Supernatural | Season 12 Episode 9 - "First Blood"


Spoiler Alert!

Back with the Supernatural rant and also we have Mary back (as you can see by the photo above).
The episode starts off where the last one ended, with the boys taken to a government black site were they were locked in separate cells until they talk. About two months pass and they don't say a thing, and that's when they are found dead.
Obviously we knew they weren't really dead. They wake up moments after they are taken to the morgue and they get to escape the facility.
Of course all the people in there go after them. They are chased in the woods while they try to get to Castiel, who they called right after they got out. Castiel couldn't handle everything alone so he asked, not just for Mary's help, but also for Mr. Catch and another guy's help. 
At the end, they got free, but not without telling the government guys what they really do. Of course Mr. Catch didn't like it and we see at the end of the episode that he went after those guys and killed them, just like he did with the other girl with psychic abilities.
Then, we get to the exciting part. We find out who Sam and Dean managed to fake their deaths and get out. If you thought about ripper Billy, you were right. Yes, the boys made a deal that they would die and come back to life just one more time and then one Winchester would die. That's the moment were Mary steps up and says that Billy can kill her, that she said one Winchester and she's an Winchester afterall. Billy is ready to kill Mary when Castiel steps in and kills ripper Billy.
I got to say, that was something really unexpected. And then, Castiel's speech. It was so beautiful! He said that the world couldn't leave without the Winchesters and all of them are important and... It was just so damn cute!
I really really liked Castiel in this episode.
Overall, the episode was nice but it didn't add anything much to the story. 
We got to see a different side of Castiel and we got rid of Billy, which was nice but yeah... It was just a nice episode.
I'm sorry about this really short rant but I really didn't have much to say about the episode.
Let me know your thoughts about it and I'll see you tomorrow with a brand new TVD rant!
Love,
Daniela.

Arrow | Season 5 Episode 10 - "Who Are You?"


Spoiler Alert!

Finally up to date with the rants!
So, yesterday Arrow came back after hiatus and I got to watch it live, which means I can do this rant on time.
Overall, I don't think the episode was like wow. It had it's moments but the main thing, which was Lauren coming back, was pretty obvious... I knew right away that it was Black Siren. Even before the midseason break, I knew this wasn't Laurel so when they finally said in this episode that it was Black Siren, I wasn't surprised at all. But, there were some stuff that I really enjoyed about the episode, such as Felicity!
I think this was an amazing episode to show who Felicity really is! She's one of my favourite characters on the show and she's one of my favourite character overall because I can just really relate to her, and the fact that, in this episode, she was the only one that thought something was wrong with Laurel being back, it made me really happy!
Then, after Felicity makes everyone realize that this isn't Laurel, but Black Siren, that's when things start to happen. 
At first, Oliver is kind of in denial. He keeps trying to make Black Siren 'good', that she can become a better person and all, and again, that's when Felicity brings him to his senses and tells him that he's just in denial and that he feels responsible for the real Laurel's death. Oliver then realizes that Felicity is right and then they start thinking of a plan to get Prometheus (since Black Siren is working for him).
I think I might add that that scene between Oliver and Felicity just brough back so many Olicity memories that I just want them together again. I know this is such a bad timing, with Billy being dead and all but... Felicity and Oliver were made for each other so, can they just be together already please?
Anyway, back to the plot...
They then get to 'meet' with both Black Siren and Prometheus but Prometheus gets to escape. Luckily, the geeks, Curtis and Felicity save the day with a device that Curtis built to stop Black Siren's powers and are able to catch her.
Meanwhile all of this is happening, the Team also had to deal with Diggle being in prison, again. Luckily, Oliver gets Adrian, the DA, to represent him. The General arrives and wants to assume Diggle's cutody and that's when Adrian has to come up with a plan to stop that from happening. He manages to bring him into his own jurisdiction which I really liked. To be completely honest, Adrian is a character that I'm really liking! I know there's something sketchy about him but I just can't help it. He's a strong character and besides, he's pretty hot so...
And, in the flashbacks we see Gregor, the Bratva traitor, to attempt to force Oliver's obedience, when he's rescued by Talia, Talia Al' Ghul. Oliver doesn't know yet that it's her but we, audience, know so it's going to be fun to find out more about her.
That was basically it guys. Like I said, not the most exciting episode but still a pretty good one.
Let me know in the comments your thoughts and I'll see you tomorrow with a brand new Supernatural rant.
Love,
Daniela.


The Flash | Season 3 Episode 10 - "Borrowing Problems from the Future"


Spoiler Alert!

And I'm back with a new rant, this time, The Flash!
That's right, The Flash (such as the other shows) is back from the Christmas hiatus and with a pretty good episode.
It wasn't the best episode ever, but it was, overall, good!
We start the episode with Barry having nightmares about Iris dying. Obviously, he didn't tell anyone about what he saw in the future and intends on keeping it a secret. By now, I'm getting tired of this. We've already seen that keeping secrets isn't good, in any show, and they keep doing it over and over again.
And, to make it even worst, obviously a new 'little villain' appears, which Barry and Kid Flash have to try to stop. That's when Barry discovers that if he stops him he's one step closer to the future where Iris die. So he kind of avoids it but then he realizes that he can't keep on doing that and finally tells everyone (apart from Joe) what he saw in the future. Cisco then vibes them both into the Future to see some of the news in order to try and stop some of the events, so then the future can change.
At the same time that this 'storyline' happens, H.R. also opens the Star labs museum and Caitlin keeps on fightin her powers. Yes, she still has the bracelets that keep her powers supressed, but she's having some troubles with them so she goes to Julian for help. 
Personally, that was my favourite part of the episode, but I'm a bit suspicious, because I love Tom Felton and I love his character so... But anyway, she goes asking for help, to which he obviously says no, but then he eventually gives up and Caitling even asks him to join the Team. 
A lot of people didn't like it, but I personally loved it! I think Julian, overall, brings a really fun and different vibe to the show and now being part of the Team (because yes, he them says yes and joins the team at the end of the episode) it makes everything a lot more exciting!
Barry ends up telling Wally that it has to be him (Wally) to catch the new guy so he can change the course of actions and he ends up catching him, making him feel really proud of himself. 
I wasn't really into Wally's character, but I'm starting to like him. He's kind of a new Cisco. Cisco has been acting a little weird and I miss the old Cisco, and Wally brings some type of fun to the show so, it's nice to have him around.
On the other hand, and I know I'm going to get a lot of hate with this, I could't care less about Iris. Yes, I said it! I don't really like Iris and, the fact that she might die at the end of this season, doesn't bother me at all. Yes, she's a strong female character but... I'm just not into her at all! I so much more prefer Caitlin!
And yeah, I think that's it guys.
So, from now on, it seems like we are going to deal with a bunch of events that the Team has to stop in order to stop the main even, Iris death. Let's see how that goes. Personally, I think Iris will die at the end no matter what but... I don't know.
Also, I forgot to say this earlier but I'm shipping Caitlin and Julian really hard like, really hard! I seriously hope they get together by the end of the season.
That's it guys! Hope you guys liked it and let me know your thoughts about the episode and what you think it's going to happen.
Love,
Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 4 - "Day of Wrath"


Spoiler Alert!

I told you I would be back with a new Shadowhunters rant!
So, this week a lot happened! And, I must say, this was one of the best episodes so far and the best this season so that says a lot.
I also heard that this was 'officially' the episode were they start having the new showrunners and everything, so it makes sense that this episode would be better, and it was! Right away, I notices way better camera angles, a better photography and better special effects. I also think the way they intertwined the 'storylines' in this episode was way better and, overall, it was a good episode. Oh, and I also think this episode had kind of a Supernatural vibe (maybe because of the demons and all) so I think that made me like the episode even more.
Anyway so the episode starts with Clary visiting Jace at the City of Bones. There we also find Hodge, who, actually, I have wondered were he was, but I just forgot about it thinking that they wouldn't mention him anymore. Well, they brough him back this episode, but I think it was just to tie up a loose end, because Valentine ends up killing him in the end of the episode. Anyway, it was something nice because this way we can 'end' some storylines that were left hanging.
Then, we have our biggest storyline this episode, the demon that is on the loose. Alec, Clary and Izzy go after that demon but he ends up inside the institute. This demon gets inside a different number of shadowhunters, including Raj, who attacks Lydia and then Alec, who ends up killing Jocelyn.
I'm going to be completely honest with yout, Jocelyn's death wasn't a big deal for me. To tell you the truth, I'm kind of glad she died. I spent the whole episode saying that I hated her and that out of all the characters from all the tv shows that I watch (which are a lot) she's my second least favourite character of all time, right after Sarah from Arrow/Legends of Tomorrow. So, her death wasn't a big deal. I understand that it was a plot twist and it was made to get some impact on most of us but... It just didn't work with me.
After Alec, the demon moves on to Izzy and, luckily, Clary manages to kill the demon (whithout killing Isabelle, obviously). It was a pretty big thing for Clary to kill the demon, still, doesn't make Clary a good shadowhunter or a good character, I'm sorry.
And then, we have our final storyline this episode, with Simon, obviously. So, Aldertree threatens Raphael about Camille and so Raphael goes to Magnus for help. At the same time, Simon is trying to open the box that he got from Camille's place and after attempting and failing, he also goes to Manus for help. That's when Raphael tells him that what's inside the box it's Camille's grave dirt and that with that they'll be able to summon her. Magnus manages to do that and sends her to the Clave. 
Again, one more loose end that the new 'management' of the show had to tie up. 
Anyway, it didn't bother me too much because the main storyline of the episode was big enough to cover that up so, overall, it was a good episode.
I'm excited to see what comes next, since we have tied up basically all the loose ends.
So, tell me in the comments your thoughts about this episode and let me know which are you preditions for future episodes.
I'll see you later with a brand new The Flash episode!
Love,
Daniela.


The Vampire Diaries | Season 8 Episode 9 - "The Simple Intimacy of the Near Touch"


Spoiler Alert!

I'm sorry I took way too long with this rant. This and the Shadowhunters rant. I promise both the Shadowhunters and a new The Flash rant will be up tomorrow!
Anyway, on to The Vampire Diaries rant...
I must say, this was a weird episode for me. 
Last week I had to watch the episode twice because some things were still very confusing to me and this week I had to watch it twice again because the episode just felt weird to me.
To be honest with you all, I think I'm just concerned about what I've been feeling about Stefan's character. You know that Stefan has always been one of my favourite characters (my second one of all, after Kai) and this 'new Stefan', which isn't exactly new, I'm not a really big fan of. Maybe it's because the series is ending and I just don't want the series to end with me hating Stefan. So, I watched the episode twice and I came to the conclusion that it was a good episode in terms of 'turning back' to old seasons and just be like a 'memory lane' of what The Vampire Diaries has been all this years. I also think that this episode gave us a lot of easter eggs for next episodes and I also think they tried to 'confuse' us a little bit as well as give us some answers (for now, because I think some things were just to get us to come up with a different ideia because ours were too close to the truth).
Anyway, I've already talked too much about the episode in general so lets get deeper into it.
The episode starts with Sybil calling Damon saying that she wants the ball (who turns out to be the striker of the bell) that he got from Peter and that he has now. I still have the same opinion about Sybil but what I thought was a bit confusing about this scene was the fact that, at first, Stefan didn't want to go and 'meet up' with Sybil but then wanted to go and kill and then at the Miss Mystic Falls he started working with her. I guess his ultimate goal was to have Damon just for himself but he realized that he couldn't so that's why in the end of the episode he left without him. Anyway...
In this episode something pretty cool happens, Damon finally says no to Sybil! Not about going to meet her but about giving her the striker. That was an huge moment for me and it made me like Damon a lot in this episode.
While Damon is dealing with Sybil, Stefan is just going crazy. I don't know, I'm really not liking this Stefan. He basically realizes that can't have 'bad Damon' back and gives his blood to a bunch of girls at the pageant ending up killing one of them, Violet. Let's just say that Caroline got pretty mad and, at first, she tried to tell him to do things her way but, Seriously Caroline?! Seriously, I just thought that scene really dumb, to be honest. But, at the very end, Caroline threw her engagement ring to Stefan and left. I think her intention was that the ring would do the same as Elena's necklace was doing to Damon but, to completely honest, I don't think it will work. I know I'm an hardcore Stelena fan but I truly believe that Elena is the only one (besides Stefan's mum) that can bring him back, that can turn his humanity on. I don't think his love for Caroline is as strong as it was for Elena so... Still waiting for that Stelena ending (although I think the series will end in a whole other way, which I'll talk in the end).
A lot more happens in this episode, such as Seline and Bonenzo. Let's talk about Seline first.
So, basically, again, we find a lot more things about this bell. We find out that it was made to kill sirens and that only the Maxwell family can ring it. We then see Matt trying to get the bell from Seline's house and Dorien going to Seline to buy Matt some time. Obviously Seline realizes but she actually seems glad that Matt went there to get because, like I said before, Matt and his father are the only ones that can ring the bell. To be completely honest with you, I don't think Sybil's plan is to kill Sybil. I think she has another plan, maybe even kill Cade or something but I'm pretty sure she's up to something.
And, now to Bonenzo, the best part of the episode!
Enzo gives Bonnie a necklace with his blood, hoping that one day she will turn for him. But, because of Elena, Bonnie tells him that she can't. And here starts my theorie.
I think Bonnie is the character that I have been thinking about the most and how she is going to end in the series. I think I've already mentioned this here but I think Bonnie is going to become a vampire and be with Enzo forever. 
In the end of this episode, they drop us a really big bomb - Bonnie asks Enzo if he could, if he would take the cure! Somehow, that never crossed my mind, but even now, I still think she's becoming a vampire. I have like two options for how that will happen. 1) She's in danger and, although she's concerned about Elena and the fact that Kai said that no loop holes or anything, Enzo will give her his blood and she'll become a vampire. or 2) They eventually go to hell to talk to Kai, find out that Bonnie can actually die and become a vampire and Elena will wake up and they'll do that.
I'm pretty sure guys! And, I also think that, if there's a wedding in the end of the series, it is, for sure, Bonenzo's. I don't think Damon and Elena will end up marrying and I don't even think they will end up together. And, I'm not saying she'll end up with Stefan, because I don't think that either, and here's my biggest prediction for the end of the series. Stefan dies!
That's right guys, as much as it pains me to say this, I think Stefan is dead by the end of the series. Remember that this basically is all his story. Season 1 starts with him saying 'and this is my story' so I think it will be someone reading his diaries or something or I don't know... I just think that he dies in the end and, to completely honest with you, I think it's an ending that not most people is expecting. Everyone is expecting a beautiful ending and I kind of want a beautiful ending as well but it would be such a plot twist if he (or someone else important) dies at the end... I don't know, I'm just throwing my theory out there so, if that actually happens, I'll be abble to say that I predicted it.
I'll for sure cry tons if that actually happens but... It would kind of be a good ending.
Anyway, this episode basically ended with Damon getting his humanity back on, because of Sybil (obviously).
I don't really know what's going to happen next episode because from the previous, it seems like or we're in hell, or we're inside Damon's mind, which I think is more likely. Either way, it's going to be a good episode because from what I've seen and heard, we are going to have some old characters back and Vicky is basically 100% confirmed to be in this next episode so... Excited to see that.
Ok, guys, I think that's it for this rant.
I know it is way too long but I just had a lot of theories to tell you. And, if you have any theories you want to share with me, just comment bellow or tweet me, I'd love to know your theories.
See you tomorrow!
Love,
Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 3 - "Parabatai Lost"


Spoiler Alert!

So, just like promised, here I am with a new Shadowhunters rant.
I think it's fair to start this post with saying that this episode was better than the previews ones, but still, not the best series I've seen.
Also, like I mentioned in my last Shadowhunters rant, this time I got to watch the episode live, so I think that might be a factor for me to like the episode better... But yeah, let's jump into the actual episode.
In the end of last week's episode, Jace and Clary got to jump out of Valentine's boat. We now see were they end up. First, we see Jace on a beach, with the wolf girl that Valentine killed. He then runs and finds a bar, full of werewolves that think it was him that killed the wolf girl, starting then chasing him. Meanwhile, we see Clary at the Institute, saying that the tide was so strong that she and Jace got separated.
Aldertreee then keeps searching for Jace, while the best part of the episode happens, Alec and Magnus.
Not much between then happened because, as you can remember, Alec were searching for Jace with the help of that stone that Luke had. Turns out Alec went too deep and he kind of got stuck were his mind went. So Magnus kept trying everything to bring him back... He tried magic, every type of spell and he kept saying Aldertree (who didn't want Magnus there) that his magic was the only thing keeping him 'at surface'. But then, it got to a point that nothing was working that Magnus even tried the true love kiss, which is so damn cute! I swear, Malec is the best thing this series has! I just really want to read the books just because of Malec. 
But yeah, in the very end Aldertree, with the help of Izzy and a bunch of other people got to find Jace and Jace was abble to wake Alec up. 
But, there was also a side story that, wasn't really major to be honest but I have to mention it because it's with one of my favourite characters right now, Simon. 
Simon also had a little storyline in thie episode, with his mum. Obviously, his mum is really worried about him and he finally gives up and goes talk to her, thinking about telling her about now being a vampire. Raphael isn't really happy about it because he thinks Simon should be out looking for Camille and not dealing with his mum right now so, of course, Raphael had to interfere and when Simon meets with his mum, he finds Raphael there, saying that he is his manager, Simon's band's manager and that their going on tour and so and so. And, although it was nice of Raphael to 'cover up' for Simon, I don't think he shoul've done anything and Simon should've told her the truth but yeah... I'm ok with this storyline though.
And yeah, I guess that's it guys. Not the biggest rant though but I feel like there's not much to say about the episode. It was nice, it had some nice flashbacks (which I forgot to mention) and we had some cute Malec moments. We also got introduced to a new character Maia, though... I didn't really like her, sorry.
Anyway, I'm going to stop now. Tell me in the comments what you thought about the episode and I'll see you in my next rant.
Love,
Daniela.

The Vampire Diaries | Season 8 Episode 8 - "We Have History Together"


Spoiler Alert!

The Vampire Diaries is finally back from the winter break and with a pretty different episode, directed by Ian Somerhalder.
Like I said, I feel like this was a pretty different episode, at least, this season. We were 'used to' see Damon being the bad guy and, to be honest, I was starting to get pretty mad at him but this episode the whole thing changed and now Stefan is the bad guy and I actually really liked Damon in this episode.
So, the episode basically follows two storylines, Stefan and Damon and the annoying Sybil. I'm going to start with the Stefan and Damon one because I feel like it's way easier to explain.
As you can remember, in the end of episode 9, Stefan turned off his humanity so this means he's back to his old self. He's trying to control himself to not turn into the reaper, but let's just say that it doesn't really work out (but I'll talk more about that later). Anyway, Damon and Stefan go after people to give to Cade. Stefan chooses a doctor named Tara to turn her 'bad'. We learn that Tara lost her parents in a car crash because of a drunk driver. He then does a pretty messed up plan, compeling her to believe that Damon was that driver. She eventually gives into the darkness and kills Damon, not knowing that he isn't really dead. Later in the episode, Stefan then tells Damon it was all a plan to 'test' Damon. He chose Tara because he not just looked a lot like Elena, but also had a similar life. He also finds Elena's necklace that Damon have been keeping with himself this whole time. Stefan tells him that the necklace (and now Tara) are making him not be 'as bad as he would be' without his humanity and so makes him get rid of the necklace and kill Tara, which he does. But well, in the end, Damon gets back to where the through the necklace and gets it back, while Stefan is at the hospital and... just looses it. His plan to control himself and not turn into the reaper don't really work out and he ends up killing and decapitates everyone in that hospital. And that's pretty much where we end with the Stefan/Damon storyline. Now onto the Sybil storyline.
To begin with, I'm so done with her! Sybil is just an annoying b*tch and seriously, her storyline doesn't seem interesting anymore. Ok, we found a bunch of things in this episode but, comparing with the Cade/Damon/Stefan storyline, and keeping in mind we only have 8 more episodes, things should start happening or we should start to have some answers, which we kind of did in this episode.
Anyway, so in this part of the episode we see Caroline back at the Mystic Falls High School were she went to write an article or something. She then finds out that it was Sybil who 'sent her there' and also finds out that Sybil compeled everyone and is teaching History in the school. And that's when we start finding things out.
We then learn that Sybil's whole plan is to get a bell, a really old bell that she and Seline kind of made like years ago. That was also the part that I got really confused and made me re-watch episode. But after watching the episode twice and also watch some TVD aftershows, I think I got everything right so, here's what I understood:
A long long time ago (and back to Season 1) when the 100 witches were burned in Mystic Falls, both Sybil and Seline were there. One of Matt's ancestors was making a bell, a bell that the witches asked him to do. But, without the witches knowing, Sybil and Seline messed up 'the formula' of the bell. The bell was kept in Matt's family, at this time with his dad, but the Maxwell family was kind of rejected by the other founders family and Peter got really mad that they weren't accepting him and his family because he wasn't rich and just threw the bell on the river, at the Wickery Bridge. Later, Elena's parents had the accident there and, when the police was 'rescuing' the car, Caroline's mum found the bell and kept it with her. When she died, Caroline packed everything and put all the boxes in her garage and yeah, that's how the bell ended up in Caroline's garage.
I think I got everything right. But I must say, it was really hard for me to keep up with all of this. I think it's a good way to tie everything up like this last season to the very first season but I just think it's a lot to take in. 
Anyway, finding about that, Caroline and Sybil go to get the damn bell but, guess what? It isn't there! Turns out, Seline got it first and left a note for Sybil, taunting her. And yeah, that was basically it.
Not much happened in the episode. I think it was fine and it gaves us a lot of new information that are actually useful and explain a lot of what is happening, but nothing major happened.
I'm excited for next episodes because first, next episode is going to be a lot about Elena and, although I'm not her biggest fan, it's going to be nice to see some flashbacks, mostly of the Miss Mystic Falls, which is one of my favourite things from the first seasons. Second, it was confirmed that Vicki is going to be in episode 10 and again, although I never really liked her, it's going to be nice to see some old faces and besides, this might mean we are going to hell, which leads me to the third and best thing, Kai! That's right guys, Kai is almost 100% confirmed! Chris Wood a few weeks ago tweeted something about not being about to make it to a TVD convention because he was filming and he then added a little devil emojie and then, a few days ago, Julie also tweeted something about Kai possibly being in one (or more) episodes so, yes people Kai is totally going to be in this last season! You know Kai is my favourite character ever and I'm really really obsessed with him and with Chris Wood so, I just can't wait to see him! Because, if we are going to hell, Kai has to be there! There's no way Kai isn't in hell.
And yeah, that's it!
Hope you guys liked the rant and I'll see in later with a new Shadowhunters rant. 
Love,
Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 2 - "A Door Into the Dark"


Spoiler Alert!

I know, I took way too long with this post! But, to make up for it, tomorrow there's going to be up two new rants, episode 3 of Shadowhunters and a new The Vampire Diaries rant so, keep an eye on the blog tomorrow.
Anyway, like I said in my previous post, here I am with a new Shadowhunters rant.
I think I should start this post with saying that I'm starting to be really disappointed with this series. I knew the series wasn't the best but I understood it like last yet, when the series was new and was just starting but now, with a second season, I was hopping for a way better and an improved series, which isn't happening. Sure, there is a few points that are getting better (which I'm going to talk about in a minute) but there's still so many things wrong with the series.
But, let's get really into the episode.
So, people are still trying to find Jace and Valentine. Everyone is working for that, apart from Clary, who got told that she wasn't a good fighter yet and that she was way into deep in the situation, so she had to be out of this. That's when the problems start happening, and not just in the storyline, but with the acting and everything. Clary then goes back to the Brooklyn Academy of Art 'trying' to live a normal life. Well, as you can probably already tell, this is such a bad decision and, to add to that, Kat just isn't a good actress. This really pains me to say, because I think Kat is such a lovely person and everything but... She isn't a good actress. And Clary already is such an annoying character with such a bad storyline that, which a bad actress, it just makes everything wrong! If it wasn't for the other actors and characters that are actually good I would totally stop watching the series!
Another character that, just like I mentioned last week, I'm not liking at all is Jocelyn. I really thought, from the few apperances that she had last season,that she was going to be a loveable character... I was wrong! And, just like Kat, Maxim isn't a great actress.
And again, another 'low point' in this season, in my opinion, so far, is Izzy. I really liked Izzy last season but, this season, at least so far, she hasn't really been doing anything. Ok, this episode she had like a pretty cool scene, where she beats that guy in a fight, and I really enjoyed that but that was it! No more cool scenes. Hopefully we will see more of her in the next couple of episodes.
Anyway so, back to the storyline.
Later in the episode Jocelyn offers her assistance to Izzy and Alec in order to find both Jace ad Clary (who got abducted by Dot and sent to Valentine's boat). In the very end Clary and Jace get to escape but we don't really know where they end up because then the episode ended.
But, before I wrap this post, I want to mention the best parts of the season so far, Magnus and Simon! Magnus already was a good character and Harry is such a good actor that seriously, he's basically the only one that saves this series but I need to give a shoutout to Alberto who is doing an amazing job with Simon! Simon was a character that  enjoyed, but I never really paid much attention to him. Ok, he was cute and nerdy and all that but, this season, I think Simon is one of the best! Like I said, Alberto really improved his acting and I think Simon is the character that has a better storyline, with him finding out everything about living as a vampire so, I'm excited to see more of Simon.
And yeah guys, that's basically it!
I know I've been a bit harsh with this series but I was just expecting more.
Anyway, hope you liked it and a new episode is going to air in about 30 minutes so come watch it with me because I'm going to live tweet! But, if you can't make it, a new rant will be up tomorrow night so, don't worry.
Until then!
Love,

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 1 - "This Guilty Blood"


Spoiler Alert!

The blog is finally back from hiatus! And, with the new season of Shadowhunters!
That's right guys, shadowhunters is back so, obviously, I'm here to tell you everything that I thought about this first episode.
I'm mostly going to state the things that I like and didn't like about the episode because I want to campare it to the first season, mostly because a lot of things changed from the last seaosn to this one, such as production people and the tone of the story so I think I should mostly focus on the differences between the two seasons. Still, I'm going to talk a bit about the events in the episode, althought, I might say, not much happened in this episode, to be honest. And, well, I guess I could start with that.
Yes, not much happened in the episode, which was a bit of a let down for me but I kind of understand it. Something else that changed from the past season to this one is the number of episodes - last season we had 13 episodes and this season we are going to have 20 episodes, so I understand that they have to drag the storyline a little bit.
Something else that I didn't really like in the episode, and I thought I was going to enjoy, was Jocelyn. Last season I was really looking forward for her to wake up, but now that she's awake, I'm kind of annoyed by her. In the very end of the episode, when she tries to kill Jace I got really angry at her and for a moment I just wished she didn't wake up. Hopefully my feelings towards her will change as the season goes on but, for now, not really liking her.
On the bright side, Izzy and Alec never disappoint me. Ok, some scenes between Alec and Magnus left me a bit speechless but that last scene where Alec apologizes to Magnus was just really cute that I forgave him for the other scenes. But, I must say, my favourites character this episode was, for sure, Simon! He was just amazing and, I don't know if it's because I just can really relate to him but I just really enjoyed his character this episode, a lot more than I usually do so, Simon is character that I'm going to be looking forward to see more often on the screen.
And, I guess the only one left to talk about is Clary and... My opinion didn't change. It really pains me to say this because I really like Kat but, she just isn't a good actress... She got better, that's right, by the end of last season I could see that she had improved her acting but... I thought she was going to be so much better this seasona and, that didn't happen so.. I'm a bit disappointed with her.
But, because it's just not bad things, I think the tone of this season is a lot better and the special effects way better so, let's see where this season goes. I'm also really looking forward to know who's going to play Sebastian because, although I didn't read the books, I know about Sebastian and I have a feeling that I'm going to enjoy his character a lot so, really looking forward to that.
And that's basically it guys. I know I didn't touch much on the story of the episode but basically all that happened was the Institute getting a new 'boss' who sent everyone after Jace to get him, dead or alive and stoping our main characters from searching for him. That was basically it.
So, I hope you guys liked this come back and I also hope you had amazing Holidays and I'll see you next week with a new Shadowhunters rant.
Love,
Daniela.
