Week In Review (January 1 through January 7)

I thought this week was really good overall. I am not sure if it was because I haven't had good tv in a while or if it was because the shows were actually good.

For now on, instead of making a separate post about each show, I am gonna post one post per week and discuss things briefly and then rate each show on how I liked it.

• Pretty Little Liars 2x14- I sometimes wonder why I continue watching this show, but despite how I feel about the storyline, I am quite attached to the main 4 characters. This week's episode was doing really well until the end where they finally come face to face with A and they never turn their flashlights up to A's face. Like really now? But other than that slight annoyance, I am happy that the Aria and Ezra's relationship is out in the open. I hated that Aria's father was pissed about it when he did the same exact thing, but instead was the teacher in that situation. He really has no say in the matter if you ask me. He was the parent and that was the standard he set. *shrug* I love Hanna. I want her to be my best friend. I am happy that Caleb is back and I guess she is getting her triangle with that other guy that I can never seem to remember his name. lol. Overall score: 8/10
• Switched At Birth 1x11- I recently started watching this show when I found it on Netflix and started to give it a try. The pilot moved too fast for me and I thought I was gonna hate it, but by the third episode, I really got into it. I think I like this show so much because it really is different from any other show out there. This week's episode, involved Angelo finally getting to spend some time with his daughter Bay. I personally don't trust the guy, but I find it weird that Bay's parents are so against Bay spending time with him when they don't put any restrictions on spending time with Regina when she knew the truth about the girls being switched and didn't say anything. Yeah, I understood why Regina kept it a secret, but I wouldn't trust her after finding that out. I also liked seeing Lucas Grabeel with his regular blond hair back and not the color he had to match his mother and sister. Overall score: 8/10
• Jane By Design 1x01- I decided to give this a chance since it seemed somewhat interesting. While it was not the best pilot I have ever seen, It was enough to grab my attention and want more. I thought the casting was well done and they did excellent job at casting the boys (they're all drool worth!). The show showed good bones for it to continue and I actually like the main character which is a plus. I hope this show is kinda like Switch At Birth where it gets better after they find their fitting after a few episodes, but either way, I think I will continue to watch it until it doesn't interest me anymore. Overall score: 8/10
• Parenthood 3x12: This episode is by far one of my favorite episodes of the whole series. Everyone was mostly together which doesn't happen very often. Joel is just too perfect for this world. I think everyone could agree the standout line of this episode was when Joel held out the map and asked "is this the paper gps" or something among those lines. I also liked seeing the generations all together. I mean there was 4 of them all together and it was just nice finally meeting Zeke's mother after all of this time. Overall score: 10/10
• Revenge 1x11: I am absolutely loving this show as it goes on. I think this show is very well planned out and all of the acting is so amazing  except for the actress that plays Ashley. She kind of annoys me and I really don't see her point in the show. I am still torn between on who I want Emily to be with. I think I ship her with Jack more so than Daniel, but Daniel is just too sweet and I want to just give him a hug, but I think at the end of the day, Jack is the one she belongs with. I am disappointed though that Jack doesn't know that Amanda really isn't the Amanda he knew and fell inlove with. Maybe he just wants to believe it is since Emily shot him down. I am also sad to see Ashton Holmes leave. I loved him on Nikita and was surprised to see him play on this show the complete opposite character. I hope they bring him back though. I don't even care if they bring him back more crazy than he was before. lol Overall score: 9/10
• The Vampire Diaries 3x10: I really enjoyed this episode considering the last 2 episodes haven't been that good for me. I also wonder why they wrote Steven out for a while... I have seen a lot of hate about what Elena did to Jeremy, but I get why she did what she did. She has lost every single person in her family. The only person she has left is Jeremy... well family wise and after witnessing his almost death, I understand why she asked Damon to compel him and tell him to leave Mystic Falls. I don't care how old you are or how old she is, your only instinct will always be to protect your family and that you rather have them protected than dead. I am gonna miss Jeremy's bamf way of killing a hybrid. I always suspected that Jeremy would become more like his ancestors and become a vampire hunter. But Jeremy is only 16 and that is not what he should doing. My heart really broke for Elena. It was really the first time I realized that she is only 18 years old and have seen so many things and lost almost everyone she has ever known. The scene where Elena is at the sink with blood stained hands just made me start crying. No 18 year old should be doing that. No one should be dealing with these things. Paul Wesley's acting is really amazing and I selfishly want him to stay this way because I just love it that much. The delena kiss was expected and while I am not mad they kissed, I am not ecstatic about it either. I have become a torn shipper between Delena and Stelena. I guess Tyler is back being an ass and where has Caroline been?! The show is so nothing without her. Was I the only one that was starting to feel bad for Klaus? Like the scene where Elena tells him about Stefan the look on his face just made me sad and how me still daggered his sister just made me sad for him. He take his family around in their coffins, but won't dare to undagger them. Talk about emotional baggage. Overall score: 9/10
• The Secret Circle 1x10: I want Jake to come back and not just be in a dream. I ship him with cassie so hard!! They are my otp! I never really watched a show based on witches so I am loving how they're exploring this dark magic thing with Cassie. I have seen Britt Robertson in a few other things and didn't really expect her to do that well in this kind of stuff, but I am glad she did!! I also don't trust most of the adults in this town lol. The only one I did trust was Cassie's grandmother and now that she is brainwashed there really is no hope for any of the adults in that show. It's sad when the teenagers seem to be better than the adults. Overall score: 8/10
• Grey's Anatomy 8x10: I am having such a love/hate relationship with this show. The last episode was just heartbreaking that it reminded me why I fell in love with the show. While this show broke my heart because the girl lost half of her family on the day she turned 18, it still felt like it was lacking something. I loved the Alex Karev scenes so much. I just love how far he has come and I just wanna hug him. I guess the one thing that bothered me the most was how they pretty much said Meredith and Derek weren't going to get Zola back, but then she pops on the front porch and they don't even explain how or why. I am just annoyed how they can say the law is against them and then just hand them a baby. And don't even get me started on the whole one episode Meredith & Derek are on the brink of a divorce and Derek couldn't even look at her, and then next episode, they are all making our and shit. LIKE WHAT DID I MISS?! I guess I am still pissed about Meredith being fired for something, but Richard just gets demoted (BIGGEST DOUBLE STANDARD EVER)  and how they dropped the whole Adele story line like she was just there to serve to get Meredith fired.The episode though overall was a good one even though I complained about it, but that was because of Sandra Oh and the actress who played that 18 year old girl. Overall score: 8/10
• Nikita 2x11- While I am wondering where this show is heading, I really enjoyed it. I loved seeing Nikita and Alex working together again and how Alex seems like she forgave what Nikita did. It made me sad that when Alex finds out her mother is alive, she also finds out she has been brainwashed and suspects that maybe her mother didn't want her afterall. I am getting bored of Nikita and Michael's relationship. I wish it was drawn out more than what it was because now I can care less about them. I am now shipping Nikita with Birkhoff. Overall score: 8/10
• Supernatural 7x11-  I am never going to be able to watch season 1 again without screaming at my tv  that it's never going to be the same and then I will probably be found sitting in a corner crying because these boys are gonna lose so much. The episode was funny, but also sad as it's just one episode after Bobby's death which I am still not counting him out forever. He just can't be gone. My favorite scene of the whole episode was the last one where Sam asks Dean if he's okay and like always, Dean says he's fine. Sam says he's not okay with everything, but doesn't push Dean anymore about because he knows he's just not going to get anywhere with him. And then Dean tries to smile  like that guy told him to after all he's still breathing and alive, but Dean's eyes tell a different story. He's hurting too and looks like he's about to start crying, but doesn't. I also loved how he told the girl's dad to get out of the hunting business and how she's still young and could go to college despite her mother being killed in a horrific way. He doesn't want anyone else to go through what he has. He personally knows how much she has to lose if she continues working with her dad. Overall score: 10/10

Overall: I thought this week was a pretty good week. All of my shows gave a pretty solid episode.

Currently Watching:

Friends. I am on season 10. I am both happy and sad about this. I don't want it to end.
I also am rewatching some TVD and Fringe episodes.

Tv shows I want to begin to watch.
Roswell. While I watched the first 2 episodes, it's kind of cheesy and I want to give it a chance since Jason Katims produced it. I hope it gets better.
Downtown Abbey. I found it on Netflix and want to know why everyone likes it so much.
