57 Channels and Only This Is On: July 24, 2022

 

Westworld: Oh snap, they killed off the remaining human main character (well, assuming the Man in Black is not in cryostasis somewhere; how long can you keep someone alive like that).  But I guess Caleb’s kid has now hooked up with Bernard to uncover Maeve.  Though where was the Man in Black whom she was hugging when buried?  Now that those two timelines converged, the question now is how does Neo-Delores fit in?  It seems fairly obvious she is writing narratives for the fly people and it also seems like it would then be Bernard who sent Teddy, but why.  What is so special about Neo-Delores if the original Delores is dead and her cloned mind ball is in Charlotte?

 

The Chi:  Oh wow, I am surprised the mom picked her baby daddy.  It already ended badly once.  But Trig really needs a wardrobe upgrade if he is running for City Council, that one shirt he had on looked like he was wearing a sash. 

 

Flatbush Misdemeanors:  How many employees does that small bike shop have?  They went from none to three in five episodes.  Sure, none of them seem to be very good.

 

In the Dark:  I am mildly surprised that Jess did not show up at the trial.  I thought for sure she would be a surprise witness.  Instead the surprise was the bartender just went scorched earth on the stand.  But Felix had a point, she did contact him.  But now that Murphy is a CI, seems pretty obvious she will be forced to work with Darnell who is working undercover and that is how he gets shot.  Now the question is when that will happen.

 

Only Murders in the Building:  I was a bit annoyed that we did see the face of the person on the security camera. How about rewind it a bit to show him sitting down? The camera is pointing at the door, the guy had to of entered at some point. I am typically really annoyed when characters are that dumb for the sake of the plot, but I guess Oscar is not the brightest person, so I guess it tracks.

 

But my first thought looking at that guy from the back (and I am using male pronouns because it definitely looked like a guy) is that it kind of looked like Will. Come to think of it, the guy in the wall with Lucy last week also kind of looked like Will too (at least in build, I believe the skin under the mask was lighter), but would a guy with allergies become a vet? Though if Will has Dimas blood in him, maybe we should look at him as a suspect.

 

Though this episode really pushed Alice as the murderer, the whole Son of Sam game, Jan mentioning that the murderer is most likely an artist who would likely try to infiltrate the Three Amigos, which only makes me believe she did it less.  But Alice admitting she is a fraud made me wonder if she also lied about being from England, this could explain her bad accent.

 

Motherland: Fort Salem:  Oh snap, Alder just exploded a bunch of dudes from the inside.   But are they still heading out west, or will this attack make them go back to Salem?

 

The Challenge: USA:  They need to get through the choosing of partners quicker, which should be a thirty second montage.  But I always love challenges that involve intelligence.  It took some of them way too long to realize all the puzzles were and item from a country that are an alliteration. 

 

The Old Man:  Okay, I am confused, is Maeby Funke the warlord’s daughter or did Jeff Bridges who knocked up the warlord’s wife without him knowing?  But a really bad way to end the season.  I do wonder if this was meant to be a limited series, but they cut things short because of Bridges’ health and just kind of did a wink and a nod that they would be able to finish in a second season.
