57 Channels and Only This Is On: August 14, 2022

Westworld: I actually liked this season and they had to go and ruin it by just killing off three of the four major characters within minutes of each other. Yeah, they told us robots who are shot in their pearl are dead-dead, but we were also told Delores and Teddy were dead-dead but two people who definitely look like them showed up this season so I am sure we will see Maeve, Bernard, and Charlotte very soon.

The Chi: I did not realize the guy who shot Gemma was the mentee who tried to rob Emmitt a couple episode back. There are just too many characters to keep track on this show.

City on a Hill: On one hand, I am surprised that they killed Ernie Hudson so quickly. But on the other hand, they really could not have Decoursey spend that much time away from his job. Speaking of his job, is he going to start investigating one of the ongoing story lines like the construction accident, the cop shooting, or even possibly investigate the guy Jackie is employed by (which would be the most interesting as it will be who side Jackie falls on) or will we be juggling a four case?

Flatbush Misdemeanors: How dumb is that supervisor who did not realize there was something that was not lube in that bottle?

In the Dark: Well, that had to be one of the worst bottle episode in the history of television. How about not sticking two very unlikeable characters alone in a room together? And the beeping toy was so stupid. And why is the kingpin on the hunt for the blind chixk and Darnell? Does he not have at least one their numbers somewhere?

Only Murders in the Building: Oh wow, after the false reveal of Marv, I thought Glitter Guy would slip through our grasps one more time. But now that we know he is Det. Kreps, that makes me think about the first season in a whole new light. We know that Tim Kono's tox screen was not done after his murder, I thought it was just police incompetency, but with Kreps involved, that seems more deliberate now.

But just what are Kreps' intentions? Texting Charles and Olivier makes it look like his is a good guy, but then going after Lucy with a knife is very nefarious. But I wonder if he was breaking into Charles' apartment to go after Lucy or was it for something else and just went after her after he realized she was there?

So we finally know who Glitter Guy is, now the question is, who killed Bunny? Who was the guy in the passageway with Lucy? Who met with Bunny at the diner? Who stole her painting? Det. Kreps may be the answer to one or more of those questions (he most likely is passageway guy) but I doubt he is the answer to all of them.

One more question, why have they spent multiple scenes of Marv talking about his daughter? I saw a theory that Alice is really his daughter and the more Marv talks about his daughter, the more I think it has to be someone. Poppy is the only other realistic option I can think of.

The Challenge: USA: There is always that part of the season of this show where someone gets a lot of screen time and I have to ask myself, have they been there this whole time. That was David this week who wrnt from I forgot he was on the show to getting every confessional. Which meant he was either going to win the challenge or get eliminated. But I will never understand the people who go on this show even though they are scared of heights, or water, or cannot swim.

Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin: Well, that Mouse storyline go weird quick. Though I am still not sure why she is posing as a kidnap victim. Even more confusing is just where did her father go? Seems like he would have a good case for paternity, even if they did not go through proper channels. So Angela was raped. So is A the product of that (my, it is Karen theory took another big hit this week so I do need a new theory)? And we learned this week that Imogen’s baby is the byproduct of rape (if that was a secret, what has she been telling people this whole time) by an unknown assailant, add that to Tabby being raped by an unknown assailant, now I have to ask, did A rape them both in some sick revenge fantasy because he thinks their moms were somehow involved with Angela’s rape? That would be messed up.
