The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 16 - "The Leftovers"

Spoiler Alert!

(Look how beautiful Bananas looks in my banner!)

Anyway...

Hello people!

Here I am with the new The Challenge rant (which I thought I wasn't going to post today but I did so congrats to me!).

I'm not going to waste any time and jump right into it! I really liked this episode, even though I was wrong with my prediction.

The episode actually started with that huge fight that was a big part of the episode. So, the story goes like this: they all go out for dinner, they eat a lot, everyone is pretending to be okay with each other, they get to the vans to get back to the house and... Tony throws away Cory's pasta (which was in a container). They then arrive at the house and, out of nowhere, Cory knocks out Tony. Tony was clearly wasted though but, this time, he didn't do anything and Cory went pretty low and just knocked him out, out of nowhere.

The rest of the night was focused on that. Then, as usual, the people involved in a 'fight' go to an hotel to clear their heads and then the drama moved to Bananas.

Bananas have been a target throughout this whole season and, as he said before, everyone has their limit and in this episode Devin really pushed them. Actually, despise what everyone might say, I applaud Bananas because he acted pretty well in this whole thing. Devin kept pushing him and Bananas actually tried to get away from him but Devin kept chasing him and it came to a point where Bananas had to use Devin's dad's death to just get rid of him. But, to be honest, he didn't even say anything that bad. The only thing that he did was say that he shouldn't be in the game but instead be at home with his family and such, which I don't think is that bad.

After that, things cleared a bit and in the next morning both Tony and Cory came back to the house. And then TJ appeared. Something had to be done so... Devin and Cory were sent home, just like that. What Cory did was really horrible and this was actually the right thing to do.

Also, this is great for Bananas' game so, that's also a plus.

Past all this, it was time for the week's challenge - Trivia.

I was really excited for this challenge because they usually are pretty bad at it but this time they surprised me and basically everyone did pretty well. I was also really happy with the outcome because Paulie and Natalie won and they're on Bananas' side so, I'm cool with how this is going.

Then the episode just ended but not before we see a preview for the next one. We got to see a lot of people and the only two teams that we didn't were Bananas/Tony and Ashley/Hunter. My guess is that all of Bananas' people are going to vote for Ashley and Hunter and they are probably going to choose to go against Bananas and Tony, just because... I doubt Ashley and Hunter win against them, and I sure hope they don't but, you never know. My prediction is that they are the ones to go to the redemption house. Also, they next challenge is a Purge challenge so, that's also going to be interesting.

Let me know your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you tomorrow with a new AHS rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Flash | Season 5 Episode 3 - "The Death of Vibe"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

Once again, here I am with a new The Flash rant! This time, I was able to watch the episode live again and that always makes me happy. Also, somehow, it always makes the episode more enjoyable.

I have to say, this episode wasn't anything special. It was okay, and I liked it, but there wasn't anything surprising nor that exciting. Yes, Tom Cavanagh was back with a different Wells but that wasn't enough for me. Plus, this Wells isn't that enjoyable (just like all the other Wells, to be honest, apart from HR) so, I don't know...

There was something else that I quite enjoyed about this episode, which was all the Ralph and Caitlin story-line. Caitlin and Ralph finally go to meet with Caitlin's mom and confront her about her husband's death certificate which she obviously denies she has anything to do with it. But Caitlin and Ralph are smarter and they go check the records and see if they find something else. They do find some stuff, including an old periodic table that Caitlin used do to/play with her father, alongside a letter from her dad confessing committing suicide. It was obvious to me that her mum must have put it in there for them to find. We don't know if that's case, but we do find out in the very end of the episode that Caitlin's dad left an hidden message in her periodic table telling her to go find him so that is huge and I'm really enjoying this story-line. What I'm not enjoying about this is that people are already shipping Ralph and Caitlin and, don't get me wrong, I love both characters, but I just can't see them together. I would be okay with it though, but I'm not rooting for it right now nor I'm shipping it.

Meanwhile all this is happening, the remaining members of Team Flash are dealing with Cicada.

I like that they are jumping straight into it and not wasting time. That's something new and I'm enjoying that.

Anyway so, the new Wells pinpoints Cicada as David Hersch, but is proven to be wrong when Cicada attacks Joe, looking for Cisco/Vibe.

We king of knew this was going to happen because it it the name of the episode, but they actually handled things quite well. 

Cicada does 'catch' Vibe and stabs him, breaking his arms in the process. But then, Nora has a plan (surprisingly). She makes it seem like Cisco died when, in fact, he used a breach machine instead of his hand in a way to escape. 

In the very end of the episode we learn that Cicada is a father, which we already kind of guessed, but that he is also a meta-human, which was surprising to me. We also see that he has a daughter which is in a coma.

I'm getting pretty convinced that this is all revenge because a meta-human must have done something to his daughter. I just don't know because, initially, I thought she was dead, but now we see that she's in a coma so... I'm curious to see why he's targeting metas and what's behind all this stuff. Also, it just occurred to me, what if it was him who did something to his daughter? What if he didn't want to be a meta and because he turned into a meta he injured his daughter and now he's angry with himself so he wants to kill all metas and then kill himself? That's just a thought that occurred to me.

Well, let me know your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you tomorrow with new rants!

Love,

Arrow | Season 7 Episode 2 - "The Longbow Hunters"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Here I am, today, with a new Arrow rant. Unfortunately, not a good one.

It really pains me to say (I hate saying bad stuff about my favorite series) but this episode was really boring. I was really hopeful after the first episode, which got me really pumped for this season but this episode... it really disappointed me.

Just like in last season, this episode was heavily focused on Diaz and I thought I was okay with having the same villain but, I guess I'm not. With this episode I realized I'm really tired of Ricardo Diaz and I just can't wait for him to disappear or go away or something. I guess I'm feeling just like Felicity - I can't wait to get rid of him.

Also, I never thought I would say this about Arrow but the (now) flash-forwards are the best thing right now. And, in this episode, was the only thing that got me excited. It's really amazing finding out where people are in the future and, in that department, they are doing things really well.

Something else that I quite enjoyed were the prison scenes. There's a reason why the show is called Arrow and there's a reason why Stephen Amell is the lead. His parts of the episode were the best and, although those guys at the prison are pissing me off, I'm also pretty interested in everything that is happening to Oliver while he's in prison. Also, I don't know if I mentioned this in my previous Arrow rant, but Oliver's new 'sidekick' he's from an horror movie that I really love so it's funny having him now in the show. And I'm liking it.

I don't know what else to say about this episode because, apart from what I've already mentioned, everything else was boring. I liked Felicity though, and that Rene and Curtis helped her. That was nice as well. I guess I kind of enjoyed Dinah and Black Siren, even though I still hate Black Siren and I am still annoyed that Katie Cassidy is still part of the cast. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against her (even though I don't particularly like her) but, to be me, it just makes Laurel's death pointless and I just can't. I just can't!

Okay guys, I'm sorry for this really short rant but, the truth is, this episode didn't do it for me so I don't have much to say about it. Hopefully the next one will be better.

Let me know your thoughts and I'll see you tomorrow with a new rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Flash | Season 5 Episode 2 - "Blocked"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys and welcome to the last rant of the week!

Finally I'm all caught up on the posts so that's always nice.

I know I took a little some time with this The Flash rant but I had so many other series to watch that I had to leave one for last, and this time it was The Flash. This episode wasn't as good as the first one, in my opinion, but it was really nice. It was full of different stories and I like when every single character has their own story, even if all of them have to get together to fight the bad guys (which isn't exactly true, and we saw it in this episode).

The episode actually started with Nora telling everyone that she's not really stuck and telling everyone about what is going to happen to Barry in the future. This was something nice because I'm tired of everyone keeping secrets so this was different and I liked it.

Then, like I said before, this focused on little story-lines from each character. I guess I'm going to start with my favorite (character, I mean) - Ralph. This episode showed me why I love Ralph so much! He's too cute! In every way!

His story-line was actually connected with Cisco and Caitlin. Ralph wanted to keep searching for Caitlin's dad but Cisco was still heartbroken from Gypsy, so they started on working on some steps (made by Ralph) to get over a break-up. This was really cute and I loved it! Then, we realize that Caitlin is dealing with her own issues as well and turns out she doesn't really want to find out if her dad is still alive because if he is, it means he didn't want to see her. Then, of course, they have some talks and I guess in the end everything works out and Cisco vibes and Caitlin sees her mum signing the death certificate, or at least, that's what it looked like.

At the same time as this was happening, Barry was also dealing with Nora. He started letting her spend a lot more time with him and even help him with the case of the week - which was a meta that manipulated atoms or something and was stealing high-tech weapons. Well, I'm not getting much into the small events but they do catch her and then that's when the most interesting part happens. Cicada appears and kills this meta as well as 'steals' or 'blocks' Barry, Cisco and Ralph's powers.

Well, back in STAR Labs, Iris let them know about her own investigation and, turns out, she has been investigating this Cicada guy and it also looks like Nora knows something about him as well, so this is going to be interesting. For once, Team Flash might be a little ahead because of Nora. Also, I need to point out that, when Nora and Cicada look at each other, it looks like they know one another so, I guess we're going to find more about that in the next episode.

Okay, I guess that's it for this episode.

Let me know your thoughts and predictions and I'll talk to you in my next rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 2 - "Gods and Monsters"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

Today I am here with the new Supernatural rant (the The Flash rant it's coming soon, I promise) and what an episode! 

Thank god I was right about Richard Speight Jr. saving this episode! And he really did! After last episode, my hopes were a little low, but I had faith in Richard and he did an amazing job with this episode. Unlike the previous one, this felt like a Supernatural episode. Everything was a lot more authentic and I loved the interactions between the characters and the whole story made a lot more sense and, overall, it was just so much better than and I truly loved it! Also, I got to watch the episode live (and live tweet) so that's always a plus.

Like I was saying, this episode touched a little bit on everything and we got development for basically all the characters. We saw Jack still struggling with not having powers, we see Jack and Cas have some really nice bonding moments and, overall, Jack was just a cutie this episode, mainly when he goes to visit his grandparents - that was such a sweet part of the episode.

We also get more development from Nick, seeing him still tormented by what Lucifer did using him and he even displays some aggressive and even Lucifer-like behavior, causing Castiel to suspect that Lucifer did more damage than they thought. This is even worse when Nick remembers that his wife and son were murdered and it never got solved, setting him off after revenge. Actually, the last scene that we see with Nick was a really alarming one with him going to his neighbor Arty, the only witness, for answers and then just killing him. I don't really know what to think about this, to be honest, but I kind of miss Lucifer so it's nice to have Mark Pellegrino not playing exactly Lucifer but a character somehow similar to him.

Then, there's the 'major' thing this season - Michael.

We see that he's still in Dean's body and that he has been experimenting on vampires, feeding them angel grace in a way to form some type of enhanced monster.

Michael's experiments draw the attention of Sam, Bobby and Mary who investigate while Michael makes a deal with a pack of werewolves to create this enhanced monsters and wipe out the human race.

Also, turns out Michael created a trap and then this enhanced monsters attack Sam, Mary and Bobby, making them realize that they are immune to silver but not to decapitation. After the fight, Dean suddenly arrives with Michael no longer inside him. Dean explains that Michael left his body on his own, but he doesn't know why.

To be honest, my first thought was that Michael was playing them, but after watching the preview for next episode, I guess this really is Dean and Michael must have a much bigger plan. Also, I don't know how I feel about being really Dean. I mean, I really missed Dean and I much prefer Jensen as Dean then as Michael, but it seemed too easy. I don't know...

Let me know your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you soon with the new The Flash rant!

Love,

Daniela.

American Horror Story: Apocalypse | Season 8 Episode 6 - "Return to Murder House"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

The wait is over! The long awaited Murder House episode is here and it did not disappoint!

I have to say, I had really big expectations about this episode! Murder House is one of my favorite seasons and I'm that basic girl who loves Tate and Violet so, I just couldn't wait for this. Well, I can't say it exceeded my expectations, because it didn't, but it did not disappoint either. The episode was exactly what I was expecting. Yes, there was some stuff that I would never guess, just like the Moira part of the story, but like the Tate and Violet stuff, as well as the Tate and Michael 'encounter', I knew those things were going to happen.

Anyway, the episode starts with Madison and Behold buying the Murder House, just like some people predicted. Right away they felt something odd about the place. Then, they moved to cast a spell in order to make the spirits of the house show themselves. The first thing that they see is Tate and Ben talking, and Tate asking Ben for him to talk to Violet in a way to make her talk to him (Tate). After them, they encounter Constance, who agrees to talk to them if they banish Moira's ghost from the house, permanently. This, as I guess, must have been one of people's favorite thing, seeing Jessica Lange back. I myself couldn't really care that much. Her characters never were my favorites. Although, I did understand that she was going to be major for this episode and for this story so, I guess I was happy to see her back.

So, Madison and Behold do as Constance asked and set Moira free. Constance then starts telling them her story with Michael.

She says that she sensed something evil about him from the very beginning. In his youth, he began killing animals and then moved to his babysitter, just like we saw in the end of Murder House. In that moment, she thought she was raising a serial killer. But then, Michael ages ten years overnight, and so Constance asks for a priest's help, who then Michael ends up killing. It's in that moment that Constance realizes that sooner or later she's going to die on the hands of Michael, so she decides to go to the Murder House and kill herself there, where she then is reunited with her children, Tate, Beauregard and a little girl with no eyes.

After talking to Constance, Madison and Behold then go to talk to Ben, who tells them about all the times that he spent with Michael, treating him like his own son. This was something pretty sweet, actually. And I really liked to see a vulnerable side from Michael. You know, I'm a sucker for bad guys who are vulnerable and Michael is no exception. You could see in those moments that he's not actually evil, but that he became evil overtime and with what happened next.

It's then Vivien who tells Madison and Behold that a cult appeared in the house, looking for Michael. One of the members being Ms. Mead. They then to some type of satanic spell or something and that's when we see Michael turn to the dark side.

In the end, Vivien tells them that Michael's father is neither Ben nor Tate, but the evil of Murder House. 

And, in the very end, before leaving, Madison reunited Tate and Violet, which was, to be honest, the reason why most people were excited for this episode.

Before I end, I also need to mention that Sarah Paulson was the one to direct this episode and I quite liked what she did with the episode. It wasn't anything 'amazing' but it had the American Horror Story feel that I like so, good job.

I don't really have much predictions for next episode, to be honest. I do think that the next one is still going to be a 'flashback' and just after that we are going to go back to present time and really fight Michael. In the next episode we are probably going to find out more about the whole Mallory, Coco and Dinah stuff so, I'm curious about that. And, just a side note, I take back what I said in my last rant. I still think Murder House is the Sanctuary. This episode kind of made me make 'sure' of it because they did perform that satanic ritual or something in there so... Maybe it is the Sanctuary?! I don't know, but I'm going to keep that predictions.

Okay, I guess this is it. Let me know what you thought of this so awaited episode and which are your predictions for the next ones. We are nearly in the end so, how do you guys think this is all going to end? Personally, I hope Michael wins, but that's just me.

I'll see you tomorrow with new rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Arrow | Season 7 Episode 1 - "Inmate 4587"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

I am finally here with the rant of Arrow's new season!

Well, I have to say, I was quite scared of this episode. After Supernatural's season premiere, which I didn't like, I was really afraid I wasn't going to like Arrow's as well, mainly because both series have been airing for quite some time and they are basically dealing with the same issue - changing things up, and you already know how I feel about changing. Even more with two of my favorite series!

Luckily, I did enjoy this episode and I'm quite curious for the rest of the season. It looks like them changing show runners was a good thing and I'm liking where this is going.

We get into this season five months after what happened last season. We see Oliver in prison, trying to keep a low profile in order to get his sentence reduced. We also see that this is extremely difficult because, not only people keep provoking him because they all know now that he's the Green Arrow, but also because there's Diaz's associates inside the prison who also want him to loose his temper.

Meanwhile, Felicity and William try to cope with witness protection program while Diggle and ARGUS keep looking for Diaz.

Something also starts happening in Star City, or should I say, someone. A knew vigilante dressed as Green Arrow appears and takes down some arms trafficking operations. This was something interesting, one of the best things in this episode.

With Diaz still alive, I was pretty curious about who would they have as a 'bad guy' this season. Where they going to keep Diaz as the bad guy? Are they introducing another bad guy and still have Diaz around? My bet was the first thing, and I still think it's the thing that it's going to happen, but now they introduced a new element (or should I say, two) and, I don't know about you, but my first thought was that this archer guy was Roy. I was half right, I guess. We already knew that Colton Haynes was back to the show and I saw in an interview that he said that he was going to come back in a 'weird' way. Well, now that I think about it... I guess I'm a bit confused with this whole thing. Maybe they will do some intertwining with The Flash... I don't know, but I'm going to jump straight into the end because it was the most interesting part.

The episode actually ended with a 'flashback' (or so I thought). We see someone go to Lian Yu and then get captured. We then find out that Roy is in the island, he was the one who captured this guy and, turns out, this guy is none other then William! Which makes this not a flashback but a flash-forward! This is huge for Arrow because they have never done this, so I'm quite excited! At the same time, I'm confused because if William is the archer guy that his in Star City right now, as an adult, does that mean that he came to the past?! Or his this archer guy Roy? I don't know, but I hope to find out answers soon.

This archer guy also raises a lot of questions in the remaining Team Arrow. While Rene kind of trusts him and thinks that he's doing what's right (which I kind of agree), Dinah doesn't agree with Rene and is set to arrest him.

Well, and I guess that's pretty much it.

Although the beginning of the episode wasn't that great, it came around and by the end I was really excited! Loved that last 'fight scene' with Oliver in prison and then, of course, the flash-forward was something really unexpected! Congrats Arrow!

Now, let me know your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you later with the new AHS rant (which I'm so excited about)!

Love,

Daniela.
