Review: Supernatural Season 7, Episode 13: The Slice Girls

Well, this episode was FASCINATING.

I’m not sure why, but it really drew me in for some reason.

I was genuinely super interested in the Amazon society, and I wanted to learn more about it. Maybe I need to watch the Wonder Woman movie or something.

In case you need a recap, Sam and Dean arrive in Seattle to investigate a series of extremely weird, ritualistic murders. They discover that the killings are being committed by the Amazons, a tribe of warrior women who have super strength. It turns out that the Amazons can only reproduce if the child (which grows up super quickly) kills her father. Unfortunately, Sam and Dean only learn this after Dean mates with an Amazon. (Oops!) Dean’s daughter shows up to kill him, and, naturally, things get messy.

I did think that it was really tragic that Sam needed to kill Dean’s daughter. Part of me really wanted to believe that she did want to get away from the Amazons. I was half hoping that she could start a new life, but I guess the lesson is: once a monster, always a monster. It’s nice parallel to the moment when Dean had to kill Amy.

Like I said, I really enjoyed this episode. I was riveted the whole time, and I was really on the edge of my seat waiting to see what Emma (Dean’s daughter) would do. I wouldn’t mind if they did another episode with the Amazons. It was intriguing.

Also, I want to give a shout out to whoever decided to use "You Shook Me All Night Long" in this episode. That was an A+ decision.

Rating: 8.5/10

Peaky Blinders: Season 2 Episode 1 Review

Okay, I cannot tell a lie, I was not the biggest fan of this episode. Like, don't get me wrong, it's still Peaky Blinders , so it's automatically better than like 90% of shows out there, but this was not its best moment. In my opinion, anyway. First of all, I am supremely annoyed by the time jump. Like, I don't mind when shows do time jumps when nothing much happens, but it seemed like a LOT happened here. First of all, Freddie died offscreen?????????? I cannot express to you how much I am NOT okay with that. I'm guessing there was some issue with the actor's contract because I can't imagine that the writers would choose to kill a major character offscreen. Like, that was so un-cool. At the very least, we earned a dramatic death scene and a wake in the Garrison! Also, it appears that Ada and Freddie were living in London. So, if they were okay with that, why did Freddie refuse to leave Birmingham in season one??? I am retroactively frustrated wit

Peaky Blinders: Season 1 Episode 1 Review

So, I have to admit that people have been telling me to watch Peaky Blinders for years, but, somehow, I never got around to it, which is strange because, on the surface,  Peaky Blinders  is everything I like in television. It's a period drama, set in England, with a dark, brooding, leading man; I should love it, right? Well, I'm not sure why I resisted watching it for so long because this show is FAN-TASTIC. I mean, I've only seen the first episode at this point, but I can already tell that it is really and truly wonderful. First of all, where has Cillian Murphy been all my life? How is he like the best actor ever, and I've never heard of him? Maybe he's big in the UK and not so much in the US? Or maybe I've been living under a rock? I don't know. (After I saw him in this show, I did look up his filmography, and I realized that I must have seen him in Girl with a Pearl Earring, In the Heart of the Sea,  and Cold Mountain , but I haven't seen any of

Peaky Blinders: Season 2 Episode 6 Review

Oh my goodness, THE DRAMA! THE D-R-A-M-A. As I was watching this episode, I actually had to pause a couple of times to let the sheer dramatic-ness of the situations wash over me. It was just all so DRAMATIC. Okay, let me take a deep breath, and then we can actually talk about the episode. First things first, Tommy and Grace are getting married! What gift should I send to the wedding, I am so unbelievably happy for them. Well, I think I'm mostly happy for Tommy, but Grace can get a share of that too. At least, I assume they're getting married. Tommy said it out loud, which means it will eventually come true. Although, I'm not sure if Grace knows they're getting married yet. And what are they going to do about that nice man from Poughkeepsie??????? The other problem with this situation is Grace only seemed interested in getting back with Tommy after she knew she was pregnant with his baby. Like, did she not love him before she knew that?? Or, maybe the pregn
