geebsTV commentary:
Heroes- The stuff with Parkman is a little clunky. I get they're doing a whole karma thing with the whole getting into a car accident and the watches floating away while he's trapped. But the only way that works is if the world actually ends. So its an idle lesson. If the twins save the day, as they should, then Matt ends up facing no real repercussions there for screwing over his own kind.
Speaking of, they're trying to make us feel sorry for Erica because she was raped by an Evo, and what happened to her is indeed awful. But it doesn't justify her actions! Like, she killed her rapist even! Why is she taking it out on people who don't have to do shit with all that?! She's responsible for genocide! That bombing of the convention killed freaking little children!
Elementary- Ah, that was a nice little reveal at the end. I mean, obviously the brother was the killer, because I recognize Noah Bean, so for him to show up once in the beginning and not come into play for most of the ep means he has to be the killer. But yeah, the reason he killed his sister was because they had agreed to let their bloodline die out because their dad was a notorious serial killer. Like you don't even think about the reasons she got her tubes tied. It just seemed like something she wanted to do, but it ended up being the key to the whole case.
And ha, the Marcus/Joan shippers are prolly totally pissed! Like the previews for last week made it seem like they were secretly dating! But nope, it was just a trick, she was just secretly helping him study.
Degrassi- Okay, Esme is kinda hilarious! Well, I guess its pretty clear she has mental issues, because she's doing some crazy stuff. Like Miles should run away, she's bad news, but I can't blame him for getting suckered into the crazy.
Aw, I thought the whole thing with Maya and her mom was sweet. Like Maya was totally grounded for sneaking out, but then she was totally fine with it because her experience wanted to make her quit music. And then her mom ended up being totally there for her- I liked how she was all, "Oh, you're still I totally grounded, but I will fight to the death for you!"
The Tristan-Vijay thing was kinda awkward though! Like Tristan made the right choice. I mean, it was clear he was only with Vijay because he liked being idolized, and they really had nothing in common. But Vijay's behavior afterward was incredibly embarrassing!
As for the Lola/Tiny/Shay thing, to be fair, Lola did like him first. And she stepped aside, and only brought it up again because Shay acted like she didn't like Tiny anymore, she even checked with Shay to see if it was okay. Even so, that still has to hurt for Shay. But truthfully, if she doesn't think she can introduce him to her parents and thinks some gang thing might happen to them in the middle of their date, it prolly wasn't going to work out.
