I have decided to leave Grace and Frankie, When We Rise, Feud and When Calls the Heart till April/May. I won’t have time to catch up on Transparent till late May. I’m starting Thirteen Reasons Why later next week. There’s also 10 films expiring on Netflix today and tomorrow that I want to watch.

Bones 12.08

That slow motion shot of Tempe throwing dirt on her dad’s caskett was one of the prettiest things I’ve seen all year. Sully is back, 10 years later.

Max used to buy this soda for the kids.
Sully, the only guy besides Booth who ever stood a chance.
You’ve aged.
Am i imagining or is there some sort of history there?
Without Sully, I don’t think I would have been ready for this, us. And I love this.
I love you.
I love you Bones, always.
My father gave up his life to protect my children.
The hardest battle Max Keenan started was over 10 years ago when he reentered my life.
Bye, dad.

Bates Motel 5.02

Vera’s French is the cutest thing I’ve heard in a while! Caleb finds Norma’s body. There were so many beautiful scenes this episode, including Caleb crying on Norma’s grave. I don’t understand why is Norma surprised Norman wants to date a girl that looks exactly like her, he was sexually obsessed with her last season!

I’ve gotten to know this nice girl Joanna, she’s really cute and nice.
I’m studying French.
What kind of French course is this?
Your sister, she passed away. It was a terrible tragedy. She died. She comitted suicide. It made the local news.
Norma Bates 1974-2015.
Norman Bates 1995-
I’m more of a doer.
What is it you’re always doing?
She looks like me, just like me, but 10 years younger.
Are you gonna be one of those guys?
Dylan, Norma’s kid. Your kid.
Don’t you dare talk about her like that!
We don’t have to talk about how you raped your sister.
She wouldn’t kill herself.
I warned Norma about her kid. I told her he’s gonna snap some day, she didn’t listen to me.
He’s not gonna get away with it.
Holy shit.

Local woman finds hat in a tree.

Anything you’d like to tell me?
Happy Birthday to you!
That was 5 months ago!

You look so beautiful!
Do you need someone to go with you? Ron, get over here!
I was chasing something that wasn’t probably ever a thing.

I prefer that.
See you’re not homophobic.
The thing is, that I’m kinda in love with you.
He told me that he loves me and I didn’t say it back.
I’d marry the hell out of you, ever since the moment I met you.
This is gonna be a great place to raise a family.

Riverdale 1.06

School for troubled youth.
I’m here to see my sister Polly.
Does he know that I’m here?
Who, Polly?

Polly, Jason is dead.
I pay the sisters good money, you think they don’t notify me if Polly get’s a visit?
Did you kill Jason Blossom?
This whole car is a crime scene.

4.5/10

Big Little Lies 1.03

Reese crying over learning her new friends has been raped is the single good thing on this show.

Can I call you Madeline?
As opposed to what? Arthur?
And then he got aggressive.
Then he finished.
You’re the first person I told about it.

2/10

Big Little Lies 1.04

So Reese was sleeping with that colleague of hers? And I thought this show couldn’t get any more predictable. And what up with that random car accident?

Somebody’s biting our daughter.
She was sexually assaulted.
Anything in his background?
Like he was angry he had come to this world.

Wait so the play is about puppets fucking and they all think it’s appropriate for children?!

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.

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.

Hey everybody, my mom and dad are here! They never come to these things!
Ron did you throw away a flyer? Ron?!

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.

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.

Nobody loved the mall more than my brother and sister.

If I ever get a job in show business, I am not taking you as my date as anything.

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.

Bones 12.06

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

10/10

Greys 13.14

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

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

The Goldbergs 4.13

Thanks to our mom, the old Erica, that everyone loved, was back for good.
And for one night, disco was back.

We’ll always be Chadam, even if you’re in Hollywood and I’m running a flower empire.
Chad Kemp, still my best friend.

This is Us 1.08

The plane scene was everything!

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

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

Switched at Birth 5.03

Thank God for the sexual assault storyline.

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

I feel like Lady Mary in the last season of Downton Abbey.
I can’t go to the mall wearing my house heels.
They can’t super reject him, even though one of the schools used that exact phrase.
They will not just accept any cadaver.
That’s gas! How’d you get your licence?!

Bones 12.03

Thank you Bones for mentioning one of my most favorite episodes and for that Simpsons reference. Plus watching that elderly lady hit that elderly pervert was entertaining.

Hoes before bros.
I have long been fascinated with black and heavy metal culture ever since we had that case involving the band Skulle.
I remember.
I want you to get a vasectomy.
This is where he went to heaven.
You will need a new cleaning service.
You bastard Son of a bitch.
He asked if I wanted to pork.
Go pork yourself.
A gentleman would never talk that way about Donna Reed.

This side of Montgomery Burns.
Anyone who looks at naked pictures of Donna Reed is just wrong.
Thank you you have been very very helpful.
We will be bagging your sniper.
I want to adopt.

Bones 12.04

The guy who married Bones and Booth was killed.

Needle marks on the bone.
He parts his hair to the right, most lefties do that.
This is one of those audio doorbells that record voices.
The victim was alive when the rats were eating his torso.
Rat teeth never stop growing.
Booth that’s a bomb.
He killed himself so he wouldn’t have to give me up.

4.5 / 10

Grey’s Anatomy 13.13

Second episode without Ellen, what a shame. I was never a fan of Kepner, so the patient hating on her for not being Doctor Grey made Ellen’s absence easier on me. I have nothing against April, she’s my dad’s favorite character and my mom loves her with Avery, but for me, she’s still almost as annoying as she was back in season 6. Meantime, Stephanie kills a little boy and Eliza takes it worse than her and I’m not happy about Arizona comforting her.

I am doctor.
Not Dr grey.
Listen doctor not Grey.
Any pain?
Lots. Thanks to you.
Dr Grey is nice.
I’m nicer.
Did I kill that boy?
Bailey was my favourite student.
How do you stop feeling like this?

You don’t. You put it behind you.
Edwards what happened?
He died.
He was my patient and he died, he was a little boy.
Pop the hood, pop the hood.
You could have friends here if you wanted to.

8.5 / 10

The Middle 8.14

Last time I checked, The Middle was a comedy show, which part of this episode was funny? That Mike remark about washing his teeth was just on point, he does it in every single episode. The highlight of the episode was when Brick fell down the stairs.

1/10

SVU 18.11

Sounds like sexual assault
They are hauling ass to.
Tell him that I know he didn’t mean it.
Injury suggest someone twisted his arm.
We are SVU, we know the law.
I thought only adults could go to prison.
We have evidence that your son has been abused.
How do we make it go away?
We can’t, we don’t.
Jack died 20 minutes ago.
You have witnessed the abuse?
Everything will not be ok.
I got it on video.
And protect him anymore he doesn’t deserve it.
Jack reminded me of me.

Guys in the neighborhood used to pick on me every day.
You didn’t make the app, did you, that really happened to you, didn’t it?

This is Us 1.06

Randall is gifted and exceptional? So is this show!

Are you saying Randall is gifted?
All of our children are exceptional.
What is she writing?
That’s her suicide note.
So I see you picked the fat one.
I know that you hate your assistant because she says like too much.
Maybe I was meant to be a musician. Or an artist or a writer. There’s this whole genetic side of me that nobody ever knew existed. Maybe I’ve had an artistic side of me all along and no one new to empower it. Maybe I was not destined to wear shirt and tie everyday like my parents for thought.
I’ll be in the car, intern.
If you keep up the pace, you can burn 470 calories an hour walking.
I don’t want to be different from them. If I get an A I’ll get an ice cream and Kate and Kevin won’t and then they’ll hate me.
I think I skipped the montage.
That was a middle age crisis.
Just a little one.

10/10

This Is Us 1.07

How can a doctor ask an obese person if they binge? Why do you think they have trouble losing weight? It’s an addiction for God’s sake, a doctor should understand that, but usually they’re just too condescending.

That was your fastest ran yet.
Damn right.
I’ve been killing myself for weeks and I’m down 1 pound.
Do you binge?
I hit a goal and I celebrated by eating some food I actually like the taste of.
I don’t have an eating problem.
You treated me like a dog.
The one I gave Rebecca back in the day.
And I am going to buy you the best washing machine in the world.

4/10

The Simpsons 28 .15

Wouldn’t it be nice played a few times during the episode and that was my most favorite thing.
Maybe another animated show stole it.

Who the hell are you?
I am guilt.
Wait the baby’s name is Maggie.
Even Madeline from the Madeline books?
Nerds, get them.
In the right hat, anything is possible.

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.

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.

We are bad people.
About the murder of Wes Gibbins. I did it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SVU 18.07

Olivia saves Carissi’s life and Tucker tells Olivia he plans to retire. SVU’s social media account sure gave us a scare with the whole Olivia retiring rumor. Boy was that a fright. For the first time since season 15 we’ve had an episode that wasn’t haunting or a bit exceptional.

It changes you for the worse, not the better.
Who are you and what have you done with Carissi? You really feel that way? The job doesn’t change you, it makes you more of who you really are.
It’s okay. It’s completely normal.
Not in a creepy way.
There’s no other way to stalk someone.
Yeah, this is detective Amanda Rollins NYPD SVU.
This is not your fault.
They’re predators. They look for light, they look fo goodness and try to steal it.
Being a cop didn’t change him. He was always bad.
Hope this does not make you want to retire.
No, the exact opposite.

The Middle 8.10

The Hecks go to an escape room and they try their best to beat the Donaghue’s high score. I rated it as 3.5, which officially makes it the weakest episode of The Middle.

We’ve finally given up.
We ate pop tarts, because we like to support American businesses.
That’s what’s great about you Hecks, you have fun no matter what!
Dreaming is just showing off while you’re asleep.
We beat the Donoghues!
What do you mean how was my day?! We beat the Donoghues! It was a great day!

3.5/10

Nashville 5.01

Juliette survives the plane crash and Rayna has PTSD after Juliette’s flying experience and decides to take a road trip back home to Nashville. We will probably never see Lyla again, and Rayna has realised that she failed as a producer, but she cannot produce her own music as she doesn’t feel she has anything left to say. It was the most wonderful 43 minutes we could ask for and I’m glad we brought the show back! I just loved how the petrol guy reacted to seeing Rayna. The heart-breaking scene between Rayna and the blind older man asking her if she sings in the shower was just ah, wonderful.

Oh sweet Jesus, there’s bodies, there’s two, three.
Fill it up m’am? Can I get your autograph miss James?
They found the plane 20 miles from here.
This was the plane Juliette Barnes was flying from Los Angeles.
Are you okay, Miss James?
I’m not recording anymore because I don’t have anything to say.
I’ve worked so hard to keep my label afloat, I forgot who I am as an artist.
You know how many times I’ve been stuck and then saved by somebody who at that moment could see stuff I couldn’t see.
How do you know the words.
I listened.
Don’t care for singing?
I sing a little bit.
Yeah, in shower?
You should let yourself sing.
Why’d you say that?

10/10

The Goldbergs 4.11

The episode revolves around pervy boys tormenting a girl about boobs and the Dead Poets Society and it’s incredible! And even though we knew that Barry would become a doctor, it was revealed it in this episode, they still pretend Murray is a furniture salesman, not a doctor, but I guess that was a successful attempt at making the show be more relatable. I almost wrote a shoe salesman, as I’ve been watching Married with Children reruns every day. We haven’t had The Goldbergs in two weeks and I’m already having withdrawals!

This movie proves that a sub is the most important person in a child’s life!
Female reproductive system. And out. Class dismissed.
I used to eat lunch at school bathroom.
In that moment I finally saw how hard it was for Emmy and I knew exactly what to do.
Growing up is an awkward adventure.
I’m your big sis, that’s what I’m here for.
Beverly Goldberg believed in you this whole time.

10/10

Scream Queens 2.10

I know season two sucked and almost no one watched it, but I still sort of want season 3. I will miss seeing Jamie Lee on the small screen. And even though I can’t stand Channel, it was nice to see Emma Roberts on a weekly basis again.

Oh my god, Channels are impossible to kill. It’s like their stupidity and narcissism is a protective shield.
Hester, you should have warned us.
Collateral damage.
Survival is about being skinny, pretty and ruthless.
Rich again.
You be you, America, cause Channel Oberlin is gonna be me.
