Shadowhunters | Season 3 Episode 9 & 10 - "Familia Ante Omnia" & "Erchomai"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Here it is, finally, the midseason rant of Shadowhunters.

As you might know, this was a two hour finale which means this rant will cover both episodes 9 and 10. This might end up a bit confusing since I saw both episodes in a row and I can't quite remember what happened in first one so, if I focus a lot more on the second episode, I'm sorry, but it was the one that stood out to me the most.

I'm going to try and talk first about episode 9 but I don't promise anything. So, the first episode basically showed everyone dealing with different things at the same time.

I might say that the story that I liked the most, and the one that I felt for the most was Simon. Obviously Heidi had to came back to mess things up and screw with Simon. It was really painful to see Simon go through all those things and then bite his own sister, as well as his mum wanting to kill him because Simon just isn't like that so I really felt for him.

Of course the other thing that was major in episode 9 was Valentine. We see Clary almost getting killed by the Clave but then working out a plan. She resurects Valentine in order to know why Lilith wanted his body and that's how she finds out everything about Jonathan. I was quite happy that Valentine was killed (again) in the end because we can't just go back to old storylines. That doesn't work for me. At least, not this way. Supernatural does it quite well, to be honest, but I don't trust Shadowhunters to do that so, just stick to the books, please.

Oh, and I have to mention Magnus and his quest to try and save Jace which continues on episode 10.

I'm going to take this and move to episode 10 right away.

I have to say that episode 9 was good and episode 10 was so much better! It wasn't surprising, I don't think they wanted that since they titled the episode "Erchomai" but it was well done and it had a solid storyline.

Since we were on Magnus topic, in episode 10 he goes to Edom to talk to his father, Asmodeus, and ask for help. This was the first time seeing Magnus dad so it was interesting.

At the same time, basically everyone was dealing with Lilith and Jace.

Before the final battles, I might add, we had some pretty cute Sizzy moments and I hope they develop them in the second part of the season because, truth be told, I'm just tired to wait for Sizzy to happen.

Izzy helps Simon with the issues with his mum and this gets even worse that in the last episode when Simon compels his mum to just forget him and believe that he died, which was so sad.

Unfortunatelly, he couldn't be sad that long because they had to deal with Lilith and since he's the only one that can send her back to Edom, he has to be there. Plus, when he finds out that Lilith has Clary he just agrees right away.

Izzy, Alec, Simon and Luke work on a plan to get inside the building where Lilith is but without hurting anyone nor Jace, since Simon's mark can kill basically everyone without him doing anything.

Their plan is actually pretty good - Alec vs Jace, Izzy and Luke vs all the 'demons' and Simon rescuing Clary.

I might say that the most nerve wrecking part was Alec vs Jace because, although Magnus appears just in time to bring the old Jace back, Jace as the Owl had already stabbed Alec and Magnus couldn't do anything because he trade his magic in order for his father to help bring Jace back. So, we are left with Alec dead. I would say that this death isn't premanent but... You never know.

As far as all the other 'fights', Izzy and Luke were quite good but they weren't the major thing and then Simon and Clary. Obviously we knew that Jonathan was going to be back and that Lilith was going away so... That's what happened. Lilith basically linked Jonathan to Clary so, as long as Clary lives, Jonathan lives too, which I'm quite happy, to be honest. But Simon ends up using his mark on Lilith and she's sent back to Edom (I think) and we see Jonathan grabbing Clary's wrist in the end, before the explosion that Simon's mark created.

Then, when Jace arrives at the top of the building, neither Clary nor Jonathan are there so... 

Simon says that she died but do you truly believe that?! Because I don't so, let's see what they do in the second part of the season.

Overall, I liked this ending. Not major nor surprising but it was good and, obviously, I'm so stoked to see Jonathan again! Can't wait for that!

Ok, let me know what you thought and also, tell me if this accurate and follows the book. I would love to know that.

I'll see you next week with The Flash's season finale!

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 3 Episode 7 - "Salt in the Wound"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

Here I am, as promised with the next Shadowhunters rant. I'm still not going to be able to post episode 8's but I'll post it tomorrow, I promise!

Anyway so, this episode wasn't as good as the last one, in my opinion, but it still had some good stuff. Truth is, the first part of the season is almost ending so there's no time to lose, right?

The best things about this episode, I believe were the Maia and Jordan flashbacks.

That's right Kyle really is Jodar (Jordan Kyle) and I wasn't delusional. I was almost 100% sure that this guy was Maia's ex boyfriend but when he introduced himself as Kyle I just got really confused. Turns out I was right. So, Maia finally learns about him, as well as Simon finds out who he really is and, because of that, we see a lot of Maia/Jordan flashbacks. It was actually really interesting to see how everything started and, although they weren't as good as Arrow's flashbacks, in terms of edition and stuff, they were pretty good and, like I said, probably the best part of the episode.

Of course the other part of the episode that was somehow interesting and exciting was the whole thing with Jace. Clary finally told Simon, Alec and Izzy what she did and everything that happened because of that and after that and so they decide to come up with a way to 'save' Jace. They also learn about Lilith and that she's the mother of all demons so it's going to be really hard to defeat her as well as save Jace. Izzy, being head of the armoury knows about a device that was never used that can trap a greater demon so they go to Alicante to get that device.

In the meantime, Lilith also asks Jace to go t Alicante to get Valentine's body and that's where basically everything happens.

Izzy, Alec and Clary go to Alicante, talk to Imogen and she gets them the device that they need. As they leave, Jace arrives and basically kills Imogen. Luckily, she has time to send Alec a message and so the trio go after Jace. They do get to trap him but Clary stays behind to create some 'distraction' (another dumb thing that Clary does, nothing new) and that's when the episode ends - with Clary going to prison. I think that was just unecessary because if she was able to send Jace, Alec and Izzy through a portal why couldn't she go as well?! Doesn't make sense.

The other thing that we see happen in this episode is Luke and Simon finding Lilith's lair and Simon killing two 'demons' with hi forehead thing, which is becoming more and more interesting, to be honest.

Well, I guess that's pretty much it for this episode.

I'm quite excited to watch the new one because I've read something about someone leaving (I don't if it's leaving the show or just leaving New Yorker in the show) but I'm curious about that.

Let me know your thoughts on this episode and please, no spoilers about the new one because I'm only going to be able to watch it tomorrow.

Also, I thought I was able to watch The Flash's new episode today but it's getting late here in Portugal so I won't be able anymore so, The Flash and Shadowhunters for tomorrow.

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 3 Episode 6 - "A Window Into an Empty Room"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

It's finally here! That's right, I'm finally doing the Shadowhunters rants that I owe you! But, like I said in my previous rant, I might not be able to do all three so, just be aware.

Anyway, I'm actually happy with this episode. Not that the characters were great, they were fine but not the best that they have been, but because they finally did something that I've been wanting since the beginning of the season - get rid of some characters that weren't important at all!

So, the episode actually begins with kind of a fight between Magnus and Alec about that box, again. Personally, I thought they were fine about that but I guess they weren't, and that was a major thing for the rest of the episode. Not that they have made it a big part of it, but it made all the other evenst possible, like all the hang out with Maryse. Yes, Maryse is back for this episode and she's basically the one that makes everything in this episode possible.

It's because of her that her, Alec, Izzy and Jace go out and Magnus and Clary start working on something else. 

After Jace is 'back' from the City of Bones (which he wasn't really) Clary notices something odd about him so she goes to Magnus for help. She tells him about everything that happened with the angel and the demon that appeared and then about Jace, to which Magnus sends a message to someone he knows to help them. They agree to meet and that's when they find about everything. They find out from brother Zacariah that Jace has never been in the City of Bones and Magnus puts all the pieces together and remembers that odd woman that went to him for the love spell, and that's when they realize that she must be the demon that killed the angel and that is controlling the Owl. They also predict that something is wrong with Jace so they go after him. That's when they find the Owl attacking the police woman (I think her name is Ollie, I can't really remember) and the Owl aka Jace is able to 'kill' her and that's when Jace, Luke and Magnus find out that Jace is actually the Owl.

At the same time all of this is happening, the vampire that Simon 'created' comes back to cause some trouble. Luckily, Simon takes care of it and, in the end, she is sent away for 'rehab'.

All this means that we are really going to focus on the main issues now so I think the episodes are going to be good from now on.

Let me know what you thought (even though I know this episode aired weeks ago) and I'll see you next with episode 7.

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 3 Episode 5 - "Stronger Than Heaven"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

A little later than what I expected but here it is, just as promised, the new Shadowhunters rant.

I don't know if that's because I already have so low expectations about the show but this episode was surprisingly good! That's right, I said good. It wasn't like the best episode I've ever watched but, unlike in the previous ones, this had a good storyline, with not many things going on, but still with three different things happening and just really good character development which is something that I quite enjoy.

So, like I said, this episode focused mainly on three things (four if you count the Izzy mini storyline). I'm going to start with the easiest, which was Malec. Nonetheless, it was great and, as always, some of the best parts of the episodes. In this episode they just dealt with some jelousy and the fact that Magnus has some type of box with stuff from his previous relationships as well as he doesn't want to rush things up and move on with Alec, which was what Alec wanted. I gues there's going to be more problems with those two, since that's what happens in the books but, for now, they are 'good'. Not great because in the end of the episode we see Alec still down about the whole thing so that's kind of a hint that more stuff is about to happen but, since we're already on episode 5, I don't know if they're going to focus a lot on that. I mean, the truth is, Malec has been a big part of this season and they have been huge in every single episode so, I might be wrong. Who knows?

Anyway, the second main storyline in this episode was the whole Simon thing. Jace goes to him for some odd reason and they find out that Kyle isn't who he said he was and that he's in fact a wolf, which we already knew, but not just a random wolf. A wolf that protects others or something like that. They didn't explain it that well but I guess it's pretty simple. Of course Simon is mad about that, with reason but in the end of the episode he takes Kyle's apology and they are kind of fine. I'm still pretty confused about Kyle because I actually thought he was Maia's ex-boyfriend, even though I'm pretty sure she said his name was Jordan. I don't, I'm really confused. If you know anything about this or have any predictions just let me know, please.

And lastly, the main story of this episode was Clary trying to talk to Ithuriel. In order to do that, she goes to Luke asking to talk with his sister Cleophas and, in doing so, she tells Luke about everything that happened to Jace. It was about time she told someone, right? Anyway, they go to Cleophas but she says that she can't really talk to the angels since what happened with Valentine. But Cleophas thinks Clary can talk to Ithuriel since she has his blood in her veins so they do some type of ritual or something and Clary is, in fact, able to talk to him. The angel tells her that Jace isn't like that because of what she did but, because of that, he's vulnerable to a lot of things. Clary thinks right away about the Owl and that's when Ithuriel says that the Owl has a master and, as he's about to say it's name, Lilith kills the angel and takes a scratch of Clary's soul in order to put it in a anti-love spell to give Jace.

In the end, Lilith give it to Jace and that's it. Jace no longer loves Clary. 

Like I said, overall, this episode looked good. It was interesting and it kept the story going without mixing too many things, which is what I've complaint in the past episodes.

Let me know what you thought about the episode and I'll see you tomorrow with new Arrow and Supernatural rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 3 Episode 4 - "Thy Soul Instructed"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

Just as promised here I am with the Shadowhunters rant.

Well, you might have already guessed what I'm about to say - yes, this wasn't a great episode.

I know I keep saying the same damn things but, the truth is, they keep getting it wrong. Just like in the last episode, this one had too much going on and some stuff weren't really that well explained. This time, I gotta say, the only thing that I kind of liked was Kyle who, I don't know if I'm wrong but isn't him Maia's ex-boyfriend? I don't know, I'm a bit confused. Let me know what you know about that.

Well, overall, I feel like all the characters have been really bad this season, apart from Alec and Magnus. I feel like Maled is the best thing in Shadowhunters right now. Not only their relationship is so beautiful and pure but also Matt and Harry's is the best of all the cast. I might also say that I've been liking Luke, athough he's not really that major right now. But I feel like he does what his character is supposed to do and, from the ending of this episode, is seems like something major is happening/going to happen between him, Kyle and Simon so, let's see where this goes.

I would also say that Dominic has also been doing a great job with this Jace, I'm just not a fan of how everything is going with his character and the storyline. Like I said in my previous rant, I feel like they're going too fast with this storyline and, once again, I know that they have to move on with the story because in episode 10 Sebastian/Jonathan is reborn but... They could spend more time devolopping the storyline, instead of filling the episodes with other not so important and not well written stories like, for example, Raphael's story.

Raphael's story was the worst thing in this episode! Besides it being like completely out of nowhere, they didn't explain it at all! I was so lost when that girl was talking about what he did to her because they never really explained or showed it. This was probably an editing mistake but it was an huge mistake and maybe that's the reason why, in the end, the girl just left and Izzy just told Raphael to go away.

Oh, talking about Isabelle... I'm also really disappointe with her character. Not that it's Emeraude's fault, it isn't! She's an amazing actress but the way the writters are writting her character is just wrong! I didn't read the books but, from what I've seen people talking about, Izzy in the books is way cooler and more badass and this Izzy is just dull. Plus, where is Sizzy?! I have no idea where they come up in the book but everyone is waiting for it and I feel like the writters just don't want to give it to us so... Yeah, this writters are awful!

Well, I guess that's pretty much it. Simon is also one of those characters that I'm enjoying, alongside with Magnus and Alec and, I know I didn't mention Clary but don't even get me started! I feel like she was better on Season 2 but in this season she's back to being annoying... I'm sorry, that's just my opinion.

Anyway, let me know your thoughts on the season so far and I'll see you tomorrow with new Arrow and Supernatural rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 3 Episode 3 - "What Lies Beneath"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

As I said, here I am with a new Shadowhunters rant.

Well, unfortunately, I can't say that this episode was as good as the last one, because it wasn't. I would say it was as good as the first one. Like I said in my first Season 3 review, I thought this episode had too many stories going on and, because all the lore that the show is already based on, it was  bit difficult to keep track of everything. Plust, there's some things from previous seasons that I don't remember anymore and just throw things and they should really just explain a bit more, in my opinion.

Anyway so, this episode keeps going with all the dreams that Jace have been having and he finally tells everything to Clary. To be honest, I thought they would drag this out a little longer but, truth is we only have 10 episodes with that storyline because, after that, Jonathan/Sebastian is back and so will Jace's dreams so I get it, I just thought it would last a little longer.

Then, Clary also tells Izzy about it and the fact that Jace thinks the Owl attacking people is in fact Jonathan which, in the end, they realize is isn't because Izzy got him in her wip and it didn't do anything to him (because of the electrum) and, jumping a little ahead, we then 'find out' that the Owl is Jace but... I don't know guys. I'm so confused about this. Last season's storyline seemed pretty simple compared to this one thought. Well, I like to me surprised so that's kind of good but, overall, I'm just really confused about this reveal so I'm going to be waiting for it to turn out into something else.

Besides this main storyline, there were some little ones in the episode, such as Simon and the mark that the Seelie Queen put in his forehead. He kept searching for and they found out it isn't a rune so then he tried to go to Raphael but Simon ended up attacking or, should I say, the thing in his forehead attacked Raphael so he just left. He then tried to go to the Seelie Queen but he found out that he was 'locked out' of the glade so... We didn't find much about it.

And then, the best part of the episode really, as usual, as the Malec parts of the episode. I've said this before but I'll say it again, Matthew Daddario has improved so much his acting! The bond between Alec and Magnus is so much stronger and they actually feel comfortable around eachother and that just makes their relationship more believable so I'm pretty happy how this is going for those two.

He had some big reveals in that dinner that, to be honest, I think were just to 'let us know' that Maryse won't be around for a bit but I might be wrong.

Well, I guess that's pretty much it for this episode.

That ending left me really confused but I'm so ready to have Jonathan/Sebastian back! I can't wait!

Let me know all your thoughts and theories about Jace being the Owl and I'll see you probably Friday with new Arrow and Supernatural rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 3 Episode 2 - "The Powers That Be"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys and here it is the second rant of the day!

This time I have some good things for you.

That's right, this week's episode of Shadowhunters was way better than the previous one! Seriously, so much better! This episode focused a lot more on just a few storylines, which I pointed out that there were too many in the first episode, so this time the few stories made it better and overall the feel of this episode was pretty different than all the other seasons. I feel like this episode was a lot more light and funny. Shadowhunters should do this more often!

The episode focused mainly on Magnus and Alec, which I appreciated. Also, with that, I could see a lot of improvement from Matthew Daddario! Not that he was a bad actor, but in this episode he was really great and he deserves a round of applause for everything that he did in the episode. Magnus aka Harry was also amazing, but he always is so I thought I didn't need to point that out.

While there was this happening between Magnus and Alec, like all the things with Lorenzo, we also moved a little forward with the Lilith storyline. Not a lot, but this was nice, just a tiny bit, to keep us guessing. It's true that I wish we knew just a little bit more about her and her plans but that's fine, I'm ok with it.

We also saw some more of Clace, when they went out on a date that didn't go that well after they meet with Simon and Maia at the restaurant. This also brought up the fact that Jace and Maia slept with each other in the previous season, which was something that us fans have been wondering about for quite some time.

Truth be told, I don't know what else to say about this episode. I just know I really enjoyed it! That ending was quite something and it just made me love Malec even more! I hope we get to see them more often. Oh, and I was almost forgetting, Magnus also mention Asmodeus and the fact that he's his father, which was also something that I've seen some fans talk about.

Well, I guess that's pretty much it. I don't know what else to say so I'll leave it up to you.

Let me know all your thoughts on the episode and if there's more things you want me to talk about in the next rant just let me know.

I'll see you Friday with new Supernatural and Arrow rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 3 Episode 1 - "On Infernal Ground"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

Shadowhunters is finally back and, as always, I'm here to talk about it.

I'm always pretty critical when it comes to Shadowhunters so expect something a bit harsh because yes, this wasn't my favourite episode and I'm going to tell you why.

First of all, the episode started right away badly. Not only it started with Clary's 'lie' but also it started with that dreadful background. I don't know what it is about Shadowhunters but their background, when it's done with green screen, it's always bad. I'm sorry but it's true. You can clearly see that it's done with a green screen and that's never a good thing and, because I'm an audiovisual student, I always notice things like that so... Yeah, one thing that I didn't like.

I also didn't like the fact that they showed too many 'storylines'. I mean, I get it. They wanted to show every main character in this first episode but there was some storylines that weren't that relevant and that they didn't really show much and they could've used that time to show a bit more of the main storylines. Like for example, they showed a tiny bit of that Raphael storyline, that I didn't really understand and they could've use that time to show us a little bit more of Lilith and her intentions. I know the people that read the books know everything but me, being one of those that didn't, would like to know a little bit more about her. I also know that it's all part of the suspense and everything so, in a way, I get it. I'm just saying that they couldv'e cut out some of the others storylines.

But, because it wasn't all bad, I need to mention my favourite parts of the episode.

You all are probably expecting me to say that it was Will Tudor aka Sebastian and, althought I did like to see him back, because I thought we were only going to see him again in the second part of this season, it wasn't my favourite part (it was my second favourite). My favourite part was the whole Jace storyline. I loved his bad dreams and all that and I actually really liked Dominic's acting, which is something I think I've never mentioned before. Obviously I also like the Lilith storyline and, surprisingly, I also liked the whole thing with Clary and her weapons and everything. I also think that Kat McNamara improved her acting so, that's good!

And, just to finish of this rant, I'd like to mention that I just think they should've ended the Ollie storyline. I think that's another problem that they (the characters) don't need and, overall, it's just a bit boring. Unless she's hiding something else (maybe she's the reason why Jordan, Maia's ex.boyfriend, comes back) I don't see why she's still around. Luke should've just let the demon kill her.

Anyway, this are my thoughts on the first episode of season 3. Let me know yours and I'll see you, probably just next week, with a new rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 20 - "Beside Still Water"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

So here it is, the final Shadowhunters rant for this season.

First of all I want to say sorry for posting this quite late but I've been on holidays (once again) and just today I got time to watch the episode. You have no idea how hard it was to not see spoilers but I managed not to so I have a fully (complete) review for you.

I must start this rant with the first thing that I noticed about this episode - the cinematography!

Basically the whole episode had amazing shots and angles which I loved, but mostly the first few scenes (the Sebastian ones) looked so beautiful! Seriously, congrats to Matt Hastings who directed the episode because it really looked perfect!

Since we are already on the 'Sebastian topic', I got to say that I kind of already new about this scene (they posted a little bit on Instagram) but I wasn't really expecting the whole Edom thing and demons coming out of that hole. Still, I loved it and it was really nice to know that, from what I could see, Will Tudor (and Sebastian) is going to stick around for Season 3, which leaves me really happy.

Moving on, I need to say that, throught the whole episode, all I could think about was the person that was going to die, which they kept on teasing throught the past couple of weeks and then, I just felt betrayed. 

Maybe I'm the only one feeling this way (please, tell me if you feel like me so I won't feel alone), but I feel like they 'played' us. They kept on saying that someone from the Main Cast was going to die and, yes Jace did die, but not really. We all knew that, in the end, he was going to live, not only because the scene with the angel happened in the books, but also because Dominic already talked about filming Season 3. Ok, Valentine died (apparently) but he wasn't like a major character... He was the bad guy and basically everyone wanted him dead, so it wasn't that sad so, for me, it doesn't count.

The only good part of this whole thing was, like I said, the scene that was in the books and that, from what I know, they kept true to them (somehow).

I also need to mention that, the fact that I was always waiting for someone to die, kept me out of my sit because I was just nervous and curious about what was going to happen, like in that Magnus/Alec/Izzy scene. Because I thought Izzy could be the one to die, I was really afraid for her in that scene. Also, because I didn't know much about Harry, I also thought Magnus could die, so all the Malec scenes were kind of nerve wrecking for me, but I really enjoyed them nonetheless. Plus, I was really happy that they worked things out by the end of the episode.

And, before I end the rant, I need to talk about the whole Luke/Maia/Simon and the Seelie Queen 'problem'. It kind of worked out in the end but, once again, throught all those scenes I kept thinking about Luke because I also thought he could be one to die. Also, the whole Simon thing, it was pretty obvioust he made a deal or something with the Queen which pissed me off a little bit but also left me wondering if Sarah Hyland is going to stick around for Season 3. Maybe not, because the Queen can change her form so... We'll see.

Well, now there's just left to talk about the very last scene, which was Sebastian's mum coming out of 'hell' and, probably, bringing him back. I must say that it was a pretty good cliffhanger, in my opinion, because it left us wondering who that person is (my bet is on Jocelyn, since she's Jonathan's mother afterall) and if she is really bringing Sebastian/Jonathan back, which I hope so, because I'm not ready to say goodbye to Sebastian (also, I hope they keep Will Tudor, because he's amazing as Sebastian/Jonathan).

That's pretty much it.

Overall, I feel like the episode was good, althought I also feel like they kind of tricked me, which I didn't really like. Still, it was a good episode and I'm looking forward to the next season!

Let me know all your thoughts on the season finale and I'll see you later with a new The Challenge rant!

P.S. I haven't heard it carefully but, from what I've heard on the episode, Kat's new song looks pretty good. Just thought I should mention that.

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 19 - "Hail and Farewell"

Spoiler Alert!

Oh My God you guys, this episode!

I'm so glad I have this blog and seriously, today, I couldn't wait to talk to you.

First of all, that ending! I'm sorry if I'm sounding too much of a fangirl, I'm going to try and keep it low a little bit but really, this episode was something else, mostly because of the last scenes.

You know what is coming. Yes, I'm going to start of right away with Sebastian/Jonathan. I must say that that fight scene between Jace and Jonathan was quite good and probably the best fight scene that the show had so far (the Sebastian/Jonathan one last episode doesn't count because that was basically him slaughtering everyone so, it wasn't really a fight). But, you know, the outcome of the fight wasn't the one that I expected. I was really devastated when I saw that Sebastian was 'really' dead (and I say 'really' because I have some theories for you in the end of the post about that subject). Sebastian/Jonathan is my favourite character in the series (so far) and I was really hoping for Will Tudor to stick around for Season 3. He wasn't even in a full season! If this was really his last episode, he was in 9 episodes, not even 10 so, obviously, I'm not okay with it.

Okay, now that we got that out of the way, we should get back to the beginning of the episode.

The episode started with my favourite duo - Valentine and Jonathan. Their scenes were the best ones in this episodes but, to be honest, I always like their interations. I think you can really see how talented Alan and Will are and their scenes just work beautifully.

We see them having to change the plan, move out of Sebastian's house and then we see the 'gang' (Izzy, Clary and Jace) finding the real Sebastian Verlac dead. He then shifts to a demon but they quickly get that out of the way and kill him which, to be completely fair, was kind of a downside for me. Like, they spent an whole episode trying to kill one of those demons a few episodes ago and now they just kill it like that?! Doesn't really make sense to me but, at least, Izzy said that they already knew how to kill it so, I can forgive that.

Moving on, it was nice to see them worried about a funeral and informing Sebastian Verlac's real family about his death, that was a nice touch, and then we get into the 'juice' of the episode.

We see all that happened between the Downworlders and the Seelie Queen. We see that 'child' again, which really annoys me and, on top of that, I got really sad with Magnus because he's basically the reason why all of this (the Seelie Queen part) is happening. I know that Alec did him wrong and all that, but really, Magnus could've now join the Seelie Queen. And then, because of him, and because of something that he told Luke (that we still don't know about), Luke and Raphael joined her as well.

The only good part about all this is Sarah Hayland. I really enjoyed her as the Seelie Queen, so much better then the other girl. I'm really sorry, but Sarah being the Seelie Queen works out so much better for me, I really hope they keep her. 

And since we're already on that topic, that interaction between Simon and the Seelie Queen was also pretty good! Again, someone that I always enjoy their scenes is Simon. I don't know if it is me that I really like his character or if Alberto is really that good (maybe it's both) but I always enjoy Simon's scenes. I liked particularlly when he told the Seelie Queen that she should get used to get 'no's', brilliant!

Okay, now let's talk about Clace.

I'm not a big Clace shipper but I get it. What I don't get were some of the Clace scenes in this episode.

First, that scene where Clary is looking for a place to put a rune on Jace was so unnecessary. It was pretty and all, with both of them glowing and all that slow-motion and the music but, really?!Really?! Was all that necessary? Once again, I get that it was to make Clace fans happy but I just think they could've done something else and maybe take a little less time, because that scene was a little too long.

That was the main issue for me in terms of Clace scenes and in scenes in general.

There was another scene that I think was great but it was little 'underwhelmed' which was when Izzy 'fights' Sebastian. It was pretty cool to see Izzy as a strong women and a strong character, but if you think about it, she didn't really do much, and I think Izzy could do so much better!

Then, I've already talked about the Sebastian scene that left me shredded so let's jump to the very last scene before I dive into predictions.

Once again, that last scene was something that I really enjoyed. I wasn't a big fan of Valentine but I think now, with this whole Jonathan storyline, I started to appreciate him a lot more. He's a character that you never know what to count from, like that scene when he told Jonathan he would come back for him and all that. I was really confused and I didn't know if he was saying the truth or not, so that's good, in my opinion.

Anyway, so Valentine went to talk with the Seelie Queen and he basically made her an offer that she clearly accepted so, I'm really curious to know what he told her. At first, I thought he was going to say to bring back Jonathan because she's the Seelie Queen and she can do all (I think) but I think that's not what he told her so, I think we are going to have to way to find out.

Now, getting into predictions!

I still stand by my last rant and say that it's either Luke or Izzy to die in the finale because 1) I don't think Sebastian is dead and 2) Even if he does, he sure isn't the big death so, I still bet on those two.

About Sebastian/Jonathan... 

This may come accross to you as spoilers and, I always have this in the beginning of the rants but really, if you don't want to know more than what I said already, don't read this, because this may be some huge spoilers.

So, me being the huge fan of Sebastian/Jonathan that I am, of course I wasn't okay with his death (as I already mentioned) and, at first, I really thought he was dead like, how could he not?! Plus, I know that they already started filming season 3 and Will Tudor is still in London so he must be, for sure, out of the series, right?! Well... That's when I started thinking.

First, Will said in an aftershow that we were going to see two different sides of Jonathan in the final two episodes, which lead me to think that he's in both episodes.

Second, I started wondering how 'permanet' and how 'damaging' that really was because he couldn't die with just that! I mean, you can't do 'better' than a sword through the heart but we're talking about Sebastian/Jonathan! The big bad and basically a demon so, that's when I remember to check out IMDB. I know that IMDB isn't always right but it is most of the times so I decided to check out the actors list in the next episode and guess what?! Will is in it! But that's not all! I then looked at his character and it says Jonathan / Lucifer! Lucifer! Freaking Lucifer! Damn! If IMDB is right this is going to be huge and I'm already so stoked for the season finale!

Anyway, that's it from me!

Hope you liked my rant and my predictions! Don't forget to let me know your thoughts on the episode and tell me your thoughts on Jonathan becoming Lucifer. Do you think IMDB is right? Let me know.

Until then...

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 18 - "Awake, Arise, or Be Forever Fallen"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone! Here I am with a brand new Shadowhunters rant!

I never thought I would say this about Shadowhunters but the series is getting really good! I find myself every week craving a new episode, when usually I would be kind of anoyed that there was a new episode to watch and, although I shouldn't really say this, I never really wanted to talk about the episodes here because they were just plain boring and bad. But right now, I really want to talk about them, and you may have already notice it because my Shadowhunters rants have been increasing in size.

I know that the main reason why this is happening is Sebastian aka Will Tudor. I always say this - a season is as good as it's villain - and that's exactly what is happening in this Part B of Shadowhunters. Sebastian/Jonathan is that good of a villain and that makes everything better! Besides, you know I have a soft spot for bad guys and psychopaths so I get even more attached to this characters.

Anyway, let's talk about the proper episode because that's what you're here for.

For me, this episode had two main storylines - Malec and Sebastian/Jonathan.

Let's talk about Jonathan first because I want to leave the cute stuff for the end (and also because I just can't wait to talk about my baby).

The last episode ended with Max finding out about Sebastian being in fact Jonathan. Of course, Jonathan being Jonathan (and being a demon) he had to do something about it and he knocked out Max. At first I thought it was just that, but I guess when he went there the second time he did something to him so it would be like very difficult for him to wake up.

Throughout the whole episode I just kept grinning because we, as an audience, we knew that Sebastian was really Jonathan, and his plan was working pretty well. I was seriously amazed at how everything was working out really smoothly for him. No one suspected it was him! He got to know about the whole plan, find out where the Mortal Mirror was, get away from the security cameras, trick Jace and that fight scene! Can we talk about that fight scene?! I love me some badass guys, even more when they're actually evil! Of course we can't really compare this fight scenes to Arrow's fight scenes, for example, but I believe this was one of the best from this show! And then, he got the Mirror and I was pretty happy about that!

Then, Clary talks about all that stuff about eletron and that's when it came to my mind all those scenes where Sebastian was ironing his hand and all that. He has been practicing his pain tolerance besides, like he said, he was in Edom so he even enjoyed the pain so, I knew he was fine.

But, this episode being one of the last ones for this season, something had to go wrong and Clary suspected him and she saw his burning hand. That's when everything goes downhill and she finds out, he looses the Mortal Mirror and basically everyone ends up finding about him. 

The thing that surprised me the most was the very end, when Clary finds out that the Mirror that she ended up turning to ashes, wasn't the real Mortal Mirror and that the real Mirror is in fact Lake Lyn. That really surprised me, but in a good way though. I always said that that mirror was like a tiny thing and didn't look that special, now I get it. Lake Lyn looks a lot more like a magical thing, althought I was expecting a real mirror, just a more special one.

Anyway, I also have to mention that Max was fine in the end, which I also suspected. This also means that is going to be someone else to die in the season finale. I'm just going to say my thoughts right now and end the rant with a kind of good note.

So, here's my theory, it is going to be either Izzy, Alec, Magnus or Luke. At first, I thought that it couldn't be anyone that was in San Diego Comic Con, but then it left me with only Raphael, Sebastian/Jonathan and Maia, that's why I said Maia in my last rant. Then, I realized it couldn't be her because she was just promoted to Main Cast, so they can't kill her off. This would leave me with only Raphael and Sebastian, and Sebastian will probably die and if he, in fact does, it won't be like sad for the characters, which Kat said it would be sad, neither would it sad if it was Raphael so it as to be someone from the Main Cast, the cast that was at Comic Con.

After realizing that, I went to see who as been talking about Season 3 on social media and the only ones that haven't said anything about starting filming are Emeraude, Matt, Harry and Isaiah. Harry kind of said something but I'm not sure. Right now my bet would be on either Izzy or Luke to die. Let's see. Let me know your thoughts.

So, let's talk about something good now - Malec.

Malec was so damn cute in this episode! All those flashbacks, mainly those ones in the bed were really good. My favourite scene this episode must have been that one when Alec says that Magnus' cat eyes are beautiful. That was a beautiful scene! Unfortunatelly, it had to end badly because Magnus chose to join the Seelie Queen, that b*tch. I really dislike her. Can't wait to see Sarah Hayland as her thought.

And well, that was pretty much it. There was that whole thing with Maia, Simon and Luke and the new werewolf. Oh, and we can't forget about Luke's partner that finds out about the werewolves, that is going to be a problem!

I guess that's it guys! Next episode is going to be the second to last this season and I'm seriously really excited! I just hope Sebastian doesn't die because I love him and Will Tudor is freaking amazing so, fingers crossed Sebastian/Jonathan doesn't die!

Let me know who you think is going to die and I'll see you tomorrow with a new The Challenge rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 17 - "A Dark Reflection"

Spoiler Alert!

I got to watch the latest episode today, yay! Which means, new rant for you guys!

Once again, this episode was a lot Sebastian/Jonathan centered, which got me even more excited than what I already was. I mean, I should be expecting this really. The season is ending and Sebastian (plus Valentine) is the main villain in this part B. Still, I got really excited about the whole storyline although, as usual, the Clary scenes are a little bit cringrey but Will Tudor makes up for Kat's lack of acting skills. I'm sorry if I keep pointing that out but sometimes (most of the time) it bothers me and I just need to talk about it. After all, this is my blog and my opinions about the episodes so, I guess I should mention that.

Anyway so, like I said, Sebastian centered episode with a lot of unexpected moments (which is new for Shadowhunters).

Valentine and Sebastian start with their plan. With two of the mortal instruments, it was obvious they would go and try to find the last one - The Mortal Mirror. The only thing that I didn't know was what this three objects together could do, but the episode answered my question and we find out that they want to raise the Angel Raziel so he can grant them a wish, which is obviously a world without Downworlders (at least, we know that's what Valentine wants).

We see both of them (Valentine and Sebastian) interact a lot. We also see the Sebastian/Jonathan's strugle between being 'good' or 'evil', since he both wants his dad and his sister to love him, and let's just say that Valentine wants him to be evil and Clary wants to save him.

Talking about Clary... Now knowing about Jonathan, of course her and Jace start a 'hunt' for him. They then learn that Jonathan and Valentine are probably working together, since the warlock that had the location for The Mortal Mirror was tortured and then killed himself, passing on the 'mark' to another warlock (which we later see that it's Dot). Finding about that, Jace obviously says that Jonathan is evil and he's working with Valentine. On the other hand, Clary knows that he's evil, but she still thinks that Valentine might be manipulating him and making him do stuff so she wants to save him.

While all of this is happening, Sebastian keeps pretending to be a good guy and pretends to help them with stuff in order to find The Mortal Mirror's location. That's also in that moment that Clary tells him about wanting to save her brother (without know that she's actually talking to him) and later, the most unexpected thing happens - Sebastian/Jonathan kisses Clary.

It was seriously messed up! I mean, I know about the books and I knew that he was kind of obsessed with her but it was really creepy! But, at the same time, all his internal struggle just makes my hear go weak. I really like some psychos that have a good side and, overall, are just confused and really messed up so, it was pretty obvioust that I was going to love Sebastian!

Anyway, back to The Mortal Mirror...

So, with Dot's help, Clary and Jace find out not only where it is, but also that it was Jocelyn who had it and who hide it.

After know it's location, they go after it but, of course, Sebastian isn't dumb and he tracked Clary and found them with The Mortal Mirror in their hands.

Since we're in this topic, can I just mention the disappointment that that Mortal Mirror was? I mean, I don't know how it should look in the books or how you guys imagined it but, first, I imagined it a full lenght mirror but, since they showed that it was hidden in a statue, I figured that it had to be a small mirror, but that?! That is so small and so not appealing! I mean, have you seen the other Mortal Instruments?! Both the sword and the cup are a lot more appealing and look like they have something special about it, but that mirror? It was probably the biggest downside of the episode.

Well, back to the episode so, they are able to get away with the mirror and they hide it somewhere else (I guess). I can't really remember if we see them hiding it because then happens that Clary vision and I don't know. Also, I still don't get those visions so, let's see what happens in terms of that.

Meanwhile all of this is happening, some other stuff also happens with the Downworlders, like Magnus and Luke finding out about the Clave not having the Mortal Sword and Magnus being really sad/mad at Alec, which left me really sad.

Also, some stuff is going on between Simon and Maia, which I'm not really cool with. I mean, I don't hate it but I just want Sizzy to happen. We got a little bit of Sizzy in this episode though, with Simon helping Izzy with Max's training.

Oh, and talking about Max, I bet you all already heard this by now but everyone is suspecting that Max is the one to die in the season finale because, yes there's going to be a main character death in the finale and I guess that's what happens in the books so everyone thinks that Max is going to die. That, and because he is really sneaky and he basically found out in the end of this episode that Sebastian is really Jonathan so, I don't really know what Sebastian could do to him.

To be honest, I don't think they're going to kill Max's character. To me, the one to die is going to be Maia. She has become a 'kind of' main character in this season, she has a lot of storylines lately, they're setting her up with Simon now and, because I really want this to happen, if she dies, Simon can finally be with Izzy because, let's be real, Simon has been with almost every girl in that cast apart from Izzy so, it's time we get some Sizzy! Also, Alisha wasn't in the San Diego Comic Con so, that might mean something.

Anyway, I guess that's pretty much it for me!

I'm really liking this part B from this season! It might be because of Sebastian/Will Tudor but what can I do? He brings something to the show so... Congrats to him!

Well, let me know your thoughts about this episode and predictions for the next episodes as well as for the season finale. Who do you think is going to die? Let me know everything!

Until next week with a new Shadowhunters rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 15 - "A Problem of Memory"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello again!

It looked like I took a little longer with a new post. Turns out there was no episode last week because of the 4th of July so I only had a new episode to talk about this week, so here I am!

I have to be honest, I couldn't wait for this episode. Not that it was about the episode, but I just wanted a new episode (mostly because of Sebastian) and, to be fair, this episode didn't disappoint me one bit!

The episode started of with the two main storylines this episode, also my two favourites. Simon going to a Bleeder's Den and Sebastian ironing and placing the hot iron on his hand.

Then, we move on to Alec, who wakes up to an empty bed, and sees that Magnus is troubled but he doesn't explain why. By the end of the episode he does and we learn a little bit more about his past and everything. It was cute, but it wasn't the main thing in the episode. Still, it was nice to have a little bit of Malec in it.

We move on to the Institute, where Izzy sees Clary who's trying to reach Simon, to which Izzy tells her that she can love two people at the same time, which reminded me a lot of The Vampire Diaries.

On the note of Simon, he wakes up with a hungover and in a bloody shirt. Clary then arrives at the boat house to try and explain everything but Simon breaks up with her because she doesn't love him the way he loves her, which is true.

After that, a girl is found dead, drained of blood, and Simon's prints were found on her, so obviously everyone thinks he's the one that killed her. Because of that, he runs and goes for Raphael for help, but he tells him that he will only help him if he tells how she became a Daylighter, to which Simon says that he doesn't know and just goes somewhere else because Raphael didn't believe him.

He goes to the place where she was with that girl and then that Lady Cop that is working with Luke finds him and Simon is arrested. In the car, on the way to the police, that lady keeps talking about the murder and everything and that's when she says that she was drained from her feet, so that's when Simon realizes that he didn't kill her because he never liked feet. So then, he just gets out of the car and goes back to that Bleeder's Den.

Back to my favourite part, the Sebastian's storyline... Aline, Sebastian's cousin, arrives at the Institute and, as soon as Sebastian sees her, he looks uncomfortable. That's when we move to the next scene and we see that the man in Sebastian's closet is the real Sebastian, just like everyone predicted.

Moving to Simon's storyline once again so, he goes back to the Bleeder's Den and finds Quinn (the guy he was the past night) and sees him drinking from a girls feet, so he knows right away that it was Quinn who killed that girl. Quinn doesn't even try to deny it and so both start fighting. In the end, Simon stakes him through the heart and kills him.

And, again, back to the Sebastian storyline.

We see that the real Sebastian is able to get out of the closet and out of the apartment. He's about to get to Aline and Izzy but that's when the fake Sebastian gets to him and ends up really killing him.

In the very end, it was time to transfer Valentine to Idris. They get Magnus to help with the portal and that's when they're getting into it that I notice something is about to happen. Obviously Valentine gets to escape, this time, to a twist that I didn't see coming. Because of Sebastian.

Then, the episode ends with a grotesque being with no skin (fake Sebastian's true form) calling Valentine "father".

I can't say that this was a surprise for me because it wasn't. I always knew that 'Sebastian' was in fact Jonathan, Valetine's son and Clary's brother, but it was still pretty cool to see all of this happening.

To wrap everything up, I think this was a pretty decent episode. In fact, I think it was one of the best! It didn't have much action but it had two of my favourite storylines - Simon and Sebastian - and they didn't focus too much on Clary which was nice.

Also something that I noticed was a lot of The Vampire Diaries similarities, like when Izzy said to Clary that it was ok to love two people at the same time, and then when Raphael compelled that Lady Cop and the last scene when Sebastian says 'Hello, Father' just like Damon said to Stefan 'Hello, Brother' so, there's that.

Oh, and next week the episode is going to be the one Directed by Paul Wesley so, I'm pretty excited for that!

Ok, I think that's it.

I'm sorry if this is a little bit of a mess but it's been a few days without posting anything.

Anyway, let me know your thoughts on the episode and I'll see you in two weeks (because next week I'm on holidays) with new Shadowhunters and The Challenge rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 14 - "The Fair Folk"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry for being a little late with this post but the next episode only airs next monday which means I'm still on time. And since there's no more series on air right now, I think I'm fine.

So, this was a slow episode in my opinion. A lot happened, don't get me wrong, but there wasn't much action, although I must say that the photography and editing in this episode was really good so congrats on that.

But yeah, in terms of actual stuff that I happened, I need to talk about, first of all, the thing that everyone was really excited and curious about - the Seelie Queen.

I keep up with some channels on youtube that make reviews and talk about the series so I already knew that this was coming and I also knew that the Seelie Queen was going to be a 'child', I was just curious to see if she was going to be any good. Well, for me, she wasnt. I don't know, I think she needed more carisma, although by the end of the episode I was already pissed at her so, I guess she did a good job?! Maybe, but comparing her to Hope from The Originals, who is probably a lot younger than this girl, Hope aka Summer Fontana is so much better so, in my opinion, she wasn't good.

In terms of what happened in that place, it wasn't much, once again, in my opinion. Yes, Clary kissed Jace and Simon got really heartbroken but that was the only thing that mattered in this storyline and that was exactly what I felt, that they only did this for 1) show us the Seelie Queen and 2) to make Climon end and Clace come back.

Anyway, let's talk about something actually good. You know what's coming. Yes, Sebastian!

He wasn't like major in this episode, but he was back and that ending was quite something! Besides, there was that whole thing in the beginning with Jace playing the piano and both of them, Jace and Sebastian, talking about how Jace learned it and all and then, in the end, Sebastian playing piano as well because, you know, Valentine also taught him. Oh, and I can't forget about the 'triangle' between Sebastian, Izzy and Raphael. I should include Meliorn in this too, thought, but yeah, it was also something interesting, but not my favourite. I liked the fact that Raphael didn't 'want to' be with her because this leaves room for Sizzy, mostly because now Simon is sad/angry with Clary so, this is all going towards that, which leaves me happy.

And then, there's only left the 'main storyline' which was all that reunion with all the Downworlders and Alec to 'make piece' which was nice, mostly too see Alec in charge, but I feel like this just happened so all the other storylines could happen. I don't know, I feel really torn about this episode.

Let me know what you thought about this episode.

Well, and I guess that's it! I hope you liked and besides telling me your thoughts on the episode, also tell me your predictions for who is that person that Sebastian has locked up, because I have no clue (for once).

I'll see you next week with a new Shadowhunters rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 13 - "Those of Demon Blood"

Spoiler Alert!

Here I am with a new rant.

I must say that this episode wasn't as exciting for me because no Sebastian. But, once again, I need to mention the fact that this episode wasn't as cringy as they use to be, so the series is really improving, which is good.

So, like I said, there was no Sebastian in this episode, which means that he isn't the 'main villain' or whatever in this. Instead, in this episode the Shadowhunters are going after someone that is killing other shadowhunters and removing their runes.

In the beginning, they find a shadowhunter that was killed by an werewolf, to which they go straight to Luke. Then, more shadowhunters are found, and these were killed by vampires and warlocks, which made them go to Magnus and Raphael to know what's going on.

Izzy goes to talk to Raphael who tells her about the fact that, in the past, something happened between the Downworlders and the Clave and that a particular Seelie talked about hunting the shadowhunters and even removing their runes - that Seelie was Meliorn.

They find Meliorn but he says that he isn't the one to do it but he knows who is and that he kind find that person. 

It ends up being one girl Seelie (which I can't remember the name). Izzy ends up killing her in the end, which made her my favourite character in this episode.

Thats was basically it about the main storyline this episode.

Of course a lot of other things happened like the whole thing about Jace being and Herondale. Obviously he starts being treated differently from Imogen (her grandmother) and she even nominates him as head of the Institute while she's away. In the end, Jace ends up making Alec the head of the Institute instead of him, which makes more sense in my opinion and I totally agree that Alec is way better at that job that Jace is.

Also, there's a whole thing about Simon. Not only about him being a Daylighter and the vampires wanting to follow him, but also Clary tells him to continue with his 'band' and in the end of the episode he performs in the bar where Maia works at. Oh, and to finish the rant off, Maia and Jace end up hooking up after Maia telling him and he's still in love with Clary and Jace denying it, to which she tells him to prove it.

Well, like I said, not a bad episode, but I felt like it was a little bit of a filler. 

Maybe this whole thing about shadowhunters being hunted was an 'easter egg' about what's coming like, the Downworlders revolting and all that, but let's see. I just ask for more Sebastian because he's so good!

That's it guys! Let me know your thoughts on the episode and I'll see you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 12 - "You Are Not Your Own"

Spoiler Alert!

So, here I am with a new Shadowhunters rant.

I must say that this second part of the season is surprising me, in a good way. I didn't really find any bad things in this episode, which is huge so, congrats to the team!

Obviously there was little things that could've been done better, but that's just me being picky.

Well, let's start with my favourite part of the episode - Sebastian! I told you! You were going to hear a lot about Sebastian and here's me keeping up with that promise.

Anyway, like I said, Sebastian was my favourite part in the episode, mostly that scene where he was being really harsh with Clary. The whole 'Clary's powers not working' thing was being kind of boring and, althought I was curious why it wasn't working, I didn't care much, to be honest, but then Sebastian went to go talk to her and he started talking about feelings and, seriously, it is so obvious that all of this is part of his master plan! I still have no idea what his plan is (because, once again, I didn't read the books) but I can sense that it's going to be an huge plot twist (on the characters) when he finally tells them who/what he really is and what he really wants.

Then, the part where he shouted at her and everything... He then apologized to her but, to be honest, I don't think he was sorry. You could see he was enjoying it and I think this, and the last scene of the last episode were hints for the viewers that don't know anything about Sebastian to start noticing that something is wrong with him. Anyway, I just can't wait for him to show his real self and be like really bad because I love my bad boys so, yeah.

Moving one to the main story of the episode - Magnus and Valentine.

The whole thing was pretty cool, actually, but there were times where it was really weird to see Alan and Magnus and Harry as Valentine, mostly when Alec was with Valentine's body (real Magnus). 

The only thing that I found really odd and was a little bit of a 'contradition' was the fact that Alec just killed Azazel just like that, after Sebastian saying that it was really hard and that the spot was the size of a pea and so on and so on, Alec just killed him really easily. I know they had a pretty big storyline ahead, but still, didn't really like that part.

Apart from that, the whole Simon and Izzy thing was really nice, can't wait to really have Sizzy 100% confirmed and then, another big 'reveal' was that Jace is, in fact, an Herondale. 

I wasn't really surprised by it because I saw some spoilers, but I didn't really know that before the spoilers so, it was nice, I guess. It just seems to me that they're rushing a lot of things. I know, in fact, that the things on the books aren't like this so, they're switching some things up and I think it's going by too fast. Let me know what you think.

Well, I think that's pretty much it. Overall, it was a good episode. Once again, not my favourite, but I can see that the series is improving so, I'm excited to see where this goes.

Let me know your thoughts on the episode, what do you think is going to happen and I'll see you tomorrow with a new The Challenge, rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Shadowhunters | Season 2 Episode 11 - "Mea Maxima Culpa"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys, and welcome back to the Shadowhunters' rants.

Season 2B aired on the past Monday but I only got time to watch it now so here I am with all of my thoughts about the second part of this season.

Right away I must say that this second part looks much better! They said that the series was going to get darker and it really is.

We start of with a scene that, in my opinion, wasn't that great, which Jace and Alec fighting/training. I'm used to Arrow's fight sequences, which are amazing so this was a little bit underwhelming. Then, the next part wasn't the best either because it was a Simon/Clary scene and, not only I don't ship them, but I still don't think Kat is a good actress and her scenes are always really cringey.

From here we got into the good stuff!

The villain for this episode, this Main Demon, was actually pretty good! I liked how it looked and I liked what he did and his 'story' and, mostly, it made me think a lot about Supernatural because this demon was Azazel and you know... Azazel was like the main villain in the first seasons of Supernatural and he was huge so it was nice to have some type of creature that I was familiar with.

We also got back to some Valentine storyline, which kind of annoyed me a little bit but at the same time I liked it. I didn't like Valentine that much but, with this episode, I could see how much potential he has as a villain and I appreciate him, although I think it's time to get over him and move on to another villain.

And, talking about another villain... We finally got introcuded to Sebastian!

I must say, Sebastian was the main reason why I was excited for this second part of the season and, with just this episode, he turned out to be my favourite Shadowhunters' character. You'll see me talking about him a lot in the next rants so, be prepared.
But, in terms of the proper scenes with him, he didn't look nothing like a villain! But, unless they're changing the story from the books, we know that he's going to be. Nonetheless, I loved to see his interations with Izzy and that last scene with him burning his hand was really creepy and it got me really confused and intrigued so, I'm curious to see what is all that about (because I didn't read the books so I have no clue).
Moving on to something not so good, I need to mention, once again, Clary.
So, Jace didn't tell her about them not being brothers afterall and then she finds out through Valentine and, oh my god, that scene was so cringey! Like, seriously, why would you react like that to finding out that the guy you liked, that then you stoped liking because he was your brothers, isn't your brother afterall?! I seriously don't get it and I really think it was super overdramatic!
Well, to finish this up I just want to say that Raphael is kind of annoying me as well but I really liked Alec in this episode! I think he really developed as a character (and Matt as an actor) during hiatus and I'm liking where his character is right now so, props to Matt!
That's basically it!
Befor I finish, I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to stop doing The Originals' rants. I might do a full post about it and letting my (only) The Originals' readers know but I just wanted to tell you right away that I'm going to stop doing them.
Anyway, let me know your thoughts about this new Shadowhunters' episode and I'll see you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.
