Scribbles About TV 3/6- Emotional This Is Us, How To Get Away With Murder Season Finale+ More!

Alright... so I think I'm combining some weeks here so this might be extra long... but we'll see what happens I guess?

Monday 2/20 

Jane The Virgin- This was a good episode. It gives us more insight into what Jane is like now. We can see her getting over Michael's death and stopping her therapy treatments because she thinks she is ready for that... and I think they did that in a pretty good way. It was nice to show that Jane does get anxiety and Panic attacks and what she can do to help... and how she doesn't always handle it the best.

Side note: I kind of think Jane's going to date that guy... and I don't totally trust him... I'm still team Raphael even though it looks like he's been up to some shady business.... and I love Petra. Idk why, I think even though I might seem like I'm like Jane... I'm really just like Petra. Lol.

Tuesday 2/21 

The Middle- I didn't fully pay attention to this show... I was eating dinner at the time... it wasn't bad though. I liked Axl's storyline with the Winnebago and I liked Sue's story with the guy and that he had a girlfriend and I was just yelling at Sue the whole time like "SUE! HE LIKES YOU!" lol. It was cute.


American Housewife- I don't think I really saw the whole episode of this either... maybe I did. I like Katy Mixon a lot and I love Jessic St. Clair, who played her rival in the episode... I thought that they did a great job as frenimies who were really just enemies. Also Katie was sitting on the chairs... it doesn't matter if Chloe (Jessica St. Clair) grabbed the tag... THEY'RE CHAIRS! Whoever is sitting on the chairs gets the chairs!

This is Us- I'm not gonna cry... I'm not gonna cry... OKAY I'M CRYING! I kind of knew that this was coming. I follow Jasmine Cephas Jones on Instagram and she posted about it and how she was proud of her dad, Ron Cephas Jones, who plays William on the show... and I knew that was it. And it was a very sweet episode... also one thing to note: there were no white characters on the show except for Milo Ventimiglia's character Jack... That's something I'm trying to notice when they do on TV because it is so rare to have an episode of TV on a major network without most of the cast being white, or without straight white men. Crazy Ex Girlfriend actually did 4 episodes in a row without any Straight White Men... and that was pretty unique. I didn't know that but then I saw This youtube video. That's kind of a big deal because of the lack of diversity of TV and... yeah. I won't get into that... it's just nice. It was a good thing for This is Us to do that. I'm all about Equality here!

Wednesday 2/22 

The Goldbergs- Yayyyyyyy! I watched this one on Tivo! I missed it live for the most part... but I was so happy at the end! I like that Erica finally confessed her love and she got the guy! It was really sweet!

Speechless- Wasn't paying much attention... but I think it was okay. I'm sure it's something a lot of parents can relate to- especially with Special Needs Teenagers... I think they had a group get together and Minnie Driver's character was trying to one-up the moms.

Modern Family- Kinda forget what happened... I think I mostly paid attention to Cam and Mitch's story... I don't really remember much though. Can't tell you what it was about at all... lol.

Blackish- I was tired this night and loosing interest in things apparently... this one stood out though because Andre was on a jury... and the kid in question of the crime was black and although evidence was strong that he committed the crime... nothing really proved it and it wasn't really "a jury of his peers" because Andre was the only black man on the trial... so it's just kind of a problem I'm sure happens often. I've never had jury duty... so I can't really comment on the diversity of it all... but this was an episode that stood out when I wasn't paying attention to the others.

Thursday 2/23 
Life In Pieces- Another funny episode! I love this show! It was a pretty cute episode too... the "awkward" storyline was funny and cute and the "bra" storyline had me cracking up.

How To Get Away With Murder- This was the best episode yet! I go back and forth about how I feel about this show... sometimes its too hard to follow and unrealistic... and some episodes just nail it... this episode nailed it. Viola Davis gave a great performance, the twist with Laurel was awesome! Everything just worked for this!

Monday 2/27 
Jane The Virgin- I love this show! I thought the episode was really great too... I wasn't too big of a fan of Abby or Ally or whatever Minka Kelly's name was... but I figured they would have some sort of twist with her because they wouldn't get a big name like Minka Kelly for a boring role. And I liked Jane's struggle as a writer... and as a mother! And I loved the editor... she's really good!

Tuesday 2/28 
Fresh Off The Boat- This was cute! I was going to give a full synopsis of what happened because I didn't remember but the youngest kid (Evan?) found out about Dishwashers and then Jessica got mad because Eddie used it without telling her and then Eddie got accused of stealing a cd that was his and she didn't believe him. And Louis was having trouble acting in a commercial. It was very genuine how Randall Park portrayed it! It seemed like he was genuinely messing up!

The Real O'neals- I don't usually watch this show... but I watched it! It was alright. It was a Valentine's Day episode and it was good. It had a Christmas Carol vibe and a first love breakup type vibe... I kinda wish this show was set in the 80s or 90s like The Goldbergs and Fresh Off The Boat... it just seems like an old school show and I think it would translate better in one of those decades.

Wednesday 
The Goldbergs- This was a really good episode! Parody of the Karate Kid... also a parody of the twitter feud between the actor Adam Goldberg that played Chandler's roommate Eddie on Friends and Adam F. Goldberg- creator of The Goldbergs. Plus Erica and Jeff were getting together... even though I think in the end they sort of didn't... it was a good one. One of the best maybe... yeah. I would say one of the best!

Modern Family- This was pretty funny... and kind of had a good twist at the end even. I wasn't paying all that much attention... but it was good! I liked it! I'll have to watch it again to get the full effect.


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
