TV Review:The Fades(1.02)

                                                                           The Fades(1.02)Review
  • I really enjoyed Mac giving a recap at the beginning of the episode.
  • I found it really disturbing that the fades eat people alive in order to be able to touch.
  • I was glad to see Paul struggle with trying to say goodbye and in the end I like that he choose to try and live two separate lives.
  • I continue to love the random conversations and the friendship between Paul and Mac.
  • I liked that we got to learn more about Mac and his home life.
  • I find it interesting that Paul seems to be able to heal things at certain times and I wonder what makes him so special.
  • I also continue to like relationship between Paul and Jay.
  • I felt bad for Sara having to watch her husband with someone else but I wonder if she's going to be important to the overall plot.
  • I was worried about Neil towards the end of the episode but it appears he has lived through the attack.

TV Review: Revenge:Guilt(1.05)

                                                         Revenge:Guilt(1.05)Review
  • In this episode Lydia comes back to reclaim her place but in the end she’s tricked, scorned and killed for her efforts.
  • I was worried that Lydia would find exposed Emily’s true identity and I’m glad that my worries were unfounded.
  • I’m glad that Daniel found out about Tyler’s lies and that he doesn’t want to be like his parents. I'm also happy that Emily and Daniel made up.
  • I’m glad that Charolette still hasn’t forgiven Victoria about what she said about her yet.
  • I liked that Nolan takes the promises he made to Amanda’s dad seriously about looking after her and I was glad that it was confirmed he’s most definitely against murder which makes me wonder is Emily against it or not.
  • I’m also curious about weather Frank’s way of dealing with things was suppose to be murder but I wonder what else he could have possibly meant and I wonder how the Graysons would feel if they saw Nolan’s tape.

TV Review: Revenge:Duplicity(1.04)

                                                     Revenge:Duplicity(1.04)Review

  • In this episode Emily destroys a therapist named Michelle Banks and I have to say I probably hate her the most so far.
  • In this episode Daniel’s friend Tyler screws up Daniel’s relationship with Emily and manipulates him into drinking again. I really dislike Tyler.
  • I enjoyed the scenes between Emily and Jack and I wouldn’t mind the two of them getting together, also I find it kind of funny that Nolan seems to ship them.
  • I thought that Charolette and Declan were sweet in the scenes they shared with each other.
  • I felt really bad for Charolette in the scene were the video revealed that Victoria wish she never had a second child and I really dislike Victoria for that scene and the one were she makes sure Amanda would be put in a mental hospital for the rest of her childhood.
  • I also liked how Emily seems to be trying to frame Victoria as the person who's destroying everyones lives now.

TV Review:Secret Circle:Masked(1.07)

                                                                                Secret Circle:Masked(1.07)Review
  • I think that Jake is an evil psycho because of the glee he took in murdering the shopkeeper Mr.Wilson and he didn’t seem to care much about his brother’s death.
  • I’m glad that the show is showing that Melissa is still mourning Nick and I’m glad she told Jake off for not being around.
  • I liked seeing more of Adam’s dad in this episode.
  • For some odd reason this episode made me ship Adam and Diana even more and I really hope they can end up together in the end.
  • I think that the show is going to have Cassie’s dad be the same person he was in the book which I think would make things interesting.
  • I was surprised that Luke was a witch hunter and I was surprised with Cassie having some sort of dark magic in her and her killing him.
  • I disliked Faye going after Jake again but it seems like she’s going to stop doing that after this episode.
  • I enjoyed the scene with Faye and Melissa making the bats come alive.
  • The scene towards the end of the episode were Adam basically tells Diana that she’s his everything made me cry.
  • I’m curious about who stole the crystal at the end of the episode.

                                                                                     Grimm:Pilot(1.01)Review
  • I really liked how the show was able to balance the cop part and the fairytales are really parts of the plot.
  • I think that Nick is a really good main character, I loved how well he was able to profile that girl at the beginning, that he wishes to only be married once, and I liked that he was really determined to solve the case. I also liked that even though he’s having a hard time expecting things that his main goal is to still save the little girl.
  • I liked all the allusions to Little Red Riding Hood through out the episode and I’m glad that it never really seemed forced.
  • I really liked Nick’s aunt Marie and I’m glad that she woke up from her coma at the end of the episode.

  • I thought that the man that was the big bad wolf was very creepy and I’m so glad that the little girl was saved at the end of the episode.
  • I found it interesting that the blonde women whose some sort of creature is a lawyer who hopes to become a senior partner, I wonder if this is a reference to Angel. I’m also glad that she and the guy at the end seem like their going to be the main villains of the series or season.

TV Review: Ringer:A Whole New Kind of Bitch(1.05)

                                       Ringer:A Whole New Kind of Bitch(1.05)Review

In this episode Bridget tries to convince Gemma to keep her secret and Gemma tries to get Bridget to trigger the infidelity clause in the pre nub. Also in this episode Andrew’s daughter Juliet is back and still has a drug problem and hates Sioban. Elsewhere Malcom is still being torture for information but he’s still not saying anything and it looks like he may have been killed for his silence. At the end of the episode we see a lot of blood in Henry’s apartment and I wouldn’t be surprised if he had killed Gemma.

I overall really liked the plot involving Juliet, I like how she parallels Bridget in some ways and it gave us a little more information on Sioban and Andrew’s past. I sort of liked and sort disliked the parts with Gemma but I could understand why she acted the way she did. Please tell me your thoughts on the episode.

TV Review: The Fades(1.01)

                                                                  The Fades(1.01)Review
  • I found the whole idea of the show to be really interesting especially the part were the fades are just dead people who didn’t ascend but there neither good nor bad just dead. I’m interested in finding out what the creatures that attack at the began and end of the episode is and why it’s different then the other fades.
  • I really liked the friendship between Paul and Mac. I enjoy there conversations like when Mac keeps talking about Paul’s problems in movie terms and when Paul talks about who he wants to write his life story.
  • I really liked the character of Paul and I liked the way he came to terms with seeing the dead and possibly the future. I also felt really bad for him in the scene with his therapist when says he just wants to not see things.
  • I liked the scene between Paul and his sister’s friend were they talk about being different.
  • For some reason I like Paul’s sister who comes off as a dumb bitch but maybe that’s why I find her entertaining also she’s played by Lilly Loveless who I know from Skins.
  • I liked that there’s already a group of people with the sight who are fighting the fades and I’m glad that the one guy seems like he’s going to be a mentor for Paul.
  • I’m curious as to why Sara was unable to cross over and I wonder what kind of role she’s going to play since she’s already dead.
Please tell me your thoughts.

  • I can’t help but like Daniel because he clearly regrets what he’s done in the past and he has changed and he wants make amends. I wouldn’t blame Emily if she really fell for him.
  • I was surprised that Victoria tried to save Emily’s father when she found evidence that proved his innocence.

  • I loved that Charles remind remorseful through out the episode.

  • I’m glad that Melissa mourned throughout the episode.
  • My heart completely broke Diana during and after she broke up with Adam. Weirdly cried more for Diana being alone then I did when Nick died.

In this episode Bridget celebrates her birthday as Sioban. I enjoyed the flashbacks we got the Bridget and Sioban’s past birthday it allowed us to see how much their relationship has changed over the years.

Manga Review: Sakura Hime:The Legend of Princess Sakura V.2

                            Sakura Hime: The legend of Princess Sakura V.2: Review
In the second volume Princess Sakura is given chance to be under the Emperor’s protection if she is able to defeat a Youko that has been killing people in the mountains and she’ll be able to return home and break off her engagement with Aoba. Through out the volume we learn that despite everything Princess Sakura loves Aoba and he half loves her and half hates her which makes for a complicated relationship.

In this volume there’s a Youko who’s been controlling or working with the Councilor and when Oumi, one of Sakura’s lady in waiting discovers this she’s threaten with death if she doesn’t trick Princess Sakura into going into a trap. I’m glad that Oumi decides to not trick Princess Sakura but I found her death scene were she tells the Princess about how her family died from being attack by youkos and how she sorry that she has a hard time accepting Sakura and Asagiri because of it.

I overall really enjoyed this volume and look forward to reading the next one. I continued to love Princess Sakura but I missed her friendship with Kohaku. I liked learning more Aoba since it made me like his character more. I’m also curious about the Youko that wants Sakura to become an Youko that killed Oumi towards the end.

TV Review: Alphas:Blind Spot(1.09)

                                               Alphas:Blind Spot(1.09)Review    

In this episode the group detains Hearn, a blind alpha with sonar and he is followed by an alpha with the ability to make people unable to see her, Griffin. Hearn works for Red Flag and tries to convince Dr.Rosen join him and they have a very interesting conversation about alphas and their future. I found the character Griffin charismatic and hope we see her again, I like that she doesn’t really play for either side.

Also in this episode Hicks is upset that Rosen told Nina it may be a bad idea for the two of them to have a relationship, I personally thinks Rosen is probably right and was annoyed by Hicks refusing to even listen to his reasoning. I find it interesting that Bill loosing his abilities for a little while made him accept them more when he regained them. I overall really liked this episode. Please tell me your thoughts on the episode.

  • I’m intrigued by the episode opening 5 months later with the murder of Daniel Garyson and I wonder who killed him and why.

  • I also love that Amanda/Emily engineered a meet cute between herself and Daniel.
  • I’m curious about the relationship between Jack and Amanda and how it’s going to play out since they seemed to be good friends in the past and it’s pretty clear he and his family aren’t part of the group that betrayed her father.
  • I’m curious about Nolan and what’s his relationship with Amanda is going to be exactly since it’s pretty clear that he knows what’s Amanda is up to but she’s rejecting his help.
  • I was shocked by the reveal that Amanda’s father was in love with Victoria.

  • I liked that Faye tries to protect Melissa but it kind of seems like Faye wants to be more then friends with Melissa.

TV Review: Ringer: If You Want a French Lesson..(1.03)

                                    Ringer: If You Want a French Lesson..(1.03)Review

              
In this episode Bridget tries to figure out who sent the kill order on Sioban and she finds some evidence to suggest that it might have been Andrew. Through investigating Andrew Bridget discovers that Sioban had been to a divorce lawyer and he believed she was afraid of her husband but by the end of the episode it’s clear that Andrew isn’t the person who sent the kill order and I like the relationship him and Bridget are developing quite a lot.

Also in this episode Malcom is tortured for information on Bridget and I felt very bad for him through out those scenes since he’s one of my favorite characters. Also Sioban tries to have an affair with some guy named Tyler but then discovers her pregnancy. I overall really enjoyed this episode and I think it’s my favorite so far. Please tell me your thoughts on the episode.
