Bleach 36 / 2.16

Kenpachi Zaraki Approaches!

Tenth Squad Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto visits Fifth Squad Lieutenant Momo Hinamori while she sits in her jail cell. Rangiku brings her the last thing that Captain Aizen wrote before he was murdered. Rangiku offers Momo some advice about proper behavior given the current circumstances. Momo starts to read the note after Rangiku leaves.

Ichigo, Ganju, and Hanataro are overwhelmed by the spiritual pressure they feel. They try running from it but it gets them nowhere and merely exhausts them. Ichigo stops when he hears someone calling to him, Eleventh Squad Captain Kenpachi Zaraki. He looks up and sees Zaraki. He turns to Ganju and tells him to get out of there with Hanataro and go find Rukia, so that they can rescue her.

The Phil Silvers Show 4.27

Thoughts

Colonel Hall wasn't in this episode. Most of the other regulars on this show only showed up very briefly at the beginning and end of this episode.

This was a fun episode. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Bilko at his best.

Steven Universe 1.34

Watermelon Steven

Steven accidentally creates a bunch of watermelons that look like people. He doesn't know what to do with them. Something Greg says makes him decide to sell them. He sets up a table on the boardwalk. Pretty soon he has sold all but one of them. That's when he learns that the watermelons are sentient. They all start coming to life. Steven runs around town getting the watermelons back from the people he took them from.

Thoughts

This is a weird episode. I'm not sure what to make of it. I laughed a few times but I wouldn't call it a favorite or even say that it is an upper tier episode.
