Fall Finale Update: The Waling Dead

This midseason finale was just what I expected it to be. Things that needed to happened, happened. The group needed to find their way back to each other and we got that in the end. I was neither shocked nor upset at who died because I saw it coming (Olivia) and wanted it to happen (Spencer). Now, I'm really excited about what's to come.

As for the season so far, I'm not too upset by it. I know some people thought it was slow and boring. Well, yes it moved slowly and there wasn't a lot of action, but that premiere was brutal and emotionally exhausting. I am grateful that they took their time to get back to the high intense action. It gave me a chance to recover. Plus, I think the job of the first half was to build a foundation for what's coming next. They needed to do some worldbuilding, and I'd rather them take their time introducing each new community than rushing it and having us wonder who in the world these people are. I really think there is a reason they're doing all of this and I think we'll all understand it in the end.

I still stand by my theory that it's going to take a mass mutiny to take down Negan. The first half showed the group that they can't do it alone as individuals or as an individual group. Now it's time to plot and plan.
I don't think that Negan will be dead by the end of the season. That is going to take awhile. Here's how I think it will go down. Maggie will be instrumental in convincing The Hilltop to fight with the group. Somehow they will learn about King Ezekiel and the Kingdom; whether they just come across their members or Morgan finds them. Either way Morgan will convince them that the group can be trusted. I think the community Tara found will come back into play as well. Once they get the numbers I think they will/should start turning Negan's people against him which won't be hard. We've seen the harsh conditions they live in and people already don't like it (especially his wives). Even Dwight seems to be over Negan. Once they do that they'll be able to take him down from the inside and the outside.
As for the guy in the strange boots, I'm hoping he's an ally. Maybe it's Heath because we have no confirmation that he's actually dead and how awesome would that be?!
Do you guy have any theories?

Fall Finale Update: This is Us, Insecure, Pitch

I never intended to watch this show, but I heard so much about the pilot that I just had to. That episode hit me in the feels and I haven't been able to stop watching. I love that we get flashbacks, and I think that writers are doing an amazing job. My favorite scene so far was the one when Randall and his dad went to the karate class. It really brought on the tears! I'm a little upset the finale ended the way it did. Why is it that when everything is going great, something tragic has to happen? I thought "nothing bad happens on Christmas eve." The only good thing is that we don't have to wait until next fall to find out what happens next.

Insecure was everything that I expected it to be. I'm a huge fan of Issa Rae and her work so I new it wouldn't disappoint. I've longed for a show about Black woman sisterhood and this show gives that to me. Plus it's real, it's raw, it's honest and I am grateful for that. The only thing that shocked me was Lawrence doing what he did in the end. I don't blame him for leaving her but did he have to hit the first girl that was thirsty for him?! What do y'all think about that?

Who would've thought that I would like a show about baseball? Surely not me, but I love this show and I'll be really upset if it doesn't get renewed. Let me tell you all the wonderful things about this show. One, the female lead, and really all the women on this show not being stereotypes and being well rounded characters. Two, the fact that Ginny's teammates aren't pigs but big brothers who are super supportive of her. Three, Ginny and Blip's relationship, Ginny and Evelyn's relationship, and Blip and Evelyn's relationship. Four, the fact that they showed Ginny struggling with her anxiety, realizing she has a problem and having her get the help she needs. How often do we see that with a Black woman on TV? And last but not least, Ginny and Mike. I tried so hard not to let my shipper flag fly with these two but by the fourth episode I wanted them to get together! Those last 2 episode were so rude to us!
The only thing I didn't like was how predictable the finale was. Of course Mike's ex, Rachel, breaks up with her fiance right after Mike finds out Ginny's got a new beau. And of course Mike and Rachel sleep together because stuff like that always happens. Other than that I loved it and will be highly upset if it doesn't get renewed.

Fall Finale Update: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Every year this show gets better and better, and this year was no different. This season we got Ghost Rider and they did a great job with that. Between the backstory and the CGI, everything was amazing. We also had to deal with the new director and the fact that he's inhuman! He hasn't fully grown on me yet. I don't completely trust him and he has the potential to go either way. We shall see with him. We also got Aida, Radcliffe's extra human-like robot he made to be a literal shield for the agents. I knew it was only a matter of time before she turned on him, which brings me to the finale.

First, I'll start off by saying it was a great episode. The focus was all on Ghost Rider and his uncle and that creepy book. But that ending! Seems like Aida is trying to make herself a human. Plus, she's done some to May and it seems like there's a fake May running around talking about sharing a drink with Phil! (Only the real May can do that!) All I know is, Aida messed with the wrong one and when all is said and done, I'm going to need to see May break that robot in half. Then the show can leave May alone for a few years. Between Andrew becoming Lash, her seeing ghosts, literally dying, and now this; she's going to need a break from the traumatic events. She may need a trip to the real Tahiti (with Phil, because I kinda ship it now) after this is over. That's really all I want for the second half. I would say I want to see more Yoyo but they're giving us a whole digital series about her, which is available to watch now. That will be the thing that gets me through this hiatus.
What do you guys think of the season so far?

Fall finale Update: The Flash

This season of The Flash has been such a joy to watch, even though we had flashpoint. So far we got Jessie Quick and Kid Flash, Caitlin got her powers, Barry and Iris are finally in a relationship, and we even got Jay helping out here and there. Cisco also got a great storyline and was fleshed out more. I know a lot of people didn't like seeing sad Cisco who blamed Barry for everything, but he's grieving and has every right to feel that way. Not everyone can be happy-go-lucky all the time. By showing this side of Cisco, they are really making him a fully rounded character.
I also liked the crossover a lot! Usually I only watch The Flash part, but this year I wanted to watch the others. It was great and I hope the musical crossover is just as good as this one.
I really feel like this season is spoiling us, but I don't care!

The fall finale was a typical Flash Christmas episode. Even though they were dealing with the big bad they were still able to come together for a Christmas party at the West's house. The only real tragedy we saw was the glimpse of the future where Savitar kills Iris. But, like Jay said, that was only one possibility in an infinite number of possibilities of how the future could go. So you never know what could happen.
Barry got him and Iris an apartment for Christmas! I mean, we all saw it coming but that whole scene was just perfection.
We also got some backstory on Savitar, Dr. Alchemy and the Philosopher's Stone. That only made we want to know more about Savitar. Like, who exactly is this guy and how did he figure out how to use the stone to become a speedster? Hopefully we'll learn more as the season moves on.

I'm predicting that the second half will be all about Barry trying to protect Iris from the future he saw, and I have a feeling it's going to be great. I just wonder how long it'll be before Barry tells everyone what he saw. I also can't help but wonder if they can fully trust Julian now. I think they should keep him at a distance. I just can't wait for the day when Barry, Wally, and Jessie are all fighting together. It's going to be awesome!

Fall Finale Update: Rosewood

This finale was a happy one. It centered around Gerald's case which was one of the overarching cases of the season. Rosie finally came around to believing that Gerald was innocent and they were able to find the real killer and have Gerald released. He also got to reunite with his daughter. That was pretty much all of what this finale was; them solving this case. Everyone's personal lives were put on the back burner. The only thing we got to see was Villa, maybe, get closer to the coroner  and, maybe, agree to go on a date with him. But, she has so many layers it's hard to tell what happened. There wasn't really a cliffhanger, but the episode did keep me on the edge of my seat. Juju returned and the plot kept thickening, and I kept yelling "plot twist!" It was fun, as it's always fun watching this show.

I've enjoyed the season thus far. It didn't take long for Rosilla to get back to their non-awkward selves after last season. Slade took some getting use to but he's grown on me and I'm liking this new friendship between him and Hornstock. It's clear that it will take some time before Pippy and TMI find their way back to each other, if they ever do.
There were 2 overarching cases in this half of the season; Eddie's case and Gerald's. I'm shocked that they closed both cases by the halfway point of the season. It's kind of like we are getting a fresh start for the second half. The only unfinished storylines we have are with the personal lives of our characters.
For the second half, I'm predicting some friction between Rosie and Villa because they're both occupied with their own love interests. Who know how long that'll last? TMI and Pippy have had their space so maybe they will find their way back to each other. I still haven't seen much of TMI's life separate from Magic City so more of that please. And lastly, Donna. I think she has feelings for Gerald and it'll be interesting to see if they take their relationship to the next level.
What are your thoughts??

Fall Finale Update: Queen Sugar

This is one of the best new shows of the year and one of the best shows on TV right now. From the acting to the directing, the lighting, editing and music; everything was on point every episode. It was especially nice to see such great complex characters on screen. Not a single person was just good or just bad. There were moments when I was side eyeing each character and there were other moments when I was saying "you betta go!" (Well, everyone except Davis. Davis sucks!)

The season finale was just as great as every episode. It really was a season finale done right. So often I see finales that use shock factor as a cliffhanger. And that's can be okay, but not when characters are being killed off or put in danger and we don't know if they'll survive or not. This finale was able to give a great cliffhanger without doing that. Charley was able to her deal despite everything that she had to do to get it (which was questionable), and now they own a mill. But the kicker is that their dad wrote a new will, leaving RA the farm instead of all three siblings. Now we have this possible shift in power. Charley took control of the farm, but now it's RA's and he has ideas that we've seen Charley shut down time and time again. So, will we finally see RA put his foot down? I know that Charley isn't going to give up the power that easily. She'll probably throw in their faces that she basically paid for all of it, but there's a will which is legally binding.
I'm also interested in seeing how Nova reacts to it all. Her relationship with Charley has grown so much and she's shown her so much more love, support and respect. I just wonder if she'll treat RA the same. We all know the two of them have a bit of a rocky relationship because she wasn't there for him when he was in jail like she was with Too Sweet. but now that RA has control of the farm, will she treat him the same way she treated Charley? It'll be interesting and I can't wait.

I do recommend that if you haven't watched this you should start. It's one of those rare shows when everything comes together so well and creates something amazing  If you have watched, what did you think of this season?

Fall Finale Update: Jane the *not* Virgin

[I have no idea what to call this show anymore and I'm so happy I get to say that!]

That finale was so suspenseful! Everyone is doing crazy things. Xo is with her ex who cheated on her and she knew about it! I think I'm going to be like Jane in this situation. I really don't know how to feel. Like, I don't know if I can trust him or not. I just don't want to see her get her heart broken. I am happy that she's living her dream by opening a dance studio.
Rogelio decided that he's going to have a baby with his matchmaker which is insane, but the Rogelio thing to do. I wonder if he'll actually go through with it.
Michael isn't allowed to go back to work yet. It's not like he hasn't stopped working though. All that proves that he'll be miserable until he can be out in the field doing real detective work. I sense a mid-life crisis coming soon.
Rafael is NOT a Solano! That was the big shocker and the end of the episode. But, we can't forget that he's also going to tell the cops about all those stolen paintings his dad has, which could land him in jail! I just want to know of he's a citizen and if he'll get deported or not. I really don't want to wait until January to find out. I mean, this is Mateo's dad! I don't think Jane or Rafael will be able to deal with Mateo's father being out of the country.
I do not trust that Catalina. I never did. It just seemed too good to be true. She showed up too quick and is staying too long to be a habitual traveler. I have theories about her that we'll get into later.

This season is going great so far. So much happened it feels like the season is ending instead of it being half over. I'm glad that Petra is back, but I wasn't expecting her to go back to season one Petra. I wanted Petra who was best friends with Jane to come back. But of course, this show wasn't going to have us wanted Petra back without making her evil when she came back.
I'm glad that Jane is finding out about her family, but I'm a little scared about this whole Catalina situation. Also, Jane is not a virgin anymore!! I love what they're doing with the title cards.
My only wish is that there was more Luisa. She always comes and then leaves for a long time. I just wish that she'd stay around a little longer in the second half.

So, for the second half I have theories. Catalina is definitely playing Rafael and it has something to do with the paintings he has in that storage. I don't think Catalina is Jane's real cousin. I think she's playing her to get to Raf. She probably catfished Jane's real cousin. I wouldn't be surprised if Jane's real cousin showed up and shocked everyone. If Catalina is Jane's cousin, that would be the worst. I don't want Jane to get burned by her own family.
The only other theory that I have is if Rogelio does go through with having a kid, Xo might get jealous. They've teased us with these two all season (maybe all series) long!
What are your predictions for the second half?
