What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 5

On the whole this wasn't exactly the best episode to come back to cause I really didn't care much for following Astra through her troubles but the Sara and Bishop stuff was interesting enough to save it. Having said that there were some stuff in the Astra storyline that were fun such as seeing her seeing John do all sorts of funny things popping in and out of the manor hinting at previous episodes but also I really loved everything once Crowley turned the world into an animated one. Seeing the Legends as magical objects was hysterical but I am curious about the whole John has no more power thing and based on his face it looks like he can never get it back. Naturally I'm not worried cause I'm sure he'll drink from the alien fountain that Crowley was talking about and get it back but I do wonder how long he'll keep this whole thing a secret for. Meanwhile with Sara, I'm still not thrilled at where this whole alien thing ended up but I did like the idea of Bishop being the creator of the Ava clones cause it'll definitely lead to some fun Ava stuff. It also seems like Bishop has somehow linked his life with Sara's so like kill one the other dies too but it doesn't explain why they're immortal. Also his plan is seriously one of the dumbest I've seen on Legends so there's that.

The most exciting thing about next week is definitely Gary coming back cause the whole Sara storyline didn't feel the same without him! I am curious though about why Bishop would send Amelia to Earth and the Legends specifically cause wouldn't it just cause problems for him?

Fruits Basket Season 3 Episode 10

We really are ramping up towards the end and it's high key making me sad cause I don't want it to end!! Part of me still can't help but feel like things are being rushed like Yuki falling in love with Machi or Kyo forgiving himself for everything. Like it was just two episodes ago that he decided that he was unlovable but all of a sudden none of it matter anymore? I'd maybe believe it a bit more if Kyo in a funk went to visit his dad and then realized that he was misremembering certain things about his mom's death leading to him thinking that maybe he was wrong about Kyoko or even seeing his father and deciding that isn't who he wants to be like but the way it played out Yuki basically told him to get over himself and Kyo was like yeah okay. I guess I shouldn't complain too much though cause I want Kyo and Tohru to have a heart to heart next week and kiss for real cause I adore them! Meanwhile Akito told Arisa where Kureno was and she went to visit him and they basically decided to run away together cause Akito needs to move on and Arisa loves Kureno and it was adorable as all hell especially how shocked Kureno was that Arisa would follow him when he thinks that he doesn't deserve her. Akito too decided things were about to change when she said that Kyo was free and that she's knocking down the cottage. 

The Flash Season 7 Episode 12

We're back with a new episode of The Flash and it was Cisco's goodbye episode. Once again I probs should have cared more but the amount of times that I thought this show was writing Cisco is too high to count so I'm pretty sure I've used up all my emotion on it. That and somehow this show no longer makes me feel pretty much anything. Legends and Superman & Lois still do but this one I watch more amused than anything else. Like the big thing all episode was that Cisco told the others that he was leaving to take over ARGUS's science division and then worried that they wouldn't miss him cause they were acting too cool only to find out that they were just pretending not to be sad so that their last day wouldn't be filled with tears and honestly what juvenile writing. That might be such a mean thing to say but there I said it. Also I had to laugh at the idea that Diggle and Lyla went to Metropolis at the end of Arrow but now Cisco and Camille are moving to Star City? I do wonder who the show will get to replace Camille though cause the new photographer will definitely be a supporting cast member who'll eventually join Team Flash so it can't be some nobody. Maybe this is how Bart comes into the picture? Also it looks like Cecile is going to be the villain for this back half cause it looks like her powers are evolving or she's seeing someone that no one else can?

Okay so yeah the promo for next week definitely just answered my questions. It looks like it's someone else who's going to be the Big Bad and they've possessed Cecile's body for it unless this is all a red herring to trick us which I could believe.

Superman & Lois Season 1 Episode 9

I'm always so amped watching this show and I wonder if at any point I'll be over how good it is cause I really hope not. This week saw Jordan and Clark get poisoned by the synthetic Kryptonite gas that Clark was doused with last week and I liked the idea that it was basically like a virus with the way it spread from Clark to Jordan. It's always so fun to see the two of them do superhero things and I'm just waiting not so patiently until he gets to wear the Superboy costume. On the other hand I am starting to worry a smidge about where Jonathon's storyline might be going. Like we all know that eventually his powers will manifest but it'll probs be a while from now but in the meantime I'm really enjoying the parallels between him and Lois but the thing that worries me a bit is the thought that maybe he'll end up more like General Lane than Lois despite the fact that he's adamant that he would never fear his family especially after he fought those X-Kryptonite people. I don't doubt that he would love and protect his family but I do have a feeling that he'll go a bit dark which is sad for my sunshine boy. Also we found out that Edge is also an alien but I really hope he's not Kryptonian or actually Clark's family cause I feel like we've been there done that in like every iteration of Superman including Supergirl and I'd like to imagine that this show is more unique but at the same time what else could have turned Clark in John Henry Irons's world other than the appearance of his family?

Ugh the promo is really doubling down on the whole Edge and Clark are brothers thing huh? Please be a red herring! Also it looks like the kids might be stuck in one of General Lane's bunkers while something is going on? Yes please!

Loki Season 1 Episode 1

Ahhh so the first episode of Loki is finally out and it was everything I could have wished for! Okay so the first half was a bit rough cause the Loki we meet up with is the Loki from Avengers who went on and on about destiny and freedom being fake and wanting to be King which was my least favorite Loki but as the episode went on we saw more of the anti-hero Loki who is more my jam and that's when the episode kicked in for me. I love that despite everything Loki does love his family in his own sort of way. The way he freaked out at the idea of the TVA having his mom somewhere and losing it seeing her die and then his dad and smiling at the idea of bonding with Thor again made me heart ache for him. The whole thing made him realize that he's so far out of his depth with this time travel stuff and I'm left wondering what he'll end up doing cause despite the goodness in him he's still not a hero and I bet he's still got a plan cooking in the back of his mind. Like maybe he'll play along and see where this whole thing goes but in the end he wants to take over the TVA or meet the Time Keepers or something and I look forward to seeing where that goes. I am curious about the fact that there's a Loki out there that's killing TVA members and I wonder which dark timeline he's from cause I can't see ours really hunting despite all his threats.

My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 12

Okay now that the show is officially moving on from the competition, it's starting to feel like the amazing gem it was before. Like I always enjoy competitions and stuff but somehow it's not my favorite part in this show and something about a competition without any stakes was meh to me. Like at least previous competitions were meant to get the kids internships or hero licenses but this was just meant to reintroduce us to Shinso so that we'll be happy when he joins Class A cause duh obviously he will given that Eraserhead is his mentor. I did like seeing Eri again cause she's adorable and of course she was with Best Boi Togata and that she gave Deku the confidence to not fear his One For All cause quirks are just tools that can be good or bad based on who wields them. It was also fun seeing Shouto and Katsuki catch those villains and help save the day 30 minutes after they got their licenses and it was funny seeing Shouto reach out to his dad to ask him to help train his fire just cause of how Endeavor reacted. Like hold up villain I need to text my son back.
