TV Round-Up

[krickets]

→ Grey's Anatomy: Am I the only one who feels like this show has ADD? Either that or they're so focused on misdirection that I just literally have no clue what is going to happen next. Next episode is a Private Practice crossover. My least favorite of all. Boo.

→ The Vampire Diaries: I watched it. I have a lot of feelings. Many of them involve Elijah. Some of them involve Kol and the word confusion. Is it just me or are Matt and Elena totally going to end up rekindling their childhood romance this season? I am down with that. *draws hearts around them* What? I can't help it that I'm a shameless multi-shipper. It's a thing I do!

→ Hart of Dixie: I'm kind of glad they brought up Lemon's "visit" with her mom over Christmas as a reason for her kind of manic behavior lately. She's one of my favorite parts of the show and she's been kind of getting the sour end of things lately in terms of likability and character growth. Good to know there's an explanation.

→ Switched at Birth: I finally caught up with this show. Still enjoying it a lot. Emmett is still freakin' adorable. However... if I hear John or Kathryn refer to Angelo and Regina as "that man" or "that woman" -- with the TONE to boot - one more goddamn time I might have to write a strongly worded letter. Are they serious? C'mon!

→ Jane by Design: This was recommended to me by some friends and I am really enjoying it! The plot is: High school senior mistakenly interviews for an admin assistant position in the fashion world, gets the position, and then has to try and juggle her life. Basically it's a silly premise, but with really likable actors/characters. It's very cute and as I discussed with Dayl earlier, there's actual tongue kissing! (Not important, just an observation!) Basically my overall feelings are that Jane Quimby and Billy Nutter need to hook up sooner rather than later, cause it's just inevitable isn't it? And also that Ben Quimby gives off a very Paul Rudd "vibe," which is okay by me!

→ Parenthood: I kind of feel like everything is about to come crashing down. For example: I want Amber to be happy and I feel like she is doing a great job and her romance is stinkin' adorable, even if slightly inappropriate, but I feel like that's all going to be taken from her. You could write a sentence like that about basically any other character, Crosby, Sarah (oh god, especially Sarah), Julia, etc. It all feels so precarious! I'm frightened for my beloved Bravermans!

→ Revenge: I promised a more detailed review but pretty much all I can muster is some incoherent mumbling, random guesses as to what is going to happen at that damn party, and basically just shouting Nolan's name in between bouts of hysteria. If I can gather my thoughts before Wednesday night I will present them to you. If not, this is all you get.

→ I'm behind on pretty much everything else that I can think of, Lost Girl, Suburgatory, Modern Family, Shameless, Parks and Rec, etc.

Everyone I talk to seems convinced Matt and Elena are going to pick up where they left off. That would be interesting, to see the relationship we heard about.

I am more convinced than ever that Elena will not end up with either Stefan or Damon. I also don't believe she'll ever turn into a vamp. I hope she doesn't.

Shows!

I like that Lemon's fiance (George?) finally brought up how distanced he's felt from her. She really did need to break down in front of him. I used to think that Lavonne and Lemon were true loves but I like him and Didi. He's healing. And George really does love Lemon. Once he understood, he forgave her. And she finally has someone to go to for support. What's up with her mother?

I don't understand what you mean about 'that man' or 'that woman'. I thought they were just mad because Regina and Angelo both lied in their own way. No Emmett last week! I vote every ep have Emmett on The Emmett Show.

Parenthood - I'm not caught up but I've seen seasons 1 and 2 and then just watched 3x17 and 3x18. Can only see the last five streaming but I think I've maybe seen enough. I don't get Jasmine. You either want Crosby or you don't. Can't have it both ways. Do you think the birth mother will really give up that baby? I'm actually losing sympathy for Amber. She needs to stop having romances with inappropriate people!

Emilie was on Once Upon a Time tonight! She remains awesome. :-)

ETA: We actually have three shows in common, Crickets! I'm holding my breath that I don't kill one of them by watching it. Happened with Misfits. :-/

Jane By Design - Totally the AU of Pretty in Pink. And yes, Billy and Jane should be the end game.

Vampire Diaries - Now, I really am pissed that Jeremy's gone because he and Kol canoodling, perfect.

Revenge - <3

GA - It was getting back to 2nd-season kind of awesome but the past few episodes were crap.

HoD - I love this show but I'm a little meh about the last few eps.

Sarah and Mark on Parenthood are killing me. I love those two, but they are so not going to make it and I get all sniffly just thinking about that fact. I'm digging Bob Little/Amber, but it made me a little uncomfortable when he gave her that promotion because who puts someone in that position? He had to know she wonder if it was merit based or because he wanted to sleep with her. I loved the soup moment, but I'm so afraid this is all going to come crashing in on Amber. She's doing so well! Can't they let her end one season on a high note.

At this point, I'm more invested in Private Practice than Grey's Anatomy. Maybe because I watched all of the PP episodes right around Christmas. GA just feels 'meh' to me now.

I've been watching Switched at Birth, too. I never noticed what you did, but now I will and it's probably going to drive me nuts. What drives me crazy is that Bay has knocked herself out learning sign language to talk to Daphne and Emmett, but Kathryn only knows a few signs and John doesn't seem to know any. What's up with that?! It just seems odd to me that they want to get to know Daphne, but they don't learn sign language to speak with her. Also? Is it just me or does it seem that Regina talks slower when she's signing? I don't see the same thing with Emmett and his mother. Is it because the actress who plays Regina only learned to sign when she started the show? I mean she's doing a fantastic job but it's something I notice sometimes.

This comment is going to seem pretty random. Maybe not random, but I noticed your username combined with Jane By Design and was like "Yes someone else with Jane/Billy feelings!" and that's really all I have to say about that. Because they should make out. I feel like they are doing a disservice to themselves by not making out. They're going to break other people's hearts when they do and they'll care, but not enough. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it'll go. Now I'm just talking. Anyway, hello.
