Sons of Anarchy 4.07 "Fruit for the Crows" reactions

I'm telling you right now, that if you watch this show and have not watched this episode yet, close this window and don't come back until you watch it, because I am going to spoil maybe the best episode of the whole series so far.

And we thought last week's episode was shocking.

Honestly I didn't even care about anything else that happened in this episode. I think Tara needs to grow a pair and realize exactly what kind of life she is going to be marrying into.

Let's move on with the couple things that I do what to talk about. The tension between all the Sons has been high since the beginning of this season. We all knew it was all going to explode eventually. And with Bobby calling a challenge on Clay's leadership of the Club, it's just getting started. I seriously gasped and screamed at my television. Bobby was the last person I ever expected to hear that from. He was supposed to be Clay's biggest supporter. But since they became drug runners, their friendship has been strained.

Obviously, I'm perfectly happy with this. Clay is seriously being the biggest douchebag in the world this season. Now I can't help but thinking how this vote is going to turn out.

But let's get to what this episode is REALLY about. I have been THRILLED that Juice is finally getting a main storyline this season, having been one of my favorite characters since the beginning. However, I have also said since episode one this season, that if this gets him killed, I am done watching this show. My threat almost came through tonight.

Theo Rossi (Juice) really shined in this episode. First, I loved the episode opener. Juice kneeling at Miles unmarked grave, praying. All the praise to Kurt Sutter for all the fantastic Juice moments he gave us in this episode. I was literally pleading with my television for Juice not to listen to Eli. The one thing I have to say is that I am really starting to like Eli. There is nothing he can do. He already tried to get Juice off the hook, but with the DA breathing down his neck, he has to do what he's told. The more episodes we see, the more I am convinced that Eli is going to do something to help the Sons, or at least Juice, by the end of this season.

When the DA tries to turn Juice into a rat on the Club, it hits Juice hard. Which leads into the heart wrenching scene where Clay gives him the "Men of Mayhem" patch. I was just in so much pain for him it's indescribable. Here he is, forced to be a snitch, and he has just earned that patch. I can't imagine the pain he is in having to choose between his life and the love he has for the Club. We then come to the final scene. In the dark, beneath the same tree this episode started, Juice is sewing the patch onto his cut. Then, puts it on to hang himself.

You guys have no idea how much I wish I had video of my reaction to this scene. Part of me knew what he was going to do, and the other really hoped I was wrong. After all, what other choice did he have. There's no way he can rat on the Club, and he obviously doesn't want to go back to prison. And he definitely doesn't want the Club to find out the truth, especially after Clay gave him the patch. So, he goes with the only option he has, killing himself before the Sons can find out the truth. Not only that, but he hangs himself over Miles' unmarked grave. He is dying for his sins.

When he put that chain around his neck I stood from my chair and started sobbing instantly, screaming at my television. It was legitimately and physically painful to watch that scene. In fact, I was crying so much that I didn't hear the branch breaking and the thud of him falling to the ground with the Sons logo came on the screen. I had to go back and watch it again when I read a post on Tumblr saying that Juice wasn't dead.

Although he is still alive, I am still keeping my promise. If Juice dies, I am done with this show. In the meantime, ALL THE AWARDS TO THEO ROSSI FOR THIS EPISODE. ALL OF THEM.

MTV do to a 'Rocky Horror' remake.

There are no other words to say except that I find this VERY unacceptable MTV.

I knew there was a reason I hated MTV now, besides the fact that they don't even play music anymore.

I was browsing through tumblr like i do pretty much every day and i got an idea to compile a list of my Fall Tv girl crushes. The girls i'd love to be friends with or related to. So here's a list of my top 10 girl crushes in no particular order:

The Walking Dead gives a bloody comeback!

AMC's gory hit The Walking Dead continues it's supreme reign of everything horror on cable networks. Bringing in a whopping 7.3 million in it's second season premiere last night, the hour and half long episode reminded us all why this show is so fantastic.

It's nothing exciting to breakdown on a jammed packed freeway. But when you have a swarm of zombies heading towards you... it could get a little intense. I applaud this episode's writer for creating such a high intense mood in the first ten minutes. The episode turns into a manhunt as one of the groups children disappears in the woods after being chased by a couple walkers. Now, I could talk about this episode for ages, but there are a few scenes that I would like to mention.

When Andrea argues with Dale to give her gun back. Now, I have to admit, I thought she was whining a bit. But, that scene was fabulous. I have never heard an argument where I actually ended up siding with the person that wanted to commit suicide. No matter what she says, of course it has something to do with her sister's death, but I still ended up siding with her. The world is different, and if she wanted to end it in a bang instead of being eaten to death by monsters, or becoming one herself, I honestly can't blame her for that. Bravo for the writing and acting of that scene.

At the the same time, I cheered when Lori finally spoke up to Andrea and made her shut up.

I noticed while liveblogging the episode on Tumblr last night, that a couple fans were upset that it drew the religious card. I disagree. I didn't see it that way at all. I actually think when Rick was pleading inside the church for a sign, was the best scene of the episode. He has become the leader of these group of surviving misfits. He is the one that has to make all the hard choices and now, there is a kid missing. They have nowhere to hide, nowhere to go and nothing to look forward to but an endless road ahead. He was pleading for help. For a sign. A great scene for actor Andrew Lincoln.

Especially considering how the episode ended. A deer, still surviving in this apocalyptic world. It's supposed to be a sign. I honest to God thought that the missing kid was going to suddenly burst out of the trees and then the credits would roll. I DID NOT expect Rick's son to get shot by a hunter. I was watching the episode with my mother, and we both screamed.

Although I expect the viewing numbers to drop slightly in the second episode as they usually always do, with an ending like that, I expect somewhere between 5 and 6 million to pop back in next week.

Slither - Episode 5 of The Secret Circle

Jessica Parker Kennedy is such a bad-ass this episode. She has a new spot on my list of new TV girl crushes. Here's my comments and reactions to Episode 5:

• Hello Nick. You can come wake me up for school like that any day of the week. Even on the weekends.
• eek. Melissa must be PMSing....oh wait she's got that demon thingy in her...it crawled into her ear.
• I believe Grandma is starting to get suspicious and is on to you Cassie. 
• Geez Melissa take a midol or something would you?
• I'm still iffy about these parents....I know they are trying to get their powers back...but i'm still suspicious of them...i dont trust them.
• Holy eff Melissa....Creepy. 
• This totally looks like they are digging in my brother in laws' back yard. seriously.
• I'm pretty sure that suitcase doesnt have a book of shadows in it....it reeks of something evil.
• Aw Grams is being a concerned parental figure. "Please don't make the same mistake." You know Cassie you should just tell her. She probably already knows, and I'm sure she can teach you everything you need to know about being a witch. Besides Grandma witches are always way cooler than mom witches.
• His name is Charles. Diana's dad name is Charles... see I knew i'd start to remember the parent's names eventually. He's still creepy and weird....and reeks of evil.
• Yea that's not creepy or anything Melissa.....because you know we all know you dont normally talk like that.
• 20 points to Faye for figuring out something isnt right with Melissa. Excellent facial expression Faye. 
• Hello Diana and Adam.
• Whipped cream. Well this just got a whole lot more kinky.
• Holy Jeebus Melissa. Damn Jessica Parker Kennedy. Bow down.
• Diana and Adam, this is hot. Finally some hot and steamy action.
• aww poor adam. way to get cock-blocked by the circle being in trouble. 
• aww Nick i love you for saying that. "We have to save her." you really do care about Melissa dont you?
• Damn. Jessica Parker Kennedy you play one amazing possessed person.  Seriously.
• Finally Cassie tells grandma whats going on. 
• Grams to the rescue. Isnt it always a grams that comes to the rescue on these witch shows? I believe so.
• "Melissa I know you're in their. I saw you. come back to me." Aww tear tear. Nick you care about it. its so sweet.
• A Demon needs a host.
• The demon has now passed from Melissa on to Nick. oh lovely.
• To get rid of a Demon you have to Drown it or burn it. well i guess that cuts down the time to get rid of it in half, because well you know on charmed, they always had to make a potion and say a spell in order to vanquish a demon. so if you just have to burn it or drown it. it just becomes that much easier right?
• burning the suitcase in the bathtub. 
• Oh shcnap.. now we have an evil Nick. this isnt good. its kinda hot. but nut good.
• "Nicks not here anymore."  that was sexy hot there, the way it was said. 
• The demon talking " I've come to do what I'm meant to do. I want the circle. I need a new body. yours will do fine." - I probably shouldnt have laughed at this line but i did.
• The parents have knocked Nick/demon out. and now have to drown him.
• They are drowning Nick. THIS ISNT GOING TO END WELL!!!
• WHAT THE HELL!! Don't just stand there!!! Give him CPR!!! 
• This isnt right, He shouldnt be dead. they could have saved him. Gave him CPR like Bonnie did to Matt on The Vampire Diaries. 
• UGH. This is just not kosher.
• Cassie and grams had a heart to heart.
• "What good is magic if you can't save the people you care about?" 

So now whats going to happen to the circle now that Nick is dead? Is there power broken up? are they no longer bound? did they really burn all those demon snakes that were in the suitcase or did a couple slip out? 

The Reckoning, or shall I say Klaus throws a fit.

Last night I finally got to watch the latest episode of the Vampire Diaries. (Yes I know, a day late and a dollar short. Welcome to my life.)  However I was rather under the influence of some pain pills that I was taking for my toothache and well my comments and reactions might me a little whack or odd or maybe they just seem normal. 

• Oh hello Matt. We've missed you. Wait..Why are you acting like inspector gadget? 
• Ahhh. oh it just's mouse traps being set up by the Mickey Mouse club.
• AHHH HOLY FUCK!! KLAUS!! 
• Uh Oh! Spaghetti o's someone's super pissed off!!
• Hello Krazy Katherine. Kissing Damon while he's driving? Really? thats an accident waiting to happen. Oh wait though, Damon's already undead so he cant really die in a car crash now can he. 
• Elena where the eff are you going? you know you aren't supposed to go anywhere by yourself.

• oh now shit. Figures. Klaus would attempt to turn Tyler into a hybrid. That was bound to happen
• Rebekah and Klau's bickering makes me giggle...
• AHAHAHAHA Rebekah just drags Tyler across the floor like he's a bag of potatoes. heheehe
• How, why did she kidnap Jeremy?

• buh-bye Dana.
• Michael the Michael the vampire who hunts vampires. OOOOO thats Sebastian!!!!

• DAMON TO THE RESCUE!! Wonder pets go!!!

• Why am i still crying??
• Stefan is acting like first episode Damon.
• AHHHHH ACK! WTH. 

Sex, Lies and Hard Knocks High - The Lying Game.

The run down: [the only things that are actually important in my book]
The real Sutton who is pretending to be Emma is released from jail. and Lexi (Emma's best friend) (otherwise known as Becky from FNL),  is the one who picks her up. She lets her stay at her place. Sutton got a taste of what its like to be middle class, she also told off Emma's lousy foster mom. (Yay for that.)

Meanwhile Emma who is pretending to be Sutton, apologizes to Ethan about her drunkenness the other night and accidently lets it slip that that she's never had sex before. As Emma tries to evade the conversation they make their way through the living room and overhear Kirsten and Ted arguing (Sutton's adoptive parents.)

Emma comes to terms with the fact that the family she has been living with are all telling lies.They lie about everything to each other. No one seems to ever tell the truth.

You can tell that Lexi knows its not Emma. She's Emma's best friend of course she's going to be able to tell the difference, especially when Sutton shows up at school wearing a fashionable dress. Sutton gets her and Lexi invited to a casino party and she manages to convince Lexi to steal money out of her mothers special jar and go to the party. Sutton sucks at black jack, and this random hot guy ( i forgot his name) takes over as the dealer and basically manipulates the game so that Sutton (he thinks its Emma, the same girl who keyed his car the year before) can win her money back.

Kristin, (Sutton's adoptive mom) reveals to Emma that they lied about her birth mother being dead. (We've known that since the beginning.) She also tells Emma that all she knows is the name on the birth certificate. Little does she know that that's not the truth at all. Mama-Kristin has no idea that her husband has been lying to her. Oh schnap.

Derek broke up with Char, because Alec blackmailed him into it. I really hate Alec. He needs to get shot or hit by a bus. ( i say that phrase way too much.)

Char gets a strange phone call from her Aunt Annie that she's never met and isnt allowed to talk about. If you havent been watching the show or keeping up this far, then I'll fill you in. Annie is Sutton and Emma's birth mom, and Ted and Alec have been trying to keep everyone from finding out.

Derek overhears Char talking to Mads about her random phone call from her Aunt Annie. Being pretty clever he tries to blackmail Alec with the information, saying that he will tell him what he knows, but only if he lets him get back together with Char. (Derek obviously really likes and cares about Char.)

Ethan. Ethan. Ethan. I love Ethan. This episode he spent trying to tell Emma not to worry about everyone's feelings. To just tell them what she knows.

Sutton has a goodbye conversation with Lexi and gets on a bus headed back to Phoenix.

Oh I almost forgot about the nasty Letter that Sutton mailed to her parents about Emma. Luckily Emma was able to intercept it. And she shared the letter with Ethan and nearly breaks down about having to leave and saying good bye to everyone and to leaving Ethan behind. and Ethan says (probably my favorite line out of the whole episode) "Wherever you go Emma, I'm coming with you." Swoon.

Overall this episode was pretty okay, nothing super shocking. The only thing that is really memorable is Ethan telling Emma that he's going to go with her, if she has to leave. (Sqee.)


Predictions/Theories/ETC:

• So we know that Annie is Char's Aunt and that Annie is Emma and Sutton's birth mother. I have a feeling that Alec is Emma and Sutton's birth father. which would be incestuous considering that Sutton slept with Thayer....but then maybe Ted is their real father? My bets are on Alec. He seems to be the only one who knows that Sutton has a twin.
• I'm pretty sure half of the nonsense that has happened on this show could have been avoided if Sutton had just shown up from the bus stop with Emma in tow and confront her adoptive parents. but i suppose that wouldn't be very good television now would it? 
• For Monday's season finale, I'm really hoping that the fact that Sutton has a twin comes out. 

My Reaction to Last nights episode of The Secret Circle

I decided to try recording myself while watching a tv episode. This is the result.

Hart of Dixie - Pilot Episode.

My thoughts and commentary while watching the Pilot episode:

• Rachel Bilson narrating throughout the episode was adorable. I've missed her voice and her face.
• Who the eff names their kid Lemon? People who name their kids after fruit are mental.
• A pet alligator? Only in Alabama I suppose.
• Rachel Bilson playing a doctor is somewhat believable, after all she did play Summer Roberts on the O.C and Summer did go to Brown.
• Why is the nearest coffee stand 11 miles away? Its Alabama not prison! What is wrong with these people? 
• The other Doctor (Dr. Brick the dick) needs to stop being such an asshole and should probably get hit by a bus.
• The hot guy is engaged to Lemon. Should have seen that one coming.
• Lemon...Really? I still cant get over that name. 
• Hah now I get it, She's sour.
• Zoe saves the day by delivering Mabel's baby. 
• And The reason Zoe was left with Dr Harley's half of the practice, was none other than the fact that Zoe was his biological daughter. 

Despite the girl named Lemon, I think I'm going to really enjoy watching this show. Its cute, adorable with a country accent. Plus there's a couple of good looking males that have that certain eye candy appeal. Definitely a keeper. 

Someone Needs To Get Hit By A Bus.

I have been known to watch a few shows here and there on MTV, like The Hills and The City. MTV sometimes have these really great shows that the media picks up on and makes it huge. However I’m wondering why Awkward hasn't made it into the ranks like Jersey Shore has (I hate Jersey Shore with a mad burning passion) because Awkward is Fantastic and definitely should get more press than it has. (Or maybe it has and I just haven’t noticed?)

Anyways this past summer I instantly fell in love with the show Awkward. It’s a typical yet somewhat realistic look on high school. Some things are a bit more dramatic. But it’s super cute and adorable and every time I watch an episode I fall in love with Jenna and can easily relate when she has a horrible day. She has to put up with a mean girl named Sadie, (who needs to get hit by a bus and die like yesterday. That’s probably really mean, but the girl totally deserves it) and two boys (Matty and Jake) who don’t realize that they are both fighting for the attention of the same girl. Jenna also has had  to deal with the stigma of her accidental almost suicide and has been trying to make people see her as more than just that girl who tried to kill herself, even though she hadn’t been trying to kill herself in the first place. It was a complete accident after reading a very demoralizing and reducing self-esteem carefrontation later that she had received the day she got back from summer camp.

All season long we’ve been trying to figure out who wrote the said letter and in the last couple minutes of the season finale it looks like it might have been her own mother.

I can’t even fathom how a mother could even write such a horrible letter to their daughter telling them they are boring and that no one would even miss them if they disappeared.  How cruel is that? If Jenna’s mom had written the letter and Jenna had actually died from her accident, wouldn’t she be in some deep bat shit quilt over the fact that she practically just made her daughter kill herself? I sure as hell would be, but then again I would never ever write a letter like that to my own daughter.

There’s a part of me that’s hoping that maybe her mother didn’t write the letter, but from the looks of it, all signs are pointing right at Jenna’s mom. Let’s pray she didn’t, because if she did I just want to kill her (Probably by hitting her with a bus.)

The Promos for Next Weeks Secret Circle and The Vampire Diaries.

This promo "Heather" for The Secret Circle freaked me the hell out. Its some freaky ass shit. and Here's the promo for The Vampire Diaries. Was that Stefan I see being tortured? Oh schnapps.

Better Late Than Never...

I’m pretty late to The Secret Circle party. Not like super late, but late enough. I’ve been anxiously waiting to watch The Secret Circle all summer long and of course my luck when it premiered I was without internet and cable so I wasn’t able to share in the enjoyment. I was so mad I was almost in tears. (Not really but I was disappointed that I didn’t get to watch it.) Anyways I wanted to share my thoughts and comments I had while watching the First, Second and Third Episodes. (I guess it’s lucky that I didn’t have cable because I got to watch all 3 Episodes back to back.) Here we go…

Pilot Episode: Pilot.

• Did the producers steal The Vampire Diaries stylist or something because I feel like everyone is wearing something that you would see on TVD? Also Elijah hair much?
• Can I just mention how much I am loving Faye? She is so badass.
• The scene in the forest is cute. I loved the scenery in the background. Reminds me of my home town with all the brown and green.
• Diana’s dad (I forgot his name, I’m just going to call him Elijah’s doppelganger because he looks so much like him) creeps me out.
• Right away I could see the whole Adam and Cassie intensity. I can only imagine how much more it’s going to grow.
• The glow in the dark stars on the ceiling reminds me of my childhood when I had glow in the dark planets and stars plastered all over my ceilings and walls.
• I feel like there are characters missing…but then again I think that’s just because I’m a fan of the book series so it’s sometimes hard to accept the changes in the story.
• I can’t help but wonder if Cassie got water in her boots during that rainstorm…it’s a totally legit question right? I think it is.
• Whoever designed that book of shadows or whatever the hell it’s called is talented. I totally want one for myself.
• Also the song that plays right before the title credit is whimsical…I think that’s the word I’m looking for…all I know is that it fits perfectly for a TV show about witches.

Second Episode: Bound.

• Sally totally resembles a younger Bonnie.
• Diana’s dad looks too much like Elijah, from the hair to the suit. Really he could be his twin.
• I love how out of control the circle’s powers are, especially when they get mad.
• I have a feeling that the house is going to be significant in some way...
• The crack at Harry Potter was funny.
• I want to know why the Grandparents stripped their children’s powers. Was it because of the accident that killed half the circle or was their another reason?
• It seems that whenever Adam and Cassie are together, Sparks Fly (literally.)
• Melissa (I’m pretty sure that’s her name) totally has the hot’s for Nick and I totally understand why. He’s not too shabby looking when he’s shirtless.
• Apparently a crystal gives a witch who is stripped of their powers, power. That’s new and interesting.
• Adam and Cassie just can’t stay away from each other can they? Sqeee!
• Faye totally had an outfit change.
• I love how rebellious Faye is. It’s quite loveable.
• So now you can also heal someone from the dead with the crystal, even though you have no real powers? (I had a raised eyebrow at that.)
• Faye’s little bit of quilt is somewhat heart wrenching. Makes her human I suppose.
• Diana made my heart weep a little with that insecure line and the way Adam looked at her. It was such an “aw” moment.
• According to Henry, (Faye’s grandfather) when the circle is bound something bad can be unleashed…I’m anxious to see what Evil is going to come into play.

Third Episode: Loner.

• I think Sally might have a slight idea that Faye might be a witch.
• What’s this make it or break it kid doing on TSC….oh his name is Luke….whatever he’s not really important just some eye candy.
• Sally is such a damn Bonnie it’s scary.
• I should probably stop noticing similarities between TVD and TSC.
• Who the fuck is this creepy Zachary guy and how the hell does he know?
• I honestly think Melissa takes too much crap from Faye. She needs to stand up to her.
• The whole parents knowing what’s going on and pretending not to know is quite comical since the kids think the parents don’t know.
• Faye’s mom (I still haven’t got the parents’ names down yet) has like the best line of the episode “We can’t kill everybody who gets in the way.” Golden.
• When the circle is apart they have no power, together they are a force to be wrecking with. (That is the correct phrase right?)
• Diana needs to lose the hoop earrings; they make her look like a hooker.
• I’m predicting that by episode five, Cassie and Adam are going to kiss, either that or the writers on going to pull the whole “will they or won’t they question” until the end of the season and then in the season finale we’ll see them kiss. That’s so going to happen. Just wait.
• To break the circle completely apart one of them has to get killed?
• What exactly happened to Amelia?
• And where is Grandma when all this is going down? Elijah’s doppelganger didn’t kill her too did he?
• All the awards go to Faye for not holding anything back when she’s “yelling” at Nick. Way to be a Bitch with a point.
• It’s interesting how the kids lie to the adults and then the adults know they are lying, and lie to cover up the fact that they know.
• Melissa and Nick make a nice couple…I for some reason want to call Nick, Nathan…I’m not sure why…maybe he just looks like one.

After watching all 3 back to back, I can’t help the fact that I compare certain characters with the characters on their sister show TVD. I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be an issue if Diana’s dad didn’t have Elijah’s damn hair or that Sally looks like a younger version of Kat Graham. I can’t wait to see if there’s some big evil thing that’s going to happen. I’m hoping it’s something dangerous and drastic and causes trouble and shit. I’m so used to watching Charmed that I keep thinking that there’s going to be a demon or something that the circle has to vanquish, but obviously that’s not the case. I don’t think anything like that is going to happen in this show, but it would be fantastic if it did. Either way I’m still going to watch this show even if it doesn’t turn into Charmed. I love my witchy stories.

Until next time…

P.S Anyone know what the shipping name is for Adam and Cassie yet?

Vampire Diaries 3.03 "End of the Affair" reactions

I want to do a pretty in depth write up about this episode because of everything that happened, but that means I will have to watch it at least 3 more times.

Until then, I want to give you guys my first impressions about the episode.

First, this single episode was better than the ENTIRE SECOND SEASON. This is the amazing flashback episode that we needed last year. THIS is the episode that I have been waiting for since "Blood Brothers" in Season 1.

It was intense, emotional, funny, and shocking. Everything that this show was in the first season and lost in the second. I was worried about this episode. I truly was. I expected it to be a huge downfall, like "Memory Lane" was last season. I was afraid that it would be boring and lose the excitement that the stories in the first two episodes gave me. Nope, it only made me more excited for the story of this season.

Since last season, we all assumed that Stefan and Klaus had met before. That was not the surprise. However, finding that not only were they "brothers" but that Stefan was with his sister is something I never saw coming. Not to mention I screamed my head off when the origin of that necklace was finally revealed and is now a VERY important object.

I have to give a nod of respect to the writers for that one. THAT. WAS. HUGE. Something that was introduced in the third episode of the series, three seasons later, will become a make it or break it moment for Klaus. Well done, writers. Well done.

The other huge surprise is yet something else we have never talked about before. Me and my other TVD pals, @IHeartTVD @Snowballx @Angelized-1st @onlymystory @entertainocd @TheRealTeal @itss_simmy @sunchick116 @dieslaughing .... we have talked about and came up with some crazy theories. But one thing we have NEVER thought of is an Original Witch.

I know I'm not going to be the only one of our group that automatically went to the Bennetts. They have always been important to the story, since the beginning. And I bet everything that this Original Witch is going to be a Bennett.

I also loved all the different dynamics we got in this episode. Those scenes between Caroline and her father were truly heartbreaking. And I CHEERED when her mother came to the rescue. Loved the Damon and Elena scene in the car with her going through his journals. I am STOKED the journals are back. I hope Elena spends a lot of time going through them. It's not as if she doesn't have enough time since apparently, she doesn't do anything except brood over Stefan and pester Damon. However, the Stefan and Klaus flashback scenes were my favorite part. I love Ripper Stefan, and all the awards to Paul for his acting in this episode. Excellent.

Overall, a fantastic episode. Once I watch the episode a few more times, I'm sure there will be a few crazy theories that come out of it, that I will be DYING to talk about.

Stay tuned.

Favorite TV Moments of the Week

These are in no particular order for me, but this scene from Supernatural is definitely my favorite. A great way to end a week of television.

1. Supernatural 7.01 "Meet the New Boss" - The Leviathan take over.

2. The Sing Off - all girl group Delilah SLAYS Bruno Mars' "Grenade". If they don't win, it will be a shame. I like this better than the original. Seriously one of the best performances I have ever seen on a music reality show.

3. Vampire Diaries 3.02 "The Hybrid" - We finally get to meet Caroline's dad, but that's not why it's one of my favorite moments. It actually wasn't surprising. It's the fact that Jack Coleman is on Vampire Diaries that has me all excited. He is as creepy as ever.

4. Supernatural 7.01 "Meet the New Boss" - The Road So Far and new title card. Yes, another moment. But this is ALWAYS something a SPN fan looks forward to. What song they will use and the first look at this season's new title card, which is by far my favorite so far.

The Road So Far - "Slow Ride":

Season 7 Title Card:

5. The X-Factor USA - I have been looking forward to this show all summer, and the auditions of Stacy Francis and Chris Rene.

Supernatural 7.02: Canadian promo

I don't know what the Canadian promos are always so much better than the CW's, but they are.

Minus of course, that now old title card.

Supernatural 7.02 "Hello, Cruel World" promo

Not only is this the return of Mark Pellegrino as Lucifer (HAPPY DANCE), but poor Sammy is confusing what is real and what is not. This is going to be like schizophrenia on LCD. It seems like it will be a crazy creepy episode, and I can't wait for next week.

It's so fantastic to have Supernatural back.

Vampire Diaries 3.02: "The Hybrid" review!

Jack freaking Coleman.

Otherwise known as HRG or Noah Bennett from the cult science fiction series "Heroes".

And let me tell you.... he still does creepy better than anyone.

I have to say, I have been a constant Klaus fan since Joseph Morgan showed up at the end of last season... but if Caroline's dad is going to stick around for a while, I'm pretty sure that Jack Coleman is going to channel creepy better than anyone on this series. Before I jump into my review of this episode I just want to give a STANDING OVATION to Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson for their superb casting of science fiction and fantasy stars for the last two seasons.

Okay... on to how stupid Elena was this episode... I don't know how many times Elena has to decide to do things on her own, and get in trouble before she learns NOT TO DO IT? She is the most idiotic and stubborn person I have ever watched on a television show and I love Alaric so much for pointing it out. She's right, Damon could have gotten bitten AGAIN because of her. It actually takes her LITERALLY looking in the face of death for her to run away from it and realize that she is only human.

I gave Damon Salvatore a standing ovation for throwing her into the river. By far, the best Delena scene ever to grace my television. In all honesty, I understand Elena's yearning to find and help Stefan, but she is also too stupid to truly understand how dangerous that will be. And, I have a feeling that it's going to get someone killed this season. It just better not be one of my favorite characters.

I was surprised that Mrs. Lockwood had no idea about the Lockwood family secret. Although I think we can assume at this point that Mayor Lockwood never killed anyone to turn, I can't imagine it being much of a secret to him since he was in possession of the moonstone. Why would he tell his wife about the vampires but not the family secret? I have a feeling that there will be more Lockwood family flashbacks this season. Maybe even more story for Katherine.

However, I still believe that there is something special about the Lockwood bloodline. Some of us have been talking about it since last season. That maybe, the Lockwoods are the most current descendants of Klaus's family. Either way, I think we are eventually going to find out that Klaus is going to need Tyler for his hybrid army.

Which leads me into why didn't his plan work? Why did all the wolves die? Most of us assumed that Elijah was the brains behind the hybrid plan. Did he lie, make it up, or also actually think the information was true? Either way, I'm pretty sure that Klaus is going to have some words with his darling brother.

For the next few months, I will be filling in as a fellow recaper and theorist on the Salvatore Council Podcast with my fellow TVD fans Simone and Jason as we recap, review and come up with our very own crazy theories for the upcoming season.

Trust me, if you listen you guys shall be entertained!

Supernatural 7.04: "Defending Your Life" description.

“Defending Your Life”

DEAN IS PUT ON TRIAL FOR HIS PAST SINS — Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) investigate a string of gruesome murders and discover the Egyptian god Osiris (guest star Faran Tahir) is behind the deaths. The vengeful god is putting people on trial for their past mistakes and killing them if found guilty. Osiris hones in on Dean’s guilt and decides he’s the next to stand trial. Sam steps in as Dean’s lawyer, but both brothers are unprepared when Osiris calls an unexpected witness – Jo (guest star Alona Tal). Robert Singer directed the episode written by Adam Glass (#704).

I think the words oh my god suit that description very well.

Hammer of the Gods is still one of my favorite episodes, and I have been waiting for them to include some more mythological gods into the mix again. With Dean put on trial because of the weight of his guilt, this is definitely going to be a very emotional episode. But honestly, the thing that I am REALLY excited to see is Sam being his lawyer.

Sam, who was going to into Law School before he joined Dean back on the road to find their dad way back in Season 1.

This is going to be an epic episode.

Fall TV: The Playboy Club series premiere

"The Playboy Club" is one of the series I have been looking forward to all summer. Not because of the story, simply because of Eddie Cibrian. I fell in love with him back during "Third Watch" and I am very excited to see him as the lead in his own series, especially on NBC.

Usually, I don't let myself get attached to new NBC series. However, "The Playboy Club" has had a great promotion push all summer, and this is a story that many demographics are going to watch. Interestingly enough, the NBC affiliate in Salt Lake City even banned this show from their channel. A nice way to get more people to watch it if you ask me. However, if it doesn't pick up in ratings, we may not have a chance to get attached. It debuted only with a 1.6. However, it was also against the season premieres of "Hawaii Five-0" and "Castle" both popular series on their networks. I personally think it's worthy of a save.

I enjoyed the Pilot. It was intriguing and didn't take it's time to step into the story. New bunny Maureen accidentally murders a mob boss and keyholder to the club, Nick Dalton feels obliged to help her out. Not only is there a murder mystery for the other characters to solve, but we also get the history of the real Playboy Club. It takes place in a world where all the characters have their own agendas. Throw in a murder and now two of those people have to count on each other... it's bound to cause some great drama. The writing was decent and the acting even better. These are definitely some faces that can make a great ensemble cast.

I just hope NBC realizes the potential they have in this series and don't axe it too soon. But then again... this is NBC we are talking about here. When have they ever made a good decision about a new series?

Emmys 2011: A night full of upsets!

Although it was no surprise that Modern Family took away most of the awards in the comedy category, it was a night full of surprise and upsets in drama and TV movie or miniseries categories.

Jane Lynch may not have been as funny as I hoped, but the opening number was hilarious as she walked through the sets of some of the most popular series on TV. I was a particular fan of how annoyed Sheldon Cooper was to have his thai food interrupted by a musical number in their living room.

The first upset of the night occurred during Lead Actor for a Comedy Series. Everyone thought for sure the award would finally go to Steve Carrell for "The Office". However, fans are once again left disappointed because Jim Parsons took home the award for the second year in a row or his performance as Sheldon Cooper in "The Big Bang Theory". It would be only the first time, but not the last, that I would scream in delight in front of my television.

One of the funniest moments of the night had nothing to do with Jane Lynch at all. As they were announcing the nominees for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, starting with Amy Poehler, each one made their way to the stage like they were announcing the finalist for Miss America. It was priceless, especially when neither Poehler or Tina Fey took how the award like everyone thought. Melissa McCarthy nabbed it for "Mike & Molly".

Martin Scorsese won his very first Emmy last night for Directing for a Drama Series on "Boardwalk Empire", which would be the only big award the HBO series would win. However, it is not the only HBO series that would get snubbed last night. "Game of Thrones" nominated for almost everything in the Drama categories would take home only one major award, but it was definitely the one they deserved the most.

My Twitter feed and Tumblr dashboard exploded with applause and delight when Peter Dinklage was announced the winner for Supporting Actor in a Drama Series as Tyrion Lannister in "Game of Thrones". I personally screamed and danced around my living room, melting back into my chair when he thanked the dog sitter watching over his beloved pet back in New York. It is no secret that this man was born to play this exquisite character created by fantasy author George R. R. Martin. And he did so perfectly, bringing that character to life on screen better than any adaptation I have ever seen.

Another great and satisfying surprise was finally seeing Margo Martindale winning an Emmy for her performance as the villain in last season of "Justified", one of my favorite new shows. She was in fact, the last person I thought would win this category, but I am so beyond happy that she did. Her performance was excellent and chilling. And her acceptance speech is one of the best of the night.

However, it was towards the end of the night my heart almost completely gave out. I have never been a fan of the politics that sometimes determine who is going to win the awards instead of who actually deserves the recognition for that previous year. Which is why most often than not that I am disappointed or even angry with the Emmys, Globes and Oscars. But this year would go down as the happiest I have ever been with the results of the Emmy Awards. I hope the next Golden Globes and Oscars follow example.

Since it started, I have always thought that NBC's "Friday Night Lights" is one of the best series on television. It is the best portrayal of high school I have ever seen on a show with the perfect mix of drama and humor. Not to mention the amazing cast led by Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler. It made my life to see this series finally start getting recognized by the Emmy's last year. However, it didn't win. So, when it was nominated once again for it's final season, including a nod for Best Drama, I was delighted. Still, I didn't expect it to win. Yet, even up against "Game of Thrones" and "Mad Men" Jason Katims nabbed the Emmy away for Writing for a Drama Series for "Friday Night Lights".

And just like I have cried in every single episode of this series, I was in tears instantly following the unexpected scream that filled my house. And hearing "Clear eyes full hearts can't lose!" on an Emmy podium didn't help the tears all that much. That wouldn't however be the end of them. When Connie Britton didn't win for Lead Actress, I was going to resign and simply be happy with the single Emmy. But nothing prepared me for Kyle Chandler to win Lead Actor for his performance as Coach Eric Taylor, stealing it away from Steve Buscemi ("Boardwalk Empire"), Jon Hamm ("Mad Men"), Michael C. Hall ("Dexter"), Timothy Olyphant ("Justified") and Hugh Laurie ("House MD"). It was a fan's dream come true.

That was the end of the surprises last night, as expected "Mad Men" and "Modern Family" took the awards for Best Drama and Best Comedy. I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't remember ever being this happy with an awards show in my life.

Mexico MCRmy "Planetary GO!" flash mob!

If you are not in the know of what exactly the MCRmy is, it's what the fanbase of rock band My Chemical Romance calls themselves. Or rather... ourselves. I have been a fan since their first album, and yes, I will probably talk about them a lot on this blog.

Here's a great video of MCRmy members in Mexico and their planned flash mob to "Planetary GO!" from My Chemical Romance's album Danger Days.

Secret Circle 1.02: "Bound" promo

Secret Circle 1.01: "Pilot"

As far as series premieres go, I thought it was pretty decent. It's one of the most talked about premieres over the summer that gave just enough to the audience to keep them watching. Especially if you are regular to the series created by Kevin Williamson, who is also an executive producer on "The Vampire Diaries".

A book series from popular young adult author L.J. Smith, "The Secret Circle" follows the story of teenage Cassie, who moves in with her grandmother after her mother is murdered.

When Cassie moves back to her mother's hometown, she finds herself surrounded by her mother's old friends and their children, only to find out these six families are all witches. With her bloodlines return, the powers of the second generation have grown exponentially and start conflicts among the circle of these six powerful teens. However, as usual in the fantasy genre, all is not as it seems. Not only do these powers seem to have some sort of addiction that go along with them, but the parents are not as unaware at the teens believe. It seems that two of the surviving adult generation magic circle murdered Cassie's mother to bring her back to this town for a purpose. Obviously, what exactly that purpose is will be the story line of this season.

Although it is not the best series premiere I have ever watched, it definitely served up a couple very interesting details that will keep me watching. The most mysterious of those is the tune that Cassie found herself always humming, that is also the song that plays with the title card. I feel like there that little tune is going to end up being very important later and more than just a song. I am already wondering what the rules of this world are. Obviously, there are going to be limitations to the magic they are able to perform and how exactly that summon those powers. I already find myself thinking about how it works.

But I do think the best thing so far about this series is something that me and many others get a little annoyed with about "The Vampire Diaries". Finally, we have a show where the supernatural characters, act like supernatural characters. Obviously, they have secrets to keep. But they know they are not exactly human, and nor do they act like it. But sadly, the only acting performance that I didn't feel was up to par was Brittany Robertson, who plays the lead Cassie Blake. In a show where we definitely need to be rooting for this main character, I am not on her side yet. In fact, I am on Diana's team, portrayed by Shelley Hennig. I want Cassie to just get over it and the join the Circle already. Even though we are only one episode into the story, I feel like Diana should be the hero of this story, especially with her creepy villain father to contend with.

I also like Adam, portrayed by Thomas Dekker, and Diana's boyfriend. Living and taking care of a drunk father, the audience feels sympathy for him before his second scene of the episode is even over, and it's obvious that there is some type of really special and magical connection between his and Cassie's families.

Overall, a decent premiere episode.

Stay tuned as week continue to discuss CW's fantasy thursday nights in more depth on our weekly podcast.

Vampire Diaries 3.01 "The Hybrid" Promo

Supernatural 7.01 "Meet the New Boss" Preview Clip

Vampire Diaries 3.01: "The Birthday"

If you know me from Twitter, Tumblr, or my guest appearances on the Salvatore Council Podcast and IHVD Radio, then you know that I was not particularly happy with the second season. I think they focused far too much on the love triangle and enough on what was actually happening in the storyline. It was a let down after the especially excellent second half of season 1.

Although this third season premiere episode was not as intense or surprising as last season's "The Return", it is definitely starting off with the things that I missed during season 2.

We get our first look at devastating team that Stefan and Klaus make on their quest to make a new army or hybrids. First, can we just all give Joseph Morgan a standing ovation for a continued consistent and fabulous performance of who has become one of my all time favorite baddies, Klaus? Just looking at him as Klaus creeps me out... even more so when he used that American accent at the beginning. I had legit chills going down my arms. Ripper Stefan is really terrifying. I am really excited to see all the performances ahead for Paul Wesley.

The few things that really made me happy about this episode were the small things. I loved the fact that we were reminded that Klaus is not an idiot. He is a smart and sophisticated villain who has lived for a LONG TIME. He is not going to be easy to fool. When he confronted Stefan at the end of the episode, it gave us a nice reveal that Stefan may not be true Ripper Stefan after all. He gave himself over to Klaus to save his brother. Yet, as Damon reveals, the remorse is still piled on his shoulders. Burying himself in blood is more about trying to make that remorse easier, rather than because he wants it.

For me, this show was never about the love triangle. It's always the story of two brothers that are vampires. In season 2, that storyline was lost in the suffocating Damon and Elena story lines. Stefan confronts Damon in the episode and warns him to stop looking for him. Not so much on Klaus' order, but I still think after all this time, there will always be a part of Stefan whether on human blood or not, that is trying to save his brother. My favorite episode of the series so far is "Blood Brothers" from season 1. This scene reminded me of the flashback when Stefan forces Damon to complete the transformation into a vampire. For once, Damon is not the one in control and has no choice but to submit to his baby brother.

One of the things the fandom debated about all summer was whether Damon would even want to find Stefan. I was adamant on the fact that he would. And clearly, when Elena found his secret stash of clues, that Damon is almost desperate to find him. As usual, Damon keeps every emotion hidden and buried, showing them only when he is pushed into a corner. But after his run in with Stefan, it's clear that it may not be as easy as he thought. Part of him was hoping, even after seeing the signs in city after city, that Stefan wasn't as far gone as he thought. He finally took out all that disappointment and anger out on Elena when she confronted him. It was another great scene and performance by Ian Somerhalder.

Overall, a decent premiere episode that I think was better than most of the episodes in season 2. I can't wait to see where this hybrid story ends up.
