Oh, Monday. What joy you bring to my nightly television viewing. At this present moment, that’s mainly because of Roswell, New Mexico, but I can give some credit to Prodigal Son, who is airing its last handful of episodes at a snail’s pace. Either way, entertainment. In this time of self-isolation, that’s all I’m asking for. So here we go!

This Is Us Season Finale
That’s right, in this time of quarantine, we’ve already got a show that’s done for the season, and as anticipated, some serious shit went down! I don’t think it’d be This Is Us, let alone a This Is Us finale if some shit didn’t go down. Hop on in, it’s about to be a fun read (with a bunch of SPOILERS – you’ve been warned.)

Since I don’t have too many shows airing at once right now, I’ve bit the bullet and decided to stay current with the back half of This is Us. I watched last week’s episode over the weekend and wasn’t sure if I was going to follow suit this week…but I did, so keep reading for a brief recap!
Read moreProdigal Son Winter Premiere Recap
Before I get into what happened on Monday night’s winter premiere episode of Prodigal Son, let’s step briefly back in time and remember where we left off. First, the FBI is now involved in the Junkyard Killer case, Martin is in solitary confinement, Jessica is trying to find the victim related to the charm bracelet, and oh yeah, Malcolm gets kidnapped by the Junkyard Killer, aka John Watkins.
Read moreMr. Robot: Season 4, Episode 11 “eXit”
The penultimate episode of Mr. Robot aired, and once again, I am still so confused as to how this can end!!! “Exit” showed some seriously powerful monologues and a WTF ending that has me on the edge of my seat for next week’s two hour series finale.
We open a little backwards in time, with Darlene and Elliot’s sentimental hug goodbye. He also bids Mr. Robot an emotional farewell. Then he’s off to the power plant to shut Whiterose’s project for good. But of course, we left off with Whiterose seemingly going to meet her end with the FBI raiding her home, but you’re a fool if you think the Dark Army doesn’t have her back.
Back at the power plant, Elliot just finishes kicking off the job that should shut it down for good when some Dark Army cronies grab him and lead him through halls of bodies before depositing him in a dark lit room with two computers and a fish. It’s the exact same place where Whiterose spoke with Angela. Whiterose enters, seemingly thrilled to finally get Elliot face-to-face.
They both deliver some pretty powerful speeches, but BD Wong acted his pants off in this extended scene! Recognize the man! Elliot shares that he still has hope in humanity because there are people in this world who can give him what he can’t give himself: love. Whiterose tells him they can go back and make it all better before blowing her brains out. The power plant is about to meltdown, but Elliot finds a game that he’s sure can make it all stop.
Mr. Robot tries to save him, but Elliot is convinced this is it. As the screen fades to red, we are then introduced to parallel-universe Elliot who has his sh** together and is getting married to Angela, has a loving relationship with his father, and is CEO of Allsafe. He meets with F-Corp’s leader, Tyrell (!!!), who wants to know if Elliot is with him, to which he replys, “always.” Everything in this world seems dandy, except for frequent migraines that Elliot’s been getting, but it’s of no concern to him.
As Elliot heads home at the end of the day he’s met with his typical, hooded self at the computer, to which he’s asks, as he’s been asking all along, “Who are you?”
Well, I for one am beyond excited to see how this ends! We still don’t know who that other personality is, and where the heck is Darlene in this alternate universe?! WHAT WILL HAPPEN??? Only a few more days until we find out.
This is Us Season 4 in Review
As I did with season 3, I am repeating for season 4 of This is Us. It’s just easier for me to digest this way. That, and the tears scare me. Either way, here’s a brief recap of the Pearson clan.
