So, yeah, considering I'm going to have to write two of these episodes, I've decided I should probably re-read the first five episodes of Season Two. XD I'll try my best to leave some reviews in the next couple of days, but school might disagree, because, currently, it is. XD

@ matriarchgoddess - Trinity season two, if everything goes according to plan, should return sometime this year. Preferably between October and December.
@ Brady - HAHA! You soo don't have to leave any reviews. I really can't wait to finish these outlines.

REVIEW: 2.01 "Mentor"I really, really, reeeeaaally, loved this season premiere. Like, a whole lot. XD I loved the fact that you've thrown Lana into this new world of being a counselor for college kids, and all of her interactions, especially with the "fat, ugly whore." AMAZING. And amongst all these students, we're introduced to Rachel Roth. She's totally got me intrigued, and her closing scene left me begging for more, which I already know what's happened so far, but let's forget about that. XD Lana and Quentin were very... awkward throughout this episode. Their friendship kinda took over, and they forced the whole "kiss" thing out of the way, but it was still kinda there, which made it all... awkward. That make sense? XD And then they FINALLY HOOK-UP. Like, seriously, second time reading this, I totally let out a smile. And just to clarify, I'm not a freaky guy who likes to read sex scenes between fictional characters. Just throwin' that out there... Lex Luthor was just so f***ing awesome in this episode! He's got Amanda terrified, which I also love, and he's just such a BAMF. He basically is "Get away. I'm taking away YOUR memory. DEAL WITH IT." Ugh, he's so awesome. I loved every single one of his scenes, especially when he has Amanda shaking in her boots. And when Amanda sorta...didn't want Jake to fall into the hands of Lex, it made me feel like she's not all bad, that she has a little bit of a redeeming factor that I didn't notice the first time I read this. Anyway, Waller is a BAMF good or evil. XD Future Cynthia. W.T.F. IS. GOING. ON. Ugh. I don't know why, but I love Cynthia so much. Where she came from, all of that stuff. I just want her to kick some major ass. Like, A LOT OF ASS. I would be taking notes Chris. Just sayin'. XD Anyway, I really want to know what future Cynthia wants to tell Lana, because I can't remember if I read it in another episode and then forgot, or the episode hasn't been released yet... XD And that ending: Valentina is so high up their on the BAMF meter, it's not even funny. Gah, this made me realize how much I love this show. I need to read more. Now. But school... disagrees. XD 10/10 -- AMAZING season premiere that deserves all of the amazing awards out there. Like, seriously...awards and stuff.

REVIEW: 2.02 "Cryo"
So, yeah, this episode was pretty insane. We got to see a whole new supervillain -- someone who just wanted to fit in, but was pushed to the limits, due to extreme bullying. And when someone, Rachel, tried to comfort her, she was already so deep in hatred that she pushed her out. Even though Jennifer gave Rachel the opportunity to live, Rachel wouldn't take it unless she knew everyone was safe. That showed what type of character she is. The only strife I had with these two characters out of the whole episode, was that Rachel stopped Jennifer a little too easily. I would've liked a better battle, but it was still all pretty awesome!
I also loved Pete and Hank in this episode. I like that their friendship is growing and growing. Their goal was to find Lex Luthor, and they were lead astray by a Smallville alum -- Cat Grant. I loved her "pepper spray" line. That seriously cracked me up. XD I really want to find out more with the whole Cat/Lex, and how he has a hold on her. Unless I like totally read that, and forgot about it...
Lana and Quentin are my favoritest couple EVER. Like, seriously, they're meant to be. If you break them up... I'll just... just... I DON'T KNOW, OKAY? Totally kidding. Maybe. Probably not. Yeah, I will come after you. Anyways, I loved their little dance they had, because they couldn't at the actual Winter Formal. And their whip cream fight? -dead- I just love 'em!
Okay, basically, this episode was pretty freakin' awesome. I loved how the Lex Luthor arc was still present, even if he was in it for only a minute. Lex Luthor is right up their with Valentina on the BAMF meter, but she still beats him out. XD Rachel is still growing more and more awesome. And Lana and Quentin. Again. -dead-
9/10 -- awesome episode; not perfect, but far from bad.

REVIEW: 2.03 "Boom"
So, yeah, I was in the mood to read some more TRINITY! So glad I did. Love this show. And I didn't read the last one months ago, so I actually sorta remember what happened. Kinda... Okay, we'll just go with it? Okay? OKAY? Good!
TEASER. Very, very, very nice. -evil laugh- But no, I was all "Whuuuaaaattt is going on?" And then it went BAM!! and I was like "OMG!" and then Quentin, and then Amanda, and then "OMG" Er-herm. To the point, Brady. I looooooooooooooooved the teaser. I pictured everything in my head clearly, but I'm not surprised by that, you awesome writer you!
ACT ONE. Five Hours Earlier. Good. My emotion remain intact. UNTIL IT HITS FIVE HOURS LATER. Anyways, it ran a little short, so I don't have much to say. Finally got some clarity on why Stuart was back, which was a nice addition, if I do say so myself. But yeah, nice little act goin' on right there. MOOOOOVING ON!
ACT TWO. Stuart is back, and he's got SEEECRETS! Oh, God. I... Must... Know... Back to the point then. Didn't get to mention this earlier, BUT AMANDA. Man, what a BAMF. All her scenes are amazing, and I'm so glad she's back. I JUST LOVE HER! And then, we get her and Valentina and one room, and it's just one big bowl of epicness, soo... -hands "Epic Award"- Yeah, let's keep going, shall we? And then it ends on a nice little "MUST. KEEP. READING." moment. Love it when Acts end like that, so yay for you! -golf claps-
ACT THREE. I'm having a little nit-pick with this episode, and it has to do with the pacing. It just seems very off to me. I'm having a problem with the dragging out of Stuart revealing the big secret to Quentin. And the episode started with a bang, and gradually began to slow down. And now, it's picking back up a whole lot, almost a little too quickly. Anyways, onto the good stuff! The action is brilliant, especially the writing for it. I imagine all of it in my head almost perfectly, so props!
ACT FOUR. I'm loving that we're learning more and more about Rachel. I mean, we already know the story behind the comics with her, but the mystery is just growing with her, and it makes me love her so much! She's such a BAMF, and when she saved Lana from the explosion? -dead- I also love that Amanda is going back to her mean-ness (...? we'll go with it), because that's what I love about her character. She's SOOO AWESOME!
So, yeah, to sum up, I already told you I love this show, and this was a really great episode, but the pacing kept it from being perfect. Anyways, I hope to get to read more soon, because, again, I love it! 8/10

RESPONSE TO BRADY'S REVIEW OF "MENTOR"OMG. Brady! I totally never responded to these reviews. Jesus! What's wrong with me. I'm gonna do that right away; all three of them! XD REVIEW: 2.01 "Mentor"I really, really, reeeeaaally, loved this season premiere. Like, a whole lot. XD I loved the fact that you've thrown Lana into this new world of being a counselor for college kids, and all of her interactions, especially with the "fat, ugly whore." AMAZING. And amongst all these students, we're introduced to Rachel Roth. She's totally got me intrigued, and her closing scene left me begging for more, which I already know what's happened so far, but let's forget about that. XD Thanks Brady! I have to admit that I drew some inspiration from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (though you don't know anything about that because you haven't watched it yet *hint hint*). I always thought Lana was great at talking to people, not that she's a perfect human being, but she's gone through so much stuff in her life, and has had so many different experiences that she can help others find their path. It's something I wanted to do with her character for a while and I'm glad I got the opportunity in season two. Plus... yes, it gave me a reason to introduce Rachel Roth, who has got to be one of my favorite characters to write for on Trinity. I'm glad you enjoyed her introduction to the series! Quentin is an awkward person to begin with, but when Lana is near him he just reverts back to that shy school boy with a crush. That was the first time I ever wrote a sex scene. I mean, there was one between Quentin and Lana in season one, when they got possessed, but it wasn't as intimate, I guess. It was kinda tough to write, cause I didn't know whether or not the audience would find it tasteful. I'm glad it didn't make anyone feel too uncomfortable! haha! You can't have a story about Lana Lang without bringing Lex into the picture. It's something that had to happen, and I'm glad you like how I portrayed his character so far. The power play between him and Amanda is going to be threaded throughout the entire season, so you'll be able to enjoy more of that whenever Trinity returns. Amanda's storyline this season will have a redemptive tone. I don't think she'll ever be pure good or evil, but now that Lex has made his presence know, she'll have to question which side she's on, and that might mean working with the enemy to get rid of him. I find it interesting how much you like Cynthia. Her character was hated in season one. HAHA! Well, not hated, but she wasn't on many people's favorites list. I'm glad you like her character; and I hope as you continue reading, she'll get better and better for you. Future Cynthia is a bad ass, and yes, she'll be making a reappearance in the episode "Restless." Thanks Brady! I know you left this review like.... months ago, but it totally slipped my mind somehow. So glad you enjoyed the premiere though!

RESPONSE TO BRADY'S REVIEW OF "CRYO"REVIEW: 2.02 "Cryo"So, yeah, this episode was pretty insane. We got to see a whole new supervillain -- someone who just wanted to fit in, but was pushed to the limits, due to extreme bullying. And when someone, Rachel, tried to comfort her, she was already so deep in hatred that she pushed her out. Even though Jennifer gave Rachel the opportunity to live, Rachel wouldn't take it unless she knew everyone was safe. That showed what type of character she is. I really wanted to try the "freak of the week" / procedural style that "Smallville" spent so many years using. I know now that this show, at its heart, is a serial and I probably shouldn't try to go the procedural route ever again (hahaha!) but it was fun. I'm glad you used the word "insane" to describe it though. That's always a pleasure to read. Yes. I understand, and agree with you 100%. I was kind of rushing out of the episode, since it was already running long. But thinking back, I probably could have done some better cutting/editing. I tried thinking about real television when I decided to bring a Smallville alum to the Trinity world for an episode. I know this plot called for Clark or maybe even Lois to appear, but real TV would never allow that to happen, so Cat was the realistic option, and I'm glad I went with that. Her character so fun to write for. I don't have a bubbly character like that on Trinity; it seems like all of my characters are depressed half the time. So, it was a nice change. Of course I had to have a little Quana dance. It's really cool how many people are into Quentin and Lana. They just have chemistry and a lot of their scenes write themselves. haha! Can't take credit for much. But there may be some tension between these two pretty soon. SOOORRY!!  LOL Lex's presence, I think, will always be felt; even if he does appear in an episode. The same can be said for Valentina. The whole concept for season two pretty much revolves around those two; Lana and Quentin act as parallels to one another, since they both have a past lover who they believe to be dead. Is it bad that I just noticed that Lana and Quentin are parallels? haha! But anyway, this is turning into a rant and not a review response, late as it may be. Thank you, Brady!!! Now, to the latest review!

RESPONSE TO BRADY'S REVIEW OF "BOOM"REVIEW: 2.03 "Boom"So, yeah, I was in the mood to read some more TRINITY! So glad I did. Love this show. And I didn't read the last one months ago, so I actually sorta remember what happened. Kinda... Okay, we'll just go with it? Okay? OKAY? Good! Haha! Thanks Brady. TRINITY has been off the air for like... god, over a year. But I'm pretty sure we can expect new episodes coming out pretty soon. I love "Flashforward" teasers. It sets up the story and gives the audience a nice cushion of anticipation as the story builds toward the moment seen in the teaser. I wish the build up was handled better on my part, but I'll get into that later. Stuart is interesting to write for, because you really never know what to expect from him. Is he evil? Is he good? I would say if there was ever a neutral character on this show, it's him. And of course, Amanda and Valentina are always a pleasure to write. They have something going on... I swear. I'm only teasing... or am I? DUN DUN DUN. But no. I totally agree. The pacing of this episode wasn't the best. It was probably because while the original episode, I had to completely scrap it and come up with something totally new to fit a certain plot. I just didn't do so well with the clean up. I think ever since the premiere, the quality in the episodes took a plunge, but I'm pretty sure it gets better with the next episode. And I'm totally not like using that as an excuse or anything but seriously, I think I was having a bit of trouble really finding my footing early on this season *still am since it's not back yet, haha!* Writing mysterious characters is always fun. I don't think Rachel is really a mysterious character, but the circumstances that tend to make up her character are, and I think that's the thing that drew me to adding her to the story. People often say that Lana is the sidekick and Rachel is the hero; I totally didn't intend that, but it works well, and I think those two characters have a lot of learn from one another as the season goes on. Thanks for the reviews Brady! You're too awesome. All of this is making me want to write Trinity now. HAHA! Need to discuss strategy with Karl soon. Hopefully we can get this show up and running soon.

I wonder of anyone else has noticed but WT and Trinitys good guys are kind of like...Buffy and Angels crews. If not somewhat similar. This an observation that I have had. And I'm wondering If anyone else sees it |

And I'm wondering If anyone else sees it You'd have to elaborate more, because I've never really seen that comparison before. I think on Buffy and Angel there was more of a team dynamic than there is on Watchtower, and the "relationships" and the "roles" of the characters on Trinity don't really match up to the structure of the "Scooby Gang" or Team Angel. |

Well I meant like how the group operates I mean. In WT most of there team sometimes rely on Chloe for tech stuff and Ollie and Helena for the melee stuff considering not everyone isn't a trained fighter. Just like on Buffy in the beginning depended on Buffy to save the day then later on everyone started taking care of themeselves Then with Team Trinity everyone pretty much can fight....sometimes and on Angel everyone on his team could practically fight on there own and hold there own from the beginning. I know this sounds terribly inaccurate but I was watching Buffy and angel from start to finish and I just vast differences. And I thought, "Heyyyy. How come Buffys crew can't do what Angels can and be able to defend themselves without Buffy?" then I was re readin WT and Trinity and I was kind of thinking the same thing. And now I'm rambling.hahaa. Sorry Jack I had this all mapped out in a very detailed way but now it just sounds jumbled and soo confusing. I'm just going to stop while I'm ahead...or behind |

REVIEW: 2.04 "Ivy"SO. CHRIS. Yeah, I know, I said I'd do this a l oooooong time ago. BUT... Yeah, no excuse. XD ANYWAYS! I'm here now to embark on Part 4 (let's just go with it) on my Trinity re-reads! Please keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times while the vehicle is in motion. Let's gooooo! OMG. Rachel and Lana are epic! Like, seriously, I can't even describe. I'm loving this whole mentorship about them. And it's great that we get some spotlight on them in this episode. One of my favorite parts was when Lana was filling in Rachel about Checkmate. I just imagined it like she was teaching her about it, which makes their relationship even more A-MAY-ZA-ZING. Adding on to this, I especially loved the scene when Rachel was going through Lana's old yearbook, and suddenly arose a reference to Clark Kent. Ugh, I'm just loving these two! XD Quentin's search for Valentina is something I'm pretty much enjoying, especially since you're balancing both of his relationships, Lana and Valentina, with it. It's obvious he cares for both, and even though he's in a relationship with Lana, he's desperate to find Valentina. This just makes Quentin so much more AWEEEESOME! Okay. I can already tell that I'm in love with Pamela. She's such a BAMF already. "Best kiss ever." OMG. -dead- That was so awesome. And her showdown with Valentina? Um, can I say best scene EVAH? Two BAMF's. Fighting. Yes please! So, yeah, sorry this review is kinda short, but this episode was pretty stinkin' awesome, probably my favorite of the season so far. But, to make it all better, I'll leave a couple GIFs to sum up my feelings on this episode, and the series as a whole. Enjoy! And, my personal favorite, which I will use countless more times: 10/10 ~ brilliant!

REVIEW: 2.04 "Ivy"SO. CHRIS. Yeah, I know, I said I'd do this a l oooooong time ago. BUT... Yeah, no excuse. XD ANYWAYS! I'm here now to embark on Part 4 (let's just go with it) on my Trinity re-reads! Please keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times while the vehicle is in motion. Let's gooooo! Dude, no excuse required! LMFAO Thanks for reading/reviewing though! It's always awesome haha Lana and Rachel's relationship was a real high point for me when writing season two. I wanted to give them a mentor/student dynamic because Lana's been through so much in her life, and I found her experiences a great platform to build their relationship from. Also, every time I have the opportunity to make a reference to Smallville, I do! haha! Glad you liked that. What I find interesting about Quentin and Valentina's relationship, and what I think a lot of people are attracted to, is the fact that their relationship never truly ended. Valentina went missing; there was no closure. So, yes... while Quentin has moved on to another woman, he still has the need to end things, or not, with the woman he once, and still, loves very much. Though, his search for her may end up causing a lot of stress both all parties involved. I was soo nervous about writing Poison Ivy. I wasn't sure if I was being too cliche. A little "cliche" is good sometimes, but I never want to go overboard to the point where you're facepalming after reading every line. But I am SOOO glad you all liked my portrayal of her. I can't wait until she shows up on Watchtower, if that will even ever happen. I usually don't like writing fight scenes, but there's just something about envisioning Ali Larter in her undergarments, swapping blows with Evan Rachel Wood. haha! Just something about it... Your gifs are ALWAYS brilliant!! HAHA!! Thank you sooo much, Brady! XD |
