While this adaptation is barely ‘historically accurate’ I find the plot much more in a metaphorical morbid tale. The writers seemed to adapt season 2 according to the writings, notes, and ‘rewritten letters’ in the written historical account of Em’s brother’s mistress, Mabel. In actual historical documentation, Mabel, is the mistress who paints Em and Sue’s relationship as tumultuously cold, rigid, and in a battle to do ethically and societal correctness. But their true relationship, Em’s and Sue’s, was nothing but warm, kind, and loving.

The Reapers presence is a hoot. The viewer needs to quickly differentiate between Emily’s reality vs her internal self doubting minds discussions (the reaper). Hence why she did go a bit ‘mad’ in reality and was a recluse because of her self doubt and lack of self worth. It is from Emily’s good vs evil introspection we see where her rebellious, opinionated, expressiveness comes from that is written within her poetic works of art.

I’m looking forward to season 3.

Absolute brilliant story about TRUST in family, neighbors, people who have done you wrong the first time, or, ten thousandth time. I was a blubbering wet eyed mess throughout the film. A giggle here and there, especially ninja criminal baby Noi. Raya(RYE’eh), was a perfect blend of all the totems: Dream, Courage, Love, Hope, Humanity, Destiny, Truth. Best Disney film in a long time, no singing or dancing (a la Mulan). Nothing but pure Emotional and lovable story.

I read a comment below from a person who felt there was a lot of bullying in the film. Well, there is a lot of bullying in all Disney films, and, all other Hollywood films, too. The message Disney was, and, always has conveyed is, ‘Stand up to Bully’s. Be yourself and you will overcome and conquer your fears. And liked by those who believe in you.

5 more episodes till end of the supergirl show. I caught a ‘finale easter egg’ in this episode. ‘Truth’ be told, it will be the end of Nyxly when Esme finally has a grasp of her powers and will reign wrath on Nyxly, bringing her to her knees.

And ahem, what was that ‘Hunger games’ scene at the end? LMAO. SMH. Or more like, who sent that gift ‘a la hunger games way’?

What can I say about this one I haven’t said on all other Hallmark Holiday movies: This was comically heartwarming, yet far fetched in the 3rd times a charm love story. Loved seeing John and Candice working together again(Fuller House cast members).

Another fantastic bewitching episode. Loved seeing Sabrina Spellman again. The Blossom matriarch’s lore was mindblowing and magickal. But, but, but…Who is going to wake up out of this 5 episode Twilight Zone nightmare and be popped back to reality?

This was a great movie. At first it started out a bit slow, stale, but, it finally picked up speed and featured more T&J antics, including them getting along, even though they really never do.

I can’t believe that Tom and Jerry are now 81 years old. Antique Classic cartoon. Began in 1940. Won an Oscar for Best Cartoon(short). And have entertained many generations and will be entertaining future generations with their crazy antics.

Beautifully presented, 3 theories and 3 conceptions of grief, feuding, healing, acceptance. Loved the uniting of an ‘eathereal entity’ with a cloned ‘humanoid’. Such raw emotions expressed between those 2 youth with this ‘out of this world’ rebirth experience.

I’ve read some comments over last 3 episodes where people seem off put due to the emotional direction of each character. They claim that in all former Star Trek series that the emotionalism was never present. I beg to differ, Remember, Counselor Troy? Captain Janeway? Guinan? Captain Sisco and DAX? And all Doctors? They all set the tone on their respective series’ with a lot of emotional happiness, turmoil, sadness, & crew member to crew member grievances during each episode of their respective programs, Star Trek Generation, Star Trek Voyager, Deep Space Nine. Many characters of prior ST series’ have had their share of emotional battles to concede to, to conquer. And need I mention, Star Trek: PICARD! He too presents us with much emotional upheaval on that show.

Seriously, Doesn’t anyone remember how Worf spiraled out of control for a ‘minute’ because his teen son was not ‘following’ in HIS ancestral, as well as, work related path? There was so much character to character turmoil, fights, disagreements, emotional stress, and they had to conquer their emotional dilemma’s while also engaged in battles between disagreeing races.

Sound familiar? Our own human race has this very problem, we have personal battles within ourselves, our family members, friends, communities, and it spills over into society, races, countries fighting countries over disagreements. Emotional turmoil is the forefront of all nation and community disagreements and all Star Trek programs, including Discovery, have presented it well. IMHO.

Such an emotional episode and a shocking ending.

Can this show get any better? Seriously, this episode was The Bee’s Knee’s. What a clever way to foil a potential Bump Off, albeit how bad it goes against the Legend’s timeline rules. Loved the Gin Mills, especially the Zari Party, and the Ghost whiteness of the Bullet Blonde’s was so metaphorically spot on! And the choreography that foiled the Gatecrasher’s intentions initial intentions to take down the BB’s. Swell!

For you young whippersnapper’s who haven’t figured out my slang banter above, I am using popular slang terminology from the 1920’s.

The Bee’s Knee’s: Awesome person/thing
Bump Off: Murder someone
Gin Mills: Speakeasy’s.
Gatecrasher: Uninvited ‘guests’ without invitation, password, lack of paying admission.
Swell: Excellent/Brilliant

The ghost white of the BB’s is metaphorical because it represents the fact they are time jumpers and ‘cannot be caught’.

Amy Pemberton’s(Gideon’s) vocals are very impressive! A very talented singer.

Great film. Laughed, cried. Cried the last half hour of movie from the time they arrived at the cemetery. Heartfelt. It touched a bit on the injury affects and effects once veterans, and, war service dogs return home.

Well, isn’t this going to be a wild 5 part multiverse team up.

I did see a lot of ‘what, why, how, really?, oh no he didn’t, and etc., etc.’ that need answers. The answers will not come till episode 5 of Armageddon.

But 1 theory I do have is: Joe’s, not dead. The entire Armageddon event, and, idea that Joe’s not alive is probably no more than a Schrodinger’s Cat. Might be a dream that Joe is having and he will wake up from in episode 6. Or, it’s Cecile, dreaming? Or is it Barry, dreaming?

Back to Armageddon: The minds of everyone are being warped into believing a specific scenario that will break Barry and make him go nuts. It is obvious to me that Barry is the Pawn for the 2 mindbenders currently reaking havoc on the city. Nothing is as it seems. So, can the Justice League win? DUH, it’s tv, it’s CW, it’s Comicbook hero’s, soooooo..YES, of course!

I will miss this show if it doesn’t get renewed for season 9. I don’t see an announcement coming till closer to the end of season 8.

Loved this episode very much. Showed the personal angst and humbleness, yet also, PTSD, that happens to soldiers after returning home from war. The loss of a fellow unit member can change a person’s viewpoint about their own morality, values, and, boundaries they have either had or not had before experiencing such harsh turmoil in the front lines of the war. A wonderful plot arc was weaved in this episode that makes me want to hug the writers. WELL DONE!!!!!

EPIC SPOILER AHEAD!!!!!

It’s about time they gave a shout out homage to the original The Wonder Years(1988-1993)!!!

That last scene was a 6 degrees of separation connection to original program’s Cooper Family’s son, and, Winnie Cooper’s Brother. Remember that story arc? Winnie’s brother was killed in Vietnam. This episode ties the Williams family’s eldest son, Bruce, to the Cooper family’s son, Brian. They were in the same military unit.

Excellent start to the new season. Loved when John fired his home care nurse. I knew he wasn’t gonna stay down once he was home. Beth is on a warpath. Go get’im girl. Jaime turned his back on the family. And he’s still gonna play the concerned child while he didn’t get a scratch on him, or, a hole through him. And Rip!!! Now there’s a man on a mission…

Welcome to Rivervale, Enjoy your 5 week stay.

Things kick off like a TWILIGHT ZONE episode!!! I loved how Jughead was narrator and loved this nod to a very classic old TV show(Twilight Zone). This is the first of a 5 episode supernatural mirror universe tale, complete with a long overdue crossover with Sabrina Spellman, during 1 of the next episodes. This tale is gonna be EPIC! I loved this Gothic Folk Horror Twist tonight. Cannot wait to see the next 4 episodes. Each one having it’s own horror sub-genre twist.

Absolutely entertaining. I loved the Strange scientific twist. But save that type of experimentation for fiction and leave it out of reality.

YAY…CHOZEN will be in season 5! YES. Love that old Karate enemies are becoming Co-Sensei’s. Sensei Miyagi will give his blessing, no doubt. And I had no doubt Silver was going to double cross Kreese.

Denis Leary joins Organized Crime portraying character, Frank Donnelly. Can’t wait to see the second half of this season. Bring it on! Only 10 more episodes to go. Yeah, and the obvious, Wheatley isn’t dead. He’s a vampire…hard to kill. The Stabler-Wheatley Tom and Jerry act is already old for me. Time to bring in a new Jerry for Tom to chase. I cannot see this program going 5 years, a decade with Wheatley the bane of Stabler’s NYC Detective career. I would like to see more cross over between OC and SVU to establish and develop a romantic relationship between Olivia and Elliot. Would love to see some Oliviot screen time.

First episode ever that truly gave me pause. I cried through the program. I, and several family members, experienced multiple gun violence events throughout our first half century of life. The heartfelt discussions the Conner’s have with each other, their expression of angst, anger, fear, PTSD, really brought it all home for me. Years of counseling help one adjust to moving forward in life. A person never forgets the sounds a traumatic crime scene make at time of event. With counseling, they just ‘learn’ to adjust, cope, process, and move on towards a healthier productive style of living.

I flooded my entire country. No, the entire Continent, and, it’s now under the ocean. WOW, this episode was totally a trillion kleenex tear jerking, heart tugging, Moral lesson in ‘Why can’t we all just get along and stop fighting with each other’. So much philosophical reasoning within the dialog. Truly brought home every emotional quirk, emotional outburst, angst, anger, sadness, and the joyful parts, of every episode throughout this entire season. Can they top this next season? Bring on Season 5, P.L.E.A.S.E.

This season is going to get better from here on. Hope, being a tribred, will be struggling to control her humanity as a vampire, her protectiveness as a wolf, and her magic as a witch. Will we see more of Aunt Freya, and, Aunt Becky this season? I sure hope so, because it’s going to take Hope’s friends and Aunt’s to bring her some satiated peace to dealing with her humanity side.

This was a hard 1 to watch because I am a caregiver of my elderly parent. The topic tonight dealt with elderly folk losing their independence due to health issues. Elderly folk have so much pride built up by the time they are over 70, that sometimes they fail to realize how much harm they put others in by driving when they shouldn’t be. The tougher job is the child having to parent their own parent and remove the livelihood, the independence, the lifelong driving privilege, away before the elder adult harm themselves and others. Sadly, sometimes it actually takes an accident for that elderly parent to relinquish the car keys.

Festive furry feline frivolity. The plot is a former couple who broke up, years later get back together because of the kitten kaper, after she returns to her hometown. Loved the names of the kittens.

A quiet, yet loud, film about a women being stepped over and not acknowledged for their self-taught/life educated, time consumed passion for discovery, detail, and self-employment. Especially during the Victorian Era when men not only frowned at women for such things, but, were intimidated by their inept ability to show great detailed knowledge of particularly male dominant fields of study. Mary’s story, her life, and her career path, were the pioneering first step for women’s employment equality, as well as, a catapult into the world of notability amongst her fossil hunting, paleontology/archeology peers.

I thoroughly enjoyed the quietude within this film. Quietness lent to the eyes and senses to see the story through body language/posture, eye contact, emotions within what little dialog or camera scanning written letters, was present.

2 thumbs up/5 stars. Great film. Will watch it again 1 day.

This season is gonna be explosively Feudalicious! For both generations. Can’t wait to watch the battle unfold between the families, and, the kids.

A phenomenal, and, emotional, backstory episode; a fictionalized military team member’s origin story. It paid tribute to the many youth whose future’s were shaped by this USA tragedy, as well as, the many first responders who lost their lives that fated day. Many young adults enlisted in the Armed Forces within 2 years after that day. This was not a ‘recruitment video’. It was not a memorial episode, thus, why it was not aired during week of September 11. Yet, at the very end it did pay tribute to the many lives lost at Twin Towers, Pentagon, a field in Shanksville-PA(Flight 93). I read at IMDB, the plot point was the brainstorm of former Seal Team Member, and, Executive Producer of this show.

This show also paid tribute to those lost during USA’s very first terrorist attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Making note that it, too, would not be forgotten.
