The White Lotus: C’mon, how are you going to fly Natalie all
the way out to Thailand and not have anyone ask to borrow her jacket? Or maybe they are saving that moment for the
finale and she is the one that goes off.
Well, it is either her or the armed guards get in a shootout with the
monkeys who somehow get their hands on a gun.
I am also wondering if those gunshots are a red herring because we do have
Chekov’s poison fruit. I have to guess
that is going to factor into the season somehow. Speaking of Natalie, she and Mike White were
in a Tribe with Nick, who would go on to become a legislator in Kentucky who
introduced legislation that would legalize sex between first cousins. I cannot help but think the weird sexual
tension between those siblings might be inspired by it.
Mayfair Witches: This show going to Scotland made me think of
the time Sons of Anarchy went to Ireland which made that show jump the shark. Granted this show has always been bad. Maybe it will somehow reverse jump the shark and
manage to get better.
The Hunting Party: You can almost hear the NBC execs saying,
“The Blacklist was successful for about a decade, let’s just run that back.” Except this show is severely missing a James
Spader type to chew up the scenes. The
chick from Manifest certainly is not cutting it. Then, this week, the writers seemed proud of
the plot twist of the serial killer being the women when they wanted us to
expect the dude to killer, expect the title of the episode was a women’s name. So that just killed that twist.
Paradise: In another obvious twist, Xavier’s wife is
still alive. It is also fairly obvious
that she went to Atlanta to do something for Sinatra. I wonder if there is another bunker
there. Though the Appalachia Mountains are
on the western part of the state. And
the eastern seaboard seemed very flooded.
So that may hurt my theory. But I
am also sensing the show is going towards the same ending of Silo season one.
The Challenge All
Stars: Rivals: Yawn, are we really
just going to get Adam and Steve eliminating a new team every week? Does no one else want to go to the finale? They really need a rule that you cannot be
nominated every week so stop this monotonous.
But it was sad that Steve was the only one smart enough to point his
shield at the other team to get some extra water in their bin.
