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!

What the hell Supernatural?!?!?!

Okay so I didn't watch the last two episodes of Supernatural when they aired bc The CW was messing up and the audio was all jacked.  Then I moved and its been insane.  So TODAY I decided since the new season starts tomorrow I should see what I missed. 

Did I mention I was busy?  Because I f**king somehow missed all the GD spoilers about what the F**K happened!!!!

Here I am knowing the show has been renewed for what like 2 more seasons.  Anyways...imagine my f**king screaming shock when Crowley f**king sacrifices himself to trap Lucifer in the parallel world. 

Then....f**king THEN Cas comes barging in to "kill" Lucifer and Sam & Dean go back to our reality.  Then Cas makes it out before it closes *yay* only to get f**king STABBED WITH AN ANGEL BLADE by Lucifer!!!!

Mary shows up and starts kicking Luci's @$$

She falls through the f**king portal WITH LUCIFER and the f**king portal closes!!!!!!

So Sam and Dean lost Crowley, Cas, and Mom in a matter of minutes...

Sam goes inside to check on Kelly and baby Nephilim.  And she's deceased which we knew would happen but there is no baby...

There are scorched foot prints leading out of the room. 

He follows the footprints into the "baby's room".  In a dark f**king corner is a blonde BOY and his eyes flash golden *run credits*

What the hell?!?!  What the hell?!?!  What the....

...this is why we can't have nice things Supernatural writers!

Because I'm Happy......o_O

De...Detective...Stabler.....?





LINK

Holy Crap this looks AMAZING!  I know he's done other things but I mean he will always be Elliot Stabler to me.  I watched SVU for WAAAAAY too long.  But I love love love seeing Chris Meloni in something new.  He's been a fav of mine for a while!!!

THIS

WTF?

LOOKS

JFC its a Blue Unicorn

AWESOME!!!!!

OMG!

Seriously, SYFY please give this a chance.  He's an ex- cop (what?!?) who is seeing blue unicorns (OMG!) and can't die (I think...).  I haven't seen it yet (obviously...not till December) but it looks like its going to be f**king hilarious and action packed!!!!!!!!!!  Don't kill it like you did with Dark Matter *growl*!

City of Miracles - Robert Jackson Bennett

So glad I was finally able to read this book.  It is the final installment of The Divine Cities series.  And like the rest I really did adore this book.  When this all began I thought the series would center around Shara.  While Shara plays an immense roll, I think the series actually mainly revolves around Sigrud.  He is prominent in all 3 books.  Even more so than Shara.  So it wasn't a surprise that book three really centers around him.

He has been hiding in the woods since Voortyashtan and the death of his daughter.  He can't cope with the things he has done.  Unfortunately something happens that draws him out of hiding.  He again loses someone he cares immensely for.  This loss sets in motion the greatest battle between man and god.  The Divine are hard to kill and unknown to everyone they still have a piece of this world.  But it isn't the big baddies we are used to, it is their offspring.  No worries not really a spoiler.  Sigrud has to come to terms with his past to save everyone, the world...Tatyana (Shara's daughter).

I loved this story.  I loved the action, the heartache, the depth of the characters.  We know so much but we are learning more.  Everyone we love makes an appearance along with some newbies that make this the best one yet.  I hate that this series has come to a close but it was a beautiful send off.  I laughed, I cringed, I cried...this time for real and not because it was ending but how everything ends.  It was perfect, happy and sad.  "What's good about sad? It's happy for deep people".  It is a must read for anyone that enjoys fantasy, especially if you've read the first two.

I received this book for free from Blogging for Books to read and give my honest review.

SPOILERS

Since the last book I keep wondering why Sigrud is still the strapping youngish man he has always been.  Haven't like forty years passed between book 1 and 3?  Mulaghesh has clearly aged, Shara too.  What is happening?!  He also can't seem to die.  He has had many many life threatening injuries but somehow he lives...how?  Clearly the mark on his hand has SOMETHING to do with this, right.  So right!  I just love him.  He is broken and beaten but he is a good man in the end.

So they kill Shara in the first ten pages, what?!?  Not what I was  expecting but okay.  But her daughter...where is Taty?!?  I mean the shadow of her comes back at the end but she dies AGAIN and its pretty brutal.  So brutal is changes Taty forever.

I do like how Ivanya is back.  She isn't the spoiled rich girl anymore.  She is a hardened woman.  She is Taty's guardian and has removed herself from society.  She thinks Sigrud is nuts but he grows on her.  She is tough as nails.  I liked the romance between them and was sad with how it had to end.

Taty is so innocent.  She just wants to be a normal girl.  She is in danger because the people (divinity) that killed her mother want her dead too.  Sigrud will protect her at all costs.  She is all he has left of Shara.  Taty has talents no one understands.  I knew she was a Divine Child but the revealing that her and Malwina make up the maimed child floored me.  They are time incarnate.  Taty the future and Malwina the past.  Together too powerful and a threat so the Divinities separated them into two beings.  Taty is amazing.  She matures so much but stays a child.

Nokov is freaking horrifying.  He is the night.  He is EATING the other Divine Children to become a true divinity.  He will bring about the final night because he has been wronged.  He is a brat with power and its scary.

When Sigrud with his mortal wound breaks through to Time (Taty & Malwina merged) and convinces her to stop I was so excited.  He will not let her/them forget who they are.  Taty is Ashara Komayd's daughter and she is good!  But Sigrud it dying.  He accepted his fate and the mark is fading.  He is no longer defying death.  Taty saves him in one last burst of divine energy.  She also disperses the divine spirit into the wind.  Now all people everywhere, not just on the continent have the potential to be divine.  Random strangers are showing signs of miracles, Taty created a whole new world.

Sigrud, although alive no longer has the mark.  He has aged overnight.  He is old and weak.  They make it back to the Dreyling islands to protect Taty from the world.  Its the only place she is safe.  Once he is well enough he goes with Taty to the sea to watch her play with other kids her own age.  She is frolicking and having fun.  She is being a kid.  He is happy.  He leans against the tree and I started tearing up.  When Taty came back to him I knew he was gone but I still cried.  Sigrud is finally at peace.
