Pan Am 1x07 "Romance Languages"


This post is probably going to be pretty short compared to the others I have written tonight.

I have such a love/hate relationship with this show. The past 2 episodes were getting so much  better and I was getting hooked and then came along this episode. It had a few good moments, but most of it was boring.

I loved seeing Gaius Charles back on my screen.  I thought he's scenes were pretty good and I think he's supposed to be on there for a few episodes so that's good.

I liked when the girls were getting drunk on the plane and then the captains came in. I just love when they're all together.

I really love Jeremy Davidson on this show more than I did on Army Wives. I ship his character with Kate so much. I didn't feel any emotion for Kate when she had to betray that guy. I just wasn't invested in the relationship at all.

Hm, I really don't know what else to say. 

I love how they set up every episode. It makes it interesting while they are in the sky.

My favorite scene of the whole episode was when Dean let Colette fly the airplane. It was such a cute moment and I love them together!!! I love Dean in general (he is really the one that I really connect to for some odd reason). 

Things I didn't like about this episode:
  • This show doesn't feel like the 60's and I forget all the time what decade we're in.
  • No Laura/Ted scenes because that is the only time I find myself liking the 2 of them.
  • Not that much of Maggie just because I love Christina Ricci. 
  • pretty much the whole episode.
Things I liked about the episode:
  • Dean teaching Collet to fly the airplane.
Yeah, I just don't know what to think about this show anymore. I was gaining such hope in it the past 2 episodes.




The Good Wife 3x07 " Executive Order 13224"


I feel like this is the only show right now that I can honestly hasn't let me down yet this season and it just makes me so happy to have it in my life.

In my notes that I made while watching the show, I probably wrote Cary is beautiful at least 6 times. lol I just love it when he smiles okay? I am happy that he got his promotion, but I have mixed feelings about Dana sticking around. I don't like her around Cary just simply because I get jealous and want to keep him for myself. I have no problem admitting that. I am curious as to how this Will Gardner thing is going to go down though. I wonder how many problems it will cause for the firm since its set up so they can charge that drug dealer while trying to take a stab at Will. This doesn't make Peter look good at all though. I thought he was running a clean house, but that doesn't make him seem like.

I think it's official to say that Diane now knows about Will & Alicia and I thought she knew all along, but now it's just definite. I thought she acted pissed about it and I kinda get why she would be this. Their relationship could potentially cause problems for the firm. That sexual harassment class is definitely a result of sending Will a message about how she feels without saying anything at all. Maybe I wouldn't care so much if I didn't believe that one of them would getting hurt sooner rather than later. Alicia is still acting distant towards Will and he's not really caring. I wish they would show some more Will/Alicia scenes though! haha. Even though there was a lot of tension between Will and Diane, their relationship is still amazing! I love seeing them on my screen together.

The case that they structured the whole episode around was not as good as what else happened and I like it that way. I loved that lawyer that Alicia had represent her. I so hope she gets to come back sometime later!!! She's amazing! I felt kind of sad that even Will just cared about how this would look to their firm and not really caring that Alicia could face 8 years in jail and would have to pay that fine. :/

I actually enjoyed the Peter (who I noticed is still wearing his wedding ring) and Will scenes. Everyone knows what is going on but doesn't wanna say anything. I love how Will said something like you're pitiful, grow some balls and throw a punch. I think he actually meant that, but also metaphorically. He was challenging him to do something. 

The ending of the episode was quite interesting. I noticed how one of the last words that was said on that sexual harassment video that it makes an uncomfortable work environment and that's exactly what Will & Alicia looked like. Uncomfortable. I just can't wait to see more of this!!

Other random things that I liked:
  • Seeing Grace in Peter's office. 
  • Caitlin didn't annoy me that much in this episode.
  • Seeing Cary smile.
  • Seeing Glenn Childs back
  • when they were discussing how something happened or how Alicia would say it happened. It was amazing.
Other things I didn't like (but just accepted):
  • No Eli
  • I feel like Kalinda is being benched. She needs to be friends with Alicia again
I think that's all I gotta say about this show. It was a good episode overall.

Once Upon A Time 1x03 "Snow Falls"


I am sorry if this sounds awkward. I usually don't do things like this, but I am hoping I will get better at it as I go along.

I am very impressed with this tv show. They have far past my expectations. I thought this show was going to be cheesey and just have no meaning what so ever, but I was so wrong. 
I love how strong they made the women, even when they are telling the fairytale side of it. 
I like how they changed how really changed how Snow White and Prince Charming meet. They didn't just meet at some random time. Snow White is a thief and hiding in the woods because his mother hates her and tried to kill her. I love how Snow White actually fights back and even is considered a criminal. I have never heard a Snow White character ever be portrayed as that. She doesn't take anything off of anyone and she does what she wants. I love how even though Snow White hits Prince Charming in the head and it sends him flowing down the river, he still comes to her rescue (dry, may I add) when some knights come and try to capture her and when they get away, he simply replies it was the honorable thing to do. When they go find some trolls near this bridge to get back Prince Charming's jewels that Snow White stole from him and the sold them to the trolls, they end up getting in a fight with them and again he comes to her rescue and fights. He tells her to go on ahead and that he's right behind her, but when she realizes he's not and that the trolls are actually getting a hold of him, she goes back and uses this necklace that she was saving to use on the queen. The stuff that is in this necklace just makes anything and anyone turn to dust. She just expains to him that it was the honorable thing to do. I also really love that they actually gave Prince Charming a name, James and that he is even going to be engaged to someone else. It makes it feel more realistic.

Emma Stone. I really like her. Jennifer Morrison is doing a great job with this character. I can only imagine what it feels like to have your child show up on your doorstep on your birthday and for him to tell you that you're a character from a fairy tale and you're the only one who can break the curse. Even though, it's really weird to think that Mary Margaret Blanchard (snow white) who  looks like the same age as her is her mother, I really like their relationship. I also think that their relationship is also going to be the thing that makes Emma believe in everything that's going on.

Mary Margaret Blanchard. I really perfer her as the snow white character that we got to see tonight. But I love how I got to see David Anders back on my screen. I hope he at least is in a few more episodes. After their date, I love the quote that she says to Emma about how "if finding true love was easy, we all would find it." Then when she is just trying to humor Henry when he says that John Doe is Prince Charming. When he touched her, I think that was the first thing that made her start to believe that what Henry is saying is true and that he is not delusional.  Then when he wakes from his coma and they find him near the trolls bridge, it was like he remembered her without realizing it. I also loved how they turned that true loves kiss around. Her kiss to him is what made him come conscious. I love that part so much!! She really started to believe it then too! My heart broke for her at the hospital when she finds out that he's engaged to someone else. I am pretty sure it is the same actress who played his soon to be fiance in the fairy tale half too. I think that Regina totally set that up though. He has been in a coma for years and this is the first time that she has come looking for him. 

Some of my favorite quotes from tonight
  • Not having a happy ending is painful enough.
  • If finding true love was easy, we all would have it.
  • Not having anyone is the worst curse imaginable.
I really hope they're able to keep this show going. I love it and I love they're changing those stories and making it modern and making the characters stronger and how they are able to stand on their own.

My first post.

I will probably start this blog tomorrow.

The Good Wife, Once Upon A Time, Pan Am, and How To Make It In America all air tomorrow so I will just start fresh on a new week.

Usually after each episode I watch, I will write down my review of the episode. I usually won't summarize, but more like just commenting on what I liked or didn't like.

I may even post reviews on movies and music.
