Winter Premieres 2017: Outsiders

This season started off with a bang! They picked up right where they left off and we learned that the police mission was a complete failure. Wade embarrassed himself up on that mountain! Serves him right! He basically led a mob up there to do God knows what! I'm glad the Farrells were able to hold them off and protect their land.
Asa got out of jail and left the mountain, again. He was trying to get as far away as he could, but the wolves!
Li'l Foster went out looking for his dad and ended up getting in brawl that landed him in jail. He can't seem to catch a break!
G'win is now brenin which only happened after much hesitation. I don't understand why though. After everything that's happened and everything she did, why was she acting like she didn't want it anymore? That wasn't the time for second guessing. She didn't second guess herself when she was poisoning Big Foster! G'win can be so frustrating sometimes.
Sally-Anne and Hasil. Oh these two are always on and off again and for the second time Sally-Anne told Hasil that she never wants to see him again. And it seems she's totally pregnant! I didn't think it would happen this soon, but it was bound to happen at some point.
In the end we find out that Big Foster is still alive. I wasn't really shocked by that. They weren't going to get rid of him that soon and that easily.
This was a great season opener. They set up a lot of interesting storylines and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Now on to my questions and predictions.
I wonder if/when Big Foster will return to the mountain and what he'll do when he finds out G'win is brenin. Will he fight for that power back or let her reign?
Li'l Foster is about to go on a really interesting, maybe traumatic, experience. Not only is he off the mountain but he's in jail. I wonder if he'll be fish out of water or fit right in? And I can't wait to see how the prisoners will react to him. Like, will they even know that he's a Ferrell or not?
Is Asa really gone or was that some mystical mountain magic?
Lastly, this Sasil storyline. I know some people are upset that it's happening but I think it could be really interesting. There are so many possibilities, but here's what I'm thinking. We know the Farrells are a loyal people. They stick by their own and when they don't, well we all saw what happened with Asa. The Farrells know about Sally-Anne and they've often questioned where Hasil's loyalties lie. It looks like Hasil has made up his mind and chose his family, but he doesn't know about Sally-Anne and we all know that it's only a matter of time until he find his way back down that mountain to see her. So, there are two decisions that need to be made. First, Sally-Anne must decide whether to tell Hasil or not. If she does, the Farrells must decide if they'll accept this or not. This will be a huge moment for them because nothing like this has ever happened before. And considering what's going on between the town and the Farrells, this baby could be the bridge between these two worlds. All these people are going to have to decide whether this will divide them or not.

What did you guys think of the season premiere? Got any predictions for the season?

Winter Premieres 2017: A Series of Unfortunate Events

I have nothing but good things to say about this show. 8 year old me is jumping for joy right now. Let me start with the casting.
They did an amazing job. Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf was great. Alfre Woodard as Aunt Josephine was perfection. The kids were amazing. I especially loved Sunny. Her facial expressions were everything! K. Todd Freeman as Mr. Poe was also great.
Splitting each book into 2 episodes was a great idea. They were able to keep a lot of the details from the books in the show this way. I just wished I had enough time to reread the books before I watched the series.
I also loved how they were able to capture the universe with the costumes, the set design, and the set locations. Everything was fantastic. They really captured how gloomy and depressing this series is, even with the theme song (which was so good)!

I really hope that this show gets renewed for another season and that it gets nominated for awards because I thing they deserve it.

Winter Premieres 2017: Emerald City

So, I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I watched the show. The cast and the snippet of the promo I saw intrigued me. My final verdict: this show is interesting. I'm not completely hooked on it yet. I enjoyed the first 2 hour episode for the most part. The only part that upset me was when the Witch of the East died. Now, yes, I have seen The Wizard of Oz and know the story and that she dies. But I didn't realize that Florence Kasumba was playing her. So, I was bummed out that she was only around for the first episode. (I did hear that we may be seeing her again so there's hope.) The thing that shocked me was when Tip turned into a girl. That's what had me wanting to watch the next week. So with that being said, I think the pilot episodes were good.
The next episode fell a little flat for me. I think it's because I was expecting some of my questions to be answered but they weren't. In fact, I have many more now than before, but that's the main reason why I'll keep watching.

Here is what I hope to see this season.

• I need to know who exactly was that lady that was holding Tip captive and why.
• Lucas is our scarecrow so are we going to encounter characters like the tin man and the cowardly lion?
• Who/what is this beast? And what happened when the Wizard defeated it before? Like, can we get a flashback scene or episode or something?
• I need to know more about Dorothy's mother (because she definitely knew Dorothy would end up in Oz).
• And what's the significance behind the tattoos on Dorothy's hand?

Hopefully I'll get some answers soon. What did you guys think of the first few episodes? Got any predictions on what's to come?

Winter Premieres 2017: Grimm

The final season of Grimm is here and it started off with a bang. They aren't wasting any time. The episode jumped right back in where we left off and just took off. It was a good episode that kept me on the edge of my seat wanting more. I really wished the episode was two hours because of that cliffhanger of an ending.

As for what's to come, I'm wondering when Nick will leave Portland. My first thought is that the entire season will be the team figuring out how to get him out of the state but it could happen sooner than that, if it happens at all. I have a feeling that if Nick does leave Portland it'll be on different terms then what's presented now. Like, he'll leave only because he's won the war and is starting a new journey somewhere else or going on vacation.
Juliette/Eve is proving to be a huge asset to the team and I wonder if she'll ever be Juliette again. Right now she's in this in between state and, because of that stick, seems to becoming something new entirely.
Who knows what will come of Renard? My hope is that they defeat him or he turns good and helps them defeat a bigger bad, whoever that may be. I mean, there really has to be a bigger bad out there in control of much more then they could ever think of (especially when you have this healing stick in play).
I just hope nothing bad happens to anyone, not even Bud, but especially Rosalee, Monroe and their baby. I want there to be a happy ending for everyone.

I am very excited to see what happens in these final episodes. The more they discover about the healing stick and the clothe it was wrapped in, the more intrigued I get. I need to know where it originated, what those symbols mean and why Juliette/Eve is the only person who can see them. This is going to be one crazy ride but I am strapped in and ready!
What were your thoughts on the episode? Any predictions?

2017 Winter Premieres

Here's my list of new and returning shows that I'll be watching that premiering this January - March. I will review each season premiere unless noted otherwise.

Grimm, Friday January 6th at 8pm on NBC
The final season. I'm sad to see it go but excited to learn more about the healing stick and what Nick and the crew are up to now. It'll be interesting to see how they wrap it all up.

Emerald City, Friday January 6th at 9pm on NBC
The really trailer and the cast intrigued me, so I'm giving it a chance. I'll review this after the first 2 or 3 episodes.


Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Friday January 13th on Netflix
I've been a fan of the books since elementary school. This was my Harry Potter. I was excited when the movie came out and I'm hoping that the series does the book series justice. I'll review this after I've completed the season.

Scandal, Thursday January 19th at 9pm on ABC
I am still here for this show. There's just something there that keeps drawing me back in. I may need to watch the season 5 finale again to refresh my memory, but I will be there with my wine and popcorn, livetweeting with all you Gladiators!

Voltron, Friday January 20th on Netflix
I remember the season 1 finale and how mad I was that it ended the way it did so I'm very excited to see what happens next.

Outsiders, Tuesday January 24th at 9pm on WGN
The show I never thought I'd watch or like but I do. Sasil, my Sasil, how I've missed thee. I've really missed everything about this show and can't wait to see what the characters get into this season.

The Fosters, Tuesday January 31st at 8pm on Freeform
This show continues to be drama on drama, but now things are getting really intense. Every character seems to be in a bad place right now and I'm itching to see how they get out of it.

Switched at Birth, Tuesday January 31st at 9pm on Freeform
Another show starting it's final season which makes me so sad because it's still the only one of it's kind on TV. It's sad that it will end with nothing in it's place, but nothing lasts forever. I'm sure there will be tons of tears from me throughout the season and especially during the finale episode.

Underground, Wednesday March 8th at 10pm on WGN
One of the most thrilling shows on TV is finally back. I can't wait to have these characters back on my screen, especially their newest character, Harriet Tubman. I legit screamed when they introduced her and knowing Aisha Hinds will play her makes me 10 times more excited.

So, what will you guys be watching this winter?
