1. Rick Riordan: I own 9 books buy him because I love his series Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Heroes of Olympus and The Kane Chronicles although I obviously don't own all of the books in these series expect Percy Jackson I plan to one day and I have loved every book of his that I have read and always look forward to reading more of his books in the future.
2. Ellen Hopkins: I own 7 books by Ellen Hopkins and I have read five of them and I have loved them all because of how she uses easy to understand poetry to tell her stories which always seem to cover heavy topics in ways that don't feel preachy. I loved all of her books that I have read but if I was to put them in order it would be Impulse, Perfect, Tricks, Tilt(mostly because of Shane), and Identical, I loved all these books and if anyone would like me to expand on my reasoning for the order I'd love to write about it because I would love to be able to talk about her books at length.
3. Ally Carter: I own 8 books by her because of my love for the Gallagher Girls and Heist Society series these are both fun series about young girls that are filled with action-adventure, friendship, humor and romance which I love all of these things and there just great fun to read.
4.Natsuki Takaya: I own 25 books by her because my favorite work of fiction of all time is the Fruits Basket manga which she has written and that happens to be 23 volumes long and I would recommend that series to everyone whether they think manga is there thing or not because it has the best story, character development and writing that I have ever encountered and I feel that everyone should read this series because of this. I also feel that everyone should read Fruits Basket because it's a series where characters have to overcome a lot of things but they are shown to be able to overcome those things even when it feels impossible and they have to overcome those things by putting in a lot of effort which I think helps to inspire people to improve themselves. Also if anyone who reads this is a fan of Fruits Basket I would love to discuss the series with you.
5. Clamp: I own 67 books by Clamp but that is no where near close to most of the books that they have written since they have tons of series that they have been writing together for the past twenty years and I have loved everything that I have read of their's so far even though some of their series are very strange. I love Cardcaptor Sakura which is a very happy story that is about love in all it's forms as well as a young girl having to capture and control magic cards, I loved Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle which is about a group of misfits who travel across dimensions together and form a make shift family and then things get dark and sad then confusing to the point that nothing makes sense anymore. I love Tokyo Babylon even though for quite sometime it feels not much happens but when things start happening I felt like my heart was ripped out trampled on thrown through a woodchopper and then shoved back in my chest in summary the ending is completely heartbreaking in the best way possible. I love Magic Knight Rayearth which is about three young girls that have to save another world and become very close friends very quickly things don't turn out the way the expected it would. There's quite a few other series by Clamp I love but these four are my favorites and if list all their series it would take far too long but I definitely recommend their stuff if you're looking for something different.

TV Review: Teen Wolf: The Benefactor(4.04)
Teen Wolf: The Benefactor(4.04)Review
- I liked how the Sherriff had asked for Derek's advice when looking on Sean's body to help identify what Sean was and what might have killed him, I also liked how even though Scott didn't mention Liam Derek could tell someone else was up there.
- I liked how Scott called Stiles over to help him deal with Liam, I liked how Stiles summarized that Scott had bit then kidnapped Liam and I liked how when Stiles mentioned how bad of an idea that was that Scott says he panicked and that he called Stiles to come up with a better idea.
- I liked how Scott and Stiles tried to explain what was happening to Liam but neither of them thought that to use the word werewolf to explain what was happening to them.
- I liked how when Stiles mentioned that Liam could die that Liam started crying and Scott tried to comfort him and reassure him that he was going to be okay but Stiles kept mentioning he could die and Scott told him to stop that.
- I liked how when Scott and Stiles untied Liam that he attacked them and made a run for it that they seemed surprised that he would do that and Stiles seemed down right offend by it.
- I liked how Stiles was helping Malia prepare for the full moon that he was also telling her about what happened with Liam, I also liked how when the Sherriff walks in and sees Stiles putting chains on Malia that he says he doesn't even want to know.
- I liked how when Kira saw the math notes that Lydia gave Malia she said no wonder Malia's failing and I liked that Lydia figured out that it looked like a computer code.
- I liked how when Liam mentioned that he ran all the way to school that Mason seemed really concerned about him.
- I liked that when Scott and Stiles cornered Liam in the hallway that Stiles was the one that yelled at Liam and came off as the more aggressive one.
- I can't believe that Scott used Derek's lines about being brothers and the bite being a gift to try to win over Liam and I liked that Stiles was all like Scott stop that won't work which it didn't.
- I liked how Derek seemed to take pleasure in causing Peter pain in order to burn the wolfsbane out.
- I liked how it was mentioned in this episode that during the full moons that Stiles helps Malia out and that she held in Lydia's lake house basement during that time which she doesn't want to share with Liam.
- I liked that Stiles came up with the idea of chloroforming Liam and kidnapping him in order to get him to the lake house and that Malia was the only that agreed with this idea, I just love that these two share each others questionable morals.
- I liked how Lydia suggested that Kira be the one to lure Liam to the lake house because she's a vixen and I liked that Stiles and Malia gave Kira the once over approvingly.
- I liked how Kira ended up falling down the stairs during her sexy walk sequence and that Liam was still way into her even after she fell.
- I liked how Derek shared with the Sherriff what he knew about the mute and that the Sherriff was concerned about how he could eat without a mouth.
- I liked how Parrish was able to make the connection that the mute was somehow involved with the military and with his computer skills was able to let the Sherriff and Derek know where to find the mute and that he was an assassin.
- I liked how Kira was all kinds of cute and awkward on the car ride to the lake house and how when asked who was coming to the party she said that everyone was which led Liam to inviting his friend Mason to the party.
- I liked how Stiles figured out why Liam was kicked out if his old school which was because of attacked his teacher's car with a crowbar which shows he has anger issues.
- I liked how when they arrived at the lake house Liam was suspicious about the lack of people there and that Kira just oh so cute and awkwardly ushered him into the house.
- I liked how it was explained to Liam that Scott: werewolf, Malia: werecoyote, Lydia: banshee and Kira: kitsune and that when he asked Stiles what he was Stiles says that he was possessed by an evil spirit that was very evil(I liked how Stiles was very clearly trying to make a joke out of it but due to how he didn't use the word nogitsune I think it's safe to say that it isn't something that's easy for him to make light of) and I liked how when asked what he was now that Stiles said better although there was a question mark there.
- I liked that Liam started to think that the whole pack was crazy which due the information he just got is pretty understandable but the moon started to effect him so Scott and Kira helped him out to the lake house which he still wasn't willing to trust him at this time so it took some effort to chain him up.
- I liked how before Stiles left to go with Malia that Stiles told Lydia to throw a party as what to do with freshmen outside her door because he knows that she knows how to do that.
- I liked how Malia kept telling Stiles that he go after he chains her up and that Stiles keeps telling her that he'd rather be with her then up at the party.
- I liked how when Kira says that Liam looks so young that Scott says that he is young.
- I liked how after seeing Lydia freak out about the price of things in the kitchen when the keg guy came in that Garrett ended up paying for the keg.
- I liked how when Malia had broken free of one of her chains and kept telling Stiles to leave because she was so sure that she would hurt him that he told that he was never going to do that.
- I liked how when Scott told Kira that he could hear the music from the party and that it was electronic that she told him about how she preferred slower songs because she likes to slow dance and then Scott plays a slower song for the two of them to dance to.
- I liked how Kira asked Scott about his self control and how she kissed him and sucked on his ear in order to raise his heart rate to show she could have an affect on him which she did.
- I liked how Mason spent his time at the party looking Liam and that when Lydia accidently split wine on the carpet and started freaking out that he was there to comfort her and told her he would help her remove the stain from the carpet.
- I felt bad for Lydia when she admitted that the lake house had to remain in perfect condition because her family needs every penny because their having money trouble.
- I liked how Derek and the Sherriff went together to track the mute in the high school and that they figured out the mutes explosive trap before it could kill them.
- I liked how Stiles was able to talk Malia down by telling her he knows she's afraid of hurting him like she did her family and that he trusts that she won't hurt him. I liked how Stiles went on to talk about how he felt when the nogitsune possessed him how he felt powerful, fearless and in control which makes a lot of sense given the helplessness he had been feeling involving the supernatural since late season one but that he had learned control was overrated and then he unlocks Malia to show he trust her and she was able to regain control over herself pretty quickly.
- I was surprised to learn that Garrett and his girlfriend seem to be assassins also working for the benefactor.
- I liked how after Liam escaped and Scott went after him and Scott was trying to calm him down and explain what was happening but then Liam started blaming Scott and you could tell just how guilty Scott felt about this because he almost let Liam slash his throat but luckily Chris Argent arrived with his flashing arrows and Scott was safe and Liam ran away again.
- I liked how Chris told Scott that he got his text and that he thinks that Liam will listen to Scott if he uses his own words.
- I liked how Derek and Sheriff worked together to capture the mute and that the Sherriff was actually arresting him when Peter came along and killed the mute while Derek and the Sherriff watched horrified.
- I liked how the Sheriff held his gun pointed at Peter until he left and I liked how Derek told Peter that they had found a better way and I liked how Peter called himself a creature of habit.
- I liked how Liam told Scott about why he got kicked out of school and how guilty he felt about it especially how his mom and stepdad looked at him with such disappointment and I liked how he called himself a monster and Scott reassured that he wasn't a monster but a werewolf like him.
- I liked how Kira found Lydia and Lydia told her how she found out the key for the code and that the key was Allison and that code was hit list of supernatural creatures and we could clearly see most of the main cast was on it.
TV Review: Teen Wolf: Muted(4.03)
Teen Wolf: Muted(4.03)Review
- I felt bad for Sean and his family at the beginning of the episode when all of them other than Sean was killed by a mouthless guy.
- I liked how when Braeden put her boots on the table and Peter complained that the table was Italian that she remarked so are her boots, I liked how Derek smirked at her remark.
- I like how Derek and Peter are hiring Braeden to find Kate and that Derek was willing to pay any price and I like that Peter was upset that if they don't get the money back he may have to get a job. I also like that Derek wants to find out about why his eyes have changed colors.
- I liked when Scott mentioned that he texted Chris about Kate being alive that Stiles pointed out that's not really something you tell someone over a text message then Scott mentions he can't afford to call France and Stiles mentions he's also having money trouble with final notices for paying for an MRI and a in Echien house.
- I liked how Stiles said that worrying about their place on the lacrosse team should be the least of their worries before they saw how good Liam was in goal.
- I liked how Melissa and the Sherriff when looking over the bodies of Sean's family members were trying to figure out whether or not the murders were supernatural and how the Sherriff mentioned if they aren't he wants to give the boys a day off which Melissa would agree with but she wonders when they can get a day off.
- I'm worried that Kira's parents seem to be planning on selling their house and moving back to New York but I'm pretty sure that won't end up happening but I'm still worried since I love Kira and I don't want her to leave.
- I liked that Kira argued that they couldn't move because of all the friends she made in Beacon Hills and how she knows they are different than other friends.
- I liked how Stiles and Scott cornered Liam about his amazing lacrosse abilities and how Stiles pretty much out right accused him of being supernatural while Scott believed him pretty quickly that he's just that good.
- I liked how Malia when she saw the board of the math class just tried to quietly slip away from class but sadly for her Stiles made her go to math class. I loved how Malia mentions that she hates math and she thinks it's pointless which I agree with her but Stiles and Lydia disagree and they bring up some pretty good points with Stiles saying it's good for tipping and Lydia mentioning things like medicine and engineering although that seems like why math is good for mankind not each individual person.
- I felt bad for Malia when she was asked to do math on the board despite not volunteering to come up to the board and I totally understand why she growled at Stiles when he gave her the thumbs up before she went up to the board.
- I liked that Lydia mentioned that she gave Malia notes and Malia mentioned that she didn't understand her notes and that Lydia ended up giving Malia the right answer to her problem.
- I liked how Braeden pretended to be a US marshal in order to gain access to files on the family that was ax murdered case.
- I liked that after Stiles found out about the ax murder that he tried to convince Scott and Kira to skip school in order to investigate the case neither of them wanted to and Kira suggested that they should just let the adults handle this one which is something Stiles found absurd.
- I loved how Scott causally kissed Kira before he left for class which led Kira to stand there in shock and Scott to notice his mistake until he was in class and then felt all kinds of awkward about it.
- I liked how Scott told Stiles about the kiss and how he asked about how he should make things less awkward and I liked that when Scott asks if he should text Kira that Stiles tells him to stop with the texts.
- I liked how in lacrosse tryouts we see that Stiles is just as bad as he's always been and that since Scott is no longer accidently tapping into his wolf powers he's not much better.
- I like how Stiles flat out admits that he is terrible at lacrosse and I liked how mad he was that some freshman was stealing Scott's captain position that he had worked so hard for last year away from him.
- I liked how when Kira told Malia how her and Scott were sort of a thing but not really that Malia asked Kira what she wanted and that what she wanted was more.
- I liked that Scott and Stiles actually worked pretty well together when they were defending the goal.
- I liked that when Liam managed to get past Scott and Stiles that Malia called for a do over and said she would put 10 dollars on Scott and Stiles and that Coach took that bet.
- I felt bad for Liam when it seemed he broke his ankle and I liked how bad Scott felt over it even though it was clearly an accident and he didn't even use his wolf powers to do it.
- I liked how Kira caught a ball with a lacrosse stick before it hit Malia's face almost accidently and Coach was then interested in her being a player for the team.
- I liked how Parrish didn't seem to alarmed to find Lydia at Sean's family home and that he mentioned Lydia has a reputation for finding dead bodies.
- I liked how Scott tried to tell Kira that he was sorry for making things awkward between the two of them but then he ended up coming back and telling Kira that he wasn't sorry and the two of them kissed and it was beautiful and they were both happy.
- I liked how Lydia ended up discovering a secret passage that led to a freeze full of dead bodies which really made me feel much less awful about Sean's family being murder earlier.
- I liked how Stiles reassured Scott that it's not his fault that Liam got hurt and that it's okay to want things for himself because he is only human in all the ways that matter after all.
- I liked that Derek actually ended up making the decision to trust Braeden after they shared a scene in which they were rather flirty with each other.
- I found the scene were Stiles helps Malia study to be really cute and I liked that Malia had a similar color coding system to the one that Stiles have which really seemed to touch him quite a bit as well. I also liked that we saw that the reason Malia didn't get Lydia's notes was because Lydia was writing down the same code that the mouthless guy was using on the computer.
- I liked that Kira had made sure that her parents open house wouldn't go well by chopping up all the signs and I liked how Kira twirled the lacrosse stick and smirked when her mom yelled for her.
- I felt bad for Liam when he was telling the doctor who seems to be a father figure to him that it was his own fault that his ankle got broken for going against two juniors and I liked how Scott overhearing this only feels more guilty about it.
- I found Sean being a wendigo that needs to eat human flesh to be very frightening and I liked that Scott saved his mom and she told him to go after him after she assured him she was okay.
- I liked how Scott offered to help Sean and asked him to let go of Liam but Sean said that he couldn't be helped.
- I was glad that Scott saved Liam's life but sad that the only way to do so was to give him the bite which Liam may not want and Scott will feel bad about giving it to him even though it was the only way he could keep him from dying.
- I find it odd how the mouthless guy after killing Sean made the shh movement to Scott as if he thinks of them being on the same side of the fight.
TV Review: The 100: Day Trip(1.08)
The 100: Day Trip(1.08)Review
- I liked how the episode started off with Bellamy looking at the grounder with what looks like regret whether it was over torturing him or with having to face the Chancellor soon.
- I liked how the Chancellor tried to get Clarke to forgive her mother but I also liked how Clarke couldn't just forgive her mother.
- I find it interesting that Shamway asks one of the 100 Dac who is someone who was locked up for killing someone to kill Bellamy in order to keep it secret that he's the one that had Bellamy shoot the Chancellor.
- I liked how Octavia still wanted to see the grounder and wanted to make sure that he was okay because he did save her life.
- I was sad that it seemed like Octavia really believed Bellamy when he told her a few episodes ago that she ruined his life but I liked that Bellamy told her that he didn't mean that although I'm not so sure she listened to him.
- I liked that Clarke asked Bellamy to come along with her to check out a supply depot and when he asked her why she would ask him of all people to go with her that she tells him she doesn't feel like being around anyone she actually likes and Bellamy looks like he's fighting a smile before he agrees to come with her.
- I liked how Jasper and Monty were discussing what was going to happen with the grounder, also I just really liked seeing both of them again because they haven't been around for awhile and I missed them.
- I really dislike how Finn seems like he's trying to come on to Clarke right in front of Raven that's just rude.
- I liked that Bellamy looked back to Octavia before he left the camp.
- I liked how Octavia brought water to the grounder and said she was sorry about what happened to him and that she realized that he doesn't understand English and that she ends up cleaning him up. I liked that we found out that the grounder's name is Lincoln.
- I liked how Lincoln knew that he would die and that he tells Octavia that he's the enemy even though Octavia doesn't want to believe him.
- I liked how Clarke confronted Bellamy about him avoiding the Chancellor and how he can't do that forever.
- I liked how Raven let Finn knew that she knew what he did with Clarke and while she not happy about it she also doesn't want to talk about because nothing good can come from talking about it and all that matters to her is that he still loves her.
- I liked how completely delighted Bellamy was to find guns in the supply depot.
- I liked how we first saw that people were getting high from something when Monty was talking about how he wanted to give earth a hug.
- I liked how when Jasper started seeing grounders that he ran to Octavia and he told her that he loved her and that she gave him an anti-grounder stick in order to protect himself.
- I liked how Octavia figured out what was making everyone high and made sure that everyone at camp was high so that she could help Lincoln escape later on.
- I liked that while Clarke didn't like the idea of bringing guns back to camp she wasn't going to argue with Bellamy about it since she knows that he's right about them needing them.
- I liked how Bellamy taught Clarke how to shoot a gun and I liked that when Clarke found that she liked shooting the gun she wondered if that made her a bad person.
- I liked that Clarke started talking to Bellamy about how they were going to keep guns around camp because it shows how much she thinks of him as her co-leader at the camp now.
- I liked that when Bellamy told Clarke that Miller was someone that she should keep close that she figured out that Bellamy was trying to leave camp.
- I liked how Bellamy's trip showed his guilt over shooting the Chancellor and over the 320 people that were killed because they couldn't contact the Ark in time, I liked that despite Bellamy having tried to justify these things earlier in the series is shown to have not actually think that he can here.
- I liked how Clarke hallucinated about her dad and he was there for her in order to get her to consider forgiving her mom. I liked how Clarke told her dad how hard she's trying and how people are counting her and how she let someone get tortured. I also liked how her dad told her that forgiveness isn't about what people deserve.
- I liked that Octavia helped Lincoln escape to save his life and that he worried that her helping him would get her hurt. I wasn't a big fan of their kiss though.
- I liked how Raven and Finn had to deal with all the high people at the camp.
- I'm confused about whether Finn let Lincoln escape or simply didn't recognize him.
- I was sad that Bellamy got to the point in his hallucination that he was begging the Chancellor to kill him and that he was told that life is a fight and that he has to earn the peace of death.
- I liked that when Bellamy was held at gunpoint by Dac and that Clarke came and defended him and that when Dac went after Clarke that Bellamy defended her and eventually killed Dac in self defense.
- I liked how relieved Clarke sounded when she said that Bellamy was okay and I liked how Bellamy confided in Clarke about how he isn't okay because all he does is hurt people and how he thinks he's a monster. I liked how Clarke told Bellamy that he saved her life, that even though he's an ass half the time she needs him to help her run things and that she needs him to come back to camp with her and to not run away.
- I liked that Bellamy brought up how Clarke hasn't faced her mom yet either and that she acknowledges that he's right and how she doesn't want to face having to keep everyone alive and that she needs him to help her figure out how to keep everyone alive.
- I liked how Bellamy and Clarke brought the guns back to camp and that Clarke mentions how they are weapons not toys and that they should give it up to the guards when they come down but until then they defend themselves.
- I liked how Bellamy wrapped Octavia up in a blanket and told her that he doesn't expect her to forgive him but that she'll have live with him because he's not going anywhere.
- I liked how Clarke told the Chancellor that Bellamy is one of the biggest reasons why so many of the 100 are still alive and that he deserves to be pardoned for his crime just like the rest of the 100. I liked that Bellamy ended up being pardoned after he told the Chancellor that he could tell him who on the Ark wanted him dead.
- I liked how when Finn was telling Clarke that he didn't trust Bellamy with having weapons that Clarke told him that she trusts Bellamy.
- I was slightly surprised that Shamway was working for Diana.

Book Review: The Lunar Chronicles: Scarlet
Scarlet Review
Scarlet is the second book of The Lunar Chronicles series and it not only continues with Cinder's story but it also introduces us to Scarlet and tells her story as well. Scarlet's story is based off of Little Red Riding Hood and I think that her story was a really interesting take on that. Scarlet Benoit is a farmer from Rieux, France who's grandmother has went missing but no one will believe that foul play was involved in her grandmother's disappearance so Scarlett vows to stop at nothing to rescue her grandmother. Scarlett soon finds out that her grandmother was taken by a group known as the order of the pack who are a group of genetically engineered Lunars who are made to be similar to wolves. Scarlett with the help of Wolf a former member of the pack travel to Paris to find the pack's headquarters in hopes to get Scarlett's grandmother back.
Meanwhile Cinder makes her escape from jail and she is joined by Captain Thorne who's jail cell she landed in during her escape so she has little choice but to bring him along with her which turned out to be a good thing since because of his past as a smuggler he had a stolen ship that they could use for their get away. On their escape Cinder has had to use her Lunar powers which she doesn't really understand how to use or feel completely comfortable about using them as well as come to terms with the fact that she is in fact Princess Selene and that it's up to her to stop Queen Levana. I liked the odd friendship that ended up developing between Cinder and Thorne and I liked how Scarlett's grandmother was what ended up linking Cinder's and Scarlett's stories.
I also loved the character of Wolf who could be rather shy and sweet but could also be pretty violent and ruthless as well and I really enjoyed the relationship that ended up developing between him and Scarlett through out their journey together. I really liked how we saw Prince Kai having to deal with the fallout of Cinder's escape and that it was shown that while he doesn't really know how he could possible trust Cinder at all that there are still clearly some feelings there although he does his best to ignore them for the good of the Common wealth.
I overall loved Scarlett it was two great stories and I loved how the two stories intersected with each other at the end. I loved both the returning characters and the new characters that were brought in this book. I thought this was a great sequel and I can't wait to read the next book in the series. Please tell me your thoughts on this book.

Movie Review: The Fault in Our Stars
The Fault in Our Stars Review
The Fault in Our Stars is based off a book by John Green which I have read and loved, the story is about a teenage girl named Hazel Lancaster(Shailene Woodley) who as been living with a terminal diagnosis of cancer for years now and her parents began to worry that she is becoming depressed which Hazel thinks is perfectly normal considering she's dying, so her parents decide that she needs to go to a teen cancer support group. At the support group Hazel ends up meeting a cancer survive named Augustus Waters(Ansel Elgort) who looks for the metaphor in everything, doesn't believe in denying himself pleasure of looking at something beautiful such as Hazel who he waste no time in telling her he thinks that she's beautiful and has only one leg.
Most of the story of the film is Hazel and Augustus relationship which starts off as a flirty friendship but eventually becomes a sweet and cute romance as time goes on. There's other stories in the movie as well such as Isaac(Nat Wolf) dealing with loosing both his girlfriend and his eyesight. There's Hazel and Augustus meeting the author of Hazel's favorite book which the two of bonded over earlier in the movie who turns out to be a real ass and then of course just dealing with cancer as well.
This movie is one that made me laugh and made me cry just like the book did and I don't think that there could have been a better adaptation of this book. I thought all of the actors did a great job at bring their characters to life and so did everyone else that worked on the movie with bring this book to life. I loved this movie and I'm so happy it turned out as good as it did. Please me your thoughts on this movie.

TV Review: Teen Wolf: 117(4.02)
Teen Wolf: 117(4.02)Review
- I was surprised to learn that teenager Derek had trouble controlling the shift on a full moon.
- I was surprised that Kate seemed to want to control herself and not attack the guy at the gas station but I wasn't surprised that she ended up killing him when he came into the bathroom.
- I liked that although Deaton had no idea why or how Derek was de-aged but was still willing to look after him until he wakes up and protect him from Kate.
- I liked that Deaton told Scott, Stiles and Lydia to go home rest and that it was about time that they started taking care of themselves.
- I liked that when Lydia volunteered to stay with Derek and Deaton that Stiles didn't want to leave her and that Scott had to force him to leave her there.
- I like that Scott's dad is making an effort to stay part of Scott's life but doesn't seem to be being too pushy about it.
- I'm confused as to why Derek was healing so much faster than usual.
- I find it strange but also a bit sweet that Malia keeps sneaking into Stiles room and that when they cuddle Stiles always ends up being the little spoon somehow. I also liked that it was made clear that Stiles and Scott that Peter is Malia's father.
- I felt so bad for Malia when she was called on in class when she was so clearly confused about what was going on or what the answer is. I liked that Stiles tried to give Malia the answer and that Kira kept waving her hand trying to convince her dad to call on her instead.
- I liked how Lydia ended up texting Mr. Yukimura in order to get her message to Scott that Derek had ran off.
- I liked that Scott didn't want to lie to Derek because he knew that Derek would be able to tell that he was lying when it came to telling the truth about what happened to his family.
- I felt bad for Derek when he saw the remains of his old home and I disliked that one Deputy kept being a jerk to him and ended up tazing him but I liked that Parrish ended up trying to talk him down and try to stop him from being tazed.
- I liked that Parrish trusted that Derek wouldn't hurt anyone if they took the handcuffs off of him.
- I liked how completely confused the Sheriff was when he saw de-aged Derek and that he assumed that time travel was the answer to what happened and Stiles explaination about Mexico and a tomb just made him angry about Stiles lying to going camping.
- I liked that Scott ended up lying to Derek about his entire family being dead in order to save him some pain. Although I also liked that Scott felt bad about lying but Stiles told him that it was fine.
- I liked how Lydia told Kira that Scott wouldn't blame her for the electric shocks and told her that Scott couldn't be more into her. I also just liked that Kira and Lydia being friendly with each other.
- I liked that when Lydia figured out that her powers led her and Kira to another dead body she told Kira not to look.
- I liked that Malia insisted that she comes with Scott when he talks to Peter because Lydia told her that Peter was basically Satan in a V-neck, I also just liked that this shows that Lydia and Malia actually talk to each other.
- I liked how Stiles told Derek that he wasn't allowed to talk to anyone and tried to stop Derek from having dinner when Agent McCall offered them some. I liked how Stiles called Derek Migel and said he was from Mexico and that when Agent McCall spoke to him in Spanish that Derek knew enough to answer him back.
- I thought that Peter was really creepy when he first met Malia but I liked that Malia was completely disgusted with him.
- I thought it was funny how Stiles tried to make sure that Derek didn't find out anything new about the Hale family fire from Agent McCall.
- I liked how when Peter asked why people can't stay dead that Malia said that she's pretty sure everyone else was wishing that he stayed dead.
- I liked how shocked Scott looked to learn that Derek and Kate were involved with each other.
- I liked that Peter came to the conclusion that Kate brought Derek back to the age at which he still trusted her.
- I liked that after Derek was taken by Kate that Peter figured out that Kate was after a way in which to control the shift.
- I was really surprised to learn that Beacon Hills High was built on top of the Hale family safe.
- I liked that Malia when she saw the Beserker wanted to fight it but I liked that Peter stopped her and told her and Scott that they can't beat a Beserker.
- I liked that Scott and Malia looked out for each other in their fight with the Berseker and I liked when Kira came in with skills with a katana.
- I liked how Scott looked and sounded super concerned for Kira when a Beserker ended up knocking her down.
- I actually enjoyed the confrontation between Peter and Kate where Peter tells her that what he thought she was looking for won't actually help her control the shift.
- I liked how Derek went to help Scott out when he heard he was in danger even though he didn't really remember who Scott was.
- I don't understand how Derek turned back to his proper age or why he now all of sudden has yellow werewolf eyes rather than blue.
- I'm curious about who stole 117 million dollars from Peter and why he had that kind of money in the first place and who could've known about that.
- I liked that Stiles and Lydia seemed so very unconcerned about Peter being robbed in fact Stiles sounded downright gleeful at the idea.
TV Review: The 100: Contents Under Pressure(1.07)
The 100: Contents Under Pressure(1.07)Review
- I thought that the storm in this episode was scarily big and I think that it makes perfect sense that the storm was interfering with the radio signal.
- I couldn't believe that even after the flares Kane wanted to deny that the 100 could be alive but I'm glad that Raven making contact with the Ark made the truth of earth being survivable undeniable.
- I felt happy for Abby when she heard Clarke's voice and finally able to hear that her daughter was alive and I felt sad for the Chancellor having to hear that his son is dead.
- I liked how Abby talked Clarke through how to fix Finn up and how to remove the knife from him without killing him.
- I liked how Octavia brought Monty's moonshine in order to clean Finn's wounds and sterilize everything that will be used to seal up the wound.
- I liked how both Octavia and Clarke tried to convince Bellamy not to torture the grounder, I liked how Clarke told Bellamy that's not who they are and his answer was it is now.
- I liked that Bellamy's reasons for torturing the grounder was that they needed to know who they were up against and what they already know about them, I just liked that it was a messed up attempt to protect the rest up the group.
- I liked how Octavia mentioned that she doesn't think that the grounder even understands English.
- I liked that Diana the old Chancellor came to talk to the Chancellor about how upset the workers are for the secrets the council is keeping and how she wanted back on the council.
- I liked how Bellamy found the grounders bottle of antidotes and his journal and in the journal it shows how the grounders have been keeping track of them and have been killing them off.
- I liked how it was still clear that Abby and Raven super appericate each other and that Raven was more aware than ever of the tension between Clarke and Abby that she doesn't quite understand.
- I liked how Bellamy tells Clarke that they are fighting a war and that Clarke points out they aren't soldiers.
- I liked that the people were furious with Kane since they knew he was a big part of the killing of the 300 people when he knew their was another way.
- I liked that Kane is feeling remorse for pushing for the deaths of 300 people to happen so quickly.
- I liked that Clarke figured out that the blade was poisoned and that she was willing to be part of Bellamy torturing the grounder in order to get the antidote.
- I liked that Octavia didn't want to torture the grounder even when Finn's life was at stake.
- I liked that Chancellor told the people everything and that Diana stood up against all the people who were speaking against the Chancellor after he revealed he lost his son.
- I liked that before Bellamy stabbed a nail through the grounder's hand that he told Clarke that he doesn't need to be here for this and that she refused to leave until she got the antidote.
- I liked that Raven came up and electrocuted the grounder in order to get answers.
- I liked that Octavia used the blade on herself in order to get the grounder to give her answers about the antidote which he did end up giving.
- I felt sad for both Clarke and Abby when Clarke confronted Abby about how she was the one that turned her father in.
- I liked how Octavia cleaned the grounder's wounds and told him how sorry she was about everything that happened to him and that he told her thank you, I'm unsure whether or not he learned it from her or if he does speak English.
- I liked how Clarke told Finn that Raven needs him and that she woke Raven up and told her that Finn was asking for her.
- I liked how Bellamy told Clarke that who they are and who they need to be to survive or two very different things and that it's not easy being in charge because I really like that this is something that they are both learning more and more as time goes by.
- I was surprised and sadden to learn that only 700 people on the Ark will be making it down to earth.
