57 Channels and Only This Is On: June 20, 2020

  

Fear the Walking Dead:  Oh wow, they actually set off the bombs, I just figured they would figure out a way to redirect them or at the very least they would turn out to be duds.  So is next season just them living in nuclear fallout?  Are they going to move up north?  Is there a place where they could go to avoid the blast?  Won’t the winds carry this to Virginia and affect the other show?  Although pretty laughable that nuclear bombs went off and only manage to kill one person.  Sure a couple other people died prior that may have been taken out by the bomb.  But just how do Morgan and Grace survive just by hiding under a truck?   The zombie had chemical burns.  At least jump in the car and shut the door with the dog. 

 

The Chi:  Well that was a pretty pathetic protest, just three people... and the principal left work early.  But hey, if he left early, why not everyone?  But Jake macking on Jemma was super-obvious, I knew that kiss was going to happen the moment when they ganged up on Kevin while discussing the protest.   At least they did not draw it out.  But how long until they tell Kevin?

 

Black Monday:  So Tiffany wanted Blair to let the world know her father was a monster.  But then did Blair not use that platform to do just that?  Just to gain political points?  That seems like a good way to get shot again.  Or was that casket dropping meant for him?

 

Cruel Summer: Well I got one major theory right with the gun being Annabelle and Kate used that to kill Martin. My Angela theory turned out very wrong (unless that is season two but the writers said that it could be a continuation of the story or they may turn the show into an anthology).  She turned out to be Guy Pierce (who I predicted to be the murderer) in Mare of Easttown, someone you would think would tie into the mystery just because they are part of the cast, but turned out to be just very insignificant.  But if this does turn into an anthology, Jeanette’s mom taking about her time back in high school with Kate’s mom could be interesting.  Maybe we can find out what really happened to Kate’s birth father.  And / or find out who Tennille’s real father is.

 

The Handmaid’s Tale:  Wait, so June facilitated an exchange for Fred, but did not even try to get Hannah to be part of the exchange?  I get from a story prospective you need something to motivate June next season, but at least ask.  And are the higher ups in Giliad going to be fine that they exchanged so many political prisoners for someone who died in custody?  I guess that is good for Serena because maybe they will be hesitant trying to trade her for anyone.    But where does Serena go next season?  Does she have to continue to give secrets to keep her and her child’s secrets?  Will she even trust the Americans?  Will she thank them for getting rid of Fred? 

 

But at least Fred was able to speak some truth on his way out, pointing out how gross the June and Nick coupling is.  What the fork is going on there.  June does not seem happy back with her husband, but Nick is the literal enemy.  Is she using him so he will help her to get Hannah back or does she truly love the guy who was forced to rape her.

 

The Bold Type:  I never particular liked this show, but the girl getting high this week was easily the best thing to ever happen on the show.

 

The Blacklist:  Oh, hey, I got another prediction right; Lizzy’s mom from last season was not really her mom.  Except, why not tell her she was an imposter.  Lizzy just blew up her life, figuratively, and literally tried to blow up Red, because of that lie.  But that was the only part of this episode I understood.  They have retconned Lizzy’s story so many times, it is hard to keep track of it.
