New TV Reviews: 9-1-1, X Files Season 11, LA To Vegas, Grownish, Alone Together

Sooo I've seen a bunch of new tv shows... and I've really liked all of them... so I thought I would just do one mega review of everything... and here's what I think about it all.

9-1-1 
This show had one of the best pilots I've ever seen and a great follow-up episode as well. It's just such a great show... really sucks you in when you watch it and makes you wonder what happens next. I think they did such a great job with character development for an ensemble... it's Ryan Murphy so obviously it's going to be amazing with an amazing  cast... Connie Britton, Angela Basset, the guy that played Nate on Six Feet Under... everyone is just so good and I'm really loving the show so far. It already has me hooked and this episode ended on a cliffhanger... so I'm excited to see what's coming next!

The X Files 
This season of the X Files is kind of funny because I'm actually watching it with my mom who isn't that into sci fi and she never really watched the show before... she was just kind of around when I was watching the season premiere... and I think she was kind of hooked even though she thought it was unbelievable.

A lot of the critics said that the first episode of the season wasn't the strongest... and I have to kind of agree... but at the same time I really liked it. It was a little predicable I'd say... but it was still unique enough to be excited for. I don't know... it was nothing unexpected but the end was something I thought was a little heartbreaking and creepy... and I thought this was one of the best episodes from the Cigarette Smoking Man.

The second episode I still liked... but it was a little hard to figure out what was going on... I liked it and didn't at the same time... it was really cool and unique with a very bleak ending that felt like the original series... and I liked that a lot... Plus it's always fun to see the Lone Gunmen!

La To Vegas 
This one kind of sucked. It wasn't the worst pilot of the year or the worst show ever... I just didn't like it. I would rather see Dylan McDermott on 9-1-1 with Connie Britton... he was very goofy and over the top in this show and I just thought it kind of sucked.

I liked the story with the female flight attendant... the actor that played the other flight attendant was really good too... everyone was funny... the show itself wasn't funny though... it just didn't do it for me and I wouldn't recommend watching this when there are sooo many shows on right now.

Grown-ish 
This was really really funny. If you like Blackish- and you like teen comedy shows- I think this is a good show for you. Zoey Johnson is very relatable and I just think all the characters on the show are really unique and cool. I love her group of girl friends... it's  just a really strong, different squad. They also do a good job showing a diverse group of students so it actually looks like a real college. I just really like it so far! I think it's going places!

Alone Together 
I kind of liked this show... but I hope it gets a little bit better. I think it's funny... but the plot of this episode was just a little slow... not my favorite overall... but it wasn't bad. It just wasn't the most interesting. I like the characters, I love Ester on Crazy Ex Girlfriend and I'm excited to see that she has her own show now... the commercials were really really funny for this and I think this is something that's good now... but it'll end up getting better and better as it goes on.

So that is everything! I hope you guys like this! I will maybe do more tv reviews once the season finale's are all out... so let me know if that's something you like!

Byeee!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
