'm right here. It still makes me feel horrible about poor Mike who's seriously been left out of everything too much and it broke my heart when he asked Pat what he did wrong. Fortunately I don't think this secret will last too much longer with Brainwave on his way to kill the entire family. Jordan was hesitant to kill Courtney and Pat cause of his crush on Barbara but after he realized that she knows the truth too, he was able to pass on the kill order.

Agents Of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 10

When I first heard that this season would be playing with time travel I was really curious about which route we would take. Would we screw up the timeline for fun cameos and exciting stakes or would we try to keep the timeline intact and pretend like our SHIELD team was just playing in the background while major events happened which admittedly is the more boring option. In the end it was option 1 that was chosen and at first I was really excited about the changes but after this week I'm almost completely certain that we're going to end up changing everything back the way it was. Mack's parents' death could be ignored cause Mack was at least alive already but when Jiaying was killed I was like oh nope we're definitely going to have a moment where we fix everything cause there's no way that Jiaying dies before Daisy is even born! I'm also really upset that Nathanial really does look like the villain we'll be fighting until the end of the season cause he's the worst but I'm not ashamed to admit that I let out a shriek when Garrett showed up this week. I am a little disappointed we're done with jumping through time cause the only two things I wanted from this season was Fitz and to see Ward again! With three episodes left I'm sure we'll see Fitz but it sucks that we might not get a Ward cameo cause he was only just born in 83! Kora is also a little too on-the-nose evil and I don't understand how she's magically got control of her powers after five minutes of meeting Nathanial when years at Afterlife couldn't help.

Next week's promo really only showed us Kora interacting with our SHIELD agents but with Deke on board the Zephyr, I'm sure he'll be able to help save Jemma and I really really hope that Fitz shows up to save the day. Maybe we'll also find out what exactly Nathanial wants.
