It's Always Sunny Season 7 Ep 1: Frank's Pretty Woman

That was too funny. There have been many hilarious moments on this show, but Charlie puking out fake blood from swallowing too many capsules was ridiculously funny. I almost cried.

Also seeing Elvin (from Cosby) as not Tiger Woods was a surprise and a riot(I am kinda hoping Elvin's celebrity impersonations becomes a running gag).

The crack obsession with Dennis and Dee is a great callback. Fat Mac started a bit slow but got a lot better later on. I can't imagine how shooting himself up with insulin in between taking bites of chimichangas (sp?) will work out.

Love, love, love this show. 7 seasons strong and it keeps getting better.

The Secret Circle Season 1 Ep 1 : Pilot

I liked it, but it was very pilot-y. Some nice setups, like Gale Harold's character's legitimacy as main bad-guy being established in the mom's murder at the beginning. Didn't get to know most of the kids yet but hopefully soon, which is better than trying to establish everyone plus the new town in one 45 minute pilot.


I am not understanding the previous circle bits. They are descended from witches, fine. It takes 6 to make a circle, and the current 6 all had parents who were in the circle. It is clear that Cassie's mom, Faye's mom, Diana's dad and Adam's (?) father (drunk guy) were all in the circle. Something bad happened and they all lost a parent. So, we know that most of the previous circle didn't die. Did their spell go wrong and kill off their spouses or something? Also, are the other parents also magical?

I actually like that they can do things without needing a spell. We saw instances where they were able to do things without speaking, so it's more of a force of will than anything. I think speaking out loud is probably more for the viewers so they can know what the person wants to do. I always thought that having to recite a spell would be a big time waster when you're in a dangerous situation.

The Vampire Diaries Season 3 Ep 1 The Birthday

First, I just have to say I am so so so glad this show is BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul Wesley is scary good as an unhinged Stefan and I admit I was a little teary eyed when he was listening to Elena tell him she loved him. I never thought much of Wesley as an actor but he nailed being both cold and desperately lonely. Damn him for killing Andie like that though.

Caroline/Tyler...be still my heart. I loved how he had her number all episode long. He's grown so much since season one: patient and kind, but very clear in his feelings and motivations. When did Tyler become the best communicator on the show?
So Klaus is looking to make more of himself? Interesting, at the end of last season when he had bitten Katherine and gave her his blood to cure her, my first thought was that she was going to be like him. But then I quickly dismissed that idea, particularly since Damon was cured by his blood also.

I never entertained the idea he could only turn werewolves. But it makes sense, because I guess for one thing, in the Vampire Diaries universe, you can't become a werewolf from a scratch or bite, its genetic. (Which I guess holds true for the True Blood universe and possibly Twilight? I don't know anything about that series. Which I kinda find interesting, that current vamp/were fiction has one unable to "catch" lycanthropy, whereas 10 years ago on things like Buffy and Underworld, you could. But I digress.) Also, I guess since vamps are undead, they wouldn't be able to be turned anyways, whereas werewolves, still being living creatures, could.

Poor Alaric. He's been spiraling all summer it seems like and I think right now he thinks that he's a bad influence. Hopefully he'll come around because those kids need him. But he and Elena need to stop having inappropriate chemistry (am I the only one?)

Loved Damon's confrontation with Elena. She's a tried and true teenager without a lick of foresight or understanding of consequences, and she needed to hear what he had to say. I especially liked his last line, that Real!Stefan might come back but not in her life time. What a crushing, but necessary blow, but does open up a new obstacle in her love for Stefan. How long can she really wait for him as is? Will she turn in hopes he might come back somewhere down the line? I wouldn't mind revisiting her feelings on turning. It was one of the best written plots last season.

Ringer Season 1 Ep 1: Pilot

I am totally in. SMG's wardrobe is gorgeous, and I like the character of Bridget a lot. And I think Siobhan is one evil bitch what with the cheating on the hubby with her bff's hubby and smoking while pregnant. So watching SMG being an evil bitch will make it even more fun to watch.

The clue of the photograph of Siobhan with the child seem to point that Bridget/Siobhan's estrangement comes from the death of that child - if Bridget is somehow responsible, that would definitely be enough to lead to a years-long estrangement of siblings, as well as Siobhan basically pretending her sister does not exist. It would also be enough to lead Bridget into enough self-hatred to turn to stripping/drug abuse/etc.

Anyone else want to see Bridgett turn Siobahn's marriage into a real one?? I don't know why I like those two together so much. Even though I know there's something going on between her and her sponsor I really want her and the husband to be good.... I think they'd be great together!!!

The question I was left with is, is Gemma involved with Siobhan's plot? She's the one who called Bridgett and told her to meet at the loft where Bridgett was attacked. So, bad timing on Gemma's part? Or part of the whole plot?

Unpredictable and fun. I am so in!

90210 Season 4 Ep 1 : Up In Smoke

Am I the only one who saw some kind of awkward sexual chemistry between Dixon and Quickdraw McGraw when they were having their stare off over who would get the apartment? He seems about as well developed a character as Ivy was in the beginning.

I did like the scenes with Adrianna and Silver (and Silver has decent hair again!). It is the one storyline where I honestly have no idea how it could work out, and both actresses seem to be bringing their A game.

Teddy also got a point for going the drama queen route in telling his dad he was gay by leaving a message on his phone. I smiled at that.

There are some quasi-unresolved issues with Naomi & Max which keep me intrigued.

Naomi-Austin COULD be an interesting dynamic and the guy is scorching hot.

I'm already bored by the Navid-Silver dynamic with his sister. They have enough drama going on with Ade (who I'll get to in a minute), why include her in the mess?

My biggest WTF is the whole Annie-Liam box of FAIL. Fetch isn't going to happen, so let's drop this story line. I wonder if Annie is going to be a foreign exchange student in France with Naomi in the near future ...

Ivy-Raj was pretty cute. Such a blah storyline though. Same for Dixon. Such a blah storyline.

Ade ... Foolish, foolish Ade. Why are her and Navid Jr. BFF's? She seems really disconnected from the story line and I wonder why she's still on the show. I like the actress, but I don't see how she can ever become close with the group again.

I think that there is some potential for the season.

True Blood -4×12- And When I Die

Holy hell - Tara just got Jossed. That's some shit. I knew something ominous was gonna happen to her when she and Sookie were talking about being old and sitting on the porch together and the camera lingered just a beat too long on her face, but damn. Wasn't expecting that at all. I know some of my co-workers will be rejoicing over this development, but I'm hella bummed. She brought out great stuff in numerous characters (Lafayette, Sam) and she even made scenes with Sookie tolerable. Now she's gone. *sigh* And no Tam ever. *sob* Damn you, Alan Ball.

Jesus getting killed also broke my heart. I loved him and Lafayette together, but I can't help but think if he didn't drag Lafayette into this whole Wicca thing to begin with, a lot of this shit (esp. Laf discovering his mediumness and the Marnie possession) never would've happened. Damn.

Yay for Debbie being killed and Sookie finally doing something to stand up for Tara! Too bad it happened a bit too late.

And double yay for Russell-Muthafuckin'-Edgington getting loose! Denis O'Hare was the only thing that made last season tolerable so I'm glad he's coming back.

The rest of this episode was a bore. Seriously, the last five minutes was all I really needed to see. Damn, Lafayette's gonna lose it when he finds out Tara's gone. I get why the writers went there - her death is gonna affect Laf, Sookie, Holly, Sam, Arlene, Jason...okay, pretty much everybody on the show without really changing the dynamic of the series too much. Let's be real here - Tara hasn't had a decent storyline since...well, forever. And with all these newbie characters coming in, the cast is too bloated and some people had to go. I just wish it had been Alcide or Arlene or Andy. Seriously. These people's storylines drag down every episode they're featured in. I could do without seeing them for a season or two.

But Muthafuckin' Russell Edgington, y'all! Can't wait to see that. Hopefully, next season will be better than this boring mess of a season.

Thundercats (2011) -1×8- The Duelist & The Drifter

Quite liked the episode but didn't love it. Things I particularly liked about it include the Drifter. Not only was he pretty badass, but I also loved that he literally drifted from place to place and had to walk by the end because the swords weighed him down. Quite a nice metaphor there, guys.

On the other hand, I was really not sure WHY Lion-O thought any of his actions were a good idea. Or indeed, why the episode chose to put only him and Snarf in the town. The Kittens particularly would've fitted into a nice sub-plot here (along the lines of them and the cook on the ship). Still, I'm probably more impressed and pleased with the quality and writing of this show than a lot of live-action shows aimed at adults.

True Blood -4×11- Soul of Fire

I actually thought this was a much better, stronger episode than some of the most recent ones. I actually really enjoyed it.

What did I like the most?

1. BAMF Eric. The growling, the black clothes, the willingness to die for Sookie (even though she certainly doesn't deserve it IMO). He's just willing to die for the woman he loves, whether she deserves it or not.
2. Jason's sticking up for his sister. Yes, he's a dumbass most of the time but his heart's in the right place and he's certainly showed a level of maturity this season we haven't seen in, like, ever.
3. Pam's calling Sookie Bo Peep. AH!
4. Alcide abjuring (is that the right word?) Debbie. It's about freakin' time people.

My fav part?? Andy. I never thought I'd say he'd be my favorite, ever, but he was. So willing to tell that fairy whatever she wanted to hear so he'd get laid. That's so Andy. He actually made me giggle.

Hated:

1. Eric and Pam. You do NOT pick Sookie over Pam, Eric. You just don't do it. While, damn it, your anger was some of the sexiest anger I have ever seen (but, then, there's very little about Eric that ISN'T sexy), you don't choose your lover over your vamp child, especially with your bond.
2. Pam for being such an idiot. You also DON'T shoot an obviously impregnantable forcefield with a rocket launcher. That was stupid.
3. Please, PLEASE let this epi be the end of the (majority) of the shifter/were crap. I'm tired of it. Except somebody PLEASE kill Debbie. I really don't care who just do it.
4. I'm still not feeling the Jessica/Jason relationship. It's like watching two immature children playing tag. Stop it already. Just do something will you?

This should be interesting with Marnie back. Poor LaLa.

But not that the fairies are back I wonder what kind of trouble they'll stir.

Thundercats (2011) -1×7- Legacy

I was expecting a nod to the Silverhawks, but they went one step further and mentioned TIGERSHARKS! That means that the TIGERSHARKS live on 3rd Earth! :) I'm really liking this take on the mythology, and the quest structure they're setting up for the season (find the stones, unite the animals, defeat Mumm-ra). This ep answered many questions but raised lots of new ones. I'm sure what happened to splinter all the animal factions will be revealed once Lion-O starts meeting more of the other races. How did the Berbils get screwed over?! It's shaping up to be much more satisfying than the original series' first season, which was all standalone episodes that didn't go anywhere.
