The Blacklist: I knew it, that guy was with Red the whole
time. I just did not expect it to be
revealed the very next episode and then the guy dies minutes later.
Quantum Leap: So Ben jumped into his own body from five years
ago? Jumping into yourself just kind of
defeats the purpose of the Quantum Leap program. I cannot believe the renewed this crap.
The Mandalorian: So it took Mando multiple episodes to realize
what I knew the moment that it happened: Bo-Katan could lay claim to the Dark Saber
because she defeated the eye monster that defeated Mando. Sigh.
Wu-Tang: An American
Saga: I am glad we got to the Rage
tour by the finale, that that could have been a whole season. I was actually working at my local amphitheater
during this show and Wu-Tang started a full hour late because the group was playing
back stage. Then it was Rage that had
the plug pulled on them because we had a very strict curfew in order. Fun times.
Shame we did not get a season dedicated to the album bought by the Pharma
Bro.
The Challenge: World
Championship: Nothing more anticlimactic
than when an episode ends with no elimination because someone when home due to a
medical DQ instead. How exactly did Grant
miss a giant balloon in the middle of the lake?
But poor Kellyanne, does not even get the satisfaction of throwing Jonna
in out of spite.
Survivor: Carson seemed like he was in one of the
better positions in the game, but what a boneheaded move to tell someone they
were the target. He just became
extremely untrustworthy and just gained the support of one dude for it.
Grease: Rise of the
Pink Ladies: I have the same issue
with this show that I had with Up Here
in that the songs just are not that good.
They just take the steam out of the episode for three straight
minutes. Other than the Theme to Grease, the songs just did not add
anything to this show. I wonder if they
will try to repurpose any of the original song because these new songs are not
working. But unlike Up Here where Jason
Street is the only good character, I actually kind of like most of the characters
on this show.
Yellowjackets: I was a
little off with Tai’s wife dying, though, give it another episode and it may
still happen. But the biggest takeaway
this week with Tai is that she might not actually be sleepwalking. It certainly made it seem like she has a
split personality. So who exactly is the
other personality and what does she have to do with the Man with No Eyes?
Speaking of seeing things, Lottie is having visions again. What exactly is that blood and dead bees (or
yellowjackets) portend? When the lady came
up to talk to her, from behind, I thought that was young Nat for a second. Speaking of Nat, when she was startled at the
plane, I thought that was going to be Javi.
Thankfully it was not, because has he just been living there for the past
two months and no one bothered to look there, that would have been silly. But any ending where Javi shows up alive after
all this time would be a little silly since Jackie froze to death… unless they are
not alone.
Then Misty is gonna be Misty, in both timeline. Of course she is going to give a very inappropriate
gift at the baby shower (and what are we to make of Shanna getting a nosebleed at
the very same time a bunch of birds died?)
Then getting the other Citizen Detective ordering to rough up Randy was
hilarious. But is he really going to buy
that story about Adam? And I was a
little disappointed that Misty would need credit card records to identify the
purple people (eaters). Does she not already
have a file on Lottie and knows her cult wears purple and was able to put two and
two together?
I got serious Lost
vibes with Coach Ben’s flashback, you know, the kind of flashbacks where you
just knew that character was going to die at the end of the episode. Except he did make it out of the episode alive. But it hard to see he will survive the season. The better quest may be just how will he
die? Does he get killed for meat? Is it an accident like Jackie? I kind of got suicide vibes from him.
