OUAT and Marvel's AOS Finales Reviews
3 min read
Hello, hola, bonjour, und guten tag, my fellow Deviants. It's that time again, time for me to review the season finales of my favorite shows. As always, WARNING, SPOILERS BELOW. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
First up, of course, it Once Upon a Time. I would've written a review sooner, but I wanted to wait until I watched Agents of SHEILD, so I could kill two proverbial birds with one proverbial stone. Now, First things first, it is official: Henry is a teenager. I say this because A) he's going off on a reckless, half baked mission to destroy magic, and B) he's also subconsciously doing this to impress a girl (Who's the daughter of the Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court; crazy right?). It is also official that OUAT is giving stories that weren't 'Disney-fied' a chance. I have been waiting for so long; ever since we've learned that all the different realms of this show are Realms of Fiction. I mean, the bibliophile in me is screaming "YEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!" And seeing the Land of Untold Stories (FYI, love that name) looked like a Steampunk paradise. I certainly would want to live there. Then there is the case (pun intended) of Mr. Hyde. I must say, Sam Witwer was BORN to play Edward Hyde; he's got the voice, the looks (red eyes or no, he's still a sexy beast), the savagery and cunning to play him. I'm serious, he's just how I've always pictured him in my mind's eye; right down to the scar, the red eyes, and the wicked set of mutton chops. Wouldn't be sweet if Sam Huntington played Dr. Jekyll? The two Sams, together again. And finally, Regina's battle with her dark side. That scene in Neal's apartment alone was simply flawless. It made me fell in love with Regina all over again. Then her confrontation with the Evil Queen on the rooftop, truly poetry in motion. And with the Evil Queen coming back to play, obviously means she and Mr. Hyde are going to hook up. I've even thought up of a ship name: Hyde Queen.
Now, the Agents of SHEILD review. First off, I LOVE Holden Radcliffe. He's funny as hell, and he's a transhumanist, and frankly, it's about time Transhumanism gets represented, am I right? Transhumanism is the way of the future, people. I'll write more about my ideas of Transhumanism in some future entry. I hope we see more of Radcliffe next season; ally or villain, it works for me either way. Next, that scene with Hive and Coulson was awesome. We get to see Hive's real face (which looks WAY better than I imagined it), Coulson was at his best, and he was a hologram. HOW COOL WAS THAT!?! Finally, we have the dreaded 'Who Will Die' revelation. It turns out that the one to die was... Lincoln. Proving once again, Joss Whedon hates love. Well, at least it wasn't FitzSimmons (that's the only ship I care about on that show). I feel sad for Daisy, truly, but I just didn't see her with him. On a side note, the Goth/Punk looks great on her.
That's all for now.
PEACE!!!

Happy Holidays, Deviant Art
1 min read
God Bless, Ye Merry Gentle-Freaks. This is The Count, wishing all a happy holidays. It is the ol' 24th of December, Christmas Eve. I bet everyone's finishing up their work, be it shopping, decorating, wrapping, cooking, or baking, to make tomorrow just right. I also bet that everyone's excited for Jolly Old St. Nick to come tonight and deliver presents to you all. Just remember, it is the message of goodwill towards men that Christmas is all about and not commercialism and consumerism. And to those who think that, that makes you automatically naughty, and fair game for Krampus to find you and eat you. So, you better watch out!
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, und Gutten Krampus-Nacht, Mine Lieben Kinder,
From Count-H.
PS: Regarding my last posting of the year, I swear it will be done and posted on Deviant Art before the clock strikes twelve on new years.

I don't know about you, fellow deviants, but the Count feels like hammered crap. I caught a cold, and I've been to sick to write stuff. But, as a theatre nerd, the show must go on. And now I shall review the Winter Finale of OUAT.
WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW.
First off, when Regina sent Zelena back to Oz (or wherever that twister sent her), I miss her already. Sure, she's nuttier than a nest of cuckoos, but I think she's as hot as her sister.
Then, when Hook sacrificed himself to destroy the Dark Ones, and Emma ran him through with Excalibur, I couldn't help but cry. And when it was revealed that Rumple is the Dark One AGAIN!!! Will that giggling SOB ever learn? And then when Emma and the others travel to the Underworld to save Hook, I was like "whoa, deja vu." Am I right? I guess that makes Emma Orpheus and Hook Eurydice (That is a Greek myth and one of the first "love conquers all" stories, FYI.). To tell you the truth I had a feeling Hook would sacrifice himself for some time. I even imagined him tied up on the rack while stoically but with sad eyes saying, "Emma will find me," or something like that.
And speaking of the Underworld, I cannot wait for March. From what the promo showed, it will be awesome. One reason because all the villains who've died are coming back. I saw Cruella's car, so of course my lovely Irish rose Victoria is coming back (I hope). Then they're bringing back the Blind Witch (from the Hansel and Gretel episode, you know, "Butter or gravy?!? Butter or Gravy"); I wondered what happened to her. And they're bringing back Peter Pan; that little monster gives me the creeps when does that sinister smirk of his. And of course, they are bringing back the literal mother of evil herself, The Queen of Hearts, Cora. Of course, since she died with her heart inside her, hopefully she won't be the heartless bitch we all know and loathe. Another reason is that obviously Hades is going to show up since the Underworld is his turf. I really hope he's Lilly's father. Who wouldn't want to ship Hades and Maleficent. I also have a theory (I know they're almost always wrong, but bear with me.) that Hades would want to search for someone else beside Lilly and Malef. I am not saying who so I won't jinx it, but it is someone I have suspected to been keeping a secret for a very long time.
On a side note, I will post something soon. I promised and I will keep it by hook or by crook.
Wish me well,
Count-H.

"What's Your Favorite Lionel Ritchie Song?" Hello, (Something I heard watching the Rocky Horror 40th anniversary show.), my fellow freaks and/or geeks, this is the Count, wishing all my fellow Deviants a happy Halloween. That, and I am proud to say that I am just putting the finishing touches on the Templar Universe Guide. That's right, faithful watchers (if there are any), Templar is still on. You might have thought I gave up on my little project. On the contrary, I have been thinking up various ideas and characters for a considerable amount of time; I just didn't have time to finish and post any of them. The Universe guide will be the first of three I promise I will post on DeviantArt before the year's end; I hereby swear it. Until then, whether your celebrating by trick-r-treating, going to a Halloween party, or what I'm going to do and have a Horror Movie Marathon (There's a Puppet Master marathon on the El Ray Network. I'M A HAPPY CAMPER!!!), enjoy your Halloween.
Keep It Unreal,
Count-H
P.S.: To the spirit of David Delk, if you read this and are enjoying your romp back in the land of the living, come and swing by; you know my address.
