*My Thoughts*
Ummm....Say whaaat!?! This was an interesting episode. Closing some open subplots and further diving into other subplots. The alternate timeline was interesting and fascinating which it gave us a view of a totally opposite world without Shadowhunters.
It has been pretty apparent that the series has moved away from the book. Like an "alternate timeline"... haha, character storylines have been altered to fit the direction the series is going, especially at the end of the episode. This will be very curious to see where the screenwriters are going with this. As I finished watching this episode, various theories ran through my mind. It did seem too easy that Clary and Jace fall into Valentine's hideout...and no one is there...except....you know! That is...if you watched the episode.
However, I am somewhat torn with how they are writing and portraying the whole "parabatai bond" between Jace and Alec. It does have that torn and dramatic flair to it, but...really...OMG...Will they get passed this!?! I know that the show is moving away from the books, but their parabatai bond has such an important influence in the books, I just hope that they are just writing obstacles that will test that. But, that bond is showing a lot of strain. Moreover, I am very impressed at how headstrong Isabelle has become. I am very interested in what will happen to her in the next episode. What will happen to her at the trial?!?
Well, I am still processing the events in this episode. I may have to watch it again...haha! But, I definitely can say that these events have definitely sparked my curiosity on what will happen next. Even the promo preview for the next episode just intensifies my curiosity.
Well, that's all for now, until the next episode Shadowhunters!
