Containment | Season 1 Episode 10 "A Time to Be Born"

Spoiler Alert!

So, with the series almost coming to an end (we only have two more episodes left) everything is on stake now, and this episode, episode 10, was an episode, just like Kristen said, to get answers. 

Also, something that we've been waiting to happen all season happens, Teresa finally have her baby and, oh my! I guess we can start right there, since it's one of the major storylines in this episode.

I gotta say that with every episode I start liking Jana more and more! She has been my favourite since the very start of the series, even before, I already liked Christina and her character is just amazing! In the end, it was Jake (my sweet sweet love Chris Wood) who got everything to work out fine but Jane sure was an huge 'rock' in all of this. And, even though I don't really like Teresa, I can't even imagine the pain she was going through because, lets face it, she didn'g have any medication, anything to help her with the pain and, if it wasn't for Jake who appeared last minute, and who can deliver babies (which I didn't know was part of a police officer 'curriculum') everything might have happened not as good as it ended, at least, talking about Teresa and her baby, because not everything worked out fine. But, let's talk about something else first and talk about the bad stuff in the end.

In this episode we finally find out (kinda) who's behind all of this and, it's Dr. Lommers! Seriously, after last week's episode I really thought she wasn't as bad as I thought she was but, after all... She's the one who is behind all of this virus thing. I still don't know what's really up because it's all very confusing... All about she working with chief and with Dr. Cannerts, I really don't understand, but I guess we are going to find out in next week's episode, at least, that's the idea I have from what I saw in the preview.

Ok, I guess the time has come, we have to talk about how Julie Pleac always messes everything up!

Yeah, you can already probably imagine what I'm talking about (if you haven't seen the episode yet), she freaking had to make Katie sick! I mean, I already kind of knew this was going to happen, it's a Julie show afterall, but... I still had a little bit of hope but, in the moment that they said, right in the beginning of the episode that Katie wasn't sick, I just knew that something was about the happen. They wouldn't just through everything that happen in the last episode and then start this one with 'yeah, everything is fine'. Guess what, I was right and the very last scene of the episode is Katie coughing blood, while Jake is 'in front of her' (outside the room she's in, of course). 

I just knew they would mess up our ship. I mean, at least, she didn't kill Chris Wood again, which is already good because if she didn't... oh my.. I don't know how I would react!

This can still happen but... I don't think she will kill both of them but... You never know!

Well, that's basically it!

Tell me your thoughts about this episode in the comments and I'll see you next week with a new review.

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 9 "A Kingdom Divided Amongst Itself"

Spoiler Alert!

Omg you guys, this episode was just mind-blowing. This is the episode that we've all been waiting for and it truly was one of the best episodes so far. I know I say this a lot, basically in every rant but, the truth is, this series just gets better and better and, before you think I've changed my mind, I didn't. I still think they made the best decision in canceling the series because I think if they had another Season, they would mess up something that was great, and change it into something boring. It's better to have just one really good season than have more than one and being crapy. This is just my opinion, but I'll gladly here what you have to say about that. 

But, anyway, enough talking about the cancellation and let's talk about this great episode that we had last night!

So, once again, I live tweeted and, even though it wasn't as good as last Tuesday (in terms of being noticed by the cast) I was still noticed by Kristen and Christina, my faves right now (apart from Chris, obviously). Kristen is such a cutie and I don't even know how I could 'hate' her before the show. I guess I just didn't like the idea of her portraiting Chris Wood's character love interest, which is odd, because now I ship them so hard. And, because we are already talking about Jatie (their ship name), this was another huge episode for them. They had their first date and, omg Chris Wood sang in this episode! Let me just have this fangirling moment because I've been waiting for this for so long! I might be wrong but, I think this is the first time Chris sings in a TV Show and I've been dying to hear him sing in one because he truly sings beautiful, so as Kristen, That's right, she also sang in this episode and omg I didn't know that girl could sing that well! That made me like her even more, Kristen and her character Katie, and ship Jatie even harder. But, let's talk about something else, afterall, this series isn't all about Jatie (even though Chris is the reason why I started watching the series).

So, we are on Day 13, the day that we had a glimpse of in the first episode and it is as bad as we saw in the first episode, or even worse!

People started a riot and are trying to get outside the cordon. Lex and Lommers are still trapped inside that 'box' and aren't able to do anything, which leaves the National Guard Captain to lead everything and we know how a douche he is so, nothing could end well.

Meanwhile, Katie and Jake are having that date when they find out that some of Katie's students are missing and they have to go into the streets to find them. That's when everything gets so messed up! Jake goes somewhere to take of his uniform and leaves Katie alone in a corner. When he's coming back to her he bumps into one of the students that is with her tutor or something. He (Jake) finds out that they left Mary behind because she got sick. That's when we see Katie seeing Mary go inside a car. Of course Katie runs to where Mary is, but a car bumps into the car that Mary got inside and, when Katie gets there, Mary is already dead. Let's keep in mind that Katie didn't know that Mary got sick and so she carries Mary into somewhere and that's when Jake finds her and... The look on Jake's face just broke my heart. All of this that is happening seems so real and I just felt so sad and heart-broken for Jake and Katie and... Of course, when all of this ended, she had to get in quarentine and... I just don't have my hopes up... Knowing that this is a Julie show, she's going to mess our ship and let's just say everythings going to end badly, I just feel it.

Anyway, there's just one little thing left to be said, and that's Leo's storyline in this episode. 

Since Lex is nowhere to be found Leo keeps going with his investigation to know who Patient Zero was talking to on the phone when he got sick. 

And that's basically it. As you can see, this was an huge episode, full of emotions and it was just chaotic.

Let me know your thoughts on this episode and what are your predictions for the 4 episodes remaining.

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 8 - "There's a Crack in Everything"

Spoiler Alert!

I know, super later with this post.

If you follow me on twitter you know why I took this time out but I'm back and I have some exciting news, from the series, to share with you.

So, besides this being one of my favourite episodes, I decided to start live tweeting during the episodes, and Episode 08 was the first one that I live tweeted and it was a great live tweeting session. I got to be noticed by almost every cast member - Christina Moses, Kristen Gutoskie, George Young and Claudia Black - which was great.

Ok, now that I've told you that, let's get right into the episode.

In this episode we find out that Thomas is imune to the virus or, at least, we thought he was. I didn't want to jump right into the 'end' of the episode but, it turns out that he isn't imune, he is just a pacient that doesn't have symptoms, which turns out to be a huge problem, but I'll get into that later.

This episode was also really big for Jatie fans, which I became one recently. Katie and Jake become closer than ever in this episode after finding out that something really was going on in the day of the outbreak and they find out who Patient Zero really is.

Jake tells everything to Lex, just one last time because, after trying to get inside the Cordon, Lext gets suspendend and that's in that moment, when Lex and Jake talk, that Lex tells Jake that if he really does like Katie that he should do something, and that's kind of what happens. Jake starts showing more his interest in Katie and later in the episode, almost in the very end, one of the cutest/hotest/weirdest scenes happen. Katie and Jake finally kiss, but through a shower cortain. That might be a little difficult to explain to you if you haven't seen the episode but it was just sweet and weird at the same time. Even after a week, I don't know what to feel about that scene. I liked it, I'm glad it happened but... It was just a tiny little bit weird.

The third storyline in this episode was Jana's storyline, where Suzy, her and the other try to excape the cordon, failing. I really thought they were going to make it but... I guess I was wrong.

And then, that's when the wrost thing happens (at least, in this episode, because episode 9 was way worse). Katie and Jake, following Dr. Lommers orders, try to extract Thomas out of the cordon, so they can start working on an antidote but is in that moment that Dr. Cannerts finds that Thomas isn't immune but just doesn't have symptoms and tries to stop the extraction. He does manage to do it but Lex and Lommers end up getting in contact with him and so they have to be in quarentine inside that 'box', while the other people inside the cordon decide to start a riot and... That's how the episode ends.

Episode 9 is the Day 13, the day that we saw in the beginning of the season so, it's bad. I already saw the episode so expect another rant in a few hours.

And yeah, that's it for this episode. I quite liked it. As I said before, it was probably my favourite episode but again, episode 9 was epic but, I'm not going to talk about it here so, keep an eye for the next rant.

Until then... Don't forget to comment your thoughts on this episode.

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 7 - "Inferno"

Spoiler Alert!

So, here I am again, today, just like I said, to rant about the episode that aired last night.

I'm going to start with something that I say quite a lot in this rants but, I just need to say it again - I can't get over how hot Chris Wood looks on this show! Seriously, I fell in love with him while he was on The Vampire Diaries, and I always thought he was hot but... damn, he looks so hot in this show!

Ok, I said it! Now, let's get to the point of this rant, the actual episode!

This episode was basically all about what was happening inside that building where Jana and her friends are staying.

Lex barely appeard in the episode but, when he did, it was with really important stuff to the episode. So, I feel like we should talk first about him and then get into the main storyline of the episode.

In this episode we got to know a little bit more about Lex, about the relationship with is dad as well as all the things he's dealing now that he's 'againt' the police and stuff. And, about this last part, the the episode ended, omg, I felt so bad for him. Which leads us now to the main storyline, the gang (the other one, the one that was in the garage) attacking Jana and everyone that was inside.

It started right where the previous one ended. They decided to let Teresa's mother and the other guy come up. Turns out he only wanted their phone but, of course, when they gave it to them, he wanted to take Xander, Teresa and he mum back to the supermarket.

That's when Jake appears and gets to make him go without them. Jake gives Jana the flashdrive that Lex gave to him so she could recover the data that was there and that they needed and, when she's doing that, that's when everything starts to get bad.

It turns out the guy that left told the other gang about the chemicals and everything that they had in there and, as addicts as they are, they started to try and get inside of the floor they were.

They start working on a plan but it doesn't really work out and one of the gang members almost gets inside. Luckily, Jana takes some action and he doesn't get in.

Of course this doesn't end here and they have to come up with another plan.

One thing that I quite enjoyed was them all working together. It was pretty nice to see almost every character come in action.

Skipping to the very end... Teresa's mother ends up getting bitten by one of them. We saw previously that some of the addicts were infected so we don't really know if the one that bite her was so she has to leave with Jake to the hospital.

And, even with all of this happening, Jana gets to recover the stuff that was in the flashdrive that they needed.

The very last scene of the episode is that one with Lex that really made me sad about him. So, long story short, while all of this was happening, Jana got to call Lex telling him that she really needed help so, what did he do? He tried to get inside the cordon. Of course, he was caught and the national guard 'arrested' him. And, that's the final scene. 

Overall, I really liked this episode. The series gets better and better and it really is a good series! Still, I'm not sad about the fact that they cancelled it because I think that if they draged the series for more seasons it would ruin the show so, I prefer just one good season!

Anyway, let me know all your thoughts about this episodes and, just a little new, from now on I'm going to live tweet during the show! This is my last week of uni so, I don't have to wake up early from now on, which means I can live tweet! So join me every Tuesday during the show!

And, that's it!

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 6 - "He Stilled The Rising Tumult"

Spoiler Alert!

First of all, I wanna say sorry for posting this so late. I know this isn't about my personal life but I feel like I should explain you why I haven't done it already.

I've been caught up with uni work and also, I went out during the weekend, so I wasn't available at all to do it.

But, today I'm here so, since yesterday another episode aired, expect a new update right after this one.

So, let's get into the actual rant.

I personally really liked this episode. It wasn't my favourite (it is still the previous one) but it was still really good. I feel like this one was a little more chilled, even thought major things happened in this episode.

I gotta start with saying that I loved the opening scene, with Chris Wood aka Jake Riley looking extremely hot. (I thought I should mention that). Ok, besides that, the next thing in the episode, and basically the major point through out the whole episode, was Lex trying to find out what is going on. Along side with Jake, and now also with Leo, he goes after the security cameras footage. Of course he goes through a lot of problems and this part of the episode got me really into it. I really am super curious about the hell is going on. Also, the captain (or what his 'name' is) is really starting to 'mess with me'. I'm 100% on Lex side so... 

The second major thing in this episode was the Jake and Katie look out for Thomas. We find out in this episode that Thomas' whole family died, or is sick, so Katie and Jake go after him. They eventually find him. What is surprising about this whole thing is that he isn't sick at all. Katie and Jake then take him to the hospital again. This gives both Jake and Katie a little bit of hope on getting a cure for the virus, because Dr. Cannerts said that he needed someone imune to the virus in order to come up with a cure. Of course they may be a little naive or Thomas may still develop symptoms but, until now, it's a little of hope. And, to be honest, I believe he is the answer to all of this, at least, the cure part. We only have a few episodes left so... They can't drag this out much more.

And then, the third and last major point of this episode was Xander and Teresa escaping the gang that is taking over their shop. Let's just say that that gand is really pissing me off. I know I said this already in a previous rant but, even if all of this with the virus wasn't enough!

Anyway, so they do escape and they go to where Jana and her friends are staying. Everything seems to be just fine. Then Teresa's mum arrives there, just like they planned but... They (the gang) tracked them and end up going with Teresa's mother and, the final shot of the episode is one member of the gang pointing a gun at Teresa's mum.

Seriously, this really makes me mad, even though I don't really care about Teresa's mother or even Teresa. I still find her character annoying and I couldn't care less about her story but still... The gang pisses me off even more.

So, this is my opinion about this episode.

I would say to leave me your thoughts about the episode in the comments but I believe you have already seen episode 7 and prefer to talk about that one so... That rant will be up in about an hour so... Keep an eye on that.

Love,

Daniela.
