Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
This episode was everything and it can completely be chalked up to the fact that it was focused on Zari and Constantine who are not only my favorite ship in this show currently but also Zari's my fav so there's that! I had a feeling going into this week that whatever was going on would cause Zari and Constantine to focus on their own relationship and decide what they were. I mean the two were so adamant that they were only hooking up last time we saw them and it felt very much like they were overcompensating and that's exactly what happened. I think it was truly genius of the show to pair up Zari and Constantine given that while on the surface they seem like complete opposites, when you look closer you see the two are the same. They both struggle with loving themselves and believing that others would care for them and cause of that they've had a string of failed relationships. I thought it was interesting that it was Constantine that took the first step but I was glad that he did cause it led to them performing together beautifully and accepting that they want to be boyfriend and girlfriend. In other news Sara accidentally stumbled into the lair of whoever wanted to buy her and he's got a man bun which if that doesn't sum him up then I don't know what will!
Next week looks like we're traveling back to the past again and hunting down Kayla which is one of the best things that Mick has come up with all season so far!
Dudes there's no way that Kureno is dead is there??? There's no way that Akito actually murders a member of the zodiac and still gets redemption right? I don't care that the show did the whole metaphor thing by showing us Uo looking at a dead sparrow cause I refuse to believe it until we see a funeral or his dead body next week! The funny thing is that every time we focus on Akito and what a terrible childhood she had I always feel pity and start to want good things for her only for Akito to royally screw them up and make me regret ever feeling that pity. We learn that Ren seduced Akira as his servant and then hated Akito cause she took Akira's attention away from her which was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard but it was cause of her that Akito clung so hard to the zodiacs and became such a terrible person. I still don't know what is breaking the bonds though and it's driving me crazy cause this week we see that it was Hiro that lost his connection and I'm sitting here like but why?? On the other hand shout out to his mom who we already knew was the MVP of zodiac parents but continues to shine every single moment she has. I'm also curious about whether Tohru was about to confess to Kyo and whether he'll tell both her and us the audience about what happened given that it was confirmed that this season will only have 13 episodes meaning that everything needs to be wrapped up in the next 6!
This episode was rough with a capital R and I'm not sure if the problems of this episode were highlighted cause I watched it after Superman & Lois or if it's a problem I have with this season on a whole but seriously guys it was roooooough. I cannot wrap my head around what this season is about. Like it was bad enough that this show started it's big main couple off as adoptive siblings but now they're parents to 4 different Forces that they metaphorically birthed? Last week when the show made that joke I thought it was nothing more than a joke but this week they've seriously doubled down on this fact by having the Forces call Barry and Iris mom and dad and it's creepy as all hell. I also don't love the way the show is rushing Alexa and the Strength Force connecting. I liked that Caitlin called out the fact that the situation was similar to her and Frost but we saw Caitlin and Frost process their bond over almost 4 seasons while Alexa and Fuerza are friends after 30 minutes? Spare me please. It also doesn't help that I don't understand what Nora wants or why. If it's so easy to reason with the other Forces then why was her plan of attack to kill first? And seriously which of the Forces even care enough about her for her to be so scared of them? I also really can't find it in me to care about Cisco moving away but it does look like maybe his new job will be at ARGUS? At least that'll give the Arrowverse a way to bring him back like Diggle and Lyla who also are at ARGUS.
Are we really about to deal with Nora on the whole next week? I guess I didn't realize but the new showrunner for Flash has changed the way Flash is written so like Agents Of SHIELD we will be doing little pods or as this show likes to call it graphic novels in which we deal with several storylines across one season. I guess that's fine cause tbh the only thing I'm looking forward to this season is Jordan Fisher who's going to play Bart Allen so once this Nora thing wraps up I can look forward to him!
Superman & Lois Season 1 Episode 6
We're finally back and I was high key thrilled about it cause this show is still as incredibly well written as I remember it to be! It will never be my favorite of the Arrowverse which is a honor that went to Arrow and now Legends but it's still really good. Last time we saw Tag show up again upset and sure that Jordan had something to do with his new powers and this week we saw him attack Jordan and then ask Sarah if she knew what Jordan was. Though he didn't get the answers he was looking for he did ended up activating something in Jordan so now his powers are much stronger than they were before. He's having migraines and seizures and is unable to control his heat vision and ended up breaking Jon's arm possibly to the degree that he might never get his full range of motion back which super sucks but I am glad that Jordan is finally seeing the consequences to his powers cause no matter how much Clark talked about it he didn't see that it was a problem until now. I loved Clark's speech about trust and how every time he uses his powers it's another test of trust cause it's so true and I love that this show is touching on those darker themes in Superman without going Synderverse dark with it. Meanwhile Lana and Lois are going to team up to find dirt on Edge and Lois found out about the X-Kryptonite in the Smallville mines but more importantly is realizing that Luthor isn't a good person. I have a feeling she'll be the one to discover his truth and it makes me laugh cause this show really is relegating Clark to just being a dad who sometimes goes out to punch things rather than the one hunting mysteries and stuff.
Wow the promo for next week looks so good you guys!! Clark and Luthor are finally going to meet up but I'm more excited about Jordan and Jon possibly saving the day!
My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 9
Class A really beat Class B in 5 minutes and I was pretty excited about it even though I knew it was coming. I mean seriously there was no way that Katsuki would lose but I'm kinda glad that it ended so quickly so we can move on to Deku. I want to see him show off how much he's improved and I'm really curious if his weird new thing is related to Shinso at all or whether Shinso's powers will open up a better link between Deku and the past One For All users. I do have to say that he does have one of the lamest teams of the group cause I've never thought that the purple guy was useful and the show doesn't use Mina's powers all the well but I suppose Ochaco can hold her own sometimes even if she's been relegated to the girl having a crush on Deku for seasons now. I mean the last time we saw her be badass was during the tournament right?
