I'm back and ready to review, It feels like I'd been in Greece forever, anyway onto the reviews.. 1x04 "The Sing Off"So this was a fun episode, well until the ending when it got a bit darker, which i wasn't expecting. Pairing up Alisha and Angela was a genius idea and i really liked reading that. I laughed a few times at Alex during this episode, and the "representation of One Direction" line was so funny xD and when Alex was saying to Justin "i think we nailed it" it gave me a chuckle, if only i could of heard the terrible singing from Alex haha. The sing off between Alisha and Angela itself i feel could have been shorted but i feel like if i were to watch the scene on TV it would be a different story, i think it just felt long because i had to read it rather than watch it. The ending came as quite a surprise to me, but a great twist/story line, I agree with chris, it really gives Angela's character depth and Jordan's too. I cant wait to see more from these too even though they are pain's in the ass. 10/101x05 "Improv"This episode felt shorter than the rest but i really liked it. Paula was hilarious, i honestly couldn't stop laughing when Micheal says to her why is she banging pans when its only 5am. I though she was sneaking in to make them breakfast and the next minute she starts banging pans over her head hahaha. Even the car scene was funny, I NEED more Paula in my life! I liked the class in this episode when get to see Alex at his best and Alisha struggling, kind of the opposite from the last episode, except Alisha seems to be having a harder time. I really felt sorry for her in this episode, I just want her to build her confidence, and i hope LA teen talent helps her do that. 10/101x06 "Commercial Success"What a way to end Arc one. This episode was really enjoyable. We get to see Alex's stubbornness comeback, which this time isn't fair on Alisha, but then again i do agree that Alisha should learn to do things on her own, because shes not always going to have Alex there with her, but i think that's a confidence thing that she needs to work on. At the end where he shows up at the house, shows that he's growing as a person, to be honest he was being a bit of a brat, commercials aren't a bad thing, a lot of actors/celebs start out in them, but i'm glad he finally caved in and went, you could see it meant alot to Alisha. I have to applaud you on your great writing for Paula, i always have a smile on my face when reading her scenes, shes so funny and i enjoy her and Micheal's chemistry, even though Micheal likes to think there is none. I find it funny that he finds her really annoying it will make it bitter sweet WHEN they get together, yes Brady, not if, when! Make it happen haha. 10/10Great job on these 3 episodes and i look forward to October 5th

So I've just read 1x06 "Charlies Way" and i gotta say wow, what an episode, definitely my favorite so far. I want to give it a 10/10 but i reminded me a lot of the one tree hill episode where Jimmy brings the gun to school and it was very similar in some ways. However you put your own spin on things and of course there was a different back story as to why Darren brought the gun into Winchester, so for that i'm giving this episode an 9/10. On to the review.. As i said before, wow. This episode had me at the edge of my seat the whole way through. I really enjoyed the elevator scenes with Lucy and Shane, because of course we know that Lucy likes Shane so it was whether or not she was finally going to tell him. And she did. I'm so glad she did too because now we know that shane feels the same way?!?! i never thought he did as well, but i'm so happy he does, hopefully he gets rid of Maya sooner than later, she's a nasty piece of work! Although i was a bit confused as to why Shane and Lucy felt guilty didn't they both find out that Maya put Pete and his friends up to attacking Darren? but then again they probably forgave her? considering Darren was the bad guy. But if you think about it, If it wasn't for Maya the whole shooting wouldn't of happened. OOOOOOH! i just clicked! i hope to see this come out the bag soon.
onto Charlie! i'm so happy he got to play the hero and win over the girls affection even more. Although i wanted Charlie and a Lucy to eventually get together, and i still have my fingers crossed they soon in the future, i enjoy him being with Cate and would like to see more of their relationship in future episodes. I can see them being a funny couple to watch.
I never really liked Eve and even though she wasn't even conscious during most of the episode, i really liked her, mainly for the voice over, it was a really nice quote, i'd like to see you use more of them in future episode. As for Anna, i'm still shocked she's even alive after that episode, i kept panicking that he was going to shoot her after some of the things she was saying to him, i'm quite surprised he didn't snap.
Blake & Pete, what a duo, definitely frenemies. It seems like no matter how much they hate each other they always come together to do the right thing, and i'm starting to think most of the time their doing it for Tracy. I like the Blake, Tracy and Pete triangle, i think pete should be involved a bit more in it though, i feel he should fight for Tracy causing tension between them all. I noticed at the end of the episode when he was all alone with know one by his side, he watched Blake and Tracy together i feel like he does miss her, and no matter how much of an ass he is, he does have real emotions and still likes her. I feel like Tracy needs to step up as a character, as being the girlfriend of the main character i feel sometimes shes just there for no reason, i'd like to see her more involved with a bigger story line (i think I've said this before, sorry if i'm repeating myself).
Now the ending i really liked, i thought from the beginning you were going to kill of one of your main cast, so i was shocked that you didnt and ended the episode on a lighter note with Eve moving her fingers, Which was a brilliant scene by the way. I'm glad the episode ended like that because i feel the kids have been through alot and Winchester, more good than bad, so it would be ashame to put them through the loss of a friend. The brief brother and sister moment between Tracy and Charlie was awesome! I really cant wait til the second half of the season, you really have a great show on your hands and i hope it last a good few seasons.

Now that's what you call a season finale. I really like teen wolf, but i'm not gonna lie, i was slightly disappointed with this season. Although it was a huge step up from season one, i felt not a lot was happening. The Kanima story line was a little weak and dragged on a bit to long which lead to me becoming bored. The fact that Jackson was focused on as much as he was irritated me... I hate Jackson with a passion and maybe that's why i didn't enjoy the season as much as i had liked? However after the finale i can say, it was worth sitting through this season. I felt like Jackson being the Kanima was going nowhere, and like i said got slightly boring. But when he "killed" himself and was turning into a bigger and more scary monster i started to enjoy the story line a bit more, why didn't this happen sooner?! I would have liked to see the wings! Now what i didn't see coming was how Jackson broke the Kanima curse. It wrapped up the whole, why did Jackson reject the bite in the first place, nicely. And now he is a werewolf? awesome! I just hope he's not as much of an ass next season.
Lydia and Stiles in this episode were great. I've never really been a Lydia fan but you could really feel chemistry between the both of them, i was starting to feel that Lydia's feelings towards Stiles were growing. DAMN YOU JACKSON! WHY DIDN'T YOU DIE! :( haha Stiles and Lydia are far from over i think though, watch this space.
I didn't really get how Allison just snapped, i found it rather weird, of course her mother died and that's going to impact her life but i didn't really get why she was taking it out on the rest of the pack, it just didn't seem like Allison. Well i suppose her Grandfather was manipulating her but her sudden change in attitude just felt off to me so i'm glad she's back to normal.
I like how the finale wrapped everything up nicely, and it really made me appreciate the season a bit more, even though i wasn't enjoying it as much. I hope next season will be intense. With the few cliffhangers at the end i'm thinking it will be. An Alpha pack, WTF?! that has to be awesome, i really cant wait to see what they do with that. There's probably some stuff that i haven't touched on but if i remember i will most likely post again later.
