The Vampire Diaries: The Rager Recap/Review


The Vampire Diaries has been going so strong this season; it's one of my favorite shows this season and I'm always looking forward to a new episode each week. 'The Rager' brought it like the other episodes thus far. This episode begins at the hospital in Tyler's room (cause remember he got shot.) The Mystic Falls hospital must have the worst security ever because Connor gets past the security without much effort. He then pins Tyler down and gets some werewolf venom out of him. I think that Connor needs to chill and get a nicer hobby. Moving to Damon and Stefan, Damon tells Stefan that he's going to leave as Elena chose Stefan, but first Damon wants to kill Connor, fair enough. Over at Mystic Falls High, Elena has turned Matt into her own personal blood dispenser but he doesn't seem to mind (I really like Elena's outfit here.) Then Matt and Elena see a flyer that informs them of a mandatory curfew for all ages in light of the shooting; this kind of reminds me of 'Scream'. When Tyler gets out of the hospital, he finds out that Klaus has gathered a hybrid army to protect Tyler because Klaus doesn't want his hybrids dying. Back at school, Elena is feeling sad about being back in Alaric's history class without Alaric and then Rebekah enters to invite everyone to her anti-curfew party. Although it's not all fun cause Rebekah starts to brag to Elena about how she killed Alaric. Elena loses it and throws her pencil at Rebekah but Rebekah catches it and hits Elena back. Elena has gotten another pretty outfit all blood, what a drag. When Elena goes to clean up, some chick named Heather follows her into the bathroom. But Heather has blood dripping down the side of her neck, courtesy of Rebekah. What's your damage, Heather? Don't you know how Elena feels about blood? Rebekah decides that it's a good idea to rub Heather's blood over Elena's face because Connor has showed up at school. Woops. This wouldn't be the first time Elena has had to clean blood off her face while a vampire hunter waits outside.

Pretty Little Liars: This is a Dark Ride (Halloween Special) Recap/Review


I love Halloween so much and I think one of the reasons that I love Halloween is because of the special Halloween episodes of our favorite TV shows. So of course I loved Pretty Little Liars' second Halloween special. I think that it's awesome how ABC Family does a special one off episode just for Halloween. Now all we need is a special Christmastime episode. But back to Halloween, 'This is a Dark Ride' starts at the Radley Sanitarium with Mona singing 'If You Go Down in the Woods Today' while preparing her Halloween tricks for the Liars with another member of the 'A' Team. This scene is uber creepy because of Mona's song and I'm not sure if Mona is talking to Toby or if this is a third member of the 'A' Team. I love how excited Mona is about Halloween, I am Mona. On the sane side of town, Spencer, Hanna, Emily and Aria are discussing who they're gonna be for Halloween when they stumble upon a house owned by someone named Clifford that has a (cardboard) coffin outside with the name 'Alison DiLaurentis' written on it. Emily is having none of it so she marches up to give Clifford a piece of her mind. But, Clifford pops out of the coffin and scares Emily before she gets too close. God, Clifford! Cut to the opening credits, I love how they re-used the Halloween credits from last year!

Gossip Girl: Dirty Rotten Scandals Recap/Review


I don't know if I'm enjoying Gossip Girl so much because it's a fun season or if it's because I'm watching it after I watch 9O21O. Whatever it is, the fact remains that I'm loving this season and to me it seems like it gets better with every episode. 'Dirty Rotten Scandals' definitely build on last week's episode, my only problem is that I feel like everything in this season should have happened during season 3 or 4 but we're here now so let's get on with it. This episode was all about Blair's first Waldorf Designs fashion show and rightfully so, we start off at the Waldorf Designs offices with Blair prepping for the show. But Blair's show is already falling apart as she needs an 'it girl' to star, I wonder who she could ask, hmmm... While Blair is planning, Serena (hmm...) is having family breakfast with Steven and Sage. Might I just say that Serena is way too young to have a bitchy step daughter, Sage needs to chill. Due to Sage's never ending bitch parade, Steven thinks that he and Serena should take a break, already! Although, Serena tells Steven that she'll mentor Sage and they can be besties forever. Good luck with that. At the Empire, Dan has been having sleepovers with Nate because Dan has had enough of waking up to Georgina staring at him. Also, Dan's new article is just about to launch on The Spectator website. We then catch up with Ivy and Rufus who are planning to tell Dan about their relationship, apparently Jenny already knows and has given her blessing, she would. But then Dan's article hits the web and it's all about Ivy and Rufus getting down and dirty. I guess there's no need to tell Dan after all. Back at Waldorf Designs, Jean-Pierre has the inspired idea of having Serena walk in the fashion show. What? Who would ever of thought? Speaking of Miss Popular, Serena has a talk with Sage as she walks her to school when Blair calls to ask Serena to star in the show. For some reason Serena is giving Blair all kinds of attitude, I'm Team Blair because she didn't do nothing wrong. During this call Sage gets in a cab and drives off, leaving her new family A.K.A. Serena, in the dust. Then there's this really fun scene in which Blair gets really stressed out and faints cause her mother is always watching. Blair being stressed reminded me of myself, I understand how she feels.


9O21O: It's All Fun and Games Recap/Reveiw


This show. Really, I just can't with it any longer. I'm just so disinterested that it's not even funny. 'It's All Fun and Games' is probably the most dull thing I've seen in a long time. The episode starts at Silver's insemination shower that Annie, Adrianna and Naomi are throwing. The banner says it all. I didn't even realize what was going on with this banner until I uploaded the photo. This is how the 9O21O writers get creative. Anyway, Silver is having cold feet about get inseminated so Adrianna plans to have some irresponsible fun with Silver for the next 24 hours. Also, I forgot that Adrianna had a baby cause they never mention it. Then, ding-dong, Naomi's stripper arrives. What is Naomi's obsession with strippers? She is a married lady now, calm down. At the rehab center, Dixon is still trying to get back on his feet with the help of Riley. It's here that Annie finds out that Riley is supposed to be a "hero" from Afghanistan. But, this turns out to be untrue later in the episode when Riley confesses that he wasn't actually a hero and it's his fault that he's in a wheelchair. I thought I would wrap that up now cause it was a waste of time in the episode and it would be a waste for me to write the whole story here. Although Riley seems to be helping Dixon, Annie can't see this and starts being rude again. Meanwhile, Liam is starring in a new video game that Alec is helping to make. L.A. is a big place, what are the odds that Liam and Alec would be working together? Seriously, what are they? Naomi then pops by to give Alec some cupcakes and try to make him be her friend. At Dixon's apartment, Liam comes by to visit Dixon but he's also there to ask Annie about a good lawyer who can help him out of his contract with Vanessa. Then at the bar, a detective is waiting to ask Liam questions about Vanessa who is now a missing person. Liam totes lies and tells the detective that he hasn't seen no crazy stalkers in months.

The Vampire Diaries: Memorial Recap/Review


Before we start this recap, can we have a round of applause for such an intense, heartfelt, beautiful, amazing, suspenseful episode of this brilliant show named The Vampire Diaries? Seriously, 'Memorial' was such a great episode, it had everything that I could wish for from this show. The episode started with cross-cutting between Elena's first animal feed and a conversation between Damon and Stefan, in which Damon says that Elena should feed on a human before an animal. Of course Elena has already fed on that guard dude from last episode but that didn't count because that was part of her transition. However, Elena and Stefan decide to have sexy time in the woods, sorta like Caroline and Klaus/Tyler in the previous episode. But when Elena does take her first feed, she ends up throwing up the blood, which isn't good and kinda gross. I really like Elena's storyline because it feels like we're going through the whole adjustment process with her.

Gossip Girl: High Infidelity Recap/Review


This episode of Gossip Girl was so enjoyable, I seriously can't believe how much I actually enjoyed. There was something about 'High Infidelity' that made it more fun than any other Gossip Girl episode that I've seen in a while. Here's your wake up call: The episode started with Nate waking up next to Sage, Serena waking up next to Steven, Dan waking up to Georgina staring at him (which was really funny) and Blair waking up while fretting about an article that will be written about her upcoming fashion line. Meanwhile, Chuck and Amira plan to crash the family brunch with Lily and Bart so they can try to reveal Bart's big secret. In addition to Blair fretting about the article, Serena is fretting about her first grown-up party. Speaking of Blair, Dorota has been designing Blair's new fashion office while she has been away. I really like Blair's new offices, Blair has needed a place like this for seasons. We then find out that Simon and Schuster has dropped Dan and he has to figure out some other way to publish Inside: Part II. There's a really funny response from Georgina in this scene when she says "please say raw and hard again", I ship Deorgina or Gan so hard. At the brunch, Bart warns Amira about crossing him, while doing so he alludes to the fact that the had an affair. Not a wise move Bart as Lily overhears. Bart is so frustrating, Lily needs to dumb his ass again. Then back at Waldorf Designs we find out that Blair doesn't have any workers yet so she has Kati play the part of a crazed fan and Jessica pretends to be a seamstress. All seems to be going well until Nelly Yuki arrives, it seems that Nelly is the journalist that will be writing Blair's article, I love this, it's such a nice twist. Also, Nelly Yuki is looking so fierce since the last time we saw her.




9O21O: The Sea Change Recap/Review


9O21O is just ridiculous, I can't believe that I watch this show every week like what even happened in this week's episode 'The Sea Change'? I feel like they're trying to make this show be taken seriously but it just turns out like a joke. Anyway, this episode started with the newlyweds, Naomi and Max, getting ready to set off on their honeymoon to Ibiza. That is until Max's weird business partner, Alec, waltzes in with a stack of gossip magazines that all have comments from Max's ex-fiance, Madison. Apparently Madison is a cosmetic heiress (did we know this?) and she's so mad about Max leaving her at the alter that she's speaking to any tabloid that will listen. Why do the magazines even care about this or Madison? I for one think that Alec set this up but we don't have conformation on that. Cut to Liam's bar (or what's left of it), Adrianna and Navid are helping Liam clean up the wreckage that is his bar and Liam and Adrianna are helping Navid clean up the wreckage that is his life. Then Adrianna's Vegas baggage (Taylor) shows up and gives Adrianna his number and she looks kind of happy about it. Meanwhile, Annie is helping Dixon move back into the apartment. This boy suffered a major car accident and he has no scratches on him, just a neck brace. Really? Seriously? Adrianna then comes in and basically spills the beans on her Vegas hook up when Dixon asks about the new club/bar consultant and she says "we didn't talk much or do anything else," um, okay Adrianna. At the hospital, Silver is getting a check up and to thank Teddy for having a bastard child with her, she gives him (what I'm guessing is) a porno. Back at the bar, Vanessa tells Liam that she had hidden cameras installed and she saw what went down with the fire. Translation = Liam is Vanessa's bitch. Vanessa is starting to scare me and not in a fun way.
