The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 | Season 34 Episode 17 - "Reunion"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

So, it's the end of another season of The Challenge which means Reunion episode.

Unfortunately, this season's Reunion was really poor and disappointing. There was barely any drama (the main reason why I like this Reunion Specials, to be honest) and there was no new things that we didn't see during the season. It was just more of the same and, to be completely real with you, I don't even know what to talk about in this rant. I'm going to try my best but don't expect a big post.

First things first, the hosts of this Reunion. I like Justina, don't get me wrong, but this was a poor duo and, to be honest, why two hosts? Like, Nick (I believe that's his name) barely did anything. It might as well just have been Justina. 

Then the whole Paulie and Cara thing. By now you already know that I despise them but, at least, Paulie can separate the show from real life where Cara just can't. I've said this many times but Cara have self-esteem issues and she just isn't happy in her own skin. It's obvious. And I truly believe she should step out of The Challenge for a couple of season because she needs to find herself and find her own peace. It's just like Laurel said - she wasn't in a good place and it was exhausting to be around Cara. I'm not a fan of Laurel but I believe her and I'm with her in this. I couldn't be friends with Cara. Besides her being fake as hell, she just have so many issues with herself and, to be honest, she needs to be single for a while. She has been with someone all this years that I've seen her on The Challenge and I think she's one of those cases of people that are so used to be with someone else that she doesn't know who she really is. Besides, it's clear that Paulie isn't good for her. But don't mistake this for sympathy, I still hate Cara, but she does need to work on herself. And talking about Paulie, I saw someone say this on a comment and I totally agree with this person - Paulie was high as f*ck in this episode. It was so noticeable in his eyes (and the way he was acting, which was worse than usual).

And well, this episode was just awesome for some good Bananas memes, which I appreciate. There was also a lot of talk about Jordan and the sides and the numbers and I don't even know what else to add to that because, again, it's the same thing that we've seen during the whole season.

I'm going to leave it at that and, if you wanna know my opinion on something specific, just hit me up and I will gladly talk about it.

That's it for now. There's no news of a new season and all my other shows are on hiatus so I guess I will only talk to you next season so, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'll see you in 2020.

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 15 Episode 8 - "Our Father, Who Aren't in Heaven"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

I'm sorry I'm kind of late with this review. I'm going to be completely honest, I forgot about it on Friday because I was really busy and yesterday I just couldn't post so yeah, I hope you're not too mad with him. Plus, this is the Mid-season finale so it's kind of okay if I don't post it on time. It's kind of a bummer though because I loved this episode! I haven't felt this happy with a Supernatural episode in a long time and I'm really thrilled with how this one turned out.

I think I can say that we got pretty much all that we wanted in this episode - Team Free-Will together, Adam/Michael and, the biggest surprise of all (but not really) Rowena as Queen of Hell! It was an hell of an episode (no pun intended) and I'm pretty excited to talk about it.

The episode starts right away with something that we haven't seen in a while - Dean hopeful and ready to defeat God. And in order to do that Dean starts digging and comes up with something - the Demon Tablet, who he thinks might have some clues on how to lock him up. For that they contact Donatello so he can decode the tablet (again) and tell them what they need to do. Donatello discovers from Metatron's notes that God as a fear that only his favorite knows - Michael. Learning about that, the Winchesters and Castiel travel into Hell where they learn that Rowena has become the new Queen of Hell. I can't say that this was a big surprise because some people theorized that this would happen but still, it has been some episodes since she 'died' so I guess we kind of forget about it so, in a way, it was a surprise. But most of all, it just left me really happy - not only because she's still 'alive' but also because Rowena finally got what she really wanted/deserved, to be a Queen. It was the right thing to happen to her and even herself says that in the episode.

Anyway, Rowena's demons discover that Michael is no longer in Hell and that's when we see Michael sharing control of his body with Adam (or should I say Adam's body). We also see Lilith approaching Michael who instantly kills her after she tries to take him to God. That was kind of a bummer because I was liking this Lilith, but in the end, it's one less 'bad guy' for the boys to worry about.

Well, Lilith wasn't able to take Michael to God but our boys are able to capture him. They attempt to convince him to help them with the assistance of Adam, but the archangel refuses to hear them out. Instead, Castiel shows him God's many betrayals including the war with the Darkness, the alternate reality Michael and the murder of Jack (who I'm still waiting to come back).

Completely disillusioned, Michael reveals that God can be trapped and provides them with the spell to do it. However, of course, there's a catch - the spell requires a flower that only exists in Purgatory and Michael opens a twelve-hour rift so they can go there and get it. Post that, Michael leaves, refusing to help them.

At the same time, another hunter seeks Eileen's help with a vampire case and Sam accompanies her when things go wrong. And, of course, it isn't really a case and it is, instead, a trap set by God. And that's how the episode ends.

As I said before, this was such a good episode! Not only with great moments but with so much plot details and an episode that truly felt like kept the story going. Sometimes you like episodes that the truth is, they don't add anything to the overall plot. Well, this isn't the case and, for once, it looks like we are going somewhere. Of course, things will most likely go wrong in the next episode, with Dean and Cas going to Purgatory and Sam getting trapped by God. This doesn't look good but we'll see.

Let me know what you thought of the episode and now we'll have to wait a month for the next episode. I'll still see you next week with a The Challenge rant so... Until then.

Love,

Daniela. 

The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 | Season 34 Episode 16 - "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Cash"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

The end of the final is here and I couldn't be happier!

Not everything went the way I wanted and the it should've gone, but it was enough to make me happy and so I'm fine with it.

I was surprised right away because I told you in my last post that there was no way Paulie was able to keep going and guess what?! I was wrong. Not only he kept going but he also helped the Team on the next Checkpoint, which was a puzzle and he even made it to the last 4 of the US Team (unfortunately). But rewinding a bit, even if Paulie helped with the Puzzle, the UK Team still was way ahead of them of they got to the boat pretty quickly. After getting to the boat, they went to an island where they had to swim to the shore and then find where they were sleeping - with snakes. Of course, there wasn't much sleep but still they managed to rest.

The next day TJ appeared and let them know about the second and final stage of the final challenge. They basically had to run to a place where there was a puzzle for each of the players. Then, after finishing the puzzle they had to run to the beach and swim to the boat. The catch was that there were only four places for each team and that's when the 'not so good' part happened. Not only Tori was the only one that didn't go through in the UK Team, but also the 4 players to go through from the US Team where Cara, Paulie, Ninja and Zach. Yeah, Leroy didn't get it, again, and that was really sad. Not only because I don't like Cara and Paulie but because they were the worst in the first stage of the final and mostly Paulie didn't deserve it! But anyway, after that, the eight players went to another beach where they had to run a few miles, with their ankles chained to each other and then do a team puzzle and then paddle to the boat and who got there first were going to be the winners. There was another thing here. Because the UK Team won the first stage, they got a 5 minutes head start and that, to be honest, was what made them win.

Yes, Team UK won! Thank god! I could not bare with Paulie and Cara winning!

After all the time that they stayed in the game, when they didn't deserve, not having them winning was the least that could have happened! It was amazing to see Team UK win and to see Paulie defeated, as well as Cara crying, as we should have been expecting.

Overall I'm happy with this outcome. Of course I would've liked if Tori won, but at least Jordan and CT won and that is enough from me. Heck, I just didn't want Paulie and Cara to win.

This is the last 'proper' episode of the season but I think I'm going to review the Reunion because that is always really interesting. So, until then, let me know what you thought of this outcome. Where you happy that Team UK won? Let me know everything and I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Love,

Daniela.

The Flash | Season 6 Episode 9 - "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Three"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Part Three of the crossover is here and I have quite a few opinions so, let's get into it.

After really thinking about everything that has happened in the last three episodes, I've came to the conclusion that, so far, this crossover isn't as good as I wanted it to be. By the way, this review will not only have thoughts on this particular episode, but the Crisis overall, from what we've seen so far. That's right, I'm a bit disappointed with what we have seen until now. I was supper stoked about getting all my favorite heroes interaction with each other that I forgot that might be a problem. And what I felt was that they had to include so many heroes and so many Easter eggs that the magic of a crossover, and the overall plot, was lost. Truth be told, I don't even think that had put that much effort into the story as they have in the small details. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving all the little things (you know how excited I was with that two seconds Titans cameo) but I wanted more and, so for, I'm not getting it. There were a few great moments in this episode tho, so let's get into those.

Black Lightning was finally incorporated into the Arrowverse and that was definitely a good thing. So glad they did that. I'm not even the biggest fan of Black Lightning as a show, I mean, I watch it, and I like it, but I still prefer Arrow, The Flash and Legends, but seeing him among all my favorite heroes sure made me appreciate Black Lightning a lot more and I love his interaction with Barry. Who would have thought that they have so much in common? I really like that heartfelt conversation that they had and sure one of the highlights not only of the episode, but the whole crossover.

They also introduced a whole new character in this - Ryan Choi - who is played by Osric aka Kevin in Supernatural. Of course I liked this even though I'm still confused on why he's here and why is he a Paragon (that whole thing with Paragons is a whole other story, and I'll get into that in a minute).

But, for sure, the best part of this episode, with no doubt, was Lucifer! Yes, Tom Ellis made a cameo as Lucifer and I loved it! And I don't even watch Lucifer (yet, I've been planning to). I just loved his interaction with Constantine and, truth be told, it was just so surprising! A bit like the Titans cameo!

And speaking of Lucifer, Constantine, Diggle and Mia went to Lucifer for help to find Oliver's soul and getting a way into Purgatory which is, none other than Lian Yu. Of course, it had to be! And, although I loved this, mainly because they did get Oliver back, I have so many issues with this plot. I mean, the Purgatory and everything makes sense but then, as soon as they find Oliver, he doesn't recognize Diggle nor Mia and it only takes Diggle saying 'It's me Oliver, Diggle!' and, just like that, he remembers?! I mean, I get it, they had to get to the point but c'mon! It was such a sloppy writing! But it doesn't end there. As soon as they find Oliver's soul, Spectre appears and says that Oliver has to be the new Spectre and... Oliver just says Okay?! Once again, I get it, they have to get to the point, but it was way too quickly and I didn't like that. I liked that Oliver is back though and, for that, I can't be too mad.

What made me kind of made was something else. Or a few something elses.

First, they just find the remaining three Paragons in the beginning of  the episode - Barry, Paragon of Love, J'onn, Paragon of Honor, and Ryan Choi, Paragon of Humanity. The way they found that kind of annoyed me but what annoyed me the most was who were the Paragons. I mean, I should have seen that Barry was one of them, but they could come up with something different. Plus, they could make Black Lightning one of them and it would make a lot more sense to why they brought him instead of what they came up with, but I guess that's just me.

Something else that I was expecting but still, I didn't like, was the way around Barry vanishing that they found. The article said The Flash varnishes, but they didn't say which Flash. Yes, that's what they came up with and, instead of Barry vanishing, it was Flash from Earth-90, played by John-Wesley Shipp that vanished. It was a cute moment though, with some actual footage from the 90s The Flash show, but I guess that was it. And since I didn't watch that show, I didn't feel what most people felt.

Then, there were this whole West-Allen moments that you know how I feel about them. I just don't ship them and I don't even think the actor ship them because the chemistry between them, specially in this episode, was zero. 

And yeah, in the end, the Anti-Monitor while working through Lyla, kills the Monitor and destroys the last Earth, Earth-1, and everyone in them. Luckily, Pariah sends the seven Paragons to the Vanishing Point, where there is no time and space, and it's in that moment that they learn that Lex Luther used the Book of Destiny to replace Earth-96 Superman with himself. And that's it.

My bet is that this is going to be a Infinity War/Endgame scenario, where this was the lead up and now the last two episodes are going to be the final battle where actually all the heroes are going to be present. I also think that it's in those two episodes that some major deaths are going to take place because, so far, the only people dead are not important characters and there has to be some repercussion. 

Overall, it isn't the best crossover but it isn't finished yet so I'm hopeful (as always). Heck, at least, Oliver is not dead, and that does for me. Oh, and I forgot to mention, there were not enough Barry and Oliver interactions this crossover and they are one of the main reasons why I love crossovers so I guess that's why I'm not loving this one.

Anyway, let me know your overall thoughts of the Crisis so far. Are you happy? Are you disappointed? Tell me everything and the Crisis is only back in January but I'll talk to you tomorrow with a new The Challenge rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Batwoman | Season 1 Episode 9 - "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Two"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

OMG! I knew there was a reason to believe that Oliver would come back! That's right guys, Oliver is kind of back. He's not 100% back but they're working on it. It's already a good thing that he's not dead so, I'm happy! And this episode, although still a bit slow, it was better. There were no Supergirl characters (apart from Kara, obviously, and Superman and Lois) and there were no Supergirl plots that could confuse me. Also, Mia was pretty quiet this episode so, everything worked in my favor.

As we saw in the preview, we saw a few people mourning Oliver's death but of course, that was really misleading because right away we find out that Barry was not okay with Oliver dying, as we all thought he wouldn't be, and starts working on a way to get him back. Surprisingly, it didn't involve time travel or anything. It was actually a lot more Arrow accurate, with Barry wanting to go to a Lazarus Pit to get him back. My thought right away was that Thea had destroyed all of them.Well, there's a lot of Earths they could look into and so that's what they do and go to a different Earth to get Oliver into a Lazarus Pit. For that, they ask for the help of Constantine who leads them (Barry, Sara, Oliver and Mia) there and also tries to help with getting Oliver's soul back. That's when things don't really work out and the spell doesn't work because of the Anti-Matter that is affecting Constantine. And that's it for the Oliver story-line.

But before they go there, the Monitor lets everyone know that, in order to defeat the Anti-Monitor they have to find the seven Paragons (aka the symbols that we saw in that scene with Nash). The Monitor also tell them that they have already find two of them  - The Paragon of Destiny, which is Sara, and The Paragon of Hope, which is Kara. The Monitor as information for two more and so two different teams go look for them. Iris, Lois and Clark go look for the Paragon of Truth, who's another Earth's Superman, and Kate and Kara go look for the Paragon of Courage who is Batman from another Earth.

With the first team we visit Smalville's Superman, who we learn that has given up his powers in exchange for a family and then they find the real Paragon - Brandon Routh's Superman, which we all knew was coming.

As for the second team, there's a whole thing with Batman which I don't think is that relevant. The only thing that we need to know is that this Batman killed Superman, which leads to a fight between him and Kara and in which Batman ends up dead - meaning, he's not the Paragon.

When back to the Waverider (yes, they're base is now the Waverider, from another Earth, I might had, which also brought us Mick from that same Earth) we find out that the new Paragon of Courage is Kate instead of Batman and that's it. We have our first four Paragons. There's still 3 more left which I'm sure we're going to find them in the next episode, as well as get Oliver back.

This episode, overall, was good. I'm just happy that they're bringing Oliver back, so that's enough from me. I'm pretty curious to see who will be the 3 remaining paragons. One might think that it's obviously Barry and Oliver, but I doubt it. My bet is that one of them is Black Lightning, and that's why he's the only one from that show in the crossover, and then the other two might be Killer Frost and Diggle as Green Lantern, which have been rumors about. Those are my three bets. I know the next episode is just a couple of hours away but well, let me know your bets.

I'll see you tomorrow with a new rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Supergirl | Season 5 Episode 9 - "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys.

The Crisis is here and, to be honest, I don't know how to deal with it.

This was only the first episode and this crisis is already a nightmare. For numerous reasons, really, but let's start with the good stuff.

You might be confused with that banner, since this is the Supergirl episode and the banner says Gotham. Well, the crossover starts with an introduction to what is happening with this crisis while showing a bunch of Earths getting wiped out. That was basically the only really good moment this episode - the beginning. I got so pumped when they showed a glimpse of Titans! In case you don't know, I also watch pretty much all of the DC shows on the DC Universe streaming, Titans being one of them, and I heard rumors that Titans were going to be in the crossover. Well, this isn't really what I wanted but, to be honest, it was enough to get me excited and to leave me happy. If this is the only Titans thing we get in the crossover, I'm fine with it but, of course, I would love to see more of them in it. But my excitement ended there.

This being the Supergirl episode, of course they focused a lot more on the Supergirl characters and all the plot (basically) happened in Earth-38, where Supergirl is from. I mean, I was expecting that, but the thing is, I stopped watching Supergirl like 2 seasons ago (in the Crisis on Earth-X episode. I did watch Elseworlds, but that was it) and so, I wasn't ware of what had been happening with her and, truth be told, nor I cared. I stopped watching the show because I didn't like it anymore (plus, Melissa just annoys me so, there's that) and I would rather have Black Lightning be part of the crossover, with it's proper episode (I know he's going to be in the crossover) than Supergirl but okay, I knew that going into it. But what made it worse was that Mia was also part of the crossover. I didn't know they were going to include the kids from the future (in Arrow) in the crossover and so having Kara and Mia in the same episode?! That was annoying af! And I should prepare myself because I'm sure there's going to be more of that. But yeah, back to the plot.

The Anti-matter is getting to every planet and so Brainy, a character that I didn't know at all, warned Kara and the others of it being directed to Argo (the place where Superman, Lois and their baby are, apparently) and she warns them to leave the planet. Unfortunately, they can only save their baby in a really cute nod to the way Clark was sent to Earth.

Meanwhile on Earth-1, Harbinger (aka Lyla) recruits Barry, Batwoman, Oliver, Mia, Sara Lance and Ray, to fight this crisis, and sends them to Earth-38 as well as rescues Superman and Lois from Argo and also sends them to help Kara save the people from her Earth.

There's so much that goes on into this but basically the Anti-Monitor is the one that is sending all this anti-matter to destroy the universe and, before working on a plan to defeat him, our heroes try to save as many people as they can from Earth-38, working alongside with the DEO and Lena (who, apparently, is not in good terms with Kara nor Alex. Don't ask me why).

After learning that Jonathan (Superman's baby) ended up in Earth-16, Lois, Sara and Brainy leave to get him while the other stay behind to fight the dark forces of the Anti-Monitor.

During all of this, there's a few moments that are kind of important, such as Oliver passing the mantle of Green Arrow to Mia (which I didn't like) and Oliver talking with Barry and learning that Barry is supposed to die as well, leading Oliver to go and argue with the Monitor about the deal that they made in the last crossover. The Monitor basically says that it's a different situation now and that's it.

Then follows the 'usual' fight scenes of our heroes against some shadow demons that, to be honest, looked like dementors from Harry Potter which, if Cisco was there, he would totally point that out and, deeming the battle as lost, the Monitor breaches our heroes off-world. But not before the unthinkable happens! Oliver is the last one to be 'breached' and he 'fights' the Monitor saying that there's still people to save, fighting until his last breath, literally.

The Monitor does breach Oliver to Earth-1 but just in time for him to say his goodbyes. And just like that, Oliver dies. In the first our of the crossover. I still can't believe it. I'm pretty much in denial like, it just can't be possible! I knew that Oliver was going to die eventually, even if I still believed he wouldn't but like that?! It was so anti-climatic and just not the death he deserved! In the first hour of the crossover? Alone? Not even Diggle was there? In the Supergirl episode? I mean, c'mon! I know everyone was expecting him to die in the last hour but at least kill him in the Arrow episode! What the f*ck is this? I don't know what to think. I'm sad, I'm in denial, I'm angry... I just won't believe he's really dead until the crossover is over. There's still 4 more episodes to go and anything can happen. Barry can go back in time, Gideon in the Wave-rider might still be able to help him, I don't know! Something has to happen! This won't be the end of Oliver, Stephen Amell is still credited in the next episodes of the crossover (at least) but it won't be the same if it's just flashbacks or Oliver from another Earth. It has to be our Oliver. 

Anyway, the episode then ends with Nash Wells, now a "pariah"saying that he released the Anti-Monitor and that everything is doomed.

Well, needless to say that I can't wait to watch Part 2 because I just need to know more about Oliver and I just want him back already! Also, next episode is the Batwoman episode and that show I'm watching so it's going to be a lot better! However, I won't be able to live tweet because I watch the show with my sister and she can't watch it live with me so, I'm going to have to wait and watch it later. Hopefully I won't see many spoilers.

Please, let me know what you thought of this first part and tell me you have some theories on how Oliver might come back because I seriously need those! And I'll see you tomorrow with a new rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 15 Episode 7 - "Last Call"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

Supernatural is back for a couple more episodes before the winter break and I'm here to talk about them.

This week's episode was a pretty good one. I don't think it was as good as the last one because that one was crazy, but this one is still up there. For once, we see the boys deal with stuff separately (which is something that hasn't happen for a while) and that comes with not only a lot of fun but also a lot of danger so let's dive into that.

After 'kind of' a break last episode, this time Dean is the one looking for a case, where Sam is having fun with Eileen. After finding a case, Dean decides to go look but he sees Sam so happy with Eileen that he decides to not tell him and just goes handle it by himself. 

So, Dean heads to Texas where he then runs into an old friend, Lee Webb, who he used to hunt with alongside his dad. This little encounter made for a good musical scene where we saw Jensen singing for real. I mean, I'm pretty sure the intent for this whole episode was just that musical scene but I'm not mad about it because it was pretty good. Who I'm mad about is Lee. Yes, as expected, turns out that the 'monster' behind the case that Dean was looking into is Lee, who have been kidnapping and feeding people to a creature in exchange for riches and health. Lee explains that after a particularly bad hunt, he realized that the world is a bad place and that he should just basically give up and enjoy himself which, obviously, Dean disagrees. That also came with some pretty good lines, in true Supernatural fashion. In the end, Dean kills not only the creature but also Lee, who's really the 'monster' behind all of this.

At the same time, back in the bunker, Castiel comes back (in a really bad time, when something was about to happen between Sam and Eileen) and suggests exploring Sam's link with God to learn more. Sam agrees to but, of course, it goes wrong and Sam is left unconscious. With no other alternative, Castiel calls in shaman Sergei (which I was not expecting at all) who helps after Castiel threatens his niece. This was a weak plot point, in my opinion, but I let it slide. 

Dean then returns to the bunker and that's when Sam reveals that he has seen into God's memories and learned that God is weak, which makes them confident that they can beat him.

As I said, it was a fun episode, but not as strong as the previous one or as strong as others this season. But, from the preview, the next one looks pretty strong! We're getting Adam back, which is someone that I was highly looking forward to see come back so, I'm excited! Also, I need to mention this again - I miss Jack and I just can't wait to have him back as well.

This are my thoughts on this episode of Supernatural. Let me know yours and I'll talk to you next week with the CW Crossover!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 | Season 34 Episode 15 - "A Tale of Two Countries"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Where we are! We arrived at the Final and there's quite a few stuff to talk about so let's get into it!

I have to say, I'm pretty stoked so far with what we saw. The final is still just halfway through but right away my predictions (and my hopes) I'm becoming true and not only the UK Team is smashing the challenges but also Paulie is failing! That's right, my wish is becoming true! I mean, Cara is still 'fine' but Paulie looks pretty rough and we don't know if he's going to make it till the end. I don't wish him bad, I just don't want him to win and so, if he isn't able to keep going, better. But we'll see. I'm getting a bit ahead of myself so let's rewind a bit.

TJ explains the Final and the first stage is a run (a pretty long one, as usual) with some relics and weights and, how this works is that the US has more weights because they also have more players in the Team. It's fair, but it does make it a tiny bit easier for the UK. But in the end, the US did this to themselves so... Anyway, there's a lot more to the challenge but I supposed you watched it so I don't need to explain every single bit. Just know that there's also some check points with challenges (again, as usual).

The Teams were pretty neck a neck until the third check point, which was the eating challenge. The UK Team did get there before the US but they also got a bit lucky because two of them, CT and Tori, didn't have to eat, and because they have less players, they were able to get going faster. The US, not only had more players but they didn't get to lucky. And then there's Cara. You would think by now she would be better at this challenges but nope. I knew this, but I'm sure most people forget that, just like Jordan said, Cara crumbles under pressure (as she also did on the Math check point) and yeah.

At this point Paulie also starts to give in. Yes, he has been carrying the thing with the weights this whole time (with others, I should say) but so is Leroy and he's not complaining. I mean, Paulie really did look bad and he should give up but he has so much pride and he just can't. I'm pretty he will in the beginning of the next episode but, until the end of this one, he still tried to keep going. I don't think that will last but, we'll see.

To end this rant I just want to mention that the UK Team did get a 10 minute penalty because CT messed with them when TJ said they couldn't. But even with that, they were still pretty ahead of the US when the episode ended so, I'm hopeful.

I really want the UK to win, not only because I don't want Paulie and Cara to win but also because everyone doubted them. Also, we see in the preview that only 4 people win which means not everyone for the Team wins. That's unfortunate for the UK Team because they have 5 players, which means there's just one that won't win which, in my opinion, should be Jordan or Tori, since the money is going to the same house. I'm sure they won't do it, even more because we see that everyone comes to a puzzle challenges. And, in the very end of the preview, we see TJ tell the four winners that they won and I'm pretty sure I heard Tori scream so, I'm really hopeful!

This season has been great (even if most of my favorite players went home in the beginning) and this final has been one of the best ones! Keep this going The Challenge!

That's it from now. Let me know what are you thinking of this final and who are you rooting for and I'll see you tomorrow with a new Supernatural rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Arrow | Season 8 Episode 7 - "Purgatory"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Welcome to, basically, the last episode of Arrow.

Okay, it's not really the last one but, if you think about it, the next episode is Crisis, and after that is the Pilot for the spin-off about the Canaries and then that is the actual last episode. But the truth is, that last episode might not even have Oliver and I'm not prepared for that. And the overall plot of this episode, and the way it ended, was pretty much a goodbye and that already made me so emotional... I'm seriously not ready for that. So, let's not think about it and focus on this episode (which is already emotional enough).

This whole episode is a comeback to Season 1 and, although that wasn't my favorite season, it was so good to remember how everything start. It was a really good trip down memory lane (as was this whole season, really). So, our heroes wake up in Lian Yu, where Lyla tells them that William has to create a weapon for the Monitor while the plutonium is being transported by Dinah, Rene and Roy to the island.

Right there things start going wrong. Dinah, Rene and Roy are hit by a missile and they all crash in the island, with all of them in one side of the island and the plutonium in the other side of the island. And so, that's when Oliver and the rest of them decide to split up - Oliver and Laurel go get the plutonium while Diggle, Lyla and Connor go get the others, with Mia and William staying in the bunker so William can keep working on that weapon.

Oliver and Laurel do get the plutonium, but they are confronted by Edward Fyers and Billy Wintergreen - former enemies of Oliver. A fight takes place but Edward and Billy escape. Oliver can't just let them go so he tells Laurel to take the plutonium to William, since they have no time to waste, while Oliver goes look for his enemies to take care of them once and for all. That's when he encounters a familiar face - Yao Fei - who joins Oliver on the look for his former enemies. Unfortunately, pretty soon after that, they are caught on a net.

Meanwhile, Diggle's team find a pinned down Roy, whose right arm is pinned. With nothing else to do, they just amputate Roy's arm and everyone gets back to the bunker.

There, the teams reunite and William proceeds to build the weapon, which requires Lyla's DNA. Once she touches it, the Monitor calls out for her and she enters a portal. 

After that, a bunch of goodbyes are exchanging, and that was the part of the episode that got me. Mainly the William and Oliver scene. I know most people liked the Mia and Oliver one, but you all know that I don't care for her so the William and Oliver one did it for me. That one made me really emotional and by the end of the episode I was already crying - when Lyla arrives in her new alias as Harbinger to inform them that the Crisis has begun. And then, they showed the same scene they showed in the end of The Flash - the Nash one.

I'm going to say the same that I said on the The Flash rant - I'm super excited about Crisis, but I'm so not ready. I'm not ready to have Arrow end and to see Oliver (and possibly Barry) die. I still have hope that he won't die. I might be in denial but, until it really happens, I'm going to keep on believing.

Please, tell me what you think. Do you really believe Oliver is going to die by the end of the series? What do you think is going to happen? Tell me everything and I'll see you in my next rant.

Love,

Daniela.

The Flash | Season 6 Episode 8 - "The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Pt. 2"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Here we are with a brand new week of rants! Unfortunately, I'm not starting on the best note.

You know I love The Flash and they have been having such a great season but... This last couple of episodes weren't that great, specially this one. I don't know what it was, but it felt like they're just trying to fill in the time to get to the Crisis. At the same time, I feel like they wrapped the Rosso/Bloodwork thing way too quickly. I seriously didn't get it. Personally, I think it would be best if they kept Bloodwork as the villain for the rest of the season (doesn't matter if we have Barry back or not) but I guess they're planning on dealing with Barry's vanishing for the rest of the season (even though I don't think that's going to happen at all so... We'll see).

There's not much I can say about this episode, really. It was mostly Rosso attacking Central City and converting all the citizens into his "Blood Brothers and Sisters". And of course Team Flash had to do something.

Initially Iris and Cisco 'argue' on what they should do, since both have different plans. Iris tries her way to get Barry back to the good side but it doesn't work. Then, Cisco tries the light gun (or whatever it is called) but it doesn't work either. That's when Rosso basically let's them know his plan - taking the Particle Accelerator to spread his blood across all of Central City. As Rosso makes his way inside, Iris and Cisco think about what Barry said and realize that Barry saved them from Rosso and he's fighting inside his mind. That's when they understand Barry's plan.

Using a combination of Rosso's blood, the particle accelerator, and Allegra's powers, Team Flash subvert Rosso's plan and spread a cure to Central City. 

After seeing is plan failing, Rosso turns into  a skull monster, which was quite fun for me. It was creepy and gross and I love horror so... I loved it! However, this didn't make much sense to me. So, everyone else in the city was cured but not Rosso? I might be missing something here but it didn't make sense to me.

Anyway, in the end, Barry is able to distract Rosso and capture him, later sending him to ARGUS. 

The episode ends with the Team spending their last moments together before the Crisis, as wee see a red sky approaching. At the same time, at 7:58, Nash uncovers a wall of symbols before a blinding light pulls him in.

Even though this wasn't my favorite episode of The Flash, I'm still super stoked about Crisis. It's going to be as epic as Avengers: Endgame was! I cannot wait! I'm so damn afraid for the outcome though, but I'm also excited. Oh, and before I end this, where was Ralph in this episode? I mean, I know he was sent somewhere to be protected from Ramsey but... He should be back by the end of this episode... Does this mean that he isn't in the Crisis? Cause I'm going to be mad if that's the case. With so many superheroes there's no way they didn't have a spot for Ralph in the Crisis. I guess we'll see.

Let me know what you thought of the episode and which are your predictions for Crisis. Do you really think that Barry is going to die? Tell me everything and I'll see you soon with an Arrow rant.

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 | Season 34 Episode 14 - "Declaration of Independence"

Spoiler Alert!

Hi guys!

Here we are with the last episode before the final! Unfortunately, not only this episode didn't go as I wanted to, but I guess my prayers weren't answered. Yes, both Paulie and Cara are going to the final. All that I wanted really this season was to see them going home but, I guess that's not happening anymore so now I just hope they don't win. Seriously, I'm going to be so bitter if they do.

But, it's not all bad things and, for that we need to applaud the man in the banner - CT. Thank god he got some senses and decided to stick with his Team. And with that, let's get into the actual rant.

I'm going to jump right into the meat of the episode - the actual challenge.

For once the UK Team was in advantage. Having less players, and only having two girls, both girls had to do the medallions part of the challenge which meant Jordan did all the swimming part. Where, in the US Team, the swimming was only up to the girls and we all know that all those girls suck at swimming so, that was definitely and advantage. It was such a big one that yes, UK won for the second time, finally! However, everyone was afraid that they would be dumb, again, and throw one of their girls (aka Tori), and that's when CT comes into place.

The US voted for Nany (as expected) and everyone thought the UK would throw Tori, but nah. CT was the speaker and he decided to do what was best for the Team and chose Tori and Rogan for the Tribunal. Post that, they proceeded to vote and CT voted for Ninja while Tori voted for Ashley. The final vote was up to Rogan and so he chose Ashley. Either way it was fine for me. Now, I just wanted Nany to win. And that's where my luck ends.

Unfortunately, Nany lost against Ashley, on a super secret elimination, without anyone watching. It was really a bummer to see Nany sent home, but at least everyone from the UK Team (aka Tori and Jordan) are safe and right now I just hope they win the season.

Team US is so full of themselves because Paulie's plan worked and because they're more but I just hope that bites them in the ass and Team UK wins.

The Final, from the preview, looks interesting. All I know is that it has an eating challenge and I can't wait for that.

That's it for me guys. Let me know who are you rooting for, which Team and I'll see you next week with new rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Arrow | Season 8 Episode 6 - "Reset"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

I'm sorry if this is coming a little late - too many things to do. But I'm here now so let's talk about Arrow.

Unfortunately, I don't think this was as good as the rest of the season. There were nice elements to this episode but, overall, it was exactly what I thought it would be - a filler episode. This was just a way to bring back Quentin and, as much as I love him, this didn't add to the story and so, I'm bit bummed. Still, as I said, this had nice elements so let's talk about it.

This whole episode is a loop. Oliver wakes up in a 'parallel' universe, where Quentin is alive and is the Mayor. He goes on with his night but every single time they die after finding a bomb. Eventually, Oliver realizes that he has to stop the bomb and so he does so. Unfortunately, that does nothing and he keeps stuck in the loop.

Later he finds Laurel which also tells him about the loop and so both of them try to work things out. A few attempts later, they think that the key might be to prevent Quentin's death (since he died every time) but, surprise surprise, that does nothing either.

However, in of the latter attempts to save Quentin, Laurel tells him everything that she need to say when the real Quentin died and, after that, she got free from the loop.

That really confused Oliver who, then, is faces with Lyla who tells him that he needs to realize something. But Oliver, being the stubborn that he is, he keeps trying to save Quentin and, it's when Quentin gives up, that Oliver realizes that, what he needs to understand is that he can't prevent his death during the Crisis and he needs to make peace with it.

After that, Oliver is free from the loop. Both him and Laurel wake up and find themselves, along with Mia, William, Diggle and Connor, in Liam Yu, and that's the end of the episode.

As I said, more of the same. The only thing that makes this episode special was Quentin (and the lack of Mia, who you know I find so damn annoying). This episode was also directed by David Ramsey so, there's that. It was a good episode directing wise, I just wish they had done something else with the story. Also, Lyla was so damn irritating! I know they basically tell us that she's on Oliver's side but... I just can't shake how shady she was.

Anyway, this are my thoughts on this week's Arrow. Even if this wasn't the best episode, I'm pretty stoked for the next one. Everything that involved Lian Yu is pretty great so, my expectations are a bit high.

Let me know what you thought of the episode and how do you think it all is going to end? Because we only have 4 episodes left (I don't know how I feel about that. I'm going to be devastated). 

Well, I guess I see you guys tomorrow with a new The Challenge rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Flash | Season 6 Episode 7 - "The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Pt. 1"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

I'm back for a new week of rants and, today, I'm starting with The Flash.

Actually, both episodes of The Flash and Arrow felt almost the same, this week. Both episodes focused a lot on our main heroes - Barry and Oliver - which was nice. However, both also felt like a bit of a filler episode. The Flash's episode was a little more interesting, in my opinion, and I feel like, in a way, it had a purpose, when Arrow's episode was just a straight up filler (but I'll get into that on Arrow's review).

So, this episode starts right where the last one ended, with the 'fight' between Rosso and Ralph. Of course Ralph didn't die but Rosso got him pretty good and was able to drain is blood, leaving my poor Ralph is a pretty rough state. Luckily, Frost gets to him in time and takes him back to STAR Labs, where Barry gives him a blood transfusion (through phasing, I might add). And that's when all the real problems start.

By doing the blood transfusion, somehow, a small trace of Rosso's blood enters Barry's bloodstream and that's what creates everything that we see in the episode. Barry passes out and starts seeing things (in his mind). That's when the Speed-force appears (also inside Barry's mind) and explains to him what is happening. She also tells Barry that Rosso is slowly taking control over Barry's body and that he needs to fight it. Using Barry's memories against him, Rosso tries to convince Barry to join him, promising him the power to prevent his death as well as save everyone else from the Crisis. This creates an huge conflict inside Barry's mind and both forces (the speed-force and Rosso) get into some type of battle. 

As we see that happening we cut to Cisco giving Barry Velocity X to try and get Barry to wake up and he does, saying that he 'beat it'. I don't know about you but it was pretty clear to me that something was wrong with Barry (plus, the name of the episode says Pt. 1 so, obviously, this wasn't over). Luckily, when Iris goes to check on him, she notices that something is wrong and she tells the others that he isn't Barry.

The episode ends with a fully infected Barry attacking his friends and reporting to Rosso, who's ready to start his plan as Bloodwork.

Well, I should mention that this episode also had a small side story where Iris, Allegra and Kamilla investigate the organization that turned Esperanza into a killer. There's not much to it, to be honest. This was just a plot to make Allegra tell Iris that she knows about Barry and the Crisis, that's it.

But before I finish the review I have to applaud Grant Gustin. I've always liked him (I mean, he's the reason why I started watching The Flash in the first place) and I knew he was a great actor but damn! The emotion he showed in this episode was amazing! Seriously! One of his best episodes!

Okay, I gave my shout out so, I guess that's it.

I'm really curious to see if they are going to be done with Rosso's story-line in the next episode, since the one after that is the Crisis but... What are they going to do after the Crisis?! This few episodes before the Crisis are pretty nerve wrecking and I just have no idea what to expect. With the Crisis the same! I'm super excited but I'm also super afraid so, let's see.

Let me know what you thought of the episode as well as your prediction for the future episodes (aka the Crisis) and I'll see you pretty soon with Arrow's review.

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 15 Episode 6 - "Golden Time"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

Yeah... Once again, I was completely wrong my this week's episode of Supernatural. It looks like all this episodes have been disguised as 'case of the week' but really, they are so much more. Actually, this episode does include a 'case of the week', but in a different way.

But before I start, I need to say that I've been so happy with this season! Just like in Arrow, they are taking all the series' best hits and just going down memory lane. Just a truly good and memorable final season (at least, so far). Okay, with that said, I can get into this week's episode.

It looks like every week we have a different old character coming back, and this week we had Eileen! Eileen was one of those characters that I loved and I was so sad when she died. Luckily, because of all the things that happened in hell, she came back as a ghost and, obviously, the brothers tried to help her.

Eileen got away from Hell once God opened the doors and now she's afraid to come back, so the brothers come up with something - using Rowena's journals to create a Soul Catcher to contain her. However, when Sam goes to Rowena's place, he finds a spell Rowena was creating that could potentially bring Eileen to life. But of course, things couldn't be that easy and right away two witches who also want that spell attack and kidnap Sam. As you can imagine, some fights go down but, in true Supernatural fashion, Dean shows up and both of them with Eileen's help (as a ghost) they take care of the witches (Sam using a spell that he learned from Rowena and just making my heart warm so proud of what he learned from her and just the reminder of their 'relationship').

At the same time, we get to see what Castiel is up to. Turns out he's kind of on vacation, that is until he hears of some murders in the area and starts investigating. This kind of made me sad that they didn't get a bit deeper into it because the monster in this case was a djinn and those are one of my favorite type of monsters. But still, it was a good part of the episode and, in the end, Castiel did manage to help a mother that was looking for her kid, saving the kid and killing the djinn. 

The episode then ends with not only a pretty touching scene between Sam and Dean but also Eileen's resurrection! Yes, the spell worked and Eileen is back, which I'm so happy about! Sam can be finally happy with someone (other than Dean, of course) (and yes, I'm one of those people that ships Sam and Eileen).

And yeah, that's pretty much it for this week's episode.

Unfortunately there won't be an episode next week, only December 5 so, until then, let me know your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you in one of my other rants!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 | Season 34 Episode 13 - "Dee-Day"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

I'm sorry I took a bit longer with this post but it has been some crazy days and just today I got to watch the episode. Post that, let's get into it.

This week, nothing changed. It was another stupid decisions filled episode. I swear, halfway through the season it just looks like they got dumb and decided to make the stupidest decisions.

The episode actually started on a good note - with a Purge challenge. We knew this was going to happen from the preview, but it was still super duper fun. This challenge was mainly based on swimming and, surprisingly, there's a lot of The Challenge players that either don't know how to swim or aren't really good at it (and to think that to be on The Challenge you had to be good at basically everything). And so, because of that, this was an interesting episode. The main focus was obviously Dee because of all the things that happened with Rogan and because she isn't a good swimmer. This challenge also required duos and the slowest swimming duo, from either Team, would go home right away and so, no one wanted to be paired with Dee (I felt really sorry for her). But you know what this does? Make her prove people wrong and that was exactly what she did! Rogan and her weren't even in the Top Two. However, who were in the Top Two were Leroy/Kam (which was expected because neither of them are that great at swimming) and, as a surprise to everyone (not me really, but to the contestants) Joss/Kayleigh. Yeah, who would've thought Joss would be in the Bottom Two. Actually, who would've thought that Joss was going home just like that? Yes, Him and Kayleigh here the ones sent home right away and, to be honest, it was Karma. I was pretty happy with this outcome! He decided to send Georgia into elimination which made her go home because he said Kayleigh was as good (or even better) than Georgia and now... Yeah, he regretted his decision. 

So, those two were sent home, which left Team UK with only 5 players. But that wasn't the end of it. They also lost this challenge which meant they had to nominated a guy to go into elimination. Personally I thought it would finally be Rogan but... I was wrong. Dee was naive again and she voted for Jordan, as did CT and Rogan and yeah, Jordan went into elimination again.

Then, the Tribunal (Ninja, Ashley and Zach) went with Josh - someone from their own Team. Of course Zach didn't vote for him but still, Ninja and Ashley voted the same way and so Josh went against Jordan.

It was a pretty epic elimination. Everything was in Josh's favor - it was a tug-a-war type of challenge we all know that Jordan has an disadvantaged but... Jordan is smart and he worked some genius plans and he eventually won, in a really big twist!

It was a pretty huge episode, mainly because of the elimination but, at this point, I'm losing faith that either Cara or Paulie are going to be sent home. Paulie really isn't because in the preview we see that all the guys are going to the final right away so... It's just the girls that are on the line next week.

This also means that the final is pretty close. At this point I hope either Zach, Tori or Jordan win (yeah, I never thought I would be saying I was rooting for Jordan) but they're the only ones against Paulie's alliance right now so... I just don't want anyone from Paulie's alliance to win.

Let me know who are you rooting for in the final and I'll talk to you soon, with another rant.

Love,

Daniela.

The Flash | Season 6 Episode 6 - "License to Elongate"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!
Yes, I was right, this episode was awesome!

As you might have guessed by the title, this episode is pretty much dedicated to Ralph (which, you know, I'm not mad about - at all). I've loved Ralph since the very beginning. Ever since everyone thought he was annoying and he didn't add much to the plot, I was here, supporting him, and it's so nice to see him being appreciated more, because this episode was pretty much just to get Barry to 'pass the torch' to Ralph and give him some recognition.

It does take some time to get to the point and so we follow Ralph, again, on his quest for Sue Dearbon (*wink*). Barry tags along with Ralph and I knew we were in for a ride. I love Ralph and Barry together and this was another great episode of them together. Although, this time, Barry wasn't is best. I get it, you needed to show that Ralph is also a good hero and a good detective but c'mon! Barry couldn't be that bad. I mean, he's naive and everything but not to that point. I guess this was also to show that Barry is too often The Flash and that he needs to be Barry Allen more.

I'm not going to get into details here (you've seen the episode, I'm sure) but, of course, they get caught, they are able to get themselves free and go after the 'bad guys' and that last fight scene might have been one of my favorite (if not my actual favorite) of the series. I just wasn't expecting the Muse soundtrack and it fit perfectly in the scene. It also helps that I'm a Muse fan and I love that song. But seriously, it was a really cool scene!

But because this episode couldn't be all about Ralph and Barry, meanwhile they're in their adventure, we see Nash asking Allegra for help, requiring her UV emitting ability to illuminate a wall filled with eternium in order to get to the Monitor. I guess I wasn't right with that. I thought that stone would help Barry live (it might still do that, who knows) but for now, Nash just wanted to get 'through' the wall (I guess. The whole thing is still a bit messy in my head). This not only is a way to make Allegra face her fears (of becoming her cousin) but also a way for her to know everything about Team Flash, since Nash ended up telling her all about doppelgangers, the multiverse and even Flash's real identity (aka Barry). 

The last story-line of the episode was Cecile's, who helps Runk to get his life back now that his powers have stabilized. It was a pretty useless story-line, in my opinion, and it really didn't add anything to the plot.

The episode ends with Ralph being attacked by Rosso.

I have no idea where this is going. I'm sure Ralph is fine but something else is going to happen because we see Barry crying in the preview for next week. Still, that preview looked really confusing to me so I have no further predictions. If you have any make sure to let me know and I guess I'll see you guys in my next rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Arrow | Season 8 Episode 5 - "Prochnost"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

So, we're halfway through the season and I don't know to feel about that. On one hand I feel sad it's almost ending but, at the same time, it feels like they still have a long way to go to see everything come to an end and, although it has been a good 'memory lane' type of season, there's still so much about the Monitor and Crisis that we have to figure out that the time left doesn't seem enough.

In terms of this episode I have to say that I was on defense. I also was on the last episode and turned out I loved it and, after that episode, I was sure this one couldn't be better. And it wasn't, but it was still so much fun. Last episode focused a lot of Oliver and William's relationship, which I loved, and this one more on Oliver and Mia's, which I didn't really love, but there was so much more to this episode that I kind of forgot about that part.

The episode actually starts with Oliver teaching Mia stuff and it was really nice to see that Oliver is so much better than Mia. I just feel like so many people have been giving her too much credit and it was good to see who's the OG and who really gets it (Oliver). But pretty quickly our Team goes to Russia, which we saw in the preview.

For this mission Oliver takes William, Mia and Laurel, while Diggle goes looking for something else (and someone else, which I'll get in a minute). But before they leave we see Laurel meeting with Lyla, who's working with the Monitor. Lyla tells Laurel that she needs to get the plans that they're going to Russia for before Oliver does and steal them for the Monitor. Laurel agrees so but, as you can imagine, the entire episode, as for Laurel's arc, is dedicated to make her doubt that agreement and make her see that she has changed.

Arriving in Russia, of course, we had to get to Anatoly. It wouldn't be a Russia episode without Anatoly. And I loved it. I've always liked Anatoly, even when he wasn't his best. He kind of disappointed me a few times, but I'm so glad that he's back to being on Oliver's side and helping him, just like this time with those plans they have to steal.

They don't really get to steal the plans but Burov, the owner of the plans, offers a deal - a cage match for the drive, which Oliver agrees to. The fights in this episode were pretty cool, even though I'm not Mia's biggest fan and I don't really like when she's showing off, but it was fine. I mean, it wasn't really fine because they were caught and the Bratva kidnapped Oliver and Mia, and it had to be Laurel, Anatoly and William to rescue them. In the end, they are able to get the plans and everything ends well.

At the same time, Diggle goes to Roy for help. Yes, Roy is back! And after the two of them get what they were searching for (plutonium) Roy decides to stay with the Team and help them during this Crisis and against the Monitor. 

Later that night, Laurel turns down Lyla's offer to join her mission as Oliver and Diggle discover Lyla's betrayal, just to end up tranquilized.

The episode ends like that and we see in the preview that, the next episode, is going to be basically all 'imagination'. Just a filler episode, as I said on my twitter. It will have Quentin Lance back, which is nice, but I feel like this season we can't waste time on a filler episode so I just hope that the next episode leads somewhere.

But that's it guys. Not my favorite episode this season but still a solid one.

Let me know what you thought and I'll talk to you soon.

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 15 Episode 5 - "Proverbs 17:3"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

Final rant of the week.

This week's Supernatural episode was disguised as a case of the week. I say disguised because there was so much more to this episode. I was shocked! Seriously, I thought I was in for something and then they just switched to something completely different and, you know what? I'm so glad they did! Don't get me wrong, I love the 'case of the week' type of episode, but this is the final season so they have to step it up a notch and they did exactly that with this episode.

Once again, the episode opens with another of Sam's nightmare, following by a case of five strange deaths in Colorado, which they pretty soon learn are from werewolves.

The werewolves, brothers Andy and Josh, kidnap the last survivor of their attacks after Dean unexpectedly falls sleep. This whole thing was really sketchy since the beginning. As Sam said in the episode, it was too easy. They discovered it was werewolves, they had a survivor who clearly saw the attackers, they found them right away... It was way too easy and since they got to the girl I knew something was up, I just didn't know what.

But anyway, after the kidnapping, luckily, Dean and Sam know who are the werewolves and pretty soon they get to their cabin. There's a fight, of course, and in the end, Andy, who hates what they are doing, kills his brother and then kills himself.

By this time it was only the middle of the episode so of course there had to be a twist.

Turns out the girl the Winchesters were protecting was Lilith, resurrected by God from the Empty and in search of the gun that Sam used to kill God. Of course the brothers don't want to give her the gun but, this time, she's not as nice and she's still pretty powerful so she paralyzes them and finds the gun which she immediately destroys. After that she reveals that God's intended endgame is for the Winchesters to kill each other and that's when Sam makes the connection. 

After arriving in the bunker, Sam tells Dean about the nightmares and says that they might be God's possible endings and that she's seeing them because of the link created when he shot God. 

The episode ends with the brothers lost because the thought they had been free from God and, after all, he's still writing their story.

To be completely honest, I have no idea how the boys are going to get out of this. All I know is that they're going to need as much help as they can get, and that might possible include Lucifer, who knows. Either way, this season is looking pretty good and, my only complain right now is the lack of Jack and Castiel. I just want those two back and I'm happy.

With that said, let me know what you thought of the episode. Did you think it was just another 'case of the week' episode? Were you surprised about Lilith? Tell me everything and I'll see you next week with brand new rants!

Love,

Daniela.

American Horror Story: 1984 | Season 9 Episode 9 - "Final Girl"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Here we are with American Horror Story: 1984's season finale.

I have to say, it was a bit bittersweet to me. What I felt towards this episode was exactly what I felt about the first one of the season - way too cheesy for me and just not that good overall. I might have just been me that know about people's theories and so, because of that, most of the episode was so predictable to me.

The episode opens with a 2019 title card and with Finn Wittrock. We already knew that he's going to be in it so no surprise there. Also, I knew right away who he was playing - Bobby, Mr. Jingles son. That was a theory that was floating around and yeah, people were totally right.

We find out that he has been receiving money from someone during all this years and now that her uncle died, he came looking for answers, thinking his father was the one sending the checks.

Bobby meets Montana and pretty soon Trevor as well. Him and us find out what happened on the day of the festival. Turns out it was basically cancelled, after Trevor putting on a 'plan' of sorts and stopped everyone from going into the Camp and that's when Margaret almost kills him - outside Camp Redwood. Luckily, Brooke shows up and she helps Trevor into the Camp in order to die there and be with Montana forever (which ended up happening).

After that, the ghosts make a plan to kill the remaining killers in the Camp - Bruce, Ramirez and Margaret. They say that Bruce was easy - Trevor attacked him and threw him outside the perimeter so he doesn't die inside the Camp. As for Ramirez, it was a bit harder. Montana was able to lure him into a cabin and there happens one of the bloodiest scenes in this episode (and maybe even the whole season). All the ghosts kill Ramirez and they agree to keep an eye on him so, every time he wakes up, they kill him again - and that's what happens for thirty years. Unfortunately, with Bobby's appearance, they kind of get distracted and Ramirez wakes up (back in 2019) and he attacks Bobby. Luckily the ghosts get onto him again and Bobby is able to get out, with Montana telling him to go to the Asylum.

There he meets Donna, who further elaborates that in 1989, the ghosts brutally murdered Margaret, but not before she killed Brooke.

With this Bobby believes that Donna was the one to send him the money, but no. And so, both of them trace Bobby's money which leads them to Brooke, who didn't die after all. She tells them that Ray helped her stay alive and she really was the one to send Bobby the money.

Still not satisfied, Bobby gets back to Camp Redwood in order to find his father. That's when he meets another ghost - Margaret. Yes, turns out she did die inside the camp and well, she doesn't mean well and she tries to kill Bobby. That's when Richter appears and saves Bobby. That was a pretty touching moment but I just couldn't shake the irony of having Twisty and Dandy hugging. It's just really ironic.

But anyway, Margaret doesn't give up and she tries again, that's when Lavinia appears and she saves Bobby this time.

In the end, Bobby shares a tearful farewell with his family and departs. And then comes the ending titles.

Overall the season wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. That first episode really teared down my hopes and I really thought this was going to be awful. Luckily, it got better with time and can't say it was a bad season. It's not on my TOP 5, but it's still not as bad as Freak Show or Coven (I said what I said).

Let me know what you thought of the season finale as well as what you thought of the season overall and I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Love,

The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 | Season 34 Episode 12 - "The Right Honorable Rogan"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Brand new week of rants and prepare yourselves - I have some strong opinions about this episode of The Challenge (as I always do, let's be honest).

This is a f*cking joke! For real. I was loving the beginning of the season. The big moves, sending home big players (even if one of those was Bananas) it was pretty exciting and something never seen on The Challenge. But now... It's just dumb! Ever since the UK won and still decided to send into elimination one of their own I knew this was doomed and there's no way Team UK is going to win this season. And that wasn't dumb enough, they were even dumber this episode.

The episode began with quite a lot of drama, to be honest. Right away we saw Rogan and Joss talking to Paulie saying that they wanted to throw in Dee (they said she was the weakest on their team *cough* Kayleigh *cough*) and this coming from Rogan, who looked like had feelings for her. That thing got a bit brushed over by Tori and Jordan's engagement. They threw a little party, with Zach even having a speech and it was pretty cute. Guess who didn't go to the party? Cara, yes. This just shows how awful she is as a human being. She just needs to sort her sh*t out. Only people who have miserable lives act like that so... Take some time off and work on yourself. You really need it.

Anyway, after that we get into the week's challenge and... It was awful. The challenge itself didn't look too difficult but what was the worst was that CT threw the challenge (aka making Team UK loose) because of all the things with Rogan, Joss and Paulie about throwing in Dee. For real, that was just the dumbest thing ever! And even more because, in the end of the day, Dee didn't even go into elimination. It was just really stupid!

But I'm getting ahead of myself. So, Team USA won and they chose Kam as the speaker and she chose to join the Tribunal Nany and Leroy. It was just a plan to keep an eye on Nany and... Ugh! This whole thing between the three just annoyed the hell out of me. I'm with Nany on this, to be honest. First, I never really liked Kam. Second, Kam just thinks she's the sh*t and she really isn't. And third, I'm really disappointed at Leroy for joining Paulie and not join the right alliance (who isn't even an alliance, they're just all friends). Basically everyone left this season is f*cking annoying and just can't deal with them. 

As for the nominations, there wasn't really a nomination. They all basically voted for Tori and that's it. I felt really sorry for her because not only she just went in, but also she just got engaged and... C'mon! Give her a break! As I said, it just messes with me on a whole another level.

Well, as I mentioned before, in the end, Tori went in but not against Dee - against Jenny. That was the worst scenario because not only I like both of them, but also they were the strongest of Team UK (one more proof that they're just dumb). And well, it looks like half of my prediction was right - Jenny did go into elimination but not against Dee, against Tori. But the biggest surprise of all was that Tori actually won against Jenny! Jenny looked like a beast and that no one could really beat her but I guess I was wrong. I'm still happy though because everyone keeps underestimate Tori and I believe she could take out all of the remaining girls.

Next episode looks like it's going to be a huge one. Not only it is called "Dee-Day", and after Rogan's betrayal she sure as hell is going to retaliate, but also because a guy and a girl are going to go home right away - the worst two of the challenge are going home... And it's a swimming challenge so finally Cara might be going home! I sure as hell hope so!

Post all that, let me know all your thoughts on this week's episode. Did you agree with what Team UK did? Or you agree that they were dumb? Tell me everything and I'll see you soon with new rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 15 Episode 4 - "Atomic Monsters"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

After one week off, Supernatural is back with a pretty good episode! It was a 'case of the week' type of episode but with a few more things. After all, they can't just waste time with a 'simple' case of the week episode. With the series ending, there's so many things to wrap up that they can't waste an episode. Still, it pretty much felt like a 'case of the week' episode.

This is where the true predictions are going to start because, apart from Sam and Dean, there was also kind of a lot of God (aka Chuck) in the episode and he brought some pretty interesting stuff that might 'help' us come up with some theories. Personally I don't have any (for now) but we'll see.

The episode begins with Sam having a nightmare where he, under the influence of demon blood, appears to be leading several demons and kills a bunch of hunters, including Dean. Luckily it was only a nightmare and when he wakes up, Dean presents him a new case - a cheerleader, Suzie, who was apparently killed by vampires.

It's nothing new that our boys can work around things and so, obviously, they find out who's responsible for the murder - and everything leads to Billy's family (Suzie's boyfriend). Of course, they try to trick us but, at this point, we already are experts and we knew if couldn't be the parents - Billy was the vampire and he killed Suzie by accident when he lost control of his blood lust. This last moment with Billy was actually pretty sad, with him taking the blame for everything and agreeing to go with the Winchesters to, of course, be killed. 

At the same time this is happening with the brothers, God visits Becky Rosen, in search for a purpose. This gives us so many details on who Becky is right now and I had completely forgotten that she doesn't know Chuck is God. And, because she doesn't know, she tells Chuck that he should keep writing - and so he does. However, when Becky goes to read his ending for the Winchesters she's horrified and, for her, this is 'only' a story, but we know that he's God and so that means this story is most likely becoming true and now I'm afraid. I've always been afraid - I know how Vampire Diaries ended - and I'm sensing a similar ending which, I liked, but was extremely sad.

But anyway, this isn't really the end of the episode. 

The episode ends with Chuck making Becky and her family vanish and beginning to prepare his plan to bring the Winchesters to a dark end - which is the series finally, most likely.

My prediction for now is that one of the brothers is going to die, for sure! And TVD is any indication (not that it's made by the same producers or anything, it just has similar themes and has been on the CW for a long time), I'm pretty sure one of the brothers is going to sacrifice himself for the other. I don't know, but I have a feeling that's what's going to happen and mostly likely Dean is the one to die. They're setting up to look like Sam is the one to die, but I doubt that. Also, Dean is my favorite and on TVD my favorite died (not mentioning who because you might not know) so... I don't know.

I would like to know your theories tho, so leave them in the comments and I'll see you next week with knew rants!

Love,

Daniela.
