The Flash | Season 4 Episode 12 - "Honey, I Shrunk Team Flash"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys once again.

Like I promised you, here's a brand new The Flash rant!

This was a pretty special episode because it was my 'comeback' to watch live and live tweet during The Flash. Long story short, my Uni schedule didn't really let me be awake until 1am (which is when the episodes air here in Portugal) so I couldn't watch it live. But right now, it's exam season and I don't have any exams which means I'm basically on holidays, which also means I can watch my series live. Because of that, this episode was pretty special but, if I'm being totally honest with you, this wasn't my favourite episode this season. It sure had it's moments like the whole Cecile thing (which I'll get into in a minute) and the shrunking thing was also pretty funny. Oh, and the ending was quite something but, overall, this episode didn't got us through the main storyline, which is what I'm more 'concerned' about and worst, because of last weeks episode (don't get me wrong, I loved last weeks episode) I had almost forgotten about the whole DeVoe thing, which is not ideal. But yeah, let's get onto the main events of this episode.

The episode starts right away with one of my favourite things - Cecile having powers! Turns out she develops telepathic abilities as a result of her pregnancy, combined with dorman dark matter in her cells which, according to Caitlin, is something temporary, which is nice because, althought I loved the fact that she has powers and mainly this type of powers, I don't know how I would feels about her being a 'full meta', if you know what I mean so, I'm liking this storyline.

Moving on to the other really funny part of the episode, of course there had to be some type of meta messing with the city. This time is a guy named Sylbert Rundine, who has the ability to shrink and enlarge objects. Of course Team Flash goes and tries to stop him and, in doing so, Cisco and Ralph end up shrunken, which is the really funny part.

The not so funny part is the fact that, if they don't reenlarge within a certain period of time, they will go nuclear so, in order to prevent that from happening, Harry starts working in a way to reenlarge them. His plan goes terribly wrong and Ralph and Cisco end up with even less time to which they have to proceed to Plan B, which is tricking Rundine to reenlarge them. For a moment, I really thought this was going to end badly but Team Flash always gets the job done and, in the end, they are able to trick him and then arrest him. 

Meanwhile, in prison, Barry learns about the reason why Big Sir is in prison and also learns that he's actually innocent. And what are the odds that the guy that really killed the person that they thought Big Sir killed is the guy that Cisco and Team Flash is after? (Did this make sense?) Well, turns out Rundine is the one that really killed the man and not Big Sir and so, Team Flash tries to get a confession from Rundine but it didn't happen so, after knowing Big Sir's wish to one day return to a Chinese village and not being able to free him the 'right' way, Barry just uses his speed and takes Big Sir to that Chinese village.

Back in prison, that's when the biggest plot twist happens.

Turns out there was an hidden camera that got Barry, ending with his new warden finding about him being the Flash but not only that. He also sedates him and locks him somewhere else with the intention to sell him to Amunet, like what?! I wasn't expecting that at all! Plus, I just thought that girl was gone like seriously?! With everything that's happening that's the last thing they needed. Plus, the woman is just annoying af and I just want her gone, really!

Anyway, that's it for today's The Flash episode.

Not my favourite one but still good and with really funny storylines that only The Flash can do.

Let me know what you thought about the episode and tell me if you were expecting that plot twist at the end because I know I didn't!

Until Friday!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Vendettas | Season 31 Episode 5 - "Guilty by Association"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new week full of new reviews!

We're starting the week, as usual, with The Challenge. Unfortunatelly, this time, I don't have that many good things to say about this episode.

This might have been one of the worst The Challenge episodes. First of all, I just hate when they focus the episode on just one thing like, this time, the whole episode was about this elimination and that was the only think that happen and you know, I watch the show mainly for the actual challenges and then, second, the whole thing was just a mess and, overall, this was a poor episode. But, in all that happen there were a few things that I enjoyed, like the actual elimination challenge, which was one of the best in the last seasons. 

Maybe I shouldn't start with this but I'm just going to start with my whole 'review' on the elimination challenge which, like I said, was really good. I don't usually agree with what Jemmye says but I have to agree with her on this, this type of challenges is the reason why we (at least for me it is) watch the show - challenges (mostly eliminations) with like a really physical impact - this one was basically wrestling with a little bit of water and a ball involved - the focus is that it was like a really physical challenge and there was actually a 'fight' but an allowed one so it's really interesting to watch.

Rewinding a bit to the beginning of the episode...

Like I said, not much happened and the beginning was only some of them trying to make deals (which did not happen) and then the Inquisition happened and Tony, Zach and Marie chose Melissa, Kayleigh and Britini to then decide which to go to elimination against Sylvia. Britini was someone that everyone wanted and then Kayleigh and Melissa were the people that Sylvia said was comfortable to go against with so they went with both of them. Obviously none of them were happy, mostly Britini who was basically who everyone wanted/thought was going to be the real chosen one to go against Sylvia. Luckily for Britini, Melissa had some fights with Kam and then everything changed.

To be honest, I didn't even understand that fight between Melissa and Kam like, it was all because of Melissa's reputation?! Seriously, I don't understand and, to be honest, I don't care. I don't really care about none of them. Anyway, in the end, the Troika chose Melissa to go against Sylvia, because of everything that happened, which was the easiest choice. The trusth is, in a way, I was rooting for Melissa just because everyone was against her and I really didn't see what she did wrong. Maybe she was flirting too much but... What's wrong with that? Anyway, I'm not going to talk more about that and I'm just going to say that, in the end, Sylvia won, which was also fine for me because what Joss and Brad did to her wasn't right. 

Because she won, she also got a grenade and her grenades were Cash, Endure, which was someone chosen by her had to do an endurance challenge before the actual challenge, or Order Up, which she choses the order for the challenge. To be honest, I think she's going to choose the Endure and do it to Brad because of what he did to her, at least, that's what I would do.

Anyway, that's it for todays' rant of The Challenge.

Overall, it wasn't a nice episode. I just hope next one is better. It looks like it's going to be because drama is going to happen with Bananas so, thats already interesting but, let's see.

Let me know what you thought about the episode and I'll see you in a bit with a new The Flash rant!

Love,

Supernatural | Season 13 Episode 11 - "Breakdown"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello and here's the new Supernatural rant!

Just like on Arrow, this week's episode of Supernatural was so damn good! In a way, so different from we've seen and, besides that, Donna was also in this episode, which is always nice. That's right that we didn't have any Cass or Jack in this episode, which is the only 'bad' thing in the episode but I think everything else makes up for it. Still, hopefully, in the next episode, they'll mention them and we'll get on with the major storyline.

Anyway, like I was saying, this episode was a lot different from we've seen before because, for once, Sam and Dean worked on case that, initially, didn't have anything to do with monsters. Plus, Sam was the grumpy one this time, which is new.

The episode starts with Donna's niece Wendy being kidnapped, to which she obviously calls the boys for help, even thought, like I said before, this wasn't really anything to do with monsters. I liked the fact that Dean was the one to say yes right away because, once again, this is the type of thing that would come from Sam and this time was different.

They go to Nebraska and, besides meeting with Donna, they also meet with Doug, which was also nice to see back, as well as a surprise because him and Donna were still together, which is also pretty cute, to be honest. And, alongside with Donna and Doug they also meet with Agent Clegg of the FBI.

They study on the case and Agent Clegg let everyone know what he has already found - that the villain is someone called 'the Butterfly' and that he has operating in the area for the past twelve years.

With the help of a trucker, Dean is able to identify a gas station clerk, Marlon, as a participant in the abduction. Marlon then tells them that the kidnapped victims are butchered and their parts are sold online. They see the live video and, at first, everything thinks that those are some twisted humans but they soon realize that this people are monsters. It wouldn't be a Supernatural episode without some monsters, right?! But it doesn't end there. Of course more stuff had to happen. Soon after that, not only Doug found out about monsters and stuff, but also Marlon was revealed to be a vampire and of course, he had to make some damage and fed Doug some of his blood, turning him a Vampire. Luckily, Dean (instead of Sam, once again) remembered how to make that 'antidote' to turn him back to human so, it was all fine... on that, because it didn't end there either. Right about the same time as all this was happening, Clegg is revealed to be the Butterfly and he then kidnaps Sam in order to sell of his parts online. 

In the very end, Donna is able to kill Clegg's accomplice while Dean kills Clegg just in time to save Sam's life. This last part didn't really worry me because they always get out of stuff like this but still, it would be interesting to kill him and see how they would bring him back but, it didn't happen this time. 

After all this Doug is terrified by all this monsters thing and so breaks up with Donna, which was pretty sad. And yeah, Sam then has like a pretty sad talk on that anyone that gets close to them (the brothers) will suffer a terrible end and the episode ends there.

The preview for next week's episode looks fun, being about witches and love spells and all so let's see. I just hope they talk about Cass and Jack and just realize that something is wrong with Cass because it doesn't really look like Dean to go all this time without knowing anything about Cass so... Let's hope they start searching for him.

Overall, I loved this episode - like Supernatural meets Criminal Minds - so cool!

Let me know what you thought about the episode and tell me predictions for the next episodes, I would love to know them!

Until then...

Love,

Daniela.

Arrow | Season 6 Episode 11 - "We Fall"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone! Here's the first rant of the day - Arrow!

I feel like I need to start by saying that this episode was so much better than the previous one and, actually, I think this might have been one of the best episodes this season so far. This haven't really been my favourite Arrow season but I must say that this episode was pretty good and, hopefully, the episodes will get better and better from now on.

Overall, this episode was an episode really focused on family (like the whole theme of this season) but mostly focused on Oliver's family/relationships, with Felicity and with William being the top ones, and starting of the episode right with a bonding scene between Oliver and William, which was pretty cute. Also, in that scene, there was a lot of other things that I really enjoyed, like Oliver's little 'pun' when he tells William to pick his The Flash backpack and go to school, that was really funny to me. And then, after that, the really cute moment between Oliver and Felicity. Sometimes, I even forget that they are actually married, maybe that's because they don't show it that often but in this scene they showed it very well and I just can't believe the writers kept them apart for a whole season when it's clear that they should, they need to be together.

Moving on, we see like that major event of this episode, which is Cayden James twisted plan to basically kill everyone in Star City by hacking into the eletronic devices and just mess with them and seriously, kill random people, and everything just for revenge of his son. Seriously, this storyline is almost as bad as Darhk's storyline. I don't get why Cayden James is doing what he's doing nor I understand what is his end game because this whole thing doesn't make any sense! Like Oliver said in the episode, if he wants revenge, why just don't expose him as the Green Arrow?! I mean, he said that he already did that but... I don't know man! All I know is that I've seen a theory on twitter about who's Cayden James' son and I totally support that theory - that it's Billy Malone! Cayden said that Oliver killed him 'by accident' while he was 'fighting' someone else and he killed Billy thinking that it was Adrian Chase so... Maybe it's him?! Also, they then said that Cayden must have got some bad intel because the timings of things doesn't match and stuff but, to be honest, I think that they just don't remember or something because they kept saying that Oliver hasn't killed anyone lately so, they must have forgotton.

Anyway, while all this is happening, some stuff is also going on with the New Team Arrow. Turns out Vigilante talked to them and said that he's infiltrated in the Cayden James group and that he also wants to take him down and then gives them some intel to stop part of Cayden's plan. At first, they didn't trust him but the intel checked out so they then got another intel and shared it with OTA. This whole episode was like 'we aren't together but we are working together' some type of thing. They weren't 'working' together but they were sharing intel and in the very end they fought together so... I think they are going to be all together in no time, just watch out.

And, one last thing before I end this rant... I need to talk about that scene between Felicity and William because that was an hell of a scene! So good! The way they did it, Felicity telling William why what Oliver is doing is important and so on while, at the same time, Oliver and the others were fighting, it was amazing! And not just that, but the actual conversation was really moving and the part where Felicity said that she loved Oliver since he brought her a laptop with a bullet?! That was just amazing and so cute and yeah, in the end, William understood and 'it's all good now'. At least, between William and Oliver.

And yeah, just a little side note, that William scene saving his whole class, was pretty badass as well. Really liked it!

Okay, I think that's everything for this rant!

Overall, this was a great episode and I seriously hope this gets better, mainly with the whole Cayden James storyline because, until now, it has been hella boring and just confusing.

Let me know what you thought of the episode and what you think is going to happen from now on and I'll see you later with a new Supernatural rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Flash | Season 4 Episode 11 - "The Elongated Knight Rises"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone and here I am with the brand new The Flash rant!

Well, it looks like this week is off in a good start with not only a funny episode from The Challenge but also a really funny episode from The Flash!

This episode wasn't necessarily tied to the whole storyline of this season (I mean, it was but it was also kind of a side story). We knew that this was going to happen eventually and after seeing the title of this episode I knew straight away what this episode was going to be about - and I was right. I didn't expect it to be this funny, but it was, overall, an episode about Ralph becoming really  a superhero and be part of the team like 100%. This was what I thought would be Julian's character, in a way. Not the whole funny thing and 'being a superhero' but like be part of the team 100% but for some reason they 'got rid' of Tom Felton (which I still don't know the reason for) and basically Ralph is replacing him. Also, this storyline makes sense now because, although we have Cisco and Killer Frost, they are part of the 'tech team' and they can't always be out there to catch the bad guys and now, with Barry in prison, we needed someone to take The Flash's place and that's exactly what Ralph is/is going to be. I totally love his character, I've been liking him since the start really so I just loved this episode and I love the fact that he's grown, without stopping to be funny and slightly childish, and helping the team.

So, the episode actually begins with Barry in prison in the middle of a riot and we see his struggle between wanting to help and at the same time not really being able to because they can't know that he's the flash. He eventually helps but yeah, just with the scene I could see his struggle.

After that, still following Barry's new life in prison, we see him the next day meeting with Axel, who we've seen in a previous season (I think) and who is later broken out of prison by his mum. 

Coming with a not so elaborate plan to get his father's attention, Axel challenges Ralph by threatening to cause chaos in the city. Ralph then gets to him and that was a pretty funny scene actually, probably my favourite the entire episode, ending in a not so funny way with Axel shootin some type of acid to Ralph and really injuring him.

Of course, after that, Team Flash starts thinking of a million things to stop Axel and, when it gets to the coment where they really have to go to him and 'fight', Ralph chickens out because he doesn't want to die. After that, we goes to the prison where Barry is to try and get him out of there and that's when Barry has a really deep conversation with Ralph about the fact that being an hero isn't about not being scared, but having the ability to rise above your fear, which gives Ralph some confidence and that's when he goes and helps Caitlin and Cisco who just got into a trap.

A pretty touching (in a way) moment is when Ralph attempts to shield both Cisco and Caitlin from an acid shower, even knowing that he's going to get hurt. In the end, Wells manages to hack into the shower system and Ralph doesn't get hurt at all but what matters is the thought and the meaning behing what he did, which was trully touching.

In the very end Iris visits Barry in prison, where they reaffirm their love for each other, meanwhile, at Jitters, Ralph and Cisco go get coffee and meet the excitable girl that was also and Barry's wedding. The girl then is seen writting in her journal with a really weird language/hand writting (which is pretty similar to the one that Barry was writtin when he came out of the speedforce). This ending was really confusing and I don't know how this ties with the whole DeVoe thing but let's see. Also, most people suspected that this girl was Barry and Iris' daughter from the future but now, I don't know... Let's see!

Let me know all your thoughts, predictions and theories, because I'm really curious about this whole thing, and I'll see you Friday with new Supernatural and Arrow rants!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Vendettas | Season 31 Episode 4 - "Pizzagate"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

We're back with a new week full of series starting with The Challenge.

As you can tell by the banner, this was a pretty interesting episode and, actually, quite funny. Not much happened, to be honest, at least, not anything major, but there's some little things that I need to comment on so, let's get onto it.

The episode started right where the previous one left off, with the Inquisition dinner. They didn't show us much more of that and basically moved on straight away to the elimination, where everyone in the Troika chose Alicia to go against Melissa. It was the safe choice, to be honest but, like I said in my previous The Challenge rant, I would choose Kam just because of the fact that she was so mad about being in the Inquisition but hey, that's just me. The elimination challenge itself was a pretty easy one, mainly based on speed and Melissa won really easily and yeah, bye bye Alicia. Then, something new happened. Okay, it was the grenade part of the challenge but, turns out, the 'categories' of the grenades aren't the same everytime so this time, for Melissa, the choices were Team Up, were she would be the one to choose the teams for the next main challenge, another one that I can't really remember the name of but that it was someone drink a liter of cream and the last one was Sit Up, were she would choose someone to stay out of the challenge and go straight away to elimination. I really thought she was going to choose the last one because before the elimination she said that she had to do something to send her vendetta, Kayleigh home but she ended up choosing the first one which, once again, was the easy choice. I get it, it's just the beginning but I still think it will only get interesting once someone 'big' gets it like Bananas or Cara Maria, who have the guts to take risks and have like major vendettas in the house. Until now, it has only been a warm up.

Anyway, moving on to the week challenge, like we saw in the preview last week, this was a food challenge and a pretty interesting one.This had a lot of rules so I'm not going to list them all but basically the first team get the answer right (because yeah, this was a trivia challenge) would choose another team to be safe and all the others had to choose someone from their teams to go and eat something chosen by the 'winning' team. Needless to say that Bananas team (which was with Cara Maria and Kayleigh) were the 'winning' team, saving Leroy's team (which was with Britini and Kyle) and choosing rotten cheese for the other team's chosen ones to eat. Let's just say that this was Tony's challenge (which was teamed with Zach and Marie). Tony was the only one to eat the whole rotten cheese under the time limit meaning that there was only three teams left. Banana's team got another answer right so then it was Leeroy against Tony (who went to eat again) eating marshmallows. Again, Tony won and then it was only two teams left, so it was Tony against Cara Maria eating mayonnaise and yes, Tony won, meaning that Tony's team is the Troika this week. Oh, I forgot to mention that this was a no gender elimination so it could be anyone. Then, because there was no loosing team, Tony's team, because they won, had to choose a loosing team and then, from that team, between them, they would choose the person to go in. They chose Sylvia's team, with Joss and Brad and in the end, Joss and Brad voted for Sylvia to go in and this turned out to be a female elimination so the Troika will have to choose three girls in the Inquisition.

Althought I'm not Sylvia's biggest fan, I have to say that this was so unfair to her because she was the one, in the first round, to go and eat that rotten cheese, because the other ones were too scared to go so she just went. Now, they should've men up and just choose between them (Joss or Brad) but yeah...

The episode basically ended like that, only with a few more scenes of Sylvia saying that she was sick and everything and with Kailah saying that the best person to go against would be Britini, which I agree. I basically don't like any girls in that house so I'm fine with anyone going in so, let's see what happens.

Let me know what you think about the whole episode. What you thought about Tony? Also, do you guys also think he's the worst boyfriend out of him, Nelson and Cory? I don't know man, I really don't. Let me know everything and I'll see you (hopefully) later with a new The Flash rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 13 Episode 10 - "Wayward Sisters"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone and here is the last rant of the week.

Unlike Arrow, and pretty much like The Flash, this was a great comeback episode! Well, not exactly like The Flash because this one had a much happier ending, which is always nice!

In case you don't know it yet, this was the Pilot for the (hopefully) new coming show - Wayward Sisters - which is based on the Supernatural's female characters and we love and adore so much - Claire, Jody, Donna, Alex, Patience and Kaia so, from that, you have an idea that this was pretty much centered on them and, in a way, kind of an introduction to the characters for the people that don't really know them but are going to strat watch the spin-off. The show wasn't been picked up yet but it hopefully will and I just can see, from this episode, that it's going to be bomb.

Anyway, apart from that I said, this episode is pretty much the girls trying to save Sam and Dean that are trapped in another universe called 'The Bad Place'. To be honest, in the last episode ended, I had no idea how they were going to get out of there but the storyline of this episode was really great and really clever. So, as I was saying, the episode starts with Claire (which is basically the main character throughout this whole episode) who his on an hunting trip and gets a call from Jody saying that the Brothers need help. She goes back home straigh away and, alongside with Alex, Jody and Claire try to find the Winchesters. Joining them is also Patience, who we met a few episodes ago, and who warns them about a vision she had where Claire dies. 

Their next move is actually locating the dreamwalker Kaia, which they are able to but, as they find her, they are attacked by monsters from the Bad Place, making them realize that the rift to the Bad Place is still open. 

Joining the group later is Donna (which I personally love) who helps them find the place where the rift is.

They find it and, while Claire and Kaia go to the Bad Place to save Sam and Dean, Jody, Alex Patience and Donna work together to kill several monsters that got out of the place and are attacking them.

Claire and Kaia are able to save the brothers but, as they are about to leave, Kaia is killed by the hooded figure that was keeping Sam and Dean captive, the true outcome of Patience's vision. 

In the very end, Sam tells Jody that there's still the possibility of more monsters being on the loose to which she says she will handle it (which, in my opinion, is going to be the storyline for the Wayward Sisters series or, at least, one of the storylines). 

After that, as Claire sits down to eat dinner with her family and swears revenge  on Kaia's killer, another rift opens and the hooded figure gets out, revealing to be actually Kaia (or, at least, is 'wearing' Kaia's face). This ending left a lot of questions which will probably only be answered in the spin-off but, either it is a Kaia version of the Bad Place or is something wearing Kaia's face because there's no way it is actually Kaia.

Anyway, this was pretty much the whole episode. I have to say that I missed Jack and Cass and, from the preview, it looks like we won't see them in the next episode, which is a bummer. I love Jack and I actually really miss Cass and I just want them to get on with the real villain this season (which I still don't know who it is). It's good to have a case of the week once in a while and the one in the next episode looks cool so, it's fine too but we better get Jack and Cass soon. Ok, that's pretty much it.

Let me know what you thought of the episode. Are you planning on watching the 'Wayward Sisters' spin-off? Tell me everything.

I'll see you next week with brand new rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Arrow | Season 6 Episode 10 - "Divided"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

This week was the comeback of basically all series and Arrow was one of those.

Althought this episode wasn't as good as The Flash's this week, I still think this gave us something different, which I'll get into depht in a minute (I still think Arrow has better storylines and stuff that The Flash though).

The episode was mainly centered on the fact that now Oliver has to basically do everything by themself because the team slipt up, like we saw in the mid-season finale. One thing that I was really surprised was the fact that the others (Rene, Curtis and Dinah) just stopped being vigilantes. I thought that they 'left' Oliver but were still working together. Well, in the end that's what happens but yeah, let's not jump too far ahead.

We see not only Oliver dealing with doing everything alone, but also see Diggle's struggle in trying to get better of his shaking. Felicity and Curtis are still working on the prototype to 'cure' him, which is nice, and there's this particular scene were Curtis goes to the bunker and Oliver is there and then Oliver says that it's fine him being there and that he appreciates Curtis helping Diggle. I don't know, was it just me or Oliver was throwing a little shade?! Well, the scene was actually funny which is nice to have on Arrow once in a while.

Apart from that, we also follow more of the Cayden James storyline and in the first 10 minutes of the episode both Felicity and Diggle find out about Cayden having a bug in the bunker in order to spy them, which is nice because that bug have been there for ages. Because of that, Oliver goes after Cayden James and that's when he finds about his whole crew - not only Black Siren but also Ricardo Diaz, Anatoli, Vigilante and maybe even someone else that I can't remember (I just know that there's a bunch of them).

Meanwhile, Cayden's crew approaches Jerry Bertinelli and give him an ultimatum: turn over his ports, or Cayden James will kill his daughter. 

After that, Bertinelli tries to contact Oliver aka Green Arrow. There's a bunch of Batman references in that scene, which I really liked because I love Batman but, in the end, Oliver refuses.

He goes back to the bunker and everything and tries to come up with a plan to take down Cayden James. A lot of stuff goes down and then he decides to make that plan with Jerry Bertinelli and the plan was actually working and of course a kick ass fight scene had to happen and there were a lot of similarities to Season 1 Oliver, which is nice and Oliver almost had them, that's when Cayden James gets all his crew and things just don't work well and Jerry Bertinelli is killed in the end.

In the very end, Oliver decides to just give up on 'being mad' with the rest of the team and just says sorry to Rene and everyone and, in that moment, I really thought they were going to get back together and everything but... they didn't. Which was actually good, to be honest. I mean, I really wanted to see them all working together, I hate Dinah and Curtis' attitude towards Oliver and the OTA right now and I just want them to get over it. Surprisingly, the one that I'm not that mad about is Rene, which was the one to testify against Oliver but, I guess I can see his point.

Anyway, they don't want to get the team back together, they say they can't trust Oliver yet and yeah, that's pretty much how the episode ends. And, like I was saying, this was actually good because I was expecting to things to work out, which is what usually happens, and that makes me really mad sometimes like, that doesn't really happen in the real world. In the real world people stay 'mad' for a while so it was nice to have them not get back togehter yet. Plus, this gives more room for storylines and everything so I look forward to it.

But, before I end, I need to say one thing. There's one thing that is making me mad about this whole thing which is not knowing what Cayden James' plan his. I mean, I trully believe a season is as good as it's villain and, so far, Cayden James is boring af, almost as bad as Darhk so, you see the drill. But, let's see... Maybe there's something 'good' coming.

Let me know all your thoughts on Arrow's comeback and I'll see you in a few minutes with a new Supernatural rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Flash | Season 4 Episode 10 - "The Trial of The Flash"

Spoiler Alert!

Wow! What an amazing comeback!

Hello everyone and welcome back to a new The Flash rant! 

This hiatus was a long wait but the show is finally back and with a bang!

We all knew what this episode was going to be about - like the title of the episode says, the trial of the flash. What we didn't know was how everything was going to work out and what was going to be the end result and, about that, I have to give huge props to the writers and everything because I really wasn't expecting!

We watch this type of shows and when stuff like this happen we always thing that everything is going to work out in the end but, this time, it didn't and Barry really went to prison.

I don't really know what else to say about the episode because it was pretty much Barry trying to show everyone that he's inocent but I'm going to try to follow the storyline.

First of all, I need to mention that Cecile is the one that is representing him, which is nice. 

Then, if Barry's trial wasn't enough, of course there was a metahuman that was causing trouble in the city. The funny thing is, he wasn't even doing bad stuff. This meta was like a nuclear bomb or something and, in the beginning, he was just causing people to collapse. Of course they eventually find who this guy is and try to stop him.

Meanwhile, Singh reveals to Joe that he's appearing as a witness for the prosecution against Barry and is basically his testimony that makes Barry even more guilty.

And then, after that, Barry even has to leave his own trial to stop the radiation metahuman. He manages to do so with the help of Caitlin and Cisco and, even thought this is good news, after that he discovers that he was found guilty and is sentenced to life in prison, which was such a sad scene to watch. And the saddest part was the fact that, at the same time that he was plead guilty, Flash was being honored at the police station. The writters and the editing crew and everyone did an amazing job with this last scene because it really made me sad because Barry and The Flash are the same person and while one is convicted as a killer, the other one is being honored and this whole thing was just really hard to watch. Plus, all I could think about was the comparison to Oliver - Oliver really did kill some people and hasn't gone to crison (yet) and Barry, who have just been saving the people and is acknowledged as a superhero (The Flash) in the city, is going to prison... It's just amazing and sad.

Anyway, this gives a good storyline thought so I really can't wait to see how they are going to work things out and, most of all, understand why DeVoe is doing all of this because I really don't understand what his plan is.

Let me know what you thought of this comeback and I'll see you on Friday with new Arrow and Supernatural rants!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Vendettas | Season 31 Episode 3 - "Banatalie"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys! Here I am with another The Challenge rant! (Don't worry, a new The Flash is coming to changes things up).

From yesterday's rant you already know that I was quite excited about this episode, and it didn't disappoint.

Just like in the previous one, a lot of twists and turns happened and some stuff I really wasn't expecting.

The episode started right where the previous one ended - with Nelson and Cory beginning their elimination. I must say that this elimination was quite funny and a little depressing as well. The 'challenge' was basically kicking a ball on fire and try to score a goal but both Cory and Nelson were terrible, and 2 hours must have passed without them scoring anything so they had to change things up in order for this elimination to end. This time, they had to basically do the same thing but without a goalkeeper and that way, Nelson scored right away and Cory didn't, so the elimination ended like that with Nelson winning, which was actually funny, in my opinion, because since Cory 'showed' his hitlist, he has been crap in the challenges and leaving right away so, there goes the karma.

But, the elimination doesn't end yet. There's that thing that you saw in the end of last week's episode - the grenade. TJ finally explains the grenade thingy. Basically, the person who wins the elimination has three options - take 5K from another player, add time to their vendetta in the next challenge or either take someone out of the troika or put themselves in the troika. The person, in this case Nelson, doesn't have to make the choice right away and just says his choice before the next challenge.

After that, they get back to the house, obviously, and we see some friendships forming and you know, this means either of those people is going to do really great or really bad in the challenge and are going to elimination so, you need to pay really close attention to this things. This time, they focused a lot on Melissa and Nicole 'hooking up' and on Natalie and Alicia's friendship.

Moving on to the actual challenge, the first thing TJ let them know is, apart from the challenge that they are about to play, which was above water, running and stuff, is the fact that Melissa won't be able to compete because she injured her foot and the doctor said she couldn't do stuff that involves water so she went straight to elimination, which meant the girls were only playing to win, not only the money for the first place (both girl and guy) but also for a place in the troika. After that, Nelson made his decision and he did exactly what I would do - choose the money. I just think that's the safest thing to do right now because it's still the beginning of the game and you don't want targets on your back so taking the money is a safe bet.

They then moved on to the challenge, which was playet in four rounds, two for the girls and two for the guys and, in the end, Natalie won for the girls, which was surprising to me, and Devin won for the boys, which was also surprising. They were both in the Troika along with, none other then Johnny Bananas, of course! He didn't want to but I was happy about that anyway. It means he doesn't get a grenade, but it also means that he's safe and that the person who wins the grenade can't do anything to him because the people on the Troika are off limits so, in my opinion, it's a good thing. Of course you have to choose someone to go to elimination, which sucks, but at least you know you're not going (not that it mattered right now because it was a girls elimination).

Anyway... They then get back to the house and, right away, there's a lot of talk about who they were going to pick. Natalie starts talking to Bananas and, to be honest, I would do the same really. Not only because I'm a big fan of Bananas but also because he has won the most challenges out of everyone so you should side with him. At the same time, she should do what she wants because, in the end, the girls are playing against the girls and the boys against the boys so, they shouldn't mess with each other but yeah. 

Natalie goes to talk to both Veronica and Kailah to make sure they wouldn't say her name if they ever get in the Troika and, in return, Natalie doesn't say their names. I don't know, but I just don't trust Kailah. Veronica, I can see her not saying Natalie's name, even thought she basically back stabbed Leroy, but I think Veronica is a lot more trust worthy then Kailah. Kailah is such a snake. I wouldn't even go talk to her. She's going to back stab you no matter what so, don't even bother.

After that, Natalie is set in not mention none of those girls and then we see them get into that room to talk and choose the three girls. Right away, Devin says Alicia, which was also who Bananas said, even thought Natalie didn't want her because they were kind of friends. In the end, they did choose Alicia, alongside with Kayleigh and Kam, which was a good choice, in my opinion - all rookies, which is always something safe to do.

Of course someone had to be pissed with this, and that someone was Kam. I just don't understand why people get pissed, mostly when they're rookies. Being a rookie basically means that you're going to be chosen so... I don't understand.

The next thing to happen is the dinner and Devin starts right away with saying that they haven't decide yet so that dinner is when things are going to get decided. Kayleight then starts saying that she shouldn't be picked because she's there to learn, to improve and just to do better to which Devin asks what that do to them and she says that they get a strong and loyal competitor which, in my opinion, was an amazing argument. Then Alicia basically doesn't say anything do defend herself because she knows that they want to pick her and after that Kam just wants to know who picked her because that someone is going to get screwed because, if she gets sent in and gets back, she's going after that someone. That, to me, is so childish and she should be the one to go in because of that! There's always the things that Alicia isn't a strong competitor and basically no one likes her so, yeah... To me, Kayleigh isn't going to be picked at all so it's either between Kam and Alicia but, because of what she said, I would send in Kam. And the episode just ends like that.

We also don't see much in the preview, just a beef between Marie and Bard so, it's going to be interesting. Also, the next challenge is a food challenge so I can't wait for that!

So, let me know which are your thoughts on who the Troika is going to pick and I'll see you later with a brand new The Flash rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Vendettas | Season 31 Episode 2 - "The Power of Three"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

So, I managed to watch the latest The Challenge episode (I know there's a new one tomorrow ok?) so here it is the rant like I promised you.

This, to me, is what a real challenge is, but I might say that this season has a pretty different feel to it, with all the new british people and from all this different shows. But anyway, his episode we saw how this is all going to work out from now on - with a lot of twist and still a lot more to come, because they had to keep us guessing and ended the episode in a cliffhanger.

The episode started with a little introduction, not much really, and they jumped right into the first challenge. This first challenge was, once again, and individual one, which I prefer, to be honest, and they played it in two rounds, a girls round and a guys round. This week was going to be a guys elimination so the girls didn't play until the very end, just until the first three girls finish, which were the girls that were going to win some money. The same thing happened for the guys (the money part) but thats not all. Something changed in terms of nominations and all that. I don't know if this is always going to happen, but this time, the last guy was up for elimination automatically and then, the first three, out of girls and guys, were going to be the 'Troika' and first, choose three that could be up for elimination, then the 'Inquisition' would happen and those three would talk to the Troika and basically say why they shouldn't pick them and then, just on elimination day they would find out who was going to be up against the last place from the challenge.

I think I don't need to say much about the actual challenge, just that the first three girls were Britinni, Cara Maria and Kam and the guys, obviously, Bananas was the first, Kyle second and Brad third, and the three guys were the ones with the fastes time (I guess) and they formed the Troika. I must say that Bananas have been great lately and I have a feeling he's going to be good this season, plus next episode is called Banatalie so, Bananas is going to be in the center of it.

Moving on... Those three were the Troika and they when it came to the Inquisition (aka deliberation) they went to a special room, talked and went for Cory (which was pretty obvious), Tony and Victor (which was just really random, to be honest). In the dinner that they had to 'defend' themselves, Cory basically shot himself in the foot and just came up with a story that was just awful, in my opinion, and just did worse for him. And yeah, you can imagine that, in the end, he was the one picked to go against Nelson, was the last one to finish the challenge. 

Then, the episode ended with a bang! A pretty big plot twist that I didn't really understand well but basically the winner of the elimination would win a granade that they could 'through' at their vendetta. Don't ask me what that means because I have no clue! But it's going to be big.

And that's pretty much it.

I really don't know what to say about the preview, just that the elimination seems pretty cool and that the next challenge is going to be an interesting one. Most of all, I'm interesting to see what happens between Bananas and Natalie. Not that I ship them or anything, just because I want to see Bananas really.

Anyway, let me know what you thought about the episode, what are you thinking about this season so far and who do you think is going home - Nelson or Cory? Let me know everything.

I'll see you tomorrow with a new The Challenge rant plus the comeback of The Flash!

Love,

The Challenge: Champs vs Stars | Season 2 Episode 8 - "It's the Final Countdown"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

I'm sorry I took some time with this post. I know this isn't a blog about me or anything but, if you follow me on twitter, you already know that my life have been crazy lately and it was just impossible for me to watch and rant about any series lately. Actually, it was a miracle I was able to watch this episode but I kind of had to because I owe this one to you so here it is, the final rant of The Challenge: Champs vs Stars.

This time, this is for real the finale and it was actually pretty funny! I mean, finals shouldn't be fun, mostly on The Challenge, but you know, this wasn't like a real real season and, let's be real, the stars weren't that great to everything was mostly for funs.

Anyway, they still had some pretty good challenges in this episode! 

The episode start right away with the announcement of who the teams where going to choose to join them in the final and my wishes came true and both teams picked who I wanted them to pick. The stars team did really do that coin toss and Michelle basically won, ending up choosing Justin to join them. As far as the Champs team, they didn't do that - they picked someone and that someone was CT, which would be my choice too. They even joked about Bananas choosing CT because they had like a rivalry back in the day and now they are kind of friends and, once again, they showed the banana backpack images from Cuthroat, which is always funny to see.

Moving on, they don't spend much time on drama or anything (because there wasn't any) and jump right into the challenge, because yes there were challenges in this episode before the real final, which is unusual. There were four challenges and who won each challenge would win an advantage for the final challenge. In the end, the Champs won three out of four and, surprisingly, the stars managed to win one challenge, throughout the whole season, which is impressive, and at the same time funny.

I don't really know what else to say about those challenges, apart from the last one which was a pretty funny one, mostly because of Bananas showing his butt and everyone commenting on that -  for example, Justina's comment about his butt being so white it was blinding them. That was really funny!

Apart from that, there wasn't much to say. In the first one the stars were actually about to win but the champs won in the end, the second challenge was really boring because the champs won really easily, and the third challenge was the one that the stars won (and then there's the fourth that I've already talked about).

And then, because they won 3/4, they had some advantages. The last challenge involved looking for tiny keys in sand in order to unlock themselves, and there were 25 keys. Well, the advantage was that, for each challenge won, they would remove 3 keys, so the champs only had to look between 16 keys while the stars had to look between 22 keys, which is a big difference.

Needless to say that the Champs won the season! It was pretty obvioust in my opinion. It was clear that they were superior, mostly becausee they won all the challenges throught the whole season so, it was nice!

And, with that, Bananas added another win to his wins, so he now has 7, which is impressive and I'm really proud and happy for him. Let's hope he wins the new season as well!

So, I guess that's pretty much it. I won't be able to rant about the new Vendettas episode so expect it in the next few days. I'm going to try and watch it tomorrow and rant about it too but I won't promise.

Let me know all your thoughts in this champs vs stars season, what you thought about the ending and I'll see, hopefully, tomorrow.

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Vendettas | Season 31 Episode 1 - "When Worlds Collide"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new The Challenge season!

This season looks like is going to be quite something (just like Dirty 30 was), even thought this first episode wasn't the best.

I understand why that happened. There's a lot of new contestants, from different shows... People that we've never met so this was kind of an introduction. Nonetheless, it set the tone and we can already see some alliances forming and just some couples and hooking up so, it's going to be interesting.

Something else that is going to be interesting is the british contestants. I love the UK and british people just have something about them and, knowing that these people come from Geordie Shore and shows like that... It makes me really curious to see what's going to happen, because they can also create some drama so, the challenge people are going to have some competition.

Well, they already do because the episode started right away with a challenge and the winner of that challenge, who also won $25K was one of the british guys - Joss. I have to say that I quite liked him. I don't really know any of this people, just one or two from Are You The One but that's it so, Joss seems like a nice guy and he's clearly in shape, it's going to be interesting to see how he does on other challenges such as eating stuff or heights or stuff that isn't really running or endurance.

With that first challenge, two people also had to leave the show right away and, again, that was also a guy from the UK, some guy named Rogan and Nicole, who we already know from previous seasons (in case you don't know who she is, she's Nany's cousin).

Then, the rest of the episode was just focused on them partying at the house and, like I said in the beginning, forming alliances and just hooking up really.

We started seeing Britini and Brad (who was last seen on Cuthroat whith his now ex-wife) hooking up as well as Marie hitting (and kissing) one of the british guys. Oh, and of course we can't forget Bananas and Natalie, which I had already heard rumors so I knew this was going to happen. Actually, it's nice to see Bananas single because I've mainly seen him in challenges while he was dating Hannah so it's going to be interesting seeing him single and hitting on girls (mainly on Natalie, as far as we can see). 

And yeah, that's pretty much it I guess.

Once again, you alread know who I'm rooting for, but I also really like Shane and I'm curious to see Tony, to be honest. I've started to like him a little bit more in this past challenges so I hope he does better now. Of course there's also a lot of new guys (and girls) so I'm curious to see them playing and let's see if I find another favourite... Who knows?!

Let me know who are you rooting for and if you already like any of the new people.

I'll see you next week with brand new rants!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Champs vs Stars | Season 2 Episode 7 - "Sink, Purge, Repeat"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone and Happy New Year!

That's right, we are already in 2018 and we're starting this year's rants with a The Challenge, and a pretty good one, I might say.

To be totally fair with you, I thought this was going to be the last episode, since the new The Challenge season started in the same day as this episode aired, but there's still going to be one more episode in the next week, which I'm pretty excited about.

Of course you already know by now that the reason why I really liked this episode was because Bananas got through to the final! 

This episode was, like the title says, some type of Purge - a last challenge where they were competing by themselves - and the result was going to be one winning guy and one winning girl from each team and them, which we found out in the end of the episode, the guy and girl from which team were the ones to choose another player to join them. But, before talking about that, let's talk about the actual challenge.

This was an endurance challenge and an under water challenge which, obviously, we had to hear Wes talk about how good of a swimmer he is and bla bla bla... You know how annoyed with that I get. 

The challenge was an obstacle course under water so it wasn't really about swimming but more about holding your breath and just, overall, endurance really so it was karma that Wes wasn't the best one. Actually, in the end, we saw all the times and CT was the second best from the Champs team, after Bananas, of course and, like Wes said, Bananas isn't the best swimmer, but he's good at doing the obstacles so, I loved it! As for the girls, it was really close, but Emily won, which I'm ok with that, I'm not a big fan of either girls so...

And well, when it comes to the Stars team, Josh won by far, Matt had 10 minutes more that Josh so, not even close but the girls were really close. Overall, none of the girls were great but, in the end, Michelle was the best one, which creates a little bit of tension, since both of them are from different 'sides' and they have to choose, together, another player to join them. So, to solve that problem, as we see in the episode, right in the very end, they are just going to through a coin and see what happens. Personally, I would choose Justina because I think she's the best one in terms of doing anything and actually doing things the right way and being good at them so, I would choose them.

As far as the Champs Team, I need to mention the fact that Wes really tried to bribe Bananas and Emily and, right in that moment, it was a no for me. I mean, I wouldn't choose him anyway, neither would Bananas so... In my opinion, they should choose CT, which s exactly what Bananas says, but Emily kind of disagrees. She thinks Zach is the best and that's when CT says that Zach 'died' in the last final that he was in and that's true, she isn't the best and I truly believe CT is the best one to pick. Like Emily said, he's not in the best shape but he does everything and mostly he's really good in things that both Bananas and Emily aren't that great, like puzzles and eating disgusting things so I would choose him and I really hope they choose him.

Anyway, let me know who you think they are going to choose (and who you would want them to choose, if it's not the same person) and I'll see you very soon with the rant of the new The Challenge season - Vendettas.

Love,

Daniela.
