The Flash | Season 6 Episode 12 - "A Girl Named Sue"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Well, this episode of The Flash was so much better than the previous ones. But still, it wasn't great.

Overall, I feel like the show doesn't know what to do after Crisis. They had a good plan until Crisis happened but then, it looks like they run out of ideas. I mean, this story can turn out great but, so far, it just looks like a mess. And that was exactly what this episode was.

This episode had, mainly, three stories which, in my opinion, are already too many. The worst thing is that they all somehow intertwine but we still don't get it. Maybe that's what they wanted to do, but I'm not liking it as of right now.

One of the story-lines in the episode is particularly confusing. There's something happening in Central City, something that Joe is looking into and asks Barry for help. Once again, it looks like the producers don't know what to do with Barry and, because the show is names The Flash, they just keep him around... For nothing really. In the end, it looks like this story connects with the overall plot, but again, I don't get it.

Then, there's the Iris in the mirror story-line. Even if not that great, it was somehow interesting. We met the woman behind the mirror and... It was fine, I guess. The thing is, I do not care about what happens to Iris so... Once again, it just pointless and boring, in my opinion.

But let's end on a better note and talk about the third story in the episode - Ralph and Sue!

Yes, I'm a bit biased because it's Ralph and I missed him but it was so cool to finally meet Sue. We knew this was going to happen and so finally seeing Ralph's love interest appear on the show, it was interesting. I was a bit on defense because I love Ralph and I wanted to ship him with her and... I guess I did, in the beginning of the episode. But then, she turned on him and she became a real b*tch. I predict she'll turn and become part of Team Flash but, as of right now, she's a bad girl and so I ended the episode not particularly liking her. I just want a good girl for Ralph, okay?

And well, I guess this are my thoughts on the latest episode of The Flash.

As I said, not a good episode but for sure better than the last two. I just feel like they are just lost on what to do with the show. I sure hope it gets better and I have faith. There's at least still some interesting stories so... Which reminds me that I forgot to mention that there was something about Nash and him seeing Harry... That is something that I'm really curious about and looks genuinely interesting. I hope we get more of that in future episodes.

Okay, I guess that's it now. Let me know what you thought of the episode and which was your favorite story-line and I'll see you in two weeks time. Yes, unfortunately, there won't be any rants for a week because I'm going on holidays. Which means, there's going to be so many posts in the beginning of March so be on the look for those. I'll see you then!

Love,

Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 3 Episode 2 - "Part II"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Oh My God I have so many questions!

If I thought I knew where this season was going, this episode really threw me off. I really thought I had things figured out but there was so much that happened that changed and confused my mind. One thing is for sure - there's something clearly wrong with Jamie. The good thing is, that makes for an awesome performance from Matt Bomer, which makes me so happy and really excited to see more!

I guess I can say that, the main focused of this episode, was Nick's hand injury. That was really bothering Detective Ambrose's mind and so he started digging on that. By doing that, he discovered that Jamie and Nick had been together three days before the accident, which was why Jamie said to Nick, in the previous episode, that they couldn't be keep meeting (or something like that).

Through flashbacks of Jamie thinking about it, we see Jamie and Nick having dinner in Manhattan and we discover that it was actually Jamie who reached out to Jamie which initially I thought was the other way around. However, we still see Nick influencing negatively Jamie, and so does Detective Ambrose when he goes through the security footage of the restaurant. But still with that, there was something wrong and weird about the whole thing. Jamie tells Nick that he stopped feeling which lead me to believe that he wanted danger in order to feel something. That is kind of contradictory which my initial prediction, but I still think they were planning on doing something to or with that women who owned the land. But even in that regard we get some information in this episode.

Sonya, the woman, finds a freshly dug grave on her property and a jacket over the shovel. Inside the jacket's pocket Detective Harry Ambrose finds another origami game (which I don't know the name in English, I'm sorry) which makes me question everything again.

All I know is that there's clearly something wrong with Jamie. Everything that we learned in this episode makes me think of a serial killer behavior, but there must be something deeper in all of this. This woman, Sonya, is clearly part of everything that was going on, Nick really wasn't a good influence and him and Jamie obviously used to do something that not only was dangerous but also maybe illegal and, of course, Jamie is reaching rock bottom and eventually he's going to snap.

Needless to say, I'm so enjoying this season! Even more than the last one, I would say. This gets weirder and weirder and we're only on episode two.

Let me know which are your predictions now, after this episode. Did you change your initial theory? Did this new clued made it clearer for you? Tell me everything!

I'll see you next week with more rants!

Love,

Daniela.

The Flash | Season 6 Episode 11 - "Love Is A Battlefield"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

I'm back with a new The Flash rant and... Same old, same old.

That's right, this week's episode of The Flash was another disappointment. I would go as far as saying that this episode was worse than the previous one. I don't know what the producers are thinking but having Iris in the center of the story is not doing for me. Okay, I know I'm a bit biased because I'm not a fan of her character but still... The show is named The Flash for a reason, and Barry is the center of the show and they're sidelining him and it's not working.

And if that wasn't enough, they bring back an old bad guy (or should I say girl) - Amunet. Don't get me wrong, she's fun and all, but I'm so tired of the same plots and the same villains... They really lost it's track with this whole Crisis thing. I would much rather have Barry vanish in Crisis and just see the Team dealing with that. I think that would be so much more interesting and, of course, having Barry back after a few episodes. That would be really predictable, I know, but it would be so much more interesting that this 'nothing' plot.

I'm not even going to touch on the Amunet story-line because it's just pointless. It was just a plot to have Iris run this plan and kind of show that she's not the real Iris (which we see by the end of the episode). I'm sensing that this 'not Iris' thing will get pretty old really soon but let's hope I'm wrong, because I don't want to see another of my favorite shows fail.

Luckily, there was a nice plot in this episode - Frost and Allegra.

Meanwhile those things where happening with Iris and Barry, Frost convinces Allegra to reconnect with her ex-boyfriend. That wasn't major, but it was a nice little thing. Also, they touched on the Nash being Allegra's father thing and, in the very end, Nash starts seeing a glimpse of Harry. I have no idea what that means, but I'm intrigued.

Overall I just feel like the show lost it's essence. Cisco left for a while, there's no Caitlin and only Frost, Ralph is nowhere to be seen, they put Iris as the 'leader' of the Team Flash and in the center of the show and Barry was barely Flash in this episode. I don't know, I'm just loosing faith. I don't want this to become Supergirl (which I stopped watching because it was getting really bad). As I said, I have hope and I'm going to keep praying that they find their way but I can't see that happening anytime soon.

Well, I'm pretty disappointed in the show, as you saw but I would love to know what are you thinking of this last episodes post-crisis. Do you feel the same way as I do or do you like having Iris be a main character in all this? Let me know everything and I'll see you soon in my next rant!
Love,

Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 3 Episoe 1 - "Part I"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new series here on the blog!

That's right! I decided to rant about another show. After Arrow ended, I felt like I should 'replace' it and there's so many series that I like and that I want to talk about so here it is. And, I asked you guys on twitter which one would you prefer and, it was actually a tie, but I went with The Sinner. The Sinner is not a show that I've been watching since the beginning. Actually, this is the first season that I'm really following. The previous ones I binge watched but still, I thought they were pretty unique and not only this is a show that always keeps you guessing (which is goo for theories and everything) but this is also an anthology, a bit like American Horror Story so I thought this was a good choice!

As for this season, I must say I was pretty excited about it. In case you didn't know, I'm an huge fan of Matt Bomer (I might have mentioned it on an American Horror Story rant) and if I already was excited about a new season, when they announced that Matt Bomer was going to be the lead of the third season, I was thrilled. And he did not disappoint!

This Season starts off pretty good! The premise is simple but there are a few clues that I think are going to throw us off and surprise us. But basically this season, and what we see in this first episode, is a man that has a car accident and is killed.

The connection between the seasons is Detective Harry Ambrose, who is called to the scene of this car accident. The driver, the one that died, was Nick Haas, a former college friend of Jamie Burns (played by Matt Bomer) who was also in the car but who survived. 

I really don't know what to touch on in this review. There are a few clues that allow us to piece together what happened that night. The only thing that we know, which is shown in the end of the episode is that Jamie did cause the accident and he didn't call 911 soon enough and let 'his friend' die on purpose. His intention with the accident was not to kill him, but after, he did basically refused to help him. Now the question is - why?

In all of this there's also a woman who is really suspicious, in my opinion. The owner of the land where they crashed. It looks like that road only lead to that woman's house so they must have wanted to go there. Also, the woman asks Harry if they had guns which might not look like much but that set a whole plot in my head.

So, my initial prediction, when Nick arrived at Jamie's house, unannounced, and after Jamie tells him he can't keep doing that was that they were lovers. But after the whole thing with that woman and after Jamie's wife asks him he there was anything romantic between them, I have another theory.

As of right now, I think Nick was a Hit-man and that him and Jamie used to do it in College (as they said during dinner). Nick was hired to killed that woman (she must have done something because she knew someone was after her) but Jamie didn't want to be part of that life anymore (hence why they haven't spoken for years). My other theory is that the woman was going to hire them to kill someone and she was, indeed, expecting them. I don't know for sure (obviously, this is only episode 1) but my bet is on my first theory, for now. But knowing this show, this is going to have some plot twists so I can't wait for the next one.

Before I end this rant I just wanted to say that I'm really happy that Matt Bomer got this role. I feel like he always plays similar roles and in this he can really show how good he is so, I'm thrilled and, again, can't wait for more.

Well, I hope you liked this new addition to the blog and let me know if you're a fan of The Sinner. And, if you've never seen it, you should, cause it's really good!

That's it for now. Let me know your initial theories and I'll see you tomorrow with a new The Flash rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Flash | Season 6 Episode 10 - "Marathon"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everybody!

I know, I know... Late as always with these rants. I'm just going to get pass that and dive right into the new The Flash episode.

Unfortunately, the come back of The Flash after Crisis wasn't the best. Heck, I would go as far as to say that this was the worst episode of the season. I was pretty excited because Diggle was going to be in this episode and I love to still see some Arrow characters even though the show is over. But, like I said, unfortunately, the main focus of this episode was not the Diggle/Barry story-line. Instead, it was a story-line that was in one of the previous episodes, about Iris and the Citizen girls investigating something and... That just was really boring.

The girls went after an organization called 'Black Hole' which, in theory, looked like good villains for the rest of the season, but they weren't. We still don't know the overall picture. I mean, from what I've noticed, this is going to be the story for the remaining of the season and, needless to say, I'm not happy about it. Also, I don't know if it's just me but maybe Iris just isn't as interesting as Barry?! I mean, I never really liked Iris, to be honest, but this investigation was lead by her and Barry had nothing to do it and maybe that was the main problem.

I don't even know if I should get into much detail because I just don't care about that story. Also, it's the same deal over and over again... They hunt someone, people start dying, they realize they're going after the wrong someone and they 'find' the bad guy in the end. Although, in the very end of the episode Iris finds a 'magic mirror' or something, which is connected to the wife of the main guy that leads the Black Hole. And the thing is, his wife was supposed to be dead but something grabs Iris and pulls her into the mirror. That was genuinely creep, but not enough to make me like this episode.

The other story of the episode, although better, still wasn't enough to make me like this episode.

Yes, Diggle came to Central City to give Barry Oliver's mask, which was in Oliver's will, and pretty soon Barry starts thinking that this is Oliver's way to send him a message. With that, Barry and Diggle go to Lian Yu, in search for Mirakuru, afraid that, after Oliver merged the worlds, something happened and there was still Mirakuru there. But, then they arrive, they don't find any Mirakuru and Diggle realizes that maybe Oliver was just trying to tell Barry to live his life and protect the ones he loves. To be honest, I still think there's something in Lian Yu, but okay... I was happy to have Diggle in the episode and loved the interactions between him and Barry - they made me think of Barry and Oliver, which you know is my favorite bromance.

And well, besides that, the only major thing that happened in the episode is that Cisco leaves to collect his thoughts and just get back to his old self. I don't really know what this means for the rest of the season. Will we ever see Cisco again? I don't know... But I guess that's basically it.

Not my favorite episode and I don't have my hopes up for the rest of the season, unfortunately.

Let me know what you thought and I'll see you soon with new rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 15 Episode 11 - "The Gamblers"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello again!

Well, I go from a pretty down rant (arrow) to a super exciting one (for now). I take back what I said about this episode in my last Supernatural rant. This episode was so good! I don't know if it was better than the previous one, but for sure it was equally good.

Last week's episode relied a lot on the funny stuff and just honoring previous episodes/seasons while this week's episode made the story move forward, which I always appreciate. Of course, they had to, since this was the Mid-Season Finale and next episode will only air in March... But let's get back to the episode.

So, as expected, we follow the brothers to Alaska, looking for the place Garth told them about. Turns out, this magical place is a bar where people bet their luck in games of pool. Well, Dean being the cocky son of a b*tch that he is, is super thrilled about the pool, as he's amazing at it. And, in the beginning, everything goes well, but of course, they start noticing something is wrong about the place (well, Sam does which just shows the type of person that he is) and they soon find out that the place is run by the pagan goddess Fortuna who later explains that she's actually pissed at God as well. And, although Sam and Dean loose against her, she chooses to restore their luck anyway after impressing her and showing that they are true heroes. I don't know about you, but I feel like there's a lot of hints throughout this season to how the series will end and, so far, I stick to my initial prediction - the brothers winning, killing God and Sam replacing him. 

But anyway, this episode wasn't just about the brothers. Oh no, we got Jack back! They addressed it in episode 9, in the very end, but I thought it would take some time to actually have him be part of the story but I guess I was wrong. This was a really nice surprise and I loved that they had a side story in this episode not only with Jack but with Cas as well. That's right, Cas is the one that learns out about Jack and he is also the one that finds him. Castiel finds out that Jack is targeting Grigori (which I did not remember them) who are fallen angels that feed on innocent souls and well... Jack kills them and eats their hearts.

After finding him, Cas takes Jack back to the bunker and that's when we have our family back together again! Really, that was such a nice moment, Sam and Dean finding Jack and alive and hugging him and everything... It was really cute. 

And then, in the end, Jack explains that Billie kept him hidden in the Empty, waiting for God to leave to resurrect him. He also tells them that Billie has a plan and that he's being following her plan which, if he keeps following it, he will be strong enough to kill God - which makes my prediction even stronger. I saw people saying that Jack will replace God but... I don't thin so. I think Jack will be the one to kill him but someone will have to replace God and I'm pretty sure it will be Sam. There's no way the series will end with both brothers alive and well. There's just no way. And, to be honest, the better way is to have Sam be God and just visit Dean every time he wants to. Or, Dean can die and Sam will be God and they can both be in Heaven. That would look weirdly similar to Arrow's ending but well, that's a possibility. Personally, I would rather have Sam be God and Dean be alive... And probably Jack will die in the end. I don't know about that last bit, but someone has to die.

Anyway, this are my thoughts on the episode and my predictions for the finale. I know there's still a few episodes left but we can keep theorizing. 

Let me know what you thought of the episode and do you think Jack will be able to kill God? And if so, will he be the new God? Tell all your predictions and I'll see you in my next rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Arrow | Season 8 Episode 10 - "Fadeout"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everybody!

Yes, the time has come. We have to say goodbye to Arrow. I took some time with this post, not because I was dealing with the end of the show, but because I had other stuff going on because, the truth is, I'm pretty happy with how the series ended. The episode did not have a story-line, that is the truth, but it's fine because we got the happy ending that we wanted (at least, I did) and really, overall, it was just an homage to the whole show and I loved that.

I also filmed my reaction to the episode and the video is up on my channel (youtube.com/danixinhahhh) so, feel free to check it out.

This last episode of the show really was a memory lane of all that makes the series great, starting with flashbacks. I'm not sure if there were new flashbacks or if we has seen them before (I'm pretty sure we did) but we saw something from when Oliver was only working with Diggle and going after the names on his father's list. That thing ties with the present, when one of those guys that Oliver killed, now, in this new universe, is alive and ends up kidnapping young William, who ends up being saved by older Mia who is invited to Oliver's funeral by Sara. And that is the main focus of the whole episode - Oliver's Funeral. 

The Funeral sparks a lot of comebacks and, since Oliver rebooted the Universe, basically all the characters are alive - Tommy, Quentin, Moira... Among with those cameos, at Oliver's Funeral were also Nyssa, Talia, Rory (Ragman) and, of course, the ones that have been in Oliver's life recently - Diggle, Lyla, Dinah, Laurel (Earth-2 Laurel), Rene, Thea, Roy and, of course, Felicity.

But speaking of Thea and Roy, probably my favorite part of the episode, was that Roy proposed to Thea and she said yes! I was so happy with that! Really! It never crossed my mind (I was way too focused on Olicity) but I loved that moment and I'm so happy for them!

Back to the Funeral, I forgot to mention that Barry and Kara also attended the Funeral, which was really sweet. I mean, I don't care much about Kara, but Barry had to me there! Barry and Oliver are probably my favorite bromance and Barry was there when Oliver died so he had to be at the Funeral. Also, I loved when Felicity said that she knew that Barry did everything he could because she knows him. That was so sweet! And, of course, we have to talk about Felicity! 

You all know that Felicity is my favorite character on the show and this finale wouldn't be the same without her, mainly, because of that very last scene!

In the very end, we see a flashback from last season, when Felicity goes with The Monitor to where Oliver was and, in this episode, we see where she went. They basically say it's the Afterlife, which probably means they are both dead, but they also mention that Oliver kind of still is the Spectre, which might mean that he's looking after all the other characters and I like to think that way and I like to think that Oliver and Felicity are living happily, wherever they are. And that is basically how the series ends. Olicity together! That was as close to an happy ending as we could get so I'm really happy with that!

But, before I end this post, I just wanted to touch on some other things that they mentioned about the other characters. 1) Rene is still running for Mayor (as we saw in the flash-forwards) 2) Dinah leaves Star City and that's probably how the events of the last episode end up happening and 3) the thing that we've been waiting for - Diggle as Green Lantern! Okay, it doesn't exactly happen but, as he's leaving with Lyla and the kids to Metropolis, he sees a meteor crash and finds a box containing an object emitting a green light, which can only mean one thing - Green Lantern. Also, he's moving to Metropolis and the Superman and Lois TV show is going to happen so... Is Diggle going to be on that?! I sure hope so because I want to see him as Green Lantern.

But yeah, I guess that's it for Arrow.

I'm really sad that one of my favorite series (another one, actually) has ended (and Supernatural is the next one) but I liked this ending and, unlike TVD, this was an happy ending so... I'm happy.

Let me know what you thought of Arrow's season finale. Did you like the ending? Or you didn't care about Olicity? Tell me everything and I'll see you (pretty soon) with a new rant!

Love,

Daniela.
