Top 5 Friday: Favorite Fictional Characters

This probably isn't the full entire list... But there is a good number of characters here that are definitely favorites of mine. I think right now I'm just going to post about 5 since it is Top 5 Friday... But I watch a lot of tv,and I've seen a lot of movies and read a lot of books... So there will always be more. Lol. 

First I want to mention my favorite television character of all time: Gob Bluth. I love Arrested Development obviously and all of the Bluths could be mentioned in this... But Gob is totally what got me to love this show. He's just so strange and funny that he really isn't like any other character on television. He's wacky like Kramer, but not quite as smart. He's kind of dumb and a womanizer like Joey Tribianni, but he's not as dumb and he's got a lot more sadness in him. He's just funny all around and Will Arnett played him to a perfection! 

Next I have to mention my other favorite tv character: Ron Swanson. All of the Pawnee residents are amazingly hilarious, but Ron Swanson is the clear winner there! Again, there are no characters on tv that are like Ron Swanson and he's just the best on all the shows. Especially with his ex wives... He is just so funny! 

Mia Thermopolis has also always been one of my favorite characters and a character I really think has taught me a lot about life and has sort of created me as a person. I feel like my life would be a lot different and I would be a much different person if I hadn't started reading these books. Now that I'm reading them as an adult too, I'm loving noticing how strong she is and she is really just a powerful person all around. Love this book, cannot get enough! 

I also have to mention Amy Elliot Dunne...not that I would necessarily agree that she is a good person but as a character she is one of the most interesting. In general the story is just so detailed and layered but really Amy made Gone girl into the story that it is and it's awesome and probably the best book ever. Mad props to Gillian Flynn for creating such an amazing and detailed character to say the least. 

And last but certainly not least I'm going to cheat and mention 2 people because I really kind of hate one of them... But the other makes me like him. It's Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. Walter White is a very bad man and in the final season of the show, he was downright despicable but his relationship with Jesse always kind of made him human. I was very concerned with Jesse throughout the show and I knew (spoilers) that Walter would die and he had to and I was happy he did... But if Jesse had died I probably would have lost it. I kind of wonder what Jesse is up to now. I like to think that that fantasy of him doing woodworking wasn't just a fantasy and that it was an actual flash forward and now Jesse is sober and away from that life and maybe he even has a wife and son and he maybe built the sons nursery himself or something. This show is also amazing because from our first encounter with Walt and Jesse together, you kind of have to hate Jesse and feel bad for Walt. Jesse is this asshole who was failing Walt's Chemistry class, yet somehow has an amazing car with a vanity license plate and Walt has to wash it because he needs to work at a car wash just to earn a little extra money. And then at the end of the series, I hated Walt so very much and I just wanted Jesse to have the best life he possibly could. It's kind of amazing! 

So that is it for my top 5 (or 6) Friday and yeah. More of these to come! 


Byeeeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Man Crush Monday: Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon is one of my favorite talk show hosts... and I pretty much like all the late night talk show hosts... so that is saying a lot. (I haven't actually watched James Cordin yet, but I have a huge crush on him from Into The Woods, so yeah. I also have a crush on Seth Meyer though... And all the comedy central guys... ugh. Lol. and obviously Jimmy Fallon. Lol.) So yeah... this is saying a lot that he is one of my favorites. 1) He genuinely acts like he has the most fun job in the world-  Jimmy Fallon is always really excited about the show. He pretty much does have the most fun job ever, and he actually appreciates it. He was on SNL, and when he left SNL for late night he was excited and proud of his job, and now on The Tonight Show he's very happy. 2) His Ice Cream Flavors are good- This one is completely random... but I feel like having Ben and Jerry's make an ice cream flavor after you is a really big honor and a great responsibility. You can tell a lot about a...
