57 Channels and Only This Is On: January 1, 2022

 

Dexter: New Blood:  Uh oh, Dexter breaking his code once again leaving a lot of DNA in the campground.  There is a reason why he does his kills in plastic, which is going to be a lot to clean up.  I wonder if he shows Harrison the body and how to clean it up next week.  Then his girlfriend is on his case linking him to two needle pricks.  Will they dust the drug maker’s house for prints now?  The last time Dexter broke his code; he broke into dude’s house, and then put his gloves on.  His prints should still be on the window.  But what will she do with the information about the pricks?  Is Dexter going to have to move again?  Maybe head back to a warmer climate.

 

Claws:  So Desna is already on the out with no longer Quiet Ann, things seem to be fracturing with Jennifer.  Is that going to be this season, Desna just becoming estranged from everyone on the show and then the inevitable reunion for the finale? 

 

Yellowjackets:  Oh wow, I did not have Van very high on my who will die first power ranking.  Actually that list was just Coach Ben and no one else.  But what is with Tai sleepwalking up trees?  Is this where it started and that traumatic experience has caused her to do it again?  And how did Tai get the totem that Lottie gave to Van?  Is the totem how Tai got safely into the tree to avoid the wold attack?

 

What I found most interesting was the talk in the car when Natalie was talking about how everyone did some bad things, Shauna disagreed and she should not drag everyone into her “pit of despaired.”  Interesting choice of words because we know there was a literal pit out in the Canadian wilderness.  Was Shauna not part of that whole thing?  I wonder if there will be a split in the groups between the cannibals and non-cannibals.  Could Nat be part of the pit group and Shauna part of a different group?  Then could Shauna and Jackie be part of two different groups because that will be a rough relationship going forward?  How do you read someone else’s diary?  Bad form Jackie.  

 

Back in present day, Misty is going full Citizen Detective by any means necessary in this week’s Misty psychopath watch.  So the reporter says that Travis’ back account was emptied shortly after he died.  That has to be Javi.  Who else could do it but a family member?  Unless, maybe, the account was not that big and Nat had his information.  Though the show has been very stingy up to this point with who is still alive outside the four main women and the already dead Travis.

 

Now it is time for my favorite part of the show: fashion watch.  So, not only did Jackie bring one argyle sweater vest, she brought multiple sweater vests to a soccer tournament for no apparent reason.  Not to be out down Mari, who seemly got more screen time this week than the previous seven episodes combined, went full eighties prep school villain wearing a polo shirt with a sweater wrapped around her neck.  Awesome.  Then poor Van, dies in a Coed Naked Soccer shirt.  How did our parents actually let us wear those, or the Big Johnson shirts (though I was not allowed to get the Big Johnson “Liquor in the front, poker in the back” shirt), back then?

 

The Book of Boba Fett:  Well that premiere left me feeling… whelmed,  I realized fairly early, that I do not really care that much about Boba’s backstory.  I enjoyed the old PlayStation 2 game, but do not really see it.  Nor do I care that much about the Tuscan Raiders stuff though it seems like we will be getting a duel timeline show for at least another episode or more.  Sigh.  Maybe we will see Obi-Wan at some point to set up his series.    

 

The Challenge: All-Stars: It is too bad Jodi did not order a milkshake so Ayanna could have gone full Daniel Plainview and tell Jodi she drinks her milkshake, she drinks it up.  But I wonder just how long this challenge took. Having to run a mile while remembering things had to take quite a few trips.
