Bates Motel 2.05 The Escape Artist
Cody is a really good friend. I can't believe she stayed behind to make sure Norman was well. They're both lucky in a sense Cody found him and made sure to wait long enough for him to wake up from his blackout. Cody is lucky Norman didn't turn on her, which would have been a slip up. Norman tried to kill Dylan a couple episodes back, and Dylan watches over him the best.
Aww Emma has a pot dealing boyfriend! It was going to happen with Gunner since Norman is unstable. I don't know what's with the rebellion but I did want to see a bigger Emma story come to surface!
Not sure if Romero will also get a bigger story line (not liking Nick or his marijuana business, staying close to Norma at the motel etc.) but he should get more screen time. I want to know his back story.
Dylan, tell me WHY do you think you are invincible?! Luckily, he made it to the hospital after that display of heroism and stupidity. Who stands in front of a charging car shooting bullets straight at two armed men? I'm surprised since that would probably be something he'd do for Remo. I wonder if cutting out Remo will put a distance between the two in the business. Now Dylan is in a good word with the actual boss!

Being Human 4.12, The Following 2.11
Being Human 4.12 House Hunting
I'm scared for the series finale next week!! I appreciate how this episode tied in with how the BBC UK version of Being Human ended up with their final season. They had Satan following the around and putting them in alternate realities. They all knew it was fake and could live off peacefully as humanly possible. The downfall was, they knew it wasn't "home" without each other. In tonight's episode, they all got one-on-one spotlights with people from their past. They were quick because they had to fit in Nora and Josh's sister, but still all had the same concept. Romona wanted them all to end their lives to be trapped in the house permanently.
Kenny storming back into the house to kill Aidan was such a powerful scene. It takes me back to when Aidan had Bishop haunting him earlier in the series. Bishop warns Aidan along the lines of, "He will kill you, the son always kills his father," with regards to how Aidan killed Bishop. BUT, there is an exception to this rule since Aidan has outlived three of his sons (little Isaac, Henry and Kenny). He broke the cycle and is the survivor going against the son kills father theory.
From the start, Romona was BATSHIT! She wanted to keep them all to herself so she wouldn't be alone. Her soul is distraught and unwell because of her death circumstances. Still though, she killed her sister Beatrice! She was also able to manipulate Kenny's final words to Aidan (still can't believe that ending). Aidan now thinks Sally is dead and can't see her in the background by the staircase. I also don't think Aidan kills Josh in that final scene. I think Josh's wolf comes out and stops him. SO MANY THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS!
The Following 2.11 Freedom
Ryan Hardy can't catch a break. I was wondering where his niece was the entire time (I miss her already).
A hospital break in is pretty intense, these people are insane. I think they're worst than the Corbin cult because these folks are ready to die on the spot.
Looks like Lily is trying to be a real baddy and take attention away from Joe with staging her own followers. They act out like this and succeeded. I'm surprised, I thought their plan would fall through to get Luke out of the hospital. Now that Luke escaped to join his twin brother and deranged mother, they'll probably set up next week's episode well.
I didn't think they'd reintroduce Claire to Ryan so soon. The look on his face is so distraught. He's finally moved on and is trying at a better life while still doing his job. At last, he quit putting his personal life on hold and moved forward. Mike looks so apologetic once he saw the special agents at the door. I don't think Ryan would take it out on him, it was for protection this whole time. It explains why Mike was hurting when he saw Ryan drinking himself into oblivion months after Claire's "death".
I didn't think Mandy would run away. She was pulling away slowly once Joe and Emma were trying to recruit the cult and kill for no reason. She started to think for herself and I guess she wanted that welcomed, family feeling and thought of Lily. Bad move in my opinion. Emma will probably hunt her down once she knows where she is. Evidently, Emma is more violent then Joe; Joe just orchestrates and gets blood on everybody else.

Reign 1.15 The Darkness
Reign 1.15 The Darkness
This was kind of a boring episode. It was about Bash and the woodland family he's currently shacking up with. Oh, also Mary getting angry at herself and Lola.
Is Lola really going to have the baby? I don't think this actually happened, but I guess they're trying to make good television. At least Francis fessed up to Mary about sleeping with Lola in Paris. But what he doesn't know is Mary already knows *le sigh* so complicated!
Kenna is getting sold out into more sexual favours for the king. She's taken aback but how did she think the deal was going to be? It was only going to escalate once he knew he had a job to find her a suitor. I'm glad Catherine is trying to help her out and protect her as much as possible. She has a good side to her now that Francis is going to be king. That was her one goal, but now she can focus on doing well for Kenna rather than just for her own interest.
I'm going to miss Leith around the castle with Greer. I was hoping Greer would go with the duke to be near him, but since her parents set her up with somebody, her life is pretty much set. Wow, 16th century France sucks when it's all about dowries and owning land. Women get the shorter end of the stick, without question!

Bates Motel 2.03 Caleb
Bates Motel 2.03 Caleb
Bradley's "suicide" is in the local paper and Emma feels guilty for not liking her. I want to see more Emma in this show. I like her so much and she keeps getting shafted with no storyline! All she does is work part time at the motel front desk and admire Norman from afar. There's more to her than her doe eyed schoolgirl crush and health condition.
Looks like Norma didn't get the part in the community theater, but that doesn't stop the casting director from befriending her. Not sure if this will be a new friend but throwing in Michael Vartan in the show makes everything ten times better =D
Norman has made new friends with the girl doing sets in the theater, but I'm not sure what her background story will be about. Whether or not he gets a new friend is a puzzle, but we all know Norman can't control his blackouts.
I don't like this "I'm Norma's brother," thrown in the mix. It stirs everything up to with this extra family drama. It makes sense why Dylan wants to keep the family together, but now having the bomb dropped on him that he is basically a product of incest/rape, that's huge. Did anybody notice how whack Norman went?! That was blackout mode where he didn't control his double personality. It's getting stronger and he almost killed Dylan in the middle of the kitchen! CONTROL THE BEAST, NORMAN!

Being Human 4.10 Oh Don't You Die for Me
Josh needs to tread lightly. I do not trust this pack, and they're totally going to turn on him. He needs Nora back in his life. He made a mistake last time, but I think Nora is his balance. She can be his balance, but I don't think she should be the reason to "fix him". She chased him in the woods for three months with Aidan trying to tame his wolf. First he's a reversed wolf, now he's a wolf on cue. It's dangerous and he probably wants out more than ever.
I can't believe Sally body jumped for Aidan! Now that she is dying out on the couch, Aidan admits he will do anything for her. It's a good thing Nora told him about Sally travelling to the past and being happy with Aidan in their alternate reality. Now he will surely do whatever it takes to save her! Oh yes and Aidan also killed Suzanna for Kenny; this can work!
I am really going to miss this show when it's over. It's a shame it didn't get picked up for another season.
The Following 2.09 Unmasked
Joe is alive and the whole world knows. Claire is alive and only Mike and witness protection knows. I know nothing, I did not see that coming!
First with Joe and his minions. He accomplished to kill the crazy cult couple leaders at last. I was sick of them, but looks like Joe stole the followers to create a new band of people to manipulate.
I can't believe how crazy Jana is. Agent Mendez had a basket case on her hands. She should have stayed 3 steps ahead though once Ryan falsely accused her of being the FBI mole. As soon as she saw Jana having a bit of an episode in the garage, she was too late. Ryan and Mike are quick on their feet. They're getting a lot closer to Joe, but seem to be falling behind when Jana was in the mix. Now they can finally get somewhere without her around.
Okay so Claire is alive and where has she been all season?! Is she separated from Joey? Does keeping them apart keep them safe? The world thinks Claire is dead, and Ryan is going to flip out once he knows. I have a feeling this is Mike's first time finding out. That ending didn't seem like he knew what was going on (they put a bag on his head so he wouldn't know where they were driving to), only that he was under orders on where to go. At least Mike is somebody Ryan can trust. I wonder what Claire has to say now.
Such a good show, I love Kevin Bacon!

Reign 1.13 The Consummation
The Reign 1.13 The Consummation
Looks like Mary's mother came to play the game of politics. She showed up to stake her agreement with France to cover Scotland and more importantly, her life. She's similar to Catherine in so many ways. They'll both do anything for their kids, and will be cut throat to get what they want (not necessarily including Francis or Mary's happiness).
I was surprised when Sebastian said he would meet Mary outside the palace grounds so they could get married. I thought it would really happen, or at least Mary would have stayed at the kingdom while he was waiting in the cold (totally dramatic idea of course). Also really didn't think the wedding would happen so quick, let alone to Francis. The story is finally back on track with following the real history of Francis and Mary Queen of Scots.
My other theory on Sebastian fleeing the palace grounds is that he needs to return. When this happens maybe he brings his mom along as well. If he shows back up in the middle of all the drama, Mary will definitely fall back to him. It's going to be the same cycle until Mary flees to England for shelter.
Also, Francis and Lola's meet up from last week is going to resurface again, I'm sure. Not sure if that will damage the relationship, but Mary already looks like she had doubts when she found herself caught in the middle of Bash and Francis. I am liking the turn of events in this season, just hope it remains exciting.

Bates Motel 2.01 Gone But Not Forgotten
Bates Motel 2.01 Gone But Not Forgotten
Quite the returning premiere! I'm impressed with everything that happened in tonight's episode. I may actually believe Norman never killed Miss Watson to begin with. I actually have doubts he may not have done it, which is funny considering he is kind of schizophrenic and blacks out through certain situations.
That whole suicide attempt Bradley did was a desperate cry for help. She's angry the dad had an affair, but she must be angrier it was possibly the cause of his death and not the drug business. She's making herself too available to Dylan and Norman, It's not fair to Norman, but at least Dylan knows the boundaries and won't try anything considering his brother's feelings.
Dylan really is the good son. He has the bad boy image, but he sticks around for the sake of Norman. He is trying his best to be a good brother but it's tough when he is involved with the marijuana business. His heart is in the right place and stays out of selflessness. I hope he gets more on screen time.
I demand more Emma!! I think she will play a bigger part since Norman is stuffing more animals and probably will work with Emma's dad more often. In addition to his morbid hobbies, visiting the cemetery isn't a good idea. Now there's a mystery man standing above her headstone. I think he has to be her father.
Sheriff Romero knows a lot of the underground mishaps in the town and remains mysterious through everything. Is he really the good sheriff of the town or does he cover up kind of like the crooked cops of the town? I remember he covered up things in season one but it was all for the greater good. I want to believe he's the good one in this TV show other than Emma. If Bradley doesn't clean up her mess at the end of the show, Sheriff Romero will find it. Norman may help her the best he can but I have a feeling Dylan will find out and put it together it must be Bradley.
I just finished watching the first Bates Motel: After Hours. I don't know if it will be as promising as Chris Hardwick's Talking Dead or Talking Bad but it needs better organization with the questions. It's already airing late at night, so not many people stay up late on a Monday night to hash tag and post questions they want to know about the show. I'm happy they tried their best with interviewing the three main characters (Freddie was in England, poor guy). I hope Olivia Cooke and Nicola Peltz (Emma and Bradley), or even Sheriff Romero get to come on the show to discuss the future of the show. I'd really want to hear their point of views on the show's direction with the new characters. I'm looking forward to Michael Vartan's guest appearance on the show!
The Following 2.07 Sacrifice
The Following 2.07 Sacrifice
Kevin Bacon is the man! The good news is he's cooperating with the FBI to find out who the leak is. Bad news is he is speaking to the wrong people. When it comes down to it, he can only trust Mike and Max. Every time he puts his faith in someone new, it turns sour. I cant believe Max got kidnapped though! The little boy is insane. Hate him for using ugly words to describe women. Thank goodness Mike and Ryan tied his hands behind his back and got the location out of him. If Max was going to die at the hands of "the huntsman" in this episode, I would've stopped watching. Hence, this is why Kevin Bacon is the man!
Looks like Joe found a group of crazy people just as crazy as his followers. The only difference is these people wear matching robes in the woods. I'm not feeling it, and they're all controlling. This cult is going to give me nightmares tonight.
That ending scene with Mike experiencing pain in front of the entire FBI was too much to handle. Shawn Ashmore has always been a versatile actor, and one of my favourite Canadian actors. I don't think I've seen him so vulnerable before. He played it so well. He's going to want revenge for his father's death, and this will mess him up. Mike admitted to Ryan that he has a problem and he needs to leave and go home. When he came back because he found out Ryan's niece Max was taken, that showed what a good cop and great friend he really is. The moment he noticed his parent's living room was the time we knew he lost everything. On the building steps crying into Ryan's lap,everything's changed. Neither of them are going to be the same after this.

Being Human 4.08 Rewind, Rewind...
I'M SO SAD THIS SHOW GOT THE BOOT!!
It's the worst feeling when the television shows you watch get the axe. I put a lot of interest into this show and absolutely love the characters in it.
This was an excellent episode showing Sally redoing scenarios from the past. Of course just like everything else, changing fate has consequences. I like how they showed what it's like for her to have a relationship with Aidan. Portraying this possibility is what actually happens in the UK version. Another change was Sally saving Nora, and instead getting scratched by Josh. No matter what, Josh was meant to scratch someone with his wolf curse that night. It was unavoidable, but another reason why changing the past has it's consequences.
In the end, Sally gets hurt and bleeds on the concrete from her bashed head. Aidan looks like he's really in love with Sally, but has his vampire urges giving way from his humanity. I don't know if Sally's ghost self can get out of this realm, but it makes me wonder what is really happening in present day.
If so much time has passed (nearly a year considering the timeline is going in 3 to 6 months forward), how is everything with present day Aidan, Josh and Nora without Sally around? She really makes a difference in everything, but with the wolf pack, Aidan touching base with Kenny and the witchcraft, who knows how much has changed without Sally.
Looking forward to next Monday. Even though this show is ending, I will see it to the end!
