Killing Eve: They really waited way too long
to give an origin story of The Twelve to get me to care. And I really do not
know why the cvzy French assassin was luring fireman to kill them.
The Walking Dead: So we can
now conclude why Stormtrooper Daryl comes to confront Maggie, and and her crew
killed a bunch of other Stormtroopers because they killed some of Negan’s
people for thinking they stole their weapons, but it turned out Daryl’s
ex-girlfriend stole the weapons. Well,
that is complicated. I still think Daryl
is going to side with Maggie. As for the
other Daryl storyline, if the son got caught off and needs the money in the safe
to keep his control, how were the Stormtroopers doing his bidding if he had no money?
Billions: So
this very swanky resort has some zen chamber that flashes lights at you, but that
chamber has a window letting natural light in and an open waiting room where
the next guy can be heard talking on his phone.
How does this chamber not have its own sound proof room? This was a
pretty cheap plot devise to inspire Chuck to rededicate his like to taking down
douchebags. And was Taylor really asking
out the bland underling? I took it as
Taylor thinking about leaving the whole company, not just the party. Then the bland chick is showering at Prince’s.
Huh? Being this is the tenth episode, I
just this week remembered that Billions still does 12 episodes a season, and
with this being such a filler of an episode, maybe it would be best if the show
downgraded to 10 like most other shows from this era. Or, like other shows from this era, not run
on forever.
Super
Pumped: The Fight for Uber: I
was beginning to worry with no Pearl Jam last episode, but we finally got another
song for the end credits. Speaking of
music, as weird as it to have Pearl Jam and other 90’s alt rock song primarily
soundtrack a show that took place last decade, it almost make ]s sense given Travis’
age, but much weirder to have an Olivia Rodrigo song that is half a decade from
being released when that scene takes place.
But of all the actors they could have gotten from Billions to be on this
show, she may have been the worst choice.
She is just so monotone it is hard to root for her. Plus, as I said before, it is hard to take
the commentary on the boys club at Uber seriously coming from a writing team that
has their own boys club accusations hanging over them.
Snowpiercer: I still do not understand Melanie’s
motivation. What would it hurt to look and
see if the Horn of Africa was habitable?
If not, just keep going. But I was
wrong the writers just did this to make her the new antagonist for Layton,
instead she turned on Wilford and agreed to split the train and let everyone
decide which track they wanted to go.
Huh? I thought Snowpiercer needed
Big Alice because it no longer could produce enough heat like at the beginning
of the season. Then what was that thing at
the end? At first I thought it was a flare,
maybe set off by Layton to let Melanie know that it was safe, but then it froze
and kind of looked like a missile. Could
that be where Wilford went off to?
The Girl
from Plainville: This
show is paced weirdly. I really
do not like that they started with Conrad’s death and then set up a duel
timeline in the second episode. With the
two timeline, it makes it hard to tell when they are because there are no
physical cues to Michelle, you just have to wait to see if Conrad is referenced
in the current or past tense. It really
wished this show would have been more linear.
Moon
Knight: I came into this
show with low expectations so I actually kind of enjoyed the episode. Plus Ethan Hawke was giving me big Vigo the Carpathian
vibes.
Survivor: Why did they show us that Tori eventually
finds the dumb phase advantage if they are going to send her to two Tribal
Councils with an edit making it like it was her or someone else going
home? Well, of course Swati was going to
be the one who goes home. But that is
three Tribal and three people using their Shot in the Dark. And the third person to not get saved.
The Dropout:
Okay, that scene with lawyers at the newspaper was great. Always nice when you can toy with lawyers. I have been trying to avoid spoilers, but I
will be really interested if the other lawyer scene with the Shultz family actually
happened.
Halo: The first episode was a bit of a bore. They really should have introduced Bokeem
Woodbine last week, because he may be the only interesting character on the
show.
Big Sky: So there is someone selling tainted
drugs onder the Indian’s noses? Who
could it be? It kind of has to be the
local drug dealer guy. Unless they tie
it into the storyline with Wolf and Ronald and the sex traffickers are also trafficking
drugs.
