Althea & Zhilan || Alias

Nicky: Zhilan, tell Althea you’re fine. Zhilan: Oh, I’m fine. Got past the guards, made it to the checkpoint. Even managed not to kill anyone, as you requested. Althea laughs quietly. Zhilan, smiling: At least, I’m pretty sure. Nicky shakes her head. Zhilan, concerned: There was that one guard that -- Althea: Zhilan. Thank you. Zhilan nods.]

So there's this very common fandom trope (which, admittedly, is often true to life) about how a collective shares a braincel, gets dumber together, etc. Something I realized that I really like about CW Kung Fu is that they don't do this. The Shen Family genuinely gets smarter when they get together, more capable. And this is yet even more funny because they put all of that increased competence to work in the service of CRIME SHENANIGANS (and being so good about it). If you told me "heartwarming martial arts story about a dumplings family restaurant" was actually a heist-a-week show, I would raise my eyebrows at you, but that Burn Notice pedigree shows through in the best way. Another aspect that makes it more enjoyable than the "get dumber together" variant is that their personalities do still shift a little bit when together. Especially for the sibling trio, there is still that slight edge of competitiveness. They get just that little judgey, ribbing each other on their decisions. Becoming more capable means that they are even more aware of the ways others fall short (including the people they are criming), and the writers and cast are so good at pointing those ways out with either the dialogue or their facial expressions that are refreshingly comedic.

Season 3 of Kung Fu really sucks. The plot with Xiao is so boring, and why did they bring Pei-Ling back from the dead? For Zhilan? I hate her redemption arc, it's so rushed and cliché. They really made it easy for her by first bringing Kerwin back from the dead so she technically didn't kill him, and then bringing back Pei Ling for the same reason and so she could forgive her. They even brought back that idol who was a guardian that she killed with Kerwin so she could redeem herself... Such lazy writing... So unsatisfying.

Also, why break Nicky and Henry up for no reason, especially when that plot with Bo went nowhere like we all knew from the beginning. There were no stakes because we knew she'd end up with Henry in the end. They dropped the ball on Bo so bad; they stopped caring for his character after Xiao came back. And Henry and Nicky were better together than apart. They certainly weren't interesting before getting together so why would they break up just to spice things up? There was never any spice at all, but the longer they were together the more I liked them. Breaking them up just made me like both of them less. They were so in love, but Nicky couldn't even stay single for 4 months before she "had to move on".

Moving on, they killed Mia for the shock of it, I guess? But I don't think anyone cared about her so whatever, so... I can't believe they killed Kerwin off just like that without him and Zhilan getting a last moment together. They had actual chemistry, Zhilan experienced realistic growth with him and because of him, and Kerwin was a good character. Him and Juliet were the only good villains besides Zhilan (Kerwin wasn't a real villain though). They brought him back just to get rid of him like that? I'd rather Zhilan had died with him, like my interest in the show. And why stop Althea from coding? She was still helping the others out, but it was even more ridiculous because how can she walk a layman through to how to break into the government's site? They made hacking and coding seem even easier than they already did with Althea and Bo. And what was even Henry's storyline? There was nothing interesting about this season. I only liked the elder Shen's stories, and Dennis. Nicky got on my nerves a bit. After season 2, which was so good, why did they ruin the show like this? The show was dead to me when Kerwin died for real, but it's still disappointing. Season 3 is supposed to be the best or second best season of every show, but this one was incredibly weak, like TVD latter seasons. I don't even care about the ending. Low key wishe everyone died.
