geebsTV commentary:
Watching Faking It as I type this up, and in the first five minutes Karma's lusting over Liam again, and Amy is considering dating Felix. Wow, does this show know its audience! Yeah, people are definitely tuning in to watch the two of them hook up with boys. What the frick!
Flash- Well, that was unexpected! But first, what the hell, is the show not allowed to reference Supergirl?! Like, we finally see how Barry got to Supergirl's Earth, and he was gone only for an instant to the rest of them. He asks them how long he was gone, but then they just ignore his question and bowl over that part of the conversation. So unless you were paying attention (and knew there was a crossover!) you could've totally missed it.
Anyways, Cisco starts to be able to do what his Earth-2 counterpart could, and is able to open a portal to over there. The first time he tries it, Zoom detects the anomaly and is about to rush through, but luckily Cisco has a crisis of conscience and worries this is the first step to becoming evil.
Heh, Barry gives him a pep talk saying that Reverb didn't have the rest of them to keep him good, but actually, he didn't have Barry. But he totally still had Caitlin and Ronnie! So having friends doesn't necessarily make one not evil!
So we also find out about Hunter Zolomon's childhood- turns out his mother was murdered in front of him by his father, and he was sent to an orphanage, which turned him into a serial killer. I guess they wanted a parallel where he and Barry experienced similar trauma, but Barry had a family to keep him sane, while Hunter, lacking such things, turned evil.
He actually made a mistake though, since he had mentioned to Caitlin his Earth-1 counterpart's name. She tells the rest of the group, which clicks with Harry, who is all, "OMG, Hunter Zolomon was a crazy serial killer on my Earth!" It does give Barry an idea though.
They open the portal, Barry uses the chest thingie to outrun Zoom and get him to chase him. Then Barry uses pictures of Earth-1 Hunter's parents to traumatize and distract him long enough to capture him. Unfortunately, Zoom breaks free, captures Wally, and offers to trade him for Flash's speed.
And Flash makes the deal! I mean, I get Wally is family, but Zoom is a psychotic killer! I was hoping they were pulling some trick there at the end, but nope, Barry really does give up his speed to Zoom! Zoom tries to kill him, but Caitlin begs for Barry's life, so he spares him. But then kidnaps her!
Agents of SHIELD- So that was also unexpected. Heh, so the Secret Warriors rescue the team pretty quickly. But turns out Hive can take over any Inhuman, so the rest of the ep is figuring out which of the Inhumans is a secret traitor. They end up thinking its Lincoln, but its actually Daisy. She ends up killing Malick the way he saw (I totally forgot that he had that vision until they revisited it!), frames Lincoln, tries to recruit him later, then steals a bunch of stuff and runs off while using her powers to bring the base down on everyone else.
Faking It- As I said above, I swear this show does not know its audience at all. So Amy kisses a girl at a Halloween party, which Felix sees, and is all sad. But he can't really complain, because he doesn't want to date until he gets his shit together. Amy offers to wait, but he says that's ridiculous (it is!) and she waits all of 5 minutes before bumping into this girl Sabrina (wait, have we seen her on the show before and I totally forgot) and its obvious she's the new love interest. And since Karma just decided to not get back together with Liam because the universe is telling her its not right right now (what the hell does she think right now? There's no scenario where it makes sense for them to be end game) and Amy was talking about them spending solitude alone, Karma is immediately jealous and angry.
Of course, given how she seems to be Team Felix, next week they'll prolly say, "Oh, she's not jealous because she wants Amy for herself, its because she wants Amy to be with Felix!" Which again, this show does not seem to know its audience.
Oh, Lauren does move out, to a new condo her daddy bought her, but she's kinda scared living alone. Lucky(?) for her, Liam decides to move out of Shane's house because Shane started having weird hallucinations of Liam fucking his mom. Lauren lets him crash on her couch after tasering him because she accidentally thought he was a serial killer, and we know he's never gonna leave now.
And what the shit, the promo has them kissing? Stop trying to make Liam happen with any of the girls on this show? I'm sure there's a small part of the audience that's into that, but its just alienating the rest of the audience, because if they wanted to see a bunch of straight couples, they'd be watching a different show.
But speaking of that promo, so we have some weird, I don't even know what shape, because you have Amy having to choose between Sabrina and Felix, and Karma thinking it should be the latter, but then there's a scene in the promo of Karma giving Felix eyes, which again, who the eff wants that?
And it sucks, because I know the ratings aren't so hot, because the showrunners keep on dragging this shit out and putting in things people don't want to see. So this show is likely to get canceled prematurely, and we'll never see if Karmy get together.
