What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

FINISHED
 
Lucifer Season 6

I'm honestly so torn over what I feel about this season cause as much as I love this show and was ready for more at the start of this season I also couldn't help but feel like season 5 was the perfect end to this whole show. Having said that I do have to admit that after I watched this season I actually thought where Lucifer ended up fit better in terms of a character arc than where he ended up in season 5 though I also can't help but feel like this season pretty much negated the last and I'm left wondering why the showrunners bothered with the whole Lucifer as God arc if they ultimately wanted him to be a therapist in Hell? I also felt like most of this season was pointless and kinda meandered around with no real point except for the fact that we finally met Adam, Ella finally got to find out the truth about the celestials (and an amazing relationship with Carol who I adored more than I thought I would) and I liked seeing Dan's journey to Heaven. I do wonder if a major part of my distaste for this season was my distaste for Rory's appearance cause it gave me Arrow PTSD flashbacks. Like Oliver, Lucifer was gone for the entirety of his daughter's life and only met her for a bit to convince her that he loved her and then ended up with Chloe after she died. In this show it's a little less weird cause we know there's an afterlife and most of our characters are immortal or can be visited anytime which is why it's extra weird that Lucifer couldn't just pop up and down from Earth to Hell. On the whole I don't think this season was worth it but I'm a completist so here we are.

FINISHED Legends Of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 15

Well the season 6 finale is officially here and I'm really just thankful that we only have to wait like a month for season 7! The finale wrapped everything up in a much nicer bow that I expected with every one of the Legends alive and well including Spooner and Constantine as well as Bishop stopped. I'm a bit disappointed with the way the whole thing with Constantine ended cause he did come back to life but Zari was so fed up with his nonsense that they just broke up. I would honestly have preferred a more tragic end cause I liked my original theory that his death would be the thing that turns Zari 2.0 closer to Zari 1.0 as she mourns but I guess this way it leaves the door open for Constantine to return and for Zari to get back together with him given that not only did he give her a key which I think opens his roving House Of Mystery but also cause Matt Ryan is still on this show so it wouldn't be that hard to have him pop up again. I was also surprised that both Mick and Spooner seem to be sticking around but it was nice to see Sara and Ava get married though I really wish that the show could have gotten Quentin or Laurel back cause I hate the idea that Sara got married without her family! I'm not sure who the villains will be next season but I'm looking forward to whatever we get!

Stargirl Season 2 Episode 5

Was I the only one that thought that not only did Cameron know that his dad had ice powers but also that he had them too? Cause based on the final scene from this week it looks more like he's coming into his ice powers for the first time and just in time for him to probs hate Courtney too. I have a feeling that his grandma who also has ice powers to my surprise will tell him the whole truth out of worry that he's getting too close to Courtney. I do wonder though what will happen when he finds out cause we know that he's a really sweet kid and he clearly wants no part in anything Cindy is doing and clearly hates her so he's not going to join the ISA but I also can't imagine that his hero worship of his dad will allow him to forgive Courtney and the others. If Rick wasn't such an ass then he would have been one of the best people to reach out to Cameron and bond over losing his parents too but c'est la vie. I do have to say that this whole children of the ISA learning about the JSA hurting/killing their parents really makes me uncomfortable in a way I know means that I'm connecting with this storyline even though I want things to be rosier cause it's better than how I watch The Flash all disconnected! I'm also still worried about Mike cause Cindy has not given up on him but also we know that the Star Staff can remove Eclipso's influence so I imagine that after he gets infected he can be cured. I'm also glad that Pat is finally trying to get Mike to be his sidekick knowing that Mike feels alone!

What If Season 1 Episode 5

Duuuuudes I don't even know what this was!!! It's so fascinating how every single What If that we've watched so far other than the Captain Carter one ended so tragically which makes it seem as though Kang low key might have been right in controlling what the correct timeline would be since it's clear that unless all of our Marvel heroes choose one specific path every time then the universe comes to an end! In this world Janet contracted some sort of quantum virus that Hank brought back with him and then spread to the rest of the world making them all into zombies. We watched every one of the Avengers be killed and even at the very end when it looks like our heroes can get to Wakanda to create a cure, it might be meaningless since we know that Thanos's army will breech Wakanda's forcefield therefore not only getting the Mind Stone to complete his Infinity Gauntlet but also letting the zombie virus in and infecting the last safe zone on Earth. What I am curious about is the fact that zombie Thanos still seemed to retain his goal of wanting to snap away half the population despite turning into a zombie making me wonder why the other Avengers like Steve weren't able to fight it. Would we imagine that Thor, the Guardians, and Captain Marvel could save the day given that they're still in space away from this zombie virus?

Titans Season 3 Episode 7

I love that it's sweet innocent Gar who's the only real one in this show to actually worry and care about Jason no matter how little they got along when they were together. I'm still not sure I buy the reasoning behind Jason's turn but I can chalk it up to Lazarus + weird Crane brainwashing drug so I still would like to hope that if the Titans detox Jason and Gar stays with him as moral support that we'll be able to get him back. We did manage to beat Scarecrow this week which was fun and Blackfire and Starfire took the first step into reconciling when Blackfire told Starfire why she had to kill their parents and then when Starfire gave her a costume. I'm not sure I'm into the romance that's being set up between Connor and Blackfire cause he's a literal child in his mind but whatever I'll go with it. On another note it's curious that we're so far into the season and yet we still haven't seen hide nor hair of Raven or Donna. I guess I'm now just expecting them to show back up to save the day when the Titans are down for the count.

My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 23

Whereas we saw more of Twice last week this week was focused on Shimura. For some reason I was going around thinking that he was All Might's mentor's son when actually he's her grandson. Her actual son was a monster in his own way given that he abused Shimura for being too much like her. He despised the fact that his mother left him to be a hero and when Shimura told everyone that he wanted to be a hero it triggered anger in him. It's ironic how easily he could have been like any of the other kids in the hero academy if only he had better role models. I did hear a theory though last week that I can't get out of my head and the more I think about it the more it makes sense. What if this whole thing was part of All For One's plan? Like what if he gave Shimura the decomposing quirk knowing that he would hurt his family and sent all the heroes after something so that he could swoop in and save Shimura in order to prove to him that heroes are nothing and keep him in his back pocket as a trump card.
