What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

Fruits Basket Season 3 Episode 2

I think we all knew that Shigure saw Akito in a different way than the other zodiacs and since I was spoiled long ago about Akito being a girl I sort of always figured that it was because Shigure loved Akito for real. Because of this I wasn't exactly surprised at the reveal we got this week but it also didn't keep the show from hitting me in the feels anyway. Shigure and Akito are such horrible manipulative people honestly but the shipper in me is all for their toxicity especially given that this is a show and not real life! At some point Akito slept with Kureno and Shigure found out and was furious so he did the one thing he knew would hurt Akito the most which was sleeping with Ren. Akito kicked him out of the Sohma estate when she found out which honestly was one of the most tame reactions that she's had to a zodiac doing something she didn't like and it totally explains why Shigure who seemed to be the one zodiac who liked being around Akito was the one who lived outside the estate. I do still wonder how this show will wrap up everything with Akito cause she's been so warped for so long that I can't imagine that the unconditional love of one will satisfy her. On that note Tohru was all torn up this week over what she learned and whether she should share it and seriously more than that I still want to know what broke Kureno's curse in the first place!! She and Kyo had a cute moment though naturally it was interrupted and we also found out that Rin has been missing but I'm sure that we'll find out she was with Ren.

The Flash Season 7 Episode 7

This was probs the best episode of this season of The Flash and I'm wondering if it was cause it was a Frost centric episode. Kramer was on the hunt to capture Frost this week and she put out a warrant for her arrest and the rest of Team Flash had to awkwardly pretend like they were on board when in actuality they were helping Frost. She was being framed as a murderer and the real culprit ended up being this super hot human dude who was obsessed with ice and had been secretly studying Frost cause of her powers and really I was more disappointed in the fact that Mark didn't end up being a love interest for Frost. I mean it's still possible that the two hook up given that Frost isn't exactly an angel herself especially given the fact that the two had this sexual tension even during their final fight but I don't know if the show will go there cause he actually killed someone. Meanwhile I was right in saying that Barry was uncomfortable with Speed Force!Nora around and it was cause the new Speed Force is different and wants more to do with Barry as a person rather than the hands off approach it used to take. This makes me wonder if maybe this Speed Force!Nora isn't really the Speed Force or if we're meant to believe that cause it was brought back by love that it has more love to give... No Cisco this week but we got Allegra and I'm really curious about why this show seems to alternate cast members. If the cast is too large for the show to afford it really should cut characters though tbh Team Flash isn't that much bigger than Team Arrow was and yet we saw all of them all the time!

We seem to be going on break until May 4th and I don't entirely know why but at least when it does return it'll come back with Legends which I'm gnawing at the bit for! The promo seems to show that Frost will be going on trial and it's honestly hilarious that Kramer is pushing to have Frost's powers stripped from her using the meta cure when there are tons of other metas out there that actually murdered people and yet are just in meta jail with dampening cuffs.

The Falcon And The Winter Soldier Episode 5

I had heard rumors that the most emotional episode of this show was episode 5 which also doubles as the penultimate episode and I was curious as to what that meant cause to me the most emotional episode had to be last week's just based on shock alone! Tbh I do think that Isaiah's whole backstory was totally horrific and it definitely pulled from real life in terms of experimenting on black soldiers during World War 2 but I also didn't love that the show did the thing I hate when it tries to prop up new characters by throwing old ones under the bus. Steve has always been my favorite MCU character and I don't love the way this show is tarnishing his reputation. He was never a government puppet and had his own ideals and needs and wants and I was glad that despite Isaiah lumping him in with the problems of the country, Sam did not. Speaking of I was actually really surprised that the government turned their back on John Walker cause I totally expected them to handwave it off and be like it was something we told him to do the way they support most military schemest that come out. It really does feel like the show has so much to wrap up in the finale next week cause not only do we need to stop Carly who's now armed with weapons against the GRC but also Walker who's built a fake shield in order to get revenge. I assume we'll also learn Sharon's deal who I'm fairly certain was the one to call that French dude who gave Carly the weapons and I just want to know if she's working for the Power Broker and if it's the Mandarin and setting up Shang Chi!

My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 4

I was actually really worried that Class B would win this first fight against Class A and Shinso which would have sucked cause I think that some of the side characters in Class A like Asui are a lot more powerful than we know but because this is a shounen they would lose just to even the odds. I mean it's not like Class A can win every single fight after we hyped up how Class B has been so steadily growing in the background but we also know that the losers can't exactly be one of the main fights like with Deku so by process of elimination it would have to be the lesser fights! Fortunately for my soul, we ended up winning and it was really nice that the show didn't pin the entire win on Shinso and showed us that he actually was at a disadvantage and it was only cause of Asui and Kaminari's ability to adapt on the fly that gave him the chance to strike. I was surprised at the fact that the show spent the entire run time on this fight though not disappointed cause I adore the academy part of this show just as much as the villain fight and like RIP to poor Kirishima who I gained a soft spot for during the Eri arc after he got taken out so early on!
