Catching Up...

Okay, I have been totally slacking in keeping up with all these shows.  I decided to group them all together in one giant post so I can get a fresh clean start!

Private Practice S6 E1, E2 - I'm a little glad that Private Practice is back so I can continue eyeing Benjamin Bratt and emulating Addison's wardrobe.  Has anyone else noticed how put together she looks? even when she's just leisurely around the house?? 

 

Well, of course the show starts off with some drama of Pete passing away.  We all saw that one coming considering they announced he would not be returning back.  Glad to see Amelia back in high spirits and getting along with Addison.  I thought the way they wrote the season premiere was a little confusing...cutting back and forth between characters and not showing it in chronological order! The moment that most people were waiting for was who did Addison choose?.....drumroll....JAKE!!!  Thank goodness.  If she left a perfect guy like Jake through her fingers, I'm pretty sure I would've boycotted the show.  As my friend puts it, Jake is just so perfect that she constantly needs to remind herself that he is fiction.  As always, since Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice are so closely tied, they wrote in the Mark Sloane storyline (for more see the Grey's section below), which obviously upset Addison.  I mean, I was upset too and I wasn't even friends with him!  Finally, Addison came clean to Jake about the cheating and her relationship with Mark.  And of course, Jake being the perfect man he is didn't care about her past and actually apologized to her!!  Complete 180 on that!  The other storylines are okay...Charlotte's having triplets, Violet is trying to move, Sheldon refuses to get a biopsy from his PSA test, Sam has moved on with a nurse from the hospital, blah blah blah.  I only really care about Addison and Jake! BUT there's a new doctor in town...the previews show Matt Long (The Deep End) has been hired by St. Ambrose to fill Pete's old position. I don't know how long he plans on staying around, but I hope it's awhile...and I hope he loses the long hair.

  

Rumor has it that this may be the last season?  I sincerely hope so because Addison is not coming back if the show continues and it won't be the same...

Once Upon a Time S2 E1, E2 - Things look like they are semi-normal in Storybrooke where the people remember who they really are.  However, their happiness doesn't last long.  It is revealed that the purple cloud in the Season 1 finale was magic? but I'm still a little hazy on how that is possible.  There is an awkward reunion between Emma and Snow/Mary Margaret and town is furious at Regina, who seems to have sort of lost her power.  According to Rump, I guess magic is different in this world?  We see glimpses of the parallel universe of the Fairy Tale land where we meet the new characters of the season, Phillip (Sleeping Beauty's prince), Sleeping Beauty, and Mulan.  Apparently there were some people outside of the Snow White and Charming's realm that were not affected by Regina's curse?  Now they are refugees somewhere?  Somehow, Emma and Mary Margaret are transported to the Fairy Tale land, but they are confused as to where they are...I would imagine Mary Margaret being Snow White would remember, but again another ?.  I guess that sets the stage for Charming's crusade into reuniting his family, which I'm guessing will take the entire season.  Clearly you are reading a lot of ? in this blurb because honestly, things are just so confusing!  Sometimes I forget why I am still watching this show...oh right...I'm a loyalist.  Is anyone else still watching this show??

666 Park Avenue S1 E2 - This show just gets creepier and weirder and we don't seem to learn a lot more about the building.  It seems like Jane has some sort of connection to the Drake because her nightmares are so vivid or they actually are happening.  Gavin tried to test Henry's integrity and Henry passed with flying colors...would you expect anything less from Dave Annable?  It was almost as if Gavin was happy that Henry kept his integrity, does that mean Gavin is not really all that bad? and he is trying to save the people of the Drake? and his job as an enforcer of these desires vs death contracts is just a job?

Last Resort S1 E2 - The USS Colorado has still taken over the remote island of Sainte Marina and they are still considered enemies of the US.  This time, people who they think are Deltas try and attack them on the island, but it turns out to be the Russians coming to steal their submarine that is equipped with Stealth technology.  Obviously, the crew led by Sam triumphed with the help of the hot Navy SEAL and I think Grace is starting to have a higher respect for herself since she proved herself to the crew. 

Things in DC are taking an interesting turn when Kylie asks her informant at the Pentagon or some Defense place to find the launch order that was originally sent to the Colorado.  Her informant then happens to be in a coma, but she was still able to get the launch order.  Now the mission is to figure out who sent it and where it came from.  Hopefully Grace's father, the Admiral, will be able to help.  Then there is a twist with Sam's wife and Sam's friend who seems like a two-faced lawyer.  What are they trying to convince Sam to do?  Turn Marcus in and believe that he will be set free?  I don't think anyone is that dumb...

Grey's Anatomy S9 E2 - We finally learn about what happened in the rescue and aftermath of the crash and it definitely filled in a lot of holes from last season and the premiere of this season.  I was quite curious about how Mark ended up in a coma when he seemed to be conscious after the crash, but we learn that he was in fact dying.  He had Richard set up his will and life support conditions, which was heartbreaking to see and by the time Avery came back with Sofia, Mark was already in a coma.  Do the writers of Grey's make it a mission to have their audiences cry in every single episode??

We learn that Christina is in a state of shock when she was rescued and didn't talk for days, but then got into her car to drive to the middle of nowhere for her new job.  I am just waiting for the episode where she returns to Seattle Grace and everything is back to normal.  She did bring up a good point about how Meredith should get the heck out of Seattle because all bad things happen there.  The ferry accident where she nearly drowned, her husband was shot, her mother died there...if I was her, I would've been on the next flight/bus out of Boston (seeing as she is not flying anymore). 

Karev and Arizona hate each other because Arizona thinks Karev should have been on that plane, which she is right.  But I don't like seeing her angry all the time.  Kepner leaves since she no longer has a job, but we know she is returning.  Do you think Kepner and Avery will end up together?  I don't know how I would feel about that...Well, hopefully next episode won't be as much of a tearjerker!

Glee S4 E4 - This was an extremely depressing episode.  Originally, there were 3.5 couples remaining on Glee (the .5 being Rachel and Finn) and now there are ZERO.  Maybe just one, I can't tell if Emma and Will are donezo.  I'm happy to see Finn back on Glee, but it seems like he's not moving forward at all with his life.  He's back at McKinley helping out with the Glee club.  My interest in Glee has been waning.  I can't tell if it's because I don't relate to the new members or the songs are not that exciting anymore or what.  I think I've said this before, but there are just too many characters to keep up with on Glee.  Bring back the old ones and get rid the new ones!!

Hart of Dixie S2 E1, E2 - Well, Hart of Dixie is back and this was one show I was surprised got renewed, but low and behold and it starts exactly where it left off.  The day after the non-wedding of Lemon and George.  I thought this season would start of interesting with Zoe finally choosing one of the guys, but who am I kidding?  The network thrives on storylines like this to suck us in!  Unfortunately, she chooses herself in the end while still hooking up with Wade.  But then she gets mad when George tries to have a one night stand and Wade has to go see his ex.  I mean seriously?!  I think the better man for her is Wade...if only Wade could put his pride aside and show his true affections.  Who do you think she should choose?...

Gossip Girl S6 E1 - The final season of Gossip Girl naturally has to start off like the series premiere did...finding Serena.  The gang gets back together to search for Serena who was last seen heading out of town using public transportation while getting high.  Do not worry, all is not lost since it looks like she has turned her life around by meeting Steven (Barry Watson).  Odd choice of an actor to play Serena's love interest since he peaked on 7th Heaven 5 years ago!  Nevertheless, they are still together after learning the truth about Serena and both return back to Manhattan.  Chuck and Blair are still together, but not technically together because they want to accomplish everything they need to before being together...blah blah blah.  Their relationship is circular.  They go through the same phases every time...here's to hoping this time is different because they're older and more mature? HA! 

Nate, Nate, Nate...still looking as pretty and preppy as ever.  I really admire his need to make something of himself and put in the hard work.  He is sort of the only one we ever seeing actually working.  I hope with his mission of trying to out the real Gossip Girl we see a lot more of him.  Side note, I actually watched him on Live with Kelly and Michael and he confirmed that we will find out the real identity of Gossip Girl...that makes the series more exciting!

Dan is still as annoying as last season.  I keep wondering to myself...what happened to his character?  I use to love Dan when the show first started, but now he's like a spineless poser of the Upper East side.  On top of that, he's scheming with Georgina, my LEAST favorite character ever.  I wonder what he's going to do with seeing Ivy and Rufus in bed together.  Btw, I had to fast forward through that seduction scene because it grossed me out!  Ivy with her scratchy voice and Rufus not thinking at all!  They now have 9 episodes left to get Lily and Rufus together.  Do we think it'll happen??
