Review: Locke & Key Season 2, Episode 6: The Maze

Oh, Erin! 

I was just starting to get used to having her on this show, and now she's DEAD! 

It's disappointing because I was liking her character more and more, but also because it was a pretty stupid way to die. I understand that Erin probably still has the mind of a teenager, but there was no reason for her to go up against Dodge on her own. I mean, if Erin told the Lockes she had a plan to kill Dodge, they would probably offer to help! There's no reason for all the secrecy!

Now, the Lockes have lost a valuable ally and a valuable key. For heaven's sake, they don't even know how the chain key works! The Lockes are at such a disadvantage in this situation. 

They're just lucky that Gabe/Dodge seems to believe that the Lockes still don't know about him. By the way, that makes Dodge a pretty stupid demon because it's SO OBVIOUS! The second Kinsey broke the mirror when she saw him, he should have known that something was up.

On the bright side, I'm happy that Duncan has his memories back. The Locke kids need all the help they can get, and it seems like memory Duncan is going to be really helpful to have around. Plus, he's much more enjoyable as a character when he actually knows what's going on. 

On another note, I was a little surprised that Jackie decided not to keep her memories. I wonder if Jackie who remembered magic would feel that way, but I guess we'll never know. I suppose not remembering magic will make her life easier, but, in my opinion, the tradeoff isn't worth it. All the same, I'm glad Tyler gave her the choice to remember or not. That was definitely the right thing to do. Yet, I have a feeling that Jackie isn't going to be on this show much longer; I'm pretty confident that this is going to break up their relationship sooner or later. 

On the other hand, Bode and Jaime's relationship continues to be really adorable. I'm so glad he found a friend!

On a fun note, I enjoyed seeing demon Eden interacting with her human mother. It was so weird when Eden told her mother she should kill her father and the mother was happy. You know there's something wrong with your family when someone suggests murder, and the other person isn't even alarmed. 

Rating: 8/10

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

Image
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
