The jury’s out! All of my shows except for Revenge got their renewals! I was scared for Bones and Castle as we weren’t sure if Stana was going to sign her contract and Bones is finishing its 10th season and in both cases the episodes got worse. I was afraid we’d lose Nashville as it was in danger last year. I followed ratings for every week and stressed about my shows like every year. We still haven’t heard about The Good Wife, but it’s a very safe bet, unless Julianna has somewhere else to be.

Congrats to Greys, SVU, Bones, Castle, Nashville, Secrets and Lies, The Simpsons, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder! See you all in the fall!

Greys 11.24

Reciting Webber’s first day of internship speech along with the characters. I hate the new interns already. How can you screw up on your first day? Meredith breaking down and throwing the charts broke my heart. Torturing my most favorite chracter like that? Kepner hauling the car and bringing it to the hospital is everything we wanted to see. Tunnel collapsed and Greys die hards see the ferryboat accident from season 3 in their head. Iasked my father if he remembers that episode and he remembered it as well as the shooting one in season 6. ‘Izzie had to drill in some guys head and didn’t kill him, and Meredith drowned.’ That’s right. What an episode. My second favorite after the bomb in the chest. This is what I expect to see next week. Lots of action.

Where we ever that young?
And so well rested.
And stupid.
And eager, like puppies.
Grey, you’re cleared. You’re going too.
I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t exist.
Damn it.
You were right, we can save him.

10/10

Revenge 4.22

Victoria is alive! I couldn’t be happier! Anxious about series finale next week. I need more Revenge.

10/10

Nashville 3.21

The Xs singed with Rayna! Rayna and Deacon thinking about the old love they shared and that fantastic song were all I needed from the show.

This is the right place for you.
You’re gonna be the Taylor Swift to her Katy Perry.
Bitch get 5 minutes at most.
Oh yeah cause who needs a great record deal.
Tell her I’m gonna have a ready album in 2 days.
And tell the highness she better not walk out on me when I deliver it.
Music has been there for all of us.
Let’s take this time we’ve wasted.

10/10

Castle 7.22

I cannot hear a Carly Rae Jepsen song and not think of Elsbeth Tascioni. And now maybe Castle.

Castle, there’s something wrong with you mother.
You’re just realising this now?
Come on boy, I’m gonna make your day.
Great parents teachers conference.
Something’s wrong with your mother.
I thought we already covered that.
You have earned it. Please don’t let some idiot with a self phone to take that away from you.
Martha Rodgers is amazeballs.

8/10

Bates Motel 3.09

Norma, don’t slip and fall into your pool. You may never get out.
This is not a pool. This looks like a bomb crater.
Having a hobby that includes cutting up dead things.
She thinks there’s something wrong with me
Is there something wrong with you?
Yes.
Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me.
Norman came to me and said that I raped him and then I realised he thought he was you.
There’s nothing wrong with Norman.
Norman is gonna kill someone and I just hope it isn’t you.
Goodbye, Norma Louise.

10/10

SVU 26.21

I love how it ended much more than the episode itself. There just wasn’t enough SVU work.

I told him daddy, the truth. That you never raped me.
I’m with Project Innocence.
Maybe it’s just easier to believe that your father didn’t rape you.
I don’t know, I was 6!
The truth is I don’t really remember.
We did the right thing
Did we?

4.5/10

Bones 10.17

Second favorite episode this season? Very relatable. Who let Bones sit at the yoga class and eat a yoghurt? And I don’t think the victims bones could get fractured by her obesity. Especially since the girl wasn’t that fat. She weighed less than 70 kg. Maybe she fell and her bones broke under her weight? More like it. Bullying that led to suicide, like I said, second favorite episode.

Again, not possible
I’m talking from my own expierience.
Bones fractured by her childhood obesity.
They pushed her to death.

10/10

Bones 10.18

This season had only a few good episodes and this is one of them. Still it’s more than season 9 did. But are Angela and Hodgins leaving?

I can watch the mini Booth.
NA. Narcotics Anonnymous, now we’re getting somewhere.
I remembered something Sweets said, serial killers’ first victims was closed to them.
Sweets used to say serial killers are compulsive and by nature, they can’t stop.
Tofu omlette.
I can make you a honorary squint.

9/10

The Good Wife 6.22

I’m gaving a crisis of confidence. A d it’s taking up all my time.
People aren’t staring at you. They’re too busy getting on with their lives.
I can’t take another failure.
In a few months it will be like it never happened.
My occupation now is beer drinker.
You were competitive.
There’s still something I miss about it. Looking at the law as something good.
Kalinda is gone.
I know.
Aha meaning yes?
Nobody ever tells the whole truth.
I worry about you when you sit at home.
I’m gonna have to work out of the apartment.
I’m starting my own firm, I’m only taking cases I strongly believe ina d I want you to join me.

10/10

Scandal 4.21

I don’t think the killing the vicepresident remark was a joke. I think they’re gonna do it. She brings trouble, questioning everything. I wanted Mellie to tell Fitz be should feel sorry for the rape victim and sympathise as Mellie was raped too. I loved that she stood behind rape victims in the end.

That woman was raped.
Hi Liv, I really need your help.
I’m a woman, why don’t I have women?
If Mellie Grant don’t show up on rape, we lose.
What about murdering your vice president? How long has that been illegal?
It would tell the world that we don’t condone rape
I wanna help, even though I’m not supposed to.
Rape is categorised as an occupational hazard.
She was raped, Fitz.
I believe that our daughters and sons deserve more.

10/10

The Simpsons 26.20

What is wrong with that Flanders kid, this season he wanted to marry his brother, little Maggie, and… his father.

You’re gonna stay your current ages for the rest of your lives.
How bad do you wanna sleep in on Saturdays?
I love you mean neighboor.
I knew there would be a sexist joke behind it. I knew it.
I’ll never grow up and marry Daddy!
These aren’t for children.now would you like a strawberry, bubble gum or watermelon favour?
You’ve been in there for 25 minutes!
Hunger Games. Elysium. Mockingjay. Children of Men.
Bart Simpson!
You just can’t protect your kids anymore.
Bart’s smoking E-cigarettes!
They are totally legal. Tell me does he like the bubble gum flavour or strawberry?

10/10

Younger 1.07

Peter Herman joins the cast and I want him with Liza. The young kid doesn’t have grown up interests.

200 pounds for used panties.
You were serving people?
You can’t degrade yourself.
Consider it an early Christmas bonus.

8.5/10

Secrets and Lies 1.10

A fantastic season finale, and the best episode of this show. I want to see Cornell put Abby in juvie so badly. Little brat and a killer.

I know you didn’t kill Tom.
You realize that by faulsifying a complaint, you’re making it hard for a woman who have been raped to come forward.
Abby is this blood on your sneakers?
I didn’t mean to! It was an accident.
Help! Somebody help!
Because she heard us fighting.
If Scott came back, you’d stay with mom.
What the hell are we gonna do?
She’s a baby.
She’s your sister.
And she killed my brother.
I won’t go. And if you try to make me, I’ll call Cornell.
It’s not your fault. You didn’t fail me.
Nat, you’re an amazing person, I’m fraid it’s in spite of me.
Nat needs a place to stay.
She saw the affection between you and I’m here to confess ti the murder of Tom Murphy.
Jess and then she smashed her phone to the ground.
Six blows to the head?
He did not kill Tom.
She had this plan for some time.
I just wanted to keep our family together.
Tom will not be her last victim.
Killers are getting younger every year.
I’m gonna put Abby Crowford away.
None of this would have happened if I just got Tom to the river.

I finally have a holiday coming up, so the next post will come in 2.5 weeks once I catch up with everything. There won’t be any SVU, Nashville or Castle till I come back so it should be easy.

Greys 11.14

This week’s Greys was legendary. The most incredible episode since Cristina left. But are we supposed to be okay with Herman never operating again, just because she lived? At least she can have her work published, but not seeing her mentoring Arizona is going to be painful, and never seeing her again is going to be devastating. I still can’t believe Shonda got Geena Davis to come and stick around for 14 episodes.

The key to win or lose is to never fail. And the only way to fail is not to fight.
So you fight until you can’t fight anymore.
I’m being superhero. There is a scientific study that says if you stay in the superhero pose for just 5 minutes before a job interview, and important presentation or a difficult task, you will not only feel better, but also perform better.
Never let go, never give up. Never run, never surrender.
Fight the good fight. You fight. Even when it seems unevitable that you’re about to go down swinging.
Nice to see you face to face. Now you got to go.
You think or you know?
I thought she had another month.
I hand picked you and you’ve let me down. Now I’m not just questioning your decisions, I’m questioning mine.
Read a book for God’s sake.
She will no longer be Nicole Herman.
I thought you were special.
Dr Herman was with me on my worst day. I just wanted to be with her on hers.
Kill the intercom.
I’m in over my head.
You have it in your head that he’s better than you. But he’s not.
It’s a priviledge. Great priviledge.
This is the point of no return.
You did good, Robbins.
I haven’t been that resident in a very long time.
You’re exposing yourself to direct radiation.
She’s in my head.
That was pretty damn badass.
Did she have a stroke?
You did this for Mark. I can’t make that call.
Mommy?
I knew I picked the right horse.
Can you see anything? Anything at all?
The point is I’m going to get to figure it out. Something’s gonna happen next. The point is, I’m alive.
Cancer took her sight and we took revange on him and killed him.
Only freaking superheroes.
And that’s how you become legendary.

10/10

Cougar Town 6.09

I can’t believe there’re only 4 episodes left! It’s one of the shows I waited to start airing and got excited with every new promo. Four episodes to go and we’re still the funniest. Andy crashing into baby trolleys was this week’s masterpiece.

Come on, I’ll destroy that loser.
Except for serial killer.
Hey guys how you doing, I’m Andy.
Let’s pretend it’s a workout.
Normally I would never order that many calories.
In case you’ve left him some place.
There’s my trophy wife.
You look like a three year old who has to go to the bathroom.
Jeez J Bird go to the can already.
That’s some impressive walk.
Since when can you drink kale?
Oh my god, are we having an emotional relationship?
There were two of us in that van.
I just find threatening people relaxing.

Shameless 5.8

Sammy is my favorite, Lip can just ask his girlfriend for a loan, why is he panicking. Deb’s new boyfriend doesn’t know that Deb wasn’t kidding with raping the guy. Sammy shot Frank, because he made fun of her for being so needy. Chucky shitting his pants had me talking for two days. Carl pushing Chucky into the crowd, later drinking coke during class, and finally Frank bringing cotton candy and coke for Chucky and Carl, telling the girl who clearly waited for money to beat it and Frank taking the sweets from the kids and consuming it himself the minute the photo time was over. Sammy took Fiona’s place so smoothly, I cannot complain.

I’m not on duty till 7.
Watch out sixth grade. Third time’s the charm.
Yo, shut the fucking door.
Only one is yours and three don’t live here anymore.
Numchucks and a pack of condoms. Magnum.
Is everyone in line cause their scheldules got fucked?
You’re really gonna shit your pants?
I did a little.
You’re gonna push into them.
Fuck you.
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
Take a pic.
Beat it.
Why is Chucky your slave.
Calm down, Sammy.
Tell me you fucking need me!
I love you Daddy.
I love you too Sammy. I love you too.

Nashville 3.15

The Stella Sisters are the real stars of the show. I am obsessed with their vrrsion of Boom Clap. Girl on fire is another great performance by them. I am happy Layla is finally going to show her talent, and The Three XXXs was formed!

Till the day I die.
Like a wish that came true, I can’t stop thinking of you.
Guess who’s opening for Rascall Flats?
With me on stage.
With some gay dude.
I’m gonna have one of your songs up on Itunes in 20 min.
I’m in this band with my two ex boyfriends.
Come sing with me.
Deacon Claybourne.
Can’t believe you’re here with me.
There’re rivers between us.
Please don’t leave me anymore.
I was a victim of domestic abuse.

7/10

The Good Wife 6.13

Colin Sweeney’s just the best character.

Tell them they’re ruining my reputation.
Is that a casting tape?
Let the record show I was pointing to my ear.
This TV show makes me out to be a killer.
These are all names of real people.
Oops. I’ll call back.
Let me see those great legs of yours.
Cause I don’t like fags.
Kick that fruitcake when he’s down.
Guess I should have moved those gloves.
Trick trick. Yes yes.
I’m talking about banging that bitch till she screams like a 5000 dollar a night whore.
Like I told ya, fag. Big fag.
Because you’re the best person I know.

10/10

The Simpsons 26.15

A terrible fate indeed.
What sir? That’s Homer Simpson.
Kill the car. What is this?
A goat.
I’m sorry I pretended not to be gay.
Pay attention.
I haven’t showed you the place where Dave Grohl got robbed.
There’s never a bright side.
Here’s to suffering in silence.
This involves charity.

Scandal 4.14

Simply great. The father sitting over his son’s body on a yard chair is the most powerful scene of season four. All I need is for Mellie to be the president, but my gut tells me people will fall in love with the new vice president. But is Fitz ready for abother 4 years of marriage? Why isn’t he protesting? What about Vermont?

Bring me the cop who shot my son.
They’re one cigarette from joing Andrew in the stroke world.
Mellie’s next. I promised her.
You’re not auditioning to become America’s next black activist.
I put a university sticker on the car.
And there he is, laid out on a cold street, dead.
Just something about the vice president.
Which side you’re on?
Not yours.
You told me you were going to pick someone boring and unelectable.
I prostituted myself so you’d get your mistress back.
How dare you! What happened to my turn?
Quit or got fired?
I have no more tricks in my bag!
We can check for a knife.
He doesn’t carry a knife!
I did. Besides you were right, we had a deal.
And completely unelectable.
It’s Liv.
Talk faster or less.
There was a suspect in the car.
His blood is not on my hands.
Not just on vaxination.
I’m terrible at talking to people.
A receipt for his new phone.
No one’s going to arrest you Mr. Parker.

10/10

Switched at Birth 4.09

They must be doing something wrong since the show is olain boring.

Let’s play ball.
You’re talking to an artist.
A deaf boy who falls in love with a hearing girl.
We’re gonna dance like no one’s watching.
Untitled Emmett Bensoe project.

Pretty Little Liars 5.22

This is how a teen show should go. Poor Hanna, got into all those colleges for nothing.

You’ll be out in 15 years.
The already is already building a case against the oerson they think helped you.
And who’s that?
Hanna Marin.
She went to visit Alison, twice.
The person who hired you is framing an innocent girl.
Take the plea.
Someone is framing her and the same person is framing me.
Do you think we could leave all that darkness behind and start over?
I thought you were right behind me.
But if Hanna is innocent and you name her as you accomplis you’ll have to live with that terrible lie for the rest of your life.
Alison took the plea.
You can tell Turner about A.
Your friends will understand.
What if Turner doesn’t believe me.
You have all those A threats on your phone.
Someone hacked into your phone. Thry erased everything.
Hanna’s been arrested.
So either Voyjack is A or he’s working for him.
They dound Mona’s clothes.
I changed my mind. I’m not taking the plea.

Eye Candy 1.08

Sarah.
Lindy, she’s alive.
It wa staken in your home town. 3 years ago.
My sister knew Babilon?
You’ve got 30 seconds to impress me.
The killer did this. It’s all his plan.
They were using me all along.
They don’t love you. Not like I do.
What if I tell you the people who hired you have information about your sister.
Hello Lindy, it’s so good to see you.
You used me.
What do you know about Sarah?
He’s one of those guys we rejected on Flirtual.
Isn’t that Lindy’s coat?
And she’s dating Lindy’s matches.
You’re the impostor.

10/10

Secrets and Lies 1.01

I have decided to give this one a look, because of Kadee Strickland that I miss on my TV every day. I have seen the AU pilot and it was much better, this is a very mediocre pilot. Also, they flew Indiana Evans from Australia. My money is on Kadee being Tommy’s killer.

Help somebody help!
We need you to come with us.
Stop it, leave us alone!
I know you didn’t do it, daddy.
Sometimes accidents happen. Mistakes.
You did know that Tom was your son?

5/10

Secrets and Lies 1.02

Better than the pilot.

Have you lied to the detectives?
The test was inconclusive.
His own wife daid he’s dangerous.
Maybe there’s something better on.
Christie, please let me.
So Tom was my brother.
Well you got the son you wanted.

6.5/10

American Crime 1.01

Good pilot, will watch. I have missed seeing Felicity on a daily basis so much. I’m so glad she didn’t retire like two other Desperate Housewives.

My neighboors, they look like they’re pretty much, well, dead.
Your son’s wife, there’s infications she was sexually assaulted.
Someone illegal?
It’s Tuesday and all they have is a description of a car?
And they said that Gwen might have been raped.
Why did you let them jump me?
We have to discuss your daughter being sexually assaulted.
I was at the garage.
They just know he’s illegal.
Do you know what these people did to us?
I still need the phone.
You were renting our car?
You’re under arrest.
I wanna see him.
I would know if my son was in trouble.
Your son was a drug dealer.

Congrats to Julianne Moore on winning an Oscar for her marvellous performance in Still Alice! It should have been her 5th, but what can you do.

Greys 11.13

How excellent was this week’s Greys? I just couldn’t stop crying. What are the chances Nicole lives?

Stop crying.
Cause that’s the way it goes.
Thank you for tking her case.
Oh shut up.
I’m on the edge of figuring it out.
You are my mentor. I believe in you.
Get it together, Dr. Shepherd.
My whole life I have been the other Shepherd.
Night night tumor baby it has been lovely. But we are done.
This surgery will be history.
Excellent. Excellent. You should be very proud of yourself.

This is the part where you trust her.
I wanted to leave a legacy.
Don’t you dare say it, Nicole.
Somw thing you just have to leave behind.

Cougar Town 6.08

You know it’s 9am?
Already?
Why does Grayson have a picture of Pink in the bathroom?
Grayson is trying to get her arms.
How could i’ve not noticed that?
No just chitchatting. Unless that was gold. Was it?
I thought it would be some gay sex film he did in high school. This is boring.
There are things that I hate. Vegans.
No one looks like they’re sex fighting. Okay this guy.
I’m the guy who’s in love with acting.
I don’t get any of this but wow!

Nashville 3.14

It was entertaining to see Rayna and Bucky fighting over the Edgehill artists. Rayna is going to sign Layla, but we all know Jeff is gonna bring Highway 65 down, unless he changes. I don’t want to see him blackmailing Rayna. Can Rayna not sign her if she says she wants Jeff to manage her carreer? Rayna should also sign Scarlett/Avery/Gunnar as a trio. I like that everyone is working on the albums. I now officialy want Luke gone. He doesn’t know Will’s gay and we all know what his reaction will be. Why do we still keep Teddy on?

Baby, I’m on it.
Is this because Jeff Fortem got fired?
I have not gained 75 pounds.
They’re realising all their artists from their contact.
Start from thw beginning. Why is he doing this?
I have no label, a crappy album of songs you made me record.
The masters are available, I can fix this.
I was wondering if maybe you can come add some guitars.
Oh crap, i got like 10 messages.
I can think of one label that will care.
All work on the album stops.
She’s a sucker for women in need.
She’s not? She can sing.
So I hope you like this, because I really want to work with you.
We’re signing her.
I got an offer from Highway 65.
So what you want mw to be your manager?
Do you want to be my manager?

Castle 7.16

What is wrong with this show? Why can’t there be better cases?

Whats going on down here?
Castle, we’ve got murder. To solve. Not to commit.
This might be a little out of our jurisdiction.
You’re gonna have to wear space suits.
Best case ever.
He volver did it.
There’s gonna be a few Castles running around.

Switched at Birth 4.08

Please don’t make me paint over that.
As a fellow street artist.
Just promise me I’ll never see your face.
Have you considered reaplying for art school?
In ASL we say happen past. We don’t have tenses.
I know.
We just say see and then tomorrow or sth.
You’re gonna sound uneducated if you use the wring tense.
Also you should makea typo to make it seem like you don’t care.
You might wanna lose the question mark.
Stop waiting for opportunities a d start making your own. You’re an artist. Create.
Hey red.
So tell me.
Wait what’s wrong with Sam?
You’re doing great.
Everyday heroes.
They just approved 6 more be benches.

Pretty Little Liars 5.21

Why don’t we leave Ali to rot in jail? So Andrew’s A? They always force scenes with the alleged A a few episodes before the season finale.

Can I ask you sth? A legal question.
U think it’s time we finally come clean and tell thw truth.
There’s more blood where that came from.
He burned him and made it seem like carjackung.
Warjack.
That means A hasn’t contacted him through email or text.
It might have crashed his skull.
For such a petite girl, you bring a lot of chaos.
Alison, who’s Warjack?

Eye Candy 1.07

How about we focus on the flirtual killer and get it solved before the show gets cancelled. And most importantly let’s save Lindy’s sister case.

Dollshouse.
You don’t get to play here.
Someone bought you out.
Lights camera freakshow.
Tommy hasn’t moved and Lindy’s still in the bathroom.
Who paid you?
He only wanted me to scare you.
You’re still my 10. My perfection.

How to Get Away With Murder 1.14

Everything that happened to me is because of you.
He was pressured by me.
Stand there and lie.
You lie to yourself, that’s how you do it.
Not all priests are paedophiles.
They’re not?
Doing photgraphy.
Were you molesting Brian?
I knew he’d find another Brian.
Still think he’s worth it?
I’m so confused. Does the book fo here or here?
Which liking? Like a brother?
At the altar?
Sorry I couldn’t be a better client for you.
Some sorority girls filed a report he was stalking them. I guess that was Annalise and Frank’s work.
What the hell’s going on?
Speak.
I took care of the judge.

How To Get Away with Murder 1.15

HTGAWM turned all The Killing and now we’re wondering who killed Rosie Larsen all over again. It was not at all surprising. It was obvious Sam hired a hitman, why else keep Frank around, n there was no way they’d let Rebecca live.

Shut up!
Sam might have been innocent.
I’m so sorry about all of this.
Help!
We’re not monsters! We don’t tie people up and hold them captive against their will. Who’ve you all become?
Some girl looking for Frank.
Oh good God.
You’ve been working with me for almost 6 months now and this is the crap case you present me with?
She killed herself when he was 12.
We’re team whatever freaking happened.
Whatev.
She’s a lesbian who’s in love with you complicated?
Eggs 911. Lawyer’s house.
Are you going to kill me Sam style.
Is that what you think I am? A freaking hitman?
He’s gay. Bi or experimenting.
Here’s thw thing. I love me, so I’m done.
He still loves you, even if he doesn’t know who you are anymore.
Would you shut up about freaking Rudy?!
Byt that doesn’t make her a monster.
Who let her go!?
No no no no no no please don’t be dead.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

Scandal 4.13

I slept with that filthy animal to save your life.
She’ll be sold to some rape gang.

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.

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.

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.

Very relatable to anyone was was ever obese.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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.

10/10

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?

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!

Who’s the insomniac?
Oh my god. I know why he’s killing.
Julia hated her teeth.
He wants perfection.

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.

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.

10/10

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.

6/10

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.

8.5/10

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?

10/10

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.

7/10

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.

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)
