House of the Dragon:
This show reminds me of classic TV where only the red shirts die. Every
time someone bites it, I just go, oh no... oh well. I could not even tell you
if that was Jace or Luke that died (but am proud of myself that I could actually
name both of them). Viserys is the only
person who has dies that has been worth caring about but I think you did not
even need to be a book reader to know early on he was not going to last long.
Really, the shocking part with his death was that he made it to episode 8.
Hopefully without any more time jumps / actor changes (presumably), they will
give up reasons to care about some of these characters next season.
The Walking Dead:
Last week I was unsure why the mayor left her zombie son and some rando
in the room with that one dude, and now this week I am left even more confused
by that action. Also kind of confusing,
how they were able to grab Ezekiel without making a sound.
Let the Right One In:
The sister came around pretty quickly to her brother just killing
people. But know we now why the henchman
is helping some mad scientists, he was providing him with drugs to sell. But my question is: are these killers in NYC
vampires or just people hopped on these drugs?
Quantum
Leap: So that other leaper is from the
future (or possibly a real good actor, though no one on this show is a good actor). But why accuse someone from the past of
following you? Is Ben following him, but
forgot because of the amnesia? Could
Future Leaper have leaped into someone in 2022 and did something that caused
Ben to go after him without telling anyone.
Is Future Leaper tied to Al’s daughter?
This is starting to get too complicated.
The
Surreal Life: It seems
like the majority of “celebrities” recruited this time around are more infamous
than actually famous.
Reboot: Really good first season, but kind of
sputtered at the end. The whole
storyline about the new executive burying the show and Paul Rieser having to fall
on the sword just fell flat. It would be
a shame if he is not on a potential second season, though obviously they will
find a way to bring him back. Probably
by blackmailing the executive. Also 8
episodes was just too short.
La
Brea: Of course Paara was
related to the head of the Exiles, but still have not found out where exactly
did these people came from and how they speak perfect English. Are they time travelers? Did the time travelers teach them
English? We did get conformation that Gavin’s
mom is the one creating all these sink holes but we still need to know the how and
the why.
The
Handmaid’s Tale: Moving back
to New Bethlehem seems like a horrible idea.
But it would get them closer to Hannah.
I really do not trust the U.S. government official to pull off a successful
raid on wherever she is being kept. But “Do
you have an irony deficiency” may have been the cheesiest, and at the same
time, best line ever on the show.
Tell
Me Lies: Oh my,
what a finale. It was pretty obvious by
the last episode Stephan was driving the night Macy dies, but still very heart
wrenching to finally see it for ourselves because they did a really good job
fleshing out Macy is that short flashback.
She may actually be the most likeable person on this whole show, either
her or Bree.
Okay, Mr. Brightside time. Great song.
Great song placement. Lucy’s look
on her face was an all timer for the unintentional comedy scale. I just broke out laughing and had to rewind a
couple times. And you cannot feel bad
for Lucy after making out with Stephen while Diana was performing in her a
cappella group (I am going to need more of that a cappella group in season
two). How is that dude a prize for those
two women to fight over? I kind of get
Lucy, being an impressionable freshman, but Diana; it is time to find a real
man.
Just do not ask Bree for help finding one because
bombshell number two was Evan hooked up with Lucy shortly after Bree left for
the semester. That is going to make that
awkward wedding even more awkward. I
kind of think Pippa know of this hook-up due to a few things she said at the
reception. Now the question is, who else
knows, and has/will anyone tell Bree?
Speaking of the reception and the last bombshell
of the season: Stephen has a new fiancée.
I guessed it was not going to be Diana, but as I cycled through everyone
it could be, Lucy’s high school friend did not cross my mind (for some reason,
I was trying to remember if Macy had a sister).
I am so ready for a second season.
How did they meet? What does Lucy
think of this? Wrigley’s brother killed
himself, right? Or could he be in prison
because of Macy’s death? The only
problem with those scenes in the future is we know Stephen gets away with it,
at least up until then.
But the biggest question may be (well,
other than why does Bree still have the same hairstyle at her wedding that she
had back when she was a freshman in college seven years ago?):
should I patiently wait for season two (which there better be one; get on that
Hulu) or just break down and read the book in the meantime?
Survivor: Gabler has to go down as pulling off one of
the dumbest merge plans of all-time. You
do not offer up your tribe member at the vote unless you are on the outs. He just lost a number and showed he is not
loyal which will put him on the chopping block. The old orange and red could have
easily hanged up on the blue, now it is just anarchy out there.
The
Challenge: Ride or Dies: Okay,
the double decker Hall Brawl was cool, but that one second head start felt like
nothing. But, sign, it seems like we are
at a slow march until all the rookies are out of the game. There is no fun in that.
Stargirl: So I take it, the Helix Squad will be showing
up in the finale just when the battle will seemed to be lost. Granted, I had no clue who any of those
people were.
Big
Sky: Holy Buddy Garrity
sighting!!!! Then we had a meeting of
the creepy dude and somehow neither died.
I have a feeling their next meeting, one will not be walking away from
that encounter..
Pennyworth: So are Bet and Salt really dead? Or are they going to be resurrected somehow
. The dude is already mostly machine at
this point.
A
Friend of the Family: Jan has
been at a private school this whole time?
That was more bizarre than I was expecting.
