Once Upon a Time Episode 11, "Heroes and Villains"

Like I start out just about every blog post that has to do with shows I watch, if you haven't watched this show, don't read ahead, stop right now, and start watching the show from Season 1. =)
Ok, this episode was the mid season finale for Once Upon a Time. I really hate mid season finales, but I guess without them, the season would be over a lot more quickly than normal. And we'd still be upset.

So on with what happened this episode. I was kind of freaking out about Hook, and thought he was gonna die for sure. But like someone said on OUAT's Facebook page, this all could have been Gold's plan all along. Make people think he was going to use Hooks heart, and then really Belle sending him across the line, separated him from the Dagger, which is all he cared about in the first place. And now he has all his powers, and is separated from the Dagger. But I don't think that he expected Belle to show up. He looked really surprised and very sad when he was forced across the line. I think he still has a plan, but the only way I see it working is with his magic that he still has, and people think he lost. But now that he can not get his happy ending, him wanting to find the author of the book is just like Regina wanting to find the author. And in order to do that he has to get back to Storybrooke. But how is he going to do that?? Also if this was all planned, he wouldn't be wanting to get to the author of the book, he'd be content with all the magic he has, and being separated from the dagger. But he still might want to get to Storybrooke, to get back at Belle or to get his happy ending with Belle. So it's all very interesting, and there's all kinds of theories.
Another thing that happened in this episode was that the Frozen arc ended. Elsa and Anna went back to Arendale and had their happy ending finally. Of course Disney will probably show things differently in Frozen 2. But at least we have a different view on things. And OUAT's views on fairy tales are pretty awesome. There wasn't much about Snow White and Prince Charming in this episode, just them showing up to help stop Gold, and be there when Elsa and Anna went back home. Another thing to think about is, that Gold did not want Anna talking with anyone, because of what she knew about him, so I'm guessing the only reason he told them about the portal to Arendale was to get rid of them, so maybe Anna wouldn't spill the beans, but that didn't work. And it could have all been part of Gold's plan to separate him from the dagger... guess we won't know until March. =(
But wait something else happened this episode, and it involved Robin Hood and Regina. I was so hoping Robin Hood and Regina were good to go. But Marian came down with a frozen heart again, WHY>?? I don't get this at all. Something seems strange about it. I was hoping that Regina would have her happy ending, but proud of her for doing the right thing. And another thing I thought about having to do with Gold's plan, why would he tell Regina he was leaving?? Why tell her that he's getting his happy ending with Belle?? Kind of adds to the theories about him being aware of what was going to happen all along, that maybe he does still have his powers and is going to return to Storybrooke with three more villains.
Again, guess we have to wait till March. =( I hate mid season finales!! But at least we can look forward to a few more Villains, including the return of Maleficent!!

Son's of Anarchy Series Finale, "Papa's Goods"

Spoilers ahead, so if you haven't watched any episode of SOA, you don't need to be reading this. You need to watch the show, and start from season 1.
Ok, I'm not going to go into a whole lot of details with what happened in this episode, because if you're a huge SOA fan, you already know. And if you're not, then you're probably not interested in reading this anyways.
I was expecting Jax to die, I didn't know how it would happen or when, but I was expecting it. So this whole spoiler situation with a book getting sent out to early, and people finding out that Jax's name was on the list of people to die in Season 7, well DUH, can't believe you didn't think he would die.
It was obvious throughout the episode before this one, and this episode that Jax wanted to die. He was ready, he was very calm about everything, and did what he needed to do.  I expected him to send his boys with Wendy and Nero, and for a brief moment I thought Nero might be mad enough about Gemma dying to kill Jax himself. But that didn't happen. I also thought for a minute that Chibs and the club would actually kill Jax. But that didn't happen either. Instead, Chibs shot Happy in the arm, and decided to tell the other presidents that Jax started shooting and took off. Once I realized that Jax was riding his father's bike, I started thinking, wait just a minute here.... he's gonna go out on his dads bike. So I had figured that part out, but not exactly how it would go down. Once Jax got on the road, and the cops started to follow, my first thought was he is going down like a true outlaw, killed by the cops. But no, that didn't happen either. Now there comes the semi (same driver that gave Gemma a ride btw) and I knew exactly what was going to happen. He was going to go out like his dad. Because if you remember Drury said that John Teller, had to have noticed his bike had been messed with, and instead of stopping, ran into the semi truck.
Jax took care of everything that would connect his sons to the Son's of Anarchy, except the ring Gemma gave Abel while he was at school, before she took off. So, will Abel go back to Charming in the future, just cause of this ring? That's a possibility, and it makes you think, did Jax do all this stuff for nothing? Because Abel is going to wonder what exactly that ring means. But I guess it all depends on what Nero and Wendy tell the boys. If they're truly going to tell the boys Jax was a bad guy.
And we finally found out who the homeless woman is. (kind of) Kurt Sutter said on Anarchy Afterward, something like, "She's whoever you want her to be." That they added in some hints here and there, and however the fans interpret it all, that's how they see it.
I do think she's some sort of angel, maybe the angel of death? (The Reaper?) I see her being that more than Jesus Christ. There is the whole bread and wine thing, but to me that just shows she's there when Jax actually gets killed, and gives it the whole religious, mystical type feeling. But like Sutter said, you interpret it the way you want.
And that is basically how I feel with the ending of SOA. I feel like it was a great ending to a great show. It's sad, that it's over. Of course I didn't want Jax to die, but it would've been quite a surprise if he didn't. All the hints were there, it was obvious that it was coming. I didn't want it to happen, like so many other fans, but it did, and I think it was still a great ending. I have to say well done to the cast and crew. SOA is right up there with The Walking Dead as one of my favorite shows. It's a show that I could watch over and over again.

Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.

The Walking Dead Mid-season Finale

Sorry so late on this post!! I've been so busy watching shows, making clay stuff, and being a mom.
First let me say that this episode rocked!!! As always spoilers ahead, so beware if you haven't seen it yet or don't watch the show. If you don't, you need to, and start with season 1.
Basically this whole episode was all about rescuing Carol and Beth from the crazy hospital. Before they get to that point, the group find three officers from the hospital and hold them hostage. But the officers actually help the group some in the end. Except for one, (named Bob, yes another Bob) he knocks Sasha out and eventually gets hit by a car and shot in the head, by Rick. (Hey he was asked to stop.) The other officers work something out with Rick, and they head for the hospital to negotiate. Meanwhile Michonne and Carl (don't forget Judith) are stuck back at the church with father Gabriel. Gabriel leaves the church to go see Bob's leg for himself. (Bob 1 of course not Bob 2) This dumb decision leads to a herd of walkers coming to the church, leaving Michonne, Carl, and Judith no choice but to not be in the church. They try to lock the walkers inside and that almost turns out bad but luckily the other half of the gang shows back up. And by other half I mean Abraham, Rosetta, Maggie, Glenn, etc. They show up and park their fire truck in front of the church doors. Maggie finds out Beth is alive and that her and Carol are in a hospital, and that's where Rick and everyone else is headed.
Now for the biggest part of the episode. Rick and Dawn square off and decide on a trade, her officers for Beth and Carol. Everything is good, they trade. Then Dawn says Noah, who made it out of the hospital with Beth's help, also has to come with them. Beth obviously is not happy with this and remembers she still has her scissors hidden in her sleeve. She confronts Dawn even after Noah says everything is alright, then stabs Dawn in the shoulder with the scissors. The next few moments happen very fast, BAM- Dawn shoots Beth in the head, then BAM- Daryl in a fit of rage shoots Dawn in the head. The officers step up and tell Rick and them its over, no one else needs to get hurt. Daryl is very shaken up, the way he looks at Beth is heart breaking. (I cried) Rick lets everyone left in the hospital know that they can come with them, but from the looks of it only Noah does.
Maggie and the others arrive just as Rick and everyone else is walking out. She's very happy at first thinking Beth is gonna walk out. But she falls to the ground and cries when she sees Daryl walking out holding the limp body of her sister. And that's the episode.
It was very sad, and unexpected. But yet I did expect it when Beth confronted Dawn. You get that feeling like something's about to happen and it's not good.
I loved the episode and I'm counting the days till February. ;)

Son's of Anarchy, thoughts so far for the last season??

First there's a few spoilers coming ahead, so if you haven't watched this show, don't keep reading, and I suggest you start with the first season. =)
Ok, so basically since this is the last season you kinda already knew that eventually Jax is gonna find out that Gemma Killed Tara. In fact she killed her very brutally with a carving fork. 
Since the season started all I kept thinking was seriously, all this is happening cause of Gemma and her secret. (She blamed Tara's murder on the Chinese, because of this Jax killed an innocent man, as well as betrayed Henry Lin.) I kept waiting for Gemma to break down. Surprisingly she never did, what gave her up was the fact she though Jax had found out, and told Thomas she was sorry for killing his mom, not knowing that Abel was listening in around the corner. 
Jax, is basically just out for revenge, and he doesn't like anyone telling him what he can do and can't. So as soon as August Marks told him that now isn't the time for revenge against the Chinese, that kinda sealed his fate with Jax. But he should have listened, and maybe now he realizes that. Or maybe not. But anyways, because of Gemma's secret so many people have gotten killed this season. The one I didn't really expect, was Bobby. And it was so nasty, and brutal. August Marks sending pieces of him to Jax, and then the final blow, a shot to the head right in front of Jax. 
Even though Gemma's secret is now out (Abel told Jax what he overheard after he found out from Jax that Wendy is his real mom), there is SO much more going on with only TWO episodes left!! 
First of all, there's Gemma. I have a feeling she's going to her father's house. And according to previews, Jax might be headed there in the future. But will he kill her? Will Unser step in, and get hurt? Has Unser even put things together yet about Tara's murder? 
And there's Juice. Jax left the jail telling Juice that he'll make sure it's quick. Is he talking about Juice's own murder? I believe so. Or he could be talking just about Gemma's. But I doubt it. 
Ok, next there's the whole deal with Drury. Jax killed him, thinking that he betrayed the club by telling Lin where the guns were. I can see why Jax might think this. Even I thought it. But you have to admit the paid off cop was also a obvious suspect. (can't think of his name, I know it starts with a B. lol)  I mean why kill his employee out in the open just like that? He didn't want the club to know something. And Juice confirmed it all, with the info he got from Lin before he killed him. 
Speaking of Juice and Jax, that scene in the jail was so intense, and literally had me shaking, cause I was so into it. The actors were amazing!! 
But back to Drury, the other presidents could vote for Mayhem, which it sounds like they do by the looks of the previews. In that case is Jax gonna die? Or will someone else in the club? 
Lastly, there's August Marks. Since he doesn't really have anyone left in his crew, I don't see to much happening with him, unless he just kills Jax randomly in the end. Or kills someone else. But I could be wrong, he might step back up and kill quite a bit more people then we think. 
So what do you think?? Will Jax kill Gemma? There are a few more ways he could really do harm to her without killing her. Some have said he could banish her. But she's already left, in fear of being killed. So I don't know how that might affect her. Either way I don't see her ever seeing her grand-kids again.  
What do you think will happen as far as the other club presidents, will they vote Mayhem, and someone else dies, could it be Jax?
What are your thoughts about this fantastic Series ending? 
Here's a preview for the next episode!

The Vampire Diaries Episode 6.07 Do you remember the first time?

Sorry so late on this post. I have been watching the Vampire Diaries since the newest season started. I have to say I am very bummed about some things. 
1.) Damon and Elena, I'm kinda already tired of her not remembering, and the whole using drugs to see him again.. blah blah, I'm over it, move on whether or not they end up together, just move on. 
2.) Get on with finding a way to get Bonnie back, COME on, get over the romance, and get moving with other story lines. I want to see more of what is going to happen with Bonnie, and the psycho.
3.) Stefan seriously gets on my nerves acting like he didn't know Caroline liked him. Such a weird-o. 
4.) Enzo reminds me of the reason why we all loved Damon in the beginning, even though he was a "monster".

I read an article online, and also read the comments, and I agree with some of them, the whole kissing in the rain thing was good and all, but it was a flash back. There's a little to much romance going on with this show. I'm a woman, I love romance, but I don't want to see it all the time. With The Originals, they show way more stuff going on, and they tempt you with touches of romance here and there. Much like the writers do with Daryl on the Walking Dead. I like that, I like the possibility of something romantic happening but so much is going on that catches your attention, that love is pushed to the back burner. The only thing that was good about this episode was Enzo killing the hunter, making him a vampire, so that as soon as he crossed the Mystic Falls line, he was killed. That was GREAT! Also I loved it when Damon found Bonnie's bear. Even though they can't stand each other, it was great seeing him picking up the bear, and realizing she was still alive and now I predict he's going to do everything he can to save her, and it's going to involve the new witch Jo, also Alaric's love interest. I don't know how Alaric is going to feel about Damon wanting Jo to do something, because Alaric has lost others because of supernatural stuff. I'm curious about the new Salvatore, that's in Mystic Falls, because since she is the next living relative in line, the house belongs to her, so does that mean that Stefan and Damon can't enter without her consent?? They're not showing enough of that story line, Jeremy hasn't even told Stefan yet. So I want to see more about that. 
So what do you think about the current story line? And what do you think will happen in the future?
Here's a sneak peek of the next episode!!

Once Upon a Time Episode "Smash the Mirror"

Here's a show I don't talk about all that much, Once Upon a Time. I've been watching this show since it first started, and I have to say it's a great twist on the fairy tales/Disney characters we're use to.  If you haven't seen it, I suggest you start with season one, and do not read further, because there are *spoilers* ahead.
This new season brought Frozen to Once Upon a Time, which I was a bit surprised with because Frozen is such a new movie. But it's working out nicely, because it gives you more of a back story on Anna and Elsa's parents and why they were on that boat. It also shows you a connection with Elsa and Emma, being that they have trouble controlling their powers, and also have family issues. 
But anyways this last episode was pretty intense. It made you think that Emma was going to give up her magic to Rumple.

 But Rumple of course being Rumple, had another plan in mind, he was going to trick Emma into thinking she was just giving up her magic but instead he was going to let her get sucked into the Fantasia hat. (Yes the hat from the Mickey Mouse Fantasia, it sucks the magic out of people, while also sucking them into the hat.) The snow queen who Rumple trapped with a spell, tried to stop Emma using a "hologram" of herself in the middle of the road. She tried to explain what Rumple was doing, but Emma did not believe her, because she is the villain in this story. Hook also tried to show up just in time to save her, but Rumple stopped him, and had him watch the show that was about to happen. Luckily Elsa stopped Emma by explaining to her that it wasn't just her family's love she needed, she needed to love herself for what she is, powers and all. And Emma didn't give up her magic. Rumple was not happy and still held onto Hook, by taking his heart. Now he is able to control him, and will later use his heart in a spell to sever his bond with the dagger that controls him. (The dagger that Belle thinks she has, but it is a fake.) But Rumple still needs a really powerful person to sacrifice also. Afterwards (after a family celebration, of fireworks brought forth by Emma's magic.) Elsa and Emma found themselves wearing yellow ribbons that belonged to the snow queen and her sisters (one of whom was Elsa's mother). The yellow ribbons connect all three, in a sisterly like bond, but with them the snow queen is able to use their powers to boost her own. And the episode ends with the snow queen telling Rumple that she is more powerful then him and isn't afraid of him. Also she casts a major spell that will turn the whole town of Storybrooke against one another, called the Shattered Sight spell. 
I look for Hook to use the hat to stop the snow queen. And hopefully somehow Emma will find out the truth that Hook is in danger, because come on, Emma deserves to have a love interest. Hopefully the hat doesn't get used on Regina, or Emma accidentally.  (which sometimes happens in Storybrooke.)  What's your opinion on this last episode, and the show in general?
Here's a sneak peek of the next episode which airs in two weeks! 

The Walking Dead Episodes 4 & 5

Sorry I haven't written about The Walking Dead lately, I've been pretty busy with my clay creations, babysitting, being a mom, you know all kinds of stuff, along with watching my favorite TV shows. =)
Well for this post, I'm not going to describe every single thing that happened the past two episodes. If you've watched them, you already know, if not, you need to start watching the show. (Start with Season 1) 
In my opinion episode 4 was better then episode 5. The whole Beth story was pretty cool. The hospital is a pretty crazy place, and the officer (Dawn) is very unstable. She makes you feel sorry for her, or kind of feel like she's really a nice person, but then BAM she smacks people in the face, and beats them up. I was kind of pissed that Beth didn't make it out with Noah, but yet I understood why she smiled when he did get out. I believe that Daryl has Noah with him, because you see him and Carol around the hospital, and Carol being wheeled through the hospital at the end of the episode. But, Noah definitely wasn't in the car they were chasing, or he might have been chased down and brought back, and was in the car... who knows. Guess we'll find out next time. 
On to Episode 5. I was not much on it. It was pretty boring, besides the water zipping through all the walkers, and Eugene coming clean on not being a scientist, which was something we all already knew. The back story on Abraham was a little spooky. It was sad that his family was afraid of him, after he took care of business killing the men who hurt them. I'm wondering if Eugene is still alive after the beating he got from Abe. And how is the group feeling after the way Abe acted towards Eugene. But after Eugene's big lie, do they feel the same way just not showing it physically?? 
All this is something to think about. For now, goodnight jewells, I have to go take a final exam. ;)

Reign "Three Queens" Episode Review Can we say Team Narla??

Spoilers ahead if you haven't watched the newest episode of Reign on the CW DON'T READ THIS!! =) 
Ok, just to make things quick, the episode mostly centered around Mary and Catherine, getting stuck in a tavern type environment because of their carriage being ambushed. While they were in the tavern they run across "Impostors" playing Francis and Mary, and taking money, and along the way the fake Francis is burning peoples homes, to give the King and Queen a bad name. Francis of course finds them, and it turns out being a guard that was doing all the orchestrating of the impostors on behalf of Elizabeth. It's good being able to see Mary and Catherine bond more in this episode. You almost think that Catherine is starting to like Mary. (Key word ALMOST, you never know with that woman. lol ) 
The episode ends with Mary and Francis having a tender moment, and him confiding in her telling her that what he said in the last episode wasn't true. (That he was disappointed in her for not giving him an heir) Since this show isn't really going by history, I hope that they do give them a child, or at least end the series with Mary having a happy ending, not the ending she got in real life.  But I can see with Lola's baby being in the picture, another baby being in the show might be to many. 
Now, about Lola. All I can say about this episode is I'm definitely on team Narla. =) Narcisse and Lola have a lot of chemistry and the sexual tension between them is played out beautifully between the two actors. Narcisse has a manly, sexy look to him. Where as Francis has a sexy, boyish look. (Don't get mad Frary fans, just stating my opinion, I also am all for Francis and Mary) But back to the sexiness in this episode.. both in the bow scene, and in bath scene with Lola and Narcisse you could feel the tension between them, it gives you butterflies. (Or at least it gave me butterflies...lol) I can't wait to see what happens next, and although I hate how Narcisse is doing Francis, I'm hoping that what Francis asks Lola to do, doesn't interfere with her and Narcisse's relationship that could be coming in the near future. (It's looking like there might be a relationship, if not, why exploit it?) Preview for next episode is posted below. Thanks for checking out my blog, I'll be back with another post here soon, about The Walking Dead. =) 

My Trip to Woodbury (Senoia, Georgia)

Earlier this month I went to visit Senoia, Georgia. I had to see where they filmed the Walking dead, in person. You probably have noticed by now I'm a huge Walking Dead fan. And yes you guessed it, Daryl is my favorite character, one of them. =)  I also like Michonne, Carol, Rick, and Beth (only cause I hope Daryl hooks up with either her or Carol lol) 
I visited Senoia, hoping I would see Norman Reedus or any of the actors randomly walking through town. But of course I visited on a weekend when they were off, and not filming. =( Oh well, moving on. 
We arrived pretty early, and decided to walk through the town, and see if we seen anything familiar from the show. 

 Of course one whole block of downtown Senoia is where they filmed Woodbury. =) Obviously.

 Such a nice place, small shops, I can see actors walking around this town feeling quite relaxed despite the tourists, like myself. lol

Noticed this on the sidewalk, every other TV show/movie filmed here had its own brick.

Finally The Woodbury Shoppe opened. We spoke with the owner/manager before she opened. She was very nice, and gave us some info about where they have filmed at. I kinda went a tad bit crazy and bought several things from the shoppe. (yea, I'm not telling exactly how much I spent. lol) 

All this, plus a Woodbury shirt, and an Ass Kicker onesie for my niece. =)

The Woodbury Shoppe was such an awesome place, not only did they have souvenirs for the obsessed fan, but they had tons of stuff in the basement. Here's just some of it. =)

My kids trying to keep those doors shut.. or trying to open them.. who knows. lol 

I loved this display. Would've liked to see the real Daryl though. ;)

Don't think I'll be going in this cell... lol

The Governer's heads, and Penny's cage!! 

You could can visit the prison at the Shoppe also. =)

 All over the walls was autographs  

After we left the Woodbury Shoppe, we drive around the town to find more filming locations, thanks to my handy little book "Locations-Locations of TWD Seasons 1-4" we found a few that were in Senoia. 

This is  set of Season 5, where they are filming right now.  Looks like a burnt church, I was told they built it to be burnt. 

Trailers where they are filming.

Sign on the road that takes you to the set.

The wall surrounding where they are filming. Word is, it might be there for 2-3 more years...

These tracks were right at the end of town. The track isn't used anymore, so it's where they filmed a lot of the track scenes. 

More tracks.

Seen this truck across the road from where the set is, though I'd take a picture. =)

They filmed the prison here, built a whole set that looked just like a real prison. Also in the woods around it, they filmed the governor throwing bodies in a lake off a dock. 

I believe this is Milton's Lab/ Governors Military head quarters

This is where Merle has his last drink before he goes to the stand off with the Governor and becomes a walker.

The Claimed House, Carl and Rick hide out here and later Michonne shows up. Then Rick gets a surprise visit from a Claimed gang.

This house wasn't filmed much at all on the outside, but a lot on the inside. I spoke with the owner, and he told me that they filmed the scenes where Michonne and Carl walk into a house and find bodies laying in beds, as well as the weird picture of a lady with sunflowers. 

This is the pudding house, while in the Claimed house, Carl leaves on his own, going inside this house, finding a can of pudding, setting on the roof, and eating it. 

This is the church that was in Season 2, called Sophia's Church. The group goes searching for Sophia, as they run through the graveyard, Daryl enters the church asking, "JC if he is taking any requests."

Overall my trip to see Woodbury was pretty awesome. I highly recommend going if you're a true Walking Dead Fan. And if you go, take the tour, it's long, and like $20 a person, but I wish I would've taken it. If I ever go again, just me and my husband, I definitely would. And if you're lucky and go when they're filming you might run into the actors just walking around town or setting having coffee at the local coffee shop. =) (BTW, 2-3 days before we went Norman Reedus was having coffee outside the coffee shop. Just my luck.. lol )

Check out the Woodbury Shoppe's facebook page for their info, and they also post pictures of their customers and any actor who decides to visit! =)

The Walking Dead so far!

Well we are 3 episodes in on the newest season of The Walking Dead. A lot has already happened. Spoilers are ahead if you haven't seen any of the show.
One thing that happened really quickly is that they were out of terminus in the first episode, thanks to Carol. Carol proved to be a major bad ass in that first episode. Of course she already was pretty tough because she did things I don't see anyone else being able to do. Example killing Lizzie, Rick the way he is now, would've been able to do it, but before, when he was the farmer, not so much.
Carol starts a big riot with an explosion, which let all the walkers into Terminus. Pulling a trick from way back she covers herself in yucky walker guts, and walks with them infiltrating Terminus and shooting a bunch of people including Mary (the cook, Gareth's mom).
While all that is going on, it gives Rick, Glenn, and Daryl the opportunity to escape before being drained. They shoot a few Terminus people and release their people from train car A.
Tyrese has Judith, and beats the crap out of some Terminus dude that threatens to kill Judith. (Carol and Tyrese tied him up, not very good obviously, he confirmed what Carol thought about the group being in trouble. Which leads to her going into Terminus with the walkers.)
The end of the first episode is pretty awesome, it shows every reuniting, Tyrese reuniting with Sasha, and Rick/Carl reuniting with Judith. The first episode was the best season premiere ever in my opinion. Also at the end Morgan shows up, and it looks like he's following the group, tracking them.. something like that.
Episode 2 starts with the group talking about a few things, Carol talking with Daryl, I'm guessing about things she's done, basically the group is kinda mending fences. They hear a man screaming, needing help and it turns out to be Gabriel who's a priest. He leads them to his church. Right off the bat you can tell that Gabriel is scared to death, he's a coward, seems harmless, but does have a secret. You see little clues here and there, about what it is. He also takes part of the group to a close food bank where they get supplies. But it's a close call because there is about 10 walkers where the food is, along with a ton of water which leaked into the basement from a hole in the roof. But things happen and Bob gets pulled under the water, and lives. Later that night though he walks outside the church for some reason, and starts crying. This leads you to believe he was bitten. He's knocked out by Gareth and some more Terminus people, and wakes up tied up, by a campfire where they are eating his leg.
Now episode 3, confirms that Bob was bitten, he tells the hunters who've kidnapped him and ate his leg. He tells them that he's "Tainted Meat". Of course this freaks them out, and they start spitting the meat out. They take him back to the church and leave him outside. While he was kidnapped in the previous episode I forgot to mention that Carol almost leaves, but Daryl stops her and then they take off in a car chasing a car that has people that took Beth in it.
The group (Rick's Group) find Bob outside the church, after confronting Gabriel forcing him to tell his secret that he locked himself in his church and let all of his "flock" die outside the church.
They think Gabriel had something to do with three of their group missing. But they realize he didn't.
And once they get Bob back they find out it was the hunters, (people of terminus) that took him. They set up a plan that involves a few tricks. They trap the hunters in the church and ambush them, killing them all. After that Abraham, Rosetta, Eugene, Glenn & Maggie (who were kinda forced but chose to in the end), and Tara all leave to go to Washington D.C. I think that's the worst thing they could've done, is separate the group again. They just got back together, and it sucks.
Michonne sets on the churches steps and talks with Gabriel for a while, until they hear a noise, and Gabriel runs in. Michonne walks towards the trees, only to see Daryl stepping out, looking a bit sad, and moving slow. She asks where Carol is, and he doesn't say anything, he looks behind him telling someone in the trees they can come out.
So my question now is who the hell was in the trees behind him. You would think that if it was a guy, he wouldn't be hiding behind Daryl, but Daryl has no crossbow, so does the person have Carol as a hostage, and has Daryl's crossbow?? Or has Carol gone undercover where Beth is? Is the person Morgan? He might not know that he's following Rick's group, and therefore is a bit skittish about things. What do you think? Is the person Beth? But we see in the previews that Beth is in a hospital type environment. But I'm thinking, like other episodes that is going to be a flashback, showing exactly what happened when she was taken, and what has happened since. But what do you think about the season so far? Will the group meet up again??

My Nadine West Outfit for September!

Hey! Above is my unbagging video of my first Nadine West outfit!
Nadine West is a subscription service that's sort of free! It's free as in, you sign up, they send you an outfit (shirt, some jewelry items), you try on everything, and what you don't like, you send back, what you do like, you pay for. And no worries you can pick out what kind of price range you're looking for when you take your style quiz. Everything I received was less than $20 each, and from the other YouTube videos I've seen, most of the shirts you could receive stay in the $13-$17 range.
The necklace as I mentioned in the description below my video on YouTube you can probably get at Kohls, because they carry the Sonoma brand. And who doesn't love Kohls?
But anyways here's the pic of what everything looked like all together, on me!

Pardon my hair, that's what it tends to look like when I don't straighten it. It likes to flip out, and under, and go all different directions. =) I put a cami under the tank I receive because I'm not the type to go around wearing a sheer top showing my bra. lol The size tank I received was a large, and it fit perfect. The jewelry went really well with the tank. I'm not use to wearing bigger earrings, so these I'll have to get use to, but they go along with my "boho" theme.  I highly recommend giving this company a try, cause what could it hurt? You can try them for free!

My September Ipsy bag!

Above is my September Ipsy unboxing video! Hope you enjoy it, cause I really enjoy everything I received. Speaking of things I received here's the list:
Be a Bombshell Smooth Criminal Powder: Retail price for full size, $12.00
Avon Big & Daring Mascara: Reg. price $9.00, on sale for $6.99
Cailyn Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss: Retail price $19.00
Pacifica Nail Polish: Retail Price $9.00
Mitchell & Peach Hand Cream- Retail Price $17.00 would be a few dollars more in US dollars.

Ok, first of all like I said in the video this is my first Ipsy bag. And I'm very happy with it. The only thing I might not use that much of is the hand cream. It didn't smell very unique at all, kinda reminded me of a medical hand cream. I was thinking that it would smell better. It did adsorb really fast, within seconds the lotion was gone. My hands do feel very smooth, but I think I'd rather buy a better smelling hand cream for the price of this one.
The smooth criminal powder was weird to put on. I tried a brush first, and it was going everywhere all in the air. And I was afraid to inhale it, cause all it is, is silica powder. So I ended up using my fingers to apply it.  It doesn't make my skin feel ashy, or anything, so I can see myself using this on top of my make-up.
The Pacifica nail polish I got was in the color red, red wine. Which is a very pretty fall color. Can't wait to get this on my toes. (I don't really paint my fingernails that often cause I get tired of the chipping and peeling.) It covers really well, you might need two coats, but I say you'll only need one.
The big and daring mascara was another thing I really loved. It picked up all my lashes perfectly, not a lot of clumping at all. I felt like my lashes looked beautiful. =)
My favorite thing in this bag was the Cailyn Lipgloss. It was so pigmented, there was no need to have lipstick under it. I love the way it looks and feels on my lips. And it wasn't sticky at all. =)

So do I recommend Ipsy? Yes I do. Some who have had Ipsy a while, might say otherwise, because they've gotten so many eye liners, or not enough make-up, etc. But if you're looking for a cheap way to get deluxe size samples of makeup to try each month, and you're wanting to expand your comfort zone, I'd go with Ipsy. Now if you're wanting full size products, there's other makeup subscriptions out there, such as Lip Factory and Boxy Charm. I have tried Lip Factory and I'm subscribed to it now. Boxy Charm I haven't tried, but I think the difference is that with Lip factory you create your beauty profile, and they select products that will go with your skin tone, and such, Boxy Charm I don't think has anything like that. Lip Factory is $22/mth and you get 5-7 full size makeup products, Boxy Charm is $21/mth and you get up to 5, I think.I will be posting my review of my first Lip Factory box also. =)

Julep Subscription box review

Well this is my first Julep subscription box, un-boxing. (Video above) 
I received my box yesterday, and un-boxed it today. Over-all I was happy with the box. The nail polish colors I received are Padma "Classic with a Twist", Janel "Bombshell", Stevie "Boho-Glam", and Julep Mighty Nail & Cuticle Serum. 
Padma is a satin, dark purple color, very thick. You'd probably only have to use one coat. Janel is another satin polish, but it's a bit sheer, so I'd say two coats of it. The Stevie, is a pewter color, and is also a bit sheer, so two coats would be needed. I haven't tried the serum yet, but I do plan on trying it, cause my cuticles are dry. And anything that can help my nails, I'm all for. =)
Now, is this box worth it? You know I love the colors, but I'm not wanting a nail polish subscription box. I'd like to build up my make -up not nail polish. They do have boxes with make-up included. But it's their brand. I want to try different brands. And nail polish just chips to much for me to pay for a subscription box for it. =/
So No, it's not for me. But if it's for you, check out their website. http://www.julep.com/ Use code FREECITY for your free box. You will have to pay for shipping and it will sign you up for a subscription. 
I did see a few YouTube videos showing this box for kids I'd like to get. It has different experiments included, that you and your kids can do. And since I already have a few subscription boxes for myself, I figure why not have something for them. 
I've posted my other subscription links in my description on my video. Check them out! Can't wait to get my other boxes/bags! 

Elf Beauty Bundle September

Above you'll find my unboxing video of my Elf Beauty Bundle. (It's pretty long, mostly cause of my introduction) I ordered this around the first of the month and received it September 9. After I placed my order within a few hours I was sent a shipping email. So they ship very fast. This is because everyone gets the same things in their bag. The bags ship out every 8 weeks. When I ordered mine it was towards the end of the 8 week cycle, so I received what everyone received in August. I was kind of disappointed with that, and hoped I'd get something different.
But I didn't. =) So here's a list of stuff I received, and how much it cost.

Baked Eye shadow palette "Texas" $10
Glitter Eye shadow primer $2
Natural Lash Kit $1
Moisturizing Lip Stick "Party in the Buff" $3
Contouring Blush and Bronzing Cream "St. Lucia" $3
Mineral Booster "Sheer" $8
Mineral infused Face Primer "Clear" $6
3 in 1 Base, Top & Strengthener $2
Kabuki Face Brush $6
Total amount for this bundle is $41. I paid $27.99

Out of all these products, I'll probably use the blush/bronzing cream, the 3 in 1 polish, face primer, kabuki brush, and the lipstick the most. So I've put aside the mineral booster, glitter eye shadow primer and the lashes for a possible give away in the future. Yes I opened the Booster powder but just to sample the powder, and then I sealed it back up. The other two things have never been opened. So later on after I receive a few more bags, together with other stuff I might not want, I think this will make a good give away.
The stuff was packaged well, except for a couple things which I show in the video. The blush/bronzing duo and the eye shadow palette was packaged very nicely. It's very smooth and sleek looking. Doesn't look cheap at all. Same goes for the face primer.

So was this worth it? Yes and No, for me. If you're ok with getting the same thing everyone else that subscribes gets, and paying $27.99 every 8 weeks, not knowing if you're gonna get a color that's for your skin tone.. then Go for it! For me this is a no. I'm also subscribed to Ipsy, Lip Monthly, and Lip Factory, 2 out of those three allow you to take a quiz asking what your hair color is, skin tone, etc. Elf doesn't offer this, so you might get colors that don't work with your skin tone. So I'd rather stick with the companies that go somewhat by my looks, and what I like. Videos coming soon of those. (As soon as I get them! lol)

True Blood Series Finale!! YAY! or WTF just happened?

Ok, here it is,  my review on The last season of True Blood. Including the finale. 
Personally, the season wasn't all that bad. (In my opinion) 
I loved that not both Eric and Bill die. Pam didn't die. I got over the fact that Tara and Alcide died very quickly. 
I still believe Tara should have lived though. The way they ended her story line with her haunting her mother, just over the fact that she should have killed her crazy father when she had the chance. That was ridiculous. I liked that we got the chance to say goodbye to Tara, but didn't like the way it happened. Alcide, they killed him off to make room for this quickie sex scene with Bill. (Blah) If they had that planned all along why even put him with Sookie? There was so much more they could have done with his character. (If you've read the books you know what I'm talking about.) Of course like I've said before there's a lot they could have used from the books. Maybe then the story lines would not have been so out of control. 
I'm glad they let every character have some what of a ending. Lafayette met a great guy, Jason finally met his match, Arlene, even though she went through a tragedy, found some happiness. (The part where she sees the spirit of Terry was so awesome, glad they included him this season.)  Even Eric and Pam had a happy ending. Sara Newlin, not so much. =) 
I try not to give you to much of the details, as this is a review, not a play by play of everything. =) But there is some spoilers I guess. lol 

Now on to Bill, where I'm going to use some of what I read in an Article by TV Fanatic, titled "True Blood Finale: An Insulting, Illogical Slap in the Face". I'll try to link it at the end of my blog post. Ok the main thing this article talks about is how Bill and Sookie didn't end up together, that it was sexist Sookie didn't get to choose her own path, Bill chose it for her, and why is he so for Jessica and Hoyt and not him and Sookie? 
This is what I think.
I knew Bill, as soon as he got infected with Hep V, was going to die. He wanted to. No matter how much Sookie "thinks" she loves him, nothings going to change the fact that, Bill dying, is his choice. He did ask Sookie to give up a part of herself to kill him, which was kinda rude, but he was trying to protect her. Without her Fae powers no Vampire would be interested in her. Sookie chose her own path, she wanted to keep her Fae powers. Now on to the thing about Bill not wanting them to be together. I don't think that's true, I think he did. But like he said to Eric, Sookie is Fae (Hoyt is human), Vampires are drawn to her. He basically said it's the same with her, her being light, drawn to their darkness. So since they're already drawn to each other, magically, how can it be real, true love?  The kind that Bill had in his human life, the kind Jessica and Hoyt have. He wanted her to have that. He had already experienced it. He wanted to die to be with his wife and children.  He wanted her to have that kind of love. And without a doubt know that it was True Love. How would they know if it was real or just magical if they were together? That is what I got from it all. Sookie might have thought she knew what she wanted, but running to Bill last minute right when she finds out he's got Hep V, only to... bang him? Idk, doesn't sound right to me. 
The ending scene (years later) showed Sookie pregnant, and she hugged her man. Human or something else? (You can't say he was human) We don't know if he was human, werewolf, or shape-shifter, or something else were, because they said nothing about him!! That is what I didn't like. What they should've done, is at least let us hear a name. Quinn, from the books would've been perfect. Even though, like idiots, they didn't have him in the show, having him end up with her would've been something. (For those of you who don't know, Quinn is a were-tiger in the books, and does have a relationship with Sookie)
The show wasn't all about one couple, neither was the books.
The books ended with Sookie in a relationship, wasn't a serious thing yet, wasn't a stranger, or vampire, but we knew the character. =) 
The series started out great, I was obsessed with this show for quite a while. There was some things I didn't like in certain seasons (the changing of Merlottes is one) but this last season, gave some closure in a way. I read somewhere that HBO ended the show because of the story lines not the ratings. And I believe that. Like I said before the story lines went out of control. There was all kinds of wacky, crazy stuff going on. I still watched it. =) Why they didn't use more from the books, I have no idea. Look at Game of Thrones, they go exactly by the books, only maybe the timeline might be different. And their show is awesome!! 
But everyone has their own opinion, some might love the show, no matter what story line they went with, some might not have liked the show at all. 
I did like the show, I'm gonna miss it on my Summer Sundays. =) 
You can follow me on Twitter @Greeneyes811, I tweet about shows that I watch a lot more than I blog about them. 
I'm counting the days till the new seasons of Vampire Diaries and The Originals. And of course The Walking Dead! =)
