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

Greys 11.14

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

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

Cougar Town 6.09

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

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

Shameless 5.8

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

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

Nashville 3.15

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

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

7/10

The Good Wife 6.13

Colin Sweeney’s just the best character.

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

10/10

The Simpsons 26.15

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

Scandal 4.14

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

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

Switched at Birth 4.09

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

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

Pretty Little Liars 5.22

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

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

Eye Candy 1.08

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

10/10

Secrets and Lies 1.01

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

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

5/10

Secrets and Lies 1.02

Better than the pilot.

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

6.5/10

American Crime 1.01

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

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

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

Greys 11.13

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

Owen, thank you for bringing me the coffee.
So, how’s my head?
I like her.
Get me out!
But so am I.
Stop crying.
Cause that’s the way it goes.
Thank you for tking her case.
Oh shut up.
I’m on the edge of figuring it out.
You are my mentor. I believe in you.
Get it together, Dr. Shepherd.
My whole life I have been the other Shepherd.
Night night tumor baby it has been lovely. But we are done.
This surgery will be history.
Excellent. Excellent. You should be very proud of yourself.
Arizona, it’s time.
This is the part where you trust her.
I wanted to leave a legacy.
Don’t you dare say it, Nicole.
Somw thing you just have to leave behind.

SVU 16.16

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

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

Cougar Town 6.08

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

Nashville 3.14

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

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

10/10

Castle 7.16

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

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

Switched at Birth 4.08

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

Pretty Little Liars 5.21

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

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

10/10

Eye Candy 1.07

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

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

How to Get Away With Murder 1.14

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

How To Get Away with Murder 1.15

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

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

Greys 11.12

I guess it’s official, Nicole will die, as she’s the coolest character now. Casualy stealing furniture because it’s fun.

You have to decide how much you want to let out and how to keep the secret in.
What happened to the couch?
Robbins, do you live with residents? You’re a grown up. Get your own place. Residents gone wild!
Wasn’t there a couch there?
Yeah it used to be.
Is this about the naked resident?
It is good news.
You’re dirty.
It’s because of you?
It was all a lie. Our whole life was a lie.
Her.
That’s a beautiful name. So can I call you Rosaline?
Why don’t you?
My life is so much better now that I have nothing.
You should know, I’m not gonna have sex with you.
Shut up!
I’m gonna kill you now so.
It was just me, for 3 days.
I’m gonna marry that girl.

SVU 16.15

Great case, but we all knew Noah’s father is either a pimp or a John, so nothing new here. The whole squad goes undercover and we bump into our old Captain.

Carissi hasn’t moved in 20 minutes.
The female handler is known to us.
How about you shut your mouth.
Save it, cause I know that you speak English.
Check their ID’s.
I already did. They’re all fake.
They have my daughter.
This woman was pretending to be a sex trafficker? That’s a new defence.
Touching story.
It’s a slave trade.
I hope you didn’t make her any promises.
She’s not happy with the delivery.
Carissi’s driving? Great, they’re fonn lose him.
Got a supplier.
Illegal delivery of alcohol to a residence.
How about illegal distribution of alcohol to a private residence?
If’s also a big day for beer delivery.
One of his kids is sick. It’s a busy day.
Hey, how you doing?
Amanda, how many underaged girls do you have there?
I don’t know how you’re still standing.
I’m your sister in law and I’m the new supplier.
I do what I tell them to do.
That’s what I wanted to hear.
Who are these tresspassers? I don’t know them.
Who are you? I don’t know you.
I don’t know you either, superfly.
Do i wanna know why you’re dressed like that?
Buying? Wow, so now you’re trafficking.
Just one? I thought I taught you to think big.
I almost got my daughter killed.
Aerial has a real mom?
We know you’re a pimp.
It doesn’t matter. It matters what it looks like.
You kill her, you die too. Is she really worth it?
What doesn’t kill you…
Makes you a better detective.
You want me back in charge so badly?
Till we meet again.
You have a good team here.

Cougar Town 6.07

Hilarious. And Ellie Torres is me.

It’s like Tom’s right here.
Tell me you took that bitch down.
We lost a tree and gained a new patio set.
Score!
I signed us all as chaperons.
No because the high schoolers are making me take the liquor out.
I’ll act like I did at my own prom. I’ll be above it all and judge everyone.
How come I’m the only one who’s in the prom spirit?
My baby has no shot at a normal life.
Dudes. Weak.
I think it’s sweet. Car’s out front when you’re ready.
Don’t get pregnant! Sometimes I love you is a trick to get into your pants!
You’re ready for another adventure?
It’s time to put the popular girls into place.
Oh that guy looks like he’s over 18.
I only saw the ceiling.
Let’s just get into the car and see where the car takes us.
Andy’s fun.

Shameless 5.06

The best part was Sammy talking about how she almost got gang raped the first day of high school and got beat up by Ukranians for wanting to use the bathroom without cigs to exchange. I like her living with the Gallaghers. Fiona’s gonna choose Jimmy, though Guss a good guy too.

Mickey Milkovich? Say hello to him from me.
Cause the crazy orange boy took my baby.
This is not a summer camp, mam.
I was almost gang raped the first day of high school for not wearing a bra.
Ukranian girls beat me up the first week.
He’s the gay one with all the problems.
Not free, idiot. Legal.
New half sister.
Frank’s or Monica’s?
Liam almost died.
Your other husband is at the door.
You’re Guz? Don’t blow this up. She’s great.
His partner. Lover.
Can I go in with him?

Nashville 3.13

Maddie lost her contract, but Jeff got fired. Felt sorry for Layla.

Maddie, Welcome to Edgehill.
I almost died and no one cares.
There is no way Teddy would ever sign a thing like that.
You signed Maddie to Edgehill.
I expect to see her at 10am tomorrow morning.
You’re freaking Deacon Claybourne.
Layla Grant.
I know who she is.
I’m supposed to have Maddie at Edgehill at 10 tomorrow.
I’ve got you and you’ve got me.
On the second thought, maybe I’m changing my mind. Maybe I’m sticking around.
You gotta tell Rayna.
You better start driving towards Virginia.
No, I think I’m ready to sing that song now.
I swear it’s good for you. If just tastes like crap.
Standing in the driveway, tryana see it your way.
Cause they’re implicating you.
And I sure as hell don’t want my daughter to be anywhere near that.
I was talking about you, man.
Why don’t we let the music do the talking?
Your meeting was cancelled because I was fired.
Because you were sleeping with prostitutes.

Castle 7.16

So is 3XK dead? What does it mean for the show? No more 3XK episodes? Fvorite part? Castle casually hiding in the woods, or Alexis and Martha screaming.

Help her.
I can’t help it if her contact information is out of date.
She’s my wife.
Yeah. Where’s Castle?
I don’t believe you.
He sees the story. I see the evidence. But he sees the story.
You wanna help her, get inside his head. What’s his story.
The pain in your eyes. The suffering.
He’s calling from your house.
Aaa!
Where’s Alexis?
Aaaa! What the hell dad!?
Castle get back it’s a trap.
Beckett no!
That was the stupidest, most reckless, irresponsible stun you’ve ever pulled, Mr. Castle.
1000 hours of following Det Beckett.
Mr Castle welcome back.
Two days I didn’t know where you were and it nearlt killed me.

Kathryn’s mother’s Alzheimers and companionship get the only points this week.

You were raped.
They’re lovers.
She’s my best friend and my lover.
Companionship.

Pretty Little Liars 5.20

And we’re back to very bad episodes. I repeat, no one cares about Mike. We didn’t learn anything new. A very teen episode.

Hanna, we’re not shopping here.
You’re new at this, aren’t you?
I’m gonna get that money for you.

1.5/10

Eye Candy 1.06

Non flirtual, and my favorite part was when the flirtual killer helped her. Now I’m starting to like the killer, but the episode was weak.

In other words, hackable.
Sick enough to vwt me into ICU.
Neurophysillis.
You should have a seizure or something.
She certainly does get around, doesnt she?
She swallowed it.
What do you mean by simple?
Want my help?

I slept with that filthy animal to save your life.

There’re worse things than rape.

How to Get Away With Murder 1.13

Best episode yet! The rape monologue was the best thing they have written on this show show. Proud of Paris Geller even when she says guilty instead of not guilty in the opening statement.

That’s why my client is guilty. Not guilty. That was a slip.
I didn’t rape him.
Filthy little secret.
Do you talk to Annalise when she tells you what to do?
Would you sleep with her? Who? Bonnie?
Can we not talk about sleeping with our clients?
Somebody’s always a student. Somebody’s always a teacher. That’s how the sex works best.
You didn’t tell me the raped guy was gay.
I have no idea how to win this case.
Did you know what he did to me?
I told you, men take things.
This thing that happened to me, what you ignore is why I am the way I am.
Your aunt Lynn was ut out by her 1st grade teacher. Pastor got me after the choir.
Is it because you’re desperate again?
Then he came out of your room and I knew what he had done to you.

Posting on Thursday again, as apparently I have too many shows. Especially since 5 of them I could easily let go of, but clearly they’re too adictive.

Greys 11.11

I hate everyone who did not know Amelia had a kid. If you watched Private Practice, I would still be watching my favorite show every Friday.

He can feel his bones breaking.
And this is?
A death certificate.
Why didn’t she ask me? I’m a person.
That’s not what she meant.
Show up for her, please. Show up for April.
My baby lived 43 minutes.

SVU 16.14

Not my favorite case, but still a 10. SVU never dissapoints. Fin’s a player and we’ll never know how did he convice Rollins and Carissi to go with him, but It was fun to watch him explain the language to everyone. A lady gamer ignores Liv’s words and ends up kidnapped and raped. It’s easy for us to say we’d listen, but would we really?

Hold on, you got Rollins and Carissi on this on a Sunday?
Even so, how is this SVU related? (me every domestic episode)
Who are you Steven Spielberg? (same at my work, bad camera image is always a problem)
They kidnap, rape and it’s a game?
I’m sure she’s real proud. (The guy’s mommy)

Cougar Town 6.06

I’m getting nostalgic already. Please don’t go, you guys. Tom as McSteamy? Also The Shining and Captain Philips references. How hilarious was that? I don’t know how I feel about Ellie going back to work and Andy being a stay at home dad. What about everything we’ve known about Ellie for the last 6 years? That she abandoned her job when she realized she doesn’t have to work anymore? Who’s going to hang out with Jules all day? Who’s going to put sarcasm and disdain into every conversation and say ‘imaginary hat’ and ‘changed approved’? I am not okay with this.

Heads, divorce, tails, murder.
I’m the Captain now.

5/10

Shameless 5.05

My dad called Shameless the second best show out there after SVU, and even though the last two episodes were much weaker, I couldn’t agree more. Ian has done porn, and we’re blaming his bipolar disorder. Where’s Sheila? She better be back or I won’t take it. She was my favorite character and no one has prepared me for this.

Gallaghers do blackouts and suicidal attempts.
There’s no room in the backyard.
There’s no trailer.
I could, well, yeah I could stay for a day or two.
I’m not a pedophile. I’m here for a handjob. From you.
As your legal guardian I have to day violence is not the answer, but those bitches deserved it.

Nashville 3.12

Yes to all the singing! And they played my number one Nashville song. And Maddie got a contract, and I couldn’t be happier.

Would you write a song with me?
This is real life, don’t let it pass you by.

8.5/10

Castle 7.15

Predictble, as we knew he was going to say he got plastic surgery and he’s not 3XK, but for some teason this may be my favorite 3XK case. And without a doubt, the creepiest episode of Castle yet. I haven’t enjoyed a Castle episode this much in a long time. And they have Kate.

I signed for an escort service. I’m off to meet a client.
Bye, Kate.
You are pretty lovable.
You can bring Castle in to work on this case.
Kate Beckett, such lovely features.
And I never forget a face. Especialy one I cut.
Oh my God look who’s driving. 3XK.
You got cosmetic sutgery to look like a serial killer?
How do you prove I’m not?
Your mother.
They’re so normal.
That’s excellent, Kate.
It’s an anagram for returned.
Beckett.

The Simpsons 26.12

Very relatable to anyone was was ever obese.

I never thought any of us will go anywhere.
As an aspiring musician, I’ll write the song.
That’s the best deal any song writer ever got.
Ugh. Artists.
We only had a hurricane once.
Sarah, let’s have another.
Occupied.
I’m tired of you saying planes have gotten smaller.
It’s not about health. It’s about going crazy.
Overfeeders anonymous.
I am big. I am beautiful. No one can make me feel sad. This is who I am.
Restore. Restore.
Option outdated.
I’m gonna start celebrating my size.
Walking before picture.
Two of us can make a crowd.
I’ve learnt there’s something more important than drinking, eating.
Now move along, if you can.
You’re the only gangsta I know wjth a 9 o’clock bedtime.

Switched at Birth 4.06

I understand that as a teen show they need to show how concerned everyone is, and bring justice, but this seemed a little too much. The sad truth is they would all have bad Travis’s girlfriend’s reaction. I can hear victim blaming and I can’t handle it, as we all know a girl who had it happened to her, but she swollowed it all, never told anyone and then it started coming back in pieces and at the weirdest times many years later. Kathryn was sexually assaulted and I bet even John doesn’t know, and that was real, and that’s what I wanted to see. There is no way Tank would have gotten kicked out of the school. Why didn’t he get a lawyer? We know how hard it is to have the rapist expelled or get the school to acknowledge the assault. We’ve dealt with it in numerous SVU episodes.

Can I just ask if she’s okay?
What’s happening I can’t breathe.
It wasn’t some monster rapist itwas my ex boyfriend.
I was just 17. My best friend’s brother. I woke up to dind his hands in places they should never have been.
What happened to you does matter.
Emmett, Bay was raped.
Did I deserve something dine to me when I was too drunk to give permission?
You don’t start blaming yourself. It’s not your fault.
This happens to so many girls and it makes me so angry.
I love you, same as always.

Pretty Little Liars 5.19

When I first started watching the show 5 years ago, Hanna was my favorite liar and this hasn’t changed. I’m with her on being mad at her father for paying for Kate’s school and being surprised Hanna got in at all. What a jackass. Hanna has always bad the most relevant storylines, while what others only have are relationships abd being pinned for a murder or two.

I tend to fall for women who are unavailable.
How can you love sth if you’re bad at it?
I was arrested for murder. I can’t be arrested again.
So Kate’s going to Darmouth and you’re paying and you didn’t even ask where I’m going.
I always knew that you had it in you.
One drop here and one spot there.
You’re like the queen of not helping.

7.5/10

Eye Candy 1.05

I will definitely stick around to see how it all resolves, and I hope it gets a second season too.

We record identity of every person that walks in.
Dare you to give away your underwear.
I smell him.
I was in love with a cop, who was killed by a flirtual killer.
Cut off a finger.
Steal their phone.
Creeply.
Do you know anything about my sister?

4.5/10

Scandal 4.12

Best episode in since the premiere. Huck had to kill and snapped. Queen lost it. Abby’s not a gladiator anymore. Mellie would make an excellent president.

Abby, how are you?
Shut up. Where’s Liv?
I’m sorry, do you remember me?
You’re not a gladiator anymore.
Good morning, powerful people.
Who has more monehy than United States of America?
China…
Take them out not this.
We’ll sleep better when she’s sleeping between us.
I wanna be a president of United States. I wanna rule the world.
He goes to these black places.
Who did you send me to?
Iran.
It doesn’t matter who has her. Olivia Pope is dead.

How to Get Away With Murder 1.12

Don’t we always go around the syllabus?

Congrats to SVU on season 17! I couldn’t be more proud. Just read Revenge is on a 6 week hiatus. Sadly we should prepare ourselves for season 4 being Revenge’s last. The ratings have been awful for the last 6 weeks. Why did Conrad leave? Conrad is gone. Victoria’s grieving. Everybody hates David. No one wants to see Emily with the cop or get to know him or the red head. Not only Bones and The Good Wife are on hiatus, but now Revenge too. Great.

Greys 11.10

How great was seeing Mer calling Maggie? And bonding with her and Amelia. Owen reminiscing could not be more relatable. Everyone had that love they ley go and couldn’t stop thinking about the good times.

Surrounded by people, but drowning in solitude. That kind of loneliness can swallow you whole.
Hey, you wanna special ringtone?
You pause.
Okay that’s gross.
So you’re legs are in the air and you?
Pause.
I want a grown up.
Christina would have scrabbed in with me.
Residents are boring. All they wanna do is learn.
Nothibg is where it’s supposed to be.
In 10 hours.et’s go to church.
You’re gorgeous. Do people just tell you this all the time?
No pressure.
Oh yeah pressure.
Whatever care.
He’s lucky I love him.
I mught be too good at being alone.
Maybe i could print a Derek. Just for sleeping.
This is where we cut.
That’s my finger.

SVU 16.13

SVU gets a 17th season and I couldn’t be more proud. No show could deserve a renewal more than SVU. Now I’m crying. Hands down, best show.
Paul Adelstein on this week’s SVU, and another incredible case ripped from the headlines. In May I’ll be calling this of the three episodes of the season.

No Amanda, I’m sorry for what you put yourself through.
Arrest him, he raped me.
Welcome back to SVU.
And he got it all over me.
I was trying to record a confession.
With her tights still on.
Even if it wasn’t him, it’s better for you if I say it did, right?
I was sitting.
Can you show us?
No, please don’t tell my mom, she’s already a mess.
My uncle raped me.
Her own uncle? No it can’t be.
Yes it can.
This is why I don’t trust dentits.
He raped his niece while his hygenist guatded the door?
The hygienist is also his wife.
We had a little quicky in the chair.
If this guy really raped his niece while his wife was in the office…
Then it isn’t his first time.
Tell them what the therapist said.
Did he tell you how ut got inside her sweater?
Something this traumatic takes time to process. Bits and pieces come back slowly.
I am not heating any of this.
Except the ones you paid off.
She looks drugged. Bet he does her high too.
Mute that witch.
So far 11 victims came forward.
Stood by you or set you up?
I refered them to him.
Stop you whining. You’re not pregnant. I had a vasectomy.
You’re hurting me, I’m a dentist. I need my hand.
It’s not a big deal. You’re not so special.

Cougar Town 6.05

Vinebulance is a fantastic idea! Especially for the cul de sac crew! I’ll miss this show so much.

Stealing work supplies. Classic move.
Now, maybe his wife.
You’re still a mayor of Gold Haven.
What do you mean former mayor?
Exactly, a step above.
His eyes are so tiny.
My chair was too comfortable.
There was a scandal over your leaked dick pic.
I always do that. It turns me on.
Welma.
You mean Daphne.
I know what I like.
Soprano in a glee club.
Nerd.
And then we bought this old van, and Trav is a genius and Scooby Doo and you’re gonna be rich.
I’ve arranged a distraction.
No but I can’t wait to hear how it ties in with children.
What, do you think law school paid itself?
Winebulance.
Everybody dance now.

Shameless 5.04

The weakest episode in Shameless’s history. Fiona’s one week after dating marriage is gonna backfire soon. How could she forget about the 3 kids she still has at home? One stupid decision after another. Frank’s story of a lost fortune was great. Favorite line was Mickey’s when he said he not gonna tip a guy for losing his baggage. Frank fighting over a leg with a girl without a leg may be one of the most shameless things they did, next to Vi telling Kev to impregnate her mom, Deb losing her v card byraping a guy and Frank screwing the life out of one chick with a heart condition, or Karen screwing Frank and recording it to piss off her dad for calling her a whore, or Kev saying Karen’s Asian baby doesn’t have a Down syndrome, we’ll just looking at it upside down. I miss Sheila and Mandy already.

121 grant!
What the hell happened on Tuesday?
Are you still waiting around for like a fucking tip or sth? Caues I’m pretty sure you guys lost my suitcase. Holy fuck.
Maybe not for the boy you raped.
Tou stole a porshe?
Might have bought one.
One leg 60 grant?
All my fucking money spent on childhood amputees.

Nashville 3.11

I’m really glad that Nashville is finally back, but when are we going to hear something new from Rayna, Juliette or Maddie and Daphne? How great was that song of Luke’s?
‘If I drink this beer, I’ll probably have two or three. If I know me, I’ll be digging up the past, like it’s money in the back yard.’

Does this mean you’re gonna marry Deacon?
Rayna! I know she’s here.
Oh my God. She called off the wedding.
My name is Jane Smith.
Miss Smith, I have just a thing for you.
But I don’t wanna write a sad song. I I don’t wanna sing a sad song. I don’t wanna be a sad song.
Because I told her I loved her.
Maybe change your clothes.
Luke throws a party to celebrate.
I should probably tell you that Deacon stepped by.
I was upset about a chair.
Show has already been cancelled.
I’ll do it. Shut up, I’ll do it.
I’m just gonna go.
I’ve loved you since the first time I saw you.
I want to be the one to take care of her.
If I drink this beer, I’ll probably have two or three. If I know me, I’ll be digging up the past, like it’s money in the backyard.

Castle 7.14

A good case, that I actually remember 5 days after it premiered. I like Castle as PI, the cases are more interesting. It’s something new the show needed.

Knock them dead, babe.
Beckett he killed her. [Out of service]
I believe he’s been right to many times not to consider it.
She wanted justice for one murder and committed two.
Yeah I’m gonna go with dead.
What’s in the bags and where are you taking them?
Guess who was suspected of killing his first wife?
Her husband.

Switched at Birth 4.05

Have you seen this week’s SVU? I really hoped this SVU episode could be SVU good, and it wasn’t. My favorite scene was when Regina told Bay she feels sorry for the girl, because she was raped. I hate that because it’s an ABC Family teen show the whole family knows about what happened to Bay a day or two after it happened. If it was any other show, the girl would have moved on, and suffer the conseqences years later. Show me a 19 year old girl that’s been date raped by a person she thought was her friend who told her entire family what happened to her a few days after the fact?

I wasn’t.
Hey, mom.
I remember up to a point and then nothing.
I’m not gonna tell anyone. What’s the big deal.
That she was raped. She didn’t give consent.
The room’s spinning.
If I fon’t remember it how can it be okay?
She’s my sister.
Something’s happened to Bay.
You have to trust yourself.

Pretty Little Liars 5.18

How bad was this week’s PLL? No one cares about Mike.

Mona liked her movies.
Thanks don’t mention it.
That’s Betthany. She’s talking about Alison right?
They have matched the blood.
If Ali really cut you off, congratulations. Yiu don’t kbow how lucky you are.
I should have said something that night.

Eye Candy 1.04

I’m liking her friend from work much better than the girl from the bar, and the show might have just saved itself.

They’re all on flirtual.
You’re fired. I’m kidding. I covered for you.
Who’s the insomniac?
I know why he’s killing them.
Julia hated her teeth.
He wants perfection.
It’s your birthday?
Yeah.
What kind of a person doesn’t know their best friend’s birthday.
You passed my test.
Perfection doesn’t exist. Everybody’s flawed. Especially me.

7.5/10

Scandal 4.11

That’s what I’m talking about. Scandal is back with a great episode. Last week was disastrous and felt forced and stuck up and this week is just fine. But Mellie sleeping with vicepresident? Come on Mellie, it might have as well been you.

It woyld be a shame if miss Pope was beheaded.
Where’s the black lady. (Good thing you’re black)
I didn’t know there’s a coalition for West Angola.
They have Olivia.
I appreciate you sharing it with me.
I’m saving Olivia Pope.
I’m wearing a ten gallon white hat.
I have Olivia Pope for you.

How to Get Away With Murder 1.11

A SVU case, that Annalise gave up. Olivia Benson would have said the woman captor is a victim too. How did they find his body?

Fled you mean.
Welcome to HTGAWM Semester 2.
I’m not a role model.
My husband’s keeping 2 girls captive in our basement.
You’ve never been raped, have you?
You kept her.
Where is she!?
She just turned 4. I saw how he started looking at her.
You, what’s going on with you?

A week late, as I was waiting to add the Downton Abbey special, but I’m not gonna wait till the 25th. I’ll rate it in early January when I sum up all the shows seperately.

Revenge 4.10

Weakest midseason finale yet and the wring character died. Couldn’t just Charlotte die instead? Most importantly, Henry Czerny guest stars, seeing his name in the opening credits made my previously awful day so much better. They should never have him killed. Emily taking Nolan’s secret dolphin shaped foil cameras was nice to watch, but her fight with the FBI agent? Everything about the FBI agent storyline felt forced. What is it with Victoria-s grandchildren? Why do they always have to lose their father shortly after they found out? Favorite scene? Daniel twlling Victoria he’s thankful for Emily telling him the truth, his monologue about wealthy families was just on point. Daniel’s death did not seem like a sacrifice to me, he was just foolishly walking in the wrong place and convinced he’s Daniel Grayson, played a knight. I did not see a sacrifice here, despite what everyone, including the promo for the next episode says. Victoria exposed the truth to David, and all I could tji k of was, enough with the flight talk. We’ve been through this already and it doesn’t matter anymore when the whole world knows he was framed.

Emily is our way out.
They hold grudges and arrest warrants.
I couldn’t live with myself If something happened to you.
A child needs a father.
Even like him?
It’s all part of a bigger plan.
In this startling dress.
I’m grateful.
We throw parties to cover up the truth. We’re not special. (Yes please)
This is not how I expected to spend my summer. (It sounds like a Nolan line, it would be so much better if he was the one who said it)
And in my rage, I chose you. (Like I said, no one cares at this point)
One of the many perks of having a genius as a best friend. (Thank you, Em)
Get out of here! Run!
Why didn’t you listen to me, Daniel! I told you to run. Why didn’t you run.
We can either choose to hide as villains or live as heros. (Wrong show, but a good line)
I want you to know it wasn’t all a lie. (Most dishonest thing on the show)
I know.

SVU 16.10

An exceptionaly painful episode, as we all know where this is going, about three seasons before that frightening promo for midseason premiere. ‘Those are my rape kits’, ‘you could always start an argument in an empty house’, ‘they’re trynna make sure I know my place’ and ‘you know that I never take no for an answer’ from Amanda’s rapist left a sour taste. Why the hell Amanda? She was my favorite character since she showed up at the precinct. Other than that an amazing episode, it might have been the first time, the squad had a brave little girl who managed to remember all the details and even thought of shoving her headphones in the seat to prove she’s been in the car. I was just as impressed as Liv and Amanda were.

I also know he’s gonna do it over and over again, until we find him.
A word of advice Rollins, when you’re coming up with an excuse, don’t over sell it.
And he might have not gone anywhere.
You know how many rapists sing, hum or whistle to their victims? A lot.
How about you take Fin?
Thank you.
You have no hot water.
I’m fine Fin.
Everything has its number but nothing is were it’s supposed to be.
Those are my rape kits?
You could always start an argument in an empty house.
They’re trynna make sure I know my place.

I can’t even go to church anymore.
Sounds like a cost effective trip.
Seems a little young for our guy.
You’re the seargant everyone’s been waiting for?
I shoved headphones between them so I could prove I was there.
It was blue and white.
Great. Don’t say sorry, honey. You did great!
These women agreed to do it. Hey wanted pills.
And since the phone is in your name, we can charge you as well. (They set it up perfectly)

10/10

Bones 10.10

In Hitchcock style. Hodgins’s a mad scientist and TJ outshined everyone. Cam fell out of the plane. On point with all the feministic remarks, so very relevant to the times. ZZ Top’s back and so are Max and Caroline and the interns. They could bring Lance back. They should have brought Sweets back for this one. Especially since they brought Pelant. Loved the credits and e everyone. A fabulous episode. Also, Hodgins.

Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz. (My reaction – Yes, our babies! So damn proud of my show)
Cam’s the maid. (Wtf!)
Temperance Brennan. NYPD. (HA!)
Dad. (Did not see that one coming)
Who are you and how did you get in here?
I told you not to call me darling.
When you stop calling me darling.
There are many reasons for murder, darling.
We gotta boogie, man. (Amen)
Christine.
(From my notes) Wtf is Pelant doing here!? (That reaction hasn’t changed)
She’s tall, dark, egzotic. (And here’s my purse, haha)
Real maid would have cleaned better. (Bones staying Bones, even in alternative world)
This beautiful artist.
What do you have in there, a dead body. Unconsious. (Did not see this line coming! Favorite of the entire episode)
How about that picture? (Had me screaming like a baby)

American Horror Story 4.09

Finn is the greatest character of this season. Go ahead, take Jimmy.

Avon calling.
Now you’re my puppet, mother.
You have a true talent.
There is nothing worse than an alcoholic with bad hygiene. (Laughed and rewinded)
Living like animals.
With one leg.
A chance of love like normal woman.
We buried her weeks ago. (Best!)
This is fresh blood from some lovely ladies I killed earlier today. (No better line than this)
I wanna give my life so you can have one.
Talk you out of it? I’m here to watch. (Haha)
Being what I am, a freak.
You dug a whole for her, you work for me and I’ll pay you 1 mln dollars in cash.
What kind of a psycho goes for a bunch of sweet housewives.

American Horror Story 4.10

Pepper’s story was excrutiating, Lily Rabe guest starred, we went back to Asylum and most importantly, Elsa did make it big! Freaks keep dropping dead like flies, how is that possible. By the time Elsa leaves for Hollywood, every single one of them will be dead. I doubt Jimmy losing his hands means he’s dead, even though it should. Maggie is such a weak character, and for the first time I liked Angela’s character. The only episode this season that made me geniunly cry.

And my sweet Pepper.
He was so stupid. (Elsa always saying one thing, thinking the complete opposite)
We should all go that way.
His head in the jar.
I don’t like working for other people. I need to be in charge. To have my own show.(Yes)
I went to the place people throw other people away, an orphanage.
My first monster. (Tearing up)
Get your hand off me you pervert. (The whole newspaper scene is genius)
So your parents just let you go off with this man? (For some reason I loved it)
I do know bullshit when I smell it. (What is this, The Help?)
I hate to break it to you, but life is not like the movies. You simple minded idiot. (Loved it)
Don’t talk to my sister like that. (Deserves a point)
Pepper is a gift. (Tearing up again)
Sweet Jesus. (My reaction exactly)
1962. (Poor Pepper, her sister deserves death)
Do I see real remorse? (So clueless and so good at the same time, I forgot how much I loved her character in Asylum)

Nashville 3.10

So give me a shot, as strong as you got. (With you on this one, Sadie)
I just gotta figure out what I wanna do, you know? (Yes)
People magazine? It’s practically paying for our wedding. (Great remark)
We both know who and what Will is. (Perfect)
He doesn’t want me, but I can’t be with anybody else?
What if I promised it will be alright. (Need this song asap)
My uncle’s passed out. I can’t wake him up.
I want you to marry me.
Wha?
Just say yes. (Finally Avery, finally)
I’m not that scared little girl I was 10 yrs ago anymore. (Ouch)
Layla in the pool.
I can’t marry you. (No you can’t)
But I’m not Deacon either, am I?
It’s Deacon. I can’t make you a casulty of my life. (This line)
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
Rayna driving at the end.

Weakest Christmas episode of the show. After 26 seasons, I still don’t like Moe. And only so little Flanders in a religious episode?

Now for the obligatory Frozen reference.
Mr Scrooge.
If you do it now, you won’t have to watch Superball.
Welcome to bring us your toilet paper. (The only funny line)
You’re alright, stupid Flanders.
No casual racism.
The place to get drunk is at home.

Pretty Little Liars 5.13

‘And in Rosewood, bitches get buried‘ should be the motto of the show. No one will ever convince me to liking Ali. The show was better without her. And Cece. And when did Holbrook hook up with Ali? He knew her before she came and lied about being kidnapped. The show stopped making sense, if it ever did in the first place. What’s up with dead Mona looking like Corpse Bride? I love Ezra hanging out with the kids, it seems right. Is Bethany Mrs D’s second daughter? If she had Jason with Spence’s father she mught have had Bethany, but weren’t she and Alison the same age? Paige leaving seems unnecessary and Hanna standing up for the little girls was the best scene of the entire episode. Isn’t it funny how naive they all are to think the Christmas tree is not from A, after 5 seasons of being tortured? Killing off Mona seems like the stupidest move yet. Now Ali will get her screen time and we just can’t have that. At least Lucas was hilarious as Santa, and I guess what this epispde will leave me with is the Fight Song.

Kisses, M.
Is this us? (How did A do that?)
And the monster was born.
I haven’t signed since fat camp. Merry Christmas.
I’m pretty sure that some kid peed on ne and that mean little girl keeps calling me dumb dumb.
And in Rosewood, bitches get buried.
And all those things I didn’t say, were wrecking balls inside my brain.
I think I just found her.
Alison knew Bethany.
Merry Christmas, bitches. -A.

Switched at Birth 3.22

I thought the Freaky Friday episode worked so well the first time I watched it, the second time, not so much. But what’s up with adopting a stranger for Christmas? Regina’s reaction was priceless.

I always wanted to have the kind of Christmas you see in the movies.
I was just thinking the same thing.
Who the hell is Regina?
That means the switch never happen.
We’ll cover it up, so she’s not embarrassed in the morning.
What the hell.
Tobias.
Adopt a stranger for Christmas.
We do. We just don’t show it.
I wish we’ve been switched at birth.
What? What did you just say?
Adopt us? We don’t need to be adopted.

5.5/10

Castle 7.10

What was that? Romeo and Juliet? Weakest episode of the series, but somehow Castle managed to get himself kicked out of the precinct.

It’s the daughter.
You were in what?
You are no longer permitted to work with NYPD.

Parenthood 6.09

Furious about Sarah not ending up with Mark. He only shows up to break our hearts all over again by updating us about his happy life.

So good. That was so good.
What’s your next class?
It’s hot.
What did you call me? (Lorelai/Luke flashbacks all the way)
I’m so excited I can’t wait to see her.
He’s speechless.
Step on the gas.
That’s the English teacher? Hi… hot!
I am more hygenic than he is. (please Max, you just started showering, last season)
Were you waving to the hot English teacher?
She knows him. They dated. They were engaged.

I think this is a case of absentee parents trying to blame someone for their absence (Adam is back after what seems like an entire season just to… kill it)
It’s been really eye-opening.
Look, there are no cookies. Game’s over, boy. (Camille’s first good scene since, well, ever)
It’s not booked or anything.
Oh good, it’s not gonna be booked.
Can you just make sure the credit card doesn’t come out?
You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. (Just when I was missing Sarah/Mark)
Some of those kids, right?
I felt like I didn’t deserve to be in your life, Julia. I love you so much. I’m never gonna stop loving you.
I understand that Max can’t help it.
They never listen! They don’t get that it’s the first place in five years that actually helped me.
That’s confusing.
I was only trying to do nice things.
This is gonna sound weird, but I’m glad I knew you.
I’m glad I knew you, too. I’m very glad I knew you.
You’re happy, right? I have baggage and I’m weird. Do you think your life would be better if you chose him?

Only if she wants to see me.
See you tommorrow at school, Asbergers.
It’s okay. In her case it’s a term of endearment, so I understand and take no offense.

You asked me if I’m happy. I’m happy. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be.
Camille, Camille. Call an ambulance. I can’t breathe.

10/10

Greys 11.08

The last 2 minutes made me cry like a little baby I was 11 seasons ago. This show will always be more important to me than my life.All the flashbacks to the most important moments of Meredith’s life accompanied by a hearbreaking voiceover left me utterly breathless.

I know how fo read a brain scan, Derek. I learned from the best, remember?
I just said I don’t want to know.
Marry the work, Rollins. It’s always there for you.
So by nothing you mean everything?
Oh good idea. Just sit still and stare. Like a creep.
What’s that and why do you keep drinking it.

We’re all a risk. We all have something.
A fellow of Dr Shepherd.
It’s spectacular.
Robbins, occupied.
She is the head and Derek is not.
You could try. She’s open to ideas.
Oh shut up.
What are we to you? Trash? You just move on to the next one?
You will figure it out.
You too.
Do you miss me? At all?
Of course.
Just not enough.
Welcome to my life.
They’re both so much like their mother.
I’m gonna screw as many Grahams as I want.
God can you keep something in your head for like two seconds?
911 for this?
What if it was me?
Or someone really good like Bailey?
And screw you.
Shepherd screwed me again.
I’m not gonna care how that sounds.
Okay. Now I’m bored.
Sorry, kale rage talking.
You have people, right?
Do you? Have people?
Let me know if you need people. I’m around.
Stop throwing football at my face.
It worked.
So, what does it mean? What do we take away? Which pieces will haunt us? Hurt us? End us? Inspire us? The carousel never stops turning. You can’t get off.

10/10

Svu 16.08

That work related?
Guys what is this? Celebrity nudes task force?

It ain’t easy.
That changes everything.
How the hell did they get that?
The old fashioned way, they paid for it.
I was raised the same way.
Just because a person can’t admit, or is in denial about the abuse, does not mean the abuse didn’t happen or won’t worsen.
That’s not what I saw on video.
Yes, and I’ve heard that before.

I won’t ask more about Seargeant’s double standards.
Savior of damaged women.
Some of us don’t need to be saved.

That doesn’t bother you?
You can’t take this job home. You can’t take anyone from this job home.
Physical violence is a crime, even if she’s ‘just’ his wife.
You think he was beating me up? What do you think you did?

9/10

Revenge 4.08

You tweeted the picture of this view, hashtag #neverleaving.
Turns out she has one.
She took everything from us.
I cleared your name.

I was never here.
Until I heard my name cleared. That was your doing, wasn’t it? I am so proud of you, Amanda.
I love you, Amanda. Infinity times infinity.

Can I just have a normal friend?
Start talking.

5.5/10

Bones 10.08

We’re gonna be at every school play, graduation and hockey game.
I doubt that very much.
I don’t think yiu understand infants.
That’s foolish and ignorant.
Wait, didn’t Daisy ask for a general anestisia when she had her tooth filled?
Is there anything I can do?
Maybe just keep telling her she’s ignorant, stuff like that.
Should I go now and tell her that she’s ignorant?
And this appointment is with a real doctor?
You’re an addict.
Oh shut up.
Bones this is really not the time.
He looks like Sweets.
He’s Seely Lance Wick Sweets.
I knew your dad.

9/10

Castle 7.07

We certainly did it, Mr Beckett.
So we procastinate and make sruff up.
Especially after all the hell they’ve been through.

5/10

American Horror Story 4.07

We paid good money for them.
There’s something wrong with Dandy and you know it.
I’m sorry, but I choose my sister. Always.
Truthfully? Adequate.
Of course my darlings. Anything you need.
Are you trying to get your way with me?
Who’s the stronger man now?
Do you condemn this outrageous behavior?
We make the perfect before and after picture.
Ma Petite in a jar.

7.5/10

Bad Judge 1 08

1.5/10

Nashville 3.08

Rayna looks so beautiful.
I must thank the one and only Deacon Claybourne
So what is he saying, Rayna wouldn’t have done it without him?
She makes it look so easy.

It’s just always so damn lonely.
Is it just me or do they really not seem happy right now?
I’m not my father and you are not your mother. We’re us.
There’s plenty of sunshine for all of us.

It’s about what sells.

9.5/10

The Simpsons 26.07

I’m sorry. Hahaha.
It’s not Bart’s fault that his haircut looks so stupid.
Look at me, I’m Bart.
Quiet Smelson.
I just need to get it to 60 %.
Homer Simpson, I love you.

4/10

Scandal 4.09

Charge her and lock her up. As for my father, find him, hunt him, kill him.
Elisabeth’s in bed with vice president.
Photos are out.
This seems cruel to James.
A kill card.
You have a finger?
The sun came down a while ago and it’s not coming back up.
Today I’m a joke. A punchline.
Thank you for your service.
Yes, Leo Burgen.
At his house? All night?
Yes.
Could you be more ungrateful?
Girl, you need to move on.
He ruined you.
So what? That’s how it is.
I’m marrying a whore, at least I know what I’m paying for.

9/10

How to Get Away With Murder 1.09

I’d pay to see her face right now.
Sam killed Lila and Rebecca is trying to prove it.
I’m just saying, he fell.
I was protecting Laurel.
She was.
Shouldn’t we be calling an ambulence?
You mean police, idiot. He’s dead.

We could be charged with fellony murder.
I’m like the most grown up grown up of all of you assholes.
What do you suggest?
Something that doesn’t involve carrying a body across the campus on the busiest night of the year.

This is murder, none of us knows what we’re talking about.
We have the whole night to dig.
I’m a grown ass woman.
Just come here, you idiot.
We all had to do things tonight we did not want to do.
Enough about the ring, Frodo.
Same time next week?
Train’s leaving, waitlist. You’re coming?

I’m so sorry.
Don’t be.

9.5/10

Faking It 2.09

Like he’s a fucking Mockingjay.
They made us wear these brown sacks.
Who knows what important texts we’re getting.
Wait? How the hell would you know?

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started in 2010 as weekly reviews of movies and tv episodes, and a diary of the 700 new films I watched every year. Today it’s a place for me to write a few words on films and tv shows that leave some sort of impact on me. I no longer write in depth reviews, mostly thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd.

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

Enjoy!

About the Author

All I do is watch movies, the good, the bad and the ugly. Sometimes I make my own.

Check out my latest film (120K+ views on Youtube):

www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3Iz23hD7M

I’ve seen over 6000 films and 220 TV shows. I have a degree in Film Production, and wrote my dissertation on Italian neorealism. I mostly gravitate towards social issues films, anything Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio De Sica or Jafar Panahi, etc.

I rate films within genre. I watch a lot of films on Mubi, Filmbox Arthouse. My favourite directors are Yasujiro Ozu, Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Zhang Yimou, Roberto Rossellini, Ingmar Bergman, Brian De Palma, Vittorio De Sica and Andrzej Wajda. My favourite actresses have always been Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. I’m nostalgic and reminisce a lot. I’m at the cinema 10 times a month. And I’m a Polish-British millennial.

I will watch anything:

psychological | arthouse | foreign | independent | drama | horror | lgbt | strong female characters | female centred films | dysfunctional families | sexual assault | troubled childhood | mental health issues

About me

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

favourite film and tv quotes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

‘Dr, I have been this way since…since I can remember. There is no cure.’ (American Horror Story)

‘He was so crazy about me, I couldn’t breathe. So we tried drinking our way back into love, but it never made sense in the morning. So I ran. And every time I came back, he was here. And he was still crazy about me.’ (My Blueberry Nights)

‘Bree van de Kamp had always wanted to live her life with elegance and grace. That is also how she wanted to die. Her plan was to pour herself a glass of her favorite chardonnay, put on her most stylish nightgown and leave behind a note on embossed stationery.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘All we have is this moment. The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today. So be… here…. now.’ (Six Feet Under)

‘On the train coming here, we were in the same cart, I saw you, you were reading and you feel asleep. I didn’t dare to look at you, you were so beautiful, it was scary. Afterwards,  I couldn’t stop thinking about you. It made me smile. Then I thought of all the men who would get to hold you, who’d make you laugh. How lucky they were.’ (Enemy at the Gates)

‘It was a good day. Maybe even a great day. Even when it was hard, I was the me in my head. There was a moment when I thought I cant do this, I cant do this alone. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing it, and I did, I blocked out the fear, and I did it.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a time when we must expose our weaknesses. When our secrets can no longer remain private, when our solitude can no longer be denied, when our pain can no longer be ignored, but sometimes we feel so alone that a weakness we thought we’d overcome suddenly becomes too strong to fight.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Why did you get married, Esti? Why didn’t you just leave? So everything was all right when I left?’
‘No. I was ill.’
‘What sort of ill?’
‘In my head.’
‘If I had to sleep with a man, why not with our best friend?’
‘Oh, Esti…’
‘It hasn’t been a complete disaster.’
‘And that’s enough?! Do you have to have sex every Friday?’
‘It’s expected.’
‘It’s medieval. What happened to you?’
‘Nothing. You happened to me. And then I started teaching and that became important. I give them ambition.’
‘To do what? Push out seven babies and be a good wife?’
‘Don’t. Don’t. I help them to value themselves.’
‘Okay, but what about you?’
‘That is me. And you? Are you happy?’
‘Yes, I am.’
‘Have you been with other women?’
‘No. Not really. And you?’
‘No.’
‘But, Esti… Do you still
only fancy women?’ (Disobedience)

‘OK, then, listen. Let’s not get caught.’
‘What are you talkin’ about?’
‘Let’s keep goin’!’
‘What d’you mean?’
‘Go.’
‘You sure?’
‘Yeah. Yeah.’ (Thelma & Louise)

‘She let me live at Nora’s house. She let me believe that I was a part of their family. I fell in love with that family. What am I supposed to do, just sit there, pretend I’m related to them? I was happy. For the first time in my life I was happy.’ (Brothers and Sisters)

‘You will be left all alone with your bitterness and your rage and your knowledge that you loved her and she loved you and you threw it away for them.’
‘Do you love her?’
‘Yes.’
‘And Have you always?’
‘Yes.’
‘So then ask her.’
‘Olive, will you forgive me?’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘No razors, no scissors, no fucking freedom.’
(Short Term 12)

‘You can’t take a picture of this. It’s already gone.’ (Six Feet Under)
