Arrow -1×1- Pilot

Somehow, I managed to keep mostly unspoiled, so I was really enjoying the show. I was taken by surprise by what Papa Queen did.

I think I could like Digg and Tommy/Merlyn is going to be interesting to watch. I wouldn't be surprised if "Speedy's " drug use was known by Mama Queen and okayed as it makes her...pliable/more easily controlled, whether by threat of police intervention or worse (ie, what happened to her father and brother.) Love Susanna Thompson, but the "surprise"/"shocking" reveal wasn't to me. Mileage varies, but she was too commanding and too cool, imo. I also like Colin Salmon, but I hope he's not up to his elbows in dirty shenanigans with the missus.

I like the Lances. It's realistic that they may have grieved and moved on, but there is no forgetting. I hope that Dinah uses that big brain of hers to let Ollie have some space for now. She has to suspect, maybe subconsciously, that he's fronting at her. It was almost as lame as Schmidt pushing CeCe away in the New Girl finale last season.( Oliver was just short of Schmidt's "Shoo! Go away!") I don't need Black Canary in season 1, but I'd like her to show up soon-ish.

Gossip Girl -6×1- Gone Maybe Gone

Loved Dan and Georgie together, loved Serena just not giving a shit about her "friends" and their latest SAVE SERENA! campaign, loved Lily and Rufus' brief moment of friendship, loved Blair snarking on Georgie, and pretty much all of her one-liners.

What I didn't love: Are the writers serious with this shit? I was a Dair fan but I'm much more of a Blair fan. So I was hoping the season would open with her and Chuck happy and having lots of weird sex. Instead, we get Blair STILL not being happy, Chuck still angsty about daddy, and then to top it off, Blair can't even get any? And she has to wear the ring around her neck? And they'll be together, but not right now? Are they freaking kidding me?

I don't understand what they're trying to do. I was ready for Chair. They prepped us for Chair. But then they wrote Dan's smackdown, which couldn't have been more true, imo. So what are we supposed to think right now?

I just want Blair happy. I don't care who she's with. She deserves to be happy and scheme and have lots of sex. Instead she's back to the same old habit of waiting for Chuck to get his shit together. Ugh!

Rufus and Ivy (Ifus? Rivy?) are so gross. I don't even have the words.

I wish Serena had gotten married. It would have been great to see her playing the part of a Stepford wife and trying to keep up the charade.

90210 -5×1- Til Death Do Us Part

So nice to see Aunt Becky back, but yes, I too thought it was funny how there was no mention of Principal Wilson at all.

Adrianna's Vegas fling is super cute, I'll be happy to see him back in next week's episode.

I think Max is kind of skeezy now given that he dumped his bride to be on her wedding day, and proposed to his ex on that SAME DAY. Could he have not figured his shiz out BEFORE the day of the wedding?! Are we supposed to feel all warm and fuzzy about Naomi and Max even though Max's almost-wife was nothing but sweet and kind to Naomi, and now she is humiliated and completely hurt??

Annie didn't make me hate her this episode, so that was a bonus. Also, I noticed that this is the first season premiere that actually left off where it ended last season...usually 90210 does the whole time lapse where the summer months are entirely skipped out.

The Carly Rae Jepsen plug was dumb. New song sounds silly and I highly doubt Ade would be so excited to meet her when Ade has had so many brushes with ACTUAL celebrities (and not just one-hit-wonders) in the past.

Overall, really disappointing premiere..I was not super excited by anything that happened and agree with Max's friend that Naomi and Max are a MISTAKE.

666 Park Avenue -1×2- Murmurations

SO as I was watching the show.. I kept looking for Vanessa Williams.. and she appeared in like one or two scenes. From what I've read and on other message boards, both she and Terry O'quinn were the main draw, yet neither are on very much.

I'm wondering what is going on with the play-wright, did he succumb to the blondes seduction fully? Or did they just kiss and that was it? I am wondering if the blonde is a plant by the wealthy couple as a source of temptation.

I am almost positive the psychic thief girl is really vanessa Williams deceased daughter. I'm just not sure if she is a good or bad ghost.

The main couple... the less said the better.

Revenge -2×2- Resurrection

Even though I think it was cold of Amanda to lie about the paternity, I think it was also strategic. At this point, Emily had a lot of leverage. She knew a significant amount about Amanda's secrets. Plus, she will always have a connection to Jack being the mother of his child. Emily was just threatening Amanda with the truth last week. I think Amanda wanted to retain some hold over her to keep her in line. Her love for Jack probably also factors in though.

I loved the actress who plays Padma on "Greek." I think she could be fun on a show like this.

Disappointed about Declan again. Especially since his plan seems like it would become obvious to Jack soon enough.

Framing people for crimes is really Victoria and Conrad's main event, isn't it? Even WHM was not safe from their scheming.

Also, loved that Daniel passed up sex with Ashley to take a phone call from Amanda.

Once Upon a Time 2-2: "We Are Both"

Another great episode! Red and David/Charming were both awesome in this episode. I was also highly amused by Whale's inquiry over whether the nuns were still nuns or if they were available to date. I kind of love that sleazeball. And I'm glad we got confirmation regarding August/Pinocchio's current status. It really bugged me that that wasn't addressed in the premiere. I hope Geppetto finds him soon (if for no other reason than I'm dying to know how August got out of bed in his current state). It broke my heart that Geppetto was prepared to flee Storybrooke with the others before finding out who his son was.

Interesting turn of events about Storybrooke city limits (though poor Sneezy! Dick move there Grumpy!). Gold clearly wasn't expecting that, which raises a ton of questions. Such as, how did he not expect this challenge given that the curse was of his own design? And does this mean that "Mr. Gold" is a "real" curse-given identity and not just a front he maintained all this time to fool Regina into believing he was under her control?

Also, how creepy was Rumpelstiltskin in his first scenes with young Regina? I think that's the creepiest he's been all series. His lines about having held Regina as a baby all but confirm that Cora was indeed the Miller's daughter from the original Rumpelstiltskin tale, rather than just a daughter of a miller.

And I was NOT expecting Cora to appear at the end of the episode, especially not after she had pushed into the mirror (and presumably into Wonderland) in earlier flashbacks. That's very interesting.

Finally, it'll be interesting to see if Regina will take her cause of redemption seriously. I really liked her scenes with Henry this week, but I don't know how I feel about Regina turning good. She's a character I both love and love to hate, and I find sweet youthful Regina totally boring compared to her Evil Queen persona. I'd miss her Evil if it went away!

Young Justice -2×9- Darkest

They blew up The Cave!

I was NOT expecting that!

In Bart's original timeline, it appeared charred on the exterior but not completely blown to smithereens! History has been changed again. Now what?

I think the seeds planted in the eps "Failsafe" and "Disordered" are reaping a bitter harvest. Despite Dick having said he didn't want to be "The Batman" and going to extremes for the sake of the mission he appears to have done just that with losing the cave and having the other team members kidnapped. Wally had good reason to be pissed. I like that he forced Dick to realize it's possible the former boy wonder could end up being played by Kaldur if he is a triple agent. It would be a kick in the head if true.

Boy, the Terror Twins have been overdoing it on the protein shakes haven't they? They've bulked up since we saw them last!

Not suprised Garfield was watching reruns of his mom on her TV show. It's one of the few reminders he has of her. Boy wait until Me'gann finds out he's being held by The Light!!

Glee -4×4- The Break-Up

The Santana/Brittany scene was the only one that really got me (well, that and Chris Colfer's sad face).

I know this might sound weird, but during Blaine's piano version of Teenage Dream, when he began speeding up the song faster and faster, I honestly thought he was going to explode (literally).

I felt bad when Finn was watching Brody and Rachel's solo, just because of Cory's expressions. But the rest of the time...eh. Even Rachel's speech to Finn at the end was horrible because she basically just praised him. People think Brody's a catalyst to prop up Rachel to show how special she is? Just look at the Rachel/Finn scene. She basically told him off, broke it off and the first words out of his mouth? "I have NOTHING". Cue Rachel comforting him. But I did like how she said he wasn't a man because he didn't keep in contact. So, she's allowed to be set free, but not with other men. Got it, jackass.

I wonder who Blaine kissed. Part of me is thinking that it's Sam (or that's just the Sam-is-gay shipper that is still hanging by a thread).

But question: WHAT happened with Will and Emma? Did I miss something? Are they broken up? Is Will going for the job? And why the hell would he basically critisize Emma for thinking for herself and her own needs instead of his?

Last Resort -1×2- Blue on Blue

Andre Braugher and Scott Speedman have great chemistry. I kind of forget about everyone else when the're on the screen and I'm wishing them to hurry back on when they're not. I also really like the chess game they've set up between Marcus and the rest of the world- I realize its ludicrous, but its interesting.


I really like the show. Was this as good as last week? Not quite, but then I thought last week was exceptional. The only real problem I had with tonight was the fight scene, which was pretty awful, but the other 45 minutes were compelling and moving and well-done. I hope they find a better time slot for this, and I hope they figure out how to shoot a fight scene without it looking like a 12-year old's home movie. Then I'm in for the long-haul.

666 Park Avenue -1×1 — Pilot

Pretty solid pilot. I'll be watching , at the very least for a few more episodes. Of course there were some "duh" moments from Jane but there was some really good stuff too. The creepy ghost in the basement when Jane was changing the light, the elevator slamming on Louise.

Like the little psychic-klepto.

Love Quinn & Williams!

I hope some of the effects with the building improve in further episodes, some of it was pretty cheestastic.

Also, seriously-read the flipping contracts!

But yeah, I'll give it a few more episodes before I decide...but it look pretty good so far.
