• Once Upon a Time Review: True Love's Kiss (5/14/2012)

  In the second season, I wonder what would happen to the stories in the book. Yes, magic is back, but now you have familiar self aware characters stuck in very unfamiliar and unpredictable stories. It is exciting and scary at the same time.
  

• Sherlock Review: "The Hounds of Baskerville" (5/14/2012)

  The Hound of the Baskervilles has always been my least favorite Sherlock Holmes story. The ending always felt like a let down to me. I'm speaking about the original. That being said, I really enjoyed Mark Gatiss' take on the story. It was scary and clever and very well executed and in the end, even though nothing in the episode made sense, it all made sense. Even though you KNEW from reading the books there was no such things as giant mutant hounds, the acting in this episode made you believe that maybe JUST MAYBE something like that was possible. The episode kept me on the edge, so I agree, 3 stars seems a bit low, especially considering that I think it was a better episode than the one preceding it. Well, next week's episode better get 5 stars..though I'm rather sure it will (provided that the reviewer can collect all the emotions that will be shattered into a million pieces).
  

• Sherlock Review: Know When You're Beaten (5/6/2012)

  It was the 3rd or 4th time I've seen this and I sill found the dialogue and suspense brilliant as ever. I also think this episode set a stage for what will be explored throughout the continuation of the whole series (which sadly only has 3 episodes): whether Sherlock actually can connect to someone emotionally. In Scandal in Belgravia he appears to not understand emotional vulnerability to the point of cruelty (poor dear Molly Cooper), but he gets attached to a relative stranger who challenges his brain. At the same time he feels very protective of Mrs. Hudson and throws her attacher out of the window (awesome moment). The guy is an enigma, but is oh so much fun to watch. As for "And now my brain hurts" - that's a very common side affect of watching anything written by Steven Moffat.

• Dare to Dair? (5/25/2012)

  Summer = doctor who, movies, true blood, books. GG killed a few of my brain cells. Need to restore them.

• Dare to Dair? (5/24/2012)

  Dair may have died for good...but oh well, Blair's loss.   She won't ever have this guy undress her in NYC elevators again despite arguably being a much better ride both literally and figuratively than the back of the limo.  

• GGW taking over Blair Waldorf's body (5/23/2012)

  Teacakes, personally I don't think Blair is out of character. Or ever has been. I take whatever was written for her as part of her character some if which i don't like. Blair never once mentioned wanting Waldorf Designs. And moreever she demonstrated neither qualifications, drive, or ability to run a multimillion dollar company. As for her wanting Chuck, it would be fine if she didn't involve Dan and lied to him continuously for no reason despite Dan asking her point blank if she wanted to be with him or not. That was just low. Blair going after what she wants would be fine, however to me at least that became meaningless. What she wants at the start of season and the finale are often different things. So what's the point of investing in her character?
