00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.520
Welcome to My vertical Obsession. And today we are talking

2
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:07.240
about call Me Alpha, which is located on short max.

3
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:09.240
And when I was looking this one up, this one

4
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.560
had two other names to it on short Max. One

5
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.160
of them is my dustined Alpha Mate and the other

6
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:19.760
is Stealing my Icy Alpha, and I don't remember those

7
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.600
being names for this one, so it was very interesting

8
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.160
to see that. And I've kind of noticed that a

9
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.440
little bit on short Max is that some of the

10
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:32.039
older ones that I watched kind of have duel names

11
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.960
or they have put out not two different versions, but

12
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.039
like two different cover photos for the series. There are

13
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:44.679
a couple that have two different versions. They're the same story,

14
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.159
but they kind of like added some added some scenes

15
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:52.840
in there, or changed the opening. And I've only kind

16
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.679
of really noticed it on short Max, especially with one

17
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:58.960
of them. And I went back and was looking at

18
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.840
which was like marriage to my Alpha, because I remember

19
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.719
there was two different ones for that one, and how

20
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.439
it started was different, and that kind of always confused

21
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.400
me how that happened. But it's also kind of interesting

22
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.239
to watch them both and be like, Okay, well, what's

23
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.200
different and did it actually change anything throughout the storyline?

24
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.000
And while I have not watched the one the other

25
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.079
ones for this one, only really watched They Call Me Alpha,

26
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.239
because that is the one that I remember. I may

27
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.439
go back and watch the other two and see if

28
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.799
anything has changed. I kind of just wanted to stick

29
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.760
to the one that I knew for this review for

30
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.480
right now, but now that I know that those are

31
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.840
out there, I kind of want to check them out

32
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:44.640
and see what has changed or what they might have

33
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.280
cut out slash added in, because I think when I

34
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.319
was looking for this one, I stumbled on it was

35
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.079
my destined Alpha Mate, and the way it started was

36
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.400
a little bit different than when I opened or played

37
00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.760
the one that I know, which is Call Me Alpha.

38
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.439
That's the one that I remember watching, and so there

39
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.760
are some differences, and I guess I'll probably go back

40
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.280
and check them out and see what they might have changed.

41
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.840
But this is one of the ones that I first

42
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:17.039
saw Seth in this I think this was also one

43
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.120
of his first ones, if not his first one, but

44
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.360
I'm not sure, but I just know that it was

45
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.560
the first one that I saw with Seth, so I've

46
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.719
kind of followed him since this particular series. This one

47
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.120
was always an interesting series to me. Because it was

48
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:37.000
a wolf were wolf story, but it introduced this type

49
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.520
of wolf called a steeler, and I don't think that's

50
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.240
ever been played in a series since, so I don't

51
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:44.879
know if this was just kind of like made up

52
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.840
for short Max and they kind of like we're the

53
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.800
only ones that were going to use it and keep it,

54
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.080
or if it is something that is within where wolf lore.

55
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.879
But I kind of liked the concept of the steeler.

56
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.800
It's the whole point of the steeler wolf. They were

57
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.319
kind of like a rogue wolf, but they had this

58
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:07.240
ability that any male wolf who had recently lost their

59
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:11.439
mate would think that she was their mate and destined

60
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:15.919
to be, which could complicate things because that wasn't true.

61
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.520
But if she was to find her true maate, then

62
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.960
she wouldn't steal or be stolen away. I think that's

63
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.120
how it was said. Yeah, it says that, you know,

64
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.000
she had to find her true mat or any widow

65
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.000
or maid would think that she was their true love.

66
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.439
But if she found her true mate, she would not

67
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.479
be stolen. And of course after she found her truemate,

68
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.039
which was Aiden Seth's character who was the Alpha, he

69
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.240
refused to claim her because she was a rogue, and

70
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.319
he didn't think that she was I wouldn't say worthy,

71
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.719
but strong enough to be Luna. So we kind of

72
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.919
kept her at arm's length and wouldn't claim her, which

73
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.319
of course kind of complicated things because now if she

74
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.240
was to interact with a wolf who happened to be

75
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.360
a widower, they could see that she is their true

76
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.719
love and it would just cause chaos, which ended up

77
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.639
happening when she met with Titus, who is one of

78
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:15.319
the border patrol wolves under Aiden. He had just lost

79
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.399
his wife and a Shira, who is the Steeler and

80
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:24.279
Aiden's mate, was going to offer her condolences and talk

81
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.000
to him as Luna of this pack. But when she

82
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.079
met with him, he realized she was a Steeler and

83
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.319
he was drawn to her, but he knew that she

84
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.040
was not his wife and she would she would never

85
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.480
be his wife, so he wasn't trying to take her.

86
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.319
But her bodyguard, who was good friends and part of

87
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:49.079
the pack and part of Aiden's loyal wolves, was there,

88
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:53.879
saw this, realized she was a Steeler, and Shira convinced him,

89
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.120
don't tell Aiden. I'll tell him myself, but I got

90
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.920
to do it in my time. Basically, of course, Aiden

91
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.279
ends up finding out in the worst possible way, and

92
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.920
he is upset with Seth that he kept this from Aiden,

93
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.600
and he kind of punished a Shar a Shira by

94
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.399
locking her in her room and not letting her leave

95
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.040
or go anywhere, But he ended up kind of bringing

96
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.199
back realizing that she wasn't trying to trick him, that

97
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.160
she did love him, and that it wasn't a ploy

98
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:28.199
because his family had issues with steelers before, and his

99
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.399
cousin was the son of a steeler, so he had

100
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.959
issues with steelers, and that's why he was very upset

101
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.600
when he realized that a Shira was a steeler because

102
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.959
he thought that this was all just a game. It

103
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:45.439
happened with his father and his uncle, I believe, and

104
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.360
how that all went down and then went to complicate

105
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:54.000
things more. Another pack kept causing issues, which was Elon,

106
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.759
who was the the pack alpha, and I wrote it

107
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.399
down and I can't can't read what I actually wrote

108
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:04.720
as their alpha their pack name, but he was causing

109
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:09.920
issues and trying to upset this peace treaty that Aiden

110
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.560
was trying to put into place with all the different packs,

111
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:19.480
and Elon eventually attacked Aiden's pack with rogues to distract

112
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.319
him so he could kidnap a Shira and kind of

113
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:28.319
turn her against Aiden. His original plot was to have

114
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.040
a Shia have his baby, but she was already pregnant

115
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.720
with Aiden's baby, so instead, when he talked to his mother,

116
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.439
she was able to give him this potion that would

117
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.319
cause a Shira to forget Aiden and think she was

118
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:45.759
in love with Elon and that that she was pregnant

119
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.319
with their baby. So in a sense, it was how

120
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.759
a Steeler was stolen, which was something that a Sheer

121
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.439
was warned about, is that a Steeler could be stolen.

122
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.839
She did not want to be stolen, but this potion,

123
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.839
since it was magic, she couldn't fight it. Then in

124
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:06.600
the end, with the help of the Wolf King, he

125
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.240
was able to bring a Shira back to Aiden, so

126
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.920
that way she remembered him and that they could be happy.

127
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.000
The only thing was is that their baby had this

128
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:22.120
strength because he was an alpha and she was a Steeler,

129
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:26.240
and it would be this strong and powerful alpha, so

130
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.199
that the alpha wolf King would take the child's strength

131
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.879
in order to bring back Shira's memories of Aidan and

132
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.879
their love. And Aiden took that deal because he wanted

133
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.560
a Shira back, and he felt that this was the

134
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:43.279
only way the baby was not to be harmed or killed.

135
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.079
It just happened that this powerful strength that this child

136
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.040
would have would no longer be something that the child

137
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:53.839
had in the end, and a Shia understood that, and

138
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.839
she was not angry with him for doing that, and

139
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.319
it kind of ends with the two of them happy

140
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.040
and watching over their baby. And also one of the

141
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.480
things that it ended with, which was very weird because

142
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.480
I never saw follow up, was that it said that

143
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.879
there would be a season two, which is not something

144
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:16.680
these series do. I've never seen a series actually do that.

145
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.439
I think the only one only ones that I've seen

146
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:23.920
since are Taming the Heiress because it actually said part

147
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:27.279
one on Candy Jar, so you knew that there was

148
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.519
going to be another part. Plus it was similar to

149
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.039
The Arrangement, which is another series that they have, and

150
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.600
that one had four parts to it in the end,

151
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.200
so I think they were kind of following it up

152
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.279
with that one with the multiple parts, and Taming of

153
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:45.919
the Ears only ended up having two parts, which I

154
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.120
feel like maybe they could do more, which I would

155
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.759
I would actually really enjoy if there was more to

156
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.399
that one, and then the other one that I know

157
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:55.600
off top of my head that I've seen is Love

158
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.919
and Blood, which said coming soon or not coming soon,

159
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.039
but to be continuous. So those are the two that

160
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.720
I know off the top of my head that had

161
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.080
some that said that there'd be more to come. And

162
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:09.519
this one was like an earlier one because it came out,

163
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.720
I want to say, in like twenty twenty three, around

164
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:17.519
the same time of True Luna and Atticist Fawn, you know,

165
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:20.519
the unwanted bride of Atticist Fawn. So I think maybe

166
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.720
they planned to have more for this one, but they

167
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.559
just never did. But I don't know. I just remember

168
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.480
that and it still shows when you play the series,

169
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.759
it still shows, you know, season two coming soon, but

170
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.759
I've never seen a follow up to it. Also kind

171
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.519
of curious how they would follow up to that one,

172
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:42.360
because I mean, it ended happy, it ended on a

173
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.679
good note. There was no real cliffhanger to that one.

174
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.519
I'd be very interested to see how they would continue

175
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.240
with that one. So one of the things about this

176
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.120
series that kind of always confused me, and I've always

177
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.360
had this question and rewatching it, it reminded me there's

178
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.960
this one scene that always kind of confused me in

179
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.879
this series, and when I rewatched it, it reminded me

180
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.039
of it. I always had that question. So when Asher

181
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.240
and her friend Lucy are kind of running away because

182
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.879
Lucy's in a terrible relationship with an Elpha and she

183
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.279
wants to escape, and Shira said that she would help her,

184
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:27.679
so they're running, but Shira ends up getting stopped by Zeke,

185
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:31.159
who is Aidan's cousin and the son of another stealer,

186
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.639
and he wanted to talk to Aiden about helping his

187
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.360
mother because she was sick and Aiden's blood is the

188
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:41.720
only way that could help her, so he figured Ashier

189
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.639
would be able to help her or help him help

190
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:48.159
his mother. And before we see this happen, it's said

191
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.039
that Asher's been missing for three hours, and when we

192
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:53.960
see her again, she's laying in bed kind of all

193
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.919
confused and looking injured and kind of weak. But when

194
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.399
they actually showed the interaction between her and Zeke, they're

195
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:06.320
just talking and then Nick finds her not long after.

196
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.840
So now my brain looks at that and goes, I

197
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.639
feel like those two don't match up. So it's like,

198
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.399
why is she in bed? Why did they say she's

199
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.480
been gone for three hours, and why does she look

200
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.039
like she was injured when the flashback didn't show any

201
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:25.759
of that. It didn't feel like those two scenes connected

202
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.120
the way they should have, and that always kind of

203
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:32.279
confused me how they fit together. I could understand if

204
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:37.639
maybe she was hurt unintentionally or she fell or something,

205
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.039
but it just that those two scenes never made sense

206
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.799
on how they connected to me, and it was always

207
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.720
something that just kind of annoyed me when I would

208
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:50.519
watch it. One of the other things that also kind

209
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.639
of annoyed me with it was the whole wrapping up

210
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.559
the story at the end, because we go from Elon

211
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:02.960
using the potion to stay a Shira to Aiden having

212
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.159
a Shira at their house and it's months later and

213
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.240
she's still not remembering who he was. So I kind

214
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:12.600
of always hated that they did that. They just kind

215
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.639
of jumped ahead and there was no like, hey, him

216
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.519
saving her, and I feel like maybe there was a

217
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:23.759
scene that I'm remembering of him finding her and her

218
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.600
being upset that Elon was dead. Maybe that was in

219
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.759
one of the other versions of this. Now I'll definitely

220
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:31.320
have to go back and watch them and see if

221
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.000
that is in there, because I feel like that was,

222
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.159
and for some reason, I feel like I remember watching

223
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.600
that even if it was kind of like a flashback scene,

224
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.720
because that's how I feel like I remember it, is

225
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.399
that it was more of a flashback scene that they

226
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:50.639
they still did the whole like jump for forward between

227
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:55.840
Ashira being stolen and Aiden being upset that she's upstairs

228
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:59.200
and you know, things haven't changed type of time and jump.

229
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.559
But I feel like there was a scene where he's

230
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.679
kind of remembering when he found her, and I don't

231
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.600
remember it being there in this version I watched recently,

232
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:11.480
like that I rewatched, So yeah, definitely, I'm gonna have

233
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:13.879
to rewatch the other ones to see if it exists

234
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.639
or if I'm just losing my mind. But to go

235
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.360
back to that, that was something that just kind of

236
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.159
did annoy me that it just jumped ahead, you know,

237
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.600
that you don't see him going to save her or

238
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.279
killing Elon, which I can also understand too because it

239
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.320
may not have been in the budget or it may

240
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.720
not be actually been in the script, but I feel

241
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.480
like it kind of would have been nice to see

242
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:37.720
just a little bit of that fight. But that's just

243
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.879
from my perspective, because I mean, you were building up

244
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:45.000
to this fight and building up to these issues, only

245
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:48.320
for it to be not there. So it was always

246
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:51.320
something that I just like wish could have been in

247
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.080
the series. And the last thing that I kind of

248
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.240
wish was there was Aiden going to see a Shira

249
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:02.159
when she was in bed and her remembering him first,

250
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:06.720
her running out to him and remembering him that way.

251
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:09.960
And while I loved that, you know, they were reunited

252
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.039
and she remembered him and all that, I kind of

253
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.720
would have loved to have seen it as he wasn't

254
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:19.399
sure if it worked or if he got her back,

255
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:23.279
but goes to see her and she remembers him and

256
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.679
they embrace, because I feel like that would have been

257
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:31.039
a little bit better storytelling wise than her rushing out

258
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:34.519
and remembering him. But that also might be something that

259
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:39.159
I prefer more when watching something. I just I don't know.

260
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:42.799
It just felt a little off that scene of her

261
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.559
running out type of thing. But I was happy that

262
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.000
she remembered him right away, that it just they got

263
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:53.480
their reunion and it wasn't delayed or anything, So I

264
00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:55.519
was happy about that one. I just wasn't a fan

265
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:58.440
of the way they united kind of, But all in all,

266
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.679
this still was a really good that. It was one

267
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:04.679
of the early ones that I watched, and I know

268
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.399
one of the things that I remember from watching it

269
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:10.919
was when a Shira and at Aiden we're in the

270
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.200
I wouldn't say garden, but they were kind of like

271
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:18.200
in the backyard walking through their garden pool area or

272
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:21.320
spring area before they kind of went for a run.

273
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:25.279
A share was all emotional and kind of going through

274
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:28.320
a lot. I remember when I first watched it that

275
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.799
was like, she She's gonna be pregnant, isn't she? Because

276
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:35.720
it it makes sense, and of course when that was

277
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:40.440
mentioned to steal the other Steeler, and then Elon mentioned

278
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:42.519
that she was already pregnant, I was like, I was right.

279
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.240
I saw that couping, and it just it just kind

280
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:48.120
of made sense of how they were doing the story

281
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:51.759
that that would be the outcome. And sometimes it's one

282
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.120
of the things that I like to do with shows

283
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.799
and series is kind of like guess where they're going

284
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:01.120
with things, just to be like I was right. And

285
00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:04.480
I know when I'm watching shows or even movies with

286
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:06.679
my parents and I go, oh, Okay, they're going to

287
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.519
do this and it's going to happen this way, and

288
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:14.000
then it actually happens. We always show it's like, oh yeah,

289
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:18.360
we write for these things, just because sometimes these series

290
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:24.200
and storylines that movies and TVs use, they've done them

291
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:28.360
so many times that you can just anticipate how it's

292
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:32.200
going to go, or you can see what direction they're

293
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.759
going in and just kind of pick it up and

294
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.240
be like, Okay, I know what's going to happen next.

295
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.440
But it's all out of fun and just one of

296
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.879
the things that I like to do every once in

297
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:47.039
a while is kind of joke or figure out where

298
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.200
the story is going to go. So that was one

299
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.080
thing that I could kind of figure out that, oh,

300
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.120
she's going to end up being pregnant because she's talking

301
00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.960
about how she's just so emotional and she doesn't know

302
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:01.039
why she's so emotional, which is actually kind of a

303
00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:04.359
little bit better than sometimes it's actually a little bit

304
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.440
better do I get that way, because sometimes these shows

305
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.200
do it a stereo stereotypical way, which is basically the

306
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.039
woman feels like she's going to be sick, throws up,

307
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:17.200
and then goes, oh, I'm pregnant, because that's not always

308
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:20.440
how women find out that they're pregnant. That's just a

309
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:23.160
stereotypical way, and that's the way that they like to

310
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.160
write it into series sometimes, so it was kind of

311
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.200
nice that they did it a little bit different. All

312
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:31.400
in all, they said this was one of the early

313
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.839
ones that I watched. I very much enjoyed it. I

314
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.000
also felt like this one was one of the steamier

315
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.640
ones to start out with, and if you've seen it,

316
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.119
you probably know what I'm talking about. But it was

317
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:46.720
a good one, and it was one that I will

318
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:50.799
continue to watch, kind of like True Luna and Attikis Fahon,

319
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:54.680
because it was one of the first ones that I watched,

320
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:58.000
especially on Short Match, because I know I started a

321
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:02.039
lot of the series watching them from Short Max. So

322
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:05.599
I have a bunch that I've watched and I'm going

323
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.400
to go back and watch them and end up talking

324
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.039
about them on here. And I know, like one of

325
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.119
the ones that I just watched or rewatched last night

326
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:17.440
was the back of the Unwanted Bride, and I will

327
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:19.559
do that one at a later date, but I just

328
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:22.559
remember watching it last night and being like, wait, there's

329
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.640
like a whole section of this that I don't actually

330
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.599
remember being in this, So it'll be fun to recap

331
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:34.039
that one. And it was kind of also like going

332
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:35.920
through them all being like, Okay, so which ones do

333
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.839
I really want to rewatch now? So that way I

334
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.799
can do the write up the reviews and talk about them,

335
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:46.400
because I do want to go through older ones, talk

336
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:48.279
about them. Like I said, this is going to be

337
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.559
newer ones and older ones put together. This particular one

338
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:54.200
I wanted to do because it is one of the

339
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.759
first ones that I watched, especially one of the first

340
00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:58.759
ones I watched with Seth, So I wanted to kind

341
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.079
of do like a little reward. I have a whole

342
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:03.960
bunch that are newer that I'll be doing, so we're

343
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.319
just going to go through different ones. And he said,

344
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.160
while I love this one, if I was to read it,

345
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:13.519
I probably rate it lower out of like a seven,

346
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.200
maybe like a six or seven out of ten, only

347
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.960
because it was like earlier on so I think kind

348
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:24.200
of editing wise, it wasn't the greatest. But again, I

349
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:27.079
might be viewing it a little bit differently because I

350
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:29.799
went to school for production and editing, so I kind

351
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.279
of pay attention to certain things a little bit too

352
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:35.039
much when I shouldn't. I should just enjoy the story.

353
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:38.559
Story Wise, I enjoyed it, with the exception of the

354
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:42.000
glossing over the fighting and getting a sheer back. But

355
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:45.319
besides that, storyline wise, I enjoyed it and I love

356
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.039
this idea with the werewolves of a Stealer. I kind

357
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:51.599
of would love to see that come back, even if

358
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.599
it's with short Max. I would love them too, Maybe

359
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:58.000
like do something more with that, bring it back. I

360
00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:59.640
don't know. And again I don't know if they had

361
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.839
plans to do another series, like a follow up to

362
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:06.519
that one. Maybe hopefully there might be or they still

363
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:09.480
might have plans. But I did enjoy it, and it

364
00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:11.960
is a fun one to kind of rewatch and be like,

365
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:15.519
this is how it all started. I said, Atic has

366
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.240
Fallen and tree Bluna the first two that I watched.

367
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.400
This is definitely in the first group. I have ones

368
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:23.759
I watched as well, but I know those are the first,

369
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:26.640
very first two that I watched. This one was just

370
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.359
within the first year of watching them, maybe even the

371
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.559
first couple of months watching it watching them. But again

372
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:36.960
here we are, so yeah. So this was call Me Alpha,

373
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:40.759
which again is located on short Max. It is also

374
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:45.200
under the name my Dustin Alpha Made and Stealing my

375
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:49.200
Icy Alpha. If you are interested in checking it out

376
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:51.599
for yourself and have not seen it. And this has

377
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:55.160
been my vertical obsession until next time.
