What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 18

This week was intense on a level we haven't seen in a while cause of course it was sad like every other zodiac backstory but it was also horrifying. We've known Rin for a while now but we didn't actually get her backstory until this week and now I completely understand why people have been talking nonstop about how Rin is their girl and how they would kill for her. I will never understand why all the Sohma parents are such horrible people cause to me I can't see the zodiacs as monsters or burdens or whatever the bad zodiac parents view their kids as since it's like they're all still your children no matter what and turning into animals once in a while isn't even that creepy! Rin's parents as it turns out might be the worse of the bunch cause they not only mentally and emotionally abused Rin but they also psychically hurt her too. It's made even worse by the fact that Akito in her rage shoved Rin out of a window cause Rin had the audacity to "seduce" one of Akito's possessions which is fascinating cause I'm wondering who Rin reminds Akito of as Akito's reaction to Rin and Haru was leagues worse than Hatori, Hiro, or Kisa so it can't just be a matter of Rin being a woman. The only good thing in Rin's life was Haru and I almost cried with how cute they were which makes it worse that Rin is pushing Haru away in order to protect him from Akito. Now that Tohru saved her I'm hoping that the two will be able to talk to each other and figure out that they should work together to break the Sohma curse. As this is a shojo I can't help but wonder if it would be as simple as love but more specifically truly loving the cat spirit cause the cat is the most hated of the spirits.

Stargirl Season 1 Episode 12

This week was the penultimate episode of the first season of Stargirl and it was the perfect build up to the finale next week! Tigress and Sportsmaster went off to kill Courtney and her family but were thwarted because Courtney fought off Tigress with her staff and Mike surprised Sportsmaster as he fought Pat. I was seriously worried that this show might end up killing Mike cause it definitely has no problem killing characters but luckily not only did he finally find out the truth but he managed to get out and is safe so far though I could see Sportsmaster and Tigress killing him while the others are away. They did kill Bowen which was the weirdest scene cause Bowen basically egged them into killing her by randomly talking about how unlucky their daughter is for having parents like them when it's like dude you've got a mission why are you talking about this? I did like the idea of all of our crew hiding in the woods while we came up with a plan though I kind of wish we had a full episode of the crew in hiding or fighting off the ISA as they came to the cabin. I also still don't understand the ISA's plan cause even now when Beth read off their manifesto, it's actually all good and I can't really see anyone other than Jordan actually caring about racism or universal healthcare so it's like what do the others get out of it? Why did Brainwave have to kill his own son for this? I do like the idea of the machine only working on adults cause it gives a reason why our JSA is all full of teens and I like the idea of having to fight Pat and Barbara.

Agents Of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 11

For the penultimate episode of the final season of SHIELD I do have to say that it wasn't exactly what I wanted. I still really hate the idea that after this season ends that our crew will all split up and live normal lives cause it's like seriously that's not how an agency like SHIELD would work! Would bad things just stop happening cause SHIELD isn't a team anymore?? We did confirm that we're in a new branch timeline which I sort of assumed was already known by our team cause this isn't exactly the first time our agents time traveled but it was a little surprising cause until this episode I did sort of assume that we'd somehow go back and fix things but maybe in the end this will be better cause so many lives we lost over the course of the seasons might be saved starting with Ward. I'm going to be so totally sad when he doesn't appear this season cause I'm worried that the shoutout he got this week will be all we see of him! On that note we did get Fitz which I almost screamed about and now I'm almost fairly certain that the internet theories about a Fitzsimmons baby that I first laughed off are true. It doesn't exactly explain why Jemma had a full mental breakdown during the time loop but I'm also not really worried about Jemma forgetting Fitz cause maybe when she takes Diana out, they'll all return. Daisy and Daniel are also super cute together and I loved that Mack and YoYo had bet on them getting together and how he gave Daniel the shovel talk. Sybil also brought in reinforcements and they managed to destroy every SHIELD base on the planet taking out HYDRA with them but it brings me back to the confusion over whether we'll fix the timeline cause if SHIELD isn't around then they couldn't save Cap and form the Avengers therefore stopping Thanos in the future so we can't have that!

The promo for next week almost made me cry cause it's the last one we're ever going to get and after the two hour finale that's going to air next week, we'll never get any more SHIELD and that's heartbreaking. What I wish is for old SHIELD members like Bobbi, Hunter, and Ward to come back but I don't think that'll happen so at the very least I'd like Fitz to show up and help save the day cause I will be pissed beyond measure if we only see him in the last few minutes of the episode after the day is saved just to see Jemma reunite with him and their baby.
