The Following 3.04 Home // 3.05 A Hostile Witness
Two hour special! I live for these kind of evenings.
Can I have one request? I want Ryan Hardy to come out of this season with no more gunshot wounds. Unscathed is a stretch, he's been through Hell and back several times so he's broken. Make him bulletproof already!
Max and Mike are better back together (except for what happened at the end)! Mike is finally focused and Max needs to forget about all the loss she's experienced in her so far. Mike also needs to stop making an enemy out of everyone in the FBI. I know what he's doing; distancing himself on purpose to create space between everybody. He's got the boundaries down, but he's taking it too far by shutting himself out completely and going into a work obsessive overdrive. I hope it turns around soon, now since Max is in critical condition.
I can't believe Tommy stole the laptop, he better pay for this. Concealing evidence is going to get you! Besides, I don't think he's in the right mindset now on the field. He almost let Mike hang off the roof if it weren't for Max's timing. He also didn't turn the laptop in, now he's just spying. Worst SWAT ever!
Daisy and Kyle are batshit crazy. They're so deranged, I'm glad Ryan caught Kyle on the roof and was able to take him down. This will slow down their movements, meaning Mark's likely to be caught soon. Where's Mark going to go? Isn't he running out of resources? I know he slipped away, but I don't think he's dead. Now that Strauss is out and about, Mark is made a new enemy.
I'm glad they brought Carrie's character back into this, even for a brief moment. I was wondering what happened to her, so it's good to close off that part of the story. She's a journalist who never got to report another story concerning Joe Carroll, and then vanished when Gwen came in the picture.
I wonder if next week is going to be Joe Carroll centred. I know Ryan is desperate for help (obvious why he's flown in to see him) but will he just extract answers from Joe or use him to help out? Preview for next week looks good! Michael Ealy gets a part in this show and hasn't done some work in a while =)

The Walking Dead 5.15 Try
The Walking Dead 5.15 Try
CRAZY LYING COWARDS! I'm sorry but cowards, like these people in Alexandria, just infuriate me. People who leave their own behind. People who beat on those smaller than them.
Alcoholic Pete abuses Jessie (while exposing Sam to it), this is all wrong. Domestic violence in a town that's supposed to be "safe" in this apocalyptic world. Jessie put a bolt on the inside of Sam's closet too? That means it gets really violent behind closed doors. Rick looks like he's going to take care of it all, no doubt about that. I think Michonne's whack upside the head was a way to save him. As much as she wants to stay in Alexandria, she needs to keep Rick's temper under control.
Sasha is so broken nowadays. She really did leave the town on her own terms afterall. I guess nobody else could've stopped her, but at the same time I don't know why she's going about survival this way. Michonne behaved like she was brought back down to her roots when she was alone when we first met her. Rosita doesn't look like she understands what Sasha is talking about, but she definitely understands since Noah died and now Tara is fighting to live.
Norman looks like he's getting closer to finding stuff out. I'm glad he was able to let some of his walls down and give Eric's boyfriend a chance. What is the "W" on the people's heads for? And who is tying them up to the trees to die and rot?!
I'm excited we have one episode left next week! It looks like it will end on a high note, and I'm glad the season is going to close off well =)

Once Upon a Time 4.16 Poor Unfortunate Soul
Once Upon a Time 4.16 Poor Unfortunate Soul
I like the story of young Ursula, she used to be on The Following. Her rare gift (soothing song voice) as a weapon is kind of like Ariel. It makes sense that it's similar with all mermaids, how they act as a siren. Killian genuinely wanted to help her though the whole time. He was actually going to get Ursula where she wanted to be without question, even before Poseidon tried to bribe him with another deal.
I also thought King Poseidon was Ariel's father as well, so I'm really confused. If Ariel came to and from the realms, she's a fast swimmer! Thank goodness she made an appearance to help save Killian in Storybrooke.
Really love that August is back, but I wonder if he'll remain this way. I like him better as an adult but I hope Rumplestilskin doesn't ruin everything as always. He was very helpful in the end with assisting with the page. I thought the door would've been physically in the library or Regina's house, but if the author is stuck inside, it very well could be an adult/future Henry (I'm still sticking with this theory).
Killian finally confessed he's found his happy ending, but it may not be good enough to bring Emma out of darkness with Rumple gets his hands on her =/

Arrow 3.16, Reign 2.17, X Company 1.05
Arrow 3.16 The Offer
All the fighting girls have daddy issues! Captain Lance isn't talking to Laurel, Ra's turned on Nyssa, and Thea's been against Merlyn for quite some time.
I'm glad Oliver isn't taking Ra's a Ghul's offer on taking over the league, but now Ra's is posing with Arrow's identity. I don't like him in Starling City, he's trying too hard to be a staple character when he's making me miserable. I understand the DC Comics franchise has all of them intertwine (we see League of Assassins in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy) but having him in Arrow is a bit much. If the next TV show to overlap is Gotham, it will be an overload since it's presently in Bruce Wayne's upbringing.
Finally, Felicity came clean to Oliver on his feelings on Ray. His timing was late, that's why Felicity's moved on. Simple as that. Even though the audience is cheering for Felicity and Oliver, it's appropriate they allowed her to move on.
The episode was slow for me, and Merlyn looks like he's still in the picture until he gets back on his feet.
Reign 2.17 Tempting Fate
I knew Francis was sick! I felt if Mary officially chose to be with Conde, this would be his downfall. It's good Conde came clean with the deal with Elizabeth and the English throne. I knew he was playing a double agent in this, because he pursued Mary and turned down every chance his brother offered him to advance his status.
I don't know if Conde will last though. If Mary is supposed to be by Francis' side, that means Conde would have to leave the picture. Lola looks like she's on Mary's side, kind of the only person cheering for her really. I'm thinking Greer would do the same if she wasn't banished. Leith's ambition to save and marry her may not be a lost cause. (You kind of need an annulment first though haha)
Is Bash really dead? I know the healer is trying to work her magic, but this means he'll go missing for days. Also, Kenna is in the castle without any knowledge of this. Hoping Kenna and Bash can fix their marriage, for a while they looked like the only stable pairing in all of this.
X Company 1.05 Walk with the Devil
Impressed that Alfred and Aurora pulled off their mission so well. They saved so many girls even though they couldn't bring Claire along. As soon as I found out the hospital was a birth house for "perfect Arian babies," my stomach turned into knots. This is one of the many situations
Glad to see Juliet Stevenson get a spot in this show! Too bad she couldn't stick around, but then she would've found out the team couldn't save Claire. It shows a lot of people were forced to play parts they didn't want to for the sake of survival.
This was also the first time we didn't see Alfred have his blue flashbacks in the jail cell. When he broke down in front of Aurora, my heart dropped and my eyes got watery. Jack Laskey is a marvellous actor! When he explained what happens to the new borns if they're not up to "perfect" standards, I was horrified. I can't imagine the nightmare endured in this time-period, it's heartbreaking how much the Holocaust has taken away from people. I am digging Alfred and Aurora together; I hope they keep building their relationship with each other.
I can't believe this show only gets eight episodes for the first season. I like the history and backstories given in each situation; it's more interesting to see where each character comes from, their life and personal struggles.

The Flash 1.15 Out of Time
The Flash 1.15 Out of Time
I really enjoy the diversity in this show. Starting with the captain of the police force being an openly, gay man. A man in power with a proud relationship shows so much strength and how much these old comic book hero stories are changing with the times. I'm proud of the writers of this show to express different relationships, both homosexual and interracial =)
Iris knows the truth about Barry's secret identity at last! I hope she'll react properly by the next episode. Barry is busy saving Central city, but there will be bigger problems once he returns to the lab.
Cisco's death is too much for me! I don't want him to go out this way, because Caitlin's going to be next to follow! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! This season has plenty of episodes left, I don't want it just to be Caitlin and Barry alone in all of this! Dr. Wells is risking everything and at the same time exposing too much at once. Cisco was the brain behind most of the inventions and ideas for Harrison's work. I wonder why he would eliminate him so soon, especially since he could easily silence him.
I want Cisco to be saved, but I'm not sure if Dr. Wells pulled out his heart =/ I really don't want him to be gone, he was really fun in this show!

The Night Shift 2.04 Shock to the Heart
The Night Shift 2.04 Shock to the Heart
May have to always separate these posts from The Following and Bates Motel reviews, since these are more realistic and less morbid.
I'm so happy Paul stood up for his patient. Date-rape is a serious crime, yet we see so many victims ashamed of the incident and coming forward. It's good they portrayed this in a setting where the girl had no control and in no way was at fault. She attended a party with one of her girlfriends and later was taken advantage of. Paul went wild on her jackass of a friend, but he had every right to. Very rarely is something done to justify a victim's rights. It's about time Paul became the voice for somebody who couldn't speak up in time.
Jordan and T.C. look like they're in a good place. Getting the dog was a sweet gesture from T.C.'s side! Now they can have a full and happy home.
I see Krista distancing herself from Kenny. I know their relationship is really new, and they didn't even date at the end of first season, so it's easy not to get attached to them. Joey appears to be emotionally different then Kenny, but neither of them are bad guys. Joey happens to be more in touch with positive energy and yoga. Kenny wants to get closer to Krista, but it's not working out in his favour.
Ragosa is kicking more ass! I feel bad for Drew's personal life, but it was going to come sooner or later. I thought if his partner didn't want to leave, Drew would be the one to pull the plug on the relationship. It's probably another reason why Krista is feeling bad about being in the middle of it. I'm sure he isn't going to do anything wrong, but hope he can get back to being in Ragosa's corner for doing well in the hospital.
Ragosa outdone himself and stepped it up investigating the family's vehicle and work conditions. I like him better on the same level as Topher and the rest of the team.

The Following 3.03, Bates Motel 3.02
The Following 3.03 Exposed
I don't trust Gwen! Moving in with Ryan is way too big of a step. Ryan wants a comfort zone, so he tries to keep her close.
Max and Mike are stronger together, especially since they successfully caught that killer together. Max has more fire, but I think her new boyfriend Tom may be her weakness. I think he also may be involved with the crazy couple, Kyle and Daisy. Tom had impeccable timing when Max was about to enter her apartment. (Can you tell I don't trust anyone new in this show?) He could be an extra player in Mark's plan to get to Ryan.
Mark is picking off the FBI one by one, and Max might be the first of the trio to go. If Tom has something to do with this, Mike may have his head for this.
Bates Motel 3.02 The Arcanum Club
Norma is so annoying. How is it that she and Sheriff are on an intimate basis? Romero is such a good guy, I wonder why he's always putting up with Norma. She's going to weaken him since they've both been covering up for Norman. Romero needs to see the light, and quick! His job needs to be straight, and involving himself with Norma is going to taint his reputation as the town's sheriff.
Norma is suffocating and suppressing Norman's condition. Covering up everything isn't going to be enough anymore; look her dead body is in the lake now! Somebody will find the dead prostitute and it will tie back to Norman somehow. I wonder if Norman drowned her because he couldn't have run her over, especially since she's undressed.
Dating Emma may occupy his extra time, but she may be next if she's not careful. I know with the homeschooling and time spent at the motel, that leaves a very small window for Norman to be alone. I think the only sane one in all of this is Dylan, but his crazy father (and now neighbour from south of the hill) is pulling him away from home. I think Dylan and Emma are the only ones who can "save" whatever is left of Norman's humanity. Hopefully they're not sacrificed for a lost cause.
