Supernatural Spinoff- Tribes

When we first heard about the supernatural spinoff we were a little worried, because well what more could you do to make supernatural more interesting or intriguing. Our beloved Winchesters have already given us everything we could ask for and more! With their superb performances throughout the seasons, And awesome badassery at hunting things and taking care of the family business, we've seen it all with these guys! Now , to be honest reading about something and then seeing it happen are quite different. When I read the plot of the spinoff show I thought it was interesting but a little too much, with the many different monsters involved. However, after watching the episode I found myself thinking , "well this could be  interesting" probably because the cast from head werewolf to shapeshifter... All fit perfectly.  They made the plot intriguing and made me want to see what will happen next! What's more to come from this group of weirdos! To put it in simpler words Chicago is basically run by different Monster-Mafia factions tiptoeing around each other... Seeking power and territory.
Also on a personal note it helps ALOT that the cast is made up of a bunch of fit hunks!! Definitely definitely helps the plot.. Helps out in so many different ways... 

This is a sample of one of the "interesting" specimens on the show

It's All About The Originals!!

The Mikaelsons just keep delivering one good episode after another, The Originals , which I would call one of the best and most successful Spin-off's  has been Ah-Mazing so far! The plot is developing at a good pace and the characters are all brilliant!! I mean it doesn't matter how many sad emotional monologues they deliver, they always know exactly what to say to make us love them even more. Klaus has been changing (yes they're tiny tiny baby steps) but there's a change and he's trying his best to make it work out with his siblings and well everyone else around him (who doesn't want to kill him), Elijah is still the most loyal,loving, bad-ass brother ever. always looking out for his family and protecting them at all costs, even from themselves! Rebekah, whom I was not a fan of when she was first introduced on TVD (what is this show btw...sounds familiar...) has really developed and became a powerful character. really different from when we first met her and she was all childish and annoying!
They did some bold moves by getting rid of some annoying characters UGH what's her face that annoying witch...seriously can't remember her name...I think of her annoying face and I just go blank on the name!! wth was it....anyways it was probably something annoying as well. Killing her off was a Good move and I approve of it. more of that, everytime we get an sucky character please kill them off! I wanted Cami gone at first because she was all whiny and just boring, but ever since she got her shit together and fixed her brain, she's been ok, and yes I admit it her scenes with Klaus are nice, maybe its because she brings out the playful yet devilish side in him! Adorable.let's see oh yeah that's right Hayley is still there, of course she is I mean she's the one who's knocked up and is carrying the King's child and Heir so yeah I guess she's important, she's trying to save her werewolf family by hanging out with them in the woods, dancing around the fire with a bunch of naked hunks! yeah typical day for her....
Back to the main point , that is, THE ORIGINALS, is simply the best thing on tv at the moment...with probably one of the best and most talented cast. Seriously.. what TVD...what is that..who knows...something from the past I'm sure. All I know is there's a new Vampire Kingdom taking over and it's all About the Mikaelsons!! 

I mean look at this....where will you get something like this!

OR OR THIS
man this crazy bastard was one scary powerful witch, That's right another good awesome thing about the Originals, the witches actually KICK ASS and know what they're doing!! 
Papa Tunde you rocked!! 

so yeah leave the light and come to the dark side of New Orleans and start watching The ORIGINALS!!
They're actually really nice people..see...

Rejoice!! They're All Back!

After leaving us for what seemed like forever!! Our beloved Winchesters are back! And after that emotional mid season finale they left us with, and poor Dean all alone and in mourning , it'll be very very interesting to see what he's gonna do, since he has a rather 'big-moose-like-problem' to deal with. 
On another completely different plain our other favorite family returns , The Mickaelsons, whom I'm sure promise to bring us more scandal, heartbreak, and pure freaking awesomeness. It's always a warm welcome return for our beloved And All-time favorite Hybrid 'Klaus' played by the gorgeous and talented 'Joseph Morgan' and I'm definitely looking forward to more of his beautiful sad/angry/loving/heart wrenching monologues!! Bring it on Klausy we're ready! And Oh Oh we've been promised some klaroline scenes and we better get them!! Since klaus may return to mystic falls, probably to finally convince Caroline to come to the better more exciting fun side , and leave the snooze fest that is Mystic Falls. 
And finally the return of the heartbroken prince, who when we last left him, was starring into the distance at his 'supposedly' future wife ridding off with his brother to who knows where!! Leaving him in a heap on the ground all broken and sad! Yup that's right, 'Reign' will be back on the 23rd, everyone's favorite new period drama with a twist! That is definitely a much anticipated return! 
Clearly we will have a lot to deal with this month with the return of all these shows at once, but whose complaining, we sure aren't, so bring on the drama and the heartache, the love and the loss, we can take it!

Japanese Anime! A Late Discovery


I've never really been a fan of the whole anime world, it never appealed to me in any way. That world was more my little sisters cup of tea. But recently I find myself wondering more and more about them, it all started with this Fan-Art picture from an anime movie that I saw which made me curious because it looked cute and innocent (and lets face it, It was late at night and I was scrolling through Pinterest when I saw it!) sleepy and a sucker for cuteness and adorable looking love stories I decided to follow the trail and find out more about the picture!! It turned out to be from this movie called "Howl's Moving Castle" , better to not go into the details because with the way these stories go it'll take more than one blog post to explain them. Let's just say they are full of wonder and mystery, love and adventure and most importantly Magic!
I liked the movie a lot, it was nice and it's characters are all lovable in their own weird way! 
It's a really huge deal this whole Anime world and the more I looked it up the deeper I fell into the hole! Not that it's a bad thing, I mean I have watched an Anime series before, only one, and I really liked it but I never thought to look up more. But after watching two movies and a series I find myself wanting more of this weird world that is Japanese anime! So I have looked up some series and made a list of the most interesting ones and I shall begin watching them! Here goes nothing....

Reign Over My Heart

Great I've gone and done it again! I've fallen into the trap of yet another series, I have been sucked in and honestly I don't see an escape any time soon. And I don't want it! I don't need saving I'm glad to be trapped I'm glad that I have yet another set of characters to fantasize and rant about and fall in love with. What is this show that has gotten me so hyped up, that my friends is the weird yet oddly beautiful "Reign", a series depicting the life of "Mary Queen of Scots" from the very beginning when she was only 15 years old, and was in those good Ol' days at a suitable age to marry, Of course because she's a Queen and almost every marriage during those times was political and arranged ever since those poor little royals were 6!
Anyways, lets not get to carried away talking about political correctness and what's right and wrong here. Because although the situation was just wrong, how they're acting it out and have managed to turn the story into something more modern and appealing to most of the young people these days is definitely Right! I'am a huge fan of period dramas, of any era really. I simply love their stories, their characters, their dialogue, their freaking costumes! I love the whole thing. At first, I was reluctant to watch this show because I had read a couple of things about it that didn't make it seem so interesting to me personally. Alas! this just shows that you shouldn't judge anything based on other peoples opinions, only your own. So because of the lovely addiction that is Tumblr, I saw a Gif from one of the episodes and I became intrigued (ahh Tumblr always bringing me closer to fictional characters) So two days ago I started watching, so far there are only 7 episodes out and yes I have finished watching them ALL! And now I'm going through the waiting and anticipating symptoms that most of the fan base are going through. it's not good, it's not healthy and I Luuuuuuuve it!
You know at first I found it peculiar to be watching a period drama with modern music playing in the background. However, that doesn't mean it didn't grow on me, mainly because the music is the genre that I like, and I'm a huge fan of  weird and peculiar. The theme song is performed by "The Lumineers", most of the music featured on the show is off their album, and in an odd way it's very fitting.
The plot is quite simple, boy and girl are arranged to be married for security of countries, boy doesn't really love girl at first, girl is of course in love with boy, then slowly boy begins to realize this girl is kinda awesome and falls for her. You've also got your other elements which add to the thickness of the plot, Strong authoritative father, vicious over-protective mother, group of friends to help you make decisions (even if they're clueless, most of the time!) and the always tolerable bastard brother (I'm not cursing him he's literally the King's bastard, and he's also one of my favorite characters, with those piercing laser eyes!)
And there you have it, don't be too quick to judge this show from the outside images you see, like I did, for real, when I first saw the poster for this series I was like "Hmmm the leads don't look so appealing to me, I don't think I'd like them.' LOOL funny me thinking I could ever evade such an awesome show, even though my first opinion of it was quite pessimistic. I practically raced through the first seven episodes and now I can't wait for more! I absolutely Love all the lead characters. I guess that's what happens when the actors are brilliant, giving their all to make their character realistic and lovable in every aspect, even if they're portraying someone meant to be the source of all evil. That's just good acting for ya!
So if you're interested in modernized versions of period dramas then this is the show for you. It's too early to tell how far into Mary's story we're gonna see. so far we're getting a cute version of it, with absolutely beautiful outfits, beautiful music, beautiful people, and a mix of stolen glances and adorable moments between our two young lovers. I don't mind honestly, yes maybe most of the way things are being depicted is a little incorrect, and wouldn't have happened like this during those medieval times, but let's be honest this way is more fun, more exciting and fascinating for us delicate Hearted people who just love and crave these stories of innocence and love and hardships, and we'll take it any way you want to give it to us!

( man capitalizing certain words just makes the post look more exciting!! I can't help it words just must be capitalized when talking about Catching Fire) 
Hmm what else there's something else I'm sure there is, something a very crazy bunch of followers, (more like millions of fans) have been waiting for, something that will redefine tv!! Seriously no over reaction! Oh yeah DOCTOR WHO'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL!! The episode we've been waiting for since like FOREVER!! An episode which will bring us some happy, sad, emotional, exciting, adventurous, down right EPIC MOMENTS! We won't just have one doctor this time, no no no, we're gonna have TWO! 10 is coming back for a special appearance and he's bringing someone with him the beloved fan favorite Rose! WOHOO!

The Seasons are Among Us

It's that time of the year again when all our favorite shows make their much awaited return to our screens after leaving us for almost 4 months!! That might not seem like a lot of time but for some of us fanatics it sure is! Things kicked off with the 10th season of 'Grey's Anatomy' yup that's right TEN SEASONS and still going for this medical drama that appeared on our tv screens years ago and cemented its place in our hearts even after it was the reason for breaking it time and time and time and time again.... And after 3 episodes its off to a good start but knowing 'Shonda Rimes' and her evil heartbreaking tricks we know something horrible is lurking in the corner waiting to make an appearance! 
The Vampire Diaries is back for its 5th season and although it might seem to be a bit boring this season you know with klaus leaving mystic falls and all... We're stuck with two boys fighting over an annoying girl, which if I may add there are TWO of now! The only thing I'm looking forward to this season is 'Evil Stefan' to be honest! Because I think Paul Wesley plays an amazing Evil character which just makes him more interesting. 
And the cherry on Top the official premier of 'The Originals' the much awaited spinoff for the 'Mikaelson' family (well what's left of them) and what they're gonna be up to in the city of 'New Orleans' where I'm sure Klaus will be up to no good with his pursuit for power and the dashing Elijah will be right next to him to help him along the way as honorably as he could! 
The Winchesters will grace our screens in 4 days and we couldn't be more excited for this remarkable 9th season, which promises to be amazing especially after that finale last season when all the Angels started falling from the sky!! Which left us crazy fans screaming 'THE ANGELS ARE FALLING!! THE ANGELS ARE FALLING!!'
So bring it on supernatural we're ready for the crazy ride (in the Impala) you'll take us on this season like you do Every time!
So here we go another year another season and most definitely more drama, heartbreak, shock and excitement to come our way! And boy are we ready!

Doctor Who Moments- 9th Doctor

The Doctor, in all three of his awesome regeneration's had his moments, whether they were brilliant and funny, or heartbreaking and sad, they never failed to leave an impact on us loyal Whovians and make us love him even more. Now there are many many moments to choose from, and to begin lets keep it in order by starting with 9's Best moments. This first one is a personal favorite and it's really the first glimpse we get into the funny, witty, smart and somewhat goofy character of the Doctor.
In the First Episode when he's after those creepy Plastic mannequin things that have come to life and he's explaining in his very elaborate way what he intends to do to stop them to "Rose' the girl he rescues, as if we have a clue what he's talking about and then just like that after his long speech and so causally implying that he might "die in the process" he just tells her "Don't worry about me you just go along and have your beans and toast" in the nicest voice and then he gets all serious and says " but don't tell anyone about this cuz if you do you'll get them killed" and he's gone....but no! he forgot something and just like that he's back and in this very cheerful voice he's all "I'm the Doctor by the way, what's your name?" she says "Rose" and he's all "Nice to meet you Rose, run for your life!!" with this sly devilish smile on his face! and that I'm afraid was all it took to get me hooked, he got me from there on and plus the accent that the talented "Christopher Eccleston" has really really makes him just 10 times more interesting and just so freaking sexy! I mean seriously, why are we so weak when it comes to these accents, they seem to have some sort of weird magical effect that makes everything they say sound sexy and out of this world!
So yeah on that note we conclude the first of many "Doctor Who Moments", and seeing as there are 7 seasons out there! Expect plenty more to come!
Till the next time!

"I'm The Doctor!"- "Doctor Who?"- "Exactly!!"




The end is here....well at least for this part of my journey in the magical world of  'Doctor Who' . I just finished watching the last episode of season 7 and sadly said my goodbyes to the delightful 'Matt Smith' seeing as he left the show to make way for our New Doctor! Can't wait!! After seven seasons and three different doctors I found that it never gets easy to say goodbye to our beloved Doctor (man I'm gonna say Doctor a lot in this post!). And even-though it's always sad to see our doctor leave, because in their own special way all three actors who had the honor of portraying this amazing character were favorites and loved for different reasons, it's still also exciting to see how the new person is gonna truly become "The Doctor". Each actor brought his own signature move or word or facial expression that managed to wiggle its way into our hearts and make us love him more and more and more and more.... You really can't hate the doctor no matter what! HE'S THE DOCTOR!! Awesome in so many ways, the protector of the universe and all it's galaxies!
I wont make this post too long, this is simply a little rant to help me get over my post-season finale emotions and boy are they plenty! I could talk on and on and on about what I like about the doctor, what makes this character so lovable and admirable ( the list is endless really, and therefor I shall be making one , a list of favorite Doctor moments, in the form of various blog entries in the coming days) that you just find yourself fascinated and connected with on a very deep emotional level (yup that's what this man has done to us he's got us all emotionally attached to him in an unbreakable bond) It's such a wonderful thing to be honest, I am so glad I started watching this show (my sister persuaded me in a way since she watched it first and was in desperate need to express the many many emotions one goes through while watching the show) after such a long time of wondering what all the "Doctor Who" fuss was about and I can't wait to continue this beautiful journey with our new Doctor when he returns. And in the words of my first and favorite Doctor...It's gonna be FANTASTIC!

Up Close and Personal with Characters




How do I begin describing Eric, let me see; he's a sexy combination of someone who is Confident and Selfish with a dash of cute and sensitive. His development in ' The Sookie Stackhouse' novels has been the most impressive ( well at least for me it has been since he's my favorite!!!) I LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM!! Ok ok back to reality, in all seriousness he really is a good example of a character that you can't wait to read about in every book and see what he's gonna say or do! The little things he says just make you all giddy and happy, like in the first book when he got Sookie the roses as a thank you for helping him or when he got her the nice coat after her old one got ruined, or when Sookie woke up one morning and found that someone had paid to have her driveway fixed, which was something she kept talking about throughout the whole book. He LISTENS TO HER!! He's just thoughtful like that and when he began to have actual feelings for her those little things became "Intensified" he turned into her Vampire Protector, her guardian in a way. And she couldn't help but feel the same way ( she already fell for innocent,cute, sensitive, amnesiac Eric when she was keeping him safe and that relationship was beautiful) and yeah ok they became more serious after they shared blood (which is a serious thing in the vampire world) but it was still based on actual feelings  and emotions. Eric shared blood with her the first time to save her life, yeah she'd be connected to him for a while (but who's COMPLAINING!!) I mean come on it's ERIC FREAKING NORTHMAN! The Norse God (credit to Nour for giving him this title) who with a look can make you melt into a puddle on the ground. He's a tall blue-eyed blonde vampire with a stare that could end wars, or in his case start ones! Because let's face it he's slightly Evil (man this guy keeps getting better and better the more I talk about him!) Evil to me is a very sexy trait, and it gets sexier when this evil character begins to show signs of caring and love towards the most unlikely person. Now the Eric in the books and the Eric in the series have a slight difference in the manner of let's say communicating and expressing how they feel. Of course when you're reading you have your imagination to depend on and when you watch a character come to life it's a different experience! Nonetheless, they are both awesome!! I love how the "Swedish Giant of Deliciousness" Alexander Skarsgard portrays Eric and makes us fall even more in love with him along the way. He brings so much depth to the character and he just has this aura of hotness and awesomeness surrounding him that you just can't help but gawk at the screen and want more of him. 
While reading the books I actually found myself waiting for it to become night time (in the books duh! cuz vampires can't walk during the day in these novels) just to read about any kind of interaction involving Eric!! Now he might not be the most subtle when expressing how he feels about something but he sure is good when he expresses his love for Sookie. He's the kind of person who's very VERY protective of the people he loves and cares about. And the fact that both him and Sookie truly love each other regardless of the "Blood Bond" because she had it broken to see if those feelings were real and they GENUINELY WERE!! totally makes their relationship worth the late nights I spent racing through the chapters to see how these two are gonna make it in the messed up world they live in.

Vicariously reliving my teenage years Through "My Mad Fat Diary"


I decided to check out what this show was about because I stumbled upon a GIF from one of the episodes on Tumblr and it was so freaking adorable, I just had to find out WHAT IT WAS!! And boy was I glad I did!! First of all this show deals with some serious issues. And it does so in a very captivating manner that it just hits you right in the core of your heart! It takes you back to those adolescent years of being a teenager and exploring Life and Love. At first you'd think "oh this is just another show about teenagers drinking and doin' it all the time" well it's not! Yes it involves drinking and they talk about sex a lot! (but hey what show doesn't these days) But it's the way the topics are approached that makes it different somehow. It explores both the bright and dark sides of being a teenager. The insecurities that most people face when they're young and how they choose to deal with them. The dark choices we decide to make when it becomes to much to bare, the weight of being young and insecure and wanting to be accepted. It takes all those bad things and infuses them with a beautiful, delicate, innocent story about well Love! Love and the friendships we make along the way which help us get through the rough hurdles of life. ANYWAYS not to make it sound like a completely depressing show (which it's not really) and I won't give away too much of the story but for all it's worth this show is definitely worth checking out, it has some amazing moments, that will make you smile, cry, and laugh hysterically as you explore life though the eyes of the remarkable "Rae Earl".
ALSO one more super important thing this show has to offer that just makes it AhhhhMazing THE MUSIC. It's set in the 90's and they focus on certain bands, so expect a lot of Oasis, Stone Roses, Blur, Radiohead, The Smiths, The Cure, all the best music from the 90's really! ( yes even Spaceman by Babylon Zoo) and get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey!

                                                  And here it is the GIF that started it all!!!
what really got me was the cute thing with moving the pillow to see her! 
aaaand the scrunching of the faces, ADORABLE!

I've Got A Pickle to Pick With You Shonda

Seattle Grace's Notorious Reaper
Dear Ms. Rhimes,

I come to you, exasperated. I am pondering whether you helped us get a little stronger or just plainly and unrelentingly crushed our drained souls. For so long I wanted to understand WHY you did what you did. Shall I list the horror of events not in chronological order because they are jammed in my head like one endless hell? My pleasure!

  1. George under a bus
  2. Miscarried babes
  3. Psycho shooter (who BTW lost his wife tragically episodes back) 
  4. Lexie under a plane. Then tying our emotions to a truck which spun them round and round in dirt until they were transformed to waste. Do you recall how we spent two episodes unaware if Lexie was truly gone? Was it by design that she so easily disappeared? Maybe it was one of your life lessons; we move on despite anything. In my opinion, the characters, as well as traumatized audience, were so used to death by now that they actually welcomed it with a warm smile.
  5. That episode when a couple were brought in to the hospital of doom. They were having a fight because the lady wanted a proposal and the guy kept postponing. He had bought her a cheap necklace that night again, and she went ballistic. Naturally he then dies. (Death LOL) But that was not the brutality of it all. No, no no! We later realize he had been wanting to propose that same night, with that same necklace which carried a message inside the locket. Nevertheless he died and she never found out. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WOMAN!
  6. Mark Sloan.
  7. Owen cheating. I drew the line right here Ma'am. You'd think a more horrendous misdemeanor from your part would have taunted me so, but truthfully this took the cake!
  8. Denny and his ghost.
  9. New contract and a new season
I could go on and on Ms. Rhimes. BUT YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT. 
I am probably to blame too, as I kept coming back for more pain, more sadness, and more heartbreak. I craved it, one week after the other, like a dumb fool. But really, do these nightmarish plots come to you easily? Did you decide from an early age that humanity needed a wake-up call, or did you experience immense heartache for so long, and therefore wanted to find release somehow? I become paranoid every time some tragic event occurs in other series. I remember I had to google whether you were one of the producers on Downton Abbey in its last couple of episodes. You weren't. Although for a long while I believed it.
Anyway, your work remains a work of art. Artistically heart wrenching that is. 
You trouble me so Shonda. I fear season 10. 

Believe in butterflies, please!

Sincerely,
a confused and worried fan
