#finch legacies

Also they’re probably never going to address how MG was so clearly hurt by the way that Lizzie was judging Finch. It obviously wasn’t just about sticking up for Finch, it was because all of the words about her being a “cold blooded killer” could have just as easily been applied to him for killing Landon. He defended her and said it could have been an accident because he understands what it feels like to accidentally kill someone. But of course we’re not going to address this. Of course they have to push MG’s feelings to the side once again so that the white girl can get her feel good moment.

LOOK HOW GOOD JOSIE LOOKS

[suesheck]

So we get Methan/Finsie/Cleope, Dorian screentime, Hope being a badass once again, Finch being a werewolf, the Banshee plot line, Lizzie playing matchmaker with Jo, finding out Cleo is a Muse, and Jed being the hero again this episode?

This episode was a major success for me. Rating: 9/10 taking a point off because Kaleb wasn't there

Legacies Season 4: Episode: 7= B+...

''Or do I have to find that mother of yours that's never around? Kidding about that last part. Sort of.''

Okay now Hope, I like ya and all that, but don't come for the TVDU vampire Queen like that. Settle yourself. Let's keep it to everyone else.

In my hopes and dreams, Caroline would be back around this time and come out of nowhere and fix everything. Whether through emotion, or a spell, but alas. That's not going to happen. Which I can't blame Candance. She was cheated out of so many good storylines, I would have trust issues with the writers too. Plus, a decade-plus of her work was Caroline Forbes. Have your break Candace, we ain't mad. But seriously, lay off the absentee mother jokes. She's...proactively on leave (finding ways to say her kid's life, not sipping mai-tais on a beach.)

No!Humanity Hope is savage. This episode was hard to watch. Finch was right. This was a roast! Hope killed them. It would have been okay-ish if she didn't have the truth orb. They could have just comforted themselves in thinking she didn't mean anything she said, but nope! She did. In all honesty, though I kind of knew some of those. The Wade thing was obvious.

Respect for Pedro. I'm glad she didn't tell him that to his face, though he figured it out with his star burning.

I'll admit the Landon thing would have been a good idea...if it were the real Landon. If this was the episode, they figured out how to bring him back and there would be a big reveal. Definitely do it! But I saw Cleo's thing from a mile away.

Also, she was right in her talk to MG. Being a leader deals with more than just taking a seat on the student council and assembling the Squad. Hope did what had to be done to stop Malivore, and I genuinely believe that no one else can make those kinds of sacrifices. Lizzie, I thought so, and while I understand the hesitation about the spell, she could have completed it last episode. Let the girl have her moment with her father and then when visiting hours were over, lock the door and get it over with. Screw what Josie thinks. Or the rest of the Squad. They didn't always agree with Hope, but they followed her.

Side note: Lizzie did kill Josie in the therapy box and we saw that she did have what it took to do the hard things, so maybe, maybe not.

I actually loved the stand-off with Hope and Josie. I didn't think I would, no offense because I'm getting tired of dark!Josie, but it wasn't at all corny or pointless like how I thought. When Hope first had her switch flipped, I immediately thought of Jade, and figured, forcibly turn it on. Obviously, she can't, but I'm glad that was talked about. dark!Josie gave some truths to Hope that I'm glad she heard, even if they were a touch malicious. Psychological throw down. It was perfect.

What was annoying was the Jed/Kaleb side action going on. I get it, monsters back, a big concern in this Malivore-less world, and Kaleb is trying to win back trust, but still. We were already going back and forth with the big plots; I didn't need the side one.

I said it before, and I'll say it again. If they truly wanted Ethan in the Salvatore school, they should have made him a vampire or wolf. I didn't want him at all, but this invisibility thing, plus half-cocked plans are making them all look bad. He is literally clinging to this squad and finding a purpose. Stop. Just stop. I love Jed and Wade, but adding in Ethan, I just knew that Legacies would be more goofy and airy than the dark drama we want.

Moving On! The Wild Wild West country costumes are life! Is it just me or did Kaleb make ya'll jump when he took a step towards Lizzie? So, I get it. Twin Rik is the Alaric Saltzman we met first in TVD. The human hell-bent on revenge against Damon Salvatore for killing his wife Isobel (obviously we know that was bull crap now). The Rik in jail is the one that's at the Salvatore school presumedly older and wiser. Clever. Not too bad. Alaric gave up his old life for this peaceful life, but I'm with Twin Rik. Sometimes violence is the only answer. Also, she left behind her dad, so hopefully, that means in real life, they can leave behind Alaric for real! I also loved Lizzie and Hope's old western showdown. It was very satisfying.

Josie...is this a hint hint, wink wink, that she will be the heretic? Hopefully not. I voted for Lizzie. Although, since Josie wanted to turn her, maybe we'll get a turn 1, get one heretic free deal? I'm game!

And again! With the whole ''I'm not a monster'' thing. I can't keep repeating the same thing over and over again about that. Take a look at my earlier rants. To sum it up: They are all monsters. Quit hiding and lowering power potential! In my opinion, TVD had that part right. Vampires are vampires and not apologizing. Showing us the ups and downs. From there to TO to Legacies, it's all downhill. Very ''try to behave human''', ''Bad vampires-good vampires'', yadda yadda yadda. ''We're monsters in need of redemption''. I can't! That is the most annoying element of this universe to me. I love Caroline but even she killed me in TVD with that crap. Okay enough, like I said, I won't rant. Take a look at my season 1 reviews for more in-depth about it.

Uhm. People. I don't know if you've noticed but we lost our dark vibe. We had it for a while. It was great, and now we've lost it. Doing things like gameshows and comedy over drama. No darker stuff. It left us with fond memories.

Lizzie is in the correct headspace. No more Mrs. Nice Girl hopefully. Let's get even. Alaric did raise them wrong. They are supernatural. They need to be raised as such. Not following human laws and morals. Hopefully, this was a wake-up call to the Squad. Time to grow up and get the big pants on. There are worst things in life than being a monster.

This episode was a B. I'll even add a plus. I liked the Wild West and Hope's showdowns. To me, the episode went back into earlier Legacies and was more light and comedic. I've gotten spoiled with the first 6 episodes' darker vibe. Unnecessary turn over to Jaleb and that therapy box doesn't really help anybody if you think about it. And I'm getting annoyed with all these sleeping/coma/characters on hiatus things. Why did Hope put Josie in the therapy box? One therapy situation at a time (this was Lizzie's turn), I don't want to see Josies.

Still can't place that Triad female voice, but I do think Hope needs her humanity off to finish them and I do think it will turn back on after she's done.

Not horrible Legacies, but you've also had better this season.

[he-larious]

Josie has had 7 people canonically like her plus 2 good crack ships in only 3 seasons, damn the girl has been busy

[doyelikehaggis]

I just watched Legacies and oh my god, why was this episode actually so much better than the last few ones have been? I like this show again?? Okay, I'll try and coherently list my favourite parts:

• Kaleb and Hope interaction!! I love this duo with my whole heart and their scenes were actually so good. Kaleb putting his hand on Hope when he realized she was about to lose it, and then him trying to ask her what's going on, and understanding when she says she can't lost her home. Give me more of them.

• Cleo. Every single one of Cleo's scenes. Especially with Hope, oh my god, I ship it so much. Their little smiles at each other, the fact that Hope was the only one willing to be honest with Cleo without sugar coating it, and Cleo helping Hope try and break down why she's breaking down. Give me this ship.

• Josie was adorable in that outfit. The jacket actually reminded me a lot of one that Maya wore though which is kinda funny considering she spent most of the episode with Finch, Maya's ex, and Ethan, Maya's brother. But speaking of

• I really enjoy Finch's character so far. She's very different and interesting and I can't wait to see more of her. My mum keeps saying she looks a bit like Freya and now I can't fully unsee that either, by the way. But no, I really wanna see more of her and I'm excited for her and Josie.

• And still on a similar note: Ethan! I'm really liking his scenes so far! I want him and Josie to have a good friendship, and so far, they do! That locker scene at lunch was so sweet. I have a feeling he's going to be introduced to the supernatural world at some point, probably through Josie, and hopefully he finds out what actually happened to his arm!

• DORIAN IS BACK, BABY!! I have missed him so much, god. Headmaster of Mystic Falls High and still with Emma. It's what he deserves.

• MG, oh my god. I love that he's saying no because it's what he deserves after everything. He should be selfish after everyone's taken him for granted. It was nice to see him standing up for himself, but also I had a little ouch at his scene with Wade and Jed, because I love those boys as well and seeing them sad hurts me. And LIZZIE. Oh boy. I mean, it was a necessary conversation, but still! Ouch. And his face was hilarious when he realized that them sleeping together had been an option before he said no, poor boy.

• Gabby!! Or is it Gabbi? Either way, I know I am going to enjoy this little ball of sass. I didn't quite catch how she knows Penelope but I love it, and I love that she and Wade are like best friends??? That's so sweet!!

• Gunter trying to kill Alaric.

• The vague mention of Damon.

• ALARIC STILL TRYING TO PITCH THE SCHOOL TO GUNTER AFTER HE TRIED TO KILL HIM AND HAS HIM TIED UP??? SIR, STOP!

• Lizzie in general to be honest.

• And Hope.

• And finally, my boy, Landon. God, I just loved him so much more than I already do. I get it now when people say they actually like him when he's not with Hope, because something about his scenes in this episode felt so much more interesting than they have recently.

• He and Ted are an iconic duo to begin with anyway, incredibly hilarious, especially because Landon is a smug little dick around him and it's beautiful.

• Just casually sipping the milkshake while Ted has a tantrum. Shaking the tip jar and telling him to sing.

• Their fight to get the key was... hilariously beautiful. But their actual fight, oh my god

• When I tell you, I died. Seeing Landon with so much anger and aggression? The way he looked at his hands when he quickly backed away and fully grasped what he had just done? Honestly, Aria's acting kills me every time. That scene was really powerful and I want more of that Landon.

• ALSO HIM PUTTING HOPE'S NECKLACE ON PROPERLY. HELL YEAH.

• I just enjoyed everything about this episode, like, there wasn't a single scene that I wasn't squealing or wide-eyed in tense shock at. Give us more episodes like this one and I will actually start enjoying this show properly again!!

When Ric said the woman’s son was named Tristan I immediately thought about this fucker:

No way does it make sense but I panicked for a hot second.

But I also kinda wanted her son to be Sebastian. Like maybe that could’ve explained how he ended up in the Salvatore basement. Kidnapped by the English, forced to be soldier and then he died with vampire blood in his system and the whole Cassandra thing happened.

Like...they’re starting to add elements to get into an actual supernatural emerse world not just absolutely seclusion and isolation. Finch as a werewolf which everyone called, Cleo being more than just a normal witch which everyone also called, and Ethan getting pulled into the supernatural world which was the first thing everyone called but no one expected it to be as MG’s boyfriend. Like lol. The amount of chemistry MG and Ethan have within two episodes versus Josie and Finch throughout several scenes across a span of episodes. Iconic crime fighting superhero slushing slurping boyfriends.
