geebsTV commentary:
Walking Dead- This show has a problem. Firstly, its just too much. Obviously, this is a gritty show, but it gets to a certain point where its just no fun. Especially in these current times. People are looking for escape, and seeing the Alexandrians kicked down over and over doesn't make for entertainment.
The other problem is there's too many characters for your average TV viewer. I mean, its fine for a true TV watcher like me, but these tourists who can only keep up with one show at a time, they easily get lost. Like, a couple weeks ago they were all, "We finally know the name of the lady in charge of the stockroom!" Do you people even watch the show? Its Olivia! They've mentioned it several times. And I'm sure there are a few people who are all, "Who the eff is Heath?" this episode. But it is a lot to keep up with. Like the show is wanting to show all these different communities, we saw the Kingdom, Sanctuary, a return to the Hilltop, now this ep is Oceanside.
And its unfortunate, because these people who have trouble keeping up with all these characters get bored all, "Why are we watching these nobodies!?" while there are a decent amount of people who are all, "Finally, we get to see Tara again! Will she finally find out about Denise?"
In any case, its interesting that they introduced Oceanside this early in the comics, since they weren't around for the Savior war. So rather than being a random fishing community Michonne started hanging with after the Savior war, its an all women community whose men were killed by the Saviors and managed to escape and hide. They're sitting on a shitload of guns, and for now Tara is keeping their secret. But after all that's happened with Alexandria and so many friends and loved ones dead, how long will she keep mum since Oceanside is sitting on a while shitload of guns and Alexandria currently has none?
Though to be fair, since Oceanside is so scared of outsiders, telling the gang will prolly just lead to trouble between the two groups.
But what the hell, we couldn't even hear Denise's name being mentioned? Just some pained faces and "I'm sorry"-s? They can't even say it?
OUAT- Wow, Rumpel sure drew the short straw when it came to parents. So he had a shitty father in Peter Pan, and now we come to find his mom is the Black Fairy? He never had a chance, did he?
Anyways, EQ goes through with her mission to try and kill her sister, but luckily Regina shows up to save her by threatening to kill themselves. Regina lets her evil half know Rumpel is just using her and that Belle will always be #1 in his heart. So having successfully chased EQ off, Zelena is thankful, but turns out Regina had just showed up to steal some potions, and it was just a coincidence that she showed up to save her. Which she did because she's a hero and Zelena's her sister. But Regina lets Zelena know she still blames her for Robin's death and she will never forgive her.
When it comes clear to EQ that Regina's right, she gets her revenge by slipping Belle some of those sands of time in order to speed up her pregnancy. Belle thinks its Rumpel though, just as EQ planned. So, to protect her son from Rumpel, she sends him off with the Blue Fairy.
Oh, and the lamp is empty, as rubbing the lamp only produces a pair of magic cuffs. So, to help Jasmine, Aladdin puts them on to become the new genie in order to help Jasmine out.
