Scribbles About TV: Black Mirror S2 Ep3- The Waldo Movement

Okay... I have to say after watching this episode I didn't quite know what to say about it in a review... and I just kind of stopped reviewing each episode on this blog... and I thought "ehhh I've got a few months prescheduled... I'll write it later." But I didn't...

And I thought I would re-watch it before writing this today... and I tried re-watching it and I just didn't want to. It's one of the more sad episodes of Black Mirror...and kind of one of the more realistic ones... so I feel like that makes it harder to watch.

So I don't really remember much of the episode... but I remember the basis of it. A comedian has this character that's a cartoon that makes some political commentary and he goes after this one politician and ends up gaining a lot of popularity.

I believe this politician had some sort of scandal... but he's been in office for so long he was still really popular although slightly corrupt... and this woman runs against him knowing she probably won't get in... but she could have a chance if no one ran against him... but Waldo ends up running... and instead of gaining a lot of popularity against the corrupt politician- he takes votes away from the woman that knows what she's doing.

There's also a relationship between the woman and the comedian that plays Waldo and he messes that up completely... and then he kind of doesn't really want to be in office and he tells people not to vote for Waldo... and then they fire him as Waldo and he loses his rights for the character and ends up homeless as Waldo gains more and more popularity.

So that is everything I can really remember about the episode... I'll try to re-watch the other episodes... but this one just isn't one I really wanted to re-watch... lol.

Byeee!

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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

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...
