No More Game Of Thrones

Hey People,

The title says it all. I'm just tired of seeing sexual abuse all the time and watching a kid burn to death isn't what I had in mind for entertainment.

I'm okay with not seeing winter come.

I guess I'm following The Mary Sue footsteps.

Luv ya,
           Diva

P.S. I may have been too quick to judge. I know they couldn't change anything this season because everything was already set in stone and that's why I'm allowing them to fix their problem of writing female characters by waiting until next season to judge. If this shit continues, then I'm out the door for good.

Hey People,

S5 E8
I heard this was the best episode of the season and I thought it was because of Dany and Tyrion, but nope I was wrong. The White Walkers come out of nowhere and all hell breaks loose. I did not see that one coming, but it shows Jon just how powerful these White Walkers are. Jon's sword must be made out of dragon glass for him to take out a top tier White Walker and I was a bit sad when I saw the girl Wilding become one. But you know what they say about GoT, don't get attached to any character because they probably will die.

In other news. Jorah is cast out again. Maybe he'll get the message this time that he's unwanted. Loved the conversation between Dany and Tyrion and I can't wait to see these two in action. I hope they become bosom buddies.

Arya is still in training and it seems like she's getting really good at it. Have no idea what being an oyster girl is all about, but we'll just have to wait and see. As for Cersei, well #whothefuckcares about Cersei. She dug her own hole, let her rot in it. Although, it would be really pathetic if the King dies of starvation, but it seems like that's exactly what's going to happen.

Sansa found out that Reek didn't kill her brothers and it seemed to me that this new information has given her hope. Her horrible husband is planning to attack Stannis with 20 men. I hope he dies on the mission.


S2 E5
I'm upset. I saw everyone bone except for the couple I wanted to see the most. Penny Dreadful writers are a bunch of teases. With that out of the way, let's get into it.

Ms. Ives and Mr. Chandler are getting quite close and dare I say too close. One minute she's finally opened up about her past and the next she's already in his bed. More like she took it over, but I guess it's understandable when you're scared. Speaking of Mr. Chandler, the inspector is still on his case, but he still doesn't have any concrete evidence.

People are asking why Vanessa didn't recognize Lily/Brona when she had tea with her and Dr. Frankenstein. I don't know what to tell you people other than she doesn't remember. Brona was a brunette with long hair and a heavy Irish accent and Lily is blonde with short hair and an English accent. I know I wouldn't remember someone after one meeting and a dramatic change like that. Anyway it was lovely to see them together and I loved how Vanessa recognized right away that Dr. F was in love with Lily. Too bad for Mr. Clare/Caliban. (I seriously don't know what to do with these name changes. I might just have to go by their season 2 names.) Mr. Clare and Ms. Ives, once again have a nice chat that ends with them dancing. I would seriously root for these 2 if it weren't for Mr. Chandler, but hey I'm still rooting for the blind girl. (I really should remember her name and Eva Green can have chemistry with a cactus if she wanted to. She's that good.)

Dorian Gray and Angelique are still as cute as ever, but I really hope they start to mix with the group later. Dorian doesn't give 2 shits what other people think of them. I don't want another True Blood situation happening like they did with the werewolves.

So in the end, everyone was having sex. Dorian and Angelique, Sir Malcolm and Mrs. Poole, and Dr. Frankenstein and Lily were all boning by the end. Like I said, everyone except Ms. Ives and Mr. Chandler. They just stared into each other eyes and moved on. Oh and almost forgot, Mrs. Malcolm Murray killed herself because Mrs. Poole stabbed one of her dolls repeatedly in the brain so she'd go crazy and kill herself. So basically the scenes went sex, sex, slit her throat, back to sex again.

Okay so I thought I was the only one who thought this, but I'm not liking Lily. I didn't mind Brona. I just wanted her gone so Mr. Chandler could get with Vanessa, so it was for selfish reasons, but Lily is a whole other story. I liked how the show brought back Billie Piper, but I think she's playing Lily wrong. I think Lily is too forward and should be more innocent. Yes, Dr. F is timid when it comes to matters of the heart so Lily had to be a little bit more aggressive than him, but the way she plays the character makes it seem like she knows more than him when she shouldn't if she's asking him if she did everything right during their meet with Ms. Ives. She's supposed to be innocent, but that's not what I'm reading. I wonder if there are more of us out there who feel the same.

Outlander vs. Game Of Thrones (On Rape & Nudity)

Hey People,

I always wait to release finale not because I'm lazy (although that's a good portion of it), but because I like to see others' reactions and who knows, you might find more information out like The Good Wife. However, Outlander started a huge debate. Maybe I shouldn't say debate, but discussion. So instead of writing about what happened in the finale, which I could sum up in 4 short sentences (Jamie was raped. Claire helped him move passed it. Claire announces she pregnant. Jame and Claire are moving to France and plan to stop the future from happening.), I rather talk about rape. Yes, I know I already talked about it before with Game of Thrones, but this time it's different. This time it was on Outlander and it started the discussion of are we seeing too much rape on TV.

I'm not going to talk about Outlander or Game of Thrones just yet. Instead, I want to talk about a show that I just watched the first time ever this past season. This show has been on for several seasons and the only reason I watched it was because it was a crossover episode. That's right I'm talking about Law & Order: Special Victim Unit. I never knew what it was about, I just knew that it was a procedural and I'm more of a serial girl and so I stayed away. Chicago Fire has been having a lot of crossovers so I watched SVU's and that's how I found out what's so special about this unit. They deal with sex crimes. During the episode I cried because the shit was sad and I really can't comprehend how this show has last so long because I don't know how people can deal with these sexual cases all the time. Are people becoming numb to sexual crimes?

It's one thing to say a character has been raped, but it's entirely another to show the actual rape. I read a comment about Outlander's finale on how there was no need to show the rape because you can understand and feel the scene without seeing it. This was my response to the person:

I disagree. While I agree with you that people are becoming numb, I don't think Outlander applies in this case. There's a reason why they say a picture is worth a thousand words. While you can understand when a character says they were raped that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to feel it. Outlander made you feel it. They forced it upon you while watching and as hard as it was to watch, you had no choice but to feel.
While I watched, I was hoping they wouldn't show it, but of course they did and now that I think about it, I don't think I would feel as strongly as I do now if it was just said. However, I will probably never watch that episode again because it was just too much for me.

This person mentioned that they haven't watched the episode and claims they will probably never watch it, but I suggest that person and anyone who hasn't seen it should see it because maybe that's why we're overlooking or in this case what the original poster suggests becoming numb to rape in television shows. I think Outlander and Game of Thrones did it correctly. I think rape should be shown for the horrific act it is instead of it being said because the act is far worse than the claim of the act. Now in SVU's defense, they deal from the police perspective and therefore there's no need to be shown because the detectives only deal with the victims after the assault takes place and of course, SVU isn't on cable, so SVU can't show as much as Outlander or Game of Thrones even if they wanted to.

So back to the original question, are we seeing too much rape on TV? Yes, we are and I'm not just referring to GoT. Rape plots are being used too easily and it shouldn't be. The reason why GoT is feeling the pressure is because I don't know any other show that has used rape more. I'm not part of the group that is against Sansa's new story. I never read the books, so this is the only story that I know. However, reading comments and talking with friends is how I came to understand this wasn't how it happened in the books. I understand why some would hate what happened to Sansa and why even some of them quit. Sansa was already mentally abused by Joffery and just when you thought she would be safe, the writers thought they should combine characters and let Sansa be raped as well. And on top of that, this isn't the first time a character has been raped on the show. So how many more rapes do I have to sit through? By my count, this is the 3rd of the 5 seasons (and I'm only including the main characters, there are way more if I include the others). But that's not even what bothers me the most. It's the fact that, so far, none of these rapes had any lasting effects. You don't just get over being raped, but the writers on GoT write like you do. We still don't know what will happen to Sansa so maybe I'll be proven wrong, and therefore, I take back my words, but until that time, Game of Thrones will still feel the pressure. While I applaud GoT for showing the rape acts, I take back my applaud for not following through with the lasting effects of rapes.

Now Outlander spent its entire last episode dedicated to its rape scene. It was a lot and some even claim they won't return because of it, which is fine by me because as long as I can keep watching I say sayonara. However, there were some comments that had issues with how fast Jamie got over his rape. I have been informed by book readers that this will still affect him, so he won't just get over it like they do on GoT. I also noticed some people having a timeline issue asking how can Claire be pregnant. Time is different in the show than in the books (and so is the setting apparently) so the looking and saving of Jamie must have been shorter in the show for her to be pregnant. There really is no other explanation.

Lastly, I want to talk about the nudity of these 2 shows. One these shows does it correctly, while the other not so much. Can you guess which one? Alright, I'll tell you or how about I let the executive producer tell you provided by TVLine:

Outlander has gotten a lot of press for being one of the few series willing to show full frontal male nudity. What was behind the choice to do it in this episode?
That was mostly just decisions you make [during editing]. I remember not really caring one way or the other what I saw… It was OK in certain moments, and then if I saw their penis in this other shot, it might distract me. It might be like, “Oh, look, they’re showing it!” [Laughs] And that’s just not the right idea.
I think we only left one cut in there that’s full frontal of just Tobias [Menzies]. It’s the one where he gets up and walks away. It’s not really about anything else happening in that moment. It’s a quiet moment. He’s literally just getting out of bed, and he’s walking across the room. It wasn’t taking you out of the scene, if that makes sense. There were other points where you just decide, “No, if I use that angle, I’m not even listening any more.” You’re just kind of going, “Wow, look.” That was the wrong note to sound in those scenes.
That's how every show should approach nudity. Don't do it to get a reaction from people, do it for the art. Sometimes GoT does it well like when Dany is alive with dragons after being engulfed in flames. She's naked because her clothes are burned, but it speaks volumes when Emilia Clarke decided not to do nude scenes anymore. Did it take away from the show? Not at all, I didn't even notice until I read a comment about it. But then you have scenes like last week where one of the Sand Snakes starts exposing herself (the whole scene was pointless to be honest since she gave Bronn the antidote anyway), you start thinking maybe GoT is doing this just to make their nudity quota. Like really, what was the point of their discussion of if she was pretty? Smh Game of Thrones.

So what have we learned? In the case of Outlander v Game of Thrones, Outlander does it better. Game of Thrones needs to revamp their show or it'll just alienate its fan base even more like The Mary Sue.

Luv ya,
            Diva

P.S. My feelings on the Outlander finale:

It took me awhile to gather my thoughts after I watched. Hell, I was still crying afterwards. Like I said before, I was stunned. But before I dived into this episode let me say this was Sam Heughan's episode. He has my vote for best actor in any award he wants. All he has to do is turn this episode in and he should win. Tobias Menzies is still incredible. He really made me hate his character. Like I really hated Black Jack and there has been a debate online on whether Black Jack is the most diabolical character on TV. He makes me say Ramsey who? I started a poll 2 weeks ago about which scene was worse the jail scene in Outlander or the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones. Over 80% of you said the Red Wedding, but I wonder if I held off until this episode aired if people would have changed their mind. It was gruesome. I saw a man break to the point that he wished death. Not going to lie to you folks, I was a bit depressed after watching, but I still can't wait for next season.

Hey People,

S2 E4
Ives and the gang try to piece together the artifact puzzle and figure out it's an autobiography written by the devil. Sir Malcolm believes it's the planning of the future for Ms. Ives. The gang are attacked by witches and escape with locks of Vanessa's hair for some ritual. 


Meanwhile, Dorian is running around with Angelique and playing table tennis. As for Caliban Mr. Clare, he's getting mighty close to the blind girl. Too bad her father is already thinking about locking him in a dungeon. Well if Mr. Clare gets with her than Frankenstein doesn't need to worry about getting with his cousin. Oh, you know what I mean.

The police still have no idea, what's going on, but for some reason the investigator thinks magic is involved.



S5 E7
Jon Snow sets off into Wilding territory to talk peace. Maester Aemon or who I like to call the old blind guy (I could never remember his name) dies. With Jon gone and Maester Aemon gone, Sam had very little friends at The Wall, which is why two guards tried to sexually assault Gilly. Sam wasn't having any of it and he tried to stop them, but it was the growl of Ghost that scared them off. Sam was badly beaten, but Gilly took real good care of him ;) I was rooting for Sam from the fight all the way to the bedroom. You go Sam!

There's no disputing it now. Sansa was definitely raped. She said so herself. Every night he comes (maybe I should have used a better word there) and every night she wishes to be saved. She asks Reek to help her by lighting the candle in the tower, but Reek goes to Ramsey instead. Damn it, Reek! Man is gone. He can die for all I care. I thought maybe he would save Sansa the first night, but nope. Then I thought maybe this time he will, but nope. I'm tired of giving this man chances. I hope if Sansa escapes she kills him along the way. She should pull a Tyrion and Brienne needs to come save her already. I wonder what her and Pod do all day other than staring out the window.

Speaking of Tyrion, my favorite moment comes when Tyrion and Dany finally meet. I love how Dany has no idea who he was. I love those moments when characters finally come together. Jorah offered Tyrion as a gift to Dany. How long until Jorah turns? I bet he'll ask to be killed first.

Stannis Baratheon is still going ahead with his plan to takeover the north even though 500 of his men up and left and his horses are dying. Melisandre tells him to offer his daughter up is the only way to win. What the fuck is this girl smoking? Stannis should listen to Davos and turn back. It's not a loss if you haven't even begun the war yet.

Cersei is an idiot. I knew this was going to happen. Why did she think the Sparrows would help her out and condone her sins as well? My friend says I have a lot of smh moments in my future when it comes to Cersei. The Queen of Thorns is trying to get her grandchildren out of jail and so she teams up with Littlefinger once again.

My friend and I were discussing this and we find the scene between the Sand Snakes to be stupid. My friend finds her becoming naked to be pointless and I can't find a reason why she would give him the antidote. He tried to kill you and you tried to kill him, yet you give him an antidote to save his life. Why? I like the guy, but there was no reason for him to live.

Hey People,

Did you miss me? Well I missed you.

S5 E6
That was just sick, but we'll get to that. Arya took a big step last week. Even though she may not be ready to become nobody, she's ready to become somebody else. I'm glad the show made us realize that she did in fact like the Hound, so she's not completely dead inside. Side note: Those were a lot of heads!

Jorah found out about his father's fate. I have to be honest with you, I would have never had known about who his father was if it weren't for the Previously On Game of Thrones... This is why they have to sum up what happened in the past for people like me. Jorah and Tyrion get caught by slavers. Apparently, dwarves' cocks have magic powers. Tyrion sure knows how to talk his way out of death sentence. Another side note: Tyrion cock isn't small.

Cersei is an idiot. First, she gets played by Littlefinger, and then she thinks she can win without money. Did no one learn anything from the Bush debacle? Anyway, it was great to see the Queen of Thorns. You don't know how much you miss that lady until you hear her speak. I bet good money that the Sparrow will try to take over the crown. Religion should never rule because chaos will always follow it. Everyone knew Loras Tyrell is gay. Denying it was stupid and so was holding a trial about it. Now the queen and Loras are in jail.

Ramsay is a sick fuck, but we already knew that. Reek had to watch as Sansa lost her virginity. It freaked me out, but at least GoT did it with taste. They could have shown some nasty shit with this, but they didn't. It still left me feeling horrible though. I was hoping Theon would kill Ramsay, but it didn't happen. Sansa Stark, I hope you know what you're doing.


S2 E3
Leave it to Penny Dreadful to make me tear up over a character we just met. They made me like and they took Joan away just as quickly. Not cool.

Last week, was a blast from the past episode. We got to dive more into Vanessa Ives past and how she met her first witch, Joan Clayton. Vanessa was looking for a way to be cured of her curse and she's still looking, but Joan didn't offer her a cure, instead she offered her knowledge. This is how Vanessa became aware of witches, herbs, and how to read cards. She also learned how to talk in the devil's tongue. I'm guessing that she didn't see Mrs. Poole because if she did, she wouldn't have acted like she didn't know her at the seance. Joan was a part of the same covenant as Mrs. Poole until she was kicked out because she didn't want to praise the devil. Joan tried to protect Vanessa, but Mrs. Poole used the town people against her and got her burned, not at the stake, but by hanging. She was dying anyway so I don't know why Mrs. Poole couldn't just wait it out.

Joan wanted Vanessa to stay, but Vanessa still wanted to try and save Mina. Joan left Vanessa her property and something tells me this won't be the last time we see this place.

Vanessa never shared this story with anyone, until Mr. Chandler. One step closer to them being together. We didn't get to see anyone else in this episode and I didn't really care. As long as I get my Vanessa Ives dose, I'm good. #MyLittleScorpion

Game Of Thrones: Was It Rape?

Hey People,

I tried to stay away from spoilers so I didn't know their was controversy over this scene. The Cersei and Jamie scene last year was clearly rape. I don't care what the people on the show say. She said no. If they wanted to portray a non-rape scene, they failed miserably. However, this one I can understand why it's being debated over. However, this is still rape. Just because someone doesn't say no, doesn't mean it's an automatic yes. Just like if someone was passed out and you wanted to have sex with said person, it's still considered rape even if the person didn't say no. Someone can still be raped in marriage as well. Just because you put a ring on it, doesn't mean you get a free pass for a lifetime. You could argue that she didn't fight back, although it's not necessary to fight back for it to be rape. You could even argue that most women don't enjoy their first time, But seriously, if Sansa was given a choice to have sex or not have sex, I'm pretty sure we all know what she would have chosen. I just go with the rule, if you have to think if it was consensual or not, then it probably was not.

I think most people are just sick of people being raped on this show, to be honest. Someone wrote that Sansa being raped means a new queen is being born. That's a really sad realization because doesn't that mean all the potential and passed queens on the show have been raped, except Arya? It's sick and I have to agree with people that I'm sick of watching it happen on Game of Thrones.

And to all of those who keep saying it's a TV show, it's not real, to those I say that's our point. It's fiction and so they choose to add this in the show. I get that it was based on the books and they combined characters. I'm not really upset over that, but more of the fact that it keeps happening. To put it bluntly, this shit is getting old.

Luv ya,
           Diva

P.S. What scares me the most is that people don't recognize rape when it's staring them right in their faces.

Dany is getting married, again. It worked so well last time. She's getting married for political reasons and she's reinstated the arena so free men can fight. I'll settle for anything that gets her out of that hell hole. I need her to start sailing. Grey Worm and Missandei finally kissed. I'm guessing that's all we'll ever see from them.

Jon Snow is going on a trip north of the wall to gather up the Wildlings. He's agreed to let them go south of the wall, if they agree to help with winter. This didn't sit well with most watchers, but they have to deal because if they don't get help they'll all die at the hands of walkers. Stannis has lent Snow ships to help carry them. Meanwhile, Stannis is on his way out to take the north from the Boltons at Winterfell.

Sansa finally saw Theon aka Reek. Rage and sadness filled her all at once. The Boltons should never be trusted, but at least Sansa knows now that if she's ever in need, all she has to do is light a candle in a tower. The back story of how Ramsay's mother was horrific. I hope Roose Bolton dies a slow death.

The episode ends with Tyrion and Jorah. They pass through The Doom and get attacked. Tyrion walks away fine, but Jorah's been touched. Well at least we know he's going to die beforehand. What's the point of going to Dany now? Oh look, a dragon!

P.S. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought Ramsay wanted a BJ from Reek.


S2 E2
So the premiere was basically an introduction to the baddie of the season, who was actually introduced in the first season, but never mind that. Girl is cutthroat, literally.

Last week, Ms. Croft lived! Frankenstein gave her less electricity and so language came back rather quickly. I love how they gave Croft an English accent (Billie Piper's real accent). That's one way to dodge a bullet. Anyway, Frankenstein named her Lilly and told her he was her cousin. I don't know about you, but he's getting way too close to his cousin. It would be incestuous and at the same time, not.

Meanwhile, Ms. Ives wanted to find peace and so Sir Malcolm took her to a place where he finds peace. Think soup kitchen except with cholera. There she meets Caliban or what he's now going by John Claire. Someone is now shipping Caliban and Vanessa together. Umm, no. I love how their stories are starting to intertwine and Caliban and Vanessa's conversation about religion, but that doesn't mean I'm going to ship them. I'll ship Caliban and Dorian before that and that would be a sight to see.

Speaking of Dorian Gray, called it. I thought her voice was very intriguing, but to me, it was also what gave her away. Dorian Gray is once again making the rounds, but is still clinging to Ms. Ives. I hope we get to see Angelique again.

I don't know what Mrs. Poole did to Sir Malcolm, but like it matters, she already has someone on the inside. I'm talking about you Mr. Lyle. He helped the group get their hands on some artifacts that will help them with the devil's language. Now all they have to do is make sense of them all. Mr. Lyle flirting with Mr. Chandler and Mr. Chandler flirting right back made me think of Mr. Chandler and Mr. Gray. I'm still confused on what happened there last season. Anyway, Mrs. Poole has some photos of Mr. Lyle doing naughty things and is blackmailing him for information on our group.

We got to see a room of Mrs. Poole. Now usually I have no problem seeing dolls upon dolls. It's creepy, but nothing crazy. However, I draw the line at taking baby guts and putting them into dolls and then realizing that all the dolls she has must be of other baby guts and there were a lot! That's when you know this bitch is crazy. She took the baby's guts and put it in a doll that resembles Ms. Ives.

Hey People,

PENNY DREADFUL IS BACK!

I've been waiting for this show to come back for so long. It's like all the greats come back at the same time and they're all on the same night. It's a great night tonight folks.

I know there was an early viewing of the premiere tonight, but I haven't watched it yet. Been gaming a bit lately. I'll probably watch it before the premiere and do recaps for you.







S1 E9
So who is her? Damn it Cornell, why didn't you just say the name. Okay I know that I've been rooting for Dave to be the killer. He would have been a great killer, but since it's a woman my call goes to Abby. I still don't think it's Christy. I don't think she's capable of it and as violent as Jess is, I don't think she would hurt her child as her sister claims. Besides that talk between Ben and Abby about how she has to take responsibility really makes me think that she's missing to turn herself in.

Christy is a bitch. I can't stand women who won't let the baby daddys be a part of their children's lives. I wish Ben never slept with Jess. I thought he would deny her because of what Abby said and the way she was acting, but nope, man didn't even hold out a little. Turns out Jess is crazy without her meds, but would probably be really great at throwing daggers.

The season finale is tonight so don't miss it. There has been talk that S&L will be renewed, but probably won't feature the same people except for maybe Cornell. If it does comeback I'll definitely be watching if it is as good as this one.

Hey People,




Congratulations to S&L for being an actually good miniseries that has a chance of being renewed.

I had 3 big problems with this episode though. For one, Ben's attorney sucks. Most criminal defense attorney's wouldn't put their defendant on the stand unless they absolutely have to that doesn't mean if Ben can't go on the stand that he should admit guilt. If I was Ben I would have fired the lawyer on the spot. On top of that I don't see why the lawyer has to go after Christy at all. Ben should no longer be at fault when someone else drugged him. No offense to his best friend, but the lawyer should go after Dave as the responsible party. The other thing is just Christy being a bitch. It's just so wrong how she uses her kids against him. Ben doesn't want her money, all he wants is to spend time with his children and she won't even let him do that, not even on frickin Christmas. Lastly, why didn't Ben wipe down the weapon before he threw it down the hole? Didn't even wipe down the handle bars. If you re-watch the scene you'll notice Dave uses his sweatshirt to not leave fingerprints. Dave knows the deal.

I'm glad that Ben finally remembers that night and he's not the killer, but what I'm really glad about is how the story flowed and actually made sense. It wasn't some half-ass concoction that was so out there that I wouldn't be able to get behind. I've always thought the killer was either Christy, Dave, or Abby, but now I definitely think it's Dave. I think Christy will be the last red herring with having a secret stash of money. I don't think she knew about the affair and that someone told her. Maybe even Kevin, the neighbor who tried to kill Ben, told her or maybe it was Dave himself. The reason I think it's Dave is because he knows too much. I don't think he got the flashlight to help out Ben, but to torment him with it again, but he didn't plan on Christy seeing Ben in the woods. Dave drugged Ben to begin with and Dave seemed disappointed about not going with Ben to finish their game of tracing the night. Plus, Dave seems dumb, but legally he seems to know his shit (not leaving fingerprints behind). My money is on Dave.

Hey People,

I always think I'm done with this show and then I watch the next episode and I get sucked back in all over again.

Ben tries to help the reporter take down Cornell by discrediting her past cases, but that backfires because Cornell was right about them including her daughter, who should be locked up in jail for writing prescriptions using her father's pad, which made him lose his license.

Ben puts it together that the reporter leaked the info of Tom's biological father by paying a cop, so now he's back in jail.

Ben got rid of the "present" in the woods and when Christy asked him what he was doing in those woods he lied and said he was taking a leak. Christy knew he was lying and complained to her brother about it, who then called the cops to search the woods. However, they didn't find the "present" so where is it? Christy can no longer stand Ben's lies and gives him an ultimatum to either tell her the truth or she walks and Ben chose for her to walk. That was a pretty heavy scene. It even had my eyes watering reminding me of my parents divorce.

So now Cornell knows Ben had a blackout and can't remember anything from that night from the taxi camera (but I don't know any taxi camera that shows what happens outside the taxi, but whatever), which means he could have been capable of anything that night, especially when the camera shows him walking towards Tom's house. So why didn't Jess say anything to Ben about that night?

Game Of Thrones Leak

Hey People,

So I wasn't seeking the leaks out and I'm definitely not posting them on my blog for people to watch, but my friend sent me the first 4 episodes of season 5 and when you have such temptation like that, it's hard to say no. And so I watched them.


*SPOILERS AHEAD*
But before you read on can I just say I hate that I see vaginas everywhere. HBO be fair! If a man and woman are both naked, it's not fair I only see a vagina. Either both or nothing. Stop being sexiest! This is seriously why I prefer Starz over you.

Game Of Thrones Is Back!

Hey People,

Game of Thrones is back tonight!

If you haven't that yet, then you clearly live under a rock because I've been hearing it for weeks now.

I'll do a regular recap of this show or maybe a review, if I can find a great discussion to talk about. My friends always asked me what I thought because I haven't read the books and they have. They always wanted to know who I liked and what I thought was going to happen so I'm glad I get to share my opinion here for you to read.

I can honestly say, I have not been spoiled yet. I have no idea who's coming or what's about to happen this season. I've been lucky so far. All I know is never like a character too much because if I do they end up dead, but I can't help it. I love Arya and I don't care who knows.

Hopefully, she makes it through another season.

Luv ya,

The Leftovers Review

Hey People,

So I just watched The Leftovers and I'm at a lost for words. All I can think of is this show really scares. Granted, I do get scared easily so that's not saying much, but the reason why I'm scared of this show is because it's so real. Let me explain.

Summary: Three years ago, 2% of the population just up and disappeared out of thin air. No one knows where they went and we witness how people react to the situation.

Like usual, I had no idea what this show was about. I just heard the name in a couple of places and decided to check it out. To tell you the truth, I thought  The Leftovers was about a restaurant or something involving food. Boy was I wrong.

This show focuses on a family--a very broken family--that each deals with the situation differently. There were so many times in the pilot episode that I was scared for my life. Why my life? I'm not sure, but if I was in the same situation as them, I'm not sure which cult group I would be in. Maybe that's what scares me the most.
