Greys 11.12

I guess it’s official, Nicole will die, as she’s the coolest character now. Casualy stealing furniture because it’s fun.

You have to decide how much you want to let out and how to keep the secret in.
What happened to the couch?
Robbins, do you live with residents? You’re a grown up. Get your own place. Residents gone wild!
Wasn’t there a couch there?
Yeah it used to be.
Is this about the naked resident?
It is good news.
You’re dirty.
It’s because of you?
It was all a lie. Our whole life was a lie.
Her.
That’s a beautiful name. So can I call you Rosaline?
Why don’t you?
My life is so much better now that I have nothing.
You should know, I’m not gonna have sex with you.
Shut up!
I’m gonna kill you now so.
It was just me, for 3 days.
I’m gonna marry that girl.

SVU 16.15

Great case, but we all knew Noah’s father is either a pimp or a John, so nothing new here. The whole squad goes undercover and we bump into our old Captain.

Carissi hasn’t moved in 20 minutes.
The female handler is known to us.
How about you shut your mouth.
Save it, cause I know that you speak English.
Check their ID’s.
I already did. They’re all fake.
They have my daughter.
This woman was pretending to be a sex trafficker? That’s a new defence.
Touching story.
It’s a slave trade.
I hope you didn’t make her any promises.
She’s not happy with the delivery.
Carissi’s driving? Great, they’re fonn lose him.
Got a supplier.
Illegal delivery of alcohol to a residence.
How about illegal distribution of alcohol to a private residence?
If’s also a big day for beer delivery.
One of his kids is sick. It’s a busy day.
Hey, how you doing?
Amanda, how many underaged girls do you have there?
I don’t know how you’re still standing.
I’m your sister in law and I’m the new supplier.
I do what I tell them to do.
That’s what I wanted to hear.
Who are these tresspassers? I don’t know them.
Who are you? I don’t know you.
I don’t know you either, superfly.
Do i wanna know why you’re dressed like that?
Buying? Wow, so now you’re trafficking.
Just one? I thought I taught you to think big.
I almost got my daughter killed.
Aerial has a real mom?
We know you’re a pimp.
It doesn’t matter. It matters what it looks like.
You kill her, you die too. Is she really worth it?
What doesn’t kill you…
Makes you a better detective.
You want me back in charge so badly?
Till we meet again.
You have a good team here.

Cougar Town 6.07

Hilarious. And Ellie Torres is me.

It’s like Tom’s right here.
Tell me you took that bitch down.
We lost a tree and gained a new patio set.
Score!
I signed us all as chaperons.
No because the high schoolers are making me take the liquor out.
I’ll act like I did at my own prom. I’ll be above it all and judge everyone.
How come I’m the only one who’s in the prom spirit?
My baby has no shot at a normal life.
Dudes. Weak.
I think it’s sweet. Car’s out front when you’re ready.
Don’t get pregnant! Sometimes I love you is a trick to get into your pants!
You’re ready for another adventure?
It’s time to put the popular girls into place.
Oh that guy looks like he’s over 18.
I only saw the ceiling.
Let’s just get into the car and see where the car takes us.
Andy’s fun.

8.5/10

Shameless 5.06

The best part was Sammy talking about how she almost got gang raped the first day of high school and got beat up by Ukranians for wanting to use the bathroom without cigs to exchange. I like her living with the Gallaghers. Fiona’s gonna choose Jimmy, though Guss a good guy too.

Mickey Milkovich? Say hello to him from me.
Cause the crazy orange boy took my baby.
This is not a summer camp, mam.
I was almost gang raped the first day of high school for not wearing a bra.
Ukranian girls beat me up the first week.
He’s the gay one with all the problems.
Not free, idiot. Legal.
New half sister.
Frank’s or Monica’s?
Liam almost died.
Your other husband is at the door.
You’re Guz? Don’t blow this up. She’s great.
His partner. Lover.
Can I go in with him?

8.5/10

Nashville 3.13

Maddie lost her contract, but Jeff got fired. Felt sorry for Layla.

Maddie, Welcome to Edgehill.
I almost died and no one cares.
There is no way Teddy would ever sign a thing like that.
You signed Maddie to Edgehill.
I expect to see her at 10am tomorrow morning.
You’re freaking Deacon Claybourne.
Layla Grant.
I know who she is.
I’m supposed to have Maddie at Edgehill at 10 tomorrow.
I’ve got you and you’ve got me.
On the second thought, maybe I’m changing my mind. Maybe I’m sticking around.
You gotta tell Rayna.
You better start driving towards Virginia.
No, I think I’m ready to sing that song now.
I swear it’s good for you. If just tastes like crap.
Standing in the driveway, tryana see it your way.
Cause they’re implicating you.
And I sure as hell don’t want my daughter to be anywhere near that.
I was talking about you, man.
Why don’t we let the music do the talking?
Your meeting was cancelled because I was fired.
Because you were sleeping with prostitutes.

10/10

Castle 7.16

So is 3XK dead? What does it mean for the show? No more 3XK episodes? Fvorite part? Castle casually hiding in the woods, or Alexis and Martha screaming.

Help her.
I can’t help it if her contact information is out of date.
She’s my wife.
Yeah. Where’s Castle?
I don’t believe you.
He sees the story. I see the evidence. But he sees the story.
You wanna help her, get inside his head. What’s his story.
The pain in your eyes. The suffering.
He’s calling from your house.
Aaa!
Where’s Alexis?
Aaaa! What the hell dad!?
Castle get back it’s a trap.
Beckett no!
That was the stupidest, most reckless, irresponsible stun you’ve ever pulled, Mr. Castle.
1000 hours of following Det Beckett.
Mr Castle welcome back.
Two days I didn’t know where you were and it nearlt killed me.

10/10

The Simpsons 26.13

Remember pixels? How you could see all of them and everything was Paint quality? Moe goes to the plant and Marge starts a taxi service. Also Flinstons opening sequence.

Gymnastics. Swimming.

4.5/10

Switched at Birth 4.07

Kathryn’s mother’s Alzheimers and companionship get the only points this week.

You were raped.
They’re lovers.
She’s my best friend and my lover.
Companionship.

2/10

Pretty Little Liars 5.20

And we’re back to very bad episodes. I repeat, no one cares about Mike. We didn’t learn anything new. A very teen episode.

Hanna, we’re not shopping here.
You’re new at this, aren’t you?
I’m gonna get that money for you.

1.5/10

Eye Candy 1.06

Non flirtual, and my favorite part was when the flirtual killer helped her. Now I’m starting to like the killer, but the episode was weak.

In other words, hackable.
Sick enough to vwt me into ICU.
Neurophysillis.
You should have a seizure or something.
She certainly does get around, doesnt she?
She swallowed it.
What do you mean by simple?
Want my help?

4/10

Scandal 4.13

I slept with that filthy animal to save your life.
She’ll be sold to some rape gang.
Olivia has been taken.
Hi Steven.
Hi Liv.
Once a gladiator, always a gladiator.
I wasn’t raped.
There’re worse things than rape.

8.5/10

How to Get Away With Murder 1.13

Best episode yet! The rape monologue was the best thing they have written on this show show. Proud of Paris Geller even when she says guilty instead of not guilty in the opening statement.

That’s why my client is guilty. Not guilty. That was a slip.
I didn’t rape him.
Filthy little secret.
Do you talk to Annalise when she tells you what to do?
Would you sleep with her? Who? Bonnie?
Can we not talk about sleeping with our clients?
Somebody’s always a student. Somebody’s always a teacher. That’s how the sex works best.
You didn’t tell me the raped guy was gay.
I have no idea how to win this case.
Did you know what he did to me?
I told you, men take things.
This thing that happened to me, what you ignore is why I am the way I am.
Your aunt Lynn was ut out by her 1st grade teacher. Pastor got me after the choir.
Is it because you’re desperate again?
Then he came out of your room and I knew what he had done to you.

Posting on Thursday again, as apparently I have too many shows. Especially since 5 of them I could easily let go of, but clearly they’re too adictive.

Greys 11.11

I hate everyone who did not know Amelia had a kid. If you watched Private Practice, I would still be watching my favorite show every Friday.

He can feel his bones breaking.
And this is?
A death certificate.
Why didn’t she ask me? I’m a person.
That’s not what she meant.
Show up for her, please. Show up for April.
My baby lived 43 minutes.

7/10

SVU 16.14

Not my favorite case, but still a 10. SVU never dissapoints. Fin’s a player and we’ll never know how did he convice Rollins and Carissi to go with him, but It was fun to watch him explain the language to everyone. A lady gamer ignores Liv’s words and ends up kidnapped and raped. It’s easy for us to say we’d listen, but would we really?

Hold on, you got Rollins and Carissi on this on a Sunday?
Even so, how is this SVU related? (me every domestic episode)
Who are you Steven Spielberg? (same at my work, bad camera image is always a problem)
They kidnap, rape and it’s a game?
I’m sure she’s real proud. (The guy’s mommy)

10/10

Cougar Town 6.06

I’m getting nostalgic already. Please don’t go, you guys. Tom as McSteamy? Also The Shining and Captain Philips references. How hilarious was that? I don’t know how I feel about Ellie going back to work and Andy being a stay at home dad. What about everything we’ve known about Ellie for the last 6 years? That she abandoned her job when she realized she doesn’t have to work anymore? Who’s going to hang out with Jules all day? Who’s going to put sarcasm and disdain into every conversation and say ‘imaginary hat’ and ‘changed approved’? I am not okay with this.

Heads, divorce, tails, murder.
I’m the Captain now.

5/10

Shameless 5.05

My dad called Shameless the second best show out there after SVU, and even though the last two episodes were much weaker, I couldn’t agree more. Ian has done porn, and we’re blaming his bipolar disorder. Where’s Sheila? She better be back or I won’t take it. She was my favorite character and no one has prepared me for this.

Gallaghers do blackouts and suicidal attempts.
There’s no room in the backyard.
There’s no trailer.
I could, well, yeah I could stay for a day or two.
I’m not a pedophile. I’m here for a handjob. From you.
As your legal guardian I have to day violence is not the answer, but those bitches deserved it.

10/10

Nashville 3.12

Yes to all the singing! And they played my number one Nashville song. And Maddie got a contract, and I couldn’t be happier.

Would you write a song with me?
This is real life, don’t let it pass you by.

8.5/10

Castle 7.15

Predictble, as we knew he was going to say he got plastic surgery and he’s not 3XK, but for some teason this may be my favorite 3XK case. And without a doubt, the creepiest episode of Castle yet. I haven’t enjoyed a Castle episode this much in a long time. And they have Kate.

I signed for an escort service. I’m off to meet a client.
Bye, Kate.
You are pretty lovable.
You can bring Castle in to work on this case.
Kate Beckett, such lovely features.
And I never forget a face. Especialy one I cut.
Oh my God look who’s driving. 3XK.
You got cosmetic sutgery to look like a serial killer?
How do you prove I’m not?
Your mother.
They’re so normal.
That’s excellent, Kate.
It’s an anagram for returned.
Beckett.

7.5/10

The Simpsons 26.12

Very relatable to anyone was was ever obese.

I never thought any of us will go anywhere.
As an aspiring musician, I’ll write the song.
That’s the best deal any song writer ever got.
Ugh. Artists.
We only had a hurricane once.
Sarah, let’s have another.
Occupied.
I’m tired of you saying planes have gotten smaller.
It’s not about health. It’s about going crazy.
Overfeeders anonymous.
I am big. I am beautiful. No one can make me feel sad. This is who I am.
Restore. Restore.
Option outdated.
I’m gonna start celebrating my size.
Walking before picture.
Two of us can make a crowd.
I’ve learnt there’s something more important than drinking, eating.
Now move along, if you can.
You’re the only gangsta I know wjth a 9 o’clock bedtime.
23!? People for God’s sake join a gym!

10/10

Switched at Birth 4.06

I understand that as a teen show they need to show how concerned everyone is, and bring justice, but this seemed a little too much. The sad truth is they would all have bad Travis’s girlfriend’s reaction. I can hear victim blaming and I can’t handle it, as we all know a girl who had it happened to her, but she swollowed it all, never told anyone and then it started coming back in pieces and at the weirdest times many years later. Kathryn was sexually assaulted and I bet even John doesn’t know, and that was real, and that’s what I wanted to see. There is no way Tank would have gotten kicked out of the school. Why didn’t he get a lawyer? We know how hard it is to have the rapist expelled or get the school to acknowledge the assault. We’ve dealt with it in numerous SVU episodes.

Can I just ask if she’s okay?
What’s happening I can’t breathe.
It wasn’t some monster rapist itwas my ex boyfriend.
I was just 17. My best friend’s brother. I woke up to dind his hands in places they should never have been.
What happened to you does matter.
Emmett, Bay was raped.
Did I deserve something dine to me when I was too drunk to give permission?
You don’t start blaming yourself. It’s not your fault.
This happens to so many girls and it makes me so angry.
I love you, same as always.

7/10

Pretty Little Liars 5.19

When I first started watching the show 5 years ago, Hanna was my favorite liar and this hasn’t changed. I’m with her on being mad at her father for paying for Kate’s school and being surprised Hanna got in at all. What a jackass. Hanna has always bad the most relevant storylines, while what others only have are relationships abd being pinned for a murder or two.

I tend to fall for women who are unavailable.
How can you love sth if you’re bad at it?
I was arrested for murder. I can’t be arrested again.
So Kate’s going to Darmouth and you’re paying and you didn’t even ask where I’m going.
I always knew that you had it in you.
One drop here and one spot there.
You’re like the queen of not helping.

7.5/10

Eye Candy 1.05

I will definitely stick around to see how it all resolves, and I hope it gets a second season too.

We record identity of every person that walks in.
Dare you to give away your underwear.
I smell him.
I was in love with a cop, who was killed by a flirtual killer.
Cut off a finger.
Steal their phone.
Creeply.
Do you know anything about my sister?

4.5/10

Scandal 4.12

Best episode in since the premiere. Huck had to kill and snapped. Queen lost it. Abby’s not a gladiator anymore. Mellie would make an excellent president.

Abby, how are you?
Shut up. Where’s Liv?
I’m sorry, do you remember me?
You’re not a gladiator anymore.
Good morning, powerful people.
Who has more monehy than United States of America?
China…
Take them out not this.
We’ll sleep better when she’s sleeping between us.
I wanna be a president of United States. I wanna rule the world.
He goes to these black places.
Who did you send me to?
Iran.
It doesn’t matter who has her. Olivia Pope is dead.

10/10

How to Get Away With Murder 1.12

Don’t we always go around the syllabus?

If’s important we don’t panic.
Too late for that.
When in doubt, shut your mouth.
Incest is best, put your brother to the test.

Congrats to SVU on season 17! I couldn’t be more proud. Just read Revenge is on a 6 week hiatus. Sadly we should prepare ourselves for season 4 being Revenge’s last. The ratings have been awful for the last 6 weeks. Why did Conrad leave? Conrad is gone. Victoria’s grieving. Everybody hates David. No one wants to see Emily with the cop or get to know him or the red head. Not only Bones and The Good Wife are on hiatus, but now Revenge too. Great.

Greys 11.10

How great was seeing Mer calling Maggie? And bonding with her and Amelia. Owen reminiscing could not be more relatable. Everyone had that love they ley go and couldn’t stop thinking about the good times.

Surrounded by people, but drowning in solitude. That kind of loneliness can swallow you whole.
Hey, you wanna special ringtone?
You pause.
Okay that’s gross.
So you’re legs are in the air and you?
Pause.
I want a grown up.
Christina would have scrabbed in with me.
Residents are boring. All they wanna do is learn.
Nothibg is where it’s supposed to be.
In 10 hours.et’s go to church.
You’re gorgeous. Do people just tell you this all the time?
No pressure.
Oh yeah pressure.
Whatever care.
He’s lucky I love him.
I mught be too good at being alone.
Maybe i could print a Derek. Just for sleeping.
This is where we cut.
That’s my finger.

SVU 16.13

SVU gets a 17th season and I couldn’t be more proud. No show could deserve a renewal more than SVU. Now I’m crying. Hands down, best show.
Paul Adelstein on this week’s SVU, and another incredible case ripped from the headlines. In May I’ll be calling this of the three episodes of the season.

No Amanda, I’m sorry for what you put yourself through.
Arrest him, he raped me.
Welcome back to SVU.
And he got it all over me.
I was trying to record a confession.
With her tights still on.
Even if it wasn’t him, it’s better for you if I say it did, right?
I was sitting.
Can you show us?
No, please don’t tell my mom, she’s already a mess.
My uncle raped me.
Her own uncle? No it can’t be.
Yes it can.
This is why I don’t trust dentits.
He raped his niece while his hygenist guatded the door?
The hygienist is also his wife.
We had a little quicky in the chair.
If this guy really raped his niece while his wife was in the office…
Then it isn’t his first time.
Tell them what the therapist said.
Did he tell you how ut got inside her sweater?
Something this traumatic takes time to process. Bits and pieces come back slowly.
I am not heating any of this.
Except the ones you paid off.
She looks drugged. Bet he does her high too.
Mute that witch.
So far 11 victims came forward.
Stood by you or set you up?
I refered them to him.
Stop you whining. You’re not pregnant. I had a vasectomy.
You’re hurting me, I’m a dentist. I need my hand.
It’s not a big deal. You’re not so special.

10/10

Cougar Town 6.05

Vinebulance is a fantastic idea! Especially for the cul de sac crew! I’ll miss this show so much.

Stealing work supplies. Classic move.
Now, maybe his wife.
You’re still a mayor of Gold Haven.
What do you mean former mayor?
Exactly, a step above.
His eyes are so tiny.
My chair was too comfortable.
There was a scandal over your leaked dick pic.
I always do that. It turns me on.
Welma.
You mean Daphne.
I know what I like.
Soprano in a glee club.
Nerd.
And then we bought this old van, and Trav is a genius and Scooby Doo and you’re gonna be rich.
I’ve arranged a distraction.
No but I can’t wait to hear how it ties in with children.
What, do you think law school paid itself?
Winebulance.
Everybody dance now.

8/10

Shameless 5.04

The weakest episode in Shameless’s history. Fiona’s one week after dating marriage is gonna backfire soon. How could she forget about the 3 kids she still has at home? One stupid decision after another. Frank’s story of a lost fortune was great. Favorite line was Mickey’s when he said he not gonna tip a guy for losing his baggage. Frank fighting over a leg with a girl without a leg may be one of the most shameless things they did, next to Vi telling Kev to impregnate her mom, Deb losing her v card byraping a guy and Frank screwing the life out of one chick with a heart condition, or Karen screwing Frank and recording it to piss off her dad for calling her a whore, or Kev saying Karen’s Asian baby doesn’t have a Down syndrome, we’ll just looking at it upside down. I miss Sheila and Mandy already.

121 grant!
What the hell happened on Tuesday?
Are you still waiting around for like a fucking tip or sth? Caues I’m pretty sure you guys lost my suitcase. Holy fuck.
Maybe not for the boy you raped.
Tou stole a porshe?
Might have bought one.
One leg 60 grant?
All my fucking money spent on childhood amputees.

5/10

Nashville 3.11

I’m really glad that Nashville is finally back, but when are we going to hear something new from Rayna, Juliette or Maddie and Daphne? How great was that song of Luke’s?
‘If I drink this beer, I’ll probably have two or three. If I know me, I’ll be digging up the past, like it’s money in the back yard.’

Does this mean you’re gonna marry Deacon?
Rayna! I know she’s here.
Oh my God. She called off the wedding.
My name is Jane Smith.
Miss Smith, I have just a thing for you.
But I don’t wanna write a sad song. I I don’t wanna sing a sad song. I don’t wanna be a sad song.
Because I told her I loved her.
Maybe change your clothes.
Luke throws a party to celebrate.
I should probably tell you that Deacon stepped by.
I was upset about a chair.
Show has already been cancelled.
I’ll do it. Shut up, I’ll do it.
I’m just gonna go.
I’ve loved you since the first time I saw you.
I want to be the one to take care of her.
If I drink this beer, I’ll probably have two or three. If I know me, I’ll be digging up the past, like it’s money in the backyard.

7/10

Castle 7.14

A good case, that I actually remember 5 days after it premiered. I like Castle as PI, the cases are more interesting. It’s something new the show needed.

Knock them dead, babe.
Beckett he killed her. [Out of service]
I believe he’s been right to many times not to consider it.
She wanted justice for one murder and committed two.
Yeah I’m gonna go with dead.
What’s in the bags and where are you taking them?
Guess who was suspected of killing his first wife?
Her husband.

7/10

Switched at Birth 4.05

Have you seen this week’s SVU? I really hoped this SVU episode could be SVU good, and it wasn’t. My favorite scene was when Regina told Bay she feels sorry for the girl, because she was raped. I hate that because it’s an ABC Family teen show the whole family knows about what happened to Bay a day or two after it happened. If it was any other show, the girl would have moved on, and suffer the conseqences years later. Show me a 19 year old girl that’s been date raped by a person she thought was her friend who told her entire family what happened to her a few days after the fact?

I wasn’t.
Hey, mom.
I remember up to a point and then nothing.
I’m not gonna tell anyone. What’s the big deal.
That she was raped. She didn’t give consent.
The room’s spinning.
If I fon’t remember it how can it be okay?
She’s my sister.
Something’s happened to Bay.
You have to trust yourself.

5/10

Pretty Little Liars 5.18

How bad was this week’s PLL? No one cares about Mike.

Mona liked her movies.
Thanks don’t mention it.
That’s Betthany. She’s talking about Alison right?
They have matched the blood.
If Ali really cut you off, congratulations. Yiu don’t kbow how lucky you are.
I should have said something that night.

4/10

Eye Candy 1.04

I’m liking her friend from work much better than the girl from the bar, and the show might have just saved itself.

They’re all on flirtual.
You’re fired. I’m kidding. I covered for you.
Who’s the insomniac?
I know why he’s killing them.
Julia hated her teeth.
He wants perfection.
It’s your birthday?
Yeah.
What kind of a person doesn’t know their best friend’s birthday.
You passed my test.
Perfection doesn’t exist. Everybody’s flawed. Especially me.

7.5/10

Scandal 4.11

That’s what I’m talking about. Scandal is back with a great episode. Last week was disastrous and felt forced and stuck up and this week is just fine. But Mellie sleeping with vicepresident? Come on Mellie, it might have as well been you.

It woyld be a shame if miss Pope was beheaded.
Where’s the black lady. (Good thing you’re black)
I didn’t know there’s a coalition for West Angola.
They have Olivia.
I appreciate you sharing it with me.
I’m saving Olivia Pope.
I’m wearing a ten gallon white hat.
I have Olivia Pope for you.

10/10

How to Get Away With Murder 1.11

A SVU case, that Annalise gave up. Olivia Benson would have said the woman captor is a victim too. How did they find his body?

Fled you mean.
Welcome to HTGAWM Semester 2.
I’m not a role model.
My husband’s keeping 2 girls captive in our basement.
You’ve never been raped, have you?
You kept her.
Where is she!?
She just turned 4. I saw how he started looking at her.

Parenthood 6.13

Extremely exhausted from crying over that beautifully painful finale. The Bravermans will always be my family. Zeek died and Camille went to France by herself. And she probably loved it there just as much as Zeek said she would. One of my most favorite moments from the finale. I was hoping Jason would make an exception and give us a happy finale and the series would end with the wedding, but he couldn’t because this is Parenthood, a tears is the one word the show is associated with. It was a tearfully beautiful finale and it could have not been written any better. Trying to deal with the loss by writing the lyrics to Forever Young on every notebook I own. Good thing I’ve known them for six years. Goodbye, Parenthood, I love you.

Have I been a good father?
The very best.
I’ll be Adam and you’ll be Crosby.
Zeek? Zeek?
May you stay forever young.

Greys 11.09

Weakest episode of the season. We all know nothing is going to be wrong with Japril’s baby. This isn’t Amelia and her unicorn baby. I doubt it very much that Shonda is going to play it this dangerously again. Don’t ask me why the new surgeon isn’t taking the surgery she needs. And I’m not sure what’s happening with Merder, but a job offer being a burden on a marriage is one very realistic plot. What happens when you put your work over family? Does it have a chance of surving?

Maybe she needed a nanny. (My kind of humor, Mer)
Your wife was the driver.
Big deal. My husband left me and I’m here.
You’re a kid.
Before she left she said something about Derek and I and she was right.
I need a person, who’s going to be in it with me.
Did I tell you, it’s a boy?
This isn’t us. This isn’t how we end, right?
The shock response has protected us and it might have just saved us.

Revenge 4.14

Nothing better than Emily gping undercover, but other than that, possibly the weakest episode of the season. Emily and Ben, really?

Happy Birthday, baby.
I’m new here.
You’re most certainly are.
You’ve been Emily for?
11 years.
Focus on the blade.
Your husband with that pool boy.
You just failed the first test.
I guess it’s true what they say. You marry uoir husband’s friends.
Or the original my husband found.
I can’t just be Amanda Clarke.
I’m cutting you and your campaign off my money.

Cougar Town 6.04

All episodes should be this good. Jules even bumped herself with her own car.

I’m free.
Shocking.
Let me plan Stan’s birthday and you don’t have to go.
Deal.
Ble.
Before boning a dude…
He’s a doctor, it’s good to have him around, in case Grayson and I fell asleep from having such an uneventful night.
What are you doing there? Why are you inside the house?
Because it’s not not hard spitting out skank tweets to idiots.
What’s a retweet? Is that good?
A little late, dude.
I guess. I’ll just go stand in the yard.
Sup’ sad.
So I brought a translator.
How sup’s.
OMG. My brain is stuck. My brain is tots stuck.
We did it again.
You’ve gone full Daniel Day Lewis.
No I’m never doing that. You’re a horrible actor.
I’m fired, aren’t I?
Oh yeah.
You okay?
Yeah. You?

9.5/10

Shameless 5.03

Don’t tell me Joan Cusack and Emma Greenwell both left Shameless forever. They played my two favorite characters. They better be back in a few eps. But why don’t I remember what happened to Karen after Mandy hit her with the car? How did she leave? This has been bugging me for four days. Genius things happening this episode. Deb lost her v card by ‘date raping a guy and statutory raping herself’ while Frank pimped out his slutty daughter. Sheila left to travel the world when she couldn’t leave the house for two years and suffers from OCD. This is not relevant, but would a person with a severe OCD be dating men who don’t care about their hygiene? I think they might have gotten it wrong. And why was her sofa no longer covered in plastic when Sammy screwed a guy on two weeks ago? Also, nice sock.

It’s also good for cleaning toilets or sinks.
It looks like a hand whore fire sale out there.
What ladies?
Those lesbians
I want us to see the world.
I’ve seen it and looks like shit.
You got a fetish fpr fuck ups?
Girls with stories.
We need to run out lebians out of town.
All of them?
Just the ones in our hood.
CErEal rapist on the loose.
She’s a hood girl. She thinks she’s a piece of shit.
I don’t get it, she’s a great girl. She can get any guy she wants.
I have to stay close to my doctors.
You’re gorgeous. You’re smart, you know that, right?
She left.
I tried.
Play me something worth dying for.
Some lonesome wrist cutter.
You date raped me. You statutory raped yourself.
You did the raping right?
Debs, I think this is some seriously weird dude. A million guys would kill to be raped by you.
I had sex last night. My first time.
Frank promised you would bumb me as soon as we go to your place.
I’ve seen you put out after the first drink.
You take pleasure in shoving plastic penises up your men’s butt.
Can’t a man have a minute of peace.

Switched at Birth 4.04

How did they fit one full semester into 4 episodes, when they streched out 2 year of high school into 3 full seasons? I see Regina had good intentions, but you don’t go talking to college professors about your kid’s grades. This isn’t middle school. How can you have a successful relationship if you don’t like the same things? ‘Daphne made all of this herself.’ All what, a C? They need to send Bay to college, we haven’t seen her paint anytjing in months. I hated when Emmett said she had not much going on right now. So what if she doesn’t? Big deal, some things are more important, and sometimes creating has to wait a few years. I hate when people do this. I have too many friends who are sure they’re destined for great artistic carreers who choose to torture me about taking some time off to help my parents finanially. They don’t get it, and so does Emmett. Lots of friends tell me this but If my boyfriend did I would dump him immediately. How can you be (friends) with if they think they’re better than you? It’s okay to take some time off, It doesn’t mean you’re off the track. SVU case next week?

I am am so happy the elevator’s out.
Maybe this one won’t crap out after 1 month.
Don’t let the deafness throw you.
See there you go.
What are the odds of him having your carreer?
Until he does, Back off.
A student become C students.
We just discontinued your data plan.
If you’re turning down work, I don’t think you’re doing the best you can.
You made me look like a disabled winer.
You don’t have much going on right now.
But it’s only temporary.
This is a drop form.
If you do a good job, I will raise your D to a C.
You’re gonna hit a lot of road blocks. In the future, don’t be so quick to give up.
I’m gonna write a musical with my mom.
First things first, I have to read your book.

Pretty Little Liars 5.17

Even though I understand where Ezra is coming from, I don’t support his decision to part with Aria. So she’ll resent you, she’ll get over it. You can always pretend you’re those 8 or 9 years younger and blend in at college parties, just like you did two episodes ago. No one doubted you’re a high school student. We all new they brought the cook to be Emily’s love interest and I don’t mind it. How come Rosewood, a small city has so many lesbians, and yet we haven’t met a single gay guy? I couldn’t adore more the scene where Aria goes through her year book and sees a blank space under her name and realizes her relationship with Ezra might have stood in a way of her high school life. But she forgot one thing. What about A? It’s A who tortured her for those three years of high school, and not Ezra. For a person who was very antisocial in high shool and didn’t go to any parties and school events and who wasn’t a member of any school clubs, I could identify with this lovely scene.

Or any guys.
So your ex was a girl?
Yeah. (There is no way that tshirt she had in the last episode could belong to a guy)
People.
You mean your high school girlfriend.
You did what you had to do to get in.
I don’t think that’s an actual parking spot, Spence.
We’ll take that chance.
So you’re here to rent a storage unit?
Then you better get going.
Looks like someone’s camera shy.
Somebody knows we’re here.
We’re gonna freeze to death.
What’s that?
I’m not sure.
If we stay together you can grow to resent me.
You screwed yourself by going there and you screw over Caleb too.
I’m interested in you.
Then we’ll both be behind bars. Maybe not in the same facility.
Aria Montgomery [blank].
Hanna and Caleb need to know if Mona’s body is in there!

The Simpsons 26.11

Nice Scrooge outfit, Burns.

You’re the guy who put wheels on baggage? Thank you!
He changed the way Hollywood drives.
Clearly the work of Lenny. It’s the white one, right?
Not on my carpet.
Car go park at work, so people think I’m there.
Never.

Eye Candy 1.03

I wanted to quit the show last week, but now I’m happy I didn’t.

They belong to a woman.
Surprise.
They are all on flirtual.
You’re fired. I’m kidding. I cover for you. Working.
Who’s the insomniac?
Oh my god. I know why he’s killing.
Julia hated her teeth.
He wants perfection.
It’s your birthday?
Yeah.
What kind of person doesn’t know their best friend’s birtday?
You passed my test.
Perfection doesn’t exist. Everybody’s flawed, especially me.

7.5/10

Scandal 4.10

I’m sorry what was the exciting part? I hate when writers throw a storyline that’s not going to be important after two episodes. So Liv was kidnapped, big deal. Maybe if she wasn’t a brat and didn’t tell everyone she’s special, because of her name, we’d maybe feel sorry for her. I would much rather enjoy thia show if Abby or Mellie were the leading ladies. I worship Shonda, but how the hell are we supposed to identify with a person who has ‘superpowers’ and can do all the things none of us can? Still between the captors holding Liv in an opposite apartment, the obvious ‘it’s okay, Olivia, don’t worry. It’s over’ – a neighboor being shot, and the captors stone walling the window, Olivia thinking the president put a tracker in her and finally a captor turning out the guy who was in the cell with her and Liv telling him her value, I can see some potential.

How to Get Away With Murder 1.10

Weak episodes of Greys and Scandal, but can’t say the same about the third child of Shondaland. It was interesting and managed to keep me interested, and that’s what this is all about.

What you did tonight had to be done.
They’re wearing paranoia on their sleeves.
See you in court, kids.
You’re dating your client?
We have to prove my husband murdered Lila.
Sounds like you need a lawyer.
She was pregnant, idiot. She didn’t need birth conrtol.
Maybe you had fun, I was drunk and desperate.
I’ll write crime fiction, I’ll be a housewife. Ok maybe not a housewife.
That’s the address of the kappa sorority.
Rebecca did not impregnate the victim.
What’s the matter, you’re not in the mood to confess to a murder.
Let me help you, because if you do, I promise you’ll get away with this.
All tgese induviduals are responsible for disposal of the body. You have to argue they’re innocent. You have 90 minutes.

I have so many shows, I haven’t watched a single film since they came back from the winter break. I will cry when Parenthood ends. American Horror Story and Bad Judge just ended. Eye Candy made the list. Greys, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder are all back next week. Then Nashville, and Bates Motel and Bones are back in March.

Parenthood 6.12

Lauren Graham performed Joni Mitchell’s The Circle Game and that’s all I’m gonna say. Kristina looking at her latest accomplishment – which was probably the last scene at Chambers. I cried I cried and I went to the store and bought mansize klinex for next week’s finale.

That didn’t stop you before going into music business.
It’s gotta be you, Mr. Braverman.
I have some serious doubts about success of this school if you’re gonna tach cooking.
I always thought I’d get married at a volcano.
Did he just say volcano?
I always thought I’d have my second wedding at a volcano.
Excuse me? What’s happening? Are we going?
Of course I’m with you. I’m always with you.
Where’s the baby?
Yeah, that text was confusing.
There’s no rush.
What was special about it was Adam and I.
You slept with people? How many people? For a record, I didn’t sleep with people.
You’re beautiful to look at. Very beautiful. But also on the inside.
It doesn’t matter what you cook, since you’re gonna end up unemployed anyway.
Hey, you’re playing our song.
Something shifts and you’ll figure it out.
You’re my hero.
You still got it.
Mr Gangi, what exactly are your intentions with my daughter with those teeth?
If you hadn’t stolen my knife in the first place, none of it would have happened.
I just wanna make sure that my dad is there.
Don’t cry, I don’t like when you cry.
Amber, you’re a mommy.
I want you to meet your great grandson, Zeek.
Hi, Zeek.

SVU 16.12

I hate when SVU is not really SVU. We need SVU cases to know it’s gonna be okay, not some Amaro’s father bullshit, especially if he got away with it.

In order to heal, we have to let go.
Oh so you’ve forgiven your father or William Lewis?
Wow.
I’m sorry.
Daddy come quick they’re fighting.
So she deserved it. Just like you did.
Maybe this is just another nightmare from your childhood.
Detective would you say you have your own anger issues?
He’s my son. He has his issues.
The jury’s back.
After 20 minutes?
Finally stood up to your old man.
I would never lay a hand on her. I’m not you.

Revenge 4.13

Victoria offered her life for Emily’s! I see I wasn’t the only one stunned when that happened. It’s all revenge fandom can talk about on Tumblr. Well, this and Nolan’s wedding, but I don’t mind it Nolan and Louis turned out to be great friends even though they’ve known each other for two weeks or so. Why does Victoria say she has nothing left? What about Charlotte and her other son? Where is her other son anyway? Conrad is dead so he can come back and I know they’re trying to sell us Nolan’s bisexuality, but no one is buying it. The whole episode I kept thinking, If they beat Emily up, Victoria has no chance of survival.

Who as it turns out is Emily.
Who would have thought after all that was said and done, you and I would die together.
To stage a greving mother’s suicide.
I thought I’d sacrifice myself to buy you and Emily more time.
Revenge is a dangerous game.

American Horror Story 4.13

What a beautiful finale. Glad to see a happy ending, very similar to the Haunted House’s, and not a depressing one like Asylum and Coven’s.I knew all of the freaks would die and Elsa too. That’s why we had Dandy. But with every shot my heart wss breaking and I kept saying ‘Come on’ through a tight throat. Elsa comitting a suicide by performing on Halloween was so fitting. They could not have written a better ending. But why would the film that portrays her as a victim hurt her? Why would she be ruined? The film didn’t show her as a masochist, I think they started rolling when she was lying in the bed completely out of it and then having her legs cut off. I know it’s the early 60s, but I think the only think that would change is that everyone would feel sorry for her but I don’t think any less people would watch, even though we all know in the 50s-60s you had to be perfect to make it.

Audiences want a new type of freak.
You’re boring. You’re never be one of us.
What kind of place is this?
Hollywood.
My name is Elsa Mars.
Showtime.
I always thought babies to be boring, but freak babies!
You didn’t think we’d lay in bed with you after you’ve massacred our entire family.
Were you poorly trained? You’re not allowed to sit at the table with us.
It’s got to be theatrical.
I felt so blessed to finally have friends and you took them all.
You’re the biggest freak of them all.
I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.
First of all, this coffee tastes like shit.
I said I will not perform on Halloween.
I’m bored and I’m alone.
I’ve always been cursed. First by having my dreams ripped away and now I’m cursed by having them all come true.
I’ll become just some sad footnote in Hollywood’s history?
They’re all dead.
What? All of them?
Some kind of massacre. Bodies found in a mass grave.
I’ve changed my mind. I will perform on Halloween. Why not? I may as well go out with a bang.
Why she stopped singing?
This is a suicide. How deep your pain must be, my love.
I’m the biggest freak of all.
Your place is not with us.
It’s like you’ve always said, sweetheart. Stars never pay.
Am I to perform?
The brightest and the best there ever was and will be.

Bad Judge 1.13

Just when I got used to these characters. I love that it ended exactly the same way it started – with Rebecca being a complete mess. Goodbye, Bad Judge, I’ll miss you.

Car wash.
There we go.
May just ask your name?
It’s spelled…
Hopefuly we can get address till lunch.
I’ll call one of my orher friends. You know, my friend Ross, Monica’s cool, Chandler, god, could he be so funny?
We’re grown ups. Punching is called battery and they’ll take you to jail for it.
The woman has enough alcohol.
It’s like an emergency tent at Coachella.
If she serves anything, it definitely has herpies.
What!?
No you can’t arrest me today!
The next day, you are the authority, the van’s gone.
I need you to cover a case for me.
Objection. We get.
Sustained.
Did you eat for the food, didn’t pay for the food?
Be seated.

Cougar Town 6.03

Great episode. Reminded me of the great ones from the early seasons when everything was Jules/Ellie.

They’re screwed.
Actually, I’ll take the compliment.
What’s the challenging part?
Oh, I’m not hearing a problem.
S’up Perv’stach.
I had to use both hands.
It might have been the alcohol.
Yeah! And we gve it to them.
We’re out of 3 grand.
Bless you.
Are you calling me a liar?
Are you ready to sex up this joint?
Sure is, baby.
Is that right?
It’s you. My new Bobby. It’s you!
Why you’re being creepier than usual?

Castle 7.12

Witty, but very average. Brad from Gilmore Girls plays the hotel personnel.

And not see Castle.
I’m looking for a private detective.
She’s absolutely right a d completely unbiased.
Canvasing? Or you mean that thing you let Ryan and Espo do.
What was the strange thing you’ve noticed.
That smoking hot detective was asking about the same thing too.
But this UBS drive.
I have my operative looking into other clues.
Maybe your opinion’s not so objective.
This is not my limo.
What’s her name?
Havier.

5.5/10

Shameless 5.02

What an episode, hands down, Shameless is back. Fiona proved she is chaos. Getting punched twice in the same day by two diffrent strangers may be the exact definition of chaos.

Did you leave either kid on the porch and went on a drug run?
Just like these asholes who don’t speak English are doing.
Let me get my pepper spray.
He’s one block over at Sheila’s.
More butter.
Apologise to my waitress.
I think Chucky is moderly retarted. Someone should tell Sammy.
I hope it’s better than his sad display of mentally disabled art.
He was with two very clean lesbians.
Double? It has scam written all over it.
Terrible fucking idea.
Did they offer cash upfront? Cash today?
She has a good nose for scam.
I don’t think you’re invited.
Why you done with the public pool? Someone shit in it? Someone shit om you?
I don’t know this feeling. It’s hate. I hate your daughter, Frank.
You look really pretty, Mandy.
Hi, I really need to talk to the priest.
Did you take something?
A job for illegal immigrants and ex cons.
I need to go to the alibi. Job requirement.
I’m gonna want you for that.
You’re a chaos junkie.
Why was there a hooker’s tit in mu baby’s mouth!?
It’s just hair. It’ll grow back.
It’s a starbucks.
Gentrification.
Genital what?
14 will get you 20.

Switched at Birth 4.03

I almost cried and rewinded three times when Daphne introduced John as her dad. I feel for Iris, she made a great point, she helped Daphne study and found her an interpreter, yet she didn’t get help in return.

What’s your favorite horror film?
Psycho.
Happy 50ish birthday.
Have you ever been convicted of a fellony?
Forensic evidence? Are you a criminology major?
Charity work?
Environmental clean up.
I didn’t know that made sound.
How do you know John Kennish?
He’s my dad.
I’m just the dumb hearing girl wno no one wants to slow down enough to talk to.
This kid has a future in baseball and I’m gonna help him.
It’s ASL, when everyone’s together, I’m all lost.
Stop it.
Make me.

Pretty Little Liars 5.16

Isn’t it hilarious how this show used to be just something to watch in the background for four years and now it’s the only way to get through Wednesday? How boring my life must have gotten over the year that I’m actually looking forward to every new episode? I watch it before Cougar Town and Switched at Birth. I almost cannot say a bad word about it anymore. The show is satisfying without Alison. I really hope Mona is in that barrell, as I did not see it coming.

Aria, this is the letter you wrote to Jackie.
You’re mad that I bailed or that I walked in on your wild college weekend.
Oh you can’t find the copy of the invoice?
So your boyfriend’s a cop.
From Mona Vandervaal.
You sound really echoey, like you’re in an airduct.
That’s because I am in an airduct.
He’s keeping it to build a case against one of us.
That she’s in there.
Mona was a lot of things, but she didn’t deserve this.
I like him and like him with you.
It’s just a bunch of kids sitting on bunk beds trying to figure out what yo do with the rest of their lives.
Hanna, it’s rented in your name and I’m pretty sure that Mona’s body is hidden inside of it.

Two shows mentioned Sophie’s Choice this week, coincidence?

Parenthood 6.11

Let’s go home. There are no words to describe how much I’ll miss this show.

SVU 16.11

Very disapointed with this case. A 15 year old meets up with a movie star she has a crush on and ends up hooking up with another movie star.

Something happened to me?
The driver pulled over and got into the back with me.
That’ll get you trending.
The waiter saw him do body shots off of her.
Hello, somebody had sex with a drunk and drugged 15 year old girl.
Motherhood gas really changed you, Liv.
Call me Big G.
I believe you’ve met Big G.
Life umitates art, I get that.
I didn’t want Scott to find out I cheated on him.
Definitely not, but nice try.
Check please.

Revenge 4.12

I don’t know what they’re doing or why I keep giving it a 10. I desperately need to see Victoria in action instead of watching David screw everything up for our characters.

Death for Victoria would me merciful.
The devil can have it.
My other partner in crime.
You’ll spare Victoria’s life again.
I’m really gonna miss you.
This may become your farawell takedown.
What if yiur friend finds out about your obsessive tendencies?
That their father died assaulting an innocent woman?
You gave her criminal file?
Okay, Louis may be crazy.
I questioned Emily myself.
I’m sure you did.
Actually, I think you have.
I need to start with a damaged little girl called Amanda Clarke, also known as Emily Thorne.
Look what I found. This is so much better.

American Horror Story 4.12

I hate where this show eneded up this year. I was actually surprised when tjey killed Maggie off and that they changed Stanley to Meep. Or that they wanted to kill Elsa! What on Earth is happening this year. The only thing I like is that Dandy’s the new owner now. I wondered how he’s story’s gonna end and this seems fitting. The finale’s next week and I’m more scared about what they’ll pull off than how sad I am that it’s ending. I hope Jessica does one more season.

You tried to kill my dreams, but they cannot be murdered.
You came.
Of course.
But I asked myself, Dandy, how can you be of help?
You look like shit.
Maggie’s next. Elsa’s next.
Looks like you’re gonna have a shot at normal life.
But where would I go?
I’m the new owner.

Bad Judge 1.12

If only every episode was this good. At episode 12, I’m starting to grow to this family. Sad the series finale’s next week.

Let’s a game. Secrets.
You obviously skied on acid.
It was Sophie’s choice.
Because my number 4 was in high school.
Young hopeful and stinky.
What is she George Clooney’s wife?
Wallets get paid more than that.
They’re making Toy Story 4.
I am the law and I’m going for it.
It’s awesome, isn’t it?
The only relationship that end mutualy are those when two people die in the same car accident.
Soy sauce?
Garbage dog’s getting bath.
Of course.
Is it bra food?
It’s almost like I sensed that you and Jim are having problems.
Have you told Jim how you feel?
Having a baguette.
It’s brilliant.
Yeah sure, that too.
This would make a terrible episode of Law and Order.
She toured with The Black Eyed Peas but just briefly.
Bank is gonna be closed for a while.
Are you fucking kidding me?

Cougar Town 6.02

This show used to be so good. Remember when Shonda Rhimes was freaking out about the Penny Can and how happy she was about some advanced episodes that Bill Lawrence sent her? And how she was taking about Wednesdays with wine and Cougar Town? Well that was me too. I won’t complain anymore because I know I’ll be sad not once when It ends. I’ll look back and remember only the good things. Happy Birthday little Bobby Cobb! Can you belive Laurie has a kid with Travis? I can’t! I go back to season one in my mind and just can’t believe it.

Move dude, emergency.
Obviosly, you’re pregnant.
Said no.
Did we have awful public schools.
Fancy pants.
I feel so.
Can we mke her wear the dress?
But move this car.
I need to be with people I love, where nothing changes.
Are they for a girl or a boy? Yes. Shut up, Tom.
Bobby, meet Bobby.

Castle 7.10

We haven’t had an episode this funny in years! And how can the case not be good when the dog is the witness! A little competition never harmed anyone and it might have been what the show needed.

How a woman so astud could marry a man like Castle?
I’m now Richard Castle, Private Investigator.
I’m sorry that’s confidential too.
A private investigator!?
Who are you and what are you doing with a dead woman’s dog?
Bitch, I know where you live.
I’m just making sure you filled it out correctly.
I was just discussing it with the writer you married.
Welcome to Richard Castle Investigations.
You said married people tell each other things.
My God, I’ve missed this.
We’re definitely on top of him.
When she took something beautiful we had together and shared it with another man.
Oh thank god, now what are you doing here?
The dog is the witness!?

8/10

Shameless 5.01

Shameless came back poorly. I always expect this show to blow my mind and this week it simply didn’t. I enjoyed Sheila’s problems with Frank’s daughter, but other than that, it was disapointing. But in the end, Frank’s back living with Sheila and that’s all I need.

Yoy’re lying to your notebook.
Are you expecting a loss of appetite?
Are you my father?
Don’t think so, kid.
And dry humping that man on my couch.
Plus it’s free.
Forgot that argument.
Screw those bitches.
We’re gonna party up Gallagher style.

5/10

The Simpsons 26.11

The show that never disapoints and keeps me sane on crazy Mondays. A very good episode. ‘Stay 10 forever’ is what I’d like to wish to all of us.

That would explain a lot.
If I was Fred Flinston.
It’s such a big ass.
For the first time I actually have to do my job.
It’s called a double standard.
I could direct films like Angelina Jolie.
Look back at the elephant.
What if those clowns parked in the same lot as us?
Maybe there’s a better Wifi in the freak tent.
Oh not again.
I’m not? Good. Am I sick?
Is that a grown man going between the children’s legs?
It’s on page one of the rule book.
Homo too.
I’ve been emotionally dealing with it the whole week so yeah.
Bye, Bart. Stay 10 forever.

7.5/10

Switched at Birth 4.02

Far from good, the only thing that kept me through the episode was the thought of the teacher being the Claire Danes’s mom in My So Called Life. God, I loved this show. Why didn’t we find 5 minutes for Marlee Matlin, yet we focused on Regina and East Riverside bullshit again. I can’t imagine how hard it must be for Daphne to go to all hearing college. Bay’s drama is so overrated, the show insists on reminding us it’s a teen show.

You let the door slam after you.
Thanks so much!
It looks like you’re saying end of peace, but I know that’s not right.
They’re meeting without you.
You had to fight their battles.

2.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 5.15

I am really enjoying the college talk. I don’t mind Ashley sleeping with Jason, she deserves to be appreciated and we never see the priest anymore. Aria got into a mediocre college and somehow isn’t too sad about it. I loved her letter to Jackie. It was potentially a very atupid move, but exactly what I would have done. Write a killer personal statement. They wanted personal? They got personal. I was surprised to actually see a grown up version of Jackie instead of the unforgiving and childish one we met a few seasons back. Spencer and Caleb duo is something to look forward to.

Whatever happened to a thank you card?
How many schools did you get into?
Did I miss something, when did you become a professional chef?
I know it hurts. It’s a temporary setback.
I don’t need a dramatic reading of it. I wrote it.
I made these. Eat one.
Because somebody was burried in it.
There’ll be no rest for the wicked.
Burn your life down.

5/10

The Good Wife 6.12

I know it may be one of the shows best seasons, but I honestly don’t feel it most of the times. I couldn’t be happier about getting David back! He brings absurd humor which this show needs.

I don’t even recognise these people.
I’ve missed this. All usul disasters.
What does that have to do with my married life?
You know you can tape whatever you want.
I don’t have feelings for you.
We want you back, David.
The governor’s stepping in for the mayor.
I’ve came home Alicia. We’re partners again.
I’m gonna win.

5.5/10

Eye Candy 1.01

Following R.L. Stine’s every project since the 90s. I am very upset about The Haunting Hour cancellation. The pilot was good enough, I will watch the series.

Sarah!
Filthy crooked teeth. Now I have to kill you.
He must have known I’ll be able to do this.
Too love me. Stalk me. Kill me?
She’s hacking their phones.
No, that’s not legal.
He’s at the apartment with you, get out!
Say it or he’ll die without knowing.

Congrats to Julianne Moore on winning a Golden Globe for her startling performance in Still Alice!

Shameless is back next week! What’s with shows and Taylor Swift this week? SVU’s ‘Welcome to New York.’ ‘Aww just like the song’; Parenthood’s ‘We’re not out of the woods yet’ The Simpsons’s ‘Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?’ Not Taylor Swift really, but got me thinking of ‘Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet’, and finally I watched the new Disney version of Into the Woods yesterday and I swear I waited for the song to be used in the closing credits.

Parenthood 6.10

All the Braverman mothers talking about motherhood was everything I wanted. Hank finally showed he is good enough to be Sarah’s match. The writers focused on showing us Hank adapting in a stressful and uncomfortable situation when he wants to help, but his Aspergers robbed him from certain social skills, to see him evolve and figure out what’s right or not to talk about was magical. Drew was feeling guilty about the Paris trip. And like I said in the intro, when the doctors said ‘We’re not out of the woods yet’ I smiled and automatically thought of Mae and how obsessed she, Sarah and Miles were with this Taylor Swift song. Also, Jesse Marchant’s Remembers Defeats from the incredible opening scene is still on repeat. Plus, I obviously cried through the entire episode, but my father teared up at three scenes, and that says something as he usually says ‘they’re not real, stop crying’, but for some reason, never when we watch Parenthood. I know we’ll both miss the show deeply.

No! Damn it.
Walk of shame.
We’ll get there on time. I mean.
Also, rip off someone who can afford it.
Grandma’s 94 or sth and dad’sin ICU.
Zeek, we’re all here.
I’m sorry, It’s family members only. He’s my husband.
That’s all we know.
Life is short, baby. You gotta hang in there.
He doesn’t even eat right. I saw him by the candy machine buying tweezlers.
Favorite loser.
Thank you for being there for me. For my family, for my dad.
That’s why we probably should be vegetarians.
That’s why we should get married.
Amber, Drew. I love you. I love you too.
Don’t ever give up on your own dreams.

SVU 16.10

Just imagine none of this would hape if Amanda didn’t feel this sibling need to protect her little sister. After what happened to her in Atlanta she should have never helped her siater again. She brought so much trouble on Rollins back in season 13. And what on earth happened to Liv? I was really hoping she would apologise for never asking what happened in Atlanta, and for being so harsh on Rollins after what she did last year. But most importantly, I wanted to see her take Amanda to her psychiatrist, make sure she gets help and won’t put herself in any more mess.

Is Liv already in?
The vic is that young detective from Atlanta.
I’m sorry I need to take this.
It isn’t just going to go away.
Yeah it will.
You can never tell who’s capable of anything.
I think Amanda Rollins put her and you up for this.
Just leave me be.
She’ll get over it. She’ll pretend like it never happened. If you pretend long enough, after a while It’s like none of it happened.
He thinks he’s entitled.
You think you’re Patton’s first good girl?
So everything they said about you is not true?
No.
No piece for your old friend Sam?
NYPD won’t bend over.
Bend over?
That girl got what she wanted. Just like Rollins did.
Amanda, you know I don’t take no for a answer.
He pinned my hands above my head and he told me I wasn’t going anywhere and no one would believe me. I gave up. He raped me.
Are you talking about Amanda Rollins? I didn’t rape her or that other girl.
Does that include any other blond young detectives you mentored?
You’re only as sick as your secrets.
Can you go back to that detective?

10/10

Revenge 4.11

Victoria seems completely harmless without Conrad. I hate where the story is going now. Did we really have to turn Daniel to a villain? Wouldn’t it be easier to just kill David? He brought his own trouble to the Hamptons and he’s starting to get really annoying. Also, he wants to kill Victoria and I simply won’t watch when Madeleine leaves, so they better stay away from her. I really hope the writers will bring the order back to where it was at the end of the season and Victoria back to the Grayson manor. I am starting to like Margot, she’s making it her life mission to avenge Emily. I just hope they won’t kill her off. Why is Jack taking personal days? You don’t look suspicious at all.

Daniel! Daniel!
Wait what did they say?
Basement it is.
You left the key in the rear door.
What kind of monster would that make me.
Dude, who you’re talking to?
Victoria’s gonna stay here.
Are you out of your mind?
I’m so…
You’re welcome.
Sorry, did you just say a father.
What?
Underneath all the scar tissue.
The night of our wedding.
Someone is headed for Disney world.
I’m sorry about Daniel.
I know.
I’m going to make it my life’s journey to see you pay for what you’ve done.
No but she can.
Soon you’ll be teaching your own son how to do it.
Would you destroy it please. That way we won’t have any more funerals.
It’s always the little things that get ya.

10/10

American Horror Story 4.10

This season is very messy. I just want to see Elsa make it in Hollywood already and be done with it. I really hoped she would sing in every episode, without it it’s just Dandy killing people and a bunch of nothing. I hate that they have already killed the best characters. Did we really have to kill Dandy’s mother off? I couldn’t care less about the twins looking for someone to deflower them. At least they brought Nun back. They should have done everything I’m their power to get Lily Rabe.

If you don’t get an ambulence now!
We are where we belong.
Imagine that. Being a freak for being normal.
How’s he going to defend himself without his hands?
You can’t get it up without a doll watching you.
Let’s tear this place apart.
Again.
What a psycho. Tell me. How did they die?
We should have been included.
You’re a magician. You’re gonna saw thslis in half.
Homo erectus nonsense.
That’s all I needed to hear.

Bad Judge 1.10

Rebecca and her friend go to a young people party.

6.5/10

Bad Judge 1.11

I cannot figure out why this show chooses to sabotage itself on every possible occasion, when it had so much potential.

If things don’t go your way, you may never see a woman again.
Is it true you have a sextape?
There was never porn on it before.
He’s never seen a woman naked, has he?
She’s done a lot worse.
How low? A squirrel came to my house.
Feels so much later in my heart.
Is this the group sex thing?
You don’t see me walking around judging people.

5.5/10

Cougar Town 6.01

The final season started very poorly.

What? Fat.
Baby socks with nickles.
Just tell your atupid story, Tom.
Imaginary hat.
I have so many strechmarks on my ass.
My garage is completely sound proof.
On the other hand, secret wine bar.
Should have worn a condom.
You’re not 40.

4.5/10

The Simpsons 26.10

I really thought I was gonna hate this one, but it was so funny. President Coin was read by the same person who read Mockingjay’s audiobook? Lisa made me want to go back to veganism.

Are we there yet?
This time I’m gonna write down where I parked. ‘Parking lot.’
You planted that on me, man.
Don’t get off the bug.
Welcome to the bug, welcome to the bug.
Acid.
I don’t like the end sound of that.
Tooton Abbey.
Come on, start this thing, I’m not impressed.
Potato chips. D’oh. D’oh! Stupid kid, you ruin every trip.
Sure pick the only two times in history when thinga got messy.
Can I turn my phone on yet?
Homer, you have to stop dropping your pants in front of everyone who claims to be a doctor.
In Sophie’s Choice she chose the boy.
Kid’s got talent, but come on.
The Hunger Games.
Silence.
That all will be eaten.
Hommus and rice cakes.

9.5/10

Switched at Birth 4.01

This may be one of my favorite episodes of the show. We’re in college now and I have to admit, I did get emotional very quickly and stayed that way till the end. I absolutely adored John’s reaction to the news of Bay taking the blame. I am not sure if I am happy about Daphne not going to Galudett when they have a real pre med program, but as long as we’re keeping Marlee Matlin on the show, I’m happy. Just imagine how average the show would be without her. I can’t wait to see Daphne at college, the show it’s gonna get better just because of that.

I saved my sister’s life and I feel lucky.
That is brilliant!
Bay Kennish, you’re under house arrest.
Melody, some parents want to meet you.
Yeah, I heard that.
With some dude who arranged to have a brick thrown at your mother’s head?
A family feel.
She said as long as I’m in college she’s fine with it.
You redit it.
What deaf program?
You’re hard of hearing?
Fully deaf.
Someone fluent in ASL and chemistry before Monday?
Her other mom.
She just gave me a 100 days more of community service.
How would you like to make a hell lot of money this semester?
I can’t believe there’s even one of you.
So you can go off and make films for your community from your perspective.

8.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 5.14

I don’t know, sometimes I think I’m 15 or sth, cause I cried when Ali finally got arrested and the detective told Spencer they dropped the charges and they now think Ali killed both Mona and Bethany. How could I not cry? Bitch is behind bars and that’s all that matters. Even though she’s not A, she still deserves pain for being mean and bitchy to everyone. The girls are finally talking about college, It’s annoying how they stretched out 2 years to 5 years. The police playing the tape of Mona’s murder was my favorite part of the episode. Also, they got Mrs Grunwald back, but she couldn’t tell us more than that Mona’s in purgatory. The arrest scene was excellent as well, felt proud the girls were there. It’s surprising how I finally stopped complaining about the show and now actually think my life would be missing something without Rosewood.

Showing up to your victim’s funeral. Classy.
It was her, Alison, alive.
We all wanted to stuff Ali in that empty coffin.
It all seems to go back to Radley, doesn’t it?
Whistle.
I want you to help me find the body of the girl that’s suppossed to be in that box.
I know she’s your sister, but so am I.
I see, but through a glass, darkly.
There’s no peace. Only fear.
Sure ali has an alibi, but how strong can it be when Ali’s DNA is found at the crime scene.
Okay. Teach me.
You guys tell Mona’s mom she has cameras in her house.
Mona put them in herself.
Shut up, Ali.
Alison DiLaurentis, you’re under arrest for the murder of Mona Vandervaal.
The Mona you knew. The real Mona.
I bought a 69 dollar ticket to Atlantic City.
The police thinks Alison set you up.
She got out.
No gates, no dams, no barriers.
No I do not accept this.
They don’t allow fireworks in prison, right?

10/10

The good wife 6.11

Kalinda got herself Into some serious mess. I wish they showed us more scenes of Diane killing it. Weren’t we just shipping Alicia with Palmer? Why is she kissing the head of her campaign? I haven’t seen an episode the entire Christmas break but wasn’t she having accidental dates with Palmer? I’m glad Cary’s out but at what price. Also, that was quick. I really thought Cary would go to jail.

Yeah, he’ll call you. Like it’s the first day of school.
Now let’s find you a white friend.
Export not import.
Judge doesn’t like you.
Take her phone. Hide it.
6hours.
We’ve had worse.
What the hell?
This is very dramatic.
Less talking. More sex.
Chew like this.
How about you show me how to make it hypothetically.
I can’t figure anything out.
We pulled it from his computer.
Sit down and stop lying.
You’re free to go Mr Agos.

Greys 10.13

I am so happy my favorite show is finally back from hiatus and in such a big greys style. The way Meredith hugged Alex saying ‘Alex, please, please’, best scene of the season. No relationships with coworkers? Shonda you’re ten years late with this rule. Warren filled the ibtern spot for Heather, I am so happy for him, I don’t know why I haven’t thought of it. When it comes to me, they could get ridbof all the interns, maybe not Jo, but it’s not just Leah thats annoying and whiny, they all are. April chose Jackson, and that last scene, that’s all, thank you.

10/10

SVU 15.15

Every episode of SVU feels so fresh lately. Another excellent case. Laura Slade Wiggins played the victim. I miss Karen Jackson.

10/10

Shameless 4.06

One of the best episodes of the show.

10/10

Shameless 4.07

Wow, no government job? Fiona you are screwed. I am so happy Lip is still doing his studies and that he wants to finish college. Mandy in that squirrel hat. Ian sleeping for money and Deb cutting herself and going all ‘fuck’, because a guy 7 years her prior wouldn’t sleep with her. Frank getting again kickedboutbof the house, amazing episode.

10/10

Castle 6.15

It’s real life Carrie! Castle and Kate dancing to In My Veins.

10/10

Castle 6.16

Alexis finally realizing she was stupid and finally acting responsibly. Even though her situation is the exact opposite of mine, and I could relate to her moving out at the age of 19, I love that she moved back in, this gives me hope. Weird case which was simply better when I didn’t know how it turned out, it was so fun when they all confessed to murder and Castle was all ‘this case is fantastic and not so boring after all’.

10/10

Suburgatory 3.06

Tessa joins a cult, whatever. Tanning senior class? So Chatswin and so amazing, was waiting for it since the trailer for season 3 was realised. I just hope it’s just not a one time thing. Dallas and George have to get back together. And Noah being all anger free and bursting at the end, hilarious.

7.5/10

Nashville 2.16

What a fabulous episode. I just love when everyone is singing and an episode has at least three songs. I cried when Glenn was quitting, oh this scene was so painful. Rayna losing it at the end.

10/10

Cougar Town 5.06

This may be Cougar Town’s best season.

10/10

Cougar Town 5.07

Another fantastic episode.

10/10

Scandal 3.11

Paul Adelstein is doing so good, I couldn’t be more proud. Everytime I want to quit this show, it gets good.

10/10

Switched at Birth 3.05

8.5/10

Switched at Birth 3.06

Chicago PD 1.06

I will not watch it, even though Voight has such an amazing tone of voice I couldn’t focus on anything else. The SVU crossover good, but nothing special.

9/10

Pretty Little Liars 4.20

Probably the best episode.

10/10

Pretty Little Liars 4.21

Teen show currently at its best.

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started in 2010 as weekly reviews of 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, mostly thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd.

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

Enjoy!

About the Author

All I do is watch movies, the good, the bad and the ugly. Sometimes I make my own.

Check out my latest film (120K+ views on Youtube):

www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3Iz23hD7M

I’ve seen over 6000 films and 220 TV shows. I have a degree in Film Production, and wrote my dissertation on Italian neorealism. I mostly gravitate towards social issues films, anything Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio De Sica or Jafar Panahi, etc.

I rate films within genre. I watch a lot of films on Mubi, Filmbox Arthouse. My favourite directors are Yasujiro Ozu, Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Zhang Yimou, Roberto Rossellini, Ingmar Bergman, Brian De Palma, Vittorio De Sica and Andrzej Wajda. My favourite actresses have always been Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. I’m nostalgic and reminisce a lot. I’m at the cinema 10 times a month. And I’m a Polish-British millennial.

I will watch anything:

psychological | arthouse | foreign | independent | drama | horror | lgbt | strong female characters | female centred films | dysfunctional families | sexual assault | troubled childhood | mental health issues

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)

‘Dr, I have been this way since…since I can remember. There is no cure.’ (American Horror Story)

‘He was so crazy about me, I couldn’t breathe. So we tried drinking our way back into love, but it never made sense in the morning. So I ran. And every time I came back, he was here. And he was still crazy about me.’ (My Blueberry Nights)

‘Bree van de Kamp had always wanted to live her life with elegance and grace. That is also how she wanted to die. Her plan was to pour herself a glass of her favorite chardonnay, put on her most stylish nightgown and leave behind a note on embossed stationery.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘All we have is this moment. The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today. So be… here…. now.’ (Six Feet Under)

‘On the train coming here, we were in the same cart, I saw you, you were reading and you feel asleep. I didn’t dare to look at you, you were so beautiful, it was scary. Afterwards,  I couldn’t stop thinking about you. It made me smile. Then I thought of all the men who would get to hold you, who’d make you laugh. How lucky they were.’ (Enemy at the Gates)

‘It was a good day. Maybe even a great day. Even when it was hard, I was the me in my head. There was a moment when I thought I cant do this, I cant do this alone. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing it, and I did, I blocked out the fear, and I did it.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a time when we must expose our weaknesses. When our secrets can no longer remain private, when our solitude can no longer be denied, when our pain can no longer be ignored, but sometimes we feel so alone that a weakness we thought we’d overcome suddenly becomes too strong to fight.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Why did you get married, Esti? Why didn’t you just leave? So everything was all right when I left?’
‘No. I was ill.’
‘What sort of ill?’
‘In my head.’
‘If I had to sleep with a man, why not with our best friend?’
‘Oh, Esti…’
‘It hasn’t been a complete disaster.’
‘And that’s enough?! Do you have to have sex every Friday?’
‘It’s expected.’
‘It’s medieval. What happened to you?’
‘Nothing. You happened to me. And then I started teaching and that became important. I give them ambition.’
‘To do what? Push out seven babies and be a good wife?’
‘Don’t. Don’t. I help them to value themselves.’
‘Okay, but what about you?’
‘That is me. And you? Are you happy?’
‘Yes, I am.’
‘Have you been with other women?’
‘No. Not really. And you?’
‘No.’
‘But, Esti… Do you still
only fancy women?’ (Disobedience)

‘OK, then, listen. Let’s not get caught.’
‘What are you talkin’ about?’
‘Let’s keep goin’!’
‘What d’you mean?’
‘Go.’
‘You sure?’
‘Yeah. Yeah.’ (Thelma & Louise)

‘She let me live at Nora’s house. She let me believe that I was a part of their family. I fell in love with that family. What am I supposed to do, just sit there, pretend I’m related to them? I was happy. For the first time in my life I was happy.’ (Brothers and Sisters)

‘You will be left all alone with your bitterness and your rage and your knowledge that you loved her and she loved you and you threw it away for them.’
‘Do you love her?’
‘Yes.’
‘And Have you always?’
‘Yes.’
‘So then ask her.’
‘Olive, will you forgive me?’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘No razors, no scissors, no fucking freedom.’
(Short Term 12)

‘You can’t take a picture of this. It’s already gone.’ (Six Feet Under)
