I think aside from knowing each other and working together at the one time, Morell and the Vet (need to remember his name -_-) have different agendas. The Vet really does seem entrenched in helping Scott and Derek so no, I don't think he knows what Morell is doing and she's doing something for her own end goals or if they're part of a bigger order with a chain of command, Morell is someone who can be trusted to follow the orders where personal interests in associated parties won't impair judgement (for instance, if the Vet was asked to lock Scott and Derek in the vault, I don't think he'd do it but Morell did it just as simple).
Of the 3 new pack mates from last season, I think Issac and Erica had the most potential and Issac is getting his due. That's why I'm saddened by Erica's loss cause we're stuck with Boyd who is the only 'meh' one of the 3 for me. As for Cora, I think it'll be a recast, or atleast I'm hoping. Would like to see Derek have some more family. I enjoy Peter so having someone else there to poke at him or even counterbalance Peter's views would be nice.
I think what's going on with Lydia and these visions are entirely independent of Peter. I think Peter can shine some light on it though since he did use her for his resurrection. He knows that there is something special about her and plus she's immune to being turned so she's probably some sort of supe herself. What exactly is the big, interesting mystery.
EDIT: On another note, grabbing the first 2 episodes of Orphan Black while I grab this week's True Blood episode. So I'll finally get my feet wet with this series. There was something else I wanted to check out but I'm at a loss as to what it was...=\

DLing by other means...I could just as easily check to see if BBC America has any airings/marathons but then that becomes it's own problem of it being the first episode and if they show the entirety of it on a regular basis for me to check in. So I'm just going the DL route. If I like it, I can nab the rest of the series and watch at my own leisure.

Yes, all caught up on Nikita. I'm actually wondering how they'll tie it off since it's only got a half-season till end =\ And I had to atleast get the avatar and sig situated  I feel like I'm thirsty for some new shows and I don't know why. The CW stuff is on break and I've got 3 shows to currently follow (True Blood, Teen Wolf and Defiance) but I'm just looking for more during this downtime. Fall will be no problem with the CW shows returning + some of the new stuff to check out (SHIELD, Originals, Tomorrow People, Sleepy Hollow?, the one android cop show on FOX, etc.) it's just right now I want some more stuff. I've tried out a few things on Netflix to mixed/poor results. Star Trek I get started on but get annoyed with (the Prime Directive and the constant stupidity of exploring getting the various crews into more trouble), Breaking Bad is in the same boat. I'm tempted to reach outside my comfort zone with recommendations. Don't feel like watching Battlestar Galactica again just yet but I may dive in on Fringe and X-Files. They don't have Farscape so I can't check that out like I wanted to. I'm really itching for something else supernatural but I'm not sure if I want to do a run of Buffy and Angel just yet. Being Human I can probably catch up on but interest in that is low since I dropped it anyways into the 2nd season. |

Which BH are you talking about? The US version? That's the one I watch. This season was alot better than last season. I think you should give it another chance. Do you watch SPN? Did you watch Smallville or Roswell? What other stuff would you be interested in besides supernatural stuff? I kinda watch a little bit of everything. I can't wait to see all the shows you mentioned for the fall as well. The one on Fox is called Almost Human. I also want to see OUAT in Wonderland since I watch OUAT. It actually looks like it might be better. This season of Once was really weak. You can never go wrong with Buffy reruns!
I agree with everything you said about TW too. I'm loving Isaac as well. I would love to see more of Derek's family if anymore remain. I just hope they keep Peter this time. I know they're going to be doing a flashback episode of when Derek was young so that ought to be interesting.

US version of Being Human. I kept with it up to a point (when Josh met the brother/sister duo) but it just kind of dawned on me that I hated 2 of the mains and the 3rd wasn't really doing anything interesting for me. I'm kind of worn out on the "I'm a Vampire but I don't drink human blood so as a side effect, I have control issues" stint and just as well, I hate whiney Josh and his "I don't want to be a Werewolf" schtick. Sally is the one I'm OK with but her story does nothing for me up until when I stopped.
Yes, watch Supernatural but I'm all caught up on that. Smallville, LOL, no. Not up my alley. Not too big on Superman at all and just as well, Batman. I love Arrow though and am hoping DC/WB and CW can get the Wonder Woman/Amazon show off the ground if Arrow is any indication of quality. I'm just sick of Batman and Supes getting the spotlight on the DC side of things whereas Marvel is touching base on a lot of B-list heroes (due to FOX and Sony having their other heavy hitters popularity wise in Spider-Man, Wolverine and the X-Men and the Fantastic Four) and is creating a grounds for the lesser ones to show up on SHIELD.
Roswell I've seen here and there when nothing else was on years ago. Can't recall if I was genuinely interested or not though =\ I need to get caught up on Revolution now that I think about it. I was watching OUAT but dropped it shortly after Rumple's backstory was first revealed.

Ok well hmmm..Funny Rumple is my favorite character on the show! lol! I can understand your feelings on BH, but things really changed for all the characters this season that's why to me it was the best. And I actually love Josh. Nora is the one I couldn't stand. I grew up watching Superman so I had to love Smallville.  Well if you want to try something outside your comfort zone that has twists & turns & endings that surprise you, check out Person of Interest & Elementary. |

Superman hasn't been an interesting character to me and in general, I lean way more towards Marvel. Arrow is a breath of fresh air for me on the DC side of things and Amazon/Wonder Woman would be the same.
Also, just got done with the first episode of Orphan Black. Wow. A pilot that hooks you right in. I keep forgetting that across the pond, nudity is a bit more lax. Was kind if surprised at the amount of cheek and side boob since this wasn't a HBO/Starz/Showtime show. Sarah was looking for an easy payday and really steps right into it with the assumed life. Felix is quite the interesting/entertaining character as well, although his little wake/send off screws things up.
So yeah, definitely going to grab the other/more episodes today.

I did make a comment on here about Orphan Black being a little risque. Yeah they didn't hold back which kinda surprised me a bit, but despite that, it's good so I'm glad that you're enjoying it. Kat & I both finished it in 2 days! lol!

5 episodes down. I should be done tonight or early tomorrow if I commit. Dreadlocks + Glasses = Kasima (sp?) =
So I'm kind of confused about one thing particular up to this point. Helena & Maggie were working with an 'order' that were killing off the clones. Paul & Alison's husband are 'Monitors', keeping tabs on the clones but not having all the details so are they working for a separate organization or is it the same one, just Helena & Maggie were taking care of the 'aware' clones (don't answer that if it's answered)? Just from what little was said about Helena, the whole religious angle seems to weigh against even having a reason to hold out in killing them.
Art is one of those characters that is walking a fine line. He's a hard ass a lot of the time but after the run in with Helena and the way he acted, I started to like his character but then he went back to being a hard ass and then Sarah bailed from the force so I'm not sure how much he's going to be around now or if he'd even be looking into Sarah again. Paul is also in the same boat at this point. I like the rocky relationship he's had with Sarah/Beth lately and that Sarah is falling for him and the fact that he doesn't have all the details about what he's doing gives me some hope that things will work out. I did love Kasima's comment when Sarah said she was going to shoot his balls off and Kasima was like, "No, wait, just squeeze them."  |

Slash- do you see them hinting at something happening between Isaac & Allison? I don't know. The looks he gave her in this last episode had me wondering. Of course he could've just been in awe of her with the bow & arrows!  I loved this scene.   Ok is just me or does Isaac kinda look like Jefferson/Mad Hatter from OUAT? I think it's that scarf & jacket thing he's got going on. But he really favors him sometimes. You know what else I love? The intro to TW! I think it's different than alot of promos. |

I do think they may be leaning on something with Allison and Isaac but not sure if it'll be romantic or not. I know Isaac and Scott are really supposed to hit it off in becoming better friends (as we see tonight with Scott being the only place he has to go and Scott taking an interest overall in Isaac from last season). I can see Isaac and Allison becoming friends and relying on one another at the very least. Isaac has kept her secret about her hunting Boyd & Cora and I don't see either one wanting to hurt Scott that way. We know Allison still hasn't gotten over him and I don't think Isaac would want to do Scott wrong that way after all he's done for him.
I'm kind of interested in what's going on with Derek and the teacher, Jennifer. Derek needs to have some normalcy but right now may not be the best time with the Alpha pack. He's getting his ass handed to him by them and Peter is the only other Alpha he can get for help but Peter knows to avoid trouble and isn't back at full strength anyways. Dachalean (sp?) killed his entire pack for their added power? The hell? I'm kind of foggy on the details being mentioned for TW packs but Alphas in other series are able to draw on power from their packs in their entirety and lend it depending on situations (keeping pack mates calm when they're injured or even lending some strength when they need to be healed). I would think wiping out one's pack would be damaging to an Alpha, not beneficial. I can understand that link in being pack with other Alphas but it's still kind of confusing to me that one would do that but TW seems flimsy with most of their Alphas introduced so far. Derek is very much protective of his own and we've seen Scott, who has Alpha potential (currently Beta), being protective of those around him but Dachalean and Peter have shown to kill their own/willing to sacrifice them.
And yep, the killings are an entirely different thing from the Alphas. A 'dark druid'. And that teacher seems to be involved with a lot of supernatural stuff. This and before, he was linked to Peter.

Well if you do somehow get a chance to watch it later, let me know what you think.
