Westworld: So they make a point to tell us that being shot in
the pearl makes a host dead-dead right before Hale, Bernard, and Mauve get shot
in the forehead. Then five minutes into the finale Hale back to normal. So are
the pearls lower in the skull? Could Bernard and Mauve (and Clementine for that
matter) be brought back then? It did look like when Hale took her pearl out it
came out around her nose. Not that any of that matters now because it seems
like next season will mostly take place in the Sublime and Delores can just
image all the dead-dead hosts anyway. Though, speaking of Delores, wasn't she
supposed to be dead-dead because of what went down with Rehobolem last season?
So what, she could not be put into a host body but her conscience could still
stay intact?
Tales of the Walking Dead:
I dreaded watching another Walking Dead show, but how can I stop this far
into it? But shockingly that was the
best episode in the series that I can remember and the first time they ever
injected levity into the show. I would
much rather see an Olivia Munn / Terry Crews show than the upcoming Daryl / Carol
show or Negan / Maggie one or the Rick movie that got turned into a miniseries.
The Chi:
Oh, so Jemma was not shot, just the shooting got her trampled. But dude does deserve to get punched. I did get a big laugh at the guy ripping up
the envelope. As a spiteful person, I
really appreciated. But I am not sure what
was more surprising, that Emmitt tried celibacy or that he turned down
sex. At first I thought Tiff was testing
him, but she really did seem disappointed to be turned down.
City on a Hill:
Well that kid had a point about the condom. But anyway.
So Siobhan was part of a hit and run.
That was a surprising twist. Now
I wonder if her friend’s accident was actually an accident. Then Jackie sees big boss drag a drugged lady
out. So at what point does he turn his
boss in? Are they really going to drag
this out all season for him to grow a conscience in the season finale?
Flatbush
Misdemeanors: The
white lady going through all the names of the drugs was hilarious.
In
the Dark: It I absurd that the show turned Josh
into a raving lunatic and they somehow made him even crazier this week. But at we are finally getting to the episode
where Darnell gets shot next week.
Only
Murders in the Building: Oh my,
Cinda Canning has been a bad, bad girl. When we first saw her last season, I
was predicting she murdered Tim Kono and she killed him because the reason she
was such a good true crime podcaster was because she was the one committing the
crimes, now I have to ask... was I right? We know that Jan poisoned Tim, but I
do not recall her ever admitting she staged it to look like a suicide.
Then when Cinda just happened to be at the crime
scene when the three amigos were being perp walked out of the building, I
rolled over my Cinda theory to Bunny's murder and that is looking very
plausible right now. Cinda was killing Bunny while Kreps was spying on Mabel
waiting for the right time to set her up. But the one thing making me pause
that it is one thing fake Poppy's disappearance and murder, it is another to
actually kill somebody.
One theory I got very wrong was that Teddy faked
Will's DNA test, which would have been very funny, instead Teddy did hook up
with Oliver's wife. I have a sinking suspicion that Will will be finding out
this information next episode even though everyone else was sworn to secrecy. I
doubt Oliver will be able to pull off being Greek for very long.
The show made it so obvious that Jan was the
killer at the end of episode nine last season, I was convinced there was
another shoe to drop in the finale that never came. Will the show do the same
thing this season, and Cinda did it, or will there actually be a twist in the
second season finale? Like I said before, it is a big leap between faking a
murder and actually committing one. Then Kreps might be okay with planting
evidence knowing the "dead" girl was alright, but would a NYC cop
really be an accomplice to the murder? If he were that evil, he would do much
more than spar with Mabel (but really, Selena Gomez constantly making fun of
him make Michael Rappaport much more tolerable).
Then, while we learned what happened to the real
painting this, we still have not learned who stole the fake. Is that too
obvious that Lion King guy did it since we know he has allergies? When he
sneezed last week, I was suspicious that they would introduce someone so late
to play such a big part, but since the mystery of the real painting was solved
this week, I guess who stole a fake matters much less now, so it might as well
be Lion King guy. Like I have been saying from the beginning, I think the art
thief and the killer are two different people.
Motherland:
Fort Salem: Oh snap, the president coming in was
just great. Sure, they just yadda yaddaed
her getting to Fort Salem after being stranded in the Cession (much like how
they yadda yaddaed Alder escaping the cave). But after taking down the vice
president so early in the episode with the wedding filling in the rest, I had a
sinking suspicion something bad would happen considered the last time this show
did a wedding, the bride was murdered.
Shockingly it went out without a hitch, it is just that Fort Salem fell
while it was going on. Oops. I guess we will be seeing Chekov’s which bomb
in the finale.
The
Challenge: USA: Poor Alyssa, she gets stuck with Leo, and
the only thing worse than being stuck with Leo is being stuck with Leo on a
week he is ready to quit. But at least
he stayed… only for him to fork up the mission, sending them straight into the
elimination. But luckily they did not
get the Madonna question which is the only one I could not solve. But since they both got stuck on question two,
I have to wonder if they were not allowed to skip a question. Seems like it would have been smart to skip,
do the other ones so you could eliminate some choices. But thanks to Leo, Alyssa now has the most
money among the women and second most overall.
I wondering if have more money will get you any advantage in the finals
if you make it there.
Speaking
of questions, what now after they got rid of the algorithm?? For Alyssa’s sake, I hope they are not stuck
with these partners from here on out. Though
it would be funny if Tyson and Sarah would be stuck together for the rest of
the season. Maybe it is an individual game. But
would they still be doing double eliminations because with 14 because they
still need to get rid of a few people.
Pretty
Little Liars: Original Sin: When I
started this show I
complained that it was just IP fraud that barely had anything to do with the
original show. Now that it is over, I
need to complain about the one part of the show it ripped off, the dumb twist
that “A” was a brother that no one new existed.
But at least he did not turn out to be a she that dated her
brother. Maybe that is the second season
twist. Even worse was the reveal that Ezra
and Aria were still together. Again, he was a teacher who forked his student,
why are they glorifying that and condemning grooming in previous episode. Tabby and her boss got to be about the same age.
But Tabby’s
mom going H.A.M. on her boss was the only entertaining part of the whole
show. The whole blood drive plan was so
stupid, how about labeling the blood because limiting the pool down to 65 still
seemed too high. Yet inexplicably it worked because Tabby used that 1 in 65 chance
to just accuse Chip who turned out to be the rapist. What a horrible, stupid show. Of course I will watch a second season.
The
Resort: Oh hey, Luis Guzman! Oh, he is already dead. But at least he gave us the most entertaining
episode so far.
