What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

FINISHED Batwoman Season 1 Episode 20

This was a strange episode and I don't mean because this was a random episode of Batwoman that was meant to be the finale but because I just can't get behind where the show is going. I'm really not a fan of how Jacob has suddenly buckled down on Batwoman cause unlike Quentin over on Arrow, though Jacob had never been a fan of Batwoman he never had a kill order on her either and I just can't buy his about-face especially through a throwaway line like she let my wife's killer back on the streets. That's Alice right? Who killed Mary's mom? I mean by that logic so did he cause he wasn't able to stop Alice's escape. He's going so far as to literally trying to shoot Batwoman at point blank range and trying to figure out what kind of bullet could pierce her armor and his anger frightens me a little. It was especially intense not only to see Kate's heartbreak over the betrayal in the arena but later when she talked about how her dad hated her and how if he ever found out the truth would think of her the same as Alice. If that's true, Jacob has completely lost it cause Alice is out there murdering people while Batwoman is just trying to help. I am loving the way Mary, Luke and Kate are a team and honestly I hope the show sticks to a small team like this cause in these Arrowverse shows when there's a million people on the team it's ridiculous. In other news Alice killing Mouse completely shocked me honestly and might be the thing that shows us that Alice has officially snapped and that Beth is completely dead now. Mouse just wanted them to leave Gotham and be happy but Alice couldn't look away from her revenge but the most shocking part of all this is how the show has officially cast a Bruce Wayne and he's honestly exactly like what I'd picture a Bruce to be. At first I thought he looked too young (like Tyler and Melissa being too close in age over on Supergirl) but upon further research the actor who plays Bruce is 10 years older than Ruby Rose so it all works out. 

Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 7

Well Akito's arrived at the beach and so far honestly he's not been so bad! I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop but if Akito doesn't break Yuki, then it has to be Kyo or Tohru cause they're the mains and I can't imagine every manga reader screaming about the beach if Akito hurt a side character no matter how much I love them! It was interesting to note how everyone's moods dropped the second Shigure mentioned Akito was here but even more so how Akito brought Kureno with him and that Kureno is literally not allowed to even interact with the others. I really wish I knew what Akito's deal was cause he's so weirdly possessive of all the zodiacs and I wish I knew why he picked the favorites he did. Why is he so obsessed with Yuki but then can't go anywhere without Kureno while also draping himself all over Hatori and Shigure? I almost completely forgot that Kyo's not allowed to be around Akito and like though Tohru was sad for him being left out, honestly it was probs for the best cause no one wants to be around Akito. It's funny cause Kyo has his own demons but he also feels like one of the more well-adjusted zodiacs. Maybe I just feel this way cause Yuki in comparison is a hot mess or because of his relationship with Tohru. We got another example this week of how differently Kyo and Yuki view Tohru and how they interact with her and why I prefer Kyo. Kyo notices when Tohru is off and he tries to help her and their bond is much more mutual while Yuki I was back-and-forth about in terms of how he saw her but this week I really got a motherly vibe from Tohru in Yuki's eyes and he really only sees Tohru for how she can help him. I also liked that we learned a little more about some of our zodiacs' parents. We knew that Kyo was estranged from his birth father and that his mother killed herself and I'm assuming that's why his father hates Kyo. Yuki's parents gave him up to Akito as we've seen but nothing more and Momiji's mom hated him until she forgot him. I think Kisa's mom somewhat loves her but we learned this week that mom of the year goes to Hiro's mom who looked at Hiro turning into a goat and said I love goats and if that's not the sweetest thing I don't know what is. Hatsuharu's family is the only one left that we haven't learned of.

Stargirl Season 1 Episode 1

Wow. Wow. Wow. I went into this show not really expecting much cause I wasn't a huge fan of the trailers since it made this show feel too cheesy but honestly after watching this pilot, I'm seriously all the way on board with this show! It struck the perfect balance of action and character development. Courtney was fun to watch and I loved that though she was upset about Pat and the move, she didn't really take it out on anyone else and was able to see that her mom was happy so she wanted to try to like Pat. Of course it helped that at this point she figured out that Pat was a sidekick so that makes him all the more cooler! I love that the Cosmic Staff is kinda sentient and that Pat will be around to help train Courtney and teach her how to use it even if he's not thrilled that she'll be putting herself in danger. Pat's pretty awesome so far and I low key love the humor in this show but I don't know if I believe that Starman was Courtney's father cause I think the Staff works like a Green Lantern ring in that when one user dies, it finds another that's worthy. It's also interesting that we already have a whole bunch of villains for Stargirl to fight in the Injustice Society and that despite having won for the past 10 years or so, it doesn't look like the members have done much for themselves cause it's not like they're ruling the world or anything like that but I'm also curious about the other heroes we'll be meeting and if they'll end up being kids of heroes or if Courtney will make friends and then recruit them or if they'll meet as heroes first and then become friends in school. Overall I think the writing on this show is tight and the characters are well written and acted. It feels like every DC Universe show has a plan and it's only been Titans that has been a mess!

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 13

You know I had been wondering last week how we'd be doing a zombie apocalypse this week but I really should have guessed right away that it was obviously going to be a trick of the Fates! It's totally funny though cause for a second I really did wonder if we were going to loose Sara and then end up bringing her back with Behrad and Astra at the end but once all the Legends starting dying, I realized that we would be going a different route. I'm not entirely sure how Charlie is supposed to overpower or trick her sisters into doing literally anything on Charlie or the Legends's bucket list but with the immortality spell wearing off before we got our hands on the Loom, that is the only way to get what we want. I knew from the start that something was going to go wrong cause of the way Sara reacted when Ava touched her but it is always fun to see Ava lead the Legends with how she's always so nervous and confused by it. Astra struggled to decide whether a few good moments with her mom would be worth it if she'd end up losing her mom anyway but like Gary showed her, of course it's better to have some moments than none and besides Astra doesn't know how far into the future her mom will die! What if Astra has another 20 years? In other news Zari and Constantine finally hooked up (and Charlie picked up on it right away which was hilarious) and I'm living for the soft looks Constantine keeps giving her when she's not looking and how Zari's so adamant about keeping him from smoking. I do have to admit that I really expected more of a love triangle with Nate but he's like seriously backed off of Zari but I guess it's more likely that he just has no idea that anything is even brewing between them to worry about and once he does then he might have something more to say.

Next week is the penultimate episode and it looks like we'll be going from tv show to tv show and that somehow it'll be Charlie's doing but I actually really hope that Behrad is there too cause if Charlie brings back all the Legends this way, she should be able to get him back too though maybe Gary and Astra might be too hard. 

Tower Of God Episode 8

Guys honestly I think I'm just too dumb for this show cause most of the subtle hints end up just flying over my head! Apparently despite losing the tag game, some of the characters could pass based on their scores from training and I guess their abilities to impress the test admins in this test so Khun, Lauroe, Shibisu and Anaak had enough points to pass but Bam, Hatz, Endorsi, Serena and Hoh are up in the air though I'm not sure if I'm too worried cause it's too early in this show to stop a main cast member from advancing. I still don't love that Hoh is on our team cause I still can't help but feel like he's going to be an antagonist or at least a thorn in the side of the others just cause of how jealous he is of Bam so I want him to have to suffer on his own. Poor Serena was just trying to make conversation and he seriously shut her down. I also can't decide what Endorsi's plan is but I imagine that she picked up hints that Khun left behind like the test admins said that Khun did. Khun is still best boy and if it wasn't for my baby Kyo over on Fruits Basket, I might be saying that Khun is my season favorite! I just love the way he's low key so manipulative and cunning but also so loyal and kind to those he likes. I'm still annoyed with Bam's obsession with Rachel but I'm hoping that he manages to kick some real ass next week when we get to see more of Team B's tag test.

Harley Quinn Season 2 Episode 8

This episode was both hilarious and sad for so many reasons! After the kiss that Harley and Ivy shared last week, Harley was struggling to decide how she felt about the whole thing and decided that instead of looking inside that she was going to do something really evil in order to prove to the world that she was okay. When Psycho recommended that they go visit Darkseid and ask to borrow his army of parademons, my brain automatically went uh-oh bad plan abort cause I was thinking of how big and bad Darkseid is normally and how out of her league Harley would be but I forgot that since this show is more of a comedy, Darkseid wasn't much scarier than our normal villains and in fact acted like a bit of a therapist with how he noted that Harley was trying to fill a hole in herself with his army. It also ended up meaning nothing when she gave up her powers and basically sent the parademons home after Ivy was like what the hell are you doing Harley. Meanwhile Ivy and Kiteman met his parents and we found out that his parents don't think much of him cause he doesn't have powers and though Ivy tried to play along eventually she couldn't stand how he was being treated and stood up for him which was super sweet. It's such a struggle for me cause Harley is clearly into Ivy not but Ivy still loves Kiteman and either way someone in this love triangle is going to be crushed!

What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

Batwoman Season 1 Episode 19

With this being the penultimate episode for Batwoman, it definitely lived up to the hype that you would want before a finale but I can't but feel like something isn't adding up. The struggle for me is Alice's big evil plan. Why does she need to jump through so many hoops in order to kill Batwoman when she already knows that Kate is Batwoman? This sort of long meandering plan only works for a villain who doesn't know the person under the suit cause then they can only kill the hero when the hero is on the streets but Alice could straight up find Kate in her bar or whatever and shoot her or poison her and boom there you go! But nope instead we have Alice out hunting down leads to read Lucius Fox's journal and figuring out that Kryptonite plays a role in somehow getting past the armor. Having said that I do have to say that when Alice mentioned Kryptonite I did get pretty damn excited cause I'm a sucker for this kind of shit and I'm sure that Tommy Eliot has some sort of connect with the Luthors so it'll be easy to find. In other news we found out that Julia's big secret was that she made a deal with a villain in order to keep Kate alive only to find out this week that the journal actually had a manual to kill Batwoman so the deal was all null and void anyway and honestly it was so lame. Why even bother with this whole storyline if it wasn't going to amount to any drama? I also really don't love that Julia and Sophie are becoming a thing cause you know I shipped Julia and Kate! The final thing I want to comment on is the fact that Jacob drew a line in the sand with Batwoman and all but declared war on her. I've really been disappointed in the idea of the Crows this season cause I still don't think they have a point in this show other than being something to fill screen time. Maybe they were supposed to be some sort of DEO copy but if Jacob doesn't find out about Kate, it feels redundant. 

As I mentioned up top, next week is the season finale for Batwoman and it should be interesting. I can't really tell what's going on other than Jacob ready to shoot Batwoman but the title of the episode has to do with Mouse so maybe he plays a big role?

Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 6

Well I asked for plot last week and we're definitely starting to get it now! Like I've said before I'm an anime only girl for this show but I've been spoiled on some small plot points though this beach arc isn't one. All I know is that manga readers have been screaming about the beach since this season started and the posters and everything have beaches on it so the minute Momiji was like let's all go to the beach, my radar was up! Let's start with the happier stuff before diving into the real meat of the episode. Hiro and Kisa are still the most precious and I love how much Hiro is in love with Kisa without any need to hide it from himself like the others guys in this show would. It was also interesting to note that the boy who helped Tohru when they were young is Yuki but I wonder if there's more to the story cause all we know is that Yuki helped walk Tohru home one day but Tohru last season mentioned that the boy in the hat was her first love. I don't mind either way cause like you all know I'm a Kyo and Tohru shipper and we had a few notable moments here too. I kinda love how Kyo's the only one in the group that notices when Tohru is upset or putting up a front cause it goes to show you that Kyo pays enough attention to notice and he probably sees something in the way she fakes it with how he pretends to be all tough. Now onto the nitty gritty. I cannot figure out Shigure! He's clearly not a good guy cause he practically egged on Akito to go to the beach house with the kids but at the same time hid the fact that Hatori was walking with some girl. He practically slept with Rin one minute and is being all romantic with Akito the next and besides that isn't Akito with Kureno? I mean I'm assuming Shigure wants this curse broken cause that's the only reason why I can imagine he's scheming but what does Akito and Tohru have to do with it? I do have a feeling that whatever Akito does will break hearts more than even Kyo's true form arc.

FINISHED The Flash Season 6 Episode 19

I actually really liked this episode for what it was and honestly I really don't mind that we'll be going into next season with Eva though we defeated Carver and Black Hole. Like Diaz and the Ninth Circle over on Arrow, pushing a villain into multiple seasons always makes the villain feel like a bigger deal than normal villains do. The only thing I can complain about is how I wish that Carver and Black Hole had a bigger role in this half season or at least as much air time as Eva did cause I really liked the idea of him being a villain that Barry couldn't beat with just his powers and that he would need all of Team Flash to come up with a smarter plan! In the end though it was Eva killing him that did the trick and the ironic part is that it really shows you just how easy it would be to defeat a villain that's so wide reaching like him but the only reason that our heroes can't is always just because our heroes don't kill so they need elaborate plans. I do have a feeling that what happened between Eva and Carver is a mix of what they both claim happened. The most likely scenario is that she tried to wait for him to help her but he never tried or gave up after a little while and while she was waiting, she started to lose her mind and became someone he doesn't recognize anymore. It's interesting though cause I spent so much of this episode (and this season) thinking that maybe Eva's not the villain Team Flash thinks she is despite what she did with Iris and the other mirror clones cause she hasn't actually killed anyone but Carver and Carver's the real bad guy with how little he cares about those he hurts but after she pinned the whole thing on an innocent like Sue rather than another bad guy and refused to give up Iris and company after she got what she wanted, she's not so good after all. It's also super strange that Barry never managed to build his artificial SpeedForce by the end of this season so that'll have to be something we see next season. I'm also wondering if we'll be seeing Caitlin next season and if her goodbye was meant to cover Danielle's maternity leave for this last part of the season or if she needs more time after the baby is born too. Iris meanwhile is seriously losing it though she was able to control the Mirrorverse now but she ended up disappearing at the end and I'm not sure what happened!

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 12

This week's episode was all about Greek life! The crew figured out that they will need three Fates in order to work the Loom but you can only be a Fate if you are a God and in order to become a God for a day, you need to drink from Dionysus's chalice. They ended up finding the chalice at a college frat and through a series of events they found out that Dionysus was actually the head of one of the frats on campus and was using the devotion he got from the college kids that partied with him to stay in power and if the Legends wanted to use it, then they needed to join a frat or a sorority. In the end though this episode was mainly about teaching Astra to trust the Legends and that she could have more than what she thought she had back in Hell. Honestly though the whole sister thing was all very heavy-handed and kinda annoying cause Astra seriously kept ruining every plan whether on purpose or on accident but I did love how exasperated she constantly was with how insane the Legends are with their elaborate plans. I did miss Constantine for most of this episode but he totally wouldn't have fit in on the college campus so it makes sense that he disappeared. Mick also really didn't fit into this episode but he had his own storyline with Lita and how she was possibly interested in going to school at Hudson. He worried that she was embarrassed of him cause he's not a college grad or even a person with a good job but she was honestly more worried about the fact that she didn't think she fit in and they were able to connect more. In the end everyone except Zari ended up drinking from the chalice and became Gods but the chalice is only supposed to allow you to be a God for a day so they must use the Loom next week unless Dionysus extended how long they could be Gods cause it is his cup after all. The other option is that the Loom still doesn't work but I can't see how else it would without needing 3 Fates to use it. I'm also curious about what the other two Fates plan to do now that they've kidnapped Astra cause they still don't have the Loom.

Next week's promo shows us fighting zombies but like I said before if the whole God thing only lasts a day are we going to say the last three episodes left in the season will take place over a day? 

Tower Of God Episode 7

This week explained a lot more about the Princesses of Jahad and though I sort of picked up the basic idea last week with Endorsi and Anaak, it was nice of the show to explain it better now. Jahad is the first man to climb the Tower and because of that he was able to create the kingdom the Tower resides in and he chooses women he likes to become his daughters and bestows on them insane power but in turn the women are not allowed to have children cause then the power would get passed on and that's against the rules. The thing is that I do want to feel bad for Anaak and everything but at the same time it's like this was a known rule so then what did Anaak's mom think was going to happen when she ran away? What this story did do was lessen my annoyance with Anaak after stealing Black March but she's still not going to be my favorite character. Rachel is still seriously confusing me as a character and I'm definitely starting to feel like there's something more to her staying away from Bam than what it seems like what if the Tower admins were like stay away from Bam or else you can't climb the Tower. If even Endorsi is like Rachel you're going to lose Bam if you act like this, Rachel's definitely acting weird. Ho also went through it this week with his insecurity towards Bam and his backstory looked terribly sad. I bet that he's climbing the Tower in order to keep his people safe but I'm more interested in what the note he got says and whether it came from a Tower admin or another player. If I had to guess it's probs a way to defeat Bam and it's going to be awkward cause he's on Bam's team this test. The curious thing about this game of tag we're going to be playing is that it broke up the teams we had up until this point but I'm not entirely worried that Khun and Bam are on separate teams cause it looks like they won't be fighting each other but a Tower admin.

Harley Quinn Season 2 Episode 7

Did we just watch the start of Harley and Ivy's romance??? Part of me is like oh yay cause Harley deserves love and I think they'd be cute together but the rest of me is like oh but poor Kiteman! I'm really not looking forward to the poor dude getting his heart broken when all he wants is Ivy. I do have to admit though that I had a feeling that it was only a matter of time before this romance happened cause Harley's biggest romances are with Joker or Ivy and with Ivy getting married soon I figured something would have to come up in order to stop that cause I couldn't imagine Ivy getting married. The weird thing is that I never really picked up on romantic vibes between the girls until now but I suppose that it'll be fun to see where this goes. Bane was hysterical this week but more than that I loved Ivy's open mic moment where she talked about who she used to be and how much she's changed cause of the people in her life. I do think it's a little sucky that we really never saw that Ivy who was cold to the world cause all of these moments where she talks about how she grew would work better if we didn't start the show with her all soft and malleable. In other news I was living for everything with Barbara and Jim and how she outed herself to her dad as Batgirl and how they worked together to take down Two-Face.

What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

Batwoman Season 1 Episode 18

I did really enjoy this episode of Batwoman but I'm not sure that I understand where the rest of this season was supposed to go. I still can't help but feel like two episodes ago when Alice was put in prison or last week when the whole guilt storyline came to a close should have been the end of the season. Even if we didn't have our shortened season, the fact that we dealt with our season long villain only to start seeding random new threats this week when there would have been only 5 episodes left felt strange. I mean all of a sudden Julia isn't who we think she is and neither is Reagan. Julia apparently left the British spy service 6 months ago after spitting on everything they believe in and is after this journal that describes how to kill Batman/Batwoman and I'm sitting here like I wonder who she's working for. At first I didn't want to believe that a Pennyworth was bad and it's possible she still isn't but at the same time it would be more drama for the show if she was. Reagan on the other hand reappeared this week and I was like oh interesting only for her to be Magpie's sister and scout and yikes is Reagan in for a bad time in the future cause she's definitely going to get a visit from Batwoman soon. I do have to say though that I'm loving watching Alice rule Arkham cause it feels so Batman to have a villain as the head that allows Batman's Rogues in and out whenever they want. I also really loved the talk that Kate had with Mary about why she tried so hard to keep Mary safe and it was totally sweet cause you know I live for scenes with the two. We also the beginning of Batman Hush storyline with Tommy Eliot which should be interesting cause we don't actually have a Batman.

Next week is the penultimate episode for Batwoman with the whole shortened season thing and I'm excited to see what happens! Hush is on the rampage and Alice escapes only to capture a lot of Team Batwoman.

Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 5

We met a new Sohma this week who I'm pretty sure was the final zodiac member we hadn't met yet and I high key adore him already! It's funny cause I haven't actually heard anything about Kureno from the Fruits Basket fandom unlike how excited everyone was about Rin last week but honestly I'm more fascinated with Kureno than Rin! He's clearly being set up as Uo's future love interest and this makes me so excited cause obviously I want nothing but good things for Uo and this might be how Uo finds out about the Sohmas and the curse. I had been wondering for a while if Uo and Hana would ever find out about the Sohmas but I assumed that they never would cause they seemed like side characters rather than main ones but I kind of like the idea of them finding love in the Sohma clan too. What's interesting though is that of all the Sohmas, Kureno seems to be the most beaten into submission by Akito cause like he told Uo all he does is go where he's told and I wonder how important he is to Akito cause I assumed that it was Shigure who was closest to Akito but seeing how Akito embraced Kureno at the end has me wondering what's going on! I wish we could learn more about the Sohmas already and what this curse is cause now that we've met all our characters, we need to focus on the plot! I assume that by the end of this show the curse must be lifted or something so let's hop to it please! The other half of the episode was about the kids going to a haunted house and it was all pretty meh though I did think it was funny how exhausted Kyo and Yuki were about the whole thing in the end. 

The Flash Season 6 Episode 18

I was mostly just meh about this week's episode despite it being the penultimate episode. Cisco and Ralph returned this week and Barry told everyone about the Mirrorverse and what happened. Cisco did not take this well cause like Barry he had been living with a mirror copy of his girlfriend and while they were trying to figure out how to get into this Mirrorverse, they met another Godspeed though this one is apparently the real one and all the others were just copies. With Cisco busy and Barry low on speed, they turned to Hartley Sawyer who's the villain Pied Piper in this post-Crisis world again and apparently hated Barry more than before cause Barry accidentally hurt the man he loved. They ended up saving the guy thus Hartley was able to help them stop Godspeed. I do have to say that Godspeed's plan was low key idiotic cause Barry doesn't actually have like any velocity left so wanting Barry to give it up is hilarious. On that note it's still so weird that Barry hasn't built an artificial Speedforce yet and I'm starting to wonder if we'll even get one by the end of this season or if it'll end up being something for later. It would be a good cliffhanger for the season if the last few minutes were of Barry's hand shaking or lightning streaking. Over with Caitlin and Frost, Frost said goodbye to Ralph this week and it felt was oddly final which made me wonder if Danielle would be taking some time off of this show cause of her baby though Ralph got angry with Frost so maybe we'll just really say goodbye to Frost for a bit? Honestly I wouldn't mind this cause I miss Caitlin! Iris also started to suffer from being in the Mirrorverse too long like Eva did with the headaches and the itching but she did find Camilia and I think it would be super cool if this storyline followed Iris back but I have a feeling that once she leaves the Mirrorverse she'll be fine again.

With next week being the finale, the promo seems to be all about how Iris might be succumbing to insanity after being in the Mirrorverse so long but honestly Barry I don't think you should be taking advice from Carver!

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 11

I love Legends so much and I'm so beyond happy that of all the shows that I'm watching currently that Legends was the one to have already finished filming and producing their season so it's not shortened! I had been saying last week that I was curious about what the big problem with this show would be if we had already collected the three pieces of the Loom and had Charlie as a Fate and we got an answer this week. Apparently Charlie is not strong enough to work the Loom on her own but I can't imagine that her sisters would ever help so I'm going to assume that the only way to use the Loom will be to make two of the other women on the ship into Fates and if I had to guess, it'd be Sara who's basically an Oracle already and Astra cause she's been trained to be a Fate by a Fate. This would mean more if we didn't know that John could basically strip the immortality from a Fate cause he did it to Charlie a few seasons ago but there still might be something tragically poetic about Astra finally getting her mother back only to not be able to be with her cause she's no longer attached to the mortal world. I do think it's really cool that Sara's an Oracle now too but once again the fact that she's gone blind probably indicates that she'll be fixed by the end of the season cause while I could imagine that she keeps her future vision powers, I can't see her staying blind. Maybe it's something the Loom can fix too? In other news Mick brought Lita onto the ship and I'm still really not interested in this storyline and that's mostly just cause I don't care for Mick in general. I'm also not thrilled with how Astra spent so much time this week teasing Zari about how she has a thing with John cause I really thought the show was being a fun subtle with this possible relationship but by banging us over the head with oh look at how cute Zari and John are, it's not as fun. It's also ridiculous cause all that happened was that Zari told John that they should get Behrad first and that's not so weird cause Zari did threaten John two weeks ago!

Next week it looks we'll be dealing with frats on a college campus that possibly are under a spell and while that seems hilarious, I'm not sure whether going back to hunting Encores is a great idea since Astra isn't even in Hell to send them but maybe the Fates would think that luring the Legends out of the temporal zone would allow them to get the Loom back.

Tower Of God Episode 6

I low key want to apologize for my meltdown last week cause honestly I think the point of this show is to slowly give us bits of information as we go rather than all at once so I shouldn't be that pissed. We learned a little more about our main characters and the world this week. Apparently everyone who climbs this Tower is ranked into one of five categories but I'm not entirely sure if we're supposed to assume that based on that chart we saw if Fisherman is supposed to be the highest rank just cause it was on top. We do find out that of our main trio, Bam is a Wave Controller which is basically the magician of this world, Khun is a Light Controller which is basically the person who tells the others what to do and how to do it, and Rak is a Spear Bearer which is pretty self explanatory. We also learn that the Princesses of Jahad are simply just women from different families that are adopted as Jahad's daughters and given power. Endorsi as we find out is another Princess so now we've got two and a half in this Tower currently with Yuri on her way to find Bam and Anaak as it turns out not really being a real Princess. We learn through Khun and flashbacks that the Anaak we know is in fact the daughter of the real Princess Anaak and that this Anaak has only taken on her name. Apparently she believes that the real Anaak died heartbroken cause the other Princesses of Jahad killed the man she loved and though I don't know how much I believe that, I'm curious as to why  the Tower Admins aren't worried about Anaak like they are with Bam. I mean the only reason she is climbing this Tower is apparently to kill as many Princesses as possible in revenge and that feels like it should be against the rules! Rachel also came to see Bam and she told Khun to lie to Bam about who she was and though Khun assumed that it was cause Rachel was ambitious like the woman he loved, Rachel seemed to be seriously torn up about the whole thing in the privacy of her room and it makes me wonder what's really going on. She seemed to have a nightmare about Bam leaving her for these new friends he was making but it's like if you're so scared to lose him, why not reach out? It's not like the other competitors are all staying away from each other. 

FINISHED Rivedale Season 4 Episode 19

Honestly I feel like it's unfair to judge this episode like the finale it is cause it normally wasn't supposed to be one. I'm saying this cause as a finale I don't think this episode worked but that doesn't mean that this episode wasn't fun to watch! I actually really liked the whole storyline with Jughead in which we watched him write a story for his college application and saw it play out as if it was happening for real cause it felt like an homage to the old theories that Riverdale viewers had about Jughead's death being a part of his Baxter Brothers novel. I also really liked that it played back to back with what was actually happening in the real world with Mr Honey and the fact that he was attempting to cancel prom. As we learn Honey besides being into creepy videos has been cancelling proms in every school he taught at for some reason and I do have to say it was completely hilarious that the kids all turned to their parents when they needed help and I loved how badass the parents were in getting prom back on. It was the most high school we've ever seen these kids act cause I did totally expect what Jughead was writing to be the way they got their prom back but instead we saw them prank the principal like the kids they are and ask for help! Since we also learned that Honey isn't the one sending the tapes so I'm back to the theory that Charles and Chic are working together on this and I'm not sure I love the weird retcon that despite Honey acting creepy these last two episodes, that he was a good guy after all. I think it's possible that he did both good and bad and yeah it makes sense that he would go to Stonewall. I still don't entirely understand why Jughead lost his spot at Yale other than the fact that Betty wanted it and the show wants to give Betty what she wants but I'm glad he's got some sort of college plan with the University of Iowa. The episode ended on Betty and Jughead watching a video of Honey being killed by them and I wonder what it even means? Could the voyeur be one of the kids?

Harley Quinn Season 2 Episode 6

This week's episode was basically this show's version of Harley Quinn and Joker's first meeting which kind of made the episode a little boring after how much I enjoyed last week's episode. I know it's needed for the people who watch this show and don't know Harley's backstory but honestly I'm pretty sure like Bruce Wayne losing his parents, everyone and their mother know that Harley was a therapist who fell in love with Joker. It's especially a weird place to put this episode cause it would have made more sense in season 1. I do like the idea that Joker falling into that vat of acid made me human again and erased his memories but I have a feeling that at some point, maybe even by the end of this season, Joker will end up losing this new family he has and return to being Joker. I mean after all his whole thing is that one bad day can turn anyone evil. I also liked the reveal that Harley actually didn't get Joker's real childhood back then and that he actually used Ivy's backstory to trick Harley cause it's seriously such a Joker move. Harley always thought that she meant more to Joker than she did and this was a nice way to remind the audience why the two are toxic. It's also interesting to note that Joker mentioned in the flashback that he did kill Jason Todd so now we know that Batman had a Robin before Damian and that there might be a Red Hood out there but I'm still waiting on Dick!

What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

Batwoman Season 1 Episode 17

I had a blast with this week's episode of Batwoman but it also low key sucks cause it would have felt a lot more impactful if this had aired back before the hiatus cause it wrapped up a lot of previously dangling storylines and the end felt like it totally could have been Batwoman's finale. We spent all episode dealing with Kate's guilt over killing and I loved that it was both Mary and Luke that eventually helped her move past it with Mary saying that Kate didn't need to be a hero and Luke explaining that Batman even broke his own code by killing Joker which is probs why Bruce vanished. We also found out who the mole in the Crows was and that he was the one to kill Lucius Fox and why. Apparently Lucius had a journal full of every Wayne Tech project and how to build them which Tommy Eliot wanted so he hired the Crow mole to get it but after Lucius refused was killed by accident. Everything he did afterwards was to hide his trail and he even went as far as being a second bomb maker to do so. I do wish that the whole Jacob being attached to a bomb thing had a bigger impact but I guess the more important part of all that was Luke deciding to put his revenge aside for good and for it to be the thing that finally got Kate to tell him what happened. I'm excited that Julia is going to be sticking around and joining the Crows though it looks like if she does get a love interest it'll be Sophie rather than Kate but I also loved that Mary finally told Kate that she knew who she was cause I'm down for another Team Batwoman member. Now I just need Jacob and my list will be complete.

The promo for next week feels a little more lighthearted with Kate and crew going clubbing and her running into her ex from earlier this season. With the production shutting down early, there's only three episodes left for this season and I wonder if Alice will get out of Arkham or if that was supposed to be an arc for the un-filmed finale.

Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 4

I can't explain just how excited I am about seeing all the new material in this second season. Since I'm an anime only, I have no idea about what's to come and it's all so exciting! We met a new Sohma character this week in Rin who we saw a glimpse of last season and though we didn't exactly get much more this week, it was more than before! Rin as we know from the opening song is the horse spirit and she's been in the hospital because of some accident. At first I assumed it was some sort of self-inflicted one based on how depressed she seemed last season when Hiro visited her but it also might be related to Akito. Maybe the fact that Yuki isn't returning to the Sohma Estate or how Kyo won't allow himself to be locked up led to Akito attacking Rin? Rin looked furious when she saw Yuki and Haru seemed to blame Kyo which has me wondering. Or maybe it's another example of Kisa and Hiro in that Akito found out about Haru and Rin and beat Rin up? Either way I'm excited to find out what's going on and what kind of person Rin is. She's gotta be a good one just based on the fact that she was dating Haru until recently and if that isn't a shock then I don't what is! In other news, I was totally proud of Yuki for ignoring how scared he was to return to the Estate because of how much he cared for Haru. Kyo also is growing leaps and bounds with how open he is now about his care for Tohru even if by the end of the episode he looked like he might return to trying to stay away out of guilt.

The Flash Season 6 Episode 17

Okay so honestly Barry suddenly realizing that Mirror Iris wasn't the real Iris felt like it came out of nowhere cause he never once showed any hints of thinking that something was wrong but I guess I can ignore it in order for the plot to move forward cause it feels like I've been waiting ages for Barry and the others to figure out who she was. It was low key hilarious though that the show tried to play it as Barry losing his mind when he was in detective mode at the West house and it was even better than Eva was steps ahead of Barry in terms of the weapon that shows you if a person is a mirror refraction. I love when villains are smart like that and I wondered if maybe the show would extend this story for a little longer but Cecile was able to figure it out and thus Barry was able to figure it out. Meanwhile Iris figured out that Eva wasn't the good person Iris thought she was and like props to Eva for having an extremely well thought out plan. What sucks though is that I'm pretty sure that Iris is right in terms of Eva thinking that she wants revenge but in actuality she still loves Joseph and I think that when they meet, they'll become a villain couple again when truthfully I want Eva to take him down cause he's an asshole and he doesn't love her. I'm also not sure what was happening with Caitlin/Killer Frost and at first I wondered if this was a way to write Danielle Campbell out of the rest of this season with the whole real life pregnancy thing and then I wondered if this was how Team Flash would go back to Ramsay but then we ended up using it as a way to bring back Caitlin's mom so I'm all sorts of confused! In other news I do have to say that despite me not being a huge Westallen shipper, that final scene when Barry and Iris told the mirror that they loved each other despite not knowing if the other could hear them was absolutely heartwarming so shout out to that!

The promo for next week shows us that Godspeed is back and I'm just casually over here like um again? I wonder if we'll finally build the artificial speedforce that Barry needs cause I can't imagine how else they stop a speed villain! We know that Flash's finale is in two episodes so who knows what'll happen!

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 10

This week was really interesting cause I ended up enjoying both the A and B plot unlike last week where I really only thought that Zari's storyline was interesting. We found out that Enchantress helped hide the third piece of the Loom and part of me was laughing at that cause I hated Enchantress in the Suicide Squad movie but it makes sense that Charlie in ancient Greek times would find Enchantress to help not to mention the fact that in this universe it seems like Enchantress isn't a bad guy after all. By accident Zari and Constantine got split up from the rest of the group and ended up in Constantine's house in another time period where they were swarmed by Encores so Ava, Mick, and Gary went to Hell to find Astra. In the end they realized that the Fates were down in Hell and Astra returned to Earth with Ava's help after she realized that if she wanted something she should try to get it herself rather than wait for it to get done. Zari and Constantine managed to work together, kill the Encores and find the final piece of the Loom and it's making me wonder if we've got all three pieces already then what's the rest of the season going to be about? In other news, this week has officially shifted me onto the Zari and Constantine ship (Hellstar? Starblazer? What even is their ship name??) cause at first I wasn't sure if I was just seeing things that weren't there because of the insane chemistry the two actors had or if the show really was hinting towards something between the two but after their almost kiss and Constantine's look of disappointment in seeing Zari and Nate hug, I have a feeling that a love triangle is brewing. I wonder if it's just that we never really saw the two together in previous seasons or if it's this Zari's dynamic with him that I love but whatever it is, every time they so much as look at each other I feel sparks!

I wonder if the promos for this show are a mess because of production problems cause this is the second week in a row that we got a promo where it was a mash-up of random scenes over the season and a moment that we haven't seen. It does look like Mick might be bringing his daughter onto the Waverider and Sara looks like she's okay as long as her eyes are covered up so there's that!

Tower Of God Episode 5

Every week I can't help but feel like there's a disconnect in terms of how I'm an anime only viewer so I don't know a lot of the Lore or the backstory for this show. It's like watching a show like Young Justice where so much of the show is left unexplained cause it expects you to know the DC universe and their characters. I suppose part of the whole appeal of this show is that every character is grey so we're not supposed to see them in terms of good or bad guys but I can't help but do it anyway cause how else am I supposed to watch a show without knowing who's on our side and who's not? The Test Administrator clearly knows more than the rest and as it turns out the Crown Game wasn't to get rid of Rachel's team who were more bloodthirsty than the rest but to actually get rid of Bam cause he's something different than the others and as the Test Administrator said different is dangerous to the Tower. Bam seems to be made of Shinsu rather than having the ability to control it and it makes me wonder if maybe he's supposed to be a manifestation of the Tower after gaining enough power to actually take a human form. It would explain why he has no memories and yet is powerful enough to continuously pass Tower tests and charm the Black March. I also can't tell you how low key pissed I was that Bam jumped off the throne to protect Rachel throwing everything that Khun sacrificed to the wind and it's like good for him for losing the Black March now cause it was his fault. That black clad character came out of nowhere and I'm left wondering not only from where she appeared cause she wasn't one of the members of a team but also why Rachel's team was so focused on destroying her and not getting the Crown cause obviously they must want the shortcut to climb the Tower too no? As a side note Khun is definitely my favorite character on this show and I low key had a moment when he put his hair up this week.

Rivedale Season 4 Episode 18

This week's episode just mixed everything up again in terms of plot and I think we the audience just figured out who's behind these tapes although the cast has yet to find out. Mr Honey as it seems was an avid visitor to the Red Room in the video tape store and his face when he heard that the FBI raided it was not good. It would totally make sense if it ended up being him cause he's been an antagonist to our heroes all season long despite me actually thinking that he might be right about a lot of what he says but it does suck cause it once again leaves Charles and Chic totally out there as a dangling thread. It was super sweet though when Charles called Jughead little brother cause Jughead's face just totally lit up and I can't help but want Charles to be good! Maybe all this time away from Chic can turn him into a good person! It's also high key hilarious that after last week when we were so sure that Archie and Betty were going to become a thing, the show shut it down this week and that's beyond hysterical just based on the response the poor writers and cast got last week from angry fans so part of me is like why even do this whole storyline if it's not going to go anywhere and the rest of me is like I hope you feel shame fans who took this whole thing too far. But actually on a more serious note I did love that Cheryl called out Betty's feelings for Archie as nothing more than a fantasy and that Betty never really loved Archie but the idea of him and that Jughead was the one she was destined for cause personally that's how I view the whole thing. Veronica and Cheryl cancelled their rum business and Veronica decided to rejoin the family business thinking that Hiram has finally changed but as we know that's not true so that's awkward. I still wonder what Jughead's college plans are cause it feels like other than him we know where everyone else in Riverdale is going. Betty to Yale, Archie to the navy, Veronica to that school in NY, and now we know that Fangs is going to Pitt while Kevin is going to Carnegie Mellon so I'm wondering if Jughead is planning to go to college or if he'll like go to Quantico and become an FBI agent or stay in Riverdale and take FP's place as Sheriff.  

The season finale for this shortened season of Riverdale is next week and it looks like everyone figures out that Honey is shady but I really doubt that they'll actually kill him!

Harley Quinn Season 2 Episode 5

This episode was super strange cause it didn't follow the normal procedure for a Harley Quinn episode cause not only was Harley not even in this episode but we had this hysterical scene at the top and bottom of the episode that broke the fourth wall and left me wondering what on Earth was going on. Now having said all that I hope it didn't come across as me complaining cause actually I really loved how unique this episode was and this world's version of Batman/Bruce Wayne is hilarious as is Alfred who I think we met for the first time in this show this week. Bruce woke up from his coma and wanted to get back out there on the streets partially cause he wanted to help and mostly cause his ego was shot at the sight of other heroes but most importantly Batgirl. It ended in disaster with Bane actually breaking Batman's legs and his back I'm assuming in a homage to the comics and ultimately Batman realized that he couldn't be out in the field just yet but he did give his stamp of approval to Batgirl and got her to work with Jim. I still wonder where Robin is supposed to be but I guess he'd be in Jump City with the Titans cause last we heard he was a Titan. Bane and Two Face are the only villains left on the streets of Gotham and they decided to team up though poor Bane was basically tricked into thinking that he was more than a henchman for Two Face and in the end it was so funny to see Two Face give him a Pit.

What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

Hello everyone and welcome back! It's a bit of a slow week cause of Coronavirus stuff but as long as there's at least one show on air, I'll be here! So let's dive right in shall we?

FINISHED 7 Seeds Season 2

As I sat down to write the review for this season of 7 Seeds, I realized that I never actually wrote a review for the first season which is totally awkward. In case you don't know this is a post-apocalyptic show where the Earth was destroyed but several groups of people were put into stasis and awoken after the Earth was livable again and there's all sorts of secrets that come out and questions about who's good and who's not. I actually really liked this season a lot more than the first and that's mostly cause I find that my favorite characters in this show are actually the ones from Summer B so with last season focusing on Spring and Autumn and Summer A, we spent almost this whole season with Summer B! I low key had to take a second to remember everything that happened in the previous season but luckily with the exile of Ango and Ryo from camp we were able to get a pretty solid recap. It was super weird how much of this season was focused on redeeming those two and like part of me wanted to fall for it but the rest of me was like while I can forgive Ryo for the murders he committed, I can't excuse Ango who really is a bad guy no matter how much brainwashing he went through cause he tried to rape Hana and that's a step too far for me. It was especially weird that the show was trying to get me to ship him with Natsu and I'm just like can we please not? Having said that I did think that it was sweet that it was the reject group of misfits that ended up showing these two military men what living was really like. I really enjoyed Natsu's development through this season too cause she went from someone who was super shy and scared all the time to someone who tried to help whenever she could and I hardcore ship her with Semimaru too. The whole arc in the ship was really interesting and I thought the way it ended was super creative but more importantly that everyone made it out alive and we were even able to get our ship up and running again!

I'm assuming that since it took almost a year between the first and second season that it'll be another year before we get the next one but whenever it comes out, I'll be here!

FINISHED ID: Invaded Episode 13

The finale for this show aired this week and I'm low key sad that this show is ending cause it's been so much fun to watch but at the same time, the story feels like it's come to a natural end and other than maybe one thing, it doesn't feel like anything is left for another season unlike most of the anime I've been watching this winter! I really enjoyed the way Sakaido and Hondoumachi outwitted the Chief and got him stuck reliving his death over and over again in Fukada's well with no way out. With Fukada dead and the eject button destroyed, there's no way for the Chief to leave and honestly he deserves this horrible eternity for all he did. The weirdest part of this whole thing was the reveal that Kiki didn't mean to put the whole police building into wells and that she wasn't working with the Chief or brainwashed which leaves me to wonder why it took Momoki talking to her for her to realize that she did wrong. On another note, it does super suck that poor Kiki has to go back into the Mizuhanome cause it's like either she does that or it's death or maybe a medically induced coma and of all the options at least as the brain of the Mizuhanome she has some sort of cognition cause Kaeru had been trying to help the brilliant detectives when she could. I do kinda wish that the show would have shown us that the wells changed with Kiki now consenting to being the brain of the Mizuhanome but I guess maybe that's a step too far for this technology? I do love that Hondoumachi and Sakaido became friends of a sort and that they work together to solve crimes now. 

Batwoman Season 1 Episode 16

It was going to be hard for this show to follow up on last week's incredible episode and while at first I found myself struggling with balancing what I wanted the show to give me and what the show did, about halfway through the episode, I was all the way on board with what the show was giving me. Kate turning to Alice and helping her get Mouse out of Arkham worried me a little cause I was afraid that she wouldn't know how to deal with what happened with Cartwright which is why the twist near the end where we find out that she had been playing Alice with Jacob's help shocked me. I do wonder who's after Alice though and if it's connected to everything else that was going on with Lucius Fox's death and the clear attempt at a cover-up. Speaking of, I am super into this idea cause from the start I had been thinking that it was totally crazy of this show to not want to milk the drama that comes from a major Batman character's death and the hunt for his killer so the fact that Reggie was set up and that something big is going on is everything. I mean if the case is big enough to call for hits out on the leader and the second-in-command of the Crows, Batwoman might have found her next Big Bad! In other news, I was thrilled beyond measure that Julia Pennyworth was back cause I absolutely adored her when she first appeared and I ship her with Kate so much more than I ship Kate with Sophie for so many reasons starting with the fact that Kate feels comfortable enough to tell her everything. I was so relieved when Kate opened up and told Julia about Cartwright and Alice cause she needed someone to listen and to tell her that she's not Alice. Though they did end up kissing at the end, I have a feeling it was more of a spur of the moment type of thing than real feelings stirring which does suck a little but I'm hoping that once the door is pushed open a crack that it'll be easier to fall through it especially since it seems like Julia might be sticking around. 

We didn't get a promo for next week after this episode aired cause it'll be taking a break until April 26th so I'll see you all then!

The Magicians Season 5 Episode 12

Now that we're here at the penultimate episode before the series finale, I'm totally crushed cause I want like a hundred more seasons of this show! Having said that this was an awesome episode and it was very smart of the show to leave the heist until tonight so that the last two weeks will be action packed and no one will feel let down! The Couple ended up wanting the World Seed cause they wanted to build a family but with everyone hating them in this world they wanted to start their lives in a whole new one and once again I'm brought back to why not work with our crew and ask if they could live in this new Fillory unless it's all a lie and they want power alongside a baby which I could buy. It was funny that they ended up being not as badass as I thought they were at the start or maybe we're supposed to assume that as a crew our heroes are stronger together and the only reason Alice and Kady failed so hard earlier is cause they were separated from everyone. I did love the reasoning behind having the musical episode and it's really funny cause I never feel like there's enough singing from Kady when she's clearly the best singer in the cast! I also really loved everything we got with Penny but his mom was totally awful for not wanting to help cause even if she was scared, wouldn't she want what was best for Penny being his mother and all? Low key I also don't entirely understand why the whole mother-child psychic bond is a terrible thing cause it's like psychics lives perfectly normal lives and there are ways to block the psychic powers they have so why can't Julia do that or even live with it normally? On another note we sent Fogg 17 to the same place our Fogg is and I wonder if this is how our Fogg will come back cause if the realm needs a Fogg, why not Fogg 17 over Fogg 40?

Next week is the finale and I'm interested to see how we'll wrap up all our storylines. We have to build a new Fillory, transport all of our current Fillory to the ark without bringing Rupert, destroy Fillory and then move all the Fillorians to the new Fillory all while making sure the Couple or Rupert don't stop us. I'm also sure that Julia will end up giving birth and we've obviously gotta break the mother-child golden bond too!

What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

ID: Invaded Episode 12

What an insane penultimate episode! Like I thought last week, there was no way the Chief would be arrested quietly and I was really curious about what his plan would be but it seems like he had somehow hoped to be the best brilliant detective in the world by making the whole police building a Mizuhanome. I assume that he would lead the charge with his ability to move through any id well that he wants with how connected he's been to Kiki's mind but I'm not entirely sure how that would work. Can he jump into the wells of people not in this building or do they need to bring the criminals here? The first option would make sense in terms of his convictions about having a sense of justice cause then he could find every serial killer in the world and stop them before they even do anything. I'm also really confused about why Kiki is helping him. Is she so far gone that she really has no brain of her own? I did think it was super creative to have the fight be in the id wells with Hondoumachi and Sakaido leading the charge but also to have Momoki and Hondoumachi's ex partner work to stop Kiki. I wonder if Sakaido and Hondoumachi would be able to find the other cops cause if Fukada could hop around wells with them while he was just himself then they could too right? Speaking of Fukada, anyone else low key love the strange relationship between Hondoumachi and Fukada? I keep getting these odd romantic tones between them but maybe that's just the shipper in me cause it would be damn weird if the serial killer who tried to kill Hondoumachi ended up being the man she loved in the end. I do think however that we're supposed to see that they're two sides of the same coin and I do love that.

Batwoman Season 1 Episode 15

Watching this episode of Batwoman I was stunned with how good it was. I mean when I think back to how cheesy and strange the first few episodes of this show were and even what insanity Supergirl is right now, I'm honestly so proud of this show for what it has become. It's just as dark as I would have expected a live-action Batman show to be and though I still wish that more of the Batman universe was evident in this show, I do adore the writing and where this show is going. I mean Kate really killed someone this week and though it was accidental and partially his fault too for having cut his own throat, it's going to haunt her for a while. I can't imagine that this will do anything more than push Kate into Alice's arms but I do hope that Jacob doesn't turn on Kate cause he himself was ready to kill August when he found him cause Kate needs the support from him. It was interesting paralleling how Kate and Alice both committed their first murders after finding out what the Cartwright family did to their mother but it really just strengthens how insane that family was. I keep hoping that something will snap Alice back to who she was before all this or hoping that something that Kate or Jacob do will make her want to be better but maybe it's too early in the season for that cause if that would happen it would be a season finale type moment. I did enjoy Jacob and Kate working together though cause it's something I really wanted from this show and we're also clearly moving forward in the Mary and Luke relationship which I'm loving how much of a slow burn it is and that we're not going from 0 to 100.

Next week's promo looks crazy in that Alice wants to break Mouse out of Arkham and she not only asks Kate for help but Kate agrees and I'm like well I guess Kate's going to be going on a downward spiral.

The Flash Season 6 Episode 15

I don't know if this week's episode was truly as emotional as it was or if I was in a sad mood after watching Batwoman just before this but either way I teared up multiple times during this episode. As it turned out we still have no idea why Eobard is considered to be a Wells and is latching onto Nash like the other multiverse of Wells or why only the Wells of the multiverse are combining and not any other doppelgängers. Ironically the characters themselves brought this up only to be like you know what who really cares about the why. He was planning on taking over Nash's body through Nash's pain but after Nash finally confronted what happened with Maya and how she died, he was able to dispel Eobard from his body though Eobard is still not actually dead. With the idea that he's now searching the world for a new body to enter, I have a feeling that a future season will have Eobard return as the Big Bad only in a different body so Team Flash will have no idea what's happening until it's too late. I do wish though that if we had to have picked one Wells to live on, it would have been Harry and with the multiverse collapsing, it feels like we'll permanently have Nash which low key sucks. In other news every week I get more and more exasperated with Eva cause I just want to know what her evil plan is! I do have a feeling that it has something to do with hurting her husband cause I'm sure she's furious that he gave up on her but if that's the case then why does she need to trap our heroes and replace their bodies? She should know that they want to take him down too and it's like the enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that! It's also super annoying that people aren't picking up that Mirror Iris is not Iris which really should make Iris feel terribly cause it's like the people that love her the most can't tell that something's not right!

We're taking a few weeks off so the next episode of Flash will be airing on April 21st which is the struggle cause the promo looks pretty good. It seems like Barry is running out of speed and Mirror Iris was told to drain the rest but I have a feeling that even if Barry does run out that he'll be able to build his own Speed Force by the end of the episode.

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 8

This was a bittersweet episode of Legends cause despite how hilarious it was, it was also the last episode that would have Ray and Nora in it. The Legends went to Shakespearean London in order to find the first piece of the Loom Of Fate which ironically are in the form of rings and I'm hardcore starting to worry that the Loom is going to be as big of a Mcguffin as the Spear Of Destiny was. I also have a feeling that the demon that Astra is working with will end up being one of the Fates cause not only did she seem to be a little too interested in what Constantine was working on but in Greek mythology the Fates are usually found in the Underworld and with Charlie having come from Hell last season, I can see the other Fates being down there. From a meta standpoint, it'll also be more impactful if the Fates are people we already met. Beyond that the main thrust of the episode had to do with Ray and Nora deciding that they wanted to start their new lives off of the Waverider and Ray's inability to tell Nate that he was leaving cause it was too hard. It was totally hilarious that the show decided to mirror Ray and Nate's final goodbyes back to back with Zari and Constantine acting out Romeo and Juliet but it was also totally sad to see how distraught the guys were. I do think this was a lovely sendoff for Ray despite all the behind-the-scenes stuff cause at least we know that Ray will be living happily ever after unlike so many of the other cast members we lost over the seasons. Mick was also struggling with the idea of having a daughter but I think with Mona telling him that she was better off after having met him that he'll go back and try to reach out again. Also as a sidebar I totally want to shout out Zari and Constantine for totally getting into their acting during the play cause for a whole minute there I was like wait do these two have more chemistry than Nate and Zari?

The next episode of Legends will be airing on April 21st which super sucks cause Legends has already finished filming this season so we shouldn't be getting a break like the other Arrowverse shows! The promo wasn't very helpful though cause it seemed to be a mashup of the rest of the season rather than the next episode but the title seems to suggest that it'll be a Zari episode which you all know that I'm super down for!

The Magicians Season 5 Episode 11

With this being the 3rd to last episode of this show, it seems we're in the endgame now! I'm still high key heartbroken that this show had to come to an end cause there's nothing else on tv like this right now (though Legends makes me just as happy with it's kookiness.) I'm also still a little worried that with the cancellation order coming after this season was already done that the final episode might end on a cliffhanger but that's a problem for another day. We were back on Earth this week with everyone deciding that the only way to stop Rupert and the Takers would be to move all of the Fillorians onto one of Umber's miniature pocket dimensions and destroy Fillory after which they use the World Seed to create a new Fillory. Fen was really against this and low key I think it's a ridiculous plan too but after watching our crew literally move the moon, I have faith that this might actually happen! The most interesting part in all this was that the Questing Pig that visited Julia revealed to us that we were the Apocalypse after all so in a way him showing up to warn of the end was what led to it in a very Greek tragedy sort of way. Hymen came back to life, Margo and Josh are together again, and we found out that Marina was after the World Seed too so she ended up helping Alice and Kady get the heist book she made to steal from the Couple. What's worse is that the Couple got Dean Fogg from the other timeline to help them steal the magic casting dials so now they have everything they need to use the World Seed. It does suck that we don't know what the Couple wants cause it's like what are the chances that we can go to them and be like can you make a new Fillory instead of whatever planet you want to make? I do have to admit that my favorite scene in the whole episode was definitely the one with Penny 23 and Julia when he told her the story of how his mother lost her mind because of him being born with magic and how scared he was that Julia would end up the same way. It was absolutely heartbreaking and I ship these two so hard!

As I mentioned next week is the penultimate episode and it looks like it'll not only be the heist which are always great but it'll also be the musical episode which is even more awesome!!
