Talkie Tuesday: Crisis on Infinite Earths

"There was an end ... and there is a beginning.

Thank you, Oliver."

Hello everyone!

Still with me here? Have all your memories, and know Lex Luthor is a bad, bad cookie?

Or are you one of those multitude of numbers who believe he's the Nobel prize winner that he portrays himself to be nowadays?

A lot of things have changed in the Multiverse since the antimatter hit it, and tonight, we're going to be looking at just WHAT happened when it did, and right afterwards.

If you're unfamiliar with the word, hello and welcome to tonight's blog post, in which we try to summarise some of our thoughts over the Crisis in general, come to terms with facts about certain shows, hopefully save the Multiverse from disappearing entirely, and say goodbye.

Yes, it's going to be that kind of blog post.

After all, even though there's been multiple times a crisis has hit our heroes before, none have been on the scale of what took place between December and January on the CW network.

Crisis on Infinite Earths has come.

Talkie Tuesday: Justice League

"This isn't the plan. This is the team."

Hello everyone!

So, fun fact: I'm only slowly getting into the DCEU. Probably because DC is a little bit on the slower side when it comes to their movie franchise as opposed to Marvel that's currently way, way into the MCU. 

That being said, however, I again state that I'm not someone who's going to play favourites and go from one camp to the other trying to infuriate people.

I really don't care about this so called "rivalry". I like Thor but I also like Superman, so if I want to watch both movies and see Chris Hemsworth and Henry Cavill rocking it on screen, well, that's about everything that should be said on the matter.

Still, it took me a little bit to get to the hero team-up DC dreamed up as their answer for the Avengers. I think I'm still jaded after trying - and failing - with Batman vs Superman.

Wonder Woman restored my faith somewhat though and I figured I might as well give Justice League a try, too.

Synopsis Saturday: Crisis on Earth-X

"Oh you've GOT to be kidding me."

Hello everyone!

As promised back on Tuesday, here's my contribution to all the different reviews rolling around online about this week's MASSIVE, four-episode cross-over event that the CW gave to the fans with a little help from DC. 

Then again, the mothership, aka Arrow, has probably been aiming for this kind of thing since its premiere six years ago.

Boy, was it action-packed!

Also at times fluffy, adorable, hilarious, OMG-inspiring, and above all uncontrollably fun.

I'm sure this has been said many times before and at different spots, but when it comes to working together and bringing a show-stopper to their audience, the cast and crew of each of the four shows (Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl) really bring their A-game to make sure no nook and cranny is left unexplored.

Of course only Americans would come up with the idea of Nazis for enemies #1, but oh well.

Crisis on Earth-X, here we go!

Talkie Tuesday: Season Finales

"Who's turn is it, anyway?"

Hello everyone!

This week's blog post is going to be slightly different as I forgot, just a tiny bit, about a promise I made to write it all out once the regular shows in season through the year came to a close. Well, they've certainly been on hiatus now, and still no post from me! 

You'd think by now I'd learn to actually make note of what I should or shouldn't write.

Nope. Not me.

In any event, after reliving through Pirates 5 in the beginning of the week, it's time to turn my attentions somewhat closer to the smaller screens again. This post will not, in fact, delve into all the details about what happened during each season finale I'll be talking about, but it will certainly give you enough information to go look them up if you feel inclined to watch, and haven't already!

Come to think of it I may rewatch some of them, just because they were so amazing ...

Saturday Talkie Tuesday: Shadowhunters 2A

"This is the hunt."

Hello everyone! 

So this week, admittedly, has not been the best in terms of what I'm doing on my blog and which posts I'm typing up for anyone who's reading this. I do apologise. I promise, this Tuesday is going to be back to normal with the review when it's supposed to be, although if it's true and there's a musical cross-over happening between Supergirl and The Flash, I may just have to review that one instead of a movie!

But I digress.

What happened this week was that Shadowhunters had its winter finale and OH MY GOSH everyone, but can I just say how amazing this show is?!

I never would have imagined it after a slightly rocky start in season one, but they're firing on all cilinders now and the only bad thing about it that I can think of is, well, that it's been broken up into two halves.

Season 2A has just finished, but we aren't getting to see 2B before JUNE.

That's right, JUNE. So, let's review what we know of Shadowhunters so far, okay?

DCs Cross-over Event: Heroes v Aliens

"Best. Team-up. EVER."

Hello everyone!

So, like I promised this past Tuesday, I switched up the line-up for my blog posts because of the awesome and amazing thing that was happening during the week. Because why would I want to spend a long time developing and writing a blog post about a movie that can wait when we had that cross-over to look forward to?

Okay, yes, heads up, I'm a DC comics fan. And a Marvel fan.

I am firmly convinced you can like both and not have to glare daggers at either camps because, let's face it, all the superheroes and villains in there are for our entertainment.

They probably wouldn't want to be the cause of disputes (if they were real!).

But then I can totally hear Mick Rory already snarling a very trademark 'Speak for yourself!'

Anyway, as you can tell, I'm a fan, I geeked out this week while it was happening, and now that it's over and done with I can finally review it!

Beam me up, Scotty!

DC's Cross-over Event!

Hello everyone!

As this week marks CW's DC Cross-over Event, which spans four episodes of four shows, I decided not to do my usual movie review. 

Instead, on Saturday, I'll be posting a combined recap of ALL FOUR shows, just to see what CW has done with them! I hope you enjoy this week just as much as I'm already enjoying it.

Tome Thursday: The Flame and the Flower

Hello everyone!

I'm just off the Arrow / Flash crossover for this season, and I'm so happy with that fact. Also happy that they promised to make it a yearly event because they can see that fans enjoy this type of thing. So yay to that!

But I also had to think about which book to write into the blog post, and I've been bouncing in the sci-fi world for a while now so I figured I'd try something else again.

Into my trusty notebook we go, and I remember that, whenever I'm out of ideas as to what to read, or better whenever I honestly just need a break from every other story and whatever else happens in there, I turn to Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, because she tends to supply all my needs for some romance, history, and a general relaxation.

At least, it was until I got to the book that established her as a historic romance writer and introduced this genre to the world.

I'm talking about The Flame and the Flower.

Finale week, part 2

Hello everyone!

No 'Tome Thursday' tonight I'm afraid seeing as I was still catching up on the series that only finished this week, namely Dancing with the Stars and The Flash.

Let's talk dancing first. Now, last week, Derek and Nastia got eliminated, which to me was disappointing given that although I like Noah and I think he's a sweetheart, I don't think he had what it took for the finale. Also, we missed out on what would probably have been a fantastic freestyle by Derek this season, and the others were sort of lack-lustre for me. Still, I'm happy for Rumer and Val on their win, even though they were so priming the show for that, with the whole comparison to the big brother thing and mirroring what Maks had with Meryl back in season 18. Oh well, another one bites the dust!

And now The Flash. Can I just say OMG really fast? And loud? I mean ... I did NOT see that coming. Okay, first off, I didn't see the good guys actually going for Thawne's idea with the accelerator and all that, because either way HE wins, not the good guys. But I mean, drama, right? Right. I cried so bad during the goodbye scenes (Joe and Barry anyone? Anyone?!) and the scene between grown-up Barry and his mother. The FEELS! But what got me the most was Eddie. Dear, brave, heroic Eddie ... I think he was everyone's hero this week. I'm worried about the wormhole though, but we did get glimpses of what's to come, and I'm stoked because we still get to somehow see Eddie in season two. That's already been confirmed.

Also coming to a CW near you are the Legends of Tomorrow, and I can't wait for this new show season!

Talkie Tuesday: Finale week, part 1

Hello everyone!

So I'm back, and still reeling from some of the final twists the shows had in store for us for the ending of their respective seasons, and guess what? All of the ones I watch have been renewed! It's one of those moments that require a victory dance, or better yet, the Carlton! So, before we dive into the actual finale short&sweet recaps, here you go:

Synopsis Saturday: Thanksgiving and Carlton

Hello everyone!

So something apparently went wrong yesterday while I was trying to upload this blog, but oh well, I guess I'm just a couple of hours late for some even though it's been Sunday for a while on my end. 

Before I forget, happy Thanksgiving to everyone across the pond who celebrates it!

Thanksgiving week also means that all the shows which I usually watch weren't airing, only the beginning kicked off but the others are coming back next week (or the week after, depending on how much of a break they're taking).

Now, to business!

Synopsis Saturday: clandestine operations, irony and John Diggle

Hello everyone!

It's Saturday, and that means the second synposis since this blog started. Luckily, this week was still full with shows, because as of the next one, a lot of them are taking a week (or two) of a break, which means I'll get some air to breathe inbetween keeping up with the lot I watch, if nothing else! It was an action-packed week on every single episode it would seem, but SO much good writing that I was sitting on the edge of my seat almost all the time. Awesome!

This week saw a newbie make its debut, so I'm going to start the review with the new kid on the block, State of Affairs.

Katherine Heigl, State of Affairs, NBC

Synopsis Saturday: dance elimination, Inhumans and religious conflicts

Hello everyone!

It's time for the first synopsis of this blog! As I've mentioned before, I watch a lot of TV shows during their regular airing schedules, although granted since I live in Slovenia I have to watch them differently than on actual TV, since we don't have the channels. I'm going to briefly review/comment on the episodes I watched this week, providing you with links to each show as I go.
