TV Review: Teen Wolf: Required Reading(5.06)

                                           Teen Wolf: Required Reading(5.06)Review

• I liked how this episode started with a flash forward of what will happen once they read the book with Scott saying that they should have never read the book which made me really interested to see what led to that point.
• I liked that Malia was there to protect Scott from the dread doctor when he was being attacked and for some reason needed his inhaler again.
• I find it concerning that the whole lacrosse field is covered with holes that chimeras come from.
• I liked how Stiles and Malia were going over who's the chimeras are and how many there are with the Sheriff. I liked that the Sheriff figured out that Donovan was a chimera and liked how after Donovan's name came up that Stiles got quiet and started to separate himself from his dad and Malia do to his guilt. I liked that the Sheriff noticed that Stiles got quiet suddenly.
• I liked how stiles pointed out that the people chosen to be chimeras were teenagers who weren't chosen at random and that they should try to figure out why they were chosen.
• I liked that Parrish is teaching Lydia how to fight but I dislike all the sexual tension that was in that scene.
• I liked that when Lydia thought she was remembering the dread doctors doing something to her during her surgery that she wanted to remember what it was.
• I liked that Lydia remarked that her mom's book club usually had more wine and I liked that Stiles pointed out that the books they read probably don't cause violent hallucinations.
• I liked how Malia would be there to look after the rest of the pack while they read the book since they knew remembering would cause hallucinations and they thought it best that someone was their to make sure they were all safe.
• I liked how Lydia said that maybe her mom should read the book since then she might stop denying what she saw a few episodes ago.
• I liked how dramatic they made reading a book seem because while it is plot important in this case it's not the type of thing that's usually viewed as dramatic.
• I was a bit worried about Kira when she was reading the book since she wasn't able to read since the text got messed up in her head.
• I liked that Malia explained that remembering what happened was like being in the memory rather than just watching it.
• I liked that Malia noticed that Stiles had gotten hurt on his shoulder but I dislike that he lied to her about where it came from. I liked that Stiles asked Malia if she saw more than just the crash but I disliked that she didn't tell him about seeing the desert wolf. I'm sad that this two are keeping secrets that they don't really need to keep from each other and I'm angry that Theo knows this and will likely use this information to his advantage.
• I liked that Liam just showed up to the place where Hayden works and gave her forty-five dollars because she said he owed her two hundred. I like that Liam is trying to bury the hatch with Hayden when it comes to what happened in sixth grade even though she's completely against that.
• I thought Theo was super creepy with how he leaned over Kira while she slept and recorded what she was saying.
• I liked that Scott, Stiles and Kira all agreed to look after each other the day after they read the book. I also liked that they discussed how something must have to trigger the memory for them remember anything.
• I liked that when Lydia suspected that Sydney might be chimera she followed her after she dropped AP Bio but I especially liked that once it made clear that she wasn't that Lydia offered to help her fix her hair.
• I found the memory of Lydia seeing her grandmother right she put a screw driver to her head to be really frightening and traumatizing. I also found it interesting that Lydia's grandmother spefically warned Lydia that someone was coming for them.
• I liked that Scott was there for Lydia when she woke up and was there checking that she was okay. I also liked that Lydia's mom was worried about her as well.
• I liked how mason told Kira that he did research on kitsunes because he met a kitsune and I liked that he was able to explain to her why she couldn't read the book which was because the book is one be long language trick which messes with the fox in her.
• I was sad that Scott made the decision to drop AP Bio even though he clearly didn't want to have to do that I understand why he did. Also I was kind of mad at the teacher who kept going on about how he should have thought about the amount of work the class was before he signed up for it and how he's making a mistake and all that because Scott isn't dropping the class because he's lazy or the works too hard but because he doesn't have the time to do the work because he's too busy trying to keep everyone alive and this is something that the teacher can never possibly get.
• I was very worried about Scott once he started having an asthma attack especially since he doesn't have an inhaler anywhere near him.
• I found Scott's memory of having apparently seen his dog be eaten by another dog and then having a really serious asthma attack when he was little to be sad and traumatizing. I'm starting to wonder if the book unlocks traumatic memories rather than just memories involving the dread doctors.
• I liked how Mason and Brett were discussing what to look for when trying to spot a chimera I just really liked the scene and found them cute together.
• I liked how Liam and Hayden were kind of competing with each other with them seeing who could score the most goals in their respective sport, Liam with lacrosse and Hayden with soccer.
• I liked that it was revealed that what happened in sixth grade with Liam and Hayden was that they broke each other's noses close to picture day.
• I liked that Liam rushed to give Scott his inhaler and that he was able to save him and I liked that Hayden saw that and gave a look that said something like maybe he's not so bad.
• I liked how Lydia figured out that her memories from the hospital with the dread doctors have more to do with her being a banshee rather than something that happened to her.
• I liked that Malia went to Theo to ask if he was going to tell anyone else that she saw more than she said she saw and I liked that after he said he wouldn't that Malia became suspicious of him and basically threatened him before he could threaten her, I'm just really happy that Malia doesn't trust him and that she still doesn't like him.
• I find it strange that Scott doesn't find it creepy that Theo recorded Kira's voice while she slept.
• I'm sad that Scott doesn't think he can trust Kira anymore but I'm glad that the reason for this is because he fears that she's no longer in control of herself.
• I found Stiles memory of his mother believing that he was trying to kill him to be super sad and traumatizing. I also thinks this explains the guilt he feels regarding her death since he's probably internalized what she said and despite it not making any real sense started to believe what she said to be true at least a subconscious level.
• I find it very creepy that Lydia saw that the dread doctors were doing things to people while they were unconscious during surgeries.
• I'm glad that Liam and Hayden seem to be on somewhat better terms by the end of the episode and I'm a bit worried about Hayden now that we know she's a chimera because things haven't ended well for them so far.
• While I'm glad that Theo saved Stiles from being killed by the chimera I hate how he did it only to manipulate Stiles into keeping quiet about Theo's kill which is something that could have been prevented if Theo hadn't really wanted to kill  the guy(unlike Donovan's death where it was both an accident and clearly in self defense) so I hate Theo talking about the two deaths as if they were the same thing because they aren't and I also just hate him having something to hold over Stiles head.

TV Review: Scream: Aftermath(1.04)

                                                        Scream: Aftermath(1.04)Review

• I'm glad that Noah was so clearly devastated by what happened to Riley because that makes it very unlikely that he had anything to do with her death other than having the misfortunate to witness via video chat.
• I find it awfully suspicious that Tyler's head was decapitated in a car crash and the Sheriff doesn't seem to think that's odd.
• I'm glad that the Sheriff feels that it is his fault that Riley was killed because her being killed at the station that's something that should make him feel guilty.
• I'm glad that it was made clear that Riley's death was something that really hit everyone pretty hard and that the characters actually mourned her.
• I liked how Brooke expressed the guilty she felt over having left Riley alone for a booty call. I also just liked Emma and Brooke remembering Riley and crying together.
• I liked how Audrey went to see how Noah was doing and to try to cheer him up at least a little bit. I liked that Noah mentioned that he hadn't been able to sleep and that he was wondering if he had sex if the rules of horror would have kicked in and if he would have died instead and I liked that Audrey told him she doesn't think it works that way.
• I liked that Audrey suggested that her and Noah team up to fight crime as "bi-curious and the virgin" and that Noah said they'd be the saddest crime fighting duo ever. I also like that Noah isn't quite ready to face reality yet.
• I find it interesting that Brooke's dad is the mayor and I'm sad for her because it seems like her father doesn't have any clue about what's going on in her life.
• I liked how Audrey confronted the Sheriff about him not looking far enough into Rachel's death.
• I like that both Emma and Audrey don't believe that Tyler is the killer and that they are still planning to work together to find out who's really behind the murders.
• I liked that Will went to check up on Emma when she was at work and I liked that he comforted her when she broke down.
• I felt really bad for Brooke when she saw the online poll of who people think should die next and she was winning by a landslide.
• I find Piper hinting to Emma that she doesn't believe that everything is over is pretty suspicious.
• I found the year book that Emma got to be pretty creepy and I liked how Emma brought the year book over for Audrey and Noah to see. I liked that Noah figured out that the place the killer wanted Emma to go to was an abandoned hospital where Brandon James had his surgeries.
• I liked that Noah geeked out at the thought of going to the hospital because of it's connection to Brandon James.
• I liked that Audrey figured out that Emma was planning on going to the hospital herself and Audrey made sure that Emma would take her with. I also liked that when Emma asked if they should take Noah with them she said no because he would act like a four year old at Disney land.
• I feel bad for Brooke with her mother being away and out of touch and her father not having any time for her despite the fact he can see she clearly needs someone to be there for her right now.
• I'm not really all that interested in Jake and Will's blackmail plot and I don't really think that blackmail has much of anything to do with the killing.
• I liked that Emma used the logic that the killer had plenty of chances to kill her already yet didn't so that must mean the killer isn't done with her yet.
• I liked that Audrey came prepared with a taser and a crow bar to defend themselves with.
• I like that Audrey pointed out to Emma that since a voice changer can he used over the phone pretty easily that the killer could literally be anyone.
• I found the hospital to be pretty creepy especially the thing with the pig and it's blood being all over the floor.
• I liked that Noah had actually followed Audrey and Emma out to the hospital because he didn't want them to go there without him.
• I liked that Noah got all excited about being in a killer's lair but then also pointed out that the scene looked staged. I also liked how Noah insulted how things worked on Pretty Little Liars.
• I liked that when Emma found Nina's laptop that she wanted to bring it into the police right away but both Audrey and Noah didn't want to because of how badly they handled things with Riley.
• I liked that they ended up downloading the videos on a drive in order for them to find out what they were.
• I'm glad that the police finding Tyler's head at the hospital made them re open the murder case since Tyler obviously didn't put his own head there.
• I liked that Jake tried to comfort Brooke while she was feeling down on herself and despite thinking that Jake a dick I think that he's pretty sweet when he's with Brooke.
• I liked how Emma told Piper that she should stay in town since the case isn't really over despite what the public thinks at the moment.
• I felt really bad for Emma when a video of her first time accidently got uploaded onto the web by Noah and Audrey.

TV Review: Teen Wolf: A Novel Approach(5.05)

                                          Teen Wolf: A Novel Approach(5.05)Review

• I found the opening sequence where Stiles fights for his life against Donovan to be very suspenseful and I found that the suspense came not from wondering whether or not Stiles would make it out of the situation alive(because I knew he would) but rather from wondering what Stiles will have to do in order to survive. Since he really was in a kill or be killed situation but unlike most shows in this genre this show doesn't take it's main characters killing someone lightly.
• I found it really creepy how it appeared that Donovan would have little mouths with terrifying teeth appear both on his hand and his neck.
• I found it interesting that it seems like Donovan desire to have his revenge against the Sheriff started with when his dad became paralyzed from the waist down after getting shot while on duty with the Sheriff.
• I like that it was made very clear that Stiles was trying to anything and everything to just get away from Donovan and that he had no really intention of killing him and that when he turned around and saw that Donovan had been implied he was shocked and horrified about what he had done. I also liked that Stiles even tried to pull out the pole because he wanted to try and save Donovan but he died before he could take it out.
• I found it interesting that Stiles called the police because it was made pretty clear right afterwards that he was terrified of what will happened to him once they got there and saw him there with a body and blood on his hands yet he still felt the need to call them.
• I liked that when heard over the police radio that they would leave the school because it was a false alarm that he didn't look relieve by this but rather it seemed like he was thinking that them leaving meant that something was wrong and he went back into the school and saw that the body was gone and the scene had been cleaned up.
• I find it worrisome that Kira is muttering Japanese in her sleep despite Scott making it clear later on in the episode that Kira doesn't actually speak any Japanese.
• I liked how when Stiles was back home and was writing down his theories about what could have happened to Donovan's body it was clear that he was unraveling and that when he wrote down that Donovan was dead you could just see how the guilt was eating him alive and how with the way in which he erased the board frantically how seeing it being written down made it feel more real and how he wanted to take back what happened.
• Dylan O'Brian's acting in the opening parts of this episode was just fantastic he had no lines but you could tell where Stiles head was at and what he was feeling, while he's always good this really deserves a special mention.
• I'm glad that Scott and the pack have figured out that someone is taking the bodies and I'm sticking with my theory that Parrish is taking the bodies to the nemeton to restore its power..
• I liked that Malia read the whole The Dread Doctors book in one night and that she told the rest of the pack about it and Kira was off making copies of it.
• I liked how after Malia mentioned that the book was volume 1 but there was no other books in the series that Lydia thought that the book was a prediction rather than fiction and Malia thought that they were living volume 2.
• I liked that Scott came to the conclusion that the doctors weren't the ones that were taking the bodies and I liked that he did smell blood in the library even though he didn't find any trace of it there.
• I didn't like that it turned out that Theo and the doctors actually wanted the pack to find the book and go and visit Dr. Valack in Eichen House.
• I liked that Lydia noticed that something was off with Stiles with how he had an injury on his shoulder but said that it was his elbow and refused to talk about it.
• I liked how Stiles described Eichen house as an "asylum of insanity and death" because that's pretty much the perfect description of the place.
• I liked how Stiles wouldn't let Lydia go to Eichen House without him because he felt that he needed to their to protect her even though he knew that Scott and Kira were already going with her.
• I'm really concerned for Kira since her fox spirit looks like it's out of control and I don't understand why Scott didn't tell her this since keep this from her won't make the problem go away and she really needs to know about it.
• I liked that Scott noticed that something was off with the way that Stiles was acting and he asked if anything was wrong and I'm not surprised at all that Stiles didn't tell him anything and instead just said everyone's a bit off.
• I liked that Scott told Stiles that he was worried about Kira because she nearly killed Lucas and I liked how Stiles defended Kira with saying that it was in self defense and therefore could be justified clearly thinking back to what happened with Donovan. I feel like Scott is correct to be worried about Kira and that he's right that they should try to save the doctors victims not kill them but I also know that what Stiles did with Donovan was self defense in a way that's very different from what Kira almost did and is in fact justifiable. I feel like Stiles after this conversation is feeling like Scott would hate him if he ever found out about Donovan but I know that isn't true because Scott loves Stiles and could forgive him for anything and would understand why he killed Donovan if Stiles would just tell him what happened but I also get why Stiles is too ashamed to tell anyone.
• I liked that when Theo came over to Malia and tried to ask her about what she was reading that she didn't offer up any really information to him and was just generally cold to him.
• I liked that it was explained that the whole lower floor of the supernatural ward at Eichen House is covered in mountain ash which sadly means that Scott and Kira can't go with Stiles and Lydia when they visit Valack.
• I was surprised to find out that it appeared that Valack actually wrote The Dread Doctors book in order to warn people about the existence of the doctors since I assumed that he was in on everything with the doctors.
• I liked that both Lydia and Stiles didn't really want to give Valack a recording of her screaming because they knew that the fact that he wanted it meant that he could use it in some way to his advantage later on.
• I liked how when Scott was talking about how Stiles and Lydia work well together and that they have survived so much despite not having any offense special powers to protect themselves there was this tone of admiration in his voice that I really liked.
• I liked how Scott told Kira that Lydia used pretend not to be smart and that this shocked Kira because she couldn't imagine Lydia being ashamed of being smart which really shows how far Lydia has come since the beginning of the series.
• I liked how Scott pointed out that Stiles was the only one that use to notice that Lydia was smart because he paid so much more attention her than anyone else did. I really liked this because Stiles knowing Lydia was smart when no one else did is one of the main reasons that I started shipping them as hard as I do know back in season 1.
• I liked how Scott and Kira both noted that Stiles still likes Lydia because I have always thought that Stiles never stopped liking Lydia and that he never would so I liked that the show confirmed this point but on the other hand I don't think this means that he doesn't like Malia just that he also still has feelings for Lydia that I don't feel will ever truly go away.
• I was really worried for Kira when her powers started loosing control and electricity started going everywhere.
• I found it interesting that Eichen House doesn't only use mountain ash but also electric currents to keep all their supernatural patients contained.
• I liked that Lydia and Stiles refused to give Valack the recording of Lydia's scream until he told them everything that he knew about the doctors and I'm glad that he did give them at information. I found it interesting the doctors are former scientists who experimented on themselves to gain powers including the one to erase memories of themselves from the minds of anyone who has encountered them and that the doctors were drawn to Beacon Hills because the power that was given back to the nemeton.
• I really didn't like it when Theo was moving Malia's hands on the steering wheel in a clear move that was suppose to turn her on, I found him really creepy and I'm glad that she didn't seem interested in him.
• I felt really bad for Malia when she started flashing back to the night of the car crash but I found it interesting that she remembered that the Desert Wolf was there that night which means Malia may not be the reason her mother and sister died like she had thought all this years but it also means the Desert Wolf may have tried to kill her.
• I liked that Scott refused to abandoned Kira even though he couldn't come near her without her shocking him and I liked that he carried her out of Eichen House even though it caused him a huge amount of pain because he just couldn't leave her in there.
• I liked how Kira started talking about what Scott said at the club the other night and he told her that he remembered and that he meant it referring to him telling her he loved her last episode.
• I found it a bit strange that the doctors came into Eichen House to steal Valack's third eye but they didn't actually kill him.
• When Stiles was telling Lydia that everything that was happening and was going to happen was their fault I felt like the guilt he was feeling over killing Donovan was speaking for him at this point because that's truly a ridiculous amount of blame and responsibility to put on your shoulder and I'm a bit surprised that Lydia agreed with him that it's their responsibility to stop everything bad that could happen because the doctors.
• I'm worried about what Valack will end up doing now that he has escaped from Eichen House because I'm sure it's nothing good.

TV Review: The 100: Spacewalker(2.08)

                                               The 100: Spacewalker(2.08)Review

• I liked how it seemed that Bellamy was taking on a leadership role when it came with dealing with grounders with how he told the rest when to hold their fire and when the grounders were trying to scare them.
• While I can understand the main cast not wanting to give up Finn to the grounders I don't understand why they think it's crazy that the grounders would want Finn to punish for killing 18 innocent people. On the other hand I liked that quite a few of the people at the camp wanted to give Finn up to save the rest of them.
• I actually really liked the flashbacks of Finn and Raven on the ark because I just have this weird soft spot for these two and I found those scenes really sweet.
• I liked how Murphy tried to cheer Finn up about him being the possible reason that they'll start another war with the grounders.
• I didn't like how Clarke blamed Murphy for not being able to stop Finn from massacring the village but I also didn't like that Murphy implied that it was Clarke's fault because Finn was looking for her because really no one's fault but Finn's that those people died.
• I liked how Lincoln told them that Finn had to die for his crimes because that's how the grounder's justice system work and that they should be grateful that they only have to give up the life of one murder when Finn had taken 18 innocent lives.
• I'm glad that Finn is feeling guilty that a war may start because of him and that he's thinking that him dying may be what's best for everyone else.
• I liked how Clarke told her mom that they had to show the grounders that they aren't scared and I liked how when her mom asked what if she is scared that Clarke told her to just fake it.
• I like that Kane said that he negotiated a possible deal with the grounders where they try him for war crimes because that way Finn's death would be less painful and also they should have put him on trial already because what he did is a war crime and he needs to be punished in someway for it.
• I thought it was both sweet and stupid of Finn to arrange for Raven to have a chance to go on a spacewalk because all he really wanted to do was make her happy but on the other hand he knew what he was suggesting was a crime and that it was also dangerous. I'm also a bit disappointed that Raven went along with this plan because while I understand why she would want to she had to know it was a bad idea.
• I liked how Finn took the blame for the spacewalk in order to save Raven's life because he was underage and she wasn't so she would die and he would be put in jail instead. Finn sacrificing himself for Raven here really helps me understand more why Raven is so attached and loyal to Finn still.
• I like that Finn starts seeing that other people are getting hurt because of him when Clarke is almost killed by a grounder and I like that he feels bad about this.
• I like that Finn told Raven that he never meant to hurt and I like that he also pointed out that she was letting him off too easily because she really is.
• I didn't like how Raven planned to sacrifice Murphy in order to save Finn but I liked that Clarke and Bellamy didn't like that idea because they knew Murphy wasn't guilty of Finn's crime and I'm glad that Finn didn't let Murphy be sacrifice in his place and that this led to Finn giving himself up to the grounders.
• I liked that after Finn was captured that Abby and Kane told Clarke, Raven and Bellamy that there isn't anything they can do now to save Finn that wouldn't result in the deaths of the rest of their people.
• I liked that Clarke mercy killed Finn in order to save him from the long and torturous death that the grounders had planned for him.
