Ripper Street

Posted on by under TV

I loved this show all the way up to the fourth season. What happened?! Why did the writers go the way they did? Thanks for ruining yet another great show.

This was awesome! It takes place a little after Jack the Ripper. Which I like learning about because they never caught him or was it a her? The time before fingerprints. The time before police work got really detailed because they didn’t have the technology yet.

Ripper Street started out on the BBC. Then after season two it got canceled. It was sad because I could see the potential and I so hate that. Then either Netflix or Amazon picked it up not sure which one first. However I watched it on Netflix. After season two I stopped watching and not till recently I started all over and binged watched it. From BBC to online steaming you can see the difference. I couldn’t believe it! From season 2 to season 3 wow! Season 3 is beautiful! It became clearer and White Chapel became a grimy beautiful disaster. That is the best I can describe it.

What I loved about the series is how as technology grew and how it was used to do police work. How they learn how to use fingerprints to keeping a corpse in a freezer to examine later. Telegraph to telephones. How the station was small to big as the era went on. All the characters were engaging and I cared about them. Their story lines were intriguing.

Funny fact a lot of Game of Thrones people were in it like an episode here and there. Lol! Also Preacher as well. Both shows I watch that I like. Also the guy who played Neville Longbottom (Mathew Lewis) from the Harry Potter movies was in season 4 and 5. Wow! He became handsome!

The characters Inspector Bennet Drake (Jerome Flynn) and Rose Erskine (Charlene McKenna) I loved their story line intertwined together. All that time building for them to be together only to be ruined quickly in season 4 than 5 forget them. Ridiculous!

They also destroyed the character Long Susan Hart (MyAnna Buring) in season 4. I hated who she became. In the end she does get what she deserves however I think it should have gone differently like she makes the ultimate escape with her husband and child. However Captain Homer Jackson or Mathew Judge (Adam Rothenberg) his character was true through all of the seasons. And Inspector Edmund Reid where the only characters to be themselves.

I looked up before I got to the last episode and saw that others were satisfied with ending. I am not satisfied with the ending. They made it so Inspector Reid is a lonely one man in White Chapel to fight the evils of the world there. Made him a sad character alone. The end there could be a possibility of him making new friends and going on new adventures however that will not happen. I hated the ending. I hated he never goes and sees his daughter which took seasons to find her.

In my opinion they took a great show with great characters and a great way to show policing in the Victorian era only to destroy it in the last two seasons.

 

TV/Movies

I have a new favorite TV show. Preacher! I can’t wait every week to see it. I love how gory it is and the characters are awesome! I don’t read comic books so I don’t know what will happen but I heard it’s pretty close to the comic. Also the woman who plays Tulip is awesome she is my favorite character of the show. Tulip is such a bad ass.

So you know when you look up a show you see what the actors played in. I saw the woman who plays Tulip and the guy who plays Cassidy played in the show Misfits. I have been watching that too. It’s funny because I saw it on either Amazon or Netflix and it looked good but then forgot about it. OH! Misfits is an amazing show! Each episode has it’s own unique story line plus it adds all that someone watches up till then. I started two weeks ago and I am in the third season and there is five seasons. There isn’t a character on the show that I don’t like. Too bad there is only five seasons. I hope it ends good.

Speaking of ending shows Turn. I loved that show as it’s a history show about the Revolutionary War. Not just that it was about spies. It’s funny because if someone didn’t know about the Revolutionary War you would really think some of the characters would die but in history they don’t. It’s like having an insight of the show. The way that it ended was perfect! Couldn’t ask for the perfect ending of a show.

Jeff and I started watching the Fear of Walking dead. We tried watching that show before and it was boring! But one of Jeff’s co-workers said keep watching it gets better. So we did and now we are going to catch up to this year. It has a lot of action in it even though me watching so many zombie movies there are some real dumb things the characters do as well.

On Friday Jeff and I went to see Atomic Blonde. I really wanted to see it on the big screen. I have to say the story was a bit confusing in parts. The action though made up for that. It was great! She kicked so much ass.

TV

Since nothing is going on in my life right now, I decided to talk about TV.

I don’t know about anyone else but DAMN! That Superman in Supergirl was HOT! Which is strange for me because I don’t usually go for the younger guy. He made me blush. Ha! I so hope he comes back to Supergirl. I am surprised on the rating on Netflix for Supergirl which I guess I shouldn’t be. I have seen some cool shows and movies on there where I look at the rating and say What?

I could see that Superman having his own show. Who would play Lois Lane?

Jeff and I are watching Tom Hardy’s Taboo. First of all Jeff watching this show is a first! It’s very dark literally watching it at night is hard sometimes. Ha! However the content is dark as well. I have seen quite a few shows with this content but not this story. It’s funny because Jeff is like “Is that how women were treated back then?” I say yes. If anyone knows even a little bit of history women haven’t had it easy. But he was like “What are women complaining about today look how they were treated back then!” And I am like “Right!” Also he can’t believe the King how he looks. He looks gross in Taboo however rich people had everything back then even diseases. Ha!

Seems more then any other years that superheros have been taking over. I know what a lot of them but the one I like is the Flash. I have always liked the Flash and wondered why they don’t make a show with him? I was so happy to see the show! I like it.  I wish they would make an update movie thought that would be cool.

Jeff and I watch many shows together but one I really like is Timeless. I love the history in Timeless! The Characters are likeable and they make me feel for them which makes for a good show. I have to say I always can’t wait to see where in time they are going to go. I hope they get renewed but if they don’t I hope that they don’t leave them back in time. I hate when time shows do that.

I am only going to talk about Scorpion but I have no idea why I am still watching this show. I guess a good fluff show that I don’t care what happens and can work on other stuff while sort of watching. This show is getting ridiculous which is sad because I really liked it when it first started but they can’t do no wrong in the show. The stunts are becoming like “Come on no way someone can come back from that!” I have never really watched the old Hawaii 5-0 but used to watch the reboot and now Scorpion is being like them. Like no way anyone can solve these problems and live through the situations they are in. I think soon I will stop watching this show. Too bad could have been a good show.

 

Get Over Here

cooltext204782311195438Say this in Scorpion’s voice

Yes I wanted to watch Mortal Kombat the movie again and I did. What a horrible acting movie! However I love it! My favorite parts is the fighting scenes. Of course my favorite is Scorpion and Cage fight. I noticed while watching it again that during that fight Scorpion’s spear thingy comes out of his hand but when he shoots it, it comes out of his forearm. The 90s attempt of CGI. Made me chuckle. I thought wouldn’t it be cool if they redid that movie in today’s technology. That would be great! That fight would be so much more enhanced. I know that will never happen but just a thought.

I also watched Mortal Kombat Annihilation. It’s like you have to watch that one after watching Mortal Kombat. They flow so well together.  Acting still horrible but fighting I like it.  I have seen these two movies so many times but I still like them.

Going to date myself but I remember going to the arcade to play Mortal Kombat. It was the goriest game in the arcade as well and always a line to play. Of course most of the time I was the only girl who wanted to play it. My favorite character and still is Scorpion. That spear is super cool and still is today. Of course I love the tension between Scorpion and Sub Zero. Fire versus ice! How original right? Lol!

Anyway I was searching YouTube for more Mortal Kombat things to watch. I found that Machinima on YouTube has Mortal Kombat Legacy. Seriously! It was so cool! Love Mortal Kombat go and watch those. Just as I was thinking of how cool it would be if Mortal Kombat would be in today’s world I find that gem. On top of that there are two seasons! I so hope they continue that series. And the fighting just as cool! I love watching kung fu.

As you know I do not have a PS4. I know I am going to play Mortal Kombat X sometime but in the meantime I watched the story on YouTube. Interesting them going with the offspring of some main characters. I guess they have to age sometime I guess. Still strange for me for being a fan.

Now I know that Liu Kang is supposedly the main character. But I have to say he’s my least favorite even lower then Stryker. Which probably the only person on the planet who likes Stryker. That seems to be a theme with me. You hate it and I like it. I do like how he is a human and doesn’t have any real power. Like if any one of us was living in the Mortal Kombat realm.

Back to Liu Kang he is my least favorte character and still is. His voice was and still is annoying! Of all the characters to play Liu Kang? Okay even Stryker? Why not Raiden a god or Scorpion spitting fire. Liu Kang? Lol! Yeah I never liked him even though in Mortal Kombat Legacy they make him a bad ass. Still seems whiny to me.

I just have to say boobs. Still to this day those boobs of every female in the game are huge. I have never seen a normal person that skinny and have those big boobs in my life. OH video games you crack me up on the female anatomy. Also not complaining about it either. Just makes me laugh because those things would get in the way of fighting. I think it would be funny if a fatality was death by boobs then again someone would complain. Some people just don’t have a sense of humor I guess.

I love the fatalities even though some are lame. Also think babality is dumb in my opinion. I think that is what drew me to Mortal Kombat all the gruesome fatalities! I loved the original when you could send someone to the pit of spikes. Or send them down through floors upon floors to their death. Ripping off heads, brains splatters just so much blood everywhere. Also did anyone ever turn off the blood? I know that was an option or it still is. Why on earth would you play this game if you turned off the blood? I remember there was an option to turn it green. Everyone had Reptile blood. Funny.

Anyway I saw on YouTube a rating of best ten Mortal Kombat characters and of course people made their own in the comments. So here is mine.

  1. Scorpion
  2. Sub-Zero
  3. Kitana
  4. Raiden
  5. Kenshi
  6. Ermac
  7. Noob Saibot
  8. Jade
  9. Stryker
  10. Cyrax

Of course we all know everyone has their own list. I think it’s funny on YouTube where people say their list suck. It’s an opinion of course no one is going to be like ‘your list is awesome’ or ‘I agree’.

In conclusion I love Mortal Kombat. I like all the story lines even though sometimes they don’t make sense. I like their are depths to the characters. Bonus it’s gory as well. What fatalities will they come up with next?

Annoying TV Women

Posted on by under TV

coollogo_com-5034738Why don’t you die already or leave?

I watch a lot of shows and there is just some women I can’t stand, not the actress themselves just the characters that they play. I either want them to leave or die. But they drag on and on. I love the shows but just how they act and their lines are ridiculously stupid. Don’t get me wrong there are some great female roles in the shows I watch, these are the ones I can’t stand. Oh I am sure there will many more but these are the ones I remember for now. Also be aware this is my opinion you may feel differently. Warning contain spoilers.

Lost

Kate-At first she wasn’t all that bad. But as the seasons started to drag on and her playing both men. I started not to like her. I wanted her to pick a side either you are with Jack or you are with Sawyer. Pick one!

Shannon-You might know this actress from all those Taken movies. OMG! I so hated this character so much. She was so whiny. She couldn’t defend herself and she was failing around the island. When she died I was happy.

Sons of Anarchy

Tara-She is Jax girlfriend and ends being his wife. Wow! I know she is the one that brings conflict to the story. The point of view of trying to do right when being love with a criminal. However I feel she did a horrible job at it and just became annoying. Especially when she tries to leave and doesn’t get very far. When she died it was nice. No more Tara.

Breaking Bad

Skylar-Skylar Walter’s wife. Right from the beginning I didn’t like her. Like Shannon from Lost I just wanted to leave. The whole her trying to commit suicide was stupid. If she was a strong woman character she would have confronted Walter instead of trying to kill herself. I really dislike this character very much.

Marie-Ironically Skylar’s sister just as equally as annoying. Telling her husband Hank what to do all the time. Bossing around Skylar making her even more annoying character. I am not sure what her point really was.

Walking Dead

Lori Grimes-Rick Grimes wife. Meeting Lori I knew right away I wouldn’t like her. How can she move on so quickly to Rick’s friend Shane? Oh my husband is probably dead and now I will be with Shane. Why not?! And the whole I don’t know who the father of my baby is. I hate those situations. I knew she was going to die soon, and I figured during child birth as well. That was easy to figure out. Of course out of all the annoying women Lori sent Rick’s mind into chaos. Basically he went crazy. Still I am glad she is gone.

Dr. Who

The most annoying companions are?

Martha Jones-To me she wasn’t relatable. I couldn’t warm up to her like Rose or Donna. Her running around with my favorite Dr. was so annoying. Every companion has feelings for the doctor but the way she showed it was getting exhausting. She wanted to be with Dr. then she didn’t. I don’t know. I was glad when she left.

Clara Oswald-At first she was great. She was a good bridge after Rory, Amy and River. But now she is with the new Dr. I want her to leave! I think she is going to die. Anyways she is just dragging on and on. I really need a new companion for the Dr.
