I can't even believe what I'm about to say but TVD was amazing tonight!! One of the best episodes I've seen in years, tbh. Damon and Bonnie gave me life, Tyler's finally got a love interest that would literally lay down her life for him, Alaric was phenomenal, Caroline's finally getting back to who she was when she was great, and that ending with Stefan and Damon being reunited..That killed me and I honestly can't remember a time when I cried so hard over TVD

I'm always worried Gina is going to crush his spirit or something.
I don't find Boyle creepy at all. I think he's just an off the wall, sensitive, goofball and I love that about him. I don't like him with Gina for two reasons, one being I simply don't like Gina and two, I feel like she's just gonna hurt him, tbh. I feel like underneath all her hardness and edge, Rosa really cares about Boyle.

If they have to ruin a character for a triangle, it's not worth it. Look at how well they're handling Regina/Robin/Marian. I mean Marian's boring but it's not like they made her a bad mother or scheming wife.
I couldn't agree more. I'm not a big fan of triangles but if a show is gonna have one, don't do it by assassinating one of the characters because then not only are you running with a triangle that's only gonna fail but you're trashing all over a beloved character. I went from loving Bash to barely being able to tolerate him because of what they pulled with Mash. It was only after he stopped obsessing over his brother's fiance that I was able to enjoy him again.

Seriously. Did we need an ep devoted to Lola finding a lover, Conde getting revenge, and Francis being a grump?
Poor Mary. My heart broke when Francis said/lied that he'd given up hope. That was the worst time to say it too. I know he wants to protect her but that's the kind of thing that will send her straight to Conde. Gag. They won't be having sexy time anytime soon. Thanks writers.
Greer marrying Castleroy was actually the least offensive plot. Of course she still loves Leith, and I was gutted for him, but it was sweet to show Greer being a new mom.
Lola/Narcisse...fine. Leave it to her to fancy the guy who betrayed her baby daddy.
I was pumped about the Catholics vs. Protestants plot but this was pretty dry. It would've been more interesting if we met the nephew earlier or they were really two friends with different beliefs. This should've been more exciting.

I found the episode in general rather boring. Like it was bad but it was definitely a filler episode. I'm all for Lola getting a love interest so she'll keep her nose out of Frary's marriage and stop whining that Francis robbed her of the life she wanted but focusing an entire episode to the cause really did not amuse me and it really only made her come across as desperate, tbh. I did, however, find Kenna's efforts adorable and Catherine's line about Lola lacking spark nearly had me in stitches

I felt really bad for Leith and so soo bad for Mary I love me some Frary and I know that Francis only said what he did to keep Mary away from the real truth and to protect her but I felt going along with that lie in particular was cruel. Mary already felt those words for herself and then to have the man she loves speak them as well..Ouch. Not just the point he was getting across but the words he used to express that point: "I'm disappointed by your failure" that's pretty brutal Mary was completely devastated by his harsh words and you could tell Francis immediately regretted his words the moment they left his lips..He had that look like "oh god, what did I do?" and I'm right there with him..What did you do Francis?!? I can't..I was just gutted by my bbs tonight

And I'm sorry but this Narcisse has got to go. Who does he think he is threatening and blackmailing my precious bb boy?? such an asshat

Sadly, the Frary drama was the highlight of the episode for me. Even though it broke my heart, Toby and Ade's acting was as flawless as ever and the rest of the episode was so very dull

Totally. Gina's already said some things to Boyle that I really don't care for. Rosa actually cares about his well-being and where he's going in life. We'll see what the writers do but I hope G/B isn't long-term.

It really was boring. Catherine's quips to Lola are really the best part of any Lola scene. Or Mary standing up for herself. I actually liked the dolphin guy she was talking to but of course I knew Narcisse was the more dramatic option. And yep, Kenna's just adorable these days. A forced marriage agrees with her.

I did miss seeing some Kennash. I guess with the Frary and Greith, there wasn't enough time for them.

Exactly. The wording killed me. It's not like Mary has any say on what her body does so to call it a "failure" is not only wrong but gut-wrenching to hear. Especially after she lost their baby. I wouldn't blame Mary if she didn't talk to him for a month. I just hope it doesn't send her running off to a certain dark-haired fellow...

I so wanted Francis to knee him in the privates. I knew Francis wasn't going to kill him since he's a good person. But Narcisse wasn't looking at the whole picture (since it didn't benefit him). If Henry lived, countless lives would've been lost and France would've been worse off. Plus it was self-preservation because Francis would be dead if Henry had his way. Everything Francis told the "possessed maid" was true....Henry was a living plague to their country.
But yeah, I despise Narcisse right now. Although I think a romance with Lola is probably the writers' way of showing he's not so bad.

Toby and Ade are really the reason I watch. Like I enjoy 90% of the characters on the show, but Tade bring their scenes to another level. They struck gold with those two.

Before it's too late.......Happy Halloween, guys!

Yeah, I just hate that Gina acts like she's better than Boyle and for a gentle, sensitive guy that clearly already has low self-esteem issues, being with someone like that is the last thing Boyle needs. Totally agree on Rosa and I've loved those little moments when she gets protective over Boyle when other people don't treat him right.

Right? I actually was liking Lola and that guy too and for someone who despises Lola in general, I actually found myself thinking they'd be cute together but then of course the real love interest had to be Narcisse

And to think there was a time when I didn't think anything could even make her tolerable

Yeah, I wasn't really expecting much because I knew the focus would be on Frary and Greith but I was really hoping we'd at least get one small moment hopefully next week we'll get some Kennash

My feelings exactly. Francis has these moments where he lets his temper get the best of him and says things he doesn't really mean in the heat of the moment but I hope he finds a way to make it up to Mary because what he said was pretty bad so he's gonna need some major swoon moments to make it better

Yeah, they're probably gonna attempt to redeem Narcisse at some point but I just can't stand the way he's strutting around like he thinks he owns Francis I know Henry was his father and everything but cmon let's be honest, Francis did the world a favor by killing him and that's coming from someone who thoroughly enjoyed Henry. By the end of it, Henry had become a complete and total monster and killing him was literally the only way to stop him and then add in the fact that he planned to kill Francis. Francis knew it was either him or Henry and he did what he had to do. Given the destruction Henry was inflicting upon his family, his people, and his country, I'd consider what Francis did justified even if it wasn't self defense

I love the show in general and enjoy most of the characters but Toby and Ade are in a league all of their own. The wide range of their acting and the way they play off each other so naturally is incomparable to anyone else on the show. The only other duo I've seen this with on a present show is Daniel and Phoebe from TO and I think a large part of that is because they're like best friends in real life and I know Toby and Ade are very close in real life as well so I think that definitely plays into how characters are on screen together. Navade is another great example, a big part of their greatness was the connection between Michael and Jlow.

Saw episode 2x04 of Reign, my second one. Lola continues to amaze me with her compassion, courage, and selflessness.

Between Halloween and 2 more amazing fanfics that just came out by my fave fandom author, I'm completely behind on my shows again. At least my current shows I caught up on both B99 and The Following but as far as current shows, I still have yet to watch this week's Arrow, Stalker, How To, Big Bang, and Elementary

Well a big part of what made the show what it is is the partnership between Sherlock and Joan and now not only are they no longer working together but they're barely even on speaking terms and they brought in some random new girl to take Joan's place as Sherlock's partner I'm definitely not happy about that

Yeah, it really sucks. They were living together and then Joan decided to move out at the end of last season, Sherlock was hurt and left town for a while and they picked up the new season saying that he told Joan in a note so now that he's back she won't even talk to him. The whole thing feels so forced because with everything they've been through, that doesn't seem like nearly enough to make them stop talking I could deal with them being at odds for awhile but bringing in some random new girl to try and take Joan's place in Sherlock's life infuriates me. Joan was way more than just Sherlock's partner, she was his lifeline and irreplaceable the whole thing is just a big hot mess so I really hope it won't stay like this for too long.

Who's the new girl? Has she been added to the main cast?

Are Joan/Sherlock dating?

The new girl is played by Ophelia Lovibond, not sure if she's been added to main cast but they expect her to be on for a while

No, Sherlock and Joan never dated, they were just partners and best friends. There were always romantic undertones here and there but nothing ever happened. Not surprising since couples on crime shows usually never actually get together

Sherlock and Joan kind of remind me a bit of like a Dawson/Joey in the sense that they surpass being lovers or friends, they're just connected.

James........we all have our faves. I need to zip my lips.

I remember when half the audience couldn't stand Kenna. Now she has fans, genuine fans, who miss her when she's not in eps. I'm so happy for her character and Bash's.
It kinda reminds me of Jen on Dawson's Creek. She had a small number of fans in season 1 but a lot of detractors. Then they made her less bratty in later seasons and she became more likeable, especially around Jack.

Absolutely. And if it was any other man, I wouldn't be expecting those swoon moments. But Francis can concoct them in his sleep so they can be as awesome as they were very soon. I'm all for angst but that last fight was a punch to the gut. Frary can get through anything, though. Power couples usually do.

Almost everyone wanted to kill or tried to kill him. Francis was just the one to do it. I mean, it's a hard thing to do but protecting the ones you love should count for something and that's what Francis did.

Frary reminds me of Navianna too. I mean you can't fake that onscreen connection when you buy everything that comes out of their mouths. Plus the whole childhood friends become lovers become almost parents. No wonder we love 'em!

Once: Pretty good ep.
