I was already quite sleepy last night so I have to get caught up on the season finale of my precious The Strain… I’ve seen bits and pieces of the episode though…
…and it was a bit disappointing to see that E’s wife Kelly was NOT flying. I know this sounds off the wall, but I was waking up and probably still half sleep when I saw the scene the first time… at first it looked like she was kinda floating outside the window or something, but nope–she was indeed standing, perhaps on a patio or whatever. Heh, now the kid is traumatized—his hopes of seeing Mom again are forever ruined. Really, I’d probably be excited to see one of my parents that way if it were like how vamps are in other shows and movies (because I’d then want them to turn me so I can get the cool powers+immortality too)…but in The Strain, vampirism isn’t automatically something that’s awesome, unless you are chosen by Master himself to be one of the elites. Basically, she’s just a re-animated corpse that feeds on people, and is used like a puppet of The Master vampire…they don’t even appear to be truly in control of their own actions…like the Master can occasionally assume control of them all whenever it is necessary. I’d rather still have my free will intact along with the cool powers and immortality.
Speaking of the vampire stuff I love so much–THE ORIGINALS– premiere is 22 minutes from now, and Vampire Diaries of course premiered last week… on TVD, the vamps are still locked out of Mystic Falls due to that spell that still lingers from what the Travellers were doing…also, Tyler has apparently reverted to being just a regular ol’ pre-curse activation werewolf… I forgot about that. This is one of the results from the aforementioned Traveler magic that canceled out all other magic in the town. Sidenote— I’m glad the Travelers are gone…those characters were terribly lame and boring.
damnnnn so I just noticed—Originals will be up against Gotham! Terrible… Well, Originals takes priority for me, and I’ll have to get caught up on Gotham online later.
Unfortunately there is hardly any hotness on The Strain if that’s the show you are asking about-- there’s Mia Maestro as “Nora”, who the main character “Eph” has hooked up with. Mia is gorgeous. “Kelly”, his ex-wife is cute/hot as well.
You may already be aware though of what to expect out of The CW network. The girls on Originals and The Vampire Diaries are goddamn RIDICULOUS. Danielle Campbell is being shown right this very moment in Originals… and that girl is an absolute 10 out of 10 for me…completely absurd hotness. The line-up of sexpots on both those shows and CW shows in general is STRONG…the other networks can’t really hang with all that. Just off the top of my head— Originals has Danielle’s character, then there’s Rebecca Holt (“Claire Mikaelson”, part of the “original” vampire family, hence the name of the show), Cam (hot blonde regular human girl…Cam’s ass is surprisingly good; she has “black girl in a rap video”-caliber ass!), the girls playing the young witches, oh yeah it’s good. Vampire Diaries is giving us The Bulgarian Beauty herself, Nina Dobrev, in addition to Kat Graham and Candice Accola, and now the blonde girl that was previously on the first season of Hemlock Grove!
*whoah— CW Legendary hotness Shelley Hennig (formerly “Diana” from The Secret Circle–she’s currently a were-coyote on MTV’s Teen Wolf) is in that new movie Ouija.
haha, Marcel is recruiting for new vamps right now— man if only this shit were real… I’d be down for the cause immediately, no hesitation. Vampirisim as presented in Originals/TVD is so incredibly badass…really not much downside at all, especially in New Orleans in Originals, since the vamps basically run that whole city.
*whoahhhhhh AWESOME moment with Elijah just now-- Guerra Wolves thought they were safe… I won’t spoil the details but that was another legendary Elijah scene…holy shit I need to sit down for a moment after that one… the hype train just went off the rails, folks.
I started watching Hannibal recently. Didn’t have my expectations too high because it’s on NBC, but it’s actually surprisingly good. I like that Mads Mikkelsen doesn’t try to do his best Anthony Hopkins impression - he actually does his own thing. Some things irritate me about the show, but it’s not bad. They actually manage to fit in quite a lot of content in a relatively short amount of time. Also, they show more gore than I thought they would. If you enjoy the story of Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs/Red Dragon) then you’ll probably like it.
THE STRAIN–It’s funny that “Brenda from 227” got the hell out of dodge several episodes ago and hasn’t been seen since.
*I was too tired last night and fell asleep before finishing the episode AGAIN so I am finishing it now…
SPOILER**—eh, I suppose spoiler tags are still in order, though it’s a few days old at this point…
yep

I’d agree with what most are probably saying though, regarding the final moments involving The Master. The crew had all the time in the world to FINISH HIM! …and yet these losers managed to let him escape. I know they were in shock that the sun did NOT finish him off, since that’s kind of the way things are supposed to go involving vampires… but they STILL should’ve tried to cut his head off or something while he burned in the sunlight…sunlight was basically doing enough damage to daze him a bit, which would’ve been a prime opportunity to stab him with a silver sword or cut the head off, to make damn sure he’s dead.
It will be interesting to see what happens with the S.W.A.T. Vamps™ crew. Apparently that is something that was NOT in the books…?
Tonight, precisely 1 hour and 15 minutes from now --> THE FLASH, folks. Hell fuckin YEAH.
Watched the first two eps of Star Wars Rebels. It has potential. Won’t have the terrible slow start that Clone Wars did plus it doesn’t have the absolute feeling of inevitability that Clone Wars had.
Though for most of the ep the name could’ve been called Aladdin: Star Wars Edition.
whoah I forgot about that smokin’ HOT ass broad in The Flash…heh, and Barry is super-FriendZoned there.
…annd full body shot–yep she’s good to go. “Iris” is the character’s name.
oohhhhhh "we’re kinda like brother and sister" — TERRIBLE. That’s something no dude wants to ever, ever hear from any girl he’s attracted to. That right there is one of those phrases where you just put the controller down, because you’ve definitely lost the game.
THE STRAIN season finale after show—featuring the Master himself Robert Maillet! From the pictures I knew that guy looked familiar… that dude was a character from late 90s-era WWE.
*sadly, the wonderful Stephanie Gray doesn’t have her glasses on in this or the previous after-show episode…that is most unfortunate :\
Well catching up on Gotham the other day…can we just rename it to Penguin? Because he’s the only REALLY good thing about the series so far. Sure, the rest is…serviceable, but Cobblepot’s rise to power is actually enjoyable to watch.
I’m only giving it a mild pass right now just because A) Cobblepot’s ascent is actually interesting to watch regardless and B ) they’re going through the exact same growing pains as Arrow did. The first have of Season 1 of Arrow was awful. It took a good amount of time to find its identity to become what it is now, and thankfully for the Flash that got carried over.
Gotham doesn’t get that carryover, just as Agents of SHIELD didn’t. So we’re looking at a good amount of early episodes with heavy handed messages and foreshadowing a toddler would think is blatant. I’m just hoping that like SHIELD and Arrow, they calm it down over time and start to find that groove. It’s tough though because they don’t have an established character to fall back on like SHIELD did with Coulson and they don’t have the inherent job security that Arrow does being a CW show. So exposition will be even louder and remain way too fast due to potential fear of simply being canceled. Hopefully the news that they now are approved the full order of 22 episodes will calm them down a little.
damn I really need to start proof reading my comments before hitting post
Terrible episode of Gotham, I don’t want to watch half a season for it to pick up. I’ll keep an ear out for anything interesting and just watch those episodes. There’s too much shit to watch anyway.
Did anyone watch The Apprentice UK, I was cringing so hard, how the fuck to people who make such poor decisions have employment. Great way to kick off the season, the camp black canadian is hilarious, I’m waiting for him to start snapping his fingers at people, he is a proper diva.

The lemon lady, pretty sure she wears everyone’s makeup for a start. Then starts telling the rest of the ladies what to wear, which was basically wear a short tight skirt, men will buy anything from someone who looks like a hooker. At least they came up with a good T-Shirt idea, and it was a genius move to sell them back to the t-shirt maker (considering they had no time to sell them anyway). The guys’ T-shirt was stupid “Buy This Shirt”, how the hell does that make any sense on anyone but a mannequin? They spent over an hour thinking of that genius line . And then they did even collect them, so they sold nothing! £500 flushed down the toilet.
Felipe, the guy seems to like talking in the 3rd person, it was really dumb jumping on the scape goat wagon, luckily he changed his mind after Lord Sugar’s stern warning.
HBO with no need for a particular cableTV package deal?! Yeah, I’m on board with that. This is something I think most people have wondered about and wanted for YEARS, man. For years there was always that question –Why can’t we just pay for exactly what channels we want? (as opposed to the package deals that are 90% shit you don’t care about)
Cable company suits probably just shitted themselves today. The need for a cable service is starting to become a thing of the past, and this development just put a spotlight on that issue. Why upgrade my level of service now that I can just purchase HBO specifically? It’s really getting to the point where a cable “package deal” subscription is no longer necessary. Just about all the regular networks (abc, nbc, fox, etc.) if I recall have all or most of their shows on their official websites— I’ve been using that method to get caught up on things I miss for quite some time now.
Yeah if other channels follow suit I can see the death of cable/satellite in a few years.
The only leg they have to stand on is them not having to burn your bandwidth to use which is somewhat legitimate but that’s a REALLY small leg to stand on.
holy shit ALERT— Nina Dobrev is in a goddamn 2-piece bikini on tonight’s episode of Vampire Diaries…and she’s looking COMPLETELY ridiculous in the best possible way…
now she’s in some denim cut-off shorts… ohhh this Bulgarian Beauty™ is truly somethin’ else, folks…PRIME cut.
Then Kat Graham is walking around with a super-short skirt on… the level of hot ass on this damn show, I swear… it’s so serious…
. And then they did even collect them, so they sold nothing! £500 flushed down the toilet.
