'The Mandalorian' - Episode 7 - 'The Reckoning'



We are getting closer and closer to the end. You can feel it. There is this big build up for something that is going to happen with TM and you just know that something big is going to happen. There are still bounty hunters out there searching for The Child, which only intrigues to his abilities even more. We all know that The Child is just a baby Yoda and Yoda can do anything. 

Let's try a new plan to try and buy ourselves more time. TM enlists the help of an unlikely source. Greef (Carl Weathers) returns with a deal that's supposed to benefit both of them. Not that we haven't heard that one before. But TM has no other options so he must do something. Good thing he has Cara (Gina Carano) there to back him up. She really is the only one that has proven herself. Side note, the scene where she is fighting people for bets is probably one of my favorites in season so far. It shows that she is a take no nonsense kind of character and I really think that if anyone could take down TM it would be her. 


With a plan in mind, Cara, TM, Greef, and The Child go back to a familiar place in hopes to get money and safety. TM earns Greef's trust when he as to save his life from what looks like a dragon attack (they aren't dragon but I have no idea what Star Wars calls their dragons). Anyways, Greef now owes TM his life so he can't double cross him. At least not yet. He comes up with another plan to take out the enemy.

Except, this time TM is not two steps ahead, but two steps behind. There is an ambush and it doesn't look good for him. Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) is there waiting for him and he wants The Child. Which by the end of the show he gets. This isn't going to bode well for the final episode. Is there a way for TM to get out of it or will we have to wait until season 2 before we can finally see what happens in the end? Whatever happens, I know it's going to be a cliff hanger because that is definitely Jon Favreau's style.

Wanda is struggling to keep control in episode 7 of 'WandaVision'

  If you are not already hooked on Marvel’s new TV show on Disney+ WandaVision then this week’s episode will certainly have you hook, line, and sinker. This week’s show is titled ‘Breaking the Fourth Wall’ and in some ways it breaks more walls then that. The show hits the 2000s and Modern Family seems to be the theme with some splashes of other sitcoms from the 2000s. I really enjoyed the commentary that Wanda and Vision have when they are talking to the camera. The glances and the 'knowing stare' from Vision are completely spot on.  Like the other episodes, this one is jam-packed with information so you need to make sure you are paying attention. Wanda is slowly but surely losing control of the Hex. The kids are noticing this and want to help but Wanda just thinks relaxing will help (not likely). In the reality part of the show, we discover that Hayward is trying to get Vision back so he can use him as a weapon (no surprise there). Monica and Jimmy meet with her friend (...

Review: 'Dominik' by Sawyer Bennett - Can Dominik tame Willow's wild heart?

In the 6th book of the series, Dominik takes the lead as he tries to get Willow out of his thoughts, but that proves more difficult the more time he spends with her. Willow doesn't want to tie herself down to this man, but the more she fights, the harder she falls. When you do book series like this, it's hard to like every single one. Especially when you unintentionally compare the books with one another. I had a hard time liking the relationship with Dominik and Willow. Perhaps its that we didn't really get to see the beginning (you hear about it in other books) or maybe I just didn't like the way that they are together. It just didn't tickle my fancy. They didn't have that 'it' factor that separates the story from others. I did enjoy the cat and mouse game that Willow was playing with Dominik. That part was entertaining. See a man of Dominik stature get frustrated and make moves that I am sure are out of his character. But even that got old aft...

'Sinful King' by Claire Contreras is now available

The Sinful King, a new, sexy, 100% stand-alone novel by New York Times bestselling author, Claire Contreras, is LIVE! If you had any ties to Marbella, it was impossible for you not to have heard the stories about Prince Elias and his debauchery. Every summer he arrived with his security detail and friends in tow and rented out a row of cottages near the water. Cottages that belonged to my family. Each of those summers, my parents sent me away – summer camp and later, boarding school. Anything to keep me away from the royals and their partying. I hadn’t been home in years, but when I finally come back for the summer, I see that not much has changed. Like all the summers I’d been gone, Prince Elias is back, but this time with an incognito security detail and no friends. This time, there is no partying, no noise, no crowds. No reason at all to even think he was there. I’m given strict orders not to talk to him, not to even look in his direction, but he makes t...
