On the CW, Kung Fu finally wrapped up the quest for the 8 weapons, but left some storylines open for next season, such as Althea's sexual harassment case and Russell Tan becoming a new villain. The writers even brought back his son Kerwin, although he's on life support. I wonder how Zhilan will react when she finds out he survived. Maybe she'll go on a quest to heal him and earn his forgiveness, or maybe she still won't trust him. Anyway, in the big battle, Nicky and Zhilan didn't unite to defeat their mutual enemy Russell Tan, but they did both absorb the biange energy and reunite with Pei-Ling's spirit. It was implied to be her real ghost, and not just Nicky's imagination. Then Nicky released the energy and defeated Zhilan, but she's still alive to possibly return in the future.

Meanwhile I found a show on Peacock called Mohawk Girls. It's a Canadian show about women on the reservation and their dating life. It's funny, but also kind of depressing because there's a lot of slut-shaming and fat-shaming of various characters. They also feel an obligation to only date Mohawk men; if they don't, they are ostracized for betraying the community. A couple of the lead women could pass for white, appearance-wise, but they still identify as Mohawk, and their tribal identity is important to them. Zoe in particular is pressured by her mom to be the perfect role model for young Mohawks, but she won't let her have any leisure time to enjoy herself. It's sad. I watched all of season 1, but I'm not sure if I'll continue with it, since I'm getting tired of Caitlin staying with Butterhead even though he treats her so bad.
