Scribbles about Television: Trueblood Penultimate Episode

This episode again was good, but also... It's already sort of wrapped up and there isn't a whole lot happening right now. It's all a bit predictable and it hasn't been bad and this was not a bad episode at all,but it's trying to wrap up. Nothing was really out of the ordinary here. 

Sooo where to begin... The part where Bill released Jessica was super moving. I thought that was the most emotional moment of the series possibly. Jessica is really the anchor for Bill to me. If it wasn't for Jessica,I would completely hate Bill and I'd be super happy that he's dying, but he's such a good maker to her and him choosing to die and releasing her and saying how proud he is of her...it's just sad. Jessica should be able to live all her lives with her maker the way Pam has with Eric because it's just that kind of relationship. It's also the only good parent-child relationship, other than Gran Stackhouse and the other Stackhouse grandparents and great grandparents really. Anyway it was moving. I also love that Pam held her because Pam was really like a second maker to Jessica. She wouldn't do that for just any vampire,but Jessica is like her own so that's nice. 

I also liked the conversation between Eric and Bill about Sookie and why Bill was choosing to die. It shows that the two vampires really do both care for Sookie. Bill wants Sookie to be free of him and other vampires which is why he is choosing to die. Eric agrees with Bill for his decision, but at the same time he knows Sookie needs a vampire. Eric will protect her and he comforts her... At least I hope this. 

I think that's what kind of made the end more exciting. Like what on earth is going to happen! The trueblood guys know that Sookie knows about the NewBlood and he captured Pam and threatened to kill her if he didn't tell him that Sookie knew... I was half expecting Eric to lie and get Pam killed, but he didn't. He said Sookie knows and now they're after her! I don't think Eric is going to let them kill her, and Bill is at her door and if he survives, as weak as he is I'm sure he'll protect Sookie... But I half expect him to be a pile of Blood when Sookie opens the door. Not sure what to think. 

Anyhoo I've already mentioned I wasn't crazy about Jessica and Hoyt getting back together. I'm still not but I'm glad she told him first and I'm glad that Jason just laid down and talked to Bridgette. It's nice to see Jason change. He's one of those annoying people that just reminds me of that stupid guy everyone dates at some point in their existence usually. This humanizes him and it's just really nice. 

I also love Arlene's storyline. It's just cute, just what she needs and I'm glad that she's really helping a Sookie trying to restart her life. It's nice after all she's been through that she's now in love with a vampire lol. 

I already kind of know what I'm expecting for the finale. In most of the trueblood finale's they wrap up the events of the season within the first half hour, usually earlier and then they show the aftermath of what happens to Bon Temps a few months after the aftermath and teases new problems to come. This will probably be no different. They will end things early and show us that everything is okay in Bon Temps and it'll probably show Holly and Andy's wedding, which I'm looking forward to seeing! 

I've been liking this season, it might not be the most exciting, but I'm glad the show is wrapping up nicely. I'm not saying I'm happy it's ending, but it's about time now. It's ending on an okay note and that's all that matters.

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
