The fact that my parents and I are the only people I know who are forced to continue coming in to work, despite not being coppers, pharmacists or medical staff is making me upset. I want my parents to sit at home and for me to work from home, but that’s not going to happen. They’ve closed cinemas and gyms, which means I’ll have time to clear off my Netflix and HBO Go watchlists and catch up on my shows. Two of my closest friends, a nurse and a pharmacist are also physically at work, but that’s understandable with their professions and I’m thankful for their bravery in this scary time. Everyone else though? Working from home, social distancing or self isolating. Here are my notes from the last few episodes I watched. They’re not reviews, because spending the world pandemic at work is making me question my life choices and just feeling resigned and upset with life in general.

Greys 16.17

Finally, a fantastic episode. Exactly why Greys will always be my favourite show. Jo and Link run into two teenagers in love at the train station. They later end up in the hospital when one of them is hit by the train. Mer tells Koracick what she would do if she was the chief. Richard quits surgery after showing early signs of Parkinsons. Link tells Amelia he loves her and we finally learn who’s the baby daddy.

OMG, Link, it’s the face eaters from this morning.
Amelia’s baby may be yours.
If you have a baby with Amelia, what does that mean for us?
Don’t push Amelia away.
I go with my gut.
I’ve decided to step away from surgery indefinitely.
Richard, this place needs you.
And that’s how I want to step away. At the top of my game.
We’ve both seen people clinging to their scalpel for more than they should.
One by one, they dropped off until Torres and I were the only ones left. Then she left. At some point it stops feeling like victory and just feels lonely. I just don’t know how to do this without him or if I want to.
Richard Webber is stepping down from surgery.
I hate that that hurts you, because you’re such a good guy.
I’m not a good guy!
I don’t think that’s true.
That is true.
You’re not okay. You’re not yourself. Listen to people when they tell you that. Get help before it’s too late.
You are not a replacement for anyone and if you need to tell me anything. My answer will be I love you. And we’re gonna figure it out. That’s my answer today. That’s my answer tomorrow. That’s my answer always. I don’t wanna live without you.
I was hurting, I was in pain. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love you , because I do, I want you. I fell in love with you, Amelia and I fall in love with this baby and that’s what matters to me.
I really needed to hear that, because I hot the results, the baby is yours.

8.5/10

Greys 16.18

This show is inconsistent at this point. One good episode, and then another two mediocre ones. DeLuca asks everyone to surround the child trafficking mother, but they form a chain around DeLuca. DeLuca ends up in the looney bin, and we learned that the mother may actually be trafficking the girl.

Do you know what they call pro-bono day in Ireland? Every day.
She fits the profile.
For what?
Human trafficking.
I gave up my European work visa.
Code purple. Someone’s getting violent with the staff.
Arrest this woman for child trafficking.

3/10

SVU 21.16

Amanda’s sister is back and she has a kid now. We meet Amanda’s dad, who’s a drunk. Amanda seems to have messed her knee up, possibly while running. Kim claims a doctor is extorting her for sex. Mariska pretends she’s on Grey’s Anatomy and goes undercover as a doctor. Amanda gets temporary custody of her sister’s kid. That doesn’t go according to plan, as the father overdoses. The new cop makes out with a woman while undercover. Amanda’s mother is moving to New York to help out, and that’s definitely going to work out too.

Doctor Benson.
He’s my nephew and I promise to take good care of him.
I’m not interested in how the doctors get laid.
That woman is undercover NYPD, and so is she.
Papa has a rolling stone.
No matter how fast you run, you can’t outrun your family.

6.5/10

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1.02

I didn’t know Jane has such a good singing voice. This episode made me super stressed about my work, so that’s not good.

Dad can communicate now.

3/10

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1.03

I need this entire soundtrack released at the end of the season, as I’m going to download all songs performed by Lauren Graham. In this episode, Lauren sings The Rolling Stone’s ‘Satisfaction’ and Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’. ‘Weeds’ brother in law was cast as Joan’s husband.

1.5/10

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1.04

Zoey learns that Mo is scared to show her real identity in the church. She also learns she doesn’t know much about religion.

Is this job really worth the cheaper rent?

1/10

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1.05

You know what’s extraordinary? The song Just Give Me a Reason by Pink.

It’s too passive aggressive. I like aggressive, aggressive.

1/10

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1.06

I’m here for the songs and Lauren Graham. LG sings Kesha’s Don’t stop in this episode.

I should check on Joan before she becomes a HR situation.

0.5/10

Carol’s Second Act 1.18

Here it is, the season finale of the show that made me miss The Middle and Everybody Loves Raymond. Kyle MacLachlan’s character loves pistachio ice cream? That’s my favourite flavour! Kelsey Grammar plays Carol’s ex-husband and becomes the chief of staff. We should see a lot of him, if the show is renewed.

I am not interested in Dr Kenney.
My great weakness is, I’m gonna say, pistachio ice cream.
I may have feelings for Dr Kenney.

2/10

Good Girls 3.03

Beth tells the bad guy she’s pregnant with his baby, because she thinks that’s the only way he won’t kill her. Beth convinces her husband Dean to have sex with her multiple times a day, so she can fool the bad guy into thinking the newly conceived baby is his. The problem is, Dean doesn’t want more kids, seeing how they already have four. I miss how good the previous 2 seasons were, this is a mess.

Am I just a sperm bank?

1/10

When Calls the Heart 7.03

Clara gets everyone excited about her wedding and asks Bill to walk her down the isle.

You’re going to be far too busy. You’re gonna be walking me down the isle. You’re the closest thing that I have to a father.

2/10

When Calls the Heart 7.04

While we’re dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic, Hope Valley is infested with chicken pox. Faith may have just exited the show when we weren’t looking. Everyone who doesn’t have children with  chicken pox, is selected for jury duty.

2/10

Modern Family 11.15

The shelf fell from the stairs while Claire was having her interview and Mitch and Cam are adopting a baby boy.

Daddy’s 44 and you’re 48.
I’ll be 66. And he’ll be 61.
I know that I can go into my office and file bills in a color coded divider and experience one moment of peace.
Yes, my husband and I would like to adopt him.

3/10

Schooled 2.16

The Beverly Goldberg Schmoopie Pie rule.

1/10

The Goldbergs 7.17

Jeffrey noticed Erika has become grumpy since giving up music. I liked this episode, because I could relate. As a teenager I used to do various creative things every day, wheras now, I don’t anymore and I’ve become pessimistic, and I’m always negative, sarcastic and annoyed by everyone and everything. Then I do something creative for a day, and suddenly it’s 2012 again and I’m happy.

Music was your life, it brought you so much joy. And now you’re just kinda frowny.
Erika hadn’t been a fan of a capella in the past. But in that moment, she didn’t just hear it with her ears, she felt it with her heart.
Molly Singwalds.
Go fuck yourself.
Cramps? That’s not a real name.
We definitely did it.

3/10

The Simpsons 31.13

I like this version of Cats more than the one with Judy Dench and Taylor Swift.

Vegan restaurant.
Cats.

1/10

The Simpsons 31.14

Homer shares Martin Scorsese’s opinion on Marvel films, something I agree with too.

Flag yourself challenge.
As a grown up, I know that muscle jerks in tights with magic powers punching and hugging each other is boring BS for babies.

1/10

The Simpsons 31.15

The Simpsons go to a phone rehab after they realize they spend too much time staring at their screens.

Marketing a murderer.
Most likely to murder.
Oh I thought they were donuts, just really far away.
Did you know our second dog is a cat?
Must retweet!
I could help you with your food addiction.
What do you mean?
Psychologically, you’re a baby with a gun sticking food in his mouth. Eat, eat, eat all day.
Wow, you’re such a great profiler.
With you, we wouldn’t even need DNA evidence. So sick of getting criminals to give semen samples.
Chief, you don’t need semen. A lock of her will do.
It would?!

8/10

The Simpsons 31.16

Bart is at doctor’s appointment.
Milhouse, you didn’t tell me your dad got another bad job.
You have no idea how far up there I went.
Listen, stupid Flanders.
Let me just walk away with dignity (said Homer with a dog stuck to his butt).

The Strangers 2: Prey at Night

I’m really disappointed they didn’t use the ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’ song from the trailer, it really is perfect for this. The sequel was alright, but it wasn’t worth waiting 10 years for. Back in 2008 what hit me the most was the eeriness of the answer to the question: ‘Why are you doing this?’ ‘Because you were home’. The sequel did not have any moments like that nor did it know how to create tension. But if you’re into slashers, you’ll like it despite its flaws.

6.5/10

Mom and Dad

Refreshing! Modern horror needs more new ideas, as at this point it’s all heavily recycled. My local cinema showed the trailer for this for 2 months before every single film and then they chose not to show the film at all.

8/10

Savannah Smiles

It has the ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ vibe to it, so I’m all for it. This summer I’m planning to watch every Bridgette Andersen film I can find.

‘She fell out of the car.’
‘Should I call a doctor?’
‘No no no, she’s used to it.’

ghoulies the trials of cate mccall night-before-e1526782203869.jpg

Ghoulies

If you never really liked Gremlins, you will certainly not like this.

2.5/10

The Trails of Cate McCall

I love courtroom dramas, and this was surprisingly interesting!

7/10

The Night Before

I did laugh when the baby said ‘fuck you’, so I guess the film could have been worse.

4/10

my-girlj.jpg fatherfigures lastscene

My Girl

They just don’t make family films like this anymore.

10/10

Father Figures

The only thing I actually enjoyed was one of the brothers’ obsession with SVU and Mariska Hargitay.

3/10

Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Last Scene Alive

Bruce Dawson (John), one of the original members of the Real Murders Club is no longer doing these? Aurora Teagarden films suddenly got… dreadful.

1/10

fatgirl picnic sherlock

Fat Girl

I was warned about the ending… and yet I wasn’t ready.

9/10

Picnic at Hanging Rock

This miniseries is an intriguing interpretation that tries to explain what happened to the missing girls from the book/film by adding new storylines.

7.5/10

Sherlock Gnomes

Another example of where trailer is better than the film itself. They didn’t use the scene where Sherlock accidentaly breaks one of the gnomes while saying he’s there to protect them, and then Juliet says ‘Like the one you just broke’ and the broken gnome asks ‘Who’s broken?, checks his hat and says ‘Holy fertilizer’. There was this little four year old girl one row behind me who screamed ‘Oh no!’ twice and when one of the gnomes fell and we heard it break, she asked her mom what happened and the mother had to explain the concept of death to her. Eavesdropping on how she struggled not to hurt her feelings or scare her was more entertaining than the film. The only good thing is that animation got better than in the first one, face expressions were clearly more natural.

4/10

sisters the rachels breaking in

Sisters

I bought this on DVD for less than a quid, and even though It wasn’t that funny, these two lines certainly were:

‘They can’t fucking roll in here like Jehovah’s Witesses!’

‘Take you dick out of the paint!’
‘Nooo, I’m gonna draw something!’

4/10

The Rachels

Lifetime keeps redoing the same story over and over and they will never make it right.

3/10

Breaking In

Panic Room wannabe.

I’ve started Modern Family, because of Married with Children withdrawals. I’m finishing season one and the show is only half as good as the Bundys and most of the comedies I watch. The Middle, for example is pure gold. I’m enjoying Sofia Vergara’s character, I also like Ed O’Neil’s character (duh Al Bundy),  Cameron and Manny.

SVU 18.08

A lesbian mom hits on Olivia making her uncomfortable and a child of two mothers is kidnapped. Olivia breaks up with Tucker.

Who loads a truck at 4am in the morning?
Actually, in New York, it’s not that uncommon.
You must be used to talking to people on worst nights of their lives.
No wedding ring, are you in a relationship Lieutenant?
Actually, I am.
I’m sorry.
That’s okay. I’m seeing someone.
A few months ago you told me you were happy, but you were crying.
I remember.
And you were right, we were never gonna last.
Take care of yourself, Olivia Benson.

7/10

The Middle 8.11

Frankie wins a maid! Almost none of them are any good and she keeps exchanging them, one of them kept saying that the bathtub, for example is non-fixable. Each time she came up to Frankie and said ‘Mrs, I need to show you something.’ and Frankie kept telling her to leave those for her to wash later. Axl moves into temporary housing with Sue, but they all get kicked out and Lexie finally caves in and lets her dad rent an apartment for her and Sue.

We won free maid service!
We’ve had the college experience, and the orphanage experience and the prison experience!
It was my real life Downton Abbey dream come true.
She clearly made some bad life choices.
Worse than us?
My favorite sister!
I’m your driver.
He’s cool, got 4 stars.
Mrs, I need to show you something.
Food is old, everything is rotten.
Mrs…
I know, I know, just show me.
If I give up, this is who I am. But as long as I’m trying, there’s still hope.
Brick is 3 years away from graduating from high school. Sue is always at home and Axl is about to graduate, so you know he’ll be moving back in.
I mean, I have a daughter, but Coleen is better.
You can’t win twice.
That’s truer than you know.
Home is where the crap is.

8/10

The Goldbergs 4.12

School is closed as it has snowed in and the Goldberg kids are stuck at home. While Adam and Barry build and igloo and fight with Murray over the thermostat, Erica is about to send in her college application. She wrote and essay about her personal hero, and Bev gets a little intrusive when she finds out she’s the hero. Sending application by post and listening to the radio announcements as to which schools are closed made me feel nostalgic. This show is a ray of sunshine, brings hope and just makes the future seem promising.

Am I still asleep or did he say closed?
Meanwhile, mom cleaned Erica’s room, like an FBI agent.
87, temperature of the rich.
Every day you roll your eyes at me and you tell me I’ve ruined your life and I know that’s how it goes, but it hurts.

3/10

Nashville 5.02

Season 5 started off so well, unfortunately, the next three episodes did not meet the criteria. Rayna asks Deacon to write their story.

I want us to write our story. Together.
Like a book?
No, a record, like a concept album.
If I don’t take this risk, I’m not gonna be an artist anymore.
Some of the best music comes out of some darkest places.
You’re the one that’s always telling me that pain is the gift.
You’re right, the pain and passion, it’s worth it.

3.5/10

The Good Place 1.10

The show wasn’t that good, but watch it because you’ll enjoy season finale!

I’m ranking my favorite fast and furious movies. You said you wanted to know who I am and this is the best way to get to know me.
Are you making a move on me?
Maybe you, if he doesn’t pick me, I’m gonna start throwing stuff.
I take it the moron is me.

3.5/10

The Good Place 1.11

We learn how Jason died.

I’m sorry, crazy high Eleanor was my nickname in college.
Walmart. A place regular people go, you haven’t heard of it.
Well, fork you too.
That’s cute, I love you too, little egg.
One of the giraffes tried to hump him.
No, not cool, he stopped learning at the age 7.
Yeah dog, ‘I love butts’
Oh that was another serious crime I comitted, I should have mentioned that earlier.
Is it just me or am I acing this test!
He suffocated to death in there.

SVU 18.07

Olivia saves Carissi’s life and Tucker tells Olivia he plans to retire. SVU’s social media account sure gave us a scare with the whole Olivia retiring rumor. Boy was that a fright. For the first time since season 15 we’ve had an episode that wasn’t haunting or a bit exceptional.

It changes you for the worse, not the better.
Who are you and what have you done with Carissi? You really feel that way? The job doesn’t change you, it makes you more of who you really are.
It’s okay. It’s completely normal.
Not in a creepy way.
There’s no other way to stalk someone.
Yeah, this is detective Amanda Rollins NYPD SVU.
This is not your fault.
They’re predators. They look for light, they look fo goodness and try to steal it.
Being a cop didn’t change him. He was always bad.
Hope this does not make you want to retire.
No, the exact opposite.

7/10

The Middle 8.10

The Hecks go to an escape room and they try their best to beat the Donaghue’s high score. I rated it as 3.5, which officially makes it the weakest episode of The Middle.

We’ve finally given up.
We ate pop tarts, because we like to support American businesses.
That’s what’s great about you Hecks, you have fun no matter what!
Dreaming is just showing off while you’re asleep.
We beat the Donoghues!
What do you mean how was my day?! We beat the Donoghues! It was a great day!

3.5/10

Nashville 5.01

Juliette survives the plane crash and Rayna has PTSD after Juliette’s flying experience and decides to take a road trip back home to Nashville. We will probably never see Lyla again, and Rayna has realised that she failed as a producer, but she cannot produce her own music as she doesn’t feel she has anything left to say. It was the most wonderful 43 minutes we could ask for and I’m glad we brought the show back! I just loved how the petrol guy reacted to seeing Rayna. The heart-breaking scene between Rayna and the blind older man asking her if she sings in the shower was just ah, wonderful.

Oh sweet Jesus, there’s bodies, there’s two, three.
Fill it up m’am? Can I get your autograph miss James?
They found the plane 20 miles from here.
This was the plane Juliette Barnes was flying from Los Angeles.
Are you okay, Miss James?
I’m not recording anymore because I don’t have anything to say.
I’ve worked so hard to keep my label afloat, I forgot who I am as an artist.
You know how many times I’ve been stuck and then saved by somebody who at that moment could see stuff I couldn’t see.
How do you know the words.
I listened.
Don’t care for singing?
I sing a little bit.
Yeah, in shower?
You should let yourself sing.
Why’d you say that?

10/10

The Goldbergs 4.11

The episode revolves around pervy boys tormenting a girl about boobs and the Dead Poets Society and it’s incredible! And even though we knew that Barry would become a doctor, it was revealed it in this episode, they still pretend Murray is a furniture salesman, not a doctor, but I guess that was a successful attempt at making the show be more relatable. I almost wrote a shoe salesman, as I’ve been watching Married with Children reruns every day. We haven’t had The Goldbergs in two weeks and I’m already having withdrawals!

This movie proves that a sub is the most important person in a child’s life!
Female reproductive system. And out. Class dismissed.
I used to eat lunch at school bathroom.
In that moment I finally saw how hard it was for Emmy and I knew exactly what to do.
Growing up is an awkward adventure.
I’m your big sis, that’s what I’m here for.
Beverly Goldberg believed in you this whole time.

10/10

Scream Queens 2.10

I know season two sucked and almost no one watched it, but I still sort of want season 3. I will miss seeing Jamie Lee on the small screen. And even though I can’t stand Channel, it was nice to see Emma Roberts on a weekly basis again.

Oh my god, Channels are impossible to kill. It’s like their stupidity and narcissism is a protective shield.
Hester, you should have warned us.
Collateral damage.
Survival is about being skinny, pretty and ruthless.
Rich again.
You be you, America, cause Channel Oberlin is gonna be me.

Our shows are back! What do you guys think about the new fall shows? I hated Notorious, I watched two episodes and it may be one of the most boring TV shows ever made. I think I’ll just stick with The Good Place. And I still need to see This is Us and The Exorcist!

Greys 13.01

I hated this opening episode with every fiber of my being. Karev beat DeLuca up, and was that eye injury really necessary?

2/10


Greys 13.02

Didn’t they close the Denny Duquette clinic back in season 6? When did it get reopened?

Felony in the second degree.
How do you plead, Dr Karev?
Not guilty.
Which parent is ready to hear that yes, your toddler i dead, but here’s a bill for quarter million dollars anyway.
Do you have a decent lawyer, do you need help?
You got along at the wedding.
It was a wedding, I had tequila.
She named her tumor after her ex husband’s mistress.
I was attacked, I remember.
I think I might have just threatened DeLucaa
Who is Mrs Petercan?
She doesn’t know that you’re madly in love with me.
What hear about you threatening DeLuca?
Where is Dr Alex? I want Dr Alex.
You were the big surprise. You were most improved. The person who beat up DeLuca is a person I thought you left a long time ago.
The Denny Duquette clinic?
We walked through doors as interns, we’re thrown into the deep end together, told to save lives together, to save each other, we become family.
I slept with Riggs.

10/10


Greys 13.03

What is happening to Greys?! Yawn, yawn, yawn. And why did they show us the eye surgery again? Other than that, Ben was just his perfect self yesterday. And Tucker Jones is so grown up! He looks 12 already!

Edit

After rewatching the episode, I realized it was actually really good.

It sucks but I’m fine.
Welcome back, Robbins.
Morgue. There’s not much emergencies in that job.
Excuse me?
You’re the boss.
I am a big chunk of this hospital, so technically I am.
I don’t want to go to jail.
That’s the guy you trained and raised or whatever.

SVU 18.01

I was running on reruns and holding on to the last straw. Season 18 started off with an intense Central Park scene, where Liv had to calm down a little child who pointed a gun at her and her son Noah. What a season opener. The episode went more into a terrorism side, than what the show is all about, but Olivia didn’t give in and did everything she could to help the abused Muslim woman. SVU covered recent mass shootings, while staging a Central Park shooting. Throughout the whole episode she had a lovely ‘fed up with perps’ attitude and Mariska was an absolute scene stealer. Here are some quotes I loved, you know the drill.

I am in the park with Noah.
I found him in Central Park, he had a gun.
Rita, you’re representing terrorists now.
Hell of a ride to get on.
She was raped and tortured by him and his brother.
Your job cost my son his life.
Rape or no rape she is a killer.
I am going to investigate a case that everyone wants me to ignore.
Unless you had in vitro, you had sex.
She asked you a question.
I want a lawyer.
Okay. (the way Mariska said ‘okay’)
I believe her and so does she.

9.5/10


SVU 18.02

A teenager was obsessed with Amanda and lied to please her and Amanda said it was not her fault he has a crush on her and that was the best part of the episode. A man rapes the only daughter of a woman who accused him of raping her years ago as the prison ‘made him a rapist’.

The girl was raped, beaten and stabbed.
She was pretty, like you.
Plus Detective Rollins…
I know she’s an attractive woman.
Detective Rollins flirted with you.
It’s not my fault he has a crush on me.
I was raped in prison all the time.

Shameless 7.01

Woah, season 7, what are you doing? I disliked most of the episode for the first time in the history of watching this show! It started off okay and then it got…boring! I didn’t know nurses had to wash coma patient’s genitalia, so thanks for that Shameless. I’ll tell repeat that to my best friend who’s finishing nursing school now. Another reason not to go into medicine. And I hated that Carl’s girlfriend practically bullied him into having a circumscription at 15, what the fuck. Not everyone is a jew, you know? The only thing I liked about this was that Lip will work at Fiona’s diner and I really enjoyed Debbie stealing these baby strollers and getting a nanny. I still don’t understand why Fiona got to keep her ex fiancee and boss was the one who moved away.

Holy Mother of Jesus.
It’s okay. I’ll just superglue it.
You’re thing is kinda weird.. It has all that extra skin. It freaks me out.
I could use an extra person on dishes.
Done.

The Goldbergs 4.01

When I heard The Goldbergs were doing The Breakfast Club episode, I thought it would be epic. Hell, I was expecting tears running from my eyes. I usually hate when shows act out the famous scene from this teen classic. I loved their tribute to The Goonies! And many other films, including Dirty Dancing or The Ghostbusters, etc. The only show that honored and celebrated The Breakfast Club well enough was Cougar Town a few years back.

Aww The Breakfast Club. Truly the ultimate teen movie of the 80s.
Why aren’t you moving?! Stop it! Start moving your body!I received my teaching license and I am now a substitute teacher.
See you in the halls, delicious people.
It’s just like The Breakfast Club!
I’m not the nerd!
Again, this is just like the movie.
You’re all wearing hats, like idiots.
Sincerely, The Breakfast Club.

6/10


The Goldbergs 4.02

I hope the whole season won’t be this bad. Why is Erica so obsessed with Geoff, she didn’t care about his feeling for years. I would have understood if she realized he was her soulmate, but why the sudden obsession?

Bookkeeper is not a librarian.
And most of my customers is me in different costumes.
My first professional paying gig!

How To Get Away With Murder 3.01

Frank shot Wes’s father and one of the students or Bonnie die at the end of season 3! Screaming in the woods as a form of letting go.

You get to be lawyers, responsible for your own cases.
Killer.
We’re good people now.
At least they chose a good photo.
Why are you always stalking me?
You were never normal, you just didn’t know it till now.
The five is in the bottom 10%.
When I look at you, all I see is Frank.
Who is it?

How To Get Away with Murder 3.02

I wasn’t concerned until you started talking how not concerned you are.
I did what you did. I killed a guy and I got away with it.

Transparent 3.01

Moira’s scenes at the beginning were amazing! Anything else was awful. Ali was practically sexually assaulted, but sure whatever. Every time the kids defend their mapa’s genre I feel so proud.

Told us to sign that in case we were kidnapped.
Can you change the M please?
Go fuck yourself.
Okay, I will.
She’s a woman! Her name is Moira!
His vitals.
HER vitals!
I am not doing things I could be doing.
I don’t want to die with some arrogant asshole calling me Mr Fefferman.

Younger 3.01

All this Liza Charles business is insane. I want them to get together. I doubt he’d care that she’s 40. So she lied, everyone lies about their age. I never saw the Liza/Josh connection. Homeless man in the wedding dress, though! Excellent.

Charles kissed me in the man’s department.
The sales who picked it out…
That’s for fat people.
You want a tour?
Sure.
This is were I sit. This is where I sleep.
It was just a kiss, Liza. Let it go.

American Horror Story 6.02

Anyone actually enjoying this season? For me it’s boredom. Remember how good the first 4 seasons were? I miss Jessica Lange every time I watch this show.

Percilla. The little girl with weird clothes.
Do you see her?
I see her.
Is that the same guy you saw in the video?

5.5/10


American Horror Story 6.03

Inbred hillbillies drinking pig’s milk and then masturbated while OJ Simpson had unconscious sex with Lady Gaga. Yeah, it’s finally getting fucked up. Doll with pig’s head and other cute gory things equally on point.

Your daughter is with Perscilla.
There can never be a friendship between dead and the living.
You were screwing this woman against the tree while these hillbillies watched.

Scream Queens 2.01

I guess now we all know why they invited Uncle Jesse to the show. Yes, my favorite scene was the one where Emma Roberts took her clothes off the minute she saw John Stamos naked. I also enjoyed that a Netflix documentary exonerated the Channels. And we all know people who went to med school even though they didn’t study enough and then there are people who really should be doctors and had to retake their exams even though they were much higher than the rich ones the first time. Don’t even get me started with online med schools and doctors who can’t diagnose the simplest things and check everything online while you’re asking them questions. Is everyone else loving Kristie Ally in this as much as I am?!

That Netflix documentary that exonerated us.
Shut up, number 5!
Turns out, I love blood! Looove it!
Turns out I’m really good at poking people!
Oh my god, thank you, right?!
Uhm, let’s go over what’s expected of you.

Scream Queens 2.02

So bad it hurt at times.

Have you graduated high shool to become a detective?
I haven’t been man handled in 2 years.

Hi guys, this is my 300th post, enjoy!

Greys 12.24

Still crying over Calzona never happening. There may have been warnings, but it’s still unbelievably hard to let go of a character you love. We deserved so much more. I hate that we didn’t get an appropriate closure with Callie. But most of all, I’m mad she left! Tremendously sad and angry about all this. Very happy about Benjamin cutting Kepner’s baby out on Meredith’s kitchen table. According to my notes this episode was 24/10, so that says something. I always download every single song featured on Greys, so I am currently obsessed with that new Rihanna song.
Can’t expect her to be Cristina.
I’ve had the love of my life.
Who? Izzie?
I am sober!
You’ve no idea how many people have locked themselves in that bathroom.
Stuff your feelings in!
Mer and I, the two of us, we’ve been through hell.
He left her to me and she left you to me.
Derek was supposed to walk me down the isle. He walked every one of my sister to the isle.
Nothing’s wrong with Owen.
He could use some sun.
I presented you with a menu of options and you chose to run.
Who has that twice?
Okay, can’t think of anyone.
Richard Webber.
Thank you!
He doesn’t even know my real name.
Poor guy, he loved me so much.
You showed superb technique. You saved two lives today.
I’m saying let’s all be happy.

10/10

SVU 17.20

This is one of the most common cases. I have friends who got into the modeling industry and quit just as quick as they were discovered after seeing their fellow friends go through this.

I didn’t want him to do that.
She took pictures of the rape.
Rape?
Yes, rape.
I warned her about this creep.
That bruise wasn’t there last night.
Is this art or porn?
Is that the camera you used during the shoot?
Sally didn’t want what he did to her.
This woman sets up models to be raped.
She looks terrified!
He doesn’t ask, he takes.
That story has a happy ending, she’s pimping for him now.
When I stimulated violence, she got off on it.

10/10

SVU 17.21

Another wonderful episode. SVU takes down every Bachelerotte-like reality series. Olivia and Fin’s reactions to Amanda and Carissi eating dinner together were priceless.

Who actually watches this show?
Wait, I don’t remember any of this.
Did you see what I just saw?
Did they just air rape?
Did Ryan rape me?!
That could be rape.
They said it wasn’t.
She signed a waver.
So I’m not a virgin anymore?
This girl didn’t realize she was raped until she saw it on live TV?
I got an STD from the rape!
He put it in her only for a couple seconds.

10/10

The Good Wife 7.22

The disappointing finale. Alicia messed up her relationships with everyone, to yet again, save Peter. I am only happy they brought Will back. What’s with Sutton Foster’s extremely short cameo?

Look at me, do I look like I’m breaking down?
It’s a ringtone. It’s a freaking ringtone.
Someone else’s she was using her cell to call 911.
You were always drunk, loling around.
Good to see you again.
Again, where was I?
It’s good to see people find their purpose.
Grace said she’s gonna drop out of college to visit you in prison.

10/10

Castle 8.20

Funny as always.

I grew up here, experimenting with costumes, makeup.
These fine gentlemen are constables.
Richard Castle is leading the case with the help from NYPD.
Mother?!
Richard!?
His yolo credit card, if he passes a gas station.
Ricardo.
Typy, typy, typy.

7/10

Nashville 4.20

Where was Candace when they were shooting The View part!? Elton John played on Nashville, and Nashville still got cancelled.

She’s everything. Without her music doesn’t mean anything. Nothing means anything.
I can’t. It hurts too much.

I know I haven’t been posting film reviews recently, but I still can’t catch up on all the TV shows I watch, and I’m always behind in posting my points on them. I still have 2 episodes of Bates Motel to watch and 4 episodes of When Calls the Heart and yesterday’s Castle. I will post all the film reviews during summer, just like last year. I promise not to start any new shows. Who’s excited for Bones, Scream, OITNB and Grace and Frankie coming very soon? We may say goodbye to Castle, Grandfathered and The Family, just so you’re ready.

SVU 17.18

It’s so weird seeing SVU without Liv, it’s almost as hard as in season 8. Finally more Kelli Giddish, I’ve missed her this season.

I write by hand.
A teenager?
Another priest. Are you kidding me?
Then he raped her. And when he was done he shot her anyway.
Sister Nina was raped and shot point blank.
On the floor you dirty bitch.
My father is ready to throw you under the bus.
Oh yeah are you driving it?
They’d touch us in what they called Godly manner.

4.5/10

SVU 17.19

Amanda’s in love with Carissi and best episode in a while.

Carissi volunteered.
He’ll tell me.
I don’t think he would.
You did exactly what you needed to do. You survived.
Yes, we are aware there’s a section for sex offenders.
She’ll do it.
Food sucks.
He goes for younger girls.
That’s a wonderful argument.
He likes donut holes.
I had to tell everybody what a thrill I get looking at child porn.
He’s a target inside and outside the shelter.
The therapist? Carissi’s group.
I wouldn’t touch that he doesn’t change…I can see that thank you
What are those keys to?
The voice that’s the voice.
They have a special section for sex offenders. You can see them listed online.
I thought we put you away for good.

9/10

Shameless 6.11

Can you fucking believe that?
No I can’t.
Here’s a lesson, use condoms.
He has AIDS.
Save that twenty for Peruvian mangoes.
Oh you have no money and you’re going to a grocery store.
Did I mention she is underage?
If you don’t like it, there’s a door over there and here’s another one.
It’s not begging Liam money, It’s selling Liam money.
You were doing so great, you almost pulled it off and you had to fuck it all up again.

10/10

Shameless 6.12

Ian is Monica and Lip is Frank? Who would have thought Lip will develop a drinking problem so soon? I know he’s been drinking since he was a kid, but It never seemed like a problem, until that slutty professor left him. The only Gallagher who was determined enough and smart enough to go places. An he went…to a rehab facility. I am not happy with this. If Ian is bipolar and Lip is an alcoholic, where does that leave the rest of Gallaghers? Debs is a 15 year old mother for starters. And little Frannie made it 3 days without someone dropping her on her head. Over this past year Shameless has developed into something we cringe while watching, but yet still want to see. I can’t believe Sean was taking this whole time, after he told Fiona he shoot up a few months ago. Where is she going to work now?

Someone pissed in my boots.
I’m not going back, got expelled.
It’s not like any of you deadbeats finished high school.
He’s a junkie through and through, I’m surproised we’re not friends, we have so much in common.
Lip drinks to breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Ian’s a bipolar queer.
Debbie’s 15 with a baby.
Frank said you drink too much. I don’t want you to end up like Frank.
First week will be tough.

Younger 2.12

Extremely disappointed with this finale.

You seem more fake now than when you were pretending to be 26.

When Calls the Heart 3.02

There’s not a cuter show than this one.

I could use a little ‘You’re stong. You can do that.’
I’m a teacher, time for a lesson.
But Hope Valley does not need a theatre right now.
There will come a day I’ll bulid you the biggest theatre on this side.

The Simpsons 27.15

While dozens of unheroic onlookers just stood around.

5/10

The Simpsons 27.16

It’s free. Cheaper than college.
Moms spend their whole lives obsessing over unlikely catastrophes. In space, that’s what you’re supposed to do.

5.5/10

The Simpsons 27.18

Downtown song + Downton Abbey, what more can we want?

Shut up, idiot.
Ice cream! Come back, don’t make me jog.
A husband who rarely shows up to work.
A son that is headed for the chair.

6/10

Scandal 5.13

Free college is a dream. Great job, Shonda. Every single character on this show wants to be the president.

I didn’t see you there, little Cyrus Bean.
We’re fixers, not detectives.
He said that I could be the president one day.
He looked up and saw his dad with some woman he didn’t know.
I think she’s gonna go to college one day and it’s gonna be free.

9.5/10

Scandal 5.14

Abby taking what’s hers.

I also didn’t know he was a government trained assassin.
Why do you hate us?
It wasn’t him.
Fire him, hire me.
Quinn, have you ever killed anyone?
I think that’s enough sharing for today.

6/10

Scandal 5.15

Amaro from SVU just joined the cast as Carlos Solis’s brother! Every time Elizabeth calls Susan a Muppet is a gift.

And somehow I think she’d make a great candidate.
It’s about time we had our first woman president.
The Mellie who takes off her shoes and eats a protein bar.
She’s a Muppet!

10/10

Scandal 5.17

Why would Elizabeth have to pay 5 million? Olivia feels she’s so better than Abby and she holds her past against her. Holy shit, Olivia killed him.

False alarm, I was wrong, she was not pregnant.
No you never speak Spanish, to anyone.
Cyrus has immunity.
I’m still a member of this distinguish club.
My fair share, 1 dollar.
I own that place.
Who did this to you?
I don’t work for you, you work for me.
You are no longer welcome here without my permission.
Jake, I need to get into the White House.
It’s gonna be okay, I promise.
Never cross me again.
Welcome home.

6.5/10

The Good Wife 7.16

Eli fighting for the bathroom with all the handicapped people to listen in on the trail, amazing. I’ll miss Eli and Alicia’s mother and brother the most.

It is Sunday, right?
So why isn’t anybody at church?
It’s illegal for me to listen, but not for you.
What’s Eli doing?

8.5/10

The Good Wife 7.18

This is a high profile, very visible space. Clients get a good look at your work ethic.
And who am I getting evicted for?
Peter, you’re always being endorsed.
I need a lawyer.

10/10

Bates Motel 4.01

We’ve waited so long for this show to come back and here it is. Norma offered to sleep with Ramero, just to help her psychotic son? Norman killed again, this time full on Norma.

I don’t ever want to be separated from you again.
I killed Bradley Martin, hit her head on a rock.
Mother, why’d you lock the doors!?
So I thought maybe you could marry me. I know you’re attracted to me, I’ll sleep with you.

9.5/10

Bates Motel 4.02

Norma is genuinly afraid of Norman, this episode focused on that and show to what extent. Norman took her gun and she took scissors with her.

Just looking into freezer, why?
What are all these animals doing out?
I know you had her in the freezer.
Are you afraid of being alone with him?
If you’re scared you have to let me know.
I’m marrying his mother.
I’l marry you, if you still want me to.
The motel office.
Oh crap, crap!
I didn’t go to college, but I guess that’s obvious.
What are you hiding behind your back?

6.5/10

Nashville 4.11

I’m so glad you let us sign them!
Don’t do that thing when you convince yourself you don’t deserve happiness.
He wasn’t alone on the roof. Juliet was going to jump and he saved her. But when he did, he fell.
From the first moment I saw you, I knew.
You were the one that almost got away.
I want you to get me Avery Barkley.

Nashville 4.12

I am honestly so excited for Lila’s new songs!

I’m excited for this. You’all working together.
Why don’t we go ahead and start your second record.
Colt and I went all the way.
You are so much more mature than you think, Maddie.
I have my own version of a messy life.

Thirteen 1.03

The address is right, but it’s for Alison.
That’s what he called me.
He has a half brother.
Can we play snake?
I wish, it doesn’t have it.
Show me, I feel left behind.
I need an excursion team here.

9/10

Thirteen 1.04

He’s been down in cellar for 7 years.
Meaning he’s been down there with her.
Year three of your captivity.
His body was found behind a cellar wall.
Maybe even lived down there with you.
DNA was found. Ivy’s DNA.
One time Dylan was in charge, so he let me out.
I nearly made it.
He was my friend.
If I hadn’t run Dylan would still be alive.
I wasn’t meant to say, it was just for us.
Everything has to be proper. Proper is 16.
What mental age did he seem?
All those days we spent apart. Thousands of them. I don’t know what you did or who you met or how you lived. I wish I did, but I don’t.

9.5/10

The Family 1.05

Apparently the ratings are really bad 2 or 3 million on ABC, which is pretty much a disaster.

He called it the good boy list.
Adam should be on the field at 5.
I got the results back, it’s not him.

5.5/10

The Family 1.06

OMG! Ben is the boy that sat there even longer than Adam!

Being alone changes you. Other voices dissapear until you can only hear your own.
Milo – 76 Ibs.
Google me.
But my son had his appendix out when he was 5.
Adam? Ben?
What did you do?!
Who’s that?
A friend.
Lucky for me, I was never alone.

7.5/10

The Family 1.07

Wouldn’t it be better if this all was revealed in the season finale? I get what she was trying to do, but that’s disrespectful for Adam, like his death didn’t mean anything. Like the other boy didn’t exist? Like he was replaceble.

He was there with him, for 10 years.
He helped him, he knew him.
He made Adam’s life bareable.
Your son is dead.
What does he do?
Don’t worry, I’ll get you a new friend.
Are you Willa?
I’m Ben.
He died last week.
Adam is right handed.
But now I can fix everything.
In loving memory of Adam.
I’m glad you didn’t listen to me.

9/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.19

Even I jumped when zombie Jessica suddenly reappeared. It’s so good to see Ezra in it with them again.

Pick a topic.
When we finally got out of here, it was so fast, we didn’t really realize what we left behind.
I’m saying it’s happening again.Leave my friends alone. I killed Charlotte.

Hi guys, welcome back after Easter. My new 8 month old laptop died, which means I will have so much more time to post this week, as I won’t be busy watching films. Here are some reviews.

Greys 12.12

I am so happy they didnt kill Mer’s first patient. I was scared theoughout the whole episode that that was gonna happen. Her death would ruin the pilot we love so much. It would mess with the past and make us feel like there is no point in leaving since something we believed for 11 years now would have changed. There is no messing with the past. It’s our holy ground and I’m hlad Shonda gets it.

Someone said that. Wait that was me.
Guys, this room is full of dead people, show some respect.
She was my first patient.
They still let you be a doctor here?
She was a trainwreck.
So he thinks you should have been on that helicopter.
I work in peds. I figured it out.
You’re all grown up now.
So are you.
What happened to the other Dr Shepherd?
That’s a long story.

10/10

The Family 1.01

A new show from one of Shonda Rhimes’s writers about a boy who was kidnapped 10 years ago and his sudden reapearance.

Who are you?
I’m him.
They found that boy who was murdered 10 years ago.
The man is a sex offender.
Hi dad.
Hi, chief.
The man who was laying on top of me.
Why didnt you just run?
I did run. The first chance I got.
When was that?
Yesterday.
Maybe it was the decade of rape and torture.
Red dragon, he was breathing fire, right at me.
And all the other Adams who are still out there.
He doesn’t exist.

10/10

SVU 17.17

After 17 years at SVU Olivia got kicked out. What are you guys thinking of Olivia and Tucker?

There is no way that girl is 18.
Underage girls are being raped and trafficked.
They’re not cops, they’re rapists.
They forced me into a room and took turns raping me.
He’s raping 16 year olds while supposedly undercover.
So you don’t mention that you two are sleeping together.
He had everyone at SVU in kuffs.
I’m out. That is it. You’re dismissed.

10/10

The Middle 7.17

I still don’t understand why everyone has their wisdom teeth removed.

Think of it like Downton Abbey and I’m one of the basement people.
We fight this the way we fought that healthy snack thing.
This is the year of Sue 2.0.
You’re a Heck. Disapointment is your birth right.
Frab some napkins, we’re out of toilet paper.
Sue, are you crying?
Axl gave me a fork.
Sometimes you think you get an Elvis, but end up with an eagle. And thats okay. Eagles are great too.

5/10

Shameless 6.10

Weakest episode especially for a birth episode. Who else cried when they heard Debbie has named her daughter Frances?

Law, motherfucker.
I think I wanna be a cop.
And then I get a for asking me if I ever have been hospitalized.
Frances after her grandfather.
Frank?!

4/10

When Calls the Heart 3.01

As long as we’re no longer in Hamilton, I’m good.

I’m your new partner.

4/10

How to Get Away With Murder 2.13

Annalise’s gay ex-lover is the only reason the show is still watchable.

There’s not a day that I don’t lie to my clients.
Clients are some of the stupidest people you’ll meet.
Please tell me you just got fat.
Stop blaming me for your loneliness.
Call 911. There’s someone in Wes’s apartment.

8/10

Younger 2.12

What’s with a super weak finale?

You seem more fake now than when you were acting like you’re 26.

3/10

Grandfathered 1.19

This show certainly does not want to go out with a bang.

Cough syrup with codaine.
Replace it with pictures of handsome guys.
Movie selection process.
What’s the one thing none of them have?
A college degree.

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!

At the pictures 10 times a month. I rate films within genre. I watch all interesting titles about to expire on Netflix and HBO Go. I’m nostalgic and reminisce a lot. Over the years I’ve seen 140 TV Shows.

26. Polish-British and proud of both of my citizenships.

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)
