Hello everyone!
Wow, it’s been a really long time. Sorry about that! I got really busy around the end of November because I was applying to schools and really trying to focus on my schoolwork, as well as my professional career, so I had to take a break from reviewing.
However, all my activities are going to be winding down after this month, so hopefully I can begin posting more frequently during June!
I’ve also gotten INSANELY into anime/manga recently. The ones I’m really obsessed with at the moment are (in order of obsession):
- One Piece (just finished the Thriller Bark arc)
- Fairy Tail (right before the time skip)
- Black Butler (seen both anime series and am about to start the manga)
- Fullmetal Alchemist (in the middle of the first series)
- Ouran Highschool Host Club (finished anime and am about to start the manga)
Lots of upcoming posts will probably center around those XD
However, I’m still just as into Supernatural and all the other live-action shows I watch, so I’ll definitely talk about those too.
A quick summary of my thoughts on the most recent episodes of Supernatural: Though I feel like this season was really great, after the episode in which Dean acquired the Mark Of Cain, the quality started dwindling. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of the episodes were still awesome, it’s just that the majority became a mere ‘okay’. I’m very angry that they wasted episode 20 on Bloodlines, especially since the series didn’t even get picked up, and have given the third- and second-to last episodes to Brad Buckner/Eugenie Ross-Leming and Andrew Dabb. Though they aren’t dreadful, they definitely haven’t proven to be the best writers the show has to offer. I would have chosen Robbie Thompson and Adam Glass, as I think they’re the best writers this season (I’d pick Robert Berens, too, but he’s still a bit too new to get a ‘final three’ episode). I am also furious that they killed off Abaddon in the third to last episode, rather than the season finale. They’ve been building her up for over a year now, and they’ve been fueling the MOC/FB considerably for several months, so it was very anticlimactic to see her die before the season was over. The fight scene she died in was also very bad – they didn’t even fight! She simply threw Dean against a wall for 40 seconds until he pushed past her strength and stabbed her. For someone that’s supposed to be the strongest villain since Lucifer, that’s pretty pathetic. I’m hoping the next two episodes get the season back on track, especially since they’re only going to be dealing with Metatron now. Luckily, that means more Cas!
‘Till next time!
