Ranking the top 5 moments from “Supernatural” Season 15 Episode 2: “Raising Hell”

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 15 episode 2, Castiel reminded us that life may be an obstacle course, but we do run our own race. Sometimes it may feel like we are just puppets, but we can still determine our own fate and what we do each day is real and significant. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet.

In last night’s episode, “Raising Hell,” some familiar faces show up since it’s basically all hands on deck at this point, but is there anyone who can stop these souls from taking over the world? Meanwhile, Chuck/God has a family reunion and Dean and Castiel have a heart-to-heart talk. My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 15 episode 2 are:

“Am I interrupting something juicy?”

It’s always great to see Rowena, who shows up to help the Winchesters out of this jam. Rowena is willing to help, but she does point out that a town full of ghosts is extremely messy even by Winchester standards. Rowena also seems to be quite familiar with the leader of the ghosts, Francis. Will she be able to put a dent in his plan or do we need some more recruits to fight the good fight? Either way, I always want Rowena on my side!

“Ketch…how are you here?”

Rowena is not the only one to show up to help out, as Ketch makes a grand entrance as well. Ketch and Rowena have an interesting vibe going on, although Sam and Dean don’t seem to be too interested in this love connection. Ketch claims that he wants to help, but things get interesting when he becomes possessed by Francis.

After Dean uses an iron bullet on him, Ketch reminds him that this isn’t the first time he has tried to kill him, but Castiel cannot heal Ketch, which means that something is definitely off in the universe. It looks like our former assassin is all right for now, but everyone will need to be more careful moving forward.

“What about all of this is real? We are.”

It wouldn’t be Supernatural if we didn’t get some kind of motivational speech and Castiel and Dean stop to have a heart-to-heart chat. Dean is still feeling very defeated, but Castiel maintains a positive spin. I think that Castiel makes a significant point and I’m just hoping that Dean can truly see the good that they are all doing. There is always this dynamic when one character loses faith, but I’m hoping that they can all find some way to keep on believing in the final season.

“You’re on your own.”

Dean is not the only one to think twice about life and his purpose, as Chuck/God decides to pay his sister a visit. Amara is not exactly pleased to see her brother and seems to be perfectly content right where she is. Chuck wants to take on some kind of family project, clearly searching for something else beyond the world he just abandoned, but it looks like he is starting to realize his mistake.

Later on, Amara detects that Chuck is not at full strength and it appears that he has also been weakened by the bullet. When Chuck touches the wound on his shoulder, Sam also feels it, which means that they are somehow linked. I started thinking about what this means and I was wondering if Sam could be next in line to be the new “God” of the world?

Maybe it’s time for someone else to take over and perhaps this link will allow him to do so. We’ll have to see how this plays out, but it’s clear that Chuck and Sam’s fates are now intertwined.

“I love you guys…”

Kevin also shows up during this episode, but Dean is extremely surprised to see him since he was under the impression that he was in heaven. Chuck/God lied about this, which means he could have been lying about a lot of other things, but Kevin is now basically trapped between Hell and earth. Apparently once a soul has been to Hell it can’t go to heaven and Chuck/God is no longer on the Winchesters’ side, so it looks like Kevin doesn’t have much of a choice here.

It’s clear that Kevin thinks of Sam and Dean as his true family and I’m hoping that they can find a way to help him. However, it looks like they need to first tackle the issue of more souls coming out to play, which makes me wonder how they will get out of this one? Stay tuned SPN family!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Riverdale” Season 4 Episode 2: “All That Jazz”

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Riverdale season 4 episode 2, I realized that life certainly goes by fast, so we should stop to truly savor it. Sometimes it may be time for a fresh start, but are we really able to leave our past in the rear view mirror? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet.

In last night’s episode, “Chapter Fifty-Nine: Fast Times at Riverdale High,” Jughead receives an offer that could change his life forever. Meanwhile, a new principal is making waves, but Cheryl is not going to let anyone stand in her way. My top 5 moments from the Riverdale season 4 episode 2 are:

“I stand only with and for myself.”

In this episode, Veronica has a lot of drama thrown her way, especially when the paparazzi want a statement regarding where she stands in terms of her mother and father. Veronica does her best to avoid them, but when a story is leaked about her own actions, she decides to pay her father a visit. Hiram reminds his daughter that she’s a “Lodge through and through,” but Veronica decides to make a statement with flair.

She puts on a show-stopping number of “All that Jazz” and explains that she is not supporting either one of her parents. It looks like Veronica is ready to embrace her own fresh start, as she decides to legally change her name to Veronica Gomez, ready to strip away the Lodge family name. Will she truly be able to leave her family drama behind though?

“Bros for life.”

Reggie gets some well deserved screen time during the episode, as we dive more into his relationship with his father. After several mentions of this in season 3, everything is now out in the open about Reggie’s dad abusing him. Archie refuses to stand by and say nothing, and he and Reggie bond when Reggie decides to finally stand up for himself, damaging his father’s precious car in the process.

It seems like everything is getting better for now and Archie and Reggie claim to be “bros for life,” but I have a feeling that Reggie’s dad will not go away quietly. Either way, I thought this was an important moment for both of them, bonding over the concept of family, especially when Archie just lost his own father.

In a lot of ways, Archie reminded me of Fred here, always trying to do what is right to help someone in need. Your dad would be proud of you, Archie!

“Your name may be Honey, but I will always be the Queen Bee!”

Cheryl is still keeping dead Jason a secret, but decides to focus her full attention on the Back To School Dance. Only the new principal, Mr. Honey, has decided to cancel it. Mr. Honey is played by the amazing Kerr Smith (Charmed, Dawson’s Creek, Final Destination) and I have to say that he is really making some waves at school. Is he the new villain in town? Will he and Chad Michael Murray have a showdown to see who is the ultimate 90’s teen icon?

We’ll have to wait and see what his plans are, but it’s clear that Cheryl is not going down without a fight. After Mr. Honey calls the cops to break up her party, Cheryl decides to kick things up a notch, leaving an actual beehive on Mr. Honey’s desk. Something tells me that this is only the beginning of a feud between these two, but Mr. Honey better watch his back!

“I believe in you.”

Betty and Charles continue to work together to find out where Edgar is so they can get Alice out of there safely. Kevin tries to make amends with Betty and he seems sincere, but Charles thinks that Kevin may still be working with the Farm. After Kevin confides in Betty about just wanting to stay connected to Fangs, Betty tells him about her mother being undercover at the farm.

Is this the right move though? Betty is typically smarter than this and she has just risked exposing her mother, but she tries to tell Charles that Kevin is on their side. Toward the end of the episode, Kevin learns that Edgar has a lot of weapons, but what is he planning on doing next? Is he looking to go to war? Let’s hope that Alice will be OK!

“It’s the chance of a lifetime.”

During the episode, we get some hot and steamy moments for both Varchie and Bughead, but Betty really proves just how supportive she can be when she encourages Jughead to go to Stonewall Prep. We are introduced to another new character, Mr. Chipping, who sees a lot of potential in Jughead’s writing.

At first, Jughead just wants to finish out his senior year with his friends, but Betty reminds him that he should take this opportunity and promises that they can make it work no matter what.

Betty is so incredibly supportive here and I have to say that this was an important moment for Bughead. It seems like it is going to be the start of a good year, but we do flash-forward to spring break. Everyone is looking through the woods for Jughead and so the mystery begins. Stay tuned!

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on Riverdale in the comments section below. Thank you so much for reading and happy viewing!

Greetings TV Fans! As we enter into the Fall season, some of our favorite shows will be returning with new episodes and we can also look forward to some brand new shows as well that seem to have a lot of potential. Looking to find out when they all start and where to watch them? You came to the right place!

While some of our favorite returning shows already have 2019 premiere dates announced, others are still giving out a late 2019/early 2020 vague response, but it looks like we have plenty of shows to watch in the meantime! Without any further delay, the 2019 Fall TV premieres I am most looking forward to are:

American Horror Story: 1984 (Season 9)

Premiere date: Wednesday, September 18th 2019

Where to watch: FX Network

Welcome to Camp Redwood! Who doesn’t love the 80’s? The ninth season of AHS looks like it is going to provide us with a lot of slasher fun and nostalgia. While Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters will not be on the newest season (sigh), we do have some fan-favorites returning, including the wonderful and brilliant Emma Roberts.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Season 14)

Premiere date: Wednesday, September 25th 2019

Where to watch: FXX Network

I mean, who doesn’t love laughing along with our friends from Paddy’s Pub? The gang is back and I can’t wait to see what schemes they come up with next. After Mac’s moving dance performance, anything is possible! Perhaps another Charlie Kelly episode? There is plenty of Charlie work to go around after all.

Evil (New Series)

Premiere date: Thursday, September 26th 2019

Where to watch: CBS

I don’t know about you, but I am definitely down to watch another show with Luke Cage’s Mike Colter, but it looks like he will be trading in his super hero strength in order to investigate demonic possessions and other supernatural threats. I’m in!

Light as a Feather (Season 2, Part 2, episodes 9-16)

Light as a feather 9 10 — Image courtesy of Hulu

Premiere date: Friday, October 4th 2019

Where to watch: Hulu

Light as a feather…stiff as a board. I never get tired of hearing that and I’m hoping that the second half of season 2 can bounce back and provide us with some spooky haunting fun. This show is extremely addicting and there are constantly new twists and turns so I personally can’t wait!

The Walking Dead (Season 10)

Premiere date: Sunday, October 6th 2019

Where to watch: AMC

It’s time to silence the Whisperers once and for all, but what threats will emerge next? As we approach season 10, we know that this will be Michonne’s last season, but what does that mean for her character? I can’t wait to find out!

Riverdale (Season 4)

Riverdale 9 10 — Image courtesy of The CW

Premiere date: Wednesday, October 9th 2019

Where to watch: The CW

After that cliffhanger ending in season 3, it looks like we will have a new mystery to dive into for season 4, which centers around one of our main characters. What secrets will emerge next? Stay tuned!

Nancy Drew (New Series)

Nancy drew 9 10 — Image courtesy of The CW

Premiere date: Wednesday, October 9th 2019

Where to watch: The CW

It looks like I will be busy on Wednesday nights indefinitely! Nancy Drew is one of my favorite book series of all time and this new series looks like a dark and grown up version, giving me some Riverdale and Pretty Little Liars feels right off the bat. I’m in 100 percent!

Supernatural (Season 15) *Final Season*

Premiere date: Thursday, October 10th 2019

Where to watch: The CW

How will it all end for the Winchesters? After that cliffhanger ending in season 14, it looks like our favorite hunters have a lot of work to do, but luckily they have some backup in our favorite angel, Castiel. What can we expect for the final season? I’m not sure, but I would love to see some fun nostalgia sprinkled in with some returning guest stars. It will be beyond difficult to say goodbye, but I know that the series will end the way it is intended to and I’m looking forward to watching these final adventures with Sam and Dean.

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

Breaking Bad 9 10 — Image courtesy of Netflix

Premiere date: Friday, October 11th 2019

Where to watch: Netflix (to be released at a later date on AMC)

So I initially didn’t think to put this on the list since it is technically a movie, but how can I leave out one of my favorite series of all time?! Jesse Pinkman is back and Breaking Bad fans everywhere can rejoice, as we finally get to find out what happens next in the story!

The Purge (Season 2)

The purge 9 10 1 — Image courtesy of the USA Network

Premiere date: Tuesday, October 15th 2019

Where to watch: USA Network

What happens on Purge Night doesn’t necessarily stay on Purge Night. I love The Purge movies and when I first heard about the television series last year, I really didn’t go into it with high expectations. Well I was in for a huge surprise, as this show became one of my favorite series of the year. It’s fast paced, surprising, and a lot of fun and I can’t wait to see what happens in season 2 as we follow a brand new group of characters. Are you ready, citizens?

Castle Rock (Season 2)

Castle rock 9 10 — Image courtesy of Hulu

Premiere date: Wednesday, October 23rd 2019

Where to watch: Hulu

The Stephen King anthology series was another bone-chilling and haunting surprise for me last year and I have been waiting quite some time for a premiere date announcement for season 2. Well it looks like we are in luck, as new episodes will return right before Halloween, which certainly seems fitting. It looks like we will follow a new story and a new group of characters in the mysterious town of Castle Rock, but I am hoping to get some Easter eggs or connections to season one. We shall see!

Shameless (Season 10)

Shameless 9 10 — Image courtesy of Showtime

Premiere date: Sunday, November 10th 2019

Where to watch: Showtime

We said goodbye to fan-favorite, Fiona Gallagher for good last season, but can season 10 keep the Gallaghers relevant? Let’s hope so! While I am disappointed that Fiona will no longer be on the show, it looks like we will need to turn our attention to Lip, especially now that he is going to be a father. The laughs never fail on one of my favorite series of all time and I can’t wait to see what the Gallagher family does next!

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to comment on any TV Premieres that YOU are looking forward to watching in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Best,

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The 100” season 6 episode 13 Season Finale: “Tell Me It Was Worth It”

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching the CW’s The 100 season 6 episode 13 season finale, I learned that sometimes accepting the truth isn’t always possible. If we have been brought up on a lie, do our lives still have meaning when the lie is finally exposed or is there still a chance to discover the truth within ourselves? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In last night’s episode, “The Blood of Sanctum,” Clarke continues to pose as Josephine, but things get a little tricky when she realizes that many innocent lives are at stake. Meanwhile, Murphy tries out being a hero, Abby’s fate is revealed, and Octavia’s destiny becomes more complicated. My top 5 moments from The 100 season 6 episode 13 season finale are:

“Who’s the hero now?”

You are, John Murphy! Especially after you had that “interesting” kiss with that guy from Sanctum! Murphy was really committing to the role, but he did say he was a good kisser. Good thing Emori isn’t the jealous type. Either way, I was thrilled to finally see Murphy do the right thing to help his friends.

After the truth is revealed about the Primes, non-believers are being killed, but Murphy decides to get his friends out of there and brings them to the palace to move them out of harm’s way. Murphy still contemplates just doing what is right for him and his friends, but risks it all and continues with this dangerous charade to help everyone in need. Thanks Murphy!

“I am sorry for your loss.”

Meanwhile, Clarke realizes that she cannot let Russell and the other Primes kill any more innocent people and she decides to turn the tables on them, revealing her true identity. Russell is beyond upset to find out that his daughter is dead and he turns further down his path of revenge. We get a small glimmer of hope when Simone turns the gun on her people, telling Clarke that she is really Abby and that she has been pretending too.

Clarke holds on to this hope for just a second, but is smart enough to ask Abby what her father’s name is. Simone’s plan fails and Clarke pulls the fail-safe switch, ultimately floating and killing Simone in Abby’s body. I was already so incredibly heartbroken from last week’s episode, but I was still holding on to the hope that Abby might somehow be OK. However, that hope was ripped away from us in the season finale, as we said goodbye to Abby Griffin for good. May we meet again. You will be missed!

“You’re as weak as her…”

After Clarke goes through the trauma of losing her mother, she cannot bear to lose Madi too. However, the Dark Commander is not making things easy, as he continues to control Madi, manipulating Russell into following him toward an even darker path of revenge. The Dark Commander tells Clarke that Lexa told him that she was strong, but he thinks that she is weak because of her love. Clarke holds a gun to her head, trying to get through to Madi and is successful, as Madi is able to surface with perfect timing.

Raven comes in the clutch and reminds Clarke that they need to take out the flame to save Madi. Clarke is beyond grateful and the two bond for a moment over losing Abby, which was touching to see. Madi may not be the Commander anymore, but she is alive and we can all breathe a sigh of relief…at least for the moment.

“Tell me it was worth it.”

Despite all the heartbreak in this episode, we do get a beautiful Bellarke moment, as Bellamy and Clarke embrace after everything is over. Clarke asks him if they truly did better and Bellamy tries to convince her that they are making a step in the right direction, but how will Clarke cope without her mother? Now that we know that The 100’s season 7 will be the last season of the show, is there hope for Bellarke to finally be together? Fingers crossed! Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed this small moment and pretty much any embrace between Bellarke makes me swoon!

“Side by side…like it was meant to be.”

Even though a lot of the attention is centered on Clarke in this episode, Octavia continues to try and redeem herself, making her an even more interesting character. Octavia never ceases to surprise me and she is the first one to tell Gabriel that she is willing to help save the innocent people of Sanctum, truly embracing the role of a hero. Octavia continues to make courageous decisions now and it looks like her destiny is about to be explored even further when Gabriel discovers that the Anomaly Stone has formed tattoos on her back. Gabriel has been studying these for quite some time and believes that Octavia is the key...but the key to what?

When Octavia touches the stone, the intense green light is released and our favorite characters are greeted by….Diyoza’s grown-up daughter, Hope, who stabs Octavia, causing her to vanish before their very eyes. Bellamy screams out for his sister and our favorite characters are left out in the open. We can only assume that this is either the Anomaly itself or it has somehow taken over Sanctum.

We know there are other planets that still exist based on what Russell said, but I’m not sure where are characters are now, but it looks like we have our setup for season 7. Will Octavia be OK? Is Clarke stuck in the same Anomaly? We’ll have to wait and see, but I can’t wait to see how it all ends! Stay tuned!

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own theories and thoughts on The 100 in the comments section below. Thanks for reading and happy viewing!

Best,

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The 100” season 6 episode 12: “We Turn the Page”

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching the CW’s The 100 season 6 episode 12, I learned that we can always try to “do better today than we did yesterday” and that it’s never too late to make amends. Maybe we’ll make someone proud or maybe we’ll get a chance to say what we need to, but we can never fully prepare for the moments that come next. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Adjustment Protocol,” Clarke continues to pose as Josephine, hoping to create a distraction that will allow Bellamy and Octavia to get past the shield. Meanwhile, Abby has a heartfelt chat with Raven, Murphy and Emori truly contemplate immortality, and Gabriel tries to make things right with the truth. My top 5 moments from The 100 season 6 episode 12 are:

“I will kill you for this.”

When Abby sees Clarke, she is hopeful that her daughter is still present, but Clarke needs to keep up appearances and says, “Oh stop. I’m not her.” Abby threatens Russell and tells him that she will kill him for this and she means business. Poor Abby. My heart honestly went out to her in this moment. Even though she is consumed by grief, she still holds on to her strong will and integrity through it all. Marcus would be proud Kabby fans!

“You’re fine until you’re not.”

Meanwhile, Bellamy and Octavia anxiously wait outside the shield, looking for their way into Sanctum. They are with the Children of Gabriel and everyone is chanting “death to Primes,” but Bellamy continues to place the burden on himself. Octavia tells him to have a little faith and perhaps that is exactly what he needs to hear. Even though it will take a long time for these two to be completely OK, I thought this was a sweet moment and perhaps Octavia will be able to redeem herself after all.

“I’m proud of you, Murphy.”

Initially, Murphy and Emori decide to accept Russell’s offer of immortality, but everything comes with a price. After Murphy witnesses what happens next, he has a change of heart and they decline the offer. Clarke tells Murphy that she is proud of him and Murphy realizes that she is not Josephine, explaining that Josephine always called him John.

Clarke and Murphy have been through so much together and Murphy was always the first one to call her out and blame her for everything, but here in this moment, he sees things clearly and realizes that there is much more at stake here. After all, can you truly have a meaningful life if you never die? Like Clarke, I was extremely proud of Murphy here, but let’s hope this is enough to spark him into action. We need all the help we can get now!

“It’s all a lie.”

Bellamy gets through to Priya when he threatens to destroy her son’s mind drive once and for all and she comes clean and tells all of Sanctum that everything is a lie. The Primes are not divine and the truth can be a dangerous thing, but Russell refuses to go quietly, releasing the Red Sun toxin into the air, which creates a form of mass hysteria. Priya is stabbed by Delilah’s mother, now realizing that her daughter is truly dead and everything is finally out in the open.

Now that Sanctum is basically at war, where will our favorite characters go to survive? We’ll have to stay tuned to find out, but we’re running out of places where they can go. The Primes are looking to board the ship and come face to face with Indra and the others, so it looks like we are going to have a jam-packed season finale next week!

“I was focusing on what I lost and not what I have.”

Abby continues to try and protect Madi, injecting herself to keep her friends and family safe. After all, “like mother, like daughter.” Clarke and Abby also have a heartwarming moment, as Abby is relieved to discover that her daughter is actually still alive. We also get to witness a beautiful moment between Abby and Raven. Abby apologizes to Raven and tells her that she is her family, which brought tears to my eyes. A lot of heartfelt speeches in one episode is never a good sign on The 100, however.

Russell turns the tables on Abby and decides to take her as his next host for Simone. Simone now takes over Abby’s body and Clarke is overwhelmed with grief. Clarke was able to still hold on once she had the mind drive in her own head, but is it possible for Abby to do the same? I’m not sure, but I am beyond heartbroken and I am hoping that there is a chance that she can somehow still be OK.

Abby is smart and resourceful, so is it possible that she found a way out of this? The “like mother, like daughter” comment comes to mind again here. Is it possible that someone intervened and Abby is posing as Simone? We’ll have to wait and see, but for now it looks like the real Abby is gone and I’m not sure I can handle that. I’m still staying positive though! May we meet again. Stay tuned!

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own theories and thoughts on The 100 in the comments section below. Thanks for reading and happy viewing!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The 100” season 6 episode 11: “For Monty”

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching the CW’s The 100 season 6 episode 11, I learned that “mistakes are forgivable. Not learning from them isn’t.” But what if we continue to make the same mistakes again and again? Is there any chance that we can obtain that fresh start or are we destined to repeat our biggest regrets? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Ashes to Ashes,” Madi plays a dangerous game of chess with the Dark Commander, but will her quest for revenge consume her? Meanwhile, Clarke and Bellamy try to come up with a way to save their friends, Echo revisits her past, and Octavia attempts to make amends with her brother. My top 5 moments from The 100 season 6 episode 11 are:

“I want you to rule this world.”

The Dark Commander is not releasing his hold on Madi anytime soon, as he continues to manipulate her. A glimmer of Madi still remains; however, choosing to hurt Jackson rather than kill him. Madi is now being held captive, as her bone marrow is used to make Nightblood, but it’s only a matter of time before she breaks free. Madi is focusing her anger on getting revenge for Clarke, but will Clarke be able to stop her before she loses herself completely to darkness? The Dark Commander wants her to destroy everything and everyone, but what is his end game in this? Will Madi’s path of destruction somehow free him in the process? It seems that he is contained for now, but I am very concerned for our girl Madi!

“You’re a slippery one.”

Russell Lightbourne decides to use Murphy’s skills to get his daughter back, recognizing that Murphy typically does things that will benefit him in some way. Murphy is no stranger to playing both sides, but when Russell threatens to harm Emori if John fails, it seems the stakes are a bit higher for our favorite bad boy. Murphy seems to want to still help his friends, as he tries to tell Bellamy what is going on, but will Murphy be able to make a selfless choice in the end? We’ll have to wait and see!

“Hesitation is death.”

Echo is taken prisoner and Russell decides that she will be the first host used to test the Nightblood experiment and will be Simone’s new home. Echo refuses to give up and even stalls by revealing a bit about her own past, which was actually really interesting to see. As a child, she killed her friend to save her own life and took on her identity as “Echo,” working as an assassin for the Queen. Echo is no stranger to having her previous life wiped clean, but she clearly took her lesson of “hesitation is death” seriously, as she kills Ryker before he can turn the tables on her again. Echo is now a Nightblood, which makes her a target, but she is definitely someone I would want to have on my side.

“I need you in my life.”

Bellamy and Octavia finally get a chance to catch up in this episode and Octavia takes this time to try and make amends. Octavia explains that Bellamy was right for leaving her behind and says that everything’s changed. Octavia’s journey of self-reflection through the Anomaly has clearly had a major influence on her, but Bellamy is treading carefully here. Bellamy has been burned by Octavia before, but he does tell her that she is still his sister…just not his responsibility.

Octavia may not be looking for forgiveness, but she does want to make things right. She also says that Diyoza must have been killed by the Anomaly, but is that really true? Something tells me we haven’t seen the last of Diyoza. Either way, this was an important moment between Bellamy and Octavia. I am looking forward to witnessing more of her character transformation, but is it possible that Blodreina is truly gone for good?

“So I won’t fail.”

Clarke is so grateful to Bellamy for saving her, but now they also have to save their friends. Go Team Bellarke! Bellamy is concerned now that their bargaining mind drive is gone, but Clarke thinks that she can pose as Josephine. Bellamy is clearly worried about this plan, but we know that our girl Clarke can do anything she puts her mind to. Clarke and Bellamy are both trying to do better and agree to execute the plan “for Monty,” hoping to make him proud and taking his words to heart.

Clarke is actually pretty convincing as Josephine, but things get a little bit complicated when she sees what is happening with Madi. She lies to her and tells her that Clarke is gone, which is only going to fuel Madi’s fire, but we’ll have to see how long Clarke can keep this charade going. Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The 100” season 6 episode 10: “Can’t Do This Forever”

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching the CW’s The 100 season 6 episode 10, I realized that “we can let the bad things that happened to us define who we are or we can define who we are.” But it doesn’t hurt to have a little help or reminder from the people who love us 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, “Matryoshka,” the Lightbournes are out for revenge, which puts everyone in danger. Meanwhile, Josephine and Clarke continue to struggle to survive and Madi refuses to listen to reason. My top 5 moments from The 100 season 6 episode 10 are:

“The dream of Sanctum is already dead.”

After Marcus’s sacrifice, the Lightbournes are not happy and hold Abby and Raven as prisoners. Simone decides to be extra cruel and tells Abby that her daughter is dead, which is not exactly true. Abby has just lost the love of her life and the last thing she needs to hear right now is that her daughter is dead too. Russell fears that the truth about the Primes is going to spread to his people and places Sanctum under lock down as a precaution. Simone is out for blood and wants an execution, which puts the lives of our favorite characters in immediate danger, especially after Madi’s Dark Commander killing spree.

“The barrier between our minds is breaking down.”

Clarke and Josephine are running out of time and it looks like their only option is to team up at this point. I’m not sure they will ever be friends, even though Josephine seems to think that they are somehow, but Clarke understands the importance of survival and begins to improvise to save them some time by deleting some of Josephine’s memories. We get a glimpse into Josephine and Gabriel’s past and Clarke shows some sympathy here, but Josephine cannot be trusted and this body is not big enough for the both of them.

“Just take the flame out of her head.”

Madi continues to unravel in this episode, still under the control of Sheidheda, the Dark Commander. Gaia is taken prisoner as well and recognizes the threat, but Abby will not allow anyone to hurt a child. However, there is a sleeping army waiting for Madi’s command, which is not to be taken lightly, but perhaps there is another way. Raven thinks that Sheidheda can be deleted, but let’s hope she is able to do this before Madi strikes again.

“The answer’s not immortality…it’s morality.”

Well said, Raven and perhaps this is just the advice Murphy needs right now, as his betrayal is about to catch up to him. The group initially thinks that only one person will be executed and of course, Murphy is volunteered as tribute. However, after a member of Sanctum stabs Simone, Russell is out for blood and it is announced that the entire group will be burned at the stake.

Echo can’t save everyone with her bow and arrow, but luckily a light bulb goes off in Murphy’s head, explaining to Russell that bone marrow can be used to make someone a Nightblood. Abby jumps on board here and explains that she has the formula, which at least gets them 24 hours to convince Russell. Our characters are safe, but Russell decides to make an example out of the man who stabbed his wife, brutally burning him alive. It may have initially seemed like Simone was the bad guy, but Russell has a dangerous side as well.

“I’m not letting you go!”

When Josephine’s guards show up, it looks like Clarke is out of luck, but Bellamy is there to save the day! Josephine is disgusted by the cliche, but he uses this as an opportunity to get a message to Russell, hoping to bargain with Josephine’s mind drive. Bellamy and Octavia finally reunite briefly, but they need to put this on hold since Clarke’s life is in immediate danger. Gabriel seems willing to perform the procedure to remove the drive, but he does not want to live forever anymore, explaining to Josephine that they already had their time together even though he has loved her for centuries.

During the procedure, Josephine tries to hide in the mesh of Clarke’s brain, hoping to eliminate her once and for all, but Bellamy refuses to give up on Clarke and tells her to fight. Clarke destroys Josephine and wakes up, just in time for us to witness an absolutely swoon-worthy embrace between Bellarke! Yay! I’ll take any Bellarke moment I can get and this was worth the wait. It’s great to have our girl back, but what will Russell do now that Josephine is gone? Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The 100” season 6 episode 9: “Redemption”

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching the CW’s The 100 season 6 episode 9, I learned that “the path to the future goes through the past,” but once you face it, are you able to truly earn a second chance? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “What You Take With You,” the trippy weirdness continues, as Octavia takes a spiritual journey to discover the truth about herself. Meanwhile, Josephine/Clarke and Bellamy try to find Gabriel and Kane is conflicted about his own second chance. My top 5 moments from The 100 season 6 episode 9 are:

“You don’t want them to know the truth…”

Abby is beyond thrilled to have Marcus back in her life, but he is having a little bit of trouble adjusting to his new body and the actions that led to his return, which is to be expected. Abby tries to tell Marcus that this is a gift and begs him to accept it, reminding him that he is the man she fell in love with and that this doesn’t change that. Even though Marcus initially seems like he is trying to adjust, he recognizes that the Primes are lying to their people, as his host’s wife thinks that he is still living. Marcus tries to keep his moral compass intact, but this is not an easy call, as he also wants to be with Abby.

“I won’t let you die.”

Meanwhile, Josephine/Clarke and Bellamy continue on their own journey together, as Bellamy tries to track down Gabriel. Josephine asks Bellamy if they are going to be friends now, but it doesn’t look like Bellamy is falling for her act. However, we do discover that Clarke can hear them and Bellamy takes a moment to tell Clarke that he won’t let her die, which was a swoon-worthy Bellarke moment for sure. Josephine hilariously comments on how weird their relationship is, but their friendship has been through so much and I love every single moment we witness with them.

“Why can I see you?”

After the Children of Gabriel learn that Josephine is present within Clarke’s body, it’s off with her head…or almost, as Josephine reluctantly turns control over to Clarke so that she can escape. Clarke shows off her kick-ass fighting skills and clearly has not forgotten her time as Wanheda! Survival is important to Josephine, but Clarke begins to see Josephine right in front of her, reminding us that they are running out of time. Clarke radios over a message to Gabriel and tells him who she is and that she has Josephine within her mind, hoping to find a way out of this, but it looks like Clarke and Josephine are both in danger here.

“This is how we get our humanity back.”

Kane’s uncertainty continues and he wakes up some backup to help him figure this all out…Indra! It’s great to see Indra again, but she is shocked upon seeing Kane’s new body, but he quickly confirms that it is really him. Raven is on board to help as well, as Kane realizes what he must do. Abby is horrified to find out that Marcus plans on ending his life for good and speaks to him between the glass, desperately trying to get him to change his mind. Marcus loves Abby so much, but he understands what he needs to do now, ultimately floating himself, but not before we see him in his true form one last time.

Henry Ian Cusick has confirmed that he is leaving the show, but perhaps we will see him again in a flashback or a memory. “May we meet again.” He will absolutely be missed and I am still incredibly heartbroken over this, as I ship Abby and Marcus together so much! Kane’s fight may be over, but his memory will live on and I’m hoping his actions are enough to inspire Abby, so that she can find her own inner strength to stop the Primes before it’s too late.

“The anomaly gave me a second chance and now I need to earn it.”

The most interesting part of the episode for me involved Octavia and her spiritual journey into her past and the anomaly. Gabriel induces a kind of sleep or trance to find out what she saw in the anomaly, but Octavia seems to go on more of a journey of self discovery. We get to see Pike again, who sort of acts as Octavia’s guide on this journey, helping her tap into her past and her guilt. Pike asks Octavia what she truly wants and she first says, “Forgiveness,” but then comes to the realization that she is actually looking for redemption.

In a heartbreaking moment, we witness Octavia seeing Lincoln right before he dies, which still brings me to tears even now. Octavia faces off against the darkest part of herself, as Blodreina reminds her that “you are Wonkru or you are the enemy of Wonkru.” I never get tired of hearing that. After battling herself, Blodreina is no more, but Octavia Blake remains. Octavia is a fighter and she is about to prove herself to earn back her second chance.

Can she truly be redeemed? I’m not sure, but this is definitely a step in the right direction for her and it looks like things are going to get even more interesting when Josephine/Clarke shows up. The anomaly has shown Octavia the way, but we still don’t know where Diyoza is and Gabriel still seems to be infatuated with discovering the truth within it, so we definitely have a lot more to find out. Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The 100” season 6 episode 8: “Another Episode of No Good Choices”

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 from The 100 season 6 episode 8 are:

“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?

“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!

“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.

“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?

“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 9^th!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The 100” season 6 episode 7: “I Just Want To Live”

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 100 season 6 episode 7 are:

“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?

“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!
