You should really watch The Mindy Project

Tomorrow marks the long awaited return of the glorious Fox comedy The Mindy Project, which E!Online appropriately named "TV's best sitcom". If you haven't seen this show, I'm gonna give you five reasons why you should really give it a shot (and a cute little video with some of the show's funny moments).

5. The Cast
This show has one of the best ensembles on TV, hands down. Every character is funny and quirky, with a whole lot of heart. Morgan Tookers (Ike Barinholtz) will make you laugh every time he speaks, and if you don't want Danny Castellano (Chris Messina) to be your boyfriend then I guess you're into girls (in that case, Mindy would make a great girlfriend).

4. The Guest Stars

Mindy Kaling knows lots of cool people, partly because she used to write for/ star on The Office. This show is chock full of cameos by stars like James Franco, Seth Rogen, B.J. Novak, Ed Helms, Ellie Kemper, Anders Holm, Glenn Howerton, Seth Meyers, Clay Matthews (?!), etc. You'll see a few of them in the video. 

3. The Humor
This show is just so hysterical--the writers are so smart. You can watch every episode several times because you are always gonna pick up some little joke you didn't hear the first time, or something funny happening in the background. I made this video of funny moments from the show, and I actually struggled to decide which funny moments to include because there are about 5000 in every single episode.

2. Mindy and Danny
These two have one of the best relationships on TV right now. Their will-they-or-won't-they tension is so great...they started out hating each other, then they became best friends, but you can sense the attraction from the very first episode. The back half of season 2 (which starts TOMORROW!) will introduce their romantic relationship.

1. Mindy Kaling
She is everyone's spirit animal. She's so fun, blunt, confident, cool, and talented. Why wouldn't you want to support her super awesome show that is basically a romantic comedy in TV form?

*TOMORROW AT 9PM ON FOX. (viewer discretion is advised...just in case that sort of thing bothers you...)

Reign 1x16 "Monsters"

He was known as "The Barefoot King"

Well things certainly kicked into high gear tonight on Reign. I'm gonna start with the obvious--the problem that is affecting everyone in the castle: What the hell is wrong with King Henry?! He has actually gone mad...like pouring-hot-wax-into-an-innocent-noble's-ear mad. Now he seems to have some crazy ass servant girl, Penelope, Queen for the day, who is just as twisted, by his side. Like, this girl even manipulated Catherine...that's hard to do!
Basically everything bad happened tonight--some things worked out, but no one was happy about any of it.
Bash and Kenna are now married because the King hates both of them. But I can't help but be excited about this because that means Bash is back in court for good and obviously this marriage is going to bug Mary. Yes, she loves Francis and that's fine and all, but she has feelings for Bash too, and having her sluttiest lady-in-waiting be married to a guy who would be her second choice? This is gonna be fun to watch.
Poor, poor, star-crossed lovers Leith and Greer. They were kissing in her bedroom when her fiance and a gaggle of servants busted in (doesn't anyone knock anymore?) and saw them. So Greer got dumped and Leith was sent off to join the army. But don't worry, Peppercorn still wants Greer, so they're engaged now. I do not want to see that consummation.
Now, Lola is married to Greer's ex-fiance. Yes, what a tangled web. But it was Greer's idea and will fix the problem of Lola being single and noticeably pregnant. Forgive me, I am not a history buff, but did people not know about the whole nine months thing? How is she supposed to explain how she's showing right away, or how she gives birth like, five months after she gets married? I guess we'll find out!
OMG how did I almost forget about the action-y stuff. Bash and Francis rekindled (kind of) their brotherhood out in the woods searching for the Darkness. We know now that Francis did not try to get Bash killed, and Bash saved Francis from drowning/ freezing, but Mary has divided these bros in a way that probably will never be repaired. Which is sad, because I love bromances...even more when they're brothers.
 Finally, let's talk about the only French person on this show that actually has a French accent, Olivia. And Nostradamus. They finally kissed. And we also found out that Nostradamus' family died from the plague. Sad :(I don't ship them, but I don't not ship them, you catch my drift?

So we have a week off, then Reign returns April 10th with "Leige Lord". Here's the promo:

The Vampire Diaries 5x17 "Rescue Me"

Why does crazy sh*t always have to go down in junk yards?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but tonight for the first time in a long time, I felt like TVD has developed a clear direction for all of it's characters. For the longest time I felt like Bonnie, Jeremy, Tyler, and Matt were just hanging around doing nothing, but with the addition of Luke, Liv, and this traveler storyline, all characters who previously just hung out in the background seem to be actually getting a storyline with some relevancy. I actually don't love this traveler storyline though...it's real shady and confusing...I guess they needed Stefan and Elena's blood to bring back Markos, but who is Markos and why does "the universe" revolve around Stefan and Elena's blood. I assume we'll be getting some more answers soon, but I don't mind the weirdness of the travelers because anything is better than that cure storyline last season, and with Katherine gone (RIP), maybe we can finally get into some new stuff as opposed to recycling the old.
Let's talk about Tom. Sweet, sweet Tom. He was Stefan, but with less angst, a medical license, a love for waffles, and flat hair. Of course Caroline had a hard time killing him. He was completely innocent. And very much like Stefan (I don't think I realized the extent of her feelings for him until tonight...more on that later), so Enzo had to do it. At least it was quick and painless. Now, as far as we know, Stefan and Elena are the only living doppelgangers...which is just what the travelers wanted. Again, don't ask me why.
Now onto the horn-dogs who almost did it in a school so the moms with minivans could hear them (that was kinda hot but mostly weird), Damon and Elena's sexual tension was through the roof on the show tonight. That's how it always is though, when they know it's wrong but can't help the attraction. Anyway, at least they are both acknowledging that they have a volatile relationship. They just need to work on themselves and then maybe they can have a healthy relationship (when the show is over and Julie Plec doesn't use their sexual tension as a plot device weekly). Now to a purer love, the writers really threw Steroline in our faces this week like "here catch! You WILL accept them as a couple" and I guess I caught because when they were snuggling at the end of the episode I was giggling. Also, just the way Caroline was looking at Stefan (and Tom!), gurl has some feelings! Romantic stylez (please get this reference). I mean, it would make sense that the two best characters on the show got together. I just wonder if they actually will, or if this is just a little detour off the Elena highway (that's a bad metaphor).
Overall, an enjoyable episode, but next week it looks like all of us Stelena fans (yes I'm liking Steroline, but I will always love Stelena) are gonna have our hearts ripped out when Stefan and Elena both dream about how their life together could've been (I'm guessing it's a doppelganger thing) and it's directed by dreamboat Paul Wesley! Here's the promo:

Adding on to my New Girl reaction:

As I sit here in bed trying to go to sleep I'm thinking about totally normal and real-life things...like Nick and Jess' relationship. When I talked about their break up before I think I was only thinking in terms of tv love. While New Girl can be outlandish it can also have it's real life moments. Jess and Nick are not compatible at his current state of maturity. He needs to grow up and realize that at some point he's a man and that comes with responsibilities. I think their love for each other makes their relationship worth salvaging, but some major soul searching has to be done first. I'm getting callbacks to Casey and Cappie on Greek with this situation...ya feel me?

Brooklyn Nine-Nine 1x22 "Charges and Specs"

Okay where to begin. The season finale was filled with twists and turns of awesomeness that will just add to how much I will miss this show over the summer (and the rest of spring--this will be a long hiatus!)

Jake's last day at the Nine-Nine? (Probz not)

When Jake goes after a philanthropic civic leader, Lucas Wint, Amy and Captain Holt decide to help him despite Commissioner Podalski's attempt to shut the investigation down. Turns out Jake was on the right track and Holt had to ask him to get himself fired so he can go deep under cover for the FBI to investigate a crime family involved with Wint. Great, let's make my ridiculous crush on Jake Peralta even worse by making him an undercover FBI agent. Thanks a lot writers! Like any brave strong man who seizes the moment, Jake confessed to Amy on his way out of the precinct that he always wished something happened between them, you know, romantic stylez. But they can't talk for 6 months and who knows if he'll even make it out alive! (I think he'll make it out alive.)

Boyle and Vivian broke up (called it) and he was an emotional wreck. How much of an emotional wreck? He was dressed like Neo from the Matrix and was basically swallowing hard-boiled eggs whole. ick. So Rosa, who maybe or may not be developing feelings for Boyle, made it her mission to help him feel better. And she enlisted Jeffers and Gina to help her. Gina kept saying over and over again (with the help of her English/emoji hybrid language) that Boyle needs a hookup to move on, so when Rosa and Boyle were flirting at the end of the episode I assumed I knew where that was going. OMG WAS I WRONG. Boyle and Gina slept together! Yes. You read that correctly. BOYLE AND GINA.

What a great finale to cap a great first season. Andy Samberg has really proved himself more and more every week as a comedy force with heart and a killer ensemble to back him up. I cannot wait to see what's in store for next season.

New Girl 3x20 "Mars Landing"

The True American way to pass out drunk.

Well that sucked. How did an episode that started out so amazing turn into such a disappointment?

The episode began with the gang playing True American; that game really seems like the most fun thing EVER--who wants to play it with me?? Anyway, those guys are the funniest hungover people I've ever seen. Of course, it was overdone because it's New Girl, but that made it more hysterical. Nick and Jess in bed attempting to talk, and Jess licking water off of Nick's fingers? That was comedy gold...which made them breaking up at the end of the episode even harder. Despite their differences (which we heard them fight over at length during the episode) these two really love each other, so when they decided to break up I couldn't help but yell "Are you serious? Come on!" at my tv. I can't imagine this sticking--especially since they have to keep living in the same room--but I guess it creates more tension having the main couple apart for a while. "Will-they-or-won't-they" is more fun than "they will", I suppose.

Now to the boys. The beautiful Alexandra Daddario (Michelle) and a-friend-who-I-don't-know-and-who-is-in-a-relationship-and-of-no-importance-to-this-story moved in next door, so Winston, Schmidt, and Coach all turned into move-in men to try and win Michelle over. Of course,it turned into a ridiculous fight resulting in the breaking of mirrors and vases. I would say, despite his crazy outfit, Winston came out looking the best by the end of this episode. Also, do y'all really wants this girl? She seems like trouble.

Cece's relationship with the baby kangaroo (I honestly don't remember his name) is preeetty boring. So the whole storyline where she drunk texted him was of no interest to me, to be honest. We've all done it gurl. The best part of this storyline was Schmidt's commentary: "This isn't a text message it's a Russian novel!"

*NEW POLL OF THE WEEK IS ABOUT NEW GIRL CHECK IT OUT.

Valar Morghulis

Game of Thrones Season 4 premieres in TWO WEEKS! I've heard that this season will be the darkest one yet...

To get you ready, I made a video with scenes from season 3 (it's relatively spoiler free though, if you've never seen the show before!)

The Vampire Diaries 5x16 "While You Were Sleeping"

*sorry this is so late!

Let me start by saying that Nina Dobrev is a sneakily great actress. When I say sneakily I mean that this is the CW and the storylines are mostly silly but she can breakdown better than most, and I'm always pleasantly surprised whenever she gives a good performance. Not to mention Elena and Katherine truly seemed like they were like two separate people...kudos to you, Dobrev!

Elena told Damon she looked terrible here, and I haven't ever looked this good.

Moving on. Blah, blah, blah. I don't even know. I don't have too much to say about this episode.
At least Elena was bothered that no one noticed how weird she was acting (or Katherine) these people have known her for so long...they should've figured out sooner that she was acting weird. I really enjoyed her finding Katherine's journal and her reactions to reading it--including her hallucination in the hotel with Stefan. At this point I think I need to let go of Stelena...it looks like hallucinations are us Stelena fans (I think there are like, 5 of us) are gonna get anymore.

Which brings me to Delena. The fight they had at the end of the episode was great because it was all true. They do have a toxic relationship. She kinda brings out some good in him (until she hurts his feelings) but he brings out the worst in her. They have an unhealthy effect on each other. But the sexual attraction/ Delena fandom is too strong, so I'm sure they'll work all this out and actually have sex while in the relationship.

So, Stefan has another Doppelganger. That is just great. I'm being serious it's great: it makes total sense because Elena exists so there should be a Silas doppelganger around her age and also I will take as much Paul Wesley on my screen as I can, thank you very much. He is a work of art...sculpted by the gods (let me stop drooling on my keyboard). And how fitting that he's a doctor or EMT or something in Atlanta, because Stefan wanted to be a doctor when he was human!
Enzo and Caroline have headed down to Atlanta to take baby Stefan out for the travelers but I have a theory....
So we have all of these Steroline shippers, right? I don't think (at least for the time being) the writers are putting those two together; they're better as friends. But what if Caroline meets baby Stefan in Atlanta and they hook up? Then she doesn't want to kill him, and maybe that's how Markos comes into the picture? Just theories.

Other notes:

• Liv is sketchy. I KNEW IT. 
• Maybe Jeremy and Matt can just get there own Supernatural-style spinoff? (JK I HATE SPINOFFS) because these two have no life purpose other than being used as live bait.

Scandal 3x14 "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"

We didn't get a chance to make out tonight because of your drama, Cyrus!

Woah. Such crazy things happen on this show every week. I have to admit, I'm a little scared that because it is so good now, it will run out of steam by season 5 or so.
Thankfully, the suspense of who was shot was taken care of within the first 20 seconds of the episode. It was James. Poor James. He has been abused in so many ways...he was just trying to do what's right while no one else is. But also, who can really blame Jake. We saw at the end of the episode that he felt remorse for what he did. I gotta admit I shed a tear or two while he sat with James until he died. I love Jake! Even though I feel bad that James had to go, I don't feel bad for Cyrus. All of this is his fault--he really is the dark mark on the whole Grant Administration...he keeps things running, but at what cost? Internally, he has caused nothing but destruction, and eventually those problems will become external. I don't know yet if this will make Cyrus slow down and take a step back, or if it will make him even colder. It will probably be the latter.
Even though we're gonna miss James, I am soooo happy David lived. I really like David, and I like him with Abby. I also like the prospect of Olivia and David working together to fight the corruption in the government (namely B613). I can't believe I'm even going to say this but I absolutely loved everything Rowan said to Olivia tonight...it made me think twice about disliking him so much. All we ever hear about is how Olivia "wears the white hat"; that's the theme of the show. She's a white light surrounded by the darkness and corruption of politics; it makes sense that she should be the one to pull the good out of the rubble (so to speak). Jake, Fitz, Mellie, (maybe) Cyrus, Harrison, Abby, Quinn, (maybe) Charlie...they all deserve a chance to be "saved" (I didn't include David because he could wear a white hat too...which is why they can work together).
Let's talk about one of my favorite storylines of late: new recruit of B613, Quinn Perkins! That poor

You gotta know this psycho isn't too sad about James' death.

girl is so lost. She needs family and guidance. She thought that's what Huck was to her and he made her a "monster", then Charlie fell for her and took her in. Now she's killin' it (that's punny) in B613. We all knew Huck would find out about her little break-in, I just didn't expect he would kiss her. I'm sorry. I can't ship them. Huck is too weird...I am not a fan of Guillermo Diaz. Sorry. I wasn't expecting it, but I'm not surprised; of course Huck's wildly attracted to Quinn...he created her in his image. She's totally badass. This is also why Charlie's so attracted to her. These people are totally messed up. But I do kinda like Quinn and Charlie. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm obsessed with this storyline and, now, the repercussions of Huck kissing Quinn. Does she have feelings for him? Is that why she left Pope & Associates so abruptly?
FINALLY Mellie and Andrew got it on. YES. I don't see why Mellie can't get a little action on the side...she's certainly not getting any from Fitz! Andrew treats her with respect; he really cares about her and Mellie needs a man to care about her because she hasn't really experienced that in about 10 years. The only problem is Andrew is Fitz' VP pick so this is some twisted break of the bro code. Not that Fitz wants Mellie for himself.
Quick note: Marie Wallace is terrifying. Why are Olivia's parents so scary?

Next week, the kids are back in town and drama ensues. I'm gonna go ahead and guess that maybe Fitz finds out his father, Jerry, could be his son's father. Who is also Jerry.

Scandal! This show is so appropriately titled!

Reign 1x15 "The Darkness"

Maybe it's because we've had four or so episodes in a row with lots of plot development, but tonight's episode of Reign felt a little slow. I think it served as a bit of a set up for the rest of the season though. Let's briefly talk about each of the storylines from "The Darkness" and where they could go from here on out.

Clock's ticking, Lola!

Mary, Francis, and Lola
Things were still a little off in Fraryland for the first half of the episode as Mary was focused on finding a husband for Lola. She tries to set Lola up with Phillipe at First Light and Francis seems opposed to it. At first we think it's because he's jealous but it turns out Phillipe prefers the company of men, so he's just looking out for Lola.
Mary is also real stressed out because two countries are anxiously waiting for Francis to knock her up, but he (very sweetly) assures her "I don't make love to you because I want a baby, I want a baby because I love you." Aww. But Mary is obviously very threatened by the fact that Lola got pregnant with Francis after one try and they've been working at it for months with no success. We'll see soon enough how these insecurities will affect their marriage. And we'll also see Lola's "fate" soon enough--in an interview with TVLine, Anna Popplewell mentioned that Lola marries by the end of the season.

Bash, Rowan, and co.
Bash is still chillin at the wooded love nest at the start of the episode, when we learn Rowan's house has been marked by the Darkness. Bash wants to fight it, so they tie him up for his safety and Rowan gets taken because she accidentally looked the Darkness in the eye. So Bash and her brother go to look for her and Bash decides to head back to the castle for help. I assume that next episode, he will enlist Francis, or maybe Nostradamus, and probably go flirt with Mary a little bit too. I don't know...maybe because it's still shaping up, but this Darkness storyline just feels silly (as did most of the Pagan stuff)...there are enough real issues in the castle without making up some supernatural crap. I still love me some Bash though...so any storyline of his is appreciated.

Greer and Leith

Poor, poor servant boy.

I love Greer and Leith, together and separately. How kind of her to ask Peppercorn (I will pretend this
is his name) to give him an Apprenticeship! As much as I liked the two of them, their relationship couldn't really progress, so I'm okay with him leaving. I just wonder who her new fiance will be... I hope he's nice and cute--Greer deserves the best! And I hope we start getting more screen time with her! (do you see how many exclamation points I used in this paragraph? I told you I like Greer)

Nostradamus and Olivia
It's kinda weird...the writers seem to be setting them up. And as much as Nostradamus has tried, once you are "touched" by the Darkness, I don't know if you can just choose to abandon it. I'm sure we are gonna be getting some more crazy from Olivia in the future, even if she says she's cured. And if Bash comes back to the castle and tries to combat it from within, I'm betting she might go after him.

King Henry, Kenna, and Queen Katherine
So Henry is dealing with the stresses of being king in a totally normal and healthy way--by killing young women while he's having sex with them. Ew. Why you ask? Duh, to assert his power! He is the king after all. Kenna, scared for her life because she is pretty much Henry's play thing, enlists Catherine's help in dealing with Henry. Turns out he's been having "headaches" ,and Catherine senses his obvious decline in mental stability. I'm sure as the season progresses he will spiral further and further out of control. I love seeing Catherine boss people around (out of the goodness of her heart).

I Will Go Down With This 'Ship: Couple(s) of the Week

*This is a slightly modified version of 'couple of the week' because I have to sort out my feelings.

I recently caught up with Scandal (and just in time! Crazy stuff is happening!) and something's happening with me that NEVER happens. I'm shipping two guys with the same girl. Of course you know who I'm talking about: Fitz and Olivia and Jake and Olivia. I mean, I think I like Fitz and Olivia more, but Jake is just such a good guy (or is he?) and he's really dreamy. Whenever either couple is together I'm rooting for them. I'm just so confused.

So let's compare Olivia's two suitors: SPOILER ALERT

   Both are Navy men; both have murdered people "in service of the Republic"; both want to kill Olivia's dad (but who doesn't, really).
 

THIS LIST DIDN'T REALLY HELP ME...it seems to favor Jake but that may be because I personally would prefer to date him...

ABC really pushes this love triangle and Shonda Rhimes give all three of these characters flaws and strengths that make you hate them and love them at the same time.

This also makes me never want to join the Scandal fandom because shipper wars are extremely exhausting.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine 1x21 "Unsolvable"

Whatta man whatta man whatta man whatta mighty good man

I'll tell you what's unsolvable to me: Why the hell Scully and Hitchcock are even on this show. Seriously though. Sometimes they are kind of funny--the upsie-downsie kill shot, for example, but they are too over the top stupid and a blemish on an otherwise perfect ensemble. Yeah, I said it, otherwise perfect!! Jake is basically the sexiest man alive; Amy is so OCD that it makes her charming; Jeffers is so masculine and sensitive at the same time, I just love him; Gina is outlandish and hilarious (she has a nap blanket named Wolfie "hold me close wolfie!"); Captain Holt just beats down every stereo type like he beats down people with his wicked BRF (look this up if you don't get it); Boyle is such a caring individual, and so enthusiastic (!); and under that cold exterior, Rosa has a heart of gold. I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that Brooklyn Nine-Nine wasn't really pushing the character development at first, or at least I thought they weren't. By the end of last night's episode though, when Jake was staring at Amy longingly and Terry was trying to tell him that solving every case won't make him happy, I realized how much he's grown since the first episode. Then I thought about every character and realized that each of them has grown in some way or another since the first episode. The changes have been so subtle I didn't realize that in the process of laughing at the stupid jokes, I was actually growing to love each of these characters. (EXCEPT SCULLY AND HITCHCOCK) That is a sign of great writing. I say it every week, but this show is just so enjoyable. The pacing is perfect, the jokes are always spot on, and the writers have succeeded in sneaking heart into the show without making it sappy.
Last night we finally found out that Jake obsesses over solving cases as a way of coping with an emptiness he feels (well, no one actually said this...I told you the show isn't sappy!). As I mentioned above, after Jake solved an "unsolvable" case and didn't really seem all that pleased, and Jeffers pointed out that solving cases won't make you happy when you really want something else to make you happy. That's when Jake glanced over at Amy, who's happy with Teddy at the moment, and Jeffers pieced everything together.
We also found out that Boyle and Vivian are still fighting over the Canada issue, so Rose and Gina let him use their secret bathroom/ utopia to call Vivian during the day. Of course, Scully and Hitchcock found out about it and Gina caught them doing God knows what in there.
And Amy told her first lie to the Captain when she wanted to go to the Berkshires with Teddy instead of help him over the weekend with a presentation. Turns out you can brush your teeth too aggressively, and scrape off all your enamel? Good to know.

The season finale airs next week, and I'm sure even more character development will occur (finale cliffhangers! the best/ worst plot device ever). This is totally depressing, but at least The Mindy Project comes back the week after that, so that helps with the pain of it all. 

Pretty Little Liars 4x24 "A is for Answers"

This show lacks diversity. (in the hair department).

If you haven't noticed, I've skipped reviewing Pretty Little Liars for the past few weeks because I was starting to lose interest again. I had every intention of quitting the show, but Marlene King and the gang swore they would dole out some answers tonight so I decided to give it one last shot. For once, they were actually being honest. Tonight's episode was successful in actually answering a bunch of questions while sneaking in more that will keep them going for another season.

So what answers did we get tonight? For starters, we got Alison--in the flesh--finally telling her friends what happened the night of her "murder". Turns out, Alison has been running from A for a while, and that night she was trying to smoke him/ her out. We can officially rule out Spencer (though she still needs to deal with her addiction issues) and the rest of the "liars", Ezra, Toby, and Mrs. Dilaurentis, Ian, and Mr. Montgomery. Mrs. D is involved with some sort of cover-up--she buried her daughter alive, for goodness sakes--but she didn't try to kill her. At this point I'm thinking it really could be Jason...did anyone else notice how his name was M.I.A tonight? Everyone else was mentioned...even Garrett, but I didn't hear anything about Jason (unless I missed it somehow...if I did let me know in the comments!). I think the twin theory is out...I'm really thinking A is a guy, so it really could be Jason...but I've legitimately speculated everyone at this point.

In another time, with another storyline, I could've shipped them.

Has anyone else noticed that Ezra seems to be the writers' plot device of choice recently? He has been at the center of every scandal and revelation...we find out he's A or board shorts, no wait, he's just a crazy determined writer, now we find out he's trying to help Alison and the girls, and there is actually no way of disliking him now because MAJOR SPOILER ALERT A shot him while he was trying to save the girls from him. How could you not forgive this angelic faced, maybe-crazy person who risked his life for you and gave up almost all of his work to win you back (ARIA) and help you? Obviously Aria was devastated, cradling him in her arms and ugly crying, yet again. I always knew Ezra was good(ish). And Marlene King must know that his character is important to the show's success, because he has gone from secondary character to main cliffhanger two finales in a row. There is no way they will kill him off. It's not gonna happen. The only thing that bullet's gonna do to Ezra is fix his relationship with Aria.

Now let's get to the drama in Rosewood. Crazy Melissa is back (played by the beautiful Torrey DeVitto who recently broke up with Paul Wesley...I am so sorry for your loss, Torrey), and she is once again, a suspect in the audience's eyes. What did she whisper to her dad? Who will the Hastings' protect more, Spencer or Melissa? Why are they both so messed up? Side note, why is Detective Holbrook so hott? What the frick is up with Mrs. Dilaurentis...who is she protecting?? Who is BURYING her at the end of the episode? Is this some sort of twisted revenge for what she did to Ali? And who would care enough to do that? Mona? And was anyone else totally freaked out by Mona in

Only Ali would still look fabulous while being buried alive.

her flashback with Ali? A+ acting Janel Parrish; you played emotionless creep perfectly. I would like some more background on you, too.

So it seems like I have a lot of questions, and I do, but that's what Pretty Little Liars does, it raises questions. The problem is usually no one answers them. If the show keeps finding ways to progress the storylines like they have in 4B, then maybe I won't be so frustrated all the time. Ali back in the gang should open up a whole new can of worms...it could make things fresh again.

The biggest question I had after watching tonight: Girls, you had the gun, you could've shot A when he jumped over to the other building...he was just chillin' there for a minute. If you had the chance to kill the proposed murderer who has been harassing you and your friends and just shot Ezra love-of-my-life Fitz, wouldn't you? Of course you would, but you didn't. Why? (Say it with me: It wasn't in the script, the show would be over, blah blah blah)

Bonus quote of the week: "What's N.A.T. stand for? Need a therapist?" Hahaha Ali you crack me up. 

See you in June! #EzraISalive

(Please excuse the fangirling below)

(you gotta press play before you look at the pictures to get even a small idea of what I'm feeling right now)

Obviously that steamy plane kiss did the trick, Danny.

I'm thinking we should we kiss again?

The "I know we're killing Dandy shippers" smile

Don't you dare insult my best friends I will go back to Otisville.

NOT HIS LIPS!

IF YOU NEED ME I WILL BE CURLED UP IN THE FETAL POSITION UNTIL APRIL 1st WHEN THE MINDY PROJECT RETURNS AT 9PM WITH 2 NEW EPISODES: "FRENCH ME, YOU IDIOT" AND "INDIAN BBW". BYE.

Once Upon a Time 3x13 "Witch Hunt": Something wicked this way comes?

She must get the lovely green glow from her father

On Sunday night’s episode, the people of Storybrooke still can’t remember what brought them back from the enchanted forest or why. Through a series of flashbacks, the viewers found out that it was none other than the Wicked Witch of the West. It seems that the green villain has moved on from Dorothy and set her sights on Regina her – gasp – half sister. Not to sound smug, but Regina kept saying “it’s sealed with blood magic no one could break that!” Except maybe cough cough someone blood related to you? My mom and I (because yes I spend my spring break watching TV with my mom) called that sisterly twist as soon as the word “blood” left the evil queen’s lips. It is still unclear as to why the Wicked Witch hates Regina so much or how she plans to make her suffer, but I assume we’re going to find out soon. Personally, I have never been a huge fan of the Oz stories. But I never loved Peter Pan and that didn’t stop me from liking Neverland, so I’ll give it a chance.

She turned a monster into a toy because she a badass mother

            As for Regina – let me tell you she might be my favorite character on TV right now. Season 1 she was a great villain with an even better wardrobe and hair style. Since then, her love for Henry has made her a better person, mother, and a great anti-hero. I love every scene she’s in. Her blossoming friendships with Emma in Storybrooke and Snow back in the Enchanted Forest have been great TV. I also can’t wait until she realizes Robin Hood is her true love. His son needs a mother, and as we have seen, Regina may be evil but she has motherly love to spare. 

No pregnant woman is ever ok with this

As for the rest of the gang. I kind of hate that Henry doesn’t remember. He was a smart kid that helped Emma remember she is a hero. However, Henry’s scenes with Regina have been heartbreaking in the best possible way. It’s also been cool to see Emma find her way on her own (with a little help from Hook - who was in the episode far too little considering how handsome he is). Elsewhere, it was a little unbelievable that the good citizens of Storybrooke saw flying monkeys and it didn’t ring any yellow brick road bells. But alas, that would be too easy – they had to figure it out right at the end of the episode because this is TV we’re talking about. I’m also creeped out that the Wicked Witch is mascaraing as a midwife in Storybrooke. Why is she interested in Snow’s reproductive system? Ew. I guess she’s interested in the baby. Either way she must need Rumpelstiltskin's help because she's keeping him in a cage in her storm cellar (don’t worry Once writers, I got the Kansas reference and I found it clever). Raise your hand if you actually thought Rumple was gone for good. Anyone? Anyone? Good. He’s too awesome to leave us for long.

            Personally I can’t wait to see what’s in store for all our fairytale favorites. Unfortunately, I won’t get to watch next week's episode with my mom because I’m 22 and don’t normally live with her. Sigh.

Hey friends! Check out the fun changes to my blog! You can now vote in the poll of the week (Veronica Mars themed this week, of course), check out my YouTube videos, and recommend me somewhere (if ya want!). Also, I've posted a little bit about me so you can put a face to the blog.

Enjoy!

*PS: Seriously, please take the poll. It's anonymous and if no one takes it that would just be embarrassing. 

 PPS: Also, coming up real soon, I will have a friend writing on here about Once Upon a Time and Teen Wolf. So look forward to that!

I don't usually review movies but this used to be a TV show: Veronica Mars

Busy, but not too busy to make her hair look great.

First of all I'd like all of you to visualize a standing ovation to Rob Thomas, because that's what he deserves. That movie was perfection. I have this problem with having high expectations for things and getting my hopes up. For some reason, with this film, I broke my mold and kept my expectations at a medium level, and I was lucky enough to have them exceeded.

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE. OR KEEP READING IF YOU LIKE SPOILERS. I WON'T JUDGE YOU EITHER WAY. 

I am going to attempt to not make this a lengthy synopsis...I'm gonna try to keep this solely a reaction piece, but I can't make any promises. The reason I'm late posting this review is because I wanted to watch it twice before writing about it. Yes, I bought it on iTunes! And yes, it may have been better the second time. 

So Veronica is a normal almost working gal living in NYC with her cute boyfriend Piz who works at This American Life. Sounds like she is pretty much living the dream of all of us millennials trying to find our place postgrad, right? The problem is, Veronica is not normal. As Jaime Lee Curtis pointed out, she was issued a private investigator's license at 18; normal people don't do that. And not only does she have a P.I. license, she was a damn good P.I. Yes, she made enemies and lost friends, but she also helped a lot of people in the shady town of Neptune, CA. The investigative thing is in her blood, which is part of the reason she jumped on the opportunity to go back to Neptune and help Logan.

How many hearts can we make flutter if we gaze at each other?

Logan, Logan, Logan. What can we say about Logan? My friend predicted that this movie would be
about Logan being wrongfully charged for a crime and him enlisting Veronica's help. He was just the perpetual troublemaker; the hothead with a good heart always finding himself in troublesome situations. Notice I said was. He is a changed man now; he stayed out of trouble for years and joined the Military, flying planes over Afghanistan. He fell for Carrie Bishop (yeah, Leighton Meester in season 1!), who became the popstar Bonnie Deville (why anyone would pick this as their popstar name is beyond me), and they were very happy together until she got to into drinking and drugs and he had to act more like her sponsor than her boyfriend. Does this sound like a murderer to you? Let me answer for you: no way. Logan is actually a really good guy now. Someone set him up. But who?
Of course, just like the audience, Veronica fell for Logan (again) the second she saw him in his Navy uniform at the airport. Don't worry; She didn't cheat on Piz (not saying she didn't want to)! Logan and Veronica spent the majority of the movie working together to exonerate him--cute banter and longing glances included.

cute but not epic

I'm not saying I don't like Piz...I actually really like him; he's cute and sweet and he cares about Veronica and her friends, but he's just not Logan. If anyone were to be her interim boyfriend, I'm glad it was him, but Logan really is good enough for her now, so when Piz broke up with Veronica teary-eyed over the phone, I was sad for a millisecond and got over it. LoVe was in the air because Logan pulled a bloody and near death Keith out of a busted up car right before it was hit again, then carried Veronica into her house later that night, took off her shoes, and tucked her into bed. Not only were we all crying at how perfect he is, but he perfectly demonstrated what we really knew all along: no one will ever love Veronica more than Logan. And that love was demonstrated in the following scene.*winky face* Oh, and their last scene together? Maybe I'm still a little sniffly about it. Their chemistry is electric, and their story really is epic.

So let's get to the mystery, shall we? I really appreciate the throwbacks to Neptune High with this mystery, but does anyone really stay this connected with their high school classmates? Would Bonnie Deville, international popstar, really date two guys she went to high school with? Turns out Bonnie's--who I will call Carrie from now on--murder is connected to the murder of her high school best friend Susan Knight (throwback to the introduction of these characters in 1x14 "Mars vs. Mars"). Susan died on Carrie's dad's boat, and of course, some other 09ers were on the boat with her: Dick Casablancas (who still lives with Logan, is still a great comic relief, and has gotten really hot), Gia Goodman, Stu Cobbler, and Luke Haldeman. Stu Cobbler technically killed Susan Knight by letting her OD, so he got Gia, Luke, and Carrie to dump her body into the ocean while he took their picture so he could blackmail them into secrecy for the rest of forever. The problem is that when you dump your best friend's body into the ocean, you are gonna feel remorse. So Carrie almost cracked and Stu killed her to shut her up. And he and Gia framed Logan. And then Stu killed Gia to shut her up. No thanks to Sheriff Dan Lamb ("do you think I should set a google alert for Sheriff Daniel Lamb?"), who may have been worse than Sheriff Don Lamb, Stu was finally brought in for his crimes.

Speaking of Dan Lamb, Neptune is in the worst shape ever. Let's pretend it's because Veronica left. The class war is out of control, the police station is totally corrupt, and--as we witnessed--Keith was in over his head trying to take down the sheriff on his own. Weevil almost got out, but we see him get back on his bike at the end of the movie...he has a daughter and a wife! He CAN'T DIE. WEEVIL! Okay, I can move on. I have confidence that the position of Sheriff will open up, Keith will actually win, and Veronica can take over Mars Investigations! All's well that ends well. Sort of.

Let's talk about everyone that did not fit organically into my review:

Look at this picture of my old haircut! It was bad, right?

Wallace and Mac: New haircuts all around! The sure fire way to show everyone you've changed!
Anyway, I always loved these two. They didn't have the biggest part in the movie, but they were important to illustrate in yet another way that Veronica literally left everything behind in Neptune... meaning she had everything to gain by coming back. Did Mac actually leave her swanky job at Kane Software to work at Mars Investigations or was she just helping out there at the end?

Deputy Sacks: I kinda love that he ended up being a good guy and I really hate that he had to die for it. R.I.P.

Sean Friedrich: Ew go die in a hole. I hated you whenever you were on the show, and your small, disgusting part in the movie only made me hate you more.

Della Pugh/ Ruby Jetson: This girl was funny and totally awkward. People with stalker walls are cray. I'm glad she didn't kill Carrie though, that would've been too predictable. I cannot blame her for her obsession with Logan Echolls, though. If I were sitting next to him, I would draw tiny hearts on his thigh, too.

Deputy/ Detective Leo: Be still my heart, Detective Leo. I love you. The scene with him and Veronica was perfect. I also really enjoyed the Veronica Mars, FBI agent mention! I'm so glad he is a big shot hottie detective and I hope he has a cute wife and kids.

Celeb Cameos: I saw you and enjoyed you James Franco, Justin Long, Dax Shepard, and Sue Heck from The Middle.

**P.S.: Remember Logan's hilarious answering machine messages? We got one at the end of the credits!
(please read this in your best internal douche-y season 1&2 Logan voice):
"This is Logan reminding you: if you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask which seat, just get on. Sheryl Sandberg said that. Don't leave a message. Go get on that rocket ship! Or leave a message; your call. Your decision will tell me a lot about you." 

You heard him! Go get on that rocket ship!

Modern Family 5x17 "Other People's Children" (A Gif Hightlight)

I don't know why I didn't think of this before...Modern Family is the perfect show to gif highlight!

Let me just start by saying that anytime Adam DeVine is on the show we know it's gonna be funny. He is so great; I wish he was in every episode.

Andy wants to give his girlfriend a really cool anniversary present (why not a homemade video? because that is really cool!), so he and Phil team up and it's basically a match made in heaven.

I thought you were gonna watch the game with me?

 Too bad this means that Phil and Jay won't be able to watch the game together, which leaves Luke with Jay for the day.

Haley, who has a hot date, walks in on Phil and Adam making their video and starts making fun of them. We all know she has a thing for Adam though!

Most of us have this reaction while dress shopping.

Claire and Gloria take Lily dress shopping because she is going to be the flower girl for Cam and Mitch's wedding and they don't want to see her dress. Claire and Gloria disagree on how to dress Lily. Can I just say that aside from Phil, Lily is my favorite character? She is absolutely hilarious! I love Gloria and Cam a whole lot too, but she has a real gift with that apathetic style of her line delivery.


Jay takes Luke to the garage for some lessons on manhood that Phil couldn't give him, I suppose. Everything from woodshop to how to attract the ladies was included. I think Jay is still hoping for the perfect son, and he still has wisdom to impart on anyone who will listen.




Now to the "cultured bunch", turns out even the smartest members of the family are intimidated by the brains of the group: Alex and Manny. I have to admit, Alex is the most annoying character ever. This storyline was not doing it for me this week.



Phil and Andy are still enjoying themselves making a love film. Maybe Phil should be a director instead of a Real Estate agent. I would go see this movie, maybe.






Like cliche romcom clockwork, Haley realizes she's fallen for the good guy when she helps him act out a scene for his movie.

Turns out Alex makes the rest of the cultured bunch feel like idiots...even Manny. If only Luke were at the museum with them...







Haley's lunch date finally picks her up in time for dinner, just as Andy and Phil finish their movie. But wait! Is there time to make another one??

It's runaway bride!

Back at the mall, Gloria makes Claire try on a wedding dress (because she has never worn one) and in the process they lose Lily.

It turns out that Lily just wants to dress like Belle for her Daddies' wedding. And who can blame her? Belle is by far the best Disney princess.

No room for nerds over here!

So Mitch, Cam, and Manny all feel like idiots when they're with Alex. And Alex is tired of having to dumb herself down to hang out with them. Really? Ugh. This sounds like a fun bunch!

I would rather see this version of Gravity.

Back to people I would love to hang out with...Andy and Phil make their version of Gravity and Haley looks on lovingly because she told her date off for being a jerk. You go Glen Coco!

Haley finds Andy endearing. Why? Alex points out it might be because he and Phil are so much alike. Great Alex! Way to ruin the chances at this relationship! I was hoping to see more of Andy!
