Mary: “I put my trust in you, my Lord.”
The Reign is officially over…
Join me in my humble review of the finale…
Reign: 4x15 “Blood in the Water”
Mary: "We are still family. And what is family in this dark and bitter world, but a glimmer of light in the distance?"The sound you’re hearing right now is me rolling my eyes….
I can not believe this was a penultimate episode….
Reign: 4x14 “A bride. A box. A body.”
Narcisse: “Everyone will
pay… in their own way.”
Well, that was a good enough episode if we were somewhere in the middle
of the road… but it was most certainly unacceptably weak now, when the end is
nigh…
Reign: 4x13 “Coup de Grace”
Gideon: “Setting aside your
personal feelings for the good of your country.”
When did Narcisse became the
sane one?
Reign: 4x12 “The Shakedown”
Henry: “In my experience, I've
found it best to wait for an advantage before I strike.”
Dear Lord, seems, like we'll be waiting for ever. Despite the ‘shakedowns’, both
literal and metaphorical, we haven’t moved an inch….
Reign: 4x11 “Dead of Night”
“That was bloody good; tense, unexpected, and interesting.” That was
my first thought, when the episode ended. That and how much I’m going to miss Reign.
Reign: 4x10 “A Better Man”
“This is worse than I feared.”
Yep. I’m right there with you, Catherine! This was a waste of time in
royal proportions! That doesn’t mean the hour was a total disaster, I did enjoy
only about a third of it.
Reign: 4x09 “Pulling Strings”
Mary: “Fate's twists and turns may
surprise you.”
Well, well… the wedding has finally
happened and in the most beautiful fashion… heavenly gorgeous bride, drunk into
oblivion groom… what’s not to love?
Reign: 4x08 “Uncharted Waters”
Lord Bothwell: “Darnley will be
your undoing.”
Pirates and boat rides. Prophecies and desires of hearts. Treasures and
all sorts of other sparks…. This was a useless, but very enjoyable hour. Read
on.
Reign: 4x07 “Hanging Swords”
Catherine: “We all enjoy a vacation
from reality… occasionally.”
I struggle to understand what this episode was about. Suddenly Reign traveled to fairy tale land and
became even more unrealistic and… do we really have time for this?
Grimm: 6x13 “The End”
Eve: “Everything has a beginning
and an end.”
Here it is, my last ever review of Grimm…..
Grimm: 6x12 “Zerstörer Shrugged”
Wu: “We're all doomed.”
Well, we are almost at the end of the road…
Reign: 4x06 “Love and Death”
Catherine: “My dear... watching
someone you love share their body with another poisons the heart.”
Love and death always go hand in hand. That could be said about any
episode of Reign, really. This one
was no exception - some hearts found love, some where horribly crashed. Giving
someone reign over your heart is the most marvelous thing that could happen; it
might also be THE deadliest. I am going to review this episode by couples
since it seems to be the only appropriate way.
Reign: 4x05 “Highland Games”
I won't deny you your happiness. I
release you from this marriage.
I am not quite clear on what exactly this episode was about. For an hour
called ‘Highland Games’ there were none that we saw, yet there were all other sorts of entertainment. Let’s recap.
Grimm: 6x11 “Where the Wild Things Were”
Wu: “I suppose this is how Alice felt falling down
the rabbit hole.”
What the hell kind of hell
was that?
Grimm: 6x10 “Blood Magic”
Monroe: “But one man loved the
pilgrim soul in you, and loved the sorrows of your changing face.”
This was a wonderful
installment. We still had a case of the week, but this time I didn’t mind,
since it was a very beautiful and tragic story.
Grimm: 6x09 “Tree People”
Monroe: “So this mossy,
muddy, leafy, rooty-arm description sounds like something out of an apocalyptic
environmental nightmare.”
Wesen are Egyptian Gods. Wesen are
aliens. Wesen are trees….
Reign: 4x04 “Playing with fire”
Catherine: “I've learned to never trust
the beginning of a book.”
Weddings and resurrections; jealousy and rivalry; and a lot of fire –
yep, that pretty much sums it up.
Grimm: 6x08 “The Son Also Rises”
Wu: “Might
be the trouble with playing God.”Well, this was confusing and boring with some scientifically gibberish dialogue.
Reign: 4x03 “Leaps of Faith”
Mary: “We all die, Gideon. Question
is what we stood for while we lived.”
Wow, there were so many broken hearts in this one, I lost count. There
were also few unexpected turns of events and I simply love it when I get
surprised. More on that below…
