House of the Dragon:
I never really minded that Game of Thrones routinely went an hour because
they usually juggled at least four storylines at a time, sometimes more. With this show staying at King’s Landing most
of the time and focusing solely on the Targarians, these episodes have dragged a
bit. They really need to get the Starks
or Lannisters in there. But the battle
lines are starting to form. The Sea Snake
has thrown in with the Rouge Prince, the king has tied himself to the
Hightowers (which I guess is less gross than marrying a twelve year old), and
the current heir is kind of left out there on her own waiting for a half-brother
to come along (which the promo spoils happens).
Tales of the Walking Dead:
I actually liked the idea of a swamp cruise to escape a zombie
apocalypse; unfortunately they ruined it by making it an Alpha origin story,
even though we already got her origin story.
I checked out after she left the boat.
This episode would have been much better had it been Death on the Zombie
Nile, just keep have people disappearing, and then have the hijackers arrive in
the final act.
The Chi:
Oh snap, they killed off the old kingpin. Though he really felt insignificant this season. It felt like he was just brought back so the
former mayor could turn on him to make more nefarious.
City on a
Hill: Watching a lot of cop shows in my
life, I have heard them talk about giving gun residue tests before, but in all
my years, that was the first time I actually saw someone take that test. That was a lot more complicated that I assumed. I thought it was just a simple swab. So Jackie actually lied to help Decoursey. Then Jackie saw Decoursey’s boss at Sinclair’s
house. Everything is starting to tie
together. But why is Jenny having
someone dive for her husband’s badge? If she wants her husband reinstated,
could they not just issue a new one?
In
the Dark:
Huh? Did we not see Darnell get
shot at the start of the season? What bad
editing bullshirt is this? Mot that I am
complaining Max died, I just wish that had happened a lot sooner. But all this happened because Josh would rather
the Blind Chick go to prison than bring down a drug organization that is
killing people. That has to be the
dumbest plot mechanism in the history of television. Then it looks like in the finale, the Blind
Chick is going to torture and kill Josh.
I guess if you are going out, go out with a dumb bang.
The
Challenge: USA: Sigh, after
all that big talk from Sarah last week, I was fully expecting her to get eliminated
by Angela this week. Unfortunately Danny
turned out to be scared of Angela and sent in Cashey instead. So the Fab 5 did not last very long, Desi
turned on them and Cash is gone. So is
there just a Fab 3 or with the other two realize Sarah is too much of a loose cannon?
Stargirl: As if Cindy did not look even guiltier, she had
a literal smoking gun in her hand. She
really cannot talk her way out of that one, though she looks so guilty it probably
is not her. But which of the new friendamies
could it be? I suspect it was not anyone
we saw. Maybe someone in the Icicle family. Are any of them still around? I do wonder how, or if, the daughter plays into
this. But artimis coming though with a
C+C Music Factory montage really made this episode.
Resident
Alien: Well, that was confusing. It took me a second to realize that
Harry is actually the artist. So he is
the baby alien’s actual father, just a six hundred year older version of
him. But why not go to Patience to warn
Harry of the upcoming apocalypse? Is
this Back to the Future rules where he cannot see his younger self? If so, why not send a note or something?
The
Resort: To quote the great philosopher
Chidi Anagonye: What the fork?!?! Really,
that was it? The kids were just hanging
out in goo like nothing happened for the past 15 years? I was expecting something a lot more
interesting than that from the guys who did Palm Spring and Mr. Robot.
