I just love this new promos. The last 99 episodes really contained a lot of awesome quotes. I hope that there will more like this soon!


Skins: 6x01 Quiz: Did you pay attention?

Last episode of Skins is already a few days ago, do you still remember what happend? Hopefully, but do you still remember all the details? Find out, if you are an attentive viewer:

http://www.e4.com/quiz/skins-s6-ep1-quiz/intro.e4

My result was 14 out of 20. Not really good, is it? Maybe I should pay more attention, but Monday (actually, I'm usually watching the shows the day after, so Tuesday) is just such a busy day on TV!

Gossip Girl: G.G. 100th episode PROMO

Only one week left until the episode we all waited for, the Royal Wedding is finally taking place. Everyone is curious what is going to happen, everywhere are photos, videos and ideas of possible happenings, but for me, everything doesn't really make sense so far.


The latest promo didn't pay any attention to all of these questions the people are dying to know about (at least I am), but showed us all the reasons we LOVE Gossip Girl with a collection of some of the best quotes ever. It is epic. I love it. OMG.


Skins: 6x01 Everyone

Skins is back - and gives us some clues about what we might be seing this season.
  • Franky, not being able to stay in any relationship longer than a couple of days. And feeling guilty about the accident.
  • Rich, trying to continue his relationship with Grace (if she is going to wake up, but she is, I think) against the will of her father.
  • Mini and Alo, sneaking around and keeping their relationship a secret, probably without even admitting to themselved that they do have one indeed.
But will Skins ever give us what we are expecting? No.

As the first episode of a new season, it of course is an "Everyone". Though, I chose the person I liked the most: Mini. Mini McGuinness.
Isn't she just cute with Alo? I know that there are many people out there who wants her to get together with Franky, but I don't think that will actually happen, neither want I. Alo&Mini, that is the couple I am looking forward to the most.



Best moment? That might sound creepy, but I really liked the scene right after the crash, when Rich was looking like he feels something is wrong, something that is going to change everything, without knowing anything yet.

Next episode is all about Rich. Can't wait!!!

The Lying Game: Black and White and Green All Over


Do you believe that "Black and White and Green All Over" was just the 14th episode of ABC's Lying Game? I feel like it is already the 2nd season or something, so much has happend so far. Nevertheless, we almost didn't got any more clues to who is Emma and Sutton's birth mother, now that it has turned out that Annie Hobbs isn't. But despite that fact, she is yet involved in some kind of secret with Rebecca and probably with Alec and Ted, too. Honestly, who on that show isn't?


source: http://www.spoilertv.co.uk/images/cache/the-lying-game/season-1/promotional-episode-photos/Episode%201.14%20-%20Black%20and%20White%20and%20Green%20All%20Over/126691_7898_595.jpg

 I really liked that dress Sutton was wearing at the Black and White Ball, but her hair? It ruined the whole look, just letting it down, curl it a bit, and she would have looked stunning. Keeping it simple, that is the key.

The best song on the last episode was "Sky's Still Blue" from the American singer-songwriter Andrew Belle, whose songs were already featured on an amount of other TV shows like 90210, The Real World, Ghost Whisperer, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Grey's Anatomy, The Vampire Diaries, One Tree Hill and actually, Pretty Little Liars, too. Never heard of him before, though.

Gossip Girl: The Father And The Bride REVIEW



Tell me. We are Dan and Serena, you can tell me anything. It must be true, 'cause I read that online. - Dan

source: http://external.ak.fbcdn.net/safe_image.php?d=AQCuAKTPasUeJzfj&url=http%3A%2F%2Fi2.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fm4Nu2g2e61M%2Fhqdefault.jpg
Who would have thought that Dan Humphrey would be the one that not only one, but actually both of Gossip Girl's female main characters are in love with? Does anyone even remember that little insecure boy that did nothing but waiting in a hotel lobby for hours to see Serena? He definitly did grow, but I am not sure, if I like the "new Dan". (I know, he didn't change over night, but though...) Isn't it pretty unfair of him not to be grateful at all when S canceled her column for him (at least that is what he thinks, because he doesn't know any of the things that are going on with S and the Vanderbilt family). He is just like: oh, yeah, thanks for giving up your only career perspective right now for his future novel, that no one will want to read anyway. Of course, what are 1000 comments compared to a book, that isn't even wanted by his publishers. God, he became soo selfcentered. Or is it just because he is "so insanely in love" with Blair? Why does everyone always want the one they can't have? Serena wants Dan, who wants Blair, who honestly wants Chuck (but can't have him because of God...) and since the last episode, Beatrice, who is in love with the royal family's priest.
In my opinion, Dan should just stop dreaming about Blair and see what is infront of him: the GORGEOUS Serena. Otherwise, it will be too late and Nate will take her. Maybe Archibald doesn't really know it yet, but I think he going to fall for her again. Who wouldn't? I really love Blair, she is the best, but that doesn't mean that all the attention has got to be on her. Why don't share some of that love??? :)

Gossip Girl: The Father And The Bride - Promo *SPOILER ALERT*

Only 4 days left until Gossip Girl's next episode, "The Father And The Bride".The promos are very promosing (both the American and the Canadian). Take a look:



The offical synopsis: 
Blair prepares to celebrate her upcoming royal wedding with a bachelorette party, but others scheme behind her back to make this a night to remember. After discovering the truth behind Chuck  and Blair’s car accident, Nate joins forces with a surprising ally to gather the evidence. Serena and Dan pretend to be dating again to protect someone close to them.


So, Blair's bachelorette party looks like pretty much fun, huh? It is good to see her being happy, less depressed (depressing, too) than she left us last Monday. She is going to be arrested, but it is not very serious, I guess. Roxane Mesquida, the actress playing Louis's sister, told Entertainment Weekly:
“Oh, it’s not crazy, like bad crazy. It’s just a lot of fun.”
She also said something about the party's guests:

“It was insane. They brought all of Blair’s friends from high school."
Did Blair actually have any other true friends except Serena? Probably  Kati Farkas, Isabel Coates, Hazel Williams and Penelope Shafai, although I'm not pretty sure if they are still friends, Blair is used to scare people away after a certain time.

So, what could be happing at that party? With Serena accusing Chuck for doing something, Chuck trying to figure out why Blair left him, and Blair being totally drunk, I have a little theory:
Chuck is snooping around Blair, but she still refuses to tell him the truth. So he follows her to her bachelorette party secretly. When she is perfectly drunk, she gets into some kind of dangerous situation (just slightly dangerous), and Chuck saves her. She spills out the secret (the whole "God's will"-thing) and falls asleep (maybe in Chuck's limo). He takes her home, but when she wakes up, realizing what she did, she is suddenly outright mad at him and sends him away.



We will have to wait until Monday to find out, what is actully happening. Can't wait to!






Gossip Girl: The Mean Blair, Top 8

Now that everything is so complicaded with Blair and Chuck (and Louis and Dan and... God!), not saying that there was a time when their relationship was not complicaded, it is good to be reminded of the time, when they hated eachother (or pretended to). You now, just to raise your mood. I sometimes miss mean, sarcastic Blair, now that we just get quotes like "Just because when can't be together doesn't mean that I won't love you" (I stopped crying by now...).   That is why I made a top 8 list with hateful quotes from Blair about Chuck. Enjoy!
The one and only BLAIR WALDORF
source: http://blog.muchmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/blog-trending-ericdamon.jpg

8.Not to me, Basshole.
(season 2, episode 2 "Never Been Marcused")


 7.You are disgusting and I hate you.
(season 2, episode 3 "The Dark Night")


6. Chuck is an awful person. He does awful things.
(season 2, episode 1 "Summer, Kind of Wonderful")

 5.If you weren't such a perv, i'm sure the CIA would hire you in a second.
(season 1, episode 3 "Poison Ivy")


4. I've been given orders practically from God Himself to avoid you.
(season 1, episode 8 "Seventeen Candles")

This one is ever funnier considering the present conflict.


3. Nate is only friends with you out of habit! The only person with fewer friends than you is Dan Humphrey and even his lame, '90s dad likes him. And that's because he's something you'll never be. A human being.(season 2, episode 5 "The Serena Also Rises")

2. I wasn't aware that robots got jealous. Did they update your software while I was away?

(season 2, episode 1 "Summer, Kind of Wonderful")



And the number one- I think it is already kind of classic!

1. Damn that mother Chucker
(season 2, episode 1 "Summer, Kind of Wonderful")

The Lying Game: Pleased to Meet Me REVIEW

Ryan & Mads
source:http://cdn.media.abcfamily.com/a/images/image-util/500x375/2275d5d7f98ca4c5c8c9a22d05e6bac1.jpg
The Lying Game's thirteenth episode was more fun than every episode before. With the real Sutton back in the game, things are going heat up for sure.
We got to know Ryan, a rich British guy. I think they tried to make him something like a badass, you know, getting kicked out of boarding school, spending his father's money for ridiculous stuff and things like that, but all this didn't really convince me. He is just too nice. Actually, pretty cute and handsome, but yet nice. That is not a bad thing, though I kind of like bad boys (at least on TV;) ). Maybe he is going to be more "badass" (more fun!) in the future. And I'm sorry, but I don't want him to fall in love with Mads and have a sweet little romance, that would be very boring. Anyway, every new character at this show turns out to be involved into some kind of creepy mystery sooner or later.
Just like Justin. Now that we (and Laurel) found out, that he came to town for nothing but revenge, I'm not really suprised. Wasn't he a bit weird from the beginning? Running away for golf? Sure. Couldn't he come up with a better lie?
I love, love, love Sutton. Yes, Emma is the twin who is more kind. Nevertheless, Sutton complaining about her coffee, Emma's styling and everything else was just hilarious. I'm pretty happy she is back for good now, as long as she doesn't mess up Ethan and Emma's relationship.
Speaking of Ethan, did anyone else notice how sarcastic he was around Sutton? Definitly not truly over her, but in my opinion, he should be. I never understood how they even got together.
Can't wait for next week's episode to see Sutton finally taking her life back and tricking around again.

2 Broke Girls: And the Upstairs Neighbor REVIEW

Max, Caroline and their new neighbor
source: http://www.cbs.com/cms/files/imagecache/596xh/101284_D0707b.jpg

I love 2 Broke Girls, especially Kat Dennings, who plays Max. But the latest episode, "And the Upstairs Neighbor", wasn't as good as the others used to be. The idea is funny, a new neighbor moved to their house and the two girls are convinced that she is a prostitute. However, she is not. In my opinion, that twist was pretty obvious from the beginning. OK, watching them embarrass themselves was amusing. And I really liked seeing Jennifer Coolidge. I just found out she is famous because of American Pie (which I've never seen), I always knew her from Legally Blonde and Cinderella Story (very intellectual movies, I know). She is funny as the Polish Sophie, but I'm pretty sure, if she stays on the show for longer than one or two more episodes, she is going to annoy me superbadly.
What I truly want to see soon is a new love interest for one of the girls (or maybe for both?). The best shows always have comedy and romance. Not sure though if I want Johnny to come back. Caroline falling in love with a poor guy could be much fun to watch, too.

Gossip Girl: The End of the Affair? REVIEW

It seems like I waited years for last night's new episode of Gossip Girl, watching that little promo video over and over again (30 seconds are really too short!). Finally watching "The End of the Affair?", it felt like the episode only took about 10 minutes. Not much actually happend, but there was this kind of suspense that left me breathless and dying to see more.
Ok, first a summary what the episode was all about for those who missed it (how could you?) and those who remember nothing but incredibly sweet Chuck in  the last scene.

SUMMARY:
It took place a little while after Chuck and Blair's car crash. Despite the fact Blair lost her baby, both are in good shape again, at least when it comes to their health. But instead of starting a new life together like they planned in 5x10, the royal wedding is still on and Blair is not talking to Chuck and avoiding her friends, especially Serena, as she and Louis got back to New York just in time for The Spectator's New Year's Eve party. Blair's strange behavior makes everyone curious, particulary Chuck, of course, who doesn't know what has changed. So he starts to investigate what she is doing and specially, with whom, because the prince assumes his fiancée is having an affair. He finds out that Blair is meeting Dan frequently. Dan is the only one Blair told about the reason she went back to Louis. It is because she prayed to God, when Chuck was still not awake after the accident, and she begged for Chuck's recovery, promising to abide by her promise to marry Louis in exchange. Chuck did actually woke up directly after, and Blair kept her word. But she's not sure if it is the right thing to do, that is why Dan takes her to church to let her make up her mind. Blair still loves Chuck more than anything, but she is affraid that something is going to happen if she would break the promise she made to God. When she sees are cab almost running into Chuck while she considers going back to him, she finally decides to stay with Louis. In the meantime, Nate tries to talk Serena into using the information the former Gossip Girl readers now send to her for her blog and he gets texts from a first unknown person telling him to do some research about the accident. After finding out that the not properly working car that was the real reason for the crash was supposed to be his, the texting person unveils hisself (or is it probably a herself?) as Gossip Girl.
At the party at the Spectator's office, Blair tells Serena about her secret, and when Chuck and Louis accuse Dan to have an affair with Blair, Serena tells them she and Dan started seeing eachother again to protect Blair. At Midnight, Dan and Serena kiss to make everyone believe the lie.
Lily hired a private investigator to find Charlie, and when she and Rufus are at the place the P.I. told her to find her, they meet the real Charlie without knowing it.
Dan & Blair

MY OPINION:
I can really understand why Blair is beliving that her marrying Louis is God's will and the guilty conscience she would have if her going back to Chuck would be the raison something happens to Chuck. And she just lost her baby, probably is still a bit messed up because of that. It is pretty hard to have to make such life changing deciscions right after a horrible accident like this. (Ok, it's already New Year's Eve, so the crash is already about how long, maybe 2 month, ago.)


Dan caring about her and protecting her was sweet, but I'm still not a Dair fan. In fact, I think it is pretty obvious that Serena is pretty much into him again, and I would favor this relationship, although I reckon that Dan's feelings are not the same. I think he is really fallen for Blair, even though he knows that it's not going to happen.

Chuck- I didn't like him concocting with Louis. The prince doesn't know Blair like Chuck does, so it is kind of ok for him to suspect an affair, but honestly, how could Chuck ever believe in any of that? Sure, he is confused and everything, but he should definitly know better.
Watching Blair destroy his hopes was terribly heartbreaking. I have to admit, I almost cried. You could see in all of Chucks body and face and eyes, that he just didn't understand why he can't be with the woman he loves so much.


Chuck (with Louis in the background, but that is where he should be, shouldn't he?)

For me, this episode was basically about Chuck and Blair, the rest was just details. I can't wait for next week to see what is going to happen next, keeping in mind that on January 30th, there is supposed to be a Royal Wedding...

Gossip Girl: soundtrack season 5

I always have the feeling, that a short time after being played on Gossip Girl, the songs from the soundtrack are getting popular. Is it just because of that or is it because they're amazing songs? Honestly, it's both. (Or maybe they only use the ones, that are already pretty well known...)

source: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51CRMoqETjL._SX500_.jpg

So, I listed my favourite songs  from the running season so far with links to youtube. All of them are fantastic in my opinion, but of course, some are always better than the others. That's why I made this little ranking.

My Top 5:

5. Circles - The Exiles (Yes Than Zero)
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrdbhJ-JH1w

4. Video Games - Lana Del Rey (I Am Number Nine)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRFQVoVlis4

3. This song doesn't really belong here, because it was only played in a promo so far, but I LOVE it so much, it had to be on the list!!!

Southern Sky - John Reynolds (Promo for End Of The Affair?)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN1nhcurL4c


2. Somebody That I Used To Known - Gotye (All The Pretty Sources)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY

1. Heartlines - Florence and the Machine (Riding In Town Cars With Boys)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsRzq3jIhho

The Lying Game: outfits getting worse

I used to really like the cute outfits, that were worn on ABC's The Lying Game. But sometimes, when I'm watching it, I just think "What the hell are they wearing???"


Recently, it's a little bit too high fashion, you know, just not age or school appropriate. Especially Lauren seems to like to show up in the weirdest outfits. Are they trying to make them look older? It's not really working then, it's more ridiculous than grown up.


Picture 2: Laurel's ... not sure what it was supposed to be.

The girls are in high heels all the time, even if they're tidying up (check Mads, picture 3) Maybe it's me who is wrong with saving the heels for special occasions, but isn't it quite nice to be able to dress up more glamorous than you do for school?
I hope the show's stylists are going back to normal soon, because it's getting more and more unrealistic.
