The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 | Season 34 Episode 3 - "United We Stand, Divided We Fall"

Spoiler Alert!

Oh My God!

Hi everyone and welcome to the craziest episode of The Challenge.

Seriously, this episode got me so pumped for the rest of the season! They said that they were going all out and they weren't kidding.

I'm not even going to waste any time and I'm just going to talk about the end - Wow! Like wow! Wes going home defeated by Bear. This really couldn't get any better, to be honest.

Okay, now that we got that out, let's get to the 'usual programming'.

There was quite a lot of talk in the beginning of this episode, I guess foreshadowing everything that then happened but you know how I feel about the 'drama' and the 'fillers'... It's interesting, but I want to see some challenges. They didn't take too long, so that was nice.

I have to say, this week's challenge wasn't easy, and I guess it depended a lot on luck - and not cheating. I guess I was kind of right on my prediction, that the UK Team was going to win this week's challenge, and they did, but they cheated so, in the end, the USA Team won, which wasn't entirely bad because of everything that happened next.

The USA Team decided to 'nominate' Josh as the speaker, in a way to prove that he was with the team, and he chose for the tribunal Laurel and Zach. The initial thought was to choose Theo, because he's basically the strongest male in the UK Team, but then the UK chose Bear and they didn't want to 'waste' an elimination because the USA thought that Theo was going to win (plus, Laurel has been 'sleeping' with Bear so, there's also that). And then, of course, Wes had to say something and I guess he said too much when he said that Josh was expendable that it was just a matter of time before they would send him home. Well, Laurel didn't really like that and told Josh and came up with the plan to instead of Theo or anyone from the UK Team, to send Wes against Bear. That was genius! For some moments I even thought she was playing Josh but.. Now. When the elimination came she voted for Wes and so Josh did too (Zach voted for Theo, but that doesn't really matter). It was a shock for basically everyone (Laurel told Bananas who is always in favor of sending Wes home, even if, at this point, the whole thing between them is basically just for the show). I loved it! Even if he didn't lose, I'm also always up for trying to send Wes home and... I guess time worked! And it was a physical challenge! I think a lot of people underestimate Bear but he's not a bad competitor, he just has a pretty big mouth, which just fits right in on the challenge.

Anyway so Bear won and he chose to stay in the UK Team. Seriously, I can't wait for an elimination that someone from the USA wins because I bet that person is going to change teams, just wait.

And that's basically it. If I wasn't that pumped about this season, I am now. I freaking loved this episode! Seriously, I doubt there's a better one.

Let me know your thoughts on the whole thing and I'll see you in my next rant.

Love,

Daniela.

Arrow | Season 4 Episode 8 - "Legends of Yesterday"

Spoiler Alert!

What an amazing crossover this was! I have to say, it was way better than the previous one and, I would even say, this were the best episodes from each series, seriously!

I loved every second of this (and The Flash) episode so I'm really excited to rant about it!

I'm not going to talk about what happened on The Flash, which was, kind of, the beggining of this episode, because I did a special rant on The Flash's episode, so if you don't watch The Flash and you don't know the beggining of the story (also, if you watch and you wanna know my opinions) I would recomend you go and read my previous post so you'll get a better understanding of the storyline.

So, this episode started were The Flash's episode ended. Oliver, Barry and both Team Arrow and Team Flash went to Central City to hide Kendra and Carter from Savage.

They start building a plan when Malcolm calls Oliver saying that he got a meeting with Savage. Of course this meeting isn't to hang out, and of course Savages demands Oliver and Barry to hand over Kendra and Carter or he will destroy Central City and Star City.

Again, of course they're not going to hand over them so both Teams start working on a plan to destroy Savage. 

Long story short, the plan fails and basically everyone dies.

But, this is not the end, it couldn't be!

Turns out, all of this happened while Barry traveled in time, so the episode re-started in the negotiation with Savage.

I thought this was such a great idea! Seriously, for a moment, I really believed that everything was happening for real, but then I remember, in the beggining of the episode, Barry running and seeing a ghost of himself, the sign that he is time travelling! For real, I was so happy with this storyline!

So, after the 'negotiation', even though Barry is not supposed to tell anyone that he time travelled and that everything that is happening already happened, he told Oliver (thank god) so they could come up with a different plan, one that would actually work.

So, they try a different strategy and, instead of leaving everyone behind, like in the 'original plan', Oliver agrees to let everyone go and so all Team Arrow (apart from Felecity, of course) goes to 'hand over' Kendra and Carter (again) and, this time, the plan works, and Barry gets to steal the staff from Savage and kill him.

Well, it supposedly ends that way but, of course, the bad guy never really dies that easily, and besides, they had to build a storyline from Legends of Tomorrow, so he doesn't really stay dead. We don't really see him alive again, but Malcolm goes to collect his ashes and, well, Malcolm had to be on Savage's side, it was too good to be true.

After the fight, Kendra and Carter decide to go to another city (the storyline for Legends of Tomorrow) and Kendra had to say goodbye to Cisco. That moment was so sad for me. I actually really shipped them together and, for once, Cisco had a real love interest and that was so damn cute! I was really sad for him...

And, well, they had to keep on with the Oliver's son storyline so, of course, Oliver finds out about his son and he hides it from Felicity! Seriously Oliver?! And also, Seriously Barry?! Well, I do agree that Oliver should be in his son's life but I don't agree at all with him hiding it from Felicity, huh-huh!

I can see this not ending that well but, let's hope I'm wrong.

Well, as you can see, this was and hell of an episode! Full of different emotions and I loved it!

Tell me in the comments if you loved it aswell and if you also watch The Flash, because I would really like to know!

Love,

The Flash | Season 2 Episode 8 - "Legends of Today"

Spoiler Alert!

Today, I bring you a special post.

As you may already know, this weeks episode of Arrow was a crossover with The Flash, so I thought I should bring you a rant of The Flash's episode as well as the Arrow's episode. First, because you wouldn't understand Arrow's rant without The Flash's one, and Second, because I also watch The Flash, so I thought it would be interesting to have a special/different rant this week, so, let's get into it!

Right when the episode started I got really excited! I love to see both shows/both characters from each show interact, so I was really looking forward to this episodes! Also, I knew that this crossover was going to intruduce us to Legends of Tomorrow, so I was really excited about that aswell, and that was where the episode began.

It started with an imortal 'bad guy' (which we find out about the imortal part later in the episode) killing a bunch of people, which was kind of expected. What I didn't expect was that he was after Kendra, who turns out to be more than the Hawkgirl (which I also already knew about). She's like a 'mythical' creature. I don't really know how to explain to you but I think, if you watch the show, you'll get it.

And, that's when the Team Arrow comes to help. Well, actually, it's Barry who reaches out to Oliver for his help but... well, you get the idea.

It was so interesting to see them working together again and see some of the chracters interact for the first time, like, for example, Thea and Barry, because she wasn't a part of Team Arrow last time that Oliver and Barry were helping each other, so she didn't know that they knew each other, which was one of my favourite parts of the episode.

Malcolm also kind of helps Team Arrow and Team Flash, which was also interesting, because we haven't really seen The Flash interact with him and with the League of Assassins.

To help to all this party a guy, who turned out to be Hawkman (or something) came to get Kendra aswell, and again, Oliver and Barry had to fight him, not knowing that he was trying to actually help. That fight scene was just amazing! I really like the fight scenes in both shows but the scenes in this episode were just amazing!

This guys actually helps us (viewrs) and both Teams to understand all the story behing Kendra, the 'bad guys' Savage and him, which make them (the teams) trust him a little bit more, even thought, not fully.

In the meantime, that guy Savage goes back to Central City to get a powerfull weapon and, of course, Barry and Oliver go after the same weapon trying to get it before Savage, while Thea and Diggle stay in Star City, along with Felicity and Cisco, to protect Kendra.

Is save to say that, like expected, Savage gets the weapon first and another fight scene happens, which was really great too!

By the end of the episode, Kendra finally comes to her senses and kind of 'reborn' and finds out who she really his, so both Teams get back to Central City to try and take down Savage for good. And, the best part of the episode, which is also the end of it, happens.

While Barry and Oliver are in the café that Team Flash usually go to, a kid passes by them and drops a Flash toy (which is also one of my favourite parts of the episode) and Oliver gets it for him. And then, that's when he realizes who the kids mum is, her long time girlfriend who was pregnant and who his mum paid to go away and tell Oliver that she lost the baby (remember that from season 01 of Arrow?) That was a HUGE moment in the episode and that was when it ended, leaving me so excited to see Arrow's episode!

Now, I seriously have to watch Arrow's episode and, when I do, I'll post a rant right away!

So, this is it guys, a special rant about The Flash. Hope you guys liked it and if you want me to start doing The Flash rants, tell me in the comments, because I also watch The Flash and I wouldn't mind, at all, to start rating about it too.

Love,

Daniela
