Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones Review

So it's been a hot minute since I last reviewed a book that I read and that's because I've been so busy that I've barely read any new books and those that I did, I was mostly indifferent to in that I fell in love with the first book but then they got worse as they went and by the end, I was just glad to be done. It's scarred me so much that I've been rereading books that I love because sometimes you need something to make you smile and I know what books make me smile so why not reread them over and over?

I had Wintersong on my bookshelf for so long and I finally picked it up this weekend when I had a little bit of free time and not enough to watch a movie or a tv show and I had the hardest time putting this book back down. The synopsis is as follows:

The last night of the year. Now the days of winter begin and the Goblin King rides abroad, searching for his bride… All her life, Liesl has heard tales of the beautiful, dangerous Goblin King. They’ve enraptured her mind, her spirit, and inspired her musical compositions. Now eighteen and helping to run her family’s inn, Liesl can’t help but feel that her musical dreams and childhood fantasies are slipping away. But when her own sister is taken by the Goblin King, Liesl has no choice but to journey to the Underground to save her. Drawn to the strange, captivating world she finds—and the mysterious man who rules it—she soon faces an impossible decision. And with time and the old laws working against her, Liesl must discover who she truly is before her fate is sealed.

I actually think the book reminded me more of the myth of Hades and Persephone more than it reminded me of Beauty and the Beast like the synopsis on Goodreads claims. It had a wonderful world that you could fall into and a beautiful ending but the heroine made me want to smack her a few times in how passive she was and how she couldn't see where things were going while they seemed so obvious from my perspective. The middle of the book got kind of boring but the ending more than made up for it. I'd give this book like 4/5 stars.

Now I'm about to get into spoilers so if you haven't read the book, stop here, go read it and then come back!

So like I mentioned Liesl was kind of annoying at parts. I understood where she was coming from completely especially because of the age she was from and how her family treated her. Despite this, she acted so dumb throughout so much of the book. When she went to save her sister from the Goblin King, I knew right away that she needed to sacrifice herself for her sister and I couldn't understand why it took her chapters to realize what she needed to do. And then when she married the Goblin King, she never asked him what would happen to her or what her purpose was or anything that could have helped. She just wanted him to sleep with her and when he didn't, she threw a tantrum.

I did like the Goblin King although I wish we could have learned more about him or gotten to know him better. The story was more about Liesl learning who she was and accepting herself and the Goblin King was kind of just a path to that. As soon as he revealed his love for her and her love for him, he let her go. I loved the idea of the book being about reminding Liesl of who she was and that she was more than just a daughter or sister without wants or needs but I still wish we could have seen more of the Goblin World and seen her rule or even seen her fall in love. Most of the love for the Goblin King came from her childhood (that we didn't see) on his part and from the freedom he gave her to be herself on her part.

This leads to the terribly tragic ending this book had. I could not stop crying for the last few chapters. I kept waiting for their love to be enough to bring the Goblin King back to life the way that Liesl's changling brother was living in the world or thinking that maybe they would figure out a way for Liesl to keep visiting. If she was dying in the Goblin World, why couldn't she be like Persephone and stay in the world for a while and then go stay in the Goblin World for a while? I'm not a fan of sad endings even though I can appreciate them for what they are. It does make sense in the end cause like I said before, this book wasn't really a love story but a story about finding yourself.

I'd definitely recommend you read this book if you haven't already! There's no sequel in the plans but there might be a companion novel released next year. I probably will not read it though cause I'm not a fan of novellas.

That's all for now!

Arrow Season 5 Episode 18 Review

Another amazing episode from Arrow tonight! Normally I like the lighter stories from my shows but this super dark turn Arrow has taken recently is seriously working for.

Something about this whole thing with Oliver is really tugging on my heartstrings. I was so emotional after last week's episode and surprisingly I was one of the only ones based on the feedback I saw across the board and it was no different this week. I think I'll always have a special place in my heart for Arrow and Oliver Queen because this was the first dctv show on air and it was what made me love the Arrowverse so seeing my poor baby Oliver hurting hurts me. There is so much history in the show that we can call upon at any time to make us tear up and it's amazing.

Oliver's sad quiet voice that he was using all episode perfectly summed up his emotional state and again props to Stephen Amell for killing it in the acting department. I loved that John refused to let Oliver wallow and constantly reminded him that they were brothers and that nothing Oliver could do would push him away. Everything about this was perfect. Again this wouldn't mean as much if we didn't have 4 and a half seasons of history to call back on. I also was glad that Oliver finally broke it off with Susan because it was a matter of time but I wonder at that weird look on her face when she left. Do we think she might try to reveal the truth or do something bad?

The break in Oliver and Anatoli's relationship was also heartbreaking when paralleled with how close they were in the flashbacks in Russia. I love Anatoli so I was pumped to see him back tonight but I am so glad that the show called out Anatoli on how cold he was acting recently. There was such a huge distinction between the Anatoli from the past and even from season 2 and the Anatoli we've met in current day that I was confused. I was relieved to find out that I wasn't just seeing things or that the writing was falling flat but in fact that there was a method to the madness. Of course Anatoli would get colder after running the Bratva alone and without friends. It's probably a constant struggle for power and Anatoli probably had to do such terrible things to keep the power. I wonder if this is leading to Anatoli becoming a villain possibly next season or if they'll reconcile at some point. Either one would be fine with me.

Felicity was such a badass tonight. She with the help of Curtis and that girl from Helix who I still don't trust were able to find video of Chase removing his Prometheus hood. I loved the scene where she and Curtis snuck into Kord Industries and she stabbed that security agent with a tranq I'm assuming. Oliver's proud look towards Felicity was amazing and it made me a little sad that Felicity wasn't working with John to help Oliver although I completely understand why. She helped him in her own way and they're still super awkward around each other after the breakup. Did you notice how he couldn't even look Felicity in the eyes after he got back from being tortured by Chase?

I am so so so so so glad that step 1 in nailing Chase has been achieved. I wanted to punch his face so hard when Chase came into Oliver's office whining about being in mourning for his wife and when he started to taunt Oliver. He knew he broke Oliver and he was rubbing it in and oh I've never wanted someone dead more in my life. His entire plan has been shot to shit by Felicity and the world knows he's Prometheus and he's not the good guy he's pretending to be. That last season where he stabbed that agent with a pen over and over was insane and I'm pretty sure Chase is not mentally stable anymore. He says Oliver enjoys killing, I think Chase enjoys it a lot more.

Arrow is also off until the end of April which is so annoying. What am I going to do when my shows are all going off air??? Anyway, it looks like a Felicity-centric episode which yay and it looks like the team is finally going to pay attention to Helix and possibly get her out? Double yay! I can't wait to see what happens!!

The Flash Season 3 Episode 18 Review

We had an okay episode of the Flash this week but the episode got so epic in the last few moments which makes it so sad that we won't be back until the end of April cause I'm on the edge of my seat!

So Abra Kadabra was fine. He was from the future and killed a bunch of people across the different Earths all to steal parts to build a time machine. Apparently he killed Gypsy's partner (in the romantic sense as well as the business one) and she was out for blood and he claimed that he would tell Barry who Savitar was but honestly I could tell from the beginning that he was just playing games and we wouldn't find out from him. I want to know why all these people are traveling back from the future to hurt Barry. Shouldn't someone like Legends be stopping these villains from time traveling? It just seems too easy. Speaking of, Barry literally knows a bunch of people with a time traveling ship. Instead of going through all this craziness, can't he contact Sara and ask Gideon who Savitar is? It would solve a lot of problems.

As much as I love time travel on this show and I like the idea of having to save Iris, I cannot stop thinking that so much could be solved if I don't know they put Iris on the time ship with the Legends. Savitar could maybe get her on another Earth but he couldn't follow her through time if they stay in the temporal zone. I get that the Legends have their own problems but if Iris jumped on the other timeship they have, problems solved.

Gypsy and Cisco might be done too cause she prioritized revenge over saving someone's life and not just a random someone, one of Cisco's good friends. I don't know how I feel about this because I can never decide if I like the two of them or not. Gypsy is a fun character but I feel like Cisco deserves better cause he is one of the best characters on the show.....

Caitlin is officially Killer Frost and I am so freaking excited for this to happen. I loved every moment of her on screen tonight and how strong she was to fight through the pain and get her surgery done but the moment the last scene of the episode began, I knew she was going to die or turn cause we have never had a scene after the Flash logo that isn't ominous or hints at the next episode. I loved her "death scene" and how torn up everyone was. Props to Carlos for some heartbreaking acting! I know it was supposed to be super emotional but I couldn't stop grinning cause there was no way in hell they were going to kill Caitlin and I knew that someone would take her necklace off after Cisco explained earlier in the episode that Killer Frost could heal all wounds. I liked that it was Julian who ultimately did it and I can't wait to see what happens with her.

The next episode won't be back until the end of April but the promo makes it look so good! Barry is going to travel to the future and meet the future versions of himself. I really hope future Barry tells him almost right away cause I can't imagine future Barry being coy with the secret cause if there's any chance to save Iris, he should take it. But then that would lead to a boring episode so there has to be some drama... Maybe he'll have to save future Central City or won't be able to find future Barry until the end of the episode?

Tune in tomorrow for my Arrow review!

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 17 Review

Guys why are the Kevin Smith episodes the best ones across the board? His episodes are always so emotional and powerful and perfectly well written, acted and directed! Not that other episodes weren't, there's just something so epic about Smith's episodes!

Let's start with Maggie and Alex. I did not care for the return of Maggie's ex but I loved the fallout from the ex's return and the conversation Maggie and Alex had. It made my heart melt and I almost teared up!!! I love love love that this relationship is such an adult relationship! Unlike Kara, when Alex has a problem with Maggie, she is honest and talks it out with Maggie and looks at the problem from Maggie's point of view. So many problems on tv could be resolved with a simple conversation but people always end up lying to each other and ignoring it until the problem blows up in their faces. It was everything and I love them so much. I just wish we could have more moments where Maggie hangs out with the rest of the team. And I do miss Alex and Kara moments like we had last season but it makes sense since both are in relationships now and their heavy emotional moments are with their significant others.

Now onto Mon El's family. I am so glad that we got more with Mon El's parents this week. They just seemed too diabolical and had way too much story potential for the show to just write them off after last week. His parents being evil or at least not good like Kara thought they were was great although I do wish we had seen a little more from Mon El's father. I still want to know why Mon El told Kara that he would run if his dad came back cause to me it looked like Rhea was the more evil one. I loved the idea that Rhea put a bounty on Kara hoping that if she was killed Mon El would come back and despite wanting more from Mon El's dad, I seriously loved every moment she was on screen. She makes a terrific villain and I liked the twist from last season where last season Astra's husband was the more evil one and Astra wanted what was best for Kara and this season Rhea is the evil one and Rhea's husband wanted what was best for Mon El. I wasn't sure at the end if Rhea was going to kill her husband for turning on her or if he was going to turn around and tell her that everything he did was part of an evil plan to get Mon El back but I did like what we got! She's so deliciously evil! I do hope we get a little more flashbacks or more exposition on Mon El's life on Daxam because I'd love to learn a little more!

Mon El and Kara were adorable this episode and I'm so glad we're back to a good place for them but I'm worried that the show is going to kill him off at the end of the season. The show was not subtle with the Romeo and Juliet comparisons this week and after seeing how the Flash gets rid of guest stars every season, I'm worried that Mon El will actually sacrifice his life for Kara at the end of the season. I want Mon El to stay cause not only is he such a good character but he makes Kara so happy and after this season, I just can't see her with a human especially after the constant comments everyone on the show makes about how Mon El has the strength to keep up with Kara and how when they're together, she doesn't have to worry about hurting him. I want to see him really become a hero with a costume and everything and save people not because Kara wants him to but because he wants to. He's become an excellent boyfriend, now it's time for him to become an excellent hero.

Speaking of getting rid of Mon El, I did really wonder if the show was going to write him off like M'gann and have him go off with his parents to Daxam because that would have made sense in a way. Even though I would love to see him be a prince and a better King, I don't want this storyline to come true cause the show is about Kara not Mon El so if he did decide to become a King again, it would be off screen and he would leave the show like what they did with M'gann who also wanted to help her people. Unlike in Reign and the three courts we see, we would not see two different worlds and that's sad. By the way was it just me or did Mon El's powers change a little and now he has a bit of super speed? I do like that they're exploring this because early on in the season it was just super strength and in the comics he has a ton more so it's nice to see a little more.

Also I thought there was a bunch of hilarious moments this episode with the board game night in Kara's apartment and the hilarious fight between Kara and Mon El where they both kept apologizing to each other.

The next episode looks like the return of Lena! Katie Mcgrath is officially a series regular next season so congrats to her! I still want her to be a villain but I don't want her to become one until the end of next season because I feel like we haven't had enough of the Lena/Kara friendship yet to make Lena's turn really hurt. It looks like Lena will get a new boyfriend (or an old boyfriend returns) and he is evil and also Ravi from iZombie so yay! I can't wait to see what we get! Unfortunately Supergirl is off until the end of April so we'll have to wait until then!

Tune in tomorrow for my Flash review!

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 14 Review

So I actually ended up liking this episode a lot more than I expected even though it was a Regina-centric one. There was a lot I enjoyed and some parts that I was confused with.

So let's do Regina first. I really don't know why we needed all those Regina flashbacks just to show that Regina hated herself most of all in the past. Duh. It was nice to see Tinkerbelle again though! I also enjoyed how Regina forgave the Evil Queen in present day and rather than killing her, she did the right thing and took back her darkness and gave EQ some of her light. It was very poetic and I expected the story would end this way although I figured EQ would be absorbed into Regina but I like this way better because now EQ gets her own happy ending with Robin. Although as cute as all that was, how on Earth is EQ going to get a fresh start in Wish Realm where Regina murdered Snow and Charming, where Emma is missing, where everyone is terrified of her and where Henry is hunting her down. Like what. I thought based on the flashbacks, EQ would be sent to an alternative timeline or something where she does go into the tavern.

I'm just hoping that now that this whole EQ storyline is wrapped up for the hundredth time, we can move onto better things. No seriously. How many times have we seen Regina battle her darkness by now? It's season 6. Give her something else to do.

Speaking of battling darkness, Hook being an idiot continued this episode. He got some great advice from Captain Nemo about either telling Emma the truth or learning to forgive himself and rather decided to go with option c which was trying to burn his memories away. In Emma's house. In the living room. Where she could walk in at any time. Seriously why is everyone so dumb on this show? I did like that Emma was upset at Hook not for killing David's father but for not telling her. I had hoped that's where the storyline would go but I wasn't putting my hopes up after Supergirl last week and Olicity last season. Shows like to create artificial drama and it's super annoying. I also didn't believe that Hook would leave with Nemo but I really liked how Gideon forced him to leave cause even he knows that Emma's strength comes from her loved ones and by removing Killian, she is vulnerable. Those last few shots of the episode where Emma waited and waited for Killian to come home were heartbreaking!

But on another note, why is it such a big deal that Gideon forced the sub to submerge? Couldn't Nemo bring it back up? Or did Gideon put a spell on it to stay submerged for a certain amount of time? If that's true, couldn't Hook just jump out and swim to the surface? How much do you want to bet that the show isn't even going to bother touching on this next week?

Next week is the RETURN OF JASMINE AND ALADDIN AND I COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED. WHY ARE THEY ON THE NAUTILUS? WHY DIDN'T THEY GO BACK TO AGRABAH? PLEASE TELL ME THEY'RE GOING TO STAY AWHILE AND NOT LEAVE AGAIN AFTER THIS EPISODE! Also Killian is trying to get back to Emma and we're supposed to believe that Emma after all this time thinks that Killian just up and abandoned her when times got tough. Jesus girl, how many times does this man need to risk his life for you before you believe in his love?

Anyway loved this episode and don't forget to check out my Supergirl review tomorrow!

Beauty and the Beast (2017) Review

Hello everyone! As promised, here I am with my review of Disney's Beauty and the Beast! There will be spoilers below so if you haven't checked out this movie yet, first of all why not?? and secondly, go watch it and then come back and we can discuss!

So let me begin by saying that Beauty and the Beast although being a great movie in my opinion has never been my favorite Disney Princess movie. If I had to rank them, Beauty and the Beast would be fifth one my list and that's only if I don't include other non-princess Disney movies: Aladdin, Mulan, Little Mermaid, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Moana, Cinderella, Princess and the Frog, Pocahontas, Brave, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. Because of this, I feel like I was in that weird place where I went to see the movie with not exactly low expectations but not high ones either. Unlike one of my good friends who places Beauty and the Beast as her number one and could not help but nitpick every single scene, I was able to ignore some of the tiny things that irritated her and enjoy the movie for what it was.

Despite this, there was something about this movie that just didn't click for me the way Cinderella did. This was a great movie but it felt like something was missing the whole way through and I cannot for the life of me tell you what that missing thing was. Again this doesn't mean that I hated the film and I would definitely say that if you love Beauty and the Beast, go check this movie out!

Let's jump in, shall we? This is where there will be spoilers!

As is my way, negatives first so we can end on a positive note! Most of my negatives are kind of small things but add up across the board.

First of all, I couldn't help but compare the singing voices of the Beauty and the Beast cast to the original singers and I couldn't help but find them lacking. As a person Emma Watson great but as an actor, I've never understood the hype around her and maybe that's because I don't love Harry Potter like the world does. Despite this I was surprised that I didn't hate her singing voice but despite that, Paige O'Hara was better and this was true across the board. Gaston, and Mrs Potts were just better in the original. I feel as though they should have left the songs out of this movie like in Cinderella to make it feel more realistic (well as realistic as a movie about a cursed prince could be!)

Another problem I had with this film was Belle's dress. I was so utterly heartbroken when she appeared because the gold dress is iconic to Belle and after seeing Cinderella's breaktaking and magical gown in Disney's live action Cinderella, I had such high hopes only for them to be crushed. The dress was pretty, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't Disney magical. It looked like a pretty dress that you could buy in a store rather than one that leaps off a fairytale page.

And finally I was a little weirded out by how they changed Gaston and not only made him less evil in this movie but also gave him a proper backstory and an explanation as to why he was the way he was. Normally this would be a great thing cause you know how I love villains and grey areas but in a Disney movie, especially this one, you need a clear-cut villain. Changing Gaston made him so much more likeable and it makes you wonder why Belle disliked him so much especially based on the era that this film was set in. I would marry film Gaston and not just cause Luke Evans is so hot. Both he and the Beast started out kind of terrible but over time Belle was able to see the better side of the Beast and if she gave Gaston half a chance, maybe she would have seen the good in him too. What does movie Gaston really do that's all that terrible? Try to lock up/threaten Belle's father? So did the Beast and unlike the Beast, Gaston never kidnapped Belle and forced her to live as a prisoner.

Now those are all my outright negatives about the film and before I go into the positives I want to talk about how, like I said before, I was kinda meh about this movie. As I think about it more, I wonder if maybe part of my lack of love for this film was the lack of chemistry between Belle and the Beast. In romantic films, chemistry between the main couple is the most important thing and Lily and Richard in Cinderella smoldered and made our hearts melt. Emma tried her hardest but it's hard to have chemistry with a CGI monster and I think that was a detriment to the film.

I also want to mention that a lot of people complained because they thought this movie was too close to the animated one and I just want to say that I think that complaint is silly. This isn't a prequel or sequel or spin-off from the original Beauty and the Beast but a live-action adaptation. Of course the movie is going to be similar to the animated one and I don't know why you expected something different especially since the movie did add several scenes that answered some loopholes and filled in the story more.

Speaking of, let's get into the positives!

As I mentioned, there were a bunch of scenes and songs added to the movie that weren't in the original animated film and I loved every single one cause I thought they fit so well into the film. I loved that scene in the beginning of the film where the town people attacked Belle for being different because it helped prevent Belle from seeming like such a snob cause in the original she walked around thinking she was better than everyone and it was like why do you hate the people, they're not mean to you! I also liked how the movie added a bunch of scenes from the original Beauty and the Beast fairytale like when Belle's father stole a rose and infuriated the Beast. I also loved the explanations as to why the people didn't know about the prince and how no one in the castle called the Beast by his real name and how Beast was aged up and frozen in age so that he wasn't a child when he spurned the fairy. I also loved the change in the scene where Beast takes Belle to the library because it makes Belle's gratitude and surprise feel much more genuine and less like she was being seduced to break a curse.

I also loved the addition of the Beast's song about Belle leaving (even though I complained about the casts' singing voices) because it was so raw and heartfelt. Even though I didn't like them as much, I did enjoy most of the songs but my favorite has to be the way that Be Your Guest was done. The CGI in this scene was amazing and so magical! I also laughed because Belle kept reaching for food and the plates kept getting taken away before she could actually eat any of it.

Luke Evans was amazing as Gaston. Like I said before, he brought this charm to Gaston that made you not help but love him. Dan Stevens was amazing as the Beast especially since he had to portray as much as he could through his voice alone. I loved the final scene when everyone was hugging each other and finding family members they hadn't seen in a long time and the dance that Belle and Adam (?) shared although it was real creepy when Belle told Adam to grow a beard.

So overall I did enjoy the movie and I would definitely recommend watching it in theaters if you're interested in it because visually it's amazing and watching it on your laptop wouldn't do it justice. I still believe that the animated movie was better and if I had to rank the live-action Disney films, I would put Cinderella before Beauty and the Beast. This adaptation does make me kind of nervous for the upcoming Aladdin, Mulan and Little Mermaid adaptations and I really hope that whatever magic they found in Cinderella can be replicated in these upcoming movies.

I hope you enjoyed my review and I'll see you tomorrow for my Once Upon a Time review!

Iron Fist Season 1 Review

Hey guys so I just finished watching Marvel's Iron Fist on Netflix and I thought I'd do a quick review of it for you! WARNING THERE WILL BE SPOILERS BELOW! If you haven't checked out Iron Fist yet, go watch it and then come back. These are all MY personal opinions so please don't get too upset!

So let me start by saying that I think I actually enjoyed the season more than most people did and after watching all the Marvel Netflix shows and hearing/reading reviews, I've decided that my opinion differs from mostly everyone else's for reasons unknown (except in the case of Jessica Jones). There was a lot of buzz around the release of this show based on a ton of negative reviews but since I usually disagree with reviewers, I did not go in worrying about how good it would be. Part of this is due to the fact that I knew basically nothing about Iron Fist as a character and so had no expectations about what the show would be. I have recently discovered I'm a DC girl more than a Marvel girl (shocking right) in that I think DC heroes are more interesting so I try to learn all I can about them which leads to high expectations (as evidenced by my DCTV reviews) while Marvel I try to enjoy at face value.

I hope all that made sense cause I feel like I had a point in there somewhere and I started out with a plan but then just word vomited all over that paragraph. My overall point was that I heard all the negative press about the show, thought about it for 0.5 seconds and then tossed it out the window to watch the show with no expectations. I did (despite my earlier rant about wanting to go into Marvel products blind) watch one video on Youtube which recapped who Iron Fist was by explaining his backstory and his powers which I do like to do before watching a show cause I like to know what powers a superhero has so I'm not confused.

Where is all this leading? To me saying that I actually really enjoyed Iron Fist. I'd give it a 6/10 and I'd rank it as follows: Daredevil S2, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Daredevil S1. The reason it beat out Luke Cage was that despite Luke Cage's overall theme being a lot better than Iron Fist's, I thought that Harold Meachum made a much better villain than Diamondback and that there's something just so fascinating about The Hand.

Let me start with some of the negatives of the show before I get into the positives. Here's where the spoilers begin!!!! Don't say I didn't warn you!

First of all, I will admit that the first few episodes of the season were a bit rough and made me so irritated. I understood why everyone was pretending that Danny wasn't really Danny but I couldn't help but be annoyed with it anyway. Were we seriously to believe that Danny's parents who were billionares, founders and majority shareholders in a large corporation never once had any DNA taken and stored that could have been compared to Danny's? And to top it off, for three or so episodes Danny kept saying that he wanted to talk and that he was the real Danny but it wasn't until he got to the mental hospital that he actually gave out information that only he knew and I was sitting there wondering why he didn't just blurt it out in Ward's office in the first episode! If he started shouting about how they would play Monopoly or that he hated a certain color of M&Ms or that he made Joy a vase from the start, all this could have been avoided.

I also cared so very little for Joy Meachum and disliked her from almost the beginning of the season when she tried to buy out Danny instead of helping him. Like your best friend just came back from the dead and you're more worried about him taking back the company than his wellbeing? I couldn't help but compare Iron Fist to Arrow cause there were so many parallels (bad me!) and compare Tommy to Joy. She did not get any better as the season progressed and I suppose we're to believe that she will be an antagonist in the next season if there is one. I think Joy's biggest flaw was one that many characters have in that they don't actually know anything about what's going on but think and act like they do and pass judgment without knowing all the facts. Technically this is no fault of Joy herself but she never tried to learn everything and instead decided to shut everyone out and leave. Good plan Joy.

I also was not a fan of the way Danny's emotions were portrayed. I understand that Danny is a human and he is not perfect but after 15 years or so with monks you would think that he would have learned not only to control his emotions better but also to have gotten past his parents' death. Every time Danny spoke of them, it was like it just happened yesterday and I understand PTSD and everything but I feel like the monks should have taught him to face his emotions directly and get past them and how to look at situations more logically. Instead we got a violate Danny who snapped as a moment's notice and would rush into things head first without thinking.

Another thing that irritated me was the amount of time we spent at Rand Enterprises. This could have been interesting but Danny despite how much he fought for his seat back didn't actually care about Rand and so we were forced to sit through boardroom politics that our main character wasn't a part of. I know it gave the Meachums something to do but I was so very bored by it. I only like boardroom politics and politics in general on TV when the characters we're following are sharks and can outwit the people they're playing against. I personally find this kind of intelligence very attractive and honestly prefer mentally badass characters to physically badass ones so it was a lost opportunity.

And finally this isn't really a complaint but it's not a positive either so maybe it'd be a neutral observation but did anyone else notice how Danny kind of was the villain in this show? I've always been fascinated with the idea that certain villains are only villains when they're viewed from the eyes of those they've wronged. If you know me you know I love the grey areas and grey characters and nothing is better than a complex villain. Danny despite being a hero in that he's trying to stop the Hand and Harold Meachum was also a villain in the eyes of K'un-Lun and Davos in that he stole the power of the Iron Fist and then ran away with it leaving K'un-Lun to fend for themselves. Isn't that such a villainous move? Like if we followed the show from Davos' POV we would see a selfish outsider who left our people alone and vulnerable. I freaking loved it. Davos is also being set up to be the villain next season and the best part is that we can totally see his point of view and may even agree with him, especially now that K'un-Lun has been destroyed or overthrown or gone from this dimension.

Now let's move to the positives!

So first of all, I actually really liked Finn Jones as Danny. I know a lot of people had problems with his portrayal but I personally thought he was fine. Would I have preferred an Asian American, of course, but I had no problem with what I got. In fact I actually loved everyone that the show cast, particularly Tom Pelphrey as Ward Meachum and David Wenham as Harold Meachum. Tom played Ward in the perfect place where we as the audience could simultaneously hate and pity him. We started out thinking that Ward was a terrible person and ending up cheering him for killing Harold in the end. That shot of the pictures of Ward and Danny framed on the wall made me grin! David was able to play Harold as evil and crazy and even when he was pretending to be nice or loving, there was this air of danger coming off of him. His motivations made sense and I loved the reveal of him being the one to kill Danny's parents in the end.

I also loved Colleen Wing and her relationship with Danny. It was the best portrayed in the Marvel Netflix shows (other than maybe Luke and Claire) in my opinion and I thought they had great chemistry together. One of my favorite scenes was the one where Danny and Colleen recharged their chi together to hip-hop music. It was much sexier than their actual sex scene. Beyond the romance and how completely badass she was at fighting (her cage fights were amazing), Colleen had my favorite arc in the show. She went from this kind of cynical but loving teacher to a part of the Hand to realizing that she might have been brainwashed and lied to her whole life. I loved her duel with Bakuto and that epic moment when he broke her sword and she used the broken piece like a throwing star to stab him. I was so so worried that she might die by the end of the season (thank you Daredevil S2 for scarring me) but luckily she survived and I really really hope she's in the Defenders when it comes out.

And of course I can't forget Claire! She slays every time she appears on these Marvel Netflix shows. I love that she's been learning how to fight so that she may become a hero on her own right and that Iron Fist had so many hints towards her relationship with Luke Cage. The only struggle with having her here and playing such a large role was that she kept dropping hints towards all these people that she knew and it leads you to wonder why she can't at least call Daredevil to come help cause he's had practice fighting The Hand even though logistically we know why.

I also had no problems with the fight scenes and actually enjoyed all of them a ton. Colleen's cage fight, the hallway fight with the Hatchet Men, the three-round trial challenge with the Hand, the fight against the drunk Hand member, Davos and Danny against Bakuto's Hand, Bakuto v Colleen and the final scene with Danny and Harold were all amazing. Part of this may be because I know very little about martial arts but to my untrained eyes, the fights looked great.

So as you can see from my long ass review of Iron Fist, I really enjoyed my viewing and unlike with Daredevil S1 and parts of Luke Cage, I was never bored and unlike with Jessica Jones, I didn't hate a character so much that I wanted her/him off the screen immediately (that dumb neighbor in Jessica Jones still makes me shudder). This show made me so excited for the Defenders and I cannot wait until it airs. I have so many questions about the Hand and I can't wait to see what happens!

I hope you enjoyed my thoughts on Iron Fist and I'll see you all soon for my review of Disney's Beauty and the Beast!

Arrow Season 5 Episode 17 Review

I'm not okay. I just want to grab Oliver and wrap him in a blanket and hug him until he feels better. My poor baby. I went into this episode not sure what we were going to get cause we saw so little in the promo last week and the episode started heavy on Russia with very little present day stuff which kinda annoyed me cause as much better as Russia is this season compared to what we got on the island last season, I wanted to see present day not Russia. And it was like Arrow heard me and was like oh you want present day, here's a heaping amount of pain for you.

First of all, what the fuck did Oliver do to Evelyn that convinces her that what Adrian is doing to him is okay? I felt bad for her for a second when she was brought into the cell and she was bruised and looked like she had been beaten by Adrian but then she was in on the plan the whole time? I can't even. I thought she might be redeemable at some point this season but now I just want her gone and I'm pissed beyond belief that she even had the Artemis handle this season at all cause Artemis was amazing and Evelyn is the worst and I can't believe Arrow let her tarnish Artemis's legacy like this.

Once again I want to give props to Josh cause he is killing it as Prometheus and I've never hated anyone more (other than Slade.) Speaking of, I've been seeing a lot of comparisons between Slade and Prometheus and discussions on who's more evil but tbh I think both are great villains in their own rights. Slade killed Moira and Adrian broke Oliver. Despite how horrid I feel for Oliver right now, I feel like this is going to end up making him even stronger and a better hero. After this, I do not think Oliver or the Green Arrow can kill ever again no matter what cause all Adrian did was show Oliver that the Green Arrow and Oliver Queen are the same person and what one does the other does as well. What I don't believe is the whole Oliver likes killing thing. I think Oliver has had such traumatic things happen to him and these things have forced him to kill and after 6 days of torture (both mental and physical), Oliver would have said anything to get out. If and when he tells John and Felicity about what Adrian said/did to him, I'm sure they'll say the exact same things.

Over in Russia, Anatoli was promoted to Pakhan and Oliver along with the Bratva was able to kill Kovar and stop him from overthrowing the Russian government. My favorite thing about Russia isn't the stuff with the Bratva war or Kovar but the relationship between Anatoli and Oliver which is why it breaks my heart that they're on the outs in present day. Despite this I feel like if and when Anatoli comes back, their relationship will be mended because their bond is so strong. I loved the final scene between them when Oliver got his Bratva Captain tattoo and Anatoli told Oliver that one day he wouldn't be able to separate the man and the monster and he was right.

One of my favorite things about this episode was the parallels the show drew between Russia and current day. The transitions were flawless and the themes were present throughout both. When Oliver's tattoo was burned off by Adrian and then we saw it being put on in Russia, there were tears.

Next week looks like the return of Anatoli which is exciting! I hope Oliver has a chance to take off his shirt or something so Anatoli can see the burnt remains. I also hope that Anatoli, Felicity and John find out what Oliver went through and try to help him cause I can't handle my poor baby Oliver walking around thinking he's a monster cause he's not. I really need them to wipe the smug look off of Adrian's face and it would be fun if Oliver works with the Bratva to take down Adrian, Evelyn, and Talia and her league like when Oliver worked with the League of Assassins to take down Slade and the Mirakuru soldiers.

My heart is still pounding from what I finished watching. I can't wait a whole week for the next episode!

I'll see you all Sunday for my Once Upon a Time review!

The Flash Season 3 Episode 17 Review

Guys I literally just finished this episode and I'm crying. Like literal tears down my face which is like a complete 180 from how much I was grinning throughout the rest of the episode. I cannot describe you the type of feels this episode gave me and how freaking much I loved it. I don't care that it was basically a filler episode and meant to be fun cause I loved it. After all the tension and brooding and darkness from the last couple of Flash episodes, we NEEDED this. People who skipped this episode based on it's silliness seriously missed out.

So I don't even know where to start... Let's go with the musical first. I freaking loved every single time anyone sang. I forgot how beautiful Melissa's voice was until she started with that first song and my heart literally melted when Jesse starting singing. I have such a soft spot for deep singing voices that I just can't not love them. The songs were all fun but the Super Friends song has to be my favorite cause I couldn't stop laughing during it. Melissa and Grant were having the time of their lives and you could see it! I loved the plot of the musical and how it was like West Side Story but also it was hilarious how the ending didn't even matter cause the musical wasn't the important part. I died when Barry and Kara rushed into the apartment and found Mon El and Iris making out. I also loved the twist that Music Meister wasn't a villain and just wanted to do some good unlike in other renditions of his character and I'm curious as to what he is in this world cause he mentioned that they wouldn't understand what he was so he's not a meta like he is in the comics or an alien or from one of the Earths in the multiverse. Maybe he's a interdimensional traveler like Mxy? Either way his exit was epic and totally dramatic. Also snaps to Darren Criss and his amazing singing voice too. While we're at it, let me just say everyone had amazing singing voices (except Chris and Candice who didn't sing cause I guess they don't know how but had these hilarious accents.)

Now let's go into the real world stuff before I talk couples. My poor baby Wally was a little gun-shy in the beginning of the episode cause of Savitar and the stuff that happened in the Speed Force but I think he might be past that now that he helped "capture" the Music Meister. Cisco and Caitlin's reactions to J'onn in his Martian form were funny and I loved Mon El's line about how there's more to J'onn than a pretty face. I did wish we got to see a bit more of his powers cause all he did was fly and punch Music Meister but it makes sense cause we didn't get much time in the real world.

The parallels between Westallen and Karamel was adorable and I was completely right in my review yesterday when I said that the artificial tension was made up specifically for this episode and I guess that's why both breakups were so awkwardly done and felt like they were both out of nowhere and completely overdone in drama. I'm glad we're past that in both shows. I do have to say despite loving the parallels between both couples, it did feel weird to compare the two cause on one hand we have Westallen this deeply explored relationship that spans three seasons and on the other we have Karamel who have only met this season. As a fan of Kara and Mon El, I do like the idea that if they're being compared to Iris and Barry who are clearly endgame, then that must mean that they will be endgame too or at least an important part of Supergirl?

Kara realized that she overreacted to Mon El's lie about being the prince and realized that he may not have told her the truth before because he feared that she'd overreact to the truth as she did based on how she reacted to him every other time he told her about something. Like I said, I'm glad we're past this dumb drama cause it was silly and just made Kara look like she was this judgemental stubborn person who refuses to ever see things from someone else's side. I still would like a real conversation between the two where Mon El tells her more about his life on Daxam.

Barry and Iris are literally just perfection and this episode made me love them again. I've been on the outs with their relationship recently because of how much Barry was irritating me and how I felt like he was treating Iris like garbage but guys I am such a girl and I MELT when a guy sings to a girl about his feelings so when Barry sang to Iris at the end of the episode and reproposed, I cried. Literal tears of joy were streaming down my face and I'm so glad that Iris got the proposal she deserves. Barry realized that sometimes you can't focus on the bad things and love will find a way!

Next week looks like more fun magic stuff with another villain from the future who knows Savitar's identity but won't admit the truth. Why does everyone know how to time travel? I'm still holding out hope for the idea that we'll unmask Savitar this season but not meet the person under the costume until next season and it turns out that that guy is really nice or whatever and the Star Labs crew hates him for obvious reasons which turns him evil.

Don't forget to check out my Arrow review tomorrow night!

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 16 Review

Tonight's Supergirl episode wasn't as great as I had hoped it would be. I was so excited to learn about Mon El and his life on Daxam but we barely got any information that we didn't already know and I hoping that this is because we'll see more in future episodes. Let's jump in shall we?

So like we all saw coming Mon El was the prince of Daxam (duh) and his parents came to get him back and Kara got mad at him for lying and the queen convinced Kara that she should convince Mon El to return with them and that was it. Seriously. That was it. We already guessed that Mon El was the prince so no surprise there and we already knew that Daxam wasn't the best planet so no surprise there. I was hoping that we would see more of Mon El's backstory and what kind of royalty his family was and why he told Kara that if he ever saw his father again that he would run. I wanted to learn about how the King and Queen escaped and why they think Daxamites are spread out across the universe. I do like that the way they found Mon El was because of the distress beacon he sent in the first episode. I really really really hope we get to understand more of their plans in the future cause I highly doubt that they're leaving or that their big plan is to reform Daxam.

I also didn't like the stuff with Mon El and Kara this week. I understand why Kara was angry with Mon El cause he did lie but I was not a fan of how despite saying otherwise she was so stubborn in her belief that she was right that she didn't even bother listening to Mon El about why he lied or trying to see it from his perspective. I should have expected this because when it comes to Mon El, Kara always jumps to conclusions and she has the emotional maturity of a high schooler. I also was not a fan of how when given the change to explain his reasons for lying, Mon El just talked about how she saw the good in him and how he loved her (which was cute but still). I'm hoping this is because we'll hear more in future episodes. From what I can gather, Mon El hid who he was because he was ashamed of who he used to be. I really hope we get more of his backstory and what his relationship with his parents were. Honestly Kara shouldn't be that pissed because she hid who she was from the world and if anyone understands, it should have been her.

The other storyline of this episode was with Lyra and Winn. I liked that we gave Lyra more of a backstory and more substance than just a hot alien girl but I don't know if I liked this storyline. Lyra was conning guys to steal paintings for this alien gang cause they were blackmailing her with her brother. I was glad that Lyra's feelings weren't fake and that she really did care for Winn and that she wasn't just using him. I was also glad that unlike Kara Winn was able to see Lyra's side of the story and forgave her. It was fun seeing the parallels between Winn and Lyra and Kara and Mon El.

The set up for the musical crossover with the Flash was short but got me pumped for the episode. Music Meister appeared and zonked out Kara and then used that dimension hopper thing Cisco made to go to Earth 1 to find Barry. I heard that in the crossover Kara and Barry are supposed to be learning lessons about something and that Iris and Mon El will be a couple in the music world so that's one of the reasons why I think they refused to let Kara listen to Mon El this week so that both Karamel and Westallen could go into the world broken up cause both couples had pretty lame break ups in their last episode before the crossover.

I didn't watch Supergirl live tonight so I wasn't able to see the promo for the next episode. But the musical crossover looks amazing and I can't wait for tomorrow night!

Don't forget to tune in for my Flash review!

Once Upon A Time Season 6 Episode 13 Review

There were parts of tonight that I liked and parts that I didn't particularly care for but despite that, I enjoyed this episode! This show might as well be called Once Upon a Terrible Life Decisions. Every time you think characters are taking a step forward, they take five steps back.

Let's start with my least favorite part of the episode which was the flashbacks to Rumple right after he got his Dark One powers. After 6 seasons we really don't need flashbacks about our main characters especially since we really didn't learn anything new. We already know that Baelfire didn't like Rumple's magic and that Rumple tried to suppress it for a little while but it didn't work and he embraced his dark magic. So did we really need another flashback of the same thing? What we did find out was that literally everyone is a dick and that Beowulf is an idiot. What was funny was that they recast Baelfire in these flashbacks. I guess the previous one was too old to play young Baelfire now. Also I guess we're supposed to think that poor baby Rumple turned evil cause Baelfire pushed him to it but that's so lame. In the past six seasons we learned that Rumple turned to evil because of his own decisions so it's lame that the show wants to retcon that. At least now we know why Neal was the worst. Young Baelfire wasn't any better.

Now onto another idiot aka Gideon and his big plan. The whole stealing Emma's powers thing does make a bit more sense but that's only cause of the magical sword cause of course it's magical. Sigh. Gideon's plan is still idiotic. He wants to be a hero but is too cowardly to do it on his own so he thinks the only way to do it is to steal Emma's light magic. Did he get anything from Belle? She would never have done something like this and I don't know why he thinks that she would be okay with what he's doing now. Why can't he just ask for Emma's help and work with her. That would make him a hero! Ugh I kept waiting for Rumple to go to Belle and be like help me with this but he's still keeping secrets cause if we've learned anything in the past six seasons Rumple it's that you should hide things from Belle when things between Belle and Rumple are getting better. At least he admitted the truth to Belle in the end. Baby steps Rumple. Their hug gave me life though. The way Belle looked at Rumple and the surprise in him when she hugged him and then the way he threw himself into the hug. Ugh why do you keep pulling me back in??

Speaking of romantic moments, Hook proposed to Emma and she said yes and it was completely adorable but also tainted with the fact that Hook is keeping secrets AGAIN. Jesus christ what is it with the men of this show refusing to tell the truth. I kept screaming at the tv for Hook to spit it out but he didn't and now we'll probably get several episodes in which he feels guilty and Emma is thrilled but confused as to why Hook isn't thrilled. Ugh. At least this show doesn't have problems with getting their couples married so it won't be like the CW shows in that regard.

Robin tried to escape Storybrooke tonight cause he feels too much pressure to live up to the expectations that Regina has of him based on the other Robin. I did feel for Robin this episode cause it makes sense why he wanted to run away and unlike the other characters he didn't try to kill/hurt anyone to get it done. Also I kind of love the idea of this Robin being the soulmate of the Evil Queen rather than Regina but not only is this kind of tainted with the whole EQ and Rumple thing in 6A but also I don't think it can work out in the show cause then there would be two Reginas running around if EQ turned good....

I am so sick and tired of the Regina show on Once Upon a Time so it's bad enough when it's just Regina but now that the EQ is back, we're going to have double the amount. Can we please for the love of everything kill the EQ or Regina next episode? Either one will do so we can move onto bigger and better things. PS Still no Aladdin or Jasmine...

Anyway, don't forget to tune in tomorrow for my Supergirl review! Bye for now!

Arrow Season 5 Episode 16 Review

I was actually pretty surprised with how much I enjoyed this episode because I didn't think I would have been interested in it after watching the promo last week. I love villains with well thought out plans much much more than simply strong villains and although Prometheus/Adrian's plan isn't that amazing, it's still pretty well thought out and that's what made this episode fun.

Let's start with Adrian cause he was the main point of this episode. First of all hats off to Josh for his amazing acting. He was able to take Adrian from someone we liked and made him super creepy! Now let's talk about his plan to make Oliver suffer. Honestly this storyline is basically Slade's storyline which I think I enjoyed more with Slade in season 2 but since there were two seasons in between these revenge seasons that weren't about revenge I think it works out okay. I liked how he kidnapped Susan to prevent Oliver from killing him, put Pike in a coma to prevent him from proving that he was Prometheus and then killed his own wife to prevent anyone from believing Susan's claims that he was Prometheus. Who else knew right away that Adrian was going to kill his wife as soon as she stepped into the room? I definitely did. It never ceases to amuse me how in shows a stab wound will kill you but falling off a roof will just wound you or give you bruises. That stab wound could not have bled Adrian's wife out but we'll go with it cause tv.

Talia is working with Adrian and I don't get the timeline. Supposedly Adrian started training with her in season 2 of Arrow but Oliver didn't get Ra's until the end of season 3 so Talia would have no reason to hate Oliver until season 4ish at which point Adrian would only have a year or so of training so unless Adrian spent season 2 and 3 planning and then trained for season 4, it doesn't make sense. This doesn't even take into account why Talia would be so pissed at Oliver for killing her father. She said herself that she was estranged from him and neither he or Nyssa mentioned Talia at all in the last few seasons so clearly they didn't care about her that much. I guess I could understand how maybe Talia loved her father more than Nyssa did and that despite it all, Talia was Ra's favorite and that's why she hates Oliver but I don't know. I need Nyssa to come back at some point this season cause we can't have Talia without Nyssa especially since we know Nyssa so well. Just one episode please Arrow. I'll take a ten minute cameo. Anything!!!

I really really need an explanation on what Adrian's big evil plan is. He keeps talking about making Oliver suffer but everyone Oliver cares about is alive and well (minus Felicity who I have a feeling will get arrested and sent to federal prison but they got Diggle out so who cares) and Oliver isn't really suffering that hard. Also could we take a moment and acknowledge how much it was idiotic that Adrian literally compared the loss of Susan to the loss of Moira, Tommy, Laurel and Shado? HE'S BARELY KNOWN SUSAN. I'd kill her multiple times for the return of any of the previously listed characters.

Felicity is all sorts of in with HELIX and I am still waiting for the reveal that either all of HELIX or just the girl that recruited her is working with Prometheus. That's literally the only thing that will save this storyline and/or redeem Adrian as the big bad. If Adrian knows about Shado (by the way how the hell does he know about Shado cause Oliver never talks about her and she was alive before Adrian cared about Oliver) then he has to know that despite everything Diggle and Felicity are Oliver's support and hurting them will kill Oliver. Speaking of, why did Adrian work so hard to save Diggle earlier in the season? Wouldn't Oliver suffer more if that evil general murdered Diggle? Anyway, I'm not sure where else this HELIX storyline will go cause I really don't see Felicity going bad. After last week maybe, but I'm not feeling it this week. I loved that whole scene between them when Oliver tells Felicity how much he's worried about her and she has to fight a smile cause aw he does still care. Also quick shout out to how freaking much I love the soft voice Oliver gets whenever he's talking to Felicity and only Felicity. I mentioned it a few episodes ago and I'm going to mention it again. #Olicity

I did love everyone's reactions to the reveal that Adrian was Prometheus and we got a bunch of awesome Oliver and Diggle moments cause you know how much I live for those. We also got a mention of Thea and Lyla and Diggle Jr who are constantly at Argus. I need more Argus in this show and tbh more of Lyla cause I love her. Also what in the world happened to Evelyn? She just straight up disappeared!

Next week looks like a bunch of Oliver torturing which is fun. Also Adrian needs to chill with the you touch everyone's lives bit cause like Dinah said we all touch each other's lives and that's what makes us human. Oh and Oliver's son that no one wanted to exist keeps being brought up. Do we really think something will come of this? I thought he was so underground that not even Oliver knew where he was? Also what secret is this that Adrian keeps shouting at Oliver to reveal? His biggest secret is that he's the Green Arrow and Adrian already knows that....

That's all for now!

The Flash Season 3 Episode 16 Review

Tonight's episode was a good one despite it being Barry centric. I loved seeing all those old faces and being in the speed force again even though it wasn't exactly what I expected...

Before we get into the episode can we take a moment to giggle about the opening of the Flash? I usually fast forward through it or ignore it but for some reason I was paying attention this week and I was sitting there like Barry sweetheart you are not the fastest man alive. Everyone with speed is faster than you. Reverse Flash, Zoom, Savitar and even Wally. Maybe he should say something like I'm faster than most or I'm one of the fastest men alive. And secondly I liked how Barry was like to the world I'm a forensic scientist and I'm sitting here like when was the last time you actually did something with your job. NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING cause I prefer the way the show is now to its procedural elements last season. It just makes me smile cause I know everyone was up in arms last week about Kara losing her job and I feel like I was one of the only ones to be like who cares cause it's not like you really do all that much reporting anyway.

So was the whole point of what the speedforce wanted to say to Barry really that he shouldn't have made Wally take the weight of saving Iris cause I didn't get that from the speeches. I kept waiting for the speedforce to smack Barry and be like one person's life isn't worth millions. He did the same thing with his mom and then his dad and now Iris. Barry gets tunnel vision when it's up to him and it's rough cause I miss the Barry from season 1 who enjoyed his powers which Wally took up this season but it looks like that's not going to be there anymore this season either.

Seeing Ronnie and Eddie and Leonard again was great. I missed all of them and I'm so sad that Ronnie's return was only in the speedforce and Caitlin didn't even care enough to ask what he was like or what he said. I guess she's way over him at this point..... I also wondered if Leonard was going to say something about the Legends but he only talked about Barry which I can't fault the show for cause this is the Flash starring Barry Allen. The return of Jay was great although how he appeared made me laugh. Cisco went to him cause he lost Barry's signature. I kind of love how it doesn't matter who lives on what Earth on this show. If they need help, they have a multitude of Earths to look to. It was sad though that Jay had to stay. Speaking of, I understand why it'd be painful to relive your worst moment over and over but also that's kind of lame but at the same time kinda a harsh punishment on Barry's part.

I liked the reveal that Savitar was a person under the suit and it really makes me wonder if we'll get an unmasking and find out that he was someone we knew. It would be totally fun if we found out who he was but Team Flash didn't and that person appeared next season or something. I do wonder what he meant by having plans involving Jessie Quick. She's unfortunately leaving but that makes sense and brings me back to the question why can't Iris go hang out on a different Earth until Savitar is caught or beat or whatever.

I saved the relationship stuff for last cause I don't even know what's happening with Barry and Iris. I totally understood why Iris took a step back after last week cause no one wants a pity proposal but then Barry turns around and is like we need to embrace the future so let's take a break. That makes no sense. Also he claims that he has to be the one to say Iris not Wally but the reason he turned to Wally in the first place was cause he couldn't run fast enough so how are things different now? It seems like the show didn't want Iris and Barry married and so let's throw in drama for drama's sake a la Olicity. How long until we start seeing comments about how Iris and Westallen ruined Flash?

Next week's episode is the musical crossover with Supergirl which means that it really has nothing to do with what's happening in the show right now which is fine cause Barry is the best version of himself when he's crossing over so that should be fun! I'm looking forward to the singing and the Glee crossover!

Tune in tomorrow for my Arrow review!

Once Upon A Time Season 6 Episode 12 Review

Tonight's episode was a lot better than last week's and that's probably largely due to the fact that I love Charming episodes with a side of Charming and Hook bromance so I was pumped for it. I was not disappointed.

So let's start with the hunt for Charming's dad's killer. Tbh who else knew that it would end up leading back to Hook somehow especially with the whole proposal thing and wanting Charming's blessing. I really did feel for Hook but tbh Snow and Regina are BFFs now and Regina murdered so many people that Snow loved so Hook should be fine if he apologizes and is sorry for it which he is. Everyone in the Enchanted Forest lived such incestous lives. Everyone knew each other and it will not make me snicker how the villains remember every face of every person they murdered in the past which is especially insane for Rumple and Hook who have lived for 200+ years.

Anyway the hunt for the killer was fun and my favorite scene all episode has to be the one where Hook and Charming are making a potion and they have no idea what the directions mean and I related so hard to that whole thing. Me anytime I'm doing homework tbh. I did like seeing George again and baby David/James was adorable. I don't know if they really should have shown the scene where Rumple took James cause it really makes Charming's parents look like horrible people and what really throws me about this show is how one good deed or the attempt of one good deed can replace a really bad deed or a multitude of bad deeds. Charming's father tried to get James back and because of that his drunkness and abandonment of James is totally fine.

Hook and Emma are still adorable and I can't wait until they're engaged which btw felt like it came out of the blue but once explained made a bit more sense. I loved Archie's reaction to the ring and Charming's slow approval to taunt Hook a bit was everything. I love them.

Robin and Regina however hit some bumpy waters. What even is the point of bringing back Robin if he's not going to be with Regina. Don't get me wrong, I freaking love Sean but it makes no sense to destroy his death scene if when he comes back he's a different person. Do we really think he's a bad guy or do we think it's the Black Fairy or someone else in disguise? We did get the reappearance of Zelena for like a second but it was nice to see her regardless.

Speaking of the Black Fairy, no present day Rumple, Belle or Gideon... Are we to assume they're on an uncomfortable picnic in which Gideon is making snarky comments to his father and sending loving gazes to his mother the whole time? That's my headcanon.

Next week looks like the return of angsty Gideon judging his father and Hook wrestling with his realization that he killed Charming's father. Can we take a quick pause next episode and get an explanation on why Gideon can't just ask Emma for her help to save the land where the Black Fairy rules? The Savior power can't just be passed from person to person!

Anyway, there's no Supergirl airing tomorrow so tune into my Flash review on Tuesday!

The Flash Season 3 Episode 15 Review

OMG THIS EPISODE KILLED ME! Barry continued to be a dick, the betrayer revealed himself/herself out of the blue and the fate worse than death made me gasp in both sadness and excitement! Let's jump in shall we??

So first up, Barry continued to be an ass this episode. Like I get it and everything that Barry loves Iris and the show has always made sure we understand that Barry would pick Iris over everyone but Barry needs to take a chill pill because he's starting to move from loving to obsessive and it's not cute. If I was Iris, I'd need space cause Barry is not thinking clearly. He yelled at Wally repeatedly for things that weren't in his control, lied to Iris about why he proposed, refused to let Julian say no about acting as a walkie talkie for Savitar and then stood there while Wally was sucked into the speedforce. I knew Iris and Barry weren't going to get married which is extra sad cause I love them and I thought the beginning of the episode where they told everyone was so sweet! I totally get where Iris was coming from and why she took the ring off by the end.

Let's talk about Julian and Caitlin and the prophecy. I really do feel for Julian and it was annoying how tunnel visioned Barry got so much so that he didn't even think about how terrible this must have been for Julian. I also thought it was ironic that they kept contacting Savitar through Julian because Barry didn't really know how Savitar got out in the future so what if they were messing with fate and somehow he got out through Julian. Like let's be more cautious people! Also this thing with Caitlin being the betrayer was so lame. We never once saw her act suspicious or run off to do things on her own so it felt like her stealing a piece of the Stone came out of nowhere. Ironically she also saved them for a while by doing so but no one thanked her. I didn't really get the ending where she apologized and Barry was like it's fine we were all scared cause she really wasn't to blame. I did feel for Julian when he was upset that maybe Caitlin invited him to the team just to use him. Also was it just me or was their kiss super awkward?

My poor baby Wally. He's been my favorite character on the show since he appeared cause he's my favorite speedster and blah blah blah if you've been following my Flash reviews so when he and Barry have a spat, I'm always on Wally's side. I thought Barry super overreacted at the whole Wally seeing Savitar thing. How would Wally have known that was really Savitar and not just a figment of his exhaustion? And let's be honest, Barry would have done the exact same thing. I was horrified when Wally was sucked into the speed force to take Savitar's place but at the same time, I was excited cause him getting stuck in the speed force is one of best parts of Wally's comic book storylines (as you all know cause I haven't been shy about saying it over and over.) Can we take a quick moment to ask ourselves why Barry just stood there as Wally was being sucked in instead of running to help? Does Barry literally only care about Iris? You know his ass would have never stopped running if she was being sucked in. I hope we get to see Wally learning things in the speed force cause that would be fun! His was the fate worse than death!

Next week looks like Barry will be entering the speed force to save Wally. I'm annoyed about this for several reasons. Firstly it looks like I was all excited for Ronnie's return for nothing cause he's only appearing to talk to Barry in a dream world and not going to be interacting with Caitlin at all. Secondly I wanted to see Wally in the speed force not Barry. I know this show is about Barry but why can't The Flash do something like Agents of SHIELD with Jemma and focus a whole episode on Wally or at least do a split storyline so we jump back and forth from Wally to the team. I feel like Barry won't be able to get Wally out cause we know that Wally isn't there to save Iris in the future so Wally must still be stuck when Iris is killed and plus if it's like Atlas and someone needs to take Wally's place, Barry isn't fast enough to do anything. Either way I'm excited to see what happens next week!

There's no Arrow this week so I'll see you Sunday for my Once Upon a Time review!

Once Upon A Time Season 6 Episode 11 Review

Sigh. Where do I begin? Once Upon a Time has gone from being a well-written show to whatever the writers feel like at the moment and although I still like watching it, I watch it thinking about how much better everything used to be and snark left and right kind of like how I watch Legends except Legends makes me smile while OUAT makes me roll my eyes. I'm saying all this at the top of the review cause I don't want you to go in thinking this is going to be a serious review when in fact it'll be me snarking and basically ripping apart everything that's happening. Don't say I didn't warn you! Let's get into it shall we?

I'll start with Emma and everything she went through tonight. Soooooo the show likes to do this thing were it pretends like everything bad a character did wasn't as terrible as it was and that not only should we forgive but we should totally forget it happened in the first place. Remember when August and his father conned the Charmings into sending just Emma on the guise that August would protect her only to have August run the first chance he got and not see her again until Neal and August decided to send a 16 year old girl to jail just cause? Yeah me either. Apparently Neal is a hero and August is the bestest friend that ever did friend. Sigh. On the other hand, Killian is apparently a fat old drunk when the Evil Queen's curse wasn't cast cause remember when Killian wanted to kill the Dark One for Milah's death and spent every waking moment trying to get stronger? Apparently that's not true either. Oh and when asked, Emma says that she lives with Killian not that they're true love or that she loves him. Whelp okay. And don't even get me started on that magic wardrobe in this Wish Realm which sent 3 people to Storybrooke even though we know it only holds two from before. And you wonder why I am sick of these writers?

On the Regina side, she ran off and left Emma to do her thing cause she wanted to hang out with Robin which I totally get cause I love Robin. Regina was all hurt when she realized that everyone in the Wish Realm was happier without her. Girl you need to get the fuck over yourself. You were a mass murder hurt about something a child did to you. Of course everyone was happier without you. She thirstily tries to get Robin to tell her if he's single and then doesn't understand for like thirty minutes why Robin was lying to her about being happy. Girl he just met you. He's not going to spill his life secrets to you. Despite all this and how much I dislike Regina and how she's basically become the main character of Once, I am happy that Robin is back cause I adore Outlaw Queen. But I want to know one thing, how are they planning on explaining to Roland and baby Robin that this Robin though he looks like their father isn't their father? Is this Robin just going to take over old Robin's life? We can only hope that Roland is conveniently written out of OUAT so this won't be a problem.

Let's see what's next. David and Killian run around town like chickens without their heads cause what oh what will they do without their women leading them? It's not like David and Killian are heroes on their own. Instead they make a sort-of plan and then do nothing about it. I do like that David is going to be the one to stay awake while Snow sleeps cause I love David and the more time we get with him, the better.

I guess we're up to Gideon who is basically Kylo Ren. How he remembers what Belle said to him when he was a few minutes old but Emma didn't remember Snow's first words to her, we'll never know. Why he hates Rumple but loves Belle even though he's never met them before, who knows? Why he thinks that the Savior's powers can be transferred like the Dark One's, don't expect an answer. Why he thinks the Black Fairy made him stronger but also knows she's evil and wants to save the realm from her, let's brush under the rug. The only good thing he did was turn the Evil Queen into a snake (hopefully for the rest of the season cause the amount that I don't want her around is enormous) and get Belle and Rumple to bond again over what makes a person do evil deeds. Also could we please for the love of everything stop using the excuse, he/she had a bad childhood as a motive for evil? Emma turned out fine despite it all.

Emma was badass when she beat him but I was so hoping this whole fated to die thing would be over after this but by Emma's words, that doesn't seem likely... I did laugh when she hugged Killian and made a comment about switching from rum to water after Robin talked about how spry young Killian was. I need my Robin, David, Killian dream team again.

Next week looks like we might be trying to break the sleeping curse. Yipee. Also the voiceover for the promo calls Killian and David an unlikely duo. How many seasons of working together will it take until the show realizes that Killian and David are bros and it's an expected duo? No Aladdin or Jasmine to be seen.

Tune in tomorrow for my Supergirl review!
