Grey’s Anatomy 13.10

Our favourite show is back from holidays and it doesn’t exactly pick up where we left off. Bailey, Arizona and Jo visit a women prison and we don’t learn anything more than we knew 2 months ago. The episode itself feels like a poorly made stand-alone straight to DVD film that maybe only Lifetime would show. It’s also the first episode where Meredith isn’t present, Ellen voices it over but the lack of Meredith is easily noticeable, saddening and frustrating. One of the few things worth mentioning is the Orange is the New Black reference. The inmate’s mother did not want to see her granddaughter’s birth. That scene brought tears to my eyes. I did end up crying for 20 minutes, but that doesn’t change the fact that we could have actually learnt something more about the characters, but instead we wasted our time.

In Orange, they strip Search.
No one intends to end up here.
I have a prosthetic leg.
Totally normal, don’t engage.
Murder, gangs.
Which one’s she?
Just another patient?
How about focusing your attention on keeping your k10 client from killing us.
I once helped a guy I liked rob a convenience store.
Stars, they are just like us.
Dr Bailey.
That’s chief Bailey.
I hate people.

5.5/10

Bones 12.01

What an episode! I will miss this show dearly.

They can still be somewhere in the Jeffersonian.
Call Booth, I’ve got her.
He’s in the basement.
I had nightmares because of evidence indicating Zack.
Dr Brennan.
I should have been kidnapped more often.
He was receiving regular visits from an associate of yours Dr Sweets.
But when Doctor Sweets was murdered Zack had trouble processing.
Communicating with someone of lower intellect.
I’ve been reading Dr Brennan’s email.
So I can keep up to date with all my friends and colleagues.
Dr Brennan, Hodgins, Angela and Doctor Saroyan.
Agent Booth and I are not friends.
What’s that untitled folder?
Zack is the one who’s going to make it so Hodgins can walk.
What do you mean Bones is gone.
I want to find out why she left.
The evidence is conclusive, he’s guilty.
Maybe your gut needs a probiotic.
What are you saying, you didn’t think he was guilty the first time with the lobbyist.
Stay away from me.
Conjoined twins.
After being separated from his other half, the killer must have adopted his dead twin’s personality.
I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t kill him.
It’s his legs, he’s lost his feeling. And it’s probably for good this time.
I nNever killed The the lobbyist.
I believe you.

10/10

Bones 12.02

Brennan turned 40 and I’m feeling old. Max is doing chemo or something and I really don’t think Max’s possible death in the last episode is necessary.

I’m re-examining the evidence from the lobbyist’s murder.
This is a big one, you’re turning 40.
Could you give us a hint on a dress code?
Yes, wearing clothes would be advisable.
Let go of my clippers.
Is it as bad as I think it is?
Doctor Brennan appears to be 78% curious and 22% jealous.
Agent booths is 94% amused and 6% sceptical.
Dr Hodgins or should I say Peter Pan?
Hey, perverts!
I’m the one who recommended her.
And I also nominated Angela.
Grandpa, you dropped this.
Happy Birthday!

6.5/ 10

The Middle 8.12

One of the weaker episode, but still very good, plus they sang Kelly Clarkson’s ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’. Cindy, the one who always wears a Safari hat is into fashion. Nothing funnier.

Brad, what am I thinking.
I hope you’re thinking I should come with you to no-cut acapella.
Career expo and job fair.
I’m not really into books, that I’m into fashion.
I can take over the diaper because that enter.
Did we not tell him?
Here’s the thing Axl you haven’t been around a lot, I sold the diaper business.
Life is gonna kick you around a lot. So you may not wanna tear off all your clothes and flap around on the floor every time you hit a set back. Things kinda have a way of working out.
She gave me the finger, she loved it!
They’ve found their sweet spot early.

How to get away with murder 3.10

I love Bonnie, but they need to bring Eve back to represent Annalise.

Eve would be a conflict of interest.
The baby is Wes’s.
I just got back from therapy.
I thought why can’t this queen defend me?
We are bad people.
About the murder of Wes Gibbins. I did it.

5.5/10

Nashville 5.03

Maddie becomes an intern at Highway 65. Child actress Bridgit Mendler joins the cast.

It’s like what Britney Spears used to do.
It’s not like she’s Taylor Swift.

2.5 / 10

Nashville 5.04

At least Scarlett called Rayna her family. his season started off intriguing and turned into a drag. I really wish they could bring Lyla back.

You have FOMO –  fear of missing out.

3. 5 / 10

Scandal 6.01

You know Shonda wrote this episode when the freshly elected president gets shot and killed. It was an icredible episode that made me want to rewatch the entire series.

It’s over, you lost.
Vice president Cyrus Bean.
I voted for him.
Legally, the next presidency is wide open.
Practically, the next president of the United States is who you say it is.
He paid an assassin to shoot Frank Vargas.
I think Cyrus might have had something to do with it.
That could’ve been me.
Mary would make an exceptional president.
Because the other choice just tried to kill his way into the Oval
Fitz, I want it. I do want it.
He murdered his way into the White House you’re doing nothing about him
Been like this since she got here.
Doctors say he’s in shock.
I don’t want to fix another election.
I’m handing you America take care of it.
Good luck sign.
You want to murder her or marry her?
It was Cyrus Bean, who killed President Vargas.
You son of a bitch, I know you killed him and I’m going to prove it.

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.

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.

Sorry I haven’t been posting, I’ve been joggling 3 jobs – over 80 hours at the moment and I haven’t had time to watch nearly enough. I still have 2 Orange is the New Black episodes to watch and every other year I watched all 13 episodes in 1 day. I haven’t had time to watch the finale of Castle, any of the new Bones episodes,  SVU, Scandal and Bates Motel and When Calls the Heart season finales and wouldn’t be surprised if there were more. I also haven’t seen the last 2 Scream episodes which very unlike me since last year I literally counted down hours every week. I started watching Weeds and the first 3 seasons were worth-watching and then it all went downhill from there.

Congrats to Nashville on being brought back!
Shameless will be back in October not January!
Congrats to Younger on season 4!

Nashville 4.21

A beautiful finale. I knew they would pull a sexual assault storyline to get Maddie back and I am satisfied with how that went. Honestly, I couldn’t watch the finale before I knew the show was okay, and it is! Nashville has been brought back to life!

When I was her age he pretty muvh tried to force himself on me.
He pushed me on the couch.
That’s what happens, hun. And nothing actually happened, right?
Di you see what your mother wrote?
I was trying to commit suicide.
Did you touch my daughter? What about my life?

10/10

Scandal 5.20

I am relieved Susan chose to step down. She was the weak link. Are they planning to make her vice president to Mellie Grant? Two women in the office? How does Ronan still scare and push everyone around?

He’s a rapist.
His numbers went up!?
Classy piece of ass that lady.
Their filthy, inbreed hands. Country people.
That republican should be Mellie Grant.
Abby, he doesn’t know. No one knows.
Tell Liv I need help. Tell her I need to escape. Tell her I’m chasing the sun.

10/10

Scream 2.01

Scream is finally back! Very glad about this as it’s one of two shows that I will actually follow this summer, and this one is much better. My dad always says that no one can blame you for killing someone who was wearing a mask. You were scared and no one can prove you weren’t doing anything in your power to save your life. That’s what happened to Audrey. I am glad Jake got killed as he was extremely annoying. Episode 2, I am ready.

Get out of the booth, you idiot. We’re closed.
It was a prank!
Desperate act of defense wins.
You’re one of the Lakewood six.
You’re one of the survivor girls.
Sleep is overrated.
Noah’s got a little crush.
Just like Nightmare on Elm Street.
Ignoring anything is sure death.
See what you can do with this, boy interrupted.
I know what you did last summer, get it?
We shot her. That movie is over.
People call me the final girl, but we’re all final girls.
Everyone has a way they deal with what happened.
What’s this?

10/10

Scream 2.02

This show is nicely addictive. Episodes remain at the similar level of intrigue at all times. I am taunted to watch the two new episodes on my laptop, but it’s just much better to watch Netflix on a big screen unless you really have no time before something expires.

He had pictures of me as a kid!
Why does he have all those pictures of me on the wall?
Technically, there’s only 5 of us at the moment.Bi-curious and a virgin out of their retirement.
Noah named you. I just ranked you.
See how I finished the job for you, Audrey?

7.5/10

The Catch 1.08

She’s beautiful, she’s smart, she doesn’t trust anyone or anything.
That he is the man I fell in love with and it’s just those other people.~
And I wouldn’t have wasted a year of my life.
What if he’s the love of my life?
I think the love of your life is always the love you can’t have.
Is that all this is? Me wanting what I can’t have?
I choose you.

3.5/10

The Catch 1.09

Ms Patmore flew from the UK! why you found this in Downton Abbey category) Why is she assuming Alice doesn’t know about the necklace?

He never loved her
She  stopped that must be the place.
Prison Break.

5.5/10

The Catch 1.10

Ms Patmore back at it pretending to be a cook. The final scene of the season was surprisingly interesting. Mireille’s hair though always on point in this show, stole everyone’s focus in this episode.

I stole the painting. My name is Benjamin Jones, I stole from her and her clients. Let her go and take me.

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 finished watching American Crime Story last week, and the only exasperating thing was the fact that Marcia was raped on a trip to Israel, not Italy, but I guess Italy seemed like a safer option. Comedy Central has stopped showing Everybody Loves Raymond reruns, even though they never showed seasons 5-9, I wanted to watch the first four since I never saw it as a whole. I still have Castle to catch up with, but obviously I am postponing it as I don’t want it to end. I still have 6 episodes of Bones to watch that I’m saving for when all other shows end this week, 3 episodes of Scandal, and I haven’t even started second season of Grace and Frankie. I also hope Awkward gets renewed, even though second half of season 5 was awful, but who made them base the whole half season in summer? It would have better if they showed them in college, who cares that they’re all in different ones.

SVU 17.22

Weak first half of the finale. The previous two were absolutely perfect. Robert Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond is still a NYPD cop, just now he rapes too. I am aware of a possible death in the finale and I’m afraid to think who could that be.

I’m gonna be a grandpa?
Cry all you want, you’re just a broke, black crack-whore.
So called victims.
Someone just threatened to kill me.

3/10

Bates Motel 4.08

I’ll always remember that you helped my mom at a time when she was so confused and vulnerable.
We as in? Is this how it’s going to be from now on?
I couldn’t breathe without you.
I understand the bond between us, the cord.

5/10

Bates Motel 4.09

I hated this episode, because I truly believed they’d bring Norma back. Gas poisoning was not how how Norma died in the Psycho franchise, so I thought she’d be okay. I thought the show would end with Norma’s death, so I wasn’t prepared as I was sure we’ll still have one more year. Dylan fought with Norma before her death and now he’ll feel guilty. I’m just hoping he’ll be back for season 6, and him and Emma were not just written off the show. I am afraid to watch the finale, as Norman is stuffing Norma’s body and I would be okay with it, if he wasn’t stuffing a character I’ve loved for the last 4 years.

Yeah, well, are you dead?
Norma, wake up!
Mother?

4/10

The Middle 7.22

What a lovely season finale. I cried when Frankie said Axl was finally growing up and when Brick sang and when Frankie told Sue to have a great summer.

Axl being Axl scored the cushiest job of all time.
How about peaked in high school.
I hate drama, I mean, I love drama, but the good kind.
Who knows maybe that’s why he stopped getting taller.
All that height and you accomplish nothing.
You may think you’re cool, but you’re not. At the end of the day, you’re just a guy who missed out on a lot of fun stuff.
I guess it took the 10 year old version of him to brung it out in him.
Yep, my boy was finally growing up.
I need to speak with the principal, so get her or him.
And we’ve only just began.
Have a great summer.
You fought for me.
I would have just quit.
It is in your genes.
Take care of your brother.
Axl met the love of his life, but that’s a story for another day.

10/10

Nashville 4.19

The show is getting worse with each episode and I hoped they’d give us a nice goodbye. I downloaded Rayna’s song the minute the episode ended. I was so happy when I saw Juliette sent Glenn to protect Maddie. Pretty shocked about Maddie using Rayna’s last name as her stage name, but I guess it’s understandable.

I just wanna have a breakdown.
To hell with looking for that silver lightning.
Someone’s giving her some really bad advice.
She calls him his good luck charm.
Rayna always wanted to sing.
Maddie James?
And suddenly she’s using my last name?

Castle 5.19

A case about a guy who just kept returning to the living.

We become normal.
No Castle, you will never be normal.
If I were an expert on character, which I am.
Why the hell won’t you die!?
As long as I’m with you, I’ll go anywhere.

Faking It 3.10

I didn’t know Amy and Karma were supposed to end up together! The show’s creator tweeted that they would have dated for half of last season. And let’s be honest Karmy was the only reason I got into the show. And now what? Everyone is with someone they weren’t even supposed to date and the show was cancelled. I really hope it gets picked up by Netflix or some other company. The series finale was completely dreadful, just like this half season was.

With Sabrina I could have…
What I couldn’t give you.
I thought you killed her.
Lying about my sexuality made me see the truth.

The Simpsons 27.22

I am glad at least the finale was funny with couch manual and Marge ending up in jail. Chief Wiggum not understanding Rulf was his son Ralph was a nice touch, especially for the finale.

Starts stupid, ends stupid.
Silvester Alone.
Marge, you’re being arrested?!
Incarcerate Marge Simpson’s mother!
I could have married a woman who didn’t look exactly like me, but that would’ve been crazy.
Your husband never filed Bart’s birth certificate. Bart isn’t legally your son.
All kids are accounted for except Rulf Wiggum. Oh, busy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Thank you all for saying you like longer reviews, no worries, that’s what I’m here for. A friend asked me this week why was Lost called Lost not Stranded, and I may have my suspicion, but Stranded, longer in name and harder to pronounce does seem like a better fit. Why isn’t Lost on Netflix though? I miss it every day. Speaking of Netflix, lots of Disney and Pixar films expire this week, 76 titles in the UK. Even though some of them were added a couple of days ago like Heavyweights, look into it and choose your titles, I will definitely be watching a few for example the original The Parent Trap.

Greys 12.20

A gun control episode. Two young boys play with a gun one’s mother kept in her house. When it comes to our beloved characters…Why is Callie being so stupid? Why is she changing her life for someone she’s been dating for 6 months? I know the timeframe is a little off, because of Meredith’s leave.p How dare she ask Karev to support her in the custody battle when Arizona is Alex’s menthor and best friend? It looks like Meredith will stand with Callie which really upsets me. Let’s see. Arizona: Richard, April, Alex, Bailey? I think Bailey, cause she did not like Callie’s decision to leave Grey Sloan (I just wrote Seattle Grace, hah miss those days) Callie: Meredith, and I’m guessing… Avery, Owen and the residents? I know that Callie is Sophia’s biological mother, but I really hope Arizona wins.

I just sent something really dirty to Meredith Grey.
You’re a very classy lady.
Oh yeah I got it good.
I wouldn’t, I’m classy, remember?
Family messes you up.
It’s better than lonely and crazy like me.
Or having sex with your phone in resident lounge.
You’re giving up your career to chase tail-girl.
I lived in my car when I was 16.

The Middle 7.20

A great episode, even though Sue wasn’t her joyful self, Sue and Frankie were arguing and Frankie and Mike got drunk. I know how Sue feels, hell, I was a vegan for 4 years and I’ve been a vegetarian for 8 years. I know how it feels to want to save the world. But now I understand that me not eating cheese will not save the world and I must not make my life harder because of my beliefs. I’m happy being a vegetarian, and ex vegan. I still don’t eat eggs, as I find it inhuman. It’s not my battle. You win some, you lose some, but pick a reasonable goal. I realized, after 4 years of being vegan, that what pushed me even further was everyone being impressed with my will power. Sure some people were calling me stupid, but most of them were cheering me on and being interested in how I’m doing. But when I went to college, I realized it doesn’t matter, and no one really cares anyway. When it comes to health, let me tell you, yes, I was feeling so much better than now. I was much thinner too. And honestly If I wasn’t such sucker for cheese, I would still be a vegan. Now back to the show I only started watching last December, but fell in love completely. Frankie never fails to be just like us, in this episode getting a snickers bar at Home Depot, I may have done that at Ikea, so you know. I hope Brick marries Cindy, cause they’re just equally weird and I think their marriage would work. This episode Brick gets overboard when he gets an email from an online store asking for his opinion. He spends the whole afternoon writing a review. It’s just like me and this blog, but I genuinely love it. I love the Hecks, and honestly they are just like my family, but not ever vacuuming is just gross. Who else loved that Christmas Carol reference? This show literally makes me reconsider not wanting to have kids and not wanting to work in a primary school. Not Full House, not Parenthood, not other show ever did this to me, but The Middle. It seems like it’s lovely to have someone depend on you and it’s good to be surrounded by someone who is still hopeful. I know three people who became primary school teachers, and honestly I always thought working with kids would be annoying, and I always laughed at teachers for being stuck at school, while kids move on, but I don’t know anymore. I would be good as a school counselor or school psychologist. Not in high school though, cause in high school everyone hates the counselor. I may reconsider this as plan Z or something.

What? I was just at Home Depot getting a snickers bar.
Marry Cindy, I mean it.
Do you ever vacuum?
Do you?
You just need to kick back, relax and enjoy a movie with too many white people in it.
I want my Sue back, happy Sue, sweet Sue.
I’m your ghost of future Christmas.
I gave this paper 9 stars for quality!?
Stranger danger!
I wiped his butt until he was 6. He couldn’t get it at all.
I was happy when I was driving everybody. Those three idiots in the back. I knew everything was okay, cause I was driving and I had it. I had everybody.
I’m just gonna end up like you anyway.

Bates Motel 4.03

Norma and Ramero finally got married! Of course Norman just got Norma in trouble and gave them a reason to suspect there’s people gone missing.

I’m an easy roommate, I work a lot.
Oh my God, someone married you?
She’s the most wonderful person in the world.
That people have died.
I have a reason to believe my mother is insane and is killing people.

9.5/10

Bates Motel 4.04

Oh great, now Norman is pretending to be a bulimic, a little too much Bates writers? Should they be downgrading eating disorders like this? Norman treating the orderly guy like a moron is probably the highlight of the episode, this and Norma smiling at Ramero. Norma made out with a stripper, who knows why was this a thing?

You obviously have no idea what is going on in this place.
Okay, thank you, well done, but no, bad idea.
I’m gonna tell about my feelings in group.
My mother, did she kill anybody?
Like we finally saw each other one day.

7.5/10

Bates Motel 4.05

Weakest episode of the season, but we’re finally talking about Norma’s relationship with her brother. Everyone go watch the Season 4 Catch Up Special, it’s 18 minutes long, very well detailed and absolutely amazing! It has many great scenes, like Norma’s rape in the pilot, Dylan finding out Norma’s brother is his dad and many more! It’s definitely the best Catch Up special out there.

Your brother, that explains everything.
You said that Caleb was your brother, when Caleb introduced himself as Dylan’s father.
Because you slept with your brother or are you ashamed because he raped you? Or are you ashamed, cause you loved him?

3/10

Bates Motel 4.06

Episode of the season, and one of 5 best Bates episodes and we finally learn the truth about Norma’s relationship with her brother! And on top off all that, it’s confirmed that Norman’s father raped Norma when she wasn’t ‘behaving’ or he was drunk, and during at least one of these occasions, Norman was in the room witnessing the rape. This episode was absolutely painful, but beautiful and Norma’s monologue at the end was outstanding!

Actually, she’s charming.
You can’t share with the people you love that you had sex with your brother.
You’re like genuinely sweet.
Fine, I slept with my brother.
Do you think it was your fault?
How much older was he than you?
Four years.
If that information came out, that you had a son with your brother?
He wasn’t nice to Norma, or me or you.
I don’t want him to remember those things.
You never know what you’re capable of until you test it.
Break the woman in half? I am not broken. I am still standing. So go ahead, do your best.
When I was a teenager – it was a long time ago – um… I slept with my brother. I’m sorry. God, I’m sorry to have to tell you this. Oh, it’s horrible. I’m sorry. He’s Dylan’s father. Norma, you were young. It was a mistake. Mistake? It was not a mistake. It was a way of life. It happened for years. I loved him. Our home life was a torture, and we were all we had. I finally tried to stop it, and he got really upset and he raped me. You know how horrible it is to be raped by someone you love? And I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. But I don’t hate him enough to hurt him. And it’s a mess because I don’t know if part of why I hate Caleb so much is because I hate myself. So now you know who you’re married to. And I should have told you before, but I’ve never loved anyone enough to feel obligated to be honest with them. And… it sucks. It sucks because I can’t hide. And I want to, but I can’t. And Chick found out. He met Caleb when he was up at the farm working with Dylan. He just figured it out. And he has issues with my brother, and he was trying to find him, and he hold me that if I didn’t help him that he would tell you all of this, that he would spread it around town, and that he would humiliate you. So – I don’t know. Just go pack your bag.
Where are we going?

Nashville 4.16

Maddie is clearly out of control. When they singed the Stella sisters, I thought yes finally they’ll get extra singing time. Now Maddie is all deva like and Daphne is never singing anymore. I completely forgot Rayna and Juliette were both under 16 when they left home to pursue they careers. Do they remember they may get cancelled next month? We’re all happy we’ll get more Juliette songs as well, as she’s joined Luke’s tour with Lyla and Avery! Not the best episode.

And if you’d seen the song she was playing.
But without the voice, they’re just songs.
Somebody’s moving forward with their career.
Singing half dressed. Some guy grabbed her leg.
I could write a book.
I know what it is like to be a 16 year old girl and have a fight with her father and leave the house forever.
I don’t think there was anything to contain us at 16.
Miss Juliette Barnes!
