Thanks, Mom.
Almost Human 1x09
I thought this episode was pretty good but I couldn’t help feeling like I’d missed something - what number episode was this originally? I think the fact that these eps are being aired out of order really showed in this episode.
I liked seeing the man responsible for Dorian’s creation and I thought the fact that Dorian is worried that he might malfunction too and become like Danica was really interesting - not foreshadowing, I hope. I loved the scene between Dorian and John when he admitted that he’s worried about that and then John tried to reassure him.
I thought the whole storyline about Danica was good - what’s that wall all about though? What’s on the other side of it? Now Dorian’s maker is going to the other side - does that mean they might follow him there in future episodes? I hope episodes air in the correct order from now on because it feels like this could be the beginning of an ongoing storyline.
I also really enjoyed the fight scenes between Dorian, John and Danica. I thought it was cool that the human (with a synthetic leg) was the one who stopped her.
I enjoy this show but I think Fox airing the episodes out of order is screwing it up. I still can’t figure out why they’d do it. I’d love to watch them back in the correct order one day.
Castle 6x14
I thought this episode was okay - a total filler but a decent case with enough suspects to carry the episode.
I thought there was a bit too much wedding stuff and I thought Beckett was beginning to wonder if she was ready to marry Castle and I was so ready for some angst and then it turned out that she was just worried because her Mum isn’t around to see them get married. I thought that made total sense although now I’m concerned because things are too happy - I’m expecting things to to go wrong before the wedding. The happier things get the more worried I get about what might happen.
Speaking of the wedding. I wonder who’ll be Castle’s best man? Ryan? Esposito? Both? And who will be Beckett’s maid of honour? Laney? Alexis?
Oh, and I did wonder for a second if Matilda was really Beckett’s mother. I’m not sure where that came from.
Following 2x08
I thought this episode was good - better than last weeks.
I knew there was something off about Lily and as this episode went on I just started to suspect her. As soon as Ryan asked Mike if he could see the video footage of the attack I knew she was one of them. It seems like everyone wants to mess with Ryan’s head. No wonder he’s falling apart. I loved the scenes between him and Mike in his apartment this week - I’m glad that Mike is seeing what’s really going on with him and was willing to listen to his Joe is alive theory even though he didn’t believe it.
I felt sorry for Ryan when he told the FBI lady that everyone dies when he’s around and they don’t need him there because it’s bad for everyone. He really believes that too. I think Mike felt sorry for him too. I really enjoy their friendship and hope we get more scenes between them as the season goes on. I think it’s the best part of the show for me. It’s that thing that keeps it grounded, I think. And hopefully Mike can be the one to save Ryan.
So, Lily is Luke and Mark’s mother? Honestly, I didn’t see that coming. I wonder where that’s gonna lead? And now Emma’s with them too? What’s their play with her?
And Joe now has another follower in Mandy - he looked so proud when she killed her own mother for him and I’m a little worried about just how creepy their relationship might get. Mandy’s only a kid, isn’t she? It’s practically creeping me out already.
This show is still all sorts of crazy but that’s the best thing about it - well, second best after Ryan and Mike.
Teen Wolf 3x17
I thought this episode was a really good one - I loved how the seemingly separate storylines collided to make a somewhat coherent storyline.
I felt really sorry for Stiles when he was trying to show Scott the writing on the chalkboard and the key only to find that they'd both gone and when Scott admitted that he hadn't actually seen the key, that Stiles had told him about it, I think poor Stiles was beginning to wonder if it was all in his head again. I felt really sorry for him when Scott said he looked tired that Stiles admitted that he hadn't been sleeping really. Scared of the nightmares I guess. And then, instead of taking a sick day like Scott said, Stiles went to the hospital - I think he's starting to get scared for his own health - where he met Melissa. I thought the Stiles and Melissa scenes were really good and the little moment when he called her "Mom" actually made me cry. I just have too many Stiles feelings, okay! And I'm so not ready for what's coming.
As soon as Allison, Chris and Isaac discovered that those creatures are trying to locate someone who isn't themselves I automatically realised they were looking for Stiles. And once they'd realised that the others weren't possessed they'd go - once they'd checked them over and left the mark. I liked the explanation of the mark actually - it made sense.
When the creatures finally caught up with Stiles in the hospital I was just nervous about what was to come - and I guess that scene cemented the fear that Stiles isn't himself. He's possessed. He's not in control of his own actions. And judging by the comments Chris, Allison and Isaac got from that dude, once they find out who's possessed they can't be saved. They have to be destroyed. We can only hope that Stiles is strong enough, I guess. Honestly, I'm just not emotionally prepared for this storyline. I think we all knew it was coming but now I'm not ready for it. I just hope Stiles can survive this somehow. Oh, and when Melissa compared his symptoms with his mothers, does that mean that she was possessed too and had to be destroyed? I'm also not ready to find out what really happened to his mother. I'm not ready for any emotional Stilinski storylines.
I am, however, ready for Dylan O'Brien to act the hell out of this shit! He was amazing in the final scene. Just that look on his face was chilling enough.
I thought the scenes between Scott and Kira were good - I hope she's a good person because if she's not it would seem like a bit of a retread of Derek and Jennifer's storyline from 3A and at the end of the day I just want Scott to be happy. He's a good kid. Speaking of him being good, I liked the way he was with Stiles in this episode - when he told him that he didn't disbelieve him but he didn't want to believe he was a killer either. I really hope it doesn't end up with Scott having to kill Stiles because I don't think I could handle that.
I thought the stuff with Scott's Dad was interesting too - just what did he want to tell Scott? I want to know what his deal is.
I thought the Isaac and Allison stuff was pretty good too - they have good chemistry but I just don't think I'm that interested in their part of the storyline at the moment. Maybe it'll grow on me.
I liked the fact that Derek was following Scott, to keep him safe and I especially liked it when he asked the twins if they were willing to die for Scott. I don't think they were sure about that. I like that Scott is making them work for a place on his pack.
I'm equally excited and scared for the next few episodes.
