The Vampire Diaries Season Four

23 Episodes
Supernatural Romance (yep, the Romance flipped its switch back on)
Aired: 2012 TheCW

Elena is transitioning into a vampire because she died with Damon's blood in her. Her feelings and personality are magnified, but will her love be stronger toward Stefan or will Damon finally get the girl? 



Ah ~ Elena isn't a protective, warm-hearted Bella Swan anymore! She has about half her heart and gained a quarter of a brain... she's scheming a death mat for Katherine and regains her humanity at the sight of one senior boy. 

The producers had lots of ideas, yet I was still lost a bit. It feels like the story's branching out a lot of its own twigs. For example, as a Klaroline fan,


  I DIED AT THIS:: 
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, who's that? You wonder. It's Hayley, a werewolf who wants to locate her family. Heh, so.... if Klaus is in a room with a flirtatious eyebrow lady, he'd force a 20-second sex scene upon them. 
It's not even "hot," YouTube!
Why does Klaus feel like he needs to be loose with women? Sure, Hayley seems to have had an interest with the only other housemate, but is that worth 20 seconds of a possible child?? 
Uggg, I'm scarred for the week! ###############!!


Moving on-- Elena is a high school vampire. She wouldn't be skipping senior year *and* graduation, right? Thanks to the Salvatores, she's not. The brothers give this newbie vamp two options: animal blood (remember Stefan on squirrels??) OR "straight from the vein." I think I like Elena's lustful face :: no one's ever looked so hungry in class. 

Elena faces her own problems... we've all been waiting and now, YES! She develops a new her and you wouldn't miss the old Elena even once. 
But at least that version is deep down in her- deep down, there's someone we once were. 
I'll keep that in mind. 


Last note:: anybody remember Dean, the counselor, from PLL? His character on The Vampire Diaries and The Originals is Kol, an Original vampire. Little lad gamer is featured in four or five eps . 
Little gamer... how cute. 
I don't know if I am accepting that this happened to him:: 
(It's a //tiny// spoiler)

I'm crying now...
I am listening to Drake at the moment. 

A few new cast members:: Pastor Young (temp), April Young, Connor, Vaughn, Hayley, Kim (temp), Atticus Shane, and an Immortal,
Just to name a list

Does Elena whine? Thrice, approximately. 
Are some Originals reborn? I guess. Rebekah, Klaus, Kol, and Elijah are seen. 
Do one of the Salvatores leave town? Is it worth watching all the episodes? 

PWS !! (Preferred Watching Sequence)
1, 2, 4, 5, 7-9, 11, 12, 14-16, 18, 20-End

Grade: 8/10

The Vampire Diaries Season Three -- Goodness Gracious, Girl!

22 Episodes  (Preferred Watching Sequence: 14 episodes) 
Supernatural , Romance
Aired: 2011 TheCW

Where did Season Two leave us? Ah, yes...

Jeremy sees his dead exes and Klaus wants his dead Original family back. HE WANTS HIS COFFINS BACK ~ With the development of popular TVD fandom relationships, witches are sought out and Alaric has a vampire-hunter alter-ego that may take over him. 





Well, I'm going to not that this was a brainpoker. Elena is either becoming more lost in her love life (Damon or Stefan? I don't care! I never did!) or she's just bossing around people because she'll never save herself- helpless damsel. Tsk, tsk. 
There were too many episodes that's extra thread ~ it's nice that it's there, but it's not needed: 

>>>>Preferred Watching Sequence:<<<< 
1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 11-15, 18-20, 22



The Originals are in town and now it's hunting time ~~ 
It's not a teary season (only cried once! Episode 11: First **Klaroline** interaction)
All the men are manned up and know what's going on while the 
new-year high school seniors are celebrating 18th birthdays and organizing dances (like, 3.)


The addiction level is, erm, invisible. I don't even feel attached to the show ~ now I question why I watch it. Obviously, it's not for Elena's sake and Nina Dobrev is right- Katherine was way more fun than Elena. Already missing that foxy Petrova -- where is she now? 

As for Elena, good luck with this:


As Alison DiLaurentis quotes, "It is immortality, my darling." Thanks to the Season Finale, I was born to always be intrigued by Season Three of any show. In what direction will Elena's love life grow? Are we gonna have more people resurrected.... again??

Enough questions, let's get to my favorite add-on:: More. NEW. Characters.



The Originals family and more peeps, but particularly....
Don't you mean....
MerAdith
?!
Torrey DeVitto (Melissa Hastings) from Pretty Little Liars!!!!!! I hope to see her around the proceeding seasons.

Yay to new people and blooming relationships. Alert: Klaroline cracks the egg, Forwood are simply adorable, and Delena strikes a pose.


Klaus has such a ridiculous weakness that I scoff that he's the antagonist- a bad one at heart , sadly. I wanted to see more blood, but I guess a cruciferous torture is decent.

The story will drag if you watch all the episodes, not that it is perfectly normal to watch them all. However, the "unimportant episodes" are a waste of time and gives you one present: a small fact, detail, reawakening, etc.

Grade: 7.8 -8 /10 
Elena just got stupider... from falling in love with vampires.

"Not everyone has to be saved." - Stefan to Elena about responsibilities

The Vampire Diaries Season Two

22 Episodes
Supernatural  romance 

Katherine Petrova enters the scene , wanting a moonstone while on the run from an Original, powerful hybrid , Klaus, who has plans for breaking the Curse of the Sun and Moon. 

Elena (us, too!)  finally meets Katherine . Damon cares for Elena .
 New vampires - friends!  More werewolves - trouble's brewing in town.

    Ohmigod, I binge-watched the show... All in a day! (Aka TOday) Guilty for binge-watching this show again. No one in the house cares anymore because for three consecutive nights , after a 20-minute shower, I'm snuggled on the edge of my bed, watching this.. TILL 1 AM! (ALSO KNOWN AS... NOW!) My folks snoozed at synchronized times for the past nights. Why?!


In this Season, there's a lot of bargaining - people and objects. But it's not fangtastic if there's not blood, right? Episode 8 is the goriest episode which spotlights Elijah Mikaelson, an Original with a nice 'do. (Said Damon)

Elena is aware of the existence of supernaturals in little Mystic Falls . She's unraveling some surprising secrets about her birth and...
Just like the book's blonde It girl, SHE'S A TOUGH NUT TO DAMON ! I already have a feeling that Second Lead syndrome will truely be testing Elena's love . Stefan hasn't changed much, but he may turn off his humanity for the next season after the arrival of the Original brothers, Elijah and Klaus, who are older , British, wittier, and so much more powerful.

The story's focused on bargains and family secrets . There's just kills and newly turned vamps (or wolves). The Originals .. can't wait to watch the spin-off XD

THE Finale honors the death(s) of a few loved ones. But, it's the background narration that has taught me that death is unpredictable for loved ones. John Gilbert narrates - the content is heart-wrenching, if you've got a family or very supportive friends and folks. 


Grade:: 7.4 /10
Lacks tense atmospheres --

1-7 , (8 for the blood), 9-11, 13, 17- End

Breaking Bad Season One

7 Episodes 
Genre: Realism


Walter White , a high school chemistry teacher, learns that he has a critical case of terminal cancer. He becomes inspired by the wealth that the drug industry reels in, so he produces the world's purest crystal methamphetamine with a business partner,  a high school dropout, Jesse Pinkman. 




I could've written this a month ago because at the time, I really couldn't find words to describe just this season. Well, now I do. Let's just get it out there ~~

Firstly, let me warn you this ::::::::::

IT. IS. FLOWING. AT. MARATHON. PACE

 You could finish this season in six hours. Is that what AMC is doing with most of its series? I think The Walking Dead's first season had 7 eps, too.. maybe it's for budget management or audience preference research. 

So.. how'd this go? I admire some scenes - the angles or the setup. The meth manufacturing is cool and , for safety reasons and possibly humanity, the producers have faked a recipe. Neat-o. 
  Walter White has a dysfunctional family and his own conflict:: keeping his drug business away from his disabled son and (NOM) pesky , yet truthful wife. I love how he has problems - it makes him a symbol of hope and strength. 

But this old man ends up etching a new side of himself. He's used science to toxicate , but then he's forcing himself to abuse a dealer in a basement, et cetera. 

I enjoyed the secrecy. Jesse's heavy-hearted "Bey-otch!" voice message. Walter White and his lectures about plastic and acid (oh yes, Jesse. Never put acid in a tub . Tsk, tsk) 


I wasn't really surprised during  the Finale -  rather, I felt null.. insolent .
Buildup is fairly slow, but you will notice the personality shifts.

Grade: 7.6/ 10 
Good for Fridays or Weekends 
Caution: You may have a dry nose for the week -- sadly, it feels so real ...

The Vampire Diaries !! Season One


It's finally off my watchlist!! The Vampire Diaries was an astounding dark story for the week ~ 

So you haven't seen it? Start planning and make this one of the teen dramas you should watch.

22 Episodes 
Supernatural  Romance with a Town's Historical Backdrop

Elena Gilbert's relationship with new boy, Stefan Salvatore, may be more than fate.... rather, a past that involves his past love who looks just like her and the small town of Mystic Falls is out to eradicate Them. 

Vampires are back!! It's stolen some Twilight franchise ideas, but the suspense is up to height with Grimm (I mean, Grimm has some tense relations) .  The series' first season began with an ickishly interesting high school girl and suddenly BABAM! Episode 7 or 10, the climax has definitely upped ratings and turned the tables!

Katherine Pierce and Elena Gilbert - lookalikes, possibly ancestral relatives. Ohhh no. Elena may not have matured much as a person, but she's holding onto hope and love all the time. And she hasn't been sacrificed yet!! (As in a person-for-person exchange)

I loved the characters, but being in a small town that brings in a lot of strangers for Founder's Day, they all have a connection to each other. The mayor takes action against the ancient returnees , even though -!!- he is of a supernatural genity himself ..... Stefan Salvatore (so bothered by that last name) is a bore, but I'm laughing at his brother's script. Damon Salvatore, I'd happily offer myself to you!!


[Damon seems to look older in some episodes and suddenly regains his youth... Well, that's just me sayin' that]


The episodes have everyday conversation (barely any vocab words, guys) , yet because of the deaths every other episode, you can't help but cry for lost characters ((or in the worst case, the pasts)). I cried for three episodes straight!!


The Finale adds a couple of questions about Mystic Falls and its rich, historic past.

Last note: the books. It was the first book that I was just.. addicted to. (Finished The Awakening and The Struggle in an hour and a half!) It lacks vocabulary and presents the diaries and viewpoints of blond, popular Elena and Stefan. Elena's a bitch and Stefan is incognito as a person. Everyone hates Damon .. sob sob!
 **The TV series is preferred by me over the books.


Grade: 7.8- 8.3 /10 
It's an Addicting Season :: I rewatched the Finale thrice and do not, I repeat, DO NOT look up any characters ... you will be ruined by spoilers!! Don't spoil this show -- it piles up so many feelings , emptiness, and deaths

Bakemonogatari

12 Episodes , plus 3 OVAS

An ex-vampire high school boy collides with girls of fascinating issues, like being weightless or not being able to find her way home.

Friends (F·R·I·E·N·D·S) Season One

24 Episodes ("The One With..." - distinct, isn't it?)
~29 minutes per episode
Comedy Realism 
Aired: 1994 NBC
Starring: Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Matt Le Blanc, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox



I remember that I hyperwatched fanvideos of Jack Frost , from Rise of the Guardians, and the Big Four (apparently now, the Big Five 'cuz of Elsa and Co). I laughed at the voice cracks from Friends. I watched many scenes, most from the middle of the 10 seasons. Always spazzing at Ross' bagpipe performance. 

Anywho, where it all began.


Rachel Greene (Aniston runs from the altar and seeks out Monica Geller, the only high school mate that she knows living in New York. The six men and women face breakups and new relationships , all while having times in their lives as adults. 

Let's meet the friends!
Rachel (Aniston): She's been raised as a "spoiled princess" and , under the advice of her new girlfriends, takes on the challenge of living independently  .... She becomes a waitress at Central Perk, the coffee shop that the Friends dine at.
 Phoebe Buffet (Kudrow): A bubbly, hippie masseuse and guitarist. Usually the last-informed person of news. (She's my favorite gal of the group)
  Monica (Cox): She has had many relationships with men in her life, but hasn't found "the one." She's a chef .

  Ross (Schwimmer):  Monica's older brother . He learns that his ex-wife is pregnant with his child, and has a life partner. He has had a crush on Rachel since high school.
  Chandler Bing (Perry): The go- to guy for your love life, this man is taken up by money and ... seems to have his own life away from his friends. 
  Joey Tribbiani (Le Blanc): A theater actor who seems to be the comedian of the group. 
It's a memorabilia of America . I love watching reruns at 9 PM. It's got a light atmosphere and the jokes are usually smuggled into the episodes. Honestly, it's easy to understand . The cast will be forever in our hearts.
  
  Joey doesn't start out with a good 'do and his character doesn't have importance nor development, until about seven eps later. Late bloomer? Sure. I enjoyed most of the episodes. 

Best Watching Experience :
1-4, 7,10, 12, 13, 15-24


The Monica.
Uh-uh. Sorry, it's just those bangs..
    It's a slick show for the weekend . Just lay in bed or on the couch and marathon it. It's even better on TV.

Grade: : 7. 5 / 10 


The Flash is on tonight at 8/7 C on the CW!

Orphan Black Season Two

10 Episodes
Science Fiction 
--Best Watching Experience: start from Episode 3 

So, where did Season One leave us? Ah, Aynsley's death ; Kira and Mrs. S are gone; Helena is shot by Sarah. More questions arise after this season's finale. 

New character.
All over the place.
WHYYYY
The first two episodes that begins from Sarah Manning crying out for Kira, who has been kidnapped somewhere. She's been kidnapped like, four times, and it's odd that only a small group know that Kira is kidnapped .. for a good reason or safety? Mrs. S seems to be more forceful when it comes to questioning . Paul's sexually good and tempted -- a too-easygoing guy?  In the halfway point, a lot of the show 's early characters come back into the Clones' lives and we see a check of new religious farmer people, cops, and... Kira's dad, whom all the Clones say is "hot." I find him better-Looking than that Hook guy in Once Upon A Time Season Two.

Too good for a pic? He's a sweet guy , who does computer commands and stuff! !

The series has killed about four people and someone's reborn (of course, in case you never hoped that she'd ever be alive). Helena likes food... she's expanding her food range, guys! And , as shown with Kira from Season One, she's gvood vith chilvren. It's a hell of a fact when she's in a farm laboratory that tries to make more clones. "To multiply is divine."


Everybody , except Cosima and Delphine, kiss. Paul became a slave for Rachel Duncan , but how? Rachel Duncan cries .  Donny and Alison have killed someone by their own hand - who and were they figured out? The season had a touching finale ;;  I WANT SEASON THREE NOW!!! Two more months, peeps !

I got lost in the first two episodes. At least I feel like I was.

Grade: 8.3/10 
Destruction of DYAD, yet?? I think we're all hoping.

Nobunaga Concerto and I BAKED A CAKE

Hello , you miss me already.

Lately...
  I've been skimping on kdramas!  I know, what a crime.
  I'm only watching Orphan Black Season Two and Pretty Little Liars Season Five.
  I'm struggling to start a series or season (it's been a month and I haven't seen season two of Breaking Bad or Once Upon A Time)
  I GOT ME SOME COOKING DONE!

The recipe is Bea Vo's Apple Bourbon Pecan Cake from her pastry bakebook, Tea With Bea. I had to substitute the bourbon for 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract ,dried cranberries instead of pecans (don't, okay?), and Gala apples instead of Granny Smith. It has a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, holiday pie combination, so be aware.    




Check out the book - the recipes  pretty simple (if you have a well-stocked baking corner) I was able to pull this off without a mixer...

Okay, you can keep reading or look at that book! 


Nobunaga Concerto
10 Episodes
Historical 

Saburo falls off a fence and somehow ends up in Japan's Warring States era. He takes the place and responsibility as Oda Nobunaga, who conquered (and or united) japan. 

I am currently watching the drama that's starring Shun Oguri (does he look better as a 30something playing a high school boy?) Anyway, I haven't seen the film nor have I read the manga that's ongoing. 
From Nobunaga Concerto jdrama

This Anime bored me. I had high hopes of a tense battlefield, a funny average kid, and a pretty realistic ending. Ha, no. Didn't get that at all.

I felt that the characters are shallow, except the elders and traitors in the Oda clan. The show may have been handsomely narrated by Shun Oguri himself, but the story isn't handsomely done.
All I can praise is the art and Young, the (black) baseball player from modern times. 
The eyes and Oda's wife are quite like those Asian drawings on paper fans. Just beautiful.

Look at those rain drops.
I did a fruit drawing of grapes with a few falling drops. It was a less-than-decent sketch.
Grade: 5.7 -6/10
I finished it, but I couldn't stay interested for the majority of the duration...



Above: Half and Half Pencil "Charcoal" Sketch original

This week, I am changing the reviews for 20s and Hope For Dating. Other shows that will have revised reviews are:
-My Love From the Star
-Secret Garden
-07-Ghost


These shows contain uncited pictures and lack a "critic"" review. These revisions are expecting to place better understanding of my opinions and may or may not persuade you to watch the show. 
Until the next,
K. H. L.

GIRLS Season One

10 Episodes
Realistic Comedy
Starring Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, Adam Driver, .. 
Guest Starring: Andrew Rannells

Four twenty-something friends show the happenings in life from breakups to hitting-on-ya men to losing your virginity. 

Four women try to find who they are and the meaning of life.



I'm anticipating the next season, so I had to write this ASAP ! I like, just want to watch all the current seasons of this show in a couple hours. Of course, I've promised myself that every show or season that I have finished watching, gets a review . This is GIRLS: Season One .. playing . Now ...

  First of all, each episode is 30 minutes long. So, they're short and its a show that doesn't really have a story, a mystery, and doesn't need a second chance. You can give up on the show, but there'd be little reasoning in that!
  Four young women in... New York. Of all the places, it's better than a small town (ahem, PLL) , yet seems like it'll be like Gossip Girl (First season's so slow for me -- Lively, I'm recruiting a replacement!)

Meet the GIRLS: 
Hannah is a recent college grad whose professor -occupation  parents have decided to stop financially supporting her. She has an admirable writing style that hasn't been published to kickstart a possible carriere. She is sexually active with her doofus, goofy boyfriend.
  Marnie is Hannah's apartment roommate and has a relationship that she wants to keep, but can't satisfy her affectionate rocker boyfriend.


  Jessa is a Bohemian europeánne living in New York (like the others) with her American cousin , Shoshanna. A woman of an unpredictable spirit , she's the one all people want , as a lover. Caution: she may be slightly attracted to you at first sight. --Sexually tempted X)
  Shoshanna is Jessa's sunshiney American cousin who is a fan of the Sex and the City  franchise. She leads a life that new 20s adults face, as she is a virgin; yet, she enjoys life. 


It's raw, feminine light comedy . It's seemingly like a documentary, but not like The Office , with the individual interviews and stuff. I'm not in my 20s yet, but the show has uplifted my prediction about that life. Some of the girls are grads, but the college life isn't shown.. only parties and boyfriends from  past are "college mentions." 
  The girls have their own styles and personalities, as shown by the wardrobe and apartment interior design. On the other hand, these girls are sex-obsessed ; one of the reasons why this show seems to branch off Gossip Girl , just sayin'. There's always an all-over kiss in every friggin ep. Is the show being a little biased? Are these girls horny or just forced into these acts because of a scenario like "He groped me- what else was I supposed to do?!" 
  Speaking of biases, many critic reviews felt that the show is racially limited. The cast is all-white, there's only one Asian that actually says a line, party chicks are either Caribbean tans or white... WHERE ALL MY AZNS AT?? Maybe it's a critical ravine that brings down some points for HBO's show that is like Friends for women. 


Cautions and Warnings: 

The show contains some moments of (mild) nudity and mild cursing. (The only word they use is "fucking this and that!") Sigh. What's the use of cursing if you only scream one bad word in aggravation?

Grade:: 7.8/10 
It's a Shortie, and this show doesn't really need a second chance
 It's the characters that need a second chance in their lives. 

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (Hana Kimi)

Genres: Comedy, Sports, Romance
Starring: Maki Horikita, Shun Oguri, Toma Ikuta  
12 Episodes
2007 FujiTV


Ashiya Mizuki flies from America to Osaka Gakuen to make her idolized star high-jumper jump again. But, Osaka Gakuen it's an all-boys school! Incognito as a male, Mizuki is an in an unbeknownst love triangle.


So, I've seen the Korean adaptation, To The Beautiful You, and I've read the manga, a gem that lacked its ending, but the characters brought in more surprises. There are five adaptations: Taiwanese, 2007 Japanese, 2011 Japanese remake, Thai?, and the Korean drama. Today, I have finished the 2007 Japanese drama of 2007.

  The adaptation has won numerous (acting) awards.Honestly, I can't agree with the judging entirely because : First of all, it's a jdrama with some romance. The perfection of no interruptions splits the line between Asian and American dramas, in my opinion. The lack of arguing makes the Asian dramas either more tense and questions further development of the story or pushes the show as a gentle cast of characters. And secondly, is it just me or Japanese main female leads are usually.. hesitant ? In Hana Yori Dango, Tsukushi stutters when she talks to Rui (Second Male Lead!) because of her supposedly developing feelings for him - in the end, these feelings just didn't add up. :'( Maybe I should have said that characters in Romances are frequently hesitant. Better check with kdramas among others.

  Let me tell you, this version focuses mostly on comedy and sports. I know, right? It's a girl who idolizes a guy! (I'd rather say, "a person") Yes, but unlike Jae-In (To The Beautiful You), Mizuki actually motivates her idol often, and Jae-In , well, as rumours put it, has turned straight guys gay or homo.. You want more laughs? The 2007 Japanese Hana Kimi is recommended.
It's Mr. Wonka's hair!!

  And another thing that makes this hands-up better? There. Are. Kissing. Males. Multiply those kisses by a quantity of around six. Are these accidental? Or for reals? If you're anticipating a Mizuki x Sano kissu, there's only one and that's in the finale! Sob. Sano, I thought you were better than this!!
Mizuki's character isn't as clueless as shown in the manga. She forgets that she's a girl at times, but who can when she's surrounded by ikemens?? What I loved was that her identity was seen, or known, by four people, whereas in To The Beautiful You, the boys found out about her disguise after she goes unconscious.
**Sorry for the couple of comparisons between the 2007 jdrama and the 2012 kdrama. 
Grade: 8-8.3 /10 
Recommended and Loved by many

Psycho-Pass

22 Episodes
Sci-fi 'Thriller' - Psychological


Akane Tsunemori is going to be an Inspector in the Public Safety Bureau! But, she holds feelings against the Sibyl System , which runs Japan, one of the most high-technological places in the world! A criminal also has similar feelings, but takes action to represent his case. Will Akane manage [as a weakling] in the police force? 

I would like to start off with the main character, Akane. She's a naïve and afraid "cutie." It's great that she got a 700 on a test , but choosing to fulfill a career on the police squad, and failing to handle an electronic gun , really disappoints me. I suspected that she was to have a dramatic character change. Well, I didn't care 'bout that because I ended up hating her for the whole series. I could spoil and rant, but then I'd be a little brat of a cockatoo ..

The police procedures are usually Kougami's daring , yet correct ideas. Kougami works under Akane, but desires to avenge a death and kill the murderer. He's a man of his own will - he looks like 28 , thankfully. Nice job, artists. 

It's thanks to Akane , who takes in shame just for Paralyzing him. Girl, your Dominator gun thingie was not on Lethal Eliminator mode! Hell, it's because of ridding a life that made a criminal be certain that he wouldn't be killed by her shaking hands! 



Enough of Akane and her hands, right? I'm sorry that this is seemingly mostly negative. I just found this series lacking logic, pace, and suspense. So maybe besides the characters, it was the story I couldn't enjoy. 

Umm... it's shocking that suicide never happened in such a chaotic world under a world. But the police seem to be strongly defensive, yet some are weaklings themselves! 

And, the Chief ... and the Sibyl System.
 All run its own secrets. 

Gah.. don't wanna say more. 

These are all my opinions, yet I'm not enjoying this puny discussion as the Anime bored me just as much every afternoon. 
Grade:: 5.6/10 
Start at Episode 5: Return of the Psychotic Prince. The first four eps were just, terribly introductory.
