The Adventures of Reztap meets Warehouse 13

Okay so, I finished a book this morning at 2 AM and was compelled to write a review of it. I also had a lot of time on my hands today and so I pre-wrote my Warehouse 13 reviews. So... welcome to the almost entirely pre-written blog post. ashamed0004 Free Emoticons   Shame

The Adventures of Reztap by Artemis Withers - Review

     The Adventures of Reztap is the tale of Tar Reztap and his best friend Gorth. The pair manage to find their way into, and then out of, many a mess. Saying anymore would ruin the story. tongue0020 Free Emoticons   Sticking Out Tongue
     Now, I'm going to be completely honest... This book was not for me. The plot was... scattered and hard for me to follow half the time. There were four characters (Tar, Gorth, Chuck, and Kalleen) I could pick out of the host of others and that was pretty much it.
     Tar was incredibly immature and hard for me to relate to. He's the unwilling, unwitting hero of the piece, I'll say that much for him. Gorth, the narrator and our guide through the book, seemed oddly stoic for someone who had to deal with Tar on a regular basis. I know I'd be tearing my hair out and slapping him half the time. Chuck... was interesting. Kalleen... well, she made me chuckle a few times, especially when she shot down Tar right out of the gate.
     My overall opinion of this book is that it's not for everyone. If you enjoyed and were able to follow exactly what went on in such books as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and The Restaurant at the end of the Universe, odds are you'll enjoy Reztap. Me, I'll go back to my vampire novels.

Warehouse 13 - First Five Episodes Reviewed

     Again, like with my Alphas review, I'm going to do a bit of a brief review of the first five episodes of Warehouse 13 and then a review of the most recent episode.
     So far, I'm really enjoying this season. I find the thing with Jinks, Claudia, and the Metronome really interesting. The Metronome's downside is quite the dilemma for our intrepid pair and it makes me wonder who died for Marcus Diamond last season. Unless of course I missed that bit somehow... ashamed0004 Free Emoticons   Shame Speaking of downsides, Artie and the Astrolabe have quite the downside. Of course, the monk guy isn't making life easier for Artie. Honestly, that bit where Artie can't tell anyone about what he did on top of stealing Artifacts... that's just ridiculous! Can't wait to see what's in store for the rest of the season! happy0158 Free Emoticons   Happy

Warehouse 13 - Fractures - Review

     So... I wasn't really a fan of how Warehouse 13 did Alice in Wonderland last time (despite Alice as Myka being hot love0010 Free Emoticons   Love). However, I did quite enjoy how the story Alice in Wonderland story held clues to other Artifacts. I'm not a fan of Alice's look. It's like: Hey, this girl's bat-shit crazy; let's make her look like a walking skeleton with hair. The super bruised-looking eyes were NOT necessary. sign0135 Free Sign Emoticon
     Artie and Vanessa were just so cute together! love0033 Free Emoticons   Love I really love it when Artie gets all flustered and lies to everyone but Myka. sign0141 Free Sign Emoticon I'm sad Artie never did give Vanessa that bell and that he's decided to be a miserable old coot. sad0146 Free Sad Emoticons Okay, actually, I'm angry about that. Here's why: Guys don't just get to decide when things are to dangerous for their girlfriends/relationship. That's sign0055 Free Sign Emoticon sign0180 Free Sign Emoticon.
     Claudia finally knows about Jink's pain-transference! sign0060 Free Sign Emoticon I just hope they don't end up having to kill him again. That would suck and probably damage Claudia beyond repair... probably.
     Overall opinion: Middling. Not the best episode, but pretty awesome anyway.

Okay so... that's the end of today's blog post. Hope I didn't kill anyone with the over-abundance of Emoticons during that last review. They seemed appropriate. sign0013 Free Sign Emoticon
     Anyway... that's it from me.

Love ya, Jessie. love0052 Free Emoticons   Love
