Bad Education ; review




Alright so... I have finally watched Bad Education. I've wanted to watch it for ages but never did (I always forgot it was on...whoops) but I went out with my last lot of pocket money (because I have a job now) and bought the box set. I think that's my last lot of pocket money well spent... My mum doesn't think so but you know.

How did I decide to what it, I hear you ask. Well, I saw it was on Netflix and added it to my list. My friend then came round for my birthday and we watched Jack Whitehall Gets Around I have never laughed so much. (You should watch it, it's great, plus it's on Netflix)
So that was when I realised my love for Jack Whitehall and a month later I have finished watching Bad Education

Before i go into detail about the seasons and the movie, I would like to share with you my favourite joke that Jack Whitehall has told. He did tell it on Jack Whitehall Gets Around but I hadn't watched it before. I saw this clip on Instagram and it was on a Jennifer Lawerance fan account, as she was on The Graham Norton Show with James McAvoy and Jack Whitehall. 
At the time I was a little obsessed with James McAvoy (still am really) because the new X-Men film was due to come out, so I was watching X-Men First Class and scrolling through #JamesMcAvoy on Instagram. (I am not ashamed of this! I am proud to be a fangirl!) A clip came up with Jack Whitehall on, so I un-muted it and replayed it... I have NEVER laughed so much in my life. I was actually crying with laughter because it just kept replaying it, as Instagram does.

Here's the video; please don't die with laughter!



Season 1 ; I feel like this season was the tester. I know that it obviously was. I think it was being careful as to what sort of jokes would sit well with the audience. It was shown on BBC Three at 10pm, so this would be be perhaps 15-40 age range. However not many teens would watch BBC Three. I feel like they were seeing what age range it would attract. Fans of Jack Whitehall would obviously watch it and he has a wide range of fans, but none below 15yrs I would say. Also fans of Mathew Horne, who plays Mr Fraser, might watch it. (My mum likes him, he's also from Gavin and Stacy). 
The first episode of this season, Parents Evening, broke BBC Three's comedy record.
All in all I did laugh at this season and I felt it enjoyable but after watching the others I realised that it wasn't as funny as the others. Which takes me on to season 2.

Season  2 ; For me this season is the best. I really love this season. I'm not sure what it is about this season but I enjoyed it a lot more. I feel like I know the characters a lot better and I can guess what they might do, which makes it even funnier. My favourite episode has to be Swimming Gala. This is the first episode in this season and it has really stuck in my head. There are moments when I think about these episodes and end up laughing for about 10 minutes. I really miss Pickwell in the rest of the season as I really like Michelle Gomez, she really makes me laugh.
This season is my favourite. It made me laugh a lot more. 

Season 3 ; This was a very sad season. I knew that this was the last season and I knew that the class would be leaving at the end of the Season. I have to admit I did enjoy this season too. I didn't like it when Mitchell left and Rem Dogg changed. I missed the 'banter' between Alfie, Mitchell and Rem Dogg, like they had in the first two seasons. However this does show how much people can change. I loved the relationship between Alfie and Grayson by the end and how they became stepbrothers. Once again I missed Pickwell and the 'banter' her and Alfie had. 
When I watched The Prom which was the last episode, I surprised myself when I cried. I wasn't sure why but it was emotional, I mean even Alfie cried! That was a sad episode and I loved how much Alfie loved his kids. I loved how he didn't want to go through it again so he left but then came back thanks to Miss Gulliver. 

The Movie ; I have to admit I didn't like it as much as the TV show. But I still enjoyed the sillyness of Alfie Wickers and his kids. It was like a whole season squished into one. I do have to wonder why they made the film but I am glad they did as we get to see Mitchell and Rem Dogg as their normal selves. I also like how it focused on Alfie and Joe's friendship. I liked how we get to see Joe's mum save the day after being horrible to Alfie throughout the whole film. 
It was a nice, happy way to tie it all off. 


Favourite Episode ; My favourite episode would have to be Sex Education Swimming Gala , The American , Sports Day and The Exam

Favourite Student ; I like all of them, Mitchell reminds me of some boys who used to be in my class and I loved the 'banter' between him and Rem Dogg. I liked Joe was always the honest and innocent one, he reminds me of someone who used to be in my classes at school, (his name was also joe). I adore Chantelle and Stephen's friendship. I liked how Chantelle always flirted with Alfie and he was so quick with saying no to her in different ways each time, I liked at the end of season 3 we discovered why she acted like that and it was very cute. When Stephen and Cleopatra have a little fight is one of the best things. I just love Stephan's attitude. 

Favourite Teacher ; Obviously Alfie Wickers is the best teacher! Everyone wants a teacher like him, I liked how he made a class of all different backgrounds become friends, even with Grayson. I liked the idea of class wars, that would be a really fun way to teach. Like I said everyone wants a teacher like Alfie Wickers. I don't think you'd ever want to miss one of his classes, I know I wouldn't. 
I also liked Pickwell. I liked Michelle Gomez in Doctor Who when she played Missy and I think she's a great actress, she could say the most boring sentence as Pickwell and I would still laugh. 
Besides from Alfie I think my favourite teacher has to be Mr Fraser. Who doesn't want a head teacher like that? I love how he's trying to act the same age as the students but he's at least twice there age. I like how Alfie points out certain things what Fraser does and says. I also like Mathew Horne so...


To conclude I really did love watching Bad Education and I'm even thinking about watching it again!

who did negan kill?

I may be a little behind on doing this but I have been watching sooooo many videos on who Negan could of killed and it seriously is bugging me! Therefore I think I should write something about it. 
I do not read the comics but I do know it's meant to be Glenn that gets Luciled. 

For those of you who are reading this and don't know what I'm going on about... 
The Walking Dead has ended on the biggest cliffhanger! I mean I was all prepared, I was (sort of) ready to say farewell to one of them... But no we now have to wait. 

Here's the full version of when we meet Negan to the point he kills: http://youtu.be/0Wp61qiwUTg 

Honestly the amount of YouTube videos I have watched to try and figure out who got Luciled is honestly ridiculous. I was only going to watch one and then it turned into 2, then 3, then 4 and now I've watched about 20. Each one say a different person!! So now I'm just confused. So very confused.  

However I'm going to say my view on everything because I need to get it all out because when I talk to my parents about it they don't give a shit. 



Here's a list from left to right where everyone is sitting;
-Glenn
-Rosita
-Daryl 
-Michonne 
-Abraham 
-Maggie
-Rick
-Sasha
-Aaron
-Carl
-Eugene 



First of all I don't think it's going to be Rosita because she not a big enough character and some one said on one of the videos that it looks like they are keeping Negans personality the same as the comics and so he respects women. Which is sorta nice... Considering he's a bad guy. 

It's not going to be Maggie. She looks like she's going to die anyway. Plus he wouldn't be a good villian if he tries to prove a point by killing a sick woman. 

We can rule out Rick and Carl. Negan said "if anybody moves, if anybody says anything, cut the boys other eye out and feed it to his father" he looks to the left as he referred to Carl, maybe signalling that Carl is near his left but then he also looks to his right when he refers to Rick. This may mean that the person who is killed is in the middle of Rick and Carl or I could be done on purpose. Why would he stop beating the shit out of Carl's head to take his eye out and feed it to Rick. The sight of Carl getting his head bashed in would be bad enough. But I definitely think Rick and Carl are safe. Also I'm going to make a point that I'll keep referring to it that the person who does get Luciled has nothing effecting their vision. And clearly Carl has a fairly big thang (sorry had to) in the way... I mean he only has one eye, plus hair in his face and a hat on. Also Rick has hair in front of his face.



Now let's talk about who has something that effects there vision. Let's look at who has hair in their face: 
 

Glenn, Maggie, Michonne, Carl, Rick and Daryl all have hair in front of their eyes. 
On the POV shots nothing was in the way of their eyes. 

I've already talked about Rick and Carl, there is no way it's them, plus there is Negans and Carl's relationship to develop. (I saw it in a headline) 

Many people are saying it's going to be Michonne as Rick needs to be emotionally harmed. Plus the POV from when Rosita, Michonne, Glenn and Daryl are in the van it looks like it could be Michonne POV as we see Daryl's head pop up and the only person behind him is Michonne. I don't think it's going to be Michonne (more praying). Plus do you really think Negan will say "taking it like a champ" to a woman? 

This brings me onto Daryl. Do you really think he's going to be "taking it like a champ"? I don't think so. He may be a bad ass but not when you've been:
Shot in the shoulder,
Lost a lot of blood 
And dehydrated. 
Plus he looks like he's going to collapse at any second as well as Maggie. 
Rosita is also in a similar position, she looks very dehydrated plus the same thing applies, I don't think Negan would call Rosita a champ. 

There is a possibility that Glenn could take it "like a champ" but I highly doubt it. He is also dehydrated. He has a lot of adrenaline running through his body after seeing Maggie after so long, but seeing her in pain and not knowing what's going on. Plus after Negan threaten to kill her (but we know he won't). I think it will be unlikely that he would take it like a champ. I could be wrong. I also think it would be too obvious to kill Glenn, as the comic book fans will be expecting it. 
Robert Kirkman said he never liked to write the same thing again. Which we know as he's changed things a lot, most recently Denise taking the fall for Abraham. Perhaps Kirkman wanted to keep Abraham for the upcoming war, as he has military experience. 

Who has nothing impairing there vision? ... 


I've already said that I don't think it's Rosita as she's not only a minor character but also Negan respects woman and he's not proving anything by killing women, which also links to Michonne and Sasha. 

Negan's speech at the end right before he he kills he says "you can breath" he looks to the right "you can blink" looks to his left, this could be aimed at Carl, as he's only got one eye and he previously said something to Carl to make fun, "you can cry" looks to the left again, maybe to Sasha as in close ups she definitely looks as though she is crying or is about to. 

Eugene could be a possibility as he has already handed over plans to help make bullets and stuff. Also he's already said goodbye to them. However he has a black eye. But I still think he could be a possibility as he has become a "survivor" and he has tried to stay strong. 
One thing that has altered my thought out him being the one who gets Luciled is that he will not be taking a bash to the head like a champ. Can you remember when Abraham hit him and he was out cold for hours? (That was pretty funny, when he just fell to the floor). I just think it's highly unlikely that he'll take a hit to the head with a bat wrapped in barbed wire like a champ.

On to Aaron. Greg Nicotero posted a photo of a wax figure of Daryl, then took it down. In the background of this picture was an in progress sculpture of what looked like Aaron. What does this mean? Maybe he's the one killed by Negan... Or he's just a little later on and they are planning ahead.
Aaron is brave, I'll give him that. He would be missed but his boyfriend and perhaps Maggie. But. He has not had enough character development to have a huge (like if Glenn dies) impact on the audience like yes he's a cool character but he's a minor one. It's took big of a cliffhanger to just have Aaron killed. 

Now Abraham. I absolutely love Abraham! But in my opinion I think it's him. He's the only one I can imagine to "take it like a champ", also I could imagine him saying something to Negan to provoke him. Plus Abraham is the biggest threat to Negan at this point. Look at the size of him! 
This now brings me onto the slowed down audio. 
You need to listen/ watch it to understand, if you haven't already.

It is suggested that Glenn says "mag-". This does sound like him, does not mean he is killed. It could be Abraham as he's a big guy and if he falls on Maggie while she's that weak. Not good. Glenn is going to be concerned about his wife...obviously. 
Next is: 
Maggie - "GLENN!"
Abraham - "GLENN!"
Carl (possibly) - "no!" 

This does not mean it's Glenn. Remember Negan said not to move. Abraham could be the one he hit, to me it's the highest possibility. Abraham could of said/ shouted this as he may have tried to move to get to Maggie, while Abraham's getting his head smacked it to make sure no one else gets hurt. Does Abraham really seem to be the type of guy to scream out if someone's getting killed? 
This also may be the reason for Carl's "no". 
Some people have said that the audio isn't real. They somehow match the way Maggie screamed Glenn's name to the same scream from when he tried to save her when the walkers got into Alexandria. 

One of the writers/ producers have said that the person didn't even know it was going to be, so how can they be screaming the name of who died if, when they were filming it, the person didn't know themselves. Maybe Glenn did try and move. Maybe that's why they are saying his name. 
On a YouTube video someone said it would be too much to make this audio real as they would have to bring in each actor to scream and say what they said in the clip as the actors weren't there when the scene was shot. Another reason why the audio might not be real?

Trying to work out the "eni mene minee moo" (don't know how you spell it) part is a dead end. He starts with Rick then gets round to Daryl and then goes all over the place. Also trying to count how many each person had a bat in their face that we saw without the POV shot is just too confusing.

I also forgot to mention Negan's shadow crossing over Rick's face before he chooses his victim. This may suggest the person is too Rick's left, or could mean they are trying to confuse us once again. Another is that there are trees behind Negan, I don't know what this would mean because they could all see the RV in front of them. Glenn would also have a car in front of him. Maybe the director did this on purpose so we wouldn't know who it is? This is most likely. Everything doesn't seem to be going well for Glenn in the scene which makes me feel like it won't be him. But he'll probably just crawl under the RV. 

 To conclude, I think without all the evidence I've said I would say Glenn. With the evidence I'm going to say Abraham or Aaron (I'll be slightly annoyed if it was him though), still possibly Glenn though.

LITTLE MIXs GET WEIRD TOUR

M A R C H  23rd 2016 came around and I was ready to GET WEIRD with Little Mix!
The curtain that was up when while we were waiting for Little Mix

I have thought to myself that I would write a review on the Get Weird Tour. I never knew you could actually write a review on a show but now I do... and I am going to do one so....
HERE WE GO

Wednesday 23rd March 2016 at the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham (formally the Capital FM Arena Nottingham), Little Mix were there to bring the magic.
It had come around so fast and I was so happy it did!
I have seen them before 2 years ago when they came to Nottingham for their Salute Tour and I'm not ashamed to say this but I did cry through the whole show for that tour. Luckily this time I didn't cry all the way through but yes, I did cry...

I have to admit I was VERY surprised at how close we were, we were right in the middle of the floor, which was awesome. BUT one tinny thing I always forget is that I'm sort of small so I did have a wee bit of trouble seeing but I'm used to it.

So I didn't take any pictures of the first support act but there name was JAGMAC. Now I did like there voices but, and I know it wasn't really there fault, they had sound malfunction so they had to do 2 acapellas. 

Nathan Sykes performing
Next was Nathan Sykes. I have to apologize for the bad quality of picture... I was close ish but I still had to use the zoom so most of the pictures may be like this.
On the bright side he was so good! He bought a women up on stage and then she got ENGAGED! They stayed up on stage and danced to 'Over and Over Again'. It was the cutest thing ever. 
However if it happened to me I think I would be so embarrassed but that's just me.


8:05pm came and Nathan went off stage and we then had to wait about half an hour for Little Mix. They were playing music videos before to help the time go quicker. Some people sang along to the music playing. THEN 'Black Magic' music video came on and the whole arena began to sing along and I thought Yeah they'll come on after this but they didn't. 
Half way through a music video the music stops but the lights don't go down like normal. On the screens they were showing us in the crowd, sadly I didn't get shown, while they played Beyonce 'Run the World (Girls)'. We all sang along waiting to see ourselves.
The song ended. 
The lights went down. 
The arena exploded with screams and music began. Out jumped Little Mix from the floor, with harnesses on so they went extra high. 
Little Mix's Get Weird Tour Setlist
There costumes were so bright and would sparkle when the lights hit them, which was all the time as lights were always on them. 

So here are two videos i uploaded to my YouTube channel: 

The first one is Change Your Life. I had planned to record all of this song as it means a lot to me and it did get me through some hard times in school.

The second one is Little Me. Again this really helped me and it made me a little more confident. 
The reason I wanted to have these videos is so when I'm sad or feeling a little down, or just had a bad I can just play these and I can remember the concert and be reminded to be... Me.

Michael Clifford
I only have one thing that I didn't like... was during Lightning and DNA they had the fake flame effect. I am also a fan of 5SOS (5 Seconds of Summer) and when Michael Clifford got injured by one, I didn't like them anymore. Also Calum Hood burnt his arm on one but it wasn't as bad.
Little Mix weren't close to it but obviously it looked like it from the crowds point of view. 

My friend, who went with me, said that it was too long. I can see where she is coming from, they sang a lot of songs and had a few breaks. I think it was the breaks that make it seem longer but they have them to change there outfits. 

There was a project that went on where you had to hold up a heart during Wings. Not a lot of people did it which was a shame. Or they could of done and I didn't notice.
I only caught 2 pieces of confetti and I was more protective over them while trying to get out of the arena than my phone or keeping up with my friend. 


So to finish off I have included my snapchat story from the concert its not the whole concert, it was really just Nathan Sykes and maybe the opening of Little Mix. Enjoy. 
Sorry if you can hear me singing, I'm a good singer I swear...

ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

Trailer review! 




ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS has released another trailer and I have decided to talk about it! 
I absolutely loved the first film, the colours and the consumes where AMAZING! 

So here's the trailer for Alice Through the Looking Glass:

Here's another trailer that has been released:

So that was bloody brilliant! I have waited for this for a very very long time! 
When I first found out that they were doing another I was over the moon. And I have been waiting ever since for this to happen. It feels like it's taken so long, and I know it takes a while to make films. But I guess that what makes it more exciting, waiting for the first trailer to be released and then the film! However sometimes you can feel disappointed, perhaps not by the trailer but by the actual film…

Out of the 2 trailers attached my favorite is the second. I'm not really sure why, maybe because its new. I like the music too.
I have a thing about soundtracks to films. Obviously the sound is as equally as important as whats on the screen.

So what I noticed straight away is that the colours have slightly changed. Perhaps this is something to do with Tim Burton not directing this time. But it thing it is also to show how time has passed since Alice's last visit. Especially now the White Queen is you know... Queen. 
I think this is one of the reasons why I love these films so much. The colours.

I feel like the colours play a part in transporting you into the world of wonderland. The costumes and make-up, and colours of them, make you believe in wonderland and I really feel like when I watch this film and the new trailer that I am being transported into another world, just through the colours. I know it sounds a bit weird but I do feel this way. The colours of the film are so bright, weird and wonderful, that it feels like another world.

To me, I don't feel like the trailer has given much away. Obviously it has given things away but there are so many questions that are left open for the audience to wonder about until the film. I for one are SOOOOOOOOO excited to see it. 

I'm even thinking about pre-booking my tickets so I can see it on May 27th when it comes out.
One thing I have always wanted to go to is the very first showing and normally that's at midnight, or just after. What some cinemas do is, if the new film is following one from the another, they will show the one before and then the new one. One of the things I defiantly wan to do is this.
Or go to a premier, to see the actors and directors there, even dress up. That would be awesome.
Or go to Comic-Con. This is my ultimate goal to do. Go to America and go to Comic-Con, just like they did in the movie called Paul

Anyway...

I seriously can not wait for ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS its going to be amazing! 

Alice Through the Looking Glass is in cinema's May 27th

#GETWELLSOONDYLAN


GET WELL SOON DYLAN O'BRIEN 
So this is just a quick post from my phone as I just wanted to say that I hope he's okay and that he'll make a speedy recovery...

The media has said that he fell of the set of a broken train, while filming for The Death Cure, and then hit/run over by a car. He has multiple injuries but is said to make a speedy recovery. 
So this is from Kaya Scodelario and I'm going to go on her word not the media medias as they always make it sound worse than it actually is. 
James Dansner has now cleared things up… I will take there word for it not the medias…

GET WELL SOON DYLAN!!! Love you lots!


Only a quick post to stop me from worrying and stuff... Thanks for reading

THE MAZE RUNNER


T H E  M A Z E  R U N N E R was released in 2014 and is based on the novel by James Dashner. As you know from my previous post on Teen Wolf, I was going to be doing a post about The Maze Runner. I have been waiting to do it for a while! So here it is!! You all know how I came across The Maze Runner (Nash Grier mentioned it in one of his vids) and I saw another article that asked questions about some things in the film, so I decided to answer them... There aren't many questions so I'll give you a little bit of info before I start.


  • Director: Wes Ball
  • Stars: Dylan O'Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Will Poulter, Thomas Brodie-Sangster
  • Release Date: September 2014
Once again I have only put 4 people who star in it because we'll be here forever reading through the cast list. However if you want to here's IMDb


So...

The questions that people may not understand. In these answers I will be referring to the book and I think if you are a little confused, I recommend reading the books. 

How did Gally follow Thomas and the others after they left the Maze?

When I watched the film I didn't even wonder how Gally got there, I just assumed it was by magic.......
OR that he followed Thomas in there to try and get them back but once reading the book I understand.

A griever
A N S W E R : What the film missed out was that at night, which the doors where close to closing anyway when Thomas and the others left, Grievers (creatures that roam the maze at night) came into the Glade and took him into the maze. Where Gally obviously fought to survive. 

Gally played by Will Poulter and his amazing eyebrows

Why did he want to kill Thomas all though they had escaped?

I cried a lot in the scene... I still cry when I watch it now although I've watched it over (way over) 50 times...

A N S W E R : In the 3rd book you are told by Gally (SPOILER yes he's alive) the reason as to why he tried to kill Thomas but killed Chuck. Chuck jumped in front of Thomas. But its not all it seems. The group thinks he had been stung by a Griever, however he was not. It was, of course, W.C.K.D. They are able to control them, but you only find this out in the 3rd book! He was forced to say and do all of those things. If you think that was wicked (see what I did there) the also controlled Chuck to make him jump in front of Thomas. Personally I believe they did this to drive Thomas and the group. To give meaning as to why they want to leave. 

If W.C.K.D is meant to be good, then why make it sound like 'wicked'?   

In the second film you understand what the name means 'World Catastrophe Killzone Department'. 

A N S W E R : In the book the real name is W.I.C.K.E.D. Which stands for 'World In Catastrophe Killzone Experiment Department'.
I think they changed it in the films for a reason. It would make it too obvious what they were doing when they were told the real name of W.C.K.D. They can't really help what there abbreviation of the name sounds like but there is again meaning to it. James Dashner defiantly meant it (obviously). I also think that one of the reasons behind it is so you trust them even less, even in the first film.


Why didn't the helicopter rescue the boys from inside the Glade? 
(Some of) The Glade

The Glade is where all the boys live and the maze surrounds it. 

A N S W E R : The helicopter didn't land in the maze as it would defeat the object of the test or phase 1 as Ava Paige calls it. There are lots of dead bodies where they are supposed to be controlling the maze and that was also part of the plan, which is to make them believe that they are safe. 

They possibly had something else to monitor them to see when to send the people in to 'save' them. As they needed everything to work out properly, according to the plan.


Why did Thomas and Minho try to save Alby if he was already stung?

That was a gripping moment when Thomas ran in the maze. But this whole scene is different to the book and the whole concept of getting stung. 

A N S W E R : In the book they already have the serum, which doesn't cure the flare, it cures whats in the Grievers sting. Which is similar but not the same (I would imagine). And also most of the Gladers are immune to the Flare which is why they are apart of the experiment. In the book they have to get Alby back to the Medjacks (doctors of the Glade if you like) so they can give him the serum. They know it works as Gally has gone through the Changing (which is what they call it when you've been stung, you get some of your memories back), also explaining why hes so cranky all the time. 
Kaya, Will and Dylan

In the film however, that's really up to you to decide. I like to believe its apart of Thomas' personality. He can't just stand around and watch someone get trapped in the maze, so he has to do SOMETHING to try and prevent it. Also its not just Alby in the maze its Minho. Minho has just spent all day running through the maze and now he will have to run all night to try and survive, which isn't likely as no one has ever survived a night in the maze. He wants to help Minho too.
The Maze Runner cast dancing as per usual

TEEN WOLF


T E E N  W O L F  season 5 has come to a close. I am truly sad about this, I have no clue what I will be doing on Wednesday mornings without Teen Wolf. I really did give me motivation in the morning to get up...

Information on Teen Wolf:

  • Creator: Jeff Davis
  • Stars: Tyler Posey, Dylan O'Brien and Holland Roden
  • Tyler, Dylan and Holland
  • Summary: A teen called Scott (Tyler Posey) is attacked by a werewolf and inherits the curse on himself, along with the enemies that will come along with it. However he will not fight them alone, his pack will help him, but not all of them are werewolves. 
  • Channel Aired On: MTV
I have only listed 3 stars, there are so many more cast members in the show, however, these 3 amazing people are the only 3 to be in all 5 seasons. (Also meaning they're the highest paid). I have also attempted to summarize 5 whole seasons into one. With the help of the amazing website IMDb. 
Some of you reading this may think "Oh god its just a stupid teenager show" BUT you are mistaken! Yes this is based on teenagers, the only difference is its not like Twilight (no offence to Twilight lovers I am one myself). Yes there are love stories in this but that is what every TV show/Movie needs right? 
This show does start off very happy and the villains aren't that hard to defeat, until Season 3. When Season 3 hits, it becomes much darker and sadder...

How did I come across it?
I was watching one of Nash Grier's videos on YouTube and he mentioned a book called The Maze Runner, he also the film was coming out. I thought "ooo sounds interesting" so I looked at the trailer. LOVED IT!! So then I became obsessed (well not obsessed but fangirly), but that is for another time. Nash also mentioned Dylan O'Brien. I was like "Who's that" so I googled him. I had already seen The Internship with him in it, but I watched it again and I came across Teen Wolf. I was a little obsessed with Twilight at the time... I searched Teen Wolf on my TV and there it was on catch up. BUT only the second season. I decided to watch it anyway... Conclusion: I WAS IN LOVE! And this all happened before The Maze Runner was out...

The sad news is I can no longer watch it on TV as it doesn't get shown in England (I think I got lucky watching it on TV the first time). Therefor I do have to watch it online. However Jeff (the creator) knows that a lot of us fans in the UK (or anywhere that's not the US) watch it like this. 
I have signed a petition online to get it shown here...


As we have come the the end of season 5 (try not t cry) I decided to dedicate this post to them...

I googled Teen Wolf before writing this and one article that stood out was from MTV and it asked "Who Was Lydia's 'Teen Wolf' Savior: Parrish or Stiles?" 

This is what I wanted to talk about. I haven't read the article only the question. The reason being is that I want to answer it with my own views and not be influenced by the ideas in the article (Don't worry I will add the article link in at the end). 


One of my favorite moments on the show
Season 5 Episode 16. Lydia was finally saved from Eichen House. Stiles came up with the plan to get her out. Or 2 plans. Plan A, which never works, and Plan B. Along with Stiles going into Eichen House to save her, the rest of the pack do too, Scott, Liam, Kira and Malia. Stiles can not do it alone, he's only human (literally the only human left in Beacon Hills). 
Stiles finds Lydia with the help of not only the pack but Theo (a bad guy, don't trust him..He's hot but he's an ass). 

This is then where Parrish comes in. But first a little more back story...
Lydia has had a hole drilled through her head, this is to amplifier her powers of a Banshee. None of the other Banshees Dr. Valack has done this too survived. They were consumed by there power. 

Okay so this is where Parrish is NEEDED. He is a Hellhound. Both Banshee's and Hellhound's are linked supernaturally to death. This means that the Hellhound inside of Parrish knew that Lydia's scream right before she would be consumed fully by her power, would cause A LOT of damage. To prevent this Parrish wrapped his whole body around her just in time to 'muffle' the scream. Ultimately saving her too.  
The reason I said the Hellhound inside of Parrish is because they aren't fully aware of each other, they aren't connected in a way.

So now you are probably thinking "then Parrish saved her" there is one detail I have not told you...

Stiles plan to get them into Eichen house was through body bags, as the hospital was shut down and the only place to store bodies was Eichen House. However Eichen House knows all the Deputies therefor they needed a real one. Can you guess who Stiles chose? Parrish, to drive the van. Also I think that the reason Stiles chose Parrish was not only because his dad would say no to the idea but he knew that the only way to stop the scream from a Banshee was a Hellhound. Making sure Parrish was in the right place at the right time, just in case anything went wrong. Which it did as Theo's pack turned up... It's a good job he did otherwise Stiles wouldn't of been able to find Lydia in the tunnels. 

THEREFOR... my conclusion is that it was really Stiles who saved Lydia, Because without Stiles' well thought out plans, they wouldn't of been in the right place at the right time. But I can also understand how it was a group effort with Stiles as the brains if you like... 

Lydia was saved and she is safe and sound until season 6. God help us all...the feels!!!

LEO HAS AN OSCAR!!!

 
Finally after many years, Leonardo DiCaprio has an Oscar! 
I am so happy for him, he deserves this. 
His speach was incredible, he used his voice to speak for those who haven't got one. He also talked about the environment, he used his big moment to talk about global warming, so people would listen. He really does deserve this award. 
Congratulations Leo!

Thanks for reading! See you soon!

#FREEKESHA

This shouldn't even be a debate.

This is disgusting. I do not want to live in a world where the government tell me if something has happened to me or not. 

This started when Kesha was 18 years old. Kesha is now 28 years old. 10 years. 10 years far too long!

"The judge apparently sided with Dr. Luke after hearing how the producer invested $60 million in Kesha's career and that he allowed the singer to make music without his involvement. 'That decimates your argument,' the judge told Kesha and her counsel. 'My instinct is to do the commercially reasonable thing'" - The Daily Beast  

How does this decide ? Doesn't matter how much money he invested it doesn't make what he did right. She is not asking for the man who assulted her to go to jail. She doesn't want to work with him. THAT IS ALL!

Here's Dylan Evans' video that explains my views perfectly:

They want people to come forward but do they really think they will NOW? 
Why shouldn't Kesha be allowed out of a contract. Zayn Malik was let out of his contract for being unhappy. Just unhappy. But Kesha can't get out of a contract for rape. How wrong and twisted could you be! 
Well Said Lady Gaga 

Spread the word on social media #FREEKESHA

Missy Or The Master


 
Missy or The Master? Doctor Who is known for its villains but the Master/ Missy is slightly different as he/she is a Time Lord just like the Doctor.
The Doctor and the Master/ Missy were once friends however after a "fallout" the Master developed an enormous hate for the Doctor and often seeked out to kill him.
I am only really talking about John Simm's portrayal of the Master which was when David Tennent was the Doctor (my favorites along with Matt Smith). 
David Tennent as the Doctor and John Simm as the Master 
Favorite Episode: My favorite episode with the Master has to be The Sound of Drums. I find the episode quite funny. My favorite scene has to be this one:


I've always had a slight crush on the Master, I just couldn't help it. I love how funny he is especially when he gasses the people and he's just got a mask on with his thumbs up. I die with laughter when I watch it.

Saddest Episode: The saddest episode of Doctor who was The End of Time part 2 it is when the 10th Doctor regenerates and he goes and visits his past companions. I cry so much at that but I can't find the full clip on YouTube. 
Although it doesn't directly involve the Master I still thought I should add it in.
Also this is the last episode we see the Master for a while...

A couple years later... 

Peter Capaldi's 12th Doctor is faced with his enemy once again. But this time The Master has a new face and new name...MISSY short for MISTRESS. I was very confused with Missy's first appearance I didn't have a clue why she was so important in the story. Once I knew I didn't really like her that much. Until...

The Witch's Familiar Season 9 Episode 2. This was my all time favorite Peter Capaldi episode of the Doctor. This was when I really liked Missy too. I laugh all the time when I watch it, not just because Missy makes me laugh but also because the Doctor does too. 
The Doctor is trapped on Skaro, the Doctor is at the heart of the Dalek empire, thinking Clara is dead, he has lost hope. But has Missy has saved Clara and is willing to help Clara save the Doctor. 

I loved the little jokes they put in in this episode and I also loved how we saw Missy 'helping'. Everything that Missy said made me giggle and I think she is AWESOME! It made me laugh when he was dancing when the Dalek's were demanding where Clara was. Or her obsession with her stick...

12th Doctor in Davros' chair and with no hope...
One thing I cried laughing at was when the Doctor came through the door in Davros' chair and asked if anyone was up for dodgems. To be honest you couldn't imagine any other Doctor doing this. 

 


Missy or The Master?

In my opinion my favorite has got to be Missy! I like her humor, sarcasm. I also like how she is now a Time Lady, she's got the "upgrade" as she put it in The Witch's Familiar.
Here are a few quotes of hers that I like:
  • "I love killing clever clogs, they make the best faces" 
  • "Oh, pity, really. I was actually quite peckish"
  • "Make your own stick"
  • "In future, if your going to take my stick, do me the favor of actually killing me with it. Teamwork is all about respect"
  • "Interestingly, the Dalek word for sewer is the same word as their word for graveyard"
  • "Murdering a Dalek, I'm a Time Lady, its our golf"
  • "Nobody hates like a Dalek" 
All these quotes are from The Witch's Familiar.

Who's your favorite? Missy or The Master?

Thanks for reading! See you soon!
