Scribbles About TV: The Whispers Review

So I was going to do a review on Aquarius and watch this a second time... but I haven't even seen aquarius yet and I thought "well I pretty much got the whole story of The Whispers. Lets Do a blog on that!" So yeah.

I am kind of in love with this show. There's kind of an X-Files vibe to me for some reason. It reminds me of all the mythology episodes of The X Files and its just as scary... if not scarier than a lot of it. It also kind of reminds me of Medium... again don't know why... but when Medium was on I was like "OHhh. X Files" and now that this is on I'm kind of like "Ohhh X Files. Medium." I also feel like people that like Lost... but also horror movies will like this... its very creepy, very mysterious and there is a lot going on.

One thing I thought was interesting about the show was the characters... there are a lot of characters for this show! Probably more than they need, but I think the way that they handled it was very good. Sometimes when I see a ton of characters on a show I think "woah this is a red flag. This will be hard to follow and nothing will pay off." This has payed off a lot already. I thought the end was very twisty and really good. I don't want to give it away here... but there were a few twists and I was just like "Wow. I didn't really see any of those coming. That was quite excellent." So... yeah. That was pretty cool.

I'm gonna critique the acting a little bit... I didn't like the mom that was in a coma I believe at the end of the episode... It looked like she died at the very beginning but then I think they showed her in a coma later on... that was a little confusing to me. The girl that they questioned at the beginning... her mom. Not the best. I kind of didn't think I'd like her from the commercials, just she seemed really cheesy. Also a lot of the actors are child actors... and child actors aren't really that great. Especially on dramas that they don't really understand. And some of the kids were pretty good in this... but overall... not my favorite part about a show. Again these weren't like the worst child actors... but yeah.

Lilly Rabe I loved though! She's amazing. I missed her on AHS this year and I was really happy to see her in a role that was kind of like some of her roles in AHS. She reminded me a bit of Sister Mary Eunice I guess... but more motherly. Like how she thought of herself in the first season. Lol.

And overall... I'm really intrigued. I find a lot of stories predictable... this one I can honestly say I have no idea whats going on... and I like that lol. Its really cool and pretty different. I'm excited to see how it all connects.

Hope you guys check this out! Its kind of a cool show! I'd give it a B+ right now because its pretty unique.

Byeee!

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

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
