The Originals | No More Rants

Hello guys!

I'm here, sadly, to announce that I'm not going to do more The Originals rants.

This comes a little bit out of a sudden but, the truth is, I'm not doing great at Uni at the moment. I'm not doing really bad, but there's one particular subject that I'm strugling with and I need to focus more on that.

The blog and the rants are just an hobbie to me. Obviously I would love to do something related to reviewing or even be on a podcast to talk about my favourite series in the future, but right now my main priority is to do well at school and that means make choices and maybe even leave the blog behind.

I'm not going to do that, relax! But I did have to stop ranting about one of the series and the one that I chose was The Originals.

I love The Originals to death and they're like my substitute for TVD, but it was the last series that I started ranting about so I think it wouldn't be 'fair' to my other series to stop one of those before this one, so The Originals was the 'chosen one'.

Before I really end this post I just wanted to say that I did watch the last episode (as I'm still going to watch the show and, also, if you want to keep updated on my thoughts about the show you can live tweet with me @danixinhahhh or just go to my twitter page because I'll keep live twetting during the episode so, that won't change) and I really liked it. The last episode was basically all I wanted! You know I'm an hardcore Kolvina shipper and we finally had the happy ending that we wanted/deserved so, let's just pray this stays this way.

Ok, I think that's all for now...

I'm really really sorry but it's life and I just had to. Maybe I'll come back with the rants for the new season, who knows?!

Until then, there's still going to be Shadowhunters and The Challenge rants during the summer so, keep and eye on those!

Love,

Daniela.

The Originals | Season 4 Episode 10 - "Phantomesque"

Spoiler Alert!

I'm sorry I took a little too long with this rant. It's the same usual really... I got caught up on Uni work. But the year is almost ending so, hopefully, I will be up to date with the next rants.

Anyway so, this past week, I almost didn't watch the episode live. My stream was airing a Baseball game and The Originals only aired at 3am (GMT Time). But I waited I got to watch the whole episode 'live' which was nice.

This was a good episode. I don't think it was the best one (or one of the best) but it was nice. The whole thing about Elijah being trapped was pretty good and, the thing that I liked the most - Rebekah and Kol came back! It made sense, really... Not only because Elijah is 'in trouble' but also because the season is almost ending, which I sometimes forget because I'm not used to The Originals having only 13 episodes. But, let's get into the proper events...

So, like I said, Rebekah and Kol come back not only to help Elijah but (mostly) to help Klaus defeat The Hollow (which we saw in the last episode that got into her real body).

Meanwhile, Freya tries to 'fix' Elijah by entering in his mind. This is crucial because Freya can't fix the necklace while Elijah is 'lost' in his mind, otherwise he will really be stuck in the necklace forever. The issue is that Freya can't really do the two things at the same time, do the spell and get insde Elijah's mind at the same time, so Hayley volunteers to get inside his mind. And, because Hope is always the one to save everyone, she also has to help Freya to keep Hayley inside Elijah's mind.

Back to Klaus, Rebekah and Kol... They go after the remain 'stakes' that can kill them in order to destroy them. That'a when they find Marcel who just had an encounter with the Hollow. Turns out, he needs her blood/her magic to revert the state in which Sofya is in. That's when Rebekah accidentaly tells him that their looking for the last 'stake' and, obviously, he goes after it as well since it has part of The Hollow's magic. In the end, he gets it and he might be able to reverse the 'spell' or whatever in Sofya.

Everything works out fine with basically everyone... Once again, with Hope's help, Hayley and Freya 'find' Elijah, so Freya is able to fix the necklace. Elijah is still 'dead' but he's 'fine' inside the necklace. The only issue is that Hayley was face-to-face with Elijah's old self, the 'red door' Elijah, so she's now afraid of him, which is going to be insteresting from now on.

Then, about Rebekah, Kol and Klaus... Rebekah decides to stay with the family because she needs to help them get Elijah back, but Kol says that he can't because of what he found out earlier about Davina and the ancestors. That's when he goes to Davina's cript, to say goodbye and that's when he comes face to face with The Hollow and she tells him that she can bring Davina back, if Kol does stuff for her. At that moment I just say 'no'... It had to be Kol... And then, Davina screms, obviously Kol follows the sound and finds her, trapped, in a 'circle' and then The Hollow tells him that her and Davina are linked so, if he wants to keep her alive, he'll do what she says.

We all know that Kol is going to do that, nontheless, it's going to be interesting so how they are going to get out of this mess and, overall, how are we going to have Kolvina back! Seriously, that's all that I'm worried about! I'm kidding, but yeah, I really want to see Kolvina back so I'm pretty excited for the next episodes.

Anyway, let me know which are you're thoughts on the episode and which are your predictions for the next ones.

Love,

Daniela.

The Originals | Season 4 Episode 3 - "Haunter of Ruins"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys! I'm sorry I took some time with this rant but you know the deal so let's just get on with the episode.

Finally, this season, I got to watch an episode live and live tweet so, if you're following me on twitter you might have seen some of my reactions.

Overall I thought it was a good episode, although I liked the previous one a lot more.

Basically the only thing that I really liked about this episode was Klaus and Hope. We got to see a little bit of them in the end of last episode, but it was only Klaus watching Hope sleep, so we didn't have much interaction between them. But this episode they finally got to interact and, although the first time they actually meet wasn't as iconic as I thought it would be, the next scenes were so good!

Seriously, Klaus as a father is the best thing ever! Just like in the last episode we saw a completely different side of Klaus, with him being so vulnerable with Camille, in this episode we saw the 'fatherly' side of him, which is equally as good.

And yeah, that was basically the only thing that I really enjoyed about the episode.

We also got a little bit more into the whole witchy thing that is happening to kids and we actually find out that it was connected to Vincent and his ex-wife/ex-girlfriend Eva and their unborn child. We also see that someone is casting some spell on some kids which, by the end of the episode, Vincent gets to free basically all of them, except for one, Hope. The Hope thing we will see in the next episode, so I'm curious to know more about that.

Until now, I'm still pretty confused about all of this. I even though about rewatching the episode but I was already late with this rant that I decided to just write about that I really understood and I might end up rewatching the episode (or not, who knows?!).

Then, there was something that I really hated in this episode - Freya.

I never really liked her but in this episode she really pissed me of, with all that stuff about keeping Killan (?) locked up! Luckily, Hayley intervened and let her go, which is one point in favor of Hayley, who I don't like that much but with this I'm starting to like a little bit more.

Oh, we also got a little bit of Haylijah, which I don't like as well, so no need to talk about and then something else that I didn't like as well, Rebekah and Kol leaving! Like, Why?! Why you gotta do that to me? I mean, I understand about Claire Holt, I know she's really busy with a lot of other shows and all but Nate Buzolic?! C'mon! Seriously, I still have a little bit of hope that he will be back and will try to bring Davina back as well. I need my Kolvina back! There's no good ships on the show right now and basically the only ones that I'm shipping, not romantically, are Klaus and Hope. All the other ships are rubbish and I just need some good ships on the show.

And yeah, that's basically it...

I know, not much but, like I said, there wasn't much that I really enjoyed about this episode so... We're going to leave the rant here.

Let me know in the comments your thoughts about the episode and I'll see you in my next rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Vampire Diaries | Season 7 Episode 21 - "Requiem for a Dream"

Spoiler Alert!

I can't believe next episode is going to be a season finale.

This season have gone by so fast!

But, anyway, that's not what I'm here to talk about. I'm here to talk about how this episode was... and how amazing it was!

Once again, this episode was directed by Paul Wesley, and he also does an amazing job with 'his' episodes and, of course, this one wasn't exception.

The episode begins with a rather weird scene. Were were 'inside' Bonnie's head and we were seeing everything that she ws going through and, for moments, I believed that everything that was happening was true but, luckily, it wasn't. Nonetheless, the things didn't really go that well.

So, it seems like Bonnie is struggling to wake up. She's fighting the urge to kill all her friends and she even rather die than wake up and be after all of them. 

In order to wake her up, they decide to get inside her head, as a dream, and try to wake her up. Let's just say that basically all of them have to try it. Caroline is the first one though. They thought that, because she was Bonnie's friend before she became a vampire, that might make Bonnie see that Vampires aren't that bad and maybe she would wake up and not want to kill them. Well, the things don't go as plannes. She ends up stabbing Caroline, in the dream, but Caroline ends up marked by it in the real life, which means, when Bonnie wakes up, she will be the first person Bonnie will go after.

Stefan warns Caroline about that but she just doesn't care and Stefan ends up 'vervaining' her and kidnaping her.

So, since Caroline couldn't wake Bonnie up, the 'next one in line' was Enzo. Enzo's her boyfriend and that might work. (By this time, I knew that it would be Damon the only one to wake her up but... Let's just keep going.) They have a pretty cute moment in the dream (Bonnie and Enzo) but... She ends up stabbing him anyway and, well... Enzo is marked, just like Caroline. 

The last one to try is Damon, and Damon tries a different approach, which I quite liked! He makes her so angry saying a lot of things about the good times he had with Elena and Bonnie ends up trying to kill him and then... She wakes up!

Well, it wasn't the best thing to do, to be honest, but at least it worked.

Bonnie wakes up pretty angry at Damon and, even though she didn't mark him, she's going after him first. And that's when Matt comes into 'action'. He tries to change her mind and, he kind of does, apart from Damon. Bonnie tells Matt that she won't go after any of them but only if they (her and Matt) kill Damon first. Matt agrees with it, just for us to find out later that it was kind of a trap and, when she's about to kill Damon, Matt shots her with something to put her down (not kill her).

Anyway, meanwhile all of this is happening in Mystic Falls (yes, that's right, we are back to Mystic Falls), Stefan tries to make Caroline understand that she has to run, because Bonnie is after het, but Caroline doesn't want to. She ends up, then, realizing that Stefan was right and they finally have that talk that everyone (apart from me) were waiting for and so, Stefan and Caroline get on the run.

To end it all, we see that might be a chance that Bonnie get back to her old self. 

Enzo finds out that, if they unlink Bonnie's life to the last everlasting, that might break the link that she has with Rayna and make her stop going after vampires and just be the witch Bonnie that she is. But, the thing is, the last everlasting is inside the armory and... well... They opened the vault and god knows what was inside it. And I'm sure that's where the next season is going to!

I always thought that vault storyline was pretty interesting and I'm almost 100% sure that that is going to be the main storyline for next season so, my predictions are that they will break the link betweetn Bonnie and Rayna, and Bonnie will be back to her old self but something really bad is going to happen while they are inside the Armory.

And that was what happened in The Vampire Diaries. But, I always have to talk a litte bit about The Originals so... here are my thoughts.

I'm so mad about it right now! This episode left me really mad and sad at the same time! I predicted that they would kill Davina but... I never thought it would really happen! And not like this! Plus, they had to kill my two favourite characters, Davina and Lucien! Seriously, so done! When I thought that this is going to be my favourite season... I mean, it still is but... I just can't believe Lucien is really dead. And, even thought I never really liked Marcel, I'm so in Marcel's side right now. I just want, at least, Freya dead and, well.. I don't really want Klaus or Elijah or Kol dead but... I'm so mad at Elijah right now too that... I don't even know anymore...

Anyway, you got it already so, let me know in the comments your thoughts about both The Vampire Diaries and The Originals episodes and please, tell me I'm not the only one that loved Lucien!

That's it. We'll see you next week the TVD's Season Finale (can you hear me crying?!)

Love,

Daniela.

The Vampire Diaries | Season 7 Episode 17 - "I Went to the Woods"

Spoiler Alert!

Ok, I think I should start this rant by saying that this was probably the best episode of this season and one of TVD's best episodes of all time!

This episode was so intense and it made me feel all the feels! Besides, Paul Wesley did amazing in this episode, it made me realize why he has always been my favourite and why I love Stefan so much! 

So, after last weeks episode, and after Nora and Mary Louise destroyed the Phoenix stone, everyone was wondering how Stefan was going to get back, because we knew that Stefan couldn't just be dead. We then find out that, because the stone was destroyed, every single vampire that was inside that stone got back to life, but with a twist, they weren't in their own bodies. Instead, they could end up in anyones body (as long as they were dead, I think) and so, as you can imagine, things didn't get well for Stefan. Stefan ended up in an human body and a serial killer vampire ended up inside Stefan's actual body.

But, Stefan didn't get inside any human body, he got inside the body of a drunk guy and that had just caused a massive car accident and so, he ends up running from the Police. Besides that, just like Jo, since Stefan wasn't inside his own body, he would start dying and he basically just had 3 days to get back to his own body, the thing is, the vampire that was inside Stefan's body, was enjoying it too much and I guess he just wasn't going to give up on that body (I still don't really know how that body thing works so I might have some things messed up, I'm sorry about that) so, when Damon was going to get Stefan back, the vampire that was inside Stefan's body just ran away and they find out later in the episode that he got back to the place were he used to kill before he was turned a vampire.

The best part of the episode, and the worst, was seeing Stefan struggle inside the human body. Besides being chased by the police, he was also hurt and he ended up stuck in a roadway while it was snowing but like heavly snowing. He was basically dying and seeing him so hurt was killing me, I felt so bad for him. And then, when Damon finally got to him it was also pretty sad and, as much as I'm linking this brother storyline, it hurts me to see them like that, mad at each other.

So, yeah, the episode was basically that. I kind of miss Bonnie in this last couple of episodes and, since we found out that Kat is leaving TVD in the end of Season 8... I wish we had more scenes with her. But I've seen some pictures and we are going to have some Bonenzo in the next episode! I seriously can't wait for that!

And, since I just can't not talk about The Originals (I hope you guys don't mind me talking a few bits about The Originals on TVD rants), here's a few things that I loved in this weeks episode; Well, it was basically everything! Just like TVD's episode, this week's The Originals episode was also pretty intense and I'm loving this new Lucien storyline. I mean, it has been his storyline since the beggining, from what we found out in this episode, but now it's more about him and I'm loving it! I Love Lucien and I just don't care that I might be the only one! Also, Kolvina was pretty cute in this episode and even thought it was kind of messy I'm loving the fact that it's not all 'rainbows and butterflies', I like me some drama!

Ok, that's it guys! I seriously can't wait for the next episodes and I just can't believe that the season is almost ending!

Anyways, let me know your thoughts about this episode (you can also tell me what you thought about The Oringals' episode) and I'll see you next with, hopefully, a new Arrow rant.

Love,

Daniela.

The Vampire Diaries | Season 7 Episode 15 - "I Would for You"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello! I know... I'm a little bit late with this update but, since there won't be a new episode in the next 3 weeks (which is pretty sad) I thought there wouldn't be a problem with updating a little bit later. I also know that you might want to know my opinion about the episode as soon as it airs but, for that, I live tweet every Friday so, if you want to keep up with my thoughts in real time, you should follow me on Twitter @danixinhahhh and live tweet with me, I would love to live tweet with you and share opinions!

Anyway, so... Unfortunatelly, this wasn't another crossover (I'm still going to mention The Originals in the end of the post, because I can't cointain myself) but it was still a pretty good episode and I feel like it's going to be even better from now on, but about that, I'll talk later.

This episode was all about trying to stop Rayna. Obviously, Stefan couldn't do it so instead, Valerie and him went after more of those herbs that Freya gave him because the ones that he had were finished already.

Meanwhile, Damon tries to kill Rayna, but with no luck, she just kept going back to life. That's when Bonnie tells Damon that the armory was keeping the eight people that gave their life so that Rayna could live longer and that just 3 of those people were still 'alive', if we can say that.

Right in that moment, Damon kills Rayna one and another time. Now, he just had to kill her one last time and she would be dead for good and Stefan would be 'free'. Well, that's when things got tricky. 

Enzo than informs Bonnie that Damon can't kill Rayna 'for good' because if he does, everyone that is marked with the X will die also, and that includes Stefan.

To be honest, I just hated that 'storyline'. Seriously, now that Stefan was free from Klaus, they make him 'linked' to Rayna. They just can't leave him alone, can't they?!

Anyways... Of course Damon doesn't kill her and Stefan just keeps on the run. He talks with Caroline asking her about going away with him but, as we expected, she doesn't want to leave Ric and the babies so Stefan just moves on with his life and, well... I guess that's how he ends up with Valerie.

We still don't know much about how Caroline ended up married to Alaric or how Stefan got back with Valerie, but I guess we'll find out in the next episode... In 3 weeks!

Also, a big part of this episode was Matt and that we figured it out! How he ended up 'working' with Rayna. So, Matt kind of expels Stefan and every vampire in Mystic Falls. 

Oh, and let's not forget about Damon shutting himself in a coffin and, of course, the scene betweetn him and Bonnie, which was super duper cute! I mean, it was kind of sad, it actually made me cry but... it was cute at the same time.

And, from that, we go to the flashforward!

Basically we see every flashforward that was presented to us in the previous episodes. We see Matt kidnapping Stefan for Rayna, we see Damon going after Rayna, we basically see everything and now everything makes sense. Also, we see Rayna telling Stefan that he doesn't want to kill him and that he can pass the mark to someone else, but that someone else must be Damon because that's him who deserves it. Of course, Stefan tells her no but that's when Damon shows up and tells him it was his idea, and that's basically how the episode ends.

I'm guessing what we are going to see from now on are already after the 3 years time, even thought I'm still super curious to know how Bonnie and Enzo are going to end up together. I guess we'll see some flashbacks, then. You see, this is why I said it's going to be even better from now on. We are going to see how everything turned out to be like it is now and this storyline between Damon is Stefan is so much more interesting! I seriously can't wait for the next episode!

And, like I said before, I had to mention a bit of The Originals, because this episode was also amazing! First of all, we got to understand why Caroline didn't find Klaus in New Orleans in three years time (or well, I think I understood... They might make a plot twist) and besides that... lots of Kolvina moments! Ok, I'm going to stop here because if I start talking about Kolvina and Kol I might not stop! I'm just going to say this, I'm so glad Nathaniel Buzolic is back! Ok, That's it!

So, I hope you guys liked this rant and again, I'm sorry about the delay.

Tell me your thoughts in the comments (you might also talk about The Originals, I don't mind) and I'll see you with a new TVD rant in three weeks.

Love,

Daniela.

The Originals | Season 3 Episode 14 - "A Streetcar Named Desire"

Spoiler Alert!

So, here's the second part rant of the crossover and, I might say, the most exciting one!

In this second part, we don't focus so much on Rayna Cruz. Instead, the focus is the prophecy, afterall, this is still an The Originals episode.

Let's just say that, Aya and Aurora keep going with their plan and this is the episode where everything goes down.

Obviously, Davina is helping The Strix, afterall, she wants Kol back and this is the only way. 

Luckly, Stefan Salvatore is in town and it's basically because of him that everything works out fine in the end. Klaus helps Stefan and Stefan helps Klaus. 

This was pretty interesting to see because, like I said in my previous rant, I kind of missed them together, even thought I didn't know I liked them together so much.

So, it turns out that Freya makes a kind of spell to hide Stefan's mark from Rayna Cruz, but a lot is going on with The Mikaelsons and with The Strix and Elijah and Klaus end up in an 'imaginary world' with Aurora and Tristan, while The Strix and it's coven work on the spell to break the sirelines. 

Hayley then finds Lucien (finally Lucien is back in the game! I really missed him!) locked up and then brings him to the Mikaelson Mansion. There, Lucien and Marcel discuss bout the sireline and if things go wrong, they will end up dying, and that's when Stefan joins them, afterall, he's part of Klaus sireline as well. 

This was one of my favourite scenes because Stefan has always been my favourite and, in this season of The Originals, I've been liking a lot Lucien, so I was really excited to see a scene with both of them. 

Anyways, with Stefan's help, they work out a plan! Since Rayna Cruz is after Stefan, they decide to break into the The Strix's 'mansion' and then there Stefan makes his mark visible again, so Rayna Cruz goes after him.

The plan ends up working, but not everything ends well. They are able to stop from breaking Elijah's sireline but not Klaus and so, now Marcel, Lucien, Stefan and every other vampire that was part of Klaus' sireline, is now free!

And, after that, after realising that, Stefan leaves, which made me really sad because I was really enjoying this crossover, but not before Klaus says some words to him. Klaus tells Stefan to take care of Caroline (or something along those lines) and Stefan tells him the same thing but about Hayley, which was kind of cute and funny at the same time, since Phoebe Tonkin is Paul Weasley's real girlfriend.

Anyways... The episode was about to end when...

We see Davina doing the spell to bring back Kol, and...

KOL IS BACK!

I'm sorry about the Caps Lock but, you know I'm a huge Kolvina shipper and, to be honest, I thought they were going to drag this Kol story for the rest of the season, since Nate is in other show but... I guess I was wrong! And I'm so glad I was wrong because Kolvina is finally happening for real!

I'm just so damn excited for the next episode!

Please, tell me I'm not the only one so happy about all of this! Let me know all your thoughts in the comments!

Unfortunetely, this crossover is, well, over, so I probably won't talk much about The Originals but, if you would like to see more TO rant, tell me because I would love to make them, seriously, I would love!

Tell me everything in the comments.

Love,

Daniela.
