The Game

Well, well, well, it looks like Tasha has finally got herself a man. I'm still warming up to this because I did think that they were related, but this looks like a good relationship. And I'm glad that she found someone that actually wants to treat her right and may be good for her. Hopefully this goes well. Oh and that kiss, that kiss, what a kiss. I think that's all you could say about that. 
But moving on, I was shocked with the outcome of the Derwin and Janay situation. I didn't expect it to get resolved that quickly. And there was a little something in me that wanted something bad to happen, but it didn't so oh well. So, it looks like they are actually gonna go through with this surrogacy thing. I hope everything goes well but we shall see. 
I am so happy that Tee Tee was in this episode. I missed his hilarious one liners and they all up in this episode. My only hope is that we see more of him because he hasn't been around that much and that really upsets me. 
Now, I heard some people saying that this was the best episode ever. I won't make that decision until I've seen all of them. Right now i don't think this one is the best ever but we shall see. 

Glee - Whitney!!

This was by far the BEST episode ever!!!! I loved every bit of it.
First I must say I was wondering when Emma and Will were gonna start planning their wedding and I'm happy they finally took some initiative in this episode.
It was really nice that we got to see some Blaine and Kurt action. I honestly thought they were gonna break up.
When Kurt had that convo with his dad I almost broke out in tears. It was so sweet.
I am also wondering if Quinn and Sam will be a couple ???
Overall, this episode was amazing. I'm shocked that I didn't cry at some point during it, but I was singing and dancing. The song choices were great and they were done beautifully. True Whitney fans would be pleased.
One thing I realized while watching was that there are a lot of people graduating. I think there's 6 or 7 (Rachel, Finn, Quinn, Kurt, Mercedes, Santana and I think there's one more ??) And then things just got really sad for me. I'm probably gonna cry at the season finale, or whenever the graduation episode is. But until then I'm gonna try and keep a smile on my face.

Good Deeds

I was finally able to see this movie and I'm glad I did.
I thought it was a little weird watching a Tyler Perry film and there was mostly drama, no wedding at the end, and no female as the male character. Now, I'm not saying that this was a bad thing. It worked and worked well.
The film did start out a little slow and picked up a bit after about an hour. I think that was the only thing I really didn't like.
One thing I really liked is that it wasn't too predictable. There were moments when what I thought happened but there were also time when I had no idea what was going to happen next. I also liked the ending. I though it was perfect. It didn't end to soon or drag on. That was a great spot to end.
I really have to applaud Tyler Perry for his performance. I was afraid that he wasn't gonna be that good because this is a dramatic role and not comedic but he did a good job. Everyone acted well in this film. The cast was great.
The message of this film was also something that was totally different from what he normally does but was good as well. I thought it was a really good topic. There are a lot of people out there that are living the life that someone else wants them to live and it could be a good life but it's not the life that you want to live. I also got from the film that money really doesn't make you happy. Wesley Deeds was the CEO of a company and he was completely miserable.
Overall, I really liked this film and I hope to see more films like this from Tyler Perry.

Glee

This episode made me happy. 
I'm glad that Mr. Shoe tried to get these kids on the right track and Finn needed the most help out of all of them and I'm glad it worked. 
So Alex (from the Glee Project) finally made his appearance. I wasn't too impressed with his acting skills but his singing was great. I did think that Unique was hilarious and would rather see that character more than Wade. I thought he was like Mercedes and Kurt's love child, if they had one. And i knew that he was gonna dress like a woman at some point in the show. 
I find it interesting that we haven't seen much of Tina and Mike and what's going on in their lives. I guess since they're not graduating their lives aren't that important but they haven't even had a solo. But let me not get too ahead of myself, this is only the 2nd episode back and according to Twitter we will see more of Tina. 
Okay there was one thing that I didn't like about this episode. Mercedes and Sam kissed!!!! Why did this happen!?!?!? And this better NOT mean that they are getting back together because I really don't want that to happen. 
But, other than that I enjoyed this episode. 

Secret Life

This episode really pissed me off. 
So they went through all this foolishness with Amy and Ricky only to have her not be pregnant!!! And there wasn't even more of a scare!!! That was pointless. 
I really wasn't expecting Lauren to start missing Lauren so soon but I guess so. And Ben and this girl Dylan are really getting on my nerves. They need to get over each other!!!! If their parents don't approve than oh well move on!!! And why is her name Dylan in the first place?? I really hope they give us a story on that because I really don't get it.
And that whole thing with Betty, what was the point of that??? 
The one thing I really wanna see is the interaction between Grace and her half brother because she didn't seem to happy to see him. 
I guess we'll see soon. 

The Game

There are only a few things I have to say about this episode.
First off, has Derwin lost his mind. i know he's mad but it's partly his fault. Maybe he should have really thought about missing that block. Now I don't like Kwan. I know who he thinks he is coming in here tryna run stuff. And one thing I don't get is why people are so bent outta shape because he's injured. Now I know it sucks when your starting QB gets injured, I've gone through it. But as long as the replacement was good and the team won I was fine. And to my knowledge, this is what happened so what's the problem??? 
Second, it's really nice to see the main cast all in one room together. This is a rarity but we are seeing more of it this season, which I like. It's nice to see that their lives really do flow together. It was a little weird to have Jason's coworker there. It's like she's a fill in for Kelly. And I didn't know she didn't know Jason had a wife. But my question is, why was she so mad about it? Does she like Jason?? And, now that it's out the he's married does that mean they are staying together?? 
Third, honest to God I thought Pookie was related to Tasha which made things very awkward for me when he just randomly showed up. The look they gave each other just made me think, and then when I realized they weren't related I thought harder. Does he really like her? And if he does I think she likes him back and I think that they should get together. He's probably the only guy that can handle her. 
Hopefully all my questions will be answered in the upcoming episodes. I didn't think this episode was completely pointless but it could have been better, but it wasn't as bad as the others. I just hope we see more Tee Tee soon. I miss his hilariousness.

Secret Life

I'm only writing to say that this episode really resolved nothing. Lauren, Amy and Madison aren't back to being friends yet and I don't blame them. I would be mad if my best friend betrayed me like that. It's gonna take a lot and a long time for these girls to be friends again. 
So Grace has a half brother ... very interesting. 

That's all I really have to say. I just wanna see what happens next week because we finally get to see if Amy is pregnant again. 

The Game

I'm beginning to form a love/hate relationship with this show. They keep having these not so good episodes and then they hit us with these good ones, like Tuesdays, and reel me back in. 
I thought this episode was really interesting. 
I can not believe that Derwin missed that block!! The thought didn't even cross my mind until they said it and now that Kwan is really hurt ... I don't know. That was really cold. But, it really is like old times now that Malik is back playing. I'm happy he's back on the field. 
I knew that this surrogacy thing wasn't gonna work out. Tasha really didn't seem in to it, but I'm shocked that Derwin reacted the way he did. I don't if I thought he would be okay with it but at least they had someone that said they would do it. I mean he keeps talking about "the legacy" and this a start in getting one. I know he has DJ but he ain't married to Janay so ... And I wonder if Melanie will get herself together and start practicing medicine because it seemed like she wanted to when she made that comment about putting her life on hold (or something like that ). 
Overall, I did like this episode!! I loved how we could see them playing on the field. This show is my football fix during the off season and I wasn't getting it until now. Hopefully there's more football to come and I mean, this is a show about football so there should be. I really hope that  next weeks episode isn't about nothing (*crossing fingers*). 

Oh! The Game got picked up for a season 6 which will be very interesting.  

Glee

I have to be honest, I wasn't paying close attention to this episode so if I forget to mention something I'm sorry. 
So OH MY GOODNESS she's in a wheelchair. I honestly thought she died, but I guess that would just be too sad. I just wonder if Quinn will walk again. Maybe Artie is just jealous that there's hope for her but not really for him??? But we shall see, we shall see. 
I don't think Finn and Rachel will ever get married at this rate. They keep postponing it, maybe this is a sign that they don't belong together. And did Rachel and Kurt get into NYADA yet?? I thought they did but they were talking about an audition. I guess that's what determines if they are in or not. 
I am so happy that Nene Leeks has a recurring role on this show. She is hilarious!!!
Okay now let's talk about Sue. One, I had now idea she had a baby bump until halfway through the episode. Two, her working with the Glee club is just too unusual to me. I don't know if I like it, but maybe she'll help them actually win national this year. (I hope so). Three, who is the father of this baby??? I really wanna know if the make her tell and if she does who they'll say it is. I also wanna know what all that medical talk was about. I may have missed the explanation but they did say that something wasn't right and I wanna know what it is. 
Overall, this episode was okay. It wasn't really the epic comeback that I thought it would be. I must be putting Glee on too high of a pedestal?? But, I will always watch so until nest Tuesday ...

Secret Life

I know this is late but I was debating whether I should write this or not so here I go.
This show, this show. I really don't think I have time for it anymore. After this episode.
First off thank God someone's parents (Ben's dad) finally started really to discipline these kids. They are all galavanting around having sex, getting people pregnant, smoking pot and talking to their parents any old way and they never do anything about it. Well, not anymore.
Okay so it's official. I think Amy is way too childish to be getting married. The way she was talking to Ricky proved that. I mean she called him "old man Ricky." It was like she was talking to her dad or something. That whole thing just really bothered me. She has a son!! I know she's still in high school but she really needs to grow up!!
Oh, and that whole classroom scene seemed quite unrealistic to me. Would all the grades really be in one class for all the classes they were taking. And do they really have detention in summer school?? I wouldn't know cuz I've never been.
And I'm really getting sick of Ben defending Adrian. I know they were/ are married and would have had a child together but really. They are getting a divorce so I don't think they should still be acting  like a married couple. And it really was just as much her fault (sleeping with Henry) as it was Henry's fault. So Ben should be equally mad at both of them.
I really just want them to kick up the drama and stop all this immature stuff cuz that is why I watch the show, for the drama. This next episode better shock me to bits!!

The Game

I am so mad right now!!!!! This episode was completely POINTLESS!!!!!! Nothing happened!!!! If I didn't watch this episode I would have missed a thing. And this is what I was talking about before. When there are episodes that really don't effect the storyline people stop watching because they don't think that anything will happen in the rest of the season.
So all we got from this episode is that we now know who Tasha's mother is and we see some of Derwin's family but I guess it's not really his family because they are "play cousins."
I guess that's all I have to say. And it looks like next week they will address whether Tasha is really gonna carry Melanie's baby or not. Personally I don't think she's gonna go through with it, but we shall see.

Downton Abbey

I finally got to the last two episodes and let me say they were interesting.
First off, my hate for Thomas and O'Brien has grown so much more from these last 2 episodes than from the others in this season. They are purely evil. I don’t understand why they are trying to get rid of Mr. Bates so badly. What did he ever do to them that was so bad that he doesn’t deserve to work there? Tell me that. And I really don’t know how O’Brien is able to live with herself after she basically killed Cora’s baby!! She needs to be fired! And good thing Thomas is leaving because he’s just as awful as she is.

Now on to the sisters. First off, I was happy that Mary finally came to her senses and at least considered marrying Matthew. But she obviously doesn’t love him if she was so unsure when the possibility of a new brother came. But it really just sucks for Matthew because he really tried to get to know her so some love or even like could arise. And I think he kinda did like her, at least, and she kinda broke his heart. Oh well.
I was shocked when I found out Edith was the one that told Turkey about Mary and the death. Those girls are so mean to each other. And I really felt bad when she didn’t get proposed to because out of all the girls she would probably be the one to stay single and someone actually like her. It’s just sad, but I guess she deserved it. Serves her right for messing with her sister’s life. Doesn’t she know Mary is just that mean??
I like Sybil best out of them all. I like how she’s “political” and doesn’t care what anyone really thinks. I thought it was hilarious how she wore that pants outfit to dinner in the that one episode.

It was a surprise to find out that Bates had a criminal past, and all because of his wife. I guess he must really love her to go to jail over her but he isn’t in love with her anymore. He and Anna are so cute and they really need to just get together.

So now they are in war with Germany. I have a feeling that next season is gonna be bad. The males are probably gonna get drafted and then there won’t be that many suitors for the girls. I wonder if Mary will find anyone to marry. It would be pretty hilarious if Edith gets married before her. I secretly want that to happen. Hopefully I can start to watch the next season soon because this wait just might become unbearable.

The Hunger Games

Finally saw this movie and it was so good. I have to that it was the best movie adaptation of a book I’ve ever seen.
Now, they did take out stuff; some I noticed, some I didn’t, but it wasn’t anything major. And the stuff they added wasn’t bad either. Usually movie adaptations add and take out so much it changes the storyline majorly and you’re better off reading the book. That really didn’t happen for this movie.
I of course read the book before seeing the film and thought the writers did a pretty good job. The only thing I wished was for Katniss to narrate. The book is told from her perspective and you get a lot of her feelings and thoughts when reading that you don’t get in the movie. The narration would’ve also helped with the parts when she was in the arena by herself. There was a lot of quiet moments and I think they passed by them quickly because they did want it to be like “Castaway.” SIDENOTE: “Castaway is a film where a guy gets stranded on this island by himself and it’s basically no talking for probably hours. (I couldn’t get through the whole film.) But that’s what I was thinking of when these parts came.    
One bad thing is that you really can’t understand the film fully unless you read the book first. There are some parts that I think wouldn’t of made sense if you didn’t read. But it really isn’t a bad thing to read the book because it’s amazing.
So, overall I’m really happy with this film adaptation and I can not wait until the next one comes out. I do think that this is the new series and I also think that it’s going to be better than Twilight and Harry Potter. I’ve seen both (not the whole series thought) and I think you can get a better variety of viewers with The Hunger Games. So my advice is to go see this, but make sure you read the book first.
