Arrow | Season 4 Episode 23 - "Schism"

Spoiler Alert!

Another season of Arrow has come to an end, and with the episode that everyone was waiting for.

Although we kind of got what we wanted, we didn't get the end we were waiting for, at least, for me.

I felt like the ending was really poor, it was good, but I was expecting more. They built such a high storyline for Damien Darhk, just to end like this. But, I'll talk more about it later. Let's analyse everything that happened in the season finale, so...

The episode started in a really good way, with a short resume of everything that happened during the season, which was nice! But,  at the same time, not that good, because the first main thing that happened in the episode was that Damien Darhk got to steal the computer that was locked in from Rubicon and he launched 15,000 missiles, leaving Team Arrow with only 2 hours to stop them.

The next scene was one that I quite enjoyed. Even though what a lot of people have been saying, one of my favourite things about this episode was Oliver's speech about the city being united! As cliché as it was, it was a really good speech and I almos cried. I know, silly, but I really liked it and I love scenes like that so... Also, I really liked the fact that Curtis helped Team Arrow in this episode. I don't really remember if he helped last episode, but I don't think so. But in this one, he was almost the key. He was the one who gave the best ideas and, to be honest, I really like when he joins the Team, everything is way more funny!

This episode went by really fast so, the next thing we saw was the major battle,  which wasn't that major, at least, in my opinion. 

So, Oliver went after Darhk, while Thea, Felicity and Merlyn (yeah, that's right, Merlyn changed sides again) tracked Rubicon. When they find it, they see Cooper and Felicity manages to talk him down from helping Darhk. Sadly, Darhk ends up killing him through his magic. Team Arrow isn't too bothered about Cooper's death and just get into the business and try to stop the missiles, and that's when Curtis has a brilliant idea, and they end up  really stopping the missiles.

Meanwhile, Oliver, with the help of the rest of the city, is able to nullify Darhk's powers, leaving him to just have a 'body to body' fight.

Of course Darhk's men come in action and that's also when the cittizens come in action. While the citizens fight Darhk's men Oliver battles Darhk and... Yeah, he ends up killing Darhk, which was what all of us wanted but... It just felt anticlimactic. It was so easy, even though we saw a big fight. I was just expecting something bigger, and I know most people were expecting it too.

And, the only thing that was kind of surprising to me was the fact that Lance, Thea and Diggle, after all of this, decide to leave the Team and go live a 'normal' life. Of course they are coming back, because none of those actors are leaving the show, but still... It was a little bit surprising for me.

Then, we just see Oliver turning to be the Mayor of Star City, which I quite liked and the very last scene, between Oliver and Felicity was another of my favourite scenes of the episode, when Felicity asks Oliver if he thought she was going away as well and then saying 'Not a chance', which just warmed my heart.

And that was basically it. Once again, there was flashbacks but still not important. I feel like this season the flashbacks were so unecessary...

Anyway, this were my thoughts about the Season Finale.

Overall, a season finale a little bit disappointing, although it was a good one.

Let me know what did you think about the Season Finale. Were you guys also expecting something bigger? Tell me everything.

Until next season!

Love,

Daniela.

Arrow | Season 4 Episode 22 - "Lost in the Flood"

Spoiler Alert!

Omg, this episode!

First of all, I wanna say I'm sorry for being a little bit late with this rant, but it wasn't possible for me to update either on Thursday or Yesterday so... Yeah, it's here today.

Second, what an episode! Sure it didn't end as the previous one, they couldn't end like that again, but it sure was an intense episode.

I got to say that my favourite thing about this one was seeing everyone working together, Thea (a little bit more in the end of the episode), Oliver, Diggle, Felicity, Noah, Curtis and Lance, and maybe even Donna. That sure was a big part of the episode for me. And, I also really liked the fact that they're brigging a lot of old characters, such as Cooper, which is quite nice because I really like Nolan Gerar Funk.

And, talking about Cooper... That was exactly how the episode started, Damien trying to get an hold of Rubicon again and, for that, brigging Cooper to his side. Of course he helped him, afterall, he is 'evil'.

He almost wins this 'fight' but Curtis, Felicity and Noah were working together on this, which he wasn't expecting so, Team Arrow won this fight!

Meanwhile, Oliver and Diggle find out where Thea has been staying and go after her, to save her. What they weren't expecting was that Thea has already been drugged by Malcolm, so she turns against Oliver. Luckily, Oliver gets her back to herself and soon she gets back to the Team Arrow side, against Malcolm and Darhk, of course.

That's when Lonnie appears, again. I knew he wasn't dead, he couldn't, there was more to his character.

Anyway, so Lonnie is taking over H.I.V.E.'s command center and taking hostage Ruvé and her daughter. But not just that. He also says that he's going to destroy the underground town where they have been staying. 

Malcolm and Team Arrow then Team up, not that Malcolm really wanted to, but because he was outnumbered and so he tries to get everyone that is in that town to escape while Team Arrow deals with Lonnie.

Let's just saying things don't really work out like they wanted and they end up exploding with the town, Lonnie escapes, just like all the Team Arrow, but Ruvé ends up dying, which I quite liked, to be honest. Team Arrow manages to save her daugther, thought.

And, this is when we see how evil Darhk is!

Even without a town where he can hide, he decides that he's going through with his plan and he's going to get an hold of Rubicon again and destroy and entire planet!

And, that's when he appears at Oliver (and Felicity's) house while she (Felicity) is there with her mum and Curtis. And, the episode just ended like that!

I seriously don't know how all of this is going to end, so I'm pretty excited for the season finale! Also, I think I'm going to live tweet during the finale so, come live tweet with me!

And, yeah, that's basically it. The Flashbacks wheren't really a big thing for me, they never really are so, I'm not going to talk about them.

So, let me know your thoughts about this episode and tell me your predictions for the season finale.

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 5 - "Like a Sheep Among Wolves"

Spoiler Alert!

I gotta say this again, this series gets better and better!

And, even thought you might think that I'm sad with the news that we got last week, I actually am not. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, last week it was confirmed that Containment will only have one season, this one. It looks like it was their plan all along, that's why they launched it as a limited series event, but they were still thinking if they should have a second season or not and, even though it had more views than iZombie, which is the series Containment is 'replacing', I guess it wasn't just enough and so, last week, they officially cancelled the series.

So, as I said before, I'm not sad about it. I always said, even in my rants, that I didn't see the series going as far as one season. Yes, it is a great story, but that is it, a great story for one season.

And yeah, I think I've talked too much already so... Let's get into the proper rant.

This episode got me with all the feels! I must say it was my favourite episode so far, and not just because Chris Wood looked super hot in this one (but it was a little bit because of that).

So, basically, the episode was all about getting food to the people inside the cordon and, oh man, how much trouble that simple job brought.

First, Lex was kind of 'fired' from being the 'front man', which is now their 'boss' (excuse me, but I just can't remember his name).

Then, just all the food drop thing was a lot of trouble. People were already getting hungry, like real hungry, so they just couldn't wait to get their food. But, that wasn't the big problem. The big problem was the gang that took over Teresa and her mum's supermarket last episode. They've heard about the food drop, of course, everyone did because everyone was supposed to go there to get  one box, but that gang thought they were better than everyone and got there and stole all the boxes. 30% of the people inside the cordon still got their box but the majority didn't, because those assholes stole them all! 

Seriously, you don't know how pissed I am! Even if all the virus thing wasn't enough, that gang had to show up and ruin everything. I was feeling the exact same thing as Jake was! I was really really pissed!

And then, after all of this, we also kind of fnd out that they have all been lying to us (watchers and characters). It looks like patient zero, wasn't really patient zero. 

Katie starts looking and even go and asks Dr. Cannerts who clearly lies to her. Turns out it was Dr. Sanders or her husband who were the patient zero, or even someone else! Katie finds out that they died before they find about patient zero, which means they got infected first! And she also find out that the documents and video tapes have been erased, which means, someone is clearly keeping something secret.

So, it looks like the doctors, the feds and who knows who else, are all together, lying about something. And, the truth is, I never really paid attention to this. I guess it just passed through me because I didn't realise that Dr. Sanders was infected before patient zero. I guess I got to pay more attention to the details.

And yeah, that was basically it. But, I think I should mention some other things that I quite enjoyed in this episode, afterall, it is my favourite episode so far!

One of those things that I really liked was all the Lex and Jana relationship. I think I always mention this in my rants, but they are just so cute, even thought they weren't really together in the episode!. And you know I'm all about the ships! 

Something that I also enjoyed was the fact that Jake kind of admitted that he loves Katie and, once again, I'm all about the ships so...

Oh, and that last scene when Jake is burning the body of his cop friend and the other little girl, damn that scene was intense! I felt so sorry for Jake and so sad as well... And then, at the same time, I just couldn't stop thinking how hot Chris looked in that scene. I know, inappropriated timing but, I just couldn't help it!

And yeah, I think this concludes my rant about this episode!

So far, my favourite episode, for sure!

Let me know what did you think about this episode and I'll see you next week with a new one.

Love,

Daniela.

The Vampire Diaries | Season 7 Episode 22 - "Gods and Monsters"

Spoiler Alert!

Sadly, one more season of TVD has come to an end and with an unexpected ending.

I must say, it wasn't their best season finale, but I think it built a really good story for next season, which is probably going to be the last one of the series, unfortunately.

I feel like this episode was split into two storylines, the first one being about 'freeing' Bonnie from being the huntress and the second half of it being about The Armory.

So, the episode started with Enzo, Damon, Stefan and Caroline trying to come up with a plan to get inside the Armory to get to the everlasting and, consequently, kill him, this way, stoping Bonnie from killing all of them. I mean, all of them apart from Stefan. Damon even said a line that I found quite funny, saying that if the plan didn't work there was Stefan left to tell everything to Elena. Wouldn't it be funny to see Stefan to only one left? Anyway...

While they come up with a plan, Bonnie, with Matt, go after them, starting with Caroline. Let's just say stuff happens and Matt and Bonnie end up having an accident. Of course, nothing happened to Bonnie, because she's still linked to the everlasting, but Matt ended up injured. Surely, Bonnie didn't stay there with him and went after her friends again.

Meanwhile, Damon is still trying to figure out a plan to break the spell that Bonnie created to lock The Armory and, after the first plan didn't work, he thinks about a new plan, which involves the twins, Alaric's daughters, to siphon the magic. I knew this was going to happen eventually, and it was quite interesting to see the twins 'in action'. Interesting and cute, all the scene between them and Caroline and Alaric, it was pretty cute!

Once again, back to Matt... He's about to die and, in that moment, all I could think about was 'not him too'. I'm so tired off all this deaths, mostly the ones from The Originals that I couldn't deal with another death. Luckily, he regains his consciousness.

The twins end up opening the Armory and Damon and Stefan get inside. While Damon and Stefan get rid of the everlasting, Enzo lures Bonnie into his cabin, almost ending up dead. 

For me, that Enzo/Bonnie scenes was one of the best this episode, but again, I'm such a Bonenzo shipper that it was obviously going to be one of my favourite scenes.

Inside the Armory, Damon and Stefan finally find the vault and then, Damon decides that he should be the only one to get in. Damon gets inside the vault and, at first, everything is going on fine. He kills the everlasting, Bonnie doesn't kill Enzo and all their marks disappear, which means, Bonnie is no longer the huntress.

Outside the Armory, Stefan, Caroline and Alaric are still waiting for Damon and that's when Caroline finds out that her mark disappeared and the first thing that she does is run to Stefan, which leaves Alaric kind of sad.

In that moment, I really felt sad for Alaric. Poor guy, never gets the girl. And, in that moment, Caroline and Alaric have the talk in which he says that he's leaving with the girls but that she should stay with Stefan. He knows that she still loves him and, even thought he (Alaric) loves her too, he knows that they wouldn't work and yeah... He leaves and Caroline stays with Stefan, waiting for Damon to get out of there.

After killing the everlasting, Damon calls Stefan, telling that he did it and he's leaving the vault and then, calls Bonnie, in which she ends up forgiving him. When he's about to leave, he hears Elena's voice inside the vault and starts doubting the fact that she his somewhere else, that she is safe and decides to 'follow' the voice.

And that's when things go down. 

Something overpowers him and we don't really know what happened to him.

Also, I thought that what was inside the vault was some type of 'spirit', but it seems like it is actually something 'real', like, it has a form, it isn't just a spirit.

Anyway, as they are afraid of what might happen to Damon, everyone rushes inside the Armory and, since Enzo is the only one able to get inside the vault, because he's the only one part of the Armory family, he gets inside and finds a really strange Damon. And, the thing inside the vault ends up overpowering Enzo as well. And that's where everything in real time ends.

After that, the very last scene of the episode, is a flashforward, in which we see what happened to everyone in three months time.

Everyone is looking for Damon and Enzo and after a while, Alaric manages to crack the code to get inside the vault, just to find it empty, no Damon or no Enzo, not even their bodies.

We also learn that Bonnie's magic never came back to her, which makes her feel powerless.

After a while, they start getting reports of people going missing and they realize it's them, Damon and Enzo, the down side is, they don't know where to look for.

Turns out, it really is them. Damon and Enzo have completely lost their humanity and they have been killing people just for sport.

And, the very last scene is Stefan writting in is journal, for Elena, telling her everything that is happening and, everything that Damon have been doing all this time, isn't his fault. And yeah, the end of Season 7.

Overall, it was a good episode but, to be honest, I was expecting a lot more! Basically, the only 'surprising' thing was Enzo getting 'brainwashed' as well, because we all knew that things would go wrong for Damon. The good part is that I can see this devoloping a great storyline for next season, so I'm excited for that.

And, as usual, I have to rant a tiny bit about The Originals. Luckily, this wasn't The Original's season finale, which means, we still have one more episode, whihc is going to be great, I feel it! About this episode, this was an exciting one, but still a sad one. We had to see Davina go, again, which was so sad. But, spoiler alert , Marcel is going to be the beast that's going to take down the Originals so... Excited for that!

Yeah, so... This is the last rant of TVD for a while, which is kind of sad and, since I'm not doing The Originals rants, next week I will only have two rants for you. But, if you want me to rant about The Originals season finale, tell me in the comments and I'll gladly rant about it!

Anyway, tell me in the comments your thoughts about this TVD season finale and, we'll see eachother, with a new TVD rant, in a few months.

Love,

Daniela.

Arrow | Season 4 Episode 21 - "Monument Point"

Spoiler Alert!

I feel like I say this a lot but, once again, I felt like this episode was kind of a filler episode. 

I know this was an important episode to understand the last two ones but still, I felt like it was a little bit boring and, for that reason, a little bit of a filler.

Nonetheless, it did have some cool things like, for example, the return of a lot of characters, such as Lonnie and Felicity's dad, Noah aka The Calculator.

So, the episode starts right where the previous one left off, which is kind of new. I believe not much of Arrow's episode start that way so, a point for this episode. Anyway, so, Darhk is taking over the world's nuclear missles and, of course, Team Arrow is thinking of a way to stop Darhk, and that's when they face the fact that they might need someone else's help, and that someone else is no other than Felicity's dad.

Obviously, Darhk knows that Felicity's dad might be able to stop him so he send two other characters that we know well, Danny Brickwell and Michael Amaro, to kill him.But, obviously, Team Arrow arrives there in time to 'save' Felicity's dad.

Noah (Felicity's dad) agrees to help them but he needs something that Felicity has in Palmer Tech, and that's when Felicity (and Team Arrow) face another problem. Felicity ends up being fired from the company and so they have to work on a plan to get that thing that Noah needs to help them.

And, you might have already guessed by now (or already know because I assume you've watched the episode before reading this) Team Arrow gets what he needs.

Later, that's when things start getting (even) worse. H.I.V.E. finds out where the Team are when Noah hacks into "Rubicon"and go after them. Felicity and Noah end up being attacked, even though everyone outside were fighting to keep Darhk's men from getting in, which messes everything up.

They manage to stop all the missles but one, which is heading to Monument Point. 

That's when something that I wasn't really expecting happen.

Ok, the missle didn't detonate in Monument Point but it ends up detonating in other city, because that was the only thing Felicity was able to do, redirect it to a less populated town.

Usually we see everything 'ending up fine' but this time Team Arrow couldn't stop it for good. Yes, they managed to make it less damaging but still. That I wasn't expecting.

And, something else that I wasn't expecting was the very last scene, when Oliver finds where Darhk is hiding and we see all that magic around Darhk and going inside him.

That was a huge cliffhanger!

Than, appart from all that, we had some flashbacks, as usual.

We see more about the idols but, to me, anything really important or exciting.

Oh, also, about Lonnie's appearance.

In this episode we also see a little bit of what's happening inside the place where Thea is. Turns out that's not a place to keep Thea locked, but a place for everyone that Darhk thinks that deserves to live and so they're protected from all the nuclear missles. Of course, Thea is there because of Malcolm.

And so, Lonnie ends up there because he's after Darhk. Malcolm finds out about Lonnie and so he 'teams up' with Thea to try and stop Lonnie. She ends up stopping him but, to be honest, how don't really know what really happened to him. We see him laying on the ground, but still alive, and that's the last we see of him in this episode.

I think we might see him in the next episode because I think he might be the one to get Thea out of there to join Team Arrow to help save the world.

And yeah, this are my thoughts about this episode.

Let me know in the comments which are your thoughts and what are your predictions for the last two episodes of the season.

Until then...

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 4 - "With Silence and Tears"

Spoiler Alert!

I swear to god, this was the most emotional episode ever! Ok, it wasn't the most emotional one ever, but it sure was the most emotional so far on this series.

I feel like with this episode I got to get to know every character even better and fall in love with their story, even with Leo.

I liked specially Lex and Jana's relationship and Jake and Katie's. Sure, Jake and Katie aren't together yet but this episode made me ship them even harder! Just to think that before the show started I hated the thought of them together and now... I'm here rooting for them to get together. But just after all of this virus thing end, because I don't want my dear Jake to die.

Ok, enough rambling and let's get in to the actual episode (even though all I talked about is related to the episode but... you get it.)

Things are getting worse and better at the same time in and outside the cordon. 

The episode starts with a message from Lex to the people inside the Cordon saying that the fact that they shut down phone connection and internet connection is actually making the kills drop, which is a good thing. The down side is that Lex is starting to doubt all that Dr. Lommers have been telling him and I could see him struggling with the fact that he couldn't reach Jana and, truly, all he wanted was to know that she's fine and be with her during all of this.

I'm gonna jump a little bit ahed and say that they eventually end up talking on the phone, because Jana is super duper smart and she manages to get a phone connection and they talk a little bit. Not enough, though but it was nice for both of them to hear each others voice. And, in the very end of the episode, we see Jana at the window with a sign saying "I Love You Lex" and a drone that is watching the inside of the cordon is 'filming' it and  Lex ends up seeing the sign. It was such a cute moment! I even cried!

Meanwhile, Jake and Katie start to develop a bigger connection. Jake is even getting close to her son.

This episode truly showed us who Jake really is and this is exactly how I imagine Chris Wood to be. I don't really know why. I mean, I know a little bit how he is, because I've met him before, and in a way, he is a bit like Jake. Chris Wood is really caring and he really shows appreciation towards us, fans and, in a way, Jake is like that too, he just doesn't show his 'affection' that often. But, deep down, he is a caring person, a person who cares about others. 

I could keep going with all this but I think you got the point.

So, this episode made me fall in love even more with both Jake and Chris Wood and I'm starting to like Jake more with each episode!

And, like I said before, I even started to understand Leo's point. 

I think I should also mention a big part in this episode, which was the fact that Xander, Teresa's boyfriend tried to get inside the Cordon, failed it but, with Leo's help he got in and he basically made a deal with Leo. Leo would help him get inside the cordon and, in exchange, Xander would tell him how his friends inside the cordon are. In the end, we see that Leo's friends dies with the virus and, in that moment, I felt really bad for Leo. 

In the end, just Dr. Lommers (who wasn't even in this episode) is 'fine' with all this.

Also, that gang that tried to rob Teresa and her mum tries to do the same again but some other gang intervenes and basically gets in charde of the supermarket.

Overall, this was a really good episode! I really liked it, even though I feel like not much happened. I feel like, comparing this one with the previous one, this one was a lot more soft, even though we got deep in to the character's relationships.

Tell me what you guys thought of this episode and I'll see you tomorrow with a new Arrow rant.

Love,

Daniela.

The Vampire Diaries | Season 7 Episode 21 - "Requiem for a Dream"

Spoiler Alert!

I can't believe next episode is going to be a season finale.

This season have gone by so fast!

But, anyway, that's not what I'm here to talk about. I'm here to talk about how this episode was... and how amazing it was!

Once again, this episode was directed by Paul Wesley, and he also does an amazing job with 'his' episodes and, of course, this one wasn't exception.

The episode begins with a rather weird scene. Were were 'inside' Bonnie's head and we were seeing everything that she ws going through and, for moments, I believed that everything that was happening was true but, luckily, it wasn't. Nonetheless, the things didn't really go that well.

So, it seems like Bonnie is struggling to wake up. She's fighting the urge to kill all her friends and she even rather die than wake up and be after all of them. 

In order to wake her up, they decide to get inside her head, as a dream, and try to wake her up. Let's just say that basically all of them have to try it. Caroline is the first one though. They thought that, because she was Bonnie's friend before she became a vampire, that might make Bonnie see that Vampires aren't that bad and maybe she would wake up and not want to kill them. Well, the things don't go as plannes. She ends up stabbing Caroline, in the dream, but Caroline ends up marked by it in the real life, which means, when Bonnie wakes up, she will be the first person Bonnie will go after.

Stefan warns Caroline about that but she just doesn't care and Stefan ends up 'vervaining' her and kidnaping her.

So, since Caroline couldn't wake Bonnie up, the 'next one in line' was Enzo. Enzo's her boyfriend and that might work. (By this time, I knew that it would be Damon the only one to wake her up but... Let's just keep going.) They have a pretty cute moment in the dream (Bonnie and Enzo) but... She ends up stabbing him anyway and, well... Enzo is marked, just like Caroline. 

The last one to try is Damon, and Damon tries a different approach, which I quite liked! He makes her so angry saying a lot of things about the good times he had with Elena and Bonnie ends up trying to kill him and then... She wakes up!

Well, it wasn't the best thing to do, to be honest, but at least it worked.

Bonnie wakes up pretty angry at Damon and, even though she didn't mark him, she's going after him first. And that's when Matt comes into 'action'. He tries to change her mind and, he kind of does, apart from Damon. Bonnie tells Matt that she won't go after any of them but only if they (her and Matt) kill Damon first. Matt agrees with it, just for us to find out later that it was kind of a trap and, when she's about to kill Damon, Matt shots her with something to put her down (not kill her).

Anyway, meanwhile all of this is happening in Mystic Falls (yes, that's right, we are back to Mystic Falls), Stefan tries to make Caroline understand that she has to run, because Bonnie is after het, but Caroline doesn't want to. She ends up, then, realizing that Stefan was right and they finally have that talk that everyone (apart from me) were waiting for and so, Stefan and Caroline get on the run.

To end it all, we see that might be a chance that Bonnie get back to her old self. 

Enzo finds out that, if they unlink Bonnie's life to the last everlasting, that might break the link that she has with Rayna and make her stop going after vampires and just be the witch Bonnie that she is. But, the thing is, the last everlasting is inside the armory and... well... They opened the vault and god knows what was inside it. And I'm sure that's where the next season is going to!

I always thought that vault storyline was pretty interesting and I'm almost 100% sure that that is going to be the main storyline for next season so, my predictions are that they will break the link betweetn Bonnie and Rayna, and Bonnie will be back to her old self but something really bad is going to happen while they are inside the Armory.

And that was what happened in The Vampire Diaries. But, I always have to talk a litte bit about The Originals so... here are my thoughts.

I'm so mad about it right now! This episode left me really mad and sad at the same time! I predicted that they would kill Davina but... I never thought it would really happen! And not like this! Plus, they had to kill my two favourite characters, Davina and Lucien! Seriously, so done! When I thought that this is going to be my favourite season... I mean, it still is but... I just can't believe Lucien is really dead. And, even thought I never really liked Marcel, I'm so in Marcel's side right now. I just want, at least, Freya dead and, well.. I don't really want Klaus or Elijah or Kol dead but... I'm so mad at Elijah right now too that... I don't even know anymore...

Anyway, you got it already so, let me know in the comments your thoughts about both The Vampire Diaries and The Originals episodes and please, tell me I'm not the only one that loved Lucien!

That's it. We'll see you next week the TVD's Season Finale (can you hear me crying?!)

Love,

Daniela.

Arrow | Season 4 Episode 20 - "Genesis"

Spoiler Alert!

With only 3 more episodes left, Arrow presented us, this week, with a pretty different and, for me, pretty exciting episode.

I loved this episode because of the fact that you got to see Team Arrow act on their own like, they were apart for most of the episode and I think that's pretty cool. Also, all the magic thing is pretty damn cool too and, of course, we got some little Olicity scenes which were enough for me. Of course I wanted more but... It wouldn't make sense if something more happened.

Anyway, I think I should get in to the actual rant.

Right at the beginning of the episode we see Darhk kill two of the remaining board members of H.I.V.E. Starting with a bang! So, you can basically see where this is going.

In this episode, like I said before, we got to 'play' a little bit more with magic so, of course, there was another mention of Constantine. Unfortunatelly, he wasn't in the episode but someone else was. So, in order to beat Darhk, Oliver (and Felicity) go meet a shaman called Fortuna, who's going to teach Oliver about dark magic and how he can beat it.

We got to learn more about Darhk's magic and, of course, how Oliver can fight it. So, it seems like, as we already know, Darhk's magic comes from dark and death so, in order to defeat him, Oliver had to channel light and hope, which we learn isn't that easy to Oliver, because he's dark side is too strong, and Fortuna even give up and tells that to Oliver, that there's nothing he can do.

Right in that moment, all I could think was that maybe Felicity could defeat Darhk, and that would be a major plot twist! But then, I remembered that she couldn't because she doesn't have the tattoo that Constantine gave to Oliver, because that's why Oliver might be able to fight Darhk.

While all of this is happening in Hub City, in Start City Diggle is dealing with Andy. 

He finds him (Diggle finds Andy) and goes after him, which doesn't go too well. Diggle ends up captured. He manages to get out but, we learn after that it was Andy/Darhk's plan all along, so they could put a tracking device on Diggle and find out where Lyla and Sara were hidding.

Let's just say that Darhk ends up finding them and that's when the Team reunites again...Kind of.

Felicity helps Diggle with Sara and then Diggle goes (again) after Andy. He ends up killing Andy, which was kind of a shock to me! I really wasn't expecting him to kill his brother, even though I wished he would because you really couldn't trust him!

And, while this is happening, Darhk gets to Layla to steal, what we find out later, a control device to the world's nuclear weapons. Oliver ends up showing and that's when we see him fight Darhk with his light, which left Darhk really surprised! He manages to knock Darhk down and then leaves with Layla to get her to a safe place.

With all of this happening, you might be wondering, where is Thea?

Well, let's just say that that was the weirdst part of the episode. It was cool, but weird. I kind of felt like it didn't belong to Arrow, this didn't match the show but... yeah...

So, Thea thinks that she's on holiday with Alex. In fact, she's in an underground city. 

It seems like Alex have been taking the yellow pills that Darhk gives to the ones he's in control off, and that's basically how Thea ended up there.

She finds out because of the things that keep repeating like the sounds of birds and etc. She later tried to escape and that's when she runs into an eletric field. That scene reminded me a lot of The Hunger Games and I just can't keep thinking that they must have taken that scene from The Hunger Games because it looks so much like the arena from Catching Fire. Seriously! Please, tell me I'm not the only one that thought about that.

Anyway... The last thing that I have to mention is that the Team (and ourselves too, kind of) find out what's Darhk's plan. He's planning on detonate nuclear weapons all over the world and built a new one over the ashes.

I feel like the next three episodes are going to be huge so I can't wait for them!

Let me know your comments about this episode! In my opinion, it was a pretty cool episode. A little too 'fantasy like' maybe but, overall, a great episode.

And yeah, I'll see you, hopefully, tomorrow with a new TVD rant (don't forget to live tweet with me tonight!)

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 3 - "Be Angry at the Sun"

Spoiler Alert!

I swear, this series gets more and more intense with each episode!

This episode was, by far, the most intense one, which I quite enjoyed, in a weird way. Also, I really liked the fact that Chris Wood had a lot of screen time! I mean, he always does but I think he had a bit more in this episode.

Also, with this being the 3rd episode of the series, I now finally start developing proper feelings about each and every character. Until now, I've been just getting used to the characters and trying to understand them and now, I finally have a little bit of an opinion.

Of course Jake is one of my favourites, but I also really like Lex and Jana, and also their relationship. I also kind of ship Jake and Katie. Not as much as I ship other couples in other shows, but I'm getting there. And, of course, I also have strong not so good feelings about some characters, like, for example, Dr. Lommers! She really is a b*tch and, I'm sorry about the language but, it's true! And after this episode, I think everyone is going to feel the same way about her. Which is kind of a shame, because I really like the actress, Claudia Black.

But yeah, let's get in to the proper rant.

Like I said before, Jake played an huge part in this episode. With being almost the only cop inside the cordon, he basically have to get in charge of everything, starting with helping Dr. Cannerts with disposing the bodies of the ones that died because of the virus. I think I should also mention now that we learn that, once the person dies, the virus dies too, which is kind of nice, it means that, at least, there's a way for all this to 'end'.

Anyway, poor Jake have to deal with all those dead people. He has to incinerate them and you can see in his face that it pains him. That, and also all the rage against Lex because, yes, he's still kind of mad at him. 

But that doesn't prevents Lex from asking, and later demand, Jake to basically be the 'Major' inside the cordon.

Meanwhile all this happens, the parents of the students that Katie was taking care of arrive to pick them but not all of them are inside the cordon, so she's left with some of them. And accident ends up happening and one of the students gets in contact with someone infected with the virus so he get in quarenteen. But, his dad arrives a few hours later and demands to take home his son and he even points a gun at Katie. The boy ends up leaving with his dad and I feel like he's going to be the one who's going to make all of this get worse.

Also, Teresa's storyline gets a tiny little bit more exciting when some guys go to her mother's store to rob some food. Jake ends up getting there in time and so nothing bad happens.

And then, we have the main storyline of the episode, which was the fact that Leo Green keeps posting stuff about what's happening inside the Cordon online and people is getting more scared every second. Lex talks to him so he'll stop posting those videos but he doesn't do it and he even ends up finding out that there's an excape from inside to outside the cordon and, of course he posted it online.

Lex and everyone else find about that in time and you can imagine that it wasn't pretty. Every cop outside the cordon in the place that there was the excape and then Jake and the few cops that were inside the cordon in the same place trying to 'contain' the people so no one would get out.

Of course, someone is about to get out when he's shot. It's one of the cops that is with Jake and... That was such a surprise like, I was in shock when I saw that scene.

After than, something 'kind of' worse happen. Dr. Lommers shuts down all the internet and phone connection inside the cordon which leaves a lot of peple, including Lex pissed! And, that's the reason why I'm so mad at her and hate her so much!

Anyway, I just want to see the next episode because this keeps getting better and better!

Let me know your thoughts about this episode or just about the whole show in the comments! I would love to chat with you!

Love,

Daniela.

Arrow | Season 4 Episode 19 - "Canary Cry"

Spoiler Alert!

I know, I'm posting this really late, and I'm sorry about that, but I've told you on my twitter that I was only going to be able to post this today and so, here I am to do it.

There was a lot of controversy about this episode because Laurel stans where mad that she was killed off the show and so they didn't want people to watch this episode. And, on the other end, there was people saying that, if you loved Laurel so much you should watch, at least, this episode, because this episode was entirely dedicted to her and this was your last opportunity to see her.

I'm with the last ones. I'm going to keep watching the show anyway, and I'm not really a fan of Laurel but if you are, you should've, at least, watched this last episode, but yeah... Let's get in to the real rant.

So, as I said before, this episode was basically all about Laurel and how everyone is dealing with her death. It was also about Black Canary's 'reputation' because, right after Laurel died, a 'Black Canary' appear and started going after everyone to do with Ruvé Adams. And, I don't know about you but, was I the only one to notice the girl, right in the beginning of the episode, when they are all in the hospital's corridor? I just saw that girl and found really awkward that they put someone pass there in that type of scene but I thought 'well, there's other people in the hospital, that happens in real life' but then, when that Black Canary appeard I knew it was that girl.

Anyway, the Arrow Team go after all the leads that they have and, I think I should mention this now, because it is a big thing, I guess, is that Felicity is back on the Team, which is great! Back to what I was saying... They end up discovering who that girl is and they also discover that her parents were working for Damien Darhk, kind of against their will, and that's why she was after everyone to do with Darhk, starting with Ruvé, his wife.

While all this happens, we also see Captain Lance deal with Laurel's death which, let's just say, it's way worse than the rest of the team. Lance is in denial and he keeps looking for a way to get Laurel back, and he even goes to Nyssa asking for her help.

And then, there's also Diggle who is not only dealying with Laurel's death but is also dealying with his brother's, Andy's, betrayl. Because of that, he ends up going after Ruvé Adams but, luckily, Oliver gets to him in time, and he ends up not doing anything, anything that he would've regret.

Unfortunately, things get a little bit bad because of Diggle's actions. Ruvé ends up demanding that the vigilantes get arrested and so she sends and anti-vigilante team to go after them.

To finish it off, the 'fake Black Canary' gets to Ruvé and she's about the kill her but, again, Oliver gets there in time and he talks her out of killing Ruvé. Of course, Ruvé takes this to make Black Canary seem like an assassin and of course Team Arrow has to do something so, in Laurel's funeral, Oliver tells everyone that Laurel was the Black Canary and we even see it in the very end of the episode, written in Laurel's tombstone "The Black Canary" which I really liked!

I also might just add that Barry did appear in this episode. The same scene has we've already seen before and, again, he sayg that he's late because of Zoom so... not to do with this show but, I'm really excited to see what's going to happen in The Flash.

After that we also see the car scene between Oliver and Felicity, where she tells him that he has to kill Darhk.

In terms of flashbacks, we just see some Laurel past scenes, just like when Tommy died and when Oliver leaves her to return to Lian Yu.

Overall, this was a nice episode. I feel like it was a needed episode. We needed this closure for Laurel's character and I feel like, from now on, everything's going to be way more real, because everyone is sad/angry about Laurel's death, and that's a pretty strong reason to kill Darhk.

Tell me your thoughts. Do you agree with me? Do you think this was a needed episode? Also, what do you think about Laurel's death? Are you sad that she's gone or do you think it was a 'nice way to end' her character? Let me know everything.

Until next time! (Hopefully Thursday)

Love,

Daniela.
