Elementary: Season 5

Hey Guys,

I was so happy when Netflix finally had season 5 of Elementary. Like you know when you read my post before (click here for the other article) I love Elementary. The last season was great and I really had high hopes for this season. Some people may already have a feeling what i will say. Season 5 sadly didn’t match my expectation. Of course it was still great but something was missing.

Something Missing

I hate that feeling, when you watch a series and the characters are amazing and the stories are good and you totally in love with the series but somehow the new episodes are still with the amazing characters and still have good stories but they just don’t get you like before. Something is missing. That is what happened here. They are still the characters I love and somehow it feels wrong.
There are to points I actually dislike. First is that at one point Sherlock stopped going to the meetings… and I had the feeling that we were already over that point but before got annoying they let Sherlock see the light.
The second point is the sudden end of a relationship. I don’t think that the breakup is out of character or anything it is that it just came out of the blue.

Dream Team Bell/Sherlock

What I love the most about this season of Elementary are the Bell/Sherlock episodes. They are amazing. I always love when these two work together or their bond deepens. It is beautiful to see how their bond grows and how the open up to each other. I love Joan and Sherlock. But Sherlock built his life around her it is not longer unusual when he opens up to her… it is still beautiful to see the deep trust between Sherlock and Joan. But you know that Sherlock in the end will always tell Joan the truth.
I also love Joan and Marcus. They have a beautiful friendship. Joan will stand up and fight for Marcus and nobody everything something different. When he has problems and she asked about it he most likely will tell her.
But with Sherlock and Marcus things are different. They were in a very rocky place a long time in season two (Elementary S02) but they rebuilt their relationship and I find it really beautiful to see these two persons try to get along, to treat each other with respect and trust.
There are really good episodes in this season. One of the episodes is an episode with them in the last part of the season. We get more about Marcus past.

Joan needs to help

I really like it that they bring up that something is missing for Joan. She was a doctor and then a drug consult (I can’t find the right word), all the job it was about helping people. As a detective things are a little different. The person she made after that her project on the other hand is not really interesting. Shinwell is not really sympathetic or exciting. Just a little boring. But it brings Sherlock in an interesting spot. What would he do for people he believes in or Joan believes in. What would he do for the things he thinks ar justice.
Also it kinda puts Sherlock and Joan on different sides and I really love to see this work out.

Still special

So yes this season of Elementary is totally lacking on a interesting overall story and it just lost something of his magic. But the season was still good. The characters are still amazing and the relationship are still the most important thing in the series. So yeah I still loved the season… and really with that ending. I want the next season really fast, please.

The Resident: First Episodes

Hey Guys,

I looked into the new serie ‘The Resident’. First things first I hate hospital series or better medical series. I don’t know why but they are not my thing. That is actually one of the reason I haven’t started Chicago Meds yet. The reason why never looked more than the first few episode of Saving Hope. It is just not mine. So why do I looked into these serie?
Logan Huntzberger… or better Matt Czuchry.

No that this is sad let’s talk about the serie itself.

Never want to see a Doctor again

The Resident doesn’t do anything new. They are old same stories, but it feels a lot more realistic than others. The best surgeon on the hospital will get you killed because he has a tremble in his hand. The alleged good doctor is an angel of death. In all this comes a young Doctor with all that believes in Medicine and morality… but there is none.
Conrad the ‘good Doctor’ played by Matt Czuchry. Is totally my favorite character. But like i said. He is the good one when it comes to… he really wants to help people. He really wants to heal them, to save them. But to do this he has no borders, no morality. It doesn’t seem so bad because they have these asshole surgeon. But I really hope that this will be a theme of the serie.
They have a few really good characters, we will see what they will do with them.

Watching or not

Like I already said. The Resident didn’t invent the wheel. It is the same old story, the same old characters. But Matt Czuchry does really, really charming. It can be a good serie if they whole this path they are on. But it also could be very boring. Normally I wouldn’t watch more episodes, but I really love to Matt Czuchry again. So I will watch the episode. We will see.

DW: Twice upon a time

Hey Guys,

i finally watched the Christmas Special of Doctor Who – Twice upon a Time. There are many reason that i didn’t watched it before. At first i just forgot my Laptop so i could watch at my parents. Than a friend wrote me that her friend watched and she said that it was full of misogynist jokes. So i just didn’t watch it. Also i had alot of fears about this story and Moffats made them all real.

My favorite Doctor

Truth be told when i got be asked who my favorite Doctor is i still say it is the Tenth Doctor but i love the first one. He was soo different and grumpy and old. He was just not nice. Hartnell was perfect in this role and i was really afraid of what Moffats will do to him. First i think the Actor David Bradley did a really good job. But the way he has written… oh my god… now i hate the first Doctor. In this christmas special he is an misogynist asshole… the jokes are funny. The words ‘young lady’ feel like a … i am missing the word…

The first Doctor was an grumpy old man. Yes but he never talked to Barbara that way. He never talked to Polly – in the episode i could watch – like that. He never talked to Vicki like that. The young lady was mostly for Susan – his granddaugther – when she didn’t do what he says. Was he overprotect of her and sometimes didn’t take her serious. Yes, but this had many reason one is that refused to see that she has grown up. For him she will was be his little granddaugther.

Regeneration

The next think i hate is the Regeneration… the first one didn’t refused to regenerate. He accepted his fate. He knew he was going to die. He died because of old age. He was ready and Moffats just takes that from him.

That Twelfth doesn’t want to regenerate is okay. That i can live with. Than there is this nameless Captain that get involved in all that. And i just liked the idea that this captain was just some guy. At some point the first Doctor asked ‘why he so important’ and the answer was every is important to someone and i really liked this. But than in the end… he isn’t just one random guy. No he is the grandfather of one of the most important person in the Doctors life. Someone that new so many of regenerations and were so good friends… no random here… of course not.

Story with an anticlimax

The story was really weak. I saw the twist with Bill from start and i hate the idea of Testimony. The only thing i liked about it was that there was no evil master plan… i missed this. But Testimony can bring everyone and i really dislike that. We are more than memories. Sometimes you just has to let go of people. It is hard, but YOU have the memories about them. There is no need to bring them all back like that. But yeah we cheated death again… and we could bring back Clara… and Bill. Don’t get me wrong i love Clara and i love it when they bring people back like memories or they met again…

But i can live with the story and i can live with Testimony. Also i can live that Bill and Clara were back for the goodbye of the twelfth Doctor.

Unnessassary

What is way harder to live with is the whole unnessassary bunch of stuff… like Rusty… it so doesn’t make sense. There was so much more but i forget about it while i was writing this stuff… but in the end it doesn’t matter. I really, really dislike this christmas special… oh yeah Polly and Ben were unnessassary too… i don’t mean the original part. I mean the three seconds with new actor who looks totally unreal? Like they are wearing really bad wigs…

So yeah back to what i was saying in the end i am just happy that is over. I wasn’t a big fan of the the Doctor is a woman idea. But i am so ready for it now. She is a great actor and i can’t wait to see what Chibnall is doing with it. Maybe… Doctor will really become one of favorite shows again…

Granblue Fantasy The Animation – Season 1

Hey Guys,

like everytime after the Connichi i have a big Anime and Manga phase. This year it is mostly Anime. I started with Haikyu!!, than Yuri on Ice and Kuroko no Basket (yes i will write about them too). Than i landed on this one ‘Granblue Fantasy’.

Fantasy the way i love it

This story is playing in totally amazing fantasy world. They made a whole world that you have to explore which so much room for a lot of adventures and sidestories. I really miss such Series so much. Of course the story is like most times the mysterious girl that has mysterious powers and finds people who join her on her adventure. I love mostly the world and the characters about this show. The story is good but nothing amazing or new. A story we have seen in thousand different ways. But the character are sweet and caring and it is really easy to feel with them.

This is a game

I am not sure if this is a negative point or a the reason for the charm the serie has. But you totally know that this is after a game. The way the whole serie is built screams game. It is as if you would can every moment start playing Gran. I didn’t know before that this is after a game… but just the first few minutes and it was so clear. It reminded me alot of Final Fantasy to be honest.

Watching or not

I definitly hope that the second season comes soon. The story is okay and everything else around it is amazing. I always love to see the different cities and landscapes of a great fantasy world. So this is totally me and now i want to play this game. Also it made me play Final Fantasy 9 again. I love this game and i haven’t played with the PS2 for years.

Episode 13

Just a short note. The season has 13 episode but only 12 are really about the main story. The last episode of the season is a bonus episode and has nothing to do with the season before. It is set in the future of a retake of the story with Gran being a girl…
Why we don’t know… the story of the episode is unnessassary and of course they all have to be in bikini to do it… yeah i am not a fan of the last episode. But maybe someone likes the episode.

Happy New Year everyone!

Hey Guys,

i know this last year was a little rocky for me and that i put the series and this site on the sideline. But i really want to change that again. My life needs a little structure and need to concentrate on many other things but this is also a big part of my life so i will be working on it.

Sooo my plan is that watch Elementary the 5th season and than start the second season of Travlers. There are alot of other series that wait on Netflix to be watched – like Sense8, Stranger Things and so one. I will work on that. Already started watching Elementary and post like always my thoughts on tumblr.

I also plan to restart my rewatch of the classic Doctor Who stories and i also will watch some time this week the christmas special…
For all the other series… i don’t know how and when i will watch them… small steps.

Also i have alot to do for my big vacation. Japan i am coming. I really can’t wait. It is one of my biggest dreams come true. So i am really excited.

I hope we all will have an amazing year. We deserve it.
