Eulogy for Cora {Once Upon A Time}

Before I continue, let be say if you haven’t really caught up with Once Upon A Time series and at the moment following it up, hates spoilers, stop reading now.

The reason why I do this post is to pay my respect to Cora, Regina’s mother. As a reader, Cora has been part of my life, and even more, it was wonderful to have her included in the TV series Once Upon A Time. She was a wonderful character, strong and evil. Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis had beautifully integrate her into OUAT’s storyline. This is her eulogy from me.





Cora was the Miller’s daughter.
  She spins straws into gold.
    Became one of Rumple’s love interests.
  Mother of the Evil Queen Regina.
Snow White’s step-grandmother.
   Wonderland’s Queen of Hearts (off with their heads!)
Turned Mad Hatter’s mad…

Compare to the Evil Queen Regina, Cora was Heartless, Truly Heartless.

Yes… it did make sense… Too bad she died.. minutes after getting her heart back, then realized this huge love she had for Regina. Oh, how much she love her and how she missed all that. She, who turned her daughter as dark as her…

Cora, the one who tainted the purest heart of Snow White with the speck darkness.

Cora will be missed.

Rest In Peace.
♥ Cora ♥

TV Candy: Elementary (2012)

Elementary

Casts:
Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes
Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson

Following his fall from grace in London and a stint in rehab, eccentric Sherlock escapes to Manhattan where his wealthy father forces him to live with his worst nightmare – a sober companion, Dr. Watson. A successful surgeon until she lost a patient and her license three years ago, Watson views her current job as another opportunity to help people, as well as paying a penance. Holmes resumes his work as a police consultant in New York City and Watson has no choice but to accompany her irascible new charge on his jobs. But Sherlock finds her medical background helpful, and Watson realizes she has a knack for playing investigator. With the mischievous Sherlock Holmes now running free in New York solving crimes, it’s simple deduction that he’s going to need someone to keep him grounded, and it’s elementary that it’s a job for Watson.

My 2 Cents
Honestly said, I didn’t really look into what the heck this tv series was about until I have watched it. To my pleasant surprise, it turned out to be another rendition of the famous Sherlock Holmes… with a female Watson. It’s a new concept for me but so far I’m loving it.

I have to admit, Lucy Liu was the reason why I actually took the interest to read it. Other than the fact I love Sherlock Holmes hehehe I hope this will progress nicely.

Doctor Who & Torchwood Fest!

“Please remain calm while your life is terminate.”

After watching last week’s Doctor Who and Torchwood, am I the only one who wants crossovers already??!! Captain Jack had been mentioning the doctor more frequently than usual here. and if I'm not mistaken, both series has been mentioning the same things. >.<

Jack needs help with the ever so overpopulating Earth (and a bad love story episode) and Doctor Who needs to deal with River Song. >.<

  Honestly said, the last Doctor Who’s episode made me hold my breath for like the 2nd half of the show. He was dying! to to mention Jack is dying too in Torchwood!. Damn it! And yes! Somebody actually… Finally died in Torchwood by natural causes.

Cross overs please :(

”You will feel a tingling sensation and then death.”

TV Review: Can’t Buy Me Love (TVB)

Title: Can’t Buy Me Love
Starring: Charmaine Sheh, Moses Chan, Linda Chung, Wong Ho Yin, Fala Chen, Ma Kwok Mingm Kwan Kuk Ying, Lee Heung Kam
Production: TVB
On Air: Astro On Demand (921)
Language: Cantonese & Mandarin (Subtitles provided)

Princess Chew Yeung (Charmaine Sheh) was very reluctant to marry a Tibetan Royal Family, so one of the Emperor’s concubines concocted a plan, so she could duck out of it, but marrying her off to Kam Du Luk (Moses Chan), the illed, silly, and humorous 2nd son of the Kam Family (owner of a gold store) Chew Yeung is really proud of herself and regardless having good quality personality, she is characteristically annoying to the Kam family, because she likes to  put her suspicions all out in the open without realizing her actions would give them so much trouble and heart breaks. Then there’s Szeto Ngan-Ping, her royal handmaiden who is also her best friend, quite a haughty character, disregarding anyone. Chew Yeung also have 4 sisters who don’t really like her because she happens to be Daddy’s girl. Fala’s character puts what I call spice in this series. She can be annoying and brow rising, but, I look forward to her scenes as well.

What can I say? it’s Charmaine Sheh! I love her to bits. I will watch whatever series she is in, especially if it’s period times genre. She could make me laugh and cry with her. I love her attire in this one. I love her love-hate relationship with her on screen husband. Moses is just .. “wow” he’s funny when he just goes out like a light and faint every so often in this series. but um.. he looks all umm.. blank and slow when he was trying to look smart but actually just drew to a blank. One thing for sure, I refuse to miss watching this! lol i love the humorous stuff, conspiracy and the seriousness in all the right amount in this. It’s rare for me to actually watch a period series that has royalties and humor mixed together. It blended quite well. The soundtrack is beautiful, but honestly, it’s doesn’t feel fit in this series. o.0

TV Series: Ghost Writer

Title: Ghost Writer
Starring: Steven Ma, Linda Chung, Fala Chen
Genre: Imperial China Era / Supernatural / Folklore.
Production: TVB
Watch @ Astro in Demand

Anybody who knows me, this sort of genre is my thing. This series is based on one of the folklore written by Po Chung-Ling (Steven Ma, who of course, happened to be the main character in this series)

In this series, we follow the life of Po Chung-Ling, who goes through several mystery adventures that's mostly accompanied by political corruptions. he is the heir of Jinan New Year Print Company, which has been in their family for generations. through the series, Chung-Ling goes through a lot of trials and tribulation which cost him family relations and friendship, not to forget his love interest Ling Wu Siu-Tsui (Fala Chen) who is also a Fox Deity. Both of them know each other since forever, whilst unknown by Chung-Ling.

Then, he met Lau Sum-Yu (Linda Chung). The love triangle began. After their encounter with a Nine tail Fox, the much too careful of a woman, found out Siu Tsui is a fox and decided to out her. but kept failing (demon & deity are two different things in chinese mythology) which cause herself alot of trouble.

What I think about it?

Well... It is one heck of an addictive series! I love it. Though when I saw Linda got turned into a fox demon, all I could think of it... IT SERVE HER RIGHT! hahahaha picking on poor Foxy Fala! The costumes are awesome as always. Fala is adorable with her white foxy ears that I can't get enough of it. But her character is so.... naive, I can just pity her. Linda, is quite the opposite, strong, tempered, eager.. but indecisive, it just too annoying at times o.0 Steven is well.. Steven just being Steven o.0 And Sunny Chan... god.. I can't get enough of his acting. =D

Overall? I call it a 5/5 (will edit after the end of the series)

Ling Wu Siu-Tsui (Fala Chen)

[TV Series] Doctor Who Season 5: The new Doctor! He's still a madman with a box!

This review kinda come later than it supposed to be, but I was waiting for the right moment and the new Doctor kinda need to sinks in well before I actually have the feel and know him enough to actually criticize. So.. what can I say of the Doctor after waiting for him since the last appearance of David Tenant? I must admit I miss David :(

Matt Smith is the new doctor and his first lines were, "Can I have an apple?" That actually dropped my jaw *laughs* He was an interesting one. He will never replace David Tenant big shoes (extremely big), but Matt Smith has proven to be a different sort of Doctor. A completely new Doctor. No more mopping around Rose alright. Thank god! That part was getting too old, regardless how depressing it was becoming. I have to say, I have to take what I said about him back. He is NOT Twilight Vampire sort of Doctor Who, and I am glad he is, cause that would annoy most of the fans entirely. *ducks for the rabid Edward fans*

Doctor Who productions has revamped everything in this season. There's a new theme song, this one kinda sound darker and more *runny* so I'm expecting big dangerous wicked episodes this season. More than last time. New police box, this one is sweet. New sonic screwdriver.

New TARDIS interior

What I think of the new companion, Amy Pond? She annoys the hell out of me. Seriously! Her curiosity is so unbecoming, I'm actually predicting all of her harsh actions in this series would be a huge liability to the Doctor. She be the death of him or as I'm hoping, she will grow up later in the series. I surely hope for the later.

As for the the special effects and the whole thing. I still say, good writers, and great cgi really brign the awesomeness in this series. I'm sorry to say, this Sci-Fi really kinda top any Hollywood stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love Star Trek and Stargate Series, but they will never top the simple but memorable show like this one. I am really drawn into this series, and I have been watching this show on repeat! Love it THAT much.

Note: I do hope Torchwood will come back soon. I hope there will be more Doctor Who and Torchwood crossovers *cross-fingers*
