That had nothing to do with Heaven.....that was Hell. If I had to describe Hell...it would be something like that...with Fire

Okay I am saying this now, SPOILERS for Saturday's Doctor Who.  It was called "Heaven Sent" (Series 9, Episode 11).  I know I don't usually review individual episodes (except Season Finales) unless they slap me.  This one slapped me and then asked to be paid because I liked it.  Wait...never mind. 

I am not going to summarize everything but I will give some thoughts. 

1.  That is the coolest...weirdest prison ever. 
2.  That was a lot of blood in the opening scene...whose was it....and why did the person who brought 
     the doctor there turn to dust....?
3.  That thing looked like it was right out of Harry Potter....can you say Dementor

Alright...those were my initial thoughts.  As always Twelve was exceptional.  He was it.  He was the only person there...well him and a CLOCKWORK dementor (seriously why are the most terrifying Who monsters clockwork?!?!?!).  He was amazing.  Just give Capaldi all the awards he is freaking phenomenal.

So all in all, I thought this episode was wondrous.   There was an air of mystery but enough hints that if you were paying attention, you kind of figured it out.  As we all know hindsight is 20/20 but I really did catch onto a few things before the big reveal even if I didn't quite put them together in time.  

For instance when he sees the portrait of Clara... my questions were: why is it so worn?  Is it really old? Wait, how long has it been there? Who drew it?  Did he draw it?  Why does it look ancient?

When he jumped out the damn window into the sea of skulls... Holy $hit that's a lot of skulls.  Wait...whose skulls are those?  They all look similar...  What species has skulls that uniform...humans don't...well not that uniform. 

Mind Storm Room...did Moffat forget he was writing Who and not Sherlock???  OMG Clara is in his storm room.  Even in Death she keeps him grounded. 

Was I the only one that questioned the f**king extra suit drying by the fire?  My initial reaction  "wait...how many times has he done that???" Turns out THAT is the right question!

So the "dementor" for lack of a better word needs "truths" or it kills him.  But why???  What secret(s) are they trying to get out of him and who is they?!?!?

"I am in 12"...that is a CLEAR reference to him being the 12th incarnation of The Doctor...right?!?!?!

That "diamond" wall said "Home"...I rewound it and clearly saw the word Home.  Everyone online said its the T.A.R.D.I.S.  I said "Gallifrey" and I got so many replies saying that was stupid, the T.A.R.D.I.S. is Home, duh.   

When things start to fall into place...Wait how long has he been there???  OMG all the skulls are him!  How many times has this happened?!?!  It's like f**king Groundhog Day!  Two billion years?!?!!?  Hold up, how come the diamond wall doesn't repair like the rest of the castle!??!!?

They keep you so involved in the scare factor, you don't realize who "They" clearly are.  The second he broke through the wall I literally screamed "Gallifrey!" And then squeed like an idiot when they showed the dome.   My brain caught up and....

Then he says this "You can probably still hear me so, just between ourselves, you've got the prophecy wrong. The Hybrid is not half-Dalek. Nothing is half-Dalek. The Daleks would never allow that. The Hybrid destined to conquer Gallifrey and stand in its ruins is Me." F**king Timelords messing with The Doctor...AGAIN!

People were like Holy $hit, he's the Hybrid!!! The movie is cannon!!! He is half human!!! And I'm over here like "Wait...isn't the little crazy girl calling herself Me these days???" So that's my prediction for the Finale.  The "hybrid" isn't the Doctor...its Me...and the Doctor is gonna either help or stop her.  Or it at least has something to do with Me.  He recognized her when she was Ashildr but couldn't place her.  She is significant to all this Gallifrey BS!  I could be totally wrong but that makes sense to...well me.  What do you think???


Below were my real time online musings as things progressed:

- Anyone else not realize the bugs were on the tv at first….I thought I had some unwanted guests
- "Whose been stealing my nightmares…" Yikes!
- He just…he just jumped out a f**king window…
- Awwww, Clara is in his “storm room” 
- So is the question, how many times has he done that….?
- Is he in azkaban…?
- "I am in 12"… What?!?!
- “I didn’t leave Gallifrey because I was bored, I lied”…..“I was scared…I ran because I was scared”

- “I’m not scared of hell…its just heaven for bad people” well you aren't wrong
- Did that just say “home”?  Like as in Gallifrey????
- Eeeeee Clara! Even if it’s just a memory…inner conscience…. what ever
- Dafuq just happened?!?! Did he die...?!!?!
- All the blood is his!?!?!?  The hand....the, the...whoa
- How long has he been there?!?!?!?
- Holy crap!!!! The skulls, they are all him….what?!?!?
- It’s Groundhog Day for the doctor!!!
- Did he just say 20,000 years that time?!?!?!?!??
- 2 billion years…good god
- What in the what what…what?
- I'm not okay...send help...and wine...

I watched 13 Episodes in 3 days...and I still managed to leave my house - Part 2

If you haven't watched it yet DO NOT READ ON.  This (and the previous post) will SPOIL the entire 13 Episodes for you.  DO NOT DO IT and if you do that's on you.  SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay so here is the fun part...the part where I post my random thoughts as I watched the show.  I put them in "Notes" as I watched.    I find them hilarious...so I am sharing them.  I think this is 100% better than a "review" hahaha.  I could only make it better with gifs.  As you can see my "thoughts" get longer as the series progresses.


Ep 1
Hmmm, Jess seems really tall (looks up on google) good god she's an Amazon!!! (5'9")

Ep 8

Awkward dinner is an understatement sir

I'll never be able to hear the name Jessica again without wanting to say it that way...and then immediately vomiting
Nosy Neighbors are the worst
"I'll wear one to your funeral" hahhaha  Yea I don't see Jess in a dress. 
Okay that was semi nice...he took care of the neighbor in a normal-ish fashion to protect Jess. 
And then the rape talk...*beating head on table* uncomfortable.
He says she wanted it...but how is there consent with mind control?!!?!?
So he had a shitty childhood...so did a lot of people but that doesn't justify their harmful actions towards others.
"You're not 10 anymore"...is that a...is that a Who reference????
She's trying to make him do good...hahaha
Dynamic duo...you did ONE good deed!  He's crazy!
OMG let them blink! Wait, I feel like there is a joke in there...he was 10...and 10 was in "Blink"...blink and you're dead...hahahaha I'm funny.

Ep 10
"Eat the bullet Trish"....good idea Jess...save your sister from another mister
Wait...wait...WAIT.  His power is a....virus?!?!? So his power is basically an STD since he essentially mind f**ks you.

You want what I have? Hope...the person
Jess is brutal man...she knows how to "cut deep"
He's helped her get Hope released...this is some warped way of showing affection...
You go back to your life of mediocrity and underachievement *jerk*
Hogarth is throwing her girlfriend/mistress under the bus...what a b**ch!
18 seconds...rooftop....what is he going on about?!?!
Wait...they have different memories of what happened...
He remembers not controlling her and her kissing him...willingly.
She remembers saying she'll just be a mo and starts to jump off the roof but he stops her with another command...DELUSIONAL!
To listen to someone else
He tried to make her cutoff her ears....creeeeepy
She punched the $hit out of him....AGAIN!  I mean he's already a nut...brain damage probably wont help...
OMG girl twin is so f**king dumb!!!! I hate her so much!
Ahhhhh people are so f**king stupid!!!!!
Simpson is a pigheaded idiot...I don't like him anymore!
It's a f**king perfume...the "cure" is a perfume?!? - ahhhahahaha
"Say your Sorry"...OMG he makes me so uncomfortable
Wait it didn't work or is it an act....nope didn't work...damn

Ep 12
"We were lovers..." Ahahhhhha Well I guess that's better than telling Kilgrave "We f**ked like rabbits"

"Did you bugger my chances with her?" nice....it's not always about you @$$hole!
Seriously the level of obsession is ...scary....wow
Ahhh clubbing with the pops to test his powers
Trish's mom is psycho...bad bad bad mom

Something is wrong with me....Crazy shouldn't be attractive....I can't help it...I keep seeing a handsome man....ahhhh, I'd never survive around Kilgrave...I am the stupid girl...great.

Okay he is seriously owning the psychopath...I could actually believe he IS that insane....
Hahhaha can't control her yet, well $hit
Oh no...no no no no he was under his control the whole time!!!! Dammit Luke!
The way Kilgrave says Jessica is so creepy...I feel like I need 10 showers, to stab my ear out with a q-tip and a bottle of Memory Eraser
Wait all the sexual tension was Kilgrave...but Luke & Jess did the thing...the really hot thing....they like bonded...and it was...oh ewwww...that is NOT right!  Is that supposed to make her run to you...?

Ep 13
"Pain is a surprise" well you aren't wrong...it surprises the hell outta me when I stub my toe
So I get why she brought him to the hospital but not a good idea
Yay Claire!!!! Love her. 
Awww Jess...you had to...he was gonna kill you!!! Staaaahhhp
How did he find her?!?!????  Does he have a tracker up her @$$?!?
Do not call her selfish...she isn't selfish!
"I certainly regret meeting you" (yea well you f**ked up buddy) but that's a lie right....if he regretted it he wouldn't keep taunting her, he'd go away!
He called her an anal crumpet....is that a weird sex thing?  or an interesting insult... ewwww
So he doesn't think he's evil...warped
Oh my god he made her a patient zero...playing on the whole zombie apocalypse thing a bit....
He can control the whole hospital????
Needle in the eye?!?!? Wtf?!??
Well at least it worked....Luke lives right?
"Take off your pants"...oh Claire
"I usually like a little more romancing"...oh Jess

He is the poster child for psycho controlling ex boyfriend
Awww she's cuddling with unconscious Luke....
Ahhhhh she wanted to do the normal life with Luke...a future....I'm not crying you're crying!
That just seems painful Kilgrave....why would you do that to yourself?!?!? Oh right to "win" back Jess by forcing her to "love" you...right.
Can Claire and Jess become friends?!?!?
Well hello Trish...
Wait till I call for backup...Jess...trying to keep her safe...again
Something I never say "I love you" just break my heart a little more Jess
Where are his arms?!?!? Jfc!!!
Oh for fucks sake he's still alive...and arm-less!
"Oh I'm no ones side kick"...hahaha Claire

She's been arrested for murdering Kilgrave, oh for f**ks sake!

Hogarth is ruthless...at least it's for Jess this time
Oh wow...well I guess she'll be busy now...
"Alias investigations how can we help."  Awww I love Malcolm...he'd be a good "side kick"
I need a Season Two

I watched 13 Episodes in 3 days...and I still managed to leave my house - Part 1

So I did the thing where I watched Netflix on and off  from Friday evening to Sunday. Yet I still managed to do a 5k, watch LSU (I really shouldn't have, it was AWFUL!), clean my house, watch Doctor Who (I really shouldn't have, I cried my eyes out...see here), and pick up the hubs from the Airport.  Along with regular things like feeding the animals...and myself. 

I watched all of Jessica Jones.  Don't get mad at me if I don't know what was happening.  I didn't read the comics and only knew a little about the story.  To say I was impressed is an understatement.  I was hooked from Episode 1.  The cast is phenomenal.  I don't know how you could watch it and not like it.  Wait I do know...if you are one of those people who is mad at Mr. Tennant for taking on this CRAZY roll, you may not like it...and you are stupid (sorry, not sorry).  Or if you are easily triggered.  There is quite a bit of violence, many mentions/allusions to rape, stalkers, excessive drinking, drugs, oh and uh...crazy wild superhero (and non superhero) sex.

If you haven't watched it yet DO NOT READ ON.  This (and the next post) will SPOIL the entire 13 Episodes for you.  DO NOT DO IT and if you do that's on you.  SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!



From the get go you can't help but like Jessica.  And that's funny because she is 100% unlikable.  At least that is what she wants people to think.  She has regrets and guilt but we don't really know why.  We don't really understand why she is doing what she does...why she is having these weirdo flash backs...why she drinks herself into oblivion.  She keeps everyone at a distance and is an @$$hole to anyone who tries to care.  She is tom-boyish but shes pretty.  She is also insanely strong for her small frame, heals fairly quickly and can jump (fly)A+ acting my dear.  You see the hard@$$ meant for everyone along with the caring person hiding just below the surface.  She lost her entire family in an accident but still manages to live.  She isn't a "piece of $hit" just makes emotional decisions and is scared of hurting people she cares about.  When the realization hits you of what Kilgrave did to her you want to give her a hug but can't...because you know "fictional".  

Kilgrave is a f**king psychopath.  Oh my GOD!  I have never in my life been more creeped out by a fictional character.  He is the one that created most of my "Ahhhh omg!" moments.  He controls minds.  This goes beyond the power of suggestion.  He can get anyone to do what he wants.  ANYTHING he wants.  This includes injuring yourself, injuring someone else, having sexual relations...with him (whaaaaaaaa?!?).  I just, the list is extensive and disturbing.  He is obsessed with Jessica.  I guess its the whole want what you can't have thing but taken to a level of crazy I never thought possible.  The problem is he is attractive but at the same time sinister.  You can see it...there is a look.  Like you look at him and think something just ain't right there.  He uses people until he has no use of them...then he basically tells them to off themselves OR kill others so they have to live with it.  I get that he had a messed up childhood and was never really taught how to not be a f**knut.  So you almost (I said almost don't crucify me) feel bad for him.  But how can you teach a child to behave when they can CONTROL you?!?!?  He is naturally manipulative (not to mention delusional).  So even when he can't control you with his power, he's good at talking...at making you feel sorry for him.  Hell I felt sorry for him and I KNEW what was happening.  A+ acting my friend...I feel like I need a shower, thanks. 

Luke is a good hearted genuine guy.  We don't get why Jess is doing her PI thing with him at first  because he clearly isn't a case.  He is a lover but is a fighter when the need arises.  He is sexy.  Good lord that man is built nicely.  Oh and he is almost indestructible.  His skin is like steel.  Him and Jess, clearly have feelings for one another but she pushes him away.  And he gets pissed when he finds out her secret...I mean she did kill his WIFE.  Well it was Kilgrave but damn son.  They still have a bit of fun before all this comes out and *whew* is it hot in here? No just me, okay.  When Kilgrave gets to him I freaked out!  How much of what was said wasn't Luke?!?!?  Wait they...they did the thing...and it was hot...was that...no....OMG!

Trish is the BFF.  She is like a sis (legally she is a sis) to Jess.  She is famous and seems to really care but Jess pushes her away to protect her.  You want to slap Jess repeatedly for this.  Trish is clearly damaged because of her mother which makes her cautious but she wants to help.  She falls for Simpson (see below).  They have some hot fun too but I never fully trusted him.  Something was ALWAYS off.

Simpson is a nutter.  He is a decent cop who is sent to kill Trish, under the influence of Kilgrave.  He seems to lose his mind after this.  He becomes OBSESSED with killing Kilgrave.  So obsessed that he f**ks it all up.  He murders another detective, destroys all of the evidence against Kilgrave.  He hurts Trish repeatedly and he is trying to kill Jess because he blames her.  Oh and he's taking these enhancement pills that make him into a soulless killing machine.  I mean nice guy, right?

Hogarth is your stereotypical slimy lawyer.   She is ruthless in the courtroom but also in real life.  She plays at being Jessica's ally but she has ulterior motives.  She is a cheater and a manipulator.  She is only out for herself which causes her to do extremely stupid things...like trust KILGRAVE!

Of course there are other characters but these are the main ones.  The ones you either love or hate. Or want to punch repeatedly.  

So in conclusion watch the flipping show!  They did a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life.  And while that may sound like a good thing (it is mostly)...some of it is down right disturbing.  There are not many shows...actors...villains...that can make me shudder well after the episode...season ends.  Seriously, thinking about that final scene with Kilgrave making out with Trish still gives me the heebie  jeebies and its been a few days.  But I've grown to like Jess, Luke, Malcolm & Trish.  I want more.  I need a second season.  Can't wait to see where they go with this. 

Side Note - I will never be able to read the name Jessica again without hearing it the way Mr. Creepy says it....*shudder*

I thought I was ready but I wasn't...I don't want to Face the Raven

This is a review/recap of Saturday's Doctor Who episode (Season 9, Episode 10).  It will contain SPOILERS so don't read further if you haven't watched Face the Raven yet.  I'm not kidding.  Don't get mad at mean because you didn't listen.

This season has been a "nail biter" as far as when & how is our lovable little Clara going to leave.  So every episode you are like "OMG is this it?  This is it!" and the Doc swoops in and saves the day, as usual.  This episode was no different.  What we are starting to see this season is someone CLEARLY wants to hurt The Doctor but who and why. 

We have The Doctor and Clara running off to save an old friend, Rigsy.  I don't really remember Rigsy but apparently he was "significant" in a previous episode.  He has, of all things, a new tattoo that is counting down to zero.  He has been memory wiped and is terrified for his family.

The adorable part...the Doctor with the "new human".  He seems to just melt around Rigsy's little girl.  It's kind of adorable in a Twelve kind of way.  So after some T.A.R.D.I.S testing and guessing they figure out that Rigsy stumbled into a "Trap Street" (pardon me...a what?!?).  Doc thinks its a "hidden" street.  Something in plain sight that we can't see because technology is telling our brains its not there.  We have the T.A.R.D.I.S flying over London with Clara dangling out of it like a nut looking for the street.  She is 100% an adrenaline junkie and I think it's starting (continuing) to frighten The Doctor.  She is more jeopardy friendly than ever and she is getting reckless.

So they find the street and we are immediately thrown into a darker version Diagon Alley.  It was quite creepy, especially once you realize everyone you see is camouflaged by a kind of perception filter.  They look human but they aren't.  Somehow Rigsy has committed murder but he doesn't remember why or how.  Ashildr (or Me) shows up as the leader....Mayor...whatever of this ragtag bunch.  She says Rigsy did it and is sentenced to death by Quantum Shade (WTF?!?).

There is some sleuthing and we see another member of this "society" freaking out.  He has stolen from the commune and shall "Face the Raven".  The clock strikes zero as his wife BEGS him to give it to her but he refuses.  The creepy caged Raven turns to smoke and dives into the "man", killing him.  The Raven comes out of his mouth as black smoke and I suddenly had flashbacks to Supernatural (its a Demon, right!??! Oh wait wrong show).  This gives Clara (who is under Ashildr's protection) the STUPID idea of taking the sentence from Rigsy because Ashildr wont kill her (see RECKLESS!) and it will give them more time to find out what really happened.

Stuff happens and then we find out Ashildr tricked them and just needed the Doc to show up so she could turn him over to someone else.  The lady wasn't murdered, Rigsy is innocent, so she goes to remove the tattoo...the problem is, it is on Clara now...Ashildr can't remove it.  Transferring the tattoo cancels the contract and Ashildr is removed as the authority.  Clara will die.

I was in denial.  I kept saying "this isn't it.  no.  this isn't how she dies.  WTF Doctor Who!?!?" Then it happens.  Clara gives the speech...The Doctor tears up...and I am now a sobbing mess on my couch.  “Don’t run. Stay with me.” That line right there broke me into a million pieces.  I might not have loved Clara last season with the Danny Pink BS but I loved her before and after.  She knows him so well and he knows her.  He's angry, she knows he will rip the universe apart to save her or destroy it to avenge her.  He can't lose his impossible girl.  So she helps him along...this is what sealed the deal for me.  This had me crying well after the credits rolled:

Clara: You. Now you listen to me. You're going to be alone now, and you're very bad at that. You're going to be furious and you're going to be sad, but listen to me. Don't let this change you. No, listen. Whatever happens next... wherever she is sending you, I know what you're capable of. You don't need to be a warrior. Promise me. Be a Doctor.
The Doctor: What's the point of being a Doctor if I can't cure you?
Clara: Heal yourself. You have to. You can't let this turn you into a monster. So... I'm not asking you for a promise. I'm giving you an order. You will not insult my memory. There will be no revenge. I will die, and no-one else, here or anywhere, will suffer.
The Doctor: What about me?
Clara: If there was something I could do about that, I would. I guess we're both just going to have to be brave.

(I'm fine I just have something in my eye, like a twig or a tree branch)

Then she runs into the street and the raven slams into her.  She dies.  She f**king dies!  And now the Doc will be transported to who knows where because Ashidr or Me or whatever her name has betrayed him to save her "people".

We flash to Rigsy (I remember him now, he was from Flatline...the graffiti dude) and he has decorated the now abandoned T.A.R.D.I.S. with a memorial to Clara.  And now I am sobbing again. 

Honestly the entire episode was just okay.  I mean it wasn't as bad as last week...murderous sleep boogers...really?!?!?!  But I wasn't overly involved in the story like I have been in the past.  It was an interesting murder mystery but it fell a little flat.  The redeeming feature of it was Clara's death which I hate that that is what "saved" this  episode.  Had she not had such an amazing, and by amazing I mean heart wrenching, send off I would have been almost bored and really annoyed with Me.  Actually I am really annoyed with Me....WTF you old bat!?!? Or maybe I realized this would be it for Clara so I didn't want to like it.

Who doesn't want luscious locks and stronger nails?!?

Well then you should consider Nature's Bounty® Optimal Solutions® Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies.  I wasn't a believer before I tried them but they do work.  They will NOT make your hair and nails grow faster.  That is NOT what they do.  What they do is make your hair and nails grow stronger and healthier.  Oh and supposedly make your skin brighter but I haven't noticed that.  

I've been using them for a few weeks and can see a difference.  My nails are noticeably stronger than before.  I find that they aren't breaking as easily and look healthier...whiter.  My hair is shinier and just all around looks nicer.  I have fine limp hair but I find although its still fine and limp it looks healthier.  It takes just a second to eat the gummies and I think it is worth it.  They seem to work and they taste great, win-win.

Everything should be comfortbale, especially something like a tampon

I received these for free to try from Smiley 360.  I'll be honest at first I was not excited to try these.  I've always used tampons with applicators so this is something new to me. 

I will say I wasn't that comfortable putting them in while on my cycle, it seemed like it would be "messy".  But it wasn't.  It was easy actually.  And more comfortable to insert versus the plastic or cardboard applicators, so that is a plus.  I don't have a heavy flow but I was concerned about the absorbancy.  But they worked just fine.  I barely noticed it was there.  They worked just as well if not better as my regular tampons but with less waste.  Also, because they are so small without the applicators they are much easier to travel with.  I just put a few in my handy dandy carrying case and no one is the wiser as to what they are. 

Honestly, I liked them more than what I've been using.  I think everyone should try them...well every female who is having monthly cycles. 

Check them out.

Goodness knows, Goodnessknows snack squares are quite tasty

I received these for free to try from Smiley 360.  I think my favorite part about them is their design.  Each bar is broken into four little squares.  It makes it easier to just have bit if you aren't that hungry and to share.  They are available to purchase at CVS, Walgreens, or Rite Aid.

I received three flavors to try.  I am not a huge chocolate fan  especially in snack bars but the chocolate in these was complimentary to the other flavors so it was okay. 

• Cranberry, almond, dark chocolate - This one was by far my favorite.  The cranberry and almond paired perfectly with the dark chocolate. 

• Peach & cherry, almond, dark chocolate - This one was okay.  Something about the peach tasted weird to me so it wasn't my favorite.  To me the flavors didn't really go well together so I would not get this one again.

• Apple, almond & peanut, dark chocolate - This one I did enjoy, not as much as the first but more than the second.  I did enjoy it more because of the peanut butter.  I am more of an only peanut butter fan, versus a peanut butter and chocolate.
 
I would definitely get at least the cranberry ones again.  They make a great on the go snack before some of my runs.  I find them filling and enjoyable to eat. 

Check them out!

How did I miss this? How did my little geeky syfy loving heart not know this!?!?!?

I hate networks, I hate hate hate them!  Netflix save us.  Okay I might be being a bit dramatic but I somehow missed the cancellation notice for a few shows that I love!

1. Dominion - OMG are you kidding me!!?!?  It ended on an effing cliff hanger!  It ended eluding to Lucifer being the next big baddie.  How bad where the ratings?!?!  They couldn't have been that terrible!  Could they have been?  I don't think you understand Syfy, I want to know what happens!  I need more Chris Egan and Tom Wisdom and ya know what I need them all back on my screen!  Here's hoping Netflix does something.  I mean I had high hopes for Constantine but alas that didn't f**king happen.  (yes, I know this was NBC but I am still pissed).  I had no idea this was canceled.  I missed the announcement.  I only found out because I went to vote for something else as a Netflix series reboot and saw this one....soooooo sorry Forever I love you and all but this got my vote.  Ahhhhh, don't take this one too, dammit!

2.  Helix - Okay, yes last season wasn't the "best" but we are left with questions at the end of Season two.  I mean I am not as angry about this one as I am about #1 but I did enjoy this show and the characters.  And I kind of want to know more.   But I guess I can see they may be running out of stories.  I mean how far can you stretch this immortal blood virus strain thing. 

3. Defiance - I knew that season finale felt...well final.  Not sure if the writers had an inkling or not but at least we got some sort of closure.  I will still miss this show though.  I haven't been this excited about a Syfy original series since Eureka.  Defiance was a fantastical glance at a future where we are "invaded".  Where as a species we have to learn how to adapt if we want to survive.  It was different but relatable.  The characters were so complex and well written.  I can't tell you how many times this show not just tugged but RIPPED my heart out...yet I still wanted more.  I hate that we will never find out what happens to Nolan, Irisa, the Tarr's, etc.  I mean we get an idea of what might happen in their futures in the finale but I really wanted so much more.  Although I will miss this show, at least it got a better send off than some others...*cough* Forever *ahem*. Yes I know that was ABC but I am still angry about it. 

Fox don't let me down!  Don't you dare cancel Bones or Sleepy Hollow...please... or did I miss that announcement too???

Side note - How the f**k did all these great shows get canceled yet we still get Salem.  I mean I'm not complaining.  I like the show but I thought for sure it was getting axed.

The Leftovers still keeps me coming back each week

Okay, like I've said before, I wont recap every episode and review it.  But last weeks (10/25/2015) episode really grabbed me.  I'm a week late watching it because the mother of all storms came through last week and wouldn't allow me to watch it without power surges and emergency update interruptions from my parish.  Being Halloween week, the week got away from me and now its 11/1 and I FINALLY finished watching it.

The episode itself was interesting.  Kevin goes back to where the girls disappeared and crazy dad finds him there.  But instead of freaking out he just cons him into going with him for a drive.  A drive where we end up at the "friends" temp home...you know the friend that cray cray dad burned his house down.  Well dad gets shot and Kevin is like f**k!  Kevin takes care of him, calling cray cray's wife (Doctor) and getting him help.  Once cray cray is all good he leaves, only to be attacked relentlessly by the hallucination of Patti.  He finally loses it and talks to her (thank God it is the middle of the night).  After finding out he did in fact try to kill himself, that he supposedly doesn't love his family...its just a band-aid because of all the BS that happened before, AND that those girls DID depart (well $hit!).   After the hallucination is satisfied she f**ked Kevin up enough, she walks away.  Then crazy guy in the tower says "whose your friend?".  What?!!?!?  He can see her too!?!?!?  Who is this guy?  Why is he in the tower?  Why does the town seem okay with that?  He is clearly significant!  Kevin finally makes his way back to a still freaked out Nora who isn't mad that he left...just that she woke up alone and thought he departed.  So what does she do...she handcuffs them together to sleep. Weird but a meaningful sentiment.  I don't care what not real Patti said...I think they do love each other!

Jill is going to get bored eventually.  She clearly loves her adoptive sister but a 17 year old needs more than babysitting and hanging out with the crazy adults all the time.  I do like that she seems really close with Nora.  I'm glad they didn't go the resentful "step daughter" route.  She seems to want to befriend boy twin from next door.  And honestly he seems to connect with her too.  I don't care if it isn't romantic, I like their chemistry.  I think they would be great friends at the very least. Poor boy twin is REALLY distraught about his missing sister.  He KNOWS they departed but no one wants to hear that but Jill doesn't seem to mind.  See they have a connection. 

That was basically the gist of the show.  What REALLY got me though was the final piece of music.  As Kevin is undressing and Nora is sadly watching him you hear "I've got chills they're multiplying....".  Holy $hit, I know that song!  I know it so well!  It's "You're the ones that I want"  from Grease.  But it isn't the version I know.  It is dark and haunting.  It is PERFECT.  The same lyrics sung a different way.  It gave me chills and fit absolutely perfectly with the ending of this episode.  Hear the whole song below.  I love it!
