TV Review: Revenge: Meteor(4.04)

                                                         Revenge: Meteor(4.04)Review

• I liked that the episode started with Emily and Nolan trying to figure out who tried to kill her and I liked that the came to the conclusion that Victoria had something to do with it. I liked that when Emily seemed unconcerned by this that Nolan pointed out that this isn't something that she can just brush off.
• I liked that Emily the next day decided that it was for the best that she carries a gun on her just in case.
• I liked that Nolan called the police because he takes Emily's safety more seriously than she does and I like that Emily is just kind of annoyed that she has to give a statement at all.
• I like that David doesn't completely trust Victoria because he really shouldn't trust her at all  but I found it really weird when he started hurting himself and then shoplifted and got himself arrested.
• I liked that when Daniel heard that Margaux loaned money to Victoria that he was worried that Victoria was using her and I liked that Margaux looked at the whole thing as now having Victoria owe her one.
• I liked how Charlotte left and was mad at Victoria for using her meeting with her father as just another chance to hurt Emily.
• I liked that Jack pretty much told his partner to just stop trying to come onto Emily and I liked that Jack came across in that scene as a concerned friend rather than a jealous boyfriend although I'm sure the writers intend it to be the other way around I like that I can read the scene this way.
• I disliked how Victoria lied to Daniel about where she found the money and I liked that Daniel called Victoria out on using Margaux and I liked that he rejected the money and told Victoria to stay away from him, Margaux and Charlotte.
• I'm honestly confused with whether Louise is obsessed with Victoria because she wants her to be a mother figure for her or if she wants to date her it's hard to tell most of the time.
• I liked that after Jack saw when he prepped the line up that David was there that he tried to call Emily right away and then tried to talk to her when she arrived but his partner wouldn't let him which annoyed me so much.
• I found the scene when Emily saw David to be very touching and I liked how she couldn't help but cry when she saw him I'm glad that she knows he's alive now and I want them to have a moment together so badly.
• I liked how Emily was still understandably freaking out when Nolan arrived and I as always loved his concern for her and I liked that when she told him about David being alive he was so clearly shocked and emotional about the whole thing as well.
• I liked that Jack wanted to find someway to give Emily a moment alone with her dad but sadly the police and the press figured out who he really was before she got that chance.
• I liked that Emily used her connection to Amanda once again to speak for herself when she told Jack's partner that Amanda would want her to stay and meet David sadly the partner did not let her in.
• I liked how David gave the statement that Conrad faked his death and then tortured him and held him prisoner for years and that he played dumb about his name being cleared and Conrad being dead in order to throw suspicion off of him with Conrad's murder.
• I liked how Emily told Nolan how it was her biggest dream since her father was arrested that she would be able to see him just one more time and I liked how Nolan told her that she got her wish.
• I don't understand why David trusts Victoria at all if he has went over everything that happened in the past a bunch of times since it's pretty clear she's a big part of the reason he was framed.
• I dislike how Victoria and Charlotte stood with David when he gave his statement to the press but I liked how clearly angry Emily and Nolan were that Victoria got to him first.

TV Review: Agents of Shield: I Will Face My Enemy(2.04)

                               Agents of Shield: I Will Face My Enemy(2.04)Review

• So in this episode they discover that there's a painting with the strange alien writing and Coulson and May go undercover to look for it, I have no real interest in this episode overall so this probably won't be a super detailed review.
• I thought that it was nice to see Coulson and May undercover especially May since she acted so different than she normal did.
• I liked that Coulson wanted to talk to May about a plan as to what to due if things get really bad and I liked that May didn't really want to think or talk about what would happen then.
• I think with the amount of times that Lance has mentioned his ex wife that there is no way that he's over her in anyway what so ever.
• I liked that hallucination Simmons kept trying to get Fitz to join in the conversations that everyone else was having and how she thought that he was afraid of not having anything to say rather than just not fitting in with them.
• I think that it's freaky that Hydra has technology that he can make someone look and sound like someone else.
• I liked that Skye was seen multiple times this episode looking further into the alien writing because she can sense that Coulson and May are hiding something important from her and she intends to find out what that is.
• I liked that Coulson's plan is that when things get really bad is to have May shoot him in the head and have her replace him as the head of Shield.
• I liked that Fitz was able to make sure that the plane didn't blow up and I liked that he was able to bond with Lance and Mack at the end of the episode because of this and show that he could make new friends and move on.
• I liked that May's plan for what happens if things with Coulson gets really bad was to get him out and away from everyone else so that she could keep him safe although Coulson rejects her idea.
• I was so very concerned for Raina at the end of the episode when Whitehill threaten to killer her slowly unless she gets the obelisk back to him and I think it's a bad sign that I was most emotionally invested in Raina who while I love her dearly is a villain and I really shouldn't care about her more than the main characters but I was so very concerned about her well being.

TV Review: How to Get Away with Murder: Let's Get to Scooping(1.04)

                  How to Get Away with Murder: Let's Get to Scooping(1.04)Review

• I liked that this episode started off with a bit more of the direct aftermath of the murder and how we see a bit more of the start of Connor's freak out and I liked how Wes said that they planned to split up because he wants to get Rebecca out of there.
• I liked that in present day that the episode starts off with Connor going over to Oliver's place and I liked despite his hesitation to be a couple he does seem to enjoy that Oliver views them that way.
• I felt really bad for Rebecca when she told Keating that she only confessed because she just wanted the cops to stop asking her the same questions over and over again and because she knew that Griffin was just going to pin the whole thing on her anyways.
• I liked that Keating told Wes how is involvement with Rebecca actually ended up hurting her with how his words are part of  the reason why she ended up confessing to a crime that she didn't commit.
• I liked that Laurel found it admirable that Wes stands up for Rebecca as much as he does because she believes that they should all care about their clients so much.
• I liked how throughout the episode Michaela was worrying about not having enough time to study for exams and I liked how Frank and Bonnie brought up the concept of a shooting star which I'm guessing is someone who cracks under pressure or something like that.
• I liked that Marin the client of this week's case that was accused of insider trading was a self made business woman who seemed to have a lot of confidence and almost no shame which I admired quite a lot.
• I liked how Marin trusted her employees completely and I liked that despite this Keating still had everyone interview Marin's staff because that kind of trust is often misplaced.
• I liked that Nate is still looking into Sam's involvement in the Lila Standgard case but I think that it's a mistake on his part to not let Keating know about his suspicious since if her husband's a killer she could be in danger.
• I liked that on the night of the murder we saw Connor freaking out in the car and mentioning all the evidence that they had already left behind and how they were totally and completely screwed.
• I liked how when Michaela was ranting about how Wes shouldn't have the trophy because he kept screwing up that Wes offered to just give it to her and then she yelled at him that it doesn't work that way.
• I both liked and disliked how Connor was willing to sleep with the assistant in order to get evidence that proved their client's innocence.
• I liked that Laurel with the help of her boyfriend Kan along with Wes were all trying to raise enough money for Rebecca's bail.
• I liked how Bonnie used seeing Nate break into Sam's car as a way to get the tape of Rebecca's confession from the police.
• I was surprised that the assistant after Marin confronted and degraded him in front of everyone ended up killing himself but I did like that after it happened that Marin felt guilty about what she said even though he did betray her.
• I liked that Keating was able to find the two other people that were working with the assistant in order to frame Marin for the crime.
• I liked that Keating was able to prove that Rebecca's confession was coerced and her bail was then lowered to an amount that was able to be raised so that she could go home before the trial.
• I liked that on the night of the murder or rather the morning after that Connor went over to Oliver's place and just completely broke down about how much he screwed up even though this probably wasn't a smart move on his part I liked the scene because it was so very human.
• I liked that Connor admitted to Oliver that he actually likes him but I also still like that Oliver dumped him for sleeping with another guy because Connor deserved that.
• I liked that Wes waited until he could talk to Rebecca about the phone to tell Keating about it because he wanted to gain her trust and I liked that Keating told him that was smart of him and that being the person that Rebecca could trust was a big responsibility.
• I wasn't surprised to learn that there was evidence that implicated Sam in Lila's murder but I was a bit surprised that it was a picture of his penis.

Book Review: Gallagher Girls: Out of Sight Out of Time

                                                Out of Sight Out of Time Review

The fifth book in the Gallagher Girls series starts months after the last book but Cammie doesn't seem to be able to remember anything that has happened over the summer so while she's able to get back to school, her friends and family she still doesn't feel like she's safe there because she has such a large gap in her memory she doesn't feel like herself and so she makes it her mission to recover her loss memories. Her friends and family think that there's a reason that Cammie can't remember last summer so they try to discourage her quest but it soon becomes clear that she refuses to give up the search for loss memories.

There is also progress in what the circle is after and it's revealed that Cammie learned what they were over her summer that she can't remember and it's also revealed why the circle have had such an interest in Cammie these last couple of years. This plot point does a really good job at tying the series all together with how it points out the importance of the first book which while a lovely and fun introduction to the characters and world of the series didn't really seem all that connected to the rest of the series before it's revealed that the events of the first book are more important than readers would assume.

This book is overall good the story was interesting and the characters were great as always and there relationships with each other were even better and I felt that quite a lot of important things happened with the plot in this book. Overall this was a great book in a great series. Please tell me your thoughts on this book or just the series in general.

Top 5 Songs from The Family Jewels: Marina and the Diamonds

I really love music and I feel like I don't really get a chance to talk about it so I decided that making a list of my favorite songs from certain albums was a good place to start and since Marina is one of my absolute favorites I thought this was a good place to start.
1. Oh No!: This song is fun it's one of those songs that make you want to dance and sing along to it which is enough to make me listen to it on repeat but what truly makes it great is that the meaning behind the lyrics. This song is about going after who you want to be and making your own dreams come true but doing what you dream to and being who you want to be and not caring about what anyone else thinks about it and being completely unapologetic in how you go about in achieving these goals. I also love how extreme the stacks are played as in the song with the whole "I'm going to live/I'm going fly/I'm going to fail/I'm going to die" I just love how success seems to be the only acceptable option and I also love the whole "I always feel like I'm the worst/so I always I act like I'm the best" I love the whole fake it until I make it attitude of the song. This song is one that I love a lot and I feel like on a lot of the levels that I can't exactly explain that I relate to this song.
2. Are you Satisfied?: I love this song because I really love the upbeat tone of the song and the fast pace of the song that both seem to fit with the lyrics and go against them at the same time. I also really love the lyrics with how the song seems to be about how it seems to be about asking if you're satisfied with having just an average life but also with how in order to achieve being better than most everyone else is something that takes a lot of work, puts a lot of pressure on and could end up making you unhappy while trying to reach your goals. I'm not sure if I'm getting the message of the song right or wrong but I really love that it tells a clear story to me.
3. Hollywood: I really love that song with how it talks about all the stereotypes of what Hollywood is suppose to look like but also makes mentions to some of less glamorous aspects of the Hollywood dreams as well. I also just like how it's also about how no matter how messed up and fake the reality of the Hollywood ideal is it shows that people still continue to desire that kind of life even though it might not be wise to.
4. I Am Not a Robot: This song is a bit slower paced than the other songs on this list and overall feels like it's in a different style all together and I really enjoy that it sounds different. I love that this song is about how you can't fit into certain molds that are set up for you and that it's much better not to try to be anyone but yourself because who you are and the connections you make while being yourself is more important than fitting into any role the system tries to fit you into. I also really like the use of being like a robot is used through out the song especially with the whole "Can you teach me how to feel real" and I thought that this metaphor worked really well for the song.
5. Hermit the Frog: This song is one that I just found really fun with both the way it sounds and what the lyrics seem to say as well. I'm not entirely sure what the song is about but I think that it seems to some sort of coming age story with how she describes how she went to the doctor believing that something was wrong with her because she developed a dirty mind but no matter what the song it about I know for sure that I love it.

TV Review: How to Get Away With Murder: Smile, or Go To Jail(1.03)

                     How to Get Away With Murder: Smile, or Go To Jail(1.03)Review

• I liked how this episode showed what happened directly after the murder, it showed Wes comforting Rebecca, Michaela completely freaking out and sobbing in the corner and Laurel doing her best to assure her that everything was going to be okay and Connor was also freaking out but in a more we have to get out of here way than an unable to move way.
• I liked how Michaela explained to her fiancé how completely she had planned out how the rest of there lives are going to be and how it was made clear this episode that she had to have everything be perfect and planned in advance.
• I liked how Wes tried to find away to talk to Rebecca because he wants to find a way to help her out.
• I liked how when Keating was told that she should take the Lila Standgard case and defend Griffin that she didn't say that she would right away because she need to know if her husband was involved or not in the case.
• I was surprised to learn that Michaela's fiancé and Connor knew each other because they went to boarding school together and I found it both amusing and mean that Connor kept implying that the two of them hooked up to Michaela who had no clue what he was talking about for most of the episode.
• I liked how the case of the week at first started off as a minor thing that wasn't even going to go to court because that shows that not all the cases that Keating works are high profile cases.
• I liked that the case ended up being something much bigger with the women having been involved in an extremist group and had planted a bomb years earlier.
• I liked how the defense of brainwashing was laid out in this episode.
• I liked that when Connor said that there was no way that they could win this case that Keating told him that he had to turn in the statue because he doubted her abilities.
• I liked how Asher used his connections in order to find the witness they needed even if those connections where his parents they still helped with the case.
• Now that they pointed out that Frank isn't a lawyer that makes me curious about what his job really is.
• I'm disappointed that Laurel seems to be into Frank and that there most likely going to end up having a relationship with each other.
• I was surprised to learn that the phone that Rebecca hid in Wes's bathroom was actually Lila's phone and also it sounded from the call he answered that Lila was the one that was a drug dealer not Rebecca like Griffin claimed.
• I liked how on the night of the murder that Connor got on board with the plan once they discussed burning the body and he pointed out that the smoke from the bonfire would mask the scent of smoke.
• I liked that on the night of the murder that Laurel came up with the idea of using the bonfire as there alibi and I liked that it was shown that Laurel and Wes were able to take a bunch of pictures were they really looked like they were having fun but with Connor he looked very unhinged but at least still trying to fake casualness and Michaela just can't deal with any of this.
• The scenes with the client and the cult leader made me wonder who really had the power in the relationship and since they were clearly in love I started to wonder if this relationship had a power imbalance at all.
• I liked how Nate went around to check if Sam's alibi checked out for Keating's benefit but it really didn't which just makes me think that Sam is the one that killed Lila.
• I liked how after hearing what Griffin had to say about the night Lila died that Wes was still so sure that Rebecca was innocent and that he still wanted to find a way to help her.
• I was worried about the trouble that Wes would get in for impersonating a lawyer in order to get a meeting with Rebecca but I liked that he risked that trouble to help her.
• I liked that when Connor told Michaela about how he slept with her fiancé when they were in high school that he said it was no big deal and that Michaela was more upset with her fiancé for lying to her about something like that rather than the fact that he slept with a guy but it was that he hid it from her that really bothered her more than anything else.
• I liked how Wes explained why he tried to help Rebecca the way that he did because he could see that Griffin was going to be fine because he had money and plenty of people backing him but Rebecca has no one and is just going to be used as a pawn and that he thought that being a defense lawyer meant making sure that everyone would get a fair trial.
• I liked how after the case was screwed up with the witness being promised early release if he lied in court that Keating was able to get three hours to come up with a new defense and I liked that it looked like Michaela may have found one if only the client hadn't of run off.
• I think that it's really horrible that on the night of murder Michaela lost her engagement ring that can't lead to anything good.
• I liked that Keating decided that she will be defending Rebecca in the Lila Standgard case because of what Wes said to her and I liked that Wes won the statue for that as well.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: Revenge: Ashes(4.03)

                                                         Revenge: Ashes(4.03)Review

• I liked that Jack went back into his bar when he saw that it was burning in order to try and save pictures but he ended up seeing Emily and ended up saving her.
• I both liked and disliked that Emily decided not to mention Charlotte's part in the fire because I like that she wants to protect Charlotte but I'm also not quite sure that Charlotte's deserves that protection after making an attempt on Emily's life.
• I liked how Emily checked herself out of the hospital before Nolan even got a chance to visit her and I liked that he was concerned that she didn't stay long enough and was very worried about her near death experience while Emily tried to play it off like it was no big deal.
• I liked that when Victoria went and found Daniel with the sole intention of getting money from him that he was having none of it and basically just told her off for disappearing for the last few months and told her about what has been recently going on with Charlotte and everything else.
• I liked that Nolan went to help Jack clean up the remains of his bar overall I just like when these two of scenes together since I like their relationship and I wish they'd show us more of it.
• I liked that Jack finds out about how Charlotte was involved in the bar fire and that he ends up confronting Emily about it. I liked that Jack is both concerned about Emily since Charlotte nearly killed her and upset because his bar which is one of the last connections he has to his dad  has been destroyed.
• I liked how Victoria pretty much blew off Louise also I found it strange that she was released so quickly but okay.
• I found it strange that Victoria decided to bring Charlotte to meet David when throughout last episode she seemed frightened of him but in this one she seems to be just using him.
• I kind of like that no one is willing to work with or hire Daniel because of his last name.
• I liked the first moment were Charlotte and David meet because they are both so clearly glad to meet each other.
• I liked that when Emily revealed that she planned to just talk to Charlotte about what happened the day before that Nolan told her that was a bad idea and that he was worried about her because he almost lost her yesterday.
• I hated how Victoria gave Charlotte the credit for the work that Emily did in clearly David's name but I did like that Charlotte clear didn't feel right with going along with that story.
• I liked that Daniel told Marguax that he didn't want her to pull any strings for him because he liked that their relationship isn't built on things like that.
• I liked that Emily made clear in her confrontation with Victoria that Charlotte was seeing that she didn't want to take revenge on Charlotte and that she just wanted to talk.
• I really don't get why Victoria thinks that what Emily did to her when she knows damn well why Emily did that and why she deserves what she got, I mean she had Emily committed when she was a child that was all her no Conrad involved.
• I liked how Daniel got kicked out of his hotel room because his credit card was declined.
• I liked that Nolan expressed concern about Emily's actions and then he told her that thinks it's best if stays at her place that night.
• I liked how Emily said that she could tell that Victoria knew something big that she didn't know.
• I liked the scene between Emily and Jack, I just really enjoy their relationship as friends but I know the show wants me to ship it romantically but I just don't, I like that Jack thinks it's time that he moved past the bar since it was never really his dream.
• I like that it seems like David recognized Emily and that's why he stopped although I was pretty worried that he wouldn't and that he would've killed her.
• I liked that Nolan rushed in the room to protect Emily and I liked that David escape before either of them could recognize him but I can't wait to see what happens when these three really have a scene together.

Please tell me your thoughts on the episode.
