Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
Even though I've been watching this show for six seasons now, I still manage to forget sometimes just how batshit insane it really is. I mean what other show can you say solves a nuclear crisis by playing football with the nuclear launch codes suitcase? We landed in 1962 this week in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis cause Mick found the alien that kidnapped Sara. The Cubans thought that it was an American attack so they launched a missile at America and the American counterintelligence wanted to launch a missile back which is where Nate and Zari came in as they tried to get JFK to not. It was interesting seeing Nate and Zari team up and that the show actually touched on the whole Zari 2.0 looking like Zari 1.0 but I have to say that I'm not entirely sure the show put that relationship to bed. Idk maybe it's cause Tala Ashe could have literal chemistry with a wall but like something about the look they shared when Nate told Zari that she reminds him of herself and not Zari 1.0 felt like there could be more. I know this show doesn't exactly do love triangles and I definitely still do ship Zari 2.0 with Constantine but I wouldn't mind some drama in that realm. Speaking of chemistry Mick and Kayla shared some and I can't wait to see what comes of that. We didn't see any Sara this week but I'm sure we will catch up to her next week.
So there's no new episode next week cause of Memorial Day so we have to wait two weeks to see the next one which super sucks! The promo kinda looks like we'll be doing a bottle episode in which we spend most of it watching Astra adjust to life on Earth which honestly doesn't sound all that great given I don't really care about her... I do hope if this is the case then we get to see a lot of Zari and Constantine!
Well we finally got all the answers we wanted and I'm totally heartbroken over it! Poor Kyo deserves the biggest hug and I want to curse everyone who ever mistreated him. As I suspected he wasn't actually the reason for Kyoko's death and really all that happened was that he wasn't able to stop her from being hit but because of everything he had been through he saw it as another reason to hate himself. The poor guy was inches from killing himself and he used hatred of Yuki as a way to go on which is why he was so ready to pick fights with Yuki when he first showed up in season 1. He thinks that Kyoko told him that she would never forgive him for letting her die but like Tohru I doubt that's what she said. I have a feeling that Kyoko said something more like I'll never forgive you if you don't keep your man's promise to protect Tohru. I loved that Tohru listened to all this and decided that none of it mattered and that she would go against her mom for the first time. Kyo didn't seem ready to hear it and he definitely screwed way the hell up by telling her that he was disappointed in her when he said that nothing she could ever do would but I mean what can you expect from teenagers? Akito showed up at the end looking ready to kill Tohru as well and if she does stabble Tohru then I wonder if that will be the thing to force Kyo into deciding that nothing but his love for Tohru matters.
I've never been more thankful that this season has decided to do pods cause if I had to hear these five strangers call each other family one more time I was going to vomit all over my laptop. I mean seriously we don't need to go into it again cause I definitely said my fair share last week but I just want it to be known that I rolled my eyes so hard that I gave myself a headache several times throughout this hour. Nora's return to the light was totally ridiculous and made no sense and I still don't understand why she thought that murder was the right answer when clearly love was *gag* but it led to Barry and Iris deciding that now was the perfect time to try for kids which made me laugh. I do wonder if Bart who's supposed to be coming later this season will end up being their son but I really hope that the show sticks with grandson cause if he was their son then it would feel like a retread of the whole Nora West-Allen thing from a few seasons ago. In other news I was really confused with the return of Frost cause I thought the show was writing her off and Danielle Panabaker didn't help things by writing a whole Instagram post about saying goodbye when not only did Frost cameo this week but it looks like she got out on probation also making her whole sacrifice feel kinda meaningless. Was this a rewrite? Or another Flashpoint situation?
So no Flash next week but the promo for two weeks from now shows us that it'll be Cisco's farewell episode and I'm not exactly thrilled about losing him but then again the actor has seemed done with this whole thing for seasons now given how he barely appears in this show and how he hasn't really had a storyline for ages like Caitlin does.
Superman & Lois Season 1 Episode 7
Ahhh so we're not actually doing the whole Red Sun storyline thing where Lois actually marries Lex Luthor since Kal-El is the bad guy in that universe cause as we find out Captain Luthor isn't a Lex from another world like I thought he was. He is in fact John Henry Irons aka Steel who is one of the many Supermen we get in the Reign Of Superman comic storyline and that's definitely interesting though I don't know if that's more interesting or less so than him being a Lex. At least we know that eventually he'll join the good guys given that he is a hero in the comics? I am curious about how much he remembers about his final moments in that warehouse and whether he remembers the boys or Lois showing up or if he was too terrified of Clark coming towards him. I do really want to know what happened in his world and why Clark shifted sides cause it seems that in his world Clark was Superman for a while only to change sides and I can't help but feel like that must mean that some sort of brainwashing or Kryptonite ex-machina was involved. I also really liked that Lois and Clark told the boys everything and I really liked them saving Clark making me wish that the show would go full sidekick sooner than later! I need Jordan suited up as Superboy like yesterday!!! In other news we still don't know what Edge wants or who he's working with but we do know that he's looking for test subjects in Smallville and sending the X-Kryptonite out.
I hope we finally get answers next week about what happened on Irons' world cause it seems like a large chunk of the episode will be spent talking to him in the DOD prison.
My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 10
Ooh man this week's episode was so cool!!!! We didn't actually get much in terms of the fight of 1A v 1B cause the whole thing was taken over by Deku unlocking a new part of his One For All. As I suspected weeks ago when we first heard about it, One For All has reached it's final singularity so it's at it's most evolved form in Deku which means that rather than enhancing the user's quirk (or basically giving super strength to those without a quirk like Deku and All Might) it can now basically give the user each of the quirks that the past 8 successors used only powered up. Deku met one of those past users and he learned that the black whips that he released by accident was the quirk of that user and that's honestly the coolest thing ever. He's basically got like multiple quirks now and though it does feel a bit like cheating, I'm really curious about how he'll be able to hide it now. Will he have to reveal that he's got One For All or are people really just going to think these new quirks are just an evolved form of his same quirk cause unless all the past users have a strength based quirk then it'll be hard to convince people.
