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?

Pretty Little Liars aired 7/1/2013 I want to say this show couldn't get any more twisted and confusing if it tried, but every week I am proved wrong by what the Liars get themselves into and what A comes up with. The girls are now being watched by the new detective in town and his partner.  Hanna runs into them at the bank when she goes to see her mom and they are emptying out Wilden's vault. Caleb is always around to save the day when Hanna gets stuck talking to the female detective. He also helps her cover for her mom when the detectives show up on their front door step. I think if Hanna doesn't stop trying to stick her nose all up in this business, she's going to get herself or her mother into some trouble. She confronts her mom about being in Rosewood the night Wilden was killed.   Emily's dad returns to town and her parents are under investigation. It doesn't help that she takes off running in the middle of the night screaming at them and the cops show up. I have a bad feeling that her parents are going to end up getting arrested, or Emily will be removed from the home, something along those lines.  Spencer is still all about helping Toby. She finds the doctor his mother saw in Radley isn't far from Rosewood and he sets off to find him and try to find out what went down. Toby locates him and they have a nice, long chat about his mother. At the end of the conversation, the doctor tells Toby to tell his mother he said hello. So, the guy has lost it clearly. But he says something interesting about the blonde girl coming to visit her. Dun, dun, dun.... Spencer spills to her mom and Melissa that she's been rejected from UPenn. They're not okay with that, of course.  Aria has started seeing her martial arts instructor, Jake. They run into Malcolm while walking through town and he asks why Aria never comes over anymore. Jake gets this confused look on his face and Aria ends up telling him about what happened between her and Ezra.  The big event of the episode: Spencer and Aria set up Melissa and then follow her to the mask shop, where Melissa is seen dragging out a bag so large and heavy that Aria questions whether a body could fit into or not. It doesn't contain a body but it is full of Ali masks and she destroys every single one of them. Spencer confronts her about Wilden's death and I'm pretty sure Melissa is guilty. In the end, the girls get a text letting them know that Melissa isn't part of the A team. I find it odd that Mona was MIA this episode. Only makes me wonder what she is up to. I'm interested to see what happens between Aria and Jake. Is Ezra really out of the picture?  Dexter aired 7/7/2013 I also watched Dexter (only one time through) and have a little to comment on. Dr. Vogel is already an interesting character. As I kind of guessed at last week, Harry had talked to her about Dexter. I really liked the videos of Harry consulting her. I feel it gave an interesting take on Dexter's evolution and the early stages of his serial killer side. Deb is going on a killing spree herself and can't even remember that she killed El Sapo. Time to lay off the drugs and drink, woman. I'm curious to see what happens with Jamie and Quinn. I hope they stick together and Quinn's protectiveness over Deb doesn't get in the way of their relationship. Is it wrong that next week I'm hoping for Dexter to kill someone? I know he killed Briggs last week but I'm waiting for the first plastic wrap kill of the season still.

Pretty Little Liars

Turn of the Shoe - aired 6/18/13

I love that the Liars are still not trusting Mona. I think she deserves it after all of the crap she has put them through. I still don't trust her completely. Part of me wants to but another part of me is saying it's just part of her little game. The attack on her by the masked person when she got in her car was perfect timing. I'm always excited when a new episode opening begins, especially with a twist. 

I'm getting mad at Toby for hiding stuff from Spencer! I know he wants to know what happened to his mom but what about your girl, dude?! She is a total catch. Except for that time she went all mental hospital on everyone. Is it wrong to think A is behind her rejection from UPenn?

I cringed when I saw Emily popping those pills. And now I'm suspicious of Hanna's mom. Also, how cute is Aria's new martial arts instructor?!

I was overjoyed at Hanna confronting Shauna, and Spencer confronting Ezra! About time for both.

Ali's mom is creeping me out completely. Why is she now coming home? And the bird, really? 

C-R-E-E-P-Y! 

So, the end of the episode leaves me still wondering about Mona and where her loyalty lies, and if Hanna's mom really did have something to do with Wilden's death. I wouldn't be shocked if she did. Or if she was going to end up framed for it. That guy put her family through a bunch of misery for no good reason.

Until next time!

Redefining Jenna - aired 6/11/13

I feel like this show JUST came back on, and now the season finale is airing. What the heck is up with that?! How is time flying by so quickly?! Okay, that's enough ranting about how fast time passes for now.

First off, I love that Ming is the new leader of the Asian mafia and I can't wait to see how that continues to play out next season. I see it working in Jenna's and Tamara's favor. 

So, Jenna is all over Collin and I can't say that I blame her. He's more mature than Matty and about as equally attractive. (Don't worry, it's okay for me to say that, because even though they play high school students, the guy who plays Collin is two years older than me, and Beau Mirchoff [Matty] barely qualifies for being a year younger than me. I double-checked.) Back to what I was saying, Jenna has the hots for Collin and she ditches Matty to hang with him at a photography exhibit. She ends up staying there almost the entire night and ignoring Matty's texts. Finally she heads to the party her bffl is co-hosting and lets Matty know she's outside. In Collin's truck. Yep, something is about to go down between them. He already told her he broke up with his girlfriend and wanted to be with a girl like her. They get their make-out on and Matty shows up just as Collin is pulling away, with no Jenna in sight. She pops up behind him and says "hi" all innocent like. I had a strong feeling she was going to end up getting some action from Collin. I'm glad she did. I feel like it's time for her to move on from Matty and see what happens there. Team Matty. Team Jake. Team Matty. Team Collin. I can't wait for the next season to start!

Pretty Little Liars

A is for A-l-i-v-e - aired 6/11/13

This part is going to be really brief, but thank goodness for DVR again because I had to wait until Wednesday morning to catch up on my PLL addiction. A pig was in the trunk?! Seriously?! As soon as I saw that though, I had a strong feeling Wilden would turn up dead before the episode was over. So Mona spills a bunch of A-team secrets to the Liars, A sends creepy texts, the girls meet their mini-mes outside Mona's lair, the Liars attend Wilden's funeral, Hanna's mom's phone is found in his coffin, and Toby turns over the lair for information about his mother. So much to process. I'm ready to hear something more serious about Melissa since for the past few seasons it's always being hinted at that she's a bad person and she's on the A-team. I want to know what her deal is. I kinda feel like she killed Allison. Or CeCe. Or both of them. And Jenna. I feel like it was mean girls vs. mean girl, right. I mean, it had to be, didn't it? I'm also excited about this new detective in town and the angle he approached the Liars with, saying that he thought Wilden had been harassing them. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow night's episode, which again, I will be watching Wednesday. Grr. I need to stop making plans for Tuesday evenings. But I'm celebrating my bestie's birthday a week late so it's a good reason at least. 

See you all next week!

Awkward

Episode: Rubbed Raw and Reeling

Okay, I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I watch this show but it's one of those guilty pleasure ones for me. Much like The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars. It's a show about high schoolers but I could almost care less because it cracks me up. When it first came on TV, my friend M and I were obsessed. Awkward was a regular phase in our vocabulary. I've been watching it since day one. I've been through the Matty-Jenna drama, the letter drama, the Jake-Jenna relationship, and every other crazy thing that goes on in this show. I really wanted Jenna to stay with Jake. I liked them together. But I like Matty too. He's the bad boy turned good, and I'm a sucker for them.

In this episode, Jenna is selected by her teacher to read something she has written at Bean There Done That - a local coffee shop - and awkward surprise, her parents show up. Val (my guidance counselor role model) comes to the rescue when Jenna gets nervous and she is about to bail when she sees her teacher hanging out in the back and realizes she can't. She finally gets up to read: about how she lost her virginity. And who else is in the crowd, but lovely Sadie. Sadie is sort of my idol too purely because of how witty she is. "You're welcome" is by far my favorite catch phrase. After her reading, Jenna decides to spend some quality time with Colin. I'm not sure how I feel about him yet but I feel like he is the mature guy Jenna needs and something is bound to happen between the two of them. I love that he suggests he is "over it" with his girlfriend and her non-responsive response. Silence sometimes says more than words. I'm excited to see what happens between J + M this week.


I also watched the premiere of The Bachelorette. I had to skip this week's episode and save it for DVR watching tomorrow.

I'm also excited about catching up on the Teen Wolf premiere and next week PRETTY LITTLE LIARS.


Join in on the fun!
