geebsTV commentary:
Killing Eve- rjv('Cold blooded!') Its remarkable how much of a psychopath Villanelle is. I mean, when she mentioned knowing Konstantin having a granddaughter, it was pretty chilling. And returning Eve's suitcase with all those presents and an apology letter? Yikes! But yeah, I figured she would try to kill her fellow assassins as soon as she could. So when she started getting all flirty and apologetic to Nadia and being all, "Let's quit the business and run away together!" it was pretty obvious she was playing her. And when she told her to put the kite in the back, I knew she was going to immediately run her over.
Anyways, so Bill is indeed dead, I think there were some holding out hope that maybe he survived his wounds. I was amused by Eve being all, "People are gonna think I'm the other woman!" Because they obviously can't tell people what they were doing in Berlin. All they know was he was stabbed in a nightclub in Berlin with Eve, and she's getting ultra emotional about it. So one could read that as they were having an affair and he got killed on vacation with her.
But heh, was it any surprise Frank was the mole? Dude was covering things up from the very first ep. Which, its funny, because Villanelle is the bad guy, but you can't help but root for her, since she's so funny, and Frank seems like a total dick and a whiny loser. So you could care less what happens to him. So they have to give V the chilling moments mentioned above so you can be all, "Wait, this bitch is crazy!"
Westworld- Mysterious and confusing! It was interesting to see Logan be introduced to the Hosts way back when. So Hanzee from Fargo and Angela meet with him as people wanting him to invest in their new endeavor. Obviously, we know Angela is a host (though part of me wondered at first if this was a real person that Angela was based on), and I'm not sure we see Clementine is playing the piano until after things are revealed.
But yeah, they take Logan to a party, which he gets mad at first, because he thought this was to be a private demonstration. But then they tell him it is, and he has to figure out who's the robot. And its ultra distracting since Jonathan Tucker is one of them. So it seems like a bunch of randoms, and then, here's this random actor I know who's seems like he's just a background extra, but obviously, he's not. Anyways, Logan looks around, and then is amazed when he realizes its Angela- she's too perfect to be real! And then even more amazed when its revealed that he's been duped. EVERYONE at the party is a host. And obviously, he's sold.
Of course, we know how that turned out. Well, sorta, because we find out more about young William's involvement in the endeavor after his first time. I guess he was really into Dolores, even taking her out of the park to play at his home. And as we find out later, Awakened Dolores knows she's been to the real world. But yeah, he tells Dolores he has a plan to "stick it" to a lot of those rich fat cats he hob knobs with, showing her a mysterious thing being built in the center of the park. That's important for later.
In the "present" (or I guess, 2 weeks before the present), Dolores is doing her thing. She grabs a tech to serve as her version of Felix. There are still plenty of unawakened hosts in the park, who weren't there at the party and therefore running their old routines. Like she approaches Jonathan Tucker's character (who I guess is playing some military guy getting ready to fight for glory) and tells him to join her. Of course, he has no idea who she is. So, she, Angela, and Teddy slaughter him and his people, and she has her tech bring him back online to prove her power.
Speaking of Angela, she's looking all kindsa hot in her current incarnation. Since we haven't seen Armstice yet this season (we get a brief glimpse of her host playing the sheriff in this ep), she and Dolores are fulfilling my hot bad-ass cowgirl quotient.
Oh, and Dolores does bump into Maeve, Hector, and Sizemore. Dolores wants them to join her, but Maeve has her own mission. And then taunts Dolores about what she thinks freedom means if this awakening of all these hosts involves loyalty to her. So they part ways for now, but it will be interesting to see if they clash in the future.
Anyways, Dolores heads to that same area William showed her in the past. She tells her cohorts that it is a weapon she can use against the humans. Wonder what exactly it is?
Speaking of William, he's just trying to get out and survive. He rescues Lawrence, and confronts the host who took over from Lawrence as the new El Lazo (played by Giancarlo Esposito!). William wants to use those forces to help him escape. But heh, seems like Robert is still lurking in their minds, as he tells William he can't get help from the robots before those hosts he was trying to get suicide themselves.
Ash vs Evil Dead- Argh, really!? That's how the series ends? Ash defeats the big monster, gets crushed by its gigantic corpse, and wakes up in some sort of future apocalypse, where a hot robot lady says he's been awakened (with a new robotic hand no less!) says he's there to save them! I guess that's an ending of sorts.
At least he was able to revive Kelly, and last he sees of Brandy, Pablo and her is them leaving for safety as he confronts the giant demon. Still, would've like a more definite ending.
Timeless- Heh, Rufus pulling a Yo-yo and Fitzsimmons! Since Jiya saw the circumstances of his death, he freaks out at first. But then he starts thinking, if he dies in cowboy times, he can't die before then, and starts taking bold risks. Garcia thinks he's crazy, rightfully telling him, even if the fate thing is true, he can still get hurt, which still smarts!
Interesting ep though, Emma teams up with the gang, because she disagrees with Rittenhouse's plan to stop the Suffragette movement. She grew up with an abusive father. And she and her mom would never been able to escape if not for women having equal rights.
But I think Lucy finally put into words what aggravates me about this show- they failed to save Alice Paul, but history more or less stays on course because Grace Humiston takes over the role. But still like with Don Law last week, or Eliot Ness, or a number of other people from their past missions, its kinda like robbing those poor people of their destinies! There's just something sad and frustrating to see history sorta changed, and those people not getting all the things they were meant to do.
Hmm, I guess Mason finds an image of Jessica in the Rittenhouse intel they recovered. Wonder what is her deal?
