TV Review: Revenge: Disclosure(4.02)

                                               Revenge: Disclosure(4.02)Review

• I liked that Victoria was afraid of what David would do to her if he figured out the truth about what she did.
• I liked that when Nolan found out that Victoria was back he told Emily he didn't want to help her even though he pretty much admitted he already did all that he could to help her track Victoria down because he didn't to enable Emily when it comes to her revenge.
• I actually kind of enjoyed Daniel and Marguex working together to get rid of Gideon mostly because I hate Gideon but also because I just happen to like scenes between those two when Daniel isn't being awful.
• I felt bad for Charlotte when she found out that Gideon was cheating on her and pretty much just thinks she's pathetic and I was sad for her when Daniel pretty much cut her off on the phone as well.
• I thought that David's behavior towards Victoria was super creepy with how he kidnapped her and brought her to this creepy dungeon like place and wouldn't tell her how her survived or what he's been up to since everyone thought he died. Also David's obsession with Victoria was really creepy and I totally understood why she was scared and why she lied to him when she was completely at his mercy.
• I liked that Emily tried to talk Charlotte down from her suicide attempted and I was glad that Charlotte didn't actually end up killing herself.
• I liked that Jack brought Charlotte over to Emily's because they were told by the doctors that he was best for her to be around family.
• I thought it was a bit odd that Emily started off by confessing to Charlotte that she was the one that kidnapped her and then went on to tell her that she's actually her sister. I liked that it seems like Charlotte let Emily fully explain herself about she's been doing before she reacts.
• I liked that Charlotte was upset with Emily with choosing revenge over her own sister and that Emily revealing who she really is didn't make their relationship any better.
• David's fixation on Victoria just got creepier as the episode went on and I liked that her fear of him never faded although I do believe when she's grateful that Conrad's dead I'm just not sure she feels comfortable around his killer.
• I liked how Emily acknowledge that Charlotte was right about her choosing revenge over her own family but I also liked that Nolan pointed out that she did it for her father and that he told Emily that he believes that Charlotte will come around eventually.
• I thought it was really bad idea for Victoria to try to get David to get rid of Emily since she now knows that she's actually Amanda Clarke David's daughter and if he finds out about Victoria's lies thinks aren't looking good for her.
• While I get Charlotte's anger I hated her trying to kill Emily with knocking her out and setting Jack's bar on fire. While I'm sure that Emily will live I am of course at least a little bit worried about her.

Top 8 Character Driven Books

1. Wolves of Mercy Falls: This a series that might come to people's right away when they hear this topic but I think it totally meets the theme of this list. The four main characters of this series are all well defined and different and what drives the story isn't the werewolf drama so much as it is the characters thoughts and feelings, I think that's a reason that most people find these books boring is because they look at it as plot driven when it's actually character driven.
2. Impulse: This book deals with three teenagers after they tried to kill themselves and we get see what led them to that point in their lives and we see them do their best to make a recovery and we get to see how there situations look likely they'll change or stay the same once they get back home.
3. Perfect: This one deals with four teens trying to live up to the impossibility of perfection and how they deal with fail to reach this impossible goal that they have set for themselves and when or if they realize that their goal is impossible.
4. Tricks: This book deals with how five very different teens from all over the country end up involved in selling themselves in order to survive. This book looks at all the different ways and reason this may happen to someone.
5. Identical: This book deals with twin sisters who are from a very dysfunctional family that looks nice on the outside but is anything but on the inside. This book shows how differently the two sisters cope with their family situation.
6. Triangles: This book is about three teens who's parents know each other but they have very different things that they all suffering through as the book goes on.
7. White Oleander: This book deals with Astrid's moving from a whole lot of different foster homes through out her life that are all pretty different and shows how she's pretty different in each home as well, this book also deals with a complicated mother-daughter relationship through out the book.
8. Game of Thrones: This book has tons of different characters who are all different and interesting and all effect the plot in someway and the characters are what really makes me love the series.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: Heavy is the Head(2.02)

                                     Agents of Shield: Heavy is the Head(2.02)Review

• I thought it was nice of Lance to tell May to go after Kreel and the 084 rather than rescue him the car wreck.
• I liked how when Skye told Coulson about the symbols being on the 084 and he dismissed the importance of that she was upset by that and I liked that she worried about Isabelle but I disliked how Coulson didn't tell her that Isabelle died.
• I think that Talbot made a lot of good points when he was telling Lance all the reasons that he should turn on Coulson because Lance has every reason to turn on Coulson and pretty much no reason not to.
• I'm not surprised at all that Skye seems to be taking Simmons leaving as abandonment of them all given her back ground.
• I liked how Mack decided that he would talk to Fitz like he would any other person and I liked how he decided to help Fitz out with his work.
• I liked that Skye was mad at Coulson for hiding stuff from her even though she's not entirely sure what it is or if he's really hiding something from her. I liked that Skye told Coulson that compartmentalizing isn't healthy and I wished she'd take her own advice.
• I liked that Fitz saw the information on Kreel and I thought up ways to stop him and then he remembered that it was something he had already solved last season.
• I liked that hallucination Simmons was attracted to Mack because I just found that amusing and I liked that she pointed out that Mack doesn't treat Fitz in the way everyone else does and that Fitz appreciates that.
• I liked that Coulson did at least take some accountability for Isabelle's death because he should and he hardly ever takes accountability for anything ever and I really wish he did more often.
• I find it interesting that Kreel was affected by the 084 even though he turned his skin into something else when he picked it up.
• I liked that Lance was mad at Coulson for his orders that led to Isabelle's death but I disliked how Coulson was able to convince him that it was Lance's fault that she died not his because that's just untrue.
• I liked that Lance wanted his pay and wanted to get the hell out of Shield because there really is no reason to stay with Shield.
• I liked that when Skye said that Shield was her life no that Lance told her that it's just a job.
• I liked how Raina approached Kreel with a deal to get the 084 and how she made sure that he took a ring of a rare substance that had a tracker in it.
• I liked how Raina left a number for Shield to call so that she could have them get Kreel for her and I liked how she said she wasn't Hydra because their interested in world domination which is so 1943.
• I liked how Raina brought up the writing that Garrett did and I liked how she kind of called into question whether Coulson also has seen the writings.
• I liked that Lance wanted to be the one that killed Kreel in order to avenge Isabelle.
• I really loved that Fitz figuring out the device is what ended up saving the day in the end, especially since last episode Coulson called him useless and this episode he proved himself to be anything but.
• While I do like Lance and all it bothered me how Coulson said he was willing to give second chances to those who do the wrong thing for a good reason when he has a far more skilled and far more likely to follow orders man in the basement vault that he's leaving to rot because Coulson himself is vengeful and petty, I just don't think it makes sense for Coulson to offer Lance a second chance and not Ward.
• I'm upset that both May and Coulson are lying to Skye about something that affects her directly and I can't wait for it to blow up in their faces.
• I'm glad that at the very least May knows about Coulson's alien writing.
• I'm so glad that the 084 didn't kill Raina because I love her and I don't want to loose her anytime soon. I'm pretty frighten of Skye's father because he seems to have pretty good control over Raina who is usually always in control and I'm worried about him getting his hands on Skye.
• I thought Coulson sound a lot more reasonable when trying to convince Talbot that they work together but I'm still glad that Talbot rejected the offer because Coulson is still doing a lot of downright illegal and inhumane things in the name of Shield it just looked less awful this episode.

TV Review: How To Get Away With Murder: Pilot(1.01)

                                  How To Get Away With Murder: Pilot(1.01)Review

• I liked how the episode opened with showing that Wes, Michaela, Connor and Laurel being somehow involved in a murder and them trying to decide what to do with the body, I thought this aspect added a whole other level intrigue to the show.
• I liked that the murder cover up that the show starts with his set three months in the future and that part of the mystery of the show is how they got to that point.
• I really like how Wes is so clearly out of his depth when it comes to being in Professor Keating's class with how he has no idea how tough of a teacher she is or prepared he needed to be for the class before he even entered the room.
• I liked how we saw right away how Connor and Michaela were completely prepared for the class and both of them were very eager to show off their smarts right away. I also liked that Laurel was clearly prepared for the class but was more hesitant to speak up.
• I really dislike Asher but I'm okay with that because I think I'm suppose to hate him since pretty much every other character does as well and almost everything that comes out of his mouth makes me dislike him even more.
• I liked how Keating had her students competing for a chance to work for her by having them try to come up with a better defense for her current case than the one she already came up with.
• I liked that when Wes was trying come up with an argument about why the client didn't try to kill that he comes to the conclusion that she's guilty.
• I'm pretty suspicious of Wes's neighbor Rebecca who I'm sure is hiding something and I'm wondering if she has something to do with the missing girl Lila Standguard's death.
• I liked how when Wes present his argument that the client was suffering from Stockholm syndrome therefore her attempt on the victim's life was self defense that he assumed right away that his argument wasn't good enough but Keating surprised him but telling him that he was still in the running for the job.
• I liked how Michaela went out of her way to research a witness and discredit her by finding out that the witness was color blind and I liked how when Keating praised her good work she also challenged the other students to step up their game.
• I liked how when Wes walked in on Keating with her boyfriend that he was apologetic and completely embarrassed by the situation and that Keating only seemed annoyed to be interrupted.
• I liked how in the three months in the future bits of the episode it shows that Michaela and Connor who are currently very confident and at ease are the ones freaking out and are terrified by what they have to do but Wes and Laurel who are less confident currently are calmer and more in control about the situation, I just find this to be an interesting contrast to have.
• I liked how Connor seduced the IT guy Oliver in order to get the emails for the current case and I also liked how clearly Oliver was into him.
• I liked how Keating didn't seem to care how Connor got the information and instead just did what she had to do to get the evidence into the court room.
• I liked how Laurel figured out just by watching the client and the victim's wife interacted that they planned the victim's murder together.
• I liked that when Wes found out that Keating was cheating on her husband he told her as soon as they were alone that he wouldn't say anything and I liked that she showed a more vulnerable side to herself to him.
• I liked how Laurel questioned Frank about how he didn't care about how his client was guilty and I liked when he stereotyped her that Laurel called out his sexist behavior.
• I liked how Keating was able to cover up for the client being seen buying aspirin the day before the attempted murder by using what she knew about her boyfriend and his job to get the evidence dismissed.
• I liked how Wes didn't at first believe that he earned the spot for working for Keating but she told him that he did and that he was the only one that thought he wasn't good enough for it.
• I liked how the missing girl Lila Standguard was found in a water tank and from what we've seen in the episode I agree with Keating's guess that the boyfriend is the one that killed her.

TV Review: Reign: Higher Ground(1.20)

                                            Reign: Higher Ground(1.20)Review

• I liked how Francis when he found the men holding a fort came up with a plan to capture a castle even though there were so few of them and that he was willing to fit along side of them as equals.
• I like how Mary was looking into who might've been the people Catherine used to kill her country men.
• I liked how Mary asked Catherine for the money to save her mother first and that after Catherine refused it was revealed that Mary already hired a mercenary to steal it for her. I liked that despite being involved in shady dealings now she refused to allow any innocent blood to be shed.
• I found Catherine's confession to be quite funny because she listed quite a few horrible things she has done so matter of factly.
• I liked how Bash felt useless because Francis was off fighting and he couldn't do anything about it and I liked how Kenna told him to remain optimistic and did her best to cheer him up.
• While I was a bit worried when Catherine quickly figured out that Mary was behind her kidnapping I was also impressed.
• I liked that Leith was the one that saved Francis's life during battle and I liked that Francis was so grateful to him and said that he is in his debt.
• I liked how Lola pretty much figured out that Julian married her for her money and how she's worried about whether he might leave her because she needs him and she has fallen in love with him, I liked that Greer tells Lola not to dwell so much on the why if she's happy now.
• I liked that Mary was fairly outraged when she saw that Catherine's cousin Hortenza wouldn't pay her ransom even though Mary and Catherine are often at odds it's nice to see that Mary wouldn't consider letting her day if she could do anything about it.
• I liked how Kenna was able to convince Bash to investigate Julian after telling him that she wants to look out for Lola as her friend and that he as her husband should want to help her and then he does.
• I really hated Hortenza with how she was so very willing to have anyone who might get in her way killed and how she clearly has no remorse over this course of actions and I think Mary made the right choice in having her framed and killed to keep Catherine from knowing that she's the one that had her kidnapped.
• I liked that Francis plan in taking out the English was more about how to make sure that they all survived rather than him thinking of the men as chess pieces like nobles often do in war.
• I liked that Julian eventually went to Lola and told her the truth about him being broke and that he decided to stay with her in the end because he loves her.
• I liked how Francis refused to leave Leith to die and how he told Leith to think of the person that he would keep fighting for which of course was Greer and I liked how Francis told Leith that he would reward him a title when they returned home and that's one of the better parts of being a noble.
• I liked that Catherine seemed somewhat concerned by the fact that Mary might have lost her innocence by ordering someone's death.
• I both liked and found it a bit concerning how Mary took control over Hortenza's men even though she knows they are the ones that killed her country men and she thinks of them as monsters.

TV Review: Revenge: Renaissance(4.01)

                                               Revenge: Renaissance(4.01)Review

• I find it a bit odd that Emily decided to move into Grayson Manor but I'm kind of guessing that she did it because it's some form of revenge for her to live in the house that Victoria values so much.
• I liked how Emily and Nolan seem to be planning and throwing parties together and quite possibly have been living together for the past couple of months, I just really love seeing their closeness.
• I liked how Nolan questioned Emily about whether or not she was planning any takedowns at her party and when she answered no he was so happy because he thought that Emily has finally been able give up revenge and find a happy ending for herself.
• I liked that Daniel had backed out of Marguex magazine and I like that she now thinks of him as a lazy loser on the downside Marguex new haircut is really awful who on earth would think that was a good idea.
• It felt completely and totally random that Jack's working as a cop now especially since he was being arrested last time we saw him but on the upside his partner seems cool.
• I liked how Nolan didn't really want to let Emily drive his car but after arguing for a minute he gave in and let her drive it which she then proceed to back into the car behind her and I liked how she told Nolan she'd buy him a new one.
• I liked how proud Nolan was of Emily for resolving conflict without revenge being involved but I'm curious about why he wasn't more suspicious of Emily crashing his car and the person being right there because that is kind of similar to how Emily's revenge schemes have started out in the past.
• I thought it was so creepy how Charlotte took Jack's son from daycare so that he would terrified although I get her being mad at him because she thinks he's her sole kidnapper but he real isn't so I don't like her punishing him especially if it involves his kid.
• I liked how Victoria used friendships she formed with the fellow patients in order to help her escape.
• I liked how when Victoria called and yelled at Emily about how she treated her so unfairly that Emily pointed out that Pascal's death was Conrad's fault not her's and that she would do the rest all again because Victoria stole her childhood from her.
• I liked how Emily mentioned that Nolan told her that Jack looked like a stripper in his cop uniform and that she disagreed with that statement.
• While I think this whole Jack's randomly a cop storyline is ridicules I liked how Jack wanted to be a cop because he knew that he could never be bought like the cops had when dealing with Amanda's and Declan's deaths.
• I like that Daniel was willing to pay for Charlotte's rent even though he was broke and therefore couldn't afford it but I did like that he sold his car for her and that he was ripped off a bit while selling it.
• I liked how Nolan called Emily the new queen of the Hamptons and I liked that he kissed her on the cheek afterwards and I have to believe that at least half the people at the party thinks their together.
• I liked that Marguex told Emily that she was wrong to let Daniel color her earlier opinion of her and I hope those two can be friends in the future since I love them both.
• I liked how Jack's partner was very impressed by Jack's connections that got him invited to Emily's party.
• I was very sad to see Charlotte doing coke but I liked how Jack saved her from getting arrested and got rid of her coke and told her to get her act together. I was also disappointed that she was dating Gideon.
• I really love the whole scene where Victoria escaped it was really great to watch.
• I liked how Nolan and Jack talked about what happened with Charlotte and after Jack mentioned wanting to look out for her and her being involved with Gideon that Nolan mentioned that he almost did business with Gideon and then went to Marguex and told her about Gideon's dealings with both Charlotte and Daniel.
• I liked how Emily got revenge for someone else in this episode because she thought that it would help them from being like her and I liked how mad Nolan was once he realized what was going on and not just because she went through with a takedown but because she kept it from him that she did it behind his back when he had been there for her since the beginning.
• I liked how Nolan tried to convince Emily to come out as Amanda Clarke and how she told him that she couldn't do that because everyone that girl loves and has ever loved her is gone so there's nothing to go back. I also love that the thing Nolan was most upset about was that Emily shut him out.
• I liked that Marguex found out about Gideon's scheming because I don't want her to trust the wrong people.
• I liked how when Emily called Nolan asked if they were breaking up or making up, I'm also really curious about how it is that we're not suppose to ship them with lines like these. I liked how Emily admitted that she doesn't think that she can give up on revenge and I loved how Nolan called her a unique bloodthirsty snowflake.
• I liked how when Victoria came to the door telling Emily that she was coming after her that Emily pretty much welcomed it because it's clear that Emily can't give up on revenge and she's glad that Victoria is giving her an excuse not to.
• I like that David kidnapped Victoria because I don't want him to forgive her right away because she played a huge part in framing him and she destroyed his daughters life to save her own skin.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: Shadows(2.01)

                                           Agents of Shield: Shadows(2.01)Review

• I liked how this episode started back in the 1940s with Peggy Carter taking away the 084 that seemed to turn people into stone or something if they touched and would be seen later in the episode.
• I'm really sad that Skye seems so cold, empty and blindly loyal to Coulson's orders basically I'm sad that she became everything she was against last season and I really miss her even though she technically had quite a bit of screen time in this episode.
• I liked Isabelle's team mainly because they brought a lighter aspect to this episode that on a whole was dark and sad.
• I liked that Lance disliked the whole being left in the dark thing because someone needs to be pointing out that the way Shield operates is a problem.
• I dislike that Coulson seems to haven't been around in weeks and has been neglecting his team and I really hated how he complained about having to fly coach seems like a pretty petty problem to have to me.
• I liked that Fitz was up walking around, talking and even attempting to do his job overall I like that damage doesn't seem as severe as I thought it would be. I feel bad for Fitz with how it's clear that he still seems to have his  same generally knowledge base but doesn't seem to able to communicate his thoughts and ideas like he use to.
• I like how Trip has come up with theories about the Koegnies because there are so many of them which makes me believe that they might not be human at all.
• I like the friendship that Trip and Skye seem to have developed because it's one of the very few times throughout this episode that Skye showed positive emotions.
• I'm glad that Coulson is having someone look into the alien writing although I'm not sure Skye is a great choice for that since the writing is somehow related to the drug that was used on both him and Skye to keep them alive so it might be harmful for her to spend so much time staring at those writings. I was sad that Skye seemed so excited to see Coulson because it's clear from that she misses him very much.
• So the conditions that Shield is imprisoning Ward in are completely inhumane with having no access to sunlight and such things that are consider basic human rights so I really started to root for Shield to be arrested at this point in the episode because what they are doing is illegal and cruel.
• I'm not really surprised that Ward tried to kill himself but I am surprised and appalled that no one seems to be concerned at all about this, I'm really upset that Ward tried to kill himself three times and there was no mention of him ever seeing a therapist probably because Shield loves treating him like he's less than human which just makes me hate Shield.
• I'm actually quite proud of Ward that he found a way to keep himself from committing suicide even if wanting to help Skye seems like an unhealthy coping mechanism I think we should keep in mind that Ward as no real way to live for himself so it kind of had to be about someone else.
• I liked how Ward told Skye that he doesn't expect forgiveness from her which I already kind of figured during last season when all he asked for was understanding but it's still nice to see I was right about Ward not believing he deserves forgiveness and I liked that he was perfectly willing to give information that she need and that all he wanted was to help her.
• I think that Skye thinking that Ward enjoys killing people just shows how she doesn't understand him at all anymore.
• I liked how Ward promised Skye that he will tell her the truth for the rest of his life. I also like that what he wants to tell her most his what he knows about her father which I'm confused about what that is since I didn't think he knew much more than that one story Raina told him.
• I really hate how Coulson said that he doesn't care what is wrong with Ward as long as he gives them intel, this right here is why I will not call Coulson a good guy or a hero until he starts treating all people like human beings not things that give him what he wants or needs, also any good person would care about what was wrong with someone who was clearly suicidal.
• I'm so happy that Talbot call Coulson out for his whole acting like a criminal with how he kidnapped Talbot and that Talbot refused to work with Coulson because isn't the good guy he paints himself to be.
• I felt bad for Fitz when he talked about how he felt that he was being replaced and how he feels that everyone is looking at him like he's broken and how that is so not what he needs right now to get better he just needs to be treated like a regular person not like he's going to break at any second.
• I liked that when Isabelle was dying from touching the 084 that Skye clearly wanted her orders to be to not go on with the mission and instead save Isabelle and I was both sad that Skye decided to follow Coulson's order rather than her own compassion but I also liked it because she is on her way to understanding who she said she never would because she's acting just like he did last season.
• I loved that Lance didn't listen to Coulson's orders and instead got Isabelle the hell out of there and did all he could to save her life sadly though that wasn't enough.
• I really hated how Coulson was willing to let Isabelle die over a plane and put even more of his team at risk to get it, I'm just saying that there's nothing good or heroic about valuing an object over people's lives or stealing from the military in order to hide from them because you don't like following their laws.
• I was surprised when it was revealed that Simmons wasn't actually there but only in Fitz's head but I'm not really surprised that Simmons left because she's been loosing faith in Shield for quite a long time and if she feels that she wasn't helping Fitz by being there I can't see why she would want to stay.
• I thought it was pretty crappy of Coulson to say that Fitz is useless to him now because he couldn't finish the cloaking device quick enough and I think it's wrong and down right inhumane to not have Fitz seeing a doctor regularly for his injuries basically I hate how Coulson values his organization over basic human rights, I really can't wait until Coulson realizes how far he has fallen.
