- I liked that Clary went to tell Jace about how she saw Valentine with her mother through her necklace because it shows that she knows that she needs to get advice from someone who knows more about how this world than she does.
- I liked that it was explained that the necklace is a portal shard and that's why Clary can see certain people at certain times and I like that Alec points out that it is a door of sorts and that it could be dangerous for Clary to have it while Valentine knows that he can get to her through it.
- I can't blame Clary for not paying attention to any detail but the fact that Valentine has her mother because that's something that must be terrifying to have confirmed but at the same time I can't blame Alec for trying to get information from her about Valentine's location because that is what is going to help them find Valentine and stop him.
- I liked that when Alec was telling Clary that emotions were nothing but a distraction that she asked him how well ignoring all his emotions been working out for him because I agree with Clary's way of thinking that emotions are an important part of being a person and ignoring them always turns out badly in the long run.
- I'm glad that Alec took the portal shard because he's right in thinking that Valentine would probably use the connection to try to manipulate Clary to come to him and then she would ended up captured herself so it's probably for the best that Clary and Jace don't try to out manipulate Valentine because they would probably fail.
- I liked that Alec pointed out to Clary that going up against Valentine is a lot different than going up against the vampires and their going to need a lot more shadowhunters than four if they want to win against him and his followers.
- I liked that Izzy went to comfort Clary after she heard about what happened with the portal shard and I liked that even though she was being there for Clary she also told Clary that Alec was right to take it away because it is something that can be very dangerous for her to use. I also liked that when Clary said that she was willing to go off on her own and use it that Izzy pointed out that she's not on her own anymore.
- I liked how Clary told Izzy about her mom and how close they were and I liked that Clary describes her mom as a friend as well and the person that she loves most in the world.
- I felt bad for Izzy when her mom returned and one of the first things she said to her was her looking down on her for how she was dressed and the rest of what she was saying was all business.
- I like that Clary can't believe that Izzy's mom would be so cold to her and I felt so bad for Izzy when her mom hugged Jace when she didn't hug Izzy.
- I hate how Maryse so clearly prefers Jace over Izzy and Alec just because he's one the best fighters.
- I liked that both Izzy and Jace asked where Max was because it shows how much they care about their younger brother.
- I felt for Izzy when Maryse both looked down on Izzy for having seelie friends and then tried to blame her for the entire seelie population refusing to talk to the Clave anymore, I did like that Jace did point out how unfair Maryse was being to Izzy.
- I hated how Maryse acted like Alec requesting to go with Izzy when she met with Melrion rather than look after Clary was something extremely selfish of him to ask and how she acted like he was a spoiled child when he's so clearly has already given up so much to please her and the Clave.
- I liked that Clary did point out to Maryse that the reason that she has caused so many problems is because she's literally just found out that she was a shadowhunter a few days ago so she has no idea what is and isn't okay in there eyes.
- I feel bad for Alec that all those unapproved missions that Jace, Izzy and Clary pretty much forced him into going on are something that he will end up being punished for despite the fact that he told them not to go on those missions and they just went on them anyways.
- I found it interesting that the demonic murders are of mundanes with the sight but I'm disappointed because I'm pretty sure that this plot didn't really go anywhere.
- I was honestly so surprised when I learned that Alec is actually the acting head of the institute because that means that he is the authority that everyone in the institute answers and Jace and Izzy just kept breaking laws in front of him and trying to convince him to break it too, that's crazy that's like asking your cop friend to be your get away drive when you rob a bank.
- I liked that when Alec tried to aploguise for what happened with the demon that Jace told him that everything is okay between them and that he loves Alec to although he makes it clear that he loves Alec as a brother, I do like that Jace makes sure that Alec knows he's not mad at him and that he loves him.
- I'm glad that Raphael found Simon outside of the vampire's hotel and that he made Simon leave before Simon could get hurt again.
- I liked that Clary tells Alec that she thinks his mom was too hard on him although Alec disagrees because he's used to being treated that way by his mother.
- I liked that Alec does his best to train Clary even though he doesn't like her much he does still try to make sure that she learns how to be a shadowhunter and I like that he kept giving her advice about how to improve her fighting skills.
- I think that it's a bit sad how Alec thinks that every time that he screws up he should be punished or if someone under him screws up because he believes that being a leader means to accept punishment on the behalf of others.
- I liked that when Clary told Alec about the box that her mother has that could lead them to finding something that could help them find Valentine that Alec seems somewhat interested in finding it but he doesn't want to go look for it without the Clave's approval.
- I liked that Magnus called and asked Alec out on a date and I liked that Alec accepted right away despite not wanting anyone to know about his sexuality.
- I get why Clary left while Alec was distracted but I don't think she understands that this will only cause more problems for Alec later on since he was suppose to keep her inside the institute.
- I like that when Alec finds Clary while her phone is ringing he asks her what the point of an invisibility rune is when she doesn't silence her phone.
- I like that Simon finds it alarming when Clary tells him that she killed a demon since they've last seen each other.
- I liked that when Clary tells Simon that she's going back to her old apartment that Simon tells her that it's too dangerous to go back there and I liked that when it became clear to him that Clary was going to go no matter what he said that he insisted that he goes with her.
- I liked that Clary confronted Alec about being in love with Jace and I like that she tried to convince Alec to admit it because she honestly believes that he would feel better if he did but Alec of course doesn't.
- I liked that when Clary and Simon first meet up that they hug each other right away because they're so relieved to see that the other is okay.
- I find it a bit odd that Clary and Alec both noticed that things are abnormal with Simon with him being able to jump over walls, see runes and being able to break down a door and yet neither of them mention or seriously think about what this could mean for Simon.
- I like that Clary and Simon are all happily nostalgic about climbing the fire escape and I like that Alec just can't understand why this would bring them excitement.
- I find it cute that Clary and Simon were engaged when they were eight years old those two are just the cutest childhood best friends.
- I felt bad for Clary when she saw her old home burned down and realized that she could never go back to it.
- I like that Alec points out that the reason why there's no trace of Clary in her old home is because her mother was trying to protect her and that since she's still alive it seems that it worked.
- I like that Simon was able to find the box that Clary's mother kept secret from her but sadly the objects in the box are something that doesn't look all that helpful.
- I liked that when it was clear that a threat was outside that Alec told both Clary and Simon to wait inside for him while he went outside to take care of it so that they would be safe from the threat although sadly that noise form outside was a distraction for when the werewolves could take Clary and Simon.
- I like that the reason that seelies aren't talking to the clave is because their scouts were killed by Valentine after they were sent on a mission by the clave and now they don't think that clave has their best interest at heart so they want nothing to do with it.
- I dislike that Jace blames Alec for Clary sneaking out of the institute and I like that Izzy points out that it makes no sense to blame Alec for something that Clary did.
- I dislike how Jace tells Alec that maybe his mom was right that his best isn't good enough but I liked that Izzy was so furious with him when he said that and tried to get him to stop right away.
- I really dislike how angry Jace is at Alec for loosing Clary when it isn't his fault that she was taken but I like that Alec points out that he didn't do anything that Jace hasn't done before because it's true yet Jace still refuses to see reason.
- I liked that when Simon said that he couldn't believe that he was kidnapped again that Clary told him that she doesn't want to be self centered but she thinks that they are after her.
- I hate how the werewolves are threatening to kill Simon if Clary doesn't tell them were the cup is when she doesn't know where the cup is, honestly this whole cup situation is so frustrating.
- I liked that Simon was able to find a phone and call Jace and he was able to tell them were he was and I liked that while looking at the menu that Simon mentions that the restaurant has very inexpensive cocktails.
- I liked that when Jace told Simon to light a fire that Simon told him that never works and asks if he's ever seen an action movie although Simon does end up starting a fire.
- I found it a bit funny that when Clary tried to use an unlock rune that she accidently started a fire instead.
- I liked that when Clary tried to threaten Luke with her stele that he asks her if she knows that she can't do spells with that and then picks her up while telling her that she still needs more training and that he's trying to protect her.
- I liked that Izzy rescues Sijmon and tells him that she's getting sick of rescuing him while having a smile on her face and Simon also with a smile on his face tells her isn't.
- I like that after Luke saves Clary from the alpha of the pack that she now knows that she can trust him and I like that since Luke is the new alpha that means that the werewolves are no longer a threat to them.
- I liked that when Luke started to pass out because of his wounds that both Clary and Simon were at his side trying to help him up.
- I like that Clary tells Luke that she never should have doubted him and I liked that Luke then tells her that they never should have lied to her.
- I find it sad that when Izzy asks Alec if things are okay with him and Jace that he has tell her that he doesn't know.

TV Review:Shadowhunters: Moo Shu to Go(1.05)
Shadowhunters: Moo Shu to Go(1.05)Review
TV Review: The 100: Terms and Conditions(3.08)
The 100: Terms and Conditions(3.08)Review
- I liked that when the grounders established their blockade and then pretty much demanded that they give up Pike so that blood can have blood that Bellamy mentions that he seen this before referring to what happened with Finn last season.
- I can't blame Bellamy for choosing to protect Pike who is someone who cares about the well being of the ark's people who are Bellamy's people over giving the grounders what they want so that they can a short lived peace because honestly the grounders have been killing the ark's people since they got to earth so he has no reason to believe they will ever stop.
- I liked that Pike knows that they can't take on the grounders until they sort out the problems they have with their own people although I don't think that Pike is doing the right things for his people I like that he at least knows they have to be on the same side.
- I like that Monty finds the idea of spying on their own people to be something that he doesn't want to do.
- I like that Kane refuses to just attack Pike and give him over to the grounders because that would be considered murder and treason and I like that Miller asks if maybe they need to do those things in order to save their people.
- I dislike that Jaha has the idea to use Jasper's desperation to find a way to escape his pain in order to get him access to more chips that are the key to the city of light.
- I liked that Kane urges Pike to choose the peaceful option rather than to start a war that he knows they can't win but I also like that Pike brings up that they sacrificed Finn in order to appease the grounders before and that still didn't prevent them from turning on them later on.
- I liked that Jasper told Raven that he thinks the plan to break into Pike's office for the chips is a bad one but that he still wants to be in on it.
- I liked that when Pike admitted that they didn't have the fire power to take on the grounders and then started talking about using landmines that Bellamy seems to be unsure of the plan because in the long term it sounds like they can't win the war against the grounders so should they even be attacking them in the first place.
- While I do think that Kane was doing the right thing by trying to prevent the landmines from being planted by using Sinclair but I don't think Bellamy is wrong for arresting Sinclair since it is treason to interfere with Pike's order since he's chancellor.
- I liked that Bellamy was frightened for a moment that Pike would kill Sinclair for being a traitor like they would have if they were on the ark.
- I like that Jasper finds it odd that Raven keeps talking to herself when she talks to ALI.
- I liked how Jasper told Raven about how he and Monty would spend their time looking out the window on the ark and playing a planet would you rather game, I just liked hearing about how their life was like while they lived on the ark.
- I like that Monty is questioning what makes something right and I find it worrying that his mom believes because of Pike that anything that keeps you alive is the right thing to do because that isn't really true because sometimes especially on this show you have to do something truly awful to survive but that doesn't make it right.
- I liked that it turned out that the real mission that Kane had for Sinclair was that he get arrested so that he could give a message to Lincoln from Kane.
- I can see why both Bellamy and Kane choose the sides they do with Bellamy I understand why he sees the grounders as threats because they have always have been in the past and him wanting to just follow the led of Pike who is the chancellor is something that makes sense since Bellamy has become very unsure of what the right thing to do was after the grounders destroyed mount weather. Kane is of course right about Pike being a threat to their people because he wants to lead their people into a war in which they can't win because he can't see grounders as anything but an enemy.
- I like that both Bellamy and Kane try to convince the other to join their side because they believe that their side is the right one and they believe that each other is a good person who should be fighting on their side.
- I like that Bryan has noticed that Miller isn't around as much and that he is keeping some kind of secrets from him. I like that that Bryan knows that Miller has problems with the way Pike runs things.
- I liked that Bryan questioned whether it was right to spy on someone they love and I liked that Bellamy said it was as long as it was to protect them because this is something that we saw that Bellamy did at the beginning of the series so seeing that he's using the same justification now makes a lot of sense.
- I like that Jasper starts to notice that Raven doesn't remember Finn dying and I like that he asks if in the city of light that means you only remember the good things about the one that you lost and I like that this got Raven to realize that she doesn't remember anything about Finn at all and I liked that this made her realize that helping ALI is the wrong thing to do.
- I like that that when Lincoln attacked Sinclair as part of their plan that Bellamy sounded shocked when he shouted Lincoln's name because that action is very out of character for Lincoln.
- I kind of liked that Kane did what he was determined not to do by kidnapping Pike so that he could hand him over to the grounders and had a riot start as a distraction so that he could get away with it, I like that he did what he said he didn't want to do with committing treason and starting a fight within their own ranks which makes it look like Kane has lost his way in the eyes of someone like Bellamy.
- I'm a bit disappointed that Monty was able to alert Bellamy of Kane's plan before he was able to hand Pike over but I understand that they were both doing their jobs and what they thought was best for their people.
- I find it a bit scary that ALI is upset that she was able to completely control Raven but I find it even scarier that Jaha is trying to find a way to make it so ALI doesn't need a person's consent to get them to do what she wants them to.
- I liked that Kane gave a speech about how the law has to change to fit the future and how things aren't the same as they were in the past as a final way to get through to Bellamy that what Pike is doing isn't the best thing for their people.
- I was sad that Kane was sentenced to death but I can't really blame Pike for giving that order after what Kane did.
- I like that Bellamy is visibly upset when Kane is sentenced to die and I like that he questions Pike about how they are now killing their own people.
- I like that after Bellamy told Monty about what happened to Kane that he asked about what will happen with Miller and Harper.
- I like that when Monty's mom tells them that they did the right thing today that both Monty and Bellamy didn't look like they agreed with her.
- I like that when Monty's mom asked if they could identify who was working with Kane that Bellamy answered no right away showing that he isn't truly on Pike's side anymore.
- I liked that when Monty asks if choosing what's best for your people isn't very hard that Bellamy tells her that he does that everyday.
Anime Review: Clannad: On the Hillside Where the Cherry Blossoms Flutter(1.01)
Clannad: On the Hillside Where the Cherry Blossoms Flutter(1.01)Review
This episode is about how a delinquent student Tomoya Okazaki ends up having a chance encounter with a shy girl named Nagisa Furukawa who he later learns had to repeat her final year of school because she was out of school for quite awhile the year before. Nagisa isn't having much luck with making new friends do to her shy nature but she does mention that she always wanted to join the drama club and Tomoya ends up convincing her to join only for her to discover that the drama club no longer exist since they're weren't enough member but Tomoya tells her not to give up on it and promises to help her get it going again.
The episode also spent a lot of time introducing us to characters such as Ryou Fujibayashi the timid class representative and her protective sister Kyou. Another character we meet is Tomoyo Sakagami who is a new transfer student who is great at fighting which is something that surprises quite a few people since she's a beautiful girl but also makes her popular with her fellow students. There is also an introduction of Tomoya's friend that is always getting into trouble and of Nagisa's parents who own a bakery, her mother is very sweet but a bit too sensitive while her father is rather brash and quite protective of his wife and daughter.
Overall I really enjoyed this episode I thought this was fairly good introduction to all the characters and I thought that the episode did a good job at showing us where all the characters are right now so that we can see how much they grow later on. I really like how Tomoya and Nagisa's characters contrast with each other which makes their interactions interesting to watch. Please tell me your thoughts on this episode in the comment section below.

TV Review: How to Get Away with Murder: Is Someone Really Dead?(3.06)
How to Get Away with Murder: Is Someone Really Dead?(3.06)Review
- I liked that in the flash forward that Michaela is obviously freaking out about what happened at Annalise's house and I liked that when her mother tries to be of help that Michaela tells her that she can't help and that she's been through much worse. I also find it interesting that Michaela tells her mother not to steal anything.
- I like that it turns out that Bonnie went to meet with Frank so that she could record him confessing to the crime but I was that Annalise says that they can't use this as evidence.
- I liked that while Laurel is mad at Annalise for hiring a hit man to go after Frank that Wes doesn't think it's that bad of idea considering her tried to frame him for murder which ended up making Bonnie upset and that led to Annalise telling her not to go after him.
- I'm worried because the police showed up at Wes's apartment which means that they now consider him a suspect.
- I felt bad for Maggie when she just found the police waiting outside of Wes's apartment in order to question him about a shooting since she has no idea about any of this.
- I like that Wes wants to just talk to the police rather than hid out at Annalise's house like she wants him to.
- I like that Wes called Maggie and told her about how he witnessed shooting so that she wouldn't have to wonder what is going on with the police.
- I like that there is a lot of rules that comes with Annalise getting her license back because that makes things a bit more difficult for her.
- I think it's unfair of Bonnie to blame Wes for everything going wrong around Annalise's life since the beginning of the series because there are a lot of people to blame and Wes is hardly the only one that has caused problems.
- The case of the week deals with an army woman who stabbed a guy in the neck after he was harassing her and her girlfriend. I was surprised when Annalise chose Drake the guy who made the fliers as her first chair although it does make sense because he suggested using PTSD as the defense which makes the most sense in this case.
- I liked that Connor, Michaela and Asher were informed about Wes witnessing his father being shot after they noticed that Wes was missing from class and the police were looking for him.
- I liked how Asher told Wes that he was sorry about his dad dying after he found out.
- I liked how Annalise told everyone not to worry because she has protected them all even when she hated them.
- I like that Bonnie keeps trying to get Annalise to take out all her angry at her and be done with it so that they could move on from it.
- I liked that Michaela and Connor told Laurel that she couldn't sit with them because she keeps, keeping secrets from the rest of them.
- I liked how Annalise decided to take over questioning the victim after the prosecutor showed up and I liked that Drake was upset with that since he spent so much time prepping for it.
- I was frustrated that the judge didn't seem to let Annalise ask any questions of the victim because of her recent suspension.
- I found it interesting that the defendant wasn't traumatized by something that happened to her but rather something that she has read that happened to others in the military.
- I can't blame Connor for blaming Wes for everything going to Hell in his life because unlike with Annalise he's actually right since Connor was fine before he had to be part of covering up murder and everything that followed was because of that. I know that when Connor says he'll kill Wes if he mentions his name to the police that he's lying because Connor can't handle killing someone.
- I understand why Connor is upset by Oliver going on dates when he broke up with him because he wanted to be alone but I also understand that Oliver broke up with Connor because he wasn't sure if their relationship was good for them anymore.
- I liked that Annalise made it seem like she just found out after her client perjured herself that she was lying so that the case would become a mistrial and get a plea deal from the DA.
- I felt bad for Wes when he broke up with Maggie because he believes that he is too much for her to handle.
- I was happy for Oliver that his date actually did go well because he deserves to be happy.
- I understand why Asher is upset that Michaela doesn't consider him her boyfriend but I agree with Michaela that her not thinking of him as her boyfriend is because they never agreed to be in a relationship.
- I liked that Asher told Michaela that he thinks of her as his family and I like that after Michaela tells him that she never had a family that he tells he wants to be there for her and support her.
- I liked that Wes destroyed Frank's confession because he believes that Laurel wants him to protected too.
- I like that Wes and Laurel hooked up with each other because I like their relationship with each other and I was also interested in seeing what it would be like if they add romance to it.
- I liked that the show made us think that Wes turned himself in but it was actually his biological father's legitimate son that Frank framed that was arrested instead.
- I find it interesting that in the flash forward that Asher mentions that Annalise had called everyone to come over to her house.

TV Review: Witch's Romance
Witch's Romance Review
Witch's Romance is about Ban Ji-yeon a 39 year old investigative reporter who has been dedicated to her job above all else since her ex left her at the alter six years ago which has made her become cold, bitter and driven which as led to her co-workers calling her a witch behind her back. By chance Ji-yeon ends up crossing paths with Yoon Dong-ha a 25 year old who works as a part timer doing basically any job someone needs done, he is kindhearted, earnest and hardworking the two clash right away but they end up running into each other again and again. Eventually Dong-ha is hired to work as Ji-yeon's assistant whether she wants him to or not and this of course leads to the two working day and night together which leads to them bonding with each other and learning that they make a pretty good team.
After getting to know each other and becoming what one could considering friends it becomes clear that Ji-yeon and Dong-ha feels something more than friendship for each other but with them both still recovering from the end of their last relationships both of them hesitate to act on their feelings for each other. Dong-ha does end up gaining the courage to confess his feelings for Ji-yeon right before her ex shows up out of the blue after six years of not contacting her acting as if they're still in a relationship and offering no explanation as to why he left and never contacted her. Ji-yeon's ex showing up throws her for a loop which makes her briefly take a step forward rather than backwards in her life but in the end everything works out in the way that it should.
Overall this drama is really good, I found the dynamic between our leads to be just so sweet and moving and I just loved that they both had strong personalities that played off of each other so well and I loved that they felt like they could just be themselves around each other and that they made each other so completely happy. Another thing I really liked about this drama was that it was populated with side characters that had their own little side plots which you cared about but they never over took the main storyline. The one thing I didn't like this drama was the ex coming back and how long it took to get rid of him considering how unlikable he was from beginning to end but other than this was a great drama. Please tell me your thoughts about this drama in the comment section below.

TV Review: The 100: Thirteen(3.07)
The 100: Thirteen(3.07)Review
- I like that Murphy tells Titus what he knows about the City of Light key that he got from Jaha that is the same symbol as the Commander uses, I like how Murphy tells him this in the most sarcastic way and that Titus didn't really get any of it.
- I found it sad to see that ninety-seven years ago the people watch the end of the world from where they were in space completely helpless to stop it from happening.
- I like that Lexa decided to block the people from ark from leaving their land until they sort out their leadership problems but it seems that rest of her don't like this plan and are unhappy with her decision.
- I find it sad that it seems like the thirteenth station didn't join with the rest of the ark because the creator didn't want to give up on her programing.
- I like that Octavia is upset with Clarke after she defends Lexa after she gives a kill order to all ark people who are outside of their lands.
- I like that Lexa is rejecting the teaching of love is weakness and that being commander means being alone because even though I don't like Clarke and Lexa together I'm always happy to see people learn that emotions don't have to be a weakness.
- I liked that Murphy tried to kill Titus so that he could escape from where he was being held with his life.
- I liked that when Murphy was explaining to Titus about what happened with station Thirteen that Titus said that their faiths have nothing to do with each other that Murphy tells him that he has no faith before he gives him a bit of history lesson that Titus mostly ignores.
- I think it's sad that other people on station thirteen died because she wouldn't give up on her program and that she escape the ship and went down to earth.
- I like that Octavia tells Clarke that she can't do more for her people here than she could by actually being with her people because it's true Clarke can't truly know what's going on with her people when she's so far away from them.
- I really don't like or understand why Clarke decided that she wanted to be with Lexa romantically when really not enough time has past for Clarke to be able to move past how Lexa made her commit genocide at Mount Weather and since Clarke is still suffering from guilt over the incident last episode I don't think that she's over it in anyway so a relationship with Lexa makes no sense.
- I found it a bit funny when Clarke referred to Murphy as her friend when they were never even close to being friends.
- I honestly found it so random and poorly written that Lexa died because Titus went crazy with a gun and tried to kill Clarke and Lexa happened to walk in the room, I completely understand why people were so upset with this death because it was so poorly done and did nothing to honor her character.
- I like that Indra decided to join Octavia when it comes to fighting Pike.
- I dislike that the show is somewhat implying that Lexa giving into love is what got her killed in the end because that's untrue and a terrible lesson to send out to people.
- I was a bit surprised to learn that a chip with all the past commanders memories is passed down from the lady that invented the program almost a hundred years ago.
- I like that Clarke and Murphy are both a bit frightened by the AI that came out of Lexa's neck that the grounders call the commanders spirit.
Book Review: The Raven Cycle : Blue Lily, Lily Blue
Blue Lily, Lily Blue Review
This book is the third The Raven Cycle series and in this book the main focus is on the fact that there are three sleeping people one that they should wake, one that they shouldn't and one that is in between. In between looking for Glendower and the other sleepers Blue also has to deal with the fact that her mother has disappeared after she left a note that said that she was going off to look for Blue's father and Blue finds herself both very worried for her mother and angry at her for leaving without even telling her where she was going. Another problem that has be dealt with in this book is that Greenmantle the employer of Mr. Gray is in town and threatening to cause problems and this leads Ronan into enlisting Adam to help him find something on Greenmantle in order to chase him out of town. There is also the problem of Noah becoming less human than he once was because of how long he's been a ghost and so there's new worries about his condition as well.
The character development and the relationship development in this book is something that happens along side of the plot and this makes it all feel really natural which makes the developments all the more believable. The relationship between Blue and Gansey is definitely heading in the romantic direction now with how much they both like sneaking hidden moments and late night phone calls between the two of them and the fact that there is a little bit of guilt about the way that their feelings for each other has changed just shows that their relationship is now going in a romantic direction whether they like it or not. Adam as a character is also getting some important development with him both becoming more accepting of his role with Cabeswater and with accepting help from others and realizing that when you need help sometimes it's okay to accept that help which is something he struggled with in the previous books.
Overall I loved the book it had an interesting plot going on and I loved learning more about this world but mostly I loved getting to spend time with these characters again and seeing them interact with each other and grow as people. Please tell me your thoughts on this book.

TV Review: Shadowhunters: Raising Hell(1.04)
Shadowhunters: Raising Hell(1.04)Review
- I like that Clary was remembering a little bit of how her memories were taken through her dreams.
- I felt a bit bad for Simon when Clary thought he was Jace after she woke up from her dream.
- I like that Clary tells Simon that she couldn't live with herself if Simon would have died because of this new world that she got Simon involved in.
- I like that although Simon is grateful that others helped rescue him he still unsure if they should be trusting Jace and the others because they know nothing about them and I like that Clary is sure that they can trust them partially because they know about the shadow world while they don't know much of anything.
- I like that Simon mentioning that he heard Camille say something about a Magnus Bane after she found out about Clary's memories is the first solid lead Clary gets as to who took her memories.
- I felt bad for Simon when Clary wanted to tell Jace about the lead that they just found and that she made it very clear that while she can't imagine her life without him she also only sees him as a friend.
- I was very worried for Simon when he started to hallucinate blood on his face as well as Camille taunting him.
- I liked that when Jace was acting like Simon might not be a reliable source of information that Clary stood up for him and made it very clear that she does trust him.
- I like that Clary tells Jace that she doubts her memories are worth all the trouble that they are going through to find them because she obviously has no idea weather or not her missing memories of the location of the cup in them.
- I liked that when Izzy told them that Simon was leaving and this upset Clary that she pointed out that they can't force Simon to stay in the institute.
- I like that Simon wants to leave and take Clary with him because he believes that they would be better off on their own looking out for each other like they always have while Clary feels like the shadowhunters are her people and that she believes she's safest with them.
- I like that it's explained that warlocks generally help people for a price because it tells us a little bit of how warlocks work.
- I liked that when Izzy suggested that they invite Magnus out to a rave in order to make a deal that Alec thinks that he wouldn't go for it because it would be too dangerous with Valentine trying to kill him although both Izzy and Jace disagrees with him.
- I think that the reason that the necklace worked as bait was because of the sentimental value rather than the finical value that it held for Magnus.
- I liked that Izzy was a bit entranced by the necklace when she first saw it and it was clear that she would love to have it for herself.
- I liked that Izzy brought Clary to her room because she wanted to make sure that Clary had some appropriate clothes to wear for a party.
- I liked that when Jace saw Clary all dressed up that he told her that she looked badass and I liked that Jace realized that Clary wouldn't want to be left behind no matter how dangerous the mission could be and that he gave her a seraph dagger so that she could protect herself.
- I liked Elias another warlock told Magnus that him leaving the lair is a bad idea and that no necklace is worth risking his safety and I liked that Magnus thinks that it is and won't be talked out of going.
- I liked that Magnus said that he is ready to take on Valentine but he knows that the warlocks that he is hiding are not.
- I like that Izzy tells Alec that he should be excited because they are going to a downworlder rave but Alec makes it clear that he thinks of it as nothing more than a mission.
- I like that Izzy mentions that things have become much more interesting since Clary has arrived and that she likes that. I also like that Alec dislikes how much has changed since Clary has arrived with the threat of Valentine hanging over them, the fact that they are helping his daughter who they have no idea if they should trust her or not and the fact that they have to over pay a warlock for information that he may or may not have. I liked that Izzy asked Alec if he felt better after his rant and at first he said no but then he admitted that it did make him feel a bit better.
- I like that Izzy tells Alec that he can't keep all his emotions buried because one of these days their bound to explode in a not fun way.
- I liked that Maureen and Simon's mom were both very worried about him when they couldn't get ahold of him all night and they had no idea where he could be.
- I felt bad for Maureen that after she confessed that she wanted to date Simon that he went into a weird trance over the blood that she bleed after she accidently breaks a picture frame.
- I liked that when they were waiting in line for the club that Clary pointed out that the place was filled with vampires last time they came and I liked that Jace told her that all downworlders hang out there they just came on vampire night the last time they were there, I also liked that Clary wondered when this would start to feel normal for her.
- I liked that when Izzy asked if red was her color that Clary told her that with a body like hers everything is her color which Izzy agreed with.
- I liked that both Alec and Jace looked a bit uncomfortable when Izzy was talking about guys liking her drooling on their jewels.
- I liked that when Clary confronted Magnus about him being the one who took her memories that he made sure to point out that he did so at her mother's request.
- I liked that the reason that Magnus fed Clary's memories to a memory demon was because he wanted to protect Clary from Valentine because if he had those memories and he was tortured by Valentine he could give them up so he gave them away to ensure that wouldn't happen.
- I liked that Magnus offered Clary his protection because he knows Valentine is hunting her and he wants to make sure that she stays alive like her mother would have wanted. Clary of course sees going into hiding as running away from your problems so she rejects his offer.
- I liked that Alec killed a guy that was trying to kill Magnus and that Magnus was interested as soon as he saw Alec but he still left once he realized his life was in danger there.
- I liked that Alec was angry that the mission didn't go as planned and that they are no closer to finding the mortal cup and that Clary is angry that her last chance at getting her memories and therefore her mother are gone and I like that Jace tried to calm the m both down.
- I agree with Clary that the whole parabati tracking is something that does seem oddly intimate.
- I liked that Clary risked her life to save a little warlock girl and that Izzy and Jace saved Clary when it was clear that she couldn't win against the circle member.
- I liked that Magnus and Alec actually worked together to kill a circle member and that Magnus happily introduced himself once recognized Alec from earlier and I love how happy and excited Alec was to tell Magnus his name and how he started stuttering afterwards and Magnus completed his sentence for him.
- I liked that Magnus decides to help Clary because she protected the young warlock girl because it was the right thing to do.
- I liked that Magnus gave Izzy the necklace and then asked her slyly about what kind of things Alec is interested in.
- I liked that when Magnus asked pretty boy to get their team ready that Jace assumed that he was the pretty boy but in truth Alec was and I liked that this made Alec smile and Jace confused and a little bit offend.
- I liked that Clary had to draw a pentagram in order to get her memories back from the demon and I thought that the pentagram Clary drew was beautiful.
- I liked that Magnus made sure to let Alec know he's into guys by claiming that he slept with Michaelangelo.
- I think it's interesting how differently greater demons are portrayed in season one compared to season two where they are more human than other demons.
- I liked how much emphasis was put on everyone holding each other hands and I like that Izzy made fun of everyone else for being so dramatic.
- I felt bad for Alec when he thought that everyone figured out that he was in love with Jace when the memory demon took a memory Jace for the person that he loved the most and that he broke the circle because he was so ashamed of having those feelings.
- I liked that Clary was willing to kill the demon and never recover her missing memories in order to save Jace's life.
- I liked that Magnus told Alec that he had nothing to be ashamed of and that when Alec pretended to not know what he is talking about that he simply tells him he will someday.
- I liked that Clary and Jace joked about who saved who saved who more often.
- I liked that Jace complimented Clary on killing the greater demon and then reassured her that they would find a way to find her mother even without her memories.
- I'm worried about Simon since he wandered off to the vampires hotel.
- I find it worrying that Valentine can communicate with Clary through her necklace and since she can see a vision of him when she uses the necklace I find it worrying that he may be able to see her as well.
TV Review: The 100: Bitter Harvest(3.06)
The 100: Bitter Harvest(3.06)Review
- I liked that when Lexa was doubting if peace was a good idea that Clarke assured her that what she did was the right thing to do because she prevented a war.
- I think it's awful that Pike's people are willing to kill a grounder child just because their worried the grounders might figure out what their up to.
- I'm glad that Raven isn't in pain anymore but I agree with Abby that the City of Light key is something that seems highly suspicious and possibly dangerous.
- I liked that Miller asked Kane if he thought when he arrested him on the Ark if he ever thought that they'd be breaking the law together.
- I like that it's clear that both Bellamy and Monty aren't fond of the idea that they should wipe out a grounder village in order to have a place to grow food but when Pike keeps framing it has let our people or their people die I get why Bellamy doesn't feel like he has a choice.
- I like that Miller asked Octavia if she could at least try and talk Bellamy out of what their doing because it shows that Miller sees that Bellamy isn't really on board with the plan.
- I like that Lexa is having Clarke decide if she wants to kill the last Mount man by her own hand to test if she really does believe that blood must not have blood.
- I don't like that Jaha and hologram lady are having Raven look for version 2 of her programming without telling her what she really is.
- I like that Kane tried again to convince Bellamy not to go along with Pike's plan but I hate that Bellamy still believes that he has to go through with this plan.
- I liked that Octavia was able to convince them that she was telling the truth about an army coming to attack him.
- I like that Kane feels guilty about Pike coming to power because he's the one that asked for their to be an election and that's the reason Pike come into power.
- I like that Kane acknowledges that with Clarke gone Bellamy is the key and that he's still trying to get through to him.
- I'm worried that it seems the grounders are going to be using some poisonous sap in order to take on the people from the ark.
- I liked that when Raven isn't upset about Jasper taking Finn's ashes and loosing them that Jasper asked what she was on and if he can have some of it.
- I like that Clarke is still clearly struggling with the guilt for what she did at Mount Weather.
- I like that Abby stopped Jasper from taking the key to the City of Light.
- I find it very concerning that Jaha doesn't remember his son Wells and I'm glad that Abby is doing everything she can to stop him from recruiting more people.
- I'm glad that Octavia warned Bellamy about the village being a trap and that in the end it looked like only one person died.
- I'm worried that now that Pike's people know their is traitors among them that things will get even worse for the people in the Ark.
- I liked that Clarke didn't kill the last Mount man because she would be kill him for what she did rather than what he did.
- I liked that when Pike told him that Octavia got two of their people killed that Bellamy pointed that Octavia warned them in the end.
- I'm worried about Kane now that Pike has figured out that he is spying on him to protect grounders.
- I'm interested in the story of the thirteenth station of the Ark considering that it seems to be a secret that it once exist but was blasted out of the sky.
- I feel for Murphy since he's being tortured for information that he doesn't have.
TV Review: How to Get Away with Murder: It's About Frank(3.05)
How to Get Away with Murder: It's About Frank(3.05)Review
- I liked that Bonnie didn't want to do anything with her father in terms of saying goodbye and just had his body cremated so that she could be done with it.
- I liked that everyone was telling Wes that it was a big deal that he was meeting Maggie's parents although he doesn't think it is.
- I liked that Connor said that no one in the study group are fit to date a civilian and I liked that he then pointed out that Michaela and Asher being together doesn't make any sense because all they have in common is murder.
- I liked the scene with Annalise and all the women in the salon who all seemed to know a lot more than they should about each other.
- I found what we learned about how Frank was helped by Sam and Annalise all those years ago when he was in jail.
- I'm sad that the school assigned someone else in order to take over Annalise's classes but I liked seeing that everyone had different reactions to the news. I liked that Michaela thought it was about the school not likely a strong woman in power, I liked that Connor thinks it's because Annalise has abused her power, that Asher thinks that they should do something to prevent it from happening while Laurel thinks that it may be a good thing since they're now free of her.
- I like that while Bonnie still knows that Annalise has every right to be mad at Frank she herself doesn't hate him and that she tries to convince him to come back with her and make things right with Annalise.
- I found it interesting that we saw quite a bit of Annalise and Sam's early marriage and I think that it's interesting because we got to see how much changed from those early days to what it was in season one.
- I liked that Annalise did at least try to stop drinking and I was disappointed about how she then instead decided to get drunk after being left alone with nothing to do.
- I found the dinner that Wes had with Maggie's dad to be pretty awkward but Wes handled himself pretty well. I think that it's interesting to note that Wes lied to Maggie about how his mom died.
- I liked that Frank asked Bonnie to run away from him so that they could go off and live a normal and happier life together.
- I liked that Michaela broke up with Asher after he made fun of her southern accent.
- I liked that Wes went over to Annalise's house to check in on her and that when he saw how drunk Annalise was he stayed there and took care of her. I liked how Wes told Annalise that he wanted to protect her like she protected him.
- I was surprised to learn that the guy that hates the study group so much was the one behind the fliers and I liked that after Annalise comes over to his place and threatened to expel him it looks like he'll no longer be causing trouble.
- I liked that Michaela made it clear that her parents are people that she wants nothing to do with and that she has succeed in spite of them.
- I liked how Wes told Laurel that he has to break up with Maggie because he's lying to her about too many things and that he's too much of mess and I like that he tells her they all are.
- I liked that Laurel told Wes that Frank is still around even though she hasn't even thought about telling anyone else in the group about him.
- I was actually sad when Bonnie found that Frank had left when she was out without even saying goodbye.
- I liked that Annalise threatened the school with a lawsuit in order to get her job back.
- I completely understand why Wes decided that it was for the best that they tell Annalise about Frank being around still.
- I like that in the flash forward that Oliver calls Connor's phone because he wants to make sure he's okay.
- I was surprised to see in the flash forward that Michaela's adoptive mother was visiting her when this episode established that she doesn't have a good relationship with her parents.

TV Review: Marriage Not Dating
Marriage Not Dating
Marriage Not Dating is about a woman named Joo Jang-mi who after trying to propose to her boyfriend he tries to dump her by ignoring which she doesn't understand is a break up so she does everything she can to get to seem since she won't believe their relationship is over until he tells her himself and while trying to get him to talk to her she ends making a huge scene and gets charged with stalking. Jang-mi being a scene maker is something that draws her ex's friend Gong Gi-tae to her since he has a mother that is basically blackmailing him into getting married when he has no interest in getting married because he believes that all people are highly manipulative like his mother. Gi-tae ends up helping Jang-mi by testifying on her behalf so that she wouldn't get in too much trouble for the stalking charge because he wants her to pretend to be his girlfriend and make a huge scene at his parents house because it would make his mother disapprove of their relationship and get him out of getting married.
This series primarily deals with Jang-mi and Gi-tae faking a relationship mostly for their families and well the task is one that can be very time consuming and leads to them becoming partners in their deception which leads to some genuine emotionally bonding between the two of them. Through out their fake relationship Jang-mi keeps trying to end things before they go to far while Gi-tae keeps giving her reasons why they can't end their relationship yet which just leads to a whole bunch of complications that can bring both good and bad things into their lives. Of course along the way Gi-tae and Jang-mi develop real feelings for each other but the parents finding out about the fake relationship right before they decide to make their relationship real is something that makes their relationship even more complicated.
Overall I really loved this series it was a ton of fun to watch and it is certainly the funniest K-drama that I have ever watched. I thought that the characters were well written and that they had more depth than one would originally assume which just made me more invested in their story. I really loved this series it was great fun but it also had a ton of heart to it as well. Please tell me your thoughts on this series in the comment section below.

TV Review: Shadowhunters: Dead Man's Party(1.03)
Shadowhunters: Dead Man's Party(1.03)Review
- I like that Clary actually asked why everyone assumes that she has the cup when it's pretty obvious that she had no clue that she even was a shadowhunter until like a day ago.
- I felt bad for Clary when she realized that since both Valentine and the vampires want the cup and they both have someone she loves that even if she had the cup to trade she wouldn't be able to save both her mom and Simon.
- I like how Alec pointed out that they had to inform the Clave about what they learned about Clary and that they had to get the Clave's permission in order to go after Simon because it shows that there are rules to this world even if Clary wants to ignore them for completely understandable reasons.
- I find it a bit funny how Clary asked Jace, Izzy and Alec to put their trust in her because she put it in them after they saved her life when she doesn't even have a plan as to how to save Simon yet which isn't inspiring a lot of confidence in them when it comes to following her lead.
- I liked that Simon was trying to convince the vampires to let him go by telling them that he was useless to them and that he couldn't identify them because even though he knows that they're vampires and don't care about the police it's hard for him to consider how much his world has changed in the last day.
- I liked that Clary was upset when she realized that Jace, Izzy and Alec all actually already knew where the vampires have taken Simon yet they still went back to the institute because from her point of view it really does seem like they don't care what happens to Simon.
- I liked that after Alec said that downworlders are slaves to their impulses that Izzy tells him not to jump on all downworlders and then Alec and Jace tease Izzy about her thing with a seelie and then Izzy slyly teases Alec about his sexuality and he does his best to ignore it.
- I like that when Clary was going to go off to save Simon without a plan that Jace first pointed out that she could get herself killed and when that still didn't get her to stop he told her it could get Simon killed too which did make her stop.
- I liked that Simon was really nervous and fidgeting when Raphael took him upstairs and that he kept looking for an escape which Raphael found annoying since there is none.
- I liked that Raphael was more annoyed that Simon wrecked his jacket than the fact that Simon through a knife a him.
- I think that Camille really doesn't understand why taking someone hostage is valuable since she doesn't think that she needs to keep Simon alive.
- I honestly don't understand why Jace, Clary, Izzy and Alec had to go and look for weapons in a graveyard when Alec is acting head of the institute why would he have to tell anyone what they were planning on using the weapons for.
- I liked that when Clary was telling Jace how she use to wonder where her dad was buried and how she use to wish he was alive and now she regrets that considering who her dad is that Jace tells her that none of what is happening here is her fault.
- I liked that Izzy told Clary that she wouldn't miss go with them to take on the vampires for the world but that she needs to go and get information on how to get into the vampires hotel.
- I agree with Alec that it is a problem that Jace is ignoring everything that Alec is telling him about Clary and that him just trusting Clary blindly is something that could be dangerous because he really doesn't know anything about her and it's completely reasonable for Alec to be concerned about her considering who her father is.
- I like that Alec points out that Clary actually know how to use seraph blade because she doesn't and I find it funny that Clary acts like she does know how to use one because she accidently killed a demon with one when it landed on a blade she was holding in the first episode.
- I liked how Jace taught Clary how to use the seraph blade and I liked that the scene was filled with sexual tension between the two of them and that the whole scene was oddly romantic.
- I liked that Jace promises Clary that he will be with her every step of the way and that he tries to make it sound less romantic by saying that meant we will be with you not I will be with you.
- I liked that when Clary questioned why Jace was so sure that Alec and Izzy will help them that Jace tells her that they're practically his brother and sister so he knows he can count on them.
- I liked that when Clary points out that Alec doesn't like her that Jace tells her that Alec doesn't like anyone so she shouldn't worry about that.
- I liked that Jace explained to Clary that him and Alec are parabatai which means that they share a soul with each other and that they would die for each other and a part of the other would die if the other ever did which really goes to show how much Jace does care for Alec even if he doesn't do the best job at showing it this season.
- I liked that Simon was freaking out about the fact that he threw a knife at Raphael and I liked that he started freaking out when he said God because he thought vampires couldn't say that but then Raphael says God just clear that part up for Simon.
- I like that Raphael tells Camille that he thinks that kidnapping Simon and breaking the accords was a bad idea and that ruining their relationship with the clave when Valentine might be a threat is also a bad idea because they'll need all the help they can get if they want their people to survive Valentine again although Camille doesn't seem to care much about her people.
- I find it creepy how Camille keeps comparing Simon to chocolate since it's clear that she doesn't think of him as a real person.
- I like how Izzy and Meliorn both are trying to get information from each other while also getting it on with each other it makes for an interesting relationship.
- I like that it's established right away that seelies can't lie but that they are very good at evading questions.
- I liked that Jace taught Clary how she can see through glamours when he took her to the vampire bar.
- I dislike how Jace had Clary go to the vampire and he let the vampire encanto her but I do like that he kept an eye on her to make sure that things didn't go to far.
- I find Camille using encanto on Simon to find information about the mortal cup as well giving Simon her blood and drinking his blood to be very creepy and I worried a lot about Simon when he was with Camille.
- I liked how when Camille heard that a spell took Clary's memories that she knew right away that Magnus was the one behind it.
- I liked that Izzy used the fact that she knew Meliron also has a thing with Camille in order to figure out how they can sneak in to attack the vampires.
- I liked that when Alec was caught by Hodge that he started to stutter when he tried to come up with a lie but luckily Hodge didn't want to know what he was up to so he was saved from trying to lie.
- I liked that Hodge basically told Alec not to be too much of a follower but I don't think that Alec could ever really end up like Hodge because Alec respects the law too much to ever be part of an uprising against.
- I liked that Clary was a little bit mad that Jace used her to distract a vampire so that he could still the vampire motorcycle that can fly.
- I liked that when the motorcycle was flying that Clary and Jace were really happy and laughing with each other I just like that they were enjoying the moment.
- I liked that Izzy wanted Alec to tell her good job after she found out how to get into the vampire's hotel and that he did after she hinted at it.
- I liked how Izzy kept trying to talk Alec into being will to start some type of relationship with someone and how she thinks that he would be happier if he let himself be honest about who he really is while they're going after the vampires.
- I liked that Jace put a rune on Clary so that the vampires wouldn't be able to use their encanto on her again.
- I like how Jace pretty much randomly mentions how mundanes are very into the whole vampire romance which begs the question has he read vampire romance books before.
- I don't know why Clary finds it so surprising that Jace hasn't been in love before considering that their both still pretty young so it's really not that odd that he hasn't fallen in love yet.
- I like that Clary and Jace are sneaking into the hotel from the roof and that their plan is to find Simon and get him out while Alec and Izzy provide a distraction for the vampires.
- I liked that Alec tried to use the rune to lock the door and that Izzy instead used a blade to cut a pipe and used that to keep the door closed.
- I liked how Alec used his bow and Arrows and Izzy used her whip and seraph blade to kill the vampires as they entered the room and I think that Alec and Izzy were enjoying killing vampires a little too much.
- I liked that when Clary killed the vampire on her own that Jace and Izzy told her how proud o her they were.
- I liked that when Raphael told Clary that they had wanted her and not Simon that she had to be held back by Jace so that she wouldn't go and attack Raphael.
- I liked that Raphael got Camille to leave so that he could let Simon go and therefore resolve any possible conflict that Camille's plan may cause with the shadowhunters.
- I liked that Simon thanked Raphael for letting him go as soon as he did so and that Raphael just wanted him to go and made it clear that he did it for pragmatic reasons.
- I liked how when Simon told Clary that he would do anything for her that she told him that he didn't have to die for her and that he told her that he'd rather not do that.
- I like how Clary told Simon that she couldn't live without him about how he's her best friend and with how her entire world has just turned upside down she now needs him more than ever.
- I don't get why Jace got so mad at Alec when all Alec was doing was voicing his completely reasonable concerns about Clary.
- Jace is so oblivious it's clear to just about everyone that Alec helped out Clary because Jace wanted him to and he loves Jace so of course he's going to help when Jace asks him to.
- It was worrying that Simon was looking at Clary's throat and clearly thinking about the blood flowing through her veins.
TV Review: Timeless: The Red Scare(1.16)
Timeless: The Red Scare(1.16)Review
- I found the flashback of Flynn with his wife and daughter to be bittersweet since it was such a sweet scene but their both dead.
- I liked that Lucy called Noah the guy she's engaged to in order to patch Rufus up and I'm glad that Rufus is going to be okay.
- I completely understand why Noah is mad at Lucy for not explaining anything about what is going on to him and just in general being a totally different person than the one she fell in love with.
- I like that Lucy finally ended thing with Noah by telling him that she'll never be the person that he fell in love with and that he deserves to be happy but she's not the person that can make him happy.
- I like that Agent Christopher got Jiya out of Mason's company and that she is safe from Ritten House.
- I like that since Rufus isn't at his best that Wyatt suggested that Jiya be a co-pilot for him and I liked that when Rufus mentions that ship is only meant to take three people and he really doesn't want to risk taking four but since Ritten house showed up where they were they really didn't have a choice but to take that risk.
- I liked that Agent Christopher offered to stay behind on deal with Ritten house on her own.
- I hated how smug Mason was when Agent Christopher was arrested because he disliked that she didn't let him do as he pleased earlier in the season.
- I like that the Ritten house meeting is taking place at the same time as the McCarthy trials are going on.
- I liked how after McCarthy told Flynn that he is patriot that Flynn tells him that everyone thinks their the hero of their own story and that he asks if Flynn's the same and that he doesn't answer.
- I dislike that Flynn accused Lucy and Wyatt of being Russian spies and because of the time period they're in of course that's enough to get them taken in.
- I kind of liked that when they were taken in that Wyatt tells them he literally saw them plant the gun on him five seconds before they accuse him of being a communist.
- I'm worried about Jiya since her eye was all red and I hope the side effects of having a fourth person on the ship aren't too bad for her or any of the others.
- I liked that when Flynn came to talk to Lucy that she told him she no longer thinks of him as a monster but as a sad lonely broken man who misses the family he lost just like her and Wyatt do. I also like that she tells Flynn that she would help him take down Ritten house if his method didn't include killing innocent people.
- I like that Wyatt pointed out how absurd it was that Flynn a man with an eastern European accent accused Wyatt of being a communist McCarthy believed him.
- I liked that Wyatt told McCarthy that he won't put Wyatt on trial because he's too afraid that he'll be found out to be a fraud.
- I liked that Wyatt was able to escape from where he was being held and that he then went to get Lucy and get out of there.
- I like that Mason was actually playing the long game and that he help Agent Christopher escape and gave her the evidence she needed to talk down Lucy's father and the main Ritten house problem that they are currently dealing with.
- I liked that Mason admitted that he deserves whatever he gets but Rufus deserves better and that he hopes with Agent Christopher's help he can protect him.
- I liked that Lucy and Wyatt end up deciding to follow Lucy grandfather to find out where the Ritten house meeting is and they end up following him to a gay bar which isn't where the meeting is being held.
- I'm really worried about Jiya now that she has passed out and I hope that she'll end up being okay.
- I liked that Rufus talked to Jiya about how much he cares about her and how if she holds on that he'll stop holding back but sadly this does nothing to improve her condition.
- I found it sad how terrified Lucy's grandfather is about anyone finding out that he's gay and I like that both Lucy and Wyatt tell him that there's nothing wrong with him. I also like that her grandfather would like if Ritten house was destroyed.
- I kind of liked that Lucy didn't allow Wyatt to kill Flynn when he had the chance to do so although I'm not sure it's a good idea.
- I liked that Flynn admitted he didn't want to kill all those Ritten House people but he feels like he needs to and I like that Lucy tells him that she now knows how to take down Ritten house and it's by focusing on the present instead of the past.
- I like that both Flynn and Wyatt decide to put their trust in Lucy and I'm glad that their working with Flynn now because having four people in the time ship again doesn't seem to be a good idea.
- I liked that when Lucy told them that she would go back with Flynn that Wyatt and Rufus were both worried about her safety.
- I liked Lucy tells her grandfather the truth about time travel and that she's his granddaughter and that she convinced him to be a spy for her so that they could take Ritten house down in the future.
- I liked that Lucy and Wyatt visited Lucy's grandfather after they got back and that he gave them the address to the place where he had all the information that he gathered on Ritten house.
- I like that Wyatt questioned Mason being on their side and I like that Agent Christopher tells them she didn't trust him at first either but she found out that underneath all his smarm he actually does have a heart.
- I was so very happy to see Agent Christopher taking things over once more and having the Ritten house guys arrested.
- I'm glad that Jiya seems to be mostly okay but it seems like she might have developed some kind of powers or something and I'm really curious to find out what's going on with her.
- I like that Lucy gave Flynn information about who killed his family so that he could do one more trip in order to bring back his family.
- I was frustrated when Agent Christopher followed Lucy and had Flynn arrested because even though Flynn did a lot of terrible things I still wanted him to get his family back and I don't like that he thinks Lucy betrayed him when she didn't.
- I like that Agent Christopher made sure that Lucy kept her deal to get her sister back.
- I liked that when Lucy and Wyatt where saying their goodbyes that Wyatt said he'd call her if he ever needed a bossy know it all and she said that she'll text if she ever needs a reckless hothead, then they both laugh.
- I like that Wyatt told Lucy that he would go on one last trip to get her sister back with her.
- I liked that Wyatt told Lucy that maybe she's right about not leaving in the past and being open to possibilities and I liked that they looked like they were about to kiss before they were interrupted.
- I was shocked when Lucy's mother mentioned Ritten house and that it turned out that she's part of Ritten house as well and that it was revealed that someone from Ritten house now as the ship Flynn was using which is very bad.
- I'm really happy that she show got uncancelled because it would be a crime to end the show on that kind of cliffhanger although I'm sad I won't get to see a new season until next summer but I'd rather wait a year for new episodes then never see any new episodes.
TV Review: How to Get Away With Murder: Don't Tell Annalise(3.04)
How to Get Away With Murder: Don't Tell Annalise(3.04)Review
- I liked that Annalise and Eve had guys that paid for their drinks even though they made it clear that they had no interest in sleeping with them and they were cool with that.
- I find it concerning that Frank got his hands on something that could burn down a house which of course makes me believe that he's behind the fire at Annalise's house.
- I felt bad for Asher because he was so nervous to be working his first case and the fact that Annalise isn't on her A-game right now isn't helping to easy his nerves.
- I like that when Laurel asked if they were referring to Asher as Michaela's boyfriend now that she insisted that they were just having sex.
- I'm sad that Annalise got her law license's suspended because she slapped her client in the last episode.
- I like that both Asher and Bonnie tell their client that they need him to either give back the money he stole or explain where he spent the money in order to settle his case.
- I like that Asher tries his best to motivate the other students to work hard and save their client from jail time, I like that for as silly Asher can be at times that he does seem to have a good heart.
- I was surprised that Laurel is just learning about how Frank was in jail before working for Annalise because I thought she would've learned about this sooner.
- I was surprised to learn that the client had been steal money to support his unborn child that's mother is his teacher which takes the case in a whole different direction considering he's a minor and has been a victim of abuse in the past.
- I liked that Eve advised Annalise to try and settle her law license's suspension case out of court because of how much the prosecution wants to get back at her.
- I find it a little disturbing that Connor doesn't get that it's rape if one person isn't over eighteen and another person is because when he was a teenager he hooked up with his camp counselor who was over eighteen.
- I liked that Asher pointed out that their client is different from an average boy's fantasy about hooking up with their teacher because he has a history of abuse that his teacher took advantage of.
- I liked that Michaela points out to Connor that him trying to always have someone new to have sex with isn't healthy because it really does seem like he's just trying to have a bunch of meaningless sex in order to forget Oliver and it's not going to work.
- I dislike that the school is the one who is behind Annalise's law suspension and I dislike that the school is trying so hard to get her fired to despite the fact that she has tenure and she has over all been a good teacher for them.
- I like that Asher is concerned that Bonnie is letting her own history affect her judgment on the case but I understand why Bonnie doesn't want to consider his concerns for even a second but I'm not sure which one of them is right here.
- I like that Wes has noticed that something has been off with Laurel for awhile now and that he wants to be there for her even if she doesn't want to tell him what's going on with her.
- I find it sad that Wes mentioned that he hasn't ever had anyone throw him a birthday party before.
- The fight between Annalise and Nate was pretty ugly with them both saying such cruel things to each other.
- I liked that Bonnie did end up winning the case by exposing the teacher as a rapist but the client didn't end up happy with the results of the trial because the teacher is now going to be punished and no one will be able to take care of the baby.
- I liked that Asher told Bonnie he was proud of her for what she did in court despite it not being something he entirely agreed with he understood that she needed to do this.
- I liked that Annalise used alcoholism as the reason as to why she slapped her client and that if she was going to treatment she would be able to get her license back.
- I liked that when Oliver told Connor that it's not as easy for him to hook up with guys as it is for him that Connor told him not have low self esteem because he's such a great guy that Oliver pointed out that being HIV positive is a turn off for most guys and that's understandable, I also liked that Connor suggested twice during that conversation that they get back together and that while Oliver rejects the offer things were still very pleasant between them.
- I was surprised that Frank ended up killing Bonnie's father in sort of way to get revenge for Bonnie.
- I'm glad that Laurel confessed to Bonnie that she knew where Frank is and I find it interesting that Bonnie tells her not to tell Annalise where Frank is.
- I'm surprised that in the flash forward Laurel is pregnant considering that she hasn't really been having sex at all this season so far.
