Review: Locke & Key Season 2, Episode 4: Forget Me Not

Well, THIS was an emotional episode. 

I feel absolutely awful for Duncan, and I'm even more angry with Rendell for taking away his memories and messing up his head in the first place! It was heartbreaking to see him so confused and upset! Plus, I'm pretty sure that Duncan thinks he's going crazy. I mean, I would probably think I was going crazy if I was in the same situation. And that's not even taking into account the emotional pain of remembering everything that happened with Rendell and his friends.

Like I said in my previous review, the more I learn about Rendell, the less I like him.

He came across as especially unlikeable in Duncan's flashbacks. Although, I have to say that the flashbacks themselves were pretty interesting. When all is said and done with Locke & Key, I'd like a whole spinoff show focusing on what happened when Rendell and his friends were young.

Erin is also growing on me. I'm impressed by her attitude and her desire to fix Duncan's situation. Also, for a person who just woke up from a coma after spending half her life in her own head, she is coping remarkably well. It's almost like she just picked up the threads of her old life. It's all kind of amazing. If anyone should be having an emotional crisis, it's Erin. 

On the bright side, they do have the Anywhere Key now, which is great. I wish I had a boyfriend like Tyler who could take me on magical European vacations. Seriously, what could be better than stepping through a door into Jane Austen world? Let's just hope that Jackie will remember the trip later. 

Speaking of relationships, I'm delighted that Kinsey and Gabe seem to be breaking up. I think I've said it before, but I REALLY hate Gabe. I even hate him more than I hated Dodge last season! So, I'm glad that Kinsey seems to be getting suspicious. Plus, after what happened with the Ghost Key, I don't want him anywhere near Key House again. 

I love that Mr. Ghost Locke managed to trick Gabe in his ghost form. It was so satisfying to see him exposed as a demon! Not to mention that getting Sam to invade Gabe's body was an absolutely GENUIS idea. If Sam could have gotten to the body three seconds earlier, all the Locke's problems would have been over! Alas, it was not to be. 

I guess we should also talk about Kinsey's fear. I think it was definitely a good decision to put her fear back; whenever you start pulling things out of your head willy-nilly, bad things follow. Anyway, I hope we're going to see a more thoughtful, cautious Kinsey going forward. The Lockes are going to need all the good sense they can get if they're going to go up against two demons with whispering iron.

Speaking of whispering iron, the fact that Josh had a piece of one of the rarest substances in the universe makes me awfully suspicious of him. Not to mention the fact that he has the Key House dollhouse. I'm going to be keeping my eyes on him!

Rating: 7/10

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
