More TV

The Amber Ruffin Show is renewed through September! I'm so happy for her success. Her songs are awesome, and I love her skits with Tarik. Jeff Wright was also pretty good when he subbed for Tarik; the poor guy had Covid.

Meanwhile, major developments on Batwoman this week. Apparently Kate Kane is alive and recast with a new actress; that wasn't clear on the show itself, because she didn't move and she didn't look alive to me. She's bandaged up, so who bandaged her and why are they keeping her underneath a barber shop? Is she suffering amnesia and do they know that she was Batwoman 1.0? What do they plan to do with her, since they didn't respond when her dad put out a reward for information? Anyway, the showrunners are assuring fans that Ryan Wilder will continue to be Batwoman, so I guess Kate will come back just to resolve her plots with her family and the Bat Team. She's probably suffering some trauma from the whole plane crash/captivity and won't be up for superhero stuff right away. It's kinda inevitable that the show finally stopped writing around Kate's disappearance. They could not sustain that forever, since they're already writing around Batman's disappearance.

Also, those scenes which referenced the "False Face Society", turned out to be hints that Roman Sionis aka Black Mask will appear on Batwoman in an upcoming episode. So with Victor Zsasz earlier, that makes both the villains from Harley Quinn's movie. I mean, these guys have extensive comic book history beyond that, but I don't read comics, so I only know them from the Birds of Prey movie. I hope we don't get lost in lots of arcane lore, because this Coryana plot was weird and convoluted enough. Can't they be a little more straightforward?
