Killing Eve:
I have no idea why the crazy French assassin killed that one chick. Simple jealousy? But it does not seem she knew about her and
Eve until she overheard them. I also have
no idea why she tried to kill the chick who gave her painkillers either. Maybe I should pay more attention. But with two more episodes left ever, why
bother?
The Walking Dead: I called
it, the showdown between Daryl and Maggie was not as antagonistic as it
seemed. But what is so annoying about
the mustache twirling villain, he was willing to kill an entire settlement to
get his weapons back, but now he is bargaining with the actual person who stole
he weapons to kill Maggie
Billions: Did Mike Prince really just say “mother
husker”? But anyway. During the whole succession thing and people
trying to figure out why, my first thought was that maybe he was maybe he was
dying. Nope, the show is doing something
even bigger, and more absurd, than trying to move the Olympics: he is running
for president… in 2028. Well at least
the show will not be on the air by then.
Probably?
But the whole Wendy book thing made no sense to me. How could a therapist think writing a book
with thinly veiled caricature of her clients was a good idea? At first I thought she was trying to get
fired, but then she burned the book at the end.
So what was it all for? It kind
of felt like the writers did not have anything else for her to do but had to
use her somehow.
Super
Pumped: The Fight for Uber: Travis
was on the Trump economic team? Yeah,
definitely seems like Trump’s kind of guy and helps explain why our economy was
in the toilet when Trump left office.
But I am kind of with Travis on the price surging thing, being on the
side of the passengers is always the best side to be on. But the scene with Ariana and Bill just shows
what is wrong with this show, trust your actors to be able to convey those
sediments, do not put subtitles on the screen.
This show is too much in all the wrong ways. Well, except in the amount of Pearl Jam
songs.
The Girl
from Plainville: I cannot
confirm nor deny watching the REO Speedwagon scene multiple times.
Moon
Knight: If I am being chased
by a cult who unleashes a jackal only I can see on me, I am not waiting that
long to let the trained assassin living inside out. I would be perfectly fine
living in glass reflections for a while if that ever happened. But now that Steven has taken a backseat, I
would be fine if he stays there for the rest of the season now. I am kind of over his whole act after two
episodes. Give me more of the cool
superhero, less of his nebbish alter ego.
Survivor: This
season opened with a montage that showed Tori finding something. I assumed it was the dumb phase advantage. Except someone else on her tribe found that
this week. So what exactly does Tori
find and when will she find it? We are already
six hours into the season. We were already
spoiled the results of two Tribals where they made it seem like she would go
home, now we are at some buff dropping situation (I wonder if they are going to
be split in two again with the odd person out once again getting the dumb turn
back time advantage… except there are an even number of people this time) so it
looks like she will be going to every Tribal going forward.
But Daniel has to go down as one of the worst Survivor
contestants ever. He played last Tribal
so bad and then still managed to dig a bigger hole this week. He even said something to the effect that he added
nothing to his Tribe at the Challenge.
He did not even try to not get voted out. Good riddance.
The Dropout:
I was
listing to an interview with one of the producers and she said the finale
changed after e-mails between Elizabeth and Sunny were released. The original plan was to have half the
episode take place at Burning Man. The
producer claims the finale was better with the change. I whole-heartedly disagree. Twenty minutes of watching Lizzy weirdly dancing
at Burning Man sounds significantly more entertaining (it is not hard to find
photos online and… oof) than what we got.
The final scene was particularly bad with the lawyer, who had to know what
was going on and tried to ruin Tyler Shultz’s life, berating Lizzy after the fact. Probably the right message, but not a great messenger. Amanda Seyfried recently told Vanity Fair she
would love to do Elizabeth again in a season two and I am all for it. They could easily do a season on her and Sunny’s
trial. Oh, and give us a Burning Man
episode.
Halo: So the weird alien chick is special in some
sort of way. Although, if we told why, I
missed it. But not a good sign when your
show’s most charismatic character is an AI hologram.
Big Sky:
Oh no, Jinder Mahal was killed by a woman. Oh well, I guess he can go back to his day
job as jobber. At least he is beat up by
men there. So the father is the one lacing
their drugs? I guess dude is hard up for
money. I wonder how much his white girlfriend
was involved in that decision.
The Blacklist: I did not see whoever the big bad is to kill the guy who actually kill the bartender. Oh, and he also killed the lawyer. So whoever is in charged seemingly does not want anyone to know where the black site is either. But who else even knows of the black site to tell the lawyer? I wonder if it is someone we have already met.
