Supernatural | Season 12 Episode 3 - "The Foundry"


Spoiler Alert!

New episode of Supernatural and, just like The Flash, back to basics.
This episode took us back to season 1, where the boys are back hunting but, this time, with a new member, Mary Winchester.
I liked this episode. Again, it wasn't one of my favourites because I'm still waiting for that boom! episode, but I liked this one better than the previous ones, maybe because the boys were back on cases and chasing monsters, which is always nice to see, and which I think it's going to happen in the next few episodes.
But yeah, let's get into the events that happened in this episode.
The episode starts with the case, a couple that hears a baby crying insde an abbandoned house and that end up frostbitten.
From this we switch to the boys who are having breakfast. Castiel appears saying that he has a lead from Lucifer and that he's going after that lead. After that, Mary appears with the case.
At first, the boys, mostly Sammy, don't want to take the case because they are kind of worried about Mary, but she insists and they end up going on a family hunting trip.
Some moments on that trip were pretty cute, because we got to see how much alike his mum Dean is, which is really cute. But I still felt like something wasn't right with Mary, which we find out in the end of the episode that she feels 'weird' and that everything is different from when she died.
But yeah, back to the case...
They go into that house and Mary is grabbed by a little boy's ghost, but she doesn't think he's trying to hurt her but tell her something.
Later, Sam and Dean, find out that a lot of children died in that house so they leave to burn the bones, leaving Mary alone in the motel. Of course, no one does what they're told and Mary starts calling people until she founds out what is going on and comes back to the house. That's when things go wrong.
The children are still there and she finds out that it is the father of the first girl that died that is keeping all this children there and that's when he attacks her. Sam and Dean get there in that exact moment but it's kind of too late, because he possessed Mary.
That was an scary moment for me, I was really afraid for her and for both Sam and Dean, but Mary is really strong and she got a few seconds out of the possession and warned the boys.
Sam finds the remains of the man and burns them and everything ends up fine.
Meanwhile all of this is happening, Castiel is after Lucifer, and some of the funnier moments in the episode happen with them. First, with Castiel impersonating a FBI agent called Beyoncé. Just Castiel to come up with something like that. And second, Catiel teaming up with Crowley! That was really really funny and I really enjoyed it!
Also, while Castie and Crowley are looking from Lucifer, we see the later with Rowena. He's demanding her to make his vessel permanent, so he doesn't die but, Rowena being Rowena, of course she tricks him and makes his vessel decay even faster and ends up sending him to the bottom of the ocean, and that's when Crowley and Castiel find her, to which she says she would help them if they come across Lucifer again.
And, the episode ends with a very sad scene - Mary leaving.
That's right, Mary tells Sam and Dean that she doesn't feel good with them, that everything is different from what it used to be, from what she had in heaven and she says that she needs some time for herself and leaves.
Of course Sam and Dean get extremely sad and I just feel so bad for Dean, I wish I could hug him. He looked really really sad.
But yeah, it seems like we won't have Mamma Winchester for a while and, from the preview for next week, we are going to keep going with the cases and have a break from all the Man of Letters (and probably Lucifer as well) storyline.
I'm kind of happy with that, even though I think the Man of Letters storyline is going to turn out to be an huge storyline but yeah... Let's see.
Until then, I'll see you soon with a brand new TVD rant.
Love,
Daniela.


Arrow | Season 5 Episode 4 - "Penance"


Spoiler Alert!

New episode of Arrow and quite an exciting one!
With Arrow I never know what to expect, because sometimes the preview seems pretty exciting and then I get disappointed and other times I don't really expect much from the episodes and it surprises me so, it's always an adventure. And, with this episode I was kind of surprised, in a good way, although it wasn't like an huge episode.
There some few bits that I really enjoyed like the whole Diggle storyline and, again, the flashbacks (I never liked the flashbacks as much as I like them now).
But yeah, in this episode we are back to the Church storyline, for one part of the episode and, for the other part, like I said before, it's the Diggle storyline.
To be quite honest with you, I don't really like the Church storyline, overall. I don't really see him as a strong villain and, in terms of villains, I'm way more excited about Prometheus (who wasn't even mentioned in this episode, I might add).
But back to the storyline...
So, we beggin the episode with the new team capturing an associate of Church, just to get into a trap.
Basically, they get a device that they thought Church wanted but in fact, he really wanted the device to get into the SCPD evidence room so it would blow up and they could get in to get guns and stuff.
And, all of this happened in a bad timming because, while this was happening, Oliver was trying to get Diggle out of the military prison.
That part of the episode, just like I said, was my favourite.
I wasn't really happy with the story they were writting for Diggle but it seems like he's kind of back because, obviously, Oliver got him out of the prison and, to be honest, I think it's just a matter of time for him to re-join the team so, let's see...
Some other part of the episode, and other character that I'm starting to like is Rory (and in this episode, his whole 'thing' with Felicity). 
Out of all the new members, he's the only one that I really like (apart from Curtis, for me Curtis was part of the team for a long time so, he doesn't really count). Rory seems like a genuine kind and loveable guy so I'm liking him!
But, back to the Church storyline... A lot more happened, while Oliver was out.
So the team locates where Church is and what he's going to do so they decide to go after him, after all, this might be their only chance. But, as you can imagine, things don't really go well and Rene aka Wild Dog gets behind and Church gets him. He doesn't kill him but he takes him for 'interrogation' and that's basically how the episode ends.
I mean, Oliver gets back and finds out about all of this and says that they have to find Rene and that's when the episode ends.
Also, I just wanted to point out that the new DA, Adrian, the one in the banner, is really handsome and he's also a character that I'm starting to love. Just wanted to let you know that.
And, because I have to talk about the flashbacks, basically what happens is that Oliver has his third test to get into the Bratva and he ends it, finally becoming part of the Bratva 'family'.
Like I said, overall it was an interesting episode, with all the Diggle stuff and the new characters that I'm liking but, I just feel like the villain this season is a bit week. Please, let me know what you think, I wanna know if I'm the only one feeling this way.
Ok, I guess this is it for this rant. I'll see you tomorrow with a brand new Supernatural rant.
Love,
Daniela.

American Horror Story: Roanoke | Season 6 Episode 7 - "Chapter 7"


Spoiler Alert!

So, as we get closer to the end we get more into the story and, although this wasn't my favourite episode, by a mile, should I add, we got pretty big leads to the mistery that we (audience) is trying to unsolve - Who is the only person to end up alive?
I'll get into the details about my theory in the end of this post so now, lets focus on the events that happened in this episode.
The first scenes show us Sidney and his crew on the trailer watching what is happening in the house, and that's when they argue about something and one of the crew members goes to get something (that I don't really remember what) and that's when Sidney and the camera man that is there with him hear something weird and find that one crew member dead.
That's when Agnes appears, still mad and thinking that she's the butcher and kills both of them, just like she did on that one crew member.
Meanwhile in the house, a lot of argues happen and that's when Agnes appears and stabs Shelby.
In order to get help for Shelby, Monet, Audrey and Lee go into the woods, just to be found by the Polk family, the real Polk family, one of them being portrayed by Finn Wittrock.
The Polks end up cuting off one of Lee's leg and feeding it to Audrey and Monet.
Back to the house, we see Matt sleepwaking and going into the cellar, to meet with Scathach (Lady Gaga's character) to have sex. Dominic follows him and sees everything, in which he goes upstairs and wakes up Shelby to go and watch it as well.
Shelby get's really angry thinking that Scathach was forcing Matt into it but that's when Matt tells that he loves her and she's the reason why he came back to the house. Shelby gets really mad and one of the most surprising scenes happen. Shelby kills Matt!
I got to tell you, I wasn't expecting it at all and, at first, I thought Shelby would be the one to be the only one alive but with this, I don't think so.
Anyway, back to the story. After this, Agnes comes back to the house and lights a fire outside. That's when the real Butcher appears with her mob and kills Agnes stabbing her in the face. And that's how the episode end.
Just like I said, not my favourite. Overall, I think it was too dramatic and too many people dyed in this episode, making it seem like they were rushing to get to the end, afterall, there's only 3 episodes left. But, the question you must be thinking about right now is - Which is your theory on who's going to sruvive? Well, I'm going to tell you.
Lee. Lee is the only one to survive, I'm pretty sure of it. And I'll tell you why. First of all, she is kind of one of the main characters, or to be more specific, one of the 'real' characters, which I always thought it was going to be one of those three to survive. Then, she's not in the house right now and she's not dead (I think) because the Polks only cut her left off. Also, Sidney basically did this second season to prove that it was Lee who killed Mason and, to top it all off, she said in this episode "This camera is my story." which proves my point, this is her story so she's the only one to survive.
I don't know, it seems a pretty solid theory but let me know your thoughts and who do you think it's going to be the only survivor.
And I'll see you later with a brand new Arrow rant.
Love,
Daniela.

The Flash | Season 3 Episode 4 - "The New Rogues"


Spoiler Alert!

Back to the basics!
That's right, this week's episode of The Flash was just like we were used to see from the series, a new meta-human and Barry/The Flash trying to catch him. Just, this time, he had a sidekick - Jesse Quick.
In last week's episode we got introduced to Jesse being a speedster, and in this episode she got in action with Barry. Unfortunately, she had to leave by the end of the episode, but we'll talk about that later.
Anyway so, my first thoughts about this episode are that is was nice to see something like we were used to, not related to Dr. Alchemy, even though I do like his storyline and I want to know more. Something that I don't really liked or, I mean, I was kind of sad about was the fact that Tom Felton isn't in this episode. I've already said that I was really excited to see him in the show and when he got introduced in episode 2 I got really excited because, although his character may be kind of annoying sometimes, I really like him and I think he brings a new dymanic to the show, which I really enjoy, and which we didn't see in the episode. So, that was basically the only down thing for me about this episode.
But yeah, basically the storyline of this episode is about two former cohorts of Snart, that three years about got caught by the original particle accelerator and that just now came back, at least, one of them. And, just like I said before, Barry and Jesse go after them. 
You already know how this works, they don't get to catch them the first time they go after them and Barry ends up trapped inside a mirror, which was quite fun. And, the way they manage to get Barry out of there first, is with some type of 'thing' (that I don't really remember the name, I'm not that geek) but it doesn't work and, secretely, Caitlin uses her powers to freeze the mirror in order to Barry get out of there. That scene was pretty cool, mostly because it is tied with the very last scene, the one that I'm always excited about (and that I'll talk more in the end of the rant). 
So they go after them the second time and yeah, they get them and 'everything ends up nice'.
Some other pretty cool mini-storyline in this episode is the Team going after a new Wells, from other Earth (because 'our' Wells is going back to Earth-2). It was a really funny scene, to see all the different types of Wells and all. They agree in one and, in the end of the episode, he comes to our Earth and he gets introduced to the whole Team and everything. I'm excited about this Wells because he seems way funnier and likable.
And yeah, I guess it's time to talk about that last scene, which this time isn't Alchemy related but Caitlin related.
That's right, he are going to have a 'major' Caitlin storyline and guess what it is going to be? Killer Frost!
I already knew that we were going to have this storyline because episode 7 is called "Killer Frost", but it is still exciting to see our Caitlin dealing with the transformations. And that's basically what we see in this last seconds of the episode, Caitlin taking a shower and accidentally freezes the water, ending in her appearance starting to look alot like her Earth-2 doppleganger - the 'frozen' lips and the 'white' hair (for now, just a bit of hair).
And yeah, this is it guys. 
I got to say that I'm pretty excited about the Killer Frost storyline, although I'm also curious about Alchemy.
Anyway, let me know in the comments what you thought about this episode and if you are excited about Killer Frost's 'comeback'.
Love,
Daniela.

The Vampires Diaries | Season 8 Episode 1 - "Hello Brother"


Spoiler Alert!

The beginning of the end started!
That's right guys, it is confirmed, season 8 of TVD is going to be it's last. I've known this for a while but I never got to mention it here on the blog so, although this is a happy post, because it's the return of The Vampire Diaries, this is also a sad one because it means it's the last TVD Season Premiere.
Also, although I'm so happy about this season (which I'll get into in a minute) I'm extremely sad that my favourite series of all time is coming to an end. 
If you follow me for a while on other social medias, you know that I've been here for this show since it's beginning! Seves years here for the show! I got through so many things in my life while watching this, I've been here since Stefan and Elena first met, I saw Katherine returning and dying, I've been here through all the amazing K's (Katherine, Klaus, Kol and Kai) and I even got to meet the cast last year and the fact this series is ending makes me so sad. And, that's why I've decided to record my reaction to the last episode (which is still a few months away, thank god) and put it on my youtube channel. It's going to envolve a lot of tears for sure but I just want to have this memory forever in my life.
Anyway, enough of sadness and let's get into Friday's amazing episode!
I gotta tell you, first of all, that I was pretty excited for this episode (and for this whole season, to be honest) because since is it's last, the producers have some pretty cool stuff planned for this season, one of them being that every episode it's going to be named after an iconic line from the first season and, this episode the name was, as you may have already noticed, "Hello Brother", the first iconic line from Damon.
And, this episode really was all about Damon! Damon and Stefan, Stefan being on the hunt after Damon.
As we saw in the end of last season, Damon and Enzo got under some type of 'spell' from that thing, that we know now it's called Sybil, and that's basically how this episode starts, with Damon and Enzo killing some people on the road.
We learn that Damon shut off his humanity and that he doesn't feel any remorse from what he's doing, but Enzo does, and that's why when they kill their last victims, he leaves some clues for Bonnie and Stefan to find them.
They end up finding them, and that's when Damon says he's iconic line "Hello Brother". Stefan and Bonnie soon realize that Damon and Enzo are not themselves and, after threatening Bonnie's life, they decide to leave.
Later we find out that Enzo does still cares, and just pretends that he doesn't in order to Sybil not hurting Bonnie. And, Bonnie also does realizes that, right in the end of the episode, when she's thinking about moments between them and she remembers a book that he used to read to her and that he's leaving clues related to that same book.
Meanwhile, we also learn that Alaric is now the head of the Armory and that him and his interns start to search for something in the vault, finding out an hidden passage which leads to some secret 'room' with ancient remains having distinct Greek roots.
And, we also have to talk about Caroline, who is also searching for clues while taking care of the twins, with the help of the new nany, Seline (portrayed by Kristen Gutoskie). 
As expected, a new character had to be threatned in the first episode so, obviously, Seline is attacked. By who you ask? Virginia St. John, who escaped the mental institution.
Luckily, Caroline gets there on time and saves Seline as well as the kids. Caroline tries to get some answers from Virgina but she ends up bleeding to death.
In the very end of the episode the most exciting thing of the whole episode happens, we see Sybil rise from the blook tank where she was in. And yes, she's a girl. And that's how the episode ends.
But I've seen some spoilers/curiosities, and I've learned that Sybil feeds from the sins of the people, that's why Damon and Enzo where looking for people that have commited some pretty dark sins.
And that's pretty much it guys.
I gotta tell you, I really liked this episode! Not that it had some pretty big plot twists or anything but the whole aesthetic of the episode and mainly the ending where really good so I think it made up for the rest of the episode. Also I can see that this season is a lot more gory and a lot more like season 1 so this got me really excited for the rest of the season.
Let me know your thoughts about the last season premiere of The Vampire Diaries and I don't think it's soon enough so tell me how to you think the series is going to end (keeping in mind that Julie said that Klaus is going to be in the last episode).
Until next week.
Love,
Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 12 Episode 2 - "Mamma Mia"


Spoiler Alert!

Back with a Supernatural rant and with a better opinion about this episode.
That's right, this week's episode was bette than the last one, although, it still wasn't enough for me. I guess I'm used to Supernatural having like big plot twists and bigger storylines and this time, I haven't felt that.
I know that there's plenty of people that are enjoying this season so far and, don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying it, I'm just not surprised or 'amazed' by the storyline so far. I mean, I know you can't really top a storyline with God and all but still... I'm waiting for that big plot twist that will make me fall in love wih this season.
Anyway, let's talk about the actual events that happened in this episode.
So, Toni keeps interrogating Sam. This time, making him hallucinate that he's having sex with her and all, something that happened in the first seconds of the episode and that got me really confused. I quickly thought about it being some type of hallucination and that Toni was messing with his mind so I wasn't really surprised when they showed us that it was really that what was happening.
Something that really surprised me was her asking him about Ruby. And then, they didn't touch that subject at all through out the whole episode so it got me wondering if we are going to have Ruby back or if she's important to this season's storyline because I can't see her relating to what it is happening at all!
Also in this episode Dean finally founds out where Toni is keeping Sam but let's just say that things don't work like it was supposed to.
So, Castiel finds the warded farm house, but he can't get inside because it's protected against angels (i think) so he has to ask Dean to get inside. Obviously, Mary doesn't stay behind. Not that Dean didn't want that but you see, Dean's stubbornness had to come from someone and guess who that someone is? Yes, that's right, his mum, so obviously she goes along with him, and thank god she does because right when Dean is about to find Sam, he gets trapped and Toni gets him and tortures him in front of Sam. That's when Mary comes in and fights with her, distracting her long enough for Dean to get free and knock Toni out. I got to say, that fight scene between Mary and Toni was one of the best scenes in that episode. Really liked to see Mary being so badass!
As they are about to leave, that's when Mick from the Men of Letters comes in, letting Castiel in as well, telling them that Toni went to far and that the Men of Letters want to work with hunters like the Winchesters to keep American safe.
Let's just say I don't really buy that, mostly because in the end of the episode, when Mick is talking with Toni he tells her that he has already sent for their torturer just in case so, I don't know what he's up to, I just know that it is nothing good.
Anyway, but since the Winchesters don't knoe anything they get back to their bunker 'happily ever after', and that's when we get better glimpse of Sam and Mary's relationship, which is so cute.
I got to say that I loved that last scene where they are all at the table eating and, although it isn' really Sam related, Mary gives Dean pie and he just starts eating it like... like Dean usually does and she says if he can't eat it quicker. It was just a really funny, yet beautiful scene. As well as the last scene when Sam gives Mary John's journal and they hug and it is just beautiful.
But, this episode wasn't just about Toni and the Winchesters. In this episode we got to see Lucifer back and with a new vessel! As well as Crowley working with Rowena to try and get Lucifer back in the cage, not working that well, as you can imagine, resulting in Crowley vanishing and Lucifer taking Rowena prisoner so, you know what that means right? Crowley turning to the Winchesters for help (I bet).
Anyway, so this is my thoughts about the episode.
It sure had it's moments, like the relationship between Sam and Mary as well as Dean and Mary, but overall wasn't an huge episode. I'm still waiting for that one.
Next weeks episode seems interesting. Looks like we are getting back to the brothers (and now Mary) going after monsters, which is always nice to see and now with the mum, it's going to be even more interesting.
Let me know your thoughts about the episode and tell me your predictions for the future episodes.
Love,
Daniela.

American Horror Story: Roanoke | Season 6 Episode 6 - "Chapter 6"


Spoiler Alert!

Omg, I was so excited about this episode and I got to tell, it didn't disappoint me one bit!
Ryan Murphy have been saying that we were going to see a major plot twist in episode 6 so, obviously, I was really excited about it. I was also kind of afraid to be disappointed because they made a big deal of this years theme and when the first episode aired I was really disappointed, so I was also afraid to be disappointed by this major twist.
Luckily, it was as big and as good as Ryan Murphy said and now I'm so pumped about the rest of the season!
So, turns out, "My Roanoke Nightmare" was a series (a series-within-a-series) and it got major views so they decided to make a season 2. This season 2 is this second part of our season, it is going to be like a Roanoke version of Big Brother, where the actors that protrayed the characters of the series and the actual people that experienced what happened (like Shelby and Matt and Lee) are going to be in the farm house during three while in the Blood Moon week.
The producer of this new season is Sidney, portrayed by Cheyenne Jackson, and the motive behind doing this new season is to expose Lee for the murder of Mason.
We also learn a lot about what have been going on with the characters, like the actual Shelby is no longer with Matt, and that's the only reason why she's going to the house again, to try and reconnect with him. We also learn that the actress that portrayed Shelby is now married to the actor who played Edward (in real life, like our life, Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters).
While the crew is preparing the house for the series, strange things start happening and one of the crew members end up dying. And, when they start 'shooting' a lot of stuff happen and Evan Peter's character end up dying.
We also (as an audience) find out that all the people inside the house end up dying and that the season never makes it to air.
And that's basically it.
Overall, I'm really excited about the rest of the season. It seems way more interesting and exciting so I'm really curious to see the rest of the episodes, even though I know that everyone ends up dying.
Anyway, let me know in the comments your thoughts and I'll see you tomorrow with a new Supernatural episode.
Love,
Daniela.



Arrow | Season 5 Episode 3 - "A Matter of Trust"


Spoiler Alert!

So, I decided to switch things up. Instead of posting the AHS rant first I decided to post Arrow's rant, and it's actually better this way because this episode kind of connects with Arrow so, it's better to post both rants in a row.
Anyway, this week's Arrow episode was pretty damn cool.
I really liked to see the new Arrow Team in action and I'm really liking this 'new' Oliver, the only thing that kind of brings me down is his relationship with Felicity, even though they are still good and that they are friends and work together, I really miss seeing them together in a romantic way.
Also, I'm not really liking this season's Diggle. I don't know why, but he's not the Diggle that I liked so, I hope that it will change in the future.
But yeah, basically in this episode Oliver (and later, the new team) are after someone that is selling a new drug, called 'Stardust'. Rene says that he knows where's they place where they are making this drug but Oliver thinks that they're still not ready. Of course, Rene and Evelyn go looking for it and, as expected, it ends terribly wrong, with the main 'dealer', Derek Sampson, turning into a superhuman, with super strenght and an inability to feel pain.
Later in the day Felicity gives Oliver a speech telling him that he needs to trust his team and that's when Oliver decides to get the team together and go after this new Derek Sampson with 'super powers'.
Meanwhile all this is happening with Oliver, we get a bit deeper into Diggle's storyline, where he's now in jail and starts hallucinating with Floyd, which was kind of good because I liked his character. And, I gotta be honest with you, I really believed that he was alive because, afterall, Barry messed up the timeline so I wouldn't be surprised to see Floyd alive again. Unfortunately, he wasn't and Diggle then realises it and decides not to fight the charges against him. That's when Lyla gets worried and decides to go to Oliver for help.
And, althought this week's flashback were still good, they weren't reall important. They only showed the importance of Oliver trusting the Bratva, just like, nowadays, he needs to trust his new team, that's why the name of the episode - "A Matter of Trust".
So, yeah guys, that's it. Not the best episode, but not bad either. Overall I'm happy with it and I'm curious to see where this season is going to.
Ok, now expect the AHS rant next.
Love,
Daniela.

The Flash | Season 3 Episode 3 - "Magenta"


Spoiler Alert!

Back with a The Flash rant and back to the roots, kind of.
In this episode we kind of got back to our usual the flash episodes, with a new meta in each episode, which is nice to have once in a while, but this time, still with that main villain behind it all, Alchemy.
Overall, I enjoyed the episode. It wasn't nothing major but there's something huge that I want to discuss with you in the end of this rant.
But first, let's talk about the storyline of this episode.
One of the main stories in this episode is Jesse and Wells, who are back from Earth-2 with a major new for our team flash - Jesse is a speedster.
We all knew that this was coming, since it was talked a lot between the fans last season both about Jesse and Wally becoming speedsters. So, we have already seen Wally as Kid Flash, even though it wasn't the 'real timeline', so we knew that Jesse Quick was about to happen and it was in this episode.
The second storyline in this episode is Magenta, who is actually Frankie. Frankie has a double personality and that's how she develops Magenta and, with Alchemy's help, she becomes a metahuman. So, as you can image, the whole episode was about Barry trying to stop Magenta and all. 
In the end, Barry gets to help Frankie and she suppresses Magenta. That's when she talks about the dreams that she started having about Magenta and we see Wally getting really concerned, because he's having similar dreams, which makes us, audience, think that Kid Flash may be happening soon in this timeline.
To end this rant, I have to talk, obviously, about the last seconds of the episode, which are always really exciting.
This time, we see Joe showing Barry and Julian the video of Edward Clariss aka The Rival being attacked by Alchemy in the prison cell that he was. And basically the episode ends like that. But, since I'm portuguese, my episode and subtitles and the person that subtitled the episode wrote something in the end, talking about Julian and Alchemy having both british accents which lead me to thing that Alchemy might be Julian. In my opinion, it would be really cool. I like Julian anyway, which is pretty odd, because I bet, if Julian wasn't portrayed by Tom Felton, I would never like him but Tom Felton just has some type of energy in him that makes me like Julian so, seeing him as a metahuman, and as the main villain would so cool to me (because I'm all about the villains, even though I love Barry).
And yeah, this are my thoughts.
Let me know in the comments what do you think about my Julian/Alchemy theory and I'll see you in a few hours with a brand new AHS rant.
Love,
Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 12 Episode 1 - "Keep Calm and Carry On"


Spoiler Alert!

That's right! A brand new series here on the blog! But, not so quite new. 
As you may have already notice, Supernatural is in it's 12th Season, which is a lot but, somehow, I just got really into it now... How? I don't know. Maybe because it was too long and I always kept saying "I will watch it some other time", and that other time was this holidays.
So, if you don't follow me on twitter (which you should) you might not know this so, here's a little story for you. Like I said, I decided that it was time to give in into Supernatural so, my goal this summer (more exactly end of August, when I started watching the series) was to watch everything at least, until the new season premiered. So, I started watching it and in the first week I got through 4 seasons. I got pretty confident about watching the whole thing so I changed my goal to finish everything before school started (26th September). Well, turns out, I got through everything in less than a month! Three weeks to be more exact. So, has you can see, I got pretty addicted to I decided to start doing rants of the show, which leads us to this post!
Now that you know my little story on how I got through eleven seasons in less than a month and why I started doing rants of the show, let's get into the actual rant.
I gotta say, first of all that last season's ending was huge so I was really excited for this season to start.
Unfortunatelly, I don't have 'good news' for you. Not that I didn't like the episode, I liked it, but it didn't surprise me like the other seasons did, neither it excited me. I guess it is kind of my fault as well because I watched way too many previews so, when I watched the whole episode, I basically knew everything that happened. Nonetheless, there was still some pretty cool things in this episode, such as Mary.
I was really curious (and I still am) to find out more about Mary Winchester. Of course we already knew a lot about her but now it's completely different. She's in a new century, which is quite fun to see, probably one of my favourite parts of the episode, seeing Mary 'dealing' with all the changes, mostly the technological changes, in the world. So much fun. Also, her relationship with Dean is completely different now and it's exciting to see how they interact with each other and, mostly, how of a mummy's boy Dean is. It's actually pretty cute!
But, this episode was not all rainbows and butterflies.
In the end of last season we saw Sam getting shot by Toni, the british man (woman) of letters. Of course he didn't die, and that's what we see in this episode. Toni shot Sam in the leg and then kidnaps him and takes him for 'interrogation'. Interrrogation from what, you ask me? To be fair, don't even I understand.
Seriously, the whole story with Toni and the British Man of Letters is still quite confusing to me. I understood that they don't like how Sam and Dean work but I don't understand why are they interested or what is their point. I guess we'll find out (or I'll understand) that later but, for now, I'm still really confused about their intentions.
Anyway, Toni questions Sam and of course he doesn't tell her anything so she has her assistant torture him. I found that scene quite amusing because, just like Sam said, what could they done that Lucifer hasn't done? like, seriously, you must be really dumb to be torturing Sam. Or Dean for that matter.
So, obviously the torture doesn't work so Toni tortures Sam through his mind, making him see his loved ones die. Again, it doesn't really work and Sam ends up tricking Toni and almost gets to escape... Unfortunately, he can't...
Meanwhile, Mary and Dean, after catching up and all get back to the bunker to find no one there. Luckily, Castiel appears and that's another of the favourite scenes when Mary points a gun to Castiel, really funny. After they pass their 'issues' they start then working together in order to find Sam.
Somehow Dean gets in contact with Toni and demands to give Sam back which she says no and send her assistant to kill them, which end up going downhill because Mumma Winchester ends up killing her! I'm already loving Mary!
Through Toni's Assistant's phone they get to track where Sam is and that's basically how the episode end.
So, just like I said, now that exciting, but still, good. Apart from Toni, which is so annoying! Can't wait for the boys to get rid of her.
Anyway, this is my first ever Supernatural rant! Hope you guys enjoyed it and I'm sorry is a little too long, I just got carried away. Ups!
Don't forget to leave me in the comments your thoughts about the episode and tell me if you have bee a fan of Supernatural for a long time, I would love to know that.
Until then...
Love,
Daniela.

Arrow | Season 5 Episode 2 - "The Recruits"


Spoiler Alert!

I promise you guys, it's the last rant of the day.
So, another episode of Arrow aired yesterday and, although it was good, I don't think it was as good as the first one.
I feel like this was exactly the opposite of The Flash. With The Flash I was expecting a lot more from the first episode so I didn't like it as much but I loved the second one, with Arrow I didn't really have much expectations from the first episode so I really enjoyed it, but this second one, not as good. It was still good but, since I was really exciting about the recruits and all, I thought it was going to be better. But, don't get me wrong, it was all about the recruits (or, at least, the most part it was) and I liked it, just not as much as I thought I would do.
Anyways so, as expected, in this episode Oliver 'trains' the recruits, with an exercise that he 'learned' at Bratva, and this is when I'm going to start talking about how good this year's flashbacks are. 
Yes people, I think, once again, the flashbacks are an huge part of the episode, because it makes us understand why Oliver is doing what he's doing and, just a side note, I got that what he wanted from the exercise the minute they started fighting like, it's obvious that to work well, you have to work as a team so, yeah, just thought I should share that.
Apart from that storyline, there was also another storyline with AmerTek and all the 'mayor stuff', which I'm not going to talk much because I didn't really like and, to be honest, I think it was a little bit pointless... Apart from the "Ragman", which I found pretty cool. So, it seems like Oliver now has a metahuman in his team.
And, of course, I have to talk about that archer that, once again, just appeared in the end of the episode. 
He calls himself "Prometheus". I'm still really confused about him and why he's so interested in Oliver and it seems like he wants to kill him. I don't know, I still think it might be Malcolm because he hasn't showed up yet and he's the only archer, besides Oliver, Speedy and Roy, that we know of so... Still think it is Malcolm.
Also, before I finish it, there was also this storyline with Diggle that, to be honest, although it was more interesting that the AmerTek one, I didn't find it that good either so... Overall, this episode was a bit disappointing. Hope the next one is better.
Let me know what your thoughts are about this episode and, also, tell me who do you think Prometheus is.
I'll see you tomorrow with a new series that I'm going to start reviewing (surprise).
Love,
Daniela.

American Horror Story: Roanoke | Season 6 Episode 5 - "Chapter 5"


Spoiler Alert!

So, we reached the middle of the season. And with an hell of an episode.
Not that it was that exciting, but because it seemed like it was the end of the season, which it can't be because there's still five episodes to come.
Anyway, I have really mixed feelings about this episode.
First of all, I got really excited because Evan Peters is finally back! And you know, Evan Peters is one of the main reasons why I watch the series (besides me loving horror too much), so I was really happy to finally know what is his character. The down part is that I am not a big fan of his character. For once he's kind of normal, and he seems like a good character but... Didn't really like him. And didn't really like his story too. But, luckily, the episode wasn't all about him (which I thought was going to be) and it got way better!
After we see everything about Evan Peters' character, Edward Philippe Mott, we get back to 'the present day', where the last episode left off, with Shelby, Matt and Flora trapped inside the house.
They try to escape a lot of the other people that were killed there start to 'haunt' them, and that's when Edward Philippe appears and 'saves them', leading them, through an hidden tunnel, outside the house and into the woods.
But that's basically the only good thing that he does because as soon as they're in the woods, Edward leaves them, ending up in them being kidnapped by the Polk family.
Meanwhile, Lee 'is back'. (I have to admit that I've already kind of forgotten about her). She sees all the messages that Matt left her and tried to call him. He ignored her call and that's the moment she knows something is wrong and takes a ride with a police officer to the house.
When Lee arrives at the house, they're about to sacrifice Shelby, Matt and Flora, being Flora the first one. That's when Ambrose says enough is enough and grabs The Butcher and both of them get into the fire. Lee gets Matt, Shelby and Flora and they get out of there.
And that's basically how the episode ends. 
Shelby even says that she kept having a nightmare with the butcher until this day and it ends like that. So, that's why, to me, it seemed like a season finale.
I don't know how this is going to go on because, from the preview for the next episode, I didn't understand a thing so, I'm curious about that.
Let me know what you think is going to happen in the next episode, I would love to know what your theories are.
Until then...
Love,
Daniela.

The Flash | Season 3 Episode 2 - "Paradox"


Spoiler Alert!

Back with a new The Flash rant!
I'm sorry for being a little bit late with this rant but life happened and I just couldn't watch the episode neither live nor yesterday.
But I watched it today and yas!
I know last week my rant wasn't the best but this week's rant is a whole nother story!
This week's episode was so good that I don't even know what to start with.
Ok, I guess I should start with Felicity!
I think you all know by now that Felicity is one of my favourite characters of all time and I'm always happy to see her in Arrow, but in The Flash is a lot more special. I love when they 'share characters' so I loved the idea of Barry recurring to Felicity for help with the changes in the real world that he's now in. I also really liked the idea of us, audience, finding out everything through flashbacks while Barry is telling everything to Felicity. And, although it is kind of messed up, it is also really funny the fact that Diggle now has a son instead of a Daughter. I'm really curious to see how that's going to play on Arrow, but that's for another rant.
So, we basically find out that, besides Joe and Iris not speaking to each other that Cisco's brother, Dante, died and that Cisco is kind of pissed with Barry and that Barry has a new partner, Julian Albert, aka my love Tom Felton!
I gotta say, Tom Felton brought a whole new feeling to The Flash and I'm loving it! I was so excited to see his character and, although him and Barry aren't really friends nor really like each other, I'm loving having in on the series. To be honest, I think it makes me like his character even better and makes me love what he brings to the series even more! I'm really excited to see what's going to happen and, of course, how is he going to find out that Barry is The Flash because, c'mon, we all know that he's going to find out eventually.
Something else really nice about this episode was to see John Wesley Shipp as Jay Garrick from the other earth. We didn't do much really, but it was nice to see him, a little through back to the original Flash.
And, of course, we have to talk about the new villain who, at first, I thought it was going to be The Rival but it turns out, it's going to be this Alchemy guy who's going to be the main villain this season. (At least, that's my thought so far). And, to be quite honest, I'm way more into this guy than The Rival. I know Todd tweeted me and all but, I'm sorry, Alchemy seems way more challenging and a lot different from all the other villains we've seen so far so, I'm excited!
In the very end, Barry tells everyone about the changes that happened in this world and basically everything kind of works out in the end.
Basically the episode ends like that but not without leaving us with some clues for the next episodes. They find out that the Alchemy, who Cisco named Doctor Alchemy, is creating other 'metahumans' from Flashpoint, which means, we are going to see Kid Flash again soon. Also, it looked like everything was fine with Caitlin but, turns out, she's getting the Killer Frost powers so, that's going to be interesting to see as well.
And, obviously, I had to talk about the last seconds of the episode, which are always very exciting.
In this one, Alchemy attacks The Rival in his cell at Iron Heights, which means, he can get in everywhere he wants, which is kind of scarry.
So, that's basically it.
Overall, I loved this episode! It was everything that I thought the first one was going to be so, very pleased with this second episode.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments and I'll see you later with a new American Horror Story rant.
Love,
Daniela.

American Horror Story: Roanoke | Season 6 Episode 4 - "Chapter 4"


Spoiler Alert!

Wow, three rants in one day! I swear it's the last one (for today).
Last night a new American Horror Story episode went live. Unfortunately, I couldn't watch it live but I watched it today and, not the best one, but surely the bloodiest one.
With this episode we got to find a lot more about the story of the ghosts in that land and, turns out, Lady Gaga's character really is one of the major ones.
The episode starts right with a band with the piggy man, which I quite enjoyed, to be honest. I love some creepy stuff and the piggy man is for sure the creepiest thing in this season, at least, so far.
We also find out that Dr. Cunningham is alive, but not for long, because we goes out into the woods with Matt and Shelby to find Flora, he ends up dead. Luckily, before he died, he showed them a lot of the stuff that he discovered through out the years and that helped us, viewers, to understand the story of the land and of the house a little bit better.
That's after Dr. Cunningham death that Matt and Shelby reencounter Cricket. He also tells them more about he found out and that's when we learn more about Lady Gaga's character. We also learn more about her through Matt, who has another 'meeting' with her.
In the very end of the episode another really creepy and bloody scene happens. Thomasyn and the rest of the colony disembowel Cricket and, let's just say, it's not the best thing to watch. I mean, in my opinion, it's super cool, but if you're creeped out by bloody stuff you might want to skip that part of the episode, which is the very end.
But, there's a good thing in all of this. Priscilla helps Flora and she manages to get back to Matt and Shelby so, it's not all bad.
And yeah guys, even though this episode wasn't the best one, it had some creepy cool scenes, some creepy scenes, which I really enjoy and which was the thing that made me start watching American Horror Story in the first place.
Unfortunately, there's still no sign of Evan Peters in this episode, which is sad because I kind of miss him. Him and Matt Bomer so, let's hope they're both in the next episode.
Until then, let me know in the comments your thoughts about this episode.
Love,
Daniela.

Arrow | Season 5 Episode 1 - "Legacy"


Spoiler Alert!

Omg you guys, Arrow is finally back! And with a freaking good episode!
I got to be honest with you, I wasn't really expecting much from this episode. First, because of all the 'Team Arrow' members 'leaving' and also because The Flash's episode wasn't really what I thought it would be, so my expectations for this episode were really low.
But, I was so wrong because this episode was so good!
First of all, I gotta say, for once, the flashbacks seem to actually be related to the season and, also for once, I'm really excited for them.
I've always liked the Bratva 'theme' in some of the episodes, so maybe that's one of the reasons why I'm so into this season's flashbacks, or maybe it's just because this time they are actually good, who knows?!
Also, although the team is kind of 'falling apart' or is already 'apart', I'm actually liking the idea of having a 'new team' and I'm liking this storyline, because, even without the Team together, they are still in the picture, so that's fine by me.
In this episode we got see something that I was really curious to see, Oliver as the mayor. Although in the beginning he was kind of away but his speeches are always so inspiring! I don't know it that's just me but I just love his speeches.
I also really liked to see Oliver and Felicity's interation because things in the end of last season were really weird between them so it's nice to see that they are ok with each other again and that she's still part of the Team.
And, of course, we have to talk about the big bad guy this season, who seems to be Tobias Church, although in the very last minutes of the episode we saw another archer, which seems to be up to no good so, I don't know which is going to be the main big bad. I'm way more curious about this 'dark archer' (which I secretly suspect he's Malcolm but I don't know) then with Tobias. Tobias isn't really that interesting to me, to be honest, and I don't even know what's his 'goal', why is he bad so... Kind of confused.
Someone else that I'm quite enjoying so far is Quentin. He never was that relevant but I liked him in this episode. All the talks with Oliver and such, also really inspirational and I love Paul Blackthorne so...
And, of course, Curtis! I swear to god, I love Curtis! I can't wait to see him as Mr. Terrific, really excited for that!
So, yeah... This episode was basically an introdution to new bad guys, as Tobias kidnaps Oliver and other 'important' people and then with the help of some police officers, as well as the 'usual' team (now Felicity and Quentin), get to rescue the hostages.
Oh, and I got to metion my least favourite part in this episode. I was so excited because, as the episode was ending I just thought to myself 'what a great episode!' but then, something happens. Felicity with another guy! As an hardcore Olicity shipper I hated it! Like seriously, really hated that part! Felicity can't be over Oliver already! I mean, who would be?!
Anyway, this are my thoughts about the episode. Overall, great! Aside from that last thing that I mentioned.
Let me know in the comments what you thought about this episode and please tell me I'm not the only one feeling that way about seem Felicity with another man.
Love,
Daniela.

The Flash | Season 3 Episode 1 - "Flashpoint"


Spoiler Alert!

That's right guys, new series here on the blog!
Well, not really new because I once did a rant of The Flash last year, but it was just because there was a crossover episode between Arrow and The Flash, so I had to do it. But, this time, I'm really doing rants of The Flash, like every single episode. I liked the last season so much that I thought I have to do rants this year so here it is, the first one!
I got very lucky because I had the oportunity to watch it live, which I never could because The Flash airs on a Tuesday and I have classes really early on Wednesday and you know, timezones and all so, I never could... But, this time, I had Wednesday off so, obviously I took the time to watch it live. Unfortunatelly, my link wasn't really bad so I had to rewatch the episode, which isn't that bad, actually.
Anyway, so I have to say that I got a bit disappointed with this episode. Not that it was totally bad, it was quite good, but I just thought it was going to be better and greatter. They got through flashpoint so quickly... I thought they were going to make at least, about 5 episodes with Barry in the flashpoint universe but, instead, they just mentioned that he spent 3 months there and showed him there in this first episode and, by the end of the episode, he's back in his real timeline. The good part is that I think the next episodes are going to be really good, because although he's back to 'the real life', some things have changed. One of them being the relationship between Iris and Joe, and we don't know what else have changed so, it's going to be interesting to see the rest of the season play out.
I think I should also mention that we got a bit of Eobard Thawne in this episode, being him the only one that could actually take Barry back to his timeline. Also, in the flashpoint timeline, we got a glimpse of a new villain. 
At the beginning, I thought it was just a 'small' villan just for flashpoint but, turns out, that same villain, called The Rival, is also 'alive' in the real timeline. The only difference is that in the 'real world' he isn't a villain yet.
And yeah... I also gotta say that I didn't really like flashpoint's Cisco and I hope he isn't this way now on the 'real world'. And I'm also curious to know how Wally is gonna become Kid Flash in this new timeline, since in the flashpoint he was already Kid Flash.
To end this rant, obviously I have to talk about those last seconds of the episode, which are always really exciting. In this one we see that 'The Rival', who's real name is Edward Clariss, is confroted by a mysterious voice giving him the message 'Alchemy' (which I have no clue what it is).
And, that's basically it guys.
Overall, not the best episode but with a great ending which makes me so excited for future episodes! What also makes me really excited is Tom Felton who, sadly, wasn't in this episode yet. So, can't wait for that as well.
So, tell me in the comments your thoughts about this first episode which was really hyped for the past months and also tell me if you like the fact that I'm now also doing The Flash rants. 
Until next time, which is probably going to be in a few minutes because I have an AHS and an Arrow rant to update so, yeah.
Love,
Daniela.
