Season Finale Update: Switched at Birth


Switched at Birth has come to and end and I'm actually extremely sad about it. The series finale was the perfect mixture of flashback reminiscing and talk of the future. I really liked how the episode only felt like it was the end at the end of the hour. Also, they gave us open ended storylines that gave us the feeling that these characters are living on after the finale. That last shot of Bay and Daphne lying in the grass turned me into a blubbering mess!

This season was just like any other season. They focused on a topic and did a great job portraying it. This year it was on racism on the college campus and I think they handled it well. The episode that focused on 3 main Black students was the best out of the season. I do wish they dove more into Emmett's depression.
I loved this show for so many different reasons. It reeled me in with it's unique plot line. What kept me around were the storylines tackling serious issues we face in our daily lives. It was also the only show that portrayed Deaf Culture. So, it makes me really sad knowing that there won't be anything like this on television anymore. I can only wish that there will be something to take it's place soon. It's been fun!

Season Finale Update: The Walking Dead


What an interesting season. Let's start with the finale.
Finally war has begun and what a way for it to begin! It was only a matter of time before Negan took a hit and what a way for it to happen! I mean, the most epic thing was seeing Shiva attack and King Ezekiel in all his glory giving his battle cry! That was my favorite part. Now on to Sasha. I really, REALLY didn't want her to die. But, when she asked to be put in the casket and wanted a bottle of water, I knew she was going to take that pill. I am glad she went out the way she did though. She's a fighter and was that until her final (living) breath. If it wasn't for her they might not have been able to put a dent in Negan's army.

This season went the way I thought it would, but I was shocked by a few things. One, I wasn't expecting Oceanside to decline Rick's offer to fight. I thought that a least a few people would join him. Two, the trash community. Their whole existence shocked me. I mean, why did the group trust them and why were they so strange and where did they even come from? Three, Eugene's betrayal (and him still being alive). I guess his betrayal was character growth because he didn't just crumble when Negan captured him, but he still angers me!

A few thoughts for next season. This war is going to be intense and I can't wait! We were deprived a lot of action this season (the premiere was enough), but I've healed and I'm ready for this war. For some reason I still have a little bit of hope for Dwight. I don't know why and I don't know what but something in me things he's going to turn on Negan for real. As for Eugene, he'll either die by the hands of Lucille or actually make a plan to take Negan down from the inside.
Well, until October.
RIP Sasha.

Season Finale Update: Grimm


I guess I should be calling this the series finale update because Grimm has come to an end (tears). I'll talk about that 2 part finale first.
I thought it was amazing! My favorite part was when Nick's mom, Kelly, and Aunt Marie came back to help and all the Grimms were fighting the devil. Also, we finally found out how Trubel is related to Nick, which, interestingly enough, I was just wondering days before I watched.
Now I know some people were upset that the end basically retconned itself but I liked it.  One, I had a feeling that the portal was some a time portal type of thing, so I was excited when Nick came out of it back at the point in time. Two, I wouldn't of liked it if Nick just got the power of the stick and brought all his friends back to life. Nick had to come terms with the fact that he had to sacrifice the ones he loved for the greater good. Also, I would've wondered if Nick was just taking the place of the devil if it just ended after the battle. Plus, it's the series finale. For me to be satisfied with it, it had to have a happy ending that still left a part of the story open ended. That's what happened so I'm happy. Well, the only thing I didn't like was that we weren't able to see the triplets. I mean, how would it have been if it ended with Kelly, Diana, and the triplets (preferably woging) going out to fight?! It would've been awesome!!

This season didn't disappoint. I was intense and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I likes how all the storylines culminated. I'm sad to the show go. But I'm happy that it's ending was a positive one. It's been fun!
