John Murphy and Emori on The 100, better known as Memori! The two outsiders on the show who somehow found their way to one another fly under the radar sometimes, but their love is real and inspiring. Please note some spoilers are ahead. There is just something so incredibly sweet about these two together. I fell in love with this ship a long time ago on the show and it continues to make me melt. Murphy has always been the bad boy, but he has the potential to be redeemed by love when he meets Emori. Emori is not without her faults either, as she has trouble trusting others and both characters were used to putting their own survival ahead of helping others in the past. However, that starts to change when they meet each other.
It seems like Emori has made more progress with her moral compass, as our favorite bad boy cannot always be trusted, but there is something magical about these two together. Even though Murphy can be a bit harsh with others, he wears his heart on his sleeve when it comes to his feelings for Emori. We’ve been lacking some serious screen time for these two for a while, but I was happy to see some swoon-worthy moments between them in season 6 episode 8.
Murphy gets down on one knee and asks Emori if she can love him forever. Even though Murphy is talking about siding with Josephine here and accepting immortality, I can’t skip over the sweetness of this moment. Emori ultimately has to choose between staying loyal to Murphy and doing the right thing. Even though she ends up telling Bellamy about John’s plan to get rid of Clarke, she still cares for him so deeply.
Later on, when Josephine stabs Murphy, Emori rushes over to his side and tells him to stay with her. Through it all, Memori continues to touch my heart and soul. Even though I was getting some vibes between Murphy and Raven for a while, I think that Memori is end game. They accept each other for who they are, faults and all.
What’s next for Memori? We’ll have to stay tuned to find out, but it looks like they are in a lot of trouble. They are both taken prisoner by the Primes and Murphy’s injury looks pretty bad, so we will have to see if they can survive what happens next. I’m hoping so, but immortality may be out of reach for Murphy now, but perhaps he can realize that having the woman he loves with him is rewarding enough. I can’t wait to see what happens next for them!
Stay tuned for a recognized Ship on TV each week!

Zachary Quinto as Charlie Manx on AMC’s NOS4A2. Even though I have mixed feelings on this series so far, I have been extremely impressed by Zachary Quinto’s performance. It’s like he was born to play the perfect villain and this role allows him to explore this further, creeping us out as an old man and as a vampire. Even though he will always be Sylar from Heroes for me, it seems like this role was made for him and I’m excited that he is finally getting some well deserved screen time, as we were only seeing glimpses of his potential in the first few episodes of the show. Please note that I have not included any major spoilers for your convenience.
I have always been a fan of Zachary Quinto, but it really takes an actor of extraordinary talent and range to basically take on two extreme roles at once, while capturing our undivided attention. Sure, he is Charlie Manx young and old, but he brings different elements to the character. I found myself being lured to Christmasland along with the children because there is something so hypnotic about his portrayal, which makes him a very dangerous villain. I am intrigued by our heroine, Vic McQueen, as well, but I’m not sure that I would be invested in the show at all without Zachary Quinto. He is just perfection and he creates these bone-chilling creepy moments that seem so natural for him. In fact, you almost forget that he is an actor playing a role.
What’s next for Charlie Manx? We’ll have to wait and see, but it looks like we will finally get some type of showdown between our new favorite villain and our female protagonist. Manx vs. McQueen….place your bets now! It’s always interesting when you see the good vs. evil setup created and yet you are still far more invested in the evil side of things. Charlie Manx may be a monster, but he also has charisma, using manipulation strategically to enlist the help of other lost souls.
If he were just simply a vampire devouring small children, I’m not sure that we would be interested at all, but his thought provoking conversations during the car rides take us along for the journey, bringing us that much closer to the dark side. I’m personally leaning toward evil on the show because it is a lot more interesting, but I can’t wait to see what Charlie Manx does next! Which side will you wind up on?
Stay tuned for a recognized performance on TV each week!

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 6 episode 3, I realized that integrity is important, but sometimes it’s not as simple as clearing your name. So do you “eat it,” as Kelsey so eloquently put it, or do you find another way to spin the scam? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “The Unusual Suspect,” Quinn’s book is making its way up the best seller list, but there is something fishy going on. Meanwhile, Maggie finds a potential new romance, Josh adjusts to fatherhood, and Liza and Charles spice things up with an interesting role play. My top 5 moments from Younger season 6 episode 3 are:
5
“I haven’t been able to look at her since the incident.”
In this episode, Maggie gets some well deserved screen time and has clearly been traumatized after helping Clare while she was in labor. Lauren tries to help Maggie get through this and brings her to some kind of therapy group for this very thing, but it looks like this was the right call, as Maggie meets a new potential romantic interest named Beth. Beth informs Maggie that she “also teaches privates” and it looks like Maggie is ready to take her up on this offer. We’ll have to see how this new romance unfolds, but I’m happy for Maggie.
4
“I guess I need to listen to episode 7.”
Everyone is obsessed over the trending podcast, Exonerated, as Liza and Kelsey prepare to meet with Audrey Colbert, played by the wonderful Willa Fitzgerald for all of you Scream fans out there! Audrey is definitely a little off and is pitching her book to Millennial, but she needs to be convinced that Liza and Kelsey believe that she is innocent of murder.
Liza and Charles also spice things up, as they act out different scenarios in the podcast, leading to some interesting role plays, but I’m always happy to see an episode that features some Charliza time. Still swooning over this! Liza actually plays the femme fatale very well, so Charles better look out when it comes to his new business deal!
3
“Clare…will you…?
So I’ll admit it, when I first saw the preview for episode 3, I thought Josh was going to propose to Clare and I didn’t like it at all! I’m glad this did not happen, as Josh realizes that they are not right for each other. I think it’s so amazing that they are going to raise their baby together, but Josh realizes that they need to keep the romance out of it, which is the right call in my opinion.
Josh gets down on one knee and says, “Clare…will you divorce me?” It looks like Clare is on board, but what does this mean for Josh’s romantic life? We know that there are still feelings floating around for Liza, but will he continue to pursue this or is there someone else catching his eye?
2
“You and Zane…again?!”
I mean, it’s not like I mind Kelsey and Zane getting together again, as I absolutely adore these two together! Kelsey bumps into Zane at the liquor store and thinks that he is pretending about having a new job. Zane continues to turn on the charisma and invites Kelsey to help him drink the bottle he just bought. It looks like things are definitely on again for this couple, but Zane is about to shake things up when Kelsey finds out about his actual new job. Drama!
1
“A messy bitch who lives for drama.”
That’s our girl Kelsey and we adore her for it! After Quinn’s book continues to climb on the best seller list, Kelsey discovers that Quinn bought her books in bulk, which resulted in a dagger next to her name at number one. It’s a scam and Kelsey is not ready to take the fall for this. Kelsey initially thinks about coming clean and placing the blame on Quinn, but Liza gives her some great advice and reminds her that she is their investor and she can’t throw an author under the bus.
Kelsey proves to be someone you do not want to mess with when she is asked about the bulk sales during an interview. With perfect poise, she explains that the books were bought for speaking events and decides to announce Quinn’s intent to run for senate earlier than Quinn had intended. Quinn is clearly not pleased with this, but no one puts our girl Kelsey in a corner!
Things are looking up, but Kelsey soon discovers that Audrey is actually going to go with a new publishing company named Mercury. We learn that Zane is the editor, but they start to wonder about where he got all that money, as a light bulb goes off in Liza’s head, realizing Charles’s connection to all of this. I can’t wait to see what happens next here! Stay tuned! New episodes return July 10th!
I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own theories and thoughts on Youngerbelow in the comments section. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching the CW’s The 100 season 6 episode 8, I learned that sometimes you may love someone too much to lose them, but is it possible to take this too far? Immortality may seem like the answer, but there are always consequences. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “The Old Man and the Anomaly,” Diyoza and Octavia continue on their quest to find Gabriel and discover a shocking truth. Meanwhile, Josephine attempts to eliminate Clarke once and for all, Madi seeks out revenge, and Emori is presented with an impossible choice. My top 5 moments fromThe 100 season 6 episode 8 are:
5
“We’re gonna get her back.”
In the beginning of the episode, Bellamy lets the rest of the group know that he believes that Clarke is still alive and they try to come up with a plan to get Josephine out of there. Bellamy recognizes that perhaps they need Raven, but she is a little busy helping Abby right now. Bellamy seems focused on saving Clarke, but Jordan wants to help his new girlfriend, Delilah, as well. Only Bellamy recognizes that this may not be possible, but he suggests that they focus on Clarke, even though Madi has other ideas and thinks that they should just kill them all. It looks like the group is not in full agreement here, but will they be able to work together to save Clarke before it’s too late?
4
“Say hi to Gabriel…”
Hey Gabriel, how are you? Spoiler alert, Xavier, who has been helping Diyoza and Octavia, is actually Gabriel. An interesting reveal for sure and it’s clear that he still has feelings for Josephine, but she thinks that he is dead. So there’s that, but there is also this weird anomaly and some trippy crazy stuff going on. Gabriel tells them that the anomaly can show you your greatest fears and desires or a combination of both.
Diyoza and Octavia begin hallucinating and Diyoza sees her daughter and ends up walking into some kind of green energy to find her. Octavia follows her and ends up coming out of the green energy completely healed, but where is Diyoza? I am still a little fuzzy on all of this anomaly stuff, but hopefully we will get some answers soon. Either way, I was happy to see that Octavia is all right. We would be lost without you, Blodreina!
3
“To glory and grace of the Primes…”
We have already seen some signs that Madi is headed to the dark side and is being influenced by the Dark Commander, but she begins to act on these feelings now, taking her revenge on some of the Primes. After Madi murders two members, Jordan steps in front of her to save Delilah and ends up getting stabbed. Poor Jordan. Madi is going down a dark path, but will anyone be able to stop her? Even after she hears that Clarke is technically still alive, she still wants to kill everyone, but it seems like there are a lot of other things going on at once to focus too much attention on her, but I would like a Madi centric episode soon! I have to say that Madi makes a terrific bad-ass, but I hope that she doesn’t continue to go down this path of destruction.
2
“So much for forever.”
Murphy approaches Emori during the episode and proposes…only he’s not asking for her hand in marriage just yet. Murphy tells Emori about achieving immortality and asks her if she can love him forever. I thought this was a really sweet moment for Memori, but Josephine/Clarke interrupts the love fest, reminding them that they are running out of time to complete the surgery. You know, because “brain surgery in a machine shop…what can go wrong?” Emori is clearly conflicted about what to do next since she ultimately has to choose between the man she loves and doing the right thing, but she comes through and tells Bellamy what is going on.
Josephine/Clarke refuses to go down without a fight and ends up stabbing Murphy in the leg. Emori and Murphy are taken as prisoners and aren’t talking just yet, but our friend Murphy is no stranger to torture. Even though Emori has a moral compass, she still loves Murphy with all her heart and begs him to stay with her. Let’s hope that Murphy will be OK so that he can try and make amends, but can we really trust him anymore?
1
“If you had the chance to bring back someone you love…would you?”
Abby continues to be blinded by love, refusing to give up on Marcus. I admire their love and devotion so much, but is Abby being selfish here? Raven tries to talk some sense into her, explaining that she is essentially killing someone else to save Marcus, but Abby will not leave him. Raven thinks of Abby as a mother and hopes that she can save her, but I am very worried about Abby’s actions. The switch is successful as a man wakes up as Marcus, but he is shocked when he sees his own lifeless body and asks, “What have you done?”
I don’t think that Marcus will take this too well and now I’m worried that we won’t see Henry Ian Cusick on the show anymore and he is one of my favorite actors. I know that anything is possible on this show, but I’m not sure how I feel about someone else being Marcus. Either way, it looks like Marcus has a lot to deal with now and many of the other characters have been left with uncertain fates as well. Murphy and Jordan were both brutally stabbed, Diyoza disappeared into the anomaly, and Josephine is still in Clarke’s body. How will this all unfold? Stay tuned! New episodes return July 9th!

Happy Monday TV fans! After watching AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 4, I realized that sometimes you can find a friend in the most unlikely places. It may seem like being alone is the answer, but we all need a friend every now and again. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Skidmark,” we learn more about Daniel and our new favorite character, Skidmark. Meanwhile, Alicia begins to worry that Dylan may not be telling the truth, Max and Annie wind up in a dangerous situation, and Victor tries to make amends. My top 5 moments from Fear the Walking Deadseason 5 episode 4 are:
5
“Ready, Skidmark?”
I absolutely adore Daniel’s cat, Skidmark, and it was fun to witness the effective tag team of Daniel, or “Dan the Man,” as Sarah has now hilariously nicknamed him and his trusty cat, Skidmark. Daniel puts a bell on Skidmark’s collar to distract the walkers, while he takes them out and begins disarming traps that are set up. Skidmark is quite agile and is able to evade the hungry walkers, proving to be quite useful. We learn that Daniel inherited the warehouse from whoever set the traps in the first place and he has been working on disarming them all. Daniel is used to spending his time alone and enjoys a quick meal with Skidmark, but is he ready to be around others again?
4
“What’s it about…the book? How can it help?”
Meanwhile, Dylan bonds with Luciana after Alicia and Morgan go out to investigate a camp that Dylan has supposedly seen. The Little Prince makes an appearance again, as Dylan becomes curious about the story. Luciana fills him in and these two bond over it. Dylan helps Luciana fix the tower and eventually comes clean about lying. He tells the group that he was scared, but it looks like Dylan’s heart is in the right place. Dylan is even inspired enough by the story of The Little Prince to give Luciana a good idea as well about fixing the plane. I thought this moment was sweet between these two, as Luciana helped Charlie previously with the book and it seems like she really has a knack for motherhood.
3
“I’m not gonna shoot you in the face…”
During the episode, Daniel and Victor continue to clash, as Daniel does not trust him and refuses to just hand over the plane. Daniel claims that he is going to “save” Charlie, who he discovers hiding in the back of his truck, but Victor continues to try and prove that he has changed. He tells the group about Ofelia and how he lied to Daniel to get something he needed. When Daniel finally discovered the truth about Ofelia, it was too late and he wasn’t able to tell her what he needed to.
Later on, Charlie and Daniel get in a jam and Victor, Sarah, and Wendell come to their rescue. Victor uses the plane to take out the herd of walkers in a gruesome way, but he saves Daniel, sacrificing the plane in the process. Daniel recognizes that Victor is truly making an effort here, admitting his past mistakes and trying to make a difference now and tells him, “I’m not gonna shot you in the face,” which I guess is progress for these two.
Either way, I thought this was an important moment for both characters, as Victor finally takes some action rather than just talking about how he wants to do the right thing. He may never be able to make up for what he did before, but that doesn’t mean he can’t change. It was also fun to see some screen time for Sarah and Wendell here, who broke up the tension with some laughs as well. I thoroughly enjoy both characters and hope we get some more screen time for them soon!
2
“What were you going to tell her?”
During the episode, Charlie forms a friendship with Daniel. They bond over artichoke hearts and music…oh yeah and taking out walkers too! Perhaps Charlie sees a lot of herself in Daniel, understanding what it means to be alone after you have lost someone you have truly cared for. These two form a quick friendship and Charlie later asks Daniel what he wanted to tell Ofelia before she died. Daniel confides in Charlie and tells her: “That every day brings a chance to start over…a chance to get it right.” Daniel recognizes that perhaps Charlie needed to hear this too. Even though Ofelia is gone, Daniel is finally able to say these words out loud and he essentially helps another girl with them in the process.
Daniel asks Charlie to look after Skidmark, as he heads off to do some more work or soul searching perhaps, but it looks like Charlie got through to him and I thought this was a heartwarming moment for both characters. Will we see Daniel again? Let’s hope so, since there is a cigar waiting for him, but I’m super happy that Skidmark is now officially part of the group!
1
“What the hell is that?”
This was a jam-packed episode, as Max and Annie also find themselves in a dangerous situation, when Annie hurts her leg and a group of walkers closes in on them. They had spotted a man in a black suit and helmet who had been taking down one of their barricades of walkers. Luckily, our favorite dynamic duo, Alicia and Morgan, are there to save the day, but they quickly learn that these kids are not alone, as a group of children surround them, all holding weapons. Alicia and Morgan realize that the camp is where their parents were and now they are all left alone. Morgan explains that they can help each other and it looks like the kids are ready for a truce.
Before we can learn too much more, the kids tell them to get down and we see the helicopter with the 3 ringed symbol that picked up Rick and Anne/Jadis in The Walking Dead. So we are now presented with another interesting crossover. I was very curious about the meaning behind “A” and “B” in TWD and I’m wondering if this will now be explored on Fear TWD. What else will we discover? We’ll have to wait and see, but it also looks like we will finally catch up with Al next week and I’m excited about that. Stay tuned!
I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own theories and thoughts on Fear the Walking Dead in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

John Dorie (like the fish) and June (June Bug) on Fear the Walking Dead!I really can’t say enough about these two, as their relationship gives me all the feels! In a zombie apocalypse, they are still able to give us swoon-worthy moments that just make you smile. Please note some spoilers are ahead. There is just something so incredibly sweet about these two together. I fell in love with their relationship back in season 4 and I was worried that they wouldn’t get that much screen time in season 5, but episode 3 didn’t disappoint, as these two headed off to the wild wild west together. I almost felt like they were on a real date, even though those pesky walkers decided to break up the party.
The reason why I love these two together so much is that their love inspires those around them as well. In season 5 episode 3, they cross paths with Dwight, who is searching for his own lost love, but John and June refuse to let him give up hope, recognizing what it feels like to keep searching for that special someone, even though it seems like it may be impossible. However, anything is possible with these two…even the impossible and that’s why I adore them so much.
You know how some movies just make you cry uncontrollably when you think about how incredibly romantic they are? The Notebook comes to mind for me, which I can’t watch without sobbing, but I almost feel like John Dorie and June could star in their own version of an epic love story because their love is that powerful. There is just something so enchanting and beautiful about it and I just hope that the writers on the show don’t tear them apart. I honestly couldn’t take it at this point because I have fallen in love with both of them and I will continue to root for them against all odds.
What’s next for John Dorie and June? We’ll have to stay tuned to find out, but it looks like a lot of new threats are headed their way. John Dorie is the fastest gun in the west and June can keep up as well, creating a great tag team, but Fear TWD does have a habit of splitting characters up, so I’m just really hoping that doesn’t happen here. These two are already amazing characters on their own, but together they are something truly remarkable. I can’t wait to see what happens next for them!
Stay tuned for a recognized Ship on TV each week!

Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones on Netflix’s Jessica Jones, season 3. Even though I was extremely underwhelmed and disappointed with season 3 and the end of the series, there was one redeeming light that kept my attention and that is the talented and captivating Krysten Ritter. Please note that I have not included any major spoilers for your convenience. I have always been a fan of Krysten Ritter, but she really found her perfect role in this series, as she embraced it completely and really nailed the conflicted character. Even though Jessica sometimes comes off abrasive, Krysten still makes her incredibly charming and brings a likability to her, as you find yourself sympathizing with her circumstances.
Jessica has been through so much, but she still tries to repair and hold on to her friendship with her adoptive sister, Trish, but that proves to be quite the challenge in season 3. A lot of the episodes in season 3 moved incredibly slow and it felt like more of an obligation for me to watch, but I continued to be impressed by Krysten’s performance and it is worth mentioning here. Unfortunately Krysten couldn’t save the show enough to make this an entertaining watch for me, but I am still a fan and I can’t wait to see what role she takes on next!
What’s next for Jessica Jones? Well not much, since this is the end of the Marvel series on Netflix, but I am somewhat pleased with how they left the end of the show, deciding not to leave us with any loose ends that will continue to bother me later. I won’t give any spoilers here, but I think that Jessica Jones has been battling her own inner conscience for the entire series, which has been far from easy for her. While she previously just accepted being broken in some episodes, she does try to do the right thing, which makes her a reluctant hero, but a hero nonetheless. And I think that’s why we can all relate to her so much. She’s an everyday hero who has to deal with her own struggles in her life, but she still tries to make a difference.
If you do decide to sit through season 3, you will see Jessica and Trish’s views clash on how to make things right, which comes down to one’s moral compass. Sometimes it seems like the answer is to run away, but Jessica ultimately decides to face a lot of her problems head on, which makes me root for her that much more. Even though we are saying goodbye to Jessica Jones, I think it’s important to recognize Krysten Ritter’s performance throughout the series. Krysten really elevated the show and mesmerized me with her portrayal again and again. Bravo!
Stay tuned for a recognized performance on TV each week!

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 6 episode 2, I realized that sometimes “life gives you more than you thought,” but what if it doesn’t turn out exactly how you planned? Do you continue searching for that possibility or do you settle? Maybe it’s not settling at all, but accepting and understanding the love that’s been there in front of you the whole time. But nothing is ever that simple on our favorite show. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Flush With Love,” Liza and Kelsey attempt to approach Quinn about pushing back her book. Meanwhile, Zane decides to shake things up with Kelsey and Josh tries to prepare for fatherhood. My top 5 moments from Younger season 6 episode 2 are:
5
“Guess who wrote a masterpiece…it will be our first release!”
In episode 2, Kelsey is still adjusting to her demanding role as publisher, but quickly realizes that she has a new dilemma on her hands, when a focus group reacts strongly to Quinn’s book, Claw, and not in a good way. The group has some strong reactions, including one reader who hilariously asks if it is possible to unread something. Kelsey knows that it will not be easy to simply push back Quinn’s book release since she is her boss, but she worries about having a huge flop on her hands.
Kelsey and Liza team up to try and approach Quinn, but Quinn doesn’t want to hear it and decides to break out into a loud and obnoxious cheer at lunch to get everyone on board. Kelsey desperately wants to do the right thing here, but is she out of her depth?
4
“I don’t want to be friends with you anymore.”
I’m so glad I didn’t have to wait too much longer for a swoon-worthy moment between Kelsey and Zane since I ship them oh so much! Zane approaches Kelsey and tells her that he doesn’t want to be friends anymore. Kelsey realizes that he must have gotten a job, but Charles and Zane still have not revealed their big announcement just yet and I’m anxious to hear it.
However, Kelsey and Zane do share a passionate kiss so it looks like things are looking up for these two, but will Kelsey feel the same way once she finds out what the job is? We have to assume that Zane will end up being Kelsey’s competition, but I really hope it doesn’t get in the way of their relationship because these two are end game for me.
3
“This kid is so lucky to have you as a dad.”
Liza and Josh continue to share some sweet moments together, when Liza helps Josh out with some baby shopping. Liza has a lot of experience with being a mother and she helps Josh filter through the list so that he doesn’t panic so much. Liza tells Josh that he is going to be a great dad and I have to agree, but it looks like Josh doesn’t have much time to prepare when Clare’s water breaks at the reveal party, causing her to begin going into labor in the back of an Uber.
Clare and Josh have a healthy baby girl, but Liza watches Josh with his newborn with an interesting look on her face. It’s clear that Liza is beyond happy for Josh, but is she now having second thoughts about letting him go? I’m Team Charles all the way, but there have still been some lingering feelings floating over to Team Josh, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out, although it looks like Josh may be looking to get a second chance with Clare. We’ll have to wait and see!
2
“Put it in writing…baller move.”
After Kelsey comes up with a plan to back one of Reese’s books before Quinn’s, she starts to have second thoughts, especially when Charles puts his two cents in. Liza promises that she will no longer keep Charles in the loop, recognizing that it is putting a potential strain on her working relationship with Kelsey. Kelsey decides to channel her inner baller and meets with Quinn again. She strikes up a deal with her: she will release Quinn’s book first and if it’s a flop, Quinn promises she will walk away.
Kelsey doesn’t take any chances here and tells Quinn to put it in writing, but is she making the right call? Can we really trust Quinn to keep her word? Either way, I was very proud of Kelsey here in this moment because it’s not always easy standing your ground, but she does it so well!

“Did you mean this?”
Even though Liza, Kelsey, and Josh are all dealing with a lot of drama, Diana gets her moment in the spotlight as well. Diana and Enzo have an argument after Diana talks about how she used to always think she would end up with Charles. I know that Diana always speaks her mind, but maybe she should remember that some things can come out in a hurtful way, as she ends up driving Enzo away, who thinks that she is merely settling with him.
Enzo deserves better and he’s right, but luckily Diana realizes it before it’s too late. Diana has her story, “Flush With Love,” published in the newspaper, talking about her modern day romance with Enzo, but she also explains how it is important to dream about the man next to you, rather than focusing on the “man of your dreams.” Enzo asks Diana if she means it and the two have a sweet moment together.
I’m so glad that Diana realized that she has the real thing with Enzo because these two are absolutely adorable and I can’t bear to see them apart! There seems to be a lot of love in the air so far in season 6, but we know that drama is never too far away. Who will crack first? Stay tuned!

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching the CW’s The 100 season 6 episode 7, I learned that “giving up isn’t better” and that sometimes all we need is a little push. So do we take the easy way out or do we risk it all? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Nevermind,” Clarke is trapped within her shared mind space with Josephine and unlocks different memories from her past that lead her to the truth. Meanwhile, we also learn more about Josephine’s past, as Clarke and her face off. My top 5 moments from The 100season 6 episode 7 are:
5
“How is this possible?”
In the beginning of the episode, Clarke is present in her mind space and comes face to face with drawings of her past, including some of Wells and Lexa. Clexa fans everywhere held their breath when she touched the drawing of Lexa sweetly. Too bad she wasn’t actually there! Clarke eventually stumbles upon her father, who acts as a sort of guide to get her through this. She asks him how this is possible while realizing that she must have died, but comes to the conclusion that she is actually still alive. Clarke’s father inspires her to go and figure everything out and it was sweet to see him return in this episode, as he reminds his daughter not to give up just yet.

“I’d keep this memory safe…”
Clarke’s father is not the only one to make a special guest appearance in Clarke’s mind space, as we also get to see A.L.I.E again, otherwise known as “the bitch in the red dress,” according to Murphy. Clarke realizes that this is some kind of dream or hallucination, recognizing that she destroyed her, but A.L.I.E reminds her that she exists because of her and helps her find a memory that Clarke needs to keep safe. We flash to Clarke using the EMP on Raven to extract the chip, reminding us that everything that has happened to Clarke has prepared her for this battle now. Clarke’s memories are the key, but will she be able to find a way to wake up before it’s too late?

“I don’t go down easy.”
Clarke also gets to meet the real Josephine face to face, as Josephine tells her that this body isn’t big enough for the both of them. Josephine may be intimidating, but Clarke is not going out without a fight. We know that this shared mind space can only hold both of these identities temporarily, as Josephine explains what happens when they share a mind space for too long, which could result in a stroke or brain hemorrhage, killing them both. Both Josephine and Clarke want to survive and it doesn’t look like Josephine will stop looking for Clarke’s hidden memory. However, this also leads them both to re-visiting some traumatic memories as well that take a toll on them.

“Why are you so torn up?”
After crossing paths with Octavia and Maya, Clarke’s guilt begins to overwhelm her. Josephine points out that perhaps she has killed more people than she has actually saved, but recognizes that she did what she had to do. Clarke tries to hide the memory about Raven, but Josephine tracks it down at the spot where Finn died. This is one of Clarke’s most painful memories and Josephine also brings up Lexa, but Clarke warns her to be quiet, showing her vulnerability when it comes to her lost love. Clarke wants to be there for Madi and her friends, but Josephine starts to get through to her, realizing that she may need to sacrifice herself to save them once again. But is she truly ready to say goodbye to her life forever?
1
“Giving up isn’t better!”
It seems like Clarke is ready to say goodbye to her life, but Monty shows up to remind her about who she is and how she can truly do better. I thought it was fitting to see Monty here because he always represented the hope and goodness of everyone. Monty teams up with Clarke and they sneak past the door to Josephine’s own memories and unlock some of her painful ones as well. It looks like Josephine has a lot of issues to work through too, but some of her memories were quite disturbing and she is clearly not over them just yet. Clarke uses this to her advantage and ends up sending Morse code out to Bellamy using Christmas lights and Bellamy spells out: ALIVE.
I’m so glad that Bellamy was the one to see this because he has always had Clarke’s back and he now knows that they need to find a way to save her before it’s too late. This is why I am such a huge Bellarke fan! I have to say that this was one of my favorite episodes of the series and the show did a fantastic job of bringing back some of our favorite characters while continuing the story-line forward, which worked beautifully. Clarke’s past is always there, but it looks like she is discovering that sometimes you need to use the past to drive forward to the future. I think it’s about time we get our girl Clarke back for good! Stay tuned!

Happy Monday TV fans! After watching AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 3, I realized that “there’s words and there’s action” and that it’s always possible for one’s luck to turn around. You may think that you are on the right track, but what if you discover a new path on the way? Do you abandon that former journey or do you circle back and chase down the past? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Humbug’s Gulch,” John Dorie and June walk into the wild wild west of walkers and discover another possible threat. Meanwhile, Alicia tries to get through to the kids over the walkie with Morgan and Luciana’s support. My top 5 moments from Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 3 are:
5
“Welcome to the gulch…”
John Dorie and June come across one of John’s old stomping grounds, Humbug’s Gulch, bringing us right into the wild west. There’s even a brothel (which apparently just serves soup), a dust storm, and a gun fight to really make you feel like you are in the middle of an old Clint Eastwood movie, but our favorite cowboy, John Dorie, does not disappoint. John is very familiar with this place, even though theatrics were never really his thing.
June seems interested as well and wants to know if John was a good guy or a bad guy, as they search for suitable weapons and supplies. John seems focused on getting out of there before they run into more trouble, but this definitely set the scene for a much needed date night for our favorite couple. Maybe we could do without the walkers though…

“We should be comparing notes.”
John and June run into some trouble at the Gulch and in walks our old friend, Dwight. Hooray! I’m really happy that we did not have to wait that long for this crossover, as I have been anxiously waiting for it to happen since the season premiere. Dwight cuts right to the chase and asks them, “Where is she?” We quickly learn that he is referring to his wife, Sherry, who he has been trying to track down for quite some time. John and June are such amazing people and they recognize that Dwight is just trying to find his lost love, which is something they are both very familiar with.
John reasons with Dwight to get him to take a breath and calm down so that they can all get out of there together. Dwight listens to reason as introductions are made and he even gives us a few laughs when he asks John if his last name is “like the fish?” I guess John’s not the only one to make that connection. It was also hilarious to see John’s reaction to Dwight referring to the dead as “walkers,” but small talk will need to be put on hold, as they try to get out of the wild west alive.

“You don’t have to do it alone.”
Meanwhile, Alicia and Luciana can no longer hear John and June over the walkie, but they do come across a channel that the kids are using. Dylan, Max, and Annie are still out there and Alicia is determined to help them, even though they repeatedly tell her to stay away. After a few tries, Alicia decides to just have a real and honest conversation with them. She tells them, “I know how much you’re hurting…it’s not because I’ve been there. It’s because I amthere.” Alicia confides in them about losing her own family, trying to make some sort of connection with them.
I thought this moment was extremely important for Alicia because she has been bottling up her own feelings for quite some time and this was very therapeutic for her. Not only does she have the chance to reach someone else and help them, but she also takes the time to talk about her own feelings, which is not always easy to do.

“You’ve got another chance right now…”
John sets off a unique distraction with the piano, as they make their way out the window, only the roof is not going to support their weight for long. Dwight jumps off the roof, but ends up hurting himself, but he makes it to the car he has been searching for. Only now, the car is completely surrounded by walkers. Dwight takes out the note from Sherry which reads: “West on 30,” accompanied with an infinity sign. Dwight believes that this is the car from the registration, but he cannot find another message from Sherry, as defeat and hopelessness now overwhelm him. All hope is not lost; however, as June radios over to him and reminds him that he has another chance right now and that they have all done things they are not proud of.
John and June keep Dwight’s hope alive and get him out of a jam, as John shows off his impressing shooting skills and we even get to witness the famous “San Antonio Split,” which was quite entertaining to watch. After all, this is apparently only the second time he has been able to pull this off! Later on, John approaches Dwight and explains that the VIN did not match up and he believes this is not the car and it is possible that there is another one still out there, reminding Dwight not to give up.
John and June have so much goodness within them and I was so happy to see them share a kiss as well, reminding me why I ship these two so much. They really could have their own movie together, as they have such an epic and beautiful love and they inspire others with it…including me!

“We’re all trying to start over.”
At the end of the episode, everyone meets up again and Morgan and Dwight cross paths. They are shocked to see one another and Dwight immediately tries to explain his past actions, but Morgan stops him and tells him that he doesn’t have to say it, explaining that they are all trying to get a fresh start now. Alicia asks Dwight to show them how far he got, as they have been trying to figure out what is going on with this perimeter made out of walkers. The perimeter is quite overwhelming and our favorite characters are ready to get to work to figure out what is on the other side, but they are interrupted when Annie and the others try to reach Alicia over the walkie.
They start to head back to the truck stop, but find Dylan hurt in the van. Max and Annie are not there, but we quickly learn that they are not so innocent. We cut to them asking, “Do you think they bought it?” They continue working on the walker perimeter, but what is their end game here? Are the children the big bad and how is this connected to Al? What are their intentions for our group? We know they want them to stay away, but why? What are they hiding?
This is not the first time we have come across corrupt children in TWD universe who were too far gone to understand right from wrong, but I’m interested to find out more and if there is any room for change. I also am quite impressed if these three kids were able to do all of this alone, but is someone else pulling their strings? And if so, who? I can’t wait to find out more! Stay tuned!
