House of the Dragon:
So the cripple is into feet. At
least the writers finally gave some of these side characters some actually characterization. Then you have Cristen Cole straight up
murdering some random dude that we barely met with multiple people watching… and
once again gets a promotion afterwards. Speaking of characters we barely met,
were we really supposed to care about the twins with the same name racing against
Cristen and One Eye to find Aemon? It
does not seem like much would be different on who got there first and that was
the bulk of the episode. Buy Rhenese if
off to tell Rhenira about the Green’s plan, thus finally starting the Dance of
the Dragons. I guess the old head of the
Kingsguard will join them. But why exactly
was he just able to leave with no problem, but they quickly stopped and hung
the other dude?
The Walking Dead:
Oh, so the mayor wants to put all the blame on Eugene even though she
knows her former lackey was the one that had the zombies released. So I guess that is where the tension will
come from. Well that and the new
climbing zombies. But when are we going
to get the fast zombies we were promised during Worlds Apart? And which variant
is more frightening? But back to the mayor
and her lackey, what was going on with the kid zombie, at first I thought she was
going to like the kid zombie eat the lackey, but then brought in another body
to eat, so what is the lackey supposed to do?
Let the Right One In:
Okay, those monkeys are creepy.
But if the monkey could break its restraints, why couldn’t the
brother? But the sister was quick to learn
that is was not just their blood and blood banks that were keeping the brother
fed. And who was that henchman working
with and how much does the other guy know?
The father said it was just those two.
The henchman also ran into the other storyline, I wonder just how often
those two storylines intercut this season.
And what will the henchman do when he learns the boss owns that car?
Quantum
Leap: I first though the
guy who knew ben was with Al’s daughter, but why would Ben be following
him? Could there be a third team out
there leaping? But can that dude actually
see Ben, or did he somehow know that the person he leaped into was not really
that guy and guessed it was Sam? And if
not Al’s daughter, does that guy have a hologram following him around? Would Ben be able to see them? And most importantly, why no teaser of where
Ben leaps next week? But overall, seems
way too early to be breaking the rules of the original and leaping to a time earlier
than the leaper. That was a big no-no in
the original.
La
Brea: The killed off the
chick who knew how to get in the tower?
I am beginning to think this is a The Hatch situation where it takes way
too long to get into. Though, since this
is a time travel show, that chick it out there somewhere. But the Isaiah family tree is confusing. So his mother is in 1987, who presumably will
travel back in time with her husband and father, conceive Isaiah, leave her father
to raise her son? When do they go back
in time? Where exactly is 60(ish) year
old mom now? Where is dad at any age?
Andor: Oh
wow, The Waif sure cleans up nicely. I
needed context clues to even realize that was her (though I needed someone to inform
me that the Lady in Red was the shop assistant). But my problem with the first with the first
six episodes was they seemed like two district movies that did not have much to
do with each other besides the lead character. You could have started on episode
4 and not be confused for the next two episode. Finally, those two blocks of
episodes are coming together. I am
guessing this next block will be Bix and / or Vel (I definitely did not have to
look up those names) breaking Andor out of prison. Vel is certainly not actually going to kill
him, letting him rot in prison knowing what he knows also seems risky.
The
Handmaid’s Tale: I was
annoyed after making Serena slowly more sympathetic only for her to become pure
evil again seemingly just to fill the main antagonist roll with Fred gone. But
I guess the writers are trying to make Serena sympathetic again. She is
beginning to feel like one of those WWE wrestlers who go back and forth being
the good and bad guy every other feud they are in. But who is the antagonist of the show
now? The family that was keeping Serena
hostage? Is Lawrence finally going to go
full heel after going back and forth more often than Serena?
Tell
Me Lies: Well,
the promo monkeys fooled me into thinking it was the brother who fell off the
deck. Instead it was Wrigley whose football
career may be over. But now that almost
everything is out there, it feels like the levee is going to break in the finale
and I am all for it. Will someone have
photographic proof of Stephan and Macy that night? Was Facebook a big thing at that time? Will we get to see what happened that
night? I am not sure I believe Stephen’s
retelling, I would really like to see how that night unfolded myself.
Survivor: Voting out Geo was the right move, you do not
want to blindside someone who can turn around and steal your Idol, but I wished
the Survivor Gods somehow willed Ryan to be voted off after one of the
misguided plays of all time. Also pretty
dumb: Janine and Jesse risking their vote.
I am not sure what is dumber, losing your vote with so few people in
your tribe, or losing your vote with the merge on the horizon? So Geo is out and the other two lost their
vote. Compare that to the last time here
Noelle came out of it with an Extra Vote and a secret alliance. Do not be greedy people. At least Janine still has her Idol, Jesse is
out a vote and one of his tribe mates he was ready to vote out has every reason
to join her secret alliance over him. A
lot of moving parts next week (even though no dumb turn back time this season,
but the preview made it look like there will still be a dumb twist), Jesse seem
like the most likely to get voted out next week. Unless he somehow benefits from whatever the
new dumb twist turns out to be.
The
Challenge: Ride or Dies: Ugg, I was
so glad when Kacee and her loser brother were booted, why were they brought back? I was so happy to have a season with no Josh and
very little Kacee. Plus they really need
to outlaw helping people during the elimination. It is so stupid they allow that.
Stargirl: Oh yeah, I completely forgot they left the
Green Lantern storyline on a cliffhanger.
I also forgot Keith David was playing a talking skull. Cool.
Since this was just “Part 1” I guess we will continue this diversion
from who killed The Gambler. Though, at
this point, it is pretty obviously Dragon King.
Pennyworth: So V (of Vendetta fame) is just some aging
hippy? That is a huge letdown.
