Whatever else is missing will be posted next week, and then full reviews summing up each show before the new seasons start.

This is Us 1.18

Sara Paxton guest stars in this so-so episode.

4.5/10

Hollywood Darlings 1.07

I really hope this gets a second season.

Put your fucking hand down.
How rude.

3.5/10

The Good Fight 1.10

Your dad fled, you’re under arrest.

8.5/10

SVU 18.21

For SVU, it was such a shitty episode.

The next dead woman on the floor, that could be you.

2/10

Nashville 5.12

God bless Nashville for mentioning Daria.

When kids at school treat me like crap for being different, your music gets me through.
Oh my god, Daria! I love that show!
I know about depression.
You can’t push that kind of pain away, you gotta own it, deal with it every day. That’s what people do. They fail each other. So try again. Fail better.

9/10

Handmaid’s Tale 1.01

There’s an eye in your house, be careful.

I guess I need to rewatch 1.02 as the notes I took have gone missing

6.5/10

Handmaid’s Take 1.03

Alexis’s scream at the end and her facial expressions gained her an Emmy nomination and I couldn’t be happier for her!

Why only women?
I will resign my body to the use of others.
She was very pleasant looking.
In what way?
Did she ever touch you?
Did you know she was the gender trader?
You didn’t report it to your mistress?
But you knew what she was?
I knew she was gay.
That satan was an offense to God. She was a disguisting beast.
Because she was my friend.
Don’t! She’s pregnant!
No ice cream for you this month, young lady.
You won’t want what you can’t have.

10/10

The Handmaid’s Tale 1.04

God found a way to make you useful.

5.5/10

The Handmaid’s Tale 1.05

Rory Gilmore ran over some dude in this episode, woah.

Maybe we should skip tonight’s ceremony.
You can’t be sick every month.
Children. What else is there to live for?
Death.

3.5/10

The Handmaid’s Tale 1.06

Second to best episode after that wonderful 1.03 and who would have tjought the husband is alive?!

The children . All brought to you by pur handmaids.
They want to trade us dummy.
They don’t rape you, do they?
And stick his cock up your ass.
They rape me. Once a month.
I didn’t choose this.
They took my daughter.
Don’t be sorry. Please do something.
My country is dying.
My country is already dead.

5/10

The Handmaid’s Tale 1.07

They took my wife and daughter.
Gather them up for fertility reasons.
So she’s alive.

2/10

The Handmaid’s Tale 1.08

All should be collected and impregnated.
Maybe wife should be there for the act.
I will not be that girl in the box.

1.5/10

The Leftovers 3.05

And he shits 4 times a day.
I’m not one of those lunatics.

5.5/10

The Leftovers 3.06

Lorrie finally told Kevin about the baby she lost during the Departure.

I was pregnant, 16 weeks.

7/10

The Leftovers 3.07

Always a pleasure to hear the Beach Boys songs be used on TV shows and it happens more and more often recently! How disturbing was Kevin scanning his dick to get access to that freaking building?

Anyone can have your face, but not your penis.

5/10

The Leftovers 3.08

The series finale was not exactly what I expected, but at least we got some answers. Remember when back in season one Tom and Damien said we’d never learn what happened to the Departured, because the show is about the one who remained on Earth and their grief? Well I guess HBO pressured them for answers and I’m really glad they did. Why would Jill have her first kid in her late 40s though? How old is Kevin supposed to be in the end, late 60s? Goodbye, The Leftovers!

So you’re saying it’s your first time in Australia?
Jill married a great guy and has a daughter almost 1 year old.
How’s your dad?
Good, he’s 91.
I talk to Lorrie sometimes.
I didn’t change my mind. I went through. I walked through M
appletown. At first I didn’t recognise them. A boy, a teenager and a girl, 11 years old. I was aghost who had no place there. And that, Kevin is when I changed my mind. So much time had past. It was too late.

10/10

When We Rise 1.01

It’s shocking how I haven’t caught up on this show yet.

The lesbian thing.
The fact that someone is homosexual automatically rules out the possibility that he’ll remain happy for long.
I’m gay, dad. I’m gay.
It’s an illnes. It can be treated.
San Francisco is where we were told we could find our harbour.
Get your dyke face out of my station.
But I’m not a dyke.
God saves us gays.
I’m not one of them.
Be fabulous.
I’m not that sexual.
I need you to bring all the boys like you.
I worried I was a homosexual when I was 16, for a year.
Have you ever been arrested?
No, but I’m looking forward to it.
You love women, Roma.
Being black isn’t the only thing that is different about me.

10/10

When we Rise 1.02

Something natural. 8 colors.

I want you to be happy. And I don’t think this lifestyle will let you be that.
We’re lesbians. We show up. That’s what we do.
We are the lesbians and gays of San Francisco.
We are going to live.

4.5/10

Younger 4.01

Josh, I know everything.
You broke my heart.

2/10

Younger 4.02

You deserve better. You deserve someone who will treasure you.
20 something drama. Can’t stop them from acting their age.

3/10

Pretty Little Liars 7.15

I have to do this. Of course you do, that’s what makes you Emily.
Playing with people’s lives is an addiction.

5.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 7.17

I guess some dreams are meant to be just that, dreams.
I want to marry your daughter.
I thought you were ready to leave this town.
I am, just not the people in it.

4/10

Pretty Little Liars 7.19

Somebody’s always stealing the game from me.
This is Rosewood, Mona. Not Area 51.
Jump or I’ll push you.
Mona killed Charlotte.
She went into a safe place. Before anything bad happened.
Did you murder Jessica DiLaurentis? Yes.
She did this for you.
That’s what dying feels like.

Greys 12.23

Brooke!? Jo’s name is Brooke?! Is Shonda running out of name ideas, does she not remember there was an intern called Heather Brooks?! Same as with Mer’s sister Maggie and Owen’s sister Megan. It’s the same name for crying out loud! I cried when Alex said his name was Alex Stevens, as in Izzie Stevens! And when Amelia spoke with Teddy! I was upset they didn’t show her, but Kim Raver is coming back! For an episode or 2, most likely the first 2 of the 14th season.

Mayor Hunt.
They said that she’s alive.
They found her in the basment.
Ask for Dr. Teddy Altman.
She said that she tried to call you.
Owen, Teddy knows her. Teddy saw her.
I went on with my life. For alost 10 years. I stoped looking, I gave up. I gave up on her.
He made me drive to the woods. He wanted to rape me.
Stephanie’s with him.
Because a rapist’s in the hospital.
I left her in the room with him.

SVU 18.17

We all felt sick when they attacked Liv and Amanda’s children.

I’m number 622 on the list. I didn’t get the perfect score.
Both are fatherless babies of unknown origin.
Arrest that son of a bitch who ran that thing.
He make us do the sex.
We come to America for work, not the sex.
What kind of jobs did they think they would get in America?
Nannies.

10/10

The Middle 8.22

Sue summed up this year, with exactly what we were thinking. The last two years were uneventful, and I miss the high school years every day. Remember when sue had no chill and couldn’t make anything of herself and she was always cheerful? Yes, those where the days.

This year I look back and it just feels like the year was kind of ‘Meh’.
Frankie, why are we getting HBO?
I wonder if we’re getting Hallmark movies!
Cindy just came back from her doctor, he believes she stopped growing!
The universe is confusing us with the Donaghues!
Whenever had 3 ggoo things happened to us on one day?
Or one?
My name is Sue Heck, class of 2015.
Sorry humiliation, you’ve been postponed to a later date.

7/10

Scandal 6.13

I really wished Scandal would go all Seven on us and deliver someone’s head, but they opted out last minute. The box plot was intriguing nonetheless.

Drones. 9 drones.
There’s been an explosion in Dallas.
35 Americans dead.
Sir, the drones are moving.
The Philadephia drone detonated.
I don’t get it, is the box empty?
A brick Why woud Payes send my father a brick?
It’s the weight. Every box weighed 11 Ibs.
And your sex Scandal.
No one has ever broken you.
A severed head weighes from 9lbs to 11 lbs.
That head would be Olivia’s.
I could speak 8 languages.
Olivia is what you’re best at. She’s your republic. She’s your legacy.

10/10

Nashville 5.14

Let’s be honest Nashville post Rayna is no good.I’m happy when they sing, but the storylines are predictable and lack essence. This week, there I was thinking Maddie has actually made it and they went with the obvious storyline of everyone wanting to know how will she fit into her mother’s shoes.

I don’t want  to be stuck behind Miranda and Carrie and Kelsey I need a hit!
She’s back!
Bucky, thank you for everything.
They’re playing my song on the radio!!
That’s the best we can do?!
And we’ve never even had sex.

Greys 13.22

Meredith giving away the tumor Derek drew for her so she can fuck her boyfriend in peace is appaling, and I like those two together. Parents don’t want their kid to have surgery because of their strong faith in God. Stephanie gets suspended for throwing a tablet at the dad.

As someone who’s been around a lot of death and been left behind by it, I can tell you, trust me, you don’t want that.
You can go to jail again.
I can go to jail for this.
Don’t let it hold you back. No more sitting here and waiting. Grab your new life by the hand and go out there and live it. Change is good.

8.5/10

The Goldbergs 4.23

Is it Jane Fonda?
It’s from Gremlins.

6/10

Nashville 5.13

How did Deacon not think Maddie self harmed?! All the freaking songs this episode! Absolutely spectacular! Maddie’s reendition of the Daria theme! Avery’s song ! And the Exes too! The homeless girl crying at the photo of Rayna with her Deacon and the girls!

I feel so alone,  keep heading home!
Or the foster drunks who never understood no means no.
Cause you’re coming home with me.
I love you even when I don’t.
Where’s your real dad?
In jail.
What about your mom?
She died.
Do you mind me asking how old are you?
15.
You can stay.
I’ll be fine.
Just know I’ll be there.
I’m on my way.

6.5/10

Riverdale 1.12

This is the episode where Madchen reinvented herself! She was absolutely fabulous in it! I am ready for Twin Peaks return. Shelly was my favorite in the original one. The scene where theCoopers walzed in was my second favorite this season.

I’m a Blossom?!
Which makes her and Jason relatives by blood.
Don’t bother calling the cops, we’re not staying.
Sorry to disturb the witching hourat Thornehill.
She chose to live here remember, with the mentally stable family.
Oh I know all about your family, Penelope and the incest.
Nothing could be more purely Blossom than those babies.
Enough of this Dr Moreau experimentation in breeding and eugenics! It’s over!
There it is. Maybe syrup. Drown in it, why don’t you!
Nancy Drew strikes again.
You did a bad thing daddy, and now everyone knows.
And then the unthinkable happened.

10/10

Pretty Little Liars 7.14

Lucas is definitely A.D. He has always been a stalker, and I have been suspicious of him since season two or something. The song Devil Devil by Milck is so freaking good.

Luke, Lucas maybe.
You know him?
You’re sitting on his couch.
I remember the procedure.
I want to cancel my appointment.
No one can know how ciolated and used you must feel.
It’s supposed to kand on Aria!

10/10

Pretty Little Liars 7.18

It pissed me off when Hanna said ‘Childhood’ teddy bear, that’s why I hate season 7 so much, they all think they’re so grown up and shit. How many times do I have to say this! Alison is not gay and never will be!

I think she’s on the A.D. team.
I just received proof that yu were not in town at the time of the murder.
I’ll tell you what we should do.
Why didn’t we do that earlier?
I hope you enjoyed the game, Aria. I know I have.
It’s Mona, signal is coming from inside the apartment.

4/10

Girlboss 1.01

Crying because of work, relatable. The thing she did where she lied to the person on the phone saying there was an ambulance passing by, so she could cry was incredible. So was the scene where she tried to push her car up the road on a gorgeous San Francisco street? Incredible! I just realizedthis year we got 3 shows based in San Francisco, Girlboss, When We Rise and Fuller House of course.

How old are you?
23.
Did I eat her sandwich? Yeah.
Can you hold on a second, there’s an ambulance next to me.
Bring on adulthood, motherfucker.

6.5/10

Hollywood Darlings 1.04

Who the fuck complained?!
I’ve been around the block enough to know when someone’s about to fuck me up.
We’ll give you 40% discount.

3.5/10

Modern Family 8.20

Why the hell did they think it’s appropriate for Lily to have a bra at 9 years old?

I like his energy. He doesn’t have any.
Hey where do I park?
Between two lines.
My make-up was not insured.

5.5/10

Modern Family 8.21

5/10

F is for Family 2.08

I was moved by the co-pilot story about putting off your future because of an obstacle. Since that’s what I’ve been doing for the last 4 yeavrs.

Ass-eater.

2/10

F is For Family 2.09

Mom, dad, ar you fighting?
Yes!

1/10

F is For Family  2.10

Man I hope it’s lesbian stuff.
She was hotter than a car seat in August.
Fuck you.
What are you doing here?
Fucking up my life.
Frank what the fuck?

Greys 13.15

For Greys this episode was just meh.

You need to replace the mattresses in all on-call rooms.
I’m the Avery of this hospital.
Floss. Can’t sleep without it.
I know.
Get anywhere with you? So you admit, there’s somewhere to get with you.
Some days will run you down.
I think about you a lot, I can’t stop, I’m telling you. I’m in, if you are.

6/10

SVU 18.12

What a wonderful episode.

Local girl makes good and this is her welcome home present.
Nothing has changed. You’re the same person that you have before.
Some survivors prefer to go public.
You didn’t do anything wrong.
A predator raped and assaulted you, embarrassment doesn’t even enter the conversation.
And what do I do, lieutenant? What’s my mission.
You heal.
Get away from me, bitch.
I cherish women.
Then I took a cab to go see my grandma.
Grandma? Is this guy for real?
In my work, over the years with survivors, there’s this amazing power, this freedom in coming forward. Something like this changes you, but it doesn’t reduce you.
It will not define me, it will not break me.I will not be ashamed of what happened to me. There’s only honor in being a survivor.

8.5/10

The Middle 8.16

Go find a place it will look nice in.
The Donaghues?
I like Axl.
Where can I put this towel, so the cleaning lady can find it.
School.
Let it ring.
Hey everybody, my mom and dad are here! They never come to these things!
Ron did you throw away a flyer? Ron?!

4/10

Nashville 5.09

We all knew Connie thought of leaving, but this was brutal! Next episode Rayna had this line where she said she wants to live, because she has two daughters and now Connie just gave up on them. They brought Nashville back to kill Rayna off?

Oh my God, that’s Rayna James.
Miss Barnes?
If you know who I am, you know I don’t take orders.
She doesn’t care anymore. It’s just my mom. She’s the only one who cares.
It’s just a stupid concert.
Don’t say that. Don’t ever say that,okay You have a gift, honey. It’s your priveledge. It’s your responsibility to share that with people.
You know who also loves you? Deacon.
I love you, Deacon.
I love you, Rayna.
All I ever wanted was for you to be proud of me.

10/10

Nashville 5.10

You know how Juliette said she will never forget the first time she heard Rayna Jaymes sing and I will never forget the first time I heard this beautiful song Rayna had ‘. I don’t think a song has ever got me like this. Whole 100 percent. That song was me to the fullest.

Bucky crying and Maddie crying on stage and Daphne and Deacon helping her finish Rayna’s song.
Because your mother meant the world to so many people.
Why did mom have to die?
Life can be so beautiful and then so cruel.
Juliette Barnes would like to see you in her dressing room.
You’re her daughter, you should be doing this. This is not my song to sing, it’s yours.
I will never forget the first time I heard Rayna Jaymes sing.
Her daughter, Maddie.

7.5/10

This Is Us 1.09

I got my parents hooked on this show and they are just as mesmerized by it as I am. As of this week, I only have 3 episodes to go.

I can find people who can roll their tongue, they could be my birth parents.
She kept everything it, she always made sure we’re all safe.
He has an extraordinary father, who gives him everything.

4.5/10

How to Get Away With Murder 3.14

Just enough to make me want to die.
People get depressed, so they drink.
You’ve been coming here for 26 years nd you’re still a mess.
Conor might have killed Wes.
You should be begging her not to kill you right now.
Both of your sons are dead.
I can’t let you testify, but Laurel can.
Very good, did you learn that at Middleton or did you commit purgery before?
I want Wes’s immunity deal.
Whoever killed him cut the gas line.

5.5/10

The Goldbergs 4.14

Attention perverts, look away from the hot dog girl on a stick.
Nobody loved the mall more than my brother and sister.
You may not even have to pay for college.
Damn it, where is my pen?
You’re walking me down the red carpet at the Academy Awards.
If I ever get a job in show business, I am not taking you as my date as anything.
Our Hollywood dream is back on the table.
Your mom’s in La La Land.
A stethoscope?
For when you’re a doctor.
Keep making your movies.

Modern Family 8.14

That was without a doubt the shittiest episode of Modern Family.

He’s interviewing for a job in the Warehouse. He’s a forklift operator.

0.5/10

Riverdale 1.05

I put it in my notes to get that funeral song, and It’s Think up Anger – Shout, it was played when Cheryl walked to the aisle dressed in white, so that’s what I’m doing.

Every town has one, the house on the haunted hill, all the kids avoid.
No more sleeping in Jason’s bed.
Sorry to interrupt Social Breakfast Club.
Polly was trying to hurt herself, that’s why she was send away.Well of course you’re not
wearing it.

6.5/10

The Good Fight 1.01

I was enjoying this show until they made that SVU meets Trump episode. And I’m really angry with Maya being bi, not gay.

I’m a lawyer.
What about my retirement money.
Heard you got fired.
And she was just fired.
No you’re not, let’s go.

9.5/10

Big Little Lies 1.01

It’s not nearly as good as I hoped it would be, I do like the opening credits though.

He choked her.
I’m defending you, woman.
Defended her when she’s physically assaulted.

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.

9.5/10


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.

3/10


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?

Switched at birth 5.02

Bay got a job as a Tattoo Apprentice.

Those guys were talking about robbing you.
I speak Mandarin, I know ASL.

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.
Welcome, everything is fine.
You Eleonor, are dead.
Eleonor, find Chidi.

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.

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.

4/10

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.

3 / 10

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.

5/10

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.

Grey’s Anatomy 13.10

Our favourite show is back from holidays and it doesn’t exactly pick up where we left off. Bailey, Arizona and Jo visit a women prison and we don’t learn anything more than we knew 2 months ago. The episode itself feels like a poorly made stand-alone straight to DVD film that maybe only Lifetime would show. It’s also the first episode where Meredith isn’t present, Ellen voices it over but the lack of Meredith is easily noticeable, saddening and frustrating. One of the few things worth mentioning is the Orange is the New Black reference. The inmate’s mother did not want to see her granddaughter’s birth. That scene brought tears to my eyes. I did end up crying for 20 minutes, but that doesn’t change the fact that we could have actually learnt something more about the characters, but instead we wasted our time.

In Orange, they strip Search.
No one intends to end up here.
I have a prosthetic leg.
Totally normal, don’t engage.
Murder, gangs.
Which one’s she?
Just another patient?
How about focusing your attention on keeping your k10 client from killing us.
I once helped a guy I liked rob a convenience store.
Stars, they are just like us.
Dr Bailey.
That’s chief Bailey.
I hate people.

5.5/10

Bones 12.01

What an episode! I will miss this show dearly.

They can still be somewhere in the Jeffersonian.
Call Booth, I’ve got her.
He’s in the basement.
I had nightmares because of evidence indicating Zack.
Dr Brennan.
I should have been kidnapped more often.
He was receiving regular visits from an associate of yours Dr Sweets.
But when Doctor Sweets was murdered Zack had trouble processing.
Communicating with someone of lower intellect.
I’ve been reading Dr Brennan’s email.
So I can keep up to date with all my friends and colleagues.
Dr Brennan, Hodgins, Angela and Doctor Saroyan.
Agent Booth and I are not friends.
What’s that untitled folder?
Zack is the one who’s going to make it so Hodgins can walk.
What do you mean Bones is gone.
I want to find out why she left.
The evidence is conclusive, he’s guilty.
Maybe your gut needs a probiotic.
What are you saying, you didn’t think he was guilty the first time with the lobbyist.
Stay away from me.
Conjoined twins.
After being separated from his other half, the killer must have adopted his dead twin’s personality.
I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t kill him.
It’s his legs, he’s lost his feeling. And it’s probably for good this time.
I nNever killed The the lobbyist.
I believe you.

10/10

Bones 12.02

Brennan turned 40 and I’m feeling old. Max is doing chemo or something and I really don’t think Max’s possible death in the last episode is necessary.

I’m re-examining the evidence from the lobbyist’s murder.
This is a big one, you’re turning 40.
Could you give us a hint on a dress code?
Yes, wearing clothes would be advisable.
Let go of my clippers.
Is it as bad as I think it is?
Doctor Brennan appears to be 78% curious and 22% jealous.
Agent booths is 94% amused and 6% sceptical.
Dr Hodgins or should I say Peter Pan?
Hey, perverts!
I’m the one who recommended her.
And I also nominated Angela.
Grandpa, you dropped this.
Happy Birthday!

6.5/ 10

The Middle 8.12

One of the weaker episode, but still very good, plus they sang Kelly Clarkson’s ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’. Cindy, the one who always wears a Safari hat is into fashion. Nothing funnier.

Brad, what am I thinking.
I hope you’re thinking I should come with you to no-cut acapella.
Career expo and job fair.
I’m not really into books, that I’m into fashion.
I can take over the diaper because that enter.
Did we not tell him?
Here’s the thing Axl you haven’t been around a lot, I sold the diaper business.
Life is gonna kick you around a lot. So you may not wanna tear off all your clothes and flap around on the floor every time you hit a set back. Things kinda have a way of working out.
She gave me the finger, she loved it!
They’ve found their sweet spot early.

How to get away with murder 3.10

I love Bonnie, but they need to bring Eve back to represent Annalise.

Eve would be a conflict of interest.
The baby is Wes’s.
I just got back from therapy.
I thought why can’t this queen defend me?
We are bad people.
About the murder of Wes Gibbins. I did it.

5.5/10

Nashville 5.03

Maddie becomes an intern at Highway 65. Child actress Bridgit Mendler joins the cast.

It’s like what Britney Spears used to do.
It’s not like she’s Taylor Swift.

2.5 / 10

Nashville 5.04

At least Scarlett called Rayna her family. his season started off intriguing and turned into a drag. I really wish they could bring Lyla back.

You have FOMO –  fear of missing out.

3. 5 / 10

Scandal 6.01

You know Shonda wrote this episode when the freshly elected president gets shot and killed. It was an icredible episode that made me want to rewatch the entire series.

It’s over, you lost.
Vice president Cyrus Bean.
I voted for him.
Legally, the next presidency is wide open.
Practically, the next president of the United States is who you say it is.
He paid an assassin to shoot Frank Vargas.
I think Cyrus might have had something to do with it.
That could’ve been me.
Mary would make an exceptional president.
Because the other choice just tried to kill his way into the Oval
Fitz, I want it. I do want it.
He murdered his way into the White House you’re doing nothing about him
Been like this since she got here.
Doctors say he’s in shock.
I don’t want to fix another election.
I’m handing you America take care of it.
Good luck sign.
You want to murder her or marry her?
It was Cyrus Bean, who killed President Vargas.
You son of a bitch, I know you killed him and I’m going to prove it.

I’ve started Modern Family, because of Married with Children withdrawals. I’m finishing season one and the show is only half as good as the Bundys and most of the comedies I watch. The Middle, for example is pure gold. I’m enjoying Sofia Vergara’s character, I also like Ed O’Neil’s character (duh Al Bundy),  Cameron and Manny.

SVU 18.08

A lesbian mom hits on Olivia making her uncomfortable and a child of two mothers is kidnapped. Olivia breaks up with Tucker.

Who loads a truck at 4am in the morning?
Actually, in New York, it’s not that uncommon.
You must be used to talking to people on worst nights of their lives.
No wedding ring, are you in a relationship Lieutenant?
Actually, I am.
I’m sorry.
That’s okay. I’m seeing someone.
A few months ago you told me you were happy, but you were crying.
I remember.
And you were right, we were never gonna last.
Take care of yourself, Olivia Benson.

7/10

The Middle 8.11

Frankie wins a maid! Almost none of them are any good and she keeps exchanging them, one of them kept saying that the bathtub, for example is non-fixable. Each time she came up to Frankie and said ‘Mrs, I need to show you something.’ and Frankie kept telling her to leave those for her to wash later. Axl moves into temporary housing with Sue, but they all get kicked out and Lexie finally caves in and lets her dad rent an apartment for her and Sue.

We won free maid service!
We’ve had the college experience, and the orphanage experience and the prison experience!
It was my real life Downton Abbey dream come true.
She clearly made some bad life choices.
Worse than us?
My favorite sister!
I’m your driver.
He’s cool, got 4 stars.
Mrs, I need to show you something.
Food is old, everything is rotten.
Mrs…
I know, I know, just show me.
If I give up, this is who I am. But as long as I’m trying, there’s still hope.
Brick is 3 years away from graduating from high school. Sue is always at home and Axl is about to graduate, so you know he’ll be moving back in.
I mean, I have a daughter, but Coleen is better.
You can’t win twice.
That’s truer than you know.
Home is where the crap is.

8/10

The Goldbergs 4.12

School is closed as it has snowed in and the Goldberg kids are stuck at home. While Adam and Barry build and igloo and fight with Murray over the thermostat, Erica is about to send in her college application. She wrote and essay about her personal hero, and Bev gets a little intrusive when she finds out she’s the hero. Sending application by post and listening to the radio announcements as to which schools are closed made me feel nostalgic. This show is a ray of sunshine, brings hope and just makes the future seem promising.

Am I still asleep or did he say closed?
Meanwhile, mom cleaned Erica’s room, like an FBI agent.
87, temperature of the rich.
Every day you roll your eyes at me and you tell me I’ve ruined your life and I know that’s how it goes, but it hurts.

3/10

Nashville 5.02

Season 5 started off so well, unfortunately, the next three episodes did not meet the criteria. Rayna asks Deacon to write their story.

I want us to write our story. Together.
Like a book?
No, a record, like a concept album.
If I don’t take this risk, I’m not gonna be an artist anymore.
Some of the best music comes out of some darkest places.
You’re the one that’s always telling me that pain is the gift.
You’re right, the pain and passion, it’s worth it.

3.5/10

The Good Place 1.10

The show wasn’t that good, but watch it because you’ll enjoy season finale!

I’m ranking my favorite fast and furious movies. You said you wanted to know who I am and this is the best way to get to know me.
Are you making a move on me?
Maybe you, if he doesn’t pick me, I’m gonna start throwing stuff.
I take it the moron is me.

3.5/10

The Good Place 1.11

We learn how Jason died.

I’m sorry, crazy high Eleanor was my nickname in college.
Walmart. A place regular people go, you haven’t heard of it.
Well, fork you too.
That’s cute, I love you too, little egg.
One of the giraffes tried to hump him.
No, not cool, he stopped learning at the age 7.
Yeah dog, ‘I love butts’
Oh that was another serious crime I comitted, I should have mentioned that earlier.
Is it just me or am I acing this test!
He suffocated to death in there.

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!

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)
