Episode Name: Beside Still Water Director: Matt Hastings Writer: Todd Slavkin & Darren Swimmer Running time: 43 min Release Date: 14/08/2017 Genre: Fantasy Rating: Synopsis: Jace and Clary rush to make a final stand, but when a traitor is revealed, Jace and Clary may have a bigger fight on their hands than expected. Meanwhile, Alec and Izzy must fight off a large mass of demons that have unexpectedly shown up, as Luke and Simon head to the Seelie Court to deal with some unfinished business with the Seelie Queen. MY THOUGHTS (SPOILERS AHEAD) What a finale! It was soooo good. A great way to end the season. We basically didn’t see Sebastian at all this episode, but at least he’s not dead. He’s obviously going to play an even bigger role next season. Lilith is going to be his mother and I’m super excited to see who she’ll be casted as. Malec is back together. I am content. I really loved the scene where Alec, Magnus and Izzy were putting the demon back to Edom. I love them. I also liked the scene when the four of them were in the streets trying to hit the demon (dragon?) down before…

Episode Name: Hail And Fairwell Director: Matt Hastings Writer: Bryan Q. Miller Running time: 43 min Release Date: 07/08/2017 Genre: Fantasy Rating Synopsis: After centuries of being lied to and treated poorly by the Clave, the Downworlders decide to come together and take matters into their own hands as the hunt for Valentine and Sebastian intensifies. But what starts off as a way to preserve their own, the Downworlders choice to break with the Shadowhunters, could quickly escalate to war. MY THOUGHTS (SPOILERS AHEAD) Grab a snack. There is SO much I have to talk about. Sebastian & Valentine I feel like I say this in every review, but they just keeping getting heavier and more perfect. Sebastian is great. As always. I feel like Valentine has some other plan, but I have no idea what. They’re great. I’m excited Malec My heart hurts. They’re is so much tension. I can’t. There is something happening with Magnus, Why else would a powerful warlock like himself think the Seelie Queen will actually protect him. But I understand where he’s coming from. The Clave would not protect the Downworlders over their own kind. Maia/Simon These two are just too cute. I love…

Episode Name: A Problem Of Memory Director: Peter DeLuise Writer: Allison Rymer Running time: 43 min Release Date: 10/07/2017 Genre: Fantasy Rating: Synopsis: Simon looks for a distraction with an evening out with some of his new vampire friends. What started out as a night to let loose quickly turns much darker when Simon wakes up the next morning with no memory of the night before and a dead body he now has to answer for. Meanwhile, Alec orders Valentine to be transferred to Idris to help repair relations with the Downworlders. Magnus recalls when he was a young warlock and found his mother dead. His stepfather then grunts at him in something captioned at Dutch (which it is NOT), and Magnus killed his stepfather. MY THOUGHTS (SPOILER AHEAD) This was a great episode. It was a lot of fun and I had a good time watching it. It kept me at the edge of my seat and I was constantly nervous about what was going to happen. There are a few minor things that I didn’t like but otherwise I really liked the episode. So, the aftermath of last episode has hit Simon fast and that is the main…

Episode Name: Farewell, My Lovely Director: Joseph Dougherty Writer: Joseph Dougherty Producer: I. Marlene King Running time: 42 min Release Date: 20/06/2017 Genre: Mystery, Drama & Crime Rating Synopsis: Convinced they know who A.D. is, the Liars gear up for a confrontation. Spencer, Hanna, and Caleb team up to investigate and discover new information about Charlotte’s death. Meanwhile, Mary Drake returns with a gift for Spencer and Alison. MY THOUGHTS (SPOILERS AHEAD) A lot of stuff went down in this episode. We find out a lot, including Charlotte’s killer, and I am super hyped for the finale. This episode can basically be summed up as preparation for the final episode. Aria was almost caught by the police, and oh man, was I wondering what the writers would do this time, Luckily she was not caught, and we could all breathe. Ezra stood up for Aria, which was sweet, and told the girls how wrong they were treating her. He really takes charge in this episode and I liked seeing that side of him. Then we see Mona falling into the deep, dark pit of games and manipulation. Now, I never thought she was A.D. but the Liars are quite sure…

Episode Name: Those of Demon Blood Director: Michael Goi Writer: Zac Hug Running time: 43 min Release Date: 19/06/2017 Genre: Fantasy Rating: Synopsis: After several Shadowhunters are killed, the Institute takes controversial methods to avoid a revolt of the Downworlds.   MY THOUGHTS: (SPOILERS AHEAD) I don’t exactly know how to explain my feelings on this episode. The episode felt strange to me, but I still enjoyed watching it. Know what I mean? The things that happened in the episode are not in the books, so it felt odd, but it was still well done. They did a good job with the episode, but seeing as I’ve read the books, it felt out of place. The start of the episode was funny. Round of applause to Alberto who plays Simon (next week’s promo trailer has some really good lines from him, which Iim going LOVE watching). And I take back the thing I said last week, because it seems more than likely that the talk between Luke and Simon, denies what I thought happened (unless Simon was just saying that, but he was acting like his usual awkward self so I don’t think he was lying). So, Inquisitor Imogen has…

Episode Name: Choose Or Loose Director: Norman Buckley Writer: Charlie Craig Producer: I. Marlene King Running time: 42 min Release Date: 13/06/2017 Genre: Mystery, Drama & Crime Rating Synopsis: The Rosewood PD turn up the heat on the Liars, causing loved ones to try and close ranks. Aria’s recent collaboration with A.D. comes to the attention of a surprising source. A.D. presents the PLLs with a choice designed to drive a wedge between them. Meanwhile, everyone tries to find a bit of happiness and spend what could be their last night of freedom with the ones they love before all hell breaks loose. Toby returns to Rosewood, and Aria makes a horrifying discovery.   MY THOUGHTS: (SPOILERS AHEAD) Wow. This episode was indescribable. I loved it! My mind is swirling with theories and I’m blown away. Now, I really wonder how I’ll feel about the finale, which is only two episodes away! Detective Furey is gone (for good, I hope) and Tanner is back in, which I’m pumped for, yet nervous of, becauase she’s basically arrested them. Also, are the police allowed to search your phone or computer when they have no real evidence that the Liars did anything, except…

Episode Name: You Are Not Your Own Director: Billie Woodruff Writer: Jamie Gorenberg Running time: 43 min Release Date: 12/06/2017 Genre: Fantasy Rating: Synopsis: As Valentine and Magnus try to escape the prison, Jace deals with a new identity, and the Shadowhunters face a possible uprising of the Downworld. MY THOUGHTS (SPOILERS AHEAD) This episode was great. It was executed so well and was so well done. The acting was great and the plot was interesting, and overall  I was really impressed. The episode starts with Climon. I saw this scene in the promo and was hoping it wouldn’t happen, but unfortunately, it did. Clary and Simon took it to THAT level, which will make it awkward once they break up in the future, to allow her to be with Jace. Clary is also meant to lose it to Jace in CoHF, but now that’s ruined. Did not like this scene, at all. Another big part of the episode is Sebastian. He’s acting like the good guy and Will Tudor is doing a great job. Sebastian was looking trustworthy and reliable. He says some great lines that are hinting at his character from the books (I won’t spoil you). Sebastian…
