Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
Of all the things I expected this show to do it wasn't to make the current Sara a clone of the old Sara!! I mean at this point why not given that Sara's died and come back to life enough times and the Laurel currently living in our Arrowverse is from another Earth?? I really hope this means that Sara can really dig into the horror that comes from realizing she's a clone and whether that means that she's still Sara but I worry that since this show is mostly a comedy that it'll just brush the whole thing off and pretend like it's no big deal. It's about time that the show gave Sara a meaty storyline outside of dating Ava cause all the other Legends get something! Speaking of the Legends I still really don't care for Spooner but I think it's probs very likely that she also houses some alien like Amelia which is interesting cause I totally thought that she would be a half alien. It's also interesting that John is still hiding his lack of magic from the team but it was pretty great that Zari picked up on his sketchiness even if he convinced her he was fine. It was also pretty hilarious watching the Legends destroy his house and naturally Mick slept with Gary's alien fiance. Gary meanwhile might be hooking up with Cooking Ava which will be hilarious but also creepy!
The promo for next week shows us that the Legends are going to be trying to stop Sara's kidnapping from ever happening which I'm sure will go well but it looks like it'll be focused on Behrad so at least there's that!
This episode was truly everything I could have wanted and more. There are still shivers running up and down my spine even as I write this review and I cannot imagine how people watch this show and think it's boring or not living up to the hype. I spent what feels like ages waiting for Tohru and Kyo to finally kiss on screen when they're both conscious and aware and yet that wasn't even the biggest thing that happened this week! I loved seeing Tohru freak out realizing that there was no world that she wanted to live in that wasn't by Kyo's side and that the moment Kyo apologized and begged for another chance she gave it without hesitation and I was honestly really glad that Kyo did acknowledge all that he did wrong though I also wish he had said that he lied when he said that she disappointed him cause that barb really did stick with poor Tohru. I loved that they kissed and that he wanted to hold her just for a second in order to savor the moment but I'm still kinda confused about what led to the curse breaking. Is it a lack of fear of the future? Is it a realization that they don't need or want the Sohma family or the curse? Did Kureno really think all this as a child back in the day? I really did like the look back at what the original zodiacs and God wanted and I do wonder like God at what point it went from something everyone (except for the cat) wanted to a burden.
Oddly enough this was a pretty solid episode of The Flash which fascinated me cause you all know that I'm not really about this show anymore. Sue came back and it looks like it'll be on a semi-permanent basis which was good cause it sucked that just cause Ralph's actor was a horrible person, Sue's actress had to suffer as well. I still don't know why the show doesn't just recast Ralph but maybe they really did want to downsize on the amount of heroes on Team Flash given that Frost left as did Cisco so the only ones with powers are Barry, Cecile kinda, and Allegra. I'm still waiting for Bart to arrive though and I'm worried all this anticipation will leave me feeling disappointed especially since Jordan Fisher is busy on Broadway and I wonder if he'd have the time to do both... Cecile's whole thing with therapy does feel a little out of nowhere but I liked the talk Joe and Cecile had at the end which might have made the whole thing worth it. It was also hilarious seeing Chester catch Barry and Iris in the Starchives and how he was like please do it somewhere else. Also I guess I was wrong in assuming that the mask was the Big Bad cause we defeated it pretty quickly so the hunt's still on to find the second half of the season's Big Bad.
Next week feels like a bit of a filler episode given that we're following Allegra as she tries to find her evil cousin but at the same time some of the best episodes of The Flash have been ones that don't focus on The Flash so I'll keep an open mind.
Superman & Lois Season 1 Episode 10
I want to roll my eyes at the fact that Morgan Edge really was Clark's half brother but honestly that part makes sense especially after watching the Syfy show Krypton and seeing how much the world focused on genetic engineering. It's the fact that he ended up on Earth that I don't love cause I never really like when there are tons and tons of aliens from Krypton who escaped before the destruction since more Kryptonians means Clark is less special. I also don't know if I love the fact that Jor El never actually told Clark that he had a half brother but I did like that we finally got a glimpse of this universe's Jor El and it was super sweet that the first thing Clark did after saving the day was take his mom's consciousness to the Fortress so that he didn't have to lose her for the third time. What I'm not entirely sure of is whether Morgan Edge followed him to the Fortress or if we're somewhere else cause the whole dark and empty landscape thing was not helping. Also as a sidebar Lana is such a badass and I wish that she had someone better for her than Kyle the hot mess but also I'm still on the Jonathan going dark bandwagon even though I don't particularly want to be.
Hmm looks like the promo for next week is showing us that we'll actually be getting a flashback to when Clark first became Superman which is interesting. I wonder if it's meant to make him reaffirm his love for humanity while he's suffering from a solar flare.
Well okay no one is shocked that the Loki we're chasing is Lady Loki but I am really curious to find out what she wants. Our Loki despite everything still wants to rule and he's switched his target from the Nine Realms or whatever to the TVA but Lady Loki just bombed the sacred timeline which means that she must want to destroy the TVA or find the Time Keepers. Maybe she's pissed at the way her story was written in the sacred timeline and wants revenge or maybe she wants to fix problems like Ragnarok? Speaking of what's interesting is the fact that the TVA file says that Ragnarok killed a major portion of the Asgardian population but I was fairly certain in Thor Ragnarok that Thor and Loki saved most of the population if not all but if that's not the case then the jokes that Taikia placed right as everyone watched Asgard explode was really much more horrible than I first thought! Part of me is glad that Loki followed Lady Loki into that portal cause I want to know more about her but the rest of me is a little sad that everyone who distrusted Loki was proven right. It sucks that Moebius is going to be blamed for all this even though really if Loki wasn't in the field or if this mission wasn't sanctioned, everything would still have gone down the same way so bygones and all that maybe??
My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 13
Even though I can't help but feel like all of the Class A v Class B stuff was low key filler even if it did showcase to us how much our kids grew over the course of 5 seasons, this episode was definitely more of a transitional one than the previous ones cause it definitely feels like we're building up to something really hitting the fan. I couldn't remember what happened to Best Jeanist but I thought he was okay last we checked after the All For One fight so the fact that he's missing has me curious. Did he just recently disappear and is this disappearance more of a missing/kidnapped thing or that he's taking a break? I feel like the fact that the rest of 1A doesn't know must mean it's the second but either way him disappearing means that Katsuki and Deku can go with Shouto to intern with Endeavor which makes me happy cause the more Shouto we get the better!
