TVD: Is Damon Back?

   Damon & Stefan are taking their Devil Show on the road! Before they went Damon received a gift from Caroline: Elena's necklace. The minute Damon saw that necklace it sparked memories of his one true love prompting him to kill Sibyl. Does that mean Damon is... back?


Sibyl's like that mosquito you want to swat.

     It's hard to say. You can definitely say that Damon is in possession of his free will again. However, Damon still believes in hell which is still a problem. He's no longer under Sibyl's influence and he's burned so many bridges Damon has nothing holding him back from his new mission. Say he does his job for Cade the Devil for 60-70 years, Bonnie dies then Elena wakes up. What's Damon going to do? Just... leave her hanging after waiting for so long?


You were supposed to carve the turkey, Damon, not the
dinner guests.

     Damon has been brain washed to believe in hell and given all of the horrible things he's done it's a definite yes that he's got a one way ticket to eternal damnation for all of his sins. Before his plan was to just wait for Elena to wake up then consume her blood to cure his vampirism so they can live happily ever after. Yet since Damon believes he's going to hell he may not want a fragile mortal life. Cade is giving Damon a "Stay Out of Hell Free" Card. Fear seems to outweigh true love in this scenario but that doesn't mean there's no hope for Damon and Elena.

Damon, stop whispering evil thoughts to Stefan to
make him go Dark Side!

      So I wouldn't say Damon is entirely back. Nina Dobrev is supposed to come back this final season. My theory is that something happens to Bonnie that wakes Elena up. Hopefully Bonnie becomes a vampire which is a loophole technically so she can still be with Enzo. If seeing a necklace his great love wore is enough to wake Damon up then maybe seeing her in the flesh will help shake Cade's hold over Damon. At least I'm hoping.

The Flash: Will Cisco Ever Forgive Barry?


Cisco & Barry's friendship is a corner stone


      Barry has royally messed up. When he created Flash Point then changed the timeline he changed quite a few things: Martin Stein has a daughter, Diggle has a son instead of a daughter, Caitlyn has powers, and Cisco's brother Dante is dead. Cisco and Barry had just gotten back on good terms but then evil Caitlyn let it slip that Dante was alive in his original timeline until he changed things. 


They used to be so close!

      Cisco has a right to be upset and angry at Barry. He did a selfish thing. Dante and Cisco were never close but they were getting there. Barry might as well have stolen that time Cisco and Dante had. Yet... at the same time I have to kind of defend Barry like Oliver had. Barry has lost so much. Oliver even more so. Put yourself in Barry's lightning shoes for a minute. If you had the chance to resurrect your parents you would. His mother died when he was young and his father was murdered right in front of him. It's completely understandable and okay for Barry to have one slip of selfishness seeing as he's done so much good for everyone else.


I don't know what to do if Barry & Cisco aren't friends

     Also Barry isn't a god. Saving his mother caused a simple ripple effect. Other big events such as the particle explosion still happened and people make choices which shapes our reality. It's like flipping a coin. Scenario: You're walking down the street and see a flower shop across the road. Right next to you is a jewelry shop. You just realized it's your sister's birthday. You don't know if you should get her a bracelet or flowers. You decide to flip a coin. Heads you get flowers. Tails a bracelet. In one timeline you get heads, in another you get tails, in another you probably decide to get both. Who's to say Dante wouldn't have died anyway? He was hit by a car but he could also have been killed by a metahuman or fallen off a cliff. Oliver and Iris have both given the same argument. 


The universe doesn't make sense without Cisco
& Barry's friendship

      I feel like Cisco will forgive Barry. Barry's hard to stay mad at. Barry sacrifices so much for everyone else you have to forgive him for being selfish. It's not often he changes the timeline for a self-serving reason and Stein now has a kid and Diggle may have lost a daughter but he still has a child. Mourning over what was or might have been is a waste of time. Cisco and Barry have been through too much to throw away their friendship. At least I hope...

TVD: Is There Saving Enzo?



They choose each other this time!


        I missed the episode but caught up with the CW app and I have to say my heart broke for Bonnie and Enzo. They're the new epic love to perhaps rival Damon and Elena. Which begs the question do Enzo and Bonnie have the strength to fight for their love? Is it strong enough? Hopefully because Bonnie deserves to be happy for once.


Enzo is a deeply romantic guy.
He rivals Damon for my affections!

       First you have to factor in character traits. He may be a wicked flirt but overall Enzo is a chivalrous guy. He's a deeply romantic guy and puts the needs of his lover first. When Enzo was imprisoned at Whitmore he fell in love with the nurse but he compelled her away to spare her any torment. When he got out all he wanted to do was find her so he could thank her for being his comfort through out the torture. Enzo found out Damon killed her he was really pissed. Then Enzo moved on to Lily Salvatore. Enzo went so far as to duel Julian to win her but she still walked away with the other hot psycho vampire so Enzo decided to fold. However, he did offer to runaway with Lily while her sons defeated Julian. Then he fell in love with Bonnie. He holds the corner stone on romantic gestures to say the least (rivaling Klaus I think). Enzo went to great lengths to save Bonnie's life. He always goes the extra mile even when it hurts. Enzo turned off his humanity to give Bonnie a chance at surviving Sibyl. That's true love!


Who knew that little spark would ignite a passionate flame?

     Bonnie has always been a loyal, fierce friend. She's dedicated to the point where she will literally die if it would save the person she loves. Bonnie was Damon's adversary for quite a while but once they bonded she basically became his only other friend besides Alaric. Damon even calls her by her lovable nick name "Bon Bon." Bonnie will even suffer in silence as she did when she was the door to the other side. Every spirit that passed through her caused her excruciating pain but she kept that secret from Jeremy so he wouldn't worry about her. Bonnie has this innate sense of responsibility to bear the weight of other's troubles so she'll go to the ends of the earth to save someone's life.

Hope they work it out! Hope Enzo doesn't die or Bon Bon!

      Enzo was used to being the one that was alone, never chosen. Bonnie was used to bearing the weight of her own sacrifices. These two are uniquely matched with each other where Bonnie finally finds a guy who's willing to sacrifice his personal happiness for her well being and Enzo finally finds someone who will choose him. Bonnie won't give up on Enzo and he has faith that she can switch his humanity back on. I do too but it'll be one emotional ride!

TVD: How Will It ALL End?


The End is near...


   Since this season will be the last I've been wondering how it will all end. I did a post a while back on how I wanted it to end but since then we've lost quite a few characters so it leaves me wondering if there is room for a happy ending for any of our heroes...


She finally chose Damon now they need
a story book ending

    Delena is ENDGAME!

           It's clear that Damon and Elena are the epic love and that they will end up together but how? Nina Dobrev said that she would be back for the final season but will it be when Bonnie finally dies of old age or she dies young (again). Perhaps we'll see Elena and Damon having their first child with Stefan checking in on them or Elena is working in a hospital then finds out she's pregnant. Either way I see Elena and Damon having babies. They will have to go into hiding (which could be material for any fan who wants to continue this story in their fan fictions) because they hold the cure to vampirism in their blood (which could also be passed on to their children... wow that's perfect material for another story!). Anyway I see a happy ending for Damon and Elena. Speaking of happy endings for epic loves...


Ok I'm biased but they're gonna end up together

   Klaroline is ENDGAME!!!!!!

          I may be biased but I don't see Stefan and Caroline working out. They may last a hundred years or so but Caroline and Klaus are meant to be! For the end of this series I see Caroline with her girls all grown up or at least teenagers because Caroline would never abandon them not even for Klaus until they've aged and died. It would be cool if The Originals (despite lower viewership) goes further that Caroline takes a trip down to New Orleans since once The Vampire Diaries is over we can focus entirely on the Original Family and jump ahead to as many years as we like to explore the new family dynamic with a powerful Hope who would clash with her father, Klaus on her powers and her love life. To see Caroline playing step-mother to Hope would be interesting to see.


Stefan Salvatore. Always the high school sweet heart
never the epic love

   Stefan & Matt Deserve Some Happiness

             Stefan doesn't have to end up with someone to be happy but it would be nice for him to finally have a girl and keep her instead of losing one to his brother (either romantically or because Damon killed them). He could go back to his first love but I don't see that happening. Stefan is happiest with human women I've seen. He's so empathetic, like Elijah, Stefan loves humanity. I can see him working on his car, living with a new girlfriend and they're deliriously content.


Haven't seen Matt yet but he's gotta be somewhere

       Is he still living in Mystic Falls despite Matt's vampire band? Of course! Despite Matt and Stefan's beef, deep down Matt knows Stefan is a good vampire who loves this town. They could form some agreement or deal that Stefan can stay if he helps protect the town from other supernatural threats just like the deal Marcel has with the city of New Orleans. Also Matt should find some happiness. I see him with a few kids while working as sheriff, a nice house with a white picket fence. He definitely deserves it given what he's been through since day one.


In this case Alaric is forever cursed

   Alaric Happy Growing Old

          Alaric has died, been brought back, then turned into an Original Vampire, then died again only to be brought back as a human. He needs some peace. Although he's had bad luck in the past with romance, if the nanny doesn't die by the end of the series then I see Alaric having some relationship with her (hopefully not marriage because let's face it he's cursed in that department). Or maybe he'll hook up with the plucky intern Georgie. It's not unheard of professors getting busy with their students. Maybe this will end happily. I also see him growing old, becoming a grandpa with his twin girls taking care of him. Though I just see Alaric taking his twins to school or sending them off to college in some scene in the final episode.


If either of them die before the end I'll lose it!

   Bonnie & Enzo

         I honestly hope Bonnie and Enzo get closure. She's mentioned that she hoped to grow old with Enzo but if she dies young which would bring Elena back then Enzo will be left heart broken. OR maybe Enzo will die before the series is over saving Bonnie (which would fall right in line with his chivalrous character). If that happens I don't see Bonnie happy with anyone else unless Jeremy decides to pop by to give it another try though I highly doubt it. Bonnie may want to live a quiet life though that depends on if she gets her magic back (let's face it, no way Bonnie can remain powerless forever unless that's Julie's plan). 


       So will any of our characters who have suffered so long end up happy? I think in a way they all will find some contentment by series' end. It's the least the writers could do after putting them all through the grinder so many times. What I'm hoping for is closure for the show. The Vampire Diaries got me into vampires again after the slaughter of the genre that was Twilight. I've really enjoyed the series and hope all of my beloved characters find some happy ending.

Timeless: Who Is Lucy's Father?


       


      Time Travel can be confusing but it's still fun to watch the twists and turns. While I wait for 12 Monkeys to return I recently got into NBC's Timeless. A recent mystery arose as to who Lucy Preston's father is.


Lucy, Wyatt, and Rufus should come up with aliases
BEFORE they travel through time

  A Politician?

        Lucy's mother finally tells her that her father was her mother's professor who had desires into entering politics. He had asked to marry Lucy's mother but she refused leaving her to be a single mother. So Lucy's biological father may be some big politician that has been keeping watch over her all of her life.
  

"Garcia" Flynn? That's basically 2 last names

Rittenhouse Member?

       Flynn had asked Lucy to ask why Mason really chose her for this mission. I have a theory that Lucy's father is a member of Rittenhouse. It would explain why she was picked where there were possibly hundreds more qualified historians to ask. Most likely Rittenhouse has spies in government that could have suggested Lucy's name. Or Homeland secretly knows that there's a Rittenhouse and they're keeping quiet about it in order to capture those mysterious members. Either this is his way of trying to get close to his daughter or there's a much bigger piece of the puzzle that we're missing.


      Either way Flynn knows the truth. Eventually Lucy will find herself trusting Flynn to be honest when she discovers that she has been lied to from the start of this mission.

Arrow: Who Is Prometheus?



         Since the arrival of the new dark masked archer named Prometheus I have been wracking my brain as to his identity (or even her!). One theory seems insane but I want to put it forward.


Copy Cat

       What if Prometheus is Tommy Merlyn? But he's dead! I know but come on... we know by now that there are loop holes in the super hero universe. So maybe someone resurrected Tommy for some nefarious purpose and trained him to be a killer in which case there's a bigger conspiracy afoot but we won't go into that this blog post. Tommy would definitely have cause to hate Oliver and want revenge: he kinda stole Laurel, he lied about his past and of being the Arrow. Even though they were sort of reconciled in season 1 before he died perhaps Tommy was brain washed or his memories were manipulated and twisted to make Oliver seem like a hated enemy.


I was drunk when I tried to kiss you once.
Don't make it weird, big bro

        Another possible candidate is probably someone we've never met but from Oliver's time with the Bratva. We know Oliver did some shady stuff for a lot of people and secret organizations that turned him into a cynical killing machine. But I like Tommy for a candidate because season 5 is feeling like season 1 and given Oliver is going through a rough time trying to build a new team as well as new bridges it would be perfect for a ghost from his past would come back to really rattle him. It would also be nice for Thea to finally reconnect with her other older brother (though probably it would be seriously awkward because she tried to kiss him that one time not knowing that he was her half-brother). But they could bond on how horrible a dad Malcolm Merlyn is.

Who wouldn't want to see this cute ghost again?

     Whether he's a familiar face or a new player it'll be a blast from the past for Oliver that will probably be a good way to help him open up and bond with his new team.

Agnets of SHIELD: The Supernatural vs Science Fiction

The Spirit of Vengeance rides again


          I have to say I'm glad Marvel is getting into their more mystical element such as the Dr. Strange film and Ghost Rider being on Agents of SHIELD. It was getting kind of boring with just plain aliens and science fiction. Things we can look forward to:


Aww just two emo leather clad youths seeking redemption

     Coming face to face with the supernatural presents more of a challenge for SHIELD that is so used to dealing with threats not from earth. For them it's unexplored territory. You can say they've been spoiled by aliens that it wasn't a surprise when Daisy met Robbie and instantly thought he was an inhuman. She's still skeptical about the whole "selling your soul to the Devil" but I think she'll come around. Simmons also is on unfamiliar ground. She's used to science holding the answer but when it comes to the mystical there are no clear answers. Given those vengeful spirits on the prowl FitzSimmons may have to do some research into the box that held them for so long because that strange rare metal may hold the key to defeating future supernatural threats. 

Should we call the Ghost Busters for back up?

      The supernatural threat also comes at the worst time where Inhumans are being targeted by hate groups and even certain politicians are trying to wipe them out based on hatred and fear. It ups the stakes where now the supernaturals will be lumped in with the Inhumans which would be disastrous because mystical beings aren't easily contained by the same laws of physics as mutants or enhanced individuals. However, that doesn't mean they can't be contained. It just means Coulson and his team will have to get more creative.  


This guy is kinda hot. Literally!

      I also don't believe Daisy and Robbie are done riding together. Next episode shows Robbie getting captured by SHIELD but by the look of his glowing red eyes it doesn't seem like that box will be enough to hold that demon of his. Eventually Daisy will be captured by SHIELD and Robbie may help bust her out or the new Director may offer her a deal and they'll meet up again. I don't want to call Ghost Rider Daisy's new love interest though I won't deny they have some chemistry. Daisy doesn't seem ready to let herself love again just yet because she's so haunted by guilt over Lincoln's death.

Game of Thrones "WHAT IF": Rhaegar & Lyanna Had Lived?



            Been watching some videos on YouTube on "What If" scenarios of Game of Thrones and since I've done something similar for The Vampire Diaries I thought I'd do at least one or two for one of my all time favorite shows that has so many what if/could have been scenarios. So... What if Rhaegar and Lyanna didn't die but lived?



Romance gets in the way of politics

The Story...

           Okay NOW it's officially known that Jon Snow is actually the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. How their affair started may have been at the Tourney of Harrenhall where Rhaegar crowned Lyanna the Queen of Love and Beauty instead of his wife, Elia Martell at the time. About a year or so later Rhaegar reportedly abducted Lyanna Stark which kick started Robert Baratheon's rebellion. Rhaegar and Lyanna were missing for at least 8 months for the entire rebellion but what if Rhaegar had emerged sooner once he heard that Lyanna's brash big brother Bran was being held prisoner by the Mad King?



This is what happens when men think with
that lower head

Bran Spared & a Stark Queen?

         Rhaegar was beloved by the people of Westeros who would have most likely forgiven him for abducting Lyanna but the Starks would have been a different story. However, Rhaegar cared about Lyanna so much that he would have spared her hot head brother. But what about the Mad King? Rhaegar most likely had a plan to have his father abdicate either forcing him off the throne or some one (most likely Dorne) assassinate him so he could take the throne like everyone wanted him to. Rhaegar would have revealed that he had secretly married Lyanna and since Targaryens have practiced polygamy before it would have been legit. I don't think Elia would have minded either because she was completely devoted to Rhaegar and would have supported him. Elia and Rhaegar were close enough that I wouldn't doubt that he told her about the prophecy and that "the dragon needs 3 heads" thing. Since Elia couldn't bare anymore of Rhaegar's children she would have welcomed a second Queen. Dorne may have grumbled but Elia would give her full support to her husband and Dorne wouldn't try anything like try and assassinate Lyanna.



Robert would have ruined it for everyone

Baratheon Rebellion

        Given Robert's infamous temper I doubt he would have taken the stealing of his bride (the woman he was obsessed with) lying down. He still would have called in his banners but he wouldn't have had the support because Ned would have stood by his sister and if she asked Ned to stay out of Robert's Rebellion then he would have. However, Ned would have pled mercy for his best friend to his new brother-in-law and Robert would have been probably sent to the Wall to become a Man of the Night's Watch, leaving Stannis as the new Lord of Storm's End. 



Tywin would probably be in a better mood if Rhaegar had lived

The Lannisters?

       Always one to plan for every scenario I have no doubt that Tywin would have supported Rhaegar, a much more competent king that he could work for. Not sure he would have been made the Hand of the King but it's safe to say that Rhaegar would have asked Tywin to fill that role. Possibly Tywin would have asked for Jaime to quit the King's Guard but he would have said no leaving him and Cersei apart (so no twin-cest). Still Tywin would have tried to tie himself to the Targaryen Dynasty by proposing his daughter Cersei to the Prince Viserys or even his dwarf son Tyrion to Rhaegar's daughter though I doubt the second proposal would have been granted. To keep Tywin on his good side, Rhaegar would have given him Viserys as a husband for Cersei or any other marriage he desired so long as it didn't make Tywin too powerful.



Jon would probably still end up King

Prince Jon?

       Lyanna died in childbirth and that probably still would have happened but it wouldn't have been in the Tower of Joy. It most likely would have happened in a nice birthing chamber with the best royal midwives and maesters to give Lyanna aid. Jon or as many have speculated Jaeharyes would have been the second prince of the 7 Kingdoms after his older brother Prince Aegon. Jon still would have also had a dire wolf as a gift from his uncle Ned who probably would have married Ashara Dayne (or maybe I don't know, that one's up for grabs). Prince Jon would have grown up legitimate, learning to fight, loved by his parents and had a loving family. Either Jon would have married his aunt Daenerys or his older sister Rhaenys (though most likely she would have married her brother Aegon because he's the oldest boy). OR! Jon and Aegon would have both married Rhaenys in some new unorthodox tradition because the White Walkers were coming and there were 3 Dragons needed to help fight them so Rhaegar would have attempted this new tradition. 



Poor Daenerys would have suffered...

Princess Daenerys & Prince Viserys Married?

       Because it was tradition for Targaryens to marry their siblings and that Rhaegar was already married with 2 children of his own, once Daenerys was born she would have likely been a bride for her older brother Viserys. He would have still been abusive as hell and Daenerys would probably not be the badass, confident queen we know her as today. They probably would have also had children. The first one perhaps would still have been deformed (because that's a pattern with Targaryens because of the constant incest) but she would have had more pregnancies and so more living children. 



We still would have gotten this epic fight scene!

The White Walkers

        The White Walkers would be a more prominent threat and perhaps more attention would have been focused on preparing for war with them. However, they wouldn't have dragons as an advantage because Daenerys gets them when she's exiled in Essos. Though I believe with uniting the 7 Kingdoms Rhaegar could have mustered some forces to help stop them but... would they have the Three Eyed Raven? Blood Raven would have probably sent some messages to someone in the Targaryen family about the things they needed to defeat the White Walkers and perhaps the Children of the Forest would have survived a bit longer to help fight before becoming extinct completely. Still there would have been no Bran, Arya, Sansa, Robb or Rikon. 



Melisandre wouldn't have that much influence over Rhaegar

The Red God

      Thoros of Myr and Melisandre are so far the only presences of the one "true" god. They were sent in hopes of converting King Robert to their fire religion but failed. Would they have failed with Rhaegar? The red religion is fire-based and the Targaryens are obsessed with fire. Rhaegar probably would have converted but wouldn't have forced anyone else to or he may not have converted but wouldn't allow the red priests and priestesses to commit the horrors that Melisandre had been committing the last few seasons, burning non-believers and children. But they have some kind of magic and Rhaegar would have enlisted their help in the fight against the White Walkers. 


If only they had lived!

     So things would be entirely different from the path we are currently on. As much as I would have loved for Jon to have been raised a prince it would have robbed us of the dragons and Daenerys being awesome. Though Ned would definitely be alive so that's a plus (not a big one but I loved Ned!).

Game of Thrones: Daenerys is the Conqueror

     Recently I did a blog about how Jon Snow is the Savior. Now I'm going to do one about how Daenerys is the Conqueror.


     "A prince is riding. I've heard the thunder of his hooves. Swift as the wind he rides. His enemies will cower before him and their wives will weep tears of blood... The Stallion Who Mounts the World."

~ Ser Jorah translating Dosh Khaleen



Mother of Dragons

   She's not just a Henry Tudor figure (because Game of Thrones was based off of the War of the Roses) but also I see a bit of Alexander the Great and Cleopatra in her. She's young but she exhibits an intelligence for strategy. She's wrong sometimes but Dany is wise enough to recognize her mistakes and take her counselors advice. Dany is definitely a liberator and to the slaves she freed she is a Savior but Daenerys has to deal with politics and that means sacrificing certain lower classes such as when she had to execute one of her devoted followers who murdered a Son of the Harpy before his trial forcing her to enforce the law. Let's look at the prophecy:



The Unburnt

"As swift as the wind he rides, and behind him his khalasar covers the earth, with arakhs shining in their hands like blades of razor grass. Fierce as a storm this prince will be. His enemies will tremble before him, and their wives will weep tears of blood and rend their flesh in grief. The bells in his hair will sing his coming, and the milk men in their stone tents will fear his name. The prince is riding, and he shall be the stallion who mounts the world."

~ Dothraki Prophecy



Breaker of Chains

        The mistake many make is they're expecting a man, a prince but I'm reminded of the time of Elizabeth I's birth when her parents were promised a boy by some astrologers. King Henry even had a letter already written out announcing the arrival of a prince but when she was born he had to squeeze in the "ss". Given the Dothraki have a strict patriarchal society where only men can lead I can see why they would assume the Stallion would be male but look at the prophecy carefully when I take out the other stuff:


"As swift as the wind he rides... Fierce as a storm this prince will be... the milk men in their stone tents will fear his name..."


Mysha

      Before season 6 from seasons 1-5 Daenerys is seen as a threat to those ruling Westeros because she's the last living heir of the Targaryen Dynasty and could easily claim the throne as well as take vengeance on those who rebelled and massacred her family. Milk Men in Stone Tents is an obvious reference to the people of Westeros who would certainly fear Dany's coming because she had an army though not yet big enough. Daenerys also make reference to her nickname "Stormborn" because she was born during a terrible storm while her family fled Westeros. You can certainly describe Dany as "fierce as a storm" given her temper and the havoc she can wreak. "As swift as the wind he rides" could absolutely refer to Dany riding her dragons.


"...and behind him his khalasar covers the earth, men without number..."


    Now that Daenerys has the Dothraki behind her she can add it to her growing army. If you want you can count the Tyrell, Martell, and Greyjoys which would stretch her army as far as the eye could see. 



So many titles...

      I know it's tempting to paint Dany as a savior like Jon but there's a defining difference between them. Dany has a foul temper worthy of the Targaryen name. She believes in her destiny. In season 2 when she was asked why she wanted the Iron Throne at first she said, "I promised my khalasar I'd keep them safe" but when pressed she said, "I want the Iron Throne because it is mine by right." But she's also unforgiving. She killed the Masters at Astapor, she banished Jorah for his betrayal, and she wanted to burn down every slave city that tried to destroy Mereen.




         Jon on the other hand can leave his temper at the door and do what he thinks is right regardless of how he feels, which I think is due to the influence of his Stark upbringing. He didn't ask to be Lord Commander, he didn't want to betray Ygritte, and he didn't want to fight for Winterfell but he did those things because he's bound by an honor code. Jon follows orders to the best of his abilities and will sacrifice himself if there's no other way. I have no doubt that once his legitimacy comes to light he'll tell Dany he doesn't want the Iron Throne and be one of the few people who actually mean it. Jon is not ambitious like Dany.

Scream Queens: More of the Same


       I admit that I was skeptical about Scream Queens but it was pretty good as a horror parody and I felt it should have ended in season 1 but FOX likes it's crap and Scream Queens season 2? Well... It's the same crap rehashed.


The bitches are back and... nothing's changed

      It's all Bimbos, Himbos, stupid jokes, and predictable story plots. What the hell is Taylor Lautner doing there?I can only assume he's eye candy. Every time he talks I zone out because anything he says has no meaning or emotion attached to it. Zeydey for some reason keeps coming back for more psychological punishment or maybe she just likes being the only smart person with a heart among narcissistic morons. And I know the show is called Scream Queens but that doesn't mean they have to scream at every new surprise. 


Being good looking is not a qualification

      Characters? Wow what a train wreck. I liked the ending in season 1 where Chanel finally became a good person by being surrounded by equally mentally dysfunctional people. The intention of a story is to force the character to change in some way but Chanel is still a shallow, self-centered verbally abusive bitch who still bullies Chanel No. 5 mercilessly when before at the end of season 1 they became best friends. I refuse to believe a character is so shallow that they would slide back into old habits or traits just because one character decided to stop taking her meds that made her more likable to another character. A character who refuses to learn is not someone I want to watch. 


Stop. Screaming.

      What is this show's obsession with psychotic serial killers wearing costumes? If it's to keep you guessing on who the killer is you don't need to dress them in a stupid Halloween costume. You can just use gloves and not show anything else. Another thing is the creepiness of John Stamos's character (who's name I've forgotten because I don't care enough to remember) smiling like a predator at the young selfish Chanel is just... Ok I get that he's handsome and I myself have fantasized about older men and I see the appeal but I just get a churning in my stomach every time he smiles. 

Same plot line. Just plain lazy writing

    It's just the cycle of abuse that keeps on giving everyone trauma. It's not scary or even funny it's just plain sad. I understand that it's mostly comedy but they could try a little harder by evolving their story.
