Season Finale Update: The Flash

That finale! I think me and everyone other fan figured out how they would save Iris by the time the penultimate episode was over. So, there wasn't anything shocking about that. I think the most shocking and best part, for me, was when Iris shot SaviBarry.

When Barry walked into the Speed Force my first thought was "Oh wow! They're really doing this!" I know that Barry can't be The Flash forever and would eventually pass the torch but I wasn't expecting it to happen this soon. (If that's what's really happening.) Then I felt anger and sadness because Iris didn't get her happy ending! And that was it. Even after watching it a second time I felt the same way.

Now this season was interesting.

• The Good
• IRIS ANN WEST! This season was all about her and I love it! I'm obsessed with that fact that everyone dropped everything to do all that they could to keep this wonderful Black woman alive. HR sacrificed his life for her. And, at the end of the day she was the ultimate hero! If the name changes from 'The Flash' to 'The Iris West Show' I won't be mad!
• There were some great Westallen goodies. I especially liked the musical episode and the one when Barry lost his memories. Overall, it's been great watching them grow as a couple. 
• Cynthia was a great addition to the cast and I hope she sticks around for next season. 
• Wally becoming Kid Flash. 
• The Bad
• Savitar being Barry. I'm mostly upset by this because this is the third time the villain has been someone close to and trusted by the team. Also, my brain still can't comprehend how there was a version of Barry that wanted to kill Iris. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
• The predictability. It's never fun or shocking or interesting when I can predict what's going to happen. 
• The end of the finale. Did Jay really need to be busted out of the speed force?!
• The Ugly
• My face when I yelled at the TV each week.
• Having to watch Iris die over and over and over...

I have a few thoughts on next season. Savitar has been erased from existence so does that mean Wally loses his speed? And if he doesn't we are going to need a really good explanation for it. 

This may be an unpopular opinion but I am absolutely fine with having Barry gone for a good part of the first half of the season. The team is in a completely different place from before. Caitlyn/Killer Frost is gone. Barry is gone. Star Labs is gone. It would be interesting to see how everyone not only copes but moves forward with all this. I wouldn't mind seeing everyone doing their own thing for a little bit. Let Wally finish school. Let Iris do more reporting.
I also want it to be hard for them to figure out how to get Barry back, if they are the ones to figure it out. (He may get out on his own.) I don't want it to be this long drawn out this that ends being super simple in the end either.
And lastly, if Barry does get out and isn't gone forever, let him and Iris have a happy ending that lasts! I'm over them being separated in the finale! This has happened three times and that's more than enough.
Well, I'll see yall next season.

Season Finale Update: Jane the Virgin

That finale was a whirlwind! So many ups and downs. I laughed, cried, yelled a bit, too. Xo and Ro FINALLY got married and I am so happy!
After all this time of Rose being on the run the time they catch her, she's innocent! I couldn't believe that!
Luisa and Aneska teaming up is the best worst idea ever. Part of me wants to see them working together more because it would be hilarious but the other part of me doesn't because they are dangerous!
We finally met Adam! That fake out though! I really thought that it would be Rafael out on the deck.

This has been one crazy season! Now that I think about it, a lot happened. Michael got shot and didn't die, but then he did die and we jumped 3 years into the future (so does that mean it's 2020?). All these old relationships rekindled but then fizzled out. It was crazy and I loved it!
The one thing that shocked me the most was when they killed Michael. I really didn't think they would ever do that. After all that they've been through I really thought they would live out their happily ever after.
As for next season, I really can't predict anything but I do have one theory. I think that Jane and Rafael are going to end up like Rogelio and Xiomara. It just hit me when both couples were dancing next to each other at the wedding. Mateo went from his parents to his grandparents and I just thought of the parallels between the two couples. You can mark my words, and if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But, if I'm right, remember where you read it first.
Alright, until next time. And remember, it'll be on Fridays next season.

Season Finale Update: Scandal

That was one crazy, twisty finale! I didn't see any of it coming. Mama Pope's return was EPIC!! Her performance in the jail cell was master level acting and Khandi Alexander deserves an Emmy just for that!
I was shocked when it was reveled that Luna Vargas was behind her own husband's shooting! She was the last person on my suspect list. But, technically, Cyrus was really behind it. My one question; is Luna really dead? Liv told Cyrus that she wasn't so what kind of game is she playing?
I love that OPA is back together with Quinn in charge. She came full circle this season!
And Liv is command! I don't know how to feel about this because it could either go really bad or really well. Hoping for the latter.
I think I'm the only person who wished this finale was the series finale. So many storylines that over-arched each season closed and I just don't know how they can start new ones with only one season left. I also always thought the series would end once Fitz left office.

I enjoyed this season. The "what if" episode was one of my favorites.
Throughout this whole season part me thought that Liv was either the mastermind behind the whole shooting or that she was slowly becoming her father. I can't believe that one of those things actually happened!
Next season will definitely be an interesting one. We'll get a glimpse of Mellie's white house, Quinn's OPA (should we still be calling it that?), and Liv's B613! (Yay for women being in the highest positions of power!) Also, is Fitz going to be seen at all this season or is he gone for good? And what will that final episode be? Will Fitz and Liv finally be together forever or not?
We shall see.

Season Finale Update: Grey's Anatomy

Okay now THAT was a Grey's finale! There was a tragedy, things got super intense, and then there was a game changing ending. That is what I'm used to seeing with Grey's and I don't think we've had a finale like this in a while. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an awful person who wishes awful things like this to happen. But to me, it's not a Grey's finale if it isn't tragic.
I am sad to see Stephanie go, but at least she went out like a boss! And I'm also happy that that little girl (who is like little Mer 2.0) survived too.
I can't say I was upset when Minnick got fired. I never liked her and it became very obvious in this episode that she does not fit in with the Grey's crew. Just look at the difference between her reaction to hearing Stephanie was missing and Jackson's. Bailey was right with what she said about her.
I'm not mad that Maggie and Jackson's relationship may be explored. It's time for Maggie to have a relationship with someone who isn't an intern or already taken. Jackson is a good guy and it looks like April's not going to be jealous, so why not. (And no, they are NOT siblings. Let's not have that argument.)

I definitely like the second half of this season better than the first. It just took too long for us to find out Alex's fate. There were some great episodes like the one that took place in the prison and the series of episodes about Maggie and her mom. Those were so well done.
Well, I can't wait to see what this show does next. See ya then!

Season Finale Update: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This was another great finale! It made me so happy that they brought Robbie back for this episode, which brought together the 2 halves of the season. (Anyone else feel like they were watching 2 different seasons?)
Can we talk about the ending! One, who were those people that showed up in the diner and what was that contraption they were using? It made me think they were still in the framework! Two, is our team in space now because that's where it looked like Phil woke up!? If that's true then we'll be in for one interesting season. I just hope that if they are in space, they do not stay there for the entire season, unless they're on a different planet. I could be okay with that.

Now the season as a whole was fantastic. I think they did a really good job building up the darkhold and Aida. I wish they didn't stay in the framework for as long as they did, but in the end it all worked out. I think this show does an amazing job with their villains and Mallory Jansen did an awesome job as Aida. This show continues to get better and better with each season. (Although, season 2 will always be my favorite.) I will be right there for season 5, but it will be such a long wait! The only great thing about that is that there will be no breaks. So we get the whole season straight through!
Seen yall in 2018!

Season Finale Update: Rosewood

This finale was probably the best episode of the season. It was so intense and I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire time. That ending was rough, though. I don't think that any of us wanted Marcos to be bad news, but deep down knew something shady was going on with him. It's a shame he was in as deep as he was. TMI and Pippy finally tied the not, I just wish we could've seen Pippy actually walk down the aisle in that dress from season 1.
Now on to Rosie and Villa. First off, the "will they, won't they" of their relationship had fallen by the waste side for most of the season. It wasn't until the penultimate when people started mistaking them for a couple again. So, I had a feeling that this conversation would end with a cliffhanger, but I still screamed! Rosie should've said something! And Villa, the fact that she asked that question is just proof to me that didn't want to go in the first place. They frustrate me so much, I can't even deal!

This season was great! I really wondered how they were going to step their game up and I think they did that. Every episode got better an better as the season went along. Each case had so many twist and turns I had a hard time figuring out who did it! I have no idea what to say about next season other than I hope it happens. The wait to find out if we do get another season will be unbearable, so let's keep our fingers crossed!

Season Finale Update: Outsiders

There is one word to describe this season, yes season, finale; wild. The Farrells were fed up and decided to strike but that didn't work and that was no surprise. I understand that they wanted and needed to fight for their home, but they weren't a match for what was down below.
The ending scene on the mountain was the most intense part. That whole banishment, or should I say non-banishment, ceremony/new brenin ceremony was nuts. I was completely shocked when G'win said Lil Foster should be brenin. And then when he just broke the stick! I thought that he was going to bring peace to his family, but I guess not.
Also, Hasil is hurt and on the verge of death and Sally Ann doesn't even know!

This season was so good. I really liked all the storylines, except the Kinnah one.
The fact that we might not get another season really upsets me. How can they give a Sasil baby and then not let us see it?! How are they going to put Wade in jail and not the guy from One Planet?! And how are they going to leave the Farrells in disarray and not show us what happens next?! There are so many more questions I have and probably never get the answers.
Many people are coming together and tweeting #ShayMustStay at WGN with reasons why. There's also a petition, here, that you can sign. Maybe the power of the fans can keep this show alive.

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!

Season Finale Update: Emerald City

The first season of Emerald City has come to an end and here's my verdict; I loved it. This was a fantastic retelling of the classic story. The writers did a great job balancing the old and the new. Every character was written with such depth and each one had a twist to their story. It really kept me on my toes. Every week I was surprised about a new discovery.
Tip/Ozma's story and her relationship with West was one of my favorite parts. Of course I loved Dorothy and Lucas (yes, Lucas). I loved how their relationship came full circle in the end. I also really loved how it was Dorothy's (supposed) mother that landed her in Oz and now her mother is calling for her return.

The production and costume design for this show was so grand. Everything from the locations and sets to the costumes was epic. I wanted all of Lady Ev's outfits and masks! The whole scope of Oz was so big and bright. It was futuristic and yet old school at the same time. They did an amazing job with this.

I really hope that this show gets a second season because I have a ton of questions. I mainly need to know about Dorothy's parents, specifically who her dad is. I also need to know why Dorothy's mother really gave her away. Basically, I want more flashbacks around the time of Dorothy's birth. And of course I'm anticipating the Beast Forever's appearance. I'm also really interested in learning more about that history.
What did you guys think of the season? What do you want to see in season 2?

Season Finale Update: How to get Away with Murder

I have to be honest, this 2 hour season finale wasn't as jaw dropping as I thought it would be. After much thought I thinks it's because it was 2 hours long. There would've been more suspense and anticipation if they put a week between the first and second hour. It was a really intense episode and we finally got answers to our burning questions. The funny thing about it all is that even though we know who the person is that killed Wes, we still don't really know him. Like, yes, he is family friend of Laurel's but who is he really? That just opened up a whole new can of worms that I'm expecting we'll dive head first into next season. In the end, Annalise is out of prison and they can try and get things back to normal.

This season was different from the rest. Everyone was in a completely different place then seasons before. Annalise spent most of her time in jail, while Bonnie was the one showing up in court. Frank shaved his beard and went MIA for a bit. Connor went from being likable to super shady, and the rest of the Keating 5 were in relationships with each other. I really liked that they changed it up because it would've gotten really old really fast if they just kept doing the same "someone in Annalise's life commits murder and she helps them get out of it" storyline.
This season was good, overall. I did like the first half more than the second.

Next season will probably be all about Laurel. They'll dig more into her family and her past and she'll probably turn out to be someone completely different than who we thought. I am totally okay with this, but I do hope that one day we learn more about Michaela. We got to see her adoptive mother this season, but that just made me want to know more about her childhood. I wonder if she'll ever find her birth parents? But if next season is about Laurel, so be it.

What did yall think of the finale and the season?
