What I'm Watching ... Television Part 2

The Vampire Diaries - First off, Bonnie is back! Second off, this is Elena's (Nina Dobrev) last season!!! She posted on her Instagram over the weekend saying that, "I always knew I wanted Elena's story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime. I was a human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger. I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and there's still so much more to come before the season finale in May. Elena fell in love not once, but twice, with two epic soul mates, and I myself made some of the best friends I'll ever know and built an extended family I will love forever." So, so sad for TVD family and fans. I used to watch her on Degrassi, so I've been watching her from the beginning and will keep on watching for whatever she does in the future. Good Luck!! Watch on the CW Thursdays 8/7c.

The Originals - Klaus needs to get his head out of his a** and take care of his daughter. It seems like he cares about Hope, and yet still doesn't trust anyone to save her - especially family. His sister - who everyone thought was dead - is back and willing to help and yet Klaus thinks she has a vendetta against him. Maybe she does, and maybe she doesn't. But when he gets all irrational he puts the lives of everyone else in danger. I like Klaus, but if he was a nicer character there probably wouldn't be a show. He's learning to be nice though, and that's a start. I'm waiting for Dahlia to arrive - Dahlia is Esther's sister who helped her reproduce and by doing so made a pact that every first born in each generation would belong to her, which is how she got Freya and also why she's coming for Hope. If they all work together they can probably get rid of Dahlia forever, but we all know how much of a team player Klaus is. Watch on the CW Mondays 8/7c.

Grimm - I can't believe that Juliette is now a Wesen. Damn that Adalind. If she hadn't slept with Nick, she wouldn't be preggers and Juliette wouldn't have turned into some badass Hexenbiest. Yes you read correctly, Adalind is pregnant with Nick's child. Or at least I think it's Nick's child, she hasn't really been with anyone else since she pretended she was Juliette and Nick lost his Grimm-ness (I don't really know what the word would be. He basically stopped being a Grimm until they turned him back). Nick is having a hard time dealing with this and so is Juliette. She wants to go back to normal, but the only way to do that is for Nick to kill her, which we know will not happen. Then with this new Adalind news, Juliette is going to absolutely crazy! Watch on NBC Fridays 8/7c.

Law & Order: SVU - Not going to lie I have not been really watching this show. The last episode I caught was "Undercover Mother" where Benson goes undercover in a whore house. I definitely need to catch up, but I haven't really been into it lately. I don't know if it's because a lot of the actors are new or because it's just getting old. Either way you can watch on NBC Wednesdays 9/8c.

Criminal Minds - Nothing is really new with CM, except that Jennifer Love Hewitt is new to the show and is now pregnant. Her niece/daughter is talking to a "senior" online who is probably a serial killer/rapist and will probably kidnap her on a later show - if you don't know what I'm talking about then you need to catch up! I believe the episode I'm referring to was the last one before Christmas break. Anywho, I like JLH, but I don't know if I like her on the show - same problem I have with Dr. Who - but I'll get over it. Watch on CBS Wednesdays 9/8c.

Once Upon A Time - So much has happened in the last few weeks. Gold is back with Cruella, Ursela and Maleficent. We find out that Maleficent wants revenge on Snow and Prince Charming because her daughter was sent away because they thought it would save Emma from turning evil - though all it did was make her angry when she found out. Usually you're worst nightmares come true because you try to change it. If you just let things take their course it will probably end up better because then you are not meddling and being all secretive, but it doesn't seem like Snow or Prince Charming learn from their mistakes because they were going to try and get rid of the author - who could potentially rewrite everyone's ending and make them happy. But then again, when they set him free he ran. He's also the one that pointed Snow and Prince Charming in the direction of another author who showed them Emma's possible futures. Some of the stories on Once kind of blend together and it has become annoying to me. For example, Ursula's story sounds like Ariel where her singing voice is gone and all she wants is to get it back and be with her father the ruler of the sea - who has a Triton. It's a little too much. And then Gold is Rumpelstilskin, the Beast and Peter Pan's son. Just way too far fetched. Anyhow, Ursula is back in the sea with her father now, so that's one evil villain we no longer have to worry about, although it looks like they're bringing back the Wicked Witch. And then, we also find out who Maleficent's daughter is, Emma's first best friend, Lily. So maybe she'll turn good, too, but not before seeking revenge on Snow and the Prince's happy ending I'm sure - although I think right now they're happy ending is going away on their own. I'll keep watching because I like Henry, Emma and Hook. I just don't like how they change some of the character's stories and they blend with others, but I guess its hard to write it all into one show. Watch on ABC Sundays 8/7c.

The Mysteries of Laura - Who doesn't like Will & Grace? Well, it's nothing like Will & Grace but it does have Grace (Debra Messing) who plays Laura Diamond, the best NYPD homicide detective and quirky, divorced mom on the show. There's so much stupid humor I just love it. Especially because Laura's ex-husband is also her boss who is trying to win her back. Too bad for him she has a hunky chef boyfriend to compete with, and from what I saw in the last episode future baby daddy?! Oh lordy! I don't know if she'll be able to handle another child on top of her twin terrors! We'll see how that plays out. It returns April 22 on NBC at 8/7c.

Revenge - "Emily" finally admits to the world that she is Amanda Clarke. What does this mean for all the people who have helped her lie? Nolan Ross, her best friend has known the entire time that she was Amanda and helped her scheme and seek revenge on all the people who did her father wrong. Now that he's alive, she had no reason to hide, if only to protect herself from those who want to kill her. But she realized that her lie has cost so much - Margot miscarried Daniels child and both Daniel and the real Emily Thorne died saving her life. She didn't want to stay hidden anymore, and maybe her coming out will help others realize that she is trying to make amends for all the wrong that she's done while seeking her revenge. Watch what happens Sundays 10/9c on ABC.

Nashville - Deacon just told Rayna that he has cancer, which was heartbreaking because she finally wants to be with him. But at least now their little family is together at last. Juliette is super preggers and her new hubby Avery is opening up for Rascal Flatts with the Triple Xs. He keeps calling her all the time and she thinks he's gone crazy, but it's sweet because he misses her and knows how crazy she can be, especially when pregnant. Also glad that Scarlett finally got over her stage fright and can be back on stage because she has a great voice. Can't wait for next episode because my girl Christina Aguilera will be on the show! Woot Woot!! Also, the show is going on tour so get your tickets if you can! They aren't traveling to Florida which sucks for me, but may be lucky for those in NY, Boston, CA and more. Check the dates here and watch Wednesdays 10/9c on ABC.

Jane the Virgin  - A new episode just came on last week (I watched it yesterday). Sooo good!! Sooo many things happened. Jane's new friend is Michael's ex!!! Jane's father is becoming best friend's with Michael and that is not making Rafael happy at all. Why would it? Michael obviously is still in love with Jane, but he's probably going to get back with his ex, who is friends with Jane and Jane doesn't know who she REALLY is! It's such a telanovela. I used to watch them with my vavo and the drama of it all makes for really intriguing television. Yes, of course, it's totally a chick show and doesn't make any sense, but I absolutely love it! Personally, I think Jane is going to end up with Michael because it seems like it's always about him, but we will see. Watch on the CW Mondays 9/8c.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Last night I watched Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close , the 2011  film starring Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock and newcomer Thomas Horn. I knew the film was going to be about September 11th, but I was not expecting this - a 9 year old's journey through New York City to find the lock to a key left by his father who died in the World Trade Center, is what the previews said, but it was a lot more than that. It was a sons struggle to find himself and cope with the loss of his father in his own way. Not only does he meet many different people of different backgrounds, but along the way he realizes that his father left him one great life lesson and that he can make it on his own without him. It could have done with more mother-son time, because Sandra bullock is barely in the movie, but I think that was the point. The son didn't need his mother, though she was there, in the background. He knew she was there and so did the viewer, but not until the end. The major role definitely goes ...

Shadow of Night

So I finished the book Shadow of Night ...it was amazing! I can not wait until the third installment comes out and I hope that its soon. The character development of Matthew and Diana is great. Throughout the book they find out more about themselves and each other, even though they are decades in the past. Matthew, because he lived in that time period, has to revert back to his old ways and the reader can see how different was in the past compared to the present. When time traveling, you learn that you are not supposed to alter time. Matthew and Diana left an important mark on Elizabethan London and the rest of history. Historical figures come and go throughout the book, such as Christopher Marlowe, Walter Raleigh, Queen Elizabeth and a brief mention of William Shakespeare. Diana was there to learn more about her magic, but only developed her power towards the end when a surprising character appears and helps rid her of her fear of magic. There are plenty more characters in the book, ...

Witchy Tiaras

I'm almost done with Shadow of Night ...I won't give a run down of the book until I'm done, so instead I'm going to discuss a little show called Toddlers and Tiaras - some may be aware of this show as it has been on for a few years now on TLC. I watch this show on a regular basis - 1. Because I can't help watching a train wreck happen 2. Because there's nothing else on and reality tv can be pretty entertaining 3. I can't understand how some parents can put their children through something so grueling and cruel as a beauty pageant. Now, you may think that because I watch the show I condone this sort of behavior and in turn I am one of the many viewers that keep shows like this on tv. But, let me explain a little bit. My mind works in ways that make it attracted to things that I can not explain or understand - for example I'm fascinated by the Holocaust, beauty pageants and witches, vampires and werewolves (not the Twilight kind either). Beauty pageants ...
