My Brother's Keeper - The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 7

*This review contains spoilers.*

I am so excited to how the end of the relationship with Stefan will lead to more Damon.

  • Caroline is so beautiful, and Stefan is so silly for saying that in the middle of the woods where anyone could be listening. 
  • Ah, yes, Stefan and Damon interacting! Oh, wow, that "Oh" from Damon was amazing. 
  • Caroline, shut up, Stefan is not Elena's soulmate. 
  • Oh, no, Professor Shane is here! Haha, "the scent of hairspray and domination."
  • What is Stefan looking for in the hospital? Oh, my God, why did he just turn a convicted murderer into a vampire?
  • Oh, it really surprises me that Klaus will accept the slight to his ego of forcing Caroling to go on a date with him? Though it's adorable how sweet he is with her!
  • Whoa, is Jeremy killing Elena? Oh, dream, okay, whoa, haha!
  • Meeting with Stefan? Oh, the convicted murderer must be for Jeremy to kill. 
  • Yes, April wear the red, and Elena, agree with Damon! 
  • "Damon, we need to talk?!?!?!?" Oh, dear God, Delena might be coming to fruition! Ahhhh! I can't breathe, I can't see, I can't think. 
  • NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Professor Shane!!!! You bastard! In the words of my beautifully eloquent roommate, "Fuck you, sir, fuck you."
  • Stefan, you are seriously off the rails right now. So far off the rails. 
  • Caroline looks so pretty, and Hailey looks like such a slut. 
  • "Pick up the tempo, this is a pageant not a funeral."
  • Oh, whoa, April looks so beautiful in red, and thank you so much for rescuing her Matt! Wasn't he supposed to be with Elena though?
  • Caroline, back off of Elena and Damon! Yes, go with Klaus! 
  • Whoa, Jeremy taking down Stefan!
  • I love Klaus so much....oh, look how much fun they're having together!!!! 
  • Oh, I hope Jeremy doesn't do anything drastic. 
  • Yes, Damon! Show that Professor Shane!
  • And....Miss Mystic is April Young!!!! Wooooooooo!
  • Elena, be careful! Oh, no! Jeremy, no, you can overcome this! 
  • OH DEAR GOD!!!! He staked her in the neck!!!!
  • Wooooooo! Still, it should have been Damon who rescued her! 
  • Wow, Hailey likes old guys. 
  • Oh, wow, Klaus is telling Caroline the most touching story ever. I love him so much, come on Caroline, 
  • Elena is going to be living with Damon? YES! Whoa, whoa, Hailey is in cahoots with Professor Shane!!!
  • Awwwww, Damon is going to be such a sweetheart. Oh, yep!!!!!! Oh, my God, they're dancing!!!! DELENA!!!! DELENA DELENA DELENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Words fail to express how utterly enamored I am with this show right now!
  • Caroline, you need to shut up and love Elena the way she is. She's your friend, nothing is wrong with her. 
  • OH, MY GOD, THEY'RE KISSING! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, PASSIONATE, EPIC ..... OH, MY GOD, CLOTHES FLYING, SHOVING AGAINST THE WALL!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Oh, my God, the Damon and Elena love scene is the literally the greatest love scene I have ever scene!
  • God almighty, I have never been more in love with anyone than Damon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

World Without End by Ken Follett

*This review contains spoilers.*

I picked this book because I had read Pillars of the Earth and seen that miniseries on Starz. I really, really loved Pillars of the Earth, and I liked World Without End, too, but not as much.

Essentially, it follows the descendants of Jack and Aliena, Merthin and Ralph, as well as Caris Wooler and her cousin Godwyn, and a pair of peasants, Gwenda and Wulfric.

Personally, and this has always been a problem with his books for me, I think it took a little too long...I am extremely impatient, and waiting ages and ages for characters to get together irks me to no end. I utterly adored Merthin, but the way Caris treated him bugged me a lot, and I loved Gwenda to death. I also had a bit of a soft spot for Ralph, even though he was the "bad" guy, just because he was not as bad as William Hamleigh of the original.

I find that the plot and even the characters are fairly similar to the original, but that has never bothered me, so read this if you liked the first one. It's also an excellent portrayal of life in the Middle Ages if you don't like that it has a similar plot.

Also, I watched the miniseries and I loved it! They cut out some stuff, hurried it along, and added more action and romance...so, you know, I was golden. It wasn't as good as the Pillars miniseries, but that of course had David Oakes in it, and you can't beat him. Anyway, this one had Tom Weston-Jones (of BBC America's Copper) as Merthin, so, of course, I died! Also, TV!Caris, played by Charlotte Riley (Cathy in my favorite version of Wuthering Heights) was so much less annoying than book!Caris. There was also much more of the royal family in the miniseries, which I loved. Oh, and the miniseries Ralph is ridiculously attractive; his name is Oliver Jackson-Cohen and I've never seen him before, but he is very, very attractive. Be warned, when he took his shirt off, I actually gasped I was so surprised there was so much hair there, but I got over that quickly.

Anyway, if you're undecided, I recommend the miniseries, but if you loved Pillars or really enjoy Medieval life, then I recommend the book and miniseries!

I bought a huge selection of books on  Black Friday, so look forward to more reviews!

We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes - The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 6


*This review contains spoilers.*

And this is why Thursday is my favorite day of the week.
  • Oh, my God, Elena is being haunted and just stabbed Jeremy....oh, good, the ring. 
  • Finally, she knows Stefan can't be trusted. 
  • Finally, thank you, Elena...
  • Oh, damn, Hailey is so bad news. And here's Klaus!
  • Damn, Caroline is serious...Oh, wow, Klaus is dragging them all away...props. Oh, damn, they were just playing Klaus...I don't know, I still don't trust Hailey....
  • Oh, damn, Nina Dobrev has utterly stunning hair...and poor Elena is continuing to hallucinate. 
  • Wait, killing a hunter makes you try and kill yourself? Elena is the final victim? Damn!
  • Oh, no, Klaus ran off with Elena!
  • Oh, no, Jeremy's getting the tattoo...
  • Uh-oh, Professor Creepy! Oh, no...I feel bad about poor Rebecca. 
  • Oh, wow, 52 years, 4 months and 9 days of torment for poor Klaus. Uh-oh...
  • She's hallucinating Katherine, now?
  • This is really cool, all this occult stuff...Poor Silas, powerless, immortal and alone. Wait, what if Professor Creepy is Silas? Oh, yes, "Nothing to Silas," he is so freaking Silas.
  • Oh, how I love thee, Damon!
  • Oh, Caroline, can't you see Klaus is your soulmate? How sweet he's being? How he wouldn't have let Tyler hurt you?
  • Oh, fuck, Elena just took out Stefan!
  • Okay, good, we've got Jeremy. 
  • I like the look in Damon's eyes when Stefan tells him only he can talk Elena down.
  • Oh, Klaus, baby....
  • Oh, my God, it's her mother! 
  • She threw her ring in the river! Damon is going to come along and sacrifice himself by giving Elena his ring because he is the most wonderful guy in the entire world. 
  • Oh, damn, Ghost!Mom is pulling out the big guns!
  • DAMON!!!!!!!!! Here to save the day!!!!!
  • Oh, fuck, it's Klaus...Chris, you're fucked. 
  • Woooo! Curse lifted! Uh-oh....here comes the sun!
  • Damon, I love you, you rescued her ring from the river. You are the sweetest guy in the world. Yes, he saved you, you dumb bitch, now love him!
  • Handholding is good, yes, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss! Look at Damon, he's not taking advantage, he's taking the high road and telling her the truth...
  • YES!!!!! KLAUS AND CAROLINE HAVE A DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!!!!
  • Oh, fuck, Bonnie, get out of there!
  • Elena, can you not see Damon is the better man, here?
  • No, no, no, Elena, you are a vampire. Live it, love it. 
  • Wait, is Stefan breaking up with her? Please, God, yes! That leaves it wide open for Delena!
What an episode! My ovaries exploded for Damon several times...and I regret nothing.

  • Oooooh, joint diary writing! I like it! Oh, my God, Elena, you angsty, whiny bitch....how can you not be enthused about eternity with the utterly divine Damon (or, if you insist, Stefan)?

Southern Comfort - Supernatural Season 8 Episode 6

*This review contains spoilers.*

I'm still in "awww" mode because Ollie was being so sensitive last episode of Arrow, but I'll try to keep from  gushing too profusely at you. 
  • Oooooh, whatever are we doing in Mississippi? 2
  • Oh, I hate it when the boys fight...aw, "He's my friend, Sam." What a sweet way of sticking up for Benny! 
  • Oooooh, he turns it on poor Sammy! 
  • Hahahaha, Dean, you never cease to make me grin! 
  • Lols, I love that he's a Texas Ranger in Missouri.
  • I like the impression we get of the hunter's world through Garth's taking over of Bobby's job...it's like a strange system or company. 
  • Green ectoplasm? That's a thing now? What could it be?
  • Oh, shit, Mary carved the name with her fingernails! 
  • Sarah Alcott had one night with Chester? At high school prom? What does that have to do with anything? Ooooh, I love these detective type scenes. 
  • Garth went to college? And dental school? The Tooth Fairy? What! 
  • Jeff? Who is Jeff? Oh, no, Scott has ectoplasm in his ear! And scalded Jeff and used a shovel! GHOST OF CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  •  Sussex? As in the place in England? As in the ship? As in the short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle...thoughts?
  • More Amelia flashbacks? Oooooooh, sexytimes. 
  • Oh, Dean, stop running from your emotions...you know you want to talk to Garth about this...aw, Dean, why did you have to snap at poor Garth like that?
  • Okay, so they both had grudges...okay, okay specter, an avenging ghost!
  • The specter is the unknown solider? The Confederate Unknown Soldier? Why not, this show is no stranger to preposterousness. 
  • Oh, Garth, you are too sentimental, it's endearing. "We won." Dean, you are an insensitive bastard. (Stephanie says, "Dean you are awesome!")
  • Oh, no, poor Scott! Oh, damn, it's in the deputy! who shot the Sheriff! Damn!
  • Oh, wait, Amelia wants her and Sam to just be friends with benefits...oh, poor Sammy!

  • A penny?!
  • Oh, shit, the specter is in Dean!!!!!! Awww, poor Dean!
  • Ooh, I like this scene of tracing the path of the penny a lot. 
  • Oh, damn...this is so rough, I hate it when the boys fight. So, so much. Demon blood, Ruby, losing his soul, Samuel...Dean is laying it on thick...but he did get left in Purgatory. 
  • Oh, no, don't hurt each other! Oh, oh, this is awful! 
  • How can Garth touch it?
  • Aw, how sweet the advice Garth is giving is....awwwww, hug!

The Five - The Vampire Diaries Season 3 Episode 4


*This review contains spoilers.*

I am so beyond excited right now!
  • 1110 AD, creepy ritual? This must be The Five! 
  • Ooooooh, Elena and Damon, alone together? I like this idea!
  • Sexytimes with Stefan? Nope, just reassurances. 
  • Rebecca bought Matt a truck? Aw, forgive her, Matt! 
  • Whoa, whoa, Klaus...whoa, Rebecca, way to stand up to him!
  • I love Damon, so much! "Always had a thing for sorority girls." "You're disgusting." "I know." The way he said "I know" was so sexy. 
  • Delena whispering in the dark is very nice as well. 
  • And Klaus has an Inquisition pain room...I like it. 
  • Ooooh, Klaus is beyond sexy in 12th century Italian garb. Very cool, I love the archaic flashbacks...Oh, Rebecca loved one. 
  • Oh, Stefan, you are playing Rebecca like a xylophone. 
  • Oh, and Elena can't do it. I love you, Damon, anyway. 
  • Haha, they're going to a frat party!
  • Ah, Klaus, I love you so.
  • Ooooh, Rebecca's Alexander is pretty hot. I love these flashbacks. 
  • This frat party is so unrealistic...they don't even start until midnight, no one is that polite and like two dozen people would have been grinding by now. 
  • Ah, she's going for roofie guy! 
  • Oh, Elena and Damon are so going to hook up tonight. 
  • Wait, does this mean Jeremy is the next generation of the five?
  • Aw, Rebecca and Alexander are so sweet!
  • Oh, shit...he has a dagger with ash right there! Aw, poor Rebecca, loving someone who hates her kind like that....Holy fuck! He knew!!!! DAMN IT! He knew, and go them all! Holy fuck! 
  • Oh, Klaus, leave your sister alone!
  • A cure?! A cure for vampirism? Holy shit! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
  • Damn, Rebecca, way to be!
  • Oh, Bonnie, don't hook up with Professor Creepy, please?
  • Oh, they are hooking up...look at the looks, the feels! Oh, the feels! Damn you Bonnie, what the hell! Oh, don't rush off and leave Damon!
  • Okay, he better not escape! Oh, damn, he bit off the earring, he's going to escape! Oh, no!
  • Oh, Elena, no, you don't want to be here with Stefan, you love Damon, DAMON! 
  • Oh, damn, Damon, you deserve so much better than Elena. 
  • Oh, Rebecca, don't fall for Stefan's stick....
  • Aw, Rebecca, you buried Alex? That's heartbreaking. And fucking Klaus and Stefan are going to dagger her with white oak ash. Oh, them using her emotions against her...oh, Stefan, you heartless bastard! Klaus, no! Oh, fuck! REBECCA! Noooooo! Gah, this show gives me more feels than any other!
  • And Damon still walks that bitch to her door. Damon, love a better woman! Oh, God, Damon, why are you a masochist? "You don't want to be like me?" Oh, sweetie, I want to be like you! And with you! Because you're the best! Oh, God, Damon! 
  • Oh, Elena, you stupid bitch! 
  • Oh, no Connor got Danny! Damn! 
  • Professor Creepy is in charge of Connor? WHAT!!!!????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaH! Greatest hour of TV ever! I swear to God I will watch this show til the day I die.
