What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

Hello everyone and welcome back! It's another 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?

Tower Of God Episode 1

I went into this anime having literally no idea what it would be about other than having a faint idea that this was going to be a battle royale type of show that I assumed was going to be taking place in a tower and though it feels like I was right about that, there's a lot I'm both confused and fascinated about. We were thrown into this world and what feels like the middle of the plot without any warning and it's got my brain all over the place cause we're left guessing about what's going on and where we are. It definitely doesn't look like we're in the modern world with the costuming for our characters but also with the way that Rachel talked about wanting to climb the Tower just to see the stars. Because of this, I'm going to assume that Rachel and Bam must live in some sort of underground world or maybe they are slaves and Rachel wants to use the Tower to leave her old world behind so until the show explains otherwise, that's what I'll be going with. The show is also interestingly more romantic than I thought with Bam's whole reason to climb the Tower being that he just wants to be with Rachel and it makes me wonder why the two couldn't have moved through the Tower together especially if Bam ended up going to the Tower as well. We also met a Princess and supposedly she's the Princess of the land where the Tower resides and I have a feeling that Bam will end up being related to her cause the way he sort of just appeared underground with amnesia and the fact that the sword that only the royals of this land can use worked for Bam has me questioning everything! I also want to shout out the character design in this drama cause it feels super unique but at the same time feels low key cheap and it makes me wonder if this show has a low budget or if we're saving money for the future battles and how that will look!

FINISHED The Magicians Season 5 Episode 12

I'm heartbroken that this show has come to an end but honestly I really did enjoy this finale and how it managed to wrap up every storyline though some did feel a bit rushed and kinda like they were built up to be bigger and ended up not mattering so much. Rupert found out that it wasn't Lance that had been calling for him from the Underworld but that it was actually Martin aka his brother aka the Beast. He ended up killing poor Zelda but died again when Fillory exploded and this was the one thing that I didn't love cause Hades made it sound like the dead coming back would be a huge thing but if they all died in Fillory after the Library shut down it's portals does that mean it's over? No more dead coming to any world? It was nice of the show to make Rupert end up in the weird in between place that Jane ended up so at least he got somewhat of a happy ending even if it's debatable if he deserved one. I also really liked the idea of Fogg basically saving the day (did I or did I not call in last week that our Fogg would traded for the other one??) because Plum set up a time loop and in the end Alice and Kady and Fen survived the Beast while Julia and baby Hope Quentin lived. It does suck that Penny didn't get his powers back but at least by tethering the magical umbilical cord to him, he has his powers when he's holding HQ. Margo, Fen, Alice, and Josh were able to build New Fillory and though they're stuck on it with the show ending, I'm sure Penny and Julia will find them eventually. Eliot became a Professor at Brakebills which is hilarious and he might have ended up with Charleton which I was totally all for ever since Charleton took over Hymen's body. I'm seriously going to miss this show and I don't know if there ever will be another one like this!

Harley Quinn Season 2 Episode 1

I was actually really surprised that the second season of Harley Quinn started airing this week cause it feels like the fastest turnaround on a show I've ever seen! Part of me is glad cause this show is just so bonkers but another part of me wishes that shows like Young Justice could be this quick! We're officially in No Man's Land this season and it looks like after Harley destroyed the whole Legion of Doom, the only villains left in Gotham are some of Batman's Rogues: Penguin, Two-Face, Riddler, Mr Freeze and Bane. The Justice League is still stuck in the book from last season and Batman was MIA after being trapped in Joker's Tower when it fell. In the end we did see that Bruce is okay (obviously) but super injured and in a coma which is why he hasn't been around. One of the funniest moments of the episode was definitely when Jim was trying to call Batman and little Damian showed up in Batman's suit like I'll be Batman for the world. It does make me wonder if there's no Dick in this world cause usually it's Dick who takes over for Batman when he's away in the comics but that also might just be the fangirl in me who adores Dick Grayson. It also does look like the overarching plot of this season will end up being Harley taking down each of the Injustice League and she's already taken out Penguin whose death shocked me even though I should totally be used to all the death in this show by now! Also where was Kiteman??

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!!

What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

FINISHED Welcome To Demon School Iruma-Kun Episode 23

Ah well as I expected last week this series finale (or maybe season finale based on the cliffhanger we left on) didn't actually wrap up the whole story but just this arc of Iruma finally accepting that he likes living in the Netherworld and doesn't want to return to being a human on Earth. Having said that it was pretty nice seeing Iruma doing well at Babyls and how much he's loved by the others cause it totally reminds me of when he first showed up and was so terrified and shocked by everything he was experiencing. I died when he realized how much he was fitting in here in the Netherworld and tbh I really did expect him to at least talk to the Demon Border Patrol about wanting to stay here but maybe cause he doesn't go to search for him that it'll be obvious that Iruma doesn't want to leave? It was sweet of Azz and Clara to want to make food for Iruma thinking that he needed cheering up and Clara's family will never not be completely hilarious. I am a little disappointed that we never saw her father or why he was so important as to not get featured in the earlier episodes but the same goes for how we didn't get to see Iruma become the Demon King. The button at the end of the episode seemed to be more of a teaser for another season to come and it just makes me want to see it now!

ID: Invaded Episode 11

I am honestly so proud of myself for guessing everything correctly despite spending so much time being confused about what was happening in this show! We finally figured out who John Walker was through Hondoumachi's and Sakaido's detective work and it turned out to be the Chief like I guessed weeks ago. I do have to applaud the show though cause for a second I did wonder if it was Hondoumachi's ex-partner for grabbing the wrong cognition particles at Momoki's house but in the end he was a pawn like the others. I also guessed correctly that poor Kiki was being used as a battery of some sort for the Mizuhanome but I was wrong about her being the reason for cognition particles existing. They must have always been around but before Kiki there was no way to access or use them. I don't know if I entirely understood what was going on in terms of Hondoumachi figuring out the Chief's murder technique but it had to do with an obsession with the number 7 and playing God. To no one's surprise Sakaido as it turned out was also a victim of John Walker playing around in his mind and I guess that Kiki well inside Sakaido's ID well must be physical proof of John Walker having been rummaging around. I wonder if they went back into Fukada's ID well if they'd find a Kiki well now too. I'm also really curious to know how this show is going to end cause the finale is in two weeks and it honestly it might just feel too easy if we're able to arrest the Chief next week. I could see him grabbing Kiki and disappearing with everyone left to flounder now that they don't have the Mizuhanome anymore but that feels like too sad of an ending and poor Kiki!

Batwoman Season 1 Episode 14

I'm really not a Sophie and Kate shipper so I expected to be bored throughout a large chunk of this episode but honestly other than their parts, I ended up enjoying this episode a bunch! After finding out that Kate was Batwoman last week, Mary spent the episode basically hinting to Kate that she'd love to help her and I just wanted to give her the biggest hug cause she's adorable. I honestly would have just blurted it out at some point like I know who you are especially since both Batwoman and Kate came to her on two separate occasions to ask for help. Honestly though it even hurts me every time Mary is told that she and Kate aren't as close she believes they are and I wish that Kate would be better! Alice also struggled with what to do about Mouse's dad cause though she knows where he is and who he is, a part of her was reverting back to the child she was when she went through all that abuse but I was truly horrified to find out that he was pumping Mouse with fear toxin to really destroy his relationship with Alice! I know I'm supposed to dislike Mouse and Alice but half the time when I look at them I just see the kids they were. Sophie and Batwoman decided that dating would not be the best move but it did give Sophie the courage to come out to her mom and my heart broke for her when her mom told her that she was disappointed. It made me wish that Kate would interact more with her own father cause despite everything he loves her just the way she is and I feel like the show doesn't give him nearly enough to do! Why does Supergirl get all the sisterly moments and Flash the father/child ones?? 

Oooh it looks like the next episode is going to be full of Jacob and Kate moments like I was begging this show to give me! With Mouse being under the fear toxin it looks like he'll be attacking Alice and putting her under the fear toxin too so when Jacob and Kate rescue her, maybe she'll be a different person?

The Flash Season 6 Episode 14

My baby Wally was back but I'm heartbroken that it was only for one episode! I do always find it creative how the writers of this show write their own stories but add dashes of flavor from the comics especially in the case of Wally. I still think that he was waaay underused and though part of that I can't blame on the show cause it was Keiynan himself who wanted to leave to focus on his music, the other part of me thinks that the seasons that he was on, he wasn't used the way he should which is why it's funny to me that he's become this complete badass with an even better understanding of the Speed Force than Barry himself offscreen in a way to homage his comic book persona. I really like that he's able to meditate his consciousness and see futures and stuff and I even think the way he uses his powers is more unique than Barry's. It was interesting that he came back to talk to Barry about the Speed Force dying and that it did actually die in this episode but with Barry planning on remaking his own Speed Force, I wonder if he'll share it with Wally. More importantly I'm curious to know if that artificial Speed Force would replace the Speed Force in this show or whether we'll do with Caitlin and Cisco offered and figure out a way to remove the Spectre's energy from the Speed Force. Meanwhile Nash was taken over by Eobard and it was super strange cause now Eobard is like more murder happy than I've ever seen him cause despite how much he's wanted to kill Barry, I don't think I've ever heard him talk about slitting his throat like that. I still don't understand what's going on with the Wellses of the multiverse or why they're all here and hovering around Nash but hopefully we'll figure that out soon. In other news Kamila figured out that Mirror Iris is not real Iris but was shot with the Mirror Gun before she could say anything and seriously I've totally forgotten how it works! She's not like dead is she?? As a sidebar I loved that it was Wally to warn Joe about Iris being different cause with how emphatic and zen he is now, of course he would be able to sense something off.

For a second when Eobard mentioned his anti-Speed Force I had the thought that maybe at some point Barry would get so desperate that he might reach out and use it like Nora did but now it looks like he might go another villain route and use speed steroids like the Velocity mixtures in order to boost his speed which is going to be totally fun!

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 7

This was a much heavier episode than I expected to watch based on the promo but honestly that's such a good thing cause though a lot of the episode was funny, the whole father/daughter thing was super emotional! Damien Darkh was our Encore of the week and he arrived just as Ray was planning on proposing to Nora which caused her to freak out and try to show Damien the life she thought he would want for her with Constantine as her boyfriend and Sara and Ava as her henchwomen. It was absolutely hilarious and ended with Nora's charge Pippa wishing them all into a parody of Mr Roger's Neighborhood so that they could all talk out their feelings. Damien accepted Nora as who she was now and gave his blessings for Ray and Nora to get married which they did and ended up using the Hell Sword to kill himself and I seriously could not remember if the Sword sent you back to hell or destroyed your essence completely! Ava and Sara fought about how Sara had been offered a job offer in Star City from Wild Dog who I'm assuming is Rene as maybe his bodyguard or something cause last I checked there's only one Wild Dog I know and he was running for mayor in Star City now. Meanwhile Constantine was trying to get Charlie to help him with the Loom of Fate but she was really against it until Constantine brought up the idea that if her sisters got to it first they would use it again while if they did it, they'd save Astra and then he'd help her destroy it for good which she agreed to. In a completely separate storyline we found out that Mick actually had a daughter with that woman he slept with a few episodes back when he went to look for the person who was trolling Rebecca Silver with Zari only to freak out and wipe their memories of his arrival cause he thought that they were better off without him. 

Next week looks hilarious again and based on what I can gather it looks like maybe the girls decide to take a break or have a girls night with Mona joining in so the boys have to deal with something around Shakespeare's era and ruin his works so the girls have to go back and fix it! I'm super pumped cause I always love the episodes when the girls have to clean up after the boys!

Riverdale Season 4 Episode 16

I actually really really enjoyed this episode of Riverdale but you know I'm always a sucker for whodunnit stories and this episode was the closest we've ever gotten to a real murder mystery other than the first season with Jason. There's just something so fun about the reveal where the detectives get to sit the suspects down and go through what happened piece by piece! As it turned out the Baxter Brothers franchise was all about murder. In order to become the ghostwriter you needed to prove that you commit the perfect murder and while at first it was Moose who was brought to Stonewall to be the victim, eventually the target was shifted to Jughead which honestly was Stonewall's fatal flaw cause unlike Moose, Jughead is one of the most connected Riverdale kids. Donna as it turned out was the mastermind to no one's surprise but she did it cause it was her grandmother who was killed by Dupont in order to keep his secret about the Baxter Brothers a secret. Jughead was meant to be bait in order for Dupont to get his grandfather who was the last of the four who knew his secret but he didn't know that Jughead's grandfather would run after seeing Jughead rather than come out of hiding to help. In the end it was all very bittersweet cause not much changed. I mean Bret ended up handing back the sex tapes he filmed and possibly going to jail, Dupont is dead, Joan is fleeing the country, and Donna is free though she was blackmailed into not becoming the next Ghostwriter. It sucks though cause are we supposed to believe that Jughead lost his spot at Yale cause at the end it seems like he couldn't even graduate can he has to transfer back to Riverdale High? I mean I'd assume with Bret going to jail that Jughead would get his spot if Betty got his. 

Though we've got 6 episodes left to go for this season, it seems like Riverdale is taking a break for a month. The next episode we'll get is on April 15th and it will be the musical episode which kinda sucks but it's also super weird cause it feels like we've wrapped up our story so what's left but maybe Chic and Charles?

The Magicians Season 5 Episode 9

This show is getting crazier and crazier and I'm so so down! While Julia and Eliot are locked up, Julia finds out that because the baby's father is Penny 23 that he's a traveler and a psychic just like Penny was so when she was freaking out the baby was able to help her read minds so she and Eliot are able to get out of jail through the help of Julia traveling with the baby's help. Meanwhile we found out that the signal that was hurting Penny 23 and Plum was actually from another time traveler who basically was pissed that Plum became a time traveler and wanted to protect the timeline so he basically forced Plum to come here so that he could strip her of her powers. Penny 23 and Plum held strong at first but in the end she cracked and decided to get her time traveler powers stripped so that they could leave which sucks but at least she gets to keep her traveling power unlike poor Penny 23. Over in Fillory Rupert found Josh and sent him to the Taker world after which he ended up in the Underworld with Penny 40. As we learned the Takers are actually guard dogs for the Underworld to keep the dead from returning to the real world and from what Hades said if someone is able to get past all the Takers and tries to get someone back from the Underworld then the dead will overrun everywhere. I'm assuming that based on what we've seen that Rupert figured out a way to bring the Takers to Fillory and there he's been killing them one by one so that eventually all the Takers will be dead so he can waltz to the doorway and save Lance. 

Next week is all about the Gods again or so it seems. It looks like we run into either Ember or Umber (I can never tell them apart tbh) but they were both killed so either we find the Underworld for the Gods or it's some sort of time travel or vision thing. I'm also high key excited to see how Penny reacts to Julia cause I love them and while he thought that he was stuck for months, he was only gone for what probs amounts to a few days and this is a pretty big change!

What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

Hello everyone and welcome back! It's a bit of a slow week this time around but here we are anyway!

Welcome To Demon School Iruma-Kun Episode 22

I'm still oddly disappointed in this arc cause like I said last week, the finale for this show is going to air next week and I'm low key afraid that everything will be rushed so that this show can end. Having said that there were a lot of hilarious and sweet moments this week. I loved that Iruma, Azz and Clara had to pretend to be the opening act on stage in order to cover for Keroli who had used too much of her ice powers when she was angry with Iruma last week and that inadvertently Iruma still ended up taking more of the attention than Keroli with both newspaper space and her fans. Despite that though it was sweet that Keroli and Iruma are not friends and that she realized that though Iruma doesn't want to stand out, he does when it helps his friends. The best moment of the episode though was when Keroli's family came to help her and it became clear that her family loves her and that they've only been so cold cause they need to be otherwise they will overheat but that doesn't mean they ever stopped supporting her or loving her. I do wish Keroli had a moment with them but I liked the message overall anyway. As I mentioned up top, next week is the finale for this show and I'll be curious to see whether it wraps up the whole story or if more likely will just be a low-stakes episode hinting to us what the future could be in a way to be like hey you've only seen a small snapshot of Iruma's life not his whole story.

ID: Invaded Episode 10

I honestly feel like I'm too dumb for this show most of the time cause until I pretty much start to write this review I'm just sitting around like what huh what. Somehow the well that the cops thought was Momoki's was actually Sakaido's but if that's the case I'm so utterly confused cause how can Sakaido even enter his own well? It's also really different somehow cause instead of the lightning world, it's a desert but the stranger part is that Fukada knew all along and he is either working with John Walker or just really wants to screw with Sakaido cause the minute a brilliant detective figures out who he is outside of the well, the id well destroys him. I do wonder if the fact that Sakaido's in his own well will mean that he can find Hondoumachi and not only help her get out of Kiki's well but get her to help him. I was honestly so excited when the two finally met in Kiki's well in a well but time really does work differently cause while Sakaido had gone in later than Hondoumachi, he was there for a year while she was there for 20 minutes. It sucks that we didn't get much from them but I think we somehow experienced the past through Sakaido with some twists that he wished would have happened. Maybe the whole idea of cognitive particles only happened cause Kiki became one with the world as she was afraid would happen? We definitely know that she was the basis for the Mizuhanome cause Shirakoma who was the creator (and died later being left in Momoki's yard) was researching Kiki before she disappeared. Now what this all means I'm not entirely sure yet but I'm really curious to see where this show ends.

Riverdale Season 4 Episode 15

Well did I call it or what? There was no way that this show killed off Jughead and as we found out this week, Jughead faked his death in order to finally take down the Stonewall Prep kids and half of the main cast know the truth. I expected it to really just go as far as the main trio and maybe FP but we learned that Charles, Jellybean, Mary, and now Alice all know. It totally explains why no one really seemed to be mourning Jughead other than a few choice tears here and there and why everything with Archie and Betty kissing felt so weird and out-of-place. Speaking of, I could totally see this fake kiss as a way to bring Archie and Betty back into each other so that the couples could be shaken up next season but idk if the show would go there cause I feel like Riverdale has moved so far past the typical high school show with revolving couples like Gossip Girl. Jughead being alive also explained why one minute FP was arresting Betty for Jughead's murder on the tip from a girl that Jughead hated by the way and the next was allowing her to throw Jughead's wake. The most important part of all this was that FP was going to be fired from being Sheriff by Hiram so he quit and if I had to guess this is how FP will be written off of the show cause we know that Skeet Ulrich is leaving the show next season. I really don't know what this whole faking his death thing accomplished cause from where I'm sitting it doesn't look like the core four gathered any new info other than whoever Donna really is but that was done by Hermosa on behalf of Veronica who didn't need Jughead dead to do so.

I was wondering if maybe revealing the truth on Alice's documentary was maybe a way that the Stonewall kids would figure out the truth but the promo for next week shows us that Jughead reveals himself as being alive next week and I really don't know if whatever he figured out will really take down the Stonewall kids cause we still have a bunch more episodes to fill.

The Magicians Season 5 Episode 8

I just found out that The Magicians is being cancelled after this season so when we say that there's only four episodes left of the season, there's actually only four episodes left in this series and I'll be curious to know if the season finale can act as a series finale as well. It's bittersweet cause while part of me thinks that The Magicians isn't the same without Quentin, the rest of me is going to miss this crazy show. We finally learned more about The Dark King this week with the reveal that he's actually Rupert Chatwin aka Jane and Michael's brother and that he's been asleep for years only to awaken once magic was reborn last season. As it turns out the trees in Fillory are all intertwined so when our crew chopped down Rupert's tree last week, they couldn't sever his link to Fillory and as they find out, he can only die if Fillory dies. I suppose it's a very good thing that we've got a magic seed that can rebuild worlds now isn't it? Rupert's main goal is to bring back his lover Lance and he used Eliot's body as a conduit and I wonder if he's planning on moving Lance into Eliot's body. Poor Eliot has been possessed so much! Julia is also like super pregnant now so I guess her question on whether to keep the baby or not has been answered. It also sucks that she's stuck in Fillory and Penny 23 is on his own adventure so when they meet up Julia straight up might just have their baby to introduce to him! Speaking of, Penny 23 and Plum Chatwin learned that Plum could time travel and because of that they were stuck hopping from time to time only to end up stuck in the room that the Signal was coming from. I still don't know what this Signal is but maybe it's linked to Rupert somehow? Alice meanwhile found the Couple that she was looking for or actually he found her but again we don't know who or what it is yet.

The promo for next week actually kind of looked like a promo for the rest of the season with Julia talking about how she tried to help save the world but might have actually led to it's destruction and I'm over here like girl what else is new.

What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

Welcome To Demon School Iruma-Kun Episode 21

This was such a weird episode tbh cause it felt like such filler but at the same time it had important information in it that is needed to flesh out another supporting character in this show. I think the problem was the placement of this episode cause we just got out of a huge arc where the school was almost destroyed and now we've moved over to looking at a random background character's backstory! Having said that it was interesting to learn more about Keroli and why she always seemed to hate Iruma so much and yet was so timid about everything. As it turns out she's from a family of really magical demons but like Kiriwo her magic isn't as strong but she found that she was much cuter than the average demon so she found her place in the world after all and became a demon idol. She's apparently trying not to stand out at Babyls though she didn't exactly say why but is pissed at Iruma for continuously stealing the spotlight from her idol persona which is why the ending was hilarious cause Iruma was talking about how jealous he is that she was able not to stand out and he can't help but do even when he tries to hard not to. I do wonder if there's more to this arc or whether it really was meant to shade in this world some more. We've only got 2 more episodes to go until the finale and I haven't heard about another season for this show so I'm wondering if Iruma being human will ever be outed or if he'll become the Demon King or if the show will only hint at this possible future.

ID: Invaded Episode 9

Talk about being utterly confused about everything! Last we saw Sakaido entered Kiki's ID well from Momoki's supposed ID well but we were dropped into this strange world where not only did Sakaido remember everything about who he was and where he was but it was so different from most ID wells and it just gave me more questions than answers! It seems as though Kiki is manifested as Kaeru in the Mizuhanome and the real girl had this strange ability to broadcast her thoughts to other people and have other people enter her mind though dreams. This is totally freaky cause despite all the cool technology in this world I didn't think we were entering science fiction but here we are. I suppose we're supposed to believe that Kiki is the reason for the Mizuhanome system to exist at all and I bet you that she's actually somehow plugged into it as a conduit for the technology to work which is why she disappeared after being saved by Momoki from the Challenger and then after that the Mizuhanome was invented. It adds to my theory that the Chief of Police is John Walker cause John Walker seemed to be the first one to notice Kiki's strange quirk and use it to form other serial killers and if he ended up being the inventor of the Mizuhanome then that would make so much sense as to why she was Kaeru. I do wonder where Hondoumachi is in this world or whether she has her own separate from Sakaido's.

Batwoman Season 1 Episode 13

I said last week that the promo for this week felt totally fun and crazy and out of sync with what should have been the tone of this show after the death of Beth last week but oddly enough after watching this episode I found myself totally on board with everything in this episode. The vampire villain was totally fun to watch and much more interesting than any other weekly villain but it was totally insane that she was stealing blood in order to fix her medical condition cause it's like girl just go to a hospital! The best part of this whole thing was that it allowed Mary to finally find out the truth about Kate and how she's Batwoman and I'm super looking forward to what happens next. I still high key want Jacob to find out the truth cause like I've said before one of my favorite things about Batwoman in DC comics is the fact that Jacob knows and he tries to help her when he can. Sophie it seems is also back onto Kate's radar and I'm just so over that cause I really don't like Sophie and I don't like that she's so into Batwoman cause I'm never actually a fan of when superheroes hook up with their lovers without the lover knowing who they are under the mask. It was also interesting to note that after everything that happened last week, Jacob was set free but also Alice figured out pretty quickly that Mouse's dad is running around. I oddly expected more from Alice after Kate chose to let her die last week but it seemed like nothing really changed in Alice's mind though I do wonder if she's just playing Kate.

There's no Batwoman next week but the promo for two weeks from now doesn't show any Mary but it does show Batwoman and Sophie are basically dating and that makes me wonder what Sophie told Jacob cause he definitely gave her an ultimatum this week and I thought she had picked the Crows but maybe she picked Batwoman instead?

The Flash Season 6 Episode 13

This was a super fun episode of Flash cause it looked at more of the changes Crisis made on the world and I really enjoyed the small things like Barry not knowing that a certain road had become a train track or not knowing where his parents' graves were. I still think it's hilarious that Barry is supposed to be the one to build Gideon cause the dude has never done anything electronic during the course of this show but we saw him trying to make Gideon into a small earpiece tonight which I'm assuming is in response to the fact that most of Team Flash have their own things going on so they no longer are around to be on the coms. It led to the overall set up of this episode being that he was thrown back into the past in Grodd's mindscape and honestly maybe I'm a sucker but Grodd's whole plea for help really tugged on my heartstrings and I was like dude Barry help the poor thing! All he wants is to go home to Gorilla City and I loved how he helped Barry start seeing that he needs to look forward rather than backwards. Meanwhile Allegra finally figured out that Nash was her father in another universe and was super freaked out about it and when Nash tried to go explain himself he was stopped. I know the internet was joking about Nash might have all the multiverse of Harrison Wells inside of him but now it seems like that might actually be what's happening. I am really annoyed about the fact that Eobard seems to be in there too when it's like he's not a Wells! Idk why the show keeps forgetting that he actually killed the real Earth 1 Harrison Wells and stole his face. We also finally learned what was up with Mirror Iris and Eva and like I thought Eva is a bad guy after all though we don't know yet if she's working with Black Hole or an independent bad guy.  

It doesn't look like we'll be getting a new episode of the Flash next week which sucks super hardcore cause my baby Wally is coming back! It seems like something Barry did (probs during Crisis when Oliver opened up his powers) messed with the Speed Force and Wally is here to be like dude!

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 6

This was a mixed bag in terms of what emotions it brought out in me and in the show cause on the one hand we had all the humor of Genghis Khan and his scooter army but on the other we were dealing with Constantine's lung cancer. Let's start with the Constantine stuff cause that's what kept my attention more this week. With Astra speeding up his death last week, Constantine had 4 hours left to live and it was super weird cause like I said last week if she wanted him to die immediately why not speed his coin to zero? He tried to get Nora to fix his cancer but it didn't work and I'm not entirely sure why except that it would have ruined the plot of the episode cause like Constantine said if magic did it then magic should have fixed it. In the end though Astra changed her mind and decided to let Constantine try his plan with the Loom Of Fate and Charlie. Constantine's plan from what I can gather is to use the Loom in order to stop Natalie from dying so that none of what followed would happen and honestly I could totally see that being the finale for this season. It would give us enough time to worry about Charlie and her Fate sisters coming after her and find a way to stop the Encores permanently. Speaking of Charlie, I was totally right in guessing that she's probs one of the Fates that controlled the Loom which she told us herself! In other news apparently she and Behrad hooked up after the end of last season and it was hilarious to see Behrad struggle about what they were now. Even better was when Nate made a comment about how if Behrad was a woman he'd date her and Behrad was like um like my sister?

We're taking next week off so the promo that we saw is for two weeks from now which looks beyond hilarious and I'll be curious to see how everyone is stuck in a children's cartoon sitcom show. I have a feeling that it was somehow Nora granting a wish for her current child.

Riverdale Season 4 Episode 14

I really don't know what to think about what happening on this show cause I can't decide if Jughead is dead dead or not. I can't imagine that this show would kill off one of it's main characters like this but at the same time we saw Jughead's dead body. But if he is dead dead, I will be pissed about the reception to his death even more than his actual death. I mean seriously Jughead died and yet Betty, Archie and Veronica are showing as much emotion as a wall. Jughead was their best friend and the love of Betty's life and yet none of them even shed a tear? Archie's mom showed more sadness than any one of them! So from what it looks like Donna and Bret killed Jughead and they're trying to blame it on Betty cause they dosed her with some drug that made her lose consciousness and smeared Jughead's body with her DNA but I'm sitting here like um Betty is Jughead's girlfriend so even if they find Betty's button or hair on him, she can easily say that they were making out earlier or something. Ugh but seriously guys every time we look at Bret or Donna's smug faces I really want to punch them so hard. I mean they even went as far as calling Veronica's college and getting them to rescind her acceptance? Why don't they grow up and find something else to do? It's why I was living for Betty calling Donna out and being like I'm the daughter of the goddamn Black Hood so come at me bitch and see what happens. On another note I don't really love that Betty refuses to trust anyone but Charles with the truth cause we know that Charles isn't what he seems though I don't know if he's on Stonewall's side of if he's got some other scheme cooking. At least Archie talked to his mom about everything cause a lawyer is definitely going to be helpful.

Next week's promo shows that FP is going to be arresting Betty, Archie, and Veronica for Jughead's murder so we'll probs also get that flash forward scene where Donna and Bret finger them for his death. I wonder if the rest of the season is going to be about this or whether we'll figure out the truth earlier? I just really really really don't want Jughead to be dead dead.

The Magicians Season 5 Episode 8

Guys I loved this episode so much! I'm always super into when The Magicians goes crazy with it's plot points and just in this episode we had Margo and Eliot swapping bodies, a zombie fungal infection at Brakebills, and Julia finding out that she's pregnant. Let's start with the Brakebills stuff cause it was the least interesting of the three storylines. I'm still pissed that Alice's new love interest who's name I still don't know is sticking around like the mold no one wants (pun not intended) cause of course Quentin left a page with a plant on it cause how else would a botanist become important? I did like their talk about mourning and how long grief would last and the idea of spreading the fungus across multiple hosts was a good one though super creepy cause now half of Brakebills has a fungus in them. We also set up a new villain with The Couple and it's really making me curious why Quentin had this paper in the first place. Over in Fillory, Eliot may or may not have completely ruined Margo and Josh's relationship though I'd like to imagine that once Josh figured out that it was Eliot he was talking to and not Margo that he would give Margo another chance to talk. It's super strange that we're kind of sweeping Fen and Josh sleeping together under a rug and I really don't understand why Margo keeps claiming that she gave up on Josh when she was the one to keep trying over and over until she had no more chances to reach him in the past. Julia as we found out is pregnant but cause she's in Fillory, her pregnancy is speeding up so instead of the normal 9 months it'll be a lot less though we don't actually know how fast yet. She also was the one to kill Seb and at first that made me think that maybe he's not the real villain after all cause it's way too early in the season for the Big Bad to be killed but in the end he woke up and he's going to be even more furious so it must be him after all.

The promo for next week shows that Seb is going to be doing some sort of ritual on Eliot and I wonder if he's going to be making him into a Taker. It looks like we might be world hopping again but maybe Seb is going to send his soldiers after them to Earth too which would be interesting.

What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

Welcome To Demon School Iruma-Kun Episode 20

I actually really loved this week's episode cause it went back to the best form this show has when it embraces it's humor but at the same time adds such deep emotion. I love how much Iruma is happy here in the demon world cause he has friends and family who love him, and an amazing school where people know who he is unlike in the human world where his parents barely notice him and he has to work himself to the bone which is why he was so thrown off when Ameri's dad appeared ready to send him back to the human world the second Iruma mentions being uncomfortable. For some reason I really didn't expect it to be so simple tbh but I guess it makes sense cause we've never actually seen any of the demons hate humans or want to eat them. The best part of the episode though was definitely Ameri's dad having a full mental breakdown when he realized that Ameri might have a crush on Iruma and was growing up cause that's 100% any dad's worst nightmare and I was living. In other news Iruma did end up going up a rank after the Battler Party cause even though they didn't win the Grand Prize, the school decided since Iruma actually helped so much with Kiriwo that they deserved to be rewarded.

ID: Invaded Episode 8

This episode was pretty good though it didn't go the way I thought it would and it definitely left me with more questions than answers by the end. With Momoki arrested as being John Walker, Sakaido and Fukada were sent to enter his well and we spent the entire episode here rather than with Hondoumachi in Kiki's well but it makes sense cause Sakaido is also going into Kiki's well at the end of this episode. I'm honestly so excited by their hopeful meet up next week cause it's one of the things I was most looking forward to. What I'm confused about however is three things. The first of which is the fact that Momoki had a well to visit cause we were told that only killers have wells but I suppose that it's possible that Momoki has killed as a cop before. The second thing is why his well has Kiki's well in it too but that goes back to the fact that I don't understand why those wells are there and what they mean. The third thing is why Momoki freaked out at the end about Sakaido and Fukada being in his well and why he thought it was a trap. I still don't think that Momoki is John Walker and the odds are that he's been framed so I wonder if the cognitive particles they found actually belong to the real John Walker and not Momoki himself which is why Momoki panicked when he realized that his friend would be walking into a possible trap. It would explain a lot of the other things I was confused about if the well wasn't Momoki's! I also had the thought as I watched this episode how fascinating it is that Sakaido is so kind in the wells compared to Hondoumachi who's so cold when in real life they're the opposites. It makes me really wonder what these id well personas are.

Batwoman Season 1 Episode 12

I AM FURIOUS WITH THIS EPISODE! How could it play with my emotions like this??? I mean part of me knew that no matter what it had to be Alice not Beth that survived cause duh Alice would lead to more drama for this show but that didn't stop my heart from wishing it would be Beth anyway! Also did I or did I not call it that Beth would be killed for looking like Alice though I totally expected it to be Sophie who did it but instead it was Mouse's father who was pissed that Alice stole his son away? I still don't entirely know why Kate couldn't have called Sophie and been like yo Alice is chained to a bed in Mary's clinic so that the Crows would leave Wayne Tower and Beth could be safe. I also don't know why Beth and Luke couldn't stay in the Batcave cause dudes if it was that easy for the Crows to get in then Batman would be an idiot which is besides the point cause if they're so worried that the Crows will find Beth in the Batcave then wouldn't they also literally find the Batcave and ruin Batwoman's secret identity? I do suppose that all this will just make Alice even more pissed at Kate and Jacob cause when push came to shove Kate picked Beth over Alice and if that doesn't kill the last piece of good in her, I don't know what will. It also high key sucks that with the only doctor who would help ending up being Mouse's dad that Jacob has lost his best chance at leaving. Also also I hate this story of no one believing that Mouse impersonated Jacob cause now we live in a world with aliens and metas so why is it so out of the realm of thought that someone could look like someone else? Kate needs to call J'onn! 

The promo for next week feels really weird cause it has nothing to do with Alice or Beth and Kate seems as upbeat as normal which she really shouldn't be after losing Beth. I do like the idea of a vampire as the villain of the week and if she's actually a meta I will be furious cause it just adds to my anger with this Jacob storyline.

The Flash Season 6 Episode 12

We finally met Sue Dearbon this week after having teased us about it for almost a full year! Though it gave us a real logical reason to have Ralph come and go off this show (unlike other characters who straight up just disappear for weeks on end) it also makes Ralph look like a bit of an idiot for having so much trouble hunting down one woman. At first I was going to be full of complaints like the show was being too heavy-handed with look how quirky™ Sue is and look at Cecile totally shipping them! Like dude show chill a little. But with the reveal that Sue was actually a thief and hunting down Black Hole I was all the way back on! Sue's actually a complete badass and we all know Sue and Ralph are married in the comics so the fact that the show is letting their relationship build more naturally is everything cause I worried that they would fall in love in this episode. I also really loved the Iris and Eva stuff we got even though I totally spent the whole time wondering if Eva was secretly evil cause I can't help but see new bad guys everywhere and though she ended up actually being nothing more than a traumatized woman stuck in a horrible situation, I have a feeling that her villain origin story is still coming. She's totally a revamped Mirror Master and I see more drama coming from if she was bad than good. I mean we still don't know what that mirror version of Iris living in the world is or where it came from but then again if Eva could make mirror copies I'm sure she would have made one of herself to keep her husband from moving on. 

The promo for next week was a totally mind trippy cause with Grodd and Harry and Danielle appearing as Caitlin it reminded me a lot of a season 2 episode of Flash. I do wonder how long it'll take Barry to realize that Iris isn't Iris but I'm also looking forward to finding out what's going on with Nash.

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 5

I loved this week's episode of Legends cause it was everything I missed last week. I loved seeing Zari and Ava work together to take down Marie Antoinette and seeing Ava see something more in Zari than the annoyance Ava thought she was and it was good of not only Ava but all the Legends to not bring down the hammer on Zari when she made the decision to use magic to fix her problems cause the Legends have done much worse. The way the episode ended with Ava and Zari becoming friends was amazing cause neither have had any for a while and it was just so sweet. I also loved the small moment Marie and Zari had where they bonded over who they were as people and who people saw them as cause I've always thought it was way harsh the way Marie was seen in history cause yeah she cared more about parties and having fun than the people but seriously every king and queen were like that across history so the fact that it was Marie that was focused on is a little unfair. I'm also super into Nate hardcore fan-girling over Zari in the background as she did her thing and when he punched Zari's current boyfriend I almost died of laughter. The Constantine story was also pretty interesting cause it gave more context into who he was as a person but it ended in the most horrific way. He can't be dead right cause that's totally messed up!! But I can't imagine that if Astra went through all that trouble to speed up his death that she would be like give him 3 months to live or something. I'm also really curious about Charlie and the Loom of Fate cause for a while I had been saying that Charlie was pointless as a character and now she's finally got something to do! I wonder if she's supposed to be one of those witches that run the Loom or whether they can use that to save Astra and now Constantine. 

Next week's promo shows us that the Encore we're chasing is Genghis Khan which is totally awesome and it looks like he might be thrown into modern day cause he's on scooters rather than horses which I'm sure will be hilarious.

The Magicians Season 5 Episode 7

I wasn't the biggest fan of this week's episode though there was still plenty of fun moments overall. As it turned out moving the moon last week changed the way magic worked in the world and like I was sitting here like duh you dummies though in this world it was more magical than shifting tectonic plates and the such. The moon apparently has feelings and was pissed at the humans for everything it went through which is why magic is all messed up on Earth now. Penny 23 was made Acting Dean with Dean Fogg's disappearance and when the crew called for help, Dean Fogg from timeline 17 showed up and he mostly just the villain of the week which we were able to take down. While this was happening Penny and Julia were fighting over her need to constantly save the world and his want to just relax and like I was totally on Julia's side in all this cause it's like Penny you're one of the idiots who live in this world so why are you like let's just let things happen and not help! Also Alice met a new guy and I'm really worried that he's going to be a love interest and I'm not about that literally at all! Over in Fillory we finally found out what's going on in this world. Though it was a plot of the Dark King's advisor to hunt down fairies, the Dark King isn't all that clean either. As we find out in the end, he's the one who's been making the Takers by sacrificing gold though I still have no idea what the Takers are supposed to be. At least it seems now like maybe killing him might stop the Takers and if that's the case, we can totally do it!

The promo for next week shows us that Eliot might actually go to the Dark King and be like I know what's up which seems like a real dumb move to show your hand early like that. I don't see Julia with the Fillory crew but I'm sure she'll show up cause while Alice and Penny are busy in Brakebills and Kady is helping the hedges, Julia was on her way.

FINISHED Harley Quinn Season 1 Episode 13

The season finale of Harley Quinn just aired and it was a crazy adventure that I'm not sure how or if we'll move on from! I mean talk about destroying the world before closing your show! After Ivy died Harley and her crew decided to team up with Batman to take down Joker but in an odd twist everyone was defeated in like three seconds and dudes I totally expected more from Batman! I also high key expected the Justice League to come back at some point especially with Fables dead but it looks like they're still stuck there and apparently they only consist of three people. The younger sidekicks were also missing and I don't just mean Robin cause we know based on an earlier episode that there is a Teen Titans team but I suppose I can let that all go cause this is a Harley Quinn show afterall and this whole season was leading up to this final confrontation between the two. And seriously what a confrontation it was! Joker realized after he got everything that he wanted that he actually wasn't all that happy afterall and it was because he didn't have Harley beside him. This was a fascinating twist cause I never really thought that Joker was in love with Harley (especially after the way he treated her all season) but of course in true Joker crazy fashion he decided that since he doesn't like having a weakness that he was going to turn her back into Harleen Quinzel and in a twist that literally everyone and their mother saw coming Ivy came back to life and saved the day cause she is the most OP of the characters on this show!
