Billions:
I could have sworn they said COVID was not going to effect the
show. But last week, there was an offhand
comment of hospitals filling up soon and this week everyone is wearing
masks. Well, all the unimportant people
were wearing a mask which seems all too realistic. But how did it take Bobby until the episode
the episode to realize that meeting was all a set up? As soon as Chuck did not seem all that
bothered that his estranged wife could hear and see things, I knew that he wanted
her to see it. This is because the show
has pulled this trick so many times so far, it is just so predictable.
The Walking Dead:
Oh yeah, they never did find the deaf girl. Or the deaf girl’s sister? Friend?
Like I said before, I stopped caring about the new people a long time ago
so I forget who exactly who anyone is most times. And wouldn’t it be better for Eugene and company
to be exiled than what other punishments coming inside the walls?
American Rust: After the first episode, I was thinking this was all a fake out and Billy did not have anything to do with the murder. Maybe someone stole his jacket and was framing him. But you do not burn your clothes and bury them if you are innocence. So at the very least he witness something. But why leave your jacket there? Did he take it off to fight? And why didn’t the chief come back and get the jacket? It was not well hidden so someone will find it eventually while looking for clues. But it was very heartening that a bunch of twenty year olds would get the excited for a Kool and the Gang song.
Y: The Last Man:
Seeing who his sister is traveling with, isn’t the best way to keep Y safe
is just claim he is transgendered? Seems
like an easy out right there.
Reservation Dogs:
So are the girls going to California?
The group talked about California all season but in the car they talked about
going to “The City.” I wonder if they
end up going to Oklahoma City instead.
Only Murders in the Building: Well, there goes my theory that Selena Gomez’s aunt never existed, Selena just made it up to hang out with rich kids. But Martin Short was right, that was a great line to end an episode. But Nathan Lane as the killer does not make much sense. Why finance a podcast looking into the murder you committed? Though his kid could be involved, he seems like he could be around the Hardy Boys’ ages. And as much as I enjoy hearing the boomers and millennials trade insults, as someone as in between, I finally feel represented when the detective started talking about Herman’s Head and Dwayne Wayne. I have to assume she is naming her kid Keith after Mr. Sweat. But I was a bit offended when she mocked my: the cat did it theory.
Stargirl:
So this is Eclipso’s plan? Just
get every member of the JSA to quit one by one, first it was Wildcat, and it
looks D. Mid-Nite is next. Is he just going
to pick them off until… what exactly? What
is his grand plan? He been trying to get
out of that gem and now that he has, he is just going to stay and torture a
bunch of teenagers?
Supergirl:
Well that was a very special episode of Supergirl. Remember when comic books served as analogies
to what was going on in the world. Now
they are just beating you over the head with it.
Nine Perfect Strangers:
How nice that Nicole Kidman can just torture people to figure out how to
spend more time with her dead child, Stockholm Syndrome them into not pressing
charges and lie to the police, and just drive off into the sunset while
tripping balls in a stolen car. Unless
everything after Melissa McCarthy writing in the restaurant was just what is in
her next book. That was kind of
confusing as to if that was her book or it really happened… or both? But honestly, if the show wants to pull a
White Lotus and just do a second season of the limited series with Samara Weaving
as the new Nicole Kidman, I would definitely watch that.
Wu-Tang: An American Saga:
I thought maybe there would be more blowback to those contract. No one is even going to even skim it? But it was nice of them to remember that
U-God was a member of the group. But I
kind of want more scenes with the ODB and the building manager.
Survivor:
Oh joy, the “new” Survivor which just seems like old Survivor but shorter
timeframe and even more twists. The dice
game seems silly and could cause problems especially when we get past the merge
and there can be advantageddon situation where everyone plays an advantage and
someone spins a dice. But like old
Survivor one of the most attractive players goes out pretty quickly. Meh.
The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and
Allies: Good riddance
Fessy. Never come back. But I am not sure why a slap to the face is a
bootable offence, but throwing a water bottle with malice only gets you a strong
warning. I think I would much rather be
slapped than pelted with a water bottle, especially if it was full (I do not actually
remember how full the bottle was, an empty water bottle would be fairly harmless,
I guess).
In the Dark:
Really, is the Blind Chick actually going to solve this cold case over
beads? Is this how she clears her name? Gets hired by the CPD because she solved it?
Doom Patrol:
So the Candlemaker was this big bad that was going to destroy the world and
Dorothy was able to control him within the first minute of the season? What a waste of that storyline. But it looks like she is gone, off to do… whatever
the Dead Boy Detective agency does. The
Dead Boy Detective agency that has one girl in it. A Girl named Crystal Palace. I wonder who her favorite futbol team is. Though I am sure we will see them again, they
did leave a big plotline about the demon that possessed Crystal still out
there.
But after
they diverted their attention away from Dorothy the show is back to being as
good as it was in the first season. The
Brotherhood of Evil just sounds great.
Even though it seems like they were already taken down by the original
Doom Patrol. Maybe they needed Garguax
the Decimator (that name should have been a pretty big red flag; but a pretty
entertaining dude) to kill Rita in the future to bring them back. But maybe Rita needs to die to keep it from happening
and that is why other Rita kept her from escaping? The new chick who popped a squat in the
middle of the road without even taking off her pants is from the past so maybe
she will explain everything next week.
Titans:
With just five episodes left in the season, we finally got a Raven
sighting. But did they really have to make
us wait nine episode to do what everyone knew was going to happen at the end of
season two: that Wonder Girl would be resurrected? Granted, it did not actually happen the way I
was expecting with Raven becoming powerful enough to do it. Instead, Donna and Tim Drake escape purgatory
by some mythical bridge that Hawk somehow could not cross even though Donna was
able to lasso Tim Drake. I thought maybe
it was because Hawk did not have a body to go back to, but where Tim ended up back
in the ER where his body was, Donna was for some reason not sent back to Themyscira
where her body was, but was sent to wherever Batman went off too. Comic Book logic I guess. But I thought it was weird that HBO Max
premiered Doom Patrol in the middle of the Titans, but what makes it even more bizarre
is that both shows had purgatory episodes this week.
