Hi guys, welcome back to liveoffmovies. Fall Season is in its full and I’ve been taking my sweet time not posting my reviews. My bad. I was working two shifts, focusing on an internship, I only yesterday realized, I did not want. Plus I was busy moving to my new house. Now that it’s all mostly done, here are some long overdue reviews. The rest of the episodes (over 30 now!) will be posted later next week, once I do my taxes and figure out how to fill in the new expenses form and buy a washing machine and get everything not working in my new house fixed. Uff listing all of these was tiring enough. Thankfully only half of the shows I watch premiered new episodes this week, and Switched at Birth is already on a break, so I’ll have time to catch up with my posting schedule very soon.

First of, Gilmore Girls is coming back! GG got a revival! First Full House, now Gilmore Girls. Thanks, Netflix. Life is good.

Second of all, The Whispers was cancelled. Now we’ll never know what happened to Claire and the kids.

Thirdly, let’s talk about the new season of AHS and why I’ve decided to quit it. I am a huge horror freak and I have always been, but at the same time I have never been a fan of the vampirism genre. I couldn’t follow Buffy or Charmed, never started True Blood or Vampire Diaries. There are a few vampire films that I have enjoyed, like Nosferatu, The Hunger, Fright Night, The Lost Boys, Dracula, 30 Days of Night, or Stake Island, but not enough to explore the genre any further. Furthermore, I am a huge fan of Jessica Lange, and watching the first two episodes of the series, I kept thinking of who her character would be. What we were most scared of, happened. The show got bad without Jessica. The first four seasons were relatable to some extend, season two, even though, my favorite, the least. There are a few shows that I had to talk myself into watching for a couple of episodes, and then, continued watching, because it would be weird to stop. I have tried watching the first episode of the fifth series twice, and that has barely ever happened before. Pilots are supposed to be the intriguing, or even the best episodes. And finally, to quote my father, I have no time for some mediocre fairytale that does not concern me. Which is why, I say goodbye to American Horror Story, at least till next year.

Bones 11.01

I have been disapointed with Bones for the last couple of seasons, probably since season 7, as nothing new ever happened. I am furious that no one is mourning Booth’s brother, because I still remember when season 4 came out and Jared helped save Booth. I remember season 4 too well, as back then the episodes were pretty spectacular, and now they’re all the same. ‘Booth was beaten as a child’ automatically reminded me of Sweets and the episode when he accidentaly showed B&B his back, and Brennan talked about the foster parents who used to lock her up, and now I’m getting nostalgic over, yet again, season 4. Kim Raver guest stars, I’m not sure she’s done anything else than 24 after Teddy left to Germany on Greys.

Please leave me with the bones.
Booth was beaten as a child.
It’s Booth’s brother.
I have more questions than answers which is unusual.
That one is Booth’s.

7/10

Bones 11.02

Very disapointing. Also, Kim Raver’s character did not bring anything to the storyline. Why hire her then?

That’s Jared in there, my brother.
Bones, I’m okay.
This is who you’re geniuenly are.

4/10

Bones 11.03

Who knows what the case was about. Also, gross, I couldn’t eat and I always eat while watchinhg Bones.

Daddy’s looking for uncle Jared.
You aranged a show for me?
How she got in and out of the crib.

3/10

Greys 12.03

Season 12 is not as good as we wished it t be.

Someone invited you to your ex boyfriend’s wedding? So rude.
I can’t have sex with you.
No.
I really do like her, she makes me the not so crazy sister.
What do you think they’re paying her?
Izzie anted to freeze her eggs.

7/10

SVU 17.04

The cases are disastrous this season. Nothing new. Mariska all breathing heavily after walking up those stairs, very relatable.

Also Detective Rollins, I assume you know she’s pregnant.

4/10

SVU 17.03

The only way I could have been more shocked is if they told us Cragen is the father, instead of Declan. Good case, not told as well as we’d expect from this incredible show.

He could have killed you. You survived.
Then he raped the little girl too?

2.5/10

Castle 8.03

Entertaining, and that’s all we need from this type of show. Who knows who killed the guy though?

Hey bro, you know what frat the dead dude was from.
Dude, you look like you’re 40.
Including sending your daughter to a house of drunken fratboys, dressed like a slutty angel.
Beer pong challenge everybody.

7.5/10

Scream Queens 1.03

It was a hilarious episode, nicely surprised. Also, Texas Chainsaw ladies and gents. I absolutely adore all the ED insults. I have a friend who has quit this show saying it’s dumb, and she continues to watch AHS, while I can’t stand it. Scream Queens is light and fun, and it has Jamie Lee Curtis, and surprisingly well written for this kind of show, and I have actually missed it this week. Life is too stressful not to watch a few light shows.

It could be really anything, bulimia…
Especially when she was tweeting, ‘I’m being killed.’
Bitch is not even cute.
Don’t ask me if I wanna go, hoes.
You started freaking out when I said I wanted to sleep with your corpse.
You have that Samantha Ronson thing going on.
Find that tortured gay kid in your life and hold them close tonight.
Welcome to Film Analysis.
Which I consider to be the best film. Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Are we all running from Chainsaws of our past?
What we do with the hurt of that trauma defines who we are.
A uniform she ripped off from an ice cream stand.
The intesity of thh experience of being haunted by a psychopath has really bonded them.
You and I are moving into kappa house for a week.
My father is Charles Manson.
Bitches gather’ound.
Bitches, I would like you to meet Chanel number 6.
Chanel says I can hold her hair back on purge nights.
What’s insane are your tweets to the executive producer of the hit TV show How To Get Away With Murder.
6 months ago you tweeted @ShondaRhimes If Annalise Keating really wanted to get away with murderm she’d find a partner and work as a team.
I need to sleep with a white noise machine on.
Baboon attack.
I’ll set the machine to slasher movie and we’ll leave it at that.
Didn’t you hear the screaming?
No! I mean, yes, I heard screaming, but that’s because the white noise machine was set to slasher movie.

10/10

Nashville 4.01

Just like I thought, they couldn’t kill Deacon off.

You may not know it now, but this is the best friend you’re gonna have your whole life.
Push her in front of an upcoming traffic, I don’t care.

8/10

Nashville 4.02

Nice to see everyone appreciating Layla’s talent again. I want Jullitte’s old manager to represent her! Just imagine how far she would get with his help. Meanwhile, Will got dropped from Luke’s label for being gay. Do we want him on Highway 65? Yes!

We have a solo gig for you tomorrow night at the Bluebird.
Layla, amazing show, seriously. I was blown away.
I know you have a manager, but should that ever change, I’d like to be your first call.
I’m sorry son, I’m gonna have to drop you from the label.
You’d record my songs yourself?

7/10

Scandal 5.02

Finally something is happening. I absolutely loved the ending. The secret is out.

President is about to get Poped.
For the first time ever, President and his mistress will address the country.
My Casey could make fake photos like that in 15 minutes, she’s very good with computers.
You’ve got an alibi, Huck?
She’s making a statement, fix it.
Mr President, you don’t get to be like anyone else, that’s the job you signed up for.
You leaked these photos.
I get turned on by crime scenes.
Are you the President’s mistress?
Yes.

5.5/10

How to Get Away with Murder 2.02

Femke’s character, reminded me of Shirley Maclaine’s character in The Children’s Hour, I bet it’s gonna be one of my favorite storylines this season. Sadly, they let her go.

You screw up again, you’re gonna be the next dead body in the house.
Please explain the extent of your relationship with Mrs Keating.
If she’d been able to get into Harvard.
If not a tranqualizer.
Researching your next murder?
Let the slut shaming begin.
Always bringing me problems, never solutions.
What I did, it was for you. To take care of you.
I didn’t take care of you. I ruined you.
You needed to be saved from me.
Now go home and don’t kill anyone.
Because a part of me is still in love with you.
I hate how you make me feel, because I can’t have you.
It was good with you. And real. Too real.
But you’re the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me.
I’m not saying marry me. Just think about it.

9.5/10

Downton Abbey 7.03

Everyone continues to stress about their job.

I know what a catalogue is.
Typical, 30 years of serving, one wrong move and snap, you’re out on your ear.
I can’t see the future, but then I suppose none of us can.

8/10

Scream Queens 1.04

She’s not dead. She’s haunting the campus with her fatness.
Now Zedae will win because we live in the age of Obama?
When I find a gravestone I like I get turned on and rub one out to it.
Hey, that’s my sister and she’s not a bitch. But I am.
Also not a student.
Zeade should have considered the fact that she was gonna get kidnapped.

5.5/10

Scream Queens 1.05

The Shining and The Silence of the lambs references.

Give me the exact replica of the maze from The Shining.
Apparently, one of them died or something.
Excuse me, it’s not my fault that some old guy died in the 70s.
Excuse me, than who’s fault is it?
My husband was shot in Dallas, you idiot.
Or the human mattress Nancy Reagan.
Dibbs. I’m Nancy Reagan.
You’re a weird psycho lunatic who’s gonna end up in an asylum somewhere staring at the wall.
All smartphones have GPS in the evern when they’re dead.

8/10

Grandfathered 1.02

Grandfathered got a full season and well deserved too. I gave this episode a 10, but now I don’t really see why, oh well.

You were driving and you stopped to write that down?
Let’s sit by the garbage. By the garbage!
Yeah I got it.
So you take a lot of pictures of yourself.
Thank you, it’s se;f expression, gives me a way to be artistic.
I’m gonna make instructional male up videos on youtube.
You follow her?
Since the day I met her. Sounds creepy, I’m fine with that.
Jimmy get in here, I need man to sit on.

10/10

How To Get Away With Murder 2.03

Femke is gone and we’re back to the usual boredom. I couldn’t care less about the siblings this whole season is based around.

What does sex have to do with criminal law?
Everything.
Sexual healing.
Move, find me a pervert.

2/10

Faking It 2.17

This season is ridiculous. Why am I still watching this show? Good thing it’s only 20 minutes.

When did you become such a Pretty Little Liar?
You’re a woman and you’re a gay man, let’s hear you roar.
The bi label is just a step in the coming out process.
Drunken hookup. Curious. Bi. Full blown gay. Elton John.

1.5/10

Faking It 2.18

How come this is the end of their junior year and they’re all so sexually experienced? Even in 90210 there were some virgins junior year.

What’s wrong, already screwed everything with a pulse?
We are more than our scars.
What is she doing?
No clue.
Don’t do this.
Or what?

2/10

The Simpsons 27.03

No one outfats me.

2.5/10

The Simpsons 27.04

Halloweening your house.
I’ll take this to my dad and tell him it’s his new roomate.

Happy Halloween since I won’t see you till November.

As promised, here are the missing reviews.

SVU 17.01

SVU is back. Not their best case, but good enough.

You’re suggesting he was able to pass as a woman after 9/11?
He keeps autopsy photos beside his bed?

8.5/10

SVU 17.02

We all know the baby is Nick’s, you don’t have to lie, Amanda.

Usually you’re two steps in front of me.
You’re up for a flight?
Not really.
He gave her a ride, she bled from a papercut.
She had a slightly different scent, like you do.
Being a single mom is not easy.

9/10

Castle 8.01

I like the Alexis/Castle alliance.

You closed four cases?
You and Beckett are magic together.

8.5/10

How to Get Away with Murder 2.01

I love how they show us that a straight woman may fall for a woman without being gay. Annalise isn’t bisexual, she just has a weakness for her ex. I don’t think she’ll be hooking up with any other woman. Can we keep Femke on full time? ‘I’m not gonna know you next year’ describes every shared accomodation leaving ever.  You’re just thrown together by an accident, and you won’t keep in touch with most people you meet. Denying ‘thinking about the one that got away every other day’ is what we all do and have to live with.

I’m not gonna know you next year.
I grew up, I stopped playing the victim.
You’re the one sick enough to do this.
Now that you’ve done it, you’re a monster, just like me.
I’m not sitting here every day crying about how you left me for your therapist.
I lied, I think about you every day.
She’s just about to off us.
You’d get no warning if I was to off you.

6.5/10

Scream Queens 1.01

Cleaning up bulimia vomit.
Everyone is encouraged to dress white, be white.
I’m a candle blogger.
Mr convicted sex offender.
These sorority bitches.
Screaming bloody murder for being objectified, even though they objectify themselves.
Oh Pissy Spacek.

8.5/10

Scream Queens 1.02

Just because you know a guy who was in class with the dead girl’s roommate does not mean that it could’ve been you.
Dean of Murder U.
Like a Friends episode, but someone is tryng to kill all the Friends.
What good are you, we can call yje police ourselves.
Cannibal who cooks his victims.

5.5/10

Switched at Birth 4.12

Travis’s back story.

It’s because that girl got raped in the deaf dorm.
Standing up to your attacker like that.
I get what you’re going through. I do . Something happened to me.
It happens to a lot of deaf kids.
It was a family friend, a long time ago.
I don’t think any differently of you.
Something similar happened to her.
Definitely, Have her email me

7/10

Switched at Birth 4.13

I don’t think Toby is ready for this, two years ago he was still in high school and he hasn’t grown up since then.

John, walk into the 21st century.

3.5/10

Faking It 1.11

It will be like sisterhood of travelling pants.

2/10

Faking it 2.12

3/10

Faking it 2.13

Weaker and weaker every week.

1.5/10

Faking It 2.14

Oh so terrible.

0.5/10

The Whispers 1.13

Apparently I haven’t posted my review of The Whipsers’ finale. I was nicely surprised and I am awfully sad that we won’t probably see it next year. Claire was taken by Drew and I’m not okay with never finding out how it works out.

They’re not here for our planet, they’re here for our children

8.5/10

Scream 1.10

Rest in peace, Wes Craven. You will always remain one of my biggest insirations and influences.

Bad luck had it that Pretty Little Liars just went with the transgender storyline a week earlier.

You’re the survivor girl, which makes me the know it all sidekick. Oh crap, I’m gonna die.
I do not vote in favor of splitting up. Nor am I retiring in 3 days. And I will not be right back.
They always come back.
And survival girl at the back of the ambulance.
And survivor of the Lakewood slasher massacre.

Here are the last tv reviews for the summer 2015. I know I promised to cover all the remaining films I watched the last 10 months, but I’m going on a holiday, and I’m simply too busy…rewatching Full House again. Don’t worry I will be back in September and I promise to continue covering films as well as tv series.

The Whispers 1.09

Possibly the best episode of the series.

After this, you’ll never be innocent again.
After he’s taken a child.

The Whispers 1.10

Nina got electrocuted.

3.5/10

The Whispers 1.12

I am upset about the possible series finale next week, I spent the whole summer watching this show, I got used to it.

I can’t think of the words right now.
Tell me she’s dead.
What’s the president daughter’s code?
The broadcast. It’s a live feed.
This is how he’s gonna do it.
She’s gonna send the signal.

3/10

Scream 1.06

Nice resting creep face.
I always thought my best friend is capable of murder.
4.5/10

Scream 1.07

Let’s split.
Said no one who survived a horror movie.It’s so quiet.
Yeah, until all the screaming and running starts.
Creepy music, I knew this was missing something.
Cue for reunion montage.
I think it’s finally time to get netflix.
Can we go back and shoot a modern Blair Witch?
I suggest you run.

8/10

Scream 1.08

And you wanted to see how Girl Interrupted am I?
His class is one stop victim shopping.
If he’s killing off The Breakfast Club, the only person left is a weird dark girl who only wears black.
Are you still up?
Always.
Holy Dexter’s air conditioner.

5.5/10

Scream 1.09

Your mom was Daisy.
Brandon’s son.
Seth.
Nina and Kieran.
I was gonna be the Babadook.
And she pointed out Kieran.
Save the Sheriff.

3/10

Switched at Birth 4.11

Switched at Birth is back, I knew the summer was missing something. We liked Bay’s scary daydream sequences, but all the other storylines did not hold together. I love how casual Vanessa looks here at the beginning of the episode, and the scene when she confronts herself was one of the best this show has offered. I really hoped it would be of of the switches who got pregnant.

We’ll apply to art school again.
Is it Tobys?
Wanted for kidnapping.
I’m a trainwreck.
Do not go to that party.
Don’t you get it, it was never about Tank.
I just have to go back to this night and change it.
And you have to know that you’ll be okay. We will.
The baby has Down Syndrome.

Pretty Little Liars 6.08

9/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.096
And they went with the transgender version of the story, as they got so deep into their traps this was the only way out. I know Cece was supposed to be A back from episode 3, but I really hoped it wouldn’t be that easy.

This week I finally got the chance to watch Top of the Lake (thanks Netflix). It was very much like The Killing, butwith this beautiful backstorythat held it all together. The conclusion was marvellous too. I did not grade it, but it would be a high score.  I just finished watching Wet Hot American Summer’s prequel series, but I did not rate it and I honestly do not think I’ll ever watch it again. I’ll write a review on it when write about the original film. I wanted to wait with this post another week, but with no The Whispers this week, there’s just not enough to write about, and I know I owe you lots of film reviews, but I just wanted to get these out of the way. I need my fall shows to start as these three are literally making me doubt my intelligence.

The Whispers 1.08

I absolutely adore the title sequence, the theme music is very horror like creepy good. Like I said before, too sci-fi for me. Lovely creepy home video. Drill made Mink’s mother kill the father? It was obvious he’d close the door on them. The show would be better if they still signed. It’s obvious you don’t leave a kid in the car.

Drill he’s gone sweetheart.
No, he’s not.
No he wasn’t, I lied.
Thia article has been written in 1982.
Drill has been here before.
Kill.
I won’t play, ever.
He’s not imaginary, he’s real.
He killed his brother.
I lost two sins that day.
It’s were he was killed.
It’s never about rhe kids, It’s about the parents.
He took his name. That way the bad one dies and the good one lives.
Drill wants her to kill the father?
That’s when the whispers started.
Please help me.
They must have sent another one.
I killed Drill.
How did you kill Drill?
How did you do it?
He knows how to kill Drill.

8.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.06

Skyler Day is back. Does Emily have leslian written on her face?

We have a lot of teese witherspoon movies to catch up on.

Come on field trip.
Aria leave the doll alone.
That’s your phone.

6/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.07

Cece is on A team, but is not A. I don’t like the idea of A being someone they have never met. I have always hoped it to be someone we knew right from the pilot episode.

Why do you have a picture of Jason on your phone?
I thought I was gonna open my eyes and be back in Iceland.

6.5/10

Scream 1.04

I am actually starting to like the show, even though people stopped dying, and the episode was not very demanding, which one is though?

The show is very weak, but definetely gives a guilty pleasure wibe.

All I know is right now I’m holding you and he’s not.

I just finished watching Grace and Frankie, earlier I watched Full House and this week I started The Whispers and Scream. I will write a post on OITNB soon.

Pretty Little Liars 6.03

I hope we’ll get to know A’s identity and they won’t postpone it any longer. And that they won’t lie to us like The Killing writers did.

We made it back and I don’t see a happy ending.

8.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.04

What a coincidence with the files just being transferred. Sara is killing someone soon. Charles is living there. The aunt was killed by Charles when the liars were in 10th grade. No one cares why, just get in. Sara is A, as she is Bethany and she knew Charles. He put tracking chips into them.

He was institionalised in Radley.
Because Charles is dead.
He killed himself when he was 16.
I don’t want you going out alone.
There was a 10 minute gap between first and second shift.
My daughter was a patient at Radley, how can I get a hold of her records?
I found her on our roof.
Maybe someone lived there. Charles.
You’re my doll, bitch.
Dye it now or lose it all.
What did I do? What did you make me do?!
A must be somebody Charles knew at Radley.
The room in that place looked exactly like this.

6.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.05

Whats with the lame dance? So A is a girl. That we’ve never met. Great. Mona’s scared? Aria’s obsession with dolls. Since when? Please don’t let A be Cece. I want to be surprised. Let me guess, Aria is going to win the competition. Oh if only life was that easy. Teaching position? Isn’t Leslie liars’ age? Clark better not be A. Why is Sara only 17? So Leslie is A? I still think Sara is Bethany.

Bad behavior has a way of catching up to you.
You would know.
Clark may have taken a picture of A.
It’s not a cover. It’s minimum wage and you start tomorrow.
A is a girl?!
I saw her too.
There’s someone across the street in a hoodie.
Leslie Stone was in Radley?
She was roomates with Bethany Young.

4.5/10

The Whispers 1.01

Lily Rabe finally got her own show. Revenge’s Aiden is on it. Steven Spielberg is producing. It’s less of a horror, more of a sci-fi, but I’m still liking it. I never read the short story it’s based on. The series also stars Jess from Gilmore Girls. I am sad we won’t get to see much of The Whispers as Lily Rabe getting her own show is the best thing that happened to us since we met her in AHS.

X marks the spot. You’re supposed to step on it.
The game isn’t done yet, he’s looking for a new friend.
Yeah, I’d like to play.
Thank you for fixing me. Goodnight, Drill, I love you.

5/10

The Whispers 1.02

Trying to understand a sci-fi film is not easy, when you’ve been a sceptic your whole life. I did love Lost though and I did watch V, so I should be just fine.

I can’t wait to meet him.

2.5/10

The Whispers 1.03

The scene when the hostage gives the salesman Claire’s card and he actually understands what to do with it is pretty impressive. Also, awkward ex-lover/husband/wife moments are enjoyable to watch.

He’s alive. Sean is alive.
He’s my husband.
That’s an account.
Each of the kids claims to have an imaginary friend called Drill.
Clair, Minx got a friend called Drill.
Like a maze.

5/10

The Whispers 1.04

The tension between Claire and Wes is incredible to follow. Fantastic episode, best so far.

Let me go, Wes.
He can’t hear you. He can’t understand you!
Stop hurting him!
Henry, can you hear me?
But it was supposed to be a secret between me and Drill.

8/10

The Whispers 1.05

And the disapointment begins, what a weak episode.

I have nothing. No memories, no past.

1/10

The Whispers 1.06

Good episode and we finally got to see Drill.

You can’t tell me?
We’re all vulnerable.
What’s he doing to my son?!
He likes you. He says you can play.
Claire, I remember. I remember everything.

6/10

Scream 1.01

As a guge fan of the Scream series I fecided to give it a chance, and it honestly does not look too good. I am only interested in the main character’s mother’s story, but I’ll watch it. Bullet from the third season of The Killing stars and the guy who filmed killing his victims and died just before Amanda had a chance to disarm his on SVU.

Out doors speakers on.
Maybe you’ll make more views than Aubrey.
Heads up.
Calling Pottery Barn.
Maybe Aubrey will Taylor Swift her anger and put it into something creative.
I need gore details.
Some guys like sports, I like serial killers.
Nobody ever knew who she was.
Do you think one kegg is enough?
It’s like the perfect slasher setting.

6/10

Scream 1.02

How can I not follow a show that respects self harm and gay women.

Your dad is a solo survivor of the Brandon James killings?
She was a cutter?
Yeah, she had issues with depression.
I mean Rachel had some issues.
What? Cutting?

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

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

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

Enjoy!

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

About me

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

favourite film and tv quotes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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