1. The Vampire Diaries Leads Teen Choice Award Nominations

   5/19/2012 4:54 AM
   
   Can somebody tell me why Kat Graham was nominated over Candice Acolla for the Vampre Diaries!? Shes the best female on that show and never gets any recognition! So unfair

2. True Blood Spoilers: Is Tara Alive?

   5/7/2012 12:26 PM
   
   i absolutely despite Tara BUT her becoming a vampire could be the best thing to happen to her character. She's whiny and annoying as a human maybe her vampire persona will be a lot more likable? The actress is great the character just sucks so hopefully something good can come of this.
   
   Think about Caroline from the vampire diaries (for those of you who watch) when she was a human she was pretty unlikable (although nowhere near Tara's level) but as a vampire she has become the absolute BEST character on that show. Let's hope the same thing happens with Tara!

3. Girls Review: Unintended Audience

   5/6/2012 11:14 PM
   
   LOVED this episode. For me it was the best one since the pilot. Just wish there was more Marnie (she only had like 2 scenes) but this show hasn't figured out how to give all 4 girls a storyline in every episode, 1 usually gets short changed in each episode (last week Shoshanna had one scene). I agree the Jessa stoyline is boring but its going to pick up because she is def going to sleep with that dad! Hannahs speech to Adam was awesome and the actress did a phenomenal job there I really believed it.
   
   The ending scene with the diary was epic although I knew it was coming. I assumed that was what the friend had read and thats why he didnt want Adam to see it. I get that Marnie is upset but its not like Hannah said anything bad in her journal that she didnt say to Marnie's face already! How about being mad at your boyfriend for rummaging through your roommates stuff?!
   
   Overall a solid episode. 8/10 for me.

4. The Vampire Diaries Review: A Case of Klaustrophobia

   REPLY TO: Ashutosh
   
   As far as Alaric goes, Esther explained in the last episode she was going to make him immortal and as strong as an Original vampire. He is basically Mikael 2.0
   
   And for Caroline, I kind of agree, why do ANY of these characters drive anywhere? It's so much quicker to just run! Maybe it's tiring? Or just old habit of using your car? Don't really have an answer for that one.
   
   Btw does it annoy anyone else that Rebekka didnt even try to help Caroline or bother telling anyone about it? Caroline saved her from Alaric, why the hell couldnt she return the favor?

   BTW I love how everyone on this board always just ignores "Bored Now." LOL, thank god. Lets continue that

6. The Vampire Diaries Review: A Case of Klaustrophobia

   5/3/2012 10:55 PM
   
   The BEST episode this entire season by far. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Whats funny is if this was in Season 2 it would have been just a typical episode, but in a pretty lackluster season this was amazing! Every character played a pivotal role and there were so many epic scenes :)
   
   Cant wait for next week!

7. Glee Review: When Good Shows Go Bad

   5/1/2012 10:33 PM
   
   I totally agree with you Matt! Once again a solid and honest review. I dont understand why this show still gets nominated at award shows all the time? Sure the songs are fun and there are some great one-liners but its overall an awful show...
   
   The storyline with Coach Beastie was a JOKE. Why are you wasting our time with that? Sure its a big issue but like you said, we haven't seen Beastie in weeks and I am so sick of Glee being a PSA, I am watching it for entertainment I got enough of that stuff in high school health class!
   
   Thankfully the storyline with Kurt and Rachel was awesome. I was literally shocked to see Rachel choke at her audition although I shouldve seen it coming there was so much foreshadowing this episode that she was going to mess up. Super happy for Kurt though. Very interested to see where Murphy and Co are planning to go next season with all of these graduating students!

8. The Vampire Diaries Review: Raging Against Death

   4/27/2012 8:32 AM
   
   What I enjoyed about this episode was that it managed to handle multiple storylines at once and all of them were given ample screen time:
   
   -Elena and Stefan (their scenes were maybe boring for some but as a Stelena fan I found them very sweet and the chemistry was great)
   -Alaric and Esther (Loved having them team up, I dont enjoy Esther too much but Matt Davis is phenomenal)
   -Caroline and Tyler (I loved to see the 2 of them bickering again, they are the most realistic couple on the show. They dont talk to each other in epic poem-like lines, they sound like real high schoolers)
   -Jeremy/Alaric/Elena (They were such a cute family this season I was so sad to see it end)
   -Alaric and Damon (Best bromance ever. Felt so sorry for Damon when he thought Alaric died. Maybe Jeremy and Matt will become the next bromance on this show?)
   
   The only thing that felt forced was Bonnie and Jamie but to be honest who the hell cares they should just kill Bonnie off or make her the ultimate villain in season 4, either way she is useless compared to the other characters.

9. The Secret Circle Review: A Blackwell Revealed

   4/21/2012 1:13 PM
   
   Totally caught me off guard! I figured it out towards the end when Cassie couldn't get into the mine, we already knew Melissa could, and Faye being the sister was just TOO obvious. But it was still an amazing twist because I was certain it was either Melissa or Faye! What a good idea, this brings so much more potential to the show because Diana's "father" Charles is still alive so thats great drama there too.
   
   For once we got a GOOD episode! Each of the characters played an important role (Melissa had so much screen time I loved it) and the story progressed! For the first time in months I am actually hoping for a season 2 now.

10. Homeland Spoilers: A Friend Turns Foe

    4/18/2012 11:54 PM
    
    i LOVE this show and was obsessed with Season 1, but these spoilers confirm my fears for Season 2. Carrie not apart of the CIA anymore? This season will not be structured anymore it will be kind of all over the place. The part I liked least about Season 1 was when Carrie was working rogue and she would have to work around Saul and everyone else, now that is all we will have this season. They blew it when they didnt have Brody just detonate the bomb in the finale. Brody is a good character but the show would be better off tackling a new terrorist each season with Carrie at the forefront. :(

11. Glee Review: Two Hot Brothers

    4/11/2012 2:32 PM
    
    Please bring back MATT to write the Glee reviews. No offense but at least he was honest! 4.6/5!? Really? It's fine that you enjoyed Somebody That I Used To Kmow at the end, I did too, but the episode was terrible. It should've been focused on just Quinn and her recovery but once again Glee made the episode all about the random guest star of the week. Terrible show, terrible review.

12. The Vampire Diaries Casts Elena's Parents

    4/9/2012 12:49 PM
    
    All of you people complaining that these are not her real parents just her adoptive parents are idiots! She grew up for 16 years raised by these two. Even if they are not blood related they are her parents. When you are given up for adoption youre adoptive parents are your parents now! Are you trying to say anyone who has ever been adopted isnt being raised by their parents then? You are all acting small minded.
    
    And obviously they didn't bring back the same people from the picture in season 1. Those were probably just models, they needed to cast real actors. Who even remembers what the people in those pictures looked like?
    
    Everyone needs to stop COMPLAINING about everything on this show there are worse problems in the world jeaze....

13. The Client List Review: The Lure of Happy Endings

    4/8/2012 11:51 PM
    
    To be honest I thought it was pretty boring. I was super excited for this show but it was all too cheesy for me and the whole eroticism of it was tame. I'm not saying I was looking for a porno, but they didn't really go anywhere with it. I dont even see what she is doing is prostitution considering its just happy endings and shes SINGLE cus her husband left her, so who even cares? I dont know I'll give it another week because I love Jennifer Love Hewitt but the promos made it seem so dark and mysterious not cute and fluffy which is what they did do it.
    
    Also, good point on the clients. Why are all the people who get regular massages ugly and overweight, yet the people who want sex are the great loooking guys? Sholdnt they be able to get it on their own and not need prostitutes? That was bizarre to me, although I shouldnt complain the guys were great looking

14. The Secret Circle Review: That Old Black Magic

    3/30/2012 9:11 AM
    
    Also to the writer of this article, I hate to be nitpicky but you should proof-read your reviews before posting them, there were a ton of grammatical errors in this article!
    
    "Sorry, but the dude but doesn't have enough cred to be pulling that kind of crap."
    
    "Wasn't it was odd that he let Eben go without a chase?"
    
    "Are the other parents going come together and stop John, or help him?"
    
    Sorry its just a pet peeve of mine! :(

15. The Secret Circle Review: That Old Black Magic

    3/30/2012 9:09 AM
    
    @Spindae
    I seriously hope so. I had predicted it would be Faye but still, ruining it in a promo is just not smart. And yeah I think there is a possibility it could be Melissa, only because in last weeks episode Melissa and John Blackwell had a nice moment together when talking about the elixir or whatever, and he said he knew her mother well. I would love that because it would give Melissa (my favorite character) actually something to do!

16. Official Vampire Diaries Episode Description: "Heart of Darkness"

    3/30/2012 9:00 AM
    
    @San, I agree! I thought that last nights episode maybe would give us a bit more time with Caroline and Klaus but they still have not had a scene together since she FAKE flirted with him to distract him from Kol. And any other time he flirted with her she was guarded or yelling back at him. So I dont really know what Tyler would be pissed about other than Klaus having a crush on Caroline, which shouldnt surprise anyone sense shes AMAZING.

17. The Vampire Diaries Review: A Deadly MiStake?

    3/30/2012 8:54 AM
    
    Oh and finally, the twist about the bloodline from the originals, that was SWEET. Such a good twist, and hopefully Elijah is the one who turned Rose. That means that they won't kill Elijah ever so that they all stay alive, and they wont kill Klaus because Tyler is in his bloodline. Other than them the rest of the originals can go. I liked rebekkah but shes becoming pretty pathetic lately so its time for her to go, especially because this show hasnt killed off a major character in quite a long time, trim the fat!

18. The Vampire Diaries Review: A Deadly MiStake?

    3/30/2012 8:53 AM
    
    But I really loved any scene with Caroline in it. The writers have done a fantastic job with that character (as well as the actress). She is compassionate yet strong. Her scene with Alaric was beautiful and really worked continuity wise because no one has really brought up that Caroline killed that guy at the carnival in season 2.
    
    I also really love that Matt is the one who staked Finn! Good for you buddy you finally showed up on this show :)

19. The Vampire Diaries Review: A Deadly MiStake?

    3/30/2012 8:51 AM
    
    While I agree with a lot of your points here this review is a BIT harsh. But overall you are correct. Season 3 has been a MASSIVE disappointment in comparison to seasons 1 and 2, but to be honest this season is still way better than most TV out there, but its just not up to its usual standards.
    
    I totally agree, why do we need to kill the originals?! They are not doing anything to you anymore they just want to live in the town that they were in first. Leave them be and you will be fine! But instead every episode they find a new way to try and kill them and FAIL once again. And because the originals in turn havent really killed anyone important this entire season they have become less intimidating and more friendly than Damon at this point!

20. The Secret Circle Review: That Old Black Magic

    3/30/2012 12:48 AM
    
    Ummm for anyone who didnt watch the promo for next week but...SPOILER....They decided to spoil the huge plotpoint that Faye is in fact Cassie's sister in the preview for next week?! Why not drop that bomb during the actual episode. Who the hell made that promo and think it was OKAY to put in one of the biggest secrets all season. USELESS

22. The Vampire Diaries Clip: TVD Meets THG!

    3/27/2012 11:25 PM
    
    I don't think they are sending Elena or Matt into battle just giving them a weapon in case klaus shows up at their door they could easily surprise him with a white oak stake which he thinks is gone.

23. The Secret Circle Review: Secrets and Lies

    3/23/2012 9:37 AM
    
    And I'm still confused as to why John lied about this curse?! For once Cassie was happy and wasn't going around using her dark magic on people, Adam was helping her through it. But no, lets destroy that because if they are together they will be too in love and the circle will be in danger? What?! That made NO sense. Came out of nowhere...
    
    The ONLY good thing about this show is Faye, and they give her terrible boy-chasing storylines! Why don't these people sit around and do magic besides LOCK UNLOCK, thats all they ever do, unlock things...
    
    And please give Melissa something to do, she's the best character and after Nick died she has done nothing.
    
    Such a frustrating show, don't even believe Kevin Williamson is involved with this show because nothing about it is up to his standard.

24. The Secret Circle Review: Secrets and Lies

    3/23/2012 9:35 AM
    
    Really shocked by your review. 4.7, really?! This episode sucked. Secret Circle is notorious for bringing up great storylines and solving them in one episode. The curse of Cassie and Adam? Finished. Eva stealing Faye's magic? Finished. I feel like every episode its a whole different show. I seriously dont know why I still watch!
    
    Also when did Cassie and Adam fall in LOVE? I knew Adam was oddly drawn to her and Cassie started to grow feelings, but out of nowhere in this episode they were deeply, madly, in love?! What the hell?
    
    Once again Melissa and Diana did NOTHING but follow Faye, can they have their own storyline please?!

25. The Walking Dead Review: Who Didn't Survive?

    3/4/2012 10:16 PM
    
    I was SHOCKED that they killed Dale! I never read the graphic novels so I definitely wasn't expecting it. I have to admit it is a great move for the show though, Sophias death had no affect on me and no major characters have died this season. It needed to happen, I love when shows can shock me like that! I'll be sad to see Dale go, but I'm happy Andrea finally stood up for him in that meeting, it was a good way to end their arc because their relationship was an integral part of the show for me. Also loved the scene between Hershel and Glen. I need him and Maggie to get back together I love them!
    
    I'm PISSED at Carl. You say it's easier for you to forgive him because hes a kid, but not for me. Maybe it's because the kid is a bad actor, but anything he does makes no sense at all. He comes off like a brat the entire time. I get that he has grown up in a messed up world, but everything he does puts himself in danger. What the hell is wrong with him?
    
    RIP DALE :( Will miss you!
