Just kiss already!!!!!!!

What I seem to be screaming every new episode of Timeless.  Wyatt and Lucy are so f**king adorable and I need them to just be...something!

I love this show sooooooooo much.  I am so glad it can back for Season 2.  I have ZERO faith in NBC doing the right thing and keeping this show.  Because they are so f**king stupid when it comes to good shows, with good plots, and a good fanbase.  They are like "this show seems to be internet popular...LET'S KILL IT!"  F**king @$$holes.  


SPOILERS for Episode 3:



And OMG I am watching Season 2 Episode 3 and f**king FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am legit dying over here.  Eeeeeeeeee!

Nyxia - Scott Reintgen

What an intriguing story!  In the semi-distant future we have expanded into the cosmos.  We have found an amazing new natural resource on an alien planet that will change everything, the problem is the locals don't much like adult humans but they love and respect children.  Solution, send a bunch of poor "kids" into space to harvest this stuff for them.  The catch...oh the catch is they are taking a bunch of you into space but only a few actually get to go down to the planet.  Those that go will have their families taken care of generously, the rest get a consolation prize.

So begins a story of deception, friendship, love, and betrayal.  Emmett, the main character and story teller is a hardened poor kid who makes the list.  The big corp (Babel) is in complete control.  You will fight, ruthlessly, to earn your way to the surface.  People are hurt, people die, enemies are made, and friendships are formed.  The emotions Emmett must endure are a roller-coaster.   Who can he trust?  What is Babel hiding?  Will he ever make it home again to see that moms and pops are actually being taken care of?  The entire story is high energy and stressful.  You want to hate some and love others but who is being real?  You are just are distrustful as Emmett.  This might be a story about a bunch of teens but its relatable to any age.  Its a great read that captures you from the beginning and doesn't let go.  Just when you think you know what Babel is up to something else insane happens.  You experience the lies and deceit with Emmett and the hope as well.  I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes sci-fi/space travel. 

SPOILERS 







He was supposed to be with Kaya!  They freaking killed Kaya!  I did not see that coming.  Maybe she's alive and Babel is hiding her...wishful thinking.  I mean I like Morning and while I didn't trust her at first, I think she is genuinely interested in Emmett and a good person.  I'm glad the "love" scene wasn't done in more detail.  It always makes me a little uncomfortable when authors go into detail about 1st times or anything sexual between minors.  Yes, we all know it happens but that is not necessary so kudos to this author for glazing over that piece. 

I did not see that ending coming.  I knew Babel had one more thing up their sleeve but to pit two kids against each other TO THE DEATH is insane!  Roathy probably deserved to die but I am so proud of Emmett for taking the high road. For not killing him and actually trying to save him.  It showed immense character development. 

I adored Bilal.  He always sees the best in everyone and everything, even when the world turns against him.  He is a true friend and derserves better than what happened to him.  I hope he comes back somehow or is in one of the pods headed to the surface.

Vademeer is an enigma.  I thought he was a Babel bad guy at first but he is a mentor.  He genuinely cares about Emmett & Kaya when she was alive.  Sure he gets more money if his kids win but he actually cares.  He wasn't just in it for the money.  He mourned Kaya.  He was worried about Emmett and genuinely proud when he made the adult decision, i.e. not killing someone as revenge...even it it was warranted. 

Defoe...I want to think he's bad.  But I just don't think he is.  Something about him says he is different.   Yes he has done, is doing horrible things for Babel, but we get these glimpses of him that make me think he has some good hidden in there.  That he is not just a pawn for this huge corporation.  I could be totally wrong but I swear he cares, slightly, for Emmett and the other kids (well his, not the other team). 

I still do not trust Isadora.  She is crazy.  She is vengeful.  She should NOT be going to Eden.  But she was grandfathered in.  Babel and their games.  Will they ever end?  Can't wait for the rest of this story!

I got this book for free from Blogging for Books to give my honest review.  

What do they feed them in Sweden?!?!

So I got a Netflix "98% match" show.  I've seen some adverts for it but didn't know much about it so I started watching it. 

Very crazy bloody opening, hmmm interesting.  Then the guy who dies is brought back in a new "sleeve".  If you don't know what I'm watching, its called "Altered Carbon" and its kind of crazy!

In the way way way way future we have apparently expanded into the stars AND figured out how to be basically immortal.  K....  At the ripe age of 1 every person is implanted with a disc that can pretty much be reinstalled into new bodies (sleeves) indefinitely.  Well unless the disc is damaged. 

Anyways, the bad@$$ ripped Asian that dies in the first few minutes is resleeved into this 6' something blonde Adonis looking mother f**ker.  He is butt@$$ nekkid and has the "v".  The "V"!!!  I was like God Damn, who is this guy?!?!?!  Then he walked away and sweet baby Jes...nice @$$!

So I looked him up and apparently he was most recently Robocop in the reboot of Robocop.  Have I mentioned he is dead sexy?!?!  Joel Kinnaman, is a Swedish actor and was born in 1979.  What the hell do they feed them??? Between him and the freaking Skarsgård family we all look like a bunch of wet trash.   

Maybe not that bad but you get the idea.  Anyways, this show is fascinating! And the lead is not bad to look at.  Well he has some weird looks sometimes...kinda goofy but his body helps.

I mean that's not why I'll watch it but its definitely lagniappe.  

Side Note - I've seen more dicks flapping around in 1 hour than I can ever recall...

What's with the implants?!? So much of this show is based on IMPLANTS!

Black Mirror is f**king me up! I love it!

Every episode is more and more OH MY GOD!!!!

The first season was messed up but as I watch...I think I am going have some serious issues.

Just...just...just....Episode 4 SOBBING with happiness...then this $hitshow happened....

Season 3: Episode 5 - Men Against Fire 

Why are they called "Roaches"??!?! 

I STG if a giant f**king bug comes on my screen I'm going to ......

AHhhhhhhhh! 

Okay okay they are "people" with something in their blood making them...mutants...? 

They look a lot like those "Gangers" from Doctor Who....

Wait...what's with that green light...

dude don't point it at your face...

OMG!

wait will he be a "roach" now?!?!!??!!??!

Wait...wait.....does the implant make them see non-implants as evil???? 

What is happening?!?!? 

OMG I was right!!!!  Its the f**king implant!

Buy whyyyyyyyyyyy?

Is this like the next step in justified genocide????

This is like some extreme Hitler level $hit!

"We don't actually want to kill each other."  No $hit!!!!

It helps you see the "enemy" as the monster

"Its a lot easier to pull the trigger when they are the Boogyman" WHAT?!?!?!

Talk about cleansing the gene pool

HOLY $HIT this is terrifying!

Ummm have you ever heard of the Holocaust....?

"Protecting the bloodline"

He made him f**king blind with the push of a button!!!

That is some psychological torture....

And he caved...can't say I blame him...

So it makes him see a gorgeous welcoming house and a wife when its actually a $hithole....whoa.

I can't.  This is 1000% disturbing...I love it...I need more.  This show has me like...

Comfort is key

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 purse and go one my way. 

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. 

"Yes, yes I know they’ll get it all wrong without me." *tear*

Of course I was sad!  I absolutely adored Capaldi as The Doctor.  We all knew it was coming but it still was a tad sad. 

It wasn't a mind blowing episode but it was from...for...the heart(s).   It was good.  It was a good send off for both 1 and 12.  Yes, you read that right.  And if you haven't seen the Christmas Episode yet, I suggest watching it before reading on. 

We begin at the end...or end at the beginning...this time travel stuff is all wibbly wobbly.  It picks up right where the season finale left off. 

I did enjoy how they pulled in One to show how different he is but still the same.  After thousands of years he is a swashbuckling savior of the universe.  Something I don't think the 1st Doctor ever thought he would be.  Back then he was just a traveler.  A traveler who observed, taught, and learned along the way.  Sometimes he helped but nothing like we know the Doctor to be. 

I just loved how short he was with 12.  He has no time for your nonsense.  Bradley did a great job of resurrecting the 1st Doctor...the one who started it all.  He definitely did him an honor. 

Things I Loved:

- Bradley as the 1st Doctor
- Gatiss is in it
- 12 being 12
- We got Bill back!
- 12 and 1 bickering
- Bill keeping 12 in line
- Traveling in the old T.A.R.D.I.S.
- A big baddie who isn't a baddie at all
- Lessons learned - Doctor we need you
- The original scenes from Classic Who with the 1st Doctor

Things I didn't like (at first):

- Bill isn't really Bill
- Why is there a random Captain (Gatiss), what is his point?
- Peter is leaving (duh!)
- Nothing overly crazy is happening
- What is with the glass people?!?!?

Things that made me cry:

- "We can be anyone you want" HOLY $HIT ITS CLARA! *yep now I'm crying*
- "Check in on my family" - "Of course, what's the name?" - Captain Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart *WHAT??!!?!?!* 
- Them landing on the day of the WWI Christmas Armistice.  
- Bill saying "its like you are looking right through me...just see me" or whatever she says
- Capaldi's final "speech" just all of it.
- The first Doctor realizing he doesn't just go on living. He becomes a legend, a hero, a friend.  He is The Doctor of War but not because he is violent, because he stops the violence.

The last 10 f**king minutes I was crying.  Not sobbing, just eyes leaking because it was so moving, at least for me.  

This...just this entire moment did it for me (and of course seeing Jodie at the end)

"Oh, there it is. Silly old universe. The more I save it the more it needs saving. It’s a treadmill.

*T.A.R.D.I.S. noise*

Yes, yes I know they’ll get it all wrong without me.

*T.A.R.D.I.S. noise*

Well, I suppose….one more lifetime won’t kill anyone. Well, except me.

*Stirring music/T.A.R.D.I.S. noises*

You wait a moment, Doctor. Let’s get it right. I’ve got a few things to say to you. Basic stuff first.

Never be cruel, never be cowardly. And never ever eat pears! Remember – hate is always foolish…and love, is always wise.

Always try, to be nice and never fail to be kind. Oh, and….and you mustn’t tell anyone your name. No-one would understand it anyway. Except….

*gasps, falls to the floor*

Except….children. Children can hear it. Sometimes – if their hearts are in the right place, and the stars are too. Children can hear your name.

*Gasps, grunts more*

But nobody else. Nobody else. Ever.

*Pulls himself off the floor*

Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind.

*Stirring music.*

Doctor – I let you go."

*crying alone on the couch* *still smiling* 

There she is...wait she just fell out the T.A.R.D.I.S....CRAP!

(that "Speech" was pulled from RadioTimes...I can't find the page again though....)

Paradox Bound - Peter Clines

Where to begin.  I am always up for a time travel story...excuse HISTORY travel story.  And this one did disappoint.  We are following the life & adventures of Eli Teague.   As a child he sees a mysterious young woman who ran out of fuel on the side of the rode.  She was driving an old Model T, I think.  She was chased off by a man in a mask driving a sports car.  He meets her two more times at different points in his life but she doesn't look to have aged a day.  Being from a small town, this started an interest in who she was and what she was doing.  After his 3rd meeting his life is turned upside down.  It is the beginning of a wild adventure through History. 

This book brings you through various points in American History.  It has these crazy explanations about the American Dream and how we perceive things.  It was hard to put down at times.  I wasn't a huge fan of the final chapters BUT it was still a phenomenal story with amazing characters.  You really do fall in love with Eli and Harry.  They are just so real, so easy to like.  So easy to root for.  It was very creative and well written.  I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes History with a twist. 

SPOILERS


While I don't need a love story, I cannot believe that it ended with them just walking off into the sunset.  At least give me a little peck.  They clearly cared for each other more than just partners.  Especially Eli towards Harry.  The whole book is building up their relationship.  Yes, it could just be friendly but it didn't seem that way to me.  I loved the story but was annoyed with the ending...it fell flat.  Still a great book.

I do kind of hope the story continues.  I don't think it will but I would love to read more about the adventure of Eli and Harry as they skid into various points of history, trying not to muck it up along the way.

I did enjoy how historical figures, real historical figures made appearances.  As soon as James was introduced, I knew who he was.  The description and the explanation that he was a race car driver turned actor...hello JAMES DEAN!  John driving a train was creative.  All of it was creative. 

The faceless men were terrifying.  They are soulless creatures created from what once was man.  The stuff of nightmares.  I also like that the American dream is a tangible thing.  Something that can be stolen.  Something that is alive and evolves with whomever has possession of it.  The idea that our country was formed and successful because of a deal made with an Egyptian God was so cool. 

So many times I wanted to scream at Eli and Harry but they always, always protected each other.  When Eli went to Harry's wedding.  I just sat there smiling the entire time.  It was so cute and heartbreaking. Then when Eli was kidnapped by his former boss, I knew Harry would save him.  Well mostly, he did almost die.  Harry gets shot by a faceless man, nooooo but Eli protected her.  I did want to scream when they let Eli leave and kept Harry.  I know they said with certainty they would meet again but I just was upset.  They are partners, this can't be happening!!!  Eli became his own man, he became rich by getting fired (I loved that part) then he went looking for her.  He went back to hourglass and he found her.  It wasn't the reunion I wanted but it was still awesome! 

If you can't tell I really did like this book!
