Revolution : Whose Happy Ending Is This ?! Sure As Hell Ain't Mine..


   Okay, no introductions, we all know what we're here for. First of all, Charlie is a character that gets scenes again ! So yay for that !




Connor really makes me laugh and I like his interactions with Charlie, mainly because he's such an arrogant idiot, and she's always laughing at him like 'man you dumb! Not shippin' dat shit tho, don't you worry.




So Bass and Miles unanimously decided they needed to buy mercenaries, and can you think of a better place to do that than hundreds of miles away ? Don't bother, there isn't. By the way, Bass is totally not looking/looking at her in that shot.




Ah, New Vegas. I hope they stay there forever. It's not that Willoughby wasn't fun (yes it is), but booze and sex everywhere, survival of the fittest style is just way better. So they get to New Vegas, a city full of memories of shirtless fighting, and what do you know, someone's pissed at Monroe. Enters Charloe.




   Dick guy is interpreting the situation like this : Charloe+Connor (third wheel), earning Charlie an appraising look. Love that reaction by the way, just "Really ?"




    And Bass got all like 'don't you look at my girl!' *finger snaps everywhere long live the finger snaps*, because he's awesome and because Charloe will go down fighting goddammit ! Okay so he really just snapped his fingers but hey, best part anyway ! Let's be serious here for a sec, he could've just moved on and be like 'Yeah yeah great talking to you where's Duncan?' But no he chose to establish himself as the protecting alpha male. Interesting choice Bass, I like the way you think.




Anyway, then they find Duncan and oh surprise surprise she's a girl and I hate her already.




   I consider this a Charloe friendly moment. Charlie pulls out her gun and points it at smiley's face and Bass has to talk her down. A first meeting like that between two women means it's freaking on. And I will bet you anything that their next interaction will start off being about Bass or end up like it, you'll see.




Anyway everybody's calmed down, Duncan is now very aware/convinced that Charlie is her competition. Good. Cuz she is.




Let's talk about Duncan some more. I hate her for existing but I have to admit I actually like her. She's got balls, ironically that's really all I need in a female character. She agrees to sell him some of her guys and then they start to negotiate. Well Bass tried to negotiate, and failed miserably, which was actually awesome. I'm sorry, I know all of this goes against everything that I believe in, but I like her !




   However, touch Bass and you're dead to me. That's the extent of my love for the character. Would like to point out that he looks more annoyed than impressed or even worse, respectful.




   So it had to come up at some point.. No, absolutely not, go to hell and die if that's fun for you but not this ! I can't even begin to describe my feels when my screen dissolved into this crime against all of humanity, a mix between are you f#cking kidding me, why would you do this to me, and just kill me now my life has no meaning anymore. Hysteric crying and ironic laughing were involved. All right fine, they're the same age so it's not creepy and all, but I hate to break it to you, it makes up for it by being boring. I believe it really means something that they showed absolutely no kissing, or actual sex or even sexual tension. Just a they-did-it scene. There was nothing, perfect illustration to what this was : nothing. She was bored, he's "cute", 2+2 = ... That's all this is, and excuse me but, if she finds him cute, what the hell does she think of Monroe ? Huh ??




   It was still the most betrayed I have ever felt by this show. But then, the only good thing that could have happened, happened. Sebastian Monroe. And he was rightfully pissed that his moronic son got it on with the one single acceptable female character on this show.




   And so he got pissed at Connor. Serves you right Connor, you're on super thin ice right now.. My question is : would he really be that pissed just because of Miles and Rachel's reaction ? I mean, they wouldn't be thrilled about it but so what she slept with a cute guy her own age, who happens to be Monroe's son but wasn't raised by him, it's not like she slept with Monroe himself. That, they would have been pissed about ! Projecting a little, aren't we ?




    And when Connor walks away, Charlie comes up to Monroe, in a super weird and suggestive way, I might add. She actually looked him up and down.




   I cannot, for the life of me, decipher that look. I'd like to think it's a little hurt and little longing. Yup, gonna go with that.





CHARLOE AHEAD. From the moment he surprised them in the dirt (getting dirty) his eyes have not left Charlie a single time when she was around. I'm not kidding, even when he walked in on them naked, he just stared at Charlie. Seriously go back up and check it out for yourselves. And sure enough when she walks away, like every single time she's walked away from him, his eyes just follow.











Yes, like I said, Charloe. A little more eye sex because, that's actually what we're really here for.




Eye sex and "Charlotte, try not to get yourself killed."



Follow her every move, not very subtle but not too obvious either !
Anyway, there was actually a plot developing between all the sex and crushed hopes. So Monroe's fighting the hulk and he's supposed to drag it out for Charlie and Connor to get the diamonds they need to pay for the mercenaries. And at some point during the fight, some dude comes and alert Ghoul or whatever his name is that there's a slight problem he might want to help with.




Once he's gone, Monroe goes into full badass mode. And ends the fight in like 10 seconds. 'Cause that's just how it's done.





Of course, that scene was absolutely not screencappable so we're gonna skip to the end which is a cliffhanger : Monroe and Connor are screwed. I hope Charlie's gonna be the one to rescue them, if it's Duncan I'm writing a letter to Kripke. Seriously, if he needs help finding ways to make Charloe acceptable to the larger public I'd be more than happy to help him with that.



Argh shit..

   All in all this was not such a bad episode for Charloe, I think we're setting things up for something greater than any of us can imagine. That's faith bitches. I'm actually terrified that this was Kripke's way of saying 'screw you Charloe fanatics, this is the era of Channor and Duncroe' which both sound terrible by the way. Charloe 'til the end. This ain't over. The ship may not be canon before a while but it will come in time, and we will wait, and the wait will make it that much more delicious. Believe fellas, believe.

Revolution : Please, Don't Screw It Up


    I'm seriously suffering from Revolution deprivation and I know you are too so I thought I'd rehash everything that could go wrong in the upcoming episodes ! Yay ! So, here goes my worst (irrational and not) fears for Revolution :


  • That the real action, and fighting and basically just the war we've been promised doesn't start until the last episode, which is (you're gonna hate me for making you realize this: ) only 7 episodes away.




  • That Miles and Rachel take up the entire ship time Revolution has to offer. I guess there must be people who ship it, I personally have nothing against it, but do we really need to make such a big deal out of it ? We know it's gonna happen, we've known since always, it's a non-issue really, in my head it's already done. 




  • That they'll never all, every single one of them, be in the same f#cking place at the same f#ucking time ! Aaron, if you mess this up you're dead to me ! #NevillesOnTheWay!!!






  • That Jason and Charlie being near each other will be irrelevant to the Charloe story. Jealousy, when well-executed is a great emotion for a male character to be feeling. Just saying..




  • That Jason and Charlie being near each other will be a little too relevant to the Charloe story. Don't go stealing that girl !




  • Psychotic Bass is a psycho. Everybody loves Bass, those who don't already, will, at some point, it's inevitable just stop fighting it, join us, let it happen .. Okay, enough on the creepiness. What I seriously don't want is for him to revert back to the lonely, paranoid little dictator ! Just be cool, bro..




  • That Bass and Charlie will develop a Miles/Charlie relationship.. Just FYI, I don't condone incest. So don't go there, don't even hint at it and we won't have a problem. Actually, just don't do anything that goes against Charloe as a general rule !




  • That Charlie stays the second class character they've made her into. She's getting less and less lines. Sure she can be like, a quiet strength or something, I could get on board with that but here, it's just sad, she does not get more than 2 or 3 lines per episode. Please change that, she is supposed to be one of the main character if not the main character (like in season 1 for instance, just putting it out there).


Give me lines.. Please ?

  • Connor and Charlie sittin' in a tree... NO! Absolutely not, I refuse, this will not happen, impossible, nay, DENIED!




  • I think my worst fear of all is that they actually do Connor/Charlie (what would that even be ?? Connie ? Channor ??) and that I'd like it. Because Connor would not be another Jason, so it could actually be interesting but then, I mean, what about Bass ?! Just don't even present me with the possibility and it'll all be all right.




   I think that about sums it up ! Most of my fears are actually about Charlie and what they're gonna do with her character.. So! Tell me if I missed anything, which, let's face it, there's a fair chance I did. I also wanted to thank you for the Charloe support, I really love when you people comment on what I have to say, so feel free to do whatever it is you do! *There might be a hint hidden in there somewhere.. ^^

The Vampire Diaries : F#ck That Show, Seriously ..


   Okay so I have mixed feelings about this one. It was pretty good you know, made me cry and all .. That ending though .. I'm just not sure how I feel about that.




   So, Katherine's not dead, good. I honestly wasn't that worried about her actually dying but you know, let's give credit where credit is due. The thing is, Katherine stole Elena's body in order to survive. So she's alive and looks like herself (also good), but that was really nasty, it's like the bitchiest she's ever been. It' clearly not the worst thing she's ever done, I mean, bitch has killed people. Lots of them. But taking Elena's body is still taking it pretty far, especially after she got forgiveness from almost everyone that mattered. Stefan is the only one that really mattered but still !





   I still personally believe she's redeemable. Actually I don't even care whether or not she's redeemable as long as she's happy about herself ! .. I think my moral compass might be way off..




   So, Damon and Elena, yeah, okay, nothing there.. I'm not even bummed that there wasn't a lot of Delena, I just don't care, it's like, I knew the no-talking-to-each-other-under-any-circumstances was coming, and it came, and I just don't give a shit anymore. This is really sad, I just really really don't care. All the pro-Delena Stefan speeches were nice though. I don't know if it's really what he wants or if he's just being the selfless good brother and whatnot. But I don't care either, it was good, keep it that way.




    Damon and Elena fighting for each other, yeah why not ? Go ahead, don't take your time too much and then we'll talk.




Why hello there.




   I'm not gonna lie I was happy to see Klaus back in TVD, finally ! But I'm sorry, once again, I've missed the point of it. Why the hell did he come back ? What was the point of just being in the area ?! That did not make any sense, I get that the Caroline/Klaus thing needed to happen (so majorly underwhelmed by that btw) so that it could just be done and over with, but it didn't make sense. For like half the episode I was hoping he was there to somehow save Katherine.. for some reason. But no, he just wanted to be around when she died, because apparently, Damon called him. I'm not even gonna dwell on that, I just don't care : this show is getting worse and until it gets better, there's no point in pointing out absolutely everything that's wrong with it.




   Klaus and Caroline, as I've said, it needed to happen. I've never been that much into their story line but it was nice to have that going you know, and I feel like the conclusion to that was quickly taken care of so that we could just move on, and honestly I'm kind of disappointed. But it's still a good thing done and we did need to move onto the next one ! Like I said, mixed feelings all around.




   So, Elijah wasn't really back. My feelings are not mixed on this. This was the worst torture of all, it was so f#cking cruel. Okay, so there's this supposed triangle in the Originals, -actually I don't even know what it is anymore.. it could be a triangle ! Elijah and Hayley have this thing going on, and seriously it's not even interesting, it sure as hell ain't intriguing, it's just bad. Anyway, Elijah seriously could not move his ass over to Mystic Falls to say goodbye to the dying woman he's loved for 5 centuries ??! Really ?! That's just mean. You're playing with my feelings Julie Plec, and I don't like it.





   However, I have a thing for Stefan/Katherine, which was almost nonexistent in this episode. The little we got was actually pretty good but, I mean, that's it ?! She is gonna be hated now, she stole poor little Elena's body, okay, bitchy (we've established that), but would they really rather she died ?! She's fun. I think she's actually the only fun character now (Damon hasn't really been that fun, being a martyr and all, and well, the other fun dude was Klaus). Would they really rather have Elena live at the cost of being stuck forever in a dull, boring, pointless world ? Yeah, okay, right, good call..





   So, yeah, Katherine's a bitch. I really don't know what's gonna happen. Clearly, Elena's not gonna die, but they're gonna have to find a way to save her and all. I really don't know, I hope Katherine doesn't revert back to having absolutely no allies. Every time the Vampire diaries tries to do some big twist, it's always unexpected and essentially good but I feel like what follows can't possibly match up to the expectations. Plus, Katherine did something that's really not that easy to forgive and they have let so much slide already. And now she does that.. I mean Elena is dead, she did kill her.

 


That being said, we know she's not gonna die so theoretically she's okay. But yeah even if she doesn't die, right now she's still dead, so okay, she did kill her but hey, you know, it happens to all of us ! Just go with it




    It was so obvious that she was scheming when she thanked Elena for her forgiveness. I mean seriously, she was on her death bed, after living for 500 years.. On that scale Elena is insignificant really, her forgiveness is clearly not a priority here. And Elena's all like "Yeah you're welcome it's what I do, I'm awesome" well maybe if you weren't so full of yourself you'd still be alive. Think about that when you inevitably come back from the dead.

 
Oh you forgive me ? How nice, really, it's sweet, yeah you too, really 'preciate it *blows kisses*..DIIIIE!

   All in all, i'm disappointed, I don't even feel like talking about it anymore.. Moving on. Oh, and Tyler's back. And Caroline just slept with Klaus. Serves 'em right, both of them, it's gonna be crap for them I'm happy about that. Tyler has lost any and all interest he might have held before when he left and Caroline became a bitch. I'm so freaking loyal to this show seriously.. Award please ??
