Yes, I loved this Episode. Who couldn’t I? The way Sophie and Nate ignored the fact that they slept together was hilarious. Him stuttering at the end because Sophie tells him they are adults and they should just pretend it never happened. Just great. Parker and Eliot working together was nice to see. And how she wanted to take the body back to his wife was so sad. Parker finally showed some more emotions. Hardison was awesome as always. Love when he starts babbling over and over. When Parker hugged him in the end… that was very cute.

Only thing I missed on this Episode were some awesome fighting moves from Eliot.

I personal am very curious to see who bugged Nate’s Apartment.

I’ve got the feeling that this is going to be a very awesome Season.

I know this review is pretty short but hey, there is not much to say about such a good Episode besides just go and watched it if you haven’t yet. :P

------------------------------------

Quotes from the Episode:

Sophie: Nate, I am at a party full of drunk millionaires who are far from home, and are dizzy from a lack of oxygen. It’s like grifter Christmas in here.

Eliot: Every minute you’re on this mountain Nate, your clock is ticking. Your very good at your job, but you can’t con a mountain.

Hardison: It's ridiculously dangerous. It’s like a danger cupcake with murder icing.

Nate: Can you climb a mountain Parker?
Parker: I can climb a skyscraper; I can walk up a mountain.
Eliot: It’s not the same, are there avalanches on skyscrapers?
Parker: No, but that would be so cool.

Hardison: I am so damn cold, please set me on fire or do something.

Nate: Ok, let's go steal a mountain.
Parker: Again.
Nate: What?
Parker: Yeah, we stole a mountain two years ago.

The Vampire Diaries - S02E22 - As I lay dying

Spoiler Warning!

Wow, what a Finale. I totally loved it. Although I at first thought: "Wait why can Jeremy die when he wears a ring that prevents him from dying?" Luckily, I have awesome friends that just reminded me that his ring only prevents him from a death that is caused by supernatural beings. So yeah, I totally forgot that. I gotta admit, that I have just made a marathon.... meaning I started from Episode 17 and finished with Episode 22. Gotta say, this season was even more awesome than the first one. The writing gets better with every Episode. And lets hear a big cheer for Elena kissing Damon on her free will. :D I love both brothers. First Season I cheered for Elena and Stefan. Season 2 I cheered pretty much for Delena :). I love how Bonnie is having all these powers now. Powerful witches are just bad-ass :D. I pretty much hate that Jenna had to die. Now Jeremy is seeing ghosts? So awesome. Am really looking forward to see it. Damon and Stefan switching their parts... that's going to be incredible entertaining. :D And Alaric is always pretty to look at. Having Tyler back was pretty cool. His friendship with Caroline is so nice. It's breaking my heart that Matt broke up with her but on the other side I'm cheering for her and Tyler to get together.

Yes, I totally loved this finale. I gotta say that this show is so much better than the Books. :D I'm so glad that they didn't stick too close to the books.

So I'm giving ★★★★★ for this Episode. :)

Episode Quotes:

Damon: I will always choose you.

Damon: You should have met me in 1864. You'd have liked me.
Elena: I like you now. Just the way you are.

Damon: I made a lot of choices that have gotten me here. I deserve to die.

Damon: Why must you always run from me?

Alaric: Give me your glass. Neither one of us is drunk enough for this conversation.

Stefan: I'm the one who made him a vampire in the first place. If there's a cure, I owe it to him to find it.

Castle - 3x24 - Knockout - Review

Kate Beckett's investigation into her mother's death is reactivated when Hal Lockwood - a professional hitman with knowledge of Beckett's mother's murder - stages a spectacular escape during a court hearing. As police launch a manhunt for Lockwood, Castle and the team uncover evidence of a deeper conspiracy involving a mysterious figure with law enforcement connections who is linked to both Lockwood's escape and the killing of Johanna Beckett. The search for Lockwood and the quest to identify his co-conspirator leads to a shocking and deadly conclusion. Written by ABC Publicity

Spoilers - do not read if you haven't watched the Episode:

So Beckett is totally obsessed in uncovering the murderer of her Mother. After Lockwood was broken out, Castle and everyone is afraid for her safety. Even Beckett's Dad tells Castle that only he can save his daughter. When Castle begs Beckett to stop it they get into a fight. Beckett is the first to get into the topic of what they are to each other. But Castle tells her he has no idea what they are. And Beckett, stubborn as she always is, tells him they are over.

Lockwood, who escaped, visits Captain Montgomery to tell him that either Beckett or his family has to die and that their deal is off. The next morning he says goodbye to his family and mails off some files.

Ryan and Esposito find out that Montgomery was the 3rd Cop. They warn Beckett who is meeting up with Captain Montgomery at the hanger where they found the helicopter. He tells her that he never wanted anyone to get hurt. He won't mention the name of the guy that is behind all of this because he knows that Beckett would go after him. He explains further that he called her to lure the other guys out. Beckett pleads with him to not do it. But the Captain has called Castle too and he literally carries Beckett outside. Beckett cries while Castle tries to comfort her.

The Captain shoots three of the of the four and Lockwood shoots him. Lockwood says that Beckett will die anyways but the Captain says he took care of that and shoots Lockwood.

After the last shoot was fired Kate runs back inside to find the dead Roy.

Beckett tells Castle, Ryan and Esposito, that no one will ever find out about Roy. That he died a hero while protecting them. The truth should never leave this room.

Kate holds a speech about Roy at this funeral. Castle realizes something blinking in the far back but before he can really react and shove her to the side, Kate is shoot. While Beckett lies on the ground, Castle leans over her and tells her that he loves her.

OMFG, what an intense Episode. Seriously, Castle is killing me with their cliffhangers. They are seriously the masters of cliffhanger. Are they aware that we have to wait until September before we get new Episodes? I mean it, it's killing me.

At first the fight between Castle and Beckett where they finally have "THE TALK". Not the way we expected but well... at least they finally speak out that they don't know what the hell they are. :D But I loved it. They first had to get pissed off at each other before they can finally talk about it.

The fight between Ryan and Esposito was a little scary. But pretty cool to see that they always have each others back.

And the Captain being the 3rd Cop - I KNEW IT. lol it just made sense. And him getting himself killed to protect Beckett... just a heroic way to die. That's even a way where you cant be mad at him for the crap he was involved with when he was younger.

The scene between Castle and Martha was pretty cute. It made me wanna tell him "Listen to your Mom, because our Moms are always right!" ;)

Wow, seeing Beckett fall to pieces like that in the hanger scene totally broke my heart. I guess the Captain was very important to her. Much kudos to Stana for being able to fall to pieces like that. Very emotional scene. And the way Castle had to carry her outside made me cry even harder. Kate hurrying back inside while Castle just looks after her... another heart breaker. Kate leaning over Roy... another heart breaker. Seriously... a whole scene to cry.

When Kate tells Ryan, Castle and Esposito that no one will ever find out the truth about the Captain was pretty intense. Seeing Ryan cry and Esposito just starring into nothingness... amazing scene.

Of course the funeral scene made me fall to pieces too. Beckett saying all those awesome things about Roy and the way she looks at Castle why doing so... so beautiful.

The last scene where Castle tries to save Beckett's life but she gets shoot anyways.... I'm speechless. It needs a bullet to get Castle to tell Beckett that he loves her... and then we fade out? Seriously... they kill me.

I've got a theory here... the Captain send off the envelope with the files. Of course we don't know where he sent the files to yet. But I guess Beckett is not dead... of course she's not after all she is a main character besides Castle. So there. However the reason why I don't think she is dead is because Roy told Lockwood that Beckett won't die because he "took care of it". So there... I don't think Roy would have gone into a suicide mission if he wouldn't have known that Beckett was save. I pretty much think that her death was staged to make whoever was responsible for her mothers death think that she is dead and no longer a threat. At least I hope so. I don't even think Castle was in on it. I'd say they pulled something off like they did back on Bones when Booth was shoot. ;) I bet the first Episode of Season 4 will be about bringing the person down that was responsible for all. And hopefully Castle and Beckett will finally get together.

Or... Beckett was shoot and still won't die but it sends Castle, Ryan and Esposito on a revenge trip lol. Nah, I think my first theory might work out better lol.

So yes, I absolutely loved this Finale. It was very emotional and sad and even though Castle told the maybe dying Beckett that he loved her, it made me incredible happy. lol. Yes, I'm that twisted lol.

Everyone made an awesome Job in this Finale. I will miss Ruben Santiago-Hudson as the Captain since he was always so awesome. Stana and Nathan were incredible good. I just love their chemistry. I always love the scenes between Nathan, Molly and Susan. And it's always a pleasure to see Tamala. Though I wish she would get more scenes. ;) Seamus and Jon are always fun to watch. They too have great chemistry.

I also need to give much kudos to Will Beall for writing this incredible Finale... yes, I wanna hurt you just a little for the cliffhanger... but the love and admiration wins over that feeling lol.

I'm still pretty much speechless (yes, I know I just wrote this blog lol) and am very much under shock but that's okay because that means that this Episode kicked ass. It's pretty hard to make me speechless. ^^

I also need to mention the awesome Score Music of Castle that is made by Robert Duncan. If you are on Twitter tell him thank you @robertduncanmx

So a big thank you to the Cast and Crew of Castle for a fantastic Season 3. :) Can't wait for Season 4.

and now I really would like to hear your theories. ;) So get to the comment section and tell me...

Episode Quotes:

Castle: They're going to kill you Kate, and if you don't care about that, please think about how that's going to affect the people who love you. You really want to put your dad through that? What about Josh?
Beckett: And what about you Rick?
Castle: Well of course I don't want anything to happen to you. I'm your partner, I'm your friend.
Beckett: Is that what we are?
Castle: You know what? I don't know what we are. We kiss and then we never talk about it. We nearly die frozen in each others arms, but we never talk about it. So no, I got no clue what we are. I know I don't want to see you throw your life away.

Castle: Don't leave me, please. Stay with me. Ok. Kate, I love you. I Love you Kate.

Lockwood: If you and Raglan and McCallister hadn't sinned so spectacularly, then God wouldn't have sent a punishment like me

Martha: For a man who makes his living working with words, you sure have a hard time finding them when they count.

Castle: I know you crawled inside your mother's murder and didn't come out.

Captain Montgomery: I can not make Beckett stand down, Castle. I never could. I figure the only one who can is you.

Mr. Beckett: Unless you're a lot dumber than you look, you care about her too. Don't let her throw her life away.

Beckett: I've been going to that prison for the past four months to have a staring contest with the devil, and the devil just blinked.

-----------------------------------------------------------

★★★★☆

It was a very good Episode. I just don't like the whole Addi / Sam break-up thing. Yes, Addison wants a baby so badly but Sam couldn't say yes yet. I know that she has a hard time dealing with the fact that it is almost impossible for her to get pregnant but she should have given Sam a little more time. After all they love each other, right? If you can't give birth to your own child, there are a lot of kids waiting for a family to adopt them. I always loved Betsy and when nobody agreed to take her in, it broke my heart. It broke my heart for the simple fact, that I would have never hesitated to take her in. I mean, seriously, Betsy was Dell's little girl... Dell who helped to save Naomi and Sam's kid and grandchild. So yes, I never got that. Now that she finally will be taken in by Naomi I'd have loved to see Addison take her in. She would have needed it the most. Yes, Betsy is no baby anymore but she does need someone as badly as Addison needs someone. Especially since I know that Naomi will probably leave for DC anyways. I mean after all Audra will leave so I guess that's how they will do it.

I loved the way Charlotte cared for Amelia. I guess we all know the feeling to question ourselves. I loved how Charlotte hugged Amelia. I really hope that Amelia didn't touch that stupid drink but I bet she will anyways because that will move her storyline forward.

Cooper and Charlotte are really cute together. Love them.

Also the way Cooper tried to protect Betsy was awesome. For a minute I thought that he and Charlotte would take Betsy in.

Seeing Addison struggle with the late abortion really broke my heart. It must kill someone who wants to have a baby so badly to have to "kill" one during an abortion. I of course could understand Naomi's opinion too but I love how the writers of Private Practice always make sure that it's always your own decision if you want to get the baby or not. They make sure that nobody should get judged for an abortion or for giving up a baby for adoption. That's why I love the Writing Team of Private Practice & Grey's Anatomy so much. They do really good work.

I'm sooo glad that Private Practice has Caterina Scorsone. I have always loved her. She's one of my favorite actresses and brings so much to PP.

So yes, I liked this Episode but only give 4 stars because there already were some better Episodes. :)

Episode Quotes:

Betsey: Where am I going to live?
Naomi: You're coming home with me
Violet: She is?
Betsey: For how long?
Naomi: How about forever?
Betsey: Really?
Naomi: Really.

Charlotte: I'm lucky to have you, Coop. I don't want it to ever seem like I take you for granted.
Cooper: I can't take anything for granted.

Addison: Being alone it just sucks. I want my best friend back.

Addison: When it comes to abortion, everybody has an opinion. Everybody is going to want to tell you what to do. If this were 1972, it would have been a back alley and not my elevator that you collapsed in. Because back then, you didn't have a choice and now you do. But, it's still hard. And even after you make the most difficult, personal decision that there is, it's still unsafe. Because you have some fanatic who claims to value life who can walk into an abortion clinic and can blow it up. Pattie, you are the only who knows if you can have a child. Everyone else's opinion is just background noise. So, if you want to keep this baby, I'll support you. If you want to give up for an adoption, I'll help. If you want to have an abortion, I'll do it. I'm not here to judge you. I just need you to know any decision you make is for you. Not for me, not for Dr. Bennet... for you.

Charlotte: My mom always says God doesn't give with both hands. You're young, beautiful, brilliant. There has to be something you can't have.
Amelia: Some days I'd give that all up.
Charlotte: That's just the craving talking. The longer you go without a drink...
Amelia: I drank at your wedding. I thought it was ginger ale. I spit it out.
Charlotte: OK, since then?
Amelia: Nothing, but I can't stop thinking about it.
Charlotte: It was an accident. Don't let a slip turn into a fall. Get your butt to a meeting.
