Tokyo Ghoul √A

Hey Guys,

the first season of ‘Tokyo Ghoul’ got me very fast, but the second season ‘Tokyo Ghoul √A’ is not so convincingly. When i started watching the second season i hadn’t read the Manga yet. So i can’t say if it is better or not as that. But what i can say is that the Anime is going a differnet way than the Manga.

Kaneki

The last season endend with Kaneki on a crossroad. He thinks that he needed to change and do bad things when it is for the rigth reasons.
So he eat Jason, who had tortured him and joins the group Aogiri. This decision is not really explained. It kinda comes out of nowhere. Jason, who also was a member of the Aogiri tortured him and Kaneki accepts not is Ghoul part but Riz from which he has the organs. This is a big differents. So he beginns to eat Jason, but why he came from that to joining the same group is behind me. I am sure that it has something to do with protecting who is important to him. Because if that is not the case it doesn’t get along with the character we already knew.
But we got very, very little scense with him.

Antique

We see alot about Toka and Himori. It is alot talking and very slow. Toka is not one of my favorite but it is alot about the girls living with Kanekis decision. Nishiki is getting also very little screen time.
But i definitly want more of Hide. He seems to know alot more than he let on. For me it is clear that he heart the conversation in the first season from Kaneki and the owner of the Antique. So he knows that Kaneki is a Ghoul. But it seem like i am the only one that seems to see it that way.

Alot of unanswered questions

We got alot new characters and the backstories are mostly really amazing. But i am sad that the old characters fall into the background and we got not enough information about the new persons. So much doesn’t make sense. Why are so many humans now Ghouls? Why would anyone do something like that? What has the whole storyline from the first part of the second season to do with the second part which is emotionally amazing and really good. Also it brings us characters back to the person they were.

Watching or not

Truth be told. If a season 3 will come i will be watching. This season was big let down for me. It is not that apparently the story is different form the Manga. I have no problem with that. My problem is that the decision is not logic and that we don’t get an explaination for it. We got so many new characters so many plotlines that ends nowhere. The last part of the season is emotionally bringing me down. It is final that makes my cry and break down it is for me the niveau of the first season but it doesn’t conacted with the first part of this season for me? Why is Kaneki now going back when we not even know he even started to leave. What was the reason for all the characters we never say again and never get really explained like the twins? Why are they Ghouls when they were human. Who made them Ghouls. Have i missed a few episodes? Because all that doesn’t make any sense for me. So yes i would watch it but it is totally a don’t watch this season…

Veronica Mars: Season 1

Hey Guys,

yes i started a new serie (or an old one) Veronica Mars. I had to look into the serie that got a film years later and i saw a lot of sweet gifs of Logan (don’t know how they can exist). From the gifs of the serie i thought Logan should have been my favorite character. A sweet boy… yeah no sweet boy – little asshole is the better discribetation. Of course there is alot more to him than that, but that is another story. Truth be told i know nothing about the serie expect for the fact that Logan and Veronica were characters in it and that there is that chemistry between them and the big question did the end up together. In season 0ne it doesn’t look like it.

First Look

So the first look at the serie is nothing i thought it would be. It is actually a little like a crime serie. The cases Veronica is taking are mostly just teenage problems but there is that big case. The death of her best friend that she wanted to solve even when the murderer had confessed. Okay back to the start. Veronica has some of the cool kids. She was dating the cool guy Duncan and brother of her best friend Lily. Lilys boyfriend is or better was Logan.
Veronicas father was the sheriff and when Lily got killed the sheriff suspect the father of her and Duncan. He couldn’t let that theory go. After a colleague arrest someone the case got closed and Veronicas father lost his job. Veronica got an outsider in the school and this is where we start of. Veronica is a taff girl, who actuelly is really good at making friends.
So who killed Lilly and will Logan and Veronica end up togther?

The group

There is no actuall group. We have Veronica and her best friend Wallace. Wallace is there to get the school files of the students for her. Than there is one of my favorite characters, who sadly have not enough screen time – Weevil. He is the leader of a motor bike gang. One of the big bad guys, who are actually really nice. He helps Veronica out a lot with infos or a little backup.
Later we also have Mac or Cindy, who is computer expert and does the hacking and programming jobs for Veronica. She is a pretty funny girl with a nice style.
Of course there is also Logan. Logan does provide help for Veronica. He is more of trying to annoy her the most he can. He and Veronica have a little war going on between them.
Than there is Meg, who is a really sweetheart. She is kinda the nicest girl in school and really popular. She can like everything – okay she can’t but she is doing a lot of stuff – muscial, news reader, cheerleader and so on.
The characters are all very sweet and loveable. Just Duncan is for me not really sympatic. He is way to passive. Yes, Logan is an asshole but he knows when he is done something wrong. He doesn’t hide that he is an asshole. He just hide that he has a really kind heart. He is the typicall teenage boy that tries so hard to be cool. After his girlfriends death he is getting even worse.

Watching or not?

When i would be still a teenager than this would totally one of my favorite series. Maybe the big mystery case would even be a mystery. Don’t get me wrong i don’t know what really happend. But the conlusions Veronica draws are things i suspected at least three episodes before her. So the story is nice and good but nothing that really can surprise me – maybe the finale can.
But the characters grow on you so fast. I love Weevil and Logan is growing on my every episode. In the second part of the serie he and Weevil are my favorite persons.
So good story. Even better characters. This is totally a go and watch the serie.

Htgawm: Season 2

Hey Guys,

yes i am really good at getting up to date here not just with Htgawm but everything else. I can’t tell you much about the season. One reason is that i totally forgot more than half of it before i watched the last few episodes. So here just a few words. After that amazing first season i had really high expectations for the next season and like most times when you have such high expectations it just don’t met up. The story this time is not getting me. It is kinda boring how Michaela got involved with the main suspect like Wes did in the first season. The whole Wes story is for me not really interessting. I don’t even get why we get so much about him. I want more about Connor, Oliver, Asher or Michaela… even alot more about Bonnie would be nice.
The season is for me a let down. With the first season i had to watch every episode when it is out… here i saw the last three episode one day after season three started.
This doesn’t mean that the story is bad. The serie is still good. I just hope that the third season isn’t built up the sameway the other two are.
The characters are the main reason for me to watch the show. Asher is getting a bigger role this season and i really love to see him as a real part of the group.
Also one of the best things these seasons are Michaela and Connor. Their friendship is the best thing about this season. Oliver is amazing and i am happy to hear that in season three he will even be main cast.

So yeah i am here for the characters… hopefully the next season will be not the same.

Goodbye Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (this contains spoilers for season 3)

Hey Guys,

it hurts me to actually say this, but i am done with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and will not watch the fourth season. I loved the serie from the beginning and my love only grew stronger. We had 2 1/2 amazing seasons. I know what many of you will think now. Just because they killed Ward…
But Wards death – even when this death made me cry the most and heartbroken – was not the reason for this. I found the idea of a creature like Hive in a head like Ward interessting and in away they were very simular. I know why people think the end of Hive wasn’t strong enough… that he turned in the background and that Lincolns death would be more important. I don’t say you are not right. I love Lincoln but later to that – now i want to talk about Ward. My lovely Ward. The end was for me in away perfect because we saw Hive understanding something. He understood that the connection he created wasn’t a real connection. He understood that the real connection was what Lincoln shared with the humans. We saw Hive tell Lincoln that he just wanted to make the world a better place and yes look at the world. The world is a terrible place. There is war and death and people killing each other. We hate on each other for being different. He wanted to change this. He wanted the world a better place. He did it the wrong way. He did everything wrong for this to happen. But he didn’t knew better. He just didn’t knew better. Ward wanted to make up with his team. He tried to earn back this family but he did it in the wrong way. In all the wrong ways but he didn’t knew better.
Ward and Hive got created be other people. They got tortured and manipulated and were very lonley. All they wanted was a connection, a family, not being alone. Ward and Hive were so much alike. This end showed it to me how simular they were and it made me so sad… because Lincoln understood that Hive wanted to make it better… and i just think all the time what would have happend if Hive or Ward really had someone who cared enough about them and to show him how love function, how relationships work. They both could have made the world a better place.
And that is the reason i watched the show… it is one of the reason.

I watched S.H.I.E.L.D. because i love this organisation. They are so right and so wrong at the same time. They want the right things and always do it the wrong way. They want peace and protection but using the new power to create weapons. They have people like Black Widow and Hawkeye working for them – they are for the kill. Every freaking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent has blood on his hands. This organisation is not good and it is not bad either. This is totally a gray area and every step can kipp the balance in one direction. That was the good thing about the serie. It always showed us that they are not the good ones. They showed us hope. I still remember Wards face when he realized that he just had saved Mike. That he could actually do more than killing. We saw the characters grow… we saw them falling. We saw them failing and winning.

The serie doesn’t make often the things i wanted to see but the character developement was always logic… and i could live with it. I actually loved the serie more for making me hate Coulson. And really in the midseason final of season three i really hated him. He became a person i couldn’t like anymore. A person that gave the victim back to his abuser, a person that wanted to delete their memories to make them better… he just got the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
All characters were so human… they had their flaws not to little… it was amazing to watch them deal with everything. I loved to hate them, i loved to love them. I cried for them and i screamed for them, i discussed about them.
Nothing can take that from me. The 2 1/2 half season were amazing and i will always love them and will always hold them close as my favorite serie.

But the serie made me hate Coulson and it made me hate May. The serie took Jemma and let her fall…she became so dark and really i love her and i understand her but the moment Jemma decided to kill someone in cold blood… i was so disapointed in her… she was a light… it wouldn’t be so bad if they hadn’t made Skye into a younger May.
When May took her training she made her into an agent…but Skye never was an agent. She was their light and their hope. She took the darkness and made it into light. She never looked at the dark, she always went looking for the light. She believed in the good of people, she believed power can change things, she believed that she can change things. Skye was so strong and Ward trained her to survive… he didn’t made her into a real agent… he let her be Skye.
May told her to keep calm to don’t let the feelings out… this wasn’t Skye anymore. When she started using the name Daisy i refused to call her that. But than was that episode were she told Lincoln that everyone should be turned that there shouldn’ be a cure for it. The episode were she went to interigate someone and used her power… that was the moment Skye died. Everything Skye believed in, everything she was… for me she lost it all in that moment. She became what she never wanted to be and that was the moment i accepted her name. That moment she became Daisy and Daisy is not a person i care about. Skye was… and yes maybe that is unfair. Because what ever Ward did i stood with him. But she wasn’t alone… she had so many friends, she had a family… I don’t hate her and i don’t want to made her the bad guy… she just isn’t my Skye anymore… Ward was always the broken boy for me that need to follow orders…

Since we all know that Ward died. It left me with not many people i care about. Bobbi and Hunter left the show. Lincoln died for Daisy…and i am really tired of watching people dying for Daisy… guys that is not a purpose… get a real life… but instead you go and save the earth… damm heros…

So i still care about Fitz. But Fitz is now happy with Jemma and this can be an end for me. As much i loved Fitz, i loved him the most with Ward or Hunter… were he grew above himself… and i will miss this so much…

I will miss the show. I will miss all the characters. But it is time for me. It is time… i hated that seeing the future thing and the every inhuman has a purpose thing (for obvious reasons) and i hated this who is going to die play… so all characters i care about are gone, dead or happy. So this is a ‘good’ end. For everyone who still love the show i hope that it will stay that way. I hope that you all have alot of fun with the show.

I would love to hear a few of your opinions abut the season final…about the characters. So feel free to write me! Please i love to write about this show about this characters. And i will always stand with Grant Ward. You were an amazing character. You were the most gray character i ever say. Grant Ward the broke boy that never had a real chance in life…rest in peace. You were from the first moment until the last moment my favorite character.

Goodbye Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. thank you for this serie, for this characters and thank you for Grant Ward.

This is us: Pilot

Hey Guys,

i watched the trailer of This is us month ago and didn’t even remember what it was about. But somehow the name stayed in my head and when i read at seriejunkie.de that the wrote about the pilot remembered that i thought maybe watch this show. This is what i did to day. There are so many serie i need to watch but this is just one episode out and so i thought let’s just watch this.

Crying like a baby

This show got me from the start. It is not a fantasy story or a crime serie. It is not big drama (at least not now). It is just life. It is a story about four people who all share the same birthday. The pilot is just taking us to the day of their birthday, their 36 birthday. They all have a life and their problems. The whole atmosphere they are creating with the characters, the pictures and the music is amazing and really emotional.
This serie made me cry. Okay it is not so much nessassary for me to cry… but this serie get me to the characters and made me love them from the first moment. It is just beautifull.

I just don’t want to tell you to much. Because i believe it would take something from the episode. So you should just watch it and see it for yourself. The characters are so lovely and well written. My favorite parts are the twins that are totall different. Kate is part of a suport group for adiposity and Kevin is a actor with sixth pack in a sitcom. But the conaction and the bond between them is so amazing and lovely. They are so great and sweet together.

You see that i tell you again and again the same. The pilot totally got me and i will watch the serie. So i hope that all the other episode are like the first one. Go and watch this serie because Kevin is right we need to expect more from our series. We are the publicum… we decide what we see and what we get. So start this. This is us…

DW: Exotron

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 95 big finish main range adventure Exotron that featured the fifths Dotor and Peri. It takes place on distant outpost of earth, AHistory is setting it around 2350 somewhere before the Macra Terror. For the Doctors timeline it is somewhere before they met Erimem or after. Anyway Erimem is not part of the Story and they don’t explain were she is.

They protect us

This is beautifull story about missunderstanding about language in many ways. On that outpost of earth are of course humans, but there are als the Farakosh that don’t comunicate like humans. The humans just see them as danger and animals. Than there are the Exotrons. The are devoleped to protect the humans from the Farakosh. But is this really that simple? It never is. They are in a way three species that don’t understand each other. The just reacted to things without thinking what it would look like to the other.
This whole things to we got in a smaller version. Because it goes about a two people that loved each other on some point of their life. She got an affair and the got devorced. All this because of the undoubtly point that comunication is really complicated.

Atmosphere

The Story is really good. I like the themes and it works pretty well. The way the story is told serves to see the simualars between the little situation and the bigger situation. I love how the make this story about love without telling a love story. But something is missing. I don’t get in the story and i don’t know why. Because i like everything about the story. But it is like there is just no spark. I can’t tell you why this is.

B-Side: Urban Myths

The Story is a really nice idea, but i really dislike almost everything about it. Three time lords eats lunch and discuss about the event that lead to the discusion to kill the Doctor. Everytime the tell a little different story. The first time has a WTF-Moment when the tell a story were the Doctor isn’t acting like we know him. You asking yourself what is happend there… it doesn’t make seens like that. But we just get the same story just a little more like the Doctor and again… I don’t know, you wait for something big and different than in the end you just get a story were the Doctor is like always. I am not a fan of stories like that. I hated the endless loop episode of Supernatural…

Beijing – Hot Pot

Hey Guys,

maybe it is not quite usual to say that the best thing in a town was the dinner but Hot Pot was special.

First of all what is Hot Pot?

Hot Pot has something from Fondue. You have a big pot not with fat but with some sort of sauce. We had to different versions. You can have pot with one ‘sauce’ or with two different ‘sauce’ in one pot. You can choose different ‘sauce’. We had one half of the pot with a mild milk combination and the other was a spicy one. Like the name says this get hot like the fat when you do fondue.
Then you can choose alot of different staff to throw into the pot. Just to say a few things: sweetcorn, tofu, meat (more like bacon), noodles, eggs and leaves.
But that was not all. Then you got a little soup and different sauces that you can mix on your own. Also you got melone to eat until everything is ready.

How to eat

This is really simple. You throw everything in there and wait until it is ready than you fish for it and took in one of the sauces and than you eat it. It is really delicious.

Happy Hot Pot

We were two times at the same restaurant, because it was just so much fun there. Most Hot Pot restaurants let you do all that stuff on your own. At the place we were they make alot for you. The make sauces for you (you can still make your own if you want) and throw the stuff in for you. At first we thought why would him bring us here. But than we had like ten different sauce from them. They came and asked questions. They were all really sweet and really interessted. They have little presents for you and when you sit long enough you get a lot of stuff for trying.
But the most special thing is that you can let them dance for you. It is really sweet and funny to watch them dance gangnam style.
It was one of the nicest evenings in beijing.

Torchwood – Zone 10

Hey Guys,

welcome to the newest Big Finish Torchwood adventure ‘Zone 10’. This time we get our lovely Toshiko Sato back. So this have to play before the end of season 2. I would say it plays before the episode they met the real Captain Jack Harkness. Because she tells them that she hadn’t seen her family in years, but in this episode she gets ready to go to the birthday of her father. So when this isn’t a mistake, than Torchwood makes sure that she will see her family again.

First Solo Mission

The radio signal that Tosh is investigating says ‘Toshiko Sato the truth is in Zone 10’. This signal is over 40 years old. So long before Tosh was born. But she feels like it is for her and when you look at what the signal means, she is right. So she travels alone to russia to find the truth. The Story is simple and not really surprising. Of course everything has in the end to do with the Comitee.

I love Tosh and i want more adventures with her but this adventure is not feeling so familiar as the other storys. When you her the others you are feeling like your characters you love back. But with Tosh there is something missing. I don’t know what is. Maybe because she is not so good at the radio thing like the others. Or it is just to long i saw Tosh in action. The last time i watched Torchwood is a few years ago…maybe that is the reason. The only thing i know is that something is missing. But i hope that Tosh is coming back for other adventures and that this feeling will be gone than.

DW: Lethbridge-Stewart – the forgotten son

Hey Guys,

here it comes the first book of the new serie Lethbridge-Stewart or the Havoc Files. Like the name says it is about Lethbridge-Stewart so what can go wrong?

What is it about

For everyone who didn’t heart about it yet. The serie plays after the events of ‘The Web of fear’. This is his way to becoming the Brigadier and building UNIT. Which is a lovely idea. The Brigadier is an amazing character and one of the most important character in the arc of the third Doctor. So war he is also with Sarah Jane Smith the one that has seen the most reincarnations of the Doctor. I don’t know rigth now if the sixth Doctor met the Brig but one to five and the seventh of met the Brig – and that is just the tv serie. To make a serie about the person who not just become a close friend to the Doctor but also his boss, is an amazing idea – yes i know i said that before and it will be not the last time. Because the Brig is one of my all time favorites.
So the first book took place right after ‘The Web of fear’. When the Doctor left the town was still a mass. They people left behind had to clean up after the incident. The Brig is the one that is responisble for the repopulation of London.

Old enemies

The first case has to do with the Great Intellegent and the past of the Brig (in this story he is just an colonell but he just call him always Brig or the Brigadier). Best thing about the book is not the story itself, which is be no means bad, but the best thing is that we got to know more about the Brig, about his past, his daily life and his fiancee.
The most negative about the book is the way it is written. This story as way to many perspectives. We have the Brig, a dead soldier, the Brigs mom, an old friend of the Brigadier and twins and you look through everyones eyes. Which is making us understand the person itself better but it is just to much for me.

But you got a good feeling for all the characters. You like or dislike them. But there isn’t a character that seems flat. And a few of the characters will cross the Brigs way many times.

Close to the serie?

What is good and on the same time not, is that they actually are very close to the New Who serie. So it is mentioned that the Great Intelligence is followed everywhere by procelin girl – Clara Oswald. But that also means that they took also his last salute to the doctor. Which I really hate because I want to forget that it ever happens. This is destroying cybermen and the Brigadier.

But everyone who love the Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart should read that book.
