Legends of Tomorrow | Season 3 Episode 8 - "Crisis on Earth-X, Part 4"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone and here it is the fourth and final part of the biggest (and best) DCTV crossover!
Oh my god, this episode! This might have not been better that the previous part but it was for sure just as good.
I have to say that this episode was such a rollercoaster, full of emotions and, just like with the other parts, I have a lot to say so let's just get onto it.
Like it was expected, this is the episode where all the other Legends come in action. Ray appears and saves not only Kara but also Iris and Felicity while Nate releases everyone from the pipeline.
Meanwhile, on Earth-X, what I predicted was kind of what happened. Stein wasn't really dead and he is, indeed, able to activate the portal before succumbing to his injuries. That's when Jax approaches him and they 'merge' but, instead of like 'curing' Stein, it only made him live for a little longer. 
They are able to go through the portal and get back to Earth-1. That's when a little bit of each team faces the Metallo while Felicity and Kara are caught by Dark Arrow while trying to get to the Waverider. Dark Arrow is about to kill Felicity but that's when Oliver appears with Dark Supergirl and also threats to kill her, that's when the Reverse Flash appears and 'rescues' both Dark Arrow and Dark Supergirl, taking them to their own Waverider (which I can't remember the name).
Leaving STAR Labs, all the members from each team gather on the Waverider, where they try to cure Stein, but with no luck, only his connectionto Jax keeping him alive, but barely, slowly killing them both. 
After that, the saddest scene in this crossover (and probably the saddes on Legends) happens. In order to save Jax, Stein takes the serum that Cisco developed, cutting Jax and Stein's connection. And without the connection, Stein ends up dying.
Although we already knew that Victor Garber was going to leave the show, it was still sad, very sad, and when Jax delivered the news to Lily and Clarissa it was even more sad. But that, brough even more purpose to their 'fight' and that's what motivated them for what happened next.
They find out that Dark Supergirl not only is dying but, when she does, she will 'explode' and create some type of Supernova so, not only they have to stop the Nazis, but also make sure Dark Supergirl doesn't die in the planet. And that's when the big fight happen.
This was probably the biggest fight we ever had on the four shows and it was amazing! Most of it was done with Special Effects so props to the SFX Team because it was great! I can actually imagine all the work you had (I myself did some 3D projects and I know how much work it's put into that) so it was absolutelly amazing!
In this fight we basically see each character fight their doppelganger so Oliver against Dark Arrow, Supergirl against Dark Supergirl and Barry against Reverse Flash. Barry is the only one not killing his enemy but I can understand that. Not only it isn't part of Barry's character but it would probably also mess the timeline so, it was better this way.
Apart from that, they got to distroy the Waverider from Earth-X and Supergirl took Dark Supergirl to space and the latter died there. Oh and yeah, Oliver did kill his doppelganger.
In the end, Ray got back to Earth-X, while Snart chose to stay (I'm curious about that, though), they attend Martin's funeral, the legends get back to their work and Kara and Alex get back to their Earth.
And, the very end, my favourite part!
Remember me complaining about Diggle? Well, we did get Diggle in the end (I would be mad if we didn't) just marry Iris and Barry right in that moment and, as Diggle is about to say they were married... Felicity says she wants to marry Oliver as well! Heck, she even asks Oliver to marry her, which was so cute! And yes, they marry right there, along with Barry and Iris and, although I wanted like a big wedding, both of the couples kind of already have a wedding party and such so, it was beautiful nonetheless and it was just so sweet that both Barry and Oliver got married in the same day! I just loved it! And, once again, I would be mad if by the end of the crossover Felicity and Oliver didn't, at least, get engaged so, I was even happier when they got married!
It was an happy ending for such an amazing crossover!
So, my last thoughts on the whole crossover:
Loved the fact that we had Winn and Diggle (the ones that I was more afraid we wouldn't get) still, we didn't have Winn like I wanted to have him. We didn't have Mon-El, which I really wanted as well, I'm dying to have Chris Wood and Grant Gustin interact more. I wanted a little bit more of Black Canary in this, we barely saw Team Arrow, though. But I loved everything with Barry and Oliver together and, most of all, Olicity was strong in this crossover so, thank you writers for that! 
Overall, I don't think they will ever be able to top off this year's crossover but I'll be waiting. As long as I have Barry and Oliver together, it's fine by me. I just love them together! Now, I just can't wait to see everyones reactions to Olicity being married as well and WestAllen (but mostly Olicity).
I'm sad it ended but next week we will have more, not togehter though, of each show so, I'm excited for that! It's the mid-season finales so, don't miss them!
Let me know all your thoughts on the episode, I would love to know everything and I'll see you Friday with a new Supernatural rant (actually, I'm going to live tweet tomorrow so @danixinhahhh if you want to live tweet with me).
Love,
Daniela.

Supergirl | Season 3 Episode 8 - "Crisis on Earth-X, Part 1"


Spoiler Alert!

Ok guys, prepare yourself, because I have a lot to talk about!
Hey everyone and welcome to the first part of the big DCTV crossover!
You have no idea how I excited I've been about this crossover! I mean, I'm always excited for this big crossovers so expect like tons of talking, starting out with a little critique.
This episode is supposed to be a Supergirl one, right? I know that, specially this crossover, isn't meant to have a proper series but there's still people that don't watch all four series so, to them, this is a Supergirl episode and, in my opinion, for a Supergirl episode, this had like basically no Supergirl characters, only Kara and Alex. Ok, we had James in the very beginning of the episode, but only that. I was expecting to see a lot more of Winn, Mon-El and J'onn. We still got to see them, that's right, but I wanted them to be part of the fighting and all and, mostly, I wanted to see two things - all the geek team (Felicity, Cisco and Winn) because Winn wasn't in the last big crossover, and I wanted to see Grant Gustin and Chris Wood act together. I know they did the Duet episode, but they barely interacted there, so I wanted more action. I think at least J'onn is still going to be part of the team but, I don't know.
Anyway so, I didn't see any previews before this so I had no idea what they were going to be up against. I supposed it was going to be something about something happen in Earth-X, since it is the name of the episode, and that's it. In that, I was right and, we find out that basically in Earth-X, a Nazi regime rule the planet where a Dark Arrow hunts the Americans loyalists.
They made like a 'big reveal' in the end of the episode about who was under the mask, both the Dark Arrow and the 'Dark Supergirl' but it was pretty obvious, right away, that it was Oliver and Kara. The only thing that I wasn't expecting, and I'm stepping a little ahead, was Harry being the Reverse Flash, that was surprising.
We also already knew that the episode was going to be about Barry and Iris' wedding and that was also what happened.
Actually, most of the episode was just getting ready for the wedding and all that stuff and it had quite some moments! I can't go deep in every one of them, but I have to mention some. First, Barry and Oliver's 'moment' while trying the suits was quite something! I always love to see them interact and, to be honest, they're the main reason why I watch/love this crossovers - I just love Oliver and Barry 'together'. I guess that's because they have such different personalities and that works so well! Seriously, I love it!
Then, I have to talk about the Sara and Alex thing. I just knew that was going to happen! I don't know... I just could see them getting along and since they're both lesbians (I mean, Sara is bi but yeah) I just had a feeling something was going to happen between them. And it was so funny!
And lastly, I have to talk about the 'not so good' Oliver proposal to Felicity. That made me sad! You know I'm an huge Olicity shipper and I even said in my last Arrow rant that I just wanted them to marry in this episode too so I really wanted Felicity to say yes. And, because of that, I feel like she's hidding something. I don't know what... Maybe she's married to someone else?! Is she married to Ray?! I mean, that's the only thing I can think about... Something tells me that we are going to find out soon so, let's see!
Oh, and just one last little thing - loved that Kara sang Barry's song! I mean, I would so much prefer Barry/Grant to sing it but still, I love that song and it was such a nice touch.
Of course then something had to happen and the Dark Arrow and Dark Supergirl invade Barry's wedding and they end up not marrying (which I kind of liked it, to be honest).
The Dark Arrow and 'his Team' have then to retreat after Supergirl injured Dark Supergirl and our team capturing Prometheus, which got me so excited! I really wanted this Prometheus to be Adrian/Josh Segarra but I kind of saw a spoiler earlier and I think it's Tommy so... That is kind of sad. Still, that was my theory last season so, does this count like I'm right?! 
And well, I guess that was it for this episode. This has barelly started to I expect really cool things in the next episodes!
The next one is going to be the Arrow one so I hope I get to see a few more Arrow characters like Diggle, Black Canary and Curtis. I mean, I've seen in the promo pictures that Dinah, Curtis and Rene are there so, I just want Diggle to be there too (although I don't think so).
So, expect a new rant really soon!
Love,
Daniela.

The Flash | Season 3 Episode 17 - "Duet"


Spoiler Alert!

And here it is! The second part of this iconic crossover!
Seriously, I've never seen a crossover like this! Super happy/proud of The Flash for doing this!
Now, analyzing the actual crossover... Basically everything about it was beautiful! It had the feel of a musical without being completely different from the usual The Flash episodes, which I think was great. They could have completely lost the feel of The Flash but the didn't. And I think this is a reason why they didn't do the musical crossover with Arrow, because Arrow doesn't have the feel/mood for a musical crossover. The Flash and Supergirl are a lot more light-hearted and Arrow is a bit more dark, although I would love to see some of the Arrow cast sing. We kind of had a little bit, because Malcolm was in this episode! He loves to sing so he had to be in the crossover.
Anyway, although the episode had a lot of good things, it was a little bit down on some parts for me, like I didn't see Chris Wood sing, which I was really hoping for, also I didn't have enough Chris/Grant screen time, which was also a bummer and obviously, the two ships that I don't ship also got back in this episode. Besides, I just realized that Julian wasn't in the episode... And Tom Felton also sings so, he should've been in this episode. But again, a lot more other characters didn't sing like Caitlin or Wally... Really wanted all the characters to sing though, but what we had was good enough, I think.
In terms of storyline, they were also really cleaver! They didn't just put some random musical bits in an episode, it wouldn't make sense. Instead, they got Barry and Iris in an 'universe' inside their heads that was a musical, so obviously they had to sing and all. When I first realized that, I thought that it was going to be just Barry and Kara singing but, thankfully, the other actors/characters where in this musical also, but in a different character, that's why I've read somewhere that Chris Wood and Candice Patton were going to be a couple in this episode, and I thought that was just weird, but it actually made sense and I was so glad they did what they did.
It was, for sure, really weird to see 'Iris' and 'Mon-El' 'dating' but it was different. But the best part really was seeing Barry and Kara's faces, that was so much fun.
Also, the villain in this episode wasn't really a villain and I loved it! It was also really cool to have Darren Criss in The Flash and have like a little Glee reunion with Darren, Grant and Melissa. Loved it!
But I must say, it was the cheesiest episode I've ever seen! Seriously, there were so many cheesy moments in this episode, mostly the last scene. Sure I loved it, and I'm a sucker for romance, although I don't ship West-Allen, but that last scene, was just beautiful! I will for sure be listening to that song on repeat! Love Grant's voice!
Oh, and before I end this rant, I can't forget to mention Winn and Cisco singing!! I knew that both of them were great singers but damn that was really good! I just wish they had met like 'in real life' because Winn even said in the Supergirl part of the crossover that Cisco and him would be great friends so, I would've love to see that.
And yeah, that's basically it guys. I know I didn't say much storywise but basically they were trapped in a musical and they had to follow the script in order to get out of there. It wasn't a major plot but it was good enough for this episode and I loved it!
I'll be waiting for your thoughts on this crossover and, out of curiosity, tell whish was your favourite duet/song in the episode, mine was, for sure, the last song, that Barry sang to Iris, that was just beautiful!
Anyway, that's it for today guys.
I'll see you, hopefully, tomorrow with a new Arrow rant!
Love,
Daniela.

Supergirl | Season 2 Episode 16 - "Star-Crossed"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys and here it is a special rant for you - a Supergirl rant!
It's been exactly 8 episodes since my last Supergirl rant, which was the super crossover between Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow and, me being here with a new Supergirl rant means what?! Exactly, a new crossover! And this one I've been so excited for!
You know I'm a sucker for having all my favourite superheroes shows together and, all of them being part of The CW is amazing, which means I can have a crossover every once in a while.
This time it isn't a crossover as big as the last one, but this is huge because it is a music crossover with The Flash! Not only I love musicals but I also have been dying to have Chris Wood and Grant Gustin in the same episode and being a musical episode makes it even better because both of them studied in the same university and both majored in music theater so this crossover is going to be amazing!
And I say it's going to be because this episode of Supergil, just like in the previous crossover, didn't have much interaction with The Flash, only a little hint in the beginning and then the end, which makes the bridge (literally) to The Flash episode (which I'm going to rant next).
Still, since this is part of the crossover, I've decided to rant about it anyway and I kind of chose a good episode because this episode was all about Mon-El.
In this episode we finally find out 'the truth' about Mon-El. They have been teasing us about him for a couple of episodes now but last episode had like a big scene in the end which was obvious that this episode was going to reveal everything. Also, I don't know how no one ever thought this but it was kind of obvious that Mon-El was the prince... Ever since that episode where someone is showing a picture of Mon-El in that other planet I thought that he was the prince and, guess what? I was right.
Obviously Kara didn't like this and the fact that Mon-El lied to her.
This was actually good for me because I don't ship Karamel. I like Mon-El but I don't ship him with Kara so this episode was also great because of that.
Needless to say that by the end of the episode she breaks up with him which, once again, I didn't mind at all. I just don't know how this is going to bring Mon-El to Central City but I know that he is in The Flash episode so... Let's see.
Meanwhile, my favourite part of the episode, I must say, Win.
I love Win and his relationship with Lyra is just too cute. Unfortunately, things happen in this episode.
Both of them break into a Museum which leads to Win bein arrested.
He then finds out that Lyra stole a painting at the museum and that was the real reason why she wanted to go there.
Luckily, who arrested him was Maggie, so Alex pulled some strings and Maggie gave them 24 hours to prove Winn's innocence.
That's when they go after Lyra, capture her and she tells the that she did it because her brother, Bastian, owes a large debt to a smuggler named Mandrax and that the painting is to free Bastian.
Obviously they then come up with a plan to not only free Bastian but also catch Mandrax since he's been on the run.
Needless to say that they do all of that and in the end Winn forgives Lyra for lying to him, which is just so cute!
And then comes the bridge for The Flash's episode.
The DEO captures a new alien, who hypnotizes Kara and escapes to Earth-1 to fight Barry.
This is how he get into our musical episode.
Seriously, I can't wait to watch The Flash episode. In fact, I'm going right away watch it so... I hope you guys liked this 'special' and I'll see you in a few hours with the second part of this crossover.
Love,
Daniela.

The Flash | Season 3 Episode 16 - "Into the Speed Force"


Spoiler Alert!

Once again, a little late with this rant so, let's not take too long and start talking about the episode right away!
To me, this episode was a little bit meh... Overall, not much happened. Yes, we went to the speed force and yes, we saw a lot of 'old' characters but... It wasn't that special!
And, since we are talking about those characters, I want to say that I was a little disappointed with that. They told us that we were going to have Ronnie and Snart back for an episode but... This weren't even them! It was the 'speed force' talking to Barry through their bodies so, it was disappointing. Although, if this really was Ronnie, there would be a chance for Jaitlin not happening so... I didn't want that either so I think it's 'kind of' fine...
Anyway so, was you can see, this episode was basically all spent either in the speed force of about the speed force.
Oh, and something that I forgot to mention earlier, Eddie was also in this episode! Well, the speed force talking through Eddie... But, for a moment, I forgot that the speed force did that and I actually thought it was Eddie, which made me think that my theory that Eddie is Savitar was wrong... well, turns out, Eddie might still be Savitar and I will support my theory until they prove me wrong. And well, when it comes to The Flash, I also predicted that Julian was Alchemy so... I'm going to stick with my theory for now.
Ok, back to the episode...
So, once again, the speed force tries to give Barry a lesson and, this time, is about understanding true sacrifice and that he must be the one to save Iris in the future. Which leads to the very last scene of the episode (I know, I'm jumping too much ahead) where Barry basically 'breaks up' with Iris. Needless to say that I was completely okay with that, since I don't like West-Allen.
And yes, as you can see, Barry does get out of the speed force, with Wally, but something has always to happen, obviously. So, Jay Garrick had to go and basically 'save' Barry but someone had to take Wally's place in the 'prison' that he was in so yes, Jay Garrick ends up taking Wally's place. I hope they come back there to save him though... Let's hope so!
Meanwhile, because it wasn't all but the speed force, the team also tries to find Savitar, since he's now on Earth.
Basically Jesse goes after him and she does find him and, with H.R.'s help, she managed to wound him through a weak point in his armor. Unfortunatelly, Savitar escaped but this was really important because now we know that Savitar isn't really a god. He's just a 'normal' guy (or girl) under the armour so... Yes, it can be Eddie so.. Let's see!
And yeah, that's basically it guys.
As you can see, now much happened. I like when we have more of the main villain in the episodes, in this case Savitar, and he wasn't really in it so I thought this was kind of a weak episode. Besides, we didn't really have much ships in it either (and when I say ships I mean Jailtin) althought, we did have the 'break up'  (for now) of West-Allen so... Yeah...
Next episode is going to be a good one! It's the music crossover with Supergirl so I'm super excited! I'm going to see Chris Wood and Grant Gustin singing together! I've been waiting for thi for ages! Seriously, can't wait! Also, this means that there's going to be a special Supergirl rant in the blog so, stay tuned for that!
That's all for now.
I'll talk to you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Vampire Diaries | Season 8 Episode 15 - "We're Planning a June Wedding"


Spoiler Alert!

Here we are, with the penultimate TVD rant... 
You don't even know how much this pains me to say. I grew up with this show and knowing that it is ending... It leaves me so sad. 
But we still have one episode left, so I'll save all the cheesy things for the last rant. Now, let's talk about last night's episode.
I have to say that it was kind of disappointing to me. Not that it was bad, because it wasn't, and it had such a surprising ending, but I felt a little betrayed. I'm just going to get this out of the way...
Basically we didn't really have Katherine back... Supposedly she is back, but she didn't appear in the episode, so I felt a little betrayed about that because I really wanted to see Nina Dobrev as Katherine. Hopefully, we will see her as Katherine in the last episode. Let's pray.
Apart from that, it was a good episode. Not as good as the last one, at least, not to me. Maybe it was because we didn't have more Kai in this episode or it was because this episode was basically all about Steroline, and you know how I feel about Steroline.
We also have Kelly Donovan, Matt's mum, back, who says that wants to be a better mum to him but we soon realize that she's working with/for Katherine after dying two years ago. And then, we move on to the main plot of the episode - Steroline Wedding - in a way to lure Katherine out. 
Apart from that, Stefan and Damon also make a weapon made of Katherine's bones, just like the weapon that killed Cade, to try and kill her as soon as she's out of hell.
Meanwhile, we also have a lot of dram between Bonnie and Caroline, because Bonnie is still mad with Stefan and she tells Caroline that she can't be at the wedding. Bu after talking to Enzo, she ended up going, which I knew had to happen. Bonnie couldn't miss Caroline's Wedding, even if it's a 'kind of' fake wedding.
And, since we are already in this topic, I have a lot strong opinions about how Bonnie is acting. Don't get me wrong, I completely understand why she's acting like this, and I know she's the character that have been through the worst stuff, always sacrificing herself but... C'mon! If she can forgive Damon she can also forgive Stefan. I know that Stefan killed the love of ther life but still... Stefan is human now and she knows that it wasn't really Stefan and that Stefan isn't like this so... She should forgive him...
Anyway, back to the wedding...
Even before the wedding starts, Kelly slits Peter's throat in an attempt to get the dagger from him.
Then, they move on to the actual wedding and, everyone is waiting for Katherine to arrive but... She never does. So Stefan and Caroline really keep going with it and get actually married.
I don't know how I feel about this.
I know most people must have loved it but... I don't like Steroline and, somehow, this doesn't seem real to me. Maybe I'm just in denial, but something tells me that something else is going to happen in the last episode and they won' be together. Ultimately, everyone wants Klaroline and wants Caroline in The Originals so... Hopefully Steroline won't be endgame. Besides, I still think that Stefan is going to die in the end so... Although, this episode gave a lot of hints that it's Damon who's going to die in the end.
I don't know... There's so many theories out there! The truth is, Damon's death would be really unexpected, and some people said that it's one of the brothers who's going to die. But, there's still some people that think that's Bonnie who's going to die but... I don't know, I'm really confused about this...
Back to the episode...
During the reception, Bonnie and the twins go to the Lockwood House to go to the bathroom, meanwhile, at the actual 'venue' of the reception, Kelly interrupts Damon's speech saying that she started a gas leak at the Lockwood House.
Suddenly, the fire starts and there's kind of an explosion.
That was one of the most horrifing moments! I was really concerned about Bonnie and the twins! By now, we don't really know what the writers are going to do so, anything can happen.
Luckily, the twins siphon magic from Bonnie and the three of them use their powers to get out of there, making Bonnie loose her connection with Enzo in the process.
In the very end, Kelly reveals Katherine's true plan and that was such a plot twist to me! Never thought this would happen!
Turns out Kelly, and that fire, was just to distract them, while Katherine ressurected Vicki Donovan to go and ring the Maxwell bell and bring hellfire to Mystic Falls. In this moment, we see Vicki starting to ring the bell while both Bonnie and Kelly fall on the ground, with their nose bleeding, making everyone think they're dying.
To be honest, I don't think Bonnie is really dead. First, it wouldn't make sense her to die just like that; Second, it would be just wrong for Bonnie's character and Third, Bonnie is in the stills of the last episode so... She's definitely not dead. At least, not yet... We'll see in the last episode.
And I guess that's it... Overall, this was kind of a pointless episode... I think they just did it to make the Steroline fans happy and to make that 'June Wedding' that everyone have been talking about but yeah, it was nice, not just that exciting.
Next TVD rant is going to be the last one and I'm just not okay with that.
Also, I would like to tell you guys that next week I won't be live tweeting. Instead, I'm going to film a video reacting to the episode, which is going up on my channel either Saturday or Sunday so... This week was my last time live tweeting during TVD, which is so sad...
It's going to be so emotional.
Let's see what happens.
I'll see you next week with the very last TVD rant.
Love,
Daniela.

The Vampire Diaries | Season 8 Episode 14 - "It's Been a Hell of a Ride"


Spoiler Alert!

So, like promised, here I am with the TVD rant.
I took a bit longer with this one because lately I've been wanting to watch TVD's episodes twice and I was only able to rewatch it tonight, so that's why. But what matters is that the rant is here, so let's get on to it.
Just like this past episodes, this one was another amazing episode! But, with Kai, what would you expect?!
I think I don't need to say this but my favourite part of this episode, once again, was Kai. Unfortunately, this time he didn't have as much scenes and in the previous episode, still they were pretty important and, that last scene, that will talk about later, was epic!
Anyway, we start the episode fiding out what Kai did in the end of last week's episode. Turns out, Kai gave Elena to Cade for some odd reason that I didn't quite understand. This way, Cade basically 'black mails' Damon. Since Damon is basically dying, Cade says that he lets him live and gives him Elena in exchange for the dagger that can kill him, which is with Kai.
To this, Damon and Stefan start working on a plan to get the dagger from Kai and then to give to Cade.
They do find Kai, because Kai has still been tweeting all this time and, I need to talk about this scene. Kai singing! Chris Wood finally sang on the show! I've been waiting for this moment since Season 6 and it finally happened! You don't know how happy I got when I saw that scene! Sure it wasn't the best singing, because I know Chris can sing a lot better but it was still so good to see him sing in the show! Finally Julie heard my prayers and did basically everything that I wanted to happen in season 6.
Anyway, back to the story...
Stefan finds Kai in the Karaoke bar and another part that I loved was Kai finding out about Stefan being human now, that was priceless!
So, Stefan and Damon eventually get Kai and the dagger and they lock him up at the Armory.
Keeping up with the Kai part of the story... I kind of predicted what happened. Caroline did go to Kai for help about the twins but they didn't do a deal or anything, instead, Kai just told Caroline that the reason why they were all over the place with their powers was because they were in the Armory and that Armory not only has a lot of magical things in there but, the actual walls are made of magic, to which Kai siphons that magic, breaks the glass of the room he was in and snaps Caroline's neck and goes after the twins.
The whole scene with him going after the twins was another great scene because it was basically a parallel to when he was after his brothers and Jo. Those scenes, once again, were priceless and this whole episode gave me a lot Kai feels, more than what I already have.
Meanwhile, back to the Cade storyline... Damon and Stefan are going to meet with Cade, but both of them have different plans. Damon plans to just give him the dagger in exchange for Elena, but Stefan planson killing him and ends up enjaction Damon with vervain because he isn't on board with his plan.
Right that moment I thought that was such a bad plan, but turns out, Stefan had an actually pretty good plan, because he had a conversation with Alaric ealier and, when Stefan was meeting with Cade, Alaric rang the Maxwell bell, and that affected Cade, making him weak and givin Stefan a chance to attack him. Unfortunatelly, something had to happen. The twins end up calling Alaric because Kai is after them so, obviously, Alaric just forgets about his 'deal' with Stefan and goes to 'save' his kids.
Obviously, Cade overpowers Stefan and, when he's about to kill him, Damon appears and says that he already has the dagger so he should let them go. Cade agrees, but with a twist. Damon must choose between Elena or Stefan, and set's Elena's coffin on fire.
Bonnie senses that something is wrong, have some visions of Elena's coffin on fire and just leaves to try and find them and what is happening with Elena.
In that moment, I must say, I wasn't worried one bit about Damon, Elena or Stefan. The truth is that they are all in the preview for the final episode, which meant none of them would die, so I was just hoping that Bonnie would get there on time and do something.
Unfortunatelly, she doesn't get there that early, and Damon ends up choosing himself and killing himself.
Then, we see Cade in his 'limbo' place, with Damon and that's when Bonnie arrives. So, now, I think that Damon is going to Bonnie's dimension, because, once again, he's going to be in the final episode, which means that he isn't really going to die. But that's not what happens. Instead, Stefan appears and kills Cade! Stefan freaking kills Cade! That I wasn't expecting at all! I still thought that we had to deal with Cade for one more episode but no, he died and I have to give some props to the special effects team because that scene with Cade dying was so good! Seriously, loved it!
Then, comes my least favourite part of the episode, which was Stefan re-proposing to Caroline, which she accepts. At this moment, there where only about 3 minutes for the episode to end so I thought that they had to have another scene, I big bang to end the episode with, and they did!
In the end, we see Bonnie trapping Kai in another prison world, which is kind of a bummer because I wanted an happy ending for Kai. Nonethelless, it was great because first, we had a Bonkai scene, which I needed, second, Kai isn't really dead, so this leaves the door open for them to bring him to The Originals or something and third, the big reveal at the end!
It turns out Hell isn't really gone and is in someonelse's hands. the myth, the legend, the baddest bitch of all - Katherine Pierce!
That was such a plot twist! I mean, I was really hoping to see Katherine but, Katherine being the one to rule Hell now?! Didn't expect that at all! Which is actually pretty good because I've been making so many theories and, although I like to be right, I like to be surprised as well, so this was really good!
Besides, Kai also said that he lost a bet, which I think was with Katherine and, you know what this means?! Kai and Katherine have been talking in hell! And, although I know we are not having a scene between Kai and Katherine in the actual episodes, I just wanted like a deleted scene of them talking in hell or like one of those videos like the one that Chris and Ian filmed about the Delena rain kiss and that they showed on Comic Con?! I would love to have one of those with Kai and Katherine! Please Julie Plec, make that happen!
Anyway... That's basically it guys. I'm really loving thise season and I just can't believe we are only having two more episodes. This leaves me so sad! I've been depressing so much about the ending of the series. I just know I'm going to be a mess when the series actually ends...But, until then, we still have two more episodes and two more rants so... Stay tuned for that!
Don't forget to let me know which are your thoughts and predictions for the last two episodes and I'll see you tomorrow with the very delayed Arrow rant.
Love,
Daniela.

The Vampire Diaries | Season 8 Episode 13 - "The Lies Will Catch Up with You"


Spoiler Alert!

Oh my god, this series have been crazy!
Seriously, this past three episodes (including this one), have left me shook! I swear, I haven't even been able to sleep wel after I watch the episodes!
Still, this one was a little bit more 'chill' than the previous ones, the only thing making this episode bomb was, obviously, my dear sweet little devil Malachai Parker!
This episode was basically all about Kai and, the it ended (and the preview) made it clear that we are going to have a lot more of Kai, at least, in the next episode. I bet we are going to have Kai until the very last episode because he's going to be the one to bring Elena back so... At least, Kai is going to be in the next two episodes (I'm almost 100% sure of that).
So, right in the beginning of the episode we learn that Kai came back just lik Cade did, when the Maxwell bell rang 11 times, and not because of Bonnie, which was what most of us (including me) were thinking. We also learn, through a Kai flashback, which I thought was pretty cool, that Kai isn't fully alive. We see in the flashback that he can't taste or feel anything, which means part of him is in the real world and another part is still in hell, and that's why he needs Damon and Alaric's help.
I knew that Kai wanted something. He wasn't just there to help kill Cade from the goodness of his heart. Obviously, Damon and Alaric don't really 'need' his help to kill Cade so Kai has to offer something else, so he says he'll bring Elena back, which makes Damon so much more interest in the offer.
Meanwhile, Caroline and Matt have to deal with something else. Because Stefan is now human, everyone that he ever compelled started remembering and so Caroline has to deal with those people. And this leads me to what happened to Stefan.
We find out in this episode that it was Dorian who kidnapped Stefan.
This was kind of a bummer for me. I was really expecting something big like what I said in my previous rant, Katherine. Instead, it was Dorian.
Turns out Dorian was one of those people that was compelled by Stefan years ago, when Stefan killed Dorian's entire family, so now Dorian basically wants revenge. 
Dorian ends up killing Stefan but, because he's a good person, and regrets and tries to save Stefan.
Stefan is about to die when Cade appears, in an out of body state and tells him that it's better for Caroline if he dies and such, but Stefan doesn't really want to die so he 'comes back to life' and Caroline, Dorian and Matt take him to the hospital.
In the hospital, Stefan tells Caroline that they don't really have a future now that he's human and basically breaks up with her. I think I don't need to say this but, I got really happy in this moment! I think you all know by now that I'm not a Steroline shipper and that I will forever ship Stefan with Elena, and now with both of them human, I would be thrilled to have a Stelena ending. Still, I don't think that's going to happen, but I'm already glad that (hopefully) Steroline isn't happening.
Back to my favourite part of the episode (aka Kai)...
Damon calls Bonnie to know how is she with the 'trying to get Enzo out of hell' plan and right away Bonnie notice something sketchy about the way Damon is acting. Damon tells her about bringing Elena back and Bonnie right away thinks that Damon can only need something for Kai, since Kai is the only one that can bring Elena back.
This scene with Damon in the car, with Kai, while he's talking on the phone with Bonnie was probably one of my favourite scenes this episode. This showed Kai's true character like really witty and clumsy and all that, and he even asked with Bonnie sounded like she missed him, which fulfilled my Bonkai heart.
I'm well aware that Bonkai won't probably ever happen, even more with what happened next, but this little 'Bonkai' moments leave me really happy and this is already enough for me.
So, what happened next... 
Since Bonnie couldn't really do anything, she went to Cade for help. In this moment I really agreed with Damon, such a bad idea. But, it was kind of good to finally find out what is really happening.
Turns out Bonnie neither got her powers back nor opened another door to hell. Instead, Bonnie created another dimension, just like Cade did, a dimension similar to hell but without all that fire and all those bad things, a Bonnie Bennett Dimention, where Enzo is! 
Bonnie finally talks to Enzo and, although this was such a cute moment, it wasn't as powerfull as I thought would be. Nonetheless, it was super helpful, because Enzo warned Bonnie about Cade and what he's trying to do. He was just trying to know where Enzo is because he was supposed to go to hell.
Cade then basically admits this and even adds that he can't access the dimension that Bonnie created, which is kind of good, it means he won't be able to reach Enzo. The down side, is that Cade reads Bonnie's mind and finds out about Kai being back. And, the way Cade talked about Kai, it could be just me, but it seemed like Kai was kind of 'famous' in hell. I wouldn't be surprised, to be honest, he is the baddest of them all so... You go Kai!
While all of this is happening with Bonnie and Cade, Kai and Damon have been killing bad people because, turns out, Kai was slipping away back to hell, so he thought that, if he killed bad people, just like Damon, he would be more on the 'real world' than in hell, so he convinces Damon to help him with that and turns out he kind of worked. 
And, I must talk about this... It was kind of weird to see Kai as a vampire. He was a vampire/heretic in the end of Season 6, but he didn't get much of that so now that he's back, it was a little weird to see him drink blood and all that. Still, I loved it. He's so powerfull now (even with one foot in hell). I also really liked the scene where he was on twitter and taking selfies... That is my Kai!
Anyway, after Cade finding out that Kai might be back, Bonnie calls Damon and tells him that, to which he tells Kai, leaving Kai really afraid. And this was the moment that I realized that Cade is seriously really bad... If even Kai is afraid of him, he must be really bad.
So, Kai is afraid, so Damon comes up with another idea - Kai needs to redeem himself, and which better way than getting Elena back so Damon forgives him?!
They then go to Elena's casket and that's when Kai stabs Damon, siphons his 'magic' and tells him that he doesn't believe in redemption. He then cloakes himself and Elena's casket and leaves, while Damon stays there, desiccating.
I wanted to feel bad for Damon and afraid for him but... I just can't. I'm actually really happy that Kai did that because that's who he is! Kai is bad and he does what he needs to do to survive and he doesn't really care about anyone else (apart from Bonnie, he cares a little bit for Bonnie). And, to be honest, I kind of agree with him. He is just insuring that Damon won't kill him. Of course Damon still had to deal with Cade but him and Alaric can still use that weapon that we saw in last week's episode, so after Kai got back Elena, they wouldn't need him anymore, so he's just insuring that he doesn't get killed.
To finish the episode, I need to talk about Alaric and the twins, because they are back and, first of all, Kai doesn't know about them and, when he does, he is for sure going to kill them. Second, it seems like they are more aware ofthe powers they have but can't control them, because one of them almost sets fire to the other with the Incendia spell.
And, since, we are already talking about this, let's get into some predictions.
So, about the twins, I predict that Caroline is going to try and talk to Kai for him to help them. He is still their uncle and he is the only siphon witch/warlock around, so he's the only one that can help them. I think that Caroline is going to try and make a deal with Kai like the helps the twins and Caroline won't make them merge in their 22nd aniversary, making Kai the lider of the Gemini coven, basically, forever.
In terms of the other characters, I stick to my predictions, just with a little twist. I don't think Bonnie is going to die and be a vampire anymore. I think she will want to die and be with Enzo forever in that dimension that she created.
Apart from that, I still think Stefan is going to sacrifice himself and let Damon take the cure from him so he can be with Elena forever.
And yes, I guess that's it guys. I hope this wasn't too long, but I had to talk about Kai. 
Anyway, let me know your thoughts about this episode and which are your predictions for the series finale.
Love,
Daniela.

The Vampire Diaries | Season 8 Episode 12 - "What Are You?"


Spoiler Alert!

Oh My God, The Vampire Diaries have seriously been steping up this last couple of episodes!
I don't know about you, but this episode, once again, left me on a rollercoaster of emotions!
Obviously we already knew this was going to be an hard episode since last week's one ended with huge twists, so that was what we had to deal with in this episode, plus some really good surprises at the end of the episode!
So, I think I'm going to start with Stefan.
From the previous we knew that Stefan was going to be arrested and all and, since now he's human, that is just a mess. Obviously there's still Damon and Caroline around that can fix this problem, which is what eventually happens. And, while I was watching the episode a second time (because yes, I had to watch it twice because of the twist that happens in the end) I started thinking that, how come we went from Matt being the only human around to basically just having Damon and Caroline as Vampires?! Seriously, this is really weird because now Bonnie, Stefan, Matt, Alaric, Elena and Dorian are the humans and we have Caroline and Damon as the Vampires (since Enzo died. I still think he's coming back but yeah)! It's just an huge twist!
Anyway so, like I said, Caroline goes and fixes the police issue but then another issue comes, Cade. Cade goes to Damon saying that now that Stefan is human he has no use to him and since the deal was for two immortal brothers, the deal is off, but (of course there's a but) Cade is going to kill Stefan and send him to hell unless Damon gives him an old book written buy one of Matt's ancestors. Obviously Damon doesn't think twice and goes get that book/journal. 
At the same time, Matt is dealing with some visions which we then find out that it's because of he's connection to the book. So, Alaric doesn't give Damon the journal, at least, not until they find out why Cade wants it. In order to find that, they hypnotize Matt and that's when we find out what really happened all those years ago. That Matt's ancestor and Bonnie's ancestor created the Maxwell bell and then encountered Sybil and Selene, who forced Matt's ancestor, Ethan, to ring the bell twelve times and send hellfire to the town, killing one hundred people. We also find out that Beatrice, Bonnie's ancestor, was the one to trap Seline and Sybil and the vault and that she also traped Ethan because he was under the siren's spell. And, it was while he was there that he wrote on the journal how to kill Cade. 
Matt then wakes up but, by that time, Damon already left with the journal, giving it to Cade.
Meanwhile all of this is happening, we also see how Bonnie is dealing with Enzo's death.
She doesn't want to talk to anyone so Caroline thought it would be good that call Bonnie's mum, and so she appears at Bonnies house. It was really nice to see her back because we didn't really get much of her so it was nice to see one more character back to this season.
Bonnie's mum helps her with grieving but that's when Bonnie tells her that Enzo has been calling out for her and that she need to help him. Somehow, they find out that Bonnie opened a door to hell and that she needs to close it. Bonnie passes out and so Bonnie's mum sets Enzo on fire, breaking the connection.
So, with this, we realize that those waves we saw in the end of last week's episode wasn't Bonnie getting her powers back but, instead, opening a door to hell, just like when Cade screamed when the village people first killed him, before we became 'the devil'.
Back to the main storyline, and getting to the best part, Damon then goes talk to Alaric, who his really pissed because Damon gave the journal to Cade. Damon tells Alaric that he read the ending of the journal and he knows how to kill the devil. So, they go into the vault and Damon shows him the weapon, the weapon that we earlier saw Ethan with. And, the best part!
While Alaric and Damon are making plans to kill the devil Kai appears and says he has a better idea!
Can you heard me screaming!?
That's right guys, my baby Kai is back and next episode is going to be all about him!
I've been waiting for this moment since the end of Season 6 and it finally happened!
I seriously can't wait for next episode!
The preview for next week looks so cool! With a lot of Kai in it and I'm sure, with a lot of plot twists because, something that I didn't mention earlier, also in the end of the episode, someone kidnaps Stefan! We don't really know who it is but, after watching the episode twice, and watchin the preview about 10 times, I can say it is either Katherine or Bonnie! It is clearly a girl, because the person his smaller than Stefan, so it can either be Bonnie, because she's pissed at Stefan, or Katherine, after getting out of hell just like Kai did.
So, yeah, a lot of mysteries for next episode!
And, about my predictions... A lot of things have been happening like, I said that in this episode we would be looking for a way to kill Cade, which we did, and that next episode Kai would appears, which is also happening. Ok, Bonnie didn't got her magic or it wasn't Enzo who talked to Kai but I said that Matt would be important in this, which he was! Also, in the end of this episode, Dorian wanted to talk with Alaric about something, which he ended up not talking because Damon showed up so, there's still a possibility that Dorian might be related to Cade so... Let's see.
Now, my theory that Bonnie brings Enzo back is a little bit shaky... With Kai's come back, I just thought that the writers could go on another route and make Bonkai happen! It's unlikely, but it can still happen.
In the preview we see Bonnie doing some type of magic or something so, maybe she did got a magic back and she might be trying to bring Enzo back?! Who knows...
But, we also saw in the preview that Kai said he's willing to bring Elena back so... My theory that Bonnie is going to become a vampire probably won't happen.
If she manages to brng Enzo back, she will still want to be with him, but with Elena awake, doubt she will want to be a vampire but, you never know. I'm going to stick to it because that's what I said from the beginning!
About Stefan... I still think he's going to be the one to die and I think my ending is really strong and highly possible so... Stick to it 100%!
And yeah... Now I just have a lot of questions about Kai. Like, What does he want? (because he's not willing to bring Elena back just from the goodness of his hear), from the preview it seems like he just wants to get away from hell, but lets see. Also, Have he been thinking about Bonnie all this time he was in hell? and Are we going to have a Bonkai ending?
Let's see what next episode brings.
Until then, let me know your thoughts and predictions about this weeks episode and how the series is going to end. I'm really curious about what you think is going to happen.
Hope you liked my predictions and I'll see you in my next rant.
Love,
Daniela.

The Vampire Diaries | Season 8 Episode 10 - "Nostalgia's a Bitch"


Spoiler Alert!

Ok, I know. I took way too long with this update, and I'm really sorry about that!
I don't want to get into that deep in my personal life, but you know when you just had a really busy week and then when you get everything done and you don't have anything else to do you just really wanna do nothing? Yeah, that was me last week. I was so busy two weeks ago with my university that last week I just wanted to relax. But, hopefully, I'll get back on track now and do everything that I have been leaving behind to do another day, starting with this rant!
I really wanted to watch this episode again but, like I said, I felt like I was posting this rant way too late already that I just couldn't wait longer so... here it is!
This was a really great episode, to be honest. One of my favourites so far, for sure! Mostly because of all the old character that we had in this episode, but I also really liked all the developing of the story and I feel like now we're going somewhere and are finally getting things done, since we just have 6 episodes left.
So, like I said in my previous TVD rant, this episode was all about Damon and basically the whole episode happened inside Damon's mind. 
I was really glad that Damon had finally locked up Sybil but, unfortunatelly, we had to free her. Bonnie and Caroline had to free her in order to help Damon come back to his senses. 
At first, Caroline tried to get inside his head but all she saw was fire and pain. So, she had to ask for Sybil's help so they get in through the 'back door' of his brain. But, of course, Sybil didn't do it for free, she wanted something in return - the belt, to which Caroline had to ask for Matt's help. Obviously, giving the fact that Matt and Damon aren't really that close, Matt didn't want to help.
Meanwhile, Stefan is killing all the vampire girls that he turned and that's when he goes back to the Salvatore House to get Damon. We then learn that, while he was 'dead', last episode when Caroline 'killed' him, he talked to Cade and Cade isn't really happy with Damon because he isn't really doing his part of the deal, so Stefan gets back to the house to get Damon to go 'back to work', and that's when he sees Damon in that state. Not happy with the situation, he then goes to get what Sybil wants.
When Stefan gets there, where Matt, Matt's dad and the bell are, his also met with Seline, who offers him another deal, which involves Matt ringing the bell twelve times in order to release hell on earth and kill everyone in Mystic Falls. Stefan agrees with that deal and compels Matt to do so, since he didn't want to do it.
Meanwhile, inside Damon's head, Caroline and Bonnie keep trying to find Damon. That's when we see a number of old characters. First, Vicky, which I didn't really like but it was still nice to see her. Then, Sheriff Forbes who had just the sweetest moment with Caroline. It was seriously so beautiful to see them talk again and... It was just really beautiful. Before Sheriff Forbes goes and starts torturing Caroline because she's a vampire. That's when Caroline talks about Damon and the fact that the forgave him for everything he did and that's the moment we realize that what Damon needs is people to forgive him... Or we think that's it. 
Right in that moment I think that it's Stefan, he needs Stefan to forgive him. It has always been about the brothers and it had to be in this moment.
Caroline gets out of Damon's mind, but Bonnie stays. That's when the most beautiful moment of the whole episode happens, Bonnie's Grandma appears! Seriously, I missed her so much! She died so early in the series and I remember so clearly crying a river when she died! So, it was really really nice to see her again. And, after that, Bonnie meets up with another old character, Tyler, and that's when she says that she also forgave Damon and gets out of his mind.
Tha's when they realize they need Stefan. Stefan then gets in his mind and we then find out that Damon doesn't need Stefan's forgiveness.... Damon needs Stefan to forgive him! Damon then wakes up and Stefan is locked up.
And then, the final scenes are also really powerfull, because I think that's what is going to make the story move from now on.
So, Matt rings the bell eleven times but, luckily, Damon gets there in time and stops him to ring another time, which stops hell from burning the town. However, it allows Cade to break through and come to the real world. And guess what's the first thing Cade does when he gets to the real world? Kill the sirens! Finally! Seriously, I was so freaking done with them, mostly with Sybil but yeah, I'm really glad we are over with them because, overall, not that they were that bad of villains but, it's the end of the series and we need to tie up loose ends so we can have a good ending of the series.
So, yeah, that's basically it guys.
I predict really good things from now on! I'm not saying that everything that's going to happen is going to be good, but I see some plot twists and stuff happening for sure and, one good thing for sure, Elena is going to be back in the series finale! That's right, Nina Dobrev confirmed last week that she's back so, it's going to be good! Also, we are going to have Kai back in one (or multiple) of the next few episodes and, although it's not really a good thing, I stick to my thought that Stefan is going to die at the end. People have been saying that one of the brothers is going to die, for sure, in the series finale and I still think it's Stefan so... Let me know which are your thoughts!
Until then...
Love,
Daniela.

The Vampire Diaries | Season 8 Episode 8 - "We Have History Together"


Spoiler Alert!

The Vampire Diaries is finally back from the winter break and with a pretty different episode, directed by Ian Somerhalder.
Like I said, I feel like this was a pretty different episode, at least, this season. We were 'used to' see Damon being the bad guy and, to be honest, I was starting to get pretty mad at him but this episode the whole thing changed and now Stefan is the bad guy and I actually really liked Damon in this episode.
So, the episode basically follows two storylines, Stefan and Damon and the annoying Sybil. I'm going to start with the Stefan and Damon one because I feel like it's way easier to explain.
As you can remember, in the end of episode 9, Stefan turned off his humanity so this means he's back to his old self. He's trying to control himself to not turn into the reaper, but let's just say that it doesn't really work out (but I'll talk more about that later). Anyway, Damon and Stefan go after people to give to Cade. Stefan chooses a doctor named Tara to turn her 'bad'. We learn that Tara lost her parents in a car crash because of a drunk driver. He then does a pretty messed up plan, compeling her to believe that Damon was that driver. She eventually gives into the darkness and kills Damon, not knowing that he isn't really dead. Later in the episode, Stefan then tells Damon it was all a plan to 'test' Damon. He chose Tara because he not just looked a lot like Elena, but also had a similar life. He also finds Elena's necklace that Damon have been keeping with himself this whole time. Stefan tells him that the necklace (and now Tara) are making him not be 'as bad as he would be' without his humanity and so makes him get rid of the necklace and kill Tara, which he does. But well, in the end, Damon gets back to where the through the necklace and gets it back, while Stefan is at the hospital and... just looses it. His plan to control himself and not turn into the reaper don't really work out and he ends up killing and decapitates everyone in that hospital. And that's pretty much where we end with the Stefan/Damon storyline. Now onto the Sybil storyline.
To begin with, I'm so done with her! Sybil is just an annoying b*tch and seriously, her storyline doesn't seem interesting anymore. Ok, we found a bunch of things in this episode but, comparing with the Cade/Damon/Stefan storyline, and keeping in mind we only have 8 more episodes, things should start happening or we should start to have some answers, which we kind of did in this episode.
Anyway, so in this part of the episode we see Caroline back at the Mystic Falls High School were she went to write an article or something. She then finds out that it was Sybil who 'sent her there' and also finds out that Sybil compeled everyone and is teaching History in the school. And that's when we start finding things out.
We then learn that Sybil's whole plan is to get a bell, a really old bell that she and Seline kind of made like years ago. That was also the part that I got really confused and made me re-watch episode. But after watching the episode twice and also watch some TVD aftershows, I think I got everything right so, here's what I understood:
A long long time ago (and back to Season 1) when the 100 witches were burned in Mystic Falls, both Sybil and Seline were there. One of Matt's ancestors was making a bell, a bell that the witches asked him to do. But, without the witches knowing, Sybil and Seline messed up 'the formula' of the bell. The bell was kept in Matt's family, at this time with his dad, but the Maxwell family was kind of rejected by the other founders family and Peter got really mad that they weren't accepting him and his family because he wasn't rich and just threw the bell on the river, at the Wickery Bridge. Later, Elena's parents had the accident there and, when the police was 'rescuing' the car, Caroline's mum found the bell and kept it with her. When she died, Caroline packed everything and put all the boxes in her garage and yeah, that's how the bell ended up in Caroline's garage.
I think I got everything right. But I must say, it was really hard for me to keep up with all of this. I think it's a good way to tie everything up like this last season to the very first season but I just think it's a lot to take in. 
Anyway, finding about that, Caroline and Sybil go to get the damn bell but, guess what? It isn't there! Turns out, Seline got it first and left a note for Sybil, taunting her. And yeah, that was basically it.
Not much happened in the episode. I think it was fine and it gaves us a lot of new information that are actually useful and explain a lot of what is happening, but nothing major happened.
I'm excited for next episodes because first, next episode is going to be a lot about Elena and, although I'm not her biggest fan, it's going to be nice to see some flashbacks, mostly of the Miss Mystic Falls, which is one of my favourite things from the first seasons. Second, it was confirmed that Vicki is going to be in episode 10 and again, although I never really liked her, it's going to be nice to see some old faces and besides, this might mean we are going to hell, which leads me to the third and best thing, Kai! That's right guys, Kai is almost 100% confirmed! Chris Wood a few weeks ago tweeted something about not being about to make it to a TVD convention because he was filming and he then added a little devil emojie and then, a few days ago, Julie also tweeted something about Kai possibly being in one (or more) episodes so, yes people Kai is totally going to be in this last season! You know Kai is my favourite character ever and I'm really really obsessed with him and with Chris Wood so, I just can't wait to see him! Because, if we are going to hell, Kai has to be there! There's no way Kai isn't in hell.
And yeah, that's it!
Hope you guys liked the rant and I'll see in later with a new Shadowhunters rant. 
Love,
Daniela.

The Flash | Season 3 Episode 8 - "Invasion!"


Spoiler Alert!

Omg, best crossover ever!
I know, the crossover barely started but this episode just made the crossover amazing already!
I love to see everyone together although I'm kind of sad they only brought Kara from Supergirl to the crossover, because I would love to see Felicity, Cisco and Winn working together. Besides, I would love to see Chris Wood and Grant Gustin working together because, if you don't know, they went to University together so it would be so cool to now have them working together. Anyway, we are still going to have that The Flash/Supergirl musical episode so... Might still see Grant and Chris singing together.
Anyway, onto the actual episode, which, again, was freaking amazing!
As the title suggests, our Biggest Team Ever have to fight somothing that invades their planet, aliens. So, apparently a meteor is crashing into earth so, obviously, and because this is a The Flash episode afterall, Barry goes there to stop the meteor or, at least, try to find something about it. That's when it crashes that he sees it's not a meteor but a spaceship, with loads of aliens coming out of it.
The next day the first 'crossover character' appears, Lyla, telling them that those aliens are called 'Dominators' and that they have previously been on Earth, killing a lot of people.
That's when Barry decides to join the Teams, Team Arrow, alongside with Thea, who, after knowing about it being aliens, wants to join and help them, The Legends, apart from the 'new characters' Nate and Amaya (which also lefts a bit sad because I would like to see them in this crossover too. We might still see them in the Legends episode, though) and Kara.
I guess I don't need to say that a lot of funny moments happen. I liked to see everyone's reactions to Kara and her powers as well as Kara's reaction to some of the other characters, mostly Mick and Oliver.
Also, when deciding on a Team Leader, Cisco votes it to be Oliver because he's still mad at Barry but Oliver says that it was Barry who got them together so that he should be the Leader. Well, we all know that Barry isn't really a Team Leader so basically he told them to do what Oliver was telling him to say. For sure, Oliver is a way better Team Leader. I still love you Barry, though.
Anyway, so they start training, fighting against Kara, afterall, she's the alien and she's probably the one with similar powers and all with those other aliens.
Something else that I really enjoyed about this episode was that we finally found out what Barry's future sef told Rip Hunter, that message that Jax and Dr. Stein found at the Wave Rider. And, well, if you don't see Legends you probably don't know what the well I'm talking about, as well as, if you only watch Legends and aren't going to watch The Flash's episode of this crossover, you will also miss this really important piece of information so, I highly recommend you to watch all four series because they're all amazing.
Anyway, so we find out and basically Barry's future self tells them that, when the Legends get back to 2016 to not trust anyway because in 40 years time there's going to be a war or something. Then, Barry tells Oliver, Jax and Dr. Stein (the only people that know about this message until now) that we changed the timeline and that a lot of things changed, such as Cisco's brother being dead, Caitlin getting powers and Diggle having a son instead of a daughter.
They decide not to tell anyone right now because they need to focus on the alien issue but, as soon as this ends, Barry will tell everyone.
Of course, things don't go as planned and Cisco finds the message and basically tells everyone. After hearing this, Felicity tells them there's an issue with the aliens and that they need to save the president. As they are about to leave, no one wants Barry to go with them, so he decides to stay, they have Supergirl anyway so they will probably be fine. Oliver doesn't agree and says that he isn't going without Barry, hoping that the rest of the Team would 'let him' go with them, but with no chance, so Oliver stays behind with Barry.
Of course our Team leaders have to be left behind because the rest of the team, then, gets traped by the Dominators with mind control, turning against Oliver and Barry.
Luckily, they have a good plan and Barry gets Kara to destroy the device that was controlling them.
After this, the Team decides to trust Barry again and that's when, suddenly, Sara, Ray, Diggle, Thea and Oliver are teleported away before Barry can intervene. And, that's how the episode ends.
Of course, today there's the continuation on Arrow's episode which I'm going to watch live! So, if you want to tweet with me just follow my accounts - @danixinhahhh.
And yeah, I don't have anything else to say besides already loving this crossover! Seriously so good!
Let me know your thoughts about the crossover and I'll see you tomorrow with the Arrow rant.
Love,
Daniela.

Supergirl | Season 2 Episode 8 - "Medusa"


Spoiler Alert!

So, it starts!
That's right guys, our biggest crossover ever started last night with Supergirl's episode and, just like I said I would, I'm doing a rant of every episode in this crossover, starting with Supergirl.
To be honest, I don't really know why I'm doing this rant, because the only part crossover related in this episode was the very last 5 minutes or something... Ok, we had some clues during th episode but basically, just like I have read, this was just the set up for the crossover that is going to happen in the next episodes of The Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow.
Anyway, I'm doing a full rant of the episode because I need to talk about my baby Chris Wood.
If you don't follow Supergirl you might not understand some things in this rant so, I'm sorry about that.
So, the episode starts with Cyborg Superman unleashing a virus in the alien bar that kills all the aliens that were there, except for Mon-El (Chris Wood's character).
And, since we are already on the topic of Chris Wood, and since I haven't talked yet about this character of his... Let me tell you that, this character is so different from what I'm used to from him. I mean, Mon-El has basically the same sense of humor as Kai did and he doesn't have a beard here so, it kind of reminds me Kai but, at the same time, it's so different. I don't know, I just know that I love seeing him on my TV and that I will watch anything that he is in.
Ok, now back to the story.
Mon-El doesn't die but he is kept in quarantine (throwback to Containment). And basically the rest of the episode is about Kara and the rest of the DEO trying to find a cure so they can save Mon-El, as well as trying to stop Cadmus from unleashing the virus in a 'global' scale.
Meanwhile all this, Alex also comes out to Eliza, about her being gay, as well as Mon-El, in a 'dying state', kisses Kara. (Un)Fortunately, when they find the cure, he lies to Kara saying that he doesn't remember anything and, since, until now, Kara doesn't really have feelings for him, she doesn't tell him anything either.
And, because I always have to give my opinion on the ships... I seriously don't know what to think about them. I'm not a big fan, to be honest, but I can 'tolerate' them together, if they eventually really end up together, which I do think will happen because we also find out in this episode that some aliens are looking for Mon-El, in order to kill him (I think).
Now, the connection to the crossover.
While all this was happening, every now and then a breach opened, but no one came out of it. Just in the very last scene of the episode, we see Barry and Cisco coming out of it while Kara arrives at her house. Barry tells her that they have a problem in their Earth an that they need her help. And, like this, the crossover is set up.
As you can see,  not much in this episode was crossover related, but I decided to do the rant anyway, because I thought it would make more sense.
So, tomorrow a new The Flash rant will be up! Unfortunatelly, I won't be able to watch it live tonight but I'm going to watch the Arrow episode live so, excited for that!
Anyway, let me know in the comments your thoughts about this episode, and tell me if you already watched Supergirl before the crossover or if you just watched this episode because of it.
Until tomorrow!
Love,
Daniela.
