Fear the Walking Dead: I was not expecting this show to do a teen
rom-com episode. That was weird. Though one of the teens died and the other
one is dying. At first I thought June and
Charlie were playing up the sickness to get the dude to turn off the beckon,
but it turns out she really is sick.
Which would make her the second main character seemingly with a terminal
diagnosis. Though, maybe I should use main
in quotations because I spent most of the episode trying to remember when the
last time we saw Charlie was. I think
she may have been with the group who were holed up in the fort after the bomb
went off, but I do not remember her ever being around Morgan since the
explosion.
The
First Lady: I forgot how
racist the media was against Michelle Obama.
She was so beloved during her time as First Lady; it was shocking to
remember how some tried to portray her as the “angry black woman. Oof.
The
Endgame: Elena has panned
everything out so meticulously, but she did not have a plan in place for the
president to just say fork it and bury her alive? You would think she would have Snow White
monitoring the place in case she was ever removed from Fort Tottem. How do you not see that coming?
The Girl
from Plainville: Involuntary
intoxication… I may have to remember that one.
Though I guess it is not a great defense if there is a warning at the start
of the episode basically saying very few professionals believe it is a
thing. And though I could see it coming
from a mile away, the title of the episode was Teenage Dirtbag, but seeing a
bunch of grade schoolers sing the song to Michelle was creepy but still fairly
entertaining.
Moon
Knight: While it is not
uncommon for people to create a new persona when dealing with trauma, I was
under the impression the primary creates the new persona to deal with the
grief, not to be the one who only remembers their mother and a nice and caring
person. That was a little weird. But R.I.P. Steven? Though if Mark created him once, I guess he
could do it again when he makes it to the land of the living again.
The Real
World Homecoming: New Orleans: Oh no, it looks like Julie was trying to make
up for the months she did not drink during her first visit to New Orleans in
one night. But why doesn’t Tokyo just leave? Danny also wanted to stay, let her be his
problem and let them get an Uber later.
Survivor: Oh joy, another special episode. But what makes Drea look bad was that she
voted out Chantelle and was talking about stealing Maryanne’s Idol. Seems like she was perfectly fine with
getting rid of half of the black people left, she just got mad when he closest
black ally got voted out. I do wonder if
anyone will explain to her the reason why Rocksroy was booted was because he was
trying to start an all dudes alliance. Then Maryanne was perfectly fine going
to Tribal and voting out another black person when the last Tribal she went to another
one was voted out then had to be told by Drea why she should be offended.
But I was sure Tori would be the first successful person to
play the Shot in the Dark. I have been talking
all season we knew Tori would not go home because the opening montage showed
her find something so I was extremely shocked that she went home before she
found anything. I re-watched that
opening montage and Jeff talked about the dumb phrase advantage while there was
a close up of Tori making a shocked face but it seems like I just somehow
morphed that into that she found something.
The
Flight Attendant: So are the two bodies found in the lake the two
people who were in Cassie’s house? And did
fake Cassie alert someone to the bodies being there so they would be
found? But doesn’t Cassie have a pretty
good alibi of being in Iceland at the time?
Sure, she was not on the manifest, but her FBI buddy and the person who
seat she took can vouch for her.
Under
the Banner of Heaven: I know
this is based on re al events, but the show does not need a murder
mystery, the Mormon family drama in the eighties is interesting enough. I could do without the cop stuff. With both episodes going over an hour, I definitely
could have also down without the Joseph Smith flashbacks too. Then the second had way too much dog murder.
Made for
Love: Did they really
think they could do weeks of treatments without someone noticing? I understand dude is a bit of a recluse, but
wouldn’t he need to go to the grocery store eventually or pick up his
meds? He is just never going to go for a
walk? At least he figured it out by the
end of the episode.
Halo: After the big battle last week, this week was
a bit of a letdown. I did like when Master
Chef locked the doctor up to see if she put a failsafe in Cortana, but the rest
fell flat, especially the reveal of the titular place which really means
nothing to someone like me who never played the game.
The Blacklist:
So Red basically started the episode working through if
Mr. Kaplan was really and how silly it sounds that she could be the one be to
kill Lizzie, basically saying pretty much what I said last week. But I am now thinking that the sister is
behind it all. They did make a point to
say how much she looks like her sister.
But how convenient that neither Red nor Harold bothered to join the raid.
I knew that place was going to blow up
the moment neither got out of the car.
