"A Change and Rise" Victoria "The Engine of Change" & "Young England"

Image result for victoria doll 123



"The Engine of Change" 

In a way change would come into the mind of Victoria.

In "The Engine of Change," Victoria deals with her first pregnancy and wonders if something should happen to her during childbirth, she has to choose a regent for her child. She believes that Albert should be, but the Tories doesn't think so.

It all changes when Albert gets his interest on the railroad and believes that it's the future for Great Britain, not only does he think so, he took a ride as well. This of course angers Victoria but soon changes her mind when she sneak out and hopped on and gets a real thrill from it.

With Sir. Robert Peel supporting that Albert should be named regent, all of the board members of the Tories followed along as well.

The episode clearly was majestic with scenery that it really took away some of the performance of the cast. There would be times that I was just so amused of just seeing the castle and even watching the locomotive run. The scenes with Skerrett and Charles were interesting enough to see how these two grew throughout the season and yet he impresses her with all the lavishing dishes he has served to her for a that evening with her, while Victoria and Albert were away. Talk about taking an advantage of the Royal place, right?

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.


"Young England" 

In the season finale, Victoria not deals with a baby soon, but deals with a matter of threats that could possibly be ordered from a royal family member.

"Young England" was genuinely not an epic finale but a superb on at that, with high drama coming in with Victoria and her final days of her pregnancy to even the moments of threats of death as one that got close to her and asked to take her away from the prison German of her husband to an assassination attempt from Edward Oxford, the first of eight to assassinate Victoria, that was pretty much get you on the edge of your seat.

Take what you will, but we would all know that Duke or Cumberland was the one masterful enough to set up an assassination since he was the one in line to take the throne if Victoria dies. It dives into some really dramatic scenes most of which watching Victoria standing up to Cumberland and walking away from him. And even a talk with King Leopold kind of gave a nice reassurance between the two after a rocky start in the season.

And of course, the birth of the future Queen as Victoria gives birth to her first child, a daughter named Victoria. It was mostly impressive that during her labor that Victoria finally calls her mother for support after what those two have gone through throughout the season as it was a lovely mother-daughter moment time.

Performances from everyone from Coleman to Hughes, even from Alex Jennings and David Oakes and Daniela Holtz too. The writing was strong that it closed out the season as it started off. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10 and the season a 9/10.

You can catch Victoria Season 1 on Blu-ray and DVD available now, the season two will begin Sunday, Aug. 27th on ITV and in the US wil air Sunday, Januray 14, 2018.

Wedding & Order " Victoria "An Oridnary Woman" & "The Queen's Husband"

"An Ordinary Woman" 

After Victoria's engagement to Albert, the two face off in some challenges before the wedding.

"An Oridinary Woman," was pretty wondrous hour of an episode so far. As Vicrotia and Albert are engaged, Victoria must come up with a price and title for Albert to have when he is married to her. But she doesn't see the need for him to have money, but things take off pretty much down slope when the Troy parliment doesn't like it and tries different opitons for Albert.

With that going on, Victoria hears about how not only her unlce still keeps his salary after the death of his wife twenty years ago, but still has an actress (mistress), but her father kept a mistress as well. Worried that Albert will have a mistress down the road, she confronts him after his salary and title offer, of which he tells her that he wouldn't have one and agreed to the terms of his title and salary.

The wedding was a complete marvlous scene to watch, witht he music and the choir and scenery it was just breathtaking to watch. I even got chills watching it.

The writing was pretty strong, even the acting from Coleman, Hughes was amazing, but also Rufus Sewell performance was good, mostly near the end when Victoria gets married that knowing he would be leaving for another position. But mostly the end where Victoria and Lord Melborne talk for one last time, he gives her a kiss and she runs off to her husband as if he was like her father.

OVerall, I give this episode a 9/10.


"The Queen's Husband" 

WIth Queen Victoria and Prince Albert now married, Albert must adjust to his duties.

In "The Queen's Husband," it shows how Prince Albert adjusting to his duties for which was not much and even walking his own wife to dinner, but that was until not does he get to walk his wife to dinner but he also gets a chance to give his own speech about emblashing slavery, for which he is for. And it pretty much brings everyone together, even those that has disagree with Albert before.

Meanwhie, Victoria ask for advise about sex and how to stop getting pregnant, for which is sneaks out and jumps up and down. She admits to Alber that she's not ready but we could see that it's gonna happen pretty soon.

Also Miss. Skerrett, must get in touch with her cousin and baby even during an outbreak in their neighborhood. The Chef helps her out and in return ask for Skerrett's first born name, which is Nancy. It's the first time that the Chef really doesn't act so creepy hiting on to Nancey, as he has been for since the beginning.

This was a very good episode. It's not has strong as the previous episode but it was good enough to watch and move on. Tom Hughes was really good throughout the episode. Most memerable moments would be of Victoria jumping up and down in the middle of the night, which was hilairous and Nacey thanking the Chef for what he had done with her cousin and baby, for whihc was sweet.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

Vicotira is available on Blu-ray and DVD. Season 2 will premiere in the U.S. in Janruary 2018.

The Perfect Match: Victoria "The Clockwork Prince"

Image result for victoria doll 123



When it comes to love, what seems to be a mismatch connection becomes a real love connection.

"The Clockwork Prince" was pretty much an episode of how Albert and Queen Victoria bonded and fell in love, in a way that was interesting and engaging. Even if we knew from the start that these two were to be married, it played so well with the characters, mainly Victoria of her feelings towards Albert.

Given that she doesn't play but challenges him as Albert does the same thing as well, making it 100 percent better than watching any of The Bachelor shows. Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes chemistary felt so real, that after watching this episode I drove right into episode five to see how things go.

And even Hell Hudson's character gave us an interesting story in this episode, showing how she's helping a family memeber and her child with money issues. As she tries to steal a few items from the Queen and that also includes a piece of her uniform.

The writing of the episode was so well written and really had my attention from the beginning to the end. Not only the performances from Coleman, Hughes and Hudson were amazing, but the rest of esnemble cast was as well. The senes when Baroness Lehzen brings in a new guy, who speaks German, plays with the rest of the house servents and gets a taste when the head speaks to him in German.

Overall, as I said before I really mushc enjoyed this episode very much. The performanes, chemistry and even story was really good. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Victoria on blu-ray and DVD availble now.
