Faking It Season 3: Review

As you’ve heard MTV axed Faking It and as sad as it may be, we’re not surprised. Where do I start? Karma’s parents decide to live in an open relationship with this one lady. Pass. There’s a new chick in town who pretends to be confused just to win Amy over Karma. The very sketchy girl is with whom Amy ends up at the very end of the series. What the f. No words can describe how disappointing this season was. Karma ended up with Felix also at the very last minute of the show, even though they could not care less about each other. Lauren desperately wants to be a successful youtuber, instead of embracing her inter-sexuality, she uses it to get followers. There were some funny moments, for example Karma’s ‘Hump Day’ video going viral. The show introduced a transgender character, sadly much too late. After all, It was a pretty good show, that gave voice to people of different sexualities.

This is how I rated the show each week.

1. 3
2. 3
3. 10
4. 7
5. 6.5
6. 0.5
8. 2
9. 2.5
10. 2

Giving us a total of 39.5 points, divided by 10 episodes = 3.95

Not even a 4.

The show averaged at either 5 or 4, but the quality of the script kept dropping rapidly, in result giving us only 3.95.

There was only one episode worth watching. Episode 3, where Amy tells Karma she’s hurting, as she may still have feeling for her, and Karma replies that a part of her wants Amy to love her.

The script improved since the second half of season 2, but not excessively. Seocind half of Season 2 got only 1.95 from me (19.5/10 episodes), an absolute disaster. Now the first half of season 2 was much better: 5.15. I haven’t got into rating season 1, as I started watching the show a few days before season 2 began. I will rate it one day just to know, as I have a feeling it was a little above 6.

There were very few memorable moments this season:

  • Karma telling Amy she doesn’t know how to be friends with her as she doesn’t want Amy to suffer.
  • Amy pinning all labels to her chest.
  • Amy telling Karma with the other girl she could have what Karma couldn’t give her.
  • The new girl saying while pretending to be gay, she realized she really is gay, which is exactly what happened to Amy back in season 1, and what we were told would happen to Karma at the end of the first half of the final season.

And to wrap up, some of my favorite quotes of the season:

‘There’s a clear pattern of you kissing girls.’

‘Maybe I’m not 100% over you and maybe there’s a part of me that never will be.’
‘Maybe a small part of me does want you to be in love with me.’
‘I don’t wanna keep hurting you but I don’t know how to be your friend without hurting you.’
‘I don’t know either.’

Time for reviews. Some of the last ones this year.

Greys 12.23

Meredith finally hooked up with the kiwi boy! Unfortunately Ellen said not to get our hopes up. Which I did, the minute he was introduced. No one else would ever be this suitable to be McDreamy 2.0. This episode gave me the awkward cringy feeling that Shonda may try to get Meredith and Alex together which is awful cause they’re basically brother and sister. And she already did that with Izzie and George and we remember how well that turned out. Owen sold Derek’s trailer without asking Meredith. And now he’s marrying Amelia one episode after they got engaged. In the meantime, Jo refused to marry Alex, and I am honestly not even bothering to guess why. I never liked Jo. Meredith told Amelia to stop being so confident and cocky and copying Derek, and I don’t even think that was unnecessary. After 12 years we finally got to see the exact way from the ORs to the gallery and it was satisfying after I lost the sense of what the hospital looks like after they introduced the enormous set of stairs a few episodes back.

Now you even have his confidence. Get your own life.
You’re hot, you’re smart, you’re funny.
You’re gonna be my best man.
Then hell, I say go for it.

8.5/10

The Good Wife 7.19

A funny episode. I have a feeling we’ll miss this show next year. Mondays will feel a lot empty without The Good Wife.

You will not embarrass my husband.
Your honor.
Your worship.
What?
Your worship.
Could you live in Canada?
We request asylum.
3 years.
Oh my god.

6/10

The Good Wife 7.21

Why did they destroy the whole floor at the very end of the show? Was that really necessary? Diane ruined her relationship with Kurt right before Alicia buried it completely. For a one-to-last episode it was extremely disappointing, but so was the series finale.

No I mean construction.
What construction?
They had the wrong floor.
We should expand to the 29th floor.
Kurt, I’m sorry.

4.5/10

Faking It 3.06

Why is everyone so sex crazed in this high school?

Stop fucking my mom.
Are you saying you would do her under different circumstances?
Hello boyfriend, you just got back from the gym?

3/10

The Family 1.08

Finally a great episode. So the girl who was sleeping with her brother on Private Practice is just as much of a psycho as her boyfriend?

We’ll check if there’s any sex offenders in the area.
There’s one.
Really?
How close?
Close.
You need a friendly neighborhood pedophile.
You would be sitting in the corner slitting your wrists.
Mom, why?
You’re my son.

10/10

The Family 1.10

How old are you?
19.
Nice to be here.
Why is that?
Irony.
The dirty inmates.
That’s when they clean the dirty.
What’s in the bag?
The rest of my life.
You’re gonna tell everyone that I id this.
He would have to admit that he had two kids down there.
There was a boy 12 years ago when we used to live.
Monsters don’t remember names. Girl scouts do.
Do you think Adam would have liked this?
We lost a child.
And you have two left.
I hang out with sexual predators and we meet on Monday evenings and swap stories and play softball.
Our lives are screwed.
I googled it. When you’re younger, you bounce back, kids are plastic.

10/10

The Family 1.12

This is exactly why you don’t watch shows at work, I missed the most important thing! And then read about it online! Spoilers ahead, do not continue if you don’t want to know how the whole series ends. I missed the part when the pedophile’s wife heard someone kicking in the shed and her finding Adam is still alive and getting him out of there! I thought they already got to Canada and she was shocked to see a shed next to the house, as she knew him kidnapping a boy would happen again. So I continue watching while working and then suddenly the pedophile lays shot in the woods, uhm what? And then at the very end Adam tells Ben he’s coming home. I missed the whole pedophile’s girlfriend/Adam alliance. The real Adam was in the shed the whole time. I am pissed. I need to watch the ending again.

I don’t care if he had an elephant.
That was Adam, I am Ben.
For 10 years he was ket there like an animal. It’s not his fault he became one.
It’s a desire that you know you shouldn’t have but you want it anyway.
That’s rape.
Wanting it doesn’t make you a monster. Taking it does.
It’s some other kid taken even before Adam was taken.
You took my life, I’m coming to get it back.

10/10

The Simpsons 27.20

Homer gave Lisa Annabelle the doll as a present. Witty and fun as the Simpsons go to France.

Chubby dude in a tiny car.
Stop speaking French.

4.5/10

The Simpsons 27.21

You forget most of that’s hair.
Barbara Streisand once forgot the words to a song and didn’t perform for 3 decades.
I’m kidding The Simpsons will never end.

2/10

The Catch 1.07

So Penny from Lost (‘Not Penny’s boat’) is now Alice’s therapist, that can’t end well. Still not into this show and couldn’t be more shocked that it got renewed.

Black dot means I need help but It’s dangerous to ask.
Tell her everything or you’re wasting your time.

I have decided to post today, as I don’t normally work on Mondays, but I will tomorrow, and then I won’t be able to post on Tuesday, and Wednesday just seems too far away, and I’ll be doing season reviews by then. How did you all like The Good Wife’s finale? What about Grandfathered?

The Middle 7.21

I have never seen a show or a film showing us the process of dorm lottery, and as I have never lived in a dorm, it felt not only exciting but informative. Meanwhile Frankie fought with an oblivious new neighbor who just happened to have extremely loud little kids. True story time, let me tell you how annoying some neighbor’s kids are. I went home for two weeks this summer and half the time, including when I was packing and leaving, my neighbor’s 18 year old daughter was blasting music to the point I could hear every word while walls shook. Imagine if I was in my senior year studying for the finals. Yeah. One time I was happy I was a little older. This episode I started liking Sue’s roommate, Lexie. Also the idea of Sue being friends and roommates with Lexie for the next 3 years is very soothing. If you found your crowd on your first year and stuck with them than you’re lucky!

I want a full size cookie.
I want a full size vodka.
Those stupid neighbor kids.
Our kids? They were inside on video games all day. We were good parents.
That old bat was all up in everybody’s business.
My grandma shuffles and she loves life.
I bet she told you to return the pan. What a pain.
I did what every adult would do, I snack out at 5 in the morning.
A lot of TV is actually good.
If they don’t speak Nickelodeon, they’re in trouble!
Yummy children!
That our flat screen would go great on this wall!
This is the post hangover, pre-drunk rush.
Are you all sleepy from your chronic fatigue?

8.5/10

The Middle 7.23

Even when they’re average, they’re still better than most comedy shows nowadays. There’s not many couples are ship more than Brick and Cindy.

Nothing better than kids coming home from college…Get this crap out of my doorway!
Sweet, dear, innocent Brick.
She’s in a ditch!
Mom’s really cute, someone would totally wanna kill her.
I can’t believe we found each other.
I love you.
I love you two.

6.5/10

Nashville 4.17

Oh, I’ll miss you and your wonderful songs I used to download every week.

Viewers need to call their local radio stations and request Will’s song.
You were really nice, you welcomed me in Nashville.
Second time I met you, I knew you’d have changed my life.

9/10

The Good Wife 7.20

Funniest episode this season, mainly because of Alicia’s mom and brother. Zach want to go to France to write his memoir, even though he’s 20. Those damn Florricks, always thinking they’re better than everyone. Clarissa will go to law school and Jackie tells Alicia they’re exactly same.

I’ve been thinking about writing.
What are you gonna write?
A memoir.
Drinking, I see?
So why law school?
It was gonna be our O.J.
And you still have a job?
Tell me why I should be a lawyer in three words or less.
You’re smart.
It’s his mistake. Let him make it.

10/10

Grandfathered 1.20

A year has passed since the pilot? Why the time jump? They should have saved this episode for the finale, well the happy parts.

It’s the woman Olivia Pope was based on.
That’s Kerry Washington’s character on Scandal.

6/10

Grandfathered 1.22

It ended, and badly too. Last scene of the show was Jimmy getting stood up by Sarah. They so didn’t expect it to end. Nonetheless, thank you Grandfathered, for keeping me company this year.

We’re grandparents.
1989. Very Taylor Swift.
You always return to classics.
Kept taking me to the airport.
She’s the one. She’s always been the one.
She’s the one I’m supposed to be with.

5/10

The Family 1.09

A solid show, sad to see it go. The pedophile pregnant wife may be almost as sicko as he is.

I’ll spend the rest of my life wishing he was the one who got sick down there.

8/10

When Calls The Heart 3.06

I doubt that I’ll ever be able to write anything good enough to be published.
I am tired of being tested.
Sometimes even the strongest people are so paralyzed by what happened that they’ll do anything to avoid taking the one risk that might change their lives.
Tell me you love those children as much as I do.

7.5/10

When Calls The Heart 3.07

To match my eyes? Something bloodshot?
That’s so dear of you to say.
Five kids?! But children are very noisy. And they come with diapers. Do you know what’s in those diapers.
Children?
The whole concept in general.
You have to pray about it?

5.5/10

Faking It 3.09

The show is ending and no one is surprised because of how truly bad it was this season.

We’re just a couple of friendly Aussies.
We’re just tourists from down under.
So you’re a lesbian now?
I’m sorry.
Don’t be, you saved me.

Castle was cancelled, at least they won’t have to kill Beckett off.

Nashville was cancelled too, after escaping death the last three years.

Grandfathered was cancelled.

The Family was cancelled after just one season! I know ratings were bad, but the show itself isn’t.

And The Catch was surprisingly renewed.

I’ve lost especially lot shows this year. It started with Downton Abbey, then The Good Wife, then it was announced Bones is ending next year, then Switched at Birth and now all these.

Reviews of this year’s seasons will be posted with my ratings the minute all the shows go on hiatus.

I’m picking out new shows to watch over summer. Sure I’m excited for Scream, but other than that there’s only Pretty Little Liars. Since you know, Orange is the New Black is a one day thing. I haven’t seen Grace and Frankie yet and I’m trying to figure out which shows to start this summer. I’m thinking Weeds, Awkward, The Goldbergs and catching up on Ray Donovan. I definitely want a few more as that’s the only way I can survive work. I tried watching Buffy, but I just wasn’t interested like the other 5 times I started watching it. Episode 2 and I was already unimpressed. I will probably watch something from Netflix, Rake, Miss Fishers Mysteries and we’ll see what else. I wanted to give Everwood a try but it was just as boring as Summerland. I will probably catch up on 90210, I stopped watching after season 3. I’m afraid I won’t find a new show and I’ll be stuck rewatching the 75 shows I’ve followed over the years.

Speaking of shows I’m not watching, I watched that episode of CSI:Cyber that had Spencer Locke in it and it was quite good. Spencer is the only ex-teen actress who’s career I’ve been following since Resident Evil 3 circa 2007, from project to project (she was amazing in Landmine Goes Click, a great rape-revenge horror). I gave the episode 8.5/10, but it did not convince me to start watching the show, it was just cancelled too.

Castle 8.18

I am starting with Castle this week, because as you saw above, it has been cancelled. This episode was actually fun. Some of them just are, as this is more of a comedy show than a crime series. It focuses around Aladin and Castle is all over Jin’s lamp. How did they even do research for this episode?

And had her beheaded so no other man can have her.
Story teller inside me.
He was a tomb rider.
He found Aladin’s lamp!
Don’t say that he wished for it.
I need to start making a wish list.
Can you make sure she gets the dibs on first rub?
Whatever clearly legal endevour you’re engaging in.
I really wish…
You did have the time to creep over to the lamp to rub the lamp, and wish upon the lamp.
Make belief time with Castle.
Your reality challenged husband.

10/10

Greys 12.21

Since when are there so many stairs? And since when is the hospital painted red? I really thought it was the court’s building, not the hospital! Shonda’s shows are always sex crazed, last episode was about Stephanie and her naughty sex life with the patient and this week everyone saw Owen’s package. I really hope Bailey doesn’t divorce Ben. Arizona is my favorite character since Meredith took Callie’s side.

Tucker had a fit.
Very PG, nothing like we saw this morning.
Did you hear about the fake leg? I’m probably not the best runner in a crisis.

8.5/10

Bates Motel 4.07

With my stepfather.
Have you been sleeping with him!?
Don’t embarrass yourself by lying to me.
If I’m near the person who makes me feel comfortable and whole and safe.
We’re gonna start with 3 sessions per week.
Alex please, please, please.
You brought me a big beautiful TV and I screwed it up.
Welcome home.
Thank you, mother.

7.5/10

Nashville 4.18

We’re saying goodbye to Nashville and this is what they show us? I know they booked Elton John for episode 4.20, but the story lines are just awful this season. Maddie is a brat, I can’t believe she got emancipated. Also little Daphne just lost a recording contract thanks to Maddie. I bet Rayna will make her wait till she’s 18 to sign her independently.

My song is on the radio! My song is on the damn radio!
Glen, tweet whatever you want from my account.
It only works cause we’re the exes.
And then you finally heard it and it doesn’t matter anymore?

5.5/10

The Middle 7.22

The Middle has 24 episodes this season? I’m impressed. It’s the most underrated comedy show out there, and it’s sad that so little people watch it. Season 7 was a challenge, since both Axl and Sue are out of high school, and let’s be honest there’s only so many things you can come up with to do in college. High school years were always fun, especially for Sue. But then when you think about it, Sue makes even college cool. I mean Axl’s story lines are always so boring, just what college years are for people. There’s always something happening with Sue, even though I feel like there could be even more.

Who even eats lettuce. A rabbit?
Wait we used to have a rabbit. Where’d that rabbit go?
I’m paying it forward, backward and sideway.
She said she forgot to set the DVR to record Castle.
Such a clever show.
If there’s anyone who belolngs is a country themed amusment park it’s you.
And you’ll be there with Brad.
How the hell am I failing my psych class?
You see the list? Scroll down till you get to Castle.

7.5/10

The Family 1.11

Only the ‘understanding a pedophile and a sex crime victim parts are good. No one cares about the election. In this episode the extremely annoying and slutty reporter found Ben’s biological mother, while Claire found out it was Ben who killed Adam.

None of this makes me a kidnapper, at most it makes me a country song.
Just enough to build your trust, so it was confusing when he crossed the line.
We both know how this is gonna end for me. It’s not in a hug.
Sex offenders registry. It’s a national database. You gotta do it yearly.
They notify your employer.
Because I watched your son too.
I know why you’ve been weird or depressed or whatever.
How do you know. That I’m gay?
I think I just came out to you.
Ben looked at the man who took my son and he let him go.
He didn’yt kill Adam. Ben did.
I’m Adam.
I’m Hank.
What was his name? Your little boy?
Ben.

10/10

Grandfathered 1.21

The show started off nicely, and now it’s a mess. I am only happy that Paget and John’s characters are getting together! And I Josh Peck is hilarious, check him out on Vine.

Oh my God, he looks like Glen Close.
He would have liked my family.
One of the guests is wearing a Tshirt that says Gremlins 2 now on VHS.

2.5/10

When Calls the Heart 3.05

I still haven’t seen the season finale and I only finished watching 3.07 this week. This just shows how uneventful this show is.

I always thought it would be easy to be a writer.
It’s much easier to think of yourself as a writer than it is to sit down and write.
The whole world will be my stage.
Every heroine needs an annoying neighbor.
You do know that moving pictures are silent?

4/10

Scandal 5.18

I just wrote about Landmine Goes Click being a good example of rape and revenge genre. In this episode we found out Jake’s father used to molest his sister, so Jake used Ronan’s training to avenge his sister.

What kind of a bout allows his sister to be raped?

3.5/10

Scandal 5.19

What happened to this show this season? I want the election already, and I want Mellie to win.

You can come work for me, little Abby.

4.5/10

The Simpsons 27.19

What a fun episode.

In America it’s pronpunced ‘job’.
Collect at every age.
As seen in this epiosde.
The most glorious sign. ‘Toilet’.
10 000 lace to see before you’re 10.
I’d never think there’s be something I’d want to stare longer than that car wereck on the way here
You’re 180?
That’s what my blood pressure says.
I can’t stand rich people.
Billioners retreat.
Let’s think about it quietly.
Jeez Flanders. You find God in everything.
Big Maggie.

10/10

The Catch 1.01

It’s a pretty boring show, and the only reason I’m still watching is who they cast as the leads. Mireille Enos and Peter Krause. My mom always says Lauren Graham’s boyfriend is so handsome, my dad says that’s Adam and I am happy to see Linden back on my screen.

He never looks at the camera.
He doesn’t ask for anything, so you give him everything.

5.5/10

The Catch 1.02

She paints over the edges.
A 75 year old man. He died the day we met.

3/10

The Catch 1.03

And your credit cards seem suspiciosly new.
I won’t come looking for you becuase I already found you.

7/10

The Catch 1.04

Getting worse with each episode.

It was real and I love you.

6/10

The Catch 1.05

Ben, my name is Ben. Benjamin Jones.

5.5/10

The Catch 1.06

Faking It 3.07

So awful I’m glad it’s only 20 minutes long.

Pretty sure go fuck yourself means we’re done talking.

Faking It 3.08

Why am I still watching this awful show? I keep complaining about it every week and yet I still watch it.

Just pick bisexual so we can have Christmas.

Who will even watch Castle without Beckett? Every Castle fan ever is feeling very crappy this week as Stana Katic was written off Castle. (Lanie too) No one wants to see Castle, Alexis and that new PI in LA or NY or wherever as long as Beckett is not with them.

Greys 12.18

I just love CCTV portrayal in films and TV, as that’s what I do for a living. And yep, that door opened.

Mom’s in OR 1, dad’s in OR 2.

Greys 12.19

Who would have thought I’d be Callie and Arizona fighting for custody, not April and Avery. When I heard Callie say Arizona can come visit I thought why is she so sure, she’ll get custody, cause Arizona cheated? And then as Arizona was sitting at that lawyer’s office, I remembered that Callie is Sofia’s biological mother, and however unfair it feels (Arizona raised that child from day 1), Callie has custodial priority. The jury with Maggie and Meredith and Owen was just the perfect fit. Ben calling Tuck his kid was just the cutest, also when Bailey called him Benjamin. I am so happy they changed the kid who plays Sophia, cause this one is a cutie. Also, why does the new Zola look so much like Shonda? Is that her kid?

I know I’m only here for support…
About, I don’t know a 100 feet.

So I don’t leave our child asleep in his bed.

SVU 17.13

Sometimes the more witnesses, the less help.
I learned to function while drunk.
I think she’ll be drinking by Friday night.

4.5/10

Shameless 6.05

We are so organized for a homeless family.
Never fails, Gallagher crisis, Frank is drunk and high.
We got evicted.

10/10

The Good Wife 7.13

That monologue. Probably best of The Good Wife of all times.

He just whispered Help Me.
Sir, if you want my help…
Sometimes I want to pull covers over my head and never do anything. I’m drinking like I never had before.
And al I wanna do is have another one.
Now I’m sick to death of everything.
I’m stuck in this stupid little apartment.
I’m not build to be an unhappy person wondering what ever happened to my life.
Do you have any guns in this apartment?

10/10

How To Get Away With Murder 2.15

Hmm, is Frank gone?

What’s wrong with you, you stupid?
I live alone, it’s not that bad.
Micheala relax, I know how to handle this.
Caleb killed my mother.
Because I’m in love with him.
Are we supposed to believe any of that?
Why do you keep doing it? Believing what men tell you.
He needs to go.

10/10

Nashville 4.15

I’m obsessed with that Wild Car song.

I’ve been with him since I was 14.
I’m a sick chick, I’m a real sick chick.
To the man I have always thought of as my father.
Everybody’s got a sad song and this one’s mine.
To tell the truth, I always knew I’d be one.
Like choosing the band leader.
I miss performing.

7.5/10

Faking It 3.04

Another good episode, also every time Lauren or someone else says What the Fuck the show gets better.

With all the lesbians this summer.
She really fucked me this time.
I didn’t choose my label. I’m stuck with it.
You refuse to label, how convenient for you.
If I talk about it, it’s real.
Somebody asked me today what normal even means and I didn’t have a good answer. Maybe I need to find one.

7/10

Faking It 3.05

I love Parent Trap, both of them and It Takes Two probably even more, so i enjoyed this episode.

I’m frustrated that you’re going down her rabbit hole again.
Two Lindsay Lohan have nothing on us.
I know you’ll be busy Parent Trapping.
I was the first person to come out, in 4th grade.
I want you as my sister.

American Crime Story 1.01

Started off great, but why is he sleeping with his lady in his friend’s daughter’s bed?

He didn’t ask how she died.
Please don’t kill yourself in my daughters room.
You want your kids to grow up with no parents?
Oh my God, we’re gonna look like morons.

Some older reviews that weren’t posted.

Greys 12.15

Catherine Avery is a very hated character in my house. My parents hate her just as much as I do. Arizona wanted good and Kepner will need her. Jo stands up to Meredith, but I just think she’s being over-dramatic like always.

His women ran way, stole his job.
Why is she telling me this?

7.5/10

SVU 17.12

This is an older episode of SVU that I never posted with Liv back at her therapist office – right after she was held hostage. This episode of SVU covers every party ever. The defense in incredible in this episode.

She was raped at a school dance.
The maid noticed the dress was stained.
I told him not to go down there.
I couldn’t move or speak, it was like I was paralized.
#pickthatcherry
It was the boy’s first sexual encounter. He got excited and finished before anything even started.
Cherry pickers club.
The nerd defense. They made him look like Harry Potter.

10/10

Shameless 6.02

No one’s gonna ass rape you on my watch.
Totally looks like you fucked a fish egg.
Get up. She’s obviously retarded.
Not fair to other students, who manage to keep it in their pants.
Wrong answer son.
He used to be white.
Shittiest bar at the south side!
Never been the best at anything.
He doesn’t belong here.
Cause he’s black?
Curable.

10/10

Shameless 6.03

Where can I download that Fucking Fiona song? Simply best episode this season.

Who’s Sean?
Her boyfriend.
I thought she had a husband.
Nah, white girl, I don’t know you.
We was in juvie together.
I’m tryna wipe, do you mind.
You have a husband, or a boyfriend?
She has both.
We’re missing forms. We’re not new at this.
‘Fucking Fiona was fucking everyone
Fuck you Fiona
Fucking Fiona fucking everyone
So fuck you Fiona…‘

10/10

Shameless 6.04

Carl imagining himself driving while ‘I wanna perform on your stage’ plays, amazing. And Chucky is back and so is the uncle they framed for touching Deb to get the house!

And they’ll know you put out, that’s a plus.
Cousins who wanted to frame me as a child molester.
Fuck your con artist fucking family.
Hi aunt Fiona!
Would you get your Nazi nephew breakfast?

10/10

When Calls the Heart 3.03

Abigail goes on a date with the ex criminal pastor. Apparently this episode was so sweet I gave it a 10. You’re kinda in a trans when you watch this show, it’s what costumes and slow talking will do to you. Look how charmed with Downton Abbey everyone was.

Starting with that pretty lady of yours.
First time in my life I get to choose what I want to do.

10/10

When Calls the Heart 3.04

Why are all the kids the same age? There’s maybe 2 or 3 years between the youngest and oldest kid in the class and all they learn is kindness and respect. I’ll have a When Calls the Heart marathon tomorrow as I haven’t seen the remaining 4 episodes.

You are my inspiration.
Looking for a better life, but it took a while to find it.
Before you know it home will be right here.

8/10

Grandfathered 1.11

Edie is a model and Sarah gets cut out of the picture. One of the best episodes.

I grew up chubby.
I love this! My baby is a model!

10/10

Faking It 3.03

I can’t believe it, Faking It has finally had a good episode. And the one after it is even better! This hasn’t happened in forever. What’s with the ‘hump’ video, why would anyone do it? Was it some sort of a commercial or something?

Never wear bottom liner, it makes the eye smaller.
Resist the temptation to forgive.
There’s a clear pattern of you kissing girls.
Things can’t be all good all the time.
Why did it hurt so bad to see you kiss her?
Maybe I’m not 100% over you and maybe there’s a part of me that never will be.
Maybe a small part of me does want you to be in love with me.
I don’t wanna keep hurting you but I don’t know how to be your friend without hurting you.
I don’t know either.

10/10

Scandal 5.16

Best episode this season.

You’ll notice he’s my ex husband, not husband.
Mellie, I will get you the oval.
The decision to interrupt me while I was speaking.
This is wrong, Quinn, we can’t do this.
I did not earn this office. I was not fairly elected to this office.

10/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.20

The finale, oh boy. Remember how everyone was saying that in the book Ali had a twin? Yep, someone else does.

Aria and Ezra hooked up and Hanna and Caleb kissed, yes. The flashback to Hanna running to tell Caleb she’s wrong was cute, one of the best scenes this crappy half season. Also, old picture with Caleb’s long hair also gets a point. It won’t be a big spoiler if I say one of the liars is taken by the new A.

I should have checked the floors.
Who would have thought of that?
A!
Thank you for giving me Hanna, you’re free to go. – A.D.

The Middle 7.19

What an episode! But what kind of a teacher invites their students to their apartment. Isn’t that what the campus/campus cafes and library are for? My whole family laughed so much during this episode.

Unless they thought the teacher giving it was dreamy.
I literally don’t know who any of those people are – Me in high school and Paris Geller an the graduation
That’s great we should be celebrating.
We don’t wanna meet them.
She’s weird and they’re probably too.
I’m weird and you’re not.
That’s true.
What dinner are you watching?
Cindy’s the love of my life.
And teh thousand things Sue tried out for.
Maybe if I was dating an orphan polar bear I’d have a better luck.
Because I wandered into your closet and imagined where all my stuff would go.
I wish your parents weren’t so cheap.
Hey, pink coat, how’s it going?

10/10

Nashville 4.13

Or they have back when I had a recording career.
It’s a symphony of scars.
You have to be registered with school for pick ups.
You think writing about sex makes the song good?
Hey guys, I want to play you guys a song that I thought the 3 of us…
Maddie whats wrong?
Glenn, if you ever saw me acting like Juliette again just kick me or something.
I would do anything for her.
We put both of our names on all the songs.

7/10

Nashville 4.14

I don’t really think that perfect makes for a very good song.
If only you knew more people who write songs.
You know there’s another songwriter who lives here right?
Hell, I could write a book.
And just for the record, Lila’s awesome.
I haven’t been doing well. I’ve been suffering from postpartum depression. I apologize. I shouldn’t have sign on to this movie. I need to be with my daughter right now.
What do you mean, she picked us?
The exes are officially in big leagues!
I believe in you. I would like you to come back to Will L records.

6.5/10

Thirteen 1.02

He was at my school, I must have been chosen.
She couldn’t get out of here fast enough.
But this place is home.
It’s called an Ipod.
Or he isn’t finished with Ivy yet.
This is ours.
I’m not a child anymore. I’ve had sex.
Can you confirm that the CCTV footage shows you walking unaccompanied?
Here you are actively looking for your kidnapper.
You walked up to him, your abductor and you took his hand.

10/10

Thirteen 1.05

I’m enjoying how badly this show portrays British sex crime officers. Loved it when Lisa read the registration number, reminded me of my SIA exam. But how on Earth was he so stupid he didn’t move the car? I am not sure I’m okay with the perv dying so quickly. They should have made the manhunt longer. I’m downloading the last scene song as I write this. Amazing episode.

EDITED on 14.04

Apparently I didn’t get the memo of this being the series finale, making the show so much worse, as it ended with the police looking like moron and it introduced lots of characters we didn’t need to know who only stole the screen time. I knew it was supposed to be a mini series all along, but 5 episodes?! The show has already come out on Monday! I will miss this show, even though it didn’t meet my expectations at times.

Phoebe, I’m a policeman, you’re safe.
Oscar Victor 06 Zorro X-ray
Move the fucking car, Elliot
Lisa, Elliot?
Me stupid, after what you’ve just pulled?
You need to get ready now, in front of me.
I’d like us to start a family.
Thirteen years wasted.
Everyone out there has changed and I thought it was their fault, but it’s yours.
I was relieved.
Power tower.

Faking It 3.01

Oh god, why is this show so bad, yet got me hooked?

Faking it 3.02

Let’s upload that video.

Castle 8.13

Some episodes are just better than others, and this one is one of those.

The cursor, it’s just blinking like it’s so easy to write a book.
This guy draw a diagram of me being violated by ET.
Man ends up with deadly snakes.
How proud I am of you for breaking up with Mr Castle.
Can’t you see the lady doesn’t love you anymore?
I, being the expert in English literature.
Bonjour.
I’m a how you say chef.
Quelle votre…
How you say catch up.
I’ve had this dish before.
With a little help from my friends.
Your husband and his band of misfits are all over the foorage.

10/10

Castle 8.14

The only good thing about this episode was the tape Castle left himself.

Actors are psychopaths.
You’re exactly like your father.
I’m curious by nature.
I already work with the best detective and I want to go home.

4.5/10

Castle 8.15

Nothing more off-putting than British people pronouncing Los Angeles as ‘Los Angelis’.

Recruit Beckett, recruit Beckett, recruit Beckett.
How did we end up here again?
Peekaboo.

3.5/10

Castle 8.16

Ryan called Esposito’s mom Mommy, the cutest. What a funny episode all together. What surprises is, they never talk to families or children anymore. How unrealistic.

Just as nature intended.
There is a Starbucks two blocks away, would you like directions?
Where can I find him?
In a cemetery?
Technically they were in the same line of work. You can say they met on the job.
Turns o
That’s the wrong ankle monitor.
Gracias Mommy.
Turns out chicken, chicken. chicken is bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt.
How about some yoga stretches before bed?
Ok, that’s it.

The Good Wife 7.17

And it’s bad again.

My family needs a full time investigator. That’s not normal, is it?

Hi guys. I know I haven’t been reviewing films, (or writing proper reviews of shows either) since summer, but I will once the year ends. I have seen 253 films this year, and I want to make it to 300 by 2016. Here are some reviews I had time to rewrite today, some are missing, but will get posted on the weekend.

Greys 12.05

Oh the ugly dinner. Why are we keeping Derek’s killer on? And the bitch had the audacity to come back and pee in Mer’s bathroom. Shonda is making such a mistake hiring her. Best episode this season.

I like the whole where the wall was.
You’re smiling, like you’re in a hostage video.I like drunk Robbins.
Calliope. I used to call her that.
She’s going to join the program at Grey Sloan Memorial.
It’s where Derek died.
Perfect Penny killed my husband.
Derek was my brother.
Penny killed Derek.
Meredith said she killed him.
Penny was just going to tell me how my brother died.
So tell us how. I wanna know what happened. Tell me what happened.
Tell me the rest. Tell me all of it.
Did he say anything to you before you killed him?
Get her out of my house!
We’ll fire that bitch.
She killed Derek.
You should have told me.
Get her out of here before I kill her

10/10

SVU 17.06

Amanda’s sister is now a hooker. When she said ‘you were raped on the job’ I wished I could punch her through my screen. She never would have been raped if she didn’t have to protect your stupid ass. Also their mother is not much better as it turns out with her ‘maybe by then you’ll learn the value of family’. Important to point out: Kimmy convincing their mother it’s her agent calling her not her pimp. The new sergant is annoying and does not know anything.

No, that could be DNA.
What happens at SVU, stays at SVU.
Help Amanda and her baby.
You were raped on the job.

10/10

SVU 17.08

The new seargant is clearly not SVU material. He messes every case up and doubts Liv all the time! Come on, Liv knows what she’s doing!

He’s successful.
For your facebook page?
Its for Rollins. She’s gonna be pissed she missed it.

4/10

Downton Abbey 7.05

You’ve read too many novels, you’ve seen too many movies.

8/10

Switched at Birth 4.19

Do I really want to work for free?
Who cares what your mom does for a living?
Who said they need to be fixed.
What’s wrong with being abnormal.
Why is it that you tell her everything?
You chose her. Like always. Right now it feels like the last 4 years never happened.
You’re taking my job?

7/10

Switched at Birth 4.20

John being jealous and being mad at Katherine for wearing a tight but not so revealing dress. 10 months later Bay is a tattoo artist. And the last line that reminded me of Lost, ‘we have to go back’. I am said the second halfof season 4 flew by so quickly. I know I would have appreciated this show more If they played it as always, during summer, so no other shows get in the way. And I’m disapointed, as it may mean that we won’t get new episodes in January, but March or something.

You’ve got to let her go.
Your boyfriend payed 400 for the night.
In that dress.
You will be the artist you want to be, someday.
Go on your own.
I’m gonna do that.
But it gets better. I promise.
You should come with me.
To China?
You’ll bring your sketchbook. Get inspired.
The Switchters.
He’s perfect. He’s absolutely perfect.
Look at us honey, we are grandparents.
Carlton now. Carlton forever.
10 months later.

9.5/10

Bones 11.04

Booth stresses over Bones killing off a characted based on him.

You can’t kill Agent Andy. He’s based on me.
Thanks for the spoiler alert.
He’s easily replaceable. Just like agent Andy.
You’re killing Agent Andy? But he’s your husband.

Castle 8.05

Who knows, you guys. All Castle cases are the same.

6/10

Grandfathered 1.05

Gerald (Son).
Move the freaking car, man!
I think Vanessa has the car situation handled.
He was blasting Taylor Swift.
She was crying. He was loving it.

3.5/10

Grandfathered 1.06

You’re taking advice from a prepubescent kid.
Hacking into your mainstream.
That woman who tamed George Clooney.
And you are attractive.
I already told everyone in the bus over here.
Fake enthusiasm.
I’m binging on ice cream.
That’s not ice cream.
My sweat is staining up my shirt.
Are you using me for shade.
You were blessed with a big head, share your gift.
It’s locked it’s locked it’s a push.
I don’t play baseball. Did you bring it from your house.
My Amal is out there somewhere.

Nashville 4.03

Deacon’s sister dies.

3/10

Nashville 4.04

Yes idiot. I know.
I’m upset because I can’t be the way I am with you around people.
If I didn’t work with people with complicated lives, there would be no one to write with.

5/10

Nashville 4.05

Maddie sang with Juliette and lost her virginity to Colton all in one episode.

5/10

Nashville 4.06

Why is Dean’s sister from Gilmore Girls being a dumb groupie? Maddie is acting out. I guess they had to kill Jeff off as he joined Scream Queens.

What you wear what song you choose leaves a mark about who you are as an artist and as a person.
What is it, drugs, booze?
You are so talented.
You’re practically her father.
She was a born performer.
I would like to sing you one of her songs. She used to close every show with that song.

7/10

Scream Queens 1.05

I’m gonna look like a skinnier Angelina Jolie.
Someone always goes lesbian.
It’s super weird that you sleep with so many old people.
A panic room. Jodie Foster’s was small and gross.
I’m about to get murdered.
The only thing we can do is watch him die.
There wa snever any food in there. Just laxatives.
You and I are gonna outlive that nerd.
Thank you for making that announcement that no one cares about.
What a great way to pretend all those people we knew were not brutally murdered.

7.5/10

Scream Queens 1.07

I love Jamie Lee Curtis in this, but I do love her in everything.

And i do best to try to pretend I listen.
I saw that movie 50 times.
Just cause some damn hoe got murdered in it.
You know a woman’s face was burned with it?
We dont really eat around here.
This university can survive a series of killings.
You know why I never went into therapy? Beause the less we know about ourselves, the better.
Two babies?
That unusually weird girl with weird candle fetish.
You toothless inbreds.
Stupid foreign assholes.
Grace is the killer and this thing proves it.
You can stop killing everybody.
Why are you the same size as a 40 year old woman.
We all have mommy issues.

7.5/10

The Leftovers 2.03

Amy Brenneman centric episode. Finally. Laurie ran off some Guilty Remnants, and broke into some people’s house to get her laptop back from a kid.

I just need a file off that laptop.

7/10

The Leftovers 2.04

Evangeline as in Evangeline Lilly. Nice touch Lindeldolf.

Did it happen again? Are the people gone? Are they gone?
And then there are people who really wanna fucking die.

6/10

The Leftovers 2.05

Definitely my favorite episode this season, with Matt not being able to go back to Miracle and signing himself up for public punishment, by ‘carrying a cross’ just like Jesus did.

We live here.
I wanna free him. Because it’s my turn.

9.5/10

The Leftovers 2.06

Why so little Amy Brenneman this season? We’re halfway through and she’s been in 2 episodes.

Did you touch her that day?
Yeah its called lensing.
Because we asked them for help and they banished your brother.
I’m a lens?
Yes.
Demon has chosen you.
Say it again and say it slow.
It’s Laurie Garvey.

3.5/10

Scandal 5.05

Weirdos, focus.
A criminal, a whore, and idiot and a liar.
You fired Elizabeth?

6/10

Scandal 5.06

I don’t recall.
Olivia Pope’s band of lawbreakers.
Harrison Wright.
We’re all going to hell.
I didn’t say kill, you really have to let that go.
How sick is this. How sick are you?
He killed your son. My father killed your son.
Please hold for senator Grant.
You are my freedom.
You are going to make me the President of the United States.

10/10

The Good Wife 7.04

This is not To Kill a Mockingbird or Anatomy of a Murder.

6.5/10

The Simpsons 27.04

My friend actually did this, asked the police if he has the right to restrain a guy who attacked him a few days prior.

24 years trying to kill a 10-year-old boy.
Let’s move on to the next suspect.
Yes, there are intruders in my basement. Do I have the right to shoot.

3.5/10

The Simpsons 27.05

You gave money to this idiot?
Homer something.
You got into a fight with her because she wanted to give you a bike?

3.5/10

Faking It 2.20

What an awful finale, remember how good the season one finale was or the first half of season 2? When Amy told Karma about her feelings? Lauren can’t leave to Texas, she’s probably my favorite character, with her constant ‘What the fuck is this?’

You can tell me that kiss meant something.
I can’t.

2/10
