The Challenge: Champs vs Pros | Season 30 Episode 3 - "Watch Out for the Wolfpack"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!
I'm back with a new rant! 
Before I start the proper rant, I just want to let you all know that, from now on, there's only going to be The Challenge and The Originals rants up because all of my other series are on hiatus, so there's going to be less posts up. Shadowhunters is also going to start next week (I think) so there's that too. Just letting you know.
Anyway, so back to The Challenge... I need to say that this season has been a lot more interesting that the previous one. I feel like, because they are only going to air 6 episodes, they try to make it a lot more about the challenges and not have like 'filler' episodes, which I really appreciate. Like I said in some of my previous rants, I don't watch the show because of the drama, I watch it because of the challenges. Of course some drama here and there is good, but I feel like last season they focused too much on the drama, which isn't happening this season, and I'm liking it.
About this week's episode I need to say that it was quite interesting!
This was a girl elimination week, which meant female captains for the main challenge. Ashley M volunteered herself again and, from the Pros, Lindsey also volunteered herself, so there's that.
The challenge this week was a strengh challenge, so from that we already knew that it was going to be good! Before the episode aired, I saw one preview that was a 'battle' betwwen Camila and Tia and, obviously, I was rooting for my girl Camila but, at the same time, because they focused so much on the fact that Camila was so strong and Tia was so small and fragile I knew that Camila was going to loose. And guess what?! Yeah, Camila lost... This wasn't an elimination, so that's fine... The Champs ended up loosing against the Pros overall, which sucks, but nothing is lost so I still have hope on my Champs!
Then, obviously, the nominations created some drama, mostly on the Pros Team because you know, Lolo... Plus, no one wants to go, and no one wants to vote in anyone in case they get mad and, mostly, everyone is afraid of Lolo so basically everyone wants to vote her hin but no one is able to.
Anyway, since the Champs lost, Ashley M was already in for the elimination and then the Team voted and it came to a tie between Ashley K and Cara Maria (because Camila voted for herself since she didn't want to vote for either of them) and the rules say that, if it comes to a tie, it's the other person that is already in for elimination that chooses who she wants to go in with, so Ashley M chose Ashley K.
On the Pros side, like I said, there was a lot of drama but, in the end, Lindsey, who was the Team captain, chose Lolo. Then, the rest of the team basically made it a tie between Tia and Louise, just like the champs, and Lolo chose Tia, obviously.
The rest of the episode focused a lot on that and on the fact that, once again, Tia was so small and she was going to go against a beast like Lolo but then, the elimination came and plot twist!
Ashley K and Ashley M are first and it was a pretty even match. If it wasn't for Ashley K who scored for Ashley M, Ashley K would've won, but instead Ashely M won. Then, it came to the Pros.
Right when they are about to start the 'challenge' Lindsey stops it and asks if she can go in instead of Tia, which was wow!
Obviously the episode ended like that, without us knowing if Lindsey was really going against Lolo (since it was Lolo's choice if Lindsey could replace Tia) because they have always to keep us guessing...
To be honest, I don't think Lolo is going to want that. In the very end of the episode she says that her competetive side wants to say yes but, I doubt it, to be honest. But I really think it would be a lot more interesting so, let's see.
Well, I guess that's basically it from me.
Let me know what you thought of the episode and tell me if you think Lolo is going to let Lindsey go in instead of Tia.
Love,
Daniela.

Arrow | Season 5 Episode 23 - "Lian Yu"


Spoiler Alert!

Oh my god, I'm still shook with this season finale.
This week, I got to watch the episode live and live tweet and I'm so glad I did, even thought it didn't really end like I wanted to.
A little bit like yesterday, this things didn't go my way and yes, I'm just going to get straight to it and say that Adrian died. You know I've been loving him (and I still do) and I really didn't want him to die but, in the end, he really did. But, before that, a lot of other things happened, which I quite enjoyed so let's break the episode down.
So, it started right where the last episode ended, with Oliver recruiting Slade to help him take down Chase. In that moment, we also learn that Slade no longer hates Oliver due to the Mirakuru completely out of his system.
Then, we see that Oliver also recruited Harkness and we also see both Slade and Harkness, with Oliver, Merlyn and Nyssa talking about weapons and stuff, when a missile hits their plane which destroys basically all their weapons.
With this happening, they decide to just start looking for Chase and all the people that he kidnapped.
They find Felicity, Curtis, Thea and William's Mother and, in that moment, Talia and Evelyn appear and we find out that it was actually a trap.
We also find out that Harkness was alread working for Chase and he tries to get Slade on his side too. Then, while I was watching live, it cut to commercial break and I really thought that Slade was going to turn against Oliver but, luckily, he didn't and he helped take down Evelyn but Talia and Harkness are able to escape. 
Anyway, they get to free Felicity, Curtis, Thea and William's Mother (Samantha) and they lock Evelyn where they were.
With that, they decide to slipt up and, I don't really like when, in series, they split the team, but in this case I think it was good so Oliver tasks Malcolm to take Felicity and the others to Adrian's plane in order to escape Liam Yu. And here starts all of my favourite scenes, beginning with an Olicity kiss!
You know I love Olicity as much, or maybe even more, as I love Adrian Chase so this moment was huge! Mostly because it was Felicity that kissed Oliver and this means Olicity is about to become real again so I can't wait for that!
After that, Malcolm leaves with Felicity and the others, while Slade, Oliver and Nyssa go find everyone else.
This was when something happened and it looked like Slade had turn on Oliver again but... it was just another part of their plan!
They find John, Rene, Dinah and Quentin and Oliver is able to give Dinah the device that Curtis made for her (I don't really remember what it was for) and she's able to 'scream' and free everyone.
Then, Quentin is able to knock out Black Siren to save Dinah while Nyssa defeats Talia, which was another of my favourite parts of the episode. I was really looking forward to this fight between the sisters and it was seriously really cool!
Meanwhile, Thea sets foot on a landmine and they have to come up with something. Malcolm wants to take her place but she's just stubborn, so Malcolm is forced to push her and take her place. He tells the others to leave and that's when Harkness finds Malcolm and we just hear the bomb go off.
I assumed Malcolm did something and that Harkness was the only one to die, but today Jonh Barrowman (who plays Malcolm) posted on instagram that Malcolm really died and that he no longer will be on the show, which is pretty sad. I wasn't expecting that at all!
Felicity and the others find the plane but that's when they find out that the whole island is rigged with C4, which will explode upon Chase's death. Because of that, I really thought that Adrian wasn't going to die, and it really seemed like it because while Adrian and Oliver were fighting, Oliver said that he wasn't going to kill him, but that was also the moment when everything started to go downhill (for Chase).
He eventually gets to escape so Oliver just tells Diggle to go meet Oliver and the others to help them get out of the island, since it would be Malcolm to fly the plan and he's no longer alive. So, Diggle does that and Oliver goes after Chase.
That's when he sees him in a boat (and that's when I understood what Adrian meant when he said, last episode, 'I'll see on the boat'). They have kind of a fight, but Adrian takes William and threatens Oliver, saying that he basically has to choose bettween William and everyone else because, if he kills him, everyone else will die but William will be safe, but if he doesn't kill him, he will kill William.
In that moment, I really thought that Oliver was going to choose everyone else, but that's when he shoots Adrian on the foot and takes William into his arms. And this is when everything happens.
We learn that the plane have been sabotaged by Chase, so they are not able to leave the island and, in that moment, Oliver tells everyone to run to a ship on the eastern shore but... Chase kills himself in that moment.
I just couldn't believe. I was (and still am) really sad. I really thought that he wasn't going to die because Oliver wasn't going to kill him but... He killed himself. And that isn't the only thing. Because he killed himself, all the C4 in the island explode and the episode ends with Oliver and William watching it in horror and we don't know what happened to everyone else!
I didn't take that that serious because we know they won't kill off Felicity, Diggle, Rene and Dinah (at least) because their series regulars and they didn't say anything about leaving the show, so they didn't die but still, it was a pretty shocking ending! So much better than The Flash's!
And, to end the rant, I need to talk about the last of the flashbacks. So, Oliver gets to kill Kovar and his men and reach the boat and time and call Moira saying that he's going home. And yeah, this is the end of the flashbacks.
I don't know how I feel about that. I was never a fan of the flashbacks but they were part of the show so... Let's see how the next season will be without them.
And this is the end of Season 5.
For me, this was one of Arrow's best season, if not the best one! I'm still sad/mad about Adrian's death but I was kind of expecting it, althought I had hope.
Besides that, everything else was perfect and I just can't wait for Season 6!
Let me know all your thoughts about the season finale and I'll see (probably only next week), with a new rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Champs vs Pros | Season 30 Episode 2 - "Settling the Scores"


Spoiler Alert!

Well, it seems like this isn't a good day for me in terms of rants...
I didn't want to start with this but I just need to.
You know that I'm Team Bananas and I've always been Team Bananas and I gues this last couple of Challenges haven't been the best for him. Yes, as you might already guesses, he went home this episode and it was just stupid. He didn't get into any fight or anything (I mean, he did have an argument with CM Punk but it was just that) it was just the elimination that 'he got'. And who he went against.
We went against Wes and he lost and you could see in his face that he was seriously mad about that, and I totally get it! If it was me I would be the same way! I don't like Wes either and loose against him, in this elimination... It was just pure luck and I really wish this was a physicall challenge because, if it was, I'm sure Bananas would've won.
Anyway, now that I got this out of my chest, let's talk about all the other things that happened in this episode.
Luckily, we didn't have much drama in this one, apart from that argument between Bananas and CM Punk, we just had something pretty small between Lolo and Lindsey and kind of something between CM Punk and Shawne (?). So, I'm just going to talk about the Challenge.
Once again, this was an oldie. You remember that challenge they had on Free Agents, where they were wrapped in some time of 'paper' and they just had to roll over stuff? Well, this was basically the same thing. Them wrapped and rolling over ketchup and all hat stuff. The only difference was that, this time, they had a 'pack of chips' in their mouths, which would make it harder.
Also, this was a 'time challenge', where they add all the times and see who did best and this time The Champs Won! At least that, Imma Right?! 
Then, it came to the nominations and you can imagine how that went... 
In the Pros, since they lost, and CM Punk was the Team Leader, he went and then everyone else chose Shawne... I'm not going to talk much about the elimination so I'm just going to say that CM Punk won and I didn't like it either so.. Yeah...
Then, on the Champs Team, since they won, and Jordan was Team Captain, he was safe and he had to choose someone, which he chose Wes. Then, the rest chose Bananas and you already know how that went.
It really seems like this hasn't been the best challenges for Bananas... So, I basically only have Camila left... Once again.
I'm going to keep watching, obviously, but it's so bittersweet to have him go home right in the beginning. Let's hope he does better in the next Season (because yeah, there's rumors that he's going to be in it so, I'm praying that he wins that one).
Anyway, let me know what you thought about the episode and I'll see you tomorrow with a new rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Flash | Season 3 Episode 23 - "Finish Line"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!
Unfortunately this is the last The Flash rant this season. Also unfortunate is the rant that I bring you.
Yes, I didn't like the finale the much. I mean, it's not that I didn't like it, it is just that this episode was too predictable. Basically everything in this episode was predictable.
Like the freak that I am, obviously I've been reading/watching some review from other people throughout the season and there's a channel that I really enjoy (JUICEfromthebox) that predicted this whole episode so this wasn't a surprise for me, starting with the beginning.
Everyone knew that Iris wasn't really dead, she couldn't be. Still, I saw some people really believing that she was but I think those people were just dumb. I'm sorry but that's what I think. It was pretty obvious that something was going to happen so she wasn't really dead and, right after watching and reviewing last week's episode, I went to Juice's youtube channel to see what he had to say about the episode because, like I said, I really enjoy his reviews, and he basically predicted what happened.
He said that H.R. switched places with Iris with that tech that he has and that he was the one that died. Guess what happened? Exactly that.
Then, because Iris didn't die, everything from the future was going to change, which meant Savitar would disapear because Iris didn't die so he was never created. To prevent that, he kidnaped Cisco and forced him to rebuild the Bazooka into an intradimentional quantum splicer so that Savitar could create fragments of himself to be dispersed throughout time and protect himself from the paradox.
Then comes the only part that I wasn't expecting and, to be honest, the part that I enjoyed the most.
Connecting to last episode, Barry remembers something that Snart said about him (Barry) always being the hero, so he decides to help Savitar so the time paradox don't catch to him.
Then, Savitar goes to STAR Labs and meets everyone and that was the moment that I started to like Savitar, after all, he's just Barry but a little bit evil (and you know how I like evil guys). I loved his interaction with Iris but, unfortunatelly, all of that was part of Savitar's plan to get inside STAR Labs, and destroy it with the philospher's stone.
Back to his 'lair', he orders Caitlin/Killer Frost to kill Cisco but Gypse appears and saves him, taking him to somewhere else.
Then, Savitar goes on with his plan. Opens a portal, through which Black Flash appears to take him, but Caitlin destroys him with her powers.
Savitar attempts to carry on with the plan but it's revealed that Cisco actually modified the Bazooka into a skeleton key to free Jay from the Speed Force prison.
That's when the battle begins. Wally, Barry and Jay face off Savitar while Cisco and Gypsy face off Caitlin and, when Cisco is about to 'kill' Caitlin, he gives her the serum that Julian showed in the beginning of the episode, that could turn her back to 'just Caitlin'. 
She doesn't take the serum but she kind of becomes her old self and, when Savitar is about to kill Cisco, that's her who saves him.
After that, Barry phases through Savitar's suit and destroys it. He lets Savitar live but, as soon as Barry turns his back on him, Savitar is about to go after Barry and that's when Iris shoots Savitar, kills him and he's erased from existence.
We then move on to some scene which were kind of leaked - the HR funeral scene.
In that scene, Caitlin appears and tells the Team that she decided not to use the serum and then leaves them in order to find her own purpose.
Then, when everything seems alright, something happens, and here comes something that was, again, so predictable and that actually, again, Juice predicted.
A storm appears over Central City, created by the Speed Force. Why? Because the prison doesn't have anyone in there since Savitar is dead and Jay got out.
If you could see me right now... I'm seriously rolling my eyes because this was so predictable.
Of course Barry then says that he should go to the prison because he created Flashpoint and it's because of him that all of this happened. And so he does and that's how the episode and season end.
It really pains me to say that I didn't like this season finale but that's the truth.
Like I said, it's not that it was bad, it was just predictable. But I guess when a TV show is predictable, that is bad, that means the writers aren't really doing a good job. I mean, if it was just one or two people guessing this ending... But no, it was basically the whole fandom and that's not good.
Next season looks like it's going to have a good storyline because it's going to be hard to get Barry out of the Speed Force so let's see how they're going to do this,
Anyway, this is may opinion about the season finale. I'm sorry if this wasn't what you were expecting but, like I said in previous rants, I'm here to be real and say my true opinion about the episodes, and this is what I felt so, I'm sorry if you didn't like it.
Let me know what you thought about the episode and I'll see you in a few hours with a new The Challenge rant.
Love,
Daniela.

The Originals | Season 4 Episode 9 - "Queen Death"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!
Here it is brand new The Originals rant.
I got to be honest with you, this episode didn't really stuck in my head, which means I might not cover all the events that happened. I'm going to try to cover as much as I can /as I remember, but just keep that in mind.
Like I said, this episode didn't stuck, which means it wasn't one of my favourites. Don't get me wrong, I liked it anyway, we had a lot of Hope moments, which are my favourites and we finally have the 'real' Hollow, so it's going to be interesting for now on.
But, back to the beginning ot the episode it actually didn't start like the previous one ended, which I guess was just to keep us waiting to find out if Elijah was really dead.
Turns out he wasn't but he was about to, and that was the main concert throughout the whole episode.
So Klaus starts working with Marcel, and then Freya joins them, as well as Vincent and Hayley. You could say that it was an 'all-hand-on-deck' kind of situation because, not only they wanted to get Elijah back, but also they needed to stop The Hollow from getting to her real body.
They do everything they can but, in the end, The Hollow gets her hands on the last bone and she just does some type of magic and the very last shot that we see is her crawling out of a tree, really disgusting!
But, while all of this was happening, they were also trying, like I said, to find a way to save Elijah and, at first, Klaus volunteers himself to be the one to die, and then be stuck inside the necklace that Finn was last season, so Elijah doesn't have to die, but obviously something went wrong and their only option was really to try and put Elijah inside that necklace, which would be risky because he was too weak. 
Then, the Hollow does her magic, the necklace breaks and it just left us thinking that he was really dead and, to be honest, I kind of wish he was. I don't know about you guys, but Elijah isn't the same character that I used to love and now basically him and Klaus switched places and... I just think it would be, as much as it would be tragic, it would also be unexpeced and kind of a plot twist, but I don't think they would do that unless Daniel Gillies had other show to film or he wanted to leave the show, which none is happening so, of course, as you can imagine, he is not dead.
And then, we see in the preview that the only way to get him back is to get inside his head and search for him, so that's what Hayley does, and that's basically it.
Like I said, not much, but at the same time, a lot.
Next episode will only hair in June so we have a week without knowing what's going to happen.
Anyway, let me know your thoughts about the episode and I'll see you in my next rant.
Love,
Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 12 Episode 22 & 23 - "Who We Are" & "All Along the Watchtower"


Spoiler Alert!

So, here I am with the last Supernatural rant this season.
I decided to rant about the two episodes in the same post because they aired one after another, like in a two hour season finale, so I thought it would make sense to put the two episode in the same rant.
Unfortunatelly, I wasn't able to watch the episode(s) live yesterday because I was filming all day and I was too tired, but I watched today and Oh My God when I thought Supernatural couldn't be better the throw this at me.
I enjoyed so much more the 'second' episode, so I may talk more about that one but let's start with episode 22, which was the ending of the British Men of Letter storyline.
In the beginning, this storyline was a bit boring, but then it got interesting. Unfortunatelly, I think there wasn't much they could do with it, that's why they ended it just like this and not in a 'so exciting' way.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed a lot of things in that episode but it wasn't my favourite.
Anyway, we start the episode basically where we left off. We see that Mary went after the other hunters and is going towards Jody Mills.
Luckily, when Mary arrives there, Alex is also there and gets to help Jody subdue Mary.
Meanwhile, Sam, Dean and Toni are still locked up in the bunker. We see them trying to escape through two days but with no luck. That's when the thing that everyone was so excited about is finally put to use - Dean's grenade launcher! That's right guys, Dean gets to use the grenade launcher and that's what saves their life, because that is the reason why Dean was able to escape to hit the bunker's manual override.
After that, they head over to Jody Mills' house, after she tells them what happened with Mary.
That's also when they arrive there that Toni reveals that she can't undo what she did to Mary. Instead, Dean has Toni help him enter Mary's mind where he finds her trapped in a memory of 1983.
In order to undo the brainwashing, Dean starts saying that Mary ruined his life and so one and so one and that was the part that really made me cry. Seriously, that scene was so good but so hard to watch the same time. Applaus to Jensen because he really did an amazing job, not only in that scene, but that scene was seriously incredible.
Something that was also incrdible was Sam's speech to get all the remaining hunters to help and fight the British Men of Letters. That was also remarkable and, althought this episode wasn't the best, it sure had really good moments!
It was also good to she the outcome of it, which, in case you were wondering, Sam and the hunters did win the fight. Oh, that is also when he learns about Lucifer being free.
Back in the bunker, we see Dean being pulled out of Mary's mind and that's when we see Mr. Ketch and we see that he killed Toni. That was shocking to me because I wasn't expecting it at all.
Then, obviously, comes the fight between Dean and Ketch, which was also excitng and, nothing predictable, as Mr. Ketch is about to kill Dean, Mary wakes up, as her 'normal self' and shoots Mr. Ketch. She then kills him and, as much as I liked it, I really wanted to be Dean to kill him but I guess this way is fine too.
And everything seems to end well (at least in this episode,)
Until Sam tells Dean and Mary about Lucifer, and that's when episode 23 starts.
We see the boys trying to find a way to stop Lucifer and, of course, their first thought is to call Rowena, so they do that.
Unfortunatelly, who answers is Lucifer himself, saying that he killed Rowena. Right away I was shocked because I've been asking for Rowena all this time just to now find out that she's dead?! They didn't even let us say goodbye! It can't be, I just refuse to have her dead like this!
Anyway, they talk to Lucifer and after that, they decide that, since they really can't stop him, the only way is to try to find Cass and Kelly and keep them away from Lucifer. So they start looking for weird events, because that's a sign that a nephilim is about to be born.
That's when Crowley appears and we see that he wasn't dead. We all basically already knew that he wasn't but, for those that were distracted, they do explain how he's alive so, that's also good.
Meanwhile, where Cass and Kelly are staying, Cass finds a rift that the baby opened, which leads to an alternate post-apocalyptic reality resulting from the Winchesters having never been born.
The Winchesters are eventually able to locate Cass and Kelly and, that's when they arrive, that Cass show they the alternate  reality, where they meet an alternate reality Bobby Singer.
After that, Crowley shows up (again) and that's when they think of a plan.
We don't see them discussing this plan, but what we see next is very clear, they are going to try and lock Lucifer in that alternate reality.
So, in order to do that Bobby gives them a machine gun capable of killing angels so that they can use against Lucifer to buy some time while Crowley and Sam perform a spell to seal the rift. The only thing is, in order to perform that spell, someone has to die and, right away, when Crowley says that I think that he's going to scrifice himself. Guess what he does? Yes, exactly that.
I was shocked, really! And, as if that wasn't enough, Lucifer is able to follow them out of the rift and he kills Castiel before it closes! Like, what the hell is happening in this show?! I'm sure they are going to do something to get this characters back but... Seriously, I wasn't expecting none of this and just to imagine them really dead... I can't! I need to have Rowena, Crowley and Castiel back! 
But it doesn't end here guys! Mary then shows up and, after fighting Lucifer, she gets him through the rift, trapping him, but in the process, she traps herself in there too and the rift just closes.
And, as we're about to end the episode, we see Dean mourn Castiel's death and Sam goes inside the house to find Kelly dead and Lucifer's son already born, and with the appearance of a teenager. And it just ends like that!
Supernatural always end their seasons like this and this is really painful because now I'll have to wait 5 months to know what is going to happen!
Seriousyl, this season finale was incredible and it left me with so many questions! The biggest of them all obviously is 'are we getting our characters back?', because I just don't want them dead, I just can't.
Anyway, I think that's it guys. Huge season finale!
Let me know all your thoughts and Supernatural rants only in 5 months time (saddly).
Love,
Daniela.

Arrow | Season 5 Episode 22- "Missing"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!
Here I am with a brand new Arrow rant. A little bit late, but it is here.
This is the penultimate episode of the season and, although I think this was just a set up for the finale, and there wasn't much about it, I enjoyed.
I'm going to 'cut the crap' and just say the truth. You already know that I freaking love Adrian Chase, so basically everyone episode that he's in is going to be a good one for me, and this one was the case.
The episode didn't have much but I just love Chase and I can't help it but mainly be into the episode because of him. 
Of course there was a lot of other moments that I enjoyed like the beginning of the episode with Oliver and Felicity in Oliver's Birthday Party and all the cute stuff. And I liked specially the fact that they are in fact trying to get back together, so that fills my Olicity shipper heart.
Like I said, the episode start with this but soon everything turns upside down when we see Curtis being kidnapped and find out that Rene and Dinah were kidnapped as well. Which means that Rene didn't go to the meeting with the judge because he was kidnapped, which is already better than he just not showing up.
Obviously they find out right away that this was Adrian's plan all along (just like I said in my previous rant) and that's when Oliver goes talk to him and we see that scene that was released earlier with Chase actually 'pretending' to be Oliver and actually knowing what he was going to say. I gotta say that I really enjoyed that scene. Josh Segarra is really good as Adrian Chase! Love it!
After that, Thea and Quentin are also kidnapped, this time by Black Siren and Evelyn (that bitch), still following Adrian's 'orders' and that's when Malcolm Merlyn shows up to Oliver wanting to help him, because Thea was kidnapped.
That was actually a surprise for me because I've seen him in the previews for the finale and such and I really thought that he was going to be on Adrian's team. But, to be honest, this makes sense. Only because of Thea though, but yeah, I kind of liked that.
Oliver and Malcolm try to kidnap Chase but that's when he reveals that he also kidnapped William, Oliver's son, and because of that Oliver is forced to free him.
Felicity and Diggle are also kidnapped, by Talia and the League of Assassins, which leads to Oliver recruiting Nyssa to help him and Malcolm fight Chase 'and his friends'.
This is when we get to the end of the episode.
Oliver than finds out that Adrian took everyone that he kidnapped to Lian Yu, to which, of course, Oliver flies there, with Malcolm and Nyssa and, the last scene we see, after Oliver arriving is him going to Slade and asking for his help.
We already knew that this was going to happen though. We knew that he was coming back and it wouldn't make sense to have Slade on Adrian's team, so it was obvious that he was going to be on Oliver's Team. Nonetheless, it was exciting and now it's when the fun is gonna start!
I'm seriously really excited for the last episode of this season! This is going to be an huge episode, with basically all the characters on the show (and even previous ones) and it's going to be an epic battle! I just hope they don't kill Adrian. I mean, Oliver said in this episode that he wasn't going to give him that satisfaction so... I assume he won't kill him?! I'm seriously praying he won't kill him because I love Adrian and I think he's such a good character! Besides, Josh is really good (and really hot) and I want to keep him around!
Besides, we know that Black Siren is going to be on the Team so, I'm also curious to know how they are going to do that. Although, I'm not really happy with that decision. I feel like they just can't let an actor go... I'm tired of this 'storyline' and I think they just did this to make Laurel's fans happy. Anyway, I can deal with that...
Before I end this rant, I need to talk a little bit about the flashbacks, which weren't amazing, but were interesting enough.
We saw Oliver with Kovar, after he kidpanned him. Kovar injects a drug on Oliver that makes him suffer with flashbacks to times he killed or watched others die over the last five years. After everything, he still manages to escape.
I don't know if we'll have flashbacks in the next episode, but I'd like to see some parts of the very first episode of Arrow. I think that would be cool.
That's it guys.
Overall, it was a nice episode. Not my favourite, but Adrian makes everything better (I'm sorry to keep mentioning him, I just like him too much).
Let me know your thoughts and predictions for the season finale and I'll see you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Flash | Season 3 Episode 22 - "Infantino Street"


Spoiler Alert!

This episode was just wow!
So, here I am with the last rant of the day and it is the pre-finale the flash episode!
Oh my god, where should I start?!
This episode had basically everything and, before you even think about it, no, I'm not that shocked or sad about Iris death in the end. Because 1) I'm not a huge fan of Iris 2) I think it would be a great ending to have her dead and 3) Seriously guys?! Do you reall think that she's dead for real?
I wasn't going to start with this but oh well, let's just jump right into the good stuff.
Seriously, do you really think they would kill off Iris?! I mean, like I said, I think it would be a great ending because, with this TV Shows they are always bringing characters back and such and it would be nice to have a character dead for good but really? I don't believe for a second that she's really dead and, if she really is, I'm going to be really surprised! Although, deep down, I'll enjoy that ending. Anyway, let's get back to the beginning of the episode.
As we already knew, there's only one thing that they can use in the "Speed Force Bazooka", and that's one piece of the Dominator's tech that is held on ARGUS. Deep down, he already know basically everything that was going to happen. They find about it, they ask Lyla, she says no, Barry goes back in time to get Snart and he helps Barry get it. And guess what?! That's exactly what happens.
What we didn't know was the part where they see King Shark and what woud they do?! 
Snart actually has a pretty good plan and everything goes smoothly until they actually steal the tech and the door begin to close, which leads to Barry running out but Snart getting stuck inside with King Shark. Luckily, Cisco manages to hack into the building (or whatever) and Snart is able to get out of there. But, of course, we couldn't leave it there, Lyla ends up finding them but, in the end, she just lets them go with the tech, which, in a way, I think it was just nonsense. I mean, this shows clearly that the writters just wanted Barry to go through all of that because, in the end, Lyla just ends up giving him that. She could've just give him that right in the beginning but now, we had to go through all of that.
Anyway, those were good scenes, but I just don't think that last part made much sense.
Back to STAR Labs, they get to build the Bazooka and then they come up with a plan, but without Barry knowing it. That's when Cisco vibes his battle with Caitlin/Killer Frost and he just goes there to fight her and try to get her 'back to normal'.
Meanwhile, that last part of the episode happens. The one that we've been seeing all this season.
Barry actually gets to use the Bazooka but it didn't work because Savitar was wielding the Philosopher's Stone. This leads to the very end where Savitar ends up 'really' killing Iris and leaving.
And the episode basically ends up with that, a sad song, and a video that Iris left on Barry's phone saying her wedding vows.
It was pretty sad/cute the ending but I still don't buy it.
Just a side note before I end this rant... I kind of missed Julian in this. I mean, he has been working with them as well and I think we haven't seen him a while so... I missed him.
Ok, that's it guys.
I wonder what is going to happen in the next and last episode because I though this was going to be what was going to happen in the last episode but I was wrong.
Also, we've seen some 'leak' photos of a funeral and some other stuff and, not only Iris was there, but there was a funeral, which means, someone is going to die.
I still think it's going to be HR and this episode had a lot of hints of that, with him saying that STAR Labs was his home and then, in the end, saying 'goodbye' to Cisco... I think he did something and that's how Iris doesn't die so... I don't know, let's see what happens.
Let me know which are your thoughts on this episode and what do you think is going to happen in the Season Finale. Do you think Iris is really dead? Who do you think is going to die? Let me know everything.
I'll see you (maybe) tomorrow with a new rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Champs vs Pros | Season 30 Episode 1 - "Secrets and Limes"


Spoiler Alert!

Here I am, like I said, with the very first rant of the new The Challenge season - Champs vs Pros.
I got to say this is an exciting season!
It's only going to be a six-weeks season but I'm sure it's going to be bomb. I mean, it already is!
First of all, I need to complain about something... Why the hell don't they put the teams against each other on elimination? I want to see like Camila going against one of the pros! Not them going against each other... This is going to be Invasion all over again but ok, I have to deal wit it.
Now with that said, let's jump into the actual rant.
Right away, I don't like some of the Pros, starting with that Lolo girl.
She's just too annoying and I seriously wanted her to go hom right in this first episode. Unfortunatelly, that didn't happen. But anyway, about the first challenge...
It was something that we've already seen the champs do, just a little bit harder. Once again, something that I just can't believe (it seems like I didn't enjoy this episode but I actually did, don't get me wrong). The champs lost against the pros! I mean, it was kind of expected... They are pros! But you would think that the champs, because they're used to this, they would be better than them but, not in this first challenge.
Also, there was some changes in terms of elimination and stuff.
In the beginning, they had to nominate a Team Captain and it would be the captain of the loosing team to go into elimination.
Ashley M volunteered herself to be Team Captain so she went into elimination. On the other team, it was Lousie (I think?) and because her team won, not only she won money for her charity, but she was also save from elimination. That being said, this meant it was a double elimination, someone from the Champs and someone from the Pros, and the ones to choose was the team members, which meant the Champs would choose someone to go against Ashley M and the Pros would choose the two people to go against each other. 
From the Pros, Candice volunteered and then they just randomly picked someone, and that someone was Lolo. She was really pissed because she wanted to stay and bla bla bla and her charity is more important than the others and that really pissed me off about her, so she already has a target on her back from me.
For the champs it was kind of an easy choice - Veronica. Although she's a veteran, she hasn't been on a challenge for a while and all the other have been and have been 'friends' for a while so, she was the one to be picked to go against Ashley M.
In the elimination, it was another 'challenge' that we know. I'm not good at explaining challenges so I'm not going to. I'm just going to say that, surprisingly, Ashely won and, unfortunatelly, Lolo won.
And that was basically it.
The preview for next episodes looked so good, so I can't wait for the next ones.
I know this is going to go so fast because it's only six episodes but, hopefully, the next season, which is already being filmed, will air shortly after this one so... Fingers crossed I won't have that many time without The Challenge.
This is it from me.
Let me know what you think about this new season, who are you rooting for (you know obviously I'm rooting for my girl Camila and my boy Bananas) and who from the Pros you don't already like (for me, it's Lolo). I'll see you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 16 - "Reunion"


Spoiler Alert!

Hey guys!
So, after asking on twitter, I've decided to rant about the reunion, as well as start ranting about the new challenge season - champs vs pros - which is coming right after this one.
To be honest, I don't know what to say about the reunion.
I'm going to try and cover as much as I can remember but, the truth is, what they did in this episode, was basically all I do in every rant, just talk about what happened in the show.
But, obviously, there was a few drama so I need to talk about that.
First of all, the drama started with Laurel, Nicole and Cara Maria. I already knew that Nicole and Laurel have been together all along but the actual drama was mostly between Cara Maria and Laurel. Apparently, Laurel is 'kind of jelous' of Cara Maria and the fact that Nicole was into her and that, after getting kicked off the show, Laurel didn't say anything to Cara, so that started the whole thing. Anyway, we got to find out that basically they're not friends anymore and that's it.
Next drama was between Cory/Kailah/Camila. Camila didn't have much to say in this, but apparently Kailah was a bit hurt by the fact, once again, Cory didn't tell her anything and 'didn't wait for her'. To be honest, I don't get why this people get so hurt over this shit, it's not like they where daiting or anything! I swear, this people really like to start drama.
Moving on, main drama of the 'episode', and probably of the season, and maybe forever - Camila and Amanda.
You can see where this is going. This two will never get along and I think you alread know by now who's side I'm in so, obviously I'm 'rooting' for my girl Camila and, they even said something about (I mean, Amand said) Camila talking shit about her on her social media... Well... So wrong! I have Camila's notifications on and she never once talked about Amanda so... Yeah...
And, to finish this up, there was a bit more drama involving Cory, but this time with Nelson. It was just about the whole thing that Nelson played both Cory and Shane. It wasn't a bit deal really, bit they got up and stuff and the producers where afraid they would start fighting, but they didn't so, it's all cool.
But, I got really surprise that, for once, Bananas wasn't involved in any drama! Wow! Of course he had to say what he things about every damn thing but none of the drama involved him so that's new! And I also have to say that I kind of missed him so, can't wait to watch this six-week new season.
Before I end, I just wanted to say that of course there was some nice moments in the show, like the 'awards' but you know, this things are made of the drama so... Those were the main topics.
That's it guys!
Right up next is coming the first rant of the new season so, stay tuned for that!
Love,
Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 12 Episode 21 - "There's Something About Mary"


Spoiler Alert!

A little bit late with this rant but hey, here it is!
I feel like this was a great episode overall. We are getting closer to the end (actually, there's only going to be two more episodes that are going to air on the same day so it's basically just one episode) so obviously things are going to get a lot more interesting. But not just that, we had a lot story development as well as basically all our favourite character (apart from Cas, he wasn't around again).
But yeah, we had to start with something really sad, Eileen's death.
I must say that I didn't remember her that well before this past episode where she was in, but I was really enjoying her character and I was kind of shipping her with Sam, so that was sad. I must've predicted it, to be honest. After she killed that British Men of Letters guy it was clear that something was going to happen to her and it did, in the beginning of this episode. Basically Crowley gave Mr. Ketch an hellhound and it killed Eilleen.
Meanwhile, we see what has been happening to Mary, after we see Toni back in the end of the previous episode. I need to say that it was pretty confusing. I didn't know what was true and what was not but, apparently, Mary did kill one of her hunters friends, which is pretty sad. And, after finding out about that, she tries to kill herself and even asks Mr. Ketch to kill her, but he says that everything will be over soon and that she'll be thinking just like the British Men of Letters.
Obviously the boys find out about all of what is happening, beginning with Eilleen's death, to which they then find a postal from her saying that she's afraid the British Men of Letters are going after her. She also tells them about them spying on her and that's when the boys search for something on the bunker. They finally find it and set a trap, capturing Toni. That is when they find about basically everything. About what is happening to Mary, about Mary's relationship with Mr. Ketch, about all the hunter's deaths and also about Mick's death (which I will never forget).
They get back to the bunker but Mr. Ketch is already there with some mercenaries. Sam and Dean get to kill the mercenaries but then Mary shows up, already brainwashed, and frees Mr. Ketch. 
Mr. Ketch then seals them in the bunker to suffocate to death, along with Toni so he will be in charge of the American operation permanently.
The episode basically ends like that, but while all of this is happening, there's also something going on with Crowley and Lucifer.
Crowley tries to get Lucifer to reveal his son's location since Dagon is dead and he believes Castiel will want the child dead. Obviously, Lucifer being Lucifer, doesn't give Crowley anything. Instead, he finds out that the warding that binds his vessel to Crowley can work both ways, then taking control of Crowley and stabbing him. Just as this is happening, we see Crowley looking at a rat and then, as the other demons take Crowley's body to somewhere else, we also see that same rat following the body so, we basically know that Crowley got himself inside that rat so, no fear, Crowley is not dead.
And yeah, basically the episode ends and Lucifer is free to find his son.
Like I said, next episode(s) will be a two hour finally, the first part being the British Men of Letters storyline and the second part being the Lucifer storyline, so I'm sure it's going to be huge.
I still think that Lucifer's baby is not good, like we were lead to believe in past episodes and that he is going to be born and it is going to be the villain for next season. I'm a littke bit torn in term of Lucifer because I'm kind of tired about everything being about Lucifer but at the same time I just love Mark Pellegrino as Lucifer so, I don't him to be dead. I don't know... Let me kow what you guys think and I'll see you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Originals | Season 4 Episode 8 - "Voodoo in My Blood"


Spoiler Alert!

Like promised, here I am with a new The Originals rant.
I must say that I got a bit confused with this episode but, overall, I loved it!
Once again, my favourite person was Hope and my favourite scene was when she saved Klaus.
Anyway, before I start, I'm just going to say that this rant is going to be a little bit all over the place because I have so much to talk about.
Well, lets start with the thing that got me confused - Davina.
Yes, we had Davina back for this episode and, first of all, it was a little bit sad that Josh was the only one that didn't see her. They were really good friends and I think that was a bit sad. Hopefully she will be back for another episode he will get to see her (as well as Kol, because I want a Kolvina reunion) but yeah.
Then, what left me confused. In my last rant I said that she got inside Sofya and that she was the hollow but in this episode she told Hayley and Klaus all the story about how The Hollow was born and everything and that she was the one to create the werewolf curse but then, at the end of the episode Sofya killed Elijah (which left me speachless as well) and Davina said that, in order for them to defeat the hollow they needed one immortal death so... Something here doesn't make sense, so that's why I still consider the theory that Davina might be The Hollow. It would be a little bit out there, I must admit, but something is wrong here so, I don't know. I got a little confused.
Then, my favourite part of the episode - Hope saving Klaus.
I just think that part was so cute and I love anything where Hope is but the fact that she saved Klaus is like Wow. And I get what Hayley said to her, Klaus really must wanted to be the one to do the saving and the fact that it had to be his little girl to do it... It was a little bit 'too much' for him.
And then, of course, I have to mention Alaric! Seriously, this was everything that I wanted! I mean, it could've been better with Caroline, but still, I loved all the Alaric helping Elijah and Marcel and, my favourie, and what I was waiting for, Alaric talking to Hope and then mentioning to Klaus the school and that Hope would be welcome there! Oh my god, I just want to see, in Season 5, Hope in the school playing with the Twins and Klaus and Caroline together like, that would be the perfect ending for The Originals! I don't even care about anything else, to be honest, if you give me that, I'm happy!
Anyway, I guess that's pretty much it. It doesn't seem like it, but we're almost in the end of this Season because we're only going to have 13 episodes, which sucks, to be honest.
Hope you liked the rant and let me know what you thought about this episode!
Love,
Daniela.

The Originals | Season 4 Episode 7 - "High Water and a Devil's Daughter"


Spoiler Alert!

I'm finally back with the The Originals rants!
First of all, I want to say I'm sorry for being really late with this rant. And, after watching this episode, I really regret not watching it live because it was so good! But I couldn't really watch it live and this week was crazy in terms of University work that I didn't have time until now (which means, I didn't watch last night's episode live either).
With that said, let's get into the proper rant!
Like I said, this episode was great! I don't know if that had an impact on this episode, but this one was directed by Charles Michael Davis, aka Marcel, and actually I really liked Marcel in this episode!
Maybe he did it on purpose, maybe not, I just know that I quite liked him in this one and I loved his interactions with Hope. Hope was certainly my favourite, but she always his so... 
Anyway... This scenes happen actually because Freya put a protection spell on the compound, which meant neither Hope, Klaus, Hayley or Marcel could leave the House. Right in the beginning we see Hope playing with some of Marcel's old toys and a few scenes after Hope goes to where Marcel is trapped and starts talking to him. Like I said, those were my favourite scenes and then, when Freaya's plan go a little downhill, and Dominic gets to enter their house, Hope actually frees Marcel and he actually protects her, which I quite liked and all those scenes where great. From her talking to him until Klaus finding her and Marcel on the street and Hope telling Klaus that Marcel's her friend. Those were great scenes!
Meanwhile, Elijah's character just gets more and more awful to me. Seriously, I used to like Elijah so much and right now I totally agree with Vincent when he said that Elijah is doing so bad for the town and everything, that he has no soul. I totally agree with that. But anyway, before they have that conversation, some other stuff happen. Elijah takes matter in his own hands and starts the sacrifice himself by killing four young witches. Vincent didn't want to do it but because of that, he had no other way then doing it because he wouldn't just let those four girls die. Unfortunatelly, things don't go that well and the ancestors are still mad, so they won't help with the sacrifice. With that, Vincent has to come up with something else and he ends up like 'calling' Davina and, since she's basically with the ancestors, she helps him and basically she's the ancestor in charge of New Orleans and their new ally... Or is she?!
And this (besides those scenes with Marcel) is where things start becoming interesting. Not only I was really happy that we were going to have some Davina back but, very close to the end of the episode, we see some type of shadow going to Sophya, taking the Papa Tunde's blade from her and saying that it would take her body now. And, the voice was Davina's! And she also said that the ancestors were trying to take her to the dark place (or whatever) and then, when she got inside Sophya's body, her eyes glowed blue... Like the Hollow! So, this leads me to think that, The Hollow, is actually Davina! I don't know, maybe this is what they are trying to do but... I don't know... I just know that this is very interesting and I can't wait to see more of it!
Then, the other exciting part! Freya ends up finding out about Apisis which, by the end of the episode, she finds out it's an werewolf line, Tyler Lockwood's line! You know what this means?! Alaric is probably back next episode! (Which I'm going to see right after I end this rant.) So, I'm very excited about all of this!
Next episode looks like it's going to be as good as this one so, I can't wait!
Also, before I end this rant, just wanted to say that we finally got confirmation from The CW that The Originals was renewed for Season 5 and you know what this means?! Klaroline is probably going to happen! Seriously, I really hope this happens because I just wanted to have a Season 5 because of that! Well, not only because of that, but that was the main reason, to be honest!
Anyway, that's it guys!
I'm now going to watch the next episode and I'll see you in a few hours!
Love,
Daniela.

Arrow | Season 5 Episode 21 - "Honor Thy Fathers"


Spoiler Alert!

Just like promised, here I am with a new Arrow rant.
And it is back a another great episode!
Lately I've been loving Arrow's episodes. Last week it was mainly because of Felicity but, overall, I've been loving basically every episode and, this one, I must admit, I loved having Adrian back!
Actually, we start the episode right with him. Not exactly him, but mentioning him and the fact that his proscutions were discredited, which means a lot of criminals on the loose (a bit like The Flush, huh?). After that, we move to a scene that I've already seen in a preview with Oliver receiving a box in his Mayor's office that came from Adrian, which has a body in it, identified as Henry Goodwin.
We then find out that Goodwin was killed by Oliver's father, shocking Thea (who is back from this episode) and Oliver, who decides to tell the press.
Meanwhile, one of the criminals that is on the loose is working on something a bit shady, which them Team Arrow deduces that he's working with Adrian in order to release Claybourne's weaponized tuberculosis in Star City.
Then, comes my favourite part of the episode - Oliver/Adrian.
Team Arrow finds where Sampson (the criminal) is keeping that bomb and, while Diggle, Dinah, Curtis and Wild Dog deal wit Sampson, Oliver encounters Chase and starts a fight between them.
Sampson is captured and Curtis defuses the bomb.
In the mean time, Oliver is still 'fighting' with Adrian and then seriously comes my favourite part.
Oliver tells Adrian that his father was about to disown him due to his mental condition, which switches somethin in Adrian that he basically just gives up. Although I do think that was just a plan (maily because of how the episode ended), I loved seeing him a bit vulnerable. What can I say, I love a 'bad boy' in his vulnerable state so... Yes, I liked that scene mainly because I just that's cute/hot and I don't feel ashamed to say that I was (and kind o still am) rooting a little bit for Chase... At least, I hope they don't kill him off.
Actually, I didn't want to jump this ahead but heck yeah, I'm just going to do it.
So, basically Adrian tells Oliver to kill him, to which Oliver refuses and instead just puts him in prison, in an Argus prison.
And here comes my thought...  I seriously wouldn't mind if this was really how the Adrian storyline 'ended' because this would mean that he was still alive and in ARGUS, which also means that they could bring him back for some other episode. I just don't want him dead so I like this ending.
Also, I think that this could be how it ends because of the flashbacks that we had in this episode and how they ended, with Kovar being alive and basically 'kidnapping' Oliver. So, this might mean that the Adrian Chase chapter is closed and that the last two episodes are going to be about Kovar... I don't know, this are just my thoughts, but that's a possibility.
Anyway, but because this episode wasn't just about Oliver and Adrian, we also had two other storylines, Thea being back and dealing with what his father has been doing, which I think was a bit unnecessary and also Rene's storyline, who refused to testify in Zoe's court in order not to upset her, leading to the judge dismissing his claim.
And yeah, that was basically it.
In my opinion, it was a pretty good episode and I seriously can't wait to see what's going to happen next.
I'm expecting a big thing in the final episode (which I know isn't next week) so I don't know what it is going to be about. Part of me wants Adrian to get out of ARGUS and have a thicker plan, because this was a bit too easy and I also want to see more of him but other part of him just wants him being in ARGUS and not dead so, I don't know. Let's see what happens.
Let me know your thoughts about this episode and which are your predictions for the final two episodes.
I'll see you guys in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 15 - "The True Champions"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!
Here I am with the last rant of this season's The Challenge.
There's still going to be the Reunion episode, but I don't if I should rant about it... If you want to, let me know. Either way, when it gets closer to the date, I might put up a poll on my twitter so keep an eye on that.
So, in this episode in finally get to find out who wins this season!
We start the episode right where the last one left off, with Camila and Cory arguing about the last puzzle of Day 2. Turns out, they really do left that puzzle incomplete, which might have added some penalty time to them. I don't really know because they didn't talk about that, but I suppose that's what happened.
Then, they had another time buster, which was a pretty easy one, in my opinion, which turns out to be CT and Ashlet to win. CT gave 5 minutes to Nelson and Ashley to Nicole, which worked out for me because you know I was rooting for Camila.
Day 3 started and, I already knew this because I saw in a preview but they had a first stop with some buckets challenge and, the next thing was to kayak 10 miles.... They showed it a bit quickly, I think, but it was good and CT and Nicole ended up in first place, Camila and Nelson in second and Cory and Ashley in 3rd.
By this time we already knew that Cory was going to be in 3rd place but everything else was still up in the air. And then, they still had an individual challenge where they had to swim (and bit more stuff that I don't know how to explain). Everyone was pretty good in that but still, Cory was for sure in 3rd place... And guess what?! He really was.
TJ started announcing the winners with the guys, starting with 3rd place - Cory. Then, it came up to only 2 minutes and 22 seconds between CT and Nelson but... CT won! Obviously I wanted CT to win out of all three, but my sister was the one really rooting for him, so she really liked that he finally won another challenge!
Then, it came to the girls. Nicole ended up in 3rd place, which was a bit schocking because she was pretty good and out of all three, she was the one that looked stronger and everything, but looks like strenght isn't th key.
And it came onto between Camila and Ashley, my favourite and one of my least favourites...
Well, it didn't turn out to be a win for me... Yap, that's right, Ashley won and, although I was kind of proud of her, mostly because she really was an Underdog and everyone was against her (including me) and she freaking won... Which really means you can do anything once you put your mind to it.
And that last scene with her talking with her mum was really cute. You could really see that she couldn't believe she won!
But, I need to stick up for my girl Camila and I need to say that she got 2nd place only because of Cory. She was pretty good in the first day and she was also pretty good in this last day. Only the second day, with Cory, was rubbish and I really feel that he slowed her down because, like she said, he already knew he was going to be 3rd so he didn't mind.
I seriously think that if she was with CT, for example, she would do better so... Yeah.
They already started filming Season 30 and there's rumors that she's going to be in it so, I'm going to be rooting for her (although she has been tweeting this past days so, that might mean she's already home...).
Anyway, hope you guys liked the rant and let me know if you wanna see a rant from the Reunion.
I'll see you guys tomorrow with a new Arrow rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Flash | Season 3 Episode 21 - "Cause and Effect"


Spoiler Alert!

Such a good episode!
I'm sorry to start of just like that but I really enjoyed this episode!
With how the last episode ended, I wasn't really sure how things were gonna go, but I just wish the end of last episode was just like this episode, because it was really good!
I had already seen some interviews about this episode and I knew that we were going to find out all about how Savitar is Barry from the future and that was exactly what happened.
I'm not really good at explaining this things because I didn't really understand it completely but I'm going to try. So, apparently Savitar is a time remnant of Barry, created by his future self while fighting Savitar. And, after being shunned by Team Flash, he became depressed and decided to ran back in time to ultimately become Savitar.
Also, he explains that he needs to kill Iris in order to make the Present Barry create him (Savitar) in the future.
Then, comes the big part of the episode and, personally, my favourite - no memory Barry.
So, since Savitar is Barry from the future, he knows every single thing that Barry is going to do in order to stop him, which means he's always one step ahead. Then, Cisco thinks of plan! If Barry can't remember what they are doing, neither will Savitar, so they try to stop Barry from creating new memories but, of course, something goes wrong and Barry ends up loosig his memory.
Savitar also looses his memories resulting in Wally loosing his powers, since Savitar never gave him them.
Apart from that, obviously something has to happen on top of that.
It happens that Barry needs to testify against a pyromaniac named Lucious Coolidge but, the thing is, Barry doesn't remember anything. Obviously Cisco and Julian try to do something about it but obviously something goes wrong and Barry is unable to testify against him which sets Lucious free.
It's also in this episode that we get a glimpse of 'Good Killer Frost' because she goes to Team Flash in order to help Barry and consequently help Savitar. So she teams up with Cisco and Julian and Cisco tries something that gets into her, even though she doesn't totally get back to just being Caitlin but, just like I said, her get a glimpse of what will probably be happening in the last episode.
Back to Coolidge, since he was free, obviously he gets back to his bad habits and starts a fire somewhere and, Barry being Barry, even without his memories, says that he needs to help those people and goes there, unfortunately, he can't really do anything because he doesn't know how to work with his powers. That's when Cisco tries the thing that him, Julian and Killer Frost had been working on and it kind of works, Iris just needed to help Barry access some of his deep memories and, in the end, Barry, with Wally's help, gets to stop the fire.
Meanwhile all of this is happenin, H.R. and Tracy finally develop their romance and, I must say, it was pretty cute!
Then, in the very end, Tracy finally shows the team the completed Speed Force trap, which requires a high amount of energy. It then cuts to a scene in a room that has some technology from the Dominators, as well as King Shark.
So, basically, next episode is going to be then trying to get that technology and the very last episode of the season finally them fighting Savitar.
I'm really excited for this final episodes. Although I didn't like the reveal of Savitar being Future Barry, I still think it's going to be interesting how this is going to develop so.. I'm excited.
Let me know what you thought about the episode and I'll see you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.
