General Hospital Spotlight

Now that Dante and Lulu officially have their baby, lets see how long their happiness lasts.
Some new storylines are taking shape on GH. The most important one as of now is Carly telling Franco that Sonny shot Aj. I hope Carly realizes that it won’t be a secret for far too long.
Sonny will soon learn the truth about Ava, and in the process be devastated over his actions. I think that Sonny will have another breakdown once he finds out he killed an innocent man.
The story between the Westbourne family is getting more interesting by the minute. Nathan’s mother is really Dr. O’s son, which makes Nathan and Britt brother and sister. They are on the verge of sleeping together,but hopefully something will stop them. If would be crazy if they do sleep together, Britt gets pregnant and tries to manipulate Nick into believing the baby is his.
Lets see how the week ends.
Happy Weekend

The Walking Dead Season 4 Finale

Posted in Fantasy literature, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on March 31, 2014| Leave a Comment »

The season 4 Finale of the Walking Dead was a bone chilling episode that wanted me itching for more. After several disappointing episodes without Rick Grimes getting any kind of camera time, last night’s episode surly put things back on track.
Rick shares a very nice moment with Michone as they relax and sit by a fire. Surrounded by pitch blackness, the two are alarmed by a strange sound in the woods. Joe and guys from the mysterious house finally catch up to Rick. Clearly a similar scene taken right from the comic books, give or take a few changes, Rick looses his cool as Carl and Michone’s lives are threatened. Daryl comes out of shadows to vouch for Rick. He puts his own life on the line and is punished for not telling the “truth.” Rick and the others defend themselves and we see a side of Rick surface, which has been suppressed for very long time.
After a run in with the “Claimed” gang, and reuniting with loner Daryl Dixon, Rick and his crew find Terminus. Rick makes an important move by burrying some of his guns right off the property.
The crew seeks refuge, but within a few minutes Rick notices Hershal’s watch, Glenn’s riot gear and Maggie’s poncho. He demands to see his people and soon he is attacked and led to a containment unit. Once inside he discovers that Glen, Maggie,along with Sasha and some friends are captured as well. The official reunion was nothing but a questionable greeting, as the show ended with Rick saying that “these people don’t know who they are messing with.”
Now we are left to wait until October to find out what will happen.
Overall the finale was great, and I hope that the writers stay focused on Rick. They must not forget that this is Rick’s journey and that the experiences are being told from his point of view. In addition to the group being reunited,
There were some important flashbacks that showed Hershal’s impact and influence on Rick. It was nice to see him be part of the finale. It gave us a chance to remember him again, and it gave Rick a chance to open up and really embrace who he is as a person and keep the cycle and balance between humanity and survival.
Next Season! I’m counting it down!!
Now we just have to survive the wait!

As Aj’s life hangs in the balance, his family stands by his side to support and comfort him. Monica and Michael try to make sense of the whole incident while they prepare for Dr. Patrick Drake to work his neurological magic on Aj. Ava and Sonny go on with their lives. As they try to maintain their alibis, Anna and Dante do their best to pick up the pieces in solving the crime.
Sabrina has caught on to Carlos’ lies as too many coincidences have fallen into place.
After being questioned at her apartment by Anna and Dante, Ava
shockingly returns to Aj’s room at GH prepared to finish him off, but I know that that moment will be interrupted by someone else coming into the room. They will catch Ava and she will once again lie her way out of a tight situation.
I must give Ava credit, she is talented in being deceitful.

As far as Ava and Silas’ issue, I believe that Ava is innocent. Silas’ wife is alive and she is the one that is trying to set him up. She is following Silas and Sam, setting things into motion to slowly bring him down. She killed the pharmacist and will soon make her presence known.
Happy Friday!!!L.L.

GENERAL Hospital Spotlight

Posted in Fantasy literature, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on February 7, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Things are brewing in Port Charles, and the excitement is building to such a degree that it is almost explosive.

Patrick finally knows that Sabrina is pregnant with his child. This whole thing is a great set up for Robin to leave. Now that Victor has made an offer for Robin to revive Helena and Starvos, this is the perfect time to bring Jason Morgan Back. Yes it is true that Steve Burton will soon make his comeback to GH, where he belongs. Jason Morgan is alive!!! His picture has been plastered on the screen for a short while but that’s enough to get fans in gear for what is to come. I believe that Jason will be the key to Sonny ending the war with the Jerome’s.
Julian Jerome has broken the ice with his son Lucas which will open the door for him to join his father. I’m not sure how Julian will take his son’s news about being gay, but at this point Brad might as well say goodbye to Felix.
The most exciting elements this week is the revelation between Ben and the assumptions that Elizabeth has about Ben’s paternity. I can’t wait until Dante and LuLu find out the child is theirs. Britt will loose Nicolas over this which will make it easier for Elizabeth to reclaim her love for him.
The Carley and Franco storyline is being dragged out too long and no matter how Kiki believes in Franco’s innocence, she has damaged her relationship with Michael, maybe beyond repair.
I can’t wait to see how the week ends.

NBC’s Dracula

Posted in Fantasy literature, tagged , , , , , , , , on January 25, 2014| 1 Comment »

Dracula TV

NBC’s Dracula starring Johnathan Rhys Meyers is an exciting show that has great potential. The story follows the centuries old vampire as he is awakened by the famous Van Helsing. The two have suffered a great deal in the past by The Order of the Dragon and they team up to seek revenge against them. Dracula goes by the alias Alexander Grayson, as he assumes the identity of an American business man. He quickly realizes that his long-lost love has been reincarnated and takes the form of a high society woman aspiring to become a doctor. Grayson’s love for Mina is stronger than ever. While he seeks his revenge he also seeks to live in the sun so that he can get close to Mina and reclaim his love for her.

Season One was just the introduction of a potentially great and exciting adventure. I think that NBC was brave to try to take on a show like this, but I really feel that this show would benefit better from being on a premium cable network such as HBO or Showtime. Every one knows that Dracula is a sensual, dark, and ruthless creature that will stop at nothing to get what he wants. I think that the show could better reflect those elements on cable. With it being on NBC, there is still a lot that must be taken into consideration when looking at content and censorship. The show has introduced some controversial themes, but clearly must hold back to a certain degree.
Season Two is still being questioned because of fluctuating ratings, but I hope that one of the cable networks pick up the show for season two. Johnathan Rhys Meyers is a great actor and is perfect for the role. Being on a cable network will also give him the chance to embrace or channel his inner King Henry the VIII.

Happy Reading

General Hospital Spotlight

sonny

Welcome to a new feature of my blog called General Hospital Spotlight. Most of my readers were unaware of my love for the soap. I’ve been a fan for many years and have been watching the show since the 90’s. My cousin and I go back and forth discussing the storylines and making predictions. Thoughts of the show linger in my consciousness, so I decided to write them down. I hope all fans enjoy this piece.

Lets begin with the juicy storyline of the war between Sonny, the Jerome’s and Morgan’s involvement with the whole thing. I love Sonny but he is so stupid if he actually believes that Morgan could be loyal to him. He is doing a terrible job playing both sides. Getting caught with Ava twice by two different people doesn’t look good. I’m glad Sean questioned Morgan, but I hate that he overheard them talking the other day. Why would Sonny tell Morgan about Duke? That is going to blow up in all of their faces. I think Morgan will end up dead by the time the war is over.
The Jerome’s are a slick group and I think that Julian will eventually recruit his son Lucas and convince him to join him. I believe that is why Carly has to deal with Heather’s crazy shenanigans, so the writers can introduce that storyline.
I’m getting a little tired of Heather Webber. I think most fans are. I don’t care for the new storyline of Scott and Heather being Franco’s parents. Once Carly and Franco finally get together again in the public, their relationship will not last long. I really hope that someone finds her and saves her. Its just a matter of time. I hope that someone gets rid of Heather for good.
The Silas Clay situation and the presence of the new Port Charles detective Nathan is getting very exciting. I’m curious to find out how far it will go and to see what real secrets Silas has hidden away.

Walking Dead Season 4 “Midseason finale

Posted in Fantasy literature, tagged , , , , , , , , , on December 4, 2013| Leave a Comment »

The Walking Dead mid season finale aired this past Sunday on AMC, and I must say that it was one of the best episodes in a very long time.
The return of The Governer had a traumatic impact upon everyone in the prison, as he tried to force his way in. Rick, no longer claiming leadership of the group was forced to take that role again in hopes to negotiate a deal with The Governor as Philip holds Michone,and Hershel as hostages. Things grow in intensity as The Governor is on the verge of waging a war against Rick. As Rick pleads with him, to release Hershel and Michone, The Governor holds Michone’s sword up to Hershel’s neck. Everyone in the prison looks on as they prepare for to defend their land. Just as Rick thinks he has come to an agreement for everyone to live in the prison peacefully, The Governor brings down the sword upon Hershel, slicing his neck. The heartbreaking scene is difficult to watch. The emotion behind the actors is award winning as you feel the same pain as they do. Rick, Maggie and her sister are iconic as believable characters. The bullets immediately start flying the moment Hershal falls to the ground. The Governer finishes the job by chopping off Hershel’s head. Michone escapes and Rick and The Governer go head to head in the fight of their lives. The moment Rick is down, Michone saves him by planting her sword in the Governer. As everyone takes cover, and makes an attempt to flee the now destroyed prison, Rick’s group is “broken” and separated. Judith is missing but a bloody car seat is left behind. Glen is on the bus with the people of Woodberry, while Daryl and others try to regroup after the destruction. The final scene is a heartwrentching one that is parallel to the comic book as Rick and Carl flee up the hill away from the ruins of the prison.
The action was non stop and it prompted me to re-read the books. I’m on book 7. This particular episode was more of a season finale than a midseason finale. The show is now elevated on many levels and I just hate that we have to wait until February to see what happens.
Read the books to pass the time!

The Horror of October

Posted in Fantasy literature, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on October 3, 2013| Leave a Comment »

October is my favorite fall month. It’s a time for cozy blankets, hot cocoa, and watching some of the best horror, that the genre has to offer.
This season the world of television and film has a wonderful array of horror shows and movies due to debut within the next week or so.
The Walking Dead and American Horror Story are two of the most anticipated shows returning to the small screen this year, and the excitement is building as the premiere draws closer. AMC will host a WD marathon,starting from the very moment of the Zombie Apocalypse.
A remake of the 1970’s Carrie starring Julianne Moore is about a socially challenged girl that has telekinetic powers, and tries to cope with being bullied and attempts to fit in a world she doesn’t belong. It expected to hit theaters October 18th, and I believe that it will become an instant modern day classic.
Throughout this month I will feature classic and modern horror reviews on my blog.
I will go into detail and deeply delve into what it means to experience horror in a way that twists the imagination and alters your mind.
Have A Frightening Day

BREAKING BAD series finale

Posted in Fantasy literature, tagged , , , , , , , on September 30, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Last night’s episode of Breaking Bad wrapped up the five season ground breaking show that follows a cancer stricken chemistry teacher as he ventures in a world of cooking and dealing the drug methamphetamine.

Walter White is on the verge of ending this chapter of his life as he attempts to tie up all of the loose ends involving his drug empire.
The finale had its highs and lows, but still didn’t disappoint me. The build up of events leading to the final scene were interesting. Lydia’s demise was classic BB and made me root for Walt even more.
The final scene where Walt goes to negotiate a deal with Todd and his Uncle is epic. He saves Jesse and kills everyone that was a threat to him and his family. The excitement is intense!
Walt tries to get Jessie to kill him,but Jesse refuses.
Walt quickly realizes that he has been shot and accepts his fate to die. He and Jesse exchange glances after Walt ends a phone call to tell Lydia that he poisoned her.
They share a moment of emotion then Jesse drives away. Walt wanders into the meth lab and it is there,where he dies.
I finally caught up with watching the show over the summer, and they had me before the first episode ended. I hate to see the series end and I hope that there will be a spinoff movie in the future. I look forward to “You Better Call Saul” once AMC officially begins production on that project.
Congrats to AMC and the cast and crew of Breaking Bad!!!
Happy Monday!
