The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 6 - "The Mile-High Club"


Spoiler Alert!

So, it's time for a new The Challenge rant and, unfortunately, I have to say the same thing that I said in my last the Challenge rant, it wasn't good... I would even say that it was worse than the last one.
You remember that last episode I didn't like it because they focused too much on the drama.
Well, they did the same in this episode.
And I would say it had even more drama than the previous one.
In this episode we only had the nominations and the elimination and, that's it!
I watch The Challenge because I like to see them compete, not have all that drama. If I wanted that, I would watch Big Brother or something... Not The Challenge. Ok, we also need a bit of drama but not focus more than 20 minutes on it... Drama should be a small part of the episode, not the main thing. Hopefully, next episode, will be like a 'normal one' with a challenge, the nominatons and the elimination and just a tiny bit of drama.
Anyway... Since we only had the nominations and elimination in this episode, let's talk about that...
So, Shane ended up being picked to face Tony and Kailah was picked to go against Sylvia and... The outcome was kind of predictable.
I have to say that I was pretty torn in both...
I'm kind of team Tony, just because I like Jenna and I don't really like any of the other members of the other Team, but I hate Kailah, so I was not rooting for her. But I'm not the biggest fan of Sylvia either so... I was kind of torn.
I have to say that I was kind of happy withthe outcome... Sylvia won. It was really predictable, to be honest. She has always been the weakest link so... It was kind of obvious she was going to win.
In the guys round, I never really liked Tony, but I've started to like him a little bit more, since he changed, but at the same time I also really like Shane so, once again, I was torn.
Shane ended up win, which was a tiny bit predictable as well, but not as much as Sylvia winning. 
Still, I was pretty happy with the outcome because I like Shane so...
And yeah, that was pretty much it...
Like I said, this episode didn't have much so I don't have much to talk about. Also, I don't care that much about the drama so... I'm not going to coment on it.
So, that's it guys.
Hope you liked this rant. I know it's a little bit shorters but yeah, you know the drill.
Let me know your thoughts about the episode and I'll see you in my next rant.
Love,
Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 10 - "By the Light of Dawn"


Spoiler Alert!

Finally a pretty good shadowhunters episode!
Ok, there were still some big problems with the episode and some really cringy moments but, overall, I'm really satisfied with how the Part A of the season ended. And, just like I told my sisters, it seemed like the writers of this episode fixed everything that the writers of previous episode screwed so, major props to this writters - Darren Swimmer & Todd Slavkin!
So, we had a lot in this episode! Everything went around the Soul Sword and the fact that Valentine wanted Clary to activate it and yeah, I'm so glad we past over this and that we are finally Valentine free! Yes, not wanting to skip ahead but, we finally got Valentine locked up and from now on we are going to deal with a much better (I hope) villain, but I'll talk more about that later.
This episode involved basically everyone. Valentine 'kidnapped' Simon so, obviously, Clary wanted to get him back, but that's when she and Jace find Dot who tells them that Valentine said that Jace is the one that can destroy the Sword, because he has demon blood. They take Dot to Magnus' place and that's when both Clary and Jace show him the vision that the angel gave them, to which Magnus confirms that it's a Morgenstern that is going to destroy the sword.
We already know by now that Jace isn't Valentine's son or Clary's brother or anything, so we know this isn't really true. What we don't know is that, after making an huge plan to get the sword destroyed, and after getting all the downworlders to help them, Jace touches the sword and, instead, he activates it.
Valentine then appears and kills all the downworlders that were in the Institute, where he was hidding, and then disappears.
Luckily, Simon, who was also in the room, doesn't die and that's because of what happened earlier - Simon drank Jace's blood.
I also already knew this, because it is in the books. Jace's blood did something to Simon and not only he didn't die, but he now became the only vampire that can walk in the sun, each is super cool, in my opinion.
But, my all time favourite scene in this episode had to be... The Malec Scene, obviously!
Magnus was also in the Institute when all of this happened, so Alec was so worried about him. Obviously we knew that they wouldn't kill Magnus, but when Alec saw him... It was just so cute! And then... Alec said he loved him! Omg, like this couldn't get any better!
Plus, the writters also got rid of Raphael and Izzy's relationship so... That's also great! 
And yeah, that was basically it!
In the end, we see someone with the Soul Sword (after it disappearing when Valentine and Jace were fighting) and, you know what this means?! Sebastian! 
Seriously, I didn't even read the books and I'm so excited about Sebastian! I mean, first, I love the name 'Sebastian', and that's one of the reasons why I'm excited (I know, dumb, but yeah), second, I've heard that he's like real bad and only cares about himself and, that kind of reminds me of Kai, from TVD, and you know how I love him so... I suspected I'm going to love Sebastian, and third, Will Tudor is a real hottie so... All good things!
Anyway, that's all for now!
The second part of the season will only start in June so, Shadowhunters rants only in June. But, until then, I'm going to keep on posting other rants so, if you only read my Shadowhunters rants, give a go to some of the other series, you might like it.
Love,
Daniela.

Arrow | Season 5 Episode 15 - "Fighting Fire with Fire"


Spoiler Alert!

I know, once again, super duper late with this update, so let's not talk about it and just move on to the actual episode.
I gotta say that I have so many mixed feelings about this episode.
Overall, it was great, but I think it was a bit anti-climatic. At least, for me. And, I also think they are 'playing' us, but I'll talk more into depth about that later.
So, we basically begin where the last episode left off, with Oliver's impeachment process beginning and with Adrian serving as his attorney.
Right away I got happy with this episode because it was obvious that we would have a lot more of Adrian and you know, I just love him and, to be completely honest, I can't get over how hot Josh Segarra is (sorry not sorry).
Then, comes the 'juicy' part of the episode - Vigilante and Prometeus.
That's right, we had both in this episode! Basically Vigilante is trying to kill Oliver because he's corrupted, but then Prometheus tries to stop because he wants to be him to 'kill' Oliver/Green Arrow and that's when the big reveal (or so we think) of the episode happens - We see that Adrian is Prometheus!
I gotta say, I has half shockec and half in denial.
I was in shock because I always thought that Adrian was Vigilante, just like most of the fans, and I was also in denial, which I still am, because Adrian just can't be Prometheus. He just can't! Sure this was a surprise for most people, but it doesn't really make sense and, if they keep going with it, and he is in fact Prometheus I'm going to be so disappointed.
I predicted something really big like Tommy was Prometheus or something like that, so this was disappointing to me.
Moving on... In this episode we also see a lot of the 'bad side' of people, such as Felicity and Thea who try to blackmail someone, again, to stop Oliver's impeachment.
But, on the other had, we had Curtis, who has a really good storyline in this episode, not only with his technology and all, which helped to track Vigilante and almost get him, but also with his husband, Paul, which was pretty sad the ending. I felt really bad for Curtis... He's for sure one of my favourite characters on Arrow.
And that wasn't the only sad part of the episode. I also felt really bad about Oliver talking 'shit' about the Green Arrow so he could change people's mind and the council to vote against impeachment.
Although the council voted against impeachment, Thea resigns from Oliver's administration and this, to me, looks like two things. One, she really needs some time because, to be honest, I haven't been liking her character like I used to, and two, she might be Prometheus. I know that it was 'revealed' in this episode who Prometheus is but... I don't buy it! I just don't! And to make me feel even more like that was just to trick us (viewrs) the next scene happens, when Adrian goes to Susan Williams saying that he needs an interview and that's a life or death thing. This, to me, seemed like someone threatened him and made him 'be' Prometheus or something, so it isn't really him. I might just be really in denial but... I don't like this. But one thing is for sure, Adrian isn't Prometheus, which is also a bummer.
And, to finish, I need to talk about Felicity, who finally agrees to join, secretly, the Helix, which I didn't like one bit! I don't like what Felicity is becoming. Sure she's a stronger character but, just like Diggle said, I liked the 'caring' and 'loving' Felicity and I'm not liking where they are going with her character.
Ok, that's it guys...
As you can see, a lot of strong feelings about this episode. But this kind of means that the episode is good, right?!
Also, I didn't say anything about the flashbacks because I don't think they really mattered. They were a bit pointless in this episode, although I do like to see Anatoly's story and all.
Anyway, let me know what you thought about the episode. Do you really think that Adrian is Prometheus? Tell me everything!
I'll see you tomorrow with a new 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.

Supernatural | Season 12 Episode 14 - "The Raid"


Spoiler Alert!

Back with a new Supernatural rant!
But first I need to say I'm sorry because I told you that I was going to post yesterday but I just didn't have the time so the rants that I still have to post (The Flash and Arrow) will be up a little bit later. 
So, now that I've talked about this, let's get into the proper episode.
Finally we got more in depth about the whole British Men of Letter storyline, which I was really hoping we would in this episode. Although I didn't like the ending, it was really interesting and in some cases really exciting to see/know more about Mr. Ketch and Mick.
We start the episode right where the other ended, with Mary and the boys kind of fighting about the fact that Mary have been working with the BMOL to which the boys, obviously, get mad and sad about her.
Then, after a few days, Sam gives up and goes to meet with Mary at the facility that the British Men of Letters are right now. That was also another pretty interesting thing to see because we never really saw where the British Men of Letters have been staying so it was nice to finally see all that.
So, Mary asks Sam to stay for the day so she can show him that what the BMOL have been doing works so they start on showing what they have been doing, reducing a lot the vampires in part of the US. 
Meanwhile, Mr. Ketch visits Dean, who is still pissed, at the bunker. Mr. Ketch tells Dean that they are alike and then takes him on a vampire hunt, the vampire hunt that the British Men of Letters are planning at their facility.
When Mr. Ketch and Dean arrive at the nest, they only find a girl who tells them that the vampires went after the hunters, which meant they went to the BMOL's facility.
Moving on to the facility, the vampires arrive there, led by the Alpha, and kill a bunch of the Men of Letters.
Since none of them, apart from Sam and Mary, have ever killed something, they realize that they are in real trouble, and that's the moment Mary realizes that they need a special weapon, telling Mick that they need... The Colt! I really wasn't expecting Sam to find out so soon about the colt but it was so good! That was one o my favourite scenes of this episode. That, and one of the next scenes, when the Alpha Vampire appears to them and Sam ends up shooting him and killing him with a bullet on the head. That was such a good scene! Loved it!
But then, comes the part that I didn't like. Sam decided to join the Men of Letters. I really don't like this. It's so obvious that there's something sketchy about them. I just don't understand why can't they see it! Hopefully Dean doesn't agree with this! Seriously, my hope is all in Dean! Let's pray they don't get too much into his head, because I know it's going to be hard and Sam is going to try his best to make him join them.
And yeah... Next episode is going to be so good! We are going to have Dean with glasses, which is so hot, Dean is going to work with Crowley, Cas is back, we are going to have more of Mark Pellegrino and the OG Lucifer and It's going to be an hellhound episode! So, a lot to look forward.
Hope you guys liked the rant and let me know what you thought about the episode!
I'll see you in my next rant.
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 5 - "Underdog Eat Underdog World"


Spoiler Alert!

Back with a new The Challenge rant!
I gotta say, I had a pretty hard time finding a stream to watch the episode to be able to post the rant today, but I did (actually, it was my sister who found it, but yeah) so here I am with it!
This episode wasn't, in my opinion, as good as the previous one.
Once again, they focused too much on the drama and a lot less on the actual challenges, to the point that we only saw one challenge and, that was it. And, to had to that, moth Champs team (which is the team that I'm rooting for) lost the challenge so... I didn't really like it, but yeah, let's talk about what changed.
So, me and my sister kind of predicted what happened. The Underdogs and the Champs were split in to both those teams and are going to face each other on the challenges from now one, but the elimination changed. It's going to be one week an Underdogs eliminaton, and another week a Champs elimination, and so on and so one. Which means that it's not who wons the challenge who goes into the elimination.
In my opinion, this way isn't really fair, because the Champs are always going to be outnumbered. But yeah... Also, who wins the challenge wins money to their bank account, so this is basically like the Cuthroat season, in which each team won money to their bank account with each challenge that they win. And, in this challenge, who made the first score, in both the girls round and the guys round would choose, the girl, one guy, and the guy, one girl, to go in to elimination.
And, for this episode, was basically it, and that's why I didn't really enjoy this episode.
The rest of the episode was focused on all the drama between the Underdogs team who now have to choose another guy and girl for elimination, and also drama between all the couples that existed or that are forming right now, which are a few.
Also, we still don't know who else is going to elimination and didn't even get to see the actual elimination so... It was a week episode. The only thing good about it was the fact that we have the Champs back and I can't wait to see them actual kick some asses, because they were kind of weak in this challenge.
But, I must say, this was basically made on purpose so the Underdogs would look good. This game was made for, who had the most players, to win so... Since the Champs were outnumbered... They lost. The boys still had a big fight and I am actually happy about them although they didn't win, but the girls.. They were weak.
Anyway, this is my week's rant... Hope you guys enjoyed it and I'll see you tomorrow with two new rants!
Love,
Daniela.

Arrow | Season 5 Episode 14 - "The Sin-Eater"


Spoiler Alert!

Back for another (really late) Arrow rant.
This was actually a pretty good episode. Not my favourite, but really nice because we had a lot of girl power in this one.
We have already seen by the previews that we would have three female bad guys back for this episode so this was already a sign of real girl power, but it wasn't just that. We also had some action with Susan Williams, Thea and Felicity. And I guess a little bit from Dinah as well.
The episode started with Oliver finding Prometheus's alleged mother, who refuses to help him. We don't touch more on that subject this episode and move on to a scene where Chien, Carrie and Warner, during a prison transfer, kill the guards and escape. And then we see Oliver appointing Dinah as an SCPD Officer. 
Then, we start getting into the real episode, who had two major problems, the three women that escaped and the fact that the police discovered that the Green Arrow killed detective Malone and go after him.
The Green Arrow does found the three woman but they get away because of the ACU. Oliver then assumes that it was Prometheus who gave the information to the police.
Then, we move on to another girl power moment of this episode. So, turns out Susan confronts Oliver about being the Green Arrow, to which he denies. Thea gets still a bit suspicious so asks Felicity for help and so they insert in Susan's computer some proof that she commited plagiarism. Susan gets angry and confronts Oliver who confronts Thea. 
Then, Oliver reveals the cover-up of Billy's death to Pike who then helps him, as the Green Arrow, to catch the three women that are still on the loose.
But then, we finish the episode with the media finding about the cover up leading to Oliver's impeachment.
And yeah, that was basically it for this episode.
Like I said, not the best one, but it had some cool episodes and I'm actually pretty curious to see what's going to happen next with Oliver.
Anyway, that's it guys.
I know, another really short rant but I'm kind of in a hurry so yeah.. I'm sorry.
Still, let me know your thoughts about the episode and I'll see you later with some more rants.
Love,
Daniela.
