Vampire Diaries: Our Town Thoughts
Stefan is breaking my heart.  We normally hear his internal monologue, but being removed from it—it sells the potentially evil thing so well and yet dammit if Paul Wesley doesn’t play so many layers that you have no doubt he still loves Elena. Stefan’s fight with Elena—perfect.  The place of the birth of their relationship is chosen as the place of its death.  And then to...

A mini-rant on Elena Gilbert
I don’t hate Elena.  I enjoy her most of the time.  I enjoy that she cares for others and is selfless and stubborn and resilient.  I’m not a TVD fan who hates that she’s a “slut” waffling between two brothers—heck, Katherine’s one of my favorite characters and I ship her with more things than are on earth. But I do dislike Elena when she acts like such a...

"A has-been turned trophy husband who married for...
How much did I love this episode?  SO MUCH. I mean, any episode with a Dair kiss is instantly awesome.  But all of the fantasy scenes and snippets of plot and offense taken—it was all amazing.  I kind of wish it had been dragged out over more episodes, but I hope the movie helps do that, a la One Tree Hill where actors audition to be the main characters and hilarity ensues. I actually...

THE RETURN OF CHARLIE TROUT
Gossip Girl, sometimes I think I love you. Other than DAIR PERFECTION, we had SUPER!CONTINUITY with Blair’s bulimia and Charlie Trout.  (It’s always a great surprise to have this show acknowledge things earlier than the teaser.) Of course, I’m over Nate doing cougars and Monaco royalty scheming pathetically and  Ivy being part of the show.  But come on. GOD SHIPS DAIR. Not...

New Shows of 2011
So I’ve picked up three shows (semi-)seriously for the Fall 2011 season.  Perhaps more will follow; perhaps I’ll drop these, depending on how the next few episodes play out.  No promises on either side! Revenge:  My current favorite of the new season.  It’s perfectly sudsy and Amy from Everwood is spot-on with a her sickly-sweet exterior and vindictive interior.  I love watching...

ALL I WANT IS DAIR AND THE SON OF NEPTUNE. RIGHT...
Is that too much to ask??? (At least SoN will reward my patience.  Gossip Girl will just drag my heart in the dirt and then spit on it and then have Blair give birth to Chuck’s baby on it.)

DAN IS A CONTENDER. SO SAYS MY SQUEE.
I was squeeing so hard I almost passed out. I love how they actually drew Dan as a contender in this episode.  I was worried (still am) that this season would be Chuck/Blair/Prince with Dan awkwardly pining for an episode and a half before making out with Serena or Charlie or both.  But damn if his feelings aren’t real.  And Blair’s “Take me there”…straight to my...

SUPER IMPORTANT REALIZATION
Mary-Kate and Ashley movies are RIDDLED with soon-to-be stars.  Yes, yes, everyone knows that Michael Cera was in Switching Goals and Megan Fox was in Holiday in the Sun.  But I bet you didn’t know that apparently Mary-Kate’s lips—and NOT Ashley’s—are male tv star gold.  Let me break this down for you… 1.  Ethan Peck in Passport to Paris. Our dark and...

So, I am two weeks behind on Glee.  Surprisingly, this does not bother me too much (probably because I’ve moved onto DAIR from Gossip Girl).  However, I was counting on the adorable little “And that’s what you missed on GLEE!” to fill me in on what I missed.  We’re at Regionals already?  WHO THE HECK IS TOGETHER?!  I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT’S GOING ON.  (I...

St. Elmo's Fire is one of the worst movies I've...
Which makes me so incredibly sad because I was really looking forward to watching it.  Being in That Stage of Life (Post-College, Pre-Real World), I was hoping it would be a perfectly angsty, 80’s-tastic movie that captures all of the mixed emotions of, to quote Ms. Spears, being “not a girl, not yet a woman.” And instead it’s hopelessly melodramatic and contrived and...

Life is sending me a message?
Woke up this morning, newly twenty-three.  Turned on my Pandora as I am ought to do in the morning while I get ready.  On comes Lily Allen’s “22”. Lyrics: When she was 22 the future looked bright But she’s nearly 30 now and she’s out every night I see that look in her face she’s got that look in her eye She’s thinking how did I get here and...

So, about last night...
Last night my housemate and I were on a roll.  We were going to make chili and then watch Gossip Girl where, ideally, Dan and Blair would mash mouths for a super-sexy make-out mambo. Well, we ended up doing about half of each. Halfway through the chili-making, the can of beans wouldn’t open, so my housemate went to jam it open with her hand.  Cut to her screaming and me turning and blood...

DAIRING ALL OVER THE PLACE
“I only have 30 seconds left of being a good friend.”  You know, we can easily help Serena with her lack-of-hook-up time:  Blair and Dan could just consolidate in Blair’s bed. I love how Nate is now a completely unabashed whore.  First Blair, now Chuck.  Nate, let’s get you some dignity.  I’m sure they must make it in your size.  I mean, look at how nicely it’s...

Oh, Hellcats
This show is such crack. 1.  Has everyone in the main cast sung solo now except for Wanda and Alice?  And we end with a Kumbayaya moment with the whole cast? 2.  Random Fire Fighter with Strange Accent flirts with Savannah!  (But Savannah’s still in love with Dan!  YES!) 3.  Good overcoming Evil! 4.  Super-size helping of Jesus! (It’s the South?) Needless to say, I hope Hellcats...

And I was like BABY, BABY, BABY OOOOOOOOOOO!
That episode was…good?  LOL-tastic Bieber, emotional weight, character development?  Glee, you sneaky minx. LOVE 1.  BIEBER FEVER.  I love how hilarious it is that Justin Bieber is supposed to be the same age as these kids because of the CW casting.  However, it made it almost even more adorable to see the cast sing it (and freak out like fangirls about it) sincerely because, dude,...

V-DAY GLEE!
So I still haven’t watched the Superbowl ep yet (I’m sorry, I was a little too full on wings and dip to stay awake…), but DUDE, that V-Day ep just sort of delivered. LOVE Finn/Quinn/Sam.  Have I not been pimping this awesomeness since the start of this season?  IT’S A PERFECT LOVE TRIANGLE because Sam is the new Finn and now Finn is Puck and it’s soooo delicious. ...

In which I ASIAN KISS Glee
Sorry for not posting my thoughts from last week.  I actually still have not seen the episode yet (Thanksgiving + Losing My Phone Drama).  I’ll see it at some point. But let’s stay topical and get to tonight’s Glee! 1.  Pimping Quinn and Mike Chang!  YES.  It’s like Emma is IN MY BRAIN.  You go, you ginger goddess you!  (Despite my problems with the bipolar...

Glee: "The Substitute"

Glee's Teenage Dream
1.  Kurt + Harry Potter = WIN.  I loved everything about this storyline.  I mean, it was a little too obvious that the guy was beating up on Kurt because he was secretly gay.  But Kurt trying to find acceptance in general has been an amazing yet tumultuous journey, so I loved his trip to the boy’s academy.  I especially loved how caring Blaine was and willing to take Kurt under his wing.  Of...

Hellcats, WHY?!?!?!
Okay, Hellcats.  You reeled me in with your Disney stars and your One Tree Hill Classic plot and your casting of Dr. Janet Fraiser with the thickest southern accent ever.  And then you got be hooked on the couple-y cuteness and awesome dance routines. SO WHY ARE YOU RUINING THE CUTENESS?!  WHY?!?!  I think everyone knows I ship BFFs like whoa, but in this case NO.  It’s like if you watched...
