Season 27 of The Simpsons may have been the weakest yet, but that hasn’t stopped us from having fun. This season Marge and Homer’s relationship was put to test, fortunately at the end it was revealed Homer was just sleeping through their therapy session and it was all a dream, Marge flying to space with Lisa and proving to be the best in all the chores, Bart was killed by Sideshow Bob and The Simpsons went on a trip to Great Canyon episode with Flanders and his kids.

This is how I rated the show over the last 8 months.

1. 8
2. 3.5
3. 2.5
4. 4
5. 3.5
6. 3.5
7. 5.5
8. 2.5
9. 2
10. 3.5
11. 5
12. 3.5
13. 5.5
14. 0.5
15. 5
16. 5.5
17. 10
18.6
19. 10
20. 4.5
21. 2.5
22. 9

Giving us a total of 105.5 points, divided by 22 episodes = 4.8

Some of the best episodes of the season included episode 17 – focusing on Mr. Burns ; and episode number 19 when The Simpsons accompanied by Flanders went on a trip to the Grand Canyon.

The funniest moments and quotes of the season include:

  • Homer’s ‘No one outfats me.’
  • Homer taking a picture of his car to remember where he parked, unfortunately he didn’t think to take a picture of the floor and the parking space number.
  • Smithers being more obsessed with Mr Burns than ever, and Mr Burns blindly saying things like ‘Smithers come up from my rear and grab me.’ could not make it any easier on him, even though he wasn’t complaining.
  • Homer was using his newfound medical condition, narcolepsy as an excuse to everything, and Mr Burns tolerating it not to get sued or something.
  • Marge taking on everyone who’s to lazy to wash their hair everyday, so all of us saying ‘Doesn’t look like she uses that much shampoo either’.
  • ‘Sleeping through our therapy session.’ I mentioned above.
  • ‘The Gilbert family has learnt a valuable lesson. Screw everything.’
  • Apu’s ‘Buddism is really just quitting in yoga pants.
  • Flanders ‘Halloweening The Simpsons’s house’
  • ‘Yes, there are intruders in my basement. Do I have the right to shoot?’ – Fun fact, I have a friend who actually did this, asked the police if he has the right to restrain a guy who attacked him a few days prior and let me just say he ended up with a black eye.
  • Lisa briefly went goth
  • When Homer doodled on official report
  • Homer got a nice seat as people thought he was pregnant.
  • Marge’s conversation about a lady not seeing a single episode of Friends. ‘She’s never seen an episode of Friends.’Even The one with…”No.’
  • ‘Swipe left on that accusation.’ is a phrase we all need to start using
  • When Homer misinterprets yoga class for yogurt class, if only they actually showed it to us ‘I thought it was yogurt class’
  • When Mr Burns dictated his autobiography ‘I’m dictating my autobiography’
  • When Homer couldn’t calculate taxes right ‘The Government owes us 2 million dollars’ ‘Check again’ ‘We owe them 37 dollars’.
  • ‘20% which is what your phone needs to stay in the green’ is another phrase I will start using
  • When Lisa CPR’d a racoon ‘While dozens of unheroic onlookers just stood around’
  • ‘Moms spend their whole lives obsessing over unlikely catastrophes. In space, that’s what you’re supposed to do.’
  • They made a Downton Abbey sketch while the song Downtown played
  • Homer running after an ice cream truck yelling ‘Ice cream! Come back, don’t make me jog’
  • Lisa summing up Homer and Bart as ‘A husband who rarely shows up to work.
    A son that is headed for the chair’
  • Homer wrongly correcting Flanders ‘In America it’s pronounced ‘job’.
  • When we were told to ‘Collect at every age’ and ‘As seen in this episode’
  • When Homer said ‘The most glorious sign is Toilet’
  • Lisa reading a book titled ’10 000 places to see before you’re 10′ I’m sure most of us have seen maybe 2 or 3 of those.
  • The always relatable ‘I’d never think there’s be something I’d want to stare longer than that car wreck on the way here’
  • Homer again saying what we all think ‘I can’t stand rich people.’
    Homer’s ‘Jeez Flanders. You find God in everything’
  • When Homer gave Lisa Annabelle the doll as a present
  • Homer kicking and screaming at a vending machine for speaking French ‘Stop speaking French!’
  • When The Simpsons threw shade on Barbara Streisand ‘Barbara Streisand once forgot the words to a song and didn’t perform for 3 decades’
  • When Marge went to jail
  • ‘Silvester Alone’
  • Milhouse’s ‘I could have married a woman who didn’t look exactly like me, but that would’ve been crazy’
  • When Chief Wiggum did not understand it was his son who got lost
  • And the most important, when they assured us that ‘The Simpsons will never end’

The show averaged at either 4 or 3 throughout the whole season.Falling beyond 4 at episode 8, and getting significantly better at episode 16.

Looking at the numbers from last year,

The average rating of Season 26 was 6.8

Here’s the link to my last year’s rating:

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

SVU 17.22

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

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

3/10

Bates Motel 4.08

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

5/10

Bates Motel 4.09

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

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

4/10

The Middle 7.22

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

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

10/10

Nashville 4.19

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

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

5.5/10

Castle 5.19

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

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

7/10

Faking It 3.10

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

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

2/10

The Simpsons 27.22

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

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

Time for reviews. Some of the last ones this year.

Greys 12.23

Meredith finally hooked up with the kiwi boy! Unfortunately Ellen said not to get our hopes up. Which I did, the minute he was introduced. No one else would ever be this suitable to be McDreamy 2.0. This episode gave me the awkward cringy feeling that Shonda may try to get Meredith and Alex together which is awful cause they’re basically brother and sister. And she already did that with Izzie and George and we remember how well that turned out. Owen sold Derek’s trailer without asking Meredith. And now he’s marrying Amelia one episode after they got engaged. In the meantime, Jo refused to marry Alex, and I am honestly not even bothering to guess why. I never liked Jo. Meredith told Amelia to stop being so confident and cocky and copying Derek, and I don’t even think that was unnecessary. After 12 years we finally got to see the exact way from the ORs to the gallery and it was satisfying after I lost the sense of what the hospital looks like after they introduced the enormous set of stairs a few episodes back.

Now you even have his confidence. Get your own life.
You’re hot, you’re smart, you’re funny.
You’re gonna be my best man.
Then hell, I say go for it.

8.5/10

The Good Wife 7.19

A funny episode. I have a feeling we’ll miss this show next year. Mondays will feel a lot empty without The Good Wife.

You will not embarrass my husband.
Your honor.
Your worship.
What?
Your worship.
Could you live in Canada?
We request asylum.
3 years.
Oh my god.

6/10

The Good Wife 7.21

Why did they destroy the whole floor at the very end of the show? Was that really necessary? Diane ruined her relationship with Kurt right before Alicia buried it completely. For a one-to-last episode it was extremely disappointing, but so was the series finale.

No I mean construction.
What construction?
They had the wrong floor.
We should expand to the 29th floor.
Kurt, I’m sorry.

4.5/10

Faking It 3.06

Why is everyone so sex crazed in this high school?

Stop fucking my mom.
Are you saying you would do her under different circumstances?
Hello boyfriend, you just got back from the gym?

3/10

The Family 1.08

Finally a great episode. So the girl who was sleeping with her brother on Private Practice is just as much of a psycho as her boyfriend?

We’ll check if there’s any sex offenders in the area.
There’s one.
Really?
How close?
Close.
You need a friendly neighborhood pedophile.
You would be sitting in the corner slitting your wrists.
Mom, why?
You’re my son.

10/10

The Family 1.10

How old are you?
19.
Nice to be here.
Why is that?
Irony.
The dirty inmates.
That’s when they clean the dirty.
What’s in the bag?
The rest of my life.
You’re gonna tell everyone that I id this.
He would have to admit that he had two kids down there.
There was a boy 12 years ago when we used to live.
Monsters don’t remember names. Girl scouts do.
Do you think Adam would have liked this?
We lost a child.
And you have two left.
I hang out with sexual predators and we meet on Monday evenings and swap stories and play softball.
Our lives are screwed.
I googled it. When you’re younger, you bounce back, kids are plastic.

10/10

The Family 1.12

This is exactly why you don’t watch shows at work, I missed the most important thing! And then read about it online! Spoilers ahead, do not continue if you don’t want to know how the whole series ends. I missed the part when the pedophile’s wife heard someone kicking in the shed and her finding Adam is still alive and getting him out of there! I thought they already got to Canada and she was shocked to see a shed next to the house, as she knew him kidnapping a boy would happen again. So I continue watching while working and then suddenly the pedophile lays shot in the woods, uhm what? And then at the very end Adam tells Ben he’s coming home. I missed the whole pedophile’s girlfriend/Adam alliance. The real Adam was in the shed the whole time. I am pissed. I need to watch the ending again.

I don’t care if he had an elephant.
That was Adam, I am Ben.
For 10 years he was ket there like an animal. It’s not his fault he became one.
It’s a desire that you know you shouldn’t have but you want it anyway.
That’s rape.
Wanting it doesn’t make you a monster. Taking it does.
It’s some other kid taken even before Adam was taken.
You took my life, I’m coming to get it back.

10/10

The Simpsons 27.20

Homer gave Lisa Annabelle the doll as a present. Witty and fun as the Simpsons go to France.

Chubby dude in a tiny car.
Stop speaking French.

4.5/10

The Simpsons 27.21

You forget most of that’s hair.
Barbara Streisand once forgot the words to a song and didn’t perform for 3 decades.
I’m kidding The Simpsons will never end.

2/10

The Catch 1.07

So Penny from Lost (‘Not Penny’s boat’) is now Alice’s therapist, that can’t end well. Still not into this show and couldn’t be more shocked that it got renewed.

Black dot means I need help but It’s dangerous to ask.
Tell her everything or you’re wasting your time.

Castle was cancelled, at least they won’t have to kill Beckett off.

Nashville was cancelled too, after escaping death the last three years.

Grandfathered was cancelled.

The Family was cancelled after just one season! I know ratings were bad, but the show itself isn’t.

And The Catch was surprisingly renewed.

I’ve lost especially lot shows this year. It started with Downton Abbey, then The Good Wife, then it was announced Bones is ending next year, then Switched at Birth and now all these.

Reviews of this year’s seasons will be posted with my ratings the minute all the shows go on hiatus.

I’m picking out new shows to watch over summer. Sure I’m excited for Scream, but other than that there’s only Pretty Little Liars. Since you know, Orange is the New Black is a one day thing. I haven’t seen Grace and Frankie yet and I’m trying to figure out which shows to start this summer. I’m thinking Weeds, Awkward, The Goldbergs and catching up on Ray Donovan. I definitely want a few more as that’s the only way I can survive work. I tried watching Buffy, but I just wasn’t interested like the other 5 times I started watching it. Episode 2 and I was already unimpressed. I will probably watch something from Netflix, Rake, Miss Fishers Mysteries and we’ll see what else. I wanted to give Everwood a try but it was just as boring as Summerland. I will probably catch up on 90210, I stopped watching after season 3. I’m afraid I won’t find a new show and I’ll be stuck rewatching the 75 shows I’ve followed over the years.

Speaking of shows I’m not watching, I watched that episode of CSI:Cyber that had Spencer Locke in it and it was quite good. Spencer is the only ex-teen actress who’s career I’ve been following since Resident Evil 3 circa 2007, from project to project (she was amazing in Landmine Goes Click, a great rape-revenge horror). I gave the episode 8.5/10, but it did not convince me to start watching the show, it was just cancelled too.

Castle 8.18

I am starting with Castle this week, because as you saw above, it has been cancelled. This episode was actually fun. Some of them just are, as this is more of a comedy show than a crime series. It focuses around Aladin and Castle is all over Jin’s lamp. How did they even do research for this episode?

And had her beheaded so no other man can have her.
Story teller inside me.
He was a tomb rider.
He found Aladin’s lamp!
Don’t say that he wished for it.
I need to start making a wish list.
Can you make sure she gets the dibs on first rub?
Whatever clearly legal endevour you’re engaging in.
I really wish…
You did have the time to creep over to the lamp to rub the lamp, and wish upon the lamp.
Make belief time with Castle.
Your reality challenged husband.

10/10

Greys 12.21

Since when are there so many stairs? And since when is the hospital painted red? I really thought it was the court’s building, not the hospital! Shonda’s shows are always sex crazed, last episode was about Stephanie and her naughty sex life with the patient and this week everyone saw Owen’s package. I really hope Bailey doesn’t divorce Ben. Arizona is my favorite character since Meredith took Callie’s side.

Tucker had a fit.
Very PG, nothing like we saw this morning.
Did you hear about the fake leg? I’m probably not the best runner in a crisis.

8.5/10

Bates Motel 4.07

With my stepfather.
Have you been sleeping with him!?
Don’t embarrass yourself by lying to me.
If I’m near the person who makes me feel comfortable and whole and safe.
We’re gonna start with 3 sessions per week.
Alex please, please, please.
You brought me a big beautiful TV and I screwed it up.
Welcome home.
Thank you, mother.

7.5/10

Nashville 4.18

We’re saying goodbye to Nashville and this is what they show us? I know they booked Elton John for episode 4.20, but the story lines are just awful this season. Maddie is a brat, I can’t believe she got emancipated. Also little Daphne just lost a recording contract thanks to Maddie. I bet Rayna will make her wait till she’s 18 to sign her independently.

My song is on the radio! My song is on the damn radio!
Glen, tweet whatever you want from my account.
It only works cause we’re the exes.
And then you finally heard it and it doesn’t matter anymore?

5.5/10

The Middle 7.22

The Middle has 24 episodes this season? I’m impressed. It’s the most underrated comedy show out there, and it’s sad that so little people watch it. Season 7 was a challenge, since both Axl and Sue are out of high school, and let’s be honest there’s only so many things you can come up with to do in college. High school years were always fun, especially for Sue. But then when you think about it, Sue makes even college cool. I mean Axl’s story lines are always so boring, just what college years are for people. There’s always something happening with Sue, even though I feel like there could be even more.

Who even eats lettuce. A rabbit?
Wait we used to have a rabbit. Where’d that rabbit go?
I’m paying it forward, backward and sideway.
She said she forgot to set the DVR to record Castle.
Such a clever show.
If there’s anyone who belolngs is a country themed amusment park it’s you.
And you’ll be there with Brad.
How the hell am I failing my psych class?
You see the list? Scroll down till you get to Castle.

7.5/10

The Family 1.11

Only the ‘understanding a pedophile and a sex crime victim parts are good. No one cares about the election. In this episode the extremely annoying and slutty reporter found Ben’s biological mother, while Claire found out it was Ben who killed Adam.

None of this makes me a kidnapper, at most it makes me a country song.
Just enough to build your trust, so it was confusing when he crossed the line.
We both know how this is gonna end for me. It’s not in a hug.
Sex offenders registry. It’s a national database. You gotta do it yearly.
They notify your employer.
Because I watched your son too.
I know why you’ve been weird or depressed or whatever.
How do you know. That I’m gay?
I think I just came out to you.
Ben looked at the man who took my son and he let him go.
He didn’yt kill Adam. Ben did.
I’m Adam.
I’m Hank.
What was his name? Your little boy?
Ben.

10/10

Grandfathered 1.21

The show started off nicely, and now it’s a mess. I am only happy that Paget and John’s characters are getting together! And I Josh Peck is hilarious, check him out on Vine.

Oh my God, he looks like Glen Close.
He would have liked my family.
One of the guests is wearing a Tshirt that says Gremlins 2 now on VHS.

2.5/10

When Calls the Heart 3.05

I still haven’t seen the season finale and I only finished watching 3.07 this week. This just shows how uneventful this show is.

I always thought it would be easy to be a writer.
It’s much easier to think of yourself as a writer than it is to sit down and write.
The whole world will be my stage.
Every heroine needs an annoying neighbor.
You do know that moving pictures are silent?

4/10

Scandal 5.18

I just wrote about Landmine Goes Click being a good example of rape and revenge genre. In this episode we found out Jake’s father used to molest his sister, so Jake used Ronan’s training to avenge his sister.

What kind of a bout allows his sister to be raped?

3.5/10

Scandal 5.19

What happened to this show this season? I want the election already, and I want Mellie to win.

You can come work for me, little Abby.

4.5/10

The Simpsons 27.19

What a fun episode.

In America it’s pronpunced ‘job’.
Collect at every age.
As seen in this epiosde.
The most glorious sign. ‘Toilet’.
10 000 lace to see before you’re 10.
I’d never think there’s be something I’d want to stare longer than that car wereck on the way here
You’re 180?
That’s what my blood pressure says.
I can’t stand rich people.
Billioners retreat.
Let’s think about it quietly.
Jeez Flanders. You find God in everything.
Big Maggie.

10/10

The Catch 1.01

It’s a pretty boring show, and the only reason I’m still watching is who they cast as the leads. Mireille Enos and Peter Krause. My mom always says Lauren Graham’s boyfriend is so handsome, my dad says that’s Adam and I am happy to see Linden back on my screen.

He never looks at the camera.
He doesn’t ask for anything, so you give him everything.

5.5/10

The Catch 1.02

She paints over the edges.
A 75 year old man. He died the day we met.

3/10

The Catch 1.03

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

7/10

The Catch 1.04

Getting worse with each episode.

It was real and I love you.

6/10

The Catch 1.05

Ben, my name is Ben. Benjamin Jones.

5.5/10

The Catch 1.06

2.5/10

Faking It 3.07

So awful I’m glad it’s only 20 minutes long.

Pretty sure go fuck yourself means we’re done talking.

0.5/10

Faking It 3.08

Why am I still watching this awful show? I keep complaining about it every week and yet I still watch it.

Just pick bisexual so we can have Christmas.

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

SVU 17.18

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

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

4.5/10

SVU 17.19

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

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

9/10

Shameless 6.11

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

10/10

Shameless 6.12

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

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

10/10

Younger 2.12

Extremely disappointed with this finale.

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

3/10

When Calls the Heart 3.02

There’s not a cuter show than this one.

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

8/10

The Simpsons 27.15

While dozens of unheroic onlookers just stood around.

5/10

The Simpsons 27.16

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

5.5/10

The Simpsons 27.18

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

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

6/10

Scandal 5.13

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

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

9.5/10

Scandal 5.14

Abby taking what’s hers.

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

6/10

Scandal 5.15

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

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

10/10

Scandal 5.17

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

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

6.5/10

The Good Wife 7.16

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

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

8.5/10

The Good Wife 7.18

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

10/10

Bates Motel 4.01

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

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

9.5/10

Bates Motel 4.02

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

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

6.5/10

Nashville 4.11

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

10/10

Nashville 4.12

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

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

10/10

Thirteen 1.03

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

9/10

Thirteen 1.04

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

9.5/10

The Family 1.05

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

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

5.5/10

The Family 1.06

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

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

7.5/10

The Family 1.07

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

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

9/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.19

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

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

Even though I love Amy Brenneman and Brad Siberling (hello, Moonlight Mile!) I am not starting Heartbeat. The pilot felt like Grey’s wannabe and we remember how Melissa George’s character got kicked out of the program. It’s Sunday, my notebook is full of notes and reviews, so here we go.

Some great news to start off, Melissa McCarthy has joined Gilmore Girls revival! Sookie’s back!

Shameless 6.08

Missing Shameless already. I though the guy was a pedophile, but pregnant woman fetish is gross too. I’m glad Debbie is no longer with that psycho family. The foot massage was too much, shameless, but very unnecessary.

I need a scary looking black man.
Wish I’d gotten into this business a long time ago.
You were singing that gay song.
Indeed I was.
Frank Gallagher 35 years ago!
The fuck I am, Grannie Quinnie.
Frank Jr.
Why is a man in Indiana shitting his pants.

10/10

Shameless 6.09

I was so happy when I saw Mandy! But she’s an escort now and killed a man. Lip being shocked about her driving a jeep and Ian not telling him where Mandy works, so he can be proud of her was absolutely incredible, and one of my favorite scenes this season. What’s with the commune living though?

Are you going to support Debbie as she unschools her way through life?
I met him through my service, escort.
Maybe something that doesn’t involve feces.
My nephew watches it on youtube.
You know that just because we were born here doesn’t mean that we end up here.
Is that her Jeep in the driveway?
Yeah, she found a job.

10/10

The Middle 7.18

Frankie saying her parenting skills are better then Nancy’s was amazing! And when Mike realized Sue’s no longer a child, too! I want some caramel popcorn balls too! Sue’s 19teen.

Just cause some of us have it down better than others.
I’m not done telling you how I’m a better parent than Nancy.
Brad and I got summer jobs at Dollywood.
Inappropriately touching a bunch of old guys an making their day.
Caramel popcorn balls.
But he couldn’t stop a woman.

7.5/10

Castle 8.12

Best Saw like episode of the season. Plane was last year right?

Wait what’s going on in that van? Is that my dad?
We had our best person on.
The guy is abducted like what twice a year?
He’s really good at what he does.

9/10

How To Get Away With Murder 2.14

It took me a while to watch the finale April 9th to be exact, and it was disappointing just like the whole season.

Eve’s’Did he hurt you?’ were the exact words Alex used 3 weeks later when he got 911 call from Maggie about Meredith on Greys.

Originally Mexico, I lived in Florida before law school.
We’re all bad people, that’s all we have in common.
What is this, a homeless shelter?
And then play us like little puppets.

7/10

Younger 2.09

Kelsey, I do get when an avocado post gets more likes than something more valuable, because for a long time, that was me. Also, in this episode a guy is *ing a sheep, so… um wtf?

More young creatives.
My avocado post got more likes.
She’s having an argument with an Uber driver about the ring.
It looks like I’m engaged to myself.

5.5/10

Younger 2.10

How did you like this season? It was light, but good.

I think he shares an assistant with a bunch of other guys. (I bet he does)
I’m not some emo teen who just lost their virginity.
Either you tell her or I will.

5/10

Younger 2.11

I hated Chad, I’m glad he’s gone, but they haven’t pulled such tragic deaths on Sex and the City, so wtf?

I’m tired of skinny jeans, but you just take a deep breath and hang in there.
Liza Miller is your mom?
Oh please tell me you’re not her new boyfriend.
Ice T
You can tell everyone about me, I don’t care. She deserves to know who she’ll be spending the rest of her life with.

3.5/10

The Simpsons 27.17

‘Excellent’ episode.

…Married to Homer.
Why am I on this? Swipe.
Finally I’m payed to act.
I’ll be in my trailer.
This isn’t Fiji water.
Someone’s using it for unmerry purposes.
Fishing license.
I’m dictating my autobiography.
Release. Release. Release!
That sounds vaguely sexual.
The Government owes us 2 million dollars. We owe them 37 dollars.
20% which is what your phone needs to stay in the green.
Excellent.

10/10

Thirteen 1.01

What a great show! It makes living in the UK bearable. Everyone who watches SVU will love it! But why on Earth did they name the male lead Elliot. Come on, try not to look like SVU.

There’s never been am escaped captive in the UK.
There’s a girl. It could be Ivy.
Bastard bleached the place.
The DNA’s come back as Ivy’s.
A hand on my neck pulled me back into a van.
Everything has changed but us.
He’s taken another girl.

10/10

The Family 1.02

I was enjoying this show until it turned out it’s not Adam.

They say once you’ve left home, you can never go back.
That’s for Adam, he never got sweets down there.
I was wearing these when he took me.
I need to touch the walls.
I need back up. I found a metal door. It’s the Adam Warren investigation.
The suspect is here and he’s burning the evidence.
I’m not the same person I was
so am I.
Yeah, but you have a good excuse.
So do you.

9/10

The Family 1.03

The idea of chipping sex offenders is game changing!

Once every 7 sleeps.
I regret all those years complaining about Wifi being slow.They should be chipped.
You can’t look at me, I’m your sister.

4/10

The Family 1.04

Second child went missing.
Is that him? Is that the men who took you?
He lost Adam so he found himself a new one.
Do you think he’ll do it though? Take another one?
The always do.

4/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.18

This half season is excruciating. I honestly have 5 episodes to watch and no desire to sdo so. I have also accidentally ruined the spring ending for myself – thanks TV Guide, so now I’m even less excited about watching them. I will try to watch them on Netflix when I’m off tomorrow.

Did they abort the baby? Or was it just a false alarm, I don’t remember at this point. What is wrong with being a cop? It’s a perfectly respectable job. I know that Toby did some one month long Mickey Mouse course, that would never pass as a cop course, but still, he’s a cop. Who needs college is they want to be a cop? Aria getting burned was just too predictable and fake. Makes me realize what everyone has been saying for the last two years at least, that this show has been on too long. I don’t know why I gave this episode so many points. I must have been tired.

There’s probably one of your beanies still in there.
Cause being with a cop is not good enough?

Anyone who googles them for the rest of their lives will know that their father is a pedophile.

Men who do this have to hide it. They get very good at hiding.
I slept with him for 12 years.

how to get away with murder, svu, tv show reviews, tv shows reviews

Fuller House has been renewed for season 2! After just 5 days! Are you guys just loving it?

Since I’m going on a holiday this Saturday, here’s part 1 of the remaining reviews.

Greys 17.11

The little Kepner wanting to have 3 children was adorable. Why on Earth didn’t she say she was pregnant? I honestly never could stand Avery, now it’s pure hate.

3/10

SVU 17.10

A case about a tacher sleeping with her students, meanwhile a wrestling coach sexualy assaults boys.

Danger of getting laid.
There are two predators in the same school.
Predators know who to pick on.
I woke up, because his mouth was on me.
It wasn’t your fault. It was nothing. It didn’t mean anything. You were drugged and your body reacted.
Whatever he may have made you do.
He’s the kid who got it from the wrestling coach.

SVU 17.11

One of the best episodes this season where Olivia goes to the house of a family her babysitter works for, and ends up being one of the hostages. The 16 year old daughter is raped, and Olivia once again cannot stop the rapist. The mother then calls and asks how are their kids and they answer they#’re okay but no one tells her her daughter has been raped. The girl’s brother was screaming Somebody help her, Make him stop’ which made it excrutiantly painful.

I just yelled ‘Stop police!’, but I’m not police.
All you have to do this go in there.

10/10

SVU 17.16

Liv and Tucker, seriously? Remember when he was always on hers and Elliot’s asses and basically hated them both? A vlogger gets raped and Rollins does something very stupid. Why would she risk being raped for one victim? They should have had one of her followers attack her, not some random pseudo celebrity. We all knew the new sergeant would run the place, just because of his daddy, and Liv would be left behind.

I’m a vlogger. My followers want to know anything that happens to me.
You didn’t deserve what happened to you.
Her exact words?
I don’t know her head was in my lap.
You used yourself as bait?
They tried to rape me.
Rollins in my office, please.
She lied to me. She said she didn’t post it.

5/10

Castle 8.10

A good Castle episode, that’s a shocker. I know I should contemplate every week, but there’s nothing to contemplate. But then Castle wanted to get thrown in jail and we remembered why we love it so much.

I went to high school with Nina. What high school?
I’m gonna get thrown in jail.
Joanna, how would you like to have a character in my next novel named after you?
How about a villain?

6/10

The Middle 7.15

What is going on with The Middle? This is definitely the weakest season.

Who’s that?
None of your business.
You would recognise it cause you never talk.

1.5/10

The Middle 7.16

Weakest episode of the season.

Free Wifi and a nice view.
Let me just stick my head out so I know what’s our new address.

3.5/10

Younger 2.8

I just love this show.

Millennial Print, you really are shameless.
#goodluck
What do creative directors do exactly?
Someone else’s coke mostly.
That girl is something special.
Assistants don’t have a lunch.
I’m not 26, I’m 40.
Now I’m interested.
Now I got another shot at my 20s.
According to New York Times you don’t exist.
Liza, are you crying?
I’m just so happy for you.

7/10

Scandal 5.11

I am loving this Liv/Mellie friendship. Carlos Solis joins the cast.

Because that Muppet is in love with you.
I left for the same reasons you stayed.
That’s what you write.You write that you were scared. That you couldn’t stand up to him. You didn’t need Fitz to give you the power. You had that power all along. It just took you a little longer to realize.
Get out your laptop, start typing.

7.5/10

Scandal 5.12

I loved how Cyrus staged for Carlos from Desperate Housewives to get shot, just so he can be the hero.

It’s easy , you just need to be in touch with your inner child.
Since you’re my only friend now, you can call me Fitz.

4.5/10

How to get Away with Murder 2.11

Ask miss Winterbottom. Clearly she’s the only one listening.
Don’t feel bad when i’m gonna end up shooting myself.
Wes went to the health centre to get some sleeping pills and they checked him into the psych ward.
You’re fired. My old Bonnie is back.
First year’s the hardest and I’m so behind.She needs therapy.
We all need therapy.
I killed Lila.

5/10

How to get Away with Murder 2.12

Oh, I hope Wes killed his mom.

Let mommy take care of it the way she always does.
Now what, mommy?
Now I have five of them and it’s the worst experience of my life.
When he applies to law school she helps him get in.
That one of you will be Wes Gibbins.
Is it true? Did Wes kill his mother?

7/10

Grandfathered 1.17

So do I just pay him in cash when he gets here?
This is Juliet.
Where’s Romeo?

7/10

Grandfathered 1.18

Is this really how they want to finish this and possibly the show’s only season? With them dating other people? It was the show’s worst episode. Also, too sex crazed, and not enough Granfdfather-ing.

With this Sarah this happened?

0.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.17

Now the new A has Emily’s fingerprints on the murder weapon.

That person may be storing my future offspring.
I’ll sleep when I’m unemployed.You get a chance to make people better than yourself.
You are the writer in the family.
We’re all different people now.
At least one of us will have a degree that matters.
You need to start talking before our baby does.
The protagonist is not Aria. We never meade it past Philly.
I think it’s fate. People who were meant to be together take a break and find a way back to their first love.
We graduated and we grew up.

6/10

The Simpsons 27.14

Awful.

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)

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)

(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 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)

‘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)

‘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)

‘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.’

‘Olive, will you forgive me?’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)
