Sleepy Hollow 1.06 The Sin Eater

Sleepy Hollow 1.06 The Sin Eater
I nearly lost interest in the show because of the three week hiatus between episodes.

Abby and Ichabod's relationship has grown so far from the beginning. I'm not sure how I feel about her connection with Ichabod though considering he is intertwined with the headless horsemen. Katrina has sacrificed so much for Crane that I think they won't get their happy ending. At the pace of the storyline, I see her sacrificing herself completely to let Ichabod live out his life curse-free.

It's nice to see Craig Parker (Legend of the Seeker, Lord of the Rings) again in another 'mythical' themed picture. Even if it is one flashback, he makes a great character no matter what range.

If this show remains consistent, I'll keep watching. Otherwise, I have other shows I could be reviewing!

Hostages 1.07 Hail Mary

Hostages 1.07 Hail Mary
Everybody is working against Ellen! She knows Duncan's dad and he knows way more than we thought. Looks like he is responsible for introducing her strong qualities as a surgeon to whoever is pulling the strings.

I still think it's the president's wife who is causing all of this. We know the president had an affair, so what other motivation than revenge and a broken heart?

Kramer is probably the nicest one of the kidnapping group. He's selflessly helping Sandrine with so much at risk! I think this may cause a rift between him and Duncan he appears to be the weakest/softest person with regards to keeping up his demeanor. We saw his emotions from the beginning when he gave Jake's dog back to him and fighting the drug dealers off. It probably comes from his past addiction where no one probably helped him and he knows what it's like to be helpless.

I also think Duncan is going to survive that ending scene or else there won't be a show to watch!

Once Upon a Time 3.06, The Walking Dead 4.04

Once Upon a Time 3.06 Ariel


The title of the episode is the giveaway. I think Ariel will get more screen time this season considering her role to cross between realms so easily. I am happy with seeing JoAnna Garcia Swisher (Gossip Girl, Are You Afraid of the Dark?) getting the part since I can believe her as a curious and intuitive character. I would think Baelfire/Neal escaped Neverland as a boy with the help of Ariel. Since Neverland is an island surrounded by mermaids and other creatures, I figure Ariel is a good person who wanted to help him escape.

Now I thought Ursula would be an actual character, but instead she stands as a mythical guardian. The enjoyed the animation scene through the mirror. I think it parallels those with magic and those with an actual higher power than those from the Enchanted Forest.

The best part of this episode was that we know we are getting the Storybrooke characters back together.




The Walking Dead 4.04 Indifference
I really DID NOT see that coming! Wow, Carol was the one who did it! She is a totally different person now, and I wish she stayed.

We all understand why she did it, but I have no idea why Rick is choosing Tyreese over Carol. He knows Carol, he went through that traumatic Sophia killing in season two and he's known her from the beginning when he reunited with his family. It's awful to see her "gone" but I am hoping she comes back. I find every part of her has grown into a full fighter like the rest. She's become resourceful, helpful and an all around key person amongst the survival of the fittest.

I wanted Rick to change his mind, but Carol now understands the consequences of acting without discussion.

I love you Ama

I've recently been dealing with the loss of my grandma in the last week and it has been a difficult time at home. I'm trying to keep busy and distract myself as much as possible. This is the only way I know how to stay normal and control my emotions better than before.

I wasn't prepared or expecting this loss since I felt there was some progress in her health in the last month. But my grandma was in a lot of pain and suffered so much through the years. She broke her hip a couple years ago and following our last vacation in May 2012 to see her, she experience a stroke a week after. Later on came the hospital visits and the struggle. I'll always remember the time periods she would spend with us in Canada.

She was a big part in our day to day lives and there isn't one day I wouldn't think about her while back in the Philippines. As a family, we would call her and YeYe every month, every birthday, every holiday and even for no reason at all. Ama raised us, taught us and really was the best role model she could be to us.

I'm sad she has gone but she's at peace and more importantly, she knew we loved her.

Reign 1.03 Kissed

Reign 1.03 Kissed
I enjoy how this show is dramatized to appeal to a younger viewing audience, but I do wish it would be more historically accurate. It admit it is interesting though, especially with how Prince Francis is made into a hero. The real Prince Francis was sick and didn't live long because he was always ill. Nostradamus already set the tone in the first episode that he will die once he marries and ascends the thrown. It looks like a set up of Mary being the cause of death, but actually following the marriage, Prince Francis will probably see war and a lot of loss to his kingdom.

Nostradamus looks like he will have visions in every episode to continue telling the future of kingdom and those in the court. The king may have something to do with getting rid of him if he keeps so close to Queen Catherine. Sebastian must know something about Nostradamus with what we've seen in the previous episode. This could be another secret because other than this, he is an obedient illegitimate son of the king.

I didn't know Manolo Cardona (Covert Affairs) would play the illegitimate Prince of Portugal. I don't know his longevity in this, especially since Francis is now trying to fight back for Mary. So typical, as soon as somebody wants what you had, you chase after what is no longer "yours".

Where is Clarissa the mysterious bagged person?! I like her, she adds more mystery and horror into the castle. If Prince Charles acknowledges her, she must be interested int he survival of the children.

The episode was more informative this time around. Mary's friend Greer is seeking love and hope for the sake of saving her family back home. I understand this since when you're not of noble descent, you don't get much of a choice on who to marry and how to survive with little money. She is basically lucky she grew up with Mary and is in her court.

The Tomorrow People 1.04, Arrow 2.04

The Tomorrow People 1.04 Kill or Be Killed
Glad they finally showed John's back story. He's an abused foster child who provided for his fellow foster siblings by using his powers. He then turned into a runaway and live on his own after Jedikiah took him into Ultra.

But WHOA!! John can kill?! Jedikiah's drug induced method to the primary of his brain (I hope I got that right) actually made him a survivor too, not just Cillian. Cara and the group don't even know, so this is major! This is such a dark secret and I really think this will change everything in the season. If this gets out, the rest of the team will look at him as the leader who lied to them all this time."I think there's a reason why we were born unable to kill. Destroy something, part of a soul you don't get back. I felt it today, just like I felt it years ago." This one-on-one secret talk with Jedikiah was so intense! I instantly thought of Harry Potter haha but I see how John's emotion is totally torn up on the inside. He feels so guilty to let Jedikiah in to "help" him at such a young age and manipulate who he was. I am really loving how the writers and producers are making this show so enjoyable. Very impressive stuff I am seeing!!

Arrow 2.04 Crucible

I knew it was Sara! HOLY! I predicted Black Canary would be her, but I didn't think it would actually be her! Now the story is going to get good! Finally, one time the episode flashbacks don't both me because they brought Sara back into it. "No woman should ever suffers at the hands of men." After Sara said this, I think she is basing it on numerous events in her life. Her and Oliver going behind Laurel's back, her time frame surviving the sinking ship and her return back to Starling City.

I don't trust Sebastian Blood. If "Brother Blood" is taking things into his own hands the way he did, he is a threat to the city. Then again, he may be taking orders from Isabel (Summer Glau). She's the newly introduced character with new money. Comes in as an investor and will most likely have plenty of money to cover up anything else. After Merlyn being the villain last season, I'm not surprised at these new characters coming in to play.

Hostages 1.06 Sister's Keeper

Hostages 1.06 Sister's Keeper
I am so glad we learned a bit more about the other agents in this episode. I understand why she separates her son and personal life from her work. But she has money troubles, which gets her involved with the wrong people. I wonder if Agent Carlisle was going to help her get the money to keep her around. He was very methodical in putting away his other friend and set him up for the murder. Then again, he is now a man short and is only operating with the rebellious Sandrine and his recovering ex-addict Kramer. Have we established officially that Kramer is his brother-in-law? I only assumed because of Carlisle's visit to the hospital and Kramer said, "Tell her I love her" to his wife.

I'm surprised Ellen actually threw her sister out. It was necessary to cut her lose for the sake of keeping the hostage situation a secret, but getting the hospital shrink and security was over the top. After all this is over, whichever wait may turn, I don't know if she can rebuild her relationship with her sister after this.

Kramer definitely has a soft spot for Jake, which could get dangerous in the remaining two episodes. It is a short-lived show, but since there is no sign of a season two, I hope the final episodes tie up all loose ends.
