Zoey’s Extraordinary
Playlist: The show was on a string
of great episodes since I came back from hiatus but this felt like one of those
pre-hiatus episodes. My problem with
those episodes is there seemed too much screen time without Zoey. I did not care about Maggie’s business and I
do not care about what seems to be a new gambling problem. Just fast forward to where Zoey helps
her. Though Zoey seems to be having a
problem with helping lately, this week I just kept getting annoyed with her
trying to get Emily to talk when clearly Emily just wanted to blow off some steam. Let get get her dance on, then talk it out later.
The Nevers:
Why exactly are most of the Touched ladies? So all we met is the doctor and the three
eyed raven? Maybe the singer will expose
more. But if the three eyed raven
followed the electricity lady, did he just let her get captured? Then his
mother is evil? And just what did she do
to the Italian chick?
Fear the Walking Dead:
So last week John is ready to die but decides he wants to live only to
be shot. Then this week, Ginny is ready
to die, get a reprieve, only to be shot.
Way to recycle plot. But why didn’t
Ginny get in the car with her hostages?
Did she want to stay in the middle of v shootout where people wanted to
kill her? And where did those mask
people come from and how were they able to find Morgan? And how did Morgan escape on foot. And how did everyone find his hidden compound
so easily? They had the entire pandemic
to write these episodes and yet they seem sloppier than usual.
Good Girls:
Getting caught robbing a jewelry store so the Secret Service will pay
you seems like a really bad plan. But is
grandma the real boss or was that just a term of endearment? Or both?
Mare of Eastown:
This was one of the first times I remember they actually gave an episode
to a victim on one of these dead girl shows.
That actually got me to care that she is now dead. But it seems almost obvious that Guy Peirce
did it. Not that anyone I assume did it after
one episode ever turns out to be correct.
City on a Hill:
I wonder Siobhan knows her client
is very guilty. I guess it helps us as
the viewer tthat we know for sure. But
sometimes lawyers do not care either way.
If only Decourcy could get a confession.
But he could not even get the chick that killed Jimmy to turn informant when
she was the one that actually pulled the trigger.
Cruel Summer: From the trailer I thought this show was
going to be a mystery show about who adducted Kate but then they answered that
question by the end of this first episode.
So then I thought the mystery was going to be who was lying, Kate or
Jeanette. But then Kate admits she was
lying about something in the chatroom.
Now I guess the mystery is just what exactly is Kate lying about, and if
she is lying about Jeanette, just how did she get the necklace? I do have a sinking suspicious the old friend
is involved somehow.
But man, did this show move at a breakneck speed. Those two closing shots to each of the
episodes were just epic. I just hope
they do not move too fast and just run out of plot like the first season of
Homeland. Or turn into The Affair and
constantly give us multiple points of view of the same scenes. But after two episodes I am definitely
hooked. This show is also doing a very
good job scratching that nineties nostalgia itch.
Debris:
Um, what happened to the chick from the beginning? They just found her and then were back to
look for daddy. But I do not sure happened
to the dude that was helping them, he was clearly shot point blank in the
check, but when they got to the car, he was bleeding from the neck.
Supergirl:
What a shameless rip-off of Ghostbusters. I am deeply offended by that.
Big Sky: What is wrong with family, first the mother
bites her daughter over drugs. Then one
brother goes all Cain over the other one.
But at the show did not make us wait to figure up what the now dead son and
his father were cryptically talking about.
The Challenge: Double
Agents: I cannot remember a time when a musical
supervisor buried someone like they buried Fessy this episode. First they play Boys Don’t Cry while he
pouting on a rock. TJ guilts him to help
his partner then disqualifies them after he eats more bull testicles. Then the
music supervisor twists the knife by playing Karma Chameleon for the guy who
kept dragging his female partners all season only to lose because he was
pouting like a little boy, refusing to complete a checkpoint. I do not know how Fessy comes back from that
(though, unfortunately he is rumored to be on the next season). CT wearing Johnny like a backpack is still
the greatest Challenge moment of all time, but this montage may make it into
the top five. Oh yeah, and speaking of
CT, he won again. Meh. And what was with that end credits
scene? What challenge was TJ activating
twenty-four hours later? Was that
supposed to be a teaser for the Senior Tour?
Does that mean they are continuing the spy theme into the next challenge? It was just confusing.
The Challenge:
All-Stars: When the trailer came up
with TJ telling someone, “Hope to see you never” I thought for sure that he was
talking to Beth. Well, I was close; Beth
was in the Crater when Arissa decided to go off on everyone. But another pretty entertaining daily challenge,
even the elimination looked interesting, why do all the ones on the original show
look so boring or overdone?
Manifest: I always wondered how the doctor was able to
cover up a murder. I think this was the
first time they mentioned he knew. I
guess he was the one that got the garbage truck to pick the body up.
The Falcon and the
Winter Soldier: People have been saying
Sharon was the power Broker since she showed up but I never bought into that
theory because it never really made much sense.
She was so strong in her convictions she was willing to become a traitor
in her country’s eyes just to do the right thing but now she is funding actual
terrorist? Well that turned out to be
the case and everything she did makes no sense.
Unless another popular theory is true: who we are seeing is not the real
Sharon but a Skrull and this is setting up the upcoming Secret Invasion
show. Maybe her pulling off the face was
a huge Easter Egg.
The Blacklist: So Lizzie rams Red’s girlfriend’s car and all
of the sudden they are share a cabin close?
And why not set her up in the cabin and lure Red there? And why is Red’s girlfriend fighting an armed
assailant? Considering Lizzie has been gone for so long, I was expecting more
in her return. But there she is with Red
an easy target, and I am sure they will figure some stupid reason why she does
not kill him.
