The Vampire Diaries | Season 8 Episode 2 - "Today Will Be Different"


Spoiler Alert!

The Vampire Diaries never fails to amaze me!
That's right guys, back with a new and  (again) amazing episode!
First of all, I want to say I'm sorry for posting this a little too late but it was completely impossible for me to post on the weekend and then yesterday was Halloween so, obviously, I had been celebrating it. 
But today, I'm here with the rant and with some very good things to say about this episode (apart from the ending, but I'll get to that later).
So, in this episode we found out a lot more about Sybil. We see her in action and we see her trying to figure out why she can't get inside Enzo's head.
In order t protect Bonnie and not make Sybil suspicious, Enzo giver her something, Sarah Salavatore. And, she taks Damon to kill her.
Later, Stefan, Caroline and Bonnie find reports of a lot of girls named Sarah Nelson (her assumed surname) being dead and Stefan figures out that it must be Damon and Enzo (following Sybil's 'compulsion') that are killing those girls so they go after the real Sarah Nelson/Salvatore, and that's when they find her in her appartment with Enzo.
That's when another Bonenzo reunion happen and this one was a lot cuter... kind of.
So, basically Caroline and Stefan give them some space to talk and that's when Enzo really tells Bonnie about what Sybil is up to and everything, but she doesn't understand why he can't just run away with her so she knocks him out and (kind of) kidnaps him.
When they are a few miles away from Sybil, Enzo starts having some huge headaches or something and that's when Bonnie realizes that she must really let him go and try to find another way to free him (and Damon) from Sybil. And later we find out that that's the moment when the cutest Bonenzo moment happens, they finally kiss! (in this season)
Unfortunatelly, we find that out when Sybil finds that also because, while Enzo and Bonnie are having they cute moment, a lot more happen between Stefan, Sybil, Damon and Sarah.
Basically, Damon appears and tries to kill Sarah, but that's when Stefan tells him who she is and that he shouldn't kill her, for Elena. Thinking about Elena, Damon decides not to kill Sarah but that's when Sybil appears and asks him why isn't Sarah dead yet, killing her herself in the end.
And, that's the moment when Sybil finds out about Elena and changes all his memories with Elena for memories of him with her, and that's the moments we know Damon is lost (basically).
They go back to 'their place' (Sybil's, Damon's and Enzo's) and that's when Enzo appears and Sybil finds out about Bonnie. And that's also the moments we know Enzo is lost as well.
Meanwhile, we also find out a lot more about Alaric and what is happening around him. So, we find out that Georgie (his co-worker) had a near death experience and that in that experience she saw a symbol, symbol which she tatooed and they found in an artifact that was in the vault.
And, the worst part of the episode happens, the end. Not because it was the end but because of how it ended. Basically Stefan asked Caroline to marry him and she said yes. 
I just don't like Steroline and I don't ship them one bit so I didn't like that end. Most people loved it, but I don't so, that's that.
Overall, it was a pretty good episode, again, apart from that ending.
I'm really liking this new storyline and I can clearly see the difference of having Kevin Williamson back. Also, although she's really bad, I'm really liking Sybil and I'm really curious to find out how are they gonna make Damon and Enzo get rid of her 'compulsion', and get rid of her overall.
And yeah, I know this wasn't a really detailed rant and I didn't talk much about my thoughts (or at least, not like I'm used to) but it has kind of been a while since I watched the episode so... If want to see my reactions in first had just follow me on Twitter (@danixinhahhh) because I always live tweet.
Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow with a new The Flash rant!
Until then...
Love,
Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 12 Episode 3 - "The Foundry"


Spoiler Alert!

New episode of Supernatural and, just like The Flash, back to basics.
This episode took us back to season 1, where the boys are back hunting but, this time, with a new member, Mary Winchester.
I liked this episode. Again, it wasn't one of my favourites because I'm still waiting for that boom! episode, but I liked this one better than the previous ones, maybe because the boys were back on cases and chasing monsters, which is always nice to see, and which I think it's going to happen in the next few episodes.
But yeah, let's get into the events that happened in this episode.
The episode starts with the case, a couple that hears a baby crying insde an abbandoned house and that end up frostbitten.
From this we switch to the boys who are having breakfast. Castiel appears saying that he has a lead from Lucifer and that he's going after that lead. After that, Mary appears with the case.
At first, the boys, mostly Sammy, don't want to take the case because they are kind of worried about Mary, but she insists and they end up going on a family hunting trip.
Some moments on that trip were pretty cute, because we got to see how much alike his mum Dean is, which is really cute. But I still felt like something wasn't right with Mary, which we find out in the end of the episode that she feels 'weird' and that everything is different from when she died.
But yeah, back to the case...
They go into that house and Mary is grabbed by a little boy's ghost, but she doesn't think he's trying to hurt her but tell her something.
Later, Sam and Dean, find out that a lot of children died in that house so they leave to burn the bones, leaving Mary alone in the motel. Of course, no one does what they're told and Mary starts calling people until she founds out what is going on and comes back to the house. That's when things go wrong.
The children are still there and she finds out that it is the father of the first girl that died that is keeping all this children there and that's when he attacks her. Sam and Dean get there in that exact moment but it's kind of too late, because he possessed Mary.
That was an scary moment for me, I was really afraid for her and for both Sam and Dean, but Mary is really strong and she got a few seconds out of the possession and warned the boys.
Sam finds the remains of the man and burns them and everything ends up fine.
Meanwhile all of this is happening, Castiel is after Lucifer, and some of the funnier moments in the episode happen with them. First, with Castiel impersonating a FBI agent called Beyoncé. Just Castiel to come up with something like that. And second, Catiel teaming up with Crowley! That was really really funny and I really enjoyed it!
Also, while Castie and Crowley are looking from Lucifer, we see the later with Rowena. He's demanding her to make his vessel permanent, so he doesn't die but, Rowena being Rowena, of course she tricks him and makes his vessel decay even faster and ends up sending him to the bottom of the ocean, and that's when Crowley and Castiel find her, to which she says she would help them if they come across Lucifer again.
And, the episode ends with a very sad scene - Mary leaving.
That's right, Mary tells Sam and Dean that she doesn't feel good with them, that everything is different from what it used to be, from what she had in heaven and she says that she needs some time for herself and leaves.
Of course Sam and Dean get extremely sad and I just feel so bad for Dean, I wish I could hug him. He looked really really sad.
But yeah, it seems like we won't have Mamma Winchester for a while and, from the preview for next week, we are going to keep going with the cases and have a break from all the Man of Letters (and probably Lucifer as well) storyline.
I'm kind of happy with that, even though I think the Man of Letters storyline is going to turn out to be an huge storyline but yeah... Let's see.
Until then, I'll see you soon with a brand new TVD rant.
Love,
Daniela.


Arrow | Season 5 Episode 4 - "Penance"


Spoiler Alert!

New episode of Arrow and quite an exciting one!
With Arrow I never know what to expect, because sometimes the preview seems pretty exciting and then I get disappointed and other times I don't really expect much from the episodes and it surprises me so, it's always an adventure. And, with this episode I was kind of surprised, in a good way, although it wasn't like an huge episode.
There some few bits that I really enjoyed like the whole Diggle storyline and, again, the flashbacks (I never liked the flashbacks as much as I like them now).
But yeah, in this episode we are back to the Church storyline, for one part of the episode and, for the other part, like I said before, it's the Diggle storyline.
To be quite honest with you, I don't really like the Church storyline, overall. I don't really see him as a strong villain and, in terms of villains, I'm way more excited about Prometheus (who wasn't even mentioned in this episode, I might add).
But back to the storyline...
So, we beggin the episode with the new team capturing an associate of Church, just to get into a trap.
Basically, they get a device that they thought Church wanted but in fact, he really wanted the device to get into the SCPD evidence room so it would blow up and they could get in to get guns and stuff.
And, all of this happened in a bad timming because, while this was happening, Oliver was trying to get Diggle out of the military prison.
That part of the episode, just like I said, was my favourite.
I wasn't really happy with the story they were writting for Diggle but it seems like he's kind of back because, obviously, Oliver got him out of the prison and, to be honest, I think it's just a matter of time for him to re-join the team so, let's see...
Some other part of the episode, and other character that I'm starting to like is Rory (and in this episode, his whole 'thing' with Felicity). 
Out of all the new members, he's the only one that I really like (apart from Curtis, for me Curtis was part of the team for a long time so, he doesn't really count). Rory seems like a genuine kind and loveable guy so I'm liking him!
But, back to the Church storyline... A lot more happened, while Oliver was out.
So the team locates where Church is and what he's going to do so they decide to go after him, after all, this might be their only chance. But, as you can imagine, things don't really go well and Rene aka Wild Dog gets behind and Church gets him. He doesn't kill him but he takes him for 'interrogation' and that's basically how the episode ends.
I mean, Oliver gets back and finds out about all of this and says that they have to find Rene and that's when the episode ends.
Also, I just wanted to point out that the new DA, Adrian, the one in the banner, is really handsome and he's also a character that I'm starting to love. Just wanted to let you know that.
And, because I have to talk about the flashbacks, basically what happens is that Oliver has his third test to get into the Bratva and he ends it, finally becoming part of the Bratva 'family'.
Like I said, overall it was an interesting episode, with all the Diggle stuff and the new characters that I'm liking but, I just feel like the villain this season is a bit week. Please, let me know what you think, I wanna know if I'm the only one feeling this way.
Ok, I guess this is it for this rant. I'll see you tomorrow with a brand new Supernatural rant.
Love,
Daniela.

American Horror Story: Roanoke | Season 6 Episode 7 - "Chapter 7"


Spoiler Alert!

So, as we get closer to the end we get more into the story and, although this wasn't my favourite episode, by a mile, should I add, we got pretty big leads to the mistery that we (audience) is trying to unsolve - Who is the only person to end up alive?
I'll get into the details about my theory in the end of this post so now, lets focus on the events that happened in this episode.
The first scenes show us Sidney and his crew on the trailer watching what is happening in the house, and that's when they argue about something and one of the crew members goes to get something (that I don't really remember what) and that's when Sidney and the camera man that is there with him hear something weird and find that one crew member dead.
That's when Agnes appears, still mad and thinking that she's the butcher and kills both of them, just like she did on that one crew member.
Meanwhile in the house, a lot of argues happen and that's when Agnes appears and stabs Shelby.
In order to get help for Shelby, Monet, Audrey and Lee go into the woods, just to be found by the Polk family, the real Polk family, one of them being portrayed by Finn Wittrock.
The Polks end up cuting off one of Lee's leg and feeding it to Audrey and Monet.
Back to the house, we see Matt sleepwaking and going into the cellar, to meet with Scathach (Lady Gaga's character) to have sex. Dominic follows him and sees everything, in which he goes upstairs and wakes up Shelby to go and watch it as well.
Shelby get's really angry thinking that Scathach was forcing Matt into it but that's when Matt tells that he loves her and she's the reason why he came back to the house. Shelby gets really mad and one of the most surprising scenes happen. Shelby kills Matt!
I got to tell you, I wasn't expecting it at all and, at first, I thought Shelby would be the one to be the only one alive but with this, I don't think so.
Anyway, back to the story. After this, Agnes comes back to the house and lights a fire outside. That's when the real Butcher appears with her mob and kills Agnes stabbing her in the face. And that's how the episode end.
Just like I said, not my favourite. Overall, I think it was too dramatic and too many people dyed in this episode, making it seem like they were rushing to get to the end, afterall, there's only 3 episodes left. But, the question you must be thinking about right now is - Which is your theory on who's going to sruvive? Well, I'm going to tell you.
Lee. Lee is the only one to survive, I'm pretty sure of it. And I'll tell you why. First of all, she is kind of one of the main characters, or to be more specific, one of the 'real' characters, which I always thought it was going to be one of those three to survive. Then, she's not in the house right now and she's not dead (I think) because the Polks only cut her left off. Also, Sidney basically did this second season to prove that it was Lee who killed Mason and, to top it all off, she said in this episode "This camera is my story." which proves my point, this is her story so she's the only one to survive.
I don't know, it seems a pretty solid theory but let me know your thoughts and who do you think it's going to be the only survivor.
And I'll see you later with a brand new Arrow rant.
Love,
Daniela.

The Flash | Season 3 Episode 4 - "The New Rogues"


Spoiler Alert!

Back to the basics!
That's right, this week's episode of The Flash was just like we were used to see from the series, a new meta-human and Barry/The Flash trying to catch him. Just, this time, he had a sidekick - Jesse Quick.
In last week's episode we got introduced to Jesse being a speedster, and in this episode she got in action with Barry. Unfortunately, she had to leave by the end of the episode, but we'll talk about that later.
Anyway so, my first thoughts about this episode are that is was nice to see something like we were used to, not related to Dr. Alchemy, even though I do like his storyline and I want to know more. Something that I don't really liked or, I mean, I was kind of sad about was the fact that Tom Felton isn't in this episode. I've already said that I was really excited to see him in the show and when he got introduced in episode 2 I got really excited because, although his character may be kind of annoying sometimes, I really like him and I think he brings a new dymanic to the show, which I really enjoy, and which we didn't see in the episode. So, that was basically the only down thing for me about this episode.
But yeah, basically the storyline of this episode is about two former cohorts of Snart, that three years about got caught by the original particle accelerator and that just now came back, at least, one of them. And, just like I said before, Barry and Jesse go after them. 
You already know how this works, they don't get to catch them the first time they go after them and Barry ends up trapped inside a mirror, which was quite fun. And, the way they manage to get Barry out of there first, is with some type of 'thing' (that I don't really remember the name, I'm not that geek) but it doesn't work and, secretely, Caitlin uses her powers to freeze the mirror in order to Barry get out of there. That scene was pretty cool, mostly because it is tied with the very last scene, the one that I'm always excited about (and that I'll talk more in the end of the rant). 
So they go after them the second time and yeah, they get them and 'everything ends up nice'.
Some other pretty cool mini-storyline in this episode is the Team going after a new Wells, from other Earth (because 'our' Wells is going back to Earth-2). It was a really funny scene, to see all the different types of Wells and all. They agree in one and, in the end of the episode, he comes to our Earth and he gets introduced to the whole Team and everything. I'm excited about this Wells because he seems way funnier and likable.
And yeah, I guess it's time to talk about that last scene, which this time isn't Alchemy related but Caitlin related.
That's right, he are going to have a 'major' Caitlin storyline and guess what it is going to be? Killer Frost!
I already knew that we were going to have this storyline because episode 7 is called "Killer Frost", but it is still exciting to see our Caitlin dealing with the transformations. And that's basically what we see in this last seconds of the episode, Caitlin taking a shower and accidentally freezes the water, ending in her appearance starting to look alot like her Earth-2 doppleganger - the 'frozen' lips and the 'white' hair (for now, just a bit of hair).
And yeah, this is it guys. 
I got to say that I'm pretty excited about the Killer Frost storyline, although I'm also curious about Alchemy.
Anyway, let me know in the comments what you thought about this episode and if you are excited about Killer Frost's 'comeback'.
Love,
Daniela.

The Vampires Diaries | Season 8 Episode 1 - "Hello Brother"


Spoiler Alert!

The beginning of the end started!
That's right guys, it is confirmed, season 8 of TVD is going to be it's last. I've known this for a while but I never got to mention it here on the blog so, although this is a happy post, because it's the return of The Vampire Diaries, this is also a sad one because it means it's the last TVD Season Premiere.
Also, although I'm so happy about this season (which I'll get into in a minute) I'm extremely sad that my favourite series of all time is coming to an end. 
If you follow me for a while on other social medias, you know that I've been here for this show since it's beginning! Seves years here for the show! I got through so many things in my life while watching this, I've been here since Stefan and Elena first met, I saw Katherine returning and dying, I've been here through all the amazing K's (Katherine, Klaus, Kol and Kai) and I even got to meet the cast last year and the fact this series is ending makes me so sad. And, that's why I've decided to record my reaction to the last episode (which is still a few months away, thank god) and put it on my youtube channel. It's going to envolve a lot of tears for sure but I just want to have this memory forever in my life.
Anyway, enough of sadness and let's get into Friday's amazing episode!
I gotta tell you, first of all, that I was pretty excited for this episode (and for this whole season, to be honest) because since is it's last, the producers have some pretty cool stuff planned for this season, one of them being that every episode it's going to be named after an iconic line from the first season and, this episode the name was, as you may have already noticed, "Hello Brother", the first iconic line from Damon.
And, this episode really was all about Damon! Damon and Stefan, Stefan being on the hunt after Damon.
As we saw in the end of last season, Damon and Enzo got under some type of 'spell' from that thing, that we know now it's called Sybil, and that's basically how this episode starts, with Damon and Enzo killing some people on the road.
We learn that Damon shut off his humanity and that he doesn't feel any remorse from what he's doing, but Enzo does, and that's why when they kill their last victims, he leaves some clues for Bonnie and Stefan to find them.
They end up finding them, and that's when Damon says he's iconic line "Hello Brother". Stefan and Bonnie soon realize that Damon and Enzo are not themselves and, after threatening Bonnie's life, they decide to leave.
Later we find out that Enzo does still cares, and just pretends that he doesn't in order to Sybil not hurting Bonnie. And, Bonnie also does realizes that, right in the end of the episode, when she's thinking about moments between them and she remembers a book that he used to read to her and that he's leaving clues related to that same book.
Meanwhile, we also learn that Alaric is now the head of the Armory and that him and his interns start to search for something in the vault, finding out an hidden passage which leads to some secret 'room' with ancient remains having distinct Greek roots.
And, we also have to talk about Caroline, who is also searching for clues while taking care of the twins, with the help of the new nany, Seline (portrayed by Kristen Gutoskie). 
As expected, a new character had to be threatned in the first episode so, obviously, Seline is attacked. By who you ask? Virginia St. John, who escaped the mental institution.
Luckily, Caroline gets there on time and saves Seline as well as the kids. Caroline tries to get some answers from Virgina but she ends up bleeding to death.
In the very end of the episode the most exciting thing of the whole episode happens, we see Sybil rise from the blook tank where she was in. And yes, she's a girl. And that's how the episode ends.
But I've seen some spoilers/curiosities, and I've learned that Sybil feeds from the sins of the people, that's why Damon and Enzo where looking for people that have commited some pretty dark sins.
And that's pretty much it guys.
I gotta tell you, I really liked this episode! Not that it had some pretty big plot twists or anything but the whole aesthetic of the episode and mainly the ending where really good so I think it made up for the rest of the episode. Also I can see that this season is a lot more gory and a lot more like season 1 so this got me really excited for the rest of the season.
Let me know your thoughts about the last season premiere of The Vampire Diaries and I don't think it's soon enough so tell me how to you think the series is going to end (keeping in mind that Julie said that Klaus is going to be in the last episode).
Until next week.
Love,
Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 12 Episode 2 - "Mamma Mia"


Spoiler Alert!

Back with a Supernatural rant and with a better opinion about this episode.
That's right, this week's episode was bette than the last one, although, it still wasn't enough for me. I guess I'm used to Supernatural having like big plot twists and bigger storylines and this time, I haven't felt that.
I know that there's plenty of people that are enjoying this season so far and, don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying it, I'm just not surprised or 'amazed' by the storyline so far. I mean, I know you can't really top a storyline with God and all but still... I'm waiting for that big plot twist that will make me fall in love wih this season.
Anyway, let's talk about the actual events that happened in this episode.
So, Toni keeps interrogating Sam. This time, making him hallucinate that he's having sex with her and all, something that happened in the first seconds of the episode and that got me really confused. I quickly thought about it being some type of hallucination and that Toni was messing with his mind so I wasn't really surprised when they showed us that it was really that what was happening.
Something that really surprised me was her asking him about Ruby. And then, they didn't touch that subject at all through out the whole episode so it got me wondering if we are going to have Ruby back or if she's important to this season's storyline because I can't see her relating to what it is happening at all!
Also in this episode Dean finally founds out where Toni is keeping Sam but let's just say that things don't work like it was supposed to.
So, Castiel finds the warded farm house, but he can't get inside because it's protected against angels (i think) so he has to ask Dean to get inside. Obviously, Mary doesn't stay behind. Not that Dean didn't want that but you see, Dean's stubbornness had to come from someone and guess who that someone is? Yes, that's right, his mum, so obviously she goes along with him, and thank god she does because right when Dean is about to find Sam, he gets trapped and Toni gets him and tortures him in front of Sam. That's when Mary comes in and fights with her, distracting her long enough for Dean to get free and knock Toni out. I got to say, that fight scene between Mary and Toni was one of the best scenes in that episode. Really liked to see Mary being so badass!
As they are about to leave, that's when Mick from the Men of Letters comes in, letting Castiel in as well, telling them that Toni went to far and that the Men of Letters want to work with hunters like the Winchesters to keep American safe.
Let's just say I don't really buy that, mostly because in the end of the episode, when Mick is talking with Toni he tells her that he has already sent for their torturer just in case so, I don't know what he's up to, I just know that it is nothing good.
Anyway, but since the Winchesters don't knoe anything they get back to their bunker 'happily ever after', and that's when we get better glimpse of Sam and Mary's relationship, which is so cute.
I got to say that I loved that last scene where they are all at the table eating and, although it isn' really Sam related, Mary gives Dean pie and he just starts eating it like... like Dean usually does and she says if he can't eat it quicker. It was just a really funny, yet beautiful scene. As well as the last scene when Sam gives Mary John's journal and they hug and it is just beautiful.
But, this episode wasn't just about Toni and the Winchesters. In this episode we got to see Lucifer back and with a new vessel! As well as Crowley working with Rowena to try and get Lucifer back in the cage, not working that well, as you can imagine, resulting in Crowley vanishing and Lucifer taking Rowena prisoner so, you know what that means right? Crowley turning to the Winchesters for help (I bet).
Anyway, so this is my thoughts about the episode.
It sure had it's moments, like the relationship between Sam and Mary as well as Dean and Mary, but overall wasn't an huge episode. I'm still waiting for that one.
Next weeks episode seems interesting. Looks like we are getting back to the brothers (and now Mary) going after monsters, which is always nice to see and now with the mum, it's going to be even more interesting.
Let me know your thoughts about the episode and tell me your predictions for the future episodes.
Love,
Daniela.
