The Vampire Diaries 4x21 “She’s come undone” Review

I’m pretty sure we all knew that Stefan would never be able to stomach torturing Elena and at the beginning of the episode you could just see how bothered he was about the whole thing.  If I were to predict who would crack out of Damon and Stefan I’d definitely say Stefan, he talks a good game but we all know how he’s really taking it.

I thought for sure Caroline had some master plan when she went in to see Elena but I guess that backfired horribly.  

I was thinking why doesn’t Damon get into her head and make her think she’s being tortured, something like what Lexi did to Stefan when he went into ripper mode to bring him back, something like that may just work on Elena.

Rebekah needs to learn that Matt is almost the epitome of what we call a good guy so she can’t go around saying certain things to him without him seeing her as somewhat of an evil person.  

I distinctly remember when Stefan and Elena first broke up and I was discussing my views on how it all went down I was told by some members of The Vampire Diaries Jamaica as justification for their argument that Stefan was the one that broke up with Elena, well this episode was just more proof of my point that all Stefan did was voice what she couldn’t voice, he didn’t want to break up, she did, and humanity switched off Elena vocalized that point for us once again.  Julie Plec is just laying out the subtle hints as we go along.

I rather enjoy watching Damon torture Elena, he manages to make it very hilarious, not to mention I haven’t liked Elena for a while now so I feel a bit of satisfaction, I’m just waiting around for the human Elena to come back and when I say human I just mean how she was as a human, not physically transforming into a human.

It’s kind of funny how pumped Caroline was about studying and Rebekah is really transparent we can all tell she really likes Matt, her problem is she doesn’t know how to just “be” because at every angle she’s always double crossed so she has learned to not be such a nice person.

When Klaus appeared to Caroline in the back of my mind I was thinking it was Silas, in fact I have a confession to make, almost everybody that randomly appears in episodes in recent times I start out suspecting if they are Silas or not.  Turns out I was right about that.

I’m really interested to know what Bonnie has planned, I’m liking Bonnie like this a lot, she is standing on her own too feet now, isn’t just flailing around to everyone’s whim like before, I think this is the first time we’ve seen Bonnie’s plotting something by herself, she finally has the guts to do it.

Stefan’s idea to bring Catherine in to torture Elena seemed like a sound idea at it’s introduction, he’s right that Catherine would most definitely kill her but did he consider that Elena would just think that they wouldn’t allow Catherine to kill her.  But I waited for it to play out.

Silas really did a number on Caroline, she always seems to be the one to get tortured when somebody needs to be tortured to get information, well probably not every single time but it sure happens a lot, she’ll soon build up a strong threshold to all this.

I commend Stefan and Damon on fooling Elena that Damon killed Matt, pity they didn’t think of that idea sooner, it makes so much sense, how is Matt going to study now?

Good thing they didn’t kill off Caroline’s mother because I would see loads of issues with that, for one it wouldn’t be necessary to the plot, it probably would hurt it a bit because they would have to intorduce a new character to cover up all the supernatural activity, second it would be an unnecessary plot line to worry about when we still have Silas, Klaus, Bonnie and Elena’s new found need to kill Catherine asap to deal with.

I’m still anxious to see Silas’ messed up face clearly.  Also I’m wondering what exactly Bonnie is planning, I’m hoping that whatever it is it works out for the good of everyone.

I don’t think Elena’s plan to kill Catherine makes any sense right now, I mean she pops out of her humanity off situation and the first thing she wants to do is try to kill Catherine, can’t she wait until after the other issues are dealt with that are more pressing and Catherine isn’t the easiest person to kill I mean supernaturals way stronger and older than Elena have tried so I don’t know what she hopes to achieve.

I’m really interested to see what happens next week.  As we see Stefan did not leave Mystic Falls and I kinda figured he wouldn’t but let’s see how everything plays out.

Spartacus: War of the Damed Series Finale Review “Victory”

I must say coming into this episode I expected a bitter-sweet end, that is, I knew it would be epic but I also anticipated the death of spartacus because at it’s core this series has stayed true to the history of spartacus.  I must say though that I’m happy that spartacus would fall to someone like Crassus and not Glaber.

The beginning of the episode really shed light on the fact that spartacus’ movement has far surpassed the man himself, so it makes complete sense that they use his name to continue to place fear on the hearts of the romans.

I was also glad to see that Crassus didn’t allow his loss of Tiberius to cloud his judgement, he still is not underestimating Spartacus.

As suspected Gannicus does hold Sybil in his heart which is giving him even more incentive to want to help Spartacus but he still doesn’t seem to embrace that he is as much an integral part of the movement as spartacus is, will he live on to take the leadership roll after the final battle ensues and spartacus meets his demise?  Was a question I asked myself as I watched the episode.  If you’ve watched any of my previous vlogs you would have heard me mention that I think Sybil would be a good thing for Gannicus and in his own words he did say that she was sent to save him and not the other way around, to me that’s proof that she did make him want to become a better man.

Kore made a brave move surrendering herself to go back with Caesar to Crassus but I guess she knew that he wouldn’t kill her because of his love for her as farfetched as it seems though I do wish that he would forgive her.  Since the introduction of Crassus, Kore has been one of the things that make us see his softer side and part of what has made me appeal to his character, that and the fact that he never underestimated spartacus and also had himself trained by a gladiator, he doesn’t see gladiators like the other romans and that makes him admirable.  It was nice to see him preparing himself to face off with spartacus in battle, though if I’m to think about it, it’s almost not a fair fight because spartacus has been fighting all along and has amassed injuries, etc, while crassus has just been waiting for the final stand.

I was brought to tears when spartacus gave the parting speech, it was really touching to see the love the people have for spartacus.

Crassus bringing the fire balls to the battle was overkill in my opinion, I think he went from underestimating spartacus to overestimating spartacus, I guess an honourable battle went out the back door when tiberius died? Then when he sent the scout to summon spartacus I was thinking hmm Crassus has something up his sleeve now, because it made no sense to me that he was prepping himself to face off with spartacus when he brought those fire balls which could end spartacus before he even got to fight with him.  I must say the talk between crassus and spartacus was very exciting, we got to actually see the similsrities between both men up close and I bet they both saw that in another life they probably could have been friends, the handshake at the end just proves the twisted connection they now have.

I figured the truth about Kore and Tiberius would come out at some point I just didn’t envision it would be through spartacus but that was only because I didn’t forsee Crassus having a talk with him before battle, I too thought that Kore should have told him because even though his faith in tiberius was strengthened at the time I think he would have beleived Kore over tiberius, what he would have done about it I’m not sure but I don’t doubt he would have believed her, anyways this made for an exciting twist in the storyline, I thought maybe there was hope for forgiveness of kore afterall and that proved to be true.

Spartacus gazing at the map of thrace brought me back to season 1  when he had just gone into battle alongside Glaber and afterwards how they took him as a slave, those were the days, well at least before ensalvement.  But just thinking about how the show has evolved from those days and the days of the arena and batiatus, it has been an awesome ride.

Also it seemed Gannicus finally embraced the leadership position spartacus has been trying to get him to embrace all season. I waited to see what final plan spartacus had up his sleeve, if the promo was any indication I thought part of that plan would have him leaping off a ramp.

I feel like when Crassus gave his little speech to his men there was no heart in it, I think he doesn’t care about the so-called glory of rome, he just wants to  gain respect from rome by beating spartacus, I am not saying there’s anything wrong with his motives but  he’s definitely cloaking his ambitions with that speech.

When I saw the trap spartacus layed for the romans I couldn’t hold in my screams of excitement, then an archer top off, can’t expect any less from the bringer of rain am I right? and of course I knew it wouldn’t shock Crassus as much as it would other romans, it just made it that much more exciting, caesar was visibly shocked though which I found hilarious, you would think his time among them would have taught him that spartacus is no imbecile.

and as if the trench and archers wasn’t enough, our bringer of rain layed those ramps on top of the romans and lunged forth, that my friends proves my earlier prediction from the promo of that being part of the spartacus’ master plan, I didn’t envision all of what occured though, saying it was awesome is an understatement, now I did see crassus look slightly surprised when that started to happen.

Agron showed form with the weapon Nazir fashioned for him, I’m glad he got to stand on the field of battle.

Every time I thought the episode couldn’t get more exciting, another strategy from spartacus rears it’s head, when Gannicus and the men rode in behind crassus I couldn’t stifle my screams of excitement once again, I know all season I’ve been prediciting spartacus’ fall but all these magnificent ideas spartacus came up with made it harder ad harder for me to hold to my opinion, I felt myself clinging to the hope that he would win this battle.

Glad to see that at the end of the day Crassus still kept himself in check and didn’t panick, formidable foe indeed.

The salecian proved himself worthy in battle. RIP.

I bet Crassus never expected beat down off his horse by spartacus, but really he hasn’t underestimated spartacus’ strategy and intelligence all along so why did he underestimate his fighting abilities, I mean spartacus fought other gladiators too not just romans and won, so just because crassus has training as a gladiator means he can defeat spartacus so easily, I mean he’s never even been on the sands of the arena before, let’s face it he’s only fought one person/gladiator to the death.  It was somewhat disappointing to him allow the soldiers to wisk him away after spartacus gave him a flesh wound, what happened to all the confidence he had before and that need to fight spartacus?

I was excited but scared to see the inevitable showdown between gannicus and caeser and also spartacus and crassus because the looming threat of the series staying true to history has been present this whole season.

RIP saxa.

I prepared myself to see a lot of characters I love die in this finale.  As morbid as this sounds better they die than they leave us hanging with some uncertain future for these characters for all eternity.

RIP Naevia.

RIP other dude that I can’t recall your name but you’ve been around since beginning.

Even with the wounds that put spartacus at a disadvantage, I am 100% sure he would have won if the soldiers didn’t come to Crassus’ aid. I’m sure Crassus say his life before his eyes.

Gannicus and Caesar now, Caesar is a fassy, he’s a vag, he wouldn’t even show down with Gannicus by himself.  I must admit I did not see this end for Gannicus, I thought all along he would lead the rebellion in Spartacus’ stead.

I must admit, I know Crassus has his ways but I didn’t expect him to crucify Kore, I probably should have though, I mean he did sentence his own son to decimation for disobeying his command.

RIP Spartacus.

That was an epic finale to an epic series. I am going to miss it dearly.  

I love that they showed all past characters in the end credits and also including Andi Witfield.

The Walking Dead “Arrow on the Doorpost” Review

Summary of Points

When I saw the promos for this episode first thought that popped into my head is that as soon as Rick got into that room he should have given the governor a  head-shot, he is not to be trusted but then again judging from just the promo we don’t know how many people he has laying in wait and if they hear a shot they might kill Rick and the rest of the gang who came along.  I was also wondering why they brought Hershell along because if excrement decides to hit the fan he won’t be able to get out of there as fast as everyone else can nevertheless if they brought him along there must be a valid reason, at least I hope there’s one.  Those are the kind of  preconceived notions I had before watching the episode along with the things I said in my review for last week’s episode.

I was thinking since Rick was formerly a police officer and he’s been out on the road all this time that should equip him with the skill to deal with the governor, that is, be able to tell if he’s sincere or not and be able to draw his gun before him if push comes to shove though if we were to look at past experiences in terms of judge of character Rick has fallen short. But I went in hoping his police instincts serve him well in this episode.

Do you guys notice how confident Milton is when the Governor is a stones throw away? He is a well developed pawn, if the governor dies I’m quite sure he’d want to join Rick’s group.

I’m pretty annoyed that Andrea still seems to be lagging behind everybody in finding out that the Governor is not to be trusted, in fact he is a piece of crap, even when he blatantly disregards what she says it’s like she is choosing to be blind to it.  She took way too long to wake up, the man had to literally put it in her face that she had no say and still I’m wondering if it has come home to her that he is not who she seems to think he is. Though she claims she doesn’t want to go back there.

The heart to heart between Milton and Hershell was cool would have loved to hear some of the things Milton has written down in that book of his, that is, the things that we don’t  know about already.  Milton needs to be watched though he’s one of those silent but deadly people, he may not be physically deadly but he works behind the shadows to aid the Governor.

I don’t buy that the Governor only wants Michonne, I’m thinking even if he were to get her, she wouldn’t satiate his appetite for blood, it just doesn’t make sense that all he would want is Michonne, he basically shot up the whole prison when he could have just went there and said he wanted Michonne first then shot it up if they disagreed, but he took the approach of shooting up the prison first and he is acting like he didn’t kill anybody when he killed the inmate. And as we see Rick thought the same thing that it makes no sense.

I’m glad Glenn and Maggie have finally patched things up, I’m sure they realized there’s no time to waste being upset in this world.  But partaking in coitus on your watch? That’s a no no guys, recipe for disaster in my book.  I know I just said there’s no time to waste in this world but gosh darn it.

The minute the Governor said he would give Rick 2 days to make the decision I thought in my mind “I can bet this dude is going to try to kill them off before the 2 days have passed.”  Then we see at the end of the episode as soon as he got back to Woodbury he shed the good guy mask, I never thought we would actually see that play out so I guess I was pleasantly surprised by it, I was pretty sure Rick didn’t believe either him and we saw this was true from what he said when they got back to the prison, I guess Rick’s police instincts chipped in.  I though it was quite possible he told them that because he decided he couldn’t give over Michonne to him but I assumed Rick saw through the Governor’s crap which turned out to be true? I think. Not so sure of what his decision is on that front.

I find it kinda funny that Merle had the same solution I had when I saw the promo for this episode, in that he thought Rick should have just killed the governor and as we see there wasn’t much people there so he could have done it and I’m pretty sure the people in Woodbury wouldn’t even want to chance going to war if the Governor is dead.

I’m not sure how Andrea is going to get herself out of Woodbury but playing the ignorant card right now is the best thing for her, although she annoys the crap out of me I don’t want to see her die, I guess because she’s one of our core people from the beginning.

I know I said Milton is just a pawn but maybe he does have some kind of heart I mean we’ve seen hints of it now and then and this episode is one of those occasions, I don’t think he agreed with the Governor’s plan, both Andrea and Milton seem to have been hypnotized by this man and think he is a way better man than he actually is.  Who knows maybe Andrea, Milton and his head of security dude will aid somehow in helping Rick and his group defeat the Governor, they seem to be the only one sympathetic to their case, well at least Andrea and Milton but I’m not exactly sure about his security guy.

Spartacus: War of The Damned “Spoils of War” Review

Summary of Points

I know Crassus felt well hype when he walked into Sinuessa and rightly so his plan was perfectly executed.

How I love a good battle scene and the fact that this episode basically began with one was very entertaining, when Gannicus decided to stay back and provide a “distraction” I wasn’t exactly happy about that as I’m sure most people also feel, of course we don’t want him to die and this situation seems grim.  The fact that we have 4 more episodes left makes it even more scary that any of our lead characters could die along the way.

I actually preferred Caesar when he looked like a so-called “rabid dog”, you guys agree?  

It’s only a matter of time before Crassus finds out about Tiberius’  indiscretions.

I wonder what Caesar’s wife looks like for him to want to cheat on her with every pretty woman he lays eyes on. The man’s stare betrays him.

Well we knew that the Saletians made a deal with the romans since the last episode, but the extent of it wasn’t known, I swear them pirates seemed to have made the same deal with both Spartacus and Crassus and decided to fully honour the one that gave the most coin, the Edial’s wife is like a cat with nine lives, every time you think this woman is going to meet her end or some horrid fate, she somehow gets out of it.

I was pleasantly entertained when Caesar fought the gladiator (his name escapes me), Tiberius was quite cunning in setting that up but I knew the night couldn’t pass without him trying to inflict some sort of blow on Caesar, he really hates the man.  Caesar kinda looked like an imbecile when the gladiator took his own life before he could kill him and Crassus’ little speech after didn’t make it any better, at least not in my opinion.

I thought Gannicus was going to be done for in this episode since the beginning when he said he would stay back though I hoped not, when he was walking by and Caesar came around the corner at that exact moment, I was like “What are the odds?” But Gannicus is a hard man to kill just like Spartacus, so my hope wasn’t for nothing. Was satisfying that Gannicus kinda taught Caesar a lesson, I think Caesar is a bit too cocky about his skills, they are good but against people like Gannicus they are no match, especially if it was a fair fight.

We must all give Crassus rating where it is due, the man set up his plan perfectly, so now Spartacus and his hoarde are stuck at the  northern  gate, I’d want to hope that they get out of this but this is the final season and we know according to history, Spartacus falls, so hope right now would probably be wishful thinking.

I literally can’t wait till the next episode airs, as we get closer and closer to the finale everything is heating up.

The Bible Series “The Beginning” & “Exodus” Review

Summary of Points

Being a christian and someone who’s on a biblical journey, I was really happy to hear that they were going do a tv series adaption of the bible, in fact I’d always thought it would be a cool idea and finally someone decided to take that project on, I commend history channel and all the persons who worked on and will continue to work on this project. 

So I was a bit bummed that the series didn’t start from the actual beginning of the bible, as in, from the point where God said let there be light, and the creation of Adam and Eve, but it would be an even more momentous project for them to portray every single chapter with every technical detail, starting from Noah’s Ark was not a bad starting point though, technically they did explore it through Noah but I had imagined it a different way.  It’s still valid how they did it though.  I take back what I said, the way they did it was ingenious because it’s perfectly valid that Noah would have told the story of the beginning to his family while in the Ark.

Seeing them portray the faith Abraham had in the Lord brought me to tears, to think his wife was Sarah was barren and the Lord told him that he would father a great nation and he had enough faith to get up with his whole family and leave their comfortable lands on the promise of God, that’s the kind of faith I want to have.

They took us from the beginning to the exodus in the first two episodes and it was an awesome ride to say the least, I enjoyed, it very much, they were some details we didn’t get to see but I don’t think they could have shown everything in the time slot and for those who don’t know what those details are I urge you to pick up the good book and take a gander at the pages.  There were so many thrilling scenes but my favourites would have to be when Sarah gave birth to Isaac, when Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed, when God sent the plagues on egypt and when God gave moses the power to part the water so the  Israelites  could cross.  Aside from that the actors really did a great job of portraying each of their parts. 

I can’t wait till the next episode. I definitely recommend this series.

Enlightened “Agent of Change” Review

Summary of Points

So christa finally had her baby, looks like she didn’t tell anyone about what Amy told her.

I just knew Tyler would fold I knew it, this whole time I was hoping he wouldn’t but it was just a matter of time.  I can’t help but call him a real imbecile right now, I mean what did he think telling Eileen would solve? All it would do is make her pissed at him and he would still lose his job, if he had just stuck it out the story would run and she probably wouldn’t have found out the leak was from him and maybe way down in the future he could have told her.

The scene between Amy and Ziden was pretty of the chain, she really handled herself in there and all his crap just came bubbling to the surface when he realized he was going down.

Even though all of this is Tyler’s fault, I do hope that Eileen forgives him, though I’m somewhat disappointed that she is backing somebody as corrupt as Ziden, I get she is trying to keep her job but if she was knowingly aiding him that’s just not right and it  seriously  makes me wonder what kind of person she is.

I’m not sure what to think abotu Jeff and Amy, I know he told Amy they need to take a break till after the story but I’m wondering if he really wants to be with Amy and also I know Amy still might have residual feelings for Levi but I don’t really think he’s right for her anymore, I could be wrong but that’s what I think right now.

Amy probably shouldn’t have been so quick to confront Christa, especially since she just went into labour, she probably should have left it alone.  I understand why she would think it’s Christa but she shouldn’t  have went to the hospital like that, things like that is what make her look crazy.

This was a good episode, I do hope they really do take down Abeddon and I do hope everything works out for Amy.  After watching the last scene it seems like everything will work out awesomely because as we see the story did run and Eileen went back to Tyler, I hope this show gets renewed for another season, it’s been an awesome 2 seasons so far, so season 3 would be greatly welcomed.

The Walking Dead “Clear” Review

Summary of Points

I have no idea why I found the starting scene funny, but I did.  I know it’s showing just how the walker world has affected everyone, well at least the people who have been on the road, I actually don’t blame them for not stopping because you really don’t know who you can trust. It’s just kinda hilarious how they didn’t even discuss it even after the guy basically appeared again begging.

When I saw them come across those arrows on the side walk, the burnt up walkers and the pedestrian crossing that read ”Turn around and live” I was like this is going to be trouble, most likely another psychopath birthed from the recesses of this walker world or something.. So turns out I was half-right? I mean I was imagining a group lead by a psychopath but it turned out to just be a psychopath who got shot by Carl, who’s not really a psychopath but Rick’s friend? I dunno.  I’m going to give Carl some props, props to Carl.  It was still hilarious though that Carl just took him down so easily.It’s so weird that before I started to watch the episode I was thinking about Morgan and wondering if he was still alive and all that, then the “psychopath” turns out to be him.  It’s a bummer that his son died but I think it was wishful thinking to ever think he would have survived, Carl & Laurie being alive made sense because they had Shane and the group to protect them.

I get that Michonne would think he’s a psychopath, I mean at first glance I did too and finding out about his son dying would make it seem like he had a psychotic break but honestly the setup that he has going on there isn’t that expected? How else do they expect him to protect himself from walkers and unscrupulous people?  I mean they drove away leaving that guy on the side of the road and not to mention they sent out anybody who came to the prison at gunpoint, so what Morgan was doing wasn’t that crazy in my opinion.

Michonne is hilarious, of course nothing is wrong with sitting back and relaxing in the man’s house and eating his food, nothing at all is wrong because the mat did say “Welcome”.

I felt sorry for the rats that Morgan was using to bait the walkers, they were so helpless in the cages. It was pitiful.

I don’t think I can say enough how epic Michonne is, woman got that walker in the cafe good, utter precision.  But she’s always precise with her blade anyway, I mean right?

I couldn’t help but feel bad for that guy they left on the side of the road but what I’m wondering is where the heck he was coming from and how did he survive before, because how is it that at this late stage he’s walking the road and what make it worse he’s making all this noise when everybody knows the walkers are attracted to noise.  Then what shows us even more how bad it’s gotten is how they turned back and took up the dead man’s gear, now I would do the same in this diseased world but just the symbolism of it all.  I’m disappointed in myself that I found that slightly hilarious, but I guess the actors do such a great job of playing their parts and selling the story that you feel like you’re a part of the world and in some way are experiencing the same things they are experiencing so it’s like you are also desensitized to the death and your need for survival surpasses your compassion and emotions.

Spartacus: War of The Damned “Blood Brothers” Review

Summary of Points

Agron needs to chill I highly doubt the little man is cheating on him..

I still don’t trust the pirates though it’s like they always have to change up whatever deal they make ever so slightly instead of just sticking to the initial plan..

Yes I knew that Crassus admired spartacus and for good reason because he know spartacus isn’t an imbecile, if I’d want anyone to defeat Spartacus, which I DON’T, but if I wanted that Crassus would be the best person to defeat him, I rate Crassus so much, plus Crassus and Spartacus backgrounds are somewhat similar so I can see where Crassus would admire him..

I swear Crixus is looking like a real imbecile, not to mention Naevia, but she’s been looking like one for a while now, I actually wanted to laugh when I saw his reaction to what Caesar/Lisiscus said about Spartacus getting ready to depart with the Saletians..actually Naevia is pissing me off like Nora is pissing me off in Being Human US, they are so similar it’s not funny..Crixus is blindly listening to Caesar/Lisiscus and he don’t even know him, how quickly he turned his back on Spartacus, this is all Naevia’s doing..

So Spartacus is still trying to convince Gannicus to take a leadership role, I think even though he says he doesn’t want it if Spartacus does fall he would definitely take up the position, if not for Spartacus, he’d do it for the memory of Oenomaus..

Spartacus made a good move taking the grain for Crassus’ soldiers but I didn’t expect any less, also his elaborate rouse that involved taking advantage of Crixus’ somewhat lower level intellect was perfect, Crixus took the bait so easily, this plan sounds like it will definitely work, I’m wondering though if they are going to stay true to the history or not..

I love how Crassus is the only one not underestimating Spartacus and rightly so, gosh darn it I rate this man, and just as I was about to say I feel totally sorry for Tiberius and say how I think Crassus went too far, then Tiberius proceeds to rape his father’s mistress..

So Naevia finally decided to own up to her rubbish and I’m glad Gannicus stuck it to her, because she needed to hear that because she learned some skill in fighting now she’s abusing it and is feeling way too empowered for her own good, she needs to sit back and take a chill pill.

My gosh, Crassus is extremely smart I mean I did not expect that at all, I knew he had some plan but I honestly didn’t expect that ending I mean wow, but I guess I was right about the pirates not being trustworthy…when Crixus flew down to aid Spartacus I was like Yessss and it was all so thrilling, I love the battle scenes in Spartacus and let me tell you I’m not the biggest action fan but Spartacus does it for me..

That final scene when the door was smashed down with fire and the wooden wolf, I was so ecstatic but at the same time freaked out for Spartacus and the others, I have no idea how they are going to get out of all of this but I think it’s a bit early in the season for them to lose, I literally cannot wait till next week, this has been the best episode for the season, I don’t even think I have to mention Caesar, the man is like a cockroach…he showed form against Gannicus and Agron…

Being Human US “One is Silver and The Other Pagan” Review

Summary of Points

I couldn’t help thinking that Sally is a mondo imbecile of a woman for signing away her soul to that witch woman but I can see why she thought she had to make that decision and from now I’m hoping that when the time comes and she dies that there will be some way out of what that witch is planning to do with Sally’s soul which I believe is grind it to dust, I’m still trying to figure out why she is doing that.

That Erin girl is really a backstabber though, Aidan was nothing but nice to her and she plots with that werewold dude to kill him? She’s a piece of work.

I really dislike Nora, I used to like her a long time ago before she went off and left Josh that time but ever since then I just don’t trust her judgement at all and then now just because Aidan is a vampire she never gives him the benefit of the doubt, does she  realize  before she came into the picture both Aidan and Josh were fine and then she comes now trying to own the place and trying to turn Josh against Aidan, she needs to take a serious chill pill and have a seat, she needs to come off her wolfy high horse for just one minute.  So now she assumes that Aidan must have just hit Erin out of nowhere, I can see where she would wonder how Erin could end up in that situation but to assume Aidan did it is just horse crap especially because if Aidan did it why would he stick around and he had blood from the bubble boy so why would he need to trick Erin’s blood especially since he knows it’s toxic. The fact that Nora never considered for a second that Erin did something wrong even though Erin is like a perpetual bad egg confounds me.

Nora crossed the line when she asked Josh to choose between her and Aidan, I seriously don’t think I can go through an episode without wanting to smack this woman, she goes on like she’s so good, like she never killed anybody or hurt anybody when it comes to Aidan, if she kills somebody it’s justified but if Aidan does it can’t be self defense. She is so infuriating.

Something tells me this new vampire chick might meet her maker soon, though I almost hope she doesn’t because she’s the first Vampire I’ve seen in a while aside from Aidan.

So Sally’s friend’s wicca group I’m thinking may be a way to help her with finding out what that other witch might want with her soul after she’s dead and may be able to help her I’m hoping, I should stop calling the other woman a witch because she did say she wasn’t a witch so I’m going to call her a necromancer (but isn’t a necromancer still a type of witch?) doesn’t matter anyways we’ll find out in die time what she is. I just hoped Sally meeting the wicca group wouldn’t turn into something bad, too bad it didn’t seem to really help Sally much.

It would be awesome if Aidan hooked up with Nora’s friend but I know that wouldn’t fly with Nora, with her high horse. Did I mention how much she irritates me? She is so  judgmental and she has no right to be. I’m glad Aidan asked her out anyways, because Nora needs to just go take a pre-assigned seat.

What I don’t get is why Aidan is so bad at compulsion.

That werewold dude needs to die a horrible death, he is so hopped up on killing all the vampires that he killed one of his own kind, he is a big hypocrite, all day long he talks about the pack and all of that and he goes and kills one of his own just to kill one vampire who isn’t even detrimental to him or werewolves at all.

So apparently Sally is a Zombie now, that is so not cool, I feel for her, I can’t wait to see what occurs next week, I was dreading that something  like  this would happen because that necromancer woman just doesn’t seem trustworthy at all.
