Wild Speculation #38: Beauty and the Beast (2012-2016) Season 2 Episode 5, Reunion

“I'm sure you look good in them.” —Gabe to Cat, right before his adorable facepalm.

We got to experience Tess tormenting Gabriel for his interest in Cat, and his apparent inability to conceal it very well.

As far as beasts, we seem to be getting a new one fairly routinely now.

Also: Zach knew V!

And the awesome ending, with Cat staring at a photo from her graduation and seeing a certain “FBI agent” in the background. “I think I just found my birth father.”

Looking forward to what she does about it!

I love the moment where Cat kicked that judge in the face. I also loved Gabe's reaction when he found out. “Trouble is getting a flat tire. You flattened a judge.”

So, the Beasts are now starting to feel less cookie cutter, and more X-Men. What other talents might there be out there?

Brother! Brother's son! Also: Firefighter Vincent!

And Gabe is in love. Very, very lost. I am enjoying this season so far.

Wild Speculation #36: Wynonna Earp Season 1 Episode 12, House of Memories

Hi, all! I am Star Wars Syl and this is the Remember Clone Captain Keeli blog.


Warning: This post will contain spoilers for this episode, and any episodes that came before it.


I've been unimpressed with Wynonna's self-control, but next to Willa, Wynonna looks incredibly disciplined! I'm waiting for disaster to strike in connection with Willa's unwillingness to work as a team or listen to anyone but herself.

There was a sweet moment where Dolls reminded Wynonna how their first days were rough, but “Now I wouldn't want to fight with anyone else by my side.” Aww!

The moment where that poor sap in the terrarium stabbed himself was quite horrifying, but turns morbidly funny when we see Doc is just as freaked out as the audience, and offers up a queasy, “Wonderful!”

The Lead is Willa. Definitely. I think that's what the swans signify— she's going to Lead them out, free as a bird.

I will not be happy if they let Haught die. I need Haught to survive this season.

And here we are. Wynonna is torn between both Dolls and Doc, and blast it, I can't make up my mind which pairing I want to actually be the endgame! But I am calling it right now, as a wild speculation: One of them dies by the end of this season.

I'm very unconvinced by Dad Boss. I think once the list is through, Vincent will be added to the list as a P.S.

Cat did not fall for Vincent's fake memory! I love this woman!

Maybe the line I found funniest: “Hi, Sebastian. And I thought I had Daddy issues.” —Cat

I loved the fight sequence on the elevator. Awesome.

Cat's apology to Heather was beautiful and perfect. “I miss you already— I've missed you for three months...” Whew. I am sorry this likely means we won't be seeing much of Heather for this season, I really, really like Heather.

See you next time!

Wild Speculation #34: Beauty and the Beast (2012-2016) Season 2 Episode 2, Kidnapped

So I guess it is Vincent, after all. Ah, well. Brothers will be important eventually, I'll cling to that conspiracy theory until the last episode of the final season, and then sadly bid farewell to it as I move on.

Can we finally have Gabe be a goodguy? Not one who is helping because he needs to kill Vincent? Please let him be a hero now, I want Gabriel to be a hero...

Okay. Is a romance between Tess and JT in the works? Is that where we're going? Because that was not something I saw coming, though between Tess' dating woes and JT's, it's possible they've been setting this up all along... or not... but I'm thinking we might actually go this direction.

One last question. Just how many creatures are there?

Gothic Literature Explorations: Wuthering Heights Chapters 1-3

Hello! I'm Star Wars Syl and this is the Remember Clone Captain Keeli blog.



Warning: This post will contain spoilers for these chapters.



I am definitely enjoying the tone of this story, though I confess I had some trouble in the first chapter stemming from the fact that it has been a long time since I steeped myself in a book this old, and my brain kept snickering at all the potential innuendos scattered throughout the pages.

Once I managed to reset my perspective, the texture of the story began to feel like a welcome home.

While I have never read Wuthering Heights before, my preteen and early teenage years were filled with many an 1800s novel. It's been some time since I last read anything of that nature, and I'm discovering that I've missed the opulence and flair of the words used in that time period.

The main character's sudden need to be sociable appears to be a direct response to someone else not wanting to be so, which makes me think our “hero” is not being sociable at all, but a bit of a jerk, just to bother the other guy. Which is hilarious, and also makes me quite glad I know neither of them in real life.

I know nothing about this storyline, so this will be a brand-new experience for me.

Wild Speculation #33: Beauty and the Beast (2012-2016) Season 2 Episode 1, Who Am I

Uh.... wow!

Gabriel is alive, after that impressive riddling of his body with bullets. I'm quite surprised, but I'm also thrilled, because that means we get to have a deeper exploration of his character! Specifically, how he behaves/what he values now that he's alive, and not threatened with permanent insanity.

The instant they said Vincent's scar was gone, I guessed this man was his brother, which would be why the face scan wasn't a full match. Looks very similar, but not the same person.

Anyway. That's my wild speculation. It's not Vincent.
