A show that ended too early. I wish we found out what happened to Lindy’s sister. It’s such a shame we never will. It was a nice teen show and it should have gotten that second season.

I have decided to quit American Crime, as it hasn’t really won me over and I don’t really have time to follow shows I really don’t believe in. I’m gonna stick with Secrets and Lies, because I’ve seen the AU version and it has Kadee Strickland in it.

Greys 11.15

Greys do their own 911 episode. Not as good as SVU’s but still. Ed Sheeran’s best song – Photograph is used, and the use of Staying Alive was at least disturbing.

She hasn’t lost anyone since November.
Ruby, I’m Owen.
The ohine is beeping. I think it’s running out of battery.
I don’t wanna ask her to do this.
Hahahaha staying alive.
The nurse that had syph.
Ruby?
There was a gap. I was just too different.
89 surgeries with no miss.
What does that tell you? That I’m better off without him?

10/10

Greys 11.16

Hunt just saved this little girl’s life over the phone.
My short twisty mad voice.
He’s not cheating on you.
It’s time to deliver the baby.
Whatever is gonna happen, is gonna happen.
Meredith, what happened?
I’ll forget that I’m a murderer?
You’re a freaking novel romance.
He’s done it before. He met a girl. He met me and left Addison.
It’s not just my wife. Elis had Alzheimer too.
I have an Alzheimers predisposition.

7.5/10

Greys 11.17

Worst episode of Grey’s history.

I’d take it alart, piece by piece. But immediately, there’s always something
left.
Seriously weird, seriously misguided.
When he kissed me, we were exactly the same age. All those years between us disappeared. Somehow we’ve never run out of things to talk about.
I love my wife. I don’t want anything other than what I have with her.
You. You. You are my everything. I love you and I’m not gonna stop loving you. I can’t live without you and I’m gonna do everything in my power to prove it.

4/10

SVU 16.17

She made me do her.
I’m thinkibg your sister’s fiance might have been raped.
It was right. And it wasn’t your fault. And it’s not just gonna go away.
It was a man.
Seriously? How does that even work?
Do you think a man could respond like that under duress?
Actually, yes, we do.
What do you mean other services?
It’s like free sex. I should feel lucky. Right?
It’s like onion. You cry, it doesn’t mean you’re sad.
It’s a mechanical, chemical response.

5.5/10

Shameless 5.09

What’s it feel like to be crazy?
Strap it to Chucky.
Uncle Carl?
He was cleaning his gun and it back fired.
I’m not Monica anymore than you are.
I told you not to fuck up your life.
You can’t drink it away. It won’t go away.
He ran that way.
He’s 13. He’s a little small.
Don’t shoot, I’m white.
Don’t say anything!
I want a fucking lawyer, motherfucker.

10/10

Shameless 5.10

Chucky’s Manson tattoo.

Let’s be honest. Chucky was not destined for greatness.
Even if he’s functionaly retarded, he’s still doing time.
What’s the occasion?
You have got to be kidding me.
If I didn’t know him, I’d rhink he’s an upstanding citizen.
He’s gonna be running that joint.

5.5/10

Shameless 5.11

What the hell happened to Shameless!? The only good thing was when Sammi rat Ian out. Have Carl and Chucky left the show?

They’re ready to take him to jail now.
It’s a shame when someone you love is taken away, isn’t it?

1/10

Cougar Town 6.10

He’s practically screwing her at the table.
House privleges are revoked.

5.5/10

Cougar Town 6.11

That’s why Grayson sprays cleanser on everything you touch.
You wanna tell me a story, act it out with beautiful people while I’m eating popcorn.
This isn’t like the hamster hostage situation.
What’s my birthday?
I’ll try harder.
I lost some beautiful wine glasses.
I just can’t focus enough to read a book.
Jules!
I loved it!

5.5/10

Cougar Town 6.12

How do we live without the cul-de-sac crew and jokes like ‘Jelly Bean must be rushing to get the results of her latest STD test.’? Don’t go. I will always love you, Cougar Town. Thanks for being here for the last 5.5 years. You were oh so good.

I hate people.
Pipe down, chucklehead.
This may surprise you, but sometimes I give off a creepy vibe.
Eh. We’ll see.
Laurie and Ellie had a kissing contest.
Yeah, pipe down ass wipe.
I proably look like Sigourney Weaver in that alien film.
Jelly Bean must be rushing to get the results of her latest STD test.
What the hell do you guys do when I’m not around?

7/10

Revenge 4.15

By tomorrow morning the world will have a completley different idea of Emily Thorne.
Emily and I are like superheroes.
And bad to those who don’t.
Jack told me the gym was on the 8th floor.
I both broke and entered.
I’m sorry I didn’t see it sooner. How much we are alike.
Emotion and sincerity can be faked.
You have done and sacrificed so much for me Jack, but I can’t Jack. I’m sorry.

9/10

Revenge 4.16

The last couple of episodes make it so easy to say goodbye to the show.

Who are you?
The last person you wanna mess with.

1/10

Revenge 4.17

The last couple of episodes make it so easy to say goodbye to the show.

Emily flew me in last night. Or should I say Amanda?
Oh how kind of you, but get out.
It was an accident.
Whith you there are no accidents.
The baby is gone. Daniel is gone.
I tried to end it, but it was too late.
Then she pushed me.

5/10

Bones 10.11

I have missed it, but this episode reminded me why I haven’t really missed it. Another weak case. Can we go back to season 6 when this show made so much sense? And then, and then the last four minutes comes, and we hear that Lance has left Booth and Brennan a love-story version of the book he wrote on them five years ago. You tear up and forget that the case you’ve just watched is about a few lesbians, who might all have out another lesbian in a tree. And you hear Sweets’s dedication and agree with it completely. My life means so much more with you Bones, it’s just that you used to be so much better.

I don’t have tea party with God.
My three year old can complete a 100 piece puzzle, I wxpect the same from you.
Why hide a body in a tree?
Booth, the screen was cracked.
I minored in religion in college.
It’s the book he wrote for you.
My life means more, because I know you.

6/10

Castle 7.17

Speaking of long running shows disapointing, look at this one.

Like I should be doing something more.

1.5/10

The Good Wife 6.14

My pants get so sweaty, so i remove them.
Grace, can you pray for him, cause I don’t believe in Him.

6/10

The Simpsons 26.16

Marge’s hair.

8/10

The simpsons 26.17

Shut up biking Flanders.
Cat Deely says You’re america’s next… Someone has clearly messed up the shows.

2/10

Scandal 4.15

That fear quote.

This is just theatre.
Something horrible happe ed to you. You could use something good right now.
Sometimes fear keeps us safe, sometimes it holds us back.
There was a hole.

6/10

Scandal 4.16

Worst episode of Scandal, but Huck killed.

She would have talked.
She is not your client. Abby is. Abby’s family.

2.5/10

Scandal 4.17

Emily Bergl was Cyrus’s wife, and Kate Burton is back and she’s taking the loss of presidency pretty well, and lots of Bucatinsky in flashbacks.

It’s been sixteen years and I barely know you.

4/10

Switched at Birth 4.10

As a writer, I get Emmett taking Bay’s story as an inspiration, but It was too soon, since the wounds haven’t healed yet. I stand with Bay. Working through it? That’s bullshit. But we undertand why they won’t work. A lot has happened in a year, they were just kids a year ago. You may not have changed, but your thinking certainly has. Daphne’s storyline was amazing. I am glad she’s retaking the class. Couldn’t she retake the exam though?

You had no right to put this in front of all those people.
This is my life you’re drawing from.
A couple of kids from your dorm got hit by a drunk driver.
There are no doctors or nurses here who know sign language.
What if you’ve given her the dialopid?
What happened to I’m always gonna come find you?
I guess we’ll need to redo the end of our timeline.
Oh my god. I’m taking that class again.
This is not because of you.

6.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 5.23

You were talking to A.
The texts stopped when Mona was killed.
It was A, not Mona.
is he saying what I think he’s saying?
Has she offered anything to induce your testimony today?

7.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 5.24

The liars got arrested.

I’m asking you to have three aswers. Yes, no and I don’t remember.
We’re not that desperate.
Yes we are.
We find the defendant guilty.

6/10

Pretty Little Liars 5.25

First of all, I am so happy Toby got Spencer’s parents involved in the A chase. Finally! And now Tanner knows too. Weren’t we supposed to find out who A is by the end of season 5? Is Andrew A or Charles? Is he Jason’s brother? Why did the DiLaurentises give him away?D Did he pretend to be a high shool student to be closer to them? Was is Mona’s old blood that was splashed all over rhe house that made everyone assume she’s dead? Why didn’t A kidnap Ali instead of Mona if he was obssessed with his little sister? Why did I A put a manequin of Mona into the back of their car?

We’re all going to jail. A wins.
If Mona was alive.
Welcome, please follow the lighted pathway.
Yeah, she’s Mona.
Why would it start all over again?
With a new puppet master.
It was a name. Charles.
A is recreating the prom we went to.
We know about A.
You need to charge our client or release him.
This is your prom Charles, you should e crowned the king.
It’s A’s layer.
Wanna say goodbye to your sister.
My God.

Eye Candy 1.09

We tattoed our wrists with our names.
I knew it was you.
Jake.

7/10

Eye Candy 1.10

It better get a second season, cause I’m more interested in Sara’s case than the flirtual killer, but I don’t like the idea that she orchestrated the kidnaping to ‘protect Lindy’.

Stay behind the gun.
Oh I intend to.
You’re him. The killer.
Hello, Eye Candy.
You’re my perfect one.
Jake killed his mother and his father killes himself when he thought she overdosed.
Show me all entries for Sara.
This is going to my hometown.

8.5/10

Secrets and Lies 1.03

Are you aware 70 percent of child killers inserts themselves into the investigation.
How nice, you can just stick ro your routine. Most people wouldn’t.
Okay. Elimination process. It’s not yours. It’s not mine. It’s not Christine’s. It’s not Abby’s.
Or what? You’re gonna kill me too?

7/10

Secrets and lies 1.04

Where you babysitting Tom?
Sexual misconduct.
They’rr brother and sister?
Your memory seems to be so conviniently unreliable.

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.

8/10

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.

10/10

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.

6/10

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.

2.5/10

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.

10/10

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?

Owen, thank you for bringing me the coffee.
So, how’s my head?
I like her.
Get me out!
But so am I.
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.
Arizona, it’s time.
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.

SVU 16.16

Worst episode of SVU ever. Even Marcia Cross did not help.

Just tell me that he doesn’t need to know.
He’s gone. As in taken.
Last words from the grave.

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?

10/10

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.

10/10

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.
Because I’m that guy? Of course not.

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.

8/10

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

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

Enjoy!

About me

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

favourite film and tv quotes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

‘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)
