Ringer- P.S You're an Idiot

"Your having twins..."

Ringer is slowly turning up the heat... and I like it. After what seemed to be like a badly plotted cry for attention from Juliet we learn that her mother was actually the mastermind behind a pathetic money sucking scheme. Suddenly Juliet's becomes the victim that got tangled up in some divorced parent drama. Her mother planned everything in order to take money from the father... everyone else involved was collateral damage. She pretended to have a relationship with the teacher only to steal the $3 million dollars he made executing her plot and threatening him with a video exposing him as a con-artist that took advantage of his rich student. When Tessa was close to exposing them, she took care of it by literally putting the girl in a-coma and stealing her money. Basically everyone got played and ended up broke in the end while Catherine walked away filthy rich.  Classy... A role model mother for sure. It won't be long before Juliet caves and tells her father about the fraud. She's going to see that he is having money issues and that his firm is getting run to the ground and than what?


But seems like Catherine isn't the only deceptive person in this town. Sadly, we see a separation of upper and lower class and their priorities. Although Malcolm and Bridget are living the good life now, they used to be poor addicts. Yet they were still honest people compared to the filthy rich liars and criminals in Siobhan's life. Andrew, a decent all around family guy, has been running a ponzi scheme and no, no matter how much we want to believe it was Olivia's doing, the idea was all Andrew's.  We encounter people and we realize that using drugs is just as bad as using people in order to get rich. The only difference is that with drugs your hurting yourself mostly but when your involved in fraud and all that, your hurting everyone else in order to enrich your own life. Thats also made very clear as Bridget places and the pieces of the puzzle together and Andrew finally tells her the truth. You can see that although she has hit the lowest of lows in her previous life, dealing with someone like Andrew is not something she will tolerate. Money ruins people. Its better to be poor and happy than rich and messed up. 


Now that Henry is onto Bridget how long will it be before everyone else figures it out?  Will Bridget come clean to escape the wrath of Andrew and Olivia, who from next weeks previews, are clearly willing to go to any extreme to keep "Siobhan" from exposing them. And what will the real Siobhan do. After planning a perfect life with Henry she finds out that she's pregnant with twins... Andrews twins. Will she come back from the dead and tell Andrew the truth or will she stick by Henry's side. With everyone meddling in everyones business its only a matter of time till all the secrets are exposed. Personally, I am still irked by the fact that I don't fully understand Siobhan's agenda. She is hiding away in Paris because she wants to ruin Martin and Charles and get money from Andrew (seems like his wives have that in common) but by giving all that information to Bridget she kind of shot herself in the toe. And going back to episode one, who was the guy that wanted to kill Bridget... Did we forget about him? Are we suppose to ignore that her own sister might have wanted to kill her? 


Whatever the case might be, truth or lie, Bridget seems to make the whole family and relationship with Andrew and Juliet work much better than Siobhan ever could. And while we are so vested in the corrupt schemes of the Manhattan socialites are we suppose to forget about Macawi trying to find Bridget? I'm sure his people have realized she has a twin and from my interpretation of people that want revenge, if you can't find the person your looking for don't you start going after the family? It would be nice to see that story line incorporated once again.

  • Bridget: I want to get married to you, I just don;t want it be like last time. I want it to be like the first time.  

Pretty Little Liars- Father Knows Best

"When you love someone it's worth fighting for no matter what the odds are"

A rather disappointing episode of Pretty Little Liars this week only because I am just frustrated and the confusing clues and the lack of revelation. Its literally like solving a murder mystery... Oh wait.  From the episode we could come to the conclusion that Melissa hated Ali. She was so mad at Ali for flirting with Ian constantly that she sent her threatening text messages as A. Than when she had her chance she killed her?? With Garett's help? And now she is entertaining her pregnant self by being  A? The pieces of the puzzle just don't fit together. But what we can derive is that Melissa and Spencer's father are trying to cover their own butts and blame each other. Each ones explanation for his/her shady actions blames the other. Melissa wants Spence to believe that it was their father. The father wants Spence to believe that he is innocent and the only reason he had all the pictures of Ali is because he was doing a private investigation to see is Melissa was behind the murder. Which I guess would make sense since she was involved with Ian, who still might have had a lot to do with Ali's death that night. Both Melissa and the father have reason to want Ali dead. The father because Ali knew about his affair and was blackmailing him. Melissa because of her boyfriend. 


We area also more inclined to believe Melissa is dangerous because she was the last person to glance at that desk before the gun went missing. But who would she want to kill? She's also getting very close to Garett and they have been working together and she has been telling him too much information.. Is this on purpose? Is she trying to lure Spencer off the road of figuring out who A is. And who tempted Maya to get into a car instead of heading off to San Fran? I doubt Melissa would want to do that so were back to square one.... Who is A? Why would A want Maya? Oh the possibilities. But that leads into the case of Ali and Vivian (possibly a twin) and there seems to be no correlation between anything anymore, except that A is a superhuman villain.


Whoever was texting Ali as A back when she was still alive was doing it from the Doll Hospital. A hospital which probably delivered the dolls that threatened the liars. I can also connect this back to Melissa because the dolls were found back in Spencer's lake house. I have also realized that it would be perfect for Melissa to be A because many times when big things happen, they take place at Spencer's house. But for a pregnant lady to be doing all that work is impossible, which means she has a sidekick. One that drops phones and stalks people. Garett anyone? This duo is just way to perfect. But realistically who is Vivian? When the girls went to that doll hospital somebody thought that Aria was actually Vivian, which means that Vivian had to have had a presence in that neighborhood. The boy was also very shocked to see her which allows me to believe Vivian disappeared at the same time Alison did. Were they the same person? Twins?


My favorite scene this week had to have been Mike stepping up to Aria's dad about the whole Ezra thing. Sometimes teens really are smarter than their parents. But when parents start to realize they have a problem with A thats when things get messy. A hates when people interrupt his plans so this might mean total destruction for the parents. Worst case scenario, one of the parents dies. Best case scenario, the parents find out who A is. It could technically be Mona. She was way to eager to have Aria lie to Hannah's mother to get the parents off of A's trail. And since when do we include Mona in top secret A work? Two more episode guys.... Two more episodes and all our questions will be answered.. Hopefully. The one negative thing about this show is the abundance of characters. There is so many that each episode lacks many re-occuring characters which makes me wonder what are they up too and why do they have such an important role when we do see them next? Where's Lucas, Caleb, Toby, Jenna and Nolan??? 

Gossip Girl- The Princess Dowry

"I love you but I'm not in love with you"

For a winter finale Gossip Girl took their plot to a whole new level and each character had a distinctive storyline... Except for maybe Serena and Nate who have become rather irrelevant in the world of Blair Waldorf.

The Van der Woodsen family celebrated CiCi's wake instead of mourning it. Cici  took the family on a wild ride proving that although she has passed away she can still stir up some drama. As a woman who knew everyones secrets it is no doubt that she appointed Serena's father as the lawyer in charge of everything.  Serena's father is also the father of the real Charlie Rhodes, which means that the feud between the Rhode's sisters is about to get much more intense and this explains why Lily's sister never wanted the family to meet the real Charlie. Aside from the fact that she thinks the family is a materialistic lot she also wanted to avoid the baby mama drama. We also know why she never asked for money from the baby's father but instead chose to get the money from her daughters trust-fund, via starving actress Ivy Dickens. I truly feel bad for Charlie. One minute she finds out that she has a cousin named Serena and the next she's going to be finding out Serena is actually her step-sister. Talk about keeping a family secret.

But starving actress no more because if its one thing Ivy picked up on the Upper East Side its how to play the game better than anyone else. After she was sucked into this world, she created an alliance with the one woman who loved her unconditionally. The wonderful thing about CiCi is she apparently knew Ivy wasn't the real Charlie but that didn't stop her from giving a huge portion of her will to Ivy. Could it possibly be that she was just embarrassed at how screwed up her real family was? Did she see the authentic side of Ivy and realize that she was just a girl that lost too much and wanted something real and stable? Whatever it was CiCi saw in her it has created Ivy the monster, who basically bit the hand that fed her. After Lily took her into her home and gave her everything, she had the nerve to kick Rufus and Lily out of the their home, a home that technically was given to Ivy after CiCi's death.

Blair Waldorf is not the smartest when it comes to making choices of the heart. Her heart is confused and I think she's starting to loose it being locked up in a marriage that doesn't even exist. Whats the point of Louie even being married to her at this point when he's never with her, not even for publicity. She has already damaged the royal name by having blasts of her locking lips with Humphrey posted all over Gossip Girl. Another lesson we can take from this is never settle for second best. Sure she fell for Humphrey but thats temporary. Don't push away the person you have loved for so long for a feeling of momentary happiness. And that Dair make-out scene at the end.... YUCK. At this point, Chuck shouldn't even degrade himself to that level anymore. She will realize what she gave away soon enough.

Georgina is classic. She is the epitome of mischief and blackmailing. She is perfect at finding peoples weak spot and using it against them. But to break up a royal marriage and avoid having Blair pay the dowry seems like an impossible mission, even for Georgina. Has she made friends with the family of Monaco? Perhaps the return of a sister or better yet, a priest?  It'll be interesting to see how she keeps her promise to set Blair free and what will she want in return?

Memorable Quotes

  • GG: They say we should carry our secrets to the grave but on the Upper East Side secrets are the one thing you can never bury. Even when we think we know everything about the ones we love theirs always a skeleton in the walk in closet. 
  • Nate: The entire Van der Woodsen clan is pretty overwhelming on a good day.
  • Nate: Are you sure you want to start world war Waldorf now?
  • Ivy: Your mother knew all of my secrets and she knew all over yours too. Thats why she left me everything. 
  • Georgina: I've been so good for so long. Its time for me to be bad.

One Tree Hill- Last Know Surroundings

"Welcome Back Lucas Scott!"
The return of Chad Michael Murray was exciting for die hard fans but unsuccessful in the long run. After we waited so long to finally see our beloved Lucas all we got were some cheap airport scenes as they used him as a one time character to move the story line across. Come on he's Nathan's brother. After all they've been through together wouldn't it make sense that he would hang around a little and try to help find Nathan. I was a just a tad disappointed to say the least. I was hoping for a little Lucas and Dan interaction or at least a "hello Brooke I've missed you, your best friend Peyton does too." Sadly, Peyton's whereabouts remain a mystery and it doesn't look like she's going to be walking throughout those airport doors anytime soon. Nonetheless, it was great to have a little piece of the old One Tree Hill back and see the Haley and Lucas duo reconnect, as best friends should. 


Also, as a loyal fan of OTH for about 8 years it pains me to see these peoples lives just fall apart. Unfortunately the season is not going in the direction I wanted. One Tree Hill always gave us messed up story lines with happy endings, but it just seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel in this. After Nathan almost freed himself the story line took a sick and twisted turn and now the cop that is supposably "helping" Haley find her husband is actually helping the mafia kill him. I've always believed in the power of Nathan Scott but this just seems hopeless. Whats even more messed up is that aside from the cop being involved so is that drug dealer that dealt to Nate and got threatened by Dan. The question now stands are these guys after Nathan because of some corrupt basketball transaction in Europe or because of Dan?? Is that why Dan is so set on finding his son?? What was the sign he uncovered at the end with Julian? Is it some kind of gang emblem he's seen before or a clue to where Nathan was at the time of the video? All  I know is that if Nathan Scott dies, I am over this show for good. 


Brooke better be careful. After she made a strong and compelling statement in front of the jury against her attacker from a couple of seasons ago and Quintin's killer, you could see the hatred forming in his eyes. And after the scene where he was just creeping on Brooke as she closed the cafe its safe to say that Brooke's life might be in danger once again. Hopefully the guy won't go after her precious baby boys. See thats how corrupt the government and courts in America are. A woman testify's to keep herself and her family safe, says things  about the attacker/killer that could get her potentially killed and than they let him go? Messed up.


As always, the storyline with Clay is dull and making absolutely no progress in my opinion. Even Chuck has a cooler story right about now. We can assume that from that bruise and his sketchy behavior Chuck is afraid of his father because he beats him. The kid is so damaged and the only honest and positive person in his life has been Chase. Now that Chase is catching on the all the horrible things that are happening in Chucks life, mainly with his father, will it be enough to stop him from going back to the air force? With Austin Nichols taking direction in the directors chair, he served us up one thrilling and jaw clenching episode, I'm just not sure that loyal fans will be too pleased watching the characters they grew up with die one bye one.

Ringer- Whores don't make that much

"I thought maybe she was turning tricks, but whores don't make that much"

According to this weeks episode the past has a lot to do with how we act in our future. We encountered a lot of flashbacks into Siobhan's and Bridget's past to get a clearer understanding of just how damaged the relationship between these two is. Bridget never intentionally hurt Siobhan's son as I originally assumed. She wasn't even using at the time this happened. The reason for all her drug problems and what came with that was a result of this accident. Seems to me that both twins had a tough life, but while Shiv worked to keep her family prospering Bridget was the one that raised that boy. Thats probably why she is so deeply affected by everything even so many years later. I do think that she took it a little to far by forgiving Dillan as Siobhan. The way I see it, Shiv has become so bitter about life that she isn't able to forgive anybody at this point and it isn't up to Bridget to make those decision, whether she thinks Bridget is dead or alive.


Juliet's mother remains a mystery. After Juliet scammed her own father by accusing a teacher of sexual assault she is now stuck in a situation that is bound to get exposed, if not worse, eat at her soul. Is Carpenter really behind the beating of the third party involved? Sure seems like it. He did exactly what Juliet asked him to do... Silenced her. As of right now we aren't aware of anymore suspects, but I am assuming the whole ordeal is about to get a lot deeper and trickier. My question is what was this all for? It obviously wasn't a cry for help on Juliet's side. Is this her mothers way of getting cash out of Andrew? Juliet really is becoming a little puppet on a string. If she had thought about her actions for just one second she could have actually had a shot at a functional family... As functional as you can get with a twin sister pretending to be somebody else.


As of right now all signs are pointing at Henry. In this case that Henry was the one that wanted to kill Shiv or at the very least that he is the one stalking Bridget. I can't even begin to analyze the situation because to me it just isn't very clear what Siobhan's intentions are. Can we really believe they are all pure and she just wants Andrew's money to live happily ever after with Henry. All we know is that Bridget is tired of hiding behind Siobhan and although that makes all the sense in the world, how is she going to explain to Andrew that she really isn't Shiv. That she's been pretending to be her sister while her sister committed "suicide" and for the past couple of months he's been dating the "whore." Of course she would loose all the people she cared about in a heart beat. Its natural to get sick of pretending to be someone else but she has to think about what she is risking by revealing the truth. She would loose the acceptance of the people she cares about and Macawi would be after her in a heart beat, right along with Machado. This show has a way of not revealing where it is going. From previews we see that Shiv might actually be pregnant with Andrews baby. What that means, I have no idea.

Pretty Little Liars- Breaking the Code

3 Episodes Left Until A Is Revealed!!!!
Which is probably why there was more action in this episode than in the whole season combined. I'll start by touching on Aria and Ezra because they are the most emotionally satisfying couple. Twists and turns in this hour long episode as Ezria went from a heart breaking split to a breakthrough, mainly with Aria's mother when she finally stopped acting like a fool driving her teenager daughter around from play date to play date and started paying attention to her daughter. She realized that Aria really does love Ezra and that this relationship means much more to her than anything her parents could try to teach her. Sometimes kids need to learn from experience and sometimes parents don't always know whats best for their children. The tea party at Mr. Fitz's house was probably the best Ezria moment thus far. 


For ABC family to condone teenage alcoholism is absurd but man, Spencer should be intoxicated every episode. For a girl who is always so uptight and serious, the drunk Spencer is a hoot. Who knew that all her buried feelings for Wren would come out in such sexual ways. Seems forgetting about Toby wasn't as hard as we thought it would be. But I wonder what part in all of this Wren is going to play? I mean A will only go after the people that mean the most to the liars. If Spencer has a new boy toy it makes him just as much as a target as it made Toby, especially cause Wren is Melissa's ex and from what was revealed this week from Caleb's decoded footage, Melissa is the number one suspect in the murder of Allison. 


Which isn't so surprising as we knew from day one that Melissa wasn't innocent and had something to do with the murder. What we didn't know is what connected her to everything. First of all lets talk about how freakishly creepy Garett is.... Because he is. Nothing makes stalking people okay... Nothing, not even being a police officer and enforcing public safety. Stalking is not okay. Second of all he had a secret relationship with Jenna, but now he's going to the ob-gyn with Melissa?? And Melissa has to tell Spencer something, something she wanted to tell her the day of Ian's funeral? Could it possibly be that Garett is the father of her baby? Could that be the reason Jenna dumped him and left him hanging?? Now my brain is going into overdrive and I'm trying to connect all the dots that are just impossible to connect. Jenna dumped Garett and moved on to Noel Kahn. But what makes Noel connected to the original four that were in that video??? 
Aside from the fact that Garett is possibly the father of Melissa's baby, we have another clue leading us to believe she wanted Ali dead. After Spencer coughed up the 2 grand that her newly attributed brother granted her in order to get to the bottom of this mystery all Jonah gave them was an address. An address that led the girls to a abandoned law firm, which ended up being a law firm that Melissa interned at (possibly the summer of Ali's death) where she could have sent all those creepy texts. She had an alibi to kill Ali, Ali was was fooling around with her boyfriend. But is that enough reason to want to wipe someone off the planet? 


There are still so many questions left un-answered. Who is Vivian? How did Ali know Vivian? Who is A now? Could it still be Melissa? How the hell is everyone tied together, I know its a small town but realistically it is not possible. Why is A involving Mona and why does A want to ruin her so badly? Is it because she is Noel's ex or because she has a part in everything as well? And it seems like the parents are getting involved as well? A is not only targeting the liars at this point but the detective on the case, the parents and all of the liars loved ones. Is it because we are getting to close. And while we wrap our heads around all this information, did anyone stop to think what happens when A is revealed? I think we're so caught up in figuring out who it is, we don't know what were going to do when we actually find out. As an episode so chock full of information, I feel a little on overload. Does anyone else think that Melissa is just thrown in as bait so when A is finally revealed we don't know what hit us? Cause I don't know what to believe at this point. 

Gossip Girl- Cross Rhodes

"The most painful rejection always comes from those you love the most."
The cats out of the bag, but that doesn't mean that we're seeing the last of Charlie. Unfortunately the revelation of fake Charlie came at a time when the family was dealing with the loss of the beloved CiCi. She always was the glue holding that dysfunctional family together. To my surprise, the family was not as upset as I thought they would be when they found out about the switcheroo. The real twist is going to come when Serena finds out her cousin is now dating her ex boyfriend. Seems like Serena is the "it" girl that has lost all of her ex's to people that she once trusted. There is just no luck in the love department for that girl. 


Loosing Dan Humphrey is extreme, but loosing him to Blair Waldorf now that will make your jaw drop. I cannot say I am a full blown Dair worshipper, but there is something about the pureness and honesty of the relationship, (Alright despite the fact that he's the one that blasted Queen B on GG and made her a slave in her marriage) that shows that he truly cares about her. There has never been any BS with him, any "foreplay" if you must, that was the foundation of Blairs relationship with Chuck. I still see Dan and Blair as friends though and it is much more entertaining to watch them fight and quibble with an exchange of quirky remarks. Anyhow, its funny to see how the tables have turned. As S used to be the girl everyone worshipped and admired and the girl that got everything handed to her Blair always felt like she was in her shadow. Now Blair is a married woman, the princess of Monaco and has two perfectly charming suitors waiting at her hand and foot, while Serena watches on miserably. 


What irritates me is that the writers to everything in their power to stall the Blair and Chuck relationship. Blair is being rather selfish, she's holding Chuck on a leash and as much as she believes in his "goodness" by holding that leash so tightly she is forcing him into his old ways. Chuck is way better than all the scheming and sleeping with people to get what he wants, but Blairs actions make his poor decisions justifiable. Its not fair to make him suffer because she's confused on what she wants out of life and who she loves. At this point, her confusion is hurting everyone around her. Well except Nate who once again is left sweeping the poor, sad, distraught girl off her feet. 


I wonder what kind of revenge real Charlie is going to brew up for Ivy... Should she even be mad at Ivy at this point? All she was doing was playing a role. The life of an actress can be extremely hard. And maybe her mother really was just trying to do the best thing for her daughter. The Upper East Side can be a tricky world for people that aren't able to play the game. And Ivy learned how to play it real well, especially with an acquaintance like Georgina brewing up... Real Charlie doesn't seem to have the backbone to take on their world full force... Not yet at least. 


Memorable Quotes

  • GG: February is the shortest month, but the bitter chill makes it feel the longest. The smart ones, like me, escape to more tropical climates, while some of my Upper East Side friends use the time to hunker down and finish their work. Others snuggle up in bed while their agendas keep them warm. And then there are the homes that feel even colder inside than it is out.
  • Dan: If were not going to be more than friends its too hard to be just friends.
  • Serena: Don't look at me. She works for you.
  • Serena: Whenever you have feeling for someone that you cant deal with you avoid them.
  • GG: Careful Humphrey, looks like someone is finding some cold comfort on some red hot revenge. 
  • Blair: We're not servants to our emotions. We can control them. Suppress them!
  • GG: Uh Oh Ivy. Do you feel the chill permeating the air thats the Upper East Side turning their backs on you and turning you out into the cold?
  • Chuck: I'm impressed you know the value of quality. You've learned so much from me in such a short period of time.
  • Dan: So I guess I'm not competing, I'm winning. You wouldn't be trying this hard if you didn't think I actually had a shot with her, which until this moment I didn't think I did.
  • GG: As we wait for spring to come we desperately wait for the sign winter is coming to an end and the signs are clear; a ray of sunlight that cuts through the darkness, the bud of a new relationship popping through the frost from a sudden spike in temperatures. But don't forget Upper East Siders, February isn't the end of winter. In this town theres still a long way to go. Turns out tropical islands are boring and the lack of scandal is getting to me so I decided to turn up the heat from afar. I have a certain email from lonely boy that will make Basses blood boil. But if you think winters over think again. There's sure to be another cold snap and sadly some wont survive the winter, so come out of the cold my Upper East Siders and into the cozy warmth of my home. My doors are always open. XoXo Gossip Girl.

The Vampire Diaries- All My Children

"You know one thing I've learned with my time on this earth. Be careful what you wish for."
Move over Damon and Stefan, we have a new set of sexy brothers in town. Klaus and Elijah are turning over a new leaf as they transform from bad boy villains to Romeo's that want to steal away all the girls from the Salvatore brothers... and Tyler. Well at least Elijah, who definitely has a thing for Elena. Lets call that couple Eleaijah. Truthfully the brooding threesome has gotten a bit boring for me. Two tortured brothers who keep fighting over the same girl who at this point cant seem to figure out for herself who she actually loves. Elena just needs some new men in her life and whats better than an original love letter writing vampire??? I declare this Team Eleaijah and Team Klauroline day. Theres just something about those accents and innocent smiles that I just cannot resist. 
If team Eleaijah doesn't work out my prediction is that Elena will choose Damon. Not because I want her too but because once again Damon stepped up and was the bigger man. He sacrificed his love for Elena and turned Bonnie's mother even though he knew it would make Elena hate him.  Why? Because he wanted Stefan to get his chance at a relationship with her again. From pure observation though did you guys notice that although Elena tried to win Stefan back last week, she blabbed on and on to Bonnie about how hurt she was that Damon slept with Rebekah and not once did she mention Stefan rejecting her. This means that she obviously cares much more deeply about what Damon does. Its easy to loose the love of a Salvatore brother Elena, all you have to do is send them off the deep end and they wind up sleeping with people you hate and making utterly horrible mistakes.
This weeks episode closed one chapter but it opened the door for so many other questions. First off, are we still anti- Klaus because from the looks of it, all of the comrades seem to be getting along just fine. They've formed what I would call a bond. As Klaus disappears off the radar as the enemy, Ester enters it. Mommy dearest was unsuccessful at killing her devil spawns. I mean now she is obviously going to be furious with Elena for ruining her plan and for the Salvatore's for helping. She still wants to kill all of her children as the guilt of turning them into monsters consumes her. But what does the tree have to do with anything? Does Ester know it exists? Is she going to try to kill her children with it or will the children try to kill her with it? We have once again reached the point in the show, where I have no fricking idea where the story is going to take us... All I know is that I am way to excited for the ride. 


Who else feels sorry for Bonnie? She is always the one suffering for her best friend. Speaking of, since when can one turn a witch into a vampire? Is that even allowed in the rule book? Well anyways,  no matter what happens, everyones lives are pretty shitty, but at the end of the day Bonnie is always the one thats screwed over. Yeah Caroline lost her father and Tyler, but she is being woo-ed by the ever so sexy intelligence of Klaus. Yeah Elena has lost everyone but in that she gained two brothers that would risk their lives for her and a trustworthy friend, Elijah. What did Bonnie get?  First she lost her grandmother, than she lost Jeremy and now her birth mother has just been turned into a vampire. No wonder she doesn't even want to see Elena anymore. At this point I probably would have given up on my best friend and booked myself a vacation... Far away from Mystic Falls.


Nanny Carrie always has been and always will be crazy. For an actress to be such a lunatic in every show means there must be some truth to it. I had my doubts that she was the killer I admit it. I assumed that maybe it was Jeremy going off the deep end or that Alaric was having some manic outbursts, but sure enough it is always Nanny Carrie. Don't let that innocent face fool you. Alaric trusts people way to easily and puts him into situations that aren't so safe. There was speculation that she was the killer, so instead of waiting until they caught the culprit he went on believing it wasn't her. Now since he knows the truth whats going to happen? She shot him but he had his ring on so no doubt he's going to come back to life. He has to. I can't bare to loose anymore people, especially not Ric. But what is her reasoning behind all of this? Why does she kill people in such cryptic ways? For her own enjoyment? Thats pretty gruesome if you ask me.

One Tree Hill- Catastrophe and the cure

"They went to a strip club, so I'm sure you'll see them when you get there for your shift."
As a faithful One Tree Hill fan its pains me to see the writers stretch and yearn for stories. The season ended on such a good note last time, that ruining each characters life just for the sake of a story, seems rather painful for me to watch. This weeks installment was stressful thats true, but it also felt pushed and it just isn't the same OTH as it used to be. I mean how much crazy intense crap can Nathan Scott really go through? To be killed for being a basketball scout seems a little ludicrous. Yes the writers have this magic touch to anything they do so I am vested into each story line whether I want to be or not, but really I'd rather not. Its a nice touch with the European mafia it really is, but how many people do you know in your life that have fell victim to something like this? Exactly none.
 Julian is trying to find himself after he screwed up as being a dad. Brooke is running a cafe that has huge competition. Nothing more nothing less. The competition comes from a snooty blonde that is screwing both Chase and Chris Keller, but I must admit its fun to watch Keller get a taste of his own medicine. Millie and Mouth are just used as ploys to move the plot along. When Mouth found all this information about who could be holding up Nathan its obvious that the story line was crafted to give Mouth something meaningful to do on the show. As always the Clay storyline is going nowhere, fast but I can't complain to much because the little kid in that institution is so adorable, I might just pull a Nannie Carrie on him. 
To watch Dan Scott go through a list of people that could potentially want payback on him was a real stretch. I'm mainly just interested to see the return of Lucas Scott. Although if it is a depressing one that results in Nathan dying (and I'm alluding to the short minute preview at the beginning of the season) I am hanging up my die hard OTH fan smock. Call me crazy, but for some reason I feel like the person dying in order to save his son and regain his honor will be Dan. Otherwise every character is just being milked for the sake of entertainment.

Revenge- Chaos

"Just promise me no secrets of any kind ever. You've seen what they've done to my family."
Finally a revelation we have been long anticipating. Tonights episode brought us back to the scene that enticed so many fans to indulge in Revenge. Thankfully Daniel survives through Tyler's manic episode and Emily Thorne has not gone to such extremes as killing her fiance for vengeance, just yet.  The question of whether Daniel will blamed for Tyler's death remains untouched, but my guess is that Emily will do everything in her will power for her fiance to be punished. This will be the perfect way for her to ruin the Grayson global name, while staying by her "fiances" side and ruining Victorias life. Win-win situation right? While Amanda is to blame for Tyler's death, she was really doing it in self defense. Jack wanted to cover for her but ultimately they both got away, leaving Daniel as the sole culprit. Although it would make a lot more sense in my mind if Daniel wasn't arrested for Tyler's death because it is clear that Tyler has a little loopy and a danger to society. Whatever the outcome may be this episode was a jumble full of chaos, which seems a fitting title for the episode itself.
Who would have thought that after everything Amanda would turn her back on Emily? You never make a deal with the devil and Tyler is the devil in this case. He's a psycho lunatic that cannot be constrained and knows more than is good for him. Amanda put her own safety at risk when she went into an agreement with Tyler. It was hard to back out after she realized Tyler's plans were actually to kill Daniel and frame Emily for it all because she killed the security guard. That key point had to have played a huge factor in Amanda changing her mind because if cops started investigating further they would realize that it was actually her that killed Frank. Although she dragged a little with getting to the party she did make it in time to stop Tyler's destructive plan. Truthfully, this girl owes Emily her life at this point. Emily is always cleaning up everyones mess. 
As Emily is usually the one calling all the shots, no pun intended, she was rather distant and missing from the scheming this weekend, which made this episode so brilliant. This weeks episode showed a girl that was stripped and bare and pretty vulnerable to anything surrounding her, especially since many of her accomplices turned her back on her. As much as Nolan wants the best for Amanda, I am left wondering what him and the Asian investor at Grayson Global had to do with the plot line. I know he is suppose to help Emily in any way possible so did Emily know that Daniel was going to get shot? What was in the box that she was burying? Why was the investor ready to help Amanda make an escape? 
Anyways, after a long anticipation we finally know that Daniel is not the one that dies in the pre-wedding celebrations but what's next? Does the happy couple continue with their wedding preparations, assuming that Daniel isn't arrested? Will Victoria become more loving towards Emily or will this tear the whole family apart? All the points that were brought up this week by the grandfather, for example Daniel taking over Grayson Global, a peaceful family settlement and Charlotte avoiding any type of therapy in order to keep the family name noble will have gone to hell because of this incident. Will they loose all their money? In all of this I know Emily was waiting to see the Grayson family self combust, but has she no care or interest in anything to do with the family. Can she really just wash her hands and walk away from everything? Will it be revealed that it was really Amanda who saved Daniel from a monster? One things for certain Jack isn't going anywhere and he, as well as Declan, are now more invested in the family than ever before. 
Memorable Quotes

  • Emily: There comes a moment in each of our lives when the control that keeps us sane slips through our fingers. Most of us aim to seize it back. The best way to fight chaos is with chaos.
  • Victoria: Blood will always be thicker than water. One day you might or might not become his wife, but I will always be his mother.
  • Grandpa: Your name is Grayson Daniel. The name makes a decision for you.
  • Tyler: Have fun at the party tonight. I hear theres going to be fireworks.
  • Nolan: Are you determined to turn this party into a funeral?
    • Emily: I'm determined to be prepared for anything. You know how unpredictable Tyler can be.
  • Tyler: How do I look?
    • Amanda: Undermedicated.
  • Tyler: Daniel is about to find out how bad his taste in women really is.
  • Daniel: There's nothing left here for me but secrets and lies.
  • Emily: Chaos by its very definition cannot be controlled. Once introduced all order and intention is rendered useless. The outcome of chaos can never be predicted. The only certainty it brings is devastation it leaves in its wake. 

Ringer- Its Easy To Cry When This Much Cash Is Involved

"I need answers. I'll pay you double to help me get them. No questions asked."
Things are starting to get way to confusing up in Manhattan, mainly because half the time I cant tell whose Siobhan and whose Bridget. Bridget's plans are very upfront. She has figured out that her sister lied to her, she realized that she was friends with Charlie instead of enemies and now she wants to know who the hell is after her and who wants to kill her, besides for Macawi of course (seems like she forgot about him a little). Meanwhile Siobhan is trying to find a way to remove herself from the marriage and still get a whole lot of cash while her and Henry are together forever. She's doing all of this by manipulating Tyler into thinking she loves him and he is the father of her baby. Girl might be a little crazy but she gets what she needs done. My only question is why? She couldn't file for divorce from Andrew because given their marital agreement she would walk away without a penny. Understandable. But when she goes to tell Henry the truth, why the hell won't she tell the truth. What is the good in throwing your sister under the bus like that? She has covered for you, while covering her ass and than you want to expose her? Whats the logic behind it? Clearly she still hasn't gotten over the fact that Bridget killed her son, but there must be more to the story than just that. I wish we could see things from inside Siobhan's brain. 
Besides for Bridget trying to figure out what the hell is going on and Siobhan trying to clean up her mess while making a bigger one we have Juliet. Oh boy did I not see that one coming. After all of the tears, the trials and the pain she put everyone through it comes out to become a ploy to get her trust fund back? And her arch enemy and her teacher, the accused, is in on it!?!??! That is a whole other level of messed up. At what moment did he realize he would turn her throwing herself at him into a money deal? But I don't think it will take long for things to head south with this. There is so much money at stake, either Carpenter wont deliver or there will be too much greed and everything will get exposed. I mean without a signed contract of the fairness of the money, it was technically paid over to him, so he can easily out Juliet and her friend and not blink once about it. The reason bad things happen to her isn't because her parents divorced or because she had a mean step-mother, its because she's stupid and irrational. I had pity for her although I was against the whole rape story line, but now I am just disgusted. I vote shipping her off to boarding school somewhere far away.
I wonder what damages Henry just did by signing over Gemmas father to Andrews company? One thing one has to learn about Siobhan is to never do anything without her consent. She would have taken care of Olivia in a heartbeat. Now Shiv's plan might not work. Will her love for Henry diminish? With two sisters in one city, their going to run into each other sooner than later (and by the looks of the previews it is definitely sooner). I wonder what it will be like to run into a dead sister and than into an impostor of the other sister. Till next week!


Memorable Quotes

  • Olivia: Are you going to invite me in?
    • Henry: Do I need to are are you a vampire?
  • Bridget: My sister lied me. I wonder what else she lied to me about.
  • Mom: Why don't you wear Chanel. Its classy, its elegant, its almost heroic. Virgins wear Chanel don't they?

Pretty Little Liars- CTRL: A

"When I Hide Things They Stay Hid"
Its safe to say that this weeks Pretty Little Liars moved the story line a bit. Unlike many previous episodes real secrets were actually revealed and we are that much closer to locking down A! For starters if the fact that Spencer and Jason are related isn't news enough, we now find out that Alison might have been blackmailing Spencer's dad! Alright we know thats not the person she was blackmailing but for a young girl to have that much money stashed away in a box of love notes and personal exchanges between her mom and Spencer's dad is enough to make you wonder, who the hell she got it from and why the hell did she need it so much? The bond that has formed between these two step siblings is tightening quickly and if their to find anything out a lot of trust is going to have to be built, fast!
One thing the liars have stopped fearing is how to play the game. I mean if A had scared them off all they would be able to do is watch while their lives fell apart. Instead they take every clue they get and try to turn it into something meaningful. By far their boldest (and smartest) move this season was meeting Vivian's friend in person. That allowed them to find out that whoever A is was haunting Ali before she died. She hired this man to find out who was after her and when he finally cracked the mystery Vivian disappeared before paying him and mr. detective got fired. But who is Vivian? Why did none of the girls know about her? Did she die along with Alison? Was it Alison's twin? The twist here is that this guy doesn't know Alison is dead, so with enough money we too can know who A is, the question is do we want to? This might be the sole reason why Alison was killed. Once the liars find out who the person behind the text messages is, it could mean hell for them and maybe even their loved ones.

The loved ones seem to suffer just as much as the liars these days. Spencer did away with Toby to help protect him from anything A could do to hurt him but she didn't care enough to protect Caleb who happened to be on A's hit list this week. But was he on A's list or on Garrett's? Garrett could have easily tipped off the detective to try to get his hands on that lap top. He could have been watching Caleb try to piece the puzzle together. Despite what we are led to believe Garrett is either helping A or has an agenda of his own, but you can see the stress building up inside of him. Even when the detective mentioned that their is some new evidence in the Alison murder mystery and that page 5 was missing (and we all know Garrett took it) he started freaking out. So did Garrett kill Ali? Is the video in any way connected to the texts? Are they all A? Whatever the connection is, we know that the enforcement in Rosewood is not on top of their game. I mean the liars broke into a hospital like 19 episodes ago. Way to catch on... Anyhow the love between Caleb and Hannah has probably beaten out the love Aria and Ezra have just because it is so real and true. When her and Spencer were trying to clear the hard drive it was one of the most nerve wrecking moments ever, but love really does conquer all. 
Why Aria's father is so paranoid that his daughter is still sneaking off doing horrible things might be linked to the fact that he was once in the same situation with a minor in his school and he knows how it feels. I am still appalled by the idea that he could have had a love affair and been let off the hook so easily while Ezra and Aria are clearly in love and cannot be toghether. Of all the girls Aria is the one with a head on her shoulders. Thankfully she skipped out on her vegan dinner with teacher love this week to watch her friend Holden engage in some rather dangerous activities. Anybody else think that this might cause him to get seriously hurt and their cover will be blown? Just because A failed this week, doesn't mean he wont try again. 


Memorable Quotes

  • Spencer: She found those letters, figured out what it meant and than blackmailed my father to keep from ruining both families..
  • Aria: french food wow you must really like me.
    • Ezra: Aria its french vegan food. I must really love you. 
  • Spencer: Why did they come back?
    • Spencers dad: I never asked. I was afraid she might tell me.
  • Holden: Look sometimes what people believe is best for you is not really whats best for you. 
  • Aria: This can't be what the doctor ordered.
    • Holden: No he recommended gardening. This is better.

Gossip Girl- Crazy, Cupid Love

Happy Valentines Day!
A Valentines Day like this is really nothing worth celebrating. Gossip Girl took it back to the high schools days this week and gosh have I missed that school girl attire. Besides for Queen B, everyone seemed to be in uniform this week and there was no shortage of drama. I thought that we had left the Humphrey-Waldorf love story behind, but unfortunately it has resurfaced. Not only has this cause tension between Blair and Serena but it has also led Chuck to turn back to his old ways, namely bringing every woman back to his bed. Why on earth did Blair kiss Dan? Why would she have feelings for him all of a sudden? What does this mean for her relationship with Chuck? This was probably the only situation that would not have presented itself at any, and I mean any, high school event. The writers have totally taken the storyline of Blair and Chuck and strayed with it. I understand you cannot keep them playing the cat and mouse game, but there are no Dair worshippers... Anywhere. If Blair cannot be with Chuck, than she sure as hell should not be making out with Dan. The writers are just making her look sleazy at this point. 
So Ivy returned to inform Lily that her mother is sick and doesn't have much time left. The only question than is why is the fake Charlie with grandma Rhodes? Ivy probably shouldn't have stuck around the party for so long because it only took one second for Nate to out her to the real Charlie, and by the look of things she was not going to let this go easily. Here is someone she once knew that had taken on her life, lived with her family and basically impersonated her. Seems to me that the real Charlie was left in the dark about a lot of things since she had no idea of who her family even was. A combination of efforts from Georgina and the real Charlie will crush fake Charlie in a split second, especially if she plans on making casual comebacks to the Upper East Side. 
Thing aren't looking so bright for Queen B, who truthfully cannot trust anyone except maybe Humphrey at this point. Her best friend has every right to try and screw up her life. Now that Georgina is Gossip Girl she is literally everywhere. Chuck is now pissed off that  Humphrey's got to his girl. And lastly, her new babysitter is in love with her husband. It won't be long until she figures out how to play the Upper East Side game and sets off a plan to crush Blair and get the man of her dreams. The unraveling of this storyline will be quite tasty considering the previews for next week show a lot of Blair and Dan face time. Poor Serena. Anyone see the door opening for a Chuck and Serena romance. That would literally be the end of the world, but hey you never know. Overall, this episode was just proof that Valentines Day isn't all its hyped up to be. 
Memorable Quotes

  • GG: Another picture perfect day on the Upper East Side. How am I going to celebrate? By exposing a giant secret today thats sure to break more than a few hearts.
  • Dorota: Oh miss Blair your back I was so worried you'd be locked away in big stone tower somewhere and only way to speak was through smoke signals and coded message on twitter.

  • Dan: Blairs trying to set me up with Serena which reminds me I didn't even like high school so I'm not going to relive it.

  • Georigna: If Blair hates you for being poor before imagine how much she'd hate you for making her poor too.
  • Georgina: Which means the more they cant the more they'll want to.
  • GG: But isn't that what Valentines Day is all about? Hopes dashed, feelings hurt, relationships severed. Its a day filled with crushing disappointments where its easy take advantage of the vulnerable and the lonely. While some like to pine over those unrequited loves others cant help but feel like they somehow got totally screwed. And while it'd be nice to believe that most valentine days end well we all know they are far more likely to end in heartbreak. XoXo Gossip Girl.
