Okay first and most important i think, was the return of Jenny Humphrey to the upper east side, and oh the drama this caused, i think that this was the best thing they could have done- bring Jenny back, she is one of the best characters. After all the negative press about her recently including a damning interview with Tim Gunn, guest star in this weeks episode about what a spoilt brat she is, she still managed to come off amazingly in this episode, I'm sorry Tim but i don't care. I love Taylor Momsen!
Then there was the awesome Mentalist episode which i loved! Poor Jane though i feel really bad for him.
Also there was the second episode of Pretty Little Liars and i have to say i am really getting into this show- i know i said i wasn't sure about it at the start and i wasn't but it seems to be getting a lot better.
I have to say my fave character character has to be Aria but they are all pretty amazing actresses.
And then of course there was the other abc Family drama which has made head way over here, Make it or Break it. This is just getting juicy, i think that i love all of these girls and i cannot wait for the next episode.
Okay so i think i have covered all the shows and now just a few other things, I won't be doing a whats on this week post as it is exactly the same as the last one, so read it here: Click
There are just a few changes to be aware of, One Tree Hill is back at its usual time of 10pm but it is a season finale and so there is a double bill until midnight, so excited, it looks really good:
Okay so i think i have covered everything, so I'll leave you with this.

Okay so this was written as i was watching the show and so is a bit all over the place Love this show.
I have to find itv2 HD! This show would be epic in HD
Oh yes Katherine got to Caroline- got to see where that goes!
Ooo a flashback, no dream! Oo confused much! Wow i can just see this getting very confusing with both Katherine and Elena looking exactly the same. Don’t Damon and Elena look really good together! Wow, sorry but so much better than her and Stefan. Wow he is confused when he first wakes up.
I love Katherine- she is an amazing character, with i have to say the best lines and Nina seems to play her a lot better than Elena, or maybe that is just the writing, maybe it is not just Nina acting making Elena look like a bit of a wet blanket. Katherine has some spice and i have to say she does make life a hell of a lot more interesting.
Damon is now stalking Elena? They are so going to end up together at some point. And again I say- what’s with this town and parties?
Come on Tyler you know you are going to end up like uncle dearest. How is Tyler still letting him in the house after seeing him like that, last week? I wouldn’t be letting him anywhere near my house.
Katherine likes her history and flashbacks; she seems to know her stuff. A hell of a lot more than the rest of them seem to know anyway. I have to say that the flashback scenes are done very well and i love the old fashioned dresses, i would love to just try one of those on.
Oh this seducing Stefan is getting a bit old Katherine move on already! You’ve even been replaced for god’s sake. (By the wet blanket)
Wow locking away in the basement- that is something new and exciting, and the Vervain, that keeps making an appearance. And torture to get information- when will we move forward.
Jenna has so many choices- a vampire hunter or a werewolf.
LOL Damon with the one liners! You do crack me up.
Yes Caroline with the blunt truth. I live for you putting your foot in it.
Enough with the flashbacks- getting a little bored with them now, although it is fun to get some background on the whole twisted brotherly love.
Damon hasn’t changed much- always with the rough love.
Yes she says she never compelled you but do you trust her- I wouldn’t!
Yes Jenna with the tough love for Damon. I couldn’t do what she does, i couldn’t look into those eyes with hate- they are just too damn hot!
Yes she knew they were burning the vampires- I told you she’s evil! She practically killed them with her own hands. And Stefan and Damon- how could she do that! They are just too damn hot.
Well this little gathering is about to turn very nasty- I can tell.
Go Caroline! Tell it like it is, make way for Elena and Damon. Get rid of Stefan. Wow I don’t know why I am being so anti Stefan this week; I think Caroline is rubbing off on me.
Damon are you always trying to kill someone? Come on can’t you play nice! So much drama.
She’s an indestructible evil bitch! How does that work- how are they going to kill her off! Otherwise where does the season end?
Elena and Katherine face to face- finally! I have been waiting for this for a long time. And yet Elena did not get hurt? I’m a little confused.
Ooo looks like Carolines a gonner.
Werewolf fight! And now Tyler is definitely a werewolf, there is no way he is going to go the whole season without killing him.
NO no no i didn’t mean it- i love you Stefan, don’t break up! And don’t you look so smug Damon, she probably won’t pick up still.
Ohhh it was a stunt! Now i get it. To through people off the scent. And not telling Damon that is going to go so well.
Oh so she may actually love Stefan, but somehow i doubt it.
Okay so i have just finished watching an abc family double whammy: Make it or Break it and Pretty Little Liars and i have to say they were both rather entertaining, up there with my fave original abc drama, 8 simple rules.
Okays so quick overview of both shows- look away now if you have yet to discover these shows.
So Make it of Break it is about four elite gymnasts who all train at the same gym. the story follows them through their lives and the challenges they face to become Olympic champions. There is Payson, the average girl with average family who is an amazing power gymnast and who is very very focused. Then there is Kayley who is more focused on the popularity side of being an elite gymnast and her boyfriend (who shes not supposed to have). As with any group of teenage girls there is the bitch- Lauren a true daddy's little girl who gets everything she could ever want through her dad. Then there is the new girl, the odd one out, she is the wild card who came from a public gym on a scholarship and although it is against gym rules, has to have a job to support her family. I have a feeling with those three in a gym together things are going to get interesting. In the first episode we got introduced to these characters, their family's and their coaches. and then just when we thought we were going to get a bit bored of this show, all hell breaks lose as Lauren loses her spot on the team and decides to move to a different club, taking with her all her daddy's money and more importantly the gyms coach- Oh the drama! i just hope they manage to get it all across in this amazing short first season with only ten or so episodes to work with. hmmm... that will be interesting. but don't worry guys this show looks like it is in for the long haul having just been renewed for a third season in the US.
Then there is Pretty Little Liars, i am still a little bit worried about this show, it is supposedly based on a really good book series which is very popular but i haven't had a chance to read it. For those of you who have, Do you think i should read the books first before watching the rest of the show, would i actually get what is going on better? I don't know i am not sure. it kind of seems like this show is a bit of another teen drama with no storyline behind it. Four pretty girls get themselves into a nightmare situation, scream a lot and then get rescued, i don't know they need to do something better than that to keep me interested. Also the total cliche of them all having their own problems, the worst of which is Araia (Lucy Kate Hale), i mean the whole hooking up with the teacher is so over done and totally unrealistic, i mean come on i have never met a teacher who i would in anyway go anywhere near. i think this show needs a dash of reality and less hot people frolicking around for an hour.
On a totally different note i caught up with The Mentalist last night which was pretty amazing, it was nice to learn some more about Jane's past, although i really want to know who red john is now, is is driving me insane.
And on another side note in my post yesterday i gave you a grid of shows expected to be picked up and not be picked up and i after CW's announcement of the rest of their TV shows i will be really sad to see Life Unexpected go, hopefully it will get a late pick up.
Okay so i have been away for a while so i thought i would just post this little catch up of what i have been reading, watching and listening to:
okay so first, you may remember me posting a music video on the post abopuyt the first episode of the second season of Vampire Diaries Called Wonderful life by Hurts- if not view it here. I loved this song so much that i decided to download the rest of the album and i have now listened to it solidly for the last week and a bit. You should definitely check it out.Here is a link to iTunes: Hurts- Happiness
I am also well into the Marked series now and i love it- it is a very girl power book and very teenage angstish- i am so into it. Check it out here.
I have also read the first book in the Blue Bloods series by Melissa de la Cruz and i am really excited about this series as well, although yes it is another Vampire series and at the minute i think this genre is severely over done but this book is waaay to good to let that get in the way of me reading this series.
Okay so i know i have been away for a while but i am also ill so i have managed to catch up on Vampire Diaries already and i have to say that this episode was amazing. Maybe even better than the first episode of this series. So five stars. i love Caroline as a vampire and i have to say the relationship between Damon and Stefan and Elena is pretty amazing in this episode and it was good to see some werewolf action in this episode. The only thing which annoyed me was that Matt is still the only one in the dark and i feel really bad for him.
Make it or Break it- yay this amazing abc original drama is finally making its way to UK airwaves and i cannot wait- it is on today at four and i cannot wait. Watch the promo just here. Okay so it is the promo for when the series came out in the US but you get the idea. I wrote a lot about this before in my moan so check it out here.
I am so glad that so many US shows are finnally being picked up. but as can you can see from past posts you can see i am still missing some. i haven't managed to see the first episode of Pretty Little Liars but when i do i will post about it- i am really excited.
Desperate Housewives made its debt this season on Sunday and i have to say it keeps getting better and better. the only thing i have a problem with is i swear they have replaced the guy who plays Carlos- he looks way different but he could have just lost an amazing amount of weight- i don't know he seems different. I am also really excited to see Renee (Vanessa Williams) in this and i have to say she is amazing in this an i am very excited to see what they do with her character.
I have also caught up with One Tree Hill and i am soo happy that Brooke is happy, upset that Skills and Mouth are not talking. i wonder what theyw ill do with the whole sarah bit of the show that will be fun. i really wanted Haley to be preganat and i loved the bit with Brooke, her mother and desinger. i can't believe that Julian is being blackmailed, just to add to the drama. And again Bethany is anamazing actress and she made me cry again in this episode. Remember people next week One Tree Hill is on an hour later because of the whole Hollyoaks later thing next week so reset your box.
Okay below i have pasted a little grid of the prediction table of the TV shows which will and will not get picked up for the next year and i have to say i am a little upset about this. according to this table Life Unexpected may be going and Parenthood may also be going- i am so annoyed.
Okay so i think i have covered everything, i will post again about what i will be watching this week later- watch out for that one.
Jemzxxx
Okay so this is quick post as i am in the middle of packing- meaning my room is now covered in junk i keep putting into my suitcase and taking out two minutes later. anyway i though i would just take a moment to update you on what i have been watching this week and other fun things to look forward to. I will be super quick and try to cover as much as possible, so keep up.
Okay so this week i have already blogged about what i have been watching and did separate posts for both life unexpected and One Tree Hill well, here is a quick overview of the other things i have been watching, i do not want to offend, all my TV programmes are important to me but i am pressed for time.
So Vampire Diaries on Tuesday was nowhere near as good as the first episode, but maybe it was just because i had been looking forward to the first one for a good few months and this one a few days, i don't know. Anyway lots of fun stuff happened and this is where you do not read if you have not seen this episode yet, i hate reading spoilers personally so look away now. So Caroline is a vampire as we first thought but she seems to be dealing with it well, even teasing Damon a little which is always fun to watch. Stefan has become a lot more talkative and did you know? He can fly, or at least jump very very high without even bending his knees, i know weird! Bonnie was a lot more friendly this week and it was good to see her and Elena together. Maybe it was because Katherine didn't actually make an appearance in this episode that it seemed more boring i don't know but i did miss her, it is always good to have more havoc she seems to bring. Random thought but where is Alaric? surely he would want to be in the middle of all this with Katherine knocking around. And the most important bit- hot werewolves wandering around- this is going to be so much fun. *** 3 star rating this week, sorry guys, try better next time.
Next there was Gossip Girl and i cannot believe where this is going this season and- Spoilers- i cannot believe Eva has left Chuck, all because of Blairs cunning if a little childish plan. we all knew that as soon as Serena came back into the picture that Vanessa would be out on her ass but i actually felt a bit bad for her this time, personally if i was Dan and Vanessa i would run away now whilst things are actually good before all the GG drama can mess it up again. Again i felt a little bit sorry for Rufus again, Lily really does own him. Oh well, i am sure that will change when Jenny comes back into the picture she has a bigger pull for Rufus that Lily. I am really looking forward to what Juliet is up to, lying about the text and managing to lie about where she lives.
Human Target was not as good as last week but still pretty amazing although i have to say i would love to learn some more about the cast, i feel like i don't really know them yet.
Coming to UK TV on Viva is Pretty Little Liars the abc family original drama adapted from a book series it looks like one of those things which is either really good or really bad, i can't tell yet, i will blog about it as soon as i have managed to watch it.
In other news i have just finished reading the first couple of books in the IT Girl series which i am really enjoying,, it is by the same author as the Gossip Girl series. i didn't know that when i picked the first book up, i don't think i would have read it if i had known, as i never really got into the GG books, but i love these! i would recommend that you read them, trying not to affiliate them with the TV series but it is your choice. Anyway there is a point to this, as i am about to go on holiday, i am going to take a break from the TV and catch up with some of my faverite authors and so i have decided to take the first few books in the Marked series and the first of the Bluer Bloods series, i will report back.
Ermm anything else to report...
Oh yes still pissed off that they haven't aired any of the 90210 season yet or Glee especially as i keep seeing pictures and reports all over the Internet annoying or what?
Also can we all stop moaning about Chris Moyles and how he shouldn't be on Radio 1 anymore- i love him and he is the only reason i manage to get up in the morning, so stop picking on him would you!
Can i also say i have now lost all respect for Mischa Barton after the interview she gave about how Fearns portrayal of her on Fearn And... was insulting and untrue and how Fearn is in no way near as good as her. SHUT UP MISCHA! I used to love you in The OC but now i just think that you will say or do anything to get yourself known and i although i don't particularly like Fearn either, she did not deserve that!
Okay so end of rant, end of post, got to get back to packing- Luve yuu
Jemzxxx
Rndom thought but don't you miss the original opening credits from like season 1, i loved them an i hear they are coming back in season 8 and i am quite excited to see what they do as they can't really have Lucas on the bridge anyumore but we will see. I only mention it because todays episode the title was on a different coloured back ground making it stand out in my head.
I quite like the storyline they came up with to get rid of skills this season whilst Antwon had all that drama in the press, i don't really know the details of care but i think One Tree Hill dealt with it well, but i do feel a bit sorry for Mouth as he is a bit on his own now.
This episode was so sad agin, i mean it is good to have a different storyline once in a while but i ussually watch thei show fo a bit of fun. Sorry hardcore fans but it is true.
I love the new relationship between Brooke and her mother, that is the thing that apart from Lucas and Nathan no one really had a family majorly in the picture and they certainly didn't in the last couple of seasons but is is good to see it. It is also kind of sad though as its kind of at the expensse of Brooke and Juilians relationship and i love them together and i am getting a bit bored of the whole them having problems.
Another random thought but why are the sponsorship messages before and advert advert breaks in this programme so annoying?
I cannot beileve the James sisters all got the pretty gene in the family, it is quite annoying. These girla are all amazing actresses as well which makes me kind of hate them even more if i didn't love them. I am a bit annoyed that none of them have really done anything outside of this show though, i would have loved to see them in something else properly.
I am really amazed by what they have put Jamie through on this show, i feel really sorry for him, if there isn't some phsyco out to kill him then his family and friends are all dying or leaving. Seems a little too much to me, leave the kid be!
OMG i laughed so hard when Brooke punched Alex in the face, it was so funny.
Out of all the people on this show i have to say that i think Bethany is the best actress ever, i was in tears after her break down in this episode.
OMG scary droppleganger! that whole storyline is going to be amazing, if a bit sad for Quinn.
OMG Mouth and Lauren, though kinda awkward when Skills walks i am intyerested to see what will happen there!
Yay it is good to see Brooke and Juilian back where they are supposed to be.
Ooooo sneaky Sara wannabe!
I will post pictures and things later on hopefully
Okay so i have watched this weeks Vampire Diaries, One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl and i will be blogging about them hopefully today and tomorrow so stay in tune for that, sorry for the delay, i have had a mass of coursework hanging over my head forgive me.
Thanks guys
Jemzxxx
P.s there is not much original artwork in these as i have not finished any of them yet, i will post them as i finish them.
Okay so i just watched last nights episode and i loved it.
It is about time that Kate and Ryan got outted, i mean they were never going to get married if they couldn't tell anyone. i mean the actual wedding and invites might have tipped people off.
you just know Lux was going to get caught out in her lie I'm just glad they did it in the way they did. it was so much better than what i was expecting. A little disappointed that we didn't get to see Bug in this episode, he was growing on me.
i know this was a really short one but there is so much going on this week, i have run out of time.
okay so i finally caught up with Gossip girl last night and i am kicking myself for putting it off- it was such an awesome episode.
First of all we had fake cat fights! (need i say more) High end fashion and big revelations.
Revelation 1: Juliet is up to something sneaky (now i know we kind of knew this already but hot guy in prison jumpsuit, you just know things are going to get bad.)
Revelation 2: Nate has grown some balls! Now i know that this is not such a big thing but it was good to see him ignore one of Serena's come hither looks.
Revelation 3: well this is not really a revelation for all you long term fans but it was fun to see Rufus's face when he found out about Chuck and Jenny from the first season. Now do you think that Lily's permanently had Rufus's balls or do you think he might escape.
Revelation 4: Biggest of all - it is not Dan's baby. well we all kind of knew this but it was nice to have it confirmed.
Okay so revelations out of the way- what the hell else happened in this episode? Oh yes, Blair and Serena started at Columbia and both (after some hassle) got into the exclusive club. Nate chose Juliet over Serena yet again and gave back the black book. Chuck turned up in New York and introduced Eva to his 'family'. Dan and Vanessa moved in together. so yeah quite a lot happened but i think it is only going to get better once Jenny is back on the scene. There have been pictures of Taylor filming on set and i am interested to see what will happen with her seeing as Blair vowed to kill her if she ever set foot in Manhattan again. anyway there have been pictures and i am so excited.
Now I think it is such a shame that it took 3 seasons and a cancellation before this show finally made it over to the UK. I have seen this show nearly 5 times and I still love it! If you have not gotten into it yet I would greatly recommend you check it out, E4 at 8 am or 12.10pm every day. This is a little homemade video I found on YouTube and I thought it really captured the show so please check it out. Credit where credit is due.
I thought now was the perfect time to write this post as they showed my favourite episode very early this morning at about 2am, why the weird time? Well as the voice over guy said beforehand, this is not suitable for daytime viewing. The episode is called A Trip to the Dentist and if you have seen it before, you will understand why they couldn’t show it at 8am.
Let me give you a little recap/ Introduction as to what this show is all about:
This is a series based around a girl called; yes you guessed it, Veronica Mars, her friend and family, dead, alive or missing. Veronica goes to a normal, if abnormally diverse high school in Neptune. She is one of the poorer students who used to get to hang out with the popular kids until her best friend was murdered and Veronica’s dad (the sheriff) tried to pin the murder on Lily’s (the best friend) family. Unfortunately he was the only one who thought this was the case and so he was thrown out of office to become a private detective. Veronica was shunned by her former friends and boyfriend and became a bit of a loner. Veronica takes after her dad and is quite a detective herself so in between solving other classmate’s problems she is also trying to track down Lily’s killer, believing the man incarcerated for the crime innocent.
Now it is not just the plotline which makes this show great, the characters are all well rounded and seem genuine, the banter is excellent and the sparks actually fly every time Veronica (Kristen Bell) and Logan (Jason Dohring) are on screen together.
And the soundtrack is pretty awesome as well:
So then best clips? Well there are so many, but here are a few of my favourites:
Now we knew Kirsten was talented but this was just excellent:
Now this is the scene which makes me love tthis episode so much, they are both amazing actors and i really want to see Duncan (Teddy Dunn) in something as excellent as this again:
I love this scene because it just shows how veronica and Logan are meant to be together even when they are not: “its the sweater isn’t it?” lol
I love this clip, the first kiss is always the best:
And some cool quotes:
Fire Chief: [about Veronica] Well, if it isn't Smokey the Barely Legal.
Veronica: You know what they say about Veronica Mars: she's a marshmallow.
Ms. Dent: Can I help you with something?
Veronica: Uh, yeah. The counselor stuck me in here. [Ms. Dent walks over to take informational papers from her] She says I'm disconnected and passionless.
Caitlin: Ms. Dent?
Ms. Dent: Caitlin?
Caitlin: I'm gonna go down to the gym to talk to people for the student poll.
Ms. Dent: Be back by the end of the period. And remember that we're a multicultural school with a diverse population of students from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds.
Caitlin: Meaning?
Ms. Dent: Meaning don't just interview your friends.
(Yes this is the bit with Paris Hilton in oh dear in indeed)
Keith: Have you been playing nice with the other children?
Veronica: You know Dad, I'm old school, an eye for an eye.
Keith: I think that's actually Old Testament.
[Veronica arrives home from a date.]
Veronica: So, what did you think of him?
Keith: Oh, hey, you're home early.
Veronica: Oh, hey, did you run his license plate or did you get fingerprints?
Keith: I'm sorry, honey, what?
Veronica: You know you're not fooling me.
Keith: Okay. Veronica, I have no idea what you're talking about. [Veronica scoffs and starts to go to her room] Oh, hey, I forgot to tell you. If he's gonna be kissing my daughter on my porch for eight-and-a-half minutes, I'll need to meet him. Sweet dreams, honey.
Veronica: Is that really necessary?
Keith: He's taking up a lot of daddy/daughter time.
Veronica: [to Troy] Dude, where's your car?
Clemmons: Mr. Echolls, I was wondering if I could have a word?
Logan: "Anthropomorphic." All yours, big guy.
Clemmons: Oh. [fake laugh] Your father has generously offered to donate a pair of boots for our school fundraising auction.
Logan: Not the ones made for walking? God, I love those boots.
Weevil: Sometimes the girls get put off by this old motorcycle jacket thing. Do you think something in suede might make me seem more... accessible?
Veronica: [in jail] Know any good lawyers?
Cliff: Very cute. I know an adequate one that just posted your $500 bail.
Veronica: They take Diner's Club here?
Lamb: [reading off of a $50 bill] Veronica Mars is... smarter than me.
Veronica: [slaps Lamb playfully] Oh, you stop it!
Jake: You are having sex with my daughter?
Weevil: Not right now.
Duncan: So, anyone read the paper today? Garfield - I mean, will he ever learn? Oh yeah, and there was this other thing: I guess Abel Koontz didn't kill Lilly. Let's open the floor for discussion on that one.
So yeah they were pretty awesome but what has become of them now?
Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell): she has been quite successful since then but I still think she was best in Gracie’s choice. She was also pretty awesome in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I am particularly looking forward to seeing her in Burlesque. Another of my favourites is hearing her every week on Gossip Girl.
Logan (Jason Dohring): he has been nowhere near as successful and i don’t understand why, i always loved him in VM but unfortunately all he seems to have done is a few guest appearances in bad TV shows. He has been in Moonlight another TV show for quite a few episodes but unfortunately it is not airing anywhere near me so I can’t comment.
Wallace (Percy Daggs III): He hasn’t been in anything interesting either it is quite a disappointment to me as i loved him but he seems hard to come by nowadays.
Weevil (Francis Capra):he has had many different walk on TV roles which he was really good in but nothing major, there have been a few TV movies but nothing that I HAVE to go and see.
Keith (Enrico Colantoni): Now he has been quite successful, i have seen him in quite a few TV programmes and he has a new film lined up for release early next year
Duncan (Teddy Dunn): He has been in a few films and TV shows nothing terribly exciting but i do still want to have a look at Jumper his 2008 film but i haven’t had the time. Is it any good?
Lily (Amanda Seyfried): now she has been very successful since VM, landing the lead in the smash hit Mamma Mia but that is not all she has had a long standing role in the TV hit Big Love and a few other blockbuster movies, pretty good ones as well.
okay so this is a little round up of the TV i am going to be watching this week, these are just the evening shows, there is too much daytime TV to include, so if that is what you are interested in i would suggest you check out my other post. Anyway here goes for this weeks TV:
Sunday
This is a catch up day, like i said before i do all the ironing on a Sunday and use this as an excuse for all the daytime TV i record. Also Life Unexpected is on E4 at 7, Lux is suspended and Cate and Ryans Relationship gets steamy. Check out a little snippet here:Link
Monday
Spooks is 9pm on BBC one, now if you do not live in the UK then you may well be missing out on this one but i will try to find out when it is showing in other areas and post that later on because this is pretty amazing.
One Tree Hill is on 10pm on E4+1 or just E4 at 9pm if you like, this weeks episode looks amazing you can check out a clip here: Link
Tuesday
Tuesday is of course Vampire Diaries on IVT2 at 9pm and looks great. i have seen some clips and it looks great, please check it out otherwise you are likely to get annoyed at me later on when this show is all i talk about.
Wednesday
Gossip Girl is on at 8pm on ITV2 and looks great this week, so i will definitely be there will you?
Dark Blue is on at 10pm on Five USA, i have really gotten into this show and and am really looking forward to more episodes.
Thursday

Human Target is on Fiver at 10pm and although i have only seen the first episode i am completely hooked.
Friday
The mentalist has a new season on on Five this week and i am so excited. definitely check it out.
Okay so that was a quick round up, i will try to post reveiws and things after each showing but i am very busy at the moment so please bear with me.
Jemzxxx
Okay so i know i started a bit behind everyone else by just a couple of seasons but i am now watching it for like the 5th time. I am so grateful to E4 for keeping this show in constant loop. I think you can now see it twice a day everyday Monday through Friday and if that isn’t enough for you, there is always E4+1. Thank god, i love this show and i rush home everyday just catch up with those girls. Now if you don’t have a clue what i am talking about you are missing out and should probably stop reading here, i feel some spoilers coming along!
Okay so the basis of this show is a mother and daughter duo who are scarily alike and talk amazingly fast even forst thing in the morning, this is probably due to the excess of coffee they drink everyday. The sugar overload of eating doughnuts and other such foods everyday must also help (i wish i could do that!) We then follow them through their day to day lives in their tiny little village with some very quirky characters. Then there is the fact they both seem to have careers or careers ahead of them, with Rory (the daughter) attending a posh prep school through the funding of the grandparents, who are not exactly on good terms with their daughter who got pregnant with Rory at the age of sixteen and then ran away. Okay so then through the seven seasons we watch as they meet new wierd and wonderful people and in some cases end up in a relationship with them.
So here are a few clips which i love,
Okay so this is Lane’s (rorys best friend) band trying to choose a band name, i find every scene with this band hilarious mainly because they are all funny in their own right. I also love Lane for being such a rebel, forming a band when she knows her mum will disapprove.
I love this clip because i think that this is just so romantic and totally suits Lane and Zach’s personalities.
This clip is of Rory and Logan, their first real moments of getting together. It is totally unlike Rory but it kind of suits her, nobody is as good as she was before she met Logan.
Again because of my deep love of Logan and Rory’s relationship, of course i love this clip.
Out of all the walk on characters i think i love Finn and Colin the most, and here is one of the best scenes with them in.
Below is another amazing clip of the three lads;
This is a hilarious conversation between Rory and Logan at her 21st birthday.
This is a clip i love with Chris and Lorelai, now i don’t think i have ever really liked Chris but in this one, they do look realy good together.
This is an adorable moment between Luke and Lorelai but at the same time is a hilarious.
Now all im going to say is i wish my mum was as cool as this:
Okay so these are just a few of the awesome moments dotted all the way through seven seasons.
So that is what they did then, but where are they now?
Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel)- okay so she was amazing in Gilmore girls but i haven’t seen her as good as this in anything since, yes i did see post grad and i saw both the travelling pants movie and they were okay but were no where near as good as they should have been. She isn’t lined up to do anything in the next year or so, so i don’t know what she is doing but hopefully she is just bding her time till she gets a great script.
Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham)- Okay so i know she was really good as lorelai but you would have thought she would have gone for a slightly different role but apparently not, she is now staring in a comedy family drama as the mother of a teenage daughter, single. I have not seen this series but i am thinking that it will be really good so i am not worried.
Lane Kim (Keiko Agena)- Since Gilmore girls she has had a few appearances in TV shows but is now in the process of filming Transformers 3- i know not really my type of thing but i might just watch it for her.
Luke Danes (Scott Patterson)- Okay so he has been in a lot of different TV shows and Films most notable (to me atleast) as Liam’s no hoper of a dad in 90210 but he is also about to appear in some rather looked forward to films and is also strring in a new TV show “the event” which i am quite looking forward to. #
Sookie st. James (Melissa McCarthy)- She has been in many different films and shows since Gilmore Girls and seems to have done pretty well in all of them, you should definitely check them out.
Paris Geller (Liza Weil)- She has had many cameo appearances on lots of different drama series but nothing of note as yet, i am i little worried that her best performance has been and gone as Paris- Come on Liza prove me wrong please.
Dean Forester (Jared Padalecki)- Okay so he has had a particularly good career ofd the back of Gilmore girls having been one of the faces of Supernatural- Obviously the WB could not bare to part with him. Now i am not a fan of supernatural having never really got into it but maybe this will lead him back into something i will watch.
Logan Huntzbuger (Matt czuchy)- now i loved him in Gilmore Girls and thgink they should have definitely gotten married butalas no. So since GG he has had a steady stream of small movie roles but has now landed quite a big role in TV’s The good wife, i have been wanting to see this but have kept missing it, hopefully i will catch up soon and be able to tell you more about it.
Jess Mariano (Milo Ventimiglia)- okay so he has popped inand out of GG for most of the seasons, but what has he been doing since? Well he had quite a successful run on Hereos but that was canceslled earlier this year, So he seems to have few films lined up but none of them sound very promising for him but maybe he will find a way.
But these are not all over the years which Gilmore Girls captivated our screens there were also appearances from names such as, Scott Cohen (Max), Chad Michael Murray (Tristan), Adam Brody (Dave) and many more.
Here are a few pieces of art work i created in awe of Gilmore Girls and a few other rather cool pictures:
Okay so I have watched the episode from last night and OMG it was so good. I cannot believe they managed to get any better than last season but they did it. So here are a few thoughts:
1)Nina was amazing, it must be quite confusing to be two characters which look the same and one is trying to act like the other half the time. But she did an amazing job. Here I would just like to say that things are going to get very interesting now with Catherine running around killing people of and ripping the others hearts out. Love it!
2)Damon and Stefan- now I loved these both in the last season but they have both got ten times better especially Stefan who seemed to be relying on his looks a little too much for my likes but now he is actually acting and I love him. Then there is Damon, in this episode I think his character grew more than I would have ever expected him to do. I loved him particularly at the start of this episode where he was being a bit sarcastic and funny. His performance at the end of this episode was amazing as well; I really felt for him when he was talking to Catherine near the end of the episode and again when he was killing off Jeremy. Overall they both gave the most amazing performance I have seen from them and I love them for it, they made this episode.
3)Music okay so is it just me or has the music gotten ten times better in this episode, I loved every single piece of music and they all fit the scenes really well. I especially liked the bit with Tyler and his uncle that was just amazing.

4)Tyler, okay so I was a bit unsure about this whole werewolf thing in the beginning especially when I saw that there was witches wandering around as well, but now I think that this could get very interesting, this actor has also got a hell of a lot better and for that I am very grateful, because at the start of the first season he was so bad in nearly all his scenes that I almost had to fast-forward.
5)Jeremy, so I have really liked this character quite a lot and he seemed to be a bit of a wild ball, you never quite knew what he was going to do but now he is even better because he is a vampire! Yay! We all knew that this was going to happen at the end of last season but it is good to see it finally happen and I love that it was Damon who did it in the end because that adds a bit of a twist to things, after someone has killed you, you have to have some kind of a bond, so that is going to be interesting. But he is not the only newly born vampire who is going to be knocking around, Caroline was killed off at the end of this episode with Damon’s blood in her system so that should be interesting, maybe Matt won’t be so far in the dark anymore. (I feel kind of bad for him) What about her mother as well, that will be interesting.
6)And to the main and final thing I think that although I have already talked about Nina, I need to talk a little bit about Catherine specifically, her relationship to everyone else in this story is amazing, she alone is going to make things very interesting, I cannot believe that the first thing she tried to do though was to talk to Damon and to try and kill off John Gilbert. She is going to twist everything around and just generally make life so much more interesting. Mostly with Damon, now that she has told him he was never the one she was interested in, she has set him into a tailspin and I’m thinking that Elena is the only one who can save him- that should make for an interesting time.
Best quotes
Damon: (referring to using his blood to help heal Caroline) If I do this, you and me, call a truce? Bonnie: No. But you'll do it anyway...for Elena.
Katherine: You want to know why I'm here, Stefan? I came back for you. Stefan: The problem, Katherine, is that I hate you. Katherine: (picks up a candelabrum nearby and stabs Stefan in the stomach) You hate me, huh? That sounds like the beginning of a love story, Stefan, not the end of one.
Caroline: Elena? Katherine: Hi, Caroline. Caroline: What are you doing here? Katherine: My name is Katherine. I was hoping you could give the Salvatore brothers a message for me. Caroline: What are you talking about? What message? Katherine: Game on.
Stefan: It's Katherine. She got under his skin. She undid everything that was good about him. Elena: There is nothing good about him. Stefan, not anymore. He's decide what he wants. He doesn't want to feel, he wants to be hated, it's just easier that way. He got his wish. I hate him, Stefan.
Elena: Katherine was in this house; that means that she's been invited in. What are we gonna do? Damon: Move.
All in all it was an amazing start to the season and has left me wanting more.
