Dexter: New Blood:
There was a moment this episode where I thought to myself, is Dexter
going to kill the podcaster or is Kurt going to be the one. Kurt seemingly was going to try and it was
surprisingly Dexter who was the one who saved her. Dexter did get some vital information on the
ride home as he figured out it was not her that tipped Angela off to his real name. But will Dexter ever find out it was her daughter
via his son as to how that information got out.
But it
looks like Angela will not stay mad very as she now needs Dexter. My first thought it was for revenge after
finding her friend, but obviously she will want him to use his forensic
expertise despite telling her he killed Dexter to get away from that life. It
seems obvious to assume Kurt killed her and put her body there, but we only saw
Angela find the one body and clearly Kurt killed more. Plus that passageway seemed fairly tight for
the two relatively skinny lawmen and Kurt is a bit bigger. Though fifteen years ago, I guess Kurt could
have been a bit thinner and the reason why there was only the one body is Kurt
stopped skipping meals. But where are
the other bodies? It looked like he was
trying to preserve the one he shot through the eye.
Yellowjackets:
The episode critics received were named after nineties pop
culture moments (do not ask me why Showtime changed them to more generic titles
for the official release). This episode
was entitled “Blood Sugar Sex Magic” after the Red Hot Chili Peppers album. We got a lot of the first and second, not
much of the third. The fourth… well, that
is still debatable I guess. Obviously it
was Halloween, but just how real was the “magic” in the earlier timeline? Why would Shauna spin the knife in an
infinity sign on purpose when asked if they would survive? And Lottie could have been possessed or is
just straight up losing it (or possibly both)?
Misty poisoning the coach because she likes him is up there with
destroying the black box on the psycho level.
Not to mention, turning off a sick person’s machine just to scare kids.
So was giving Nat the owl so she could spy on her? It certainly seems like she could be behind
the postcards, but how would she have killed Travis and draw the signals if she
was with Nat the whole time, so I think she really is just doing her best
Veronica Mars impersonation. It also
seems like they confirmed Jackie’s death if her parents were giving Shauna her
jersey. We also got confirmation that
Shauna is pregnant, but there is no way that could be Callie… could it? The baby would be born in 1997 which would
make the kid twenty-four, but Callie is clearly a teenager, she does have a
college fund and a curfew. So what
happens to the kid? I have stated before
that I think there is still a chance Jackie is alive, what if she stole the kid
and have been living in the Canadian wilderness this whole time and are working
as a team to torment the survivors?
Could one of them be the woman in the window the kid sees?
Hawkeye:
I enjoyed Florence Pugh in the Black Widow movie but that kitchen
scene was way too far over the top. I was
surprised that it turned out that Clint was the one that killed Echo’s dad. Sure we know Clint went on a murderous rampage
as Ronin during The Blip, but I thought there was going to be a twist where the
real big bad of the show pretended to be Ronin to kill off her dad. The story of what happened that night still
seems a little fuzzy maybe there will be a twist in the finale. But we did learn who the real big bad of this
season was and it is a really big dude, Kate’s mom hired Yelena to kill Clint and
is working with Kingpin. Okay, not the
biggest reveal, everyone guessed that is who Uncle was (it was either Kingpin
or Mephisto) back when we first learned of him.
Survivor:
I have long joked that Erika would win this season ever since she
broke the Turn Back Time Hourglass because I figured even if she lost; she
would break the hourglass again until she won.
This was a joke because she seemed fairly insignificant coming out of
the merge. They spent so much time of
the Black People alliance, and yet under-edited when an actual minority won, and
the first female of an all newbie season since Michele.
But my favorite part of the finale was just how delusional Xander
was. The befuddled look on the jury’s face
when Xander was explaining how they did not respect Erika was hilarious. Then he actually saves Erika so he did not want
Erika to have some hero moment by wining fire making and she still almost swept
the votes save a pity vote from Danny to his close ally DeShawn. I do not remember a time someone went into Final
Tribal that confident and ended up not getting one vote. Russell maybe.
The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and
Allies: Way
to reward the cell that lost by letting them pick anyone to be teammates with
in the final leg of the final. Of course
Kacee and Kyle were going to pick CT and Tori respectively. Poor Devin and Emy were then stuck with each
other. Granted, they probably deserve each
other.
The Challenge: All-Stars: Ooof, poor Tyler, gets passed
over by Casey, who is not the strongest competitor this season, being stuck
with one of the few weaker females Jasmine, loses because of her, but because
of Kendal not being medically cleared, only him, not Jasmine has to
compete. You could actually see his arm
wrapped during his confessional, so you could tell things would not go well for
him during elimination. It may be time
to retire Pole Wrestling before Laterrian breaks someone’s hip.
Now our teams are set for the rest of the season and the
Jodi/Brad duo seems like the team to beat.
The only team that could have matched them was Laterrian and Kendal but
replace Kendal with Jasmine and that team looks much weaker. Joanna was the highest placing female last season
so maybe she and MJ could be a dark horse.
Or maybe there will be more Brittany Spears trivia so Casey and Cohutta
can dominate.
It was weird hearing people talk about how close they were
to the finals since there had only been four weeks of eliminations up to this
point but twelve contestants made the finals last season. After this week’s elimination, there are
fourteen people left so if they do the same, there would only be one more
elimination before the finale.
Big Sky:
I am supposed to case Ronald killed Cassie’s dad? We have barely seen him. But it is long time past Ronald’s expiration
date. The drug cartel storyline is much
more interesting.
