House of the Dragon:
Finally some of the famous Targaryen incest we have been so much about. Though that turned out to be very tame by Targaryen
standards. But pretty shocking that the
princess would swear on her mother’s grave when she did let her guard go to
town. But kind of icky that the king did
not believe either of their protests and still sent the moon tea anyway.
Tales of the Walking Dead:
I appreciate the attempt more than the execution of the episode. But I guess that is the advantage of anthologies
City on a Hill:
I am not sure what I needed to see less, Jackie get excited post-surgery
or the male nurse dealing with it. But I
felt like I miss something with Jackie getting shot seemingly out of
nowhere. I had to check and make sure I
did not miss an episode. So the mob is
just trying to gun him down. But it is
interesting that, with the season winding down, we get a bottle episode with Jackie
in the hospital.
The Handmaid’s
Tale: I know she went
through something horrifically traumatic, but they are making June extremely unlikeable
to the point that Serena the sympathetic one.
I say almost because then Serena had to go and use Hannah as a prop at
Fred’s funeral. But are other countries
really going to show videos of the evil countries founding founders in whatever
their version of Times Square is?
I kind of forgot about Janine and the extremely
young Handmaid. We see Janine in the
hospital, but did young Handmaid. Might
be a better alternative than being a rape doll for the old Commander. But just how does Aunt Lydia know she is “fertile?” I
thought all of the current Handmaids were picked because they had kids when everyone
else could not, certainly she had not become baby making age prior to Gilead
becoming a nation.
Tell
Me Lies: They let
us binge three episodes, ended that third episode with the shocking revelation
that the skeazy dude took naughty pictures of the dead chick, and then they did
not mention that at all this episode.
How rude. But what is with all
these dudes lasting seconds? I am embarrassed
for them all.
The
Challenge: USA: What a
clusterfork from the start with Ben not being medically cleared to
compete. They should have either brought
back the last eliminated guy or just have some quick competition that eliminated
one of the women so there would be even teams.
Or, with Enzo quacking within seconds, let Desi continue and just have a
team of two females for the rest of the finale.
Sarah got really lucky with one of the few legs that it might of actually
been better to be alone I would have
thought the eating an onion would also be a nice stage to do by yourself, but Cayla
could not even finish that by her.
Jasmine, who had to remember ten sets of numbers
when the others had to memorize five each, and Angela, who was doubly screwed
by having to shovel all that dirt (not even half the amount of everybody else, but
2/3’s the pile according to Tyson) and not being able to sleep at all. Though if the rules state one had to shovel
while the other slept, why was Angela not allowed to do the second part? Just the selective rules where some people
were allowed to time out, like Cayla and Jasmine when they were alone, but not Angela,
or Sarah at the puzzle, but no one was allowed to time out in others, like
everyone like everyone else at Sudoku.
Gee another part of the finale where Sarah got extremely lucky. Ugg, now we are stuck with her with the world
championship. If you are going to go
willy nilly with their rules, why are you doing it so someone so unlikable like
Sarah gets to come back for another show?
Stargirl: Shiv still acting very shady releasing the blackmail
evidence. But I am still going with Icicle
Jr. as the killer who was acting just as shady this week.
