Once upon a time: Charming and Snow

Hey Guys,
it is time that i tell you a bit about Once upon a time. They people, which follow me on tumblr know that i watched it a lot and i wrote little comments to it, but nothing more and to be truthful i don’t want to write you what i think about the serie. If you don’t have to say something good, say better nothing.
I watched so it is not totally true. It has something good. Amazing characters – or one amazing character. That would be Regina Mills, but i learnt to love the others too. But that is the reason why i will talk about the persons and not about the seasons. I will do it in pairs. Regina and Robin, Hook and Emma, Rumple and Belle. Of course we also have to talk about Charming and Snow. But for everyone that love them, i am not a big fan of them so this will be not nice talk, but also i hope it will not be bashing.

We start with that part. Charming and Snow…

Love Story

They are  the typical lovestory of Disney. Nothing can stand between them (or not for long). They will always choose each other and their love is so strong and everything… They are the most judging people i ever seen on TV.This perfect pair things that every on have to live their live the way they live. The know everything better. Their way to live is not the best, they are so many ways to live and be happy. They talk about forgiveness and second chances, but they don’t give them to anyone – not really. Regina is the best example.

Trust isuess

The worst was, when Emma and Snow were in the Enchanted Forest. Charming trusted Regina with a lot of things. He called her when he needed someone to watch out for Henry. He let her help find a solution to bring them back. When Reginas love comes back from the dead, he trusted her  enough to let her talk to him  alone and making the right choice – to kill him. Don’t get me wrong i love him for the decision to let her deal with it, because she needed this. But after Emma and Snow are back, Regina isn’t truthworthy anymore, she shouldn’t see Henry at all and have no feelings.

Looking down

That is how family Charming is seeing the world. They have each other… Regina is alone. But that is another theme.
In the third season, the first part they are at their worst point. The Pan thing is also from the story the best season. But back to the point Charmings way of talking to Hook in that part is … i don’t find the right word… it showed us a really idiotic charming with no tolerance.

getting better

In the second part they got better. At first i thought it would be cruel to make Regina live with them in her castle… but the way they do it, or the way Snow do it, makes this a good thing. They really treated her as family – even without Henry remembering. This is the first time they really gave someone a second chance and i like the dynamic between Snow and Regina that started with that. But also in this part of the season, they are so doubting and judging. This judging things Charming sad to Hood, when Hook told them that he will stay a pirate. But the first thing is that they are really doubting Hook. Hook never betrayed them. But they are doubting him so often this season it is bad.
In the last season i have to see they get uninteresting. I like the way Regina is treated now as family, but apart from that i would watch the serie without them.

DW: Destiny of the Doctor – Vengeance of the Stones

This audio book is the 3rd part with the third doctor of the ‘Destiny of the Doctor‘- Serie and it is read by Richard Franklin and Trevor Littledale. It plays in the Doctors UNIT time and i would say it plays after Liz is going to leave the Doctor and before Jo will take his part. This is the story how the Brig and the Doctor will meet Mike Yates. Bentons role is sadly not big.

UNIT is needed

UNIT get called after two jets just disapears. Of course the Brig and Doctor are on the scene and they work really closly with Mike Yates – who we all know.
The most fun of this story is the relationship of the Brig and the Doctor. The Doctor is saying something and the Brig let him do what ever he wants and than behind the back of the Doctor he is doing the opposite. This is who the work and why we love them so much. So the audio book is doing a good thing here. The characters are in Character and lovly as ever.

Aliens against humanity

The Doctor founds out about the stone circle and the alien that are behind it. This aliens take Mike to get information to fight against the human. They hate them and want revenge for all the people that died thousands of years ago. The Doctor is trying to talk them out of it. Because all that humans that did this are not alive anymore. But when he had a step forward UNIT is stepping in and is ready to take weapons to save Mike.
This is where everything will go complicated.
They are UNIT which wants to save the earth and do this with fighting against this aliens and the aliens what to fire their superweapon at the humans. But the Doctor get form himself the job to find another solution.

Fazit

It is on of the best of this serie. The characters are fun and everyone that love Mike Yates most hear this audio book, because this is the beginning of Mike Yates in UNIT. I can only recommand that.

SJA: What happend to Sarah Jane Smith

This episode is with Maria as the huge part. Sarah Jane get arreased from the world. Nobody remembers her only Maria. Maria is standing for a whole new world. There is no Luke and she and Clyde are no friends. Andrea Yates is living in Sarah Janes House.

Nobody believes her but she doesn’t give up. She search for something to do. Because there is a meteor that will be crashing into the earth. Sarah Jane is the only one, which can stop it. Maria finds out that Sarah Jane died when she was thirteen and Andrea was with her. It was a tragic exident. Whatever happend should have happend Andrea. But she turned the place with Sarah Jane. She was the one dying as this creature overed her a deal to survive, she choose to live and Sarah Jane died.

When Maria was getting behind it. Andrea let take Maria away to. So everyone is forgetting her. But her father didn’t (he get the protection Maria had). He is father and he will do everything to got her daughter back.

Sarah Jane tells her, that she never was forgotten. That everything Sarah Jane did, she did because that day she saw how fragil the life is. She lived her love with Andrea in her memory, her best friend.

When she hears that, Andrea take the deal back and saved the earth. But this also brings them to a point where Marias father knows about aliens. So we will deal with him knowing in the next epiosde.

The Flash: S01x09 – The man in yellow suit

Hey Guys,
welcome to the mid-season final of the Flash. The Story is giving us here really much. I don’t know the comics and so on but i read the review of someone, who did and so get to know a few things and get what they bring in here. Okay know we need a point to start and i think we start with that:

What would i give up for a few minutes with him?

One of the best part of the episode is the part with Caitlin, who became here a little more time. She is finding Ronnie, who survived and now firestorm is. She wants to help him and we see her struggel with everything. Also we see more of the friendship between her and Cisco, what should definitly have more room in the episodes.
We see what it looks like in Caitlin. It broke my heart but it is also one of my favorite scenes where she tells Cisco of the game she plays in her head. She would have give anything for a few more minutes with him. But when she have she wished she hadn’t.
I am really sure that we haven’t seen the last of him and i am not sure on which side he will be when they met again.

Reverse-Flash

I know it! Just saying. So the yellow flash who killed Barrys mother is coming back and shows Barry that he is not the fastest man alive and is also not ready for that fight. Barry is of course to emotional, he is lead by his anger and his fear. He don’t have a chance against him. But more important are to other things first of all the little hints about time travel. It starts with the things the reverse flash says, that they are doing this for years. Than Cisco is hinting that there is another fast man, when Barrys mother get killed. Barry say yellow and red lighting and this is what Cisco saw when the reverse-flash and the flash were fighting against each other. It also makes clear why Barry was found out on the street. Why should the reverse-flash get him out? For me it is clear that in that romm Barry was fighting with the yellow flash. Time Travel.
And the last is that we found out that Doctor Wells is the reverse-flash. He is having a ‘computer’ which tells him the newspapers from the future. So again time travel also he is there when the reverse-flash goes into the trap, so the only explanation is time travling.

Stuck here

After the fight with the yellow flash, he feels like failing his father. What brings us to a really important scene where his father tells him that Barry must let go. The whole episode shows us something Barry is still living in that living room. His whole life is dicated by that. Barry seems to understand it. He goes and tells Iris what he is feeling and maybe now he can start moving on. But this feeling the yellow -flash is wake in Barry stays. That is the point where Joe is telling Barry that he shouldn’t let the darkness in for him.
Barry is a really strong character. Oliver always tells that his life is so much darker and so than Barrys and yeah Oliver lost very much. But Barry also lost his mother. He was there and his father goes into prison for it. He lost his whole family in one day and nobody believes him and what he saw. He is stuck and he let so many chances go away because he can let go of that day but also he still sees the good in the world. He still is full of energy, of laughter, and smiles. He is still full of light. I understand why Oliver is like that, but it shows that Oliver is strengh is only from his body and Barrys strengh comes from his soul.
That is a reason i love Barry so much. He is full of light, full of believes and energy and i hope he will never lose it.

So we go in that break with so much potential for the next episodes. What is the plan of Doctor Wells, what game is he playing. Ronnie is alive and can comeback anytime. Than there is the time travel thing and Eddie is knowing about the metahumans and that Joe knows who the Flash is. Also we don’t want to forget that Wenthworth Miller is still out there and waiting to come back.

Aos: S02x10 – What they become

So guys,
here we are the mid-season final of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and what do we have to say? My babies are all getting hurt and this is just the middle of everything. So where do we start?

Hunter and Bobbi

Bobbi gives herself the fault for what happend to Mac. That is pretty understandble and makes her – to me a lot more sympatic – but her actions after that, make me go a step away. I am a little like Hunter. I don’t love her, or like her very much, but i definitly didn’t trust her. Hunter didn’t trust her either. He finds her search Macs garage and take a harddrive(?). She didn’t want to tell him about and try to overplay it. But Hunter did see it, but he decide to be there for her. So we see them work together in this episode and it is nice. But i like him more in other combinations.
What is Bobbi planning. I think it’s clear that is actually something bigger than being pregnant – this is a theory i have seen a lot on the i-net, i don’t get how the came up with it. More important is, what ever it is, which side will be Hunter on?

Family reunion

Skye meets her father. She hates her father and she shows this in everyway she can. But her father just take it and tries to go from that. He tells her about her mother and what he was going through. He is a really good bad guy. He has reason for what he is doing and you can to a point understand him. But what i really hate about it, is that here comes a little of the old Skye through i loved. She beginns to see him a little different, what will be a really interessting dynamic in the future. But she is ready to see the reason of everyone except Ward. This is really … yes he hurt her. But really what did her father do, when he tries to kill Coulson or what he did to Trip? Or how he tried to manipulated her into going down there and change? But Ward is so bad…

Ward needs to move on

I love Ward and i am sure everyone knows that be now, because i tell you that every epsiode and i will do it again. Also i know that all that is totally in character but his fixation on Skye is getting on my nervs. Of course he wants her back and he actually believes that he can do it. But he needs to let go and i hope we will see another side of him know. He has a lot more potential and just saying that he has a really interessting relationship with Fitz with should be a focus again.
After he holds all his promises and saved Skye again. She shoots him and i hope that will make him let go a little bit. But the important thing is agent 33. He has a conversation with her about her reason to do things. It seems like he sees himself a little in her and after Whittehals death, Ward take her with him. So the question is what did he wants. Is he seeing himself in her and wants really to find a way to live or is he becoming like his abuser and manipulate her into working for him.

The change

Skye goes down to stop Raina, but she is to late. Coulson is not in time in that stone room but Trip is there and that also is the dramatic death. Actually a good finte. We all were fixated on what happend to Mac and if he could survive it and than they kill Trip. Trips death is a sideeffect of the reaction of the Obilisk. It turned everything to stone – Skye, Raina and Trip. But Skye survives it and will maybe have powers now, also i think that Raina survived to. But Trip not. To destroy all hope for him to survive this, we see the statue break. So we have a new superhero with a guilt complex?
Don’t be angry with me, but i am actually happy that it was Trip and not Mac. I know everyboby loved Trip, but i never get warm with him. Also i want to see more of the secret Bobbi and Mac have.

The last thing

Fitzsimmons is on his way back. We see them in the same room working together, but more important is the conversation between them. Jemma is thinking about a way that Mac survived this. Fitz is seeing this has Jemma being nice to him because Mac was important to him. But than he sees that Jemma actually is right and i think this is the moment they actually get a little closer again. He still has the feeling that he needs to prove himself. Back the can work together and get what the other is talking about and at the end they are hugging – Fitz is protecting Jemma again. This could be the new start we all wished for them. Also with Trips death, Jemma will need someone and i really hope that Fitz is helping her through that time.

So, we have to wait a long time for the next episode. Next year will first start Agent Carter. Actually i don’t know if i want to see it, but it is part of everything so i must?!

The Librarians: Pilot

Hey Guys,
like i said i watched into the pilot of the new serie the Librarians. Before i tell you what i actually think about it, i will tell you that I will not watch another episode of it and i didn’t watch any of the movies. So it is not on my watch list. So… lets start

The Characters

So we have the librarian Flynn Carsen which is a little arogant at first, a little crazy and not good with people. He wants to work alone and don’t want any help. Than we have an antiterror agent, who give up her job in a minute to work as a Bobyguard for Flynn, which she don’t really and he don’t want one. She just aceppt that whole thing. Magic good, secret library okay, ninjas why not, steal the crown juwels yeah okay.
So before talk more about it we come to the other characters.
We have the sweet girl, which is ill named Cassandra Cillian. She is seeing things what looks a little stupid, but she is sweet and bring a picknickbasket to there search.
Than we have the young asian thief Ezekiel Jones. As long as he can steal things everything is allright. The last one is a cowboy Jake Stone. They are all really stereotype. Somethings make you smile but there is nothing new, nothing what makes you fall in love with this characters.

Time

It happens really much in that serie. The bad guys want to change the world, what they did in a way. They brought magic back, the library is lost, and Cassandra betrayed them and now is back already and so on so. Everything you could have done, they did in the first two episode. The betray of Cassandra is nothing that really gets one, because they know each other for what two hours? Why should she risk her life for them. Also that love story between the agent and Flynn unessassary and where did it come from? Really i didn’t get any of that. All this could have been emotional if we had more time to do this things, but we didn’t so. There was no surprise about the betray and everyone that have seen the start picture knows that Cassandra will be part of the librarians. We know Flynn will not die. So there is no real tension. It just stagnate and it is not interessting.

The idea

I like the idea of magic and saving the world and everyone that like series like that, should look into it. It is not a worse serie, i have seen worse but also alot better things. Maybe it needs more time, but i don’t want to give it more time because the last serie i gave time, really disapointed me so. This will not be on my watchlist but maybe it is something for you.

I would really happy when you tell me what you thing about the serie.

SJA: Eye of the Gorgon

Clyde brings them to a hunted house. Maria is at home and her mother is visting again. So she fights with her mam. Her Mam don’t want her to not hang out with Sarah Jane and Luke. Her father tries to be there for her and she is angry because he is just so calm about it. He is finished about it but Maria is not. That is what i love about sience fiction series. The real world problems. It is not easy to go through the divorce and this is really good shown in here.

When her father is turned to stone and Maria lose it. She was so strong all that time and know she lose it and gave Sarah Jane the fault for it. Of course she doesn’t really think that but is so human and it is really amazing.

Clyde and Luke beginn to form a friendship. They have totally different ways to deal with things but i think that makes them a really good team.

Flash: 01×08 – Flash vs Arrow & Arrow: S03x08 – The Brave and the Bold

Hey Guys,
welcome to my nightmare the crossoverevent of the Flash and Arrow. This is the reason i wanted to be up to date with Arrow when i start the Flash. But yeah you all know that i am still in season 2. Of course i will also watch the Arrow part now, because it wouldn’t make sense to don’t to it. Even it doesn’t have exactaly something to do with the Flash episode. But we will come to that.

Barry negativ developement

I hate to say it, because i love Barry. He is so sweet and loveable but we saw it in the episode before that he is happy about problem in the relationship between Eddie and Iris and that is not a bad thing, but in this episode is active trying to make them break up. Activ is a little overstated. But he is stir up the conflict and i really dislike that. Also you all now i am not a big fan of the pair Barry x Iris. But later more to the Iris conflict.
The meeting with the Arrow is showing us another negativ developement from Barry. He feels superior. He has powers and nothing can do him something. He always get the job done. But the Arrow is right. Barry is fast and he has time to do it probably. But he don’t believe it is necessary.

Team Arrow

It is sweet to see Barry and his hero together and that gleam in his eyes. I love Felicity working with the other together again. Also Diggle is kinda funny. How doesn’t get over Barrys power. Also we see the conflict. Team Arrow is a dark thing. Oliver killed people to get what he wants and i also was his own methodes to get information. They are a darker version of the Flash Team. Oliver doesn’t see himself as a hero. He just do what must have done.
Barry and his team don’t go over body – excapt from Doctor Wells. They are the so much ligther version of the Arrow team. But Barry sees it different and i love him for that.

Barry underbad influencey

So the guy that can make people angry is fighting with Barry and Barry loses. He gets angry very angry. First he goes against Caitlin and hurt her with saying that she should stop doing like he is Ronnie. Caitlin is so sweet and Barry is the one that always can make her smile again. She doesn’t see Ronnie in him, but he is afraid of losing someone again. I am afraid Ronnie is still alive and not on the good side. The last scene i am pretty sure was Ronnie…
He also picks a fight with his Boss and Joe but the worst part is that he goes after Eddie. This result in two or three things. First of all Eddie can make a taskforce to go after the Flash. Second Iris is stopping believing in the Flash and tird Eddie and Iris are closer than ever.
I like that developement because it shows something. Something Barry tells in his anger. She never knew him, she never really understands him. I think that is true. Of course Barry is important to her and i think she sees him as her best friend and maybe even like a little brother. But she never says what is really inside him and that has for me more potental than anyother thing in there relationship.
Also the Arrow proves his point to Barry. Because he wins against Barry. Because he sees the whole and Barry just runs into it.

When friends visit

So Caitlin and Cisco are doing a short trip to Starling City to see the Arrow Cave. They are so much fun and i love them to interact with all the other team members. The met Roy for the first time and yeah i looked forward to it. Cisco win his heart over really fast. I love the faces Roy make in this episode. Also i love the team work between Roy and Oliver. So yeah it is much fun to watch this.

Differents between Arrow and the Flash

We see the dark version and the light version of the team. Oliver is right and wrong in the same time. The world is a dark place and all the people out there, you can’t reason with them. You just can’t, give it him the right to torture? No of course not. But Ollie is knowing this. He wills like everytime he trade for a piece of themself. This is one reason i think Felicity and Oliver should be together. But this is a different theme. Oliver lost so much and of course Barry lost his mother to. His life is not so dark like Olivers. It really seems like Cisco says it is like for them it is like a game and here it is reality.
The last episode the Arrow came to teach the Flash and this episode the Flash came to remind Arrow that there is more to him than Arrow. He has a team. He has friends and he is Oliver Queen. Oliver Queen can inspire people, he just needed to reminded that he could.

So in the end i have to say i love this crossover event and i hope we see the team interact and work together alot more times.

The Musketeers: Season 1

Hello Guys,

i started watching The Musketeers when the first broadcast on TV. But i had problems at that time with watching without interruptions – of loading. So i stopped watching and waited for the DVD and here we are.

Reason to watch

First of all the first episode was just what we thought it will be. It was nothing special, nothing different from what we know. The problem is everyone knows one version of the Musketeers. So there is not much what you can do to surprise. So why watch this?
For me it where three things. One of them is Peter Capaldi as the Cardinal – the big bad. The sad thing is that Peter is playing know the Doctor (Doctor Who Season 8). He is gourgous.
The second thing is Santiago Cabrera. I know him from the serie Merlin and i wanted to see him again. Also they told me that it should be like Merlin. An old story really different to tell. So maybe it will be after the first episodes.
The third things is the realtionship between Aramis and one of the girls from the Cardinal. Yeah i know she is not long a part in it, but i loved to see this relationship.

Every man for himself

The Story is about the team. But i think that the relationships between them came a little short in the first two episodes. We all know the Musketeers never let some them down. So they can’t play really with that. We know that but we don’t see the bond between. But we see an amazing character with Constanze. She is a strong woman, which not afraid of stand her man. She is to strong to be with such a lame husband without a real own opinion.
It seems like they want to play with that motto ‘Every man for himself’. But they also show that the trust each other and it is lovely to see. I just want to know how the met, how they became so close.

Milady de Winter

So we get to know the past of Athos. Of course it is not new to us that Athos big love was Milady de Winter. But it is a good and tragic story. We have a big inside in Athos and Milady de Winter. So i am not sure what she is upto now. But it seems like she wants to play Athos and D’Artagnan against each other. They relate the story with many feelings and love for details. I don’t know very much about the Musketeers – just the big things everyone knows. So i can’t tell you if the changed something and what they changed.

Behind the mask

Everyone have there past. It is not to dark, not to tragic but not an easy past. They have all there ghost with them. The most i love Aramis and Constance. Aramis is the one that loves easy and is a romantic at heart, but also a player with woman. Constance is a strong woman, she learns to fight with the sword and don’t let her mouth be shut. These characters are loveable and that is what makes us the a serie about the musketeers.
This sweet lovestory between Constance and D’Artagnan is really good. She would do anything for him and i like that D’Artagnan after that break up, don’t go for the Milady. He is young but he has a strong character. He can fast lose is temper but that makes him so sympatic. Athos is the most sealed character of them. With his background of the Milady, you got the best inside of him. But he is a good teacher for D’Artagnan. Phortos is the strong guy with the soft soul. I somehow thinks that he is the most moral of them all. Also the Cardinal has many side and i love to dislike him.
The Queen is also a really sweet. She wants do be usefull, but he just have nothing to say. Her husband wants her dead and she falls for Aramis – but maybe I am wrong about her. Maybe she knows totally what she does and how she gets what she wants. So I am excited what of the sides of her are the real ones.

SJA: Revenge of the Slitheen

So,
Maria and Luke go to the new school. Luke is of course the boy from the first episode Sarah Jane adopted. Luke is totally clueless. Clyde is a boy from school, who is interessted in Maria, but Luke is part of it.  Clyde found Luke special.

Luke feels like he don’t fit into all that. He don’t like school and want to stay at home. This is a problem many people have. He don’t fit in and that is a real society problem. I like Clyde but people like him make it for many people really difficult. But also he is totally interessted in him. He tried to talk with him, but Luke is just special. He doesn’t know anything about society. He has to learn all these things.

Science problems are interessting for him so. His first action on school is to give the Slitheen the solution for there problem.

Clyde  found about the aliens and handle it pretty well. Also he is actually pretty good at seeing the little things.

Sarah Jane did something we know from the Doctor, give them a chance to turn away.

In this episode you see why it is so much deeper than a few Doctor Who epiosdes. The Slitheen has a child with them. At the end they are trapped in the door and will die. The father is begging for his sons live and Sarah Jane wanted to save them. When Clyde was happy that the win, she is saying that it was a child. That is the amazing thing about Sarah Jane Smith.
