She-Hulk Update

 I quit She-Hulk. I cannot take it any longer!

Andor: Season 1 Episode 3: Review

 Andor's third episode brilliantly sets the stage for what kind of show this will be. It will not be some cheerful, and happy show, it will have a lot of deaths, murder, betrayal, and following orders that seem wrong. Looking forward to seeing what else this show does.

Only problem I had was the shaky camera. I got really sick because of it. I also wish we would have gotten the Imperial Senate in this episode.

Andor: Season 1 Episode 2: Review

 While the pacing is still a major and frustrating issue with this series, the episode has lots of character development, a very committed performance from Diego Luna, and setting the stage for the action to come. 

I am still waiting for the Imperial Senate to arrive. Please get with that soon!

Andor: Season 1 Episode 1: Review

 Andor's premier has plenty of potential, and a lot of money put into it, but it stumbles due to its pacing, and lack of plot advancement.

Reminded me a little bit of The Mandalorian's premier, but I am confident that this show will pick up the pace. I also am hoping to see the Imperial Senate very soon.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1 Episode 4: The Great Wave: Review

 The 4th episode of The Rings of Power continues to advance the story line well.

I loved Elrond and Durin IV's interactions, and the reveal that they have found the strong metal that protects Frodo and Bilbo called Mithril. Something is going to happen though that causes Elrond and Durin to turn against each other, which also causes Elrond to hate Dwarves in the Fellowship of the Ring.

Galadriel being told of the history of Palantirs was a very good scene. It gives more context as to why Gandalf warned Saruman against using it, and why he called it dangerous.

Arondir meeting Adar was a very interesting scene. While I doubt he is Sauron, I am not opposed to him ending up being Sauron. 

Theo using the Morgul blade to fight Orcs was a very intense scene. I love the design of the Orcs, and they are very intense and brutal, as they should be.

Arondir telling Brownyn what Adar told him was an interesting reveal. I wonder if that location is where Mordor will be built? Should be interesting to see how this all goes down!   

The people of Numenorian agreeing to help Middle-Earth is going to be epic! I hope the fight scenes are good, and I am looking forward to Isildur fighting Orcs.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: Season 1 Episode 5: Mean, Green, and Straight Poured into These Jeans: Review

While the Avengers copy cat merchandise is great, and the tease of Daredevil arriving soon is exciting, the episode is dull, predictable, lacking in humor, and does nothing to advance the plot, which I doubt the show even has at this point.

Stargirl: Season 3 Episode 3: The Blackmail: Review

 Stargirl's 3rd episode this season ups the stakes, and continues to show why it is the best show on TV right now!

The opening with Starman walking around town and then spitting out a cup of coffee made me bust a gut. Joel McHale is crushing it this season as Starman.

Cindy secretly sending records that showed the Gambler blackmailing Sportsmaster and Tigress to Beth was interesting. Cindy is really trying to help, but she is approaching it the wrong way. 

Sportsmaster, Tigress, and Artemis crashing Courtney's breakfast that she made and then throwing her waffles in the garbage was flat out hilarious! The Crocks are still the same usual fitness buffs, and I busted a gut when Sportsmaster was giving Mike a dirty look because he wouldn't eat the meal they made for them.

Courtney trying to talk to Cameron but getting ignored by him was a very interesting scene. He either ignored her because he knows that she played a part in his dad's death, or because he is trying to protect her from himself and his grandparents.

The JSA talking about what the Gambler was doing to the Crocks, and then agreeing not to tell Starman, was a good scene. I loved that Courtney didn't want Artemis to lose her parents again. I also find it funny that Artemis, even though she wants to be part of the JSA, still won't sit with Courtney, Yolanda, Beth, Rick, and Cindy.

Cindy going behind the team's back to tell Starman what they found was something I definitely saw coming. While I understand that Cindy just wants friends, and she wants to be appreciated, that was a very bad idea, Starman insulting her and calling her a demon spawn was very uncalled for. Meg DeLacy's facial expressions made me feel bad for her a lot more.

Paula Brooks asking Barbara to help her with a speech was such a great scene between them. I love the friendship between those two, and I am looking forward to seeing them interact more going forward.

Cameron and Rick getting into it over Cameron's attitude was a very good scene. I am loving the rivalry between those two, and I hope that we get more interaction between them. I bet they will have a major fight at some point this season. Cameron popping Rick's tires was a bit uncalled for though. I also couldn't believe the ice pun that they put in their conversation.

Starman going after Sportsmaster and Tigress continues to show why those two always have the best fight scenes. The choreography in that fight was amazing. But I cannot believe that Starman wrecked an entire store to try and take down suspects, who weren't even proven to be guilty.

Sportsmaster and Tigress telling Pat, Barbara, and Courtney why the Gambler was blackmailing them was a great scene. It was interesting when Sportsmaster said that the Gambler gave them all their money back. I laughed so hard when Sportsmaster admitted he planned on visiting the Gambler to have a "Little chat", but back off because he didn't want to go back to prison, and eat junk food at the prison. I also laughed when Sportsmaster said that they are free cause of a legal loophole.

Pat calling out Starman and telling him about when Courtney thought that he was her dad was such a well acted scene by Luke Wilson and Joel McHale. Glad that Pat was able to finally talk some sense into Starman, and to let him know how much Courtney looks up to him.

Cindy admitting that she told Starman about Sportsmaster and Tigress was good progress on her part. Courtney understanding her, and wanting to be her friend was a very well acted scene. I laughed my head off when Yolanda started eating her grapes and then began to glare at Cindy. Meg DeLacy has done a phenomenal job this season, and I am looking forward to the progress that she makes.

Cindy trying to hack into the Gambler's laptop to get information about Dragon King, her father, is a very interesting scene. Yolanda is going to find out, and then she will accuse her of killing the Gambler, and it will turn into a big huge fight between them. I also think that Mike could find out, but end up helping her instead of accusing her of killing the Gambler.

Cameron apologizing to Courtney and taking a walk with her was a sweet scene. They have a lot of chemistry between them, and I am curious to see how their relationship continues to progress.

Paula threatening Barbara's boss was a hilarious moment! Again, I love the friendship between Barbara and Paula, and I hope to see more of it going forward!

Someone watching all of the activity going on around Blue Valley via camera systems that they have briefly shown in the first episode was something that made me geek out. While I do believe that the person watching the cameras is Mister Bones, I want to know who put the cameras there.

Starman returning to the Gambler's mobile home to see if there are any clues he could have missed, and then getting attacked by an unseen force was a jaw dropping ending. Perfect way to end the episode on a cliffhanger.

As for who attacked Starman, I only have three possible explanations. 1. Todd Rice / Obsidian. They have been teasing his arrival for the longest time, and I truly believe that he is the one who killed the Gambler, plus he has a similar powers to the Shade, where he can manipulate Shadows, and we couldn't see who was attacking Starman, he was lifted up and thrown around also. 

Number 2. Another experiment by Mister Bones. This could just be some kind of genetic experiment that Mister Bones was working on, that escaped his lab.

Number 3. Solomon Grundy. Somebody pointed out to me that Rick keeps mentioning that Grundy couldn't have done it. And I have seen something like this done in movies a lot where the answer is right in front of us, but we are missing a lot of obvious clues.

Looking forward to next week!
