Fear the Walking Dead: Oh Luciana,
why are you lying to Daniel about his daughter just moments after the guy literally
murdered a dude who lied about his daughter.
But to be honest, I have no clue what happen to his daughter and part of
me thinks she could very well end up in the tower.
The
First Lady: I found it
interesting that there were multiple wheelchairs in the episode, Betty’s
student and Michelle’s dad, but none in the timeline with possibly the most famous
wheelchair user. But I found it odd that
this was the marriage origin episode but Franklin did not show up until the
scene before the wedding. Instead
Eleanor spends most of the episode at boarding school. And he was the only actor who played a husband
that I actually recognized (reuniting him with his Looking for Alaska co-star
who played young Betty). I wonder if we
will get more episodes with the younger versions in future episodes, there are
still decades until they move into the White House, but on the other hand, you
have Viola Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Gillian Anderson, are you really going
to sideline them for multiple episode.
But then again, maybe the reason they signed on for a ten episode season
was they would get a few episodes off.
I did break my one rule of watching based on real events
shows/movies, going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole while watching. I was stuck that Eleanor’s maiden name was also
Roosevelt I just had to look right away to see if she married her cousin. Later in the episode FDR made it a point to
mention they were just fifth cousins. I
kind of forgot Teddy, who was actually Eleanor’s uncle, and Franklin were distantly
related.
The Man
Who Fell to Earth: Honestly,
I am kind of more interested with what happened to Newton when he arrived on
this planet. So the scientists took his
eyes, when crazy and killed all but one of them. When is that flashback episode?
The
Endgame: Well, at least
we learned why the evil lady hated Elana, but I feel like that reveal should have
come earlier. The president seemed like a
more formidable big bad. To learn he was
just a puppet just fell flat.
The Girl
from Plainville: Elle Fanning was great in the show, but
ultimately, this story was not really worthy of an eight episode series when all
you have are basically a bunch of text to base the show on. If you are going to stretch this story to eight
episodes, you really needed to have more musical number / dream sequences.
Moon
Knight: If Layla’s sprit animal is a Hippo,
why did she get budget Wonder Women wings?
I guess being really hungry would be a lame superpower I guess. But again, the blackouts were fun in the
first episode was funny, but how do you yadda yadda the final battle? Did they just do that to save the reveal
everyone knew coming for the post credit scenes?
The Real
World Homecoming: New Orleans: Oh Julie, not only are you a bigger mess than when
you were first time in New Orleans, you got caught admitting you are playing
things up for the cameras. Number one
rule of reality television, do not get caught manufacturing drama for camera time.
Survivor: So we do not get a reaction from Drea about
RocksRoy’s all dude’s alliance. Oh
well.But this seems the episode where you really have to put Omar as the
frontrunner to win. Will anyone realize
he is playing all sides before it is too late?
The
Flight Attendant: Guess my prediction that the two kidnappers were the
ones who were found in the lake. So I
guess those two are going to be someone we are not familiar with. But there are certainly trying to make it
seem like Cassie’s handler is a bad guy but I am just not buying it.
Under
the Banner of Heaven: Yet another episode over an
hour. They really could have cut the
homelife storyline, which adds nothing to the show.
Halo: It was
a bit strange to have a whole episode without Master Chief, especially after
the bif reveal of The Halo last week. Well
no real Master Chief, just a fever dream of him. I did like there was a video game homage with
Kwan keep on respawning after he kills her.
But I missed where Swhere Soren left the planet, and then just showed back
up this week. But I got a good laugh where
he got shot, the bunker that was supposed to protect him from the blast has
slits that let the flames in, but still managed to walk out of the bunker all
right.
Big Sky:
Didn’t Jenny just join the force?
A bit weird she became the defacto leader after the chief got shot. Is there no one with more seniority?
The Blacklist:
I am glad they revealed that Aram was still under the influence shortly after
Park died, because I pegged it a dream when he was happily riding his bike It was weird they kept going from Aram’s dream
to real life all episode. I wonder if Samar
will be haunting Aram for a couple more episodes because she was there at the
end and it would be strange to bring her back just for basically one scene.
