Where the hell is my SVU renewal? I still have Grace and Frankie, When Calls the Heart and American Crime to catch up on and Girlboss, Feud and When we Rise to start. I won’t watch anymore The Good Fight till June, same with Transparent.

Greys 13.18

Ellen Pompeo’s directing debut. Every time they mention Ellis Grey it makes my week. Maggie’s mom dies after Maggie pushes he too much. Richard met Maggie’s dad.

Tell Meredith not to what? Drink too much? Fall in love? She never finished that thought.
I’m really glad she found you.
Meredith, darling, you’re fired.
I’d like to pay my respect you Ellis. Where is she burried?
I love my mother enough not to say screw it and throw her down a damn drain.
She is a happy person, she’s cheerful, this will give her darkness.
I think about my mother’s not all the time.
Ellis never forgave me.
Tell Meredith not to be afraid.
Goodbye, mom.

Bones 12.10

Bud Bundy guest stars. Betty White is back and no longer an anthropologist. I was shocked when Brennan told Wendell he clearly doesn’t like being an anthropologist, considering he’s been here since season 5.

He played Bud Bundy on married with children for like 10 years. I love that show!
Sounds like Bud Bundy just threatened our victim.
Most people don’t love their jobs, they don’t even like them.
Please, Agent Andy, this needs to stay between the two of us.
I’ve never even been to Los Angeles.
You’re gonna love it. It’s a place of schemes and dreams and pros and cons, all about the show.
I couldn’t breathe if I didn’t do this anymore. I was so excited to write my dissertation because I loved what I was doing, and I couldn’t wait to keep learning.
You’re too smart to waste your life away on something that your heart isn’t in.
I like my job, but compared with you and the other interns.
There’s something bigger out there, you need to go after it while you still can.
You guys are like my family here.
That will not change.

7/10

SVU 18.13

Just a reminder that Olivia and her adopted son Noah are both children of rapists. This is why SVU is the best show. They haven’t mentioned Olivia being a child of rape since season 15 and it may have been a boring episode, but at least Olivia mentioned being a child of rape. Olivia spent the entire episode talking how there’s no such thing as rape gene, and then she clearly was concerned about Noah turning to one.

He said that he was born to be a rapist.
No, it’s not real and it’s ridiculous.
I did it okay, I raped her I was born this way. I was born to be a rapist.
You obviously didn’t tell Carissi about your father.
Did you turn into your father?
It repulses you, because you’re not a rapist.
My father was a rapist.
I’ll love you no matter what.

4/10

The Middle 8.18

Remember how exceptional the first 6 seasons were? Absolutely fantastic, this season? Not at all. At least Axl and Lexie hooked up. And the phone cracking was relevant. People crack their screens all the time.

Is this college or nursery home?
And then you were a teenager and you were just as delightful.

3.5/10

The Goldbergs 4.19

Prom was not even half as good as I expected.

The real Jackie.

1/10

The Goldbergs 4.20

What is happening to this show, this was boring.

Greatest adventure of growing up.

2/10

Switched at Birth 5.07

I cried when Angelo said he’s proud of Bay.

I lost my biological dad the day I got switched, and then I lost him when he died, and thanks to you I just lost him again.
Ready?
I’m so proud of you.

5.5/10

Riverdale 1.08

My notes don’t explain how I gave it a 5, but I guess I enjoyed it.

Do you think you can walz in here with a bug infested trojan horse?
So you did to Poly exactly what you did to me.
A bou and a girl.

5/10

American Crime 3.01

Sandra Oh joined the cast. Are we supposed to be all in awe of this show, when it’s just a one long and much weaker SVU episode? Just like last season?

I want to arrest your pimp.
I sat here with kids your age, going through…You name it, they’re going through it.
Get them in, get them on a farm, get them working.
Don’t rush, go do your job.
Wanna hang out with me and my boyfriend?
Nah.
Go get your ass up, go do some work.
If you let me, I will do anything I can to help you.

4/10

American Crime 3.02

Lynette Scavo is the only precious one this season, and I know last season we were supposed to hate her, but I feel like thisyear, her character is going to be very likeable. The only storyline I’m not enjoying is the one with the teenage drug addict working on the farm. The storyline of a father looking for his son never gets old.

If there’s a good way to talk about exploitation.
They’re spraying pesticides while we work, cover your face or you’ll be breathing poison.
What do men do with women?
My son.
Yeah I’m pregnant.
Have you been pregnant before?
Yeah.
How did that pregnancy end?
It ended.
They were trapped inside?

4/10

American Crime 3.03

The show finally got interesting with the Raping Fields and they even went as far as opening the episode with rape. But where the fuck is Lili Taylor?

I’m asking if I can do something.
I’m pregnant again and I’m not gonna keep it.
I don’t care about the phone, I just wanted to use the camera.
Just in case.
He’s my son.
You know what they call the fields?
The Green Motel.
The bosses think they can do whatever they want to women.
They can do whatever they want, nobody cares.4/10

I will not be posting reviews of the last two Bones episodes, simply because they were the last two ever, and they were perfect and emotional and I wanted to really take those 90 min in and I believe I’ve succeeded. I was back to being a teenager falling in love with Bones for the very first time all those years ago  Also, I will be posting a separate single review of Thirteen Reasons Why.

Bones 12.09

Gordon Gordon is back and David’s wife guest stars. And it’s a hell of a final season!

Ah yes, poor doctor Sweets.
I could hardly pass this gorgeous creature without saying hi.
Buck and Wanda.
It’s not a good time, I’m looking for trees.
Bones, you’ve got this. I love you.
Bone crasher.
My wife and I have a few questions for you.

9/10

Greys 13.16

They’ve cast Eric Roberts as Avery’s dad!

I’m Jackson Avery, I’m your son.
Jackson, oh son!
You’re a surgeon?
Tell me something, anything, I know nothing.
I guess what I’m asking is are you happy?
I was born into that life and she was born for it.
Jackson, now that’s wonderful.
Thank you mom, for everything.

8/10

Bates Motel 5.03

He killed her, then froze her, who does that?!
She was everything to me. Our mom was crazy, she locked us up in a room for a day, two with no food, no bathroom. And the thing that got me through all that was being with Norma.
When did you two split up?
She left when she was 17. She took off with some guy from high school.
Because you were raping her.
I don’t wanna talk about that.
You don’t need to announce her, You’re not our butler.
It wouldn’t work because you’re both in love with me.
He’s your son.
And you’re my brother.

10/10

Bates Motel 5.04

He just ran out on the road, got hit, no one is at fault.
Don’t ever do that to me again.

2.5/10

This is Us 1.12

Well those Jane Fonda tapes are really working for me.
I want to freeze the time with them, so I can get a little bit more.
He’s pretty much perfect. I’ve seen what else is out there.

6/10

This is Us 1.13

What’s beneath the weight is more weight.
He’s this incredible little person.
They all loke him more than me, everyone does.
I have seen, and I’m not exaggerating here, every romantic comedy ever made.
Sounds like a recap, not a question.
In loving memory.
My ex husband, who i haven’t seen in 12 years shows up on my doorstep, what am I supposed to say?
You always have to go big, don’t you, Pearson?
For you, Sophie, always.
Sophie’s Kate’s best friend.
I can’t dad. I love her.
So this whole party was for Sophie.
I couldn’t make Kate feel better.

10/10

This is Us 1.14

How’s Kate?
I created a fake Facebook profile, so I could keep up with you.
You walking into my fourth grade class was the best thing that ever happened to me.
He worked himself into a nervous breakdown.

6.5/10

Modern Family 8.18

Man, that stuff is good.
Yes, we’re not an idiot.
What’s your team?
Gay. I’m not sure why that’s relevant.
This is the first part of every Lifetime movie about college girl meltdown.
And Tony from the Warehouse.
Watch a jerk steal your spot.

I have decided to leave Grace and Frankie, When We Rise, Feud and When Calls the Heart till April/May. I won’t have time to catch up on Transparent till late May. I’m starting Thirteen Reasons Why later next week. There’s also 10 films expiring on Netflix today and tomorrow that I want to watch.

Bones 12.08

That slow motion shot of Tempe throwing dirt on her dad’s caskett was one of the prettiest things I’ve seen all year. Sully is back, 10 years later.

Max used to buy this soda for the kids.
Sully, the only guy besides Booth who ever stood a chance.
You’ve aged.
Am i imagining or is there some sort of history there?
Without Sully, I don’t think I would have been ready for this, us. And I love this.
I love you.
I love you Bones, always.
My father gave up his life to protect my children.
The hardest battle Max Keenan started was over 10 years ago when he reentered my life.
Bye, dad.

5.5/10

Bates Motel 5.02

Vera’s French is the cutest thing I’ve heard in a while! Caleb finds Norma’s body. There were so many beautiful scenes this episode, including Caleb crying on Norma’s grave. I don’t understand why is Norma surprised Norman wants to date a girl that looks exactly like her, he was sexually obsessed with her last season!

I’ve gotten to know this nice girl Joanna, she’s really cute and nice.
I’m studying French.
What kind of French course is this?
Your sister, she passed away. It was a terrible tragedy. She died. She comitted suicide. It made the local news.
Norma Bates 1974-2015.
Norman Bates 1995-
I’m more of a doer.
What is it you’re always doing?
She looks like me, just like me, but 10 years younger.
Are you gonna be one of those guys?
Dylan, Norma’s kid. Your kid.
Don’t you dare talk about her like that!
We don’t have to talk about how you raped your sister.
She wouldn’t kill herself.
I warned Norma about her kid. I told her he’s gonna snap some day, she didn’t listen to me.
He’s not gonna get away with it.
Holy shit.

10/10

The Middle 8.17

Sue looked so pretty in that party dress! I was shocked to learn she likes Sean!

I’m not getting up at 6 to buy books.
I should have stayed at Ferguson.
Local woman finds hat in a tree.
I made the Dean’s list this year, of people graduating.
Anything you’d like to tell me?
Happy Birthday to you!
That was 5 months ago!
Cindy was the famme fatale.
You look so beautiful!
Do you need someone to go with you? Ron, get over here!
I was chasing something that wasn’t probably ever a thing.

5/10

The Goldbergs 4.18

Duh, that’s why she’d take the class. To learn.
Known as Bare.
She’s making them wear a bunch of schmatas.
Fuck me.
All that matter is me and you.
9 kids, are you crazy?!
There’s a medical emergency.
It’s time for you to start your life.
In loving memory of Lucky.

6/10

This is Us 1.11

Or girlfriends.
I prefer that.
See you’re not homophobic.
The thing is, that I’m kinda in love with you.
He told me that he loves me and I didn’t say it back.
I’d marry the hell out of you, ever since the moment I met you.
This is gonna be a great place to raise a family.

5/10

Riverdale 1.06

School for troubled youth.
I’m here to see my sister Polly.
Does he know that I’m here?
Who, Polly?
Jason.
Polly, Jason is dead.
I pay the sisters good money, you think they don’t notify me if Polly get’s a visit?
Did you kill Jason Blossom?
This whole car is a crime scene.

4.5/10

Big Little Lies 1.03

Reese crying over learning her new friends has been raped is the single good thing on this show.

Can I call you Madeline?
As opposed to what? Arthur?
And then he got aggressive.
Then he finished.
You’re the first person I told about it.

2/10

Big Little Lies 1.04

So Reese was sleeping with that colleague of hers? And I thought this show couldn’t get any more predictable. And what up with that random car accident?

Somebody’s biting our daughter.
She was sexually assaulted.
Anything in his background?
Like he was angry he had come to this world.
Plan? For what?
For what to do when he hurts you.

3.5/10

Big Little Lies 1.05

Wait so the play is about puppets fucking and they all think it’s appropriate for children?!
Why don’t you and Doug have sex? Because I was raped?
I’d kill him if I could.

Bones 12.07

Bones 12.07 was unnecessary. Did they really have to kill my favorite recurring character off?! He almost freaking made till the end! I am so mad about this. Rest in peace, Max Keenan. Max died saving his grandchildren. This was honestly one of the saddest episodes we’ve seen lately. I’m actually crying while rewriting these quotes, because I remember when he was introduced like it was yesterday. Why Bones why?! Max, you were awesome.

You had a pacemaker ingested into your chest and you didn’t tell me?
We’re sending you to a safe house.
There’s been a shooting. It’s the safe house where we put Max and the kids.
Where’s grandpa?!
They weren’t expecting your father in law.
Your father in law made sure they didn’t hear anything.
Pacemaker sends signal.
Tell me those children are okay.
Tempe.
I can help.
Dad, I’m here.

7/10

Bates Motel 5.01

Norman is daydreaming his mother is still with him and imagining someone who isn’t there being right next to you is the most delightful and painful way to get through life. I know best, I’ve been doing it since I was like 6. I just don’t understand why they’re introducing some Norma look alike as Norman’s future girlfriend. He’ll kill her by the end of the series anyway. Emma and Dylan had a baby?!

Oh, mother.
It is what we signed for.
Norma Louise must be over the moon about this.
We are Bates Motel, this is not that kind of establishment.
For starters, I’m dead.
A mentally ill boy and a dead woman. We’re doing it. We’re actually doing it.
I don’t know the exact circumstances of how he came into this world.
It’s not like we haven’t done this before.

7/10

Greys 13.17

That Cristina reference and Ellen taking as back to season 1 with her deliverance. The way she said ‘name one’ and we’re back in season 1 listening to her wanting to learn more about Derek. Mer and Nathan are happening and I’m very happy with it. All I can hope for is that season 14 is set in New Zealand. Ellen’s directorial debut is up next week! And I need to rewatch the episode, because Snapchat deleted my snaps of that Kiwi boy speech when he said he worshipped Mer since day one.

We were surgeons, now they’re surgeons.
Her reasons are for sex.
When I said I do, I meant I do.
How could you let me talk to her like that?!
You are at least as messed up as I am.
I would love to ask Cristina how suffocated she felt by you.
You don’t get to call what’s normal.
I was already an amazing mom.
16:22 is the time of death.
I think I’m in love with Jo.

7/10

Nashville 5.11

So when is Nashville back from the hiatus? In June? They all sang with Rayna and it was beautiful.

Why did they want Maddie and not both of us? We both sang.
We’ll have Juliette’s album and we need to get Maddie in the studio as soon as possible.
They’re about undying love.
I hate that I can’t share it with Deacon. Each year I want to pick up the phone and tell him.
I just forgot how sad I was for one moment and I feel like the worst daughter.
After all those years ot feels like we’re 19 again locked our eyes for the first time.
God knows the both of us, we tried.
That’s the only way we can finish it they way she would have loved.

10/10

Switched at Birth 4.05

I don’t think she knew what it meant, I didn’t. I had a history lesson before I got out of preschool.

She meant wherever you came from.
I stayed up all night, went to different pizza parlers.
I don’t matter, they’ll just let me starve to death.
Until they’re expelled, I’m not eating.
This is for the people who told me I’m pretty, for a black girl.

4.5/10

The Goldbergs 4.15

Adam went to school with that kid from Little Rascals! Shitty episode otherwise, at least Erica and Jeff hooked up!

This is Dave Kim, a tiny freshman creeper who dresses like Welma from Scooby Doo.
When it’s really Jeff Schwartz who you love.
The real Rid Robb.

2/10

How to get Away With Murder 3.15

Gow old was Charles when he raped Wes’s mom? 16?! I am so hating this whole thing about who killed Wes.

I’ve been running for 10 years.
3rd floor bathroom.
Another entitled law student.
I’m gay. Not eating for 48 hours is only gonna up my shirtless selfie game.
This is so illegal.
So is killing your professor’s husband.
Your husband took what he thought he deserved, raped that woman and  life came out of it. A black boy that you and he could never love.
Christof wasn’t Wallace’s son, he was Charles’s.
All along supporting your son, the rapist.
That he was my Barrack.
When did you know with Wes?
When it was too late.
They found Rebecca’s body.
He was a murderer.
I’m doing this for you, all of you. So you don’t have to go to prison and get naked in group shower and crao in front of people that may rape you. It’s death in there.
You can’t go down with what I did.
Wes killed my husband, he confessed to it that night. In the end he was a monster and he killed himself.
Better to kill yourself than to go to jail.
It should have been me, I know that. He’s a rapist and probably a killer.
Stop that girl!
He felt like my son.

10/10

This is Us 1.10

Did they just ask an obese person if they binge? Why do you think we can’t stop? Toby has a heart attack.

Do you ever binge?
Yes.
Maybe when you were a kid.
Also lat month.
Di I do this? I did, didn’t I?
With the food. I didn’t know If I was bringing it up too much, or if I wasn’t enough. I never knew what to say. Did I do this to you?
I don’t know.
The one thing I cannot live without is you.

4.5/10

The Simpsons 28.16

The Parent Trap reference! Can we discuss how this show is still in its prime 28 years after it premiered?

Every night they showed us The Parent Trap. What kind of parents break up twins and never tell them the other exist?!
Simpson, I’m giving you a raise.
No need to take your pants off.
It’s not what you think. I just had a big lunch.
I do everything, but masturbate.

8/10

The Good Fight 1.03

Really mad about Maya turning out to be bi, not gay.

I’m Marissa, by the way.
Maya.
I work for Diane, but when she’s out and you want anything, let me know.

Modern Family 8.15

Britney Queers.
Loco.

3/10

Riverdale 1.07

Kudos for that Wes Craven reference! RIP horror genius.

Like an extra in a Wes Craven movie.
We need to find Polly before the Blossoms do.
The noose is tightening on your murdering daughter’s neck.
He was working for me, the weekend of July 4th.
My niece or nephew.
My parents, I don’t think they want to help you.
Everything for Alice Cooper’s daughter.

3.5/10

The Good Fight 1.02

I’ll rape you and cut your tits off.
See, it’s not so bad. *man’s toilet*
Who’s that?
My new assistant.

Big Little Lies 1.02

Go fuck yourself.

I’m not having sex.
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
Sexual assault? He kissed the girl!

Bones 12.06

Are you looking for a praise for performing the most basic tasks?
While Greg is an adequate security guard.
This is exactly why you shouldn’t call me Bones.
Oh good, cause it happens all the time.
Brought her own healthy food in those little topaware containers.
Yeah, I know the type.

I’m like a forensic foodologist.
Vibrations of the anal.
You can’t hide from me, you lamber slut.
That was obviously meant for you, ogr.
I found proof that Zach didn’t kill the lobbyist.
You think I planted evidence?

10/10

Greys 13.14

Kudos to Greys for bringing the psychiatrist back! This was an awesome episode, especially Meredith remembering Ellis and Derek.

I don’t do reunions. I don’t need to do superficial conversation with a bunch of people I barely remember.
How can she suspend you, don’t you own the hospital?
Put your hand down, intern.
We now only have one good kidney between them.
The husband, the son of a bitch wants to give his kidney.
I don’t want to be reinstated unless Richard Webber is as residency director, Minnick goes.
It looked like an abduction, press conferences, we walked through the forrest with flashlights. It was all we thought about for years.
You just got to let it go ok, Jo?
Oh my god, he’s an abusive husband.
I don’t know. I would just be happy she’s alive.
They gave up on her, they just buried an empty box in the ground and moved on. Had lattes, saw movies, they just lived their lives and all while their daughter was out there walking around in the rain in pain and they will never forgive themselves for that.
They shouldn’t.
Meredith, go back, don’t waste another day.
I want to, but every time I try, I keep hearing my mother’s voice saying ‘Meredith, it’s Richard’.
Hi mom.
Hi Clairebear. Come sit with me. You can sit with me.
Looks like they’re getting their little girl back.
When Derek died there was one day, just one day where i didn’t know where he was. I pretended everytjing was going to be okay, but inside I wa going crazy.
You see how people turned out, if they realized their hopes and and dreams or if they have lost their hopes and dreams. Or maybe you see that they have found what we all should find, brand new hopes and dreams.

The Goldbergs 4.13

Thanks to our mom, the old Erica, that everyone loved, was back for good.
And for one night, disco was back.

We’ll always be Chadam, even if you’re in Hollywood and I’m running a flower empire.

Chad Kemp, still my best friend.

This is Us 1.08

The plane scene was everything!

Every time we take a picture, they always say, okay, now one with just the twins.

I gotta get a handle on myself on the weight and all of it.
Don’t worry I booked both of the seats.
Here’s your seat extender.

Why is there a photo of me in a letter you sent to William’s apartment.
Your family is amazing.
I want every Thanksgiving to be like this for the rest of my life.

5/10

Switched at Birth 5.03

Thank God for the sexual assault storyline.

She lost her V card with him.
I can’t believe you made it to Paris before me.
Prom tux!
Prom tux!
Not so loud, Deaf girl.
What’s going on? Are you to friends? Oh my god.
How could you be with him after what he did to me?
I know what I said.You’re not allowed to forgive him for what happened to me!
Sometimes life happens.
So long, Schmingo.
Do we really have the right to be judging who your ex-girlfriend’s dating?
When she’s dating your rapist, we do.
How can you be with this guy after what he did to Bay?
Tell him to back off or I’ll do something I should have done a long time ago.
I’m so sorry I wasn’t there for you.
You were in China.

She was in so much pain and I wasn’t there for her.

I feel like Lady Mary in the last season of Downton Abbey.
I can’t go to the mall wearing my house heels.
They can’t super reject him, even though one of the schools used that exact phrase.
They will not just accept any cadaver.
That’s gas! How’d you get your licence?!

Bones 12.05

We learn that Fisher had a thing for Brennan and wrote a fanfiction of them having sex and solving crimes together.

Boner Street.
Is Brennan really going to narrate her new book?
Contact lens. if we can pull his fingerprint off of it.
I myself spent time in foster care.
I have to record an audition.
I attended North-western.
I assure you, offence was taken.
More of an Adams Family kid?
Spiders, how about a warning.
Don’t ever take credit for how well I turned out.
A plot centred around a tormented intern who had an affair with his boss.
You’ve not only read my novels, you were once a devoted fan of them.
Despite your apathetic affectations, there are things in this life that bring you joy.

Nashville 5.08

Rayna’s attacker said everything we ever wanted to say to our favorite artist. Thanks for being there in my loneliest moments and understanding me when no one gave a crap.

I’m not going to a show with a creepy dude following me around.
I want to do my next album with you in the choir.
I got my period. I need new clothes. My clothes got all messed up.
I remember you and Rayna sneaking around when I was little.
I can’t believe Maddie called you.
I’m gonna push Highway 65 to sign you.
You’re not this angry kid anymore.
I wanted to tell you that you understand me better than anyone I’ve ever known.
How can that be true? I just met you.
That’s not true.
You met me the day I heard your first single on my Mom’s stereo back in West Memphis. You spoke to me in a way that I couldn’t speak to myself. You changed my life. You’ve known me for a very long time. And all I’ve ever wanted was to meet you.
It was given to me by an awful man. An alcoholic abuser like your husband.
Deacon’s not an abuser.
I wanted to talk to you ’cause I could see that you were different.
You weren’t like the ones that lie, and make fun of me behind my back.
Make up stupid excuses like I don’t know what’s going on.
You think you’re the only person who’s ever been abused in your life? I didn’t say that.
Well, I’ve got a story for you. And this is not something you’re gonna find on the Internet.
You wanna hear it? My father was a sociopath. Killed my mother, covered it up. And that happened when I was 12 years old. And I have to deal with that every day of my life. And then sometimes it gets to me, and I overcompensate with my husband. And in my business, and I say things to my daughters that I know deep down are just gonna make ’em want to run away from me. But it’s like I can’t help it. Cause that horror, it’s just right there at the surface. And I don’t want them to feel that.
And I don’t want them to think I’m feeling it. So I write songs and I sing them, cause that’s the only way I know how to deal with this pain that I carry inside me.
And that loser husband of mine? His daddy whipped him every single day. And that’s the same piece of crap that got him drinking in the fourth grade.
How is it we can be so awful to the people we love the most? That just makes me so angry.
Makes me so sad. I know you’re carrying that kind of pain too.
I see that.
But the only choice we have is we got to go on.
We can’t give in to that.
You give in to that, that evil man, he wins.
‘Cause that means he broke you just like he wanted to.
Now you being here right now, you’re giving in to it.
I have two daughters who need me, okay?
You’re working with Rayna James, right? 911 from her phone.
My husband goes by his middle name.
And that’s the same thing that got him drinking in the 4th grade.
I have two daughters.

Switched at Birth 5.06

Bay messes up good tattooing a gang sign on a kid’s arm.

It says here you’re 200 pounds.
I lost a lot of weight.
So you can just tattoo that?
They’re looking for diverse teachers.
I wouldn’t be pre-med if it wasn’t for you.
I had a heart transplant 3 years a go, on April 14th.
You have Angelo’s heart.

How to Get Away With Murder 3.11

Got him into law school.
We’re just gonna sit around and act all victimy.
You can call me whatever you want.
They think you’re a joke now.
This bitch. I’m no joke.
She did a DNA test on Wes, idiot.
I was pregnant 8 months, they killed my baby.
Sorry about your baby and Wes too.
Did you know her when she was pregnant?
She admitted she moved the body.
Wes was cremated.
I think Connor is the annonymous source this whole time.
That’s why we’ve been following you and trusting you. Because you said you knew what you were doing, but now one of us just got killed and we need to find out who did that.
You checked your voicemail.
You went to Annalise’s house that night, didn’t you?

9.5/10

The Goldbergs 4.17

Adam swears for the first time and everyone gets their own jar. Adam gets an Adam jar for everytime he says something nerdy. JTP gets a new member.

Who taught you to do this?
You.
It’s gonna be fucking fun.
We’re like best fucking friends.
Oh, fuck , you’re so adorable.
Adam Jar for every time you say something nerdy.

The Simpsons 28.14

Smithers, the bodies. ‘Christmas decorations’.
People don’t deserve so many awards. People suck. They should just be glad to be alive.
Tofu bell.
I’m sure you have an explanation for where you were?
The best! I was eating hotdogs.
That is so stupid, it must be the truth.
Well, you were young then, and you’re stupid now.
If we split up, no one gets Homer.
That’s when I started eating my emotions.
I’m the smartest ball in the bag.
I would never forget you, how could I?

Modern Family 8.16

Nathan Fillion and Jane Krakowski guest star yet again in one of the most plain and uneventful episodes of Modern Family. Mitchell goes on a tea brunch with Hayley and Nathan Fillion and Cam join them, meanwhile Gloria fights with Jane Krakowski’s character.

You know it’s loud when you can’t hear my voice.

Scandal 6.04

Cyrus is stuck in prison and we learn that he did not do it.

I’m leaving you.
You said you’d never leave me.
Ready for the belt now?
Everyone in my family voted for Frank Vargas.
I don’t want you to bleed all over the carpet.
I am a monster, but I am your monster.
At some point the debt has to be paid.
Be a man you can be proud of, Cy.
I’m going to die in here.
I will always be your friend, but I will not speak to you again.
Give me your belt.
I’m innocent.
You’re innocent.
I just wanted to see you suffer.
I’m innocent.
Tom couldn’t do it, which means Cyrus is innocent.

8.5/10

The Good Fight 1.04

Matthew Perry guest stars and complicates things and I don’t think we could care less. Are we supposed to ship Maia and Clarissa?  And Maia is bisexual, not gay? What a disappointment.

Yeah, my girlfriend is pretty hot.
Was that the first time you slapped someone?
I guess it was.
Fuck you.

Bones 12.03

Thank you Bones for mentioning one of my most favorite episodes and for that Simpsons reference. Plus watching that elderly lady hit that elderly pervert was entertaining.

Hoes before bros.
I have long been fascinated with black and heavy metal culture ever since we had that case involving the band Skulle.
I remember.
I want you to get a vasectomy.
This is where he went to heaven.
You will need a new cleaning service.
You bastard Son of a bitch.
He asked if I wanted to pork.
Go pork yourself.
A gentleman would never talk that way about Donna Reed.

This side of Montgomery Burns
.
Anyone who looks at naked pictures of Donna Reed is just wrong.
Thank you you have been very very helpful.
We will be bagging your sniper.
I want to adopt.

Bones 12.04

The guy who married Bones and Booth was killed.

Needle marks on the bone.
He parts his hair to the right, most lefties do that.
This is one of those audio doorbells that record voices.
The victim was alive when the rats were eating his torso.
Rat teeth never stop growing.
Booth that’s a bomb.
He killed himself so he wouldn’t have to give me up.

4.5 / 10

Grey’s Anatomy 13.13

Second episode without Ellen, what a shame. I was never a fan of Kepner, so the patient hating on her for not being Doctor Grey made Ellen’s absence easier on me. I have nothing against April, she’s my dad’s favorite character and my mom loves her with Avery, but for me, she’s still almost as annoying as she was back in season 6. Meantime, Stephanie kills a little boy and Eliza takes it worse than her and I’m not happy about Arizona comforting her.

I am doctor.
Not Dr grey.
Listen doctor not Grey.
Any pain?
Lots. Thanks to you.
Dr Grey is nice.
I’m nicer.
Did I kill that boy?
Bailey was my favourite student.
How do you stop feeling like this?

You don’t. You put it behind you.
Edwards what happened?
He died.
He was my patient and he died, he was a little boy.
Pop the hood, pop the hood.
You could have friends here if you wanted to.

8.5 / 10

The Middle 8.14

Last time I checked, The Middle was a comedy show, which part of this episode was funny? That Mike remark about washing his teeth was just on point, he does it in every single episode. The highlight of the episode was when Brick fell down the stairs.

1/10

SVU 18.11

Sounds like sexual assault
They are hauling ass to.
Tell him that I know he didn’t mean it.
Injury suggest someone twisted his arm.
We are SVU, we know the law.
I thought only adults could go to prison.
We have evidence that your son has been abused.
How do we make it go away?
We can’t, we don’t.
Jack died 20 minutes ago.
You have witnessed the abuse?
Everything will not be ok.
I got it on video.
And protect him anymore he doesn’t deserve it.
Jack reminded me of me.

Guys in the neighborhood used to pick on me every day.

You didn’t make the app, did you, that really happened to you, didn’t it?

9/10

This is Us 1.06

Randall is gifted and exceptional? So is this show!

Are you saying Randall is gifted?
All of our children are exceptional.
What is she writing?
That’s her suicide note.
So I see you picked the fat one.
I know that you hate your assistant because she says like too much.
Maybe I was meant to be a musician. Or an artist or a writer. There’s this whole genetic side of me that nobody ever knew existed. Maybe I’ve had an artistic side of me all along and no one new to empower it. Maybe I was not destined to wear shirt and tie everyday like my parents for thought.
I’ll be in the car, intern.
If you keep up the pace, you can burn 470 calories an hour walking.
I don’t want to be different from them. If I get an A I’ll get an ice cream and Kate and Kevin won’t and then they’ll hate me.
I think I skipped the montage.
That was a middle age crisis.
Just a little one.

10/10

This Is Us 1.07

How can a doctor ask an obese person if they binge? Why do you think they have trouble losing weight? It’s an addiction for God’s sake, a doctor should understand that, but usually they’re just too condescending.

That was your fastest ran yet.
Damn right.
I’ve been killing myself for weeks and I’m down 1 pound.
Do you binge?
I hit a goal and I celebrated by eating some food I actually like the taste of.
I don’t have an eating problem.
You treated me like a dog.
The one I gave Rebecca back in the day.
And I am going to buy you the best washing machine in the world.

4/10

The Simpsons 28 .15

Wouldn’t it be nice played a few times during the episode and that was my most favorite thing.
Maybe another animated show stole it.

Who the hell are you?
I am guilt.
Wait the baby’s name is Maggie.
Even Madeline from the Madeline books?
Nerds, get them.
In the right hat, anything is possible.

Riverdale 1.04

Sad to see the teacher go.

Meanwhile the girl next door, our friendly neighborhood Hitchcock blonde.

Grey’s Anatomy 13.10

Our favourite show is back from holidays and it doesn’t exactly pick up where we left off. Bailey, Arizona and Jo visit a women prison and we don’t learn anything more than we knew 2 months ago. The episode itself feels like a poorly made stand-alone straight to DVD film that maybe only Lifetime would show. It’s also the first episode where Meredith isn’t present, Ellen voices it over but the lack of Meredith is easily noticeable, saddening and frustrating. One of the few things worth mentioning is the Orange is the New Black reference. The inmate’s mother did not want to see her granddaughter’s birth. That scene brought tears to my eyes. I did end up crying for 20 minutes, but that doesn’t change the fact that we could have actually learnt something more about the characters, but instead we wasted our time.

In Orange, they strip Search.
No one intends to end up here.
I have a prosthetic leg.
Totally normal, don’t engage.
Murder, gangs.
Which one’s she?
Just another patient?
How about focusing your attention on keeping your k10 client from killing us.
I once helped a guy I liked rob a convenience store.
Stars, they are just like us.
Dr Bailey.
That’s chief Bailey.
I hate people.

5.5/10

Bones 12.01

What an episode! I will miss this show dearly.

They can still be somewhere in the Jeffersonian.
Call Booth, I’ve got her.
He’s in the basement.
I had nightmares because of evidence indicating Zack.
Dr Brennan.
I should have been kidnapped more often.
He was receiving regular visits from an associate of yours Dr Sweets.
But when Doctor Sweets was murdered Zack had trouble processing.
Communicating with someone of lower intellect.
I’ve been reading Dr Brennan’s email.
So I can keep up to date with all my friends and colleagues.
Dr Brennan, Hodgins, Angela and Doctor Saroyan.
Agent Booth and I are not friends.
What’s that untitled folder?
Zack is the one who’s going to make it so Hodgins can walk.
What do you mean Bones is gone.
I want to find out why she left.
The evidence is conclusive, he’s guilty.
Maybe your gut needs a probiotic.
What are you saying, you didn’t think he was guilty the first time with the lobbyist.
Stay away from me.
Conjoined twins.
After being separated from his other half, the killer must have adopted his dead twin’s personality.
I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t kill him.
It’s his legs, he’s lost his feeling. And it’s probably for good this time.
I nNever killed The the lobbyist.
I believe you.

10/10

Bones 12.02

Brennan turned 40 and I’m feeling old. Max is doing chemo or something and I really don’t think Max’s possible death in the last episode is necessary.

I’m re-examining the evidence from the lobbyist’s murder.
This is a big one, you’re turning 40.
Could you give us a hint on a dress code?
Yes, wearing clothes would be advisable.
Let go of my clippers.
Is it as bad as I think it is?
Doctor Brennan appears to be 78% curious and 22% jealous.
Agent booths is 94% amused and 6% sceptical.
Dr Hodgins or should I say Peter Pan?
Hey, perverts!
I’m the one who recommended her.
And I also nominated Angela.
Grandpa, you dropped this.
Happy Birthday!

6.5/ 10

The Middle 8.12

One of the weaker episode, but still very good, plus they sang Kelly Clarkson’s ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’. Cindy, the one who always wears a Safari hat is into fashion. Nothing funnier.

Brad, what am I thinking.
I hope you’re thinking I should come with you to no-cut acapella.
Career expo and job fair.
I’m not really into books, that I’m into fashion.
I can take over the diaper because that enter.
Did we not tell him?
Here’s the thing Axl you haven’t been around a lot, I sold the diaper business.
Life is gonna kick you around a lot. So you may not wanna tear off all your clothes and flap around on the floor every time you hit a set back. Things kinda have a way of working out.
She gave me the finger, she loved it!
They’ve found their sweet spot early.

How to get away with murder 3.10

I love Bonnie, but they need to bring Eve back to represent Annalise.

Eve would be a conflict of interest.
The baby is Wes’s.
I just got back from therapy.
I thought why can’t this queen defend me?
We are bad people.
About the murder of Wes Gibbins. I did it.

5.5/10

Nashville 5.03

Maddie becomes an intern at Highway 65. Child actress Bridgit Mendler joins the cast.

It’s like what Britney Spears used to do.
It’s not like she’s Taylor Swift.

2.5 / 10

Nashville 5.04

At least Scarlett called Rayna her family. his season started off intriguing and turned into a drag. I really wish they could bring Lyla back.

You have FOMO –  fear of missing out.

3. 5 / 10

Scandal 6.01

You know Shonda wrote this episode when the freshly elected president gets shot and killed. It was an icredible episode that made me want to rewatch the entire series.

It’s over, you lost.
Vice president Cyrus Bean.
I voted for him.
Legally, the next presidency is wide open.
Practically, the next president of the United States is who you say it is.
He paid an assassin to shoot Frank Vargas.
I think Cyrus might have had something to do with it.
That could’ve been me.
Mary would make an exceptional president.
Because the other choice just tried to kill his way into the Oval
Fitz, I want it. I do want it.
He murdered his way into the White House you’re doing nothing about him
Been like this since she got here.
Doctors say he’s in shock.
I don’t want to fix another election.
I’m handing you America take care of it.
Good luck sign.
You want to murder her or marry her?
It was Cyrus Bean, who killed President Vargas.
You son of a bitch, I know you killed him and I’m going to prove it.

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started as weekly reviews on movies and tv episodes, and a diary of the 700 new films I watched every year. Today it’s a place for me to write a few words on films and tv shows that leave some sort of impact on me. I no longer write in depth reviews, partially thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd, and partially because of my demanding day job.

If you have a film you would like me to watch and review,  please leave a comment.

Enjoy!

About me

I am the dark and twisty Meredith Grey, the mad Dexter Morgan, hoping to grow up to be a little more like the wise, but fun Nora Walker. I am an aspiring filmmaker. My favorite actresses are Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. Favorite genre – psychological drama. I watch anything with a sexual or mental abuse plot. I used to be a horror freak. I am obsessed with Grey’s Anatomy, SVU and many more. My other interests include making oil and pencil portraits and wildlife conservation. I cannot say no to beautiful landscapes, travel, Aussie accent, TV/film quotes and avocados. I have recently moved back from Australia to the UK. I’ve been running this blog for the last 9 years. Here I comment on films and episodes I watch. Enjoy! – Joanne

favourite film and tv quotes

‘When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs. But since I’ve met you and moved to Sydney, I haven’t listened to one Abba song. That’s because my life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.’ (Muriel’s Wedding)

‘I used to think about
your life in New York. I tried to imagine your room. I kept track of the time difference, so I  knew when you were awake and when you were asleep.’ (Disobedience)

‘Nothing’s clean, Howard. But we do our best, right?’ (The Aviator)

‘No, I’m not quitting. I don’t quit things.’
‘No, actually you do. Your mother quit your father. Your father quit you. You quit your boyfriend and if I read your hospital chart correctly you quit your life momentarily on a couple of occasions. You quit. It’s what you know how to do.’ (Greys)

‘Where the hell was I that year?’
‘Your were watching television’. (Everybody Loves Raymond)

‘It’s impossible to worry about anything else when there’s blood coming out of you.’
(Short Term 12)

‘I wanted it to happen. And when we were girls… Even then, it was the same. It’s always been this way! I have always wanted it.’ (Disobedience)

‘Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes you play games in your head. You make up someone, someone good.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a moment when our lives change forever. The moment we admit our weaknesses, the moment we rise to a challenge, the moment we accept a sacrifice, or let a loved one go. And sometimes the change in our lives is an answer to our prayers.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Yesterday I went to the movies all day by myself. One after the other. I’ve never done that before. I had a really happy day.’ (Doing Time for Patsy Cline)

‘I just need something to happen. I need a sign that things are going to change. I need a reason to go on. I need some hope. And in the absence of hope, I need to stay in bed a feel like I might die today.’ (Greys)

‘She saved me my whole life. Without her, I’m nothing.’ (The Favourite)

‘Don’t wonder why people go crazy. Wonder why they don’t. In face of what we can lose in a day, in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that make us hold it together.’  (Greys)

‘Bree sobbed quietly in the restroom for five miutes, but her husband never knew, because when Bree finally emerged, she was perfect.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘I am not food, you cannot just eat and eat.’ (The Favourite)

‘I don’t love him.’
‘Of course you do.’
‘No!’
‘Don’t take me for a fool Olive,  I’m many things but I’m not a fool.’
‘I know that, you’re brilliant.’
‘Don’t you see, it’s over. Whatever this is, was, it’s over.’
‘I love You.’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing, is reason enough to celebrate.’ (Greys)

‘Many years ago, a neighbour and a good friend of ours took her life, and that left us all heartbroken and perplexed. But somehow, when I was alone in that hotel room, I forget about all the pain that she caused. In those awful moments, I thought maybe she had the answer.‘ (Desperate Housewives)

‘What happened last year when you fell in the water?’
‘I almost drowned. Do you think I did that for kicks?’
‘You put your hand in a body cavity that contained unexploded ammunition.’
‘I was trying to save a patient!’
‘Why is it that every other person in that room had the sense to hit the deck? You know people run away from this line between life and death. You seem to stand on it and wait for a strong wind to sway you one way or the other. You’re careless with your life. You’re not slitting your wrists but you’re careless. Probably because your mother told you you were a waste of space on this planet. The problem is you believed her. And if you don’t want out one of these days you’re going to die because of it.’  (Greys)

‘This is the street where I used to live and these were the people with whom I shared my life. I met them the day they moved in. And I saw what they brought with them. Beautiful dreams for the future. And quiet hopes for a better life. Not just for themselves, but for their children, too. If I could, would I tell them what lies ahead? Would I warn them of the sorrow and betrayal that lie in store? No. From where I stand now, I see enough of the road to understand how it must be traveled. The trick is to keep moving forward, to let go of the fear and the regret that slow us down and keep us from enjoying a journey that will be over too soon. Yes, there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking surprises we didn’t see coming, but that’s really the point. Don’t you think?’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Was your life not working when you let that slip out from under you?’
‘When are you going to stop suggesting that I’m suicidal?’
‘When you start acting like someone that wants to be alive.’
‘Give me my chart.’
‘Why?’
‘Because I’m not suicidal, and if it says that I am, then it’s wrong.’ (Greys)

‘There is nothing wrong with me.’
‘Then show me your arm.’ (Degrassi)

‘Look, my whole life, I have been the freak. The girl who nobody picked for dodgeball. The girl who didn’t have a mom. The girl who dressed funny because it was her dad buying her clothes. And then, tonight I looked at these people, and I thought maybe there’s a future where I don’t have to be a freak. Maybe I can be who I am and that’s okay.’ (Everything Sucks)
