What an unbelievable season! I didn't think this show would take a turn the way it did, but I had my suspicions that Claire was involved the whole time as opposed to Lee.
I didn't think it would be all three people associated with Pippa and Lisa's death, but it would make sense each one would blackmail the other for the sake of their own protection.
I am so glad there was some closure and justice coming out of Joe Miller's case. I thought Reverend Paul was going to take matters into his own hands, but his loyalty to the church and his friends proved he was doing the right thing for the town (without losing his morals). Beth's closing speech to Joe REALLY sank in with every kind of feeling any parent would express to somebody whose wronged/violated them in the worst possible way. When she said there were so many awful things she could do to him and no one would care, she hit the hammer right on the nail. The entire town was torn apart and broken by Danny's death. Everybody had deep dark secrets, none of which would've surfaced if it weren't for Danny's murder.
I'm glad Beth, Mark and Ellie did the right thing by showing he's no longer welcomed back into town to live amongst them as if nothing happened. They're burying the hatchet, but along with it want to forget he ever existed. He extended this entire season by showing what a coward he really is. I'm so happy this happened, even though I wish he was trialled guilty =/
Back to the Lee Ashworth case, I'm glad Alec Hardy can go back to Sandbrook. (I wonder if that's where season three will take us?) Once the Broadchurch case was solved, and his previous case in Sandbrook was re-opened only to be solved, now he can go back to his life. I'm sure there will be a new case for him to solve, but I hope the new season doesn't bring up his health concerns into the show as his send-off. I can't wait another year! With that horrific Gracepoint spin-off wasting my time (and David Tennant's haha), I hope the writers can get back on track and write a proper season three for this series!

Arrow 3.15, X Company 1.02
Arrow 3.15 Nanda Parabat
Thea feels better about clearing her conscious to Laurel, but it's a bit of a stretch letting Nyssa know she can get an eye for an eye revenge on her.
I didn't think Oliver would be offered a spot in the league of assassins, let alone become a potential new leader. For the sake of his sister and Starling City, I don't think he's going to take it. Especially with Diggle, Felicity and Roy (and I guess now Laurel) as his team, they wouldn't want him to go dark side.
Ray accomplished to get his suit working! It's a good thing to Felicity finally said something about him. I want her to be happy, whether it is with Oliver or Ray I don't care anymore. She does so much and is underrated in so many ways that it upsets me. I think she's more hardcore than Laurel in a sense that she's stable and doesn't have to blame past situations on emotions and do the annoying self-pity-whine-fest through her life. Don't get me wrong, I really like Katie Cassidy, (my personal favourite was her as Ruby 1.0 in Supernatural) but as Laurel, I've never been able to warm up to the character. I think it's the character itself, not Katie at all.
Overall, I don't think Thea is going to die. If Oliver is considered as a league member, Thea just can't die!
X Company 1.02 Trial by Fire
Hugh Dillon is the man!! I hope this whole show changes the dynamic of the role Canadians played during WWII. This episode basically demonstrates what the members of the team have to do, whatever it takes to get the job done for the greater good. I want Aurora to get a dominant role, since she's the only main female character here.
I think the part Tom played was difficult, since he was the one putting the lives of everybody else over morals. In the end, he admitted he lied to the young boy and mom about what he said earlier to get rid of the stepfather. Tom was alone and needed to make a choice. With his injured leg, there were only a number of ways he could come out of the barn alive before the team got back to him.
I have a feeling the flashbacks of Alfred in jail are where is now in present time. All that we are seeing now with the episodes already happened, and Alfred gets captured? I know priority is to get him out of danger and make sure he never gets taken. He's the asset with the brilliant mind and most information that can be used against them. What if the team failed and Alfred got separated from the team? It's just an idea I have because they keep flashing in and out with him in the jail cell. I very much like where it's going, but I think it'll be interesting if it take a surprise turn with the jail cell flashbacks/flashforwards.

Sleepy Hollow 2.18 Tempus Fugit
Sleepy Hollow 2.18 Tempus Fugit
This was a great season finale!
I think Katrina's anger has strung on way too long. Her character hasn't had much purpose, but it also dragged along with her uncertainty as Ichabod's wife. It got messy with Abraham in the mix and putting Jeremy ahead of everything. She just needed to go and I'm glad it happened at last.
I actually wanted Nick to be back in the end with the group as well, but you can't have everything.
If Ichabod and Abby are able to surpass time, I think they'll be the ones saving sleepy hollow for any future war to come. SO HAPPY Frank is back to normal, we need another normal ex-cop on Abby's side.
Happy it wasn't an open-ended finale, but a proper send off into the next season if they choose to write for another =)

The Night Shift 2.01 Recovery
I'm so happy this show is back! I forgot why T.C. got suspended but picked up after he had his panic attack in the OR for the season finale. I'm really glad Topher is alright now and back working the night shift with the team.
I don't like T.C. tiptoeing around the place as if he doesn't belong. Everybody calls for T.C., they know he's the one who knows what to do. His suspension better be lifted by the next episode. He likes to be the one to kick ass and save lives, total adrenaline junkie indeed! What he did for his friend's surgery was so nice. He loves his motorcycle but did the honourable deed and saved a friend's life.
Where's Landry? She looks like she was written off the show and replaced with the new emergency paramedic Gwen. I like her but at least say something about Landry; she played a great role with the team and was inbetween T.C. and Ragosa. She was also the psych in the department, never did get a replacement for her.
I am glad we have Joey (also known as Delko from those CSI: Miami days) on the team as a fun character. I would hope for more female characters to be a part of this show, but I like Adam Rodriguez as an actor!
Pretty stoked Ragosa quit and is considering working the floor with the rest of the team. Maybe we can see a different side to him that isn't all management and money. When he said he refused to push paper and be hated, that totally speaks to people today with their happiness in general. A lot of people like to work in an environment for the money, but the most people nowadays prefer feeling more fulfilled and happy with what they do as opposed to how much they earn. Getting back to the show, I understand Ragosa's feelings with having a tumour scare and regaining his life back.

The Walking Dead 5.11 The Distance
The Walking Dead 5.11 The Distance
I don't know if this guy is who he says he is. Rick has a right to be cautious, but of course as an audience we take the group's POV. It's good to add more people in, especially since people are surviving somehow in various locations.
Looks like Maggie and Sasha are in a trustworthy mood. I'd keep my guard up no matter what, but after what the whole group has endured, I feel they've endured way too much
"Just because we're good people, doesn't mean we won't kill you." Such a key statement from Rick I feel will resonate throughout the episode.
WHOA the hoard of walkers impounding the car, makes me question if that was a planned trap! The way the stranger answered Rick's three questions from Michonne... makes you 50/50 on your faith in him.
My stomach jumped a bit when Glenn was showing off his knowledge from Dale on the RV. I am so happy we got some real action and excitement out of this. I also completely forgot about the priest until the very end.

Arrow 3.14 The Return
Arrow 3.14 The Return
I've had mixed feelings with Laurel being the new Black Canary in this. Her father is ignoring her now and hates her for keeping Sarah's death a secret for so long. I don't see why they're avoiding each other. Emotionally, they cope the exact same way, they need each other's strength in this.
Finally, Thea sees the light! at least this way, she sees Malcolm Merlyn the way Oliver does. If they try to defeat Ra's al Ghul, I wonder if Thea will really cut Merlyn out of her life. Hoping she chooses Oliver over everything else thrown at them.
Really missed Felicity in this episode. I quite like a team episode with her, Roy and Diggle.

A well thought-out Canadian show (with actual Canadians) playing their roles in history! I only became aware of this show when I first saw the promos about a month or so ago. When I noticed a handful of my favourite Canadian actors on the list, they ultimately were my motivation to check it out.
We got to meet the main characters we'll be seeing through the series, and what they actually do with as young agents. They really do make a difference in the war but they're also forced to make tough calls most of the time.
I wonder if this show will stay consistent with running into the enemy, and seeing both good and evil on opposite sides of the team. The example of one of the German officers expressing his compassion towards the young girl, shows not all of them are bad. They're just caught on the wrong side taking orders from the wrong people. Human nature and common sense will come into play a lot, so I look forward to seeing more of this as the season goes on! Don't want to spoil this show but I like it when things look promising from Canadian producers!
