TV Review: Reign: Sacrifice(1.10)

                                                  Reign: Sacrifice(1.10)Review

• I liked how Mary went and found Bash after he didn't come to court to do the duty of the regent because Mary knows that Bash doesn't know how to do the job of king and he really does need to come to court in order to learn how to do the job.
• I like that Bash recognizes that his life is very much in danger at the moment due to what legitimizing a bastard could do to other noble families but he is willing to face this threat in order to do what Mary wants of him.
• I liked how Bash wonder if he might die of boredom while listening to the people in court and I liked that Mary told him to take things seriously.
• I find it quite impressive that Catherine was able to plot an attack on Bash's life and control a good chunk of the castle's servants all from within her jail cell.
• I loved how Mary reminded the servants that Henry is someone to fear and that if they follow Catherine's wishes they will be likely be punished by him and that Mary order everything and everyone to be taken away from Catherine.
• I found it interesting that Bash's cousin Isabelle who is pregnant is the daughter of a convicted traitor who Catherine thought Bash was lovers with but in fact the fact that their related would actually have put him in more danger of execution than Catherine's original assumptions.
• I like that Mary and her ladies dressed Isabelle up in fancy clothes to disguise her in order to sneak her out of the castle in order to get her somewhere safe.
• I liked how Lola, Greer and Kenna went to Catherine's cell in order to take away what she needs to write notes and to see if she'd let anything slip that could be used against her.
• I disliked how Catherine insulted Kenna, Greer and Lola and I like that Lola stood up to her.
• I liked how Bash said that he thought of Isabelle as a younger sister of sorts and how he had always looked out for her.
• I liked how Isabelle told Mary that while she could see Bash married to Mary because of the way he looks at her she could never imagine him as king since it require him to make decisions that could hurt his loved ones for the good of the country and pretend he likes people he can't stand.
• I liked how Mary knew how to get Isabelle through the birth of her baby because she has seen the nuns deliver babies plenty of times.
• I liked how Kenna didn't respond to Catherine's taunts and instead calm got up and walked away once Catherine gave her something she could use against her.
• I liked how Mary learned this episode that Bash's family on his mother's side were once Pagans and I liked how when Mary was ranting about how evil Pagans were that Bash told her that most Pagans are nothing like how she describes her and that while he himself isn't actually a Pagan he just picked up some of the prayers but he doesn't see being Pagan as evil in anyway expect for the fraction that believes it serves a beast that feeds on human blood.
• I like that Mary told Bash that she realized that he would do anything for his family no matter the cost to himself and while she thinks that's a noble thing to do it isn't something that a king can afford to do.
• I like that Mary tells Bash that he has a choice in whether or not he wants to be king and I also like that Bash answers that he wants to marry her because he's saying that he wants something entirely different than what she asked him.
• I was sad that Isabelle ended up dying because of complications with child birth after the baby was born but I like that Bash intends to keep his promise to keep the baby safe and find a family to raise it.
• I liked how Lola revealed to Catherine that Greer forged Catherine's handwriting in order to write a letter that proves that Catherine tried to kill Bash and another that used Catherine's money to throw a feast in Bash and Mary's honor.
• I liked how Lola told Catherine that she thinks that Catherine is the bitter one and that she doesn't care why Catherine abuses her power she just wants to take that power away from Catherine forever.
• I think it's sweet that Bash says that he would be loyal to Mary over a country but I also think that, that's something that would make him a bad king as well.

Thoughts on Game of Thrones: The Mountain and the Viper(4.08)

In this episode I liked how when Ser Barristain was given a document that shows that Jorah has spied on Daenerys in the past in order to get a royal pardon so that he could return to Westeros that Barristain respected Jorah enough to warn him about having received this information but that he also wouldn't hide it from Daenerys and that will not allow for Jorah to ever be alone with Daenerys again. I liked how Daenerys demand an explanation out of Jorah and after his confession I thought it was down right foolish of Jorah to beg for forgiveness due to how his spying has hurt her in the past and because he should know Daenerys well enough to know that she's not the forgiving type. I liked how Daenerys was so furious at Jorah that she told him she doesn't want him in her city dead or alive because that shows how done with him she is and it also hurts him the most considering that what he wants most is to be by her side.

I liked how the elders of the Vale all suspected that Littlefinger was behind Lysa's death because they were wise to think he was and I like that Sansa was brought into to be questioned what Lysa's death and that his faith was entirely in Sansa's hands and he had no control over the situation for once. I loved how Sansa was able to make Littlefinger nervous like when she said that she would tell the truth which she actually did stick very close but I have to say that Sansa's testimony seemed so heartfelt and sincere that if I hadn't of known better I would have believed every word of it which just goes to show how good of a player she will one day be in the game. I loved that Sansa's reason behind defending Littlefinger was that she doesn't know what would happened to her if Littlefinger were to die but she knows him and she knows what he wants therefore she took the offer that she knew was safer for her at the moment.

The trial by combat  fight between Oberyn and the Mountain was one of the best fight scenes that I think that show has had so far if it were not the best. Oberyn's style of fighting is very interesting with how he uses this long sword type thing and his movements were fast and graceful in a way especially the flips that he did throughout the fight. I loved how Oberyn no matter how the fight was going shouted for all to hear that he was going to kill the Mountain for raping and murdering his sister and killing her children and how he wanted more than anything to hear him confess not only his part in their deaths but also Tywin's. While I did love that Oberyn wanted to avenge his sister so badly I wished that he would have just killed the Mountain when he was at his mercy but unfortunately his lust for vengeance strong than anything else and this allowed the Mountain to kill him. I was sadden by Oberyn's death not only because I enjoyed him as a character but because I wanted him to get his revenge against the Mountain he we've only ever heard terrible things about and it would have been great to see that even in a world as cruel as this one there will someday be some kind of justice for those horribly murder but that's not something I should have dared to hope for in Game of Thrones. Also while Game of Thrones as had a ton of gory deaths I think that Oberyn getting his skull crushed has got to have been the most disturbing one so far in my opinion.

Movie Review: The Way Way Back

                                                    The Way Way Back Review

This movie is about a 14 year older boy named Duncan who has to spend the summer at the beach house of his mother's jerk boyfriend. Duncan spends the first part of the movie feeling very uncomfortable with his situation but being very quiet in his suffering because he doesn't really know how to stick up for himself. After awhile Duncan finds a place where he can be happy in this water park where he forms an unlikely friendship with Owen who is the slacker manager of the waterpark who helps to show Duncan how to have fun and believe in himself.

I overall thought that this movie had a pretty good story to it even though I don't think I did that great of job describing it but I did like the story. I really liked Duncan as a character and I really felt for him which I think is a good thing because you see almost everything from his point of view which I think helped me to invest in and understand him. I thought that the acting through out the movie was good and I just really liked this movie. Please tell me your thoughts on this movie.

TV Review: Grimm: Eyes of the Beholder(3.10)

                                          Grimm: Eyes of  the Beholder(3.10)Review

• I liked the interactions between Jared and his girlfriend Joy at the beginning of the episode they were cute together and I was scared for him after he saw a Wesson gang beat another Wesson to death.
• I liked how Nick told Juliette at the beginning of the episode that he found out that her friend Alicia is a Wesson but that he thought it was best that they didn't let her know they know because he was afraid her finding out he's a Grimm would scare her.
• I was surprised to learn that Jared was the younger brother of Hank's physical therapist Zuri and I found it very awkward how Hank and Nick had to bring her brother into custody because of how Hank and Zuri have been having a flirty relationship up to this point.
• I liked that Jared and Zuri eventually decided to testify against the gang after they were attacked by members of the gang at their apartment.
• I found it interesting that Rosalee knew about Wesson gangs due to buying drugs from them from when she was younger. I also liked how Rosalee mentioned how she was glad that she didn't have to hide her past from Monroe even though it isn't something she's proud of.
• I liked how Juliette wanted to tell Alicia that she was accepting of her Wesson nature even though that ended up making things awkward between them. I also liked the conversation between Juliette and Rosalee where Rosalee tells her how often times Wessons try to hide the fact that their Wessons from even other Wessons because most people aren't accepting of them in the way that Juliette, Nick and Hank are.
• I liked that after Juliette and Nick help to defend Alicia from her husband that Alicia was able to not only believe that Nick won't hurt her just because he's a grimm and that she was willing to show Juliette her Wesson form and that Juliette hugged her afterwards.
• I was really surprised to learn that Zuri and Jared were Wesson towards the end of the episode because they both were able to control themselves really well in highly stressful situations through out the episode.
• I found it sad that while Hank was able to accept Zuri Wesson nature and all she wasn't able to accept herself.

TV Review: Grimm: Red Menace(3.09)

                                                  Grimm: Red Menace(3.09)Review

• I felt bad for Juliette's friend Alicia who's husband was abusing her so she decided to run away and stay with Juliette and Nick for awhile, I was also very surprised to find out that both her and her husband are Wesson.
• I liked the exchange between Renard and Adalind with how they pretend to like each other, Renard revealed that he knows she's pregnant and informed her that while everyone is interested in her child not many people care about what happens to her after the child is born.
• I liked the mild flirting between Hank and his physical therapist I thought they were kind of cute together.
• I found it interesting that the Russian healer was a Wesson called cosjay who's touch can either heal or kill.
• I liked how when it was revealed that Renard could speak Russian that Hank remarked how that doesn't even surprise him at this point.
• I liked how when Hank suggest that they bring Renard to the trailer that both and Nick and Monroe looked at him like he was crazy.
• I liked how the Russian healer was a former assassin who was working to redeem himself by becoming a healer even though the healing was something that was slowly killing him.
• I was surprised that the one working to kill him was the house keeper Larissa who was trying to avenge her father rather than his wife who although the two had a very tense relationship she still clearly loves him but hates to see him slowly killing himself.

TV Review: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Beginning of the End(1.22)

                             Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Beginning of the End(1.22)Review

• I find it interesting that the centipede soldiers are controllers seem to be only be controlling the soldiers is because their loved ones are being held captive and this is the only way to insure their safety.
• I find it interesting that Fitz said that he spent quite awhile trying to figure out why they sunk which implies that it's common knowledge that med pods float which would imply that Ward wasn't trying to kill them at all but just get them off the plane which should've been safer for them.
• I liked how when Simmons first wakes up she is just so happy that both her and Fitz are still alive until Fitz starts to explain that they can't find a way out that would do them any good since they're in the middle of the ocean with no one looking for them although Fitz to did try to make a distress beacon but since it's a S.H.I.E.L.D. frequency nobody's listening. It was also just pretty sad to see Simmons come to the realization that they were going to die and Fitz had already resigned himself to their death's.
• I liked how Ward mentioned in this episode that him and Garrett were only ever working with Hydra in order to use their resources and that Ward really wants their alliance with them to come to an end.
• I find it frightening how much more unhinged Garrett has become since taking the serum to the point that Ward is really worried about him and I also find it interesting that Garrett now seems to be able to see the truth of things or something and that Raina asks him what she will become.
• I liked how Fitz and Simmons talked about what they thought happens after death, I like how Fitz mentions that his mom always said that after death is just like before life and I like how Simmons started talking about the scientific theory were no new energy is created but rather it just changes form and her and Fitz start talking about at the same time, I also liked that Simmons mentions that even though their energy will create new life that their just as terrified to die as ever. I also liked how Simmons mentions how it's fitting that they'll die were all life began.
• I liked how Simmons figured out that they could burn the seal of the med pod and that they could use something in order to propel themselves to the surface fairly quickly, I loved how they briefly jumped up and down in excitement when they realize they didn't have to die.
• I really enjoy Coulson and Trip's relationship I think that they would make good friends.
• I liked how pretty much everyone was completely horrified of Garrett's behavior when he killed that one military guy.
• I like that Ward can see that Garrett has completely lost his mind but I'm sad that this still isn't enough for him to abandon him no matter how unhappy with him he is.
• I like how Raina pointed out to Ward that she isn't the one that follows Garrett that's him and that she just happens to agree with him.
• I'm very curious about what Raina was talking about when she was saying that the world was going to change and something to do with evolution was important and that Skye was going to be a big part of that.
• I like how Raina mentions that Skye is all Ward ever really wanted but I also like and am sad about how when Raina tells Ward that he could have her that Ward tells her she must really be crazy because Skye hates him and thinks he's a monster, I like it because it shows that ward really doesn't think he stands a chance with Skye and that it's clear this makes him sad.
• I like how Raina questions Ward if he's really a monster or if he's just what Garrett made him and I'm sadden by how Ward doesn't know because he has no really clue about who he really is.
• I really don't like how Raina tried to convince Ward that maybe he could have Skye because he really needs to stop trying to not really choose anything and this just encourages that.
• I like how Skye and May take over the centipede soldiers station.
• I find it so very sad that how Ward is basically begging Garrett to give him orders because he has no idea what to do without them and I find it sad that even though Ward does want Skye he doesn't do anything about it until Garrett orders him to go get her.
• I love and was heartbroken by how Fitz insisted that Simmons would be the one that use the breathing device and how he couldn't live with himself if she died and Simmons tried to refuse because she didn't want to have to live in a world without him either. I loved how Simmons broke down crying and hugged Fitz and kissed him all over his cheeks.
• I loved how Simmons told Fitz how he was her best friend in the world and how Fitz told her that she was more than that but he could never find the courage to tell her so he wants to be able to show her instead and then he pressed the button and the way that she screamed no was so very heartbreaking and I loved how she dragged Fitz's body with her to the surface.
• I'm so glad that Fury showed up and rescued Simmons and Fitz, I'm really worried about Fitz since we don't see him for the rest of the episode and no one really says how bad he is but he's alive so I'm really thankful for that.
• I pretty much agree with Skye that it's pretty sad that Ward ended betraying the only people that ever really cared about him and that he is more weak than evil.
• I find it sad that Ward admits that he hadn't wanted anything for himself in a very long time before Skye because it just doesn't seem healthy to never want anything for yourself ever.
• The fight between May and Ward was very aggressive and had a pretty different vibe than most fights on the show.
• I like how Fury showed up to help to help Coulson to take Garrett down and I really enjoyed how Fury and Coulson commented on how crazy Garrett has become.
• I liked that it was confirmed that Ward was never on top because I always suspected this but it's nice to have confirmation.
• I like how Skye had hacked into Mike and was able to communicate with him and when she had made sure that his son was safe and that she gave a message him a message and that Mike ended up defeating Garrett after this.
• I really disliked that Ward was physically unable to speak during the last scene even though I don't feel like he would say anything even if he could speak.
• I really hate how Coulson tells Ward that he's going to find new ways to ruin his life and that he's going to psychologically and physically torture him because Ward's life has been hell basically he's been abused for his entire life and it seems completely unnecessary to torture him considering that Ward would be miserable enough without it considering not only did he loose the team but also he not only did he loose Garrett but he also has to face that he never cared for him at all. Also Ward has been trained to withstand torture so torturing him for information will be useless.
• On the other hand I do like that Ward is somehow in Coulson's custody and he brings up that Ward has to figure out who he is without Garrett because I feel like this implies that Ward will get a redemption arc someday and in all honesty that's what I want most out of the show at them moment.
• I thought it was nice how Fury told Coulson that he thought of him as an avenger and that he wanted Coulson to be the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and to rebuild the whole organization.
• I'm worried about Coulson creating strange writings at the end of this episode much like Garrett did at the beginning of this episode.
• I'm curious about what Skye's parents are and I'm worried about how Raina showed one of  Skye's parents a picture of her so that they could have a chance to find her.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: Grimm: Twelve Days of Krampus(3.08)

                                          Grimm: Twelve Days of Krampus(3.08)Review

• I find it interesting and quite scary that there was a Wesson that takes naughty children and plans to eat them on winter solstice each year and was dressed up as Santa in this episode.
• I thought it was really sweet how Monroe wanted to surprise Rosalee with the Christmas decorations but I was sad to learn that Rosalee doesn't really celebrate Christmas anymore because her favorite aunt and uncle died on Christmas when she was a kid.
• I'm not really sure what the Resistance is or what their trying to do but I'm still interested in the whole royals Vienna plot despite not really getting it.
• I thought that it was nice that Renard left a note that told Adalind that she has cameras in her room and I'm interested in what their meeting is going to be about.
• I found the myth of Krampus the evil version of Santa that eats children to be really interesting and really creepy but I also found it really interesting that the guy apparently blacks out for three weeks each December and has no idea what he's been doing during that time or even that he's Wesson.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.
