Survivor: So a live Tribal, but they still ended up
with the person who it seemed like was going home the whole episode anyway. Sigh.
The Challenge: Battle
of the Eras: Hopefully they can finally
get Johnny out next week because this ping-ponging between him and Michele is
getting boring.
The Walking Dead:
Daryl Dixon: The Book of Carol: So
no annoying kid next season? I like it
more already. Unfortunately the kid is important
so I fear we might see him again.
Hopefully they age him up by the next time we see him.
Survivor: Sigh, we have reached the unfortunate part of
the season where the generic hot blonde gets voted out. And we are also at the part of the season
where I point out how stupid it is for the person with the most money to not
spend it all at the action. How dumb do
you have to be to have the most money and pass hoping that pizza will be next?
The Challenge: Battle
of the Eras: Sigh, they are just not
going to be able to get Johnny out this season, are they? But the one dude pointed out an interesting
twist on this current set up. You kind
of want your allies of the opposite sex to be targeted so if they go in and
win, they are not going to pick you to be the target.
The Walking Dead:
Daryl Dixon: The Book of Carol: Oh yeah, eye guy is still around. And I forgot he is a good guy now after not
murdering a child. Welcome back I guess.
Only Murders in the
Building: “I still haven’t watched
The Wire yet” is probably something I might say if someone had a gun to my head.
But season four made the same mistake season three did in
the killer reveal was a bit too melancholy instead of laugh out loud funny like
the first two seasons. Sure I chuckled a
little at the bit on the ledge and let out a laugh when they zoomed in on Jan
(for a second there, I thought they might be setting up Marshall as the murder
for the next season which could have been interesting halving the killer be the
next victim, oh well). But neither was
so funny I had to rewind because missed what came next because I was laughing
so hard like with Charles being drugged or the Killer Reveal Party.
It was also disappointing with all the doubles this season and
with all the mentions of the plot holes in the first season that the twist was
Marshall killed Sazz and disposed of her body by himself while the potholes
seemingly were just Sazz trying to tighten up her script. I wonder if the references to the potholes
were just the writers winking at their mistakes or are they just toying with us
and will finally let us know who wrote Jan’s note and who poisoned Winnie (who
finally made her triumphant return to the show; more Winnie next season) by the
final season?
We also got our usual set up to the next season. Poor Lester.
But there was also the Téa Leoni cameo as the wife of “The Neck” (I
guess Nina Lin’s husband being called “The Neck” back in season two is just a coincidence and one of the
writers really like calling people “The Neck”).
So here is my prediction, Lester is somehow tied into “The Neck” and Téa
Leoni had him killed to get the New Three Amigos on the case.
Survivor: Oh wow, another vote out where the person leaving
had a mental breakdown. Where are they
finding these people? It is time to go back
to casting regular people with regular jobs instead of these annoying superfans. And what a horrible advantage where you have
to secretly give the advantage to someone else.
And the choice made it even more lame.
The Challenge: Battle
of the Eras: So we are just going to
bounce back and forth between alliences every week, aren’t week? It is time for a shake up.
Agatha All Along:
Oof, those last two episodes were
horribly paced. First we got the unnecessary
gratuitous big fight, then a way too long flashback that just killed the finale. But it ended up being much like WandaVision, great premise that just
sputtered out at the end.
The Walking Dead:
Daryl Dixon: The Book of Carol: So they killed off the big bad and the
mother in the same episode. So what now?
Only Murders in the
Building: Well, my prediction that Paul
Rudd wanted to return so he could be the killer after being killed off last season
turned out to be off… unless my evil twin theory turns out to be right because
we know the writer needed help. Poor Paul Rudd, was fed rat poison, pushed down
an elevator shaft, shot in the head, and suffocated. Now I have to wonder if they will try to find
a way to bring him back and kill him again next season.
As for that partner, with all the clues that tie back to the
beginning, it seems like the accomplice would have been around from the
beginning. Speaking of things that have
been around since the beginning, the tie-dye sweatshirt was conspicuously very
visible when Mabel went to talk to Bev Melon. I still hold on to the prediction that the
other big reveal of the partner will happen at the wedding… followed by a death
for them to solve next season.
Survivor: It is always an entertaining episode when the
most delusional person finally gets voted off.
The Challenge: Battle
of the Eras: I guess if you have a
shot to take out Johnny if you can, but when he will be going against someone
the size of a pencil, maybe do not potentially give him all the power in the game.
Agatha All Along:
So we get confirmation that all the
nerds have been saying all along, that Aubrey Plaza is playing Death. Cool, hopefully being such a big character,
she shows up in other Marvel properties.
But RIP Patti Lupone. But I do
wonder if all the fallen witches are dead-dead or if they will somehow be
brought back. And I guess the Salem
Seven were not as important as I made them out to be.
The Old Man: Oh joy, another season ending in a cliffhanger. But how exactly does the ex-wife kidnap a
grown man? And if Maeby can find the
couple in section, how is she not able to find a kidnapped grown man? This will be a painful third season. Hopefully there is not one.
The Walking Dead:
Daryl Dixon: The Book of Carol: So
to find Carol she is cozying up to the lady who kidnapped him and is searching
for him. What could possibly go wrong?
Only Murders in the
Building: So did Paul Rudd make a deal
that they could kill him off last season as long as he could come back and be
the killer the next season? Though will
two episodes left, it is likely Glen Stubbins will just be the last red herring
of the season. On the other hand, with
so many doubles this season, there is bound to be an evil twin out there. So I would not be surprised if there is an
extra Stubbins and that is the one Sazz was talking about.
But then again, they brought up Winnie being poisoned for
the second week in a row making it seem like the killer has been around since the
first season. So that is another clue that
it is probably not Glen Stubbins or a potential evil twin. Also, it sounds like we are getting a wedding
this season and I am guessing there will be a high probability that it will
turn into a killer reveal party with one of the guests. Well, either that or someone will die at the
wedding… or maybe both.
Tell Me Lies: It became
fairly obvious as the first season went along that Drew was not at the
engagement party because he was either dead or in prison. Though, I always assumed if it were the
former, that Drew killed himself. Drew
dying because Wrigley gave him too many painkillers is rough. If Wrigley was having a hard time coping in
season two, I fear for him during season three.
Granted the bartender giving the obviously underage kid alcohol has some
liability too.
The Bree-Lucifer storyline was the weakest of the season,
but at least it ended hilariously. At
east I was laughing as it was explained to Bree what was really going on. I guess it will not take very long for her to
get back Evan next season. The biggest
question for me all season was does Bree know in the future that he hooked up
with Lucy and we did get than answer in dramatic fashion. You knew something big was about to go down
when the wedding string quartet started playing Mr. Brightside.
Now the biggest question is how did Evan and Stephen stay
friends for long enough so Stephan could sabotage his wedding? That was an extremely long and petty grudge
Stephan held. Man, it was extremely
cathartic watching Leo beat Stephan to a bloody pulp. I really hope a renewal notice is coming
soon.
Survivor: That was one of the most brutal blindside in a
long time. I do not remember the last
time someone got that mad at getting voted off.
The Challenge: Battle
of the Eras: Oh wow, it seemed like all
Rachel needed was to compete by herself.
But it will be interesting how alliances fall into place now that it is an
individual game, especially after two members of the vacation alliance got sent
home.
Agatha All Along:
Sigh, Ralph Boehner is back. And for no apparently reason, Agatha was wearing
a Boehner Family Reunion shirt with the tagline: Pitch a Tent. Sigh.
The Old Man: In what was the least shocking plot twist, Maeby
is not actually dead. I think I had that.
The Walking Dead:
Daryl Dixon: The Book of Carol: So
those two chicks kidnapped that dude just to pump out babies? This franchise has officially run out of ideas. But I was thinking this week, just how exactly
does Carol plan on finding Daryl now that she is in France.
Only Murders in the
Building: At the end of the first
season, after they solved the murder, Mabel mentioned about loose ends before
grabbing some more campaigns. A new murder presents itself and those loose ends
were never brought up again. Finally,
two and half seasons later, the new Three Amigos have brought up those loose
ends. This implies the killer is someone
who was around from the beginning. I
think we can cross off Uma and Lester. Was
Tie-Dye guy mad he got written off?
Since the murder seems to have been carried off by multiple people; maybe
he recruited all of Mabel’s forgotten love interests. The Arconiacs have also not been seen in a
while. Then there was the serial
murderer that Merv talked about during the blackout episode. What exactly is the legal status of Teddy
Dimas?
But one thing we were told to ask by Detective Williams was
the “why now?” Winnie gets poisoned, Jan
has a note on her door, and then there is long break at the end of season two,
before Sazz is shot. So why now? Why were there no threats from the killer
with that year break in the middle? Or
were there and we just did not see them?
We did not see the Westies in season but there were theoretically
around. Thankfully they revealed they
were the one cashing the checks. It was
extremely obvious it was them, especially when Howard saw there were five
different signatures. Still, I do not
think any of them are the killer. He is
the hall pass of one of them. I still
think this will tie back to the first season and Teddy might have shot to the
top of my murder board.
So much going on at the end, I have not even brought up the
old lady cat fight! Oh my.
Tell Me Lies: Umm, why was
the one sorority sister on the discipline board of someone who was accused of raping
one of her sister? Why would you think
she would be impartial? Except she through
her sister under the bus and let the guy get off. Oof.
So is that really why Lucy and Lydia grew apart? Then why would Stephan say to Lucy that Lydia
was excited to see her? Does Stephen not
know what went on and think they are still friends? Grant, there is a very high probability that
he was just being a troll.
There has been a lot focus on Drew the last couple
weeks. I wonder if he will finally make an
appearance this season. I still hold on
to the prediction that he is either dead (probably by his own hand) or in
prison by the time we get to the wedding.
Survivor: Uh-oh, you do not make big moves this early,
that one lady is in trouble. She even
broke two rules of the new era, if someone wants to make a big move early: let
them, and let them be the target. Do not
make a counter big move and then become the target. And certainly do not make a big move to keep
the annoying guy because you think you can beat him. Other people will think that two and will
probably get you out first especially if you just pull off a big move.
The Challenge: Battle
of the Eras: Ummm, so what are they
going to do with no male Era 1 players anymore?
Is Rachel in the clear or can other Eras still chose Rachel, they will
just have to pick a different guy to go into the arena. Are the two guy captains who do not win just automatically
going in from here on out?
Agatha All Along:
Ummmm, is everyone but Scarlet Witch’s
kid dead now? Where was Rio? Is she going to come in and save
everyone? She does not really seem like
the saving people in danger kind of person.
The Walking Dead: Daryl
Dixon: The Book of Carol: I never
thought any show could have a dumber name than High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, but this may actually
take the cake. At least High School
Musical was likely in on the joke of the silly name. This is just stupid. Also stupid: flying to France in the middle
of a zombie apocalypse. No way am I
getting in that thing.
Only Murders in the
Building: We finally meet Dudenoff… and
he is dead (seems obvious the Westies are cashing the checks). So do we have a serial killer on our hands or
just two killers who had the same idea to get rid of a body? This makes me wonder if the power goes of randomly
in any of the first three seasons. But I
guess this exonerates the Brothers Sisters.
But they never did explain why the one’s footprint was on the
windowsill. Did she visit her mentor;
look out the window and just leave? I
wonder if that will come back up. But I
did get a vibe from the writer who threw the directors under the bus this
week. The guy does have 20/10 vision
which would make for a good sniper shot.
Granted he did have an alibi during his episode, though he would not be
the first person to fake an alibi.
Tell Me Lies: I never
thought we could possibly get a Thanksgiving episode as good as Slapsgiving
during How I Met Your Mother, but this may have topped that. There was at least more slapping. Sure, it was convoluted how they got everyone
in the same place at the same time, but it was definitely worth it.
The Challenge: Battle
of the Eras: Sigh, another week, another
Era 1 player going home. So Rachel is
just the captain every week now? What if
she goes home next week? Can they no
longer send in Era 1?
Joan: Great soundtrack, the rest of the show is
forgettable. Who knew the greasy guy
from Fear the Walking Dead was still
working? I cannot remember seeing him in
anything since he was killed off.
Agatha All Along:
I am still not all that interested in
the trial of week format, but Aubrey Plaza being unhinged upped the entertainment
level infinitely this week.
The Ark: Oh wow,
they made it to the planet, but not surprising some did not stay. People gotta be on the titular ship. So are they just going to have two storylines
next season? Not that I think there will
be a next season. With Chucky canceled,
this will likely follow.
Snowpiercer: The show ends like it began, with the tailies
fighting to take control of Snowpiercer.
Apropos I guess.
Only Murders in the
Building: More Ben Glenroy
double? If he keeps showing up, I may have
to put him on my murder board. Of
course, that is if he survived the episode.
It would be funny if they killed off Paul Rudd twice. I certainly do not think the Brothers sisters
did it. And it is not just because it is
way too early to for them to find the murderer.
We still need a why and a why now.
Then there is also the how: how did they get access to both apartments. Of course if it is not them, what about the
shoes? Are we just going to learn that
it is a common sole?
Tell Me Lies: I was skeptical
that Lydia’s brother possibly raping Pippa caused their riff in the future, but
now I think that just might be it. And since
he did the same thing to Diana’s sorority sister, it seems even more likely that
is what he did to Pippa. But it surprising that we are over halfway
through the season and we are just at October.
I wonder if they are going to just do one semester this season. But it was a bit disappointing with an episode
entitled, Evil, Ornery, Scandalous, and Evil” and not overt Sublime reference inside
of it.
Survivor: Nothing like an episode entitled, “Epic Boss
Girl Move” to spoil that someone in the bro alliances was going home.
The Challenge: Battle
of the Eras: Sigh, another week, another
Era 1 player going home. This is getting
boring.
Agatha All Along:
The first episode was very entertaining,
but many they should have stuck with a new prestige parody every week because I
am not looking forward to a new Witches’ Road trial for the next month. This week’s episode really drug along.
The Ark: Oh way,
they really made it to an inhabitable planet.
Though, I have a feeling something might happen in the finale that will
keep them on the ark even longer. They are
trying to blackmail people into blackmailing other people on the ark. Maybe that is not the place to stay very
long.
Snowpiercer: So not only did the big haired scientist we just
met put the Earth into deep freeze, but he also turned out to be Alex’s father? What big reveal related to him do they have
in the finale?
Only Murders in the
Building: Whatever Paul Rudd was
doing last season, it did not work for me. He just cannot do unlikeable very
well. His character came off more like a SNL sketch. Now his weirdo Irish
stuntman, this was hilarious. Nice to see with all the big names they brought
in this season, they still held a few things back.
Ever since Mabel was kicked out of the Arconia, I have been wondering how she
would get back in. I could have never guessed that it would be squatting in a
killer’s apartment. Though It is pretty obvious the Portugal guy is not the
killer, the killer was just taking advantage of the empty room. Could the
killer be the Paramount producer? It is obviously way too early to reveal the
killer and she will just be a red herring. I am guessing she had some
connection to Sazz and that is why she was there. Maybe Sazz got her to be an
investor. But why the gun, and why point it at the trio who she has met?
Tell Me Lies: Oh Diana, what
the fork are you doing? And why do these
women keep on coving for this douchebag?
No wonder he is just walking around in the future timeline, these girls
keep on giving him alibis and covering up his crimes.
Survivor: There is always someone who breaks the cardinal
rule of playing to hard early in the game and gets set home because of it. Oh well.
The Challenge: Battle
of the Eras: Why are people still scared
of CT? The guy put on a bunch of pounds
since his last season. It was not at all
surprising he lost. It was a lot more surprising
that Tina was so good at removing nails.
Agatha All Along:
Okay, that was fun, though I kind of
wish we had gotten more parodies of prestige television kind of like how Wandavision
was a walk through the history of sitcoms.
That should have been the first
season and then the witch’s road could have been the second season.
The Ark: This
felt too much like the alternative universe episode from earlier this episode,
just with less people. Though it was hilarious
that Garnet basically ghosted the clone after they got back.
Only Murders in the
Building: Celebrities playing exaggerated version of
themselves can be tricky. I was not really
feeling the new Three Amigos after the first episode. But by the end, the Perfect Strangers montage,
unhinged va Longoria, and Eugene Levy getting punched in the face were
extremely hilarious. I also did not like
Howard last season. He just seemed
forced as the stage hand, though I like him much more as basically a thankless
unpaid intern for the podcast. Though,
now I am wondering what happened to his boyfriend? Probably hanging out with all of Mabel’s exes
in obscurity never to be heard from again.
But that was an ominous ending. Who was that weirdo on the other end? And could that be Melissa McCarthy? I kind of assumed that she would be playing Jan
in the movie, but being some weirdo might be the better role for her.
Tell Me Lies: I was excited
to get more of the future timeline in the first season, but now it kind of
feels like a momentum killer. Especially
since it was a silly duel bachelor / bachelorette party which was only done to
get Lucy and Stephen in the same room at the same time. The earlier timeline remains more
interesting. Great scene with Lucy fulfilling her promise
of outing Stephen’s secret if he continues to mess with her. But she made one crucial mistake in not
telling Diana that one of her sorority sisters saw Stephen and Macy together that
night. Now the question is, what, if anything
does she do with that information.
Stephen is not in prison in the future, so it seems like nothing is a
good guess.
The Old Man: So the old man was not hallucinated the bad
guy at the end of his episode? But I am
confused how Maeby went from having a fight to the death with her father to caving
hunting with each other.
Snowpiercer: Oh hey, Melanie is still around. But did they just reveal that the nerdy scientist
caused the deep freeze? That is a very
big twist to present this late in the show.
Only Murders in the
Building: I was wonder about that what
happened to what Sazz wrote. Of course Mabel
knows of the forensic stuff that will show you where blood (and other bodily
fluids) was. As we learned, that was the
phase that was used when they switched out Charles for Sazz. But how actually does that help with the
investigation? Hopefully this is not another
misunderstanding like the Savage-Sandwich mistake from season 2.
I have also said that I do not believe someone is actually
dead until I see a body. Though, I am
not sure if someone seeing their ghost counts as seeing the body. I guess the cops can do a DNA test on the ashes
which should confirm or not that is Sazz (though again, until there is a flashback,
I may still have a sinking suspicious that she could have planted some DNA in
the ashes). Detective William’s return
in season three cannot be topped, but her coming in with a SWAT team comes
close.
Right after season three ended, Jan was very high on my
murder board; her old apartment was even on the other side of the Arconia. Granted there does seem to be retconning of
that side of the building to make them all seem like weirdos. But at least they are very funny
weirdos. I wonder how much time we will
spend over there. We still need to meet
Christmas guy, and I have to image Charles will have a run in with the person
with the hall pass. We also need to
figure out what is up with the pig.
But back to Jan, it does not seem like she was involved, she
definitely seemed too distraught to have killed Sazz, and of course there was
the whole being in jail alibi. So, if
not Jan, who? Clearly it was someone in
the creepy room. But whose room is that and
what is with the pig? Of course there has
to be something more to that because I am sure they can figure out whose room
that is from the person that took over from Bunny.
Tell Me Lies: Ooo, two
future scenes in the premiere, there were only two of all last season. But there were none in the second episode, so
I wonder if we will get any more scenes until the final. I was guessing there might be and that is why
they shaved off Stephen’s hideous wig, so they would not have to keep putting
that ferret on his head. But why exactly
is Lydia mad at Lucy for? Does she get
her brother in trouble for maybe raping Pippa?
It did seem like whatever she is mad about, it happened more recently to
have been something that happened in sophomore year. But I did call very early that Diana was Pippa’s
secret lover. Granted, it pretty much had
to be her unless it was someone we had not met yet.
The show was a bit vague with what happened to Wrigley’s
brother. Where is he? Was there ever a follow up about Macy? It seemed like every at the party last season
was able to figure out that what Wrigley and his brother were talking about was
about Macy. I do wonder if we will see
the brother at all this season, the actor is no longer listed in the cast. Could they really kill him off-screen? I have always assumed since he is not at the
future wedding that he is either dead or in jail. I am more leaning towards dead every passing
episode.
But poor Bree, she was the only pure character at the end of
last season. Now it seems like all these
heathens have finally been able to corrupt her and she might actually hook up with…
Lucifer? That is really going down a dark
path. Now the question is, has she learned
that the person Evan cheats on with was Lucy by the engagement part? If not, will it come out sometime after the
party, but before the wedding? Hopefully
we do get more than future scenes this season than just the end of the season.
The Challenge: Battle
of the Eras: Trivia is always the
best challenge, but for some reason they really try to mess it up. Why did two people get dunked every wrong question? Why did the person who answered wrong not get
dunked? Also Challenge trivia is not the
most entertaining as it is more entertaining when they mess up fourth grade knowledge.
Snowpiercer: I
feel like I missed an episode, I do not remember what happened to Roashe at all. But we are getting the inevitable teamup
between Wilford and Layton. I am sure that
will end well.
Orphan Black: Echoes: Apologies for the “Thanos was right” type statement,
but is cloning the smartest people in attempt to solve climate change and other
major issues at the time really that bad?
Sure, very unethical to do this without permission but it should do more
good than harm. But a bad ending to a bad
show. I audibly laughed when the bad guy
killed the younger Jessica Jones only for there be another one with a bad wig.
Only Murders in the
Building: Backula!!! Though, he is kind of on top of my murder board
after the first episode. But the big
question is: is he a good enough shot to kill someone from across the street and
through glass? Maybe I should scroll
through his IMDB to see if he has any sniper experience. There were moments that I thought maybe Sazz
did not die as my number one rule in television shows, if you do not see a
body, then they are not dead (and even if you see the body, there is still a chance
they are not really dead).
I guess the Bulgarian replacements pretty much confirm it was
her, but I still go back to my number one rule on television. Until I see a flashback, I will probably
still have an inkling she somehow survived.
But then who is the body? Could Sazz
have put something in the incinerator and have spare parts to make people think
she is dead? Though the killer presumably
cleaned up after themselves. It is weird
that the camera made note of Sazz writing something with her blood, but the
killer then cleaned it up. Unless some
forensic equipment will be able to detect it.
The Challenge: Battle
of the Eras: Well, looks like Tony
Time is already over. Moron. I usually complain whenever the peanut gallery
helps one contestant, but that was just karma that everyone ganged up on Tony.
The Ark: Myonly take
away from this episode: nerd sex. I am
kind of glad this is not on premium television.
I am not sure I wanted to see a more graphic version of that scene.
Snowpiercer: It was pretty obvious on Lost when someone was
going to die. One of the lesser characters
would get their own episode and die at the end.
With an episode entitled, The Engineer, my first thought, oh, that dude
is going to die. But then they talked about
Melanie being the head engineer so I thought maybe she was the titular character. Nope dude died at the end. Why didn’t he put on a space suit thing? Kind of an easily avoided death. And don’t they need an engineer to run the train?
But just a week after saying the new antagonist was no
Wilford, Wilford actually shows up. About
time. We are halfway through the season. He wasted no time going full Wilford just
messing with everyone. Welcome back.
Orphan Black: Echoes: Really, of all the aunts that could have
shown up? If you cannot get any of the
clones, at least bring in Uncle Donnie instead.
Oh well, thankfully only one episode left.
The Challenge: Battle
of the Eras: Ugg, This could have
been an epic elimination with so many annoying people going home. Instead, Paulie and Amanda were the only ones
I was happy to go home. But why was that
stupid block a door challenge the iconic Era Four elimination? Was it just because scrawny Jay managed to be
CT? But all that told me was that the challenge
makers have been slacking for the last ten seasons.
The Ark: So who
blew up the gen three clones? Are we finally
going to meet the Eastern Allience?
Snowpiercer: This season is really missing Wilford. The new baddies are kind of boring.
Orphan Black: Echoes: So is no one actually going to check the dental
records on the dead body. And isn’t just
the lower jaw remaining highly suspicious?
The Ark: Kind of a filler episode since Eva’s brother
gets introduced and dies in the same episode.
But we did learn Eva was once part of the Eastern Alliance. Though those bad guys are not very fleshed
out, just a couple fleeting mentions.
House of the Dragon: My sister changed her phone plan which means
no more HBO for Life for her, which means no more free Max for me. And of course she had to make the change just
in time for me to miss the season finale.
Sigh. Adding insult to injury, it
seems like I am not eligible for the Hulu/Disney/Max bundle since I get Disney
for free and/or I am on the Hulu yearly plan.
Snowpiercer: That seemed like an unnecessary obstacle to
keep Layton from going after his kid. Of
course he was going to go. But I an
still wondering what is special about that kid.
Orphan Black: Echoes: I completely missed there was an older
version of Jessica Jones in the current timeline. But I guess that shows just how little I am paying
attention to the show. I am just
counting down until the season ends.
The Ark: Okay, so
the alternative reality part of the episode was fun. But did Cat get swapped back? And did they just lose some red shirt in exchange
for the husband? And just what happened
to the daughter? I am surprised we did
not see her.
2024 Olympic Games: There are plenty of dumb events at the
Olympics, but competitive breakdancing just may be the dumbest. The song selection was pretty weak. Most of the songs I made it through before
turning this off sounded just like generic computer generated beats.
House of the Dragon: I complained about the lack of deaths at the
end of the last couple episodes. Well,
we got more than a few this week. But of
course the two silver heads we have been randomly checking in on all season
ended up being the two that claimed the dragons.
Snowpiercer: A peacekeeping unit authorized to use
force. How ironic. Disappointing no one pointed that out to
them. But I feel we need a lot more background
on them and why they are stealing children.
Orphan Black: Echoes: Nice casual mention that we go to Mars in
forty years. But shouldn’t we colonize
the moon first? I honestly forgot what else
happened this week.
The Ark: So they are just going to end every episode
this season with a wild cliffhanger? Last
week it was the sentient lightning, and this week the Irish dude just disappears. Though the promo monkeys spoiled it is a
multiverse situation. I guess this is
how they bring back the generic hot blonde.
I wonder if this is how they
introduce the one dude’s daughter that may or may not have been killed. Considering how Trust brings up his dead wife
at every chance, they will probably bring her back too.
2024 Olympic Games: It seems like every Olympics I find a new
weird sport to get transfixed by. This
time around it was Slalom: Kayak Cross.
There are three to four kayaks on the course at the same time, they drop
them all from a one story building, and there is a point in the course where
they were required to capsize their kayak and go underwater. This is going on my must watch list for
future Games.
House of the Dragon: Meh, another episode where no one died at the
end. Instead Seasmoke tried to hook up
with a bastard even though supposedly supposed to be tied to a dragon until you
die. So is that just an old wives’ tale
or is that guy whose name I forgot dead?
I am also getting tired of Daemon’s This
Is Your Life every episode. And really,
after forking his mom, anything after that is going to be a letdown.
Snowpiercer: I thought for sure when the bad guy pulled
off his mask, was going to turn out to be Wilford. I certainly was not expecting Phil Coulson. I wonder if Coulson has run into Wilford at
some point. Though we are really going
to need an explanation of where these dudes were hiding this whole time. I guess there might be pockets, like that one
scientist survive at her station before being rescued.
Orphan Black: Echoes: I am confused after this episode how exactly
they made a copy of an old chick that turned into a teenager. Maybe I just do not care enough to pay attention.
The Ark: Why do I
have a feeling about the talk about loyalist to the evil chick being everywhere
will have repercussions later this season?
2024 Olympic Games: I really liked the boats and the interspersing
of the parade of athletes and the show. Though
I do not understand why there were so many non-French people who participated, especially
those who carried the torch. Feels like
NBC said to the IOC, we pay the most for this, make sure you include some participants
that the American audience knows. It was
also a bit disappointed that the Assassin’s Creed guy was never explained.
House of the Dragon: Meh, another episode where no one dies. But hey, we did get a Daemon sex dream with
his mother. That was messed up. When you are having sex dreams about your
mom, maybe it is time to leave.
Orphan Black: Echoes: Will people really be arguing Celine Dion vs.
Mariah Carey in thirty years? Is anyone arguing
them today? Are they really going to be
the Beatles or the Stones for Gen Z?
The Acolyte: Well, we all
knew Yoda was alive during this time period.
But will be see more of him on the show? It was critically panned, met with a resounding
“meh” by fans, and does not seem to be doing well by the streaming
numbers. This was supposed to revitalize
the Star Wars franchised but ended up being a muddled mess, well, outside all
the Jason Mendoza jokes. Oh well, there
is always Skeleton Crew supposedly coming later this year.
The Ark: Usually
I need a lengthy YouTube recap to help me remember what is going on between
shows, but after watching a lengthy YouTube recap of the first season and still
came away remember none of that happening nor any of the characters. This is one of the least memorable shows
ever.
House of the Dragon: Oh hey, Sheila the She-Wolf, she is not
suspicious at all. So what exactly did
she do the Daemon to see young Rhanera?
Orphan Black: Echoes: Now I feel stupid. I thought the scientist looked so much like
the French chick from the original, I did not realize that was Kira until Felix
showed up and called her “monkey.” But
in my defense, how was I supposed to know that was her if someone did not shout
Keeeeeeeerrrrrraaaaaa? But Felix added
some much needed levity. Now if only
Uncle Donnie shows up. Though I have a
feeling Donnie and Alison probably died a long time ago.
The Acolyte: Was that unknown planet supposed to look
like the planet where Rey found Luke? It
would be hilarious if there was some Sith temple on the other side of the planet
unbeknownst to each other.
House of the Dragon: So is each episode this season going to end
with a tragic death of a character or characters we barely know?
Orphan Black: Echoes: When the blonde showed up in the first scene,
I thought to myself, she looks exactly like the French chick in the original,
yet she does not have an accent. Why
would they cast someone who looks just like her? Oh, it is because she is her niece. But this reboot could really use a Alison /
Donnie type couple.
The Acolyte: Bortles!!!!!! I knew it.
But that was one of the worse kept secrets in TV history. You could tell he was the master by the end
of the trailer. But is there anyone else
left on this show after this episode? Is
it just Jason Mendoza, Sol and the twins?
The Chi: The episodes started off with a three minute
“previously on” showing Douda terrorizing everyone else in the cast. Gee, I wonder what will happen in the
episode. At least we did not have to wait
very long to see his dead body.
Unfortunately we got an “eight hour earlier” title card which meant we
still had to wait to see who actually killed him. But even that was a fake out in who actually
did it. While Douda being killed was not
very shocking, we did get an actual shocking death. Though I do not understand why you would kill
that guy considering you just saw her try to kill Douda for attempting to kill
her son. What do you think she will do
to you for killing her son? The new
kingpin will not likely be in that position for very long.
