Hart of Dixie Round 2: Leggo

I am watching Hart of Dixie with Sister again. Time for random thoughts:


  • Taylor Swift! yayy!
  • #thatawkwardmoment when you're bffl you are secretly in love with and is engaged? (maybe) to someone else comes and wakes you up in the morning and you try to get all cute.
  • This is weird? Best night of your life? Engaged to the wrong girl, dude. 
  • 15 year relationship? Wow, they are Bluebell's resident Cory and Topanga.
  • Stay friends. The two words every girl loves to hear.
  • YAYYYYYYYY WADE. He is so sexy. Take your shirt off now, please and thanks and abs.
  • Bluebell battle? sigh. This outta be good.
  • Wade and Zoe: stop fighting and make out already.
  • Still can't get over the fact that the girl's name is Lemon. Her sister should've been named Lime.
  • For the umpteenth time, Zoe needs to get over George and makeout with Wade already.
  • The Reverend would have the last name "Mayfair." Because if that's your last name you have to have a reputable occupation.
  • George: when Lemon screws you over, make lemonade and get back together with her.
  • Seriously, I cannot get over the fact that her name is Lemon; every time someone says it I internally giggle and can't take anything anyone says seriously
  • Love Tom and his puppy sweater. He is too cute. 
  • Wade and Tom at the same table. What a great table. I would pay to sit at that table.
  • I bet/hope Zoe does this ho-dunk race with Wade.
  • Yupp, hott ex-wife just suggested Zoe Hart. 
  • Zoe's pseudo little sister is pumped because Magnolia's ex asked her out. Congrats, little girl, I am sure you found your soul mate at age 14. 
  • Zoe keeps calling George names like "buddy" and "pal," to try and cover up the fact that she really wants to call him "sexy beast." 
  • I have no use for the Mayor guy. Levon? #notinterested
  • Wade being nice. and sexy. Sigh. 
  • Yeah you could be a good team, in bed. (too far?).
  • Zoe, he is in love with you. That is what is with that guy.
  • Sister thinks that the Reverend Mayfair was on Clarissa Explains It All.
  • Lem def cannot pull off that bright red lipstick, just saying.
  • Reverend Mayfair is making them play with Sock Em Bop Ems, yupp he was def on Clarissa Explains It All because now he is making them play with 90s toys. 
  • Looks like its Cory and Topanga versus Ross and Rachel (the will they won't they of the show) in the big Bluebell town race. Yee-haw!
  • Did "Daddy" really just call her "lemonade?" Oh. My. God. 
  • I would pay so much money to sit at Wade's bar. 
  • Pseudo little sister's mom is cray cray overprotective! Hello, helicopter parent. 
  • And now pseudo little sister is pissed because her first offic date is at said race.
  • Have we determined what said race is now? Are they running? Rowing? Tobogganing? 
  • He wants your heart, Zoe, not just the race prize. 
  • Sister commented that Lem and George are wearing church clothes while racing. Oh, the South.
  • Levon is wearing a bowler hat. I care about him even less now.
  • I hope Wade runs shirtless in his aviators. 
  • They win a bell? And $5000? alrighty.
  • What is going on?
  • From what I can gather, it is some sort of hillbilly scavenger hunt with wheelbarrow building and other such events. 
  • Wade, please call me "Doll."
  • I think Wade is speaking metaphorically. The wheelbarrow is symbolic of their relationship.
  • Are ex-wife and mayor I could care less about going to hookup? 
  • The next challenge is nut counting? Huh?
  • Rose and Freddie are going to get a milkshake. In love. Prec.
  • What I would give to press against Wade like that. 
  • And Lem and George are making some sort of husk-sculpture. So this is what they do instead of making snowmen in the South?
  • George with a low blow, admitting locking lips with Zoe.
  • Wade thinks he is in to her. Poor guy. 
  • The next task is eating cotton candy? Rosie from Ellen would be pumped.
  • Aw, Wade, I hope Zoe doesn't break your heart. 
  • I bet Levon I don't care about comforts ex-wife and they get it on. 
  • I don't know if they were eating cotton candy or not. Huh. The mysteries of this show. 
  • Zoe I am not liking you so much right now. 
  • Okay, Levon, I know have use for you because you defended the honorable Wade.
  • Ross and Rachel are in third place! Yayy!
  • Zoe seems to be pondering the idea of her and Wade. We will see.
  • I think Rose overestimated the intelligence and romantic qualities of this 14 year old. 
  • The final task is fishing off of the wall of a church? Yupp, I still don't get the point of this whole thing. 
  • Why do they always refer to Zoe as Zoe Hart? This town has like 5 people in it, everyone would know who they were talking about if they just said Zoe.
  • Romantical times reeling in the fish wire with Wade. 
  • Zoe, if you break Wade's heart I will drive to Bluebell (God help me) and break yours.
  • Rose is about to go to makeout pond. Oooh ooohh.
  • Lem getting deep...
  • No Zoe, do not tell him. It will only end in embarrassment and with Wade's sexy face looking sad.
  • I'm sorry how would this race possibly help her win him back? Like are we supposed to assume he would see her corn sculpture and have to have her right then and there?
  • Oh, scaling the building to get the fish. Yupp, that is how she is going to win him back. 
  • Aw, Wade's sexy face is sad. And he is sad. Zoe better make this up to him.
  • 5 bucks says they have a "make up on the roof" kiss. 
  • Fish and worms. Romantic. 
  • This kid is really awkward. Rose is cute. I bet she throws up when he tries to kiss her though, poor kid. 
  • Now George is going to get that stupid fish. Still don't get why all this is important.
  • George and Lemon got their fish back aka their relationship back. Hart of Dixie you are so symbolic tonight. 
  • Now they are all bro-ing out in the Bluebell version of the Peach Pitt. 
  • Oh Mayfair, you are so wise and know who belongs together. 
  • Tom is sad about choking and ruining their fishing chances. Matching sweatsuit gf doesn't care because his stupidness is adorable. They kiss. 
  • Mayor Levon and Wade's ex are probs going to have a sexy spaghetti dinner. Ex wife regrets playing cupid with her ex. Oops. 
  • Levon is a list maker. Made one about Little Miss Lemonade. 
  • If Lemon gets drunk at this party can we call her Pina-Colada?
  • Ohh, ex-wife's name is Pansy. The names in this town are ridiculous. They are all either flowers or fruits. (note- Sister just informed me that it is Tansy not Pansy. Because that is so much better.) 
  • Aw, stupid shorts is the only bad thing he can say about her. Wade, you are perfect. 
  • George, go away and run back to your fruit. Zoe, leave your apartment and run back to your Wade. 
  • Sorry, Zo, Cory won't dump Topanga for you, as much as you want him to. 
  • #thatawkwardmoment when the girl you are making a list about runs in the room.
  • Pseudo sister has a burst appendix and her mom is blaming Zoe. Because it is really her fault her daughter got appendicitis on her first date. 
  • That seems like a good idea. Don't let the only surgeon in town near your daughter after her appendix burst. Very smart move there, helicopter mom. 
Well, another H of D down. Summary: I do like Zoe, but I think she needs to get over George and be with Wade. Also this town has interesting ways of amusing itself. Thanks for reading!

Grey's Anatomy: "Moment of Truth."


  • Oh boy, Medical Boards time. Wonder what will happen? Bet everyone magically passes after some unpredictable drama.
  • April is a soldier. Alrighty...
  • Avery looks sexy in that hoodie. And Mark just gave him money. Lucky guy.
  • Awkward Cristowen eye contact.
  • Aw, all of the Docs are watching them leave. Precious. It's like they are going away to summer camp.
  • Poor Zola is sick. Meredith has to go take the boards. Good thing her Dad is a sexy Doctor with great hair.
  • 5 bucks says Alex misses the boards because of Morgan and Tommy but wins Morgan's heart and passes the exam magically anyways.
  • April is crazy. End of story. I still enjoy her though. 
  • The bus is honking and the attendings are waving. Just like summer camp parents.
  • Sigh, I wish Mark needed Lexie in a non-surgical way. 
  • Now they are discussing CDs and Lexie just used the phrase "fresh;" Oh Lex, you cannot pull that off, babe. 
  • Oh San Fran. What up. Let's go Seattle Grace Mercy West Residents! Kick ass!
  • April has an awkward encounter with a fairly attractive guy in a hat. 
  • Meredith is sick. Oh, snap. 5 bucks says she pukes on her test. April is def going to lock herself in one of those plastic bubbles now because she is that neurotic. 
  • Random commercial musing: Today I was watching re-runs of season 2 Grey's and I have concluded that every single one of these characters has grown more attractive as the years have gone by. Seriously, Derek, Meredith, Mark, Callie, Alex, everyone. They are all have just gotten hotter with age. Lucky bitches. 
  • Yupp, April is freaking out. Well, actually everyone is but Cristina, since she is Mer's person and legally isn't allowed. 
  • Avery's mom showed up to the Boards. hahaha poor guy. Continuing the summer camp metaphor, it's like when your mom shows up mid-week just to check in with you. And he has a lucky pencil. #embarrassing. 
  • Owen and Teddy arguing. Shocker. 
  • I like Bailey's purple scrub cap. Cute.
  • Yes Callie, dealing with the Teddy-Owen dynamic is like diffusing a bomb. If only Mer were at the hospital, she has bomb experience.
  • April is one emotional cookie. 
  • Alex is going back to Seattle. Who predicted this?
  • ABC volunteering commercial. Hey Grey's cast and Dana Delaney.
  • Zola is very sick. Aw Derek is trying to be super Dad. Precious.
  • I really hope Mer and Der stay in Seattle (meaning I hope Ellen and Patrick renew their contracts).
  • hahahha Cristina with a face mask on. And is giving Mer a black market obtained IV. Oh Seattle Grace doctors, you keep me so young with your antics.
  • Oh good, more Mexie interactions. And cute lunchtime flirting. Andd Mark just ruined that with talk of Avery and her breaking up. P.S. Mark they broke up because she's still in love with you, in case you were wondering. 
  • Oh Alex, you are totes going to miss your boards. 
  • They better not kill this baby. Ugh. 
  • Come on, Tommy! Magically survive somehow!
  • Drinking before the Boards seems like a bad idea, April and Avery. 
  • Awkward encounter guy is hott. And "wound up." Avery is getting all protective. Have I mentioned I want Avery and April to be together?
  • BAR FIGHT! OMG APRIL JUST PUNCHED THAT GUY AND USED THE PHRASE "YEAH BITCH I WANNA GO!" A part of me just died inside. Of laughter and hilarity. 
  • Also, how dare that guy punch Avery in his sexy face? Doesn't he know that half of the appeal of this show is the attractiveness of its doctors? Particularly Avery???
  • Haha April gave that guy a bloody nose. She is going bat sh*t crazy.
  • Heyy there Chief! What an awkward moment to walk in on-two of your residents engaging in a "brawl in a bar." 
  • This Morgan storyline is sad. I hope she and Alex get together after all of this. Hello, replacement Izzie.
  • Standard 9:30pm coding. Happens every episode. 
  • Ew, is Chief going to hook up with Avery's mom. Dang, he really likes to make his way through the parents of his residents. 
  • Poor sick Mer. She is feeling terrible and all she can think about is feeling guilty for being a bad mom when her kid is sick. Aw. 
  • Well, Cristina is finally talking. Yes, Mer already knew, and so did all of the Grey's viewers. But no one else does.
  • April and Avery are totes going to hook up. This Boards hotel place is like freakin' Vegas with all of the hooking up going on. 
  • Is April about to cash in her V-card with Avery? Yeah, I'd do it too. #understandable #heishott.
  • Yes, Chief, Avery is in good shape considering he is most likely getting some right now. 
  • This Teddy-Owen arguing storyline is really dull. 
  • Bails, you totes aren't supposed to take your mask off during surgery. I, as an 8-season viewer, know that is not acceptable doctor behavior. 
  • Bailey is the #1 supporter of Owen apparently. 
  • Baby Tommy dying. This is really sad. 
  • I am going to have to come up with a couple name for Alex and Morgan. Amorgan? Molex?
  • GAH Mexie just get it on already! #frustrating 
  • Ew. Chief and Avery's mom. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. She is not a subtle woman at all. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. 
  • Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. I am sorry aren't these people too old to have sex??? THEY ARE AT LEAST TOO OLD FOR THEM TO BE SHOWING THIS ON TELEVISION. OMG. 
  • Dear Grey's writers, no one wants to see old people have sex. love, Mel. 
  • Sister weighs in "Anyone over 50 should not be removing their clothes."
  • And we are back to the young hott couple. Okay, this I can watch. 
  • April and Avery are having awkward pillow talk. She looks like she is internally spazzing out. 
  • I really hope everyone sees him leave her room. I really want everyone to find out about this. Like now.
  • I want these two to date. A lot. Couple names for them? Japril? 
  • Aw, Mer and Cristina are having person-talking time between their rooms.
  • Oh yeah, I forgot Derek was married before. To Addison. Huh. 
  • Cristina is being oddly open-minded about this. 
  • Meredith seems to be feeling better. That's good.
  • No one seems to be getting a lot of sleep the night before their boards. Bad idea.
  • NO YOU TWO CAN'T SEPARATE! YOU ARE EACH OTHER'S PERSON AND I WILL CRY.
  • Merstina's person-friendship is precious. Dear Ellen and Sandra, please renew your contracts so it doesn't end. 
  • This is very sad. 
  • It's 9:54pm and Alex is still in Seattle. Don't see him making his Boards on time. 
  • Arizona is Alex's biggest supporter. Cute.
  • Oh no, Mer is totes going to vom on her test. 
  • Aw Cristina being a supportive friend. Mind over matter. 
  • OMG. Avery saw Chief in his mom's room. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Poor him. Considering I am scarred for life he is probably never going to recover from this. Way to ruin his chances on the Boards, horny geriatric squad. 
  • Aw Derek and Zola. In a bumblebee costume. He is a cute dad.
  • Lexie is turning to Derek a lot for help these days. What a cute, unexpected friendship. 
  • Teddy reaching out to Owen. 
  • I didn't know they had to dress up for the Boards. 
  • April, way to drop a bomb there. Apparently you lost your love of Jesus somewhere in that bar fight.
  • Yes, Avery, I would not like to look at that pencil again, either. Who knows what that pencil saw last night?
  • Either Cristina or Mer is going to vomit here. 
  • Alex, Alex, Alex. #oops
  • Preview for next week: Boards were physical hell. Interrogation. Hopes and dreams on the line. FEENY! Someone didn't pass.

Reasons I Am Now "On Board" With Hart Of Dixie

So Sister and I made a deal: I would try to watch Hart of Dixie if she attempted to watch Pretty Little Liars. So tonight I sat down with her and watched an eppie of HofD.

I hate to admit it, but I am officially on board with it now. Here's why:

  1. Wade. OMG. He is so freaking sexy. I could stare at him for all 42 minutes (hear that writers? also writers-if you're listening, please keep him shirtless as much as possible). Also I love his sexual tension with Zoe. I am officially team Zade after only watching 5 minutes with them. 
  2. Rachel Bilson. Love her. Makes me want to watch old eppies of The O.C. She is so cute and fun onscreen. However, Zoe needs to stop being such a smitten kitten over George. Dumb. 
  3. Scotty McCreery was on tonight. In love. Come sing to me, Scotty. 
  4. Magnolia is funny. 
  5. Lemon is interesting.
  6. Their Dad is Mike Beardsley from Yours, Mine, and Ours.
Mmk. On board now and curious to see what happens next. Will review next week's eppie after next week.

P.S. Sister, this totes means you have to watch PLL now...

5 Most Disappointing Storylines of Television (In Mel's Opinion)

(In no particular order, they all suck). 


1. Robin not being "the mother" on How I Met Your Mother

  • Ugh really HIMYM writers? You totes screwed up in the first episode. I honestly think they underestimated how popular Ted and Robin's relationship would be and the chemistry Cobie and Josh had. And here is an actual quote from Craig Thomas, the co-creator: "Cobie (Robin) should have been the mother. We screwed up.”  NO SH*T!!!!! They were too presumptuous and trying to fool us too much and they ruined the possibility of her being the mother before they got to know the characters. That being said, I ABSOLUTELY ADORE HIMYM and find it one of the best comedies on TV right now. It is one of my favorite shows. Even though Ted and Robin aren't together (right now) their friendship and the friendship of the core 5 is awesome and makes the show. Still, I really hope that, even though Robin is not the mother, she and Ted still end up together in the end (i.e. the mother dies, they get divorced, etc.). I really think they should be endgame. I'm with Marshall, it's not over. "Not Yet."
2. Dawson and Joey not ending up together on Dawson's Creek
  • Now I haven't seen a lot of Pacey and Joey together, because I am a diehard DJ fan. However, I do think that they are an okay alternative to DJ being endgame. The problem I have is the way the finale ended things and the route it took. They keep you guessing the whole eppie who she will choose, then they make you think it will be Pacey in the kitchen-spaghetti scene. Fine. But then don't throw that dumb "we are soulmates" crap in there! Sue me, but I think if you are going to call each other your "soulmate" than you should end up together. Whatever.
3. Mike Delfino being killed off Desperate Housewives
  • I find this storyline especially irksome. How dare those writers kill off one half of the main will-they-won't-they couple of the show? Don't get me wrong, I love Carlos and Gabby, and Lynette and Tom (yeah, writers, you screwed that one up, too). But Susan and Mike made the show from the beginning. When they flirted over her terrible mac n cheese in the pilot, you just knew they were going to end up together. That is, until high-and-mighty Marc "I do what I want and what will be cool, not what the fans want," Cherry decided Mike had to go. SERIOUSLY? Even Teri Hatcher is pissed about this. Not cool, dude. 
4. Owen cheating on Cristina on Grey's Anatomy
  • This was just, stupid, unnecessary, and out of character. Don't the writers have enough to do with Owen's PTSD and his disappointment in Cristina not getting an abortion? Can't they have drama over that for a couple of episodes and still come out stronger? I just don't see them recovering from this, which is annoying because Cristina was finally happy for once. This relationship wasn't nearly as destructive as her one with Burke. I am not the biggest Chrisowen (sure?) fan ever, but I personally hate to watch Cristina sob an entire episode. (Seriously, when Sandra Oh cries, it really freaks me out, I don't know why). I guess at least we will get some cute Mer-Cris friendship stuff out of this as Mer attempts to fix her person. But still, stupidd.
5. Lorelai and Christopher getting married on Gilmore Girls
  • This is what happens when the show creator leaves the best show ever in the hands of someone else. UGHHHHH. I literally am still so angry about this, and it happened like 5 years ago. WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY MARRY LORELAI AND CHRIS? It was literally so dumb and just drove Luke and Lorelai together home even more because the second she got home from Paris she looked disappointed with herself. It was just another dumb plot to keep Luke and Lorelai apart for another season. What really got me though, was that we had to sit through that marriage and never even saw Luke and Lorelai get married. All we got was a kiss in the last 5 seconds of the finale and a promise that they would prob be together. Oh, TV writers, sometimes you frustrate me to no end...
Well, this are the five that I came up with right now. I am sure there are more, but right now that's all I got. Clearly, I get irritated when television shows do not go as I have planned. Sorry I'm not sorry.

The "College Conundrum"

In tonight's post, I will be discussing what is known as the "college conundrum." What's the "college conundrum," you ask?

Definition:
college conundrum- n- a situation a tv show finds itself in after their characters have graduated high school and they don't know what to do next. Tonight we will look deeper and see which shows have successfully solved the "CC" and those who should have just opted out.

1. Dawson's Creek: Oh beek from the Creek, I love you (and your new show b.t. dubs!), but Kevin Williamson should've done something else besides send you guys to college. Time jump (see #2 One Tree Hill), ended the show, or the cheesy 'everyone attends the same college magically' storyline (see #3 Saved By the Bell). Instead we have Dawson across the country at film school (doesn't last), Joey at some made up Massachusetts school, Pacey God knows where, and Jen and Jack (and Grams, actually-odd?) at the same made up school as Joey (I think? If not they go to another made up Massachusetts school). This situation just leads to boredom and stupid storylines (i.e. Mitch dying-GASP-poor Gail) and drags out the Dawson-Joey thing another 2 years. This storyline also leads to Busy Phillips's character, who I could do without. (No offense, Busy, you're great and I'm glad you got on the show so you and Michelle Williams could be bffls and everything, but the only time I have use for you is when you drive Pacey's fancy car in the Leery household at Christmas-so great). Other than the epic Christmas drive-through, I usually get bored watching season 6 (haven't attempted season 5 yet), which leads me to say that Dawson's should have opted out of the whole college thing.
Final Verdict: FAILED

2. One Tree Hill- MS actually chose right here (love you, Mark!) and decided to skip the whole college thing. We get to relive it through flashbacks, with Nathan, Haley, and Lucas sharing an apartment amidst raising baby Jimmy-Jam. Brooke used the time to create the C over B empire (still don't know if she went to school or not), while Peyton hid out in California and continued to be emo at a record company or something. This was the perfect scenario because we know what happened in those years but got to miss the dull storylines that could have ensued. #winning . Plus we get to skip to Jimmy-Jam age 4 and meet the adorable Jackson Brundage (heart you, Jack!)
Final Verdict: PASSED

3. Saved By The Bell- Don't judge me, but I enjoy SBTB The College Years. Don't get me wrong, its no Bayside High, but the fictional school all of these characters magically all attend together leads to a rabble-rousing good time. The first episode is worrysome, but then Kelly Kapowski herself shows up and saves the show for the rest of the season. Meaning the will-they won't-they between Zack and Kelly saves the show for the rest of the season. We also get the lovely additions of Alex and Leslie, who are enjoyable in the small doses of screentime they get. I also enjoyed the absence of Jessie "I am an extreme in your face feminist" Spano, although I did miss Lisa the fashionista.
Final Verdict: PASSED

4. The O.C.- I haven't seen that much of this show, but the parts of the "college years" I have seen have not made me want to jump on the O.C. bandwagon or anything. I do know that Marissa is gone (dumb, move Mischa), and that there is pointless Seth and Summer long distance drama. Should've done a time jump because the best episode is the finale in which there is a time jump and we get to see the happy Jewish wedding of Seth and Summer and Ryan help a mini version of himself.
Final Verdict: FAIL (ish)

5. Gilmore Girls- GG was able to work with the college years by having Rory go to school only 20 miles away from home. This was really the best of both worlds, because it didn't really change anything about the show (except add the hott and adorable Logan-BRAVO!). Lorelai and Rory continued to have separate storylines (like when she was in high school), but they also were able to share some storylines still, too, which made it work. The show stayed true to itself (minus the Christopher-marrige horribleness...UGH...so dumb! But, another story for another blog, I digress) and reminded us all that the mother-daughter relationship was the core of the show. Great job, GG!
Final Verdict: PASSED

So what have we learned here? There are many ways to approach the college conundrum, and creativity is key. Don't try and be realistic and send characters who are friends all off to different schools, because while that is what actually happens, it unfortunately makes for bad television.

Thanks for reading!

Things I am Always Going to Think of Now When Watching Old OTH

Thinking back on the last nine years of OTH, so much has changed that I can no longer watch the old episodes about giggling about something that is to come. (And I mean that in a good way). Seriously, after all of the crazy storylines MS has thrown at us, I can't help but laugh at the irony of certain situations. Like...

  • The incestuous relationships. Brooke, Lucas, Peyton, Nathan, Haley. They have all been involved at one point or another, and by the end of the series its just comical. Like, hey Sawyer, do you know that Daddy has had sex with your godmother? Lydia, did you know that Daddy slept with Aunt Sawyer and Aunt Taylor? Or my personal favorite: Jimmy-Jam, did you know that Aunt Brooke and Dad had a sex tape in high school? 
  • Sad, lonely, scared and upset Brooke. Oh, Brookie, I just feel so bad for you in the majority of the first seasons. You are adorable and try to be fun, yet the world (meaning the OTH writers) just loves to consistently shit on you. Your best friend constantly cheated on you with your boyfriend. I mean I know Leyton are soulmates or whatever, but still, at least wait until he's done with Brooke. I just want to give you a hug and say "JULIAN IS COMING I PROMISE! HANG IN THERE, B DAVIS!" (Also, have faith because Haley will become your bffl later on and be even better than Peyton ever was.) Still, all of that crap has made you a better friend and mother, so good for you. 
  • CLAY YOU HAVE A SON! (The cutest one ever, too) Seriously, dude, maybe if you spent less time in season 7 hooking up with endless girls and then romping naked on the beach with Quinn, you would remember you had a son. Also, I totes found a continuity mistake when I was rewatching 7x01 the other day. Clay gets on the phone and says "Mom, I'll have to call you back." I'm sorry, but if his mom was really around like that she would totes tell him he has the cutest son ever and reunite them. Sigh, but whatever. 
  • Dan Scott is really a good guy. WHATTT???? Now, whenever I watch an old episode, I can't even hate the man. I try to get angry with him for being a tool, but now all I can picture is his Rambo-ing through the Russian basketball lair. That scene really reminded us all that, just like Brooke said, Dan Scott is a "total DILF."
  • Chris Keller helps save Nate's life. hahahahhahahaha Guess its payback for Season 3. 
  • Skillz and Deb hook-up. In the Scott family pool. HAHAHAHHAHAHHA. Can't look at Deb the same anymore without thinking-dude you had sex with your son's high school friend. Wonder if he told Bevin after they got back together?
So, there are obviously many more and I will update if I can think of some. Gives me another excuse to watch OTH :)

Thanks for reading!

Don't Trust the B...But trust the Show

Tonight me and my friends decided to tune in to the pilot of Don't Trust the B in Apt. 23. Needless to say, we were thoroughly pleased. Here's why:

1. Utter Hilarity. This show is not afraid to offend people (i.e. Chloe getting the 13 year old boy drunk) when it comes to being funny. It is genuinely hysterical and the humor is there without trying too hard.

2. Dawson's Creek References: The Paula Cole, the plaid button ups, the "Beek from the Creek" comment. None of it got old. I sincerely hope the Dawson's references will continue. (Here's to hoping Katie Holmes guest stars-I. WOULD. DIE.)

3. The cast: Krysten Ritter (Chloe), Dreama Walker (June) James (no-not Lafferty, sigh.) van der Beek (himself) deliver and make their characters funny but likable. Ritter plays the bitch part well, while still retaining a level of humanity and extreme loyalty to her friends (just ask James about Vietnam). Walker makes June kind but not too much of a goody-goody that she's annoying. She can play the bitch card, too, which is why we all know she and Chloe are going to get along. And James, sweet sweet James. Well, Dawson has definitely lost his bicycle (serious points if you understand that reference). James is out in the real world and using his Dawson-ness to get girls into bed. #winning . His career is also in the tubes (hence the Japanese energy drink commercial).

Oh #Apt23, I have a feeling this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. To quote Sister, "I am ON BOARD!"
