Dexter
aired 8/11/13
After the way last week's episode ended, and the preview for this week, I COULD NOT WAIT to see what would happen with Hanna and what she did to Dexter and Deb. Deb wakes up home alone while Dexter wakes up in a field somewhere. Deb comes to pick Dexter up and he won't tell her what he knows at first, but by the time she shows up to get him, she has figured it out. Dexter starts his usual stalking and figures out where Hanna is, follows her to a club, and meets her new husband. WHAT. Oh, and she's Maggie now, not Hanna - and her hubby knows all there is to know about Dexter Morgan. Right away I guessed she was using him for something, though she says she isn't. She claims to be in love with him but we learn quickly that he is a powerful man, and she still wants Dexter. They have a secret rendezvous, her hubby finds out, and sics his gangsters on Dexter. Miles ends up dead at Hanna's hand and of course Dexter comes to the rescue and helps her cover it up. I have a small inkling that Dexter and Hanna will end up back together, possibly even married, by the end of the season. But as always with this show, the possibilities are endless. Maybe Deb will kill Hanna. Or Zach will kill Hanna. Speaking of Zach, how sad is it that he murdered Cassie? Dexter needs to focus and start helping him, instead of using him to get into clubs to follow Hanna. If Dexter doesn't start helping him soon, I have a feeling that Dr. Vogel will start teaching him the code, and that could go terribly wrong. I'm excited Quinn and Jamie are moving in together, even if it was motivated to be a slap in the face to Angel. I'm hoping Deb doesn't come between them after everything she has put Quinn through, but I think that's a likely possibility. I also think Deb and Elway are bound to get together at some point. I'm excited to see what transpires next!

Weekly TV Roundup #12

Hello fellow TV fanatics. Welcome back! We're at week 12 of Weekly TV Roundup and it's pretty exciting to realize this has been going on for so long. I've got a different format for my post this week since I have a lot on my mind in my personal life - when I have a lot going on I make lists, so bullet points it is!

Dexter
aired 8/4/2013
  • Joey wasn't given the sergeant job - I couldn't help but think he was undeserving of it when he caught Dexter and said "I know what you're up to" and in fact he did not haha. He is least suspicious of Dexter's true identity. Worst detective ever.
  • When Harrison accused Dexter of lying and brought out his puppy, covered in blood....oh boy! I think by the end of this season, Harrison will catch Dexter in the act, figure out more about him, or something terrible will happen to him because of who Dexter is.
  • Dr. Vogel wants to teach Zach "the code" and Dexter ends up deciding he wants to do the same. I'm curious to see how this plays out. I think Zach, being younger, will lack the self control Dexter seems to have. 
  • I'm glad to see Deb and Dexter getting back to their normal routine. I think they are headed down a good path to recovering their relationship.
  • Hanna is back! I thought I was seeing a ghost when she showed up. I think Dexter really cared about her but I don't know what might happen now! How did she get out?! And she's married? I see her killing her husband in the end, or Dexter doing it. 
The Bachelorette
Finale and After the Final Rose
aired 8/5/2013
My fellow TV rounder-upper, Tawny, posted spoilers last week that Brooks would be returning. At first I wasn't going to read it, I heeded her warnings, but then curiosity got the best of me. I really thought he would come back at the last minute, but I'm so glad he didn't. Chris is a hottie and seems to be a genuine, good-hearted man. If Des ever breaks up with him (though I hope they don't, I see it lasting) then Chris, I want you to know I'm here, and I'm available. Her relationship with Drew has always seemed off to me so I wasn't super surprised she sent him home. After last week's episode, when they showed previews of this week's show, I really thought she might end up going home. I think everything played out perfectly and worked out well in the end. Chris was the only one to meet her family and I'm glad she took that seriously and didn't keep Drew around to meet them when she knew that relationship was over. 
I loved seeing Sean and Catherine on After the Final Rose. That is one couple I never saw ending up together, but now I follow them on Instagram and am constantly amused by what they post. I'm glad to see that some of the more recent seasons of The Bachelor/Bachelorette have been turning out legitimate couples. Now, I'm ready to see Juan Pablo as The Bachelor! I wonder when/if he will include his daughter in the show and how his relationship with his baby mama will impact his season, if at all.
Until next time!

Weekly TV Roundup #11

I took a break from Weekly TV Roundup last week due to personal reasons. My life has felt like pure chaos the past two-three weeks, between a number of things, the biggest being that I was hired as an elementary school counselor, and then two days later told that someone on a surplus list needed to be placed and that job would no longer be mine. Huge disappointment. So I'm plugging away with more job applications, more interviews, and oh yeah, our school year begins next Thursday - which means if/when I get hired, it will be crunch time and the next week and a half will fly by and be more chaos. But if I get hired, I will embrace the chaos that comes with it and be more than happy to start my career. Thanks for listening to my rant...now on to the link up.

Pretty Little Liars

 "Crash and Burn Girl"
Hanna's mom is in jail -  it's not looking good for her - and the girls are holed up in her house. Caleb and Toby are holed up in (?) Toby's loft, doing detective work with a board all about A. I really love Caleb and Toby as a team and the fact that they are in it for their ladies. I feel like Paige would totally join their team if they invited her to do so. The guy at the flight center was shady from the beginning. I knew he was hiding something. I wish they would have caught him and held him hostage to get some information out of him. The "babe" he was talking to has to be red coat! The principal accuses Mike of bashing "jerk face's" car. I'm referring to him as jerk face because, well, that's what I think of guys who spread rumors like that boy was doing. It kills me that Ezra is still coming to Aria's rescue. Can't they just be together???? I'm really curious to know what her letter to him says! I hope we find out. Emily steals the key to Wilden's apartment and of course the liars have to check it out. They find a package from A and we are led to believe Wilden was also being stalked by A. I say "led to believe" because unless there is solid proof in this show, everyone and everything raises my suspicion. I'm worried that even though the liars were wearing gloves at Wilden's place they accidentally left something behind that the police will find. Just as bad, or even worse, now Emily's mom is in trouble at work because the key is missing. Ugh. Way to go, Em! Why did we not find out who was driving the car that came crashing through the front of Emily's house? Why didn't she, or her mom, look inside to see who the driver was? Wouldn't she suspect it's A-related? The preview for next week (today) was very exciting and I hope they reveal who was driving the car. I have a feeling Hanna is going to confess to murdering Wilden to try to get her mom out of jail. 
Thoughts?
