I’m on my first holiday since February, and I’ve decided to rewatch at least one film from two of my most favourite directors, Andrzej Wajda and Brian De Palma. Keep reading to find out which films I chose to watch.

Chronicle of Amorous Accidents

My dad and I own 24 of Andrzej Wajda’s films on DVD at this point, after buying another 7 this week. My dad has been telling me about this masterpiece for years and I finally got to see it. Paulina Mlynarska left the industry after being traumatised by the nude scenes in this film she shot at just 14. That’s the difference between European and US or British cinema. How many French films feautured films with teenagers being exploited?

10/10

The General

Started off my holiday with this brilliant Buster Keaton film. I was enjoying it very much, then halfway through I got a text from my boss telling me to contact him, because he wants to throw me a leaving-do. It’s my first time abroad since February and yesterday I bought 32 DVDs for very cheap, so I think we can already class this holiday as a success?

10/10

Carlito’s Way

I’ve never noticed how much Naomi Watts and Penelope Ann Miller look alike until this film!

8/10

The Accidental Tourist

Back in the 7th grade I chose to write my book report on the book this movie was based on. I went to the bookstore and The Accidental Tourist caught my eye as it had the poster from the film on the cover. I only got this book, because I recognized Geena Davis from A League of Their Own and Thelma and Louise and I loved both of those films. It was an exceptionally boring read, and to think that most of my classmates wrote their reports on books from the Mary-Kate and Ashley book series while I committed to reading this drag. The book put me off watching the film, and It took me this long to finally reach for it, and…surprise, surprise, I hated it just as much as my younger version hated that awful book.

‘A business traveler should bring only what fits in a carry-on bag. Checking your luggage is asking for trouble. – – Add several travel size packets of detergent so you won’t fall into the hands of unfamiliar laundries. There are very few necessities in this world which do not come from travel-size packets. – – One suit is plenty, if you take along travel size packets of spot remover. The suit should be medium gray. Gray not only hides the dirt, but is handy for sudden funerals. – – Always bring a book as protection against strangers. Magazines don’t last and newspapers from elsewhere remind you, you don’t belong. But, don’t take more than one book. It is a common mistake to overestimate ones potential free time and consequently overpack. In travel, as in most of life, less is invariably more. – – And most importantly, never take along anything on your journey so valuable or dear, that it’s loss would devastate you.’

4/10

This Changes Everything

Let me get this straight, they got a male to direct a documentary about how Hollywood doesn’t want to hire female directors? Also, Geena Davis is a queen, and I’m a fan of most of these actresses and filmmakers.

‘The basis of your thinking is determined by the first images you see; whose values are important and whose stories are important, and that’s what we’re teaching little girls and little boys.’ – Reese Witherspoon

10/10

Top of The Lake: China Girl

How did Elisabeth and Nicole shoot their scenes together, seeing how Scientologist aren’t allowed to talk to ex-Scientologists? While season one was incredible, this is a mess. I watched the first 4 episodes 3 years ago when the season came out, and it took me until today to finish it I saw season one was discounted at my local DVD store for £2 and I’ve decided to buy it I didn’t like the second season and I won’t ever be rewatching it. I just bought season 1 on DVD for an equivalent of £2, and I have no need to ever rewatch the second one, so it was no brainer really.

6/10

Ava

There’s one scene in this that’s extremely uncomfortable to watch and must have been painful for Jessica to film seeing that’s how her sister died. This film stars Jessica Chastain and Geena Davis, but the script is bad and they can’t save it.

5/10

Wildflower

First film ever watched on Amazon Prime Video. That’s right, I finally caved in. Little Reese Witherspoon and young Patricia Arquette star in a film about abuse. I hate how no one wanted to get involved at first and accepted the abuse as something some people just do.

7/10

A Private War

I wish they showed us something about her childhood, why she left the US and what drove her to do this scary job.

9/10

Timbuktu

After four months of free Mubi, it’s time to decide whether to keep my subscription or to cancel my membership. Mubi has offered me an entire year 50% off and even though I know I won’t have much time to watch films starting next month, I think It’d be dumb of me not to take it. This is a fine example of why I should keep it.

7/10

The Lost Room

Expires from Amazon Prime in a few hours. I’ve never even heard of this mini series before yesterday, but I’m a huge fan of Six Feet Under and Parenthood, so obviously I had to watch it. It reminded me of Locke and Key and I’m not sorry I spent 5 hours watching it.

7/10

Zing

Suitable for ages 7 and up? Are you kidding me, this is a creepy short about death. Brilliant, but not for little children.

Greys 13.19

That opening dialague between Mer and Amelia was a great start. Cross catched abdominal tuberculosis, while visiting India. Can we just appreciate the fact that Arizona said Grey is hot, using those words exactly? I was not happywith her almost scaring Nathan off calling Merder the great love story, that may have something to do with me never liking Derek in the first place.

I go al little dark and twisty, but then I come back.
Please don’t refer to your neice as my secret baby.
Before anything terrible happens.
Like watching your father get murdered when you’re five.
Or like watching your mother bleed out on the kitchen floor.
We’re more alike than we realize.
Cross, you can’t sleep here.
Cross, roll over baby.
I have operated through a miscarriage.
That’s not normal.
Let’s slay the monster then.
Come on, Maggie, move.
She needs a little time to adjust.
Oh and India for a month. No one noticed?
Your face twitched at Grey.
She’s hot.
They were the great love story. That girl’s heart beat for Derek Shepherd.
We’re dancing it out.

9.5/10

Bates Motel 5.06

Your mom, she died.
It says she took her own life.
No, she wouldn’t do that.
Why didn’t you tell me mom died.
Bullshit, she wouldn’t do that.
She had darkness in her.
It’s less stupid than eating pretend food.
Your mother suffered.
That’s why you created me when you were little.
Oh mother, what have I done.

7.5/10

Bates Motel 5.07

 

Norman burried Norma in the woods, ok.

I’ll be back for you as soon as I can. I promise.
I don’t think you’re healthy, Norman.
Did she kill herself?
Doctor Edward went missing over a year ago. He’s pressumed dead.
Norman has mental problems.
Please stay out of this mother.

10/10

Bates Motel 5.08

He dug her up.

3/10

Switched at Birth 5.10

You being back home, making photography, it’s just like the old days.
But you’re deaf.
Surgeons wear masks. You can’t be deaf and a surgeon.
You changed my life.
You came here 15 years too late.
I think that’s what I wanna do, advocate for kids.
And I’ll get to say, I knew him, he was my first love.
I’m sorry for all the times I’ve missed.
This has been an amazing 5 years.
I guess we’re all just really lucky.

10/10

American Crime 3.08

An episode that turned out to be the show’s last. I didn’t think for once that Lily Taylor’s character could be an abusive person. This reveal shocked me and sort of recompensated for how average this show was. I absolutely adored when she told her husband to take care of the son, he clearly doesn’t love, while she’s gone.

Her name was Shae.
Was she pregnant?
Where did this happen?
Her son arrived here a few days ago.
He showed us letters.
Women were assaulted.
She’s a homicide victim it’ll take a while.
Fuck you, seriously go fuck yourself.
I will be going to jail for two years.
He’s your son even if you don’t love him, you have to take care of him.

6/10

Pretty Little Liars 7.13

Who’s banging on the door.
You.
The Girl who accidentally had her phone on flight mode for most of The Girl who accidentally had her phone on flight mode for most of 9th grade.
Jenna Marshall.
Just write initials A D.
Namaste, bitch.
Caleb’s in the hospital.
Stay back, I said stay back.

6/10

The leftovers 3.01

The opening scene where Ivy gets killed by a drone was definitely shocking.

They were targeted by a military drone.
He was only thinking about one thing, escaping so that’s what he did. He escaped.
You never tell someone who is experiencing a delusion, they are delusional.

He looked like a madman.

How amazing would she be as a grandmother?
With a look of an escaped convict.
Norma told me Norman killed his dad.
Sometimes I see my mother when she’s not really there, sometimes I become her.
Come on Norma, you were not that drunk.
Norma Bates found in an apparent suicide.

4.5/10

This is Us 1.15

I think we were all shocked when Kevin left his play to calm Randall down during his anxiety attack. I’m really happy he has though, I love when a TV show prove that people can actually change and the depression talk was relatable.

Do I have issues, yes, but deep down I’m awesome.
You’re putting too much pressure on yourself son.
I have struggled with depression ever since I was a teenager.
Count all the extra painkiller I had left.
Any of that scares you?
No.
You never really talk about your dad’s death.
I can’t seem to, I’m not there yet.

4.5/10

Switched at Birth 5.08

Simone is back!

We have an electric bill??
I didn’t meet the Kennishes till I was 15.
I think most people are trying to say the right thing, they just don’t know how.
I’m basically getting paid for taking doctors out for lunch and let them hit on me.
Regina, my sponsor, because I’ve been so unhappy that I almost fell off the wagon last week.
This is my son, Carlton.
I’m the funky artist with a cool car.
it’s like I’m saying goodbye to being a kid.

5.5/10

Switched at Birth 5.09

Travis tells his mother her brother molested him, it’s one of the best episodes.

That’s the guy who did it.
Guess what, the brother you worship molested me.
She’s never going to believe me.
I know my signing wasn’t good last night. I was just so nervous.
He took me into the garage.
He’s not making this up.
You never saw it, and how could you not notice how things changed between us, whenever he was around.
That’s why I was angry, because you never learned my language.
It’s too late. I don’t need it now, I needed it when I was 12.
I was scared, I thought it was all my thought. I couldn’t tell you.
And he knew that all that’s why he took advantage of me. Because I was the deaf kid who didn’t tell his mom.
I was helpless.
I’m so sorry.
Please help me, please.
I think what he needs to hear is that you believe him.
I believe you.

10/10

Scandal 6.05

You say dance monkey, the monkey dances.
First rule of self defence, don’t get into the car.

4/10

The Good Fight 1.05

Everyone knows it’s the SVU vs Trump case. From the looks of it, NBC won’t show Trump’s episode, but SVU has been renewed for season 19 and that’s all that matters! This episode of The Good Fight had Elsbeth Tasconi and Matthew Perry’s character come back and Kathy’s brother from The Big C join the cast. We’ve also learned that Maya’s father may be framing her.

That would require your father turning on you.

3.5/10

American Crime 3.04

So my favorite storyline finished in episode 4? That’s a bummer.

I screwed guys in alleys because that was better than where I came from.
Your son did it to himself.

2/10

American Crime 3.05

I haven’t watched the first season, but this one is only slightly better.

Women get raped all the time.
It asks for work history, what If I don’t have any?
I don’t want to do this anymore.
He hit me.

2/10

American Crime 3.06

Episode 6 and Shay is dead. Season 3 seems to be very slow, but I thought It concluded really well.

I write them to God.
Minimum wage 7.50 an hour.

3/10

American Crime 3.07

Felicity Huffman’s character this season is amazing.

She failed her drug test.
You brought that crazy woman into this house!

6/10

Hollywood Darlings 1.04

Jodie lost a shitload of weight after Dancing with the Stars, she looks fantastic!

Fuck your minivan.
There’s a difference between yoga breathing and annoying asshole breathing.
I’m not your sweetheart.
Honey.
Why didn’t you tell me once I drive the fuck out of here, I can’t return it.
I don’t have time to deal with your crazy ass.
Two can’t play this game.
What would your one million followers say?

Where the hell is my SVU renewal? I still have Grace and Frankie, When Calls the Heart and American Crime to catch up on and Girlboss, Feud and When we Rise to start. I won’t watch anymore The Good Fight till June, same with Transparent.

Greys 13.18

Ellen Pompeo’s directing debut. Every time they mention Ellis Grey it makes my week. Maggie’s mom dies after Maggie pushes he too much. Richard met Maggie’s dad.

Tell Meredith not to what? Drink too much? Fall in love? She never finished that thought.
I’m really glad she found you.
Meredith, darling, you’re fired.
I’d like to pay my respect you Ellis. Where is she burried?
I love my mother enough not to say screw it and throw her down a damn drain.
She is a happy person, she’s cheerful, this will give her darkness.
I think about my mother’s not all the time.
Ellis never forgave me.
Tell Meredith not to be afraid.
Goodbye, mom.

7/10

Bones 12.10

Bud Bundy guest stars. Betty White is back and no longer an anthropologist. I was shocked when Brennan told Wendell he clearly doesn’t like being an anthropologist, considering he’s been here since season 5.

He played Bud Bundy on married with children for like 10 years. I love that show!
Sounds like Bud Bundy just threatened our victim.
Most people don’t love their jobs, they don’t even like them.
Please, Agent Andy, this needs to stay between the two of us.
I’ve never even been to Los Angeles.
You’re gonna love it. It’s a place of schemes and dreams and pros and cons, all about the show.
I couldn’t breathe if I didn’t do this anymore. I was so excited to write my dissertation because I loved what I was doing, and I couldn’t wait to keep learning.
You’re too smart to waste your life away on something that your heart isn’t in.
I like my job, but compared with you and the other interns.
There’s something bigger out there, you need to go after it while you still can.
You guys are like my family here.
That will not change.

7/10

SVU 18.13

Just a reminder that Olivia and her adopted son Noah are both children of rapists. This is why SVU is the best show. They haven’t mentioned Olivia being a child of rape since season 15 and it may have been a boring episode, but at least Olivia mentioned being a child of rape. Olivia spent the entire episode talking how there’s no such thing as rape gene, and then she clearly was concerned about Noah turning to one.

He said that he was born to be a rapist.
No, it’s not real and it’s ridiculous.
I did it okay, I raped her I was born this way. I was born to be a rapist.
You obviously didn’t tell Carissi about your father.
Did you turn into your father?
It repulses you, because you’re not a rapist.
My father was a rapist.
I’ll love you no matter what.

4/10

The Middle 8.18

Remember how exceptional the first 6 seasons were? Absolutely fantastic, this season? Not at all. At least Axl and Lexie hooked up. And the phone cracking was relevant. People crack their screens all the time.

Is this college or nursery home?
And then you were a teenager and you were just as delightful.

3.5/10

The Goldbergs 4.19

Prom was not even half as good as I expected.

The real Jackie.

The Goldbergs 4.20

What is happening to this show, this was boring.

Switched at Birth 5.07

I cried when Angelo said he’s proud of Bay.

I lost my biological dad the day I got switched, and then I lost him when he died, and thanks to you I just lost him again.
Ready?
I’m so proud of you.

5.5/10

Riverdale 1.08

My notes don’t explain how I gave it a 5, but I guess I enjoyed it.

Do you think you can walz in here with a bug infested trojan horse?
So you did to Poly exactly what you did to me.
A bou and a girl.

5/10

American Crime 3.01

Sandra Oh joined the cast. Are we supposed to be all in awe of this show, when it’s just a one long and much weaker SVU episode? Just like last season?

I want to arrest your pimp.
I sat here with kids your age, going through…You name it, they’re going through it.
Get them in, get them on a farm, get them working.
Don’t rush, go do your job.
Wanna hang out with me and my boyfriend?
Nah.
Go get your ass up, go do some work.
If you let me, I will do anything I can to help you.

4/10

American Crime 3.02

Lynette Scavo is the only precious one this season, and I know last season we were supposed to hate her, but I feel like thisyear, her character is going to be very likeable. The only storyline I’m not enjoying is the one with the teenage drug addict working on the farm. The storyline of a father looking for his son never gets old.

If there’s a good way to talk about exploitation.
They’re spraying pesticides while we work, cover your face or you’ll be breathing poison.
What do men do with women?
My son.
Yeah I’m pregnant.
Have you been pregnant before?
Yeah.
How did that pregnancy end?
It ended.
They were trapped inside?

4/10

American Crime 3.03

The show finally got interesting with the Raping Fields and they even went as far as opening the episode with rape. But where the fuck is Lili Taylor?

I’m asking if I can do something.
I’m pregnant again and I’m not gonna keep it.
I don’t care about the phone, I just wanted to use the camera.
Just in case.
He’s my son.
You know what they call the fields?
The Green Motel.
The bosses think they can do whatever they want to women.
They can do whatever they want, nobody cares.4/10

Bones 12.06

Are you looking for a praise for performing the most basic tasks?
While Greg is an adequate security guard.
This is exactly why you shouldn’t call me Bones.
Oh good, cause it happens all the time.
Brought her own healthy food in those little topaware containers.
Yeah, I know the type.
I’m like a forensic foodologist.
Vibrations of the anal.
You can’t hide from me, you lamber slut.
That was obviously meant for you, ogr.
I found proof that Zach didn’t kill the lobbyist.
You think I planted evidence?

Greys 13.14

Kudos to Greys for bringing the psychiatrist back! This was an awesome episode, especially Meredith remembering Ellis and Derek.

I don’t do reunions. I don’t need to do superficial conversation with a bunch of people I barely remember.
How can she suspend you, don’t you own the hospital?
Put your hand down, intern.
We now only have one good kidney between them.
The husband, the son of a bitch wants to give his kidney.
I don’t want to be reinstated unless Richard Webber is as residency director, Minnick goes.
It looked like an abduction, press conferences, we walked through the forrest with flashlights. It was all we thought about for years.
You just got to let it go ok, Jo?
Oh my god, he’s an abusive husband.
I don’t know. I would just be happy she’s alive.
They gave up on her, they just buried an empty box in the ground and moved on. Had lattes, saw movies, they just lived their lives and all while their daughter was out there walking around in the rain in pain and they will never forgive themselves for that.
They shouldn’t.
Meredith, go back, don’t waste another day.
I want to, but every time I try, I keep hearing my mother’s voice saying ‘Meredith, it’s Richard’.
Hi mom.
Hi Clairebear. Come sit with me. You can sit with me.
Looks like they’re getting their little girl back.
When Derek died there was one day, just one day where i didn’t know where he was. I pretended everytjing was going to be okay, but inside I wa going crazy.
You see how people turned out, if they realized their hopes and and dreams or if they have lost their hopes and dreams. Or maybe you see that they have found what we all should find, brand new hopes and dreams.

The plane scene was everything!

Every time we take a picture, they always say, okay, now one with just the twins.

I gotta get a handle on myself on the weight and all of it.
Don’t worry I booked both of the seats.
Here’s your seat extender.
Why is there a photo of me in a letter you sent to William’s apartment.
Your family is amazing.
I want every Thanksgiving to be like this for the rest of my life.

Switched at Birth 5.03

Thank God for the sexual assault storyline.

She lost her V card with him.
I can’t believe you made it to Paris before me.
Prom tux!
Prom tux!
Not so loud, Deaf girl.
What’s going on? Are you to friends? Oh my god.
How could you be with him after what he did to me?
I know what I said.You’re not allowed to forgive him for what happened to me!
Sometimes life happens.
So long, Schmingo.
Do we really have the right to be judging who your ex-girlfriend’s dating?
When she’s dating your rapist, we do.
How can you be with this guy after what he did to Bay?
Tell him to back off or I’ll do something I should have done a long time ago.
I’m so sorry I wasn’t there for you.
You were in China.
She was in so much pain and I wasn’t there for her.

Bones 12.05

We learn that Fisher had a thing for Brennan and wrote a fanfiction of them having sex and solving crimes together.

Boner Street.
Is Brennan really going to narrate her new book?
Contact lens. if we can pull his fingerprint off of it.
I myself spent time in foster care.
I have to record an audition.
I attended North-western.
I assure you, offence was taken.
More of an Adams Family kid?
Spiders, how about a warning.
Don’t ever take credit for how well I turned out.
A plot centred around a tormented intern who had an affair with his boss.
You’ve not only read my novels, you were once a devoted fan of them.
Despite your apathetic affectations, there are things in this life that bring you joy.

8.5/10

Nashville 5.08

Rayna’s attacker said everything we ever wanted to say to our favorite artist. Thanks for being there in my loneliest moments and understanding me when no one gave a crap.

I’m not going to a show with a creepy dude following me around.
I want to do my next album with you in the choir.
I got my period. I need new clothes. My clothes got all messed up.
I remember you and Rayna sneaking around when I was little.
I can’t believe Maddie called you.
I’m gonna push Highway 65 to sign you.
You’re not this angry kid anymore.
I wanted to tell you that you understand me better than anyone I’ve ever known.
How can that be true? I just met you.
That’s not true.
You met me the day I heard your first single on my Mom’s stereo back in West Memphis. You spoke to me in a way that I couldn’t speak to myself. You changed my life. You’ve known me for a very long time. And all I’ve ever wanted was to meet you.
It was given to me by an awful man. An alcoholic abuser like your husband.
Deacon’s not an abuser.
I wanted to talk to you ’cause I could see that you were different.
You weren’t like the ones that lie, and make fun of me behind my back.
Make up stupid excuses like I don’t know what’s going on.
You think you’re the only person who’s ever been abused in your life? I didn’t say that.
Well, I’ve got a story for you. And this is not something you’re gonna find on the Internet.
You wanna hear it? My father was a sociopath. Killed my mother, covered it up. And that happened when I was 12 years old. And I have to deal with that every day of my life. And then sometimes it gets to me, and I overcompensate with my husband. And in my business, and I say things to my daughters that I know deep down are just gonna make ’em want to run away from me. But it’s like I can’t help it. Cause that horror, it’s just right there at the surface. And I don’t want them to feel that.
And I don’t want them to think I’m feeling it. So I write songs and I sing them, cause that’s the only way I know how to deal with this pain that I carry inside me.
And that loser husband of mine? His daddy whipped him every single day. And that’s the same piece of crap that got him drinking in the fourth grade.
How is it we can be so awful to the people we love the most? That just makes me so angry.
Makes me so sad. I know you’re carrying that kind of pain too.
I see that.
But the only choice we have is we got to go on.
We can’t give in to that.
You give in to that, that evil man, he wins.
‘Cause that means he broke you just like he wanted to.
Now you being here right now, you’re giving in to it.
I have two daughters who need me, okay?
You’re working with Rayna James, right? 911 from her phone.
My husband goes by his middle name.
And that’s the same thing that got him drinking in the 4th grade.
I have two daughters.

I was pregnant 8 months, they killed my baby.
Sorry about your baby and Wes too.
Did you know her when she was pregnant?
She admitted she moved the body.
Wes was cremated.
I think Connor is the annonymous source this whole time.
That’s why we’ve been following you and trusting you. Because you said you knew what you were doing, but now one of us just got killed and we need to find out who did that.
You checked your voicemail.
You went to Annalise’s house that night, didn’t you?

Modern Family 8.16

Nathan Fillion and Jane Krakowski guest star yet again in one of the most plain and uneventful episodes of Modern Family. Mitchell goes on a tea brunch with Hayley and Nathan Fillion and Cam join them, meanwhile Gloria fights with Jane Krakowski’s character.

I will always be your friend, but I will not speak to you again.
Give me your belt.
I’m innocent.
You’re innocent.
I just wanted to see you suffer.
I’m innocent.
Tom couldn’t do it, which means Cyrus is innocent.

The Good Fight 1.04

Matthew Perry guest stars and complicates things and I don’t think we could care less. Are we supposed to ship Maia and Clarissa?  And Maia is bisexual, not gay? What a disappointment.

I guess it was.
Fuck you.

Congrats to SVU on 400 episodes!

Grey’s Anatomy 13.11

30 years to life.
That’s not even his case.
The pelvis is broken, trapping the baby’s head.
I was going to go home and tell my kids that daddy was a hero today.
How did it get from that to like everybody’s dying?
You’re not welcome on my case, and Webber, he’s a friend of mine.
Is she ok? Is she sober, at least tell me that.
Is this guy breathing funny.
I need to be two people. I need to Alex.
You saved that kid’s life.
Stuff like this happens and I’m built for it.
Amelia? Where’s Amelia? Where is everybody?
So you keep going, you don’t give up, you stand tall, you fight.
I miss Alex, I hate that he’s gone.
They hurt, they break, they bleed.

SVU 18.09

SVU serves another amazing episode, and the last two lines between

I think I’ve been raped.
Can you tell me what happened?
I can’t, I don’t remember anything.
The lab results came back and it shows two separate semen samples.
Are you saying two men raped me?
The sample is a familiar match.
Don’t worry dear I can afford it.
If they’re coming to the party, what do they expect?
When your grandfather sees someone younger than he is, getting somebody prettier than he gets, he can’t stand it.
Your mother was just pregnant with you, she was beautiful, radiant, he invited us to a party and he gave her a drink, a special drink.
Do you think this generation is better?
I don’t think this generation is any better, or different. It’s just younger.
Lieutenant Benson, SVU.

Nashville 5.07

Are we really ready to see Maddie dating a guy who lives in a basement-like apartment?

These are the facts, honey, the rest is just cheap whisky.
Where exactly were you when the cake burned?
An alarm went off.
Does it hurt… being in love?
But underneath the pain, my favorite hurricane.

Scandal 6.03

Meredith’s father better gets out of prison as this show cannot afford to lose Cyrus.

Why are you investigating Cyrus Bean?
I crawled across the lawn to get here, let me in.
They were sleeping together.
I’ll withdraw, if Mellie does. Let the country pick a new president.
What you called the most beautiful thing, I’m keeping it. It’s not safe in your hands.
I want to be the president of the United States.
You deserve to die more than anyone I’ve ever killed.
He confessed.
Mellie, you are the next president of the United States.
Cyrus, I want you to be the vice president.

How to get away with murder 3.12

In case of emergency.
They’re not coming? The kids.
The memorial’s today.
Keep coming for me, maybe I will murder somebody.
She just confessed to burning down the house with her brother in it.
Of course not, that would be illegal.
You honestly want me to believe you lost the body.
They lost his body that proves you’re being framed.
You said you didn’t believe me.
Do you think me and you up here had nothing to do with it?
He didn’t do it.
We are all crazy debating over who killed our friend.
You didn’t just neglect them, you molested them.
Take a picture.
Who the hell are you?
Beyonce. Who the hell are you?

The Good Place 1.12

I’m going to sit alone in my house watching wedding fails on the YouTube, drinking margaritas through a straw until I pass out on my vibrator.
Do you have a second to talk about the environment?
No bug off whale humper.
Is there a 7-Eleven on the way?
I’m talking Kristen Stewart on red carpet level of emotionless.
Eleanor is not currently in the bad place, we have no idea where she is.
This is not your bar mitzvah anymore, bitch, now it’s my 24th birthday.
I was disturbed particularly by starting fire in the mailbox to get the mailman to take off his shirt.
Oh your accomplices will go to the bad place instead.
We’re off the hook!

The Good Place 1.13

I cried when they restarted everything. This was an awesome season finale to a so-so show.

You do realise the bad place is not exactly a couple of the retreat.
This is the bad place.
We’ve been torturing each other.
Hey, now this is the bad place.
Side note, I might legit be into Tahani.

Congrats to Greys, How to Get Away and Scandal on joining The Middle among the shows we’ll see next year!

Greys 13.12

It seems ridicoulous for DeLuca to drop the charges, Karev injured his eye for Christ’s sake. How can you just forgive him to save a girl you have a crush on. Just wait how mad he’ll get when she goes back to Karev. They actually replaced Grey with Kepner as the chief of General Surgery as Meredith gets suspended. We meet Maggie’s mom and they rob us of the moments she met Webber and Meredith. At least Meredith loves her. Meanwhile, a woman is stuck in a razor wire and Hunts cuts himself on it as he tries to calm her down.

I’m dropping the charges
Has he threatened you?
I get a star what I do play nice with others.
Maggie your mom is here.
Arizona and I are already old friends.
She told on me?
Then you no longer have an OR.
You’re suspended.
Bailey took out Grey.
Look at the hospital sign. Grey seems untouchable.
I just lost mine.
I need to introduce him to my mother.
Did Shepherd got canned too?
Then you get Meredith Grey suspended?
You’re Maggie Pierce’s mom so yes.
Your mom’s in the kitchen.
My mom? She met you without me. You met?
I’m in love with her, the woman’s incredible. I’m going to binge watch TV tell her she can move in.
Karev? He’s in prison.
Why did she leave though?
Bailey already found the new chief of General?
Bailey replaced you with Kepner.

10/10

The Middle 8.13

Shockingly, even The Middle has bad days.

I feel like anything I say here is going to be wrong, so you wanna just hug me?
The paved the bump.
Do you weirdly feel like you want to eat a lot of ice cream?
I weirdly do.

SVU 18.10

Congrats to SVU on 400 episodes! Sadly, this was one of the weakest, they should have left it off with the son being a perv.

He’s my son’s best friend.
You sexually assaulted him about 10 times.
Nothing natural healthy about statutory rape.
She’s Borderline.
He was standing there, masturbating.
What my mum said about me, It’s a lie.
I know that.

How to get away with murder 3.11

I killed Wes, tell Annalise I’m sorry.
I trusted you to get me out on bail.
Frank turned himself in.
I know what it’s like to be scared of Annalise.
He knows about Sam, I told him.
You need to put it on Frank.
They don’t like gay people there.
They charged Frank as you co-conspirator.

9/10

Nashville 5.05

Write ‘Their friends are sitting over there’.
I’m sorry I’m not comfortable with that.
You’re bipolar.
The only thing holding you back is you.
Maddie tells us you’re a musician.
Not like you, I play some country and blues.

2.5 / 10

Nashville 5.06

I don’t care if he’s green blue or purple.
I want toMake a gospel album gospel and spiritual.
We have big plans for you.
Daphne, I’m a friend off Rayna.
You don’t know my mum.

Scandal 6.02

I dodn’t realize Mellie’s middle name was Margaret. Same as Olivia Benson, and oh right, me. I’ve always hated that name, but now I’m getting to being okay with it.

I want you to join me as vice president.
Mary Margaret Grant.
I’m pretty sure it’s just love. I have gone without it all this time. Can you believe I went for so long never feeling. Is this what you felt with Fitz, because if it is, I understand. You should have it.
You can’t be the person who destroys every single relationship I have.
Good luck getting back to the White House.
We don’t have a candidate anymore.
Over my dead body.

The Simpsons 28.11

Loved the McDonalds reference, I only made it through 5.5 days myself. The episode is disappointing, unfortunately it’s not thant uncommon recently.

I thought you would say grandpa died.
The meeting isn’t over yet.
I got turned down by McDonald’s.
You are imagining mayonnaise doctors?

2/10

Switched at birth 5.01

I’m not really into that China thing. I thought it was pretentious last year, and it still is. And to learn the language as hard as Mandarin just by living in China for 8 months is ridiculous. I’m unhappy about Bay working as a tattoo artist as it does not seem realistic. They should shave shown her pursuing art, painting benches and having her little art projects, only a few artists go into tattooing. I really admired Emmett’s storyline up until the point Melody said he was depressed. Can’t he just fail without turning it into a mental breakdown? I hated how snobby he was all last season talking about his big film projects and never failing once. I guess they’re gonna move him back to Kansas and I’m actually okay with that. No parent is as concerned about their child’s depression as Melody is in this episode and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels sad and betrayed by this episode. I couldn’t care less about Travis and Bay, I think they work fine together, so it’ll be a waste when Bay and Emmett get back together.

I’m gonna work at a tattoo parlor.
Where do you think Travis was living those 8 months.
Pre-med classes are closed.
I know for a fact that he was rejected from all the big festivals.
He was always talking about how things were so much better in high school and how life will never be as good as it was back then.
I shouldn’t have made a movie about what happened to you.
I thought it was going to open all these doors for me but it didn’t.
Why don’t you move in here?
Do you remember your uncle? He commited suicide.
He was this thriving, funny, ambitious kid and then in the course of a year, when he was around your age, he changed. He would just suddenly feel deeply profoundly lonely and he didn’t know why or how to stop it. And then it turned into a tragedy.

9/10

Riverdale 1.01

What really caught my attention was the wonderful narration of the show. I’ve done my share of radio work and honestly, this is the material a radio person or a voice actor would want to work with. Just try reading these five lines:

‘Our story begins as that’s what the Blossom Twins did that summer.
A week later the Blossom family buried an empty caskett.
He was looking for the girl next door, instead he found me.
It was a town of shadows and secrets now.
On Tuesday, halfway through 5th period,the first arrest would be made.’

I personally loved these lines, shout out to you, Riverdale for doing such a good job. I will stick around for the lovely scenography for example in scenes like: where the Blossom twins hold hands or get out of the car with their red haid and Cheryl’s red shoes. It was aesthetically pleasing.

Another thing worth mentioning, Betty squeezing her fists so hard, her nails left bloody marks on her hands, plus she’s on Aderral.

By the rivers Edge.
I dropped a glove in the water and Jason reach down to get it accidentally tipped the boat and panicked and drown.
Don’t rush this time, Betty, it goes by so fast at your age. One summer can change everything.
Sunday night, thank God for HBO.
Wonderful, 10 minutes in and I’m already the Blue Jasmine of Riverdale High.
We heard fireworks.
He was shot.

7.5/10

Riverdale 1.02

The episode was much much worse than the first one.

Watch it, Wednesday Addams.
Most of the time the people we like, don’t like us back.
Oh little Archie,we’re too young. Ask me when I’m 18 and I’ll say yes.
Get the hell out of my house before I kill you.
Why were you so against them being together.
Did you and Donnie Darko kill him together?
Jason died over a week later.

3.5 / 10

Riverdale 1.03

Girls took down school players, it all felt forced and unnecesary.

Polly’s in this book, next to Jason.
You want to be a bad girl like a sister Polly was.
Archie has talent, unquestionable.
I am soundproofing the garage.
You became another person.
If he hurt Polly, I’m sorry.
I saw Miss Grundy’s car by the river.
