Billions:
Wait, did the guys at Billions actually buy the Wu-Tang album so they
could have Bobby use I as a gift or was that just a fake version? The last we knew, the US Government seized it
from the Pharma Bro and sold it at a secret action to an undisclosed
buyer. Did Billions in real life buy it
so they could make it seem like Bobby bought it? Do they know who bought it and borrowed it
for the scene? This is the most
interesting part of the show in multiple seasons. Inquiring minds want to know.
But a
lot of family feuding this week. I did
not think Chuck Sr. would put his kidney over his kid, but there he was doing
just that and Chuck Jr. used it against him.
Then Sacker sets up her father.
Finally there was Mike prince using his daughters as pawn. All to bring down Bobby. Though we have seen this before. Chuck nails Bobby to the wall in the penultimate
episode, but then Bobby somehow wiggles out in the finale. Let me predict that the Prince daughters are
the reason why Bobby manages to avoid jail this time around. The show would be much better if Bobby just
goes away and just have Chuck battle Mike Prince and/or Taylor. Or just have the three do a Mexican standoff and
target each other now that Bobby is out of the way.
The Walking Dead:
So the secret room in the floor also had an escape route? How paranoid were the people who originally
lived in that house? I also have a lot
of questions about the creepy Halloween house.
Number one, how did those people survived? What did they eat?
American Rust:
So
are we supposed to believe shady drug dealer guy? His story lines up with what we know. Though he never does say that he saw Billy land the fatal
punch, just that he say him fleeing. For now I will take shady drug dealer at his word
but I think that it was Isaac that hit him. But then why didn’t shady drug dealer ID him? Was he hiding somewhere? And why were Billy and Isaac there in the first place with
the stolen money? Were they there to buy drugs and were hoping to
resell it for a profit? All I know is I could do without Isaacs travels
out west.
Y: The Last Man:
Oh, finally assumes Y is just a chick who transitioned. And I do like the weird, and kind of evil,
scientist. But I still do not understand
this escape plan. So they stole two planes,
put the two pilots in the same plane and crashed it. But is no one missing the second plane? Did they make the second plane look like it
crashed? But wouldn’t there being two
people in the one plane and no bodies in the second place cause suspicion too?
La Brea:
So does show take place in the Godzilla vs. Kong extended universe? There seems to be the same portal to a place
where time forgot in the show. Though it
does not seem to be some inner Earth realm but time travel since the husband
found the necklace. But how exactly did a
concussion make him see in the past.
Only Murders in the Building:
Oh hey, a very special episode of the show. But is it special or more of a gimmick
now? It seems like everything that attempts
to be prestige television tries one of these types of episode once a season. I wish the show only went quite when it was
in the deaf guy’s point of view. I made
no storyline sense that Steve Martin had a silent date. It certainly was not plausible that Steve Martin
could keep his mouth shut, even during a funeral he was crashing.
Still,
there were a lot of revelations this week.
The other Hardy Boy’s death was more of an accident, though Nathan Lane
still blackmailed Tim Kono. Then the Lane
family business is stealing from the dead which presumably Tim Kono was getting
his jewelry from. Despite Nathan Lane
explaining why he is funding the podcast with the keep your enemies closer, I
still do not buy him, or his kid, as Tim Kono’s killer. Since a lot of my theories went out the
window this week, here is my new one: Nathan
Lane is not the ringleader who is blackmailing Lane and then blackmailed Tim
through Lane’s blackmail, but then killed Tim after the ringleader found out
Tim was skimming off the top.
Stargirl:
The was an SNL sketch a while ago where a bunch of evil scientists were at
a convention and one of them just crossed a preverbal line and the rest were
like, we are evil, but we are not that evil.
That was what went through my mind while watching this episode. Sure, Thanos wanted to wipe out half of all
living creatures, Darkseid wanted to wipe out all of humanity, but at least
neither was just outwardly racist the way Eciplso was this week. There have been some evil comic book
supervillains, but I do not remember any of them being just outwardly racist. C’mon, Eclipso, maybe turn it down a
notch. I have a feeling all the other
comic book supervillains would be saying they may be evil, but they are not that
evil. Dude made Hour Man go to prison,
yet what he did to Dr. Mid-Nite seemed much worse. So now Hour Man is in prison, S.T.R.I.P.E. is
destroyed, Wild Cat turned in her costume, Is Star Girl next?
Supergirl:
So what was Supergirl’s trial?
Does she need the courage to let people die and not save everyone? Does she have to keep trying with every
totum? Is just going to continually fail
until the very last totem? I hope that
is not the rest of this season. But I
completely forgot about Miss. Teschmacher.
So she shot the reporter? I had
to look her up to remember what exactly happened to her. So Lena turned her into A.I. after being
Lex’s spy at Catco. But Crisis wiped all
that out and she instead turned into an assassin that killed Supergirl’s dad. What?!?
Wu-Tang: An American Saga:
Okay, this was easily the best episode of the whole series. Why wasn’t the show this from the beginning
showing how each song was constructed with everyone in a room and the weird
vinaigrettes? Instead we spent too much
time in the first season following RZA around, with Ghostface Killah as a
sidekick. The group is much better
together. Hopefully the show can now
kick into high gear.
Survivor:
It is almost as is Probst went to his team and said, come up with the
most convoluted advantage as you can possibly come up with and this three way
Idol was it. So does dude have to talk about
butterflies at every challenge or does he just have to do it once? And what is their obsession with making
people lose their votes this season?
Since no one else said the special phrase, dude lost his vote this
week. You can lose your vote if you roll
the dice at Tribal Council. You can lose
your vote with the stupid wheel is you risk your vote, though that one is now
moot because everyone now knows to discuss what to do prior to splitting up.
The
girl’s alliance was also pretty dumb this week.
Now we are seeing why women have not won in so long. The nerdy chick saw the advantage, knew what
else had to be said at the challenge, but still strong-armed everyone else to
vote for the doctor because she was scared.
But guess what, dude still has his Extra Vote, may get his vote back
with an Idol next week and guess who he is targeting then? If the other girls were smart, they still
vote for the guy with all the advantages and it would have been 2-1-1. Or just get rid of the old chick because she
is too unpredictable an hope dude does not get the Idol next week.
The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and
Allies: There is
an old saying in sports that a playoff series does not really start until a road
team wins. If feels like this season is
not going to start until a veteran is sent down into the Lair. Sure, Bamber already went down, but that
someone how did not start a free for all and the veterans’ alliance still
somehow stayed intact and there was not even retribution against Fessy. So a veteran will definitely be going down
to the Lair next week. Though even then,
the Agency could still send down two rookies so maybe the season will not really
start until two or more veterans go down to the Lair and one goes home.
But I feel
bad for Pricilla. Finally a rookie catches
on to what the veterans are doing, except she let her blind hatred of Smashley
get to her and took Smashley’s partner Josh.
Who just so happens to be the most annoying and most incompliant person
she could have picked. She could have had
Kyle, or even Devin would have been a better pick. But it is amazing, that Cory, who seemingly
got a new partner every week last season,
In the Dark:
Really, all this for the lesbian roommate to be working at a pet store and
it was the real girl being trapped in the basement? What a waste of a season. And why is creepy kidnapper just letting them
live? This whole season has been really
stupid.
Doom Patrol:
So Larry does not eat and Robot Man cannot eat, so just how exactly can
they turn back from zombies by eating Niles’s brain? That is some comic book logic right
there. But is that it for Niles? It is hard to come back after someone eats
your brain. But this is a comic book and
people have come back from worse and there is a time travel machine right out
there.
But time
traveling lady is just going to break her promise to Niles? And Rita found the flight suit that was won
by the other her that kept her from escaping.
Time travel lady does kind of look like an older Rita, though rarely
does someone gain an accent as they get older.
And Rita does not age. Could time
travel lady morph into Rita? She was able
to morph into furniture, maybe another version of herself without memory loss has
better control of that morphing abilty.
Titans:
So Wonder Girl comes back to life and somehow in the vicinity of Batman
who seemingly was trying to kill himself and now she hopped on a plane back to
Gotham without any mention of that? And are
there no direct flights into Gotham?
Then where did Raven come from?
Did she come back at the same time as the other chick who was testing
Wonder Girl? This show is just yadda-yaddaing
a lot here.
Big Sky:
Just when I thought the show could not get any more dumb, apparently the
sheriff who somehow got shot right in between the eyes and somehow survived
only to be murdered by his wife has an evil twin brother who seeming is keeping
the creepy dude as a farm animal.
Why? Who knows.
