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

Greys 11.13

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

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

SVU 16.16

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

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

Cougar Town 6.08

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

Nashville 3.14

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

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

Castle 7.16

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

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

Switched at Birth 4.08

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

Pretty Little Liars 5.21

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

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

10/10

Eye Candy 1.07

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

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

How to Get Away With Murder 1.14

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

10/10

How To Get Away with Murder 1.15

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

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

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.

10/10

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.

10/10

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.

8.5/10

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?

8.5/10

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.

10/10

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.

The Simpsons 26.13

Remember pixels? How you could see all of them and everything was Paint quality? Moe goes to the plant and Marge starts a taxi service. Also Flinstons opening sequence.

Gymnastics. Swimming.

4.5/10

Switched at Birth 4.07

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.

2/10

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?

4/10

Scandal 4.13

I slept with that filthy animal to save your life.
She’ll be sold to some rape gang.
Olivia has been taken.
Hi Steven.
Hi Liv.
Once a gladiator, always a gladiator.
I wasn’t raped.
There’re worse things than rape.

8.5/10

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.

7/10

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)

10/10

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.

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.
23!? People for God’s sake join a gym!

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.

7/10

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.

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.

5/10

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.

7/10

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.

7/10

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.

5/10

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.

4/10

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.

10/10

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?

I have so many shows, I haven’t watched a single film since they came back from the winter break. I will cry when Parenthood ends. American Horror Story and Bad Judge just ended. Eye Candy made the list. Greys, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder are all back next week. Then Nashville, and Bates Motel and Bones are back in March.

Parenthood 6.12

Lauren Graham performed Joni Mitchell’s The Circle Game and that’s all I’m gonna say. Kristina looking at her latest accomplishment – which was probably the last scene at Chambers. I cried I cried and I went to the store and bought mansize klinex for next week’s finale.

That didn’t stop you before going into music business.
It’s gotta be you, Mr. Braverman.
I have some serious doubts about success of this school if you’re gonna tach cooking.
I always thought I’d get married at a volcano.
Did he just say volcano?
I always thought I’d have my second wedding at a volcano.
Excuse me? What’s happening? Are we going?
Of course I’m with you. I’m always with you.
Where’s the baby?
Yeah, that text was confusing.
There’s no rush.
What was special about it was Adam and I.
You slept with people? How many people? For a record, I didn’t sleep with people.
You’re beautiful to look at. Very beautiful. But also on the inside.
It doesn’t matter what you cook, since you’re gonna end up unemployed anyway.
Hey, you’re playing our song.
Something shifts and you’ll figure it out.
You’re my hero.
You still got it.
Mr Gangi, what exactly are your intentions with my daughter with those teeth?
If you hadn’t stolen my knife in the first place, none of it would have happened.
I just wanna make sure that my dad is there.
Don’t cry, I don’t like when you cry.
Amber, you’re a mommy.
I want you to meet your great grandson, Zeek.
Hi, Zeek.

10/10

SVU 16.12

I hate when SVU is not really SVU. We need SVU cases to know it’s gonna be okay, not some Amaro’s father bullshit, especially if he got away with it.

In order to heal, we have to let go.
Oh so you’ve forgiven your father or William Lewis?
Wow.
I’m sorry.
Daddy come quick they’re fighting.
So she deserved it. Just like you did.
Maybe this is just another nightmare from your childhood.
Detective would you say you have your own anger issues?
He’s my son. He has his issues.
The jury’s back.
After 20 minutes?
Finally stood up to your old man.
I would never lay a hand on her. I’m not you.

6/10

Revenge 4.13

Victoria offered her life for Emily’s! I see I wasn’t the only one stunned when that happened. It’s all revenge fandom can talk about on Tumblr. Well, this and Nolan’s wedding, but I don’t mind it Nolan and Louis turned out to be great friends even though they’ve known each other for two weeks or so. Why does Victoria say she has nothing left? What about Charlotte and her other son? Where is her other son anyway? Conrad is dead so he can come back and I know they’re trying to sell us Nolan’s bisexuality, but no one is buying it. The whole episode I kept thinking, If they beat Emily up, Victoria has no chance of survival.

Who as it turns out is Emily.
Who would have thought after all that was said and done, you and I would die together.
To stage a greving mother’s suicide.
I thought I’d sacrifice myself to buy you and Emily more time.
Revenge is a dangerous game.

10/10

American Horror Story 4.13

What a beautiful finale. Glad to see a happy ending, very similar to the Haunted House’s, and not a depressing one like Asylum and Coven’s.I knew all of the freaks would die and Elsa too. That’s why we had Dandy. But with every shot my heart wss breaking and I kept saying ‘Come on’ through a tight throat. Elsa comitting a suicide by performing on Halloween was so fitting. They could not have written a better ending. But why would the film that portrays her as a victim hurt her? Why would she be ruined? The film didn’t show her as a masochist, I think they started rolling when she was lying in the bed completely out of it and then having her legs cut off. I know it’s the early 60s, but I think the only think that would change is that everyone would feel sorry for her but I don’t think any less people would watch, even though we all know in the 50s-60s you had to be perfect to make it.

Audiences want a new type of freak.
You’re boring. You’re never be one of us.
What kind of place is this?
Hollywood.
My name is Elsa Mars.
Showtime.
I always thought babies to be boring, but freak babies!
You didn’t think we’d lay in bed with you after you’ve massacred our entire family.
Were you poorly trained? You’re not allowed to sit at the table with us.
It’s got to be theatrical.
I felt so blessed to finally have friends and you took them all.
You’re the biggest freak of them all.
I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.
First of all, this coffee tastes like shit.
I said I will not perform on Halloween.
I’m bored and I’m alone.
I’ve always been cursed. First by having my dreams ripped away and now I’m cursed by having them all come true.
I’ll become just some sad footnote in Hollywood’s history?
They’re all dead.
What? All of them?
Some kind of massacre. Bodies found in a mass grave.
I’ve changed my mind. I will perform on Halloween. Why not? I may as well go out with a bang.
Why she stopped singing?
This is a suicide. How deep your pain must be, my love.
I’m the biggest freak of all.
Your place is not with us.
It’s like you’ve always said, sweetheart. Stars never pay.
Am I to perform?
The brightest and the best there ever was and will be.

10/10

Bad Judge 1.13

Just when I got used to these characters. I love that it ended exactly the same way it started – with Rebecca being a complete mess. Goodbye, Bad Judge, I’ll miss you.

Car wash.
There we go.
May just ask your name?
It’s spelled…
Hopefuly we can get address till lunch.
I’ll call one of my orher friends. You know, my friend Ross, Monica’s cool, Chandler, god, could he be so funny?
We’re grown ups. Punching is called battery and they’ll take you to jail for it.
The woman has enough alcohol.
It’s like an emergency tent at Coachella.
If she serves anything, it definitely has herpies.
What!?
No you can’t arrest me today!
The next day, you are the authority, the van’s gone.
I need you to cover a case for me.
Objection. We get.
Sustained.
Did you eat for the food, didn’t pay for the food?
Be seated.

10/10

Cougar Town 6.03

Great episode. Reminded me of the great ones from the early seasons when everything was Jules/Ellie.

They’re screwed.
Actually, I’ll take the compliment.
What’s the challenging part?
Oh, I’m not hearing a problem.
S’up Perv’stach.
I had to use both hands.
It might have been the alcohol.
Yeah! And we gve it to them.
We’re out of 3 grand.
Bless you.
Are you calling me a liar?
Are you ready to sex up this joint?
Sure is, baby.
Is that right?
It’s you. My new Bobby. It’s you!
Why you’re being creepier than usual?

8.5/10

Castle 7.12

Witty, but very average. Brad from Gilmore Girls plays the hotel personnel.

And not see Castle.
I’m looking for a private detective.
She’s absolutely right a d completely unbiased.
Canvasing? Or you mean that thing you let Ryan and Espo do.
What was the strange thing you’ve noticed.
That smoking hot detective was asking about the same thing too.
But this UBS drive.
I have my operative looking into other clues.
Maybe your opinion’s not so objective.
This is not my limo.
What’s her name?
Havier.

5.5/10

Shameless 5.02

What an episode, hands down, Shameless is back. Fiona proved she is chaos. Getting punched twice in the same day by two diffrent strangers may be the exact definition of chaos.

Did you leave either kid on the porch and went on a drug run?
Just like these asholes who don’t speak English are doing.
Let me get my pepper spray.
He’s one block over at Sheila’s.
More butter.
Apologise to my waitress.
I think Chucky is moderly retarted. Someone should tell Sammy.
I hope it’s better than his sad display of mentally disabled art.
He was with two very clean lesbians.
Double? It has scam written all over it.
Terrible fucking idea.
Did they offer cash upfront? Cash today?
She has a good nose for scam.
I don’t think you’re invited.
Why you done with the public pool? Someone shit in it? Someone shit om you?
I don’t know this feeling. It’s hate. I hate your daughter, Frank.
You look really pretty, Mandy.
Hi, I really need to talk to the priest.
Did you take something?
A job for illegal immigrants and ex cons.
I need to go to the alibi. Job requirement.
I’m gonna want you for that.
You’re a chaos junkie.
Why was there a hooker’s tit in mu baby’s mouth!?
It’s just hair. It’ll grow back.
It’s a starbucks.
Gentrification.
Genital what?
14 will get you 20.

10/10

Switched at Birth 4.03

I almost cried and rewinded three times when Daphne introduced John as her dad. I feel for Iris, she made a great point, she helped Daphne study and found her an interpreter, yet she didn’t get help in return.

What’s your favorite horror film?
Psycho.
Happy 50ish birthday.
Have you ever been convicted of a fellony?
Forensic evidence? Are you a criminology major?
Charity work?
Environmental clean up.
I didn’t know that made sound.
How do you know John Kennish?
He’s my dad.
I’m just the dumb hearing girl wno no one wants to slow down enough to talk to.
This kid has a future in baseball and I’m gonna help him.
It’s ASL, when everyone’s together, I’m all lost.
Stop it.
Make me.

6.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 5.16

Isn’t it hilarious how this show used to be just something to watch in the background for four years and now it’s the only way to get through Wednesday? How boring my life must have gotten over the year that I’m actually looking forward to every new episode? I watch it before Cougar Town and Switched at Birth. I almost cannot say a bad word about it anymore. The show is satisfying without Alison. I really hope Mona is in that barrell, as I did not see it coming.

Aria, this is the letter you wrote to Jackie.
You’re mad that I bailed or that I walked in on your wild college weekend.
Oh you can’t find the copy of the invoice?
So your boyfriend’s a cop.
From Mona Vandervaal.
You sound really echoey, like you’re in an airduct.
That’s because I am in an airduct.
He’s keeping it to build a case against one of us.
That she’s in there.
Mona was a lot of things, but she didn’t deserve this.
I like him and like him with you.
It’s just a bunch of kids sitting on bunk beds trying to figure out what yo do with the rest of their lives.
Hanna, it’s rented in your name and I’m pretty sure that Mona’s body is hidden inside of it.

This is exactly the amount of episodes that should premiere each week. Imagine what would happen if Greys and Scandal premiered too and if I haven’t seen Shameless last week already. There were so many episodes I could not catch up with them during the week with my 10 h shift, which meant 4 shows on Saturday, now, that’s a perfect day. I only managed to watch Revenge, Suburgatory, Nashville, Switched at Birth and Pretty Little Liars the morning after they premiered. On Friday I watched Cougar Town, rewatched Suburgatory. On Saturday I dug into The Carrie Diaries, Bones, Castle, SVU. Dropped exhausted and watched American Horror Story and Ravenswood on Sunday. Then I rewatched Revenge and Nashville. Then I turned into SAGA and CCA. Best weekend in a long long time.

Revenge 3.12

You really want people to think you are a gold digger?

SVU 15.11

The only thing wrong with this episode is that it did not have an SVU case.

Bones 9.13

The last two episodes, this is why Bones is so excellent. I was getting really annoyed with all the bad episodes.

This show is doing so fine this season, sad it’s only 13 episodes.

Pretty Little Liars 4.15

Seriously? Hanna and Aria’s brother? Running out of ideas there? The writers do anything to prolong the series as much as possible. So many useless plots and this one is the stupidest of all.

2/10

Ravenswood 1.07

When will I stop torturing myself with this show?

3/10

The Simpsons

That was the worst episode I’ve seen in years, probably the worst Simpsons episode of all.

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

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

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

Enjoy!

I just really love movies and watch 700 new ones a year.

Favourite actors: Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Henry Fonda, Jack Lemmon, Vincent Price and John Candy.

Favourite Directors: Brian De Palma, Alfred Hitchcock, Paul Thomas Anderson, Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Kieslowski and Wes Craven.

dysfunctional families | troubled childhoods

psychological | independent | drama | horror

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

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

About me

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

favourite film and tv quotes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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