Teen Wolf 3x06

What an awful episode.

It felt like more filler despite the very minor progressions in the plot, like the previous episode.

I probably wouldn't have hated this episode so much if it wasn't for the terrible scenes between Derek and the teacher, whose name I can't remember yet again. Yes, there's Derek, his stomach ripped open and blood oozing out. He can barely stand, let along walk and yet he's going to have sex. How about no.

There's Derek with all his trust issues and yet he seems way too accepting of this woman, who is a virtual stranger. And his wounds, somehow, magically heal. Can we not. This is something I'd expect out of a fanfiction, written by a fangirl, who fantasises about Derek and awkwardly masturbates over said fantasies.

I'm not even joking when I say I was so close to throwing up during their scenes. Everything felt so, so forced. I'm not a Sterek shipper. I don't ship Derek with anyone because let's face it, he's not ready for a relationship. But God, Sterek makes x9653456898 more sense than whatever this is!

It's awful. It needs to stop,

We got the odd glimpse of Isaac here and there but nowhere near enough for me to overlook the previously mentioned episode-ruining scenes. Boyd's appearances here and there felt kinda random. I'm also not entirely sure about the relevance of Scott walking in on Allison showering... His hallucination about his mom and Deucalion made sense but I don't get the shower scene other than showing him acting "weirdly".

There was something kinda cute about the scene between Ethan and Danny where they talk about his scars. When asked if he could get rid of them, Danny says he wouldn't because they make him feel like a survivor and Ethan responds with "I really hope you are". I'm feeling a little bit of foreshadowing there but that aside... I felt like it said a lot about Danny's character and I also felt it was an interesting contrast to Jackson's character.

Finally, the scene with suicidal Scott was pretty decent. There's something about him and Stiles having a moment and Stiles ultimately being the one to bring Scott to his senses rather than us having to endure a super cliche Scott/Allison scene.

Yeah, this episode sucked. As bad as episode 1 though? I'm not sure.

Teen Wolf 3x05

A pretty mediocre episode, in my opinion. The season premiere was still miles worse (I don't think anything could be worse than that).

Am I the only one who thinks that the writing for this show is, on a whole, pretty weak? Like, there's some good humour every now and then but some of the lines are so cliche and corny or sound forced (not in terms of the actor's delivery but more the way it's phrased). Like, the amount of emphasis placed on Derek being "dead". It was so forced and in your face - no one was going to believe he'd have an off-screen death in the middle of the season to begin with. There's no need to constantly be like "omg derek might be dead pls no" and then have that "surprising" ending where he is clinging on to life and happens to reach that same teacher (because that's not weird and random and creepy at all) because it's crap and cheesy and lame.

EDIT: While we're talking about things being forced and Derek... This whole thing with the teacher? She'll probably die by the end of the season but ugh, can we stop with the cliches.

Also, I don't get why Ethan told Danny the reason behind him constantly checking his phone when he was so blatantly aware that it was Stiles pestering Danny to find out. Unless he didn't mind them knowing but if I were in his position, I'd much rather keep them wondering...

I will say though, having the flashbacks was a good idea to condense everything into a single episode and get things moving a little quicker. That being said, I still don't think things have progressed enough? There was a bit too much of the whole "thinking back and reflecting" going on.

This basically felt like filler for the most part but eh, it could have been worse. More Isaac obviously earns you brownie points from me...

Teen Wolf 3x04

A bit of a slow episode this week, in my opinion. Still pretty good. So much Isaac though, I can't really complain.

Derek throwing that glass at him just made me think of when his dad did the same thing. :(

Danny telling Stiles he can have sex with him and cuddle is the greatest thing I've seen on this show in ages. luv u danny pls never change

What's happening with Boyd? Is he like an omega or something?

All in all, this season's shaping up to be better than I expected. :D

Episode 1 was so shit, I'm actually really surprised at how much better Teen Wolf is getting this season! Episode 3 was great.

THE ISAAC/ALLISON EYE SEX IS TOO MUCH AND I DONT EVEN REALLY SHIP IT BUT I MIGHT??

and then there's scott and isaac too

basically everyone wants to bone isaac

cant blame them tbh.

also derek with erica's body. hold me pls

and then boyd and cora

and heather and stiles

this is all too much

BASICALLY. This season is actually going pretty good. Though the whole sacrificing virgins thing sounds kinda cliche... But eh, I can deal with it. :P

next episode pls

Teen Wolf was much better this week.

That being said, Stiles nearly getting laid and Isaac's general existence were probably the highlights...

welp

Still, looking forward to the next episode more than I was last week.

Also, Teen Wolf...

I am highly appreciative of Daniel Sharman's face and general existence.

So that definitely helped score points with me in the season premiere.

However, the episode itself was a bit shit.

They do green screen work and cgi so badly on this show and what the fuck was that shattering glass?

I don't know. It just didn't really do it for me. I'll keep watching though, I guess.

Finished 'Code Geass' last night!

I'd never cried so much at any show as I did during those last 5-10 minutes of the final episode.

The ending was "satisfying". Good call, whoever assured me of that (sorry, I don't remember who it was!). But so was Anon who said everything ends in "blood and tears".

---THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD---

Well. I've finished the first season of Code Geass.

About to start season 2 now.

I don't know how I'm going to get through this. Season 1 has already managed to tear my soul, throw it in a blender and burn it.

I just want Suzaku to be okay, okay? And Lelouch. And Nunnally. And everyone.

IS A HAPPY ENDING FOR EVERYONE REALLY SO MUCH TO ASK FOR.

I started Code Geass today!

Despite still being behind on One Piece and Fairy Tail… I regret nothing. I watched a little over half of the first season today and I can’t get over how amazing this anime is. I can definitely understand all of the Death Note comparisons but I feel like the Geass itself aside, it feels a lot more real than Death Note with the whole issue of racial discrimination, human rights, equality between upper and lower classes etc. I’ve yet to figure out Lelouch properly but Light came across as far more radical in his approach to ascend to the status of God. But there are, of course, numerous similarities. But I think I kinda prefer Code Geass so far. It helps that it has a LOT more action! I adore Suzaku though. He’s so adorable, awh. Funnily enough he seems like such a pacifist, I wonder a little how exactly he thinks he can change Britannia as a soldier. I ship him with Euphie so hard right now though. :3 Speaking of shipping… Shirley and Lelouch… WHAT DO I DO NOW. Though I ship him with Kallen a little too but after ~that episode~ more with Shirley so… Anyway! Lloyd also seems pretty interesting… Idk why I’m so keen on the “mad scientist” types, haha. Oh and I can't wait to see what happens with that Britannian military (or whatever) woman Ougi found! Um yeah, I love it so far! Genuinely have no idea what’s going to happen next because there are so many sides involved in this fight, ahhhhh. I really hope Mae shows up again though. A mere 2 episodes just feels like a waste…

"he is a hero trapped in a villain's body or a villain trapped in a hero's body"

Sounds accurate enough.

but can i just say,

labels are irrelevant.

Who actually cares if he's labelled a "hero" or a "villain"?

Should that really influence someone's opinion on a fictional character? It really doesn't matter.

Just stop arguing and let people like who they like, ship whoever they want and have whatever opinion they want. The last thing I want to see in the "captain hook" tag is people arguing! You can make these same arguments for all the so-called "villains" (Hi Rumple, Regina...), except maybe Cora but again, it's a matter of opinion.

So I don't get why people are SO much more assertive with the whole "Hook is evil" thing. Seriously, do you even watch this show? Did you watch season 1?

moar gifsets pls *_____*

;)

Might be sick because Merlin. ugh. the feelings

CAN I JUST SAY

I was not pleased to see Old Man Merlin because... why does he need to be old, firstly? seriously. and i feel like it's cheating a bit~

also the whole actual reveal will be crammed into one episode -_____-

and i have so many mordred feelings

"I AM A SORCERER. I HAVE MAGIC" THO

I just watched this week's episode of Merlin. I don't even have words for what it's put me through. What really bugged me was Arthur at the end though. He's all confused and shit and it's like, uhh, he's closer to Kara than he is to you. You mean fuck all comparatively. You killed his girlfriend. Do you expect him to be okay with that? If it was Gwen in that situation, he'd do the same thing. And that brings us to Merlin. He's changed, man. I'm not sure I like who he's become. Nice one for driving Mordred away. Though that can be attributed considerably to Arthur too. THE LOOK IN THE CELL BETWEEN LEON AND MORDRED THOUGH ;____; Then there's Kara. She was silly for attacking Arthur. That was unnecessary. However, I get why she wouldn't 'repent' and I respect her honesty even if her anger was slightly misplaced. I kinda wish for Mordred's sake she had just given in. And I wish we could have seen more of her. Just. Ugh. This episode was horrible. Fuck's sake, Arthur. You're the King. Your word is law. WAKE UP.

Oh. I saw Breaking Dawn Part 2 the other day. I haven't even seen Part 1 and Eclipse, ahaa.

peer pressure is a powerful thing

It was better than the book.

Not as bad as I expected.

Still dumb and some major plotholes and "how are you so dumb" moments.

Like.

WHY GET A NEW FREAKING HOUSE

IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON MOVING AWAY

anyway, Demitri (I think?) and Garrett were hot. Jasper is cute. They helped me get through it.

The plot twist was a big improvement but at the same time, the ending consequently felt anti-climatic? It was like, they had that all go down to give that big fighting scene but the writers were too scared for the repercussions of that fight to actually come to...exist.

yea

there was a grand total of 6 people in the cinema

which meant we ended up making many snarky comments throughout the movie hahahahahaha

We got a filler episode this week. Here's what I thought:

Overall, for a filler episode, it was alright and it gave Arthur some maturity as a King etc. and the chance to come to terms with what his father was like, which should hopefully help him with the whole "magic" thing in the future.

Where do I even start with this episode?!

As you know, I started a new school this academic year. It doesn't have a particularly good reputation, which can be attributed to the local area, which has a high crime rate. I used to go to a selective, girl's grammar school. This is a mixed, comprehensive school so it's very different.

There was a school inspection a few weeks ago. The report was entirely really positive about everything. Now the local area is primarily Asian and black. 90% of students' first language is not English yet they're doing well enough on a whole.

So this comment about multiculturalism is really annoying. The only problem I can see is people like this guy trying to make it sound as though there's a problem here. Believe it or not, English doesn't have to be your first language for you to speak well. I was fluent in my mother tongue at a really young age, like, three or four years old but there was no problem with my English either. I was more competent than most kids my age.

There are no problems with integration or anything there either. :| It's not like the two white kids in my year group are social outcasts...

So just sssshhhh...

Soooo, I have my laptop back so here's a quick review of Merlin 5x01.
