Literary Web Series

As a writer, you have to love a lot of things. Like reading, writing, and... - you thought I was going to say arithmetic, you are wrong - web series. Well, that I might sound a bit...odd together but it is true. 

The reason I bring up the words web series is because there has been a lot of talk about them lately. Mainly, the Lizzie Bennet Diaries (many of you will probably know what I am talking about). Basically a retelling of Pride and Prejudice with the vlog-style format. It started it all, basically. 

I did not find the Lizzie 2014 sometime (before summer and after all the episode aired) and I fell in love. I binged watched EVERY episode of the Diaries and it was amazing. It was absolutely amazing. My mom is a BIG fan of Pride of Prejudice (with Colin Firth, of course) and has read the book multiple times. Now, I have seen bits and pieces of different versions of Pride and Prejudice, but this really made me interested in Jane Austen's word. 

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

Lydia Bennet Vlogs - These coincide with The Lizzie Bennet Diaries 

Pemberley Digital - This is the main YouTube page where you can find a few other series they have created/helped produce. 

Since Lizzie Bennet Diaries, I have my chance to watch a few others and by a few, I mean pretty much any literary web series that I can find. So, for a year I have been involved with the literary web series lifestyle and dragged by best friend, Rebekah (you've heard LOADS about her, readers) into this so-called lifestyle. After binge watching so many in such a short amount of time, it was easy to say, they have become an addiction. 

That's right, readers, an addiction.

Just yesterday, I was searching for new web series to watch and stumbled across In Earnest. Now, if anyone knows me, they would know that The Importance of Being Earnest is ONE of my favorite movies. So, it took me less than a day to watch all the episodes, plus Q&As and bloopers (making me REALLY need to watch the movie again). 

But this is way I want to make a blog post, to bring awareness to what this is all about.

I will link you to a master list of pretty much all - maybe missing some - and I will tell you what ones I have watched and loved or just couldn't sit through. Not because they were bad, because I either don't like the novel/play or never read it or scene any version of it before. 

MASTER LIST - NOT MINE

Let's get started, shall we?

The March Family Letters - produced, created, and filmed in Canada, being helped bring an audience to it with Pemberley Digital. Now, my verdict: Not a huge fan of Little Women, so I can't tell you much. I watch it off and on, right now, it's not too interesting to me. Maybe I'll binge watch it when its over, who knows. ONGOING

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries - in my Top Five favorites with a tie for number one with In Earnest. It was produced by Pemberley Digital and it absolutely amazing. I'd say, start with Lizzie Bennet first, then go on to watch the others. Just because, Lizzie is AMAZING. I can't say enough great things about it - you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll squeal when you see Darcy, you'll probably faint when you meet Darcy (there's a difference, you'll see), you'll cheer when your favorites get together, and you'll yell at your computer screen. COMPLETE

Welcome to Sanditon - isn't as good as Lizzie Bennet but it is in the same universe as Lizzie Bennet and friends. It's okay, not my favorite. COMPLETE

Emma Approved - this is DEFINITELY in my Top 10, probably 7. Produced by Pemeberley Digital, no surprise there. Granted it starts out slow as fuck but it does pick up. Again, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll scream at your screen, you'll want to punch Emma in the face on multiple occasions but in the end, it really is a good web series adaptation of Emma. COMPLETE

From Mansfield With Love - I couldn't get into it, sorry. I don't know much about it, but it looks good, just not something I really into. ONGOING?

Elinor and Marianne Take Barton - recently just finished, I watched it off and on. It was good, nonetheless. Marianne can be a bit annoying at times, but in the end, it's adorable. COMPLETE

The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy - number three on my Top Five. YOU GUYS NEED TO WATCH IT! It is a retelling for Peter Pan, just them much older. And can I just say, Peter and Wendy are SO ADORABLE?!?! SEASON ONE COMPLETE, SEASON TWO COMING SOON Oh and did I forget to mention, Supernatural fans, Jim Beaver will be season two? ;)

The Autobiography of Jane Eyre - okay, I binge watched this. I didn't know how to like it, but I fell in love...right until the end. It is still in my Top 10, at number 10 but the ending...they had to change the ending because the original actor who played the love interest (who's name is escaping me) had a little...creative difference with the creators, I think. So...the ending isn't like the book or movies at all. So, keep that in mind, but it is a really good adaptation. COMPLETE

The Misselthwaite Archives - is in my Top 10 at 6. It still in the early stages of the web series, they had to move locations at one point too. But it is really good - it is different from the ordinary vlog style. They have a Cat-Cam, they have normal cameras following them around like on a TV show, and vlogs. It's good, check it out. ONGOING 

Baker Street - Sherlock Holmes and genderbend, do I need to say more? In my Top 5 at number 4. Here is the link since the master list does not have it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8IaZ7-169c2vl3GOehxa6w/videos CURRENTLY COMPLETE, UNKNOWN IF CONTINUING

East and West - was cute while it lasted. It is no longer in production do to illness. But it was great while it lasted. Maybe someone else with do North and South soon. CANCELLED

Green Gables Fables - you guessed it Anne of Green Gables. In my Top Five at 5. It is currently on hiatus, finished its first season and I think is currently doing or did a IndieGoGo fundraiser, I don't know if they got all the money they needed or not for a season two. SEASON ONE COMPLETE, SEASON TWO UNKNOWN STATUS

Nothing Much To Do - in my Top Five at number two. Seriously guys, you NEED to watch it! It is amazing, it's based in New Zealand and...just watch it! I can't explain to you what an amazing web series is it! COMPLETE, A SEQUEL LOVELY LITTLE LOSERS COMING SOON

Shakes - is a mashup of three of Shakespeare's plays. In my Top 10 at number 9. It is really good. Just a little warning the last episode of the series does have a trigger warning. So keep that in mind. COMPLETE

Frankenstein, MD - another Pemeberley Digital production, it isn't as good as the others. It is number 9 on my list of Top 10. It's good, sometimes I didn't understand it. Don't get me wrong, I actually had to read Frankenstein for my Gothic Lit class and I couldn't get through it but the web series brings new light to the book. Just and FYI, it does genderbends. COMPLETE, POSSIBLE SEASON TWO??

In Earnest - OMFG, just watch it! WATCH IT, WATCH IT, WATCH IT! If you don't watch any others, watch this one! You will love it! That's way it is tied for first place. JUST FUCKING WATCH IT! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! IT IS AMAZING! It might top Lizzie Bennet Diaries, who knows? COMPLETE BUT THE CREATORS ARE INTERESTED IN CREATING SOMETHING ELSE! 

I know I left a lot out, but some I have yet to watch or have but didn't like them and I don't want to put some on blast because people have different tastes. You might not like what I have suggested and that is completely fine. You don't have to like everything I like, but these are just suggestions.

ENJOY! 

~Molly

PS: You never know, I might have the courage to actually make something like those. Who knows. ;)

The CW's Supernatural - SEASON FINALE - Brother's Keeper

Supernatural 

SEASON TEN FINALE

Brother's Keeper

Tonight is the night. The night we find out what Dean is going with Death - the Death. DEATH IS BACK! In-in a good way, as in the character of Death. I shouldn't be happy that Death is back in the picture but I am! 

Just one thing: a recurring character will be killed off tonight. Like...forever (probably not likely) dead. 

JUST DON'T LET IT BE CASTIEL! I WILL KILL SOMEONE IF IT IS CASTIEL!

9:00 - I'M NOT READY TO HEAR CARRY ON WAYARD SON!!! NO! 

9:01 - Totally singing the 'theme song'!!! Oh, Sam is using his smarts apparently! 

9:02 - "Dean guessed!" 

9:03 - Sorry, I just got really distracted by Sam's speech. Dean was previously passed out on the ground. And in a motel room. And drinking himself silly. No, he's not good.

9:04 - Dean's hunting. Drunk Dean, not good on a case. 

9:05 - Who's this? "You begged me." 

9:06 - Dean, Dean, Dean. "Hello boys." THAT'S CROWLEY'S LINE! NOT YOURS, ROWENA!

9:07 - "Forgive me, maybe you have." Just put a bullet in her head, please.

9:08 - "Sam, this is a mistake." 

9:09 - Dean, shut up. Please, shut up! Subtle, Dean. Very Subtle. 

9:10 - Of course he was.

9:11 - Oh dear Lord! Sam is not having a good day at all! 

9:12 - "I don't believe you." "You saw Oscar?"

9:13 - "And he's not playing well with others." XD Dean never plays well with others, unless they're girls with big boobs.

9:14 - "Dean, stop!" Seriously, Dean? "Well, I just rescued you."

Commercial Break

9:18 - Oh, Dean's getting paranoid. And breaking things. "He just let him die." 

9:19 - Castiel is making a Demon Deal. Oh my God! I can't stop laughing. 

9:20 - "Or do it my way." "King!" "King..." 

9:21 - Cas is like 'I hate this plan.' Yep, Dean's not there. And you are left to pick up the bill for the destroyed room.

9:22 - DEAN! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! We're going to see Death! We're going to see Death!

9:23 - DEATH HAS ARRIVED!! Death and his food. "I want you to kill me." 

Commercial Break

9:28 - Death and his food - I LOVE HIM! "No games, no second thoughts." "And-and I can't." 

9:29 - "Nothing can kill you." "But?" "Shocker." 

9:30 - ARE WE GOING TO SEE LUCIFER?! PLEASE!! "I'm not doing that. Not to anyone." 

9:31 - "Brother, I'm done." 

9:32 - "Apparently, she grew to love." 

9:33 - Interesting... "You don't need to die." 

9:34 - "It's yours."

Commercial Break 

9:37 - "What?" "What evil?" "The darkness." "Does it sound like a good thing?"

9:38 - "This isn't you." This makes NO SENSE TO THE FANGIRL WATCHING RIGHT NOW!

9:39 - "Ah, yes." "I felt free." 

9:40 - He is the King of Hell, he needs a high place to sit. "You were saying?" "And I was wrong." 

9:41 - Dean, stop making my heart break right now! Please! "We are not evil." 

9:42 - Charlie's death WASN'T Sam's fault, Dean! Charlie was WILLING to do it! "That's not evil, Dean." 

9:43 - "Good, good. Fight." A Sam and Dean fight, haven't seen that in a while. This is a really good fight, haven't seen them fight this bad in a while. 

9:44 - He's got a point, Dean. 

9:45 - DON'T AGREE WITH HIM, SAM! DON'T! "Do it." Oh my God! Oh my God! "Close your eyes." "Sammy, close you eyes!" HE CALLED HIM SAMMY! 

9:46 - "What is was to love." NO! NOT THE PICTURES OF MARY AND THEM TOGETHER! OH MY GOD! I CAN'T! I CAN'T! "Or I will." 

9:47 - "Forgive me." HE KILLED DEATH! HOW THE HELL DID HE DO THAT?! 

Commercial Break 

8:52 - This is awkward. Especially for Crowley, I'd say. And he's dead. 

9:53 - "I'll live." "Fantastic. I think I just killed Death." 

9:54 - Something's going to happen. And the Mark is...gone? Just like that? Oh, no! WHAT IS GOING ON?!

9:55 - Oh no! I think all the evil things are coming out to play. "The Darkness." "Get in the car! Let's go! Let's go!"

9:56 - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?!

NBC's Grimm - SEASON FINALE - Cry Havoc

Grimm

SEASON FOUR FINALE

Cry Havoc

It's been quite a while since I reacted to Grimm - it might go on the weekly schedule as of next year but who knows. I was tossing the idea up in the air for the last couple of days that I'd write this. Why? Because I heard it supposed to be CRAZY! And no one is safe. 

So, let the show begin!

8:00 - Recapping time! :D Oh, do we get to hear Nick's... YEP! 
8:01 - "It's his mom." "This is a trap!" 
8:02 - Come on, Nick. Snap out of it! "Their gone." "Find them." 
8:03 - Why do I think something drastic is going to happen right now? 
8:04 - "No time to." "What?!"
8:05 - "It that...?" "A head." "No, we're doing this my way." Go Nick Burkhardt! The intro seemed different for some reason. 

Commercial Break

8:09 - Well, good job guys. "Wherever the hell that is." "That wasn't you." 
8:10 - "My mother's dead." "Kelly's dead?" "She's pregnant?" 
8:11 - Finally, someone commented on Diana's sudden rapid age change. No, Juliette is just a bitch. 
8:12 - I wonder if that actually is Diana. "The Grimm got away." Oh, did I see a smile on Juliette's face? Like she knew Nick wouldn't get caught.
8:13 - Joy, tell the King everything he wants to know. Perfect, Juliette. Just perfect.
8:14 - And that's what the plastic wrap was for. And Adalind's scream - so forced! Hahaha

Commercial Break 

8:18 - "Nick really needs you right now." Trubel seems to be hiding something. That wasn't Nick, that was Kelly.
8:19 - It's a good thing. "To something." 
8:20 - Oh, please let's not have these thoughts, Molly!
8:21 - DO NOT KILL OFF BUD! Hahahaha! Now she has to pretend to be scared. Hahaha
8:22 - "You okay?" "I almost went into labor with all that screaming." 
8:23 - Just kill Juliette already. "More than once." "Good."
8:24 - Nick just figured out that Juliette is behind everything. "She was set up." "And Juliette."
8:25 - Oh, Kenneth gets arrested early. This is fun. 

Commercial Break

8:29 - "Where you belong." "I doubt that."
8:30 - "This Grimm has really become annoying." Where on Earth did Wu take him? 
8:31 - Wu is just leaving Kenneth there. But where the hell are we? Oh, and there's Nick. 
8:32 - Come on, Nick! Use your Zombie!Nick powers!
8:33 - "For...my...mother." And he's dead. 
8:34 - "Trubel?" "That's what I was thinking." 
8:35 - "And me!" "That bitch has my kid?!" 
8:36 - "Quietly." "Tired, angry. Scared." "This is cool."
8:37 - "Kill her." 

Commercial Break

8:40 - This should be very interesting!
8:41 - The car is also stopping. "Oh...not good." 
8:42 - "Just in case?" "You never know." 
8:43 - "And get married? No."
8:44 - I think Diana knows something. I think she's in on the plan between Trubel and Kelly. 
8:45 - People act like Nick is a normal Grimm - he was zombified, remember?!
8:46 - My heart is already pounding, I know we'll have the mother of all cliffhangers tonight! And I'm worried. GO MONROE! 
8:47 - Come on, come on, come on, come on! 
8:48 - Oh, no! 

Commercial Break 

8:52 - "They got away." "All of them?" "I'm sorry."
8:53 - Oh, no. Renard,
8:54 - Oh something is going to happen now. Oh, that's not creepy at all. He's dead
8:55 - The guy that helped birth Diana! AW! The king is dead. That's two deaths.
8:56 - Something is going to happen. I just know it. We still have Juliette and Nick battle to deal with. 
8:57 - "Do it...Nick." "Get out!" NICK! JESUS CHRIST! 
8:58 - "Goodbye Nick." "Goodbye Juliette." 
8:59 - Holy shit. That didn't look good.

The CW's The Vampire Diaries - SEASON FINALE - I'm Thinking of You All the While

 The Vampire Diaries

SEASON SIX FINALE

I'm Thinking of You All the While

FIRST THING FIRST, GOODBYE NINA DOBREV! THANK YOU FOR CREATING THE CHARACTER OF ELENA GILBERT. THANK YOU FOR HAVING GREAT CHEMISTRY WITH IAN AND PAUL. THANK YOU FOR THE FRIENDSHIPS BETWEEN EVERYONE IN THE CAST! THANK YOU FOR MEMORIES OF HUMAN!ELENA, VAMPIRE!ELENA, HUMANITY OFF!ELENA. THANK YOU FOR CREATING KATHERINE, TATITA, AND EVERY OTHER DOPPLEGÄNGER SHE HAS EVER HAD.

THANK YOU NINA. YOU WILL BE MISSED!

Now that the very necessary cap lock and bold is over will. I can get to the point of this reaction. Tonight is Elena Gilbert's last episode, Nina's last episode. And it's time to say goodbye. 

I thought I was ready for tonight (I'm not), I thought it would effect me as much as I thought it would. But we're losing Elena tonight. We're losing the main part of the show. Elena is a key character to the storyline. Next year, it will focus more on the brothers than anything - it will be weird not to see Elena popping up. 

8:00 - Hope you have your tissues ready, it's going to be an emotional night. I'M NOT READY!! I AM NOT READY!! 
8:01 - Please explain how Kai got out? Oh, no! It's starts out sad! NO, that's probably their last kiss! OH MY GOD! 
8:02 - Poor Alaric! Holy shit! This is heart pounding already. 
8:03 - Alaric is so upset! Someone kill Kai, please! Ric REALLY can't catch a break at all. Oh, Kai kills himself? 
8:04 - Oh, no! A Ric and Elena moment! I haven't cried yet. 
8:05 - I SAW JEREMY'S NAME!! What's happening right now? Oh, Enzo. "There's a bigger problem?" Can't she die too?
8:06 - She is. But I bet there somewhere. Ah, shit, Tyler! 
8:07 - "I love you, Liv." ARE WE GETTING TYLER BACK AS A WEREWOLF?! PLEASE!!
8:08 - Tyler, just do it! You were so good as a werewolf! SO GOOD! 
8:09 - Poor Tyler but YAY FOR WEREWOLF TYLER TO COME BACK!

Commercial Break - No tears yet but it is still early.

8:13 - "I triggered my curse." Yeah, since we no longer have Klaus in town.
8:14 - Oh my God! Kai's a vampire. A witch/vampire. Fantastic!
8:15 - Oh, God. STOP TORTURING ME WITH SAD ALARIC SALTZMAN! AND VAMPIRE HUNTER ALARIC SALTZMAN IS BACK! Maybe not.
8:16 - "Bad time?" TYLER! TYLER JUST BIT KAI! 
8:17 - "Bad doggy."

Commercial Break 

8:22 - Matt and Elena memory! NO!
8:23 - Was Kai drunk when making this video? Ah man. What did Kai do?
8:24 - Kai, what did you do? Ah, fuck. The Sleeping Beauty rumor is true! FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
8:25 - Well damn. Kai did think this through. But shit! WHY THAT RUMOR!?!?

Commercial Break

8:28 - Stefan and Elena final scene! Ah shit! "This isn't goodbye."
8:29 - Elena is killing it tonight! 
8:30 - "Are you?" "Of course not." I wouldn't exactly call Stefan and Elena soulmates. 
8:31 - At least we have our storyline for next season - Stefan and Damon, brotherly love! 
8:32 - "I can't do this right now. I'm sorry." Kai is losing it. 
8:33 - Kai ain't so powerful without his witchy/vamp side coming through anymore. 
8:34 - Seriously? 
8:35 - Oh, shut up, Kai! 
8:36 - Well I know we save Bonnie. Or maybe not? 
8:37 - "Heads it is." Well, there goes Kai. A beheading. 

Commercial Break 

8:42 - And I think I'm going to start crying now. Well, Tyler seemed to control it well.
8:43 - Yep, I'm starting to cry. Journals. Ah, shit. 
8:44 - This isn't fun! I'm sorry if I don't react much. The feathers! OH MY GOD!! 
8:45 - Please, please keep Matt human! 
8:46 - Matt and Alaric! I can't! I can't! JEREMY!! 
8:47 - I-I really don't want to see this right now! No, I can't!
8:48 - Good advice, Elena. Tyler as a werewolf is the best storyline for him. And now Stefan Salvatore's turn.
8:49 - "I love you so much." "Just be happy." "I'll see you soon." "I'll see you, Elena." I seriously can't right now, guys! 

Commercial Break - And we have to wait until after the break to have Damon and Elena's goodbye! AH FUCK! I can't handle this right now!

8:52 - Enzo found Lily, again. 
8:53 - Oh, fantastic. Can't Lily and her friends die already? Enzo get out of there, now! 
8:54 - I don't wanna know his goodbye to Elena, I DON'T! I can't! The tears are real guys! 
8:55 - "I want you to be happy." The hand thing from the Miss Mystic Falls episode! 
8:56 - I can't.
8:57 - "And I will. I'll wait." GO AFTER HIM CAROLINE! 
8:58 - "Are you ready for this?" I'M NOT. "I love you, Damon Salvatore." "I love you too." 
8:59 - What's happening right now? SERIOUSLY? WHAT'S HAPPENING?! What the fuck happened to Mystic Falls?

My TV Schedule for 2015-2016

Insect Cool New Banner for My Blog Here

Has yet to be made by the time this goes up.

Today, I bring you my official TV schedule for the 2015/2016 year. I'm beginning to write this on Sunday, May 10th since NBC put out their schedule for the years (minus mid-season), that will be later. 

I feel like I'm going to be swamped this year with shows - I'm hoping I'm not. I mean, I haven't had one year where I wasn't swamped with a million and one shows to watch the entire year. 

I don't know how many reactions I'll be doing when September and October come, it will depend on the schedule. Anything in BOLD and in CAPS is NEW. Anything that's Bold and Underlined is moved from a previous day and/or time. And if Italicized, that means they will be moving to their regular time or another day and/or time later in the year. This schedule will also mainly show the Big Five channels (ABC, The CW, NBC, FOX, and CBS). 

MONDAY:

8 - Dancing with the Stars, The Big Bang Theory (September until November)

9 - Dancing with the Stars, LUCIFER (midseason)

10 - Castle 

TUESDAY:

8 -

9 - iZombie

10 - QUANTICO, WICKED CITY (both limited series)

WEDNESDAY:

8 - Arrow

9 - Criminal Minds, Supernatural

10 - Secrets and Lies (during the hiatus of Nashville)

THURSDAY:

8 - The Big Bang Theory (starting in November), Vampire Diaries

9 - Sleepy Hollow, The Originals

10 - Elementary (starting in November 

FRIDAY: 

8 -

9 - Grimm

10 -

SATURDAY:

8 -

9 -

10 -

SUNDAY:

8 - Once Upon a Time, Galavant (during the hiatus of OUAT)

9 -

10 -

MIDSEASON AND UNKNOWN DATE AND TIME:

EMERLD CITY, NBC
THE FRANKENSTEIN CODE, FOX
Person of Interest, CBS
The 100, The CW
CONTAINMENT, The CW

So, this is my schedule, and I'm actually quite happy with it! I have a lot less than normal, I suppose. Saturdays have always been a dead day for me anyway, so nothing new there.

I do have to make a decision on what to watch Thursday - Sleepy Hollow. Sorry, The Originals. Sleepy Hollow takes the cake on this one! And since it will only be 13 to 18 episodes next year, it will be an easy show to get through. 

Only a few more reactions to go (three to be exact), until my hiatus until June. I'm thinking about doing reactions to Pretty Little Liars this year, I haven't decided yet.

The CW's Arrow - SEASON FINALE - My Name is Oliver Queen

Arrow

SEASON THREE FINALE

My Name is Oliver Queen

Another finale, which could act like a series finale if the show wasn't going to return (which it is, do not worry). The CW seems to be playing it really safe this year with all the 'series finale' type finales. Well, I think only Supernatural and The Flash will have cliffhangers. Even Vampire Diaries will act like a series finale because of Nina's departure. 

8:00 - Let's see what can happen! And I wonder how many times the title will be said tonight. Let's start a poll! 
8:01 - We're on a plane, back to Starling City. 
8:02 - Well no duh, Ra. Of course something's wrong. 
8:03 - Look at that Merlyn saved you. "I'm losing count." 
8:04 - "The thunder." And there's Barry Allen. Joy. "No offense." "None taken."
8:05 - A little nappie time? The humor tonight. 
8:06 - Oh, great. This flashback. Damn Oliver - Never piss off Oliver Queen. 
8:07 - "My name...is Oliver Queen!" A sword fight in a plane? Arrow is having fun lately.
8:08 - Well that didn't go as planned, huh?

Commercial Break

8:12 - You know how to fly a plane, Oliver? Since when? And no one sees a plane flying over Starling City?
8:13 - "He loved you. You were his friend." 
8:14 - "Do it." I don't want to know where that hit. "Us." 
8:15 - "I'm sorry, did I mumble?" Yeah, Oliver deserved that. 
8:16 - "I didn't." "You didn't?" 
8:17 - "You were planning on dying."

Commercial Break

8:22 - "We don't have a lot of time." And he's dead. "It's...wrong." 
8:23 - Sorry, texting my best friend at the same as writing this reaction.
8:24 - "I approve." I love Merlyn! :D 
8:25 - Go Diggle! "Turn around!" I bet Mr. Dark will be a main character/villain next year. 
8:26 - Well, shit. 

Commercial Break - So far two mentions of Oliver's name.

8:30 - "Not when the city's in danger." "Must be May." XD 
8:31 - He can die. I don't care for Laurel's dad anymore, he's being a dick. 
8:32 - "Which is what you've been doing for the last five minutes." Poor Ray - good thing he'll be gone next season.
8:33 - Please tell me, next season will have no more flashbacks. I'm sick and tired of flashbacks. But yet, you found him.
8:34 - I can see why they were thinking about making this a 'series finale'. I'm seeing a lot of references to S1. 
8:35 - Three times now. "This is...different now." 
8:36 - And he's listening. For once. "On sight." 
8:37 - Oh no. 
8:38 - Come on, Diggle! You can run faster than that. THEA! Ah shit!
8:39 - And that's why Diggle screamed no! Makes sense now. 

Commercial Break - That didn't look good. 

8:44 - Great. Just great. 
8:45 - Well I think Ra's daughter will die, along with him and Laurel's dad. I don't know how many deaths (if any) will be. 
8:46 - Oliver, you can defeat him! I know you can! Oliver, COME ON! YOU FIGHT BETTER THAN THIS!! 
8:47 - Felicity is love sick. It's stupid.
8:48 - Good boy, Oliver! 
8:49 - Well that was lackluster. OLIVER! Felicity in the Ray uniform. Interesting. Doesn't suit her though - no pun intended.

Commercial Break 

9:52 - "You killed my father." "I had to." 
8:53 - Definitely feels like a series finale, if it was one. So if anyone leaves the show after tonight, they don't have to worry about what happens next. "And I don't wanna be." "I want to be with you."
8:54 - "If you come with me." Well we all know that Oliver with come back to Starling City, there will be a new issue next season.
8:55 - Does this mean Diggle's leaving? Like, leaving-leaving? 
8:56 - ENOUGH FLASHBACKS! But I bet this is the last one. Yep, it is the final flashback!
8:57 - "Thea, I love you." 
8:58 - SPEEDY! AH! Cute! Oh, Merlyn, do you have something under your sleeves right now? I think so.
8:59 - Why has no one mentioned Tommy? I mean, like, if you are acting like this is a series finale (which it isn't), why not mention Tommy?! 
9:00 - That didn't look good. Forgot, we have an extra few minutes. Oh, Merlyn! 
9:01 - Well, Merlyn, you son of a bitch. Four times. 
9:02 - And there go Oliver and Felicity, riding into the sunset!

SEASON TWO FINALE

Ashes to Ashes

The Originals - damn, what could possibly happen tonight?

All I know is that Rebekah is back in her original body (THANK FOR HEAVEN'S ABOVE!), and I hope that the original Kol comes back! I miss having Nathaniel on my TV screen!

8:00 - Recapping time!
8:01 - Klaus, your plan better work! Why is it always a single drop of blood? 
8:02 - "We had a plan!" 
8:03 - Well shit. Klaus, I think your evil plan is working. 
8:04 - Oh...that was your plan? Really? But at least Freya's awake again. Now, Rebekah should wake up!
8:05 - Marcel, calm yourself. "Well, this should be good." 
8:06 - "Rebekah?" "She has Hope." 
8:07 - Did Freya's accent change? OH MY GOD! ARE WE BRINGING BACK THE ORIGINAL ESTHER?! 
8:08: OMFG! I think we are! And are we going to have the original Kol back too?! PLEASE! I BEG YOU!!
8:09 - He's got a point, Davina. "Nik is demented." Uh-oh. Dagger's melting.
8:10 - Well, they now are on a time crunch. 

Commercial Break 

8:13 - Rebekah, Queen of Sass and Sarcasm this morning.
8:14 - "He stole from me too." Can we save Kol too? Please!
8:15 - Marcel's got a damn point about the Mikaelsons. Oh, Freya found something. 
8:16 - Oh man. Davina's like 'holy shit.'
8:17 - "I need your help." "You are all liars." Well, maybe you shouldn't say that, Kol also lied to you - multiple times.
8:18 - Uh-oh. Not good. Freya, what the hell? 
8:19 - Kol? I'M SO CONFLICTED RIGHT NOW! Klaus, wtf? 
8:20 - ESTHER!!!! AH!

Commercial Break - Wait. Then who did Rebekah and Elijah burn?

8:25 - Oh Elijah did it. "I'm so sorry love." 
8:26 - Yeah, maybe we should have the White Oak stake in her hands. Shit. And she's gone. 
8:27 - "I'm not okay." Why does Davina look so shocked with that info about 'If Klaus dies, I die' shit? She knows it already.
8:28 - Cami, that was funny.
8:29 - "And I'm sorry." Klaus and humor tonight, it's gold.
8:30 - I shouldn't be laughing this hard right now. Klaus and humor! 
8:31 - How long have you waited to do that, Elijah? And please do it again! No, what's going on?
8:32 - Way to piss off Elijah to no end, Klaus. 

Commercial Break 

8:35 - Wow, I'm laughing a lot with the one-liners. 
8:36 - Trying to explain characters to my mom! XD
8:37 - You can do whatever you want with Freya. I haven't liked her. She's annoying actually. 
8:38 - Please, Esther, kill your sister. 
8:39 - She didn't look pleased.

Commercial Break

8:44 - Esther, stop looking scared - you were completely badass in Vampire Diaries. Oh no! 
8:45 - They are inhaling White Oak stake dust! NO! Come on Esther! 
8:46 - Can Kol magically come out and save the day? Yeah, that wasn't going to work, Klaus. 
8:47 - Oh Freya! Come on, Team Mikaelson! And they killed Esther. Again. 
8:48 - Why bring her back just to kill her? Again. For like the 12th time! 
8:49 - "Looks like we're officially orphans."

Commercial Break

8:52 - You barely knew her Elijah! "Minus the family."
8:53 - "Elijah-sized hole in the room." No duh. Klaus doesn't know happiness. 
8:54 - I want Original Rebekah not that witch Bekah! 
8:55 - Great. Oh, kiss between Marcel and Bekah! Aw!
8:56 - What will happen? Thank you! Thank you for not kissing! 
8:57 - Urg... JUST GO AWAY HAYLEY!! GO AWAY!! STAY AWAY!
8:58 - Okay, Klaus isn't that bad of a dad.
8:59 - Can Kol just...jump out now? Please! PLEASE!! 

Well, that was...uneventful.

Operation Mongoose

So, it's been a long time since I last did a reaction - I just lost interest for a little while. Other things had my attention, but hell week is about to begin and I want to react to each one of them (which aren't that many this year).

8:04 - Yeah, this is how they chose the author. 
8:05 - I am so confused right now!! "What the hell?" Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing, Mr. Author!
8:06 - "I could wake up a talking frog." 
8:07 - Of course Hook does. Hi Blue! I missed you, slightly. 
8:08 - Confused, confused, confused.

8:19 - Oh shit! 
8:20 - Oh, Regina! You...damn author! 
8:21 - Blackmail, Henry. Good boy! Your mother taught you well! "Are they still alive?"
8:22 - Yep, Henry's going to become the new author. GO HENRY! 
8:23 - And Henry goes in. Well, damn. Henry will be the Savior now! "Cool."
8:24 - Or not.

Commercial Break 

8:28 - "I don't need you changing things." "Doesn't matter."
8:29 - Those aren't chimes. And here comes Rumple.

8:32 - And there's the episode title.
8:33 - Why hasn't she questioned his outfit? "It can see my future?"
8:34 - "Wow, you are crazy." "Why am I still talking to you?" "Because I'm your son." "Did you?" "Yes."

8:47 - "Where's the boy?" 
8:48 - And there's Robin Hood! Being Mr. Good Guy! "I told you I didn't need rescuing." 
8:49 - "You still can't say 'thank you', can you?" Regina and Robin, GOD! EVEN IN AU WORLD THEY ARE STILL ADORABLE!!
8:50 - But *growls* 
8:51 - "Bride?" Oh...

Commercial Break

8:55 - Oh, this is completely awkward! "Thank you for saving my life." Poor Regina!
8:56 - "You have to stop calling you that." "I don't have a sister." 
8:57 - But you are, Regina! "I'll never have true love." 
8:58 - "Special magic?" "What aren't you telling me?" 
8:59 - Emma, poor Emma. And part two begins!

9:14 - JUST KISS ALREADY! "I'm starting to get jealous of the other me." 
9:15 - Oh, Hook. You are...pathetic. That didn't work at all, don't believe it. 
9:16 - Come on, Hook! Let's do this thing. COME ON HOOK! STOP BEING A COMPLETE IDIOT! 
9:17 - HOOK! HOLY SHIT! 

Commercial Break - WHY DOES EVERY LOVE INTEREST THAT EMMA HAS DIES?!?!?! NOT FUCKING FAIR!!!

9:21 - Belle seems too...calm. I don't like this Belle.
9:22 - The chipped cup! AH! 
9:23 - "Because I can help." 
9:24 - PLEASE SAY YES, REGINA! "Not once. I was too scared." 
9:25 - I think there's a reason they brought August. And I'm not sure if this is okay. 
9:26 - Well, shit. Rumple ruins everything.

Commercial Break 

9:29 - "Go, I got the Dark One."

Commercial Break - WHY DIDN'T YOU FUCKING SAY IT EMMA?!?! GOD!

9:41 - Oh, man. Gold, shit.
9:42 - "It's all gone."

9:44 - NO, DO NOT BRING BACK NEAL!
9:45 - "They are more than stories. They are the truth." That sounded like a line from Harry Potter, which I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
9:46 - "I was already in love." 
9:47 - "I don't love Will." Shit, Rumple. 

Commercial Break

9:52 - Aww, Regina and Robin! "Together." "Perhaps."
