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 9 - "Queen Death"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

Here it is brand new The Originals rant.

I got to be honest with you, this episode didn't really stuck in my head, which means I might not cover all the events that happened. I'm going to try to cover as much as I can /as I remember, but just keep that in mind.

Like I said, this episode didn't stuck, which means it wasn't one of my favourites. Don't get me wrong, I liked it anyway, we had a lot of Hope moments, which are my favourites and we finally have the 'real' Hollow, so it's going to be interesting for now on.

But, back to the beginning ot the episode it actually didn't start like the previous one ended, which I guess was just to keep us waiting to find out if Elijah was really dead.

Turns out he wasn't but he was about to, and that was the main concert throughout the whole episode.

So Klaus starts working with Marcel, and then Freya joins them, as well as Vincent and Hayley. You could say that it was an 'all-hand-on-deck' kind of situation because, not only they wanted to get Elijah back, but also they needed to stop The Hollow from getting to her real body.

They do everything they can but, in the end, The Hollow gets her hands on the last bone and she just does some type of magic and the very last shot that we see is her crawling out of a tree, really disgusting!

But, while all of this was happening, they were also trying, like I said, to find a way to save Elijah and, at first, Klaus volunteers himself to be the one to die, and then be stuck inside the necklace that Finn was last season, so Elijah doesn't have to die, but obviously something went wrong and their only option was really to try and put Elijah inside that necklace, which would be risky because he was too weak. 

Then, the Hollow does her magic, the necklace breaks and it just left us thinking that he was really dead and, to be honest, I kind of wish he was. I don't know about you guys, but Elijah isn't the same character that I used to love and now basically him and Klaus switched places and... I just think it would be, as much as it would be tragic, it would also be unexpeced and kind of a plot twist, but I don't think they would do that unless Daniel Gillies had other show to film or he wanted to leave the show, which none is happening so, of course, as you can imagine, he is not dead.

And then, we see in the preview that the only way to get him back is to get inside his head and search for him, so that's what Hayley does, and that's basically it.

Like I said, not much, but at the same time, a lot.

Next episode will only hair in June so we have a week without knowing what's going to happen.

Anyway, let me know your thoughts about the episode and I'll see you in my next rant.

Love,

Daniela.

The Originals | Season 4 Episode 7 - "High Water and a Devil's Daughter"

Spoiler Alert!

I'm finally back with the The Originals rants!

First of all, I want to say I'm sorry for being really late with this rant. And, after watching this episode, I really regret not watching it live because it was so good! But I couldn't really watch it live and this week was crazy in terms of University work that I didn't have time until now (which means, I didn't watch last night's episode live either).

With that said, let's get into the proper rant!

Like I said, this episode was great! I don't know if that had an impact on this episode, but this one was directed by Charles Michael Davis, aka Marcel, and actually I really liked Marcel in this episode!

Maybe he did it on purpose, maybe not, I just know that I quite liked him in this one and I loved his interactions with Hope. Hope was certainly my favourite, but she always his so... 

Anyway... This scenes happen actually because Freya put a protection spell on the compound, which meant neither Hope, Klaus, Hayley or Marcel could leave the House. Right in the beginning we see Hope playing with some of Marcel's old toys and a few scenes after Hope goes to where Marcel is trapped and starts talking to him. Like I said, those were my favourite scenes and then, when Freaya's plan go a little downhill, and Dominic gets to enter their house, Hope actually frees Marcel and he actually protects her, which I quite liked and all those scenes where great. From her talking to him until Klaus finding her and Marcel on the street and Hope telling Klaus that Marcel's her friend. Those were great scenes!

Meanwhile, Elijah's character just gets more and more awful to me. Seriously, I used to like Elijah so much and right now I totally agree with Vincent when he said that Elijah is doing so bad for the town and everything, that he has no soul. I totally agree with that. But anyway, before they have that conversation, some other stuff happen. Elijah takes matter in his own hands and starts the sacrifice himself by killing four young witches. Vincent didn't want to do it but because of that, he had no other way then doing it because he wouldn't just let those four girls die. Unfortunatelly, things don't go that well and the ancestors are still mad, so they won't help with the sacrifice. With that, Vincent has to come up with something else and he ends up like 'calling' Davina and, since she's basically with the ancestors, she helps him and basically she's the ancestor in charge of New Orleans and their new ally... Or is she?!

And this (besides those scenes with Marcel) is where things start becoming interesting. Not only I was really happy that we were going to have some Davina back but, very close to the end of the episode, we see some type of shadow going to Sophya, taking the Papa Tunde's blade from her and saying that it would take her body now. And, the voice was Davina's! And she also said that the ancestors were trying to take her to the dark place (or whatever) and then, when she got inside Sophya's body, her eyes glowed blue... Like the Hollow! So, this leads me to think that, The Hollow, is actually Davina! I don't know, maybe this is what they are trying to do but... I don't know... I just know that this is very interesting and I can't wait to see more of it!

Then, the other exciting part! Freya ends up finding out about Apisis which, by the end of the episode, she finds out it's an werewolf line, Tyler Lockwood's line! You know what this means?! Alaric is probably back next episode! (Which I'm going to see right after I end this rant.) So, I'm very excited about all of this!

Next episode looks like it's going to be as good as this one so, I can't wait!

Also, before I end this rant, just wanted to say that we finally got confirmation from The CW that The Originals was renewed for Season 5 and you know what this means?! Klaroline is probably going to happen! Seriously, I really hope this happens because I just wanted to have a Season 5 because of that! Well, not only because of that, but that was the main reason, to be honest!

Anyway, that's it guys!

I'm now going to watch the next episode and I'll see you in a few hours!

Love,

Daniela.

The Originals | Season 4 Episode 6 - "Bag of Cobras"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys. Just like I promised, here I am with the The Originals rant.

And, just like my Supernatural rant, I think this episode of The Originals was a bit of a filler. I enjoyed it anyway, but I feel like not much happen in this episode. Also, I think this episode was basically to let us know more about this Dominic guy, who we just found out about in the previous episode, so it makes sense this episode be a lot about him.

Since we're in this topic already, I'm going to mention right away that I think this guy is going to be The Hollow, like the body were the hollow is going to be. I don't know, I think this episode was a set up for that so, that's my prediction.

Besides that, I need to say that I was really annoyed about the whole thing about Hayley's parents.

I know that in the end we found out that we needed all of that in order to find one of the objects or whatever that they need, but I really think it was too much and, again, such a filler.

Something that I was really sad about was not having Hope in this one.

You know that I'm a sucker for Klaus and Hope scenes and he haven't had those in a while so, it was little bit sad.

And the fact that there was a bunch of things that I didn't like in this episode didn't help.

Talking about things that I didn't like (I'm sorry, I know I'm complaining too much) that girl Sophia... Seriously, she really pisses me off and I just can't wait for her to die!

Althought, I must admit, there was a scene between her and Klaus that, even thought I hated to see them together, I really liked all the shots like the directing and the colour and all of that. Also, loved the music in that scene so, as you can see, it wasn't all bad.

Well, I think that's basically it.

I'm really sorry about that fact that this rant is so short and about the fact that I basically just pointed out things that I didn't like but I was completely honest with you in the beginning and I told you that I didn't really like this episode.

Besides, I'm here to be honest with you and tell you my real thoughts, and if I didn't like one episode, I'll tell you that.

Maybe I'm just being too hard on it, but I didn't really enjoy it so... I'm sorry.

Let me know what you thoughts and I'll see you in my next rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Originals | Season 4 Episode 5 - "I Hear You Knockin"

Spoiler Alert!

Like I said, here I am with the last The Originals rant.

I don't know what is up with me, but I've been really underwhelmed with this past episodes.

Maybe I was expecting more of this season but, this past two episodes, were a little weak. 

I think it has been a lot of the same like, for example, what happened in this episode between Marcel and Klaus... Yes, it was interesting to watch but, most of the parts that were actually interesting were the parts where it was the Hollow messing with their minds, mostly Klaus' (but that might be because I'm Team Klaus and everything to do with him is interesting to me). But, apart from that, the 'actual' fight between Klau and Marcel was a little weak.

I must say, I didn't really want Marcel to die. He's not my favourite character but, I don't know, I think he's important to the storyline and to the series so I seriously hope they don't kill him off.

Also, I hate to see Klaus powerless. One of the reasons why I love Klaus so much is because he's like really powerfull and basically no one can mess with him but, the truth is, the Hollow can mess with him and that is a little distrubing to watch.

Nonetheless, I think the Hollow is a really interesting 'villain' and I'm loving all the darkness in this season. 

Something that I was a little sad about this episode was the lack of Hope... I know she's not a Regular and that she can't be the main 'focus' in all episodes but you know that my favourite scenes are the ones between Hope and Klaus and we didn't really have that in this episode, so it was little downside for me...

Oh, and I have to talk about Freya and Keelan...

It is so damn obvioust what they are trying to do... Obviously they are going to become a couple and, to be honest, I don't know how to feel about that.

I love the idea of love and I love to ship people but, those two... I don't know... There's something off for me. Maybe it's just the fact that I don't really like Freya but... I don't see myself shipping them. But, who knows?! Maybe I'll change my mind. I didn't really ship Kolvina in the beginning but look where I am now... I'm the biggest Kolvina shipper!

And, to finish this rant, I need to talk about that ending like, what was that?! A weapon that can kill an Original?! Seriously?! Nope, don't like it!

First, if the Hollow wasn't enough, we need two more villains... That, I think was unecessary... and the the Hollow created a new weapon that can kill an Original?! That is an huge plot whole! Like, I understand they creating a weapon that can kill Marcel... His 'species' is new and they can come up with something but, something other than white oak that can kill the originals?! Nope, I don't buy that. I seriously hate that storyline and I think they are doing an huge mistake with that. 

I understand that the Hollow wants them to kill each other but, if there's no white oak, you can't kill and Original, period! Obviously I know they won't kill them because they are the reason this series exist but... To me, that is just a mistake and I won't buy that one bit! I seriously don't like that plot!

Anyway guys, let me know what you thought about this two episodes and tell me what you think about this new weapon. I would love to know your thoughts about it.

Unfortunatelly we won't have a new episode this week so, new The Originals rant next week so, I'll see you then!

Love,

Daniela.

The Originals | Season 4 Episode 4 - "Keepers of the House"

Spoiler Alert!

Finally here I am to update you with the latest two The Originals episodes.

I must say that this episode was a little bit weak in my opinion.

Directing wise it was great, though. I think Joseph Morgan did an amazing job directing this episode because, being an audiovisual and multimedia student, I pay attention to all the scenes and photography and all that and I think this episode had a lot of great scenes photography and directing wise.

Script wise I think it was little bit weak, starting right at the beginning of the episode.

They started it right away with that scene of the birds falling around Hope and I though they were going to save that scene for later. I understand why they did that, I just think it was a little bit anti-climatic.

Besides that, all the episode was a little bit anti-climatic.

Once again, I understand, I just thought it was weak. I understand that we needed to find out more about the Hollow and all of the 'darkness' and the 'villain' in this season, and in that, the episode was good. I got to understand a little bit better all this mythology because all I knew was that symbol, and it was from Hemlock Grove and, from what I've understood in this episode, the meaning behind that is a lot different in both shows, so that was good.

Something else that I realized in this episode was that they are putting a lot of mythology in this season. They are messing with a lot of things at the same time which, in part, is good but, at the same time, is a little bit confusing.

And, once again, storywise, the only parts that I really liked were the Klaus/Hope scenes. I just can't help it, they are too cute and Joseph Morgan as 'Daddy Klaus' is phenomenal!

I also really enjoyed that last part of the episode were Hayley says to Elijah that they need to stop putting their family above everyone else. I'm not Hayley's biggest fan, but I really think we needed someone to realize that because I think that is going to be important from now on.

Two things that I didn't really enjoy in this episode were Elijah and Freya.

You all know by now that I hate Freya but this season she has really been a b*tch. Ok, that last part of the episode was 'nice' but overall, she has really been pissing me off and, I seriously don't care if I get hate for this but, I really hope she is the one to die at the end of this season.

I've already heard that someone is going to die and I really hope it's her. There's a possibility it is her because Riley Voelkel is brunette now so that might mean Freya dies?! Who knows...

The second thing that I didn't like was Elijah. I already said this in previous rants but Elijah has been acting really strange in this season and he's not the Elijah I liked. I hope the conversation he had with Hayley in the end of this episode changes him and makes him go back to what he was because I think that's one of the reasons why they've put that conversation on the script, to change Elijah 'back to normal' so, let's hope that!

And yeah, that's basically it now.

I don't think this was a strong episode. It was good not just what I thought it would be. Hopefully the next one will be better because I feel like now we have a good 'base' to start with the darkness and with the main 'bad things' so, let's see what the next episode brings!

As you know, the next episode already aired so I'm going to watch that next and I'll be back to tell you what I thought about it in a few hours!

Until then...

Love,

Daniela.

The Originals | Season 4 Episode 1 - "Gather Up the Killers"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys! So, here's something new!

That's right, I've decided to start doing The Originals rants!

The truth is, I just loved last season of The Originals and I basically used to talk a little bit about each episode in my TVD rants (when both series aired on Friday, one after other) so I just thought, this season, I need to rant about The Originals! And, since TVD ended, I thought this should be a great 'substitute', since I won't be doing TVD rants anymore.

Also, I'm going to live tweet during The Originals as well, just like I used to do with TVD. Unfortunately, I couldn't watch the premiere live because I didn't realize the time had changed in the US, which meant that, here in Portugal, the episode, this week, wasn't on at 1am like it used to be, but at midnight, so I missed it. Anyway, next week the time is back to 1am because the time changes here in Portugal so, it's all fine.

Now, let's get into the proper rant.

I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with this episode. It was good and all but, I feel like premiere episodes aren't that exciting anymore. Maybe it's just me but I watch basically all the previews and stuff they put out and, when it comes to premieres, they put out a lot of stuff, which meant that I already knew basically all the episode, just in a different order. The only 'major' part that I didn't know anything about, which was one of my favourites, was Christina Moses' character (which I can't remember the name of, right now). I knew Christina was coming to the Originals and I already knew her from Containment so I was really excited to see which type of character she would be. I mean, I already knew she was going to be a werewolf, but I wanted to see how she was personality wise. And I liked her! We didn't see enough of her for me have formed a 'proper' opinion but we'll see...

The other part that I really liked was, obviously, Klaus! He was chained up and all but that fight with Alistair?! Damn, that was so good! That is the Klaus I know and love! Seriously, loved that part!

But, of course, there where some things that I didn't really like about the episode. I mean, not that I didn't like, but I was a bit disappointed. Like, where was Kol?! Kol is my favourite Original and we saw Elijah and Freya come back to life but what about Kol and Rebekah?! I really wanted to see Kol and Rebekah! I seriously hope they will be on next episodes... 

Also, something that I thought would be more exciting was Hope. I think we didn't get enought of her so I also hope we have more of her in next episodes. I mean, we sure will because I think she's going to be very important in this season so... Yeah, can't wait for that!

And then, the ending! I know that symbol from Hemlock Grove but I can't really remember what it meant in that series... I don't even know if here it will have the same meaning but, I'm really intrigued about that... Looks like it's going to be a good season.. Let's see!

So yeah, I guess that's it for this first The Originals rant!

I know it's not as long as TVD ones but I still hope you like it. Let me know your thoughts about the episode and, if remember what that symbol means, tell me because I seriously can't remember.

I'll see you later with a new The Flash rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 12 "Path to Paradise"

Spoiler Alert!

Yes, I'm still alive!

I know it's been over a month since my last update and I know I took too long with the final rant for Containment but 1) I've been holidays and 2) I kind of didn't want to watch the last episode because that would mean that the series is really over, not that I'm too sad about it not having a second season because you know I've always said that this series wouldn't have much of a story to have a second season but, I just didn't want to stop watching Chris Wood on my TV (I know, really weird) but yeah, I gotta get one with this rant, right?! So, let's jump right into it!

I gotta say, first of all, that I didn't really like the ending. It was a good 'conclusion' apart from one thing, we didn't get an antidote! Or did I just saw that wrong?! Because, from what I understood, the Cordon was still 'up' in the end and there was still a virus. Please, tell me if I'm wrong about that because I really didn't enjoy the fact that we didn't have a proper good ending.

Althought, I did enjoy the last part of the episode being Jake narrating how it all ended for everyone. Chris Wood does have a really good narriting voice and, I'm not saying this just because of this last part of the episode, but because I've already listen to his narration of one of Cassandra Clare's books and I really enjoyed it, even thought I didn't understand the story because it was a continuation of other book from the Shadowhunters series. I just listened to it because of Chris Wood, to be honest with you but yeah, this isn't about Chris Wood, this is about this last episode of the series so, let's get back to it.

So, even thought we didn't have a proper ending about the virus, we did have a good ending about 'who created it' and such. Leo, with the help of Lex and Lex's dad, got the story about Lommers out in his blog with good evidence and the police got Lommers. The episode ended saying that there would be hearings so, that was a good part of the ending!

About Teresa and Xander and the baby, well... Teresa and Xander get engaged and they stay in the cordon, in Teresa's mum store and I guess they will live happily ever after?!  I don't know, but it seemed like a good ending for them, even thought I did't really care for their characters... For sure, not my favourites.

One of the moments that I was most exciting to see was the moment of Lex and Jana's reunion and, let's just say, it didn't happen at all likeI was expecting it to be.

Lex fnds Jana while she's (and the others) trying to excape the cordon and he didn't even hug her or anything! But, in the end, it all went well, because, even thought they got back inside the cordon, Lex got back with her (and the others) and I guess they will also be living happily ever after?! I don't know, I just know that I ship them really hard and I'm really happy they are finally together, even if they're inside the Cordon.

And, about the cure... Even if we don't have a proper ending, they did find another person like Thomas, with antibodies against the virus, which may lead to a cure, so it's good!

That's basically it folks!

In the end, not everything turned out fine but most of the characters god a 'good ending', which I'm happy about.

Overall, wasn't the ending that I wasn expecting, so I'm kind of disappointed but, considiring that they finished shooting without knowing if there would be a season 2 or not, it was a good ensing.

Anyway, let me know your thoughts about the series finale and I guess we'll only 'see' eachother in September, when American Horror Story gets back!

Until then...

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 12 "Yes Is The Only Living Thing"

Spoiler Alert!

So, the series is coming to an end. Only one episode left (which I won't be able to watch live and post the rant right away). But first, we need to talk about last night's episode, which was huge!

I have to be honest with you and say that it wasn't my favourite. Maybe I just felt weird knowing that my ship had just ended, or maybe it wasn't as surprising as I thought it would be but we sure got a lot of answers.

As I said in my last post, I knew that Jana wouldn't just leave her friends behind, and that's just what happened. Basically the entire episode they have been searching for money, money to pay Meize (sorry if it isn't how you spell it), so he would show them the way to break out of the cordon.

Again, I didn't want to jump right into the end but... Before they got out, someone else got out of the cordon and... let's just say it wasn't pretty. The cops killed that person, and he wasn't even infected! And that was exactly how the episode ended so, now, I'm really afraid for Jana, Suzy, Teresa, Xander, the baby and Quentin. Yes, that's right, Quentin joined them to get out. Jake was supposed to get out as well but, of course, something had to happen and that gang that I absolutely hate threatened Dr. Cannerts so Jake has to stay at the hospital to 'project' him.

Anyway, so now I'm really afraid for them because if they do get out of the cordon (which I believe they will) the cops are most likely going to kill them and, I don't want that to happen! I just want to see the reunion between Jana and Lex because I believe it's going to be so beautiful. Well, if it eventually happens, which I doubt right now.

Talking about Lex... He finally finds out everything that happened! I'm not going to explain everything to you because even I didn't understand it clearly but, what matters is that it was indeed Lommers who 'created' everything. She is behind all of this!

It isn't really a surprise to us, which makes me, in a weird way, sad. I was expecting some big reveal about how all of this happened and, turns out, it really was Lommers. So, right now, the only exciting thing about the last episode is if Jana and the others get out of the cordon and, if they do, what will happen to them.

Also, I really want to see that cute reunion betweet Lex and Jana and, of course, I don't want Jake to die!

That's it guys!

Last rant is gonna go up later, unfortunatelly so, don't spoil me, please. But, feel free to tell me in the comments what are your predictions for the last episode of the series.

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 11 "Nothing Gold Can Stay"

Spoiler Alert!

I know, another late post and I'm sorry about that. Also, I just wanted to let you know that I won't be able to upload the last rant in the week that the episode airs because I'm going to be away and I won't be able to watch the episode until the next week. Just letting you all know already.

It seems like it was ages ago since I last updated the blog but, in fact, it was just a week and some days. The fact that this series is already ending and that everything else is on hiatus is making the blog get less updates so, I would also want to know if you have any other series that you would like me to start watching and review because I really didn't want to stop posting on this blog. So, let me know if you want me to start a new specific series.

Anyway, onto the actual rant.

This episode was so heartbreaking! I didn't want to jump right into this because it is the last thing that is shown on the episode but... We got the answers that we wanted about Jatie and, unfortunately, it wasn't good news. That's right, Katie ended up dying and, it wasn't pretty, it really wasn't pretty.

I mean, the whole scene was beautifully executed like, the actors, the photography everything was really beautiful but... It wasn't the end that we wanted. I felt so sad for Jake. Now that we were getting somewhere with Jatie and that both of them realized that they were in love with each other... It was something so beautiful and... it had to end like this...

But, the episode wasn't just about Jatie (even thought it was mostly, at least, for me). We also got some answers about the whole Dr. Lommers/Dr. Cannerts thing. And, it was in this episode that I realized how cruel Dr. Lommers is! She just blamed Dr. Cannerts for everything! And, in fact, which we find out later in the episode, he isn't responsible for anything that happened with the virus! I mean, he sure knew about the other doctor and her husband being infected but it wasn't him who created the virus!

And, when Leo and Lex tried to do something that this, Leo disappeared! I don't believe he ran away, I believe someone kidnapped him or something because, it just wouldn't make sense for him to run away like that, now that they were finding everything about what really happened! I mean, they didn't know about Dr. Cannerts because he only told Katie and we know what happened to Katie but... Leo and Lex were so close so, someone must have done soemthing to him!

And, last storyline in this episode, Jana kind of finds a way out of the cordon but in order for her to get out, she needs to leave everyone behind and I don't believe Jana would do that! I love Jana for the person that she is, that she always helps others and cares about others more than herself so, I don't believe she's going to leave her friends behind.

Let's see what happened next episode (which airs tomorrow).

So, let me know your thoughts about this episode and, once again, I won't be able to upload the rant for last episode in time so, bare with me.

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 10 "A Time to Be Born"

Spoiler Alert!

So, with the series almost coming to an end (we only have two more episodes left) everything is on stake now, and this episode, episode 10, was an episode, just like Kristen said, to get answers. 

Also, something that we've been waiting to happen all season happens, Teresa finally have her baby and, oh my! I guess we can start right there, since it's one of the major storylines in this episode.

I gotta say that with every episode I start liking Jana more and more! She has been my favourite since the very start of the series, even before, I already liked Christina and her character is just amazing! In the end, it was Jake (my sweet sweet love Chris Wood) who got everything to work out fine but Jane sure was an huge 'rock' in all of this. And, even though I don't really like Teresa, I can't even imagine the pain she was going through because, lets face it, she didn'g have any medication, anything to help her with the pain and, if it wasn't for Jake who appeared last minute, and who can deliver babies (which I didn't know was part of a police officer 'curriculum') everything might have happened not as good as it ended, at least, talking about Teresa and her baby, because not everything worked out fine. But, let's talk about something else first and talk about the bad stuff in the end.

In this episode we finally find out (kinda) who's behind all of this and, it's Dr. Lommers! Seriously, after last week's episode I really thought she wasn't as bad as I thought she was but, after all... She's the one who is behind all of this virus thing. I still don't know what's really up because it's all very confusing... All about she working with chief and with Dr. Cannerts, I really don't understand, but I guess we are going to find out in next week's episode, at least, that's the idea I have from what I saw in the preview.

Ok, I guess the time has come, we have to talk about how Julie Pleac always messes everything up!

Yeah, you can already probably imagine what I'm talking about (if you haven't seen the episode yet), she freaking had to make Katie sick! I mean, I already kind of knew this was going to happen, it's a Julie show afterall, but... I still had a little bit of hope but, in the moment that they said, right in the beginning of the episode that Katie wasn't sick, I just knew that something was about the happen. They wouldn't just through everything that happen in the last episode and then start this one with 'yeah, everything is fine'. Guess what, I was right and the very last scene of the episode is Katie coughing blood, while Jake is 'in front of her' (outside the room she's in, of course). 

I just knew they would mess up our ship. I mean, at least, she didn't kill Chris Wood again, which is already good because if she didn't... oh my.. I don't know how I would react!

This can still happen but... I don't think she will kill both of them but... You never know!

Well, that's basically it!

Tell me your thoughts about this episode in the comments and I'll see you next week with a new review.

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 9 "A Kingdom Divided Amongst Itself"

Spoiler Alert!

Omg you guys, this episode was just mind-blowing. This is the episode that we've all been waiting for and it truly was one of the best episodes so far. I know I say this a lot, basically in every rant but, the truth is, this series just gets better and better and, before you think I've changed my mind, I didn't. I still think they made the best decision in canceling the series because I think if they had another Season, they would mess up something that was great, and change it into something boring. It's better to have just one really good season than have more than one and being crapy. This is just my opinion, but I'll gladly here what you have to say about that. 

But, anyway, enough talking about the cancellation and let's talk about this great episode that we had last night!

So, once again, I live tweeted and, even though it wasn't as good as last Tuesday (in terms of being noticed by the cast) I was still noticed by Kristen and Christina, my faves right now (apart from Chris, obviously). Kristen is such a cutie and I don't even know how I could 'hate' her before the show. I guess I just didn't like the idea of her portraiting Chris Wood's character love interest, which is odd, because now I ship them so hard. And, because we are already talking about Jatie (their ship name), this was another huge episode for them. They had their first date and, omg Chris Wood sang in this episode! Let me just have this fangirling moment because I've been waiting for this for so long! I might be wrong but, I think this is the first time Chris sings in a TV Show and I've been dying to hear him sing in one because he truly sings beautiful, so as Kristen, That's right, she also sang in this episode and omg I didn't know that girl could sing that well! That made me like her even more, Kristen and her character Katie, and ship Jatie even harder. But, let's talk about something else, afterall, this series isn't all about Jatie (even though Chris is the reason why I started watching the series).

So, we are on Day 13, the day that we had a glimpse of in the first episode and it is as bad as we saw in the first episode, or even worse!

People started a riot and are trying to get outside the cordon. Lex and Lommers are still trapped inside that 'box' and aren't able to do anything, which leaves the National Guard Captain to lead everything and we know how a douche he is so, nothing could end well.

Meanwhile, Katie and Jake are having that date when they find out that some of Katie's students are missing and they have to go into the streets to find them. That's when everything gets so messed up! Jake goes somewhere to take of his uniform and leaves Katie alone in a corner. When he's coming back to her he bumps into one of the students that is with her tutor or something. He (Jake) finds out that they left Mary behind because she got sick. That's when we see Katie seeing Mary go inside a car. Of course Katie runs to where Mary is, but a car bumps into the car that Mary got inside and, when Katie gets there, Mary is already dead. Let's keep in mind that Katie didn't know that Mary got sick and so she carries Mary into somewhere and that's when Jake finds her and... The look on Jake's face just broke my heart. All of this that is happening seems so real and I just felt so sad and heart-broken for Jake and Katie and... Of course, when all of this ended, she had to get in quarentine and... I just don't have my hopes up... Knowing that this is a Julie show, she's going to mess our ship and let's just say everythings going to end badly, I just feel it.

Anyway, there's just one little thing left to be said, and that's Leo's storyline in this episode. 

Since Lex is nowhere to be found Leo keeps going with his investigation to know who Patient Zero was talking to on the phone when he got sick. 

And that's basically it. As you can see, this was an huge episode, full of emotions and it was just chaotic.

Let me know your thoughts on this episode and what are your predictions for the 4 episodes remaining.

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 8 - "There's a Crack in Everything"

Spoiler Alert!

I know, super later with this post.

If you follow me on twitter you know why I took this time out but I'm back and I have some exciting news, from the series, to share with you.

So, besides this being one of my favourite episodes, I decided to start live tweeting during the episodes, and Episode 08 was the first one that I live tweeted and it was a great live tweeting session. I got to be noticed by almost every cast member - Christina Moses, Kristen Gutoskie, George Young and Claudia Black - which was great.

Ok, now that I've told you that, let's get right into the episode.

In this episode we find out that Thomas is imune to the virus or, at least, we thought he was. I didn't want to jump right into the 'end' of the episode but, it turns out that he isn't imune, he is just a pacient that doesn't have symptoms, which turns out to be a huge problem, but I'll get into that later.

This episode was also really big for Jatie fans, which I became one recently. Katie and Jake become closer than ever in this episode after finding out that something really was going on in the day of the outbreak and they find out who Patient Zero really is.

Jake tells everything to Lex, just one last time because, after trying to get inside the Cordon, Lext gets suspendend and that's in that moment, when Lex and Jake talk, that Lex tells Jake that if he really does like Katie that he should do something, and that's kind of what happens. Jake starts showing more his interest in Katie and later in the episode, almost in the very end, one of the cutest/hotest/weirdest scenes happen. Katie and Jake finally kiss, but through a shower cortain. That might be a little difficult to explain to you if you haven't seen the episode but it was just sweet and weird at the same time. Even after a week, I don't know what to feel about that scene. I liked it, I'm glad it happened but... It was just a tiny little bit weird.

The third storyline in this episode was Jana's storyline, where Suzy, her and the other try to excape the cordon, failing. I really thought they were going to make it but... I guess I was wrong.

And then, that's when the wrost thing happens (at least, in this episode, because episode 9 was way worse). Katie and Jake, following Dr. Lommers orders, try to extract Thomas out of the cordon, so they can start working on an antidote but is in that moment that Dr. Cannerts finds that Thomas isn't immune but just doesn't have symptoms and tries to stop the extraction. He does manage to do it but Lex and Lommers end up getting in contact with him and so they have to be in quarentine inside that 'box', while the other people inside the cordon decide to start a riot and... That's how the episode ends.

Episode 9 is the Day 13, the day that we saw in the beginning of the season so, it's bad. I already saw the episode so expect another rant in a few hours.

And yeah, that's it for this episode. I quite liked it. As I said before, it was probably my favourite episode but again, episode 9 was epic but, I'm not going to talk about it here so, keep an eye for the next rant.

Until then... Don't forget to comment your thoughts on this episode.

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 6 - "He Stilled The Rising Tumult"

Spoiler Alert!

First of all, I wanna say sorry for posting this so late. I know this isn't about my personal life but I feel like I should explain you why I haven't done it already.

I've been caught up with uni work and also, I went out during the weekend, so I wasn't available at all to do it.

But, today I'm here so, since yesterday another episode aired, expect a new update right after this one.

So, let's get into the actual rant.

I personally really liked this episode. It wasn't my favourite (it is still the previous one) but it was still really good. I feel like this one was a little more chilled, even thought major things happened in this episode.

I gotta start with saying that I loved the opening scene, with Chris Wood aka Jake Riley looking extremely hot. (I thought I should mention that). Ok, besides that, the next thing in the episode, and basically the major point through out the whole episode, was Lex trying to find out what is going on. Along side with Jake, and now also with Leo, he goes after the security cameras footage. Of course he goes through a lot of problems and this part of the episode got me really into it. I really am super curious about the hell is going on. Also, the captain (or what his 'name' is) is really starting to 'mess with me'. I'm 100% on Lex side so... 

The second major thing in this episode was the Jake and Katie look out for Thomas. We find out in this episode that Thomas' whole family died, or is sick, so Katie and Jake go after him. They eventually find him. What is surprising about this whole thing is that he isn't sick at all. Katie and Jake then take him to the hospital again. This gives both Jake and Katie a little bit of hope on getting a cure for the virus, because Dr. Cannerts said that he needed someone imune to the virus in order to come up with a cure. Of course they may be a little naive or Thomas may still develop symptoms but, until now, it's a little of hope. And, to be honest, I believe he is the answer to all of this, at least, the cure part. We only have a few episodes left so... They can't drag this out much more.

And then, the third and last major point of this episode was Xander and Teresa escaping the gang that is taking over their shop. Let's just say that that gand is really pissing me off. I know I said this already in a previous rant but, even if all of this with the virus wasn't enough!

Anyway, so they do escape and they go to where Jana and her friends are staying. Everything seems to be just fine. Then Teresa's mum arrives there, just like they planned but... They (the gang) tracked them and end up going with Teresa's mother and, the final shot of the episode is one member of the gang pointing a gun at Teresa's mum.

Seriously, this really makes me mad, even though I don't really care about Teresa's mother or even Teresa. I still find her character annoying and I couldn't care less about her story but still... The gang pisses me off even more.

So, this is my opinion about this episode.

I would say to leave me your thoughts about the episode in the comments but I believe you have already seen episode 7 and prefer to talk about that one so... That rant will be up in about an hour so... Keep an eye on that.

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 5 - "Like a Sheep Among Wolves"

Spoiler Alert!

I gotta say this again, this series gets better and better!

And, even thought you might think that I'm sad with the news that we got last week, I actually am not. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, last week it was confirmed that Containment will only have one season, this one. It looks like it was their plan all along, that's why they launched it as a limited series event, but they were still thinking if they should have a second season or not and, even though it had more views than iZombie, which is the series Containment is 'replacing', I guess it wasn't just enough and so, last week, they officially cancelled the series.

So, as I said before, I'm not sad about it. I always said, even in my rants, that I didn't see the series going as far as one season. Yes, it is a great story, but that is it, a great story for one season.

And yeah, I think I've talked too much already so... Let's get into the proper rant.

This episode got me with all the feels! I must say it was my favourite episode so far, and not just because Chris Wood looked super hot in this one (but it was a little bit because of that).

So, basically, the episode was all about getting food to the people inside the cordon and, oh man, how much trouble that simple job brought.

First, Lex was kind of 'fired' from being the 'front man', which is now their 'boss' (excuse me, but I just can't remember his name).

Then, just all the food drop thing was a lot of trouble. People were already getting hungry, like real hungry, so they just couldn't wait to get their food. But, that wasn't the big problem. The big problem was the gang that took over Teresa and her mum's supermarket last episode. They've heard about the food drop, of course, everyone did because everyone was supposed to go there to get  one box, but that gang thought they were better than everyone and got there and stole all the boxes. 30% of the people inside the cordon still got their box but the majority didn't, because those assholes stole them all! 

Seriously, you don't know how pissed I am! Even if all the virus thing wasn't enough, that gang had to show up and ruin everything. I was feeling the exact same thing as Jake was! I was really really pissed!

And then, after all of this, we also kind of fnd out that they have all been lying to us (watchers and characters). It looks like patient zero, wasn't really patient zero. 

Katie starts looking and even go and asks Dr. Cannerts who clearly lies to her. Turns out it was Dr. Sanders or her husband who were the patient zero, or even someone else! Katie finds out that they died before they find about patient zero, which means they got infected first! And she also find out that the documents and video tapes have been erased, which means, someone is clearly keeping something secret.

So, it looks like the doctors, the feds and who knows who else, are all together, lying about something. And, the truth is, I never really paid attention to this. I guess it just passed through me because I didn't realise that Dr. Sanders was infected before patient zero. I guess I got to pay more attention to the details.

And yeah, that was basically it. But, I think I should mention some other things that I quite enjoyed in this episode, afterall, it is my favourite episode so far!

One of those things that I really liked was all the Lex and Jana relationship. I think I always mention this in my rants, but they are just so cute, even thought they weren't really together in the episode!. And you know I'm all about the ships! 

Something that I also enjoyed was the fact that Jake kind of admitted that he loves Katie and, once again, I'm all about the ships so...

Oh, and that last scene when Jake is burning the body of his cop friend and the other little girl, damn that scene was intense! I felt so sorry for Jake and so sad as well... And then, at the same time, I just couldn't stop thinking how hot Chris looked in that scene. I know, inappropriated timing but, I just couldn't help it!

And yeah, I think this concludes my rant about this episode!

So far, my favourite episode, for sure!

Let me know what did you think about this episode and I'll see you next week with a new one.

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 4 - "With Silence and Tears"

Spoiler Alert!

I swear to god, this was the most emotional episode ever! Ok, it wasn't the most emotional one ever, but it sure was the most emotional so far on this series.

I feel like with this episode I got to get to know every character even better and fall in love with their story, even with Leo.

I liked specially Lex and Jana's relationship and Jake and Katie's. Sure, Jake and Katie aren't together yet but this episode made me ship them even harder! Just to think that before the show started I hated the thought of them together and now... I'm here rooting for them to get together. But just after all of this virus thing end, because I don't want my dear Jake to die.

Ok, enough rambling and let's get in to the actual episode (even though all I talked about is related to the episode but... you get it.)

Things are getting worse and better at the same time in and outside the cordon. 

The episode starts with a message from Lex to the people inside the Cordon saying that the fact that they shut down phone connection and internet connection is actually making the kills drop, which is a good thing. The down side is that Lex is starting to doubt all that Dr. Lommers have been telling him and I could see him struggling with the fact that he couldn't reach Jana and, truly, all he wanted was to know that she's fine and be with her during all of this.

I'm gonna jump a little bit ahed and say that they eventually end up talking on the phone, because Jana is super duper smart and she manages to get a phone connection and they talk a little bit. Not enough, though but it was nice for both of them to hear each others voice. And, in the very end of the episode, we see Jana at the window with a sign saying "I Love You Lex" and a drone that is watching the inside of the cordon is 'filming' it and  Lex ends up seeing the sign. It was such a cute moment! I even cried!

Meanwhile, Jake and Katie start to develop a bigger connection. Jake is even getting close to her son.

This episode truly showed us who Jake really is and this is exactly how I imagine Chris Wood to be. I don't really know why. I mean, I know a little bit how he is, because I've met him before, and in a way, he is a bit like Jake. Chris Wood is really caring and he really shows appreciation towards us, fans and, in a way, Jake is like that too, he just doesn't show his 'affection' that often. But, deep down, he is a caring person, a person who cares about others. 

I could keep going with all this but I think you got the point.

So, this episode made me fall in love even more with both Jake and Chris Wood and I'm starting to like Jake more with each episode!

And, like I said before, I even started to understand Leo's point. 

I think I should also mention a big part in this episode, which was the fact that Xander, Teresa's boyfriend tried to get inside the Cordon, failed it but, with Leo's help he got in and he basically made a deal with Leo. Leo would help him get inside the cordon and, in exchange, Xander would tell him how his friends inside the cordon are. In the end, we see that Leo's friends dies with the virus and, in that moment, I felt really bad for Leo. 

In the end, just Dr. Lommers (who wasn't even in this episode) is 'fine' with all this.

Also, that gang that tried to rob Teresa and her mum tries to do the same again but some other gang intervenes and basically gets in charde of the supermarket.

Overall, this was a really good episode! I really liked it, even though I feel like not much happened. I feel like, comparing this one with the previous one, this one was a lot more soft, even though we got deep in to the character's relationships.

Tell me what you guys thought of this episode and I'll see you tomorrow with a new Arrow rant.

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 3 - "Be Angry at the Sun"

Spoiler Alert!

I swear, this series gets more and more intense with each episode!

This episode was, by far, the most intense one, which I quite enjoyed, in a weird way. Also, I really liked the fact that Chris Wood had a lot of screen time! I mean, he always does but I think he had a bit more in this episode.

Also, with this being the 3rd episode of the series, I now finally start developing proper feelings about each and every character. Until now, I've been just getting used to the characters and trying to understand them and now, I finally have a little bit of an opinion.

Of course Jake is one of my favourites, but I also really like Lex and Jana, and also their relationship. I also kind of ship Jake and Katie. Not as much as I ship other couples in other shows, but I'm getting there. And, of course, I also have strong not so good feelings about some characters, like, for example, Dr. Lommers! She really is a b*tch and, I'm sorry about the language but, it's true! And after this episode, I think everyone is going to feel the same way about her. Which is kind of a shame, because I really like the actress, Claudia Black.

But yeah, let's get in to the proper rant.

Like I said before, Jake played an huge part in this episode. With being almost the only cop inside the cordon, he basically have to get in charge of everything, starting with helping Dr. Cannerts with disposing the bodies of the ones that died because of the virus. I think I should also mention now that we learn that, once the person dies, the virus dies too, which is kind of nice, it means that, at least, there's a way for all this to 'end'.

Anyway, poor Jake have to deal with all those dead people. He has to incinerate them and you can see in his face that it pains him. That, and also all the rage against Lex because, yes, he's still kind of mad at him. 

But that doesn't prevents Lex from asking, and later demand, Jake to basically be the 'Major' inside the cordon.

Meanwhile all this happens, the parents of the students that Katie was taking care of arrive to pick them but not all of them are inside the cordon, so she's left with some of them. And accident ends up happening and one of the students gets in contact with someone infected with the virus so he get in quarenteen. But, his dad arrives a few hours later and demands to take home his son and he even points a gun at Katie. The boy ends up leaving with his dad and I feel like he's going to be the one who's going to make all of this get worse.

Also, Teresa's storyline gets a tiny little bit more exciting when some guys go to her mother's store to rob some food. Jake ends up getting there in time and so nothing bad happens.

And then, we have the main storyline of the episode, which was the fact that Leo Green keeps posting stuff about what's happening inside the Cordon online and people is getting more scared every second. Lex talks to him so he'll stop posting those videos but he doesn't do it and he even ends up finding out that there's an excape from inside to outside the cordon and, of course he posted it online.

Lex and everyone else find about that in time and you can imagine that it wasn't pretty. Every cop outside the cordon in the place that there was the excape and then Jake and the few cops that were inside the cordon in the same place trying to 'contain' the people so no one would get out.

Of course, someone is about to get out when he's shot. It's one of the cops that is with Jake and... That was such a surprise like, I was in shock when I saw that scene.

After than, something 'kind of' worse happen. Dr. Lommers shuts down all the internet and phone connection inside the cordon which leaves a lot of peple, including Lex pissed! And, that's the reason why I'm so mad at her and hate her so much!

Anyway, I just want to see the next episode because this keeps getting better and better!

Let me know your thoughts about this episode or just about the whole show in the comments! I would love to chat with you!

Love,

Daniela.

Containment | Season 1 Episode 2 - "I to Die, You to Live"

Spoiler Alert!

This series is just on episode 2 and it is already so intense!

Yeah, that's right guys, a new episode of Containment aired last night and it was as exciting/intense as the last one.

This series is so different to what I use to watch that I kind of feel 'weird' watching it, and maybe that's the reason I'm liking it so much! That, and Chris Wood, obviously!

So, in this episode they find out that a girl that was in contact with one of the family members of pacient zero is 'missing'. She isn't in quarenteen and so the episode is basically all about trying to find her. 

Luckly, she is inside the cordon, which is a little bit of a relief. The down side is that she went around the town and we don't know who she was in contact with. A lot of other people, people that she was in contact with, end up getting in quarenteen, because they are obviously infected, in which, one of those people is one of Teresa's friend, who have been with her a few hours before, which means, Teresa is probably infected as well.

And, of course, I had to mention this because it is ensential to the story, they couldn't have find out about all of this without Jake's help (Chris Wood). I kind of feel bad about him, to be honest. He's basically the only cop inside the cordon, so he must feel really alone and lost, apart from still being extremely mad at Lex for 'trapping' him inside the Cordon. 

I have to be honest with you guys, I still don't understand Jake 100%, which I guess is a good thing, since they've always said that Jake is a good guy, he just have some trouble showing it off, which we kind of see in the end of the episode, when he's so mad at Lex and all this situation that he punches a wall and, a little bit later, when he's talking to Katie saying that he's going somewhere else and she might stay in the hospital because she doesn't have anywhere else to go plus, she has a lot of kids with her that have their parents outside the cordon and, in that moment (well, a few minutes later) he decides to stay in the hospital with her to help her with the kids and such. (I hope you understood all this, because it seems a little bit confusing.) But, apart from all this, I'm loving the fact that he does have a lot of screen time, because I really missed seeing Chris Wood on my TV.

Besides all this, then there's Jana, who finds out that her friend Suzy is also trapped inside the Cordon, alongside with two other guys, and so they have to share the food they have in their work place and, basically, manage to stay alive during the 48 hours that the Cordon is up. 

Unfortunatelly (or not) we find out that, because of that girl that I talked in the beggining of the rant, they are going to keep the Cordon up for indetermined time. Basically, until everything is cleared out, which is going to end up in what we saw in the beggining of last week's episode.

And, well, that was basically it.

Not much happened but, at the same time, a lot happened. 

I enjoyed the episode and I'm really enjoying the series. I really can't wait to know how all of this is going to end, as well as how all of this started like, why is this all happening.

Tell me your thoughts in the comments and don't forget to check out the blog next week for a new rant.

Love,

Daniela

Containment | Season 1 Episode 1 - "Pilot"

Spoiler Alert!

Two days ago it was finally the premiere of Containment!

I've been waiting for this show for about an year and I can't believe it finally aired! And, obviously, I had to rant about because Chris Wood!

So, what I'm really here for...

I guess all of you already know what the show is about and this episode was basically just to get to know the story a little more and to get introduced to each character.

Basically a virus starts spreading in Atlanta and they have to put the city in quarantine, which causes a lot of problems. Not just the people inside the cordon are exposed to the virus and may be contaminated but also they end up apart from their loved ones.

One of the main characters in the series is Lex, portrayed by David Gyasi, who is the major from the Atlanta PD and ends up being the face of all of this, trying to keep the population 'calm'.

Lex is dating Jana (Christina Moses) who might probably be my favourite character so far in the series, as surprising as it sounds, because you might've think that Jake, Chris Wood's character, would be my favourite but, the truth is, his character is a little bit of a douche... Sometimes I get him and sometimes I don't... By the end of the episode I started liking him more and I can see a great development of his character so, I'm excited about that!

Anyways... Jana used to be Jake's girlfriend and now she's Lex's... Lex and Jake are best friends and work together at the Atlanta PD... It is kind of weird all of this, to be honest, but they seem to get all along well so... Let's see where this goes... Mostly, since both Jake and Jana are inside the cordon while Lex is outside... It's going to be intriguing, for sure!

Also inside the cordon is (probably) the character that I hate the most, Teresa, who is actually portraited by Chris Wood's real girlfriend, Hanna Mangan Lawrence. You might think that I just don't like her because she's Chris' girlfriend but I just find her character really annoying and I'm not even a litte bit excited for her storyline.

On the other hand, we have Katie, portraited by Kristen Gutoskie, who is a school teacher and is also inside the cordon and who is going to be Jake's love interest. 

When I saw the previews I really didn't like her character and I didn't ship them, but after this first episode I changed my mind. I actually think they look pretty cute and, since Jake is such a 'deep' character, I think it's going to be fun/exciting to see how they end up together, as well as their dynamic.

And, because there had to be someone looking for a cure, we have Dr. Victor Cannerts (George Young). I was kind of excited bout him but, to be honest, I didn't really like his character. Maybe it will get better but I just didn't find him 'exciting'... Let's see..

The last main character is Dr. Sabine Lommers (Claudia Black) who is outside the cordon, alongside with Lex and who is basically in charge of all of this. 

We didn't get to see more about everything because it is just the first episode, but I feel like this is going to be a good show and I'm actually really excited to see how all of this turns out. I'm kind of surprised that this series is on The CW but I'm glad that they created it, because it seems really different and exciting. I just have an issue... I don't see the series having more than 1 Season. They might come up with something else for Season 2 and 3 but... I just can't see it right now. Apart from that, great show, with great characters and actors so, I'm going to be waiting for a new episode every week and, of course, expect a new rant ever week as well.

So, yeah, this is my first thoughts in this new series. Let me know in the comments your thoughts. Who's your favourite character? Which are your thoughts on Chris Wood with this new character? Let me know everything! I'll see you just on Monday with a new TVD rant.

Love,
