Once Upon a Time 5.03 Siege Perilous

Once Upon a Time 5.03 Siege Perilous
Finding out Camelot has a secret motive gives me so much hope that Emma's decision to go dark was provoked. I'm hoping she reveals a bit of her downward spiral. We see her determination to take Excalibur, but she's letting her relationships with Henry and Killian suffer.

David and Snow are blinded by their love and are taking too much of a backseat. David is working too closely with Arthur (as we now know is a lost cause) but they should really be concerned with Emma's dark powers growing within her.

Regina looks like she's controlling all aspects of the situation. I think she's taking things too far in concerns of Zelena and her unborn baby. I'd like to think she would have a better moral compass after becoming a hero in all of this. Separating a parent unwillingly from their child is one of the worst things a human can do. I disapprove this and I'd like for her to remember her emotions when she thought Emma was taking Henry from her.

Heroes Reborn 1.04, Reign 3.01

Heroes Reborn 1.04 The Needs of the Many
I like the change in Luke's character. I was hoping he'd flip on his choice and grow a conscious and a pair to hold his own. His wife is too hard for him to handle. She's unstable and can't picture her bully him into murdering other Evos. I hope the separation is permanent. Luke can concentrate on finding other people to help out and Joanne can be destructive elsewhere.

Tough stuff, I'm bored of Miko and Ren now =/. There's way too many character stories to follow along. I understand Miko's importance, especially with the samurai sword being rightfully hers. It's just taking far too long to develop her importance.

Once again, poor Tommy can't catch a break. The accident is major and his mom needs to make it through. I hope he gets out of this one, but he's stronger with Emily on his team. It seems to be a repetition from the original Heroes where there's always an Evo and human together. This is the team that I have faith in. They may be young, but I hope they're not as naive as the rest of the characters we've seen.

Now in Los Angeles we see Dearing capture the priest. I don't understand what his end game is, or who he works for. I'm not sure it's her Erica. She keeps a lot of her Evo employees close, not so much on the field to do their own searches.

Wow, I'm surprised Molly Walker did something selfless. I wonder what location she's been protecting this whole time. It could have been the Evo in the very end of the episode.

Reign 3.01 Three Queens, Two Tigers
Awesome. We kick off the season with Francis and Mary back together. I'm glad Francis admits he's dying though. It shows he's choosing his illegitimate son, Mary and his country ahead of everything. I'm not sure how long Catherine will be banned for. She seems to be making great friends with Elizabeth, but we'll see how the plot thickens along the way.

I wonder if Elizabeth will get her way with having her lover on the side. Catherine is pretty supportive in her political reign, but obviously it's to secure her survival.

Why is Charles so big?! He's young, but I thought he was younger than Francis. They always age them like crazy on TV haha

Lola and Greer are getting pretty good side stories this season, better than Bash's present situation. The writers keep skimming on Bash lately, I hope he gets something proper.

Arrow 4.01 Green Arrow

Arrow 4.01 Green Arrow
So it looks like Felicity and Oliver are pulled back in the game. He really enjoyed life away from Starling City, but I feel he's really pushing himself. His heart is indifferent but his brain tells him where he needs to be. I'm pretty positive if Thea wasn't a factor, he'd never return.

Felicity misses her friends, so she can't keep away from them all. Laurel looks like she's upped her game a bit by taking a predominant role with the team. Diggle is more forward, but he's definitely note automatic friends with Oliver. It's way too early, even though his wife forgave everything Oliver did with the hostage incident.

That ending was everything. Barry shows up and apologizes for not being present for the funeral. It had to be Felicity's tombstone! I wonder if Oliver never got a chance to marry her. He hid the ring in "present time" in a bowl of rocks on their side table. The flash forward indicates he's not getting a happy ending in all of this. Barry's wonderful, and the only reason why I parallel Arrow and The Flash side by side.

The Flash 2.01, Limitless 1.03

The Flash 2.01 The Man Who Saved Central City
Looks like Barry starts off with blaming himself for what happened at the end of last season. Ronnie's lost in the vortex and he doesn't feel he deserves the key to the city for his bravery.

Caitlin shouldn't be separate from S.T.A.R. labs, I forbid this! Her spot is better with the team than Iris. She's just a journalist mourning her ex-boyfriend Eddie. I feel she isn't healthy for Barry's well being. She knows Barry always had feelings for her, but she ignored and friend-zoned him the entire time.

The rebel character was a weak one tonight, since this premiere was more dialogue/emotional based. Jay Garrick arriving at the end was a lot of fun though! I wonder what news he has for Barry and the team.

Limitless 1.03 The Legend of Marcos Ramos
I can't get over how Brian hustled the entire floor for information on their crooked boss haha Probably the best part of the episode.

Seeing his interaction with his ex-girlfriend Shauna finally showed what his past used to be. It's too bad she couldn't stick around, but the warning from Bradley Cooper's and company was a huge threat. Speaking of which, it really looks like the stay-at-home nurse knows more than she's lead on this whole time. She knows Brian's body will eventually shut down. She also knows to categorize herself as a number. It's not like Brian can rely on her for the truth, but she is taking care of his father's health. I'm hoping she can eventually help him if it comes down to a moral decision.

Once Upon a Time 5.02, Blood & Oil 1.02

Once Upon a Time 5.02 The Price
Okay, why is Emma Swan keeping the entire time frame in Camelot a secret? I understand maybe hiding it from everybody else, but Killian should be open to it. He's always seen her side, even been a villain himself.

I wonder if she'll ever connect Excalibur properly. If she can do it, maybe that's what the warning from her flashback piece in last week's episode was about. I think she will be "lost" to the darkness if she connects the dagger to the sword. She still has feelings and a conscience; it was evident when she watched everyone in Granny's diner. In the beginning with Henry, their conversation still had meaning despite being empty. Excalibur becoming whole may mean so will her power.

Hope next week I get something more active.

Blood & Oil 1.02 The Ripple Effect
I see a little bit more character development in this episode. There's a lot of petty arguing between Billy and Cody, and they're only getting worst. If this is how the entire show will carry out, I don't think I'll want to see an angry couple go at each other's throats.

Why in the world would Billy go to the garage crime scene as well? I know he was involved with the fight, but it was Hap Briggs' oil that was stolen. His son Wick is a total snake and a coward. He's basically the opposite of his half sister. I'm actually liking Lacey's part in this show. It looks like she's successful in California, but she needs a 24 hour watchdog/man-servant while in town. She doesn't take to Darla kindly either, but I guess it's traditional family dynamics. She's somewhat more civil around her stepmother than Wick is. Wick and Darla have a total disregard for each other and it all comes down to money problems.

Heroes Reborn 1.03 Under the Mask

Heroes Reborn 1.03 Under the Mask
At long last, Dylan Bruce is back on my television! So are a couple more actors from Rookie Blue :D, but I looked forward to Bruce's appearance ever since he made the announcement in an Orphan Black interview. Also, I knew Captain James Dearing needed special abilities. I have a feeling his story had more layers to it. Similar to Luke Collins, he's unsure where he stands at the moment with being an assassin.

Luke and his wife Joanne are on an angry killing spree because of what happened to their son. We can see Luke turning hesitant, whereas Joanne needs closure in acting out the way she does. As soon as Noah's car stopped after the spark in his fingers hit the radio, it was obvious. I wonder if he will hide this from his wife or if he will seek help from the same people he tried to wipe out. He's supposed to head to Los Angeles, maybe the underground people can help save him.

Hoping the story moves along past Molly Walker. It gets old (at least it does to me) using the "tracking device" story once again. I wonder what happened between her and Matt Parkman. I know Matt returned to his family in the final season, but Molly must be alone after Mohinder passed at the start of this season. Another thing I've noticed is all the abilities this time around are simpler. More people can fly or have super strength nowadays. Nothing extraordinary or unique as the original Heroes where someone could be specifically identified.
