Heroes & its humanity
I honestly cannot fathom as to why I stopped watching this show in the first place. Over the past two days I have gorged myself on the whole of Season 1, a season that I had previously dipped in and out of and never fully understood before now. It has had me laughing, smiling and yes, it has had me in floods of tears. Those Petrelli brothers sure know how to tug on my old heart strings. This...

Rory Gilmore
I have lived my life thus far attempting to emulate Rory Gilmore in attitude and lifestyle, intellect and humour in all I do. I have had an undying affinity with this character for quite some time. However upon my 98th visual revisiting of Stars Hollow and from gentle prompting by one of my most favoured TV Journalists I am starting to question and dare I say even dislike...

Gossip Girl 5X16 recap - Humphrey, You Bastard.
I am happy to report that Gossip Girl is clawing it’s way back, it really is. Let’s just hope it can keep this little ball rolling and maybe it’ll snowball it’s way into saving the programme altogether. This weeks episode was better, so much better! It had the snarky allure of old seasons that seemed so long forgotten, every character had a plot line that wasn’t...

Hart of Dixie 1X15 recap - Family Matters
A snowy little episode from our favourite southern town. A touch of snow in Bluebell has Zoe Hart all cheery but apparently those stuck-in-their-ways town folk aren’t sharing in her glee. Calamity and misfortune ensue as does the simple loveliness of this show. I don’t think that my recaps of Hart of Dixie will ever be as detailed or nit picky as those for other...

The Secret Circle 1X15 recap - Daddy's Home
Firstly can we just make a comment on the episode last week that I, so stupidly, forgot to write a recap on, I’m ill so chill your beans. The only comment I want to make is - Chris Zylka semi-naked. I think that about covers last week….on to this week! I actually enjoyed this weeks ep however all the plot twists still seem a bit clunky and they try to go all dramatic straight away...

The Vampire Diaries 3X14 - Havin' A Ball
Firstly I’d like to apologise straight off for two things: the lateness of this post and it’s briefness in nature. I’m suffering from the dreaded mumps disease at the moment making most things difficult. So with my sincerest of apologies out of the way lets take a brief look at last weeks ep before we tuck into a new one this evening. I think you can guess my reaction...

Hart of Dixie 1x14 - Aliens & Aliases recap
Have I mentioned recently how much I love this show? I’m sitting here, very ill, and what’s keeping me going are shows like this. This weeks episode was no disappointment (apart from the lack of Wade and Zoe sexual tension) so lets jump straight in…
1) Wade and Zoe’s opener was fab, reminiscent of the Heatwave episode and that jug of lemonade, however this time it...

Hart of Dixie 1x13 - Sweetie Pies & Sweaty Palms
This show is like a lovely little ray of happiness that pierces the otherwise dark and overwhelmingly emotional television viewing of my week.
A simple show that harkens back to the glory days of programming and the witty and heart warming delights of the Gilmore Girls. A small town with well rounded genuine characters. There’s no murder, there’s no gore and...

Gossip Girl 5x13 - Wedding Jitters
I needed a week or two to compose myself after this episode. I didn’t quite know what to make of it. I should have loved it, I should have been eager with excitement at the thought of all those wedding gowns, pretty dresses & dapper looking gentlemen. I wasn’t and I would even go as far as to say the 100th episode was a let down.
Somewhere along the line, somehow, Gossip Girl...

The Vampire Diaries 3X13 - It's A Family Affair
Oh you guuuuys, we were well and truly treated this week.
I’ve said it once and no doubt I’ll be saying it every week from now - Season 3 is amazing. Another steller episode from both cast and writers. I’m constantly astounded & forever impressed. God I love this programme. Could this quite possibly be the best ensemble cast of actors on television today? Throw Ackles in...

The Secret Circle 1X13 - Medallions, Mistrust &...
Well, again, I’m not massively invested in this show. I like it, it keeps my supernatural & mythological taste buds satisfied and tangy but meh people. meh. It’s alright, it’s not great, but it is alright.
This weeks ep was not without its shining moments of better-than-good however as well as some other pretty notable performances &...

Gossip Girl 5x13 - recap postponed due to state of...
I just haven’t the energy to write anything.
I’ve donned all black & retreating to a state of unyielding sorrow centered around the chant ‘it is just a television show’
recap will come soon…

Panic! At The Disco - 25th January
Last Wednesday I managed to score last minute tickets to see Panic! At The Disco open their UK tour in Newcastle and I must say my inner 15 year old was very happy!
I hadn’t heard any of their new stuff but once the show started I felt like I had been stuck in a time-warp. In the best way. They played the majority of their first album which I unashamedly knew every single word to. I...

Gossip Girl 5x12 - A Right Royal Debacle
Well I for one was suprised. After last week’s wail against the writers for their obvious & unshocking plot twists this week, well, I take it back. There’s some fire in the old engine after all.
Just when I was very ready to unleash a tirade of abuse and negativity against silly Serena and her silly askew morals and lacking sense of import, she finally came through. Now there...

The Vampire Diaries 3X12
I think the term you’re looking for is OMG!
What a doozy of an episode! Quick question…how does the Vampire Diaries continue to perfect perfection?! Choc full of juicy goodness it helped honourably hold the tradition of Season 3 fast becoming the best yet. It’s all good comments this week, all very good. Very, very good.
1) Okay it started with Bonnie, my least favourite...

Chance Harbor - Highest Teen Pregnancy Rate Ever
The Secret Circle 1X12 I must admit I’m not totally invested in these characters but this week’s was definitely one to watch - up there with that totally scary lake house & Faye in a bath tub of weeds.
Between Jake’s sexy, skulking return and the slitting of all those throats I was impressed - probably because Cassie wasn’t doing that weird eye/face thing she does...

Gossip Girl's Return: 5x11
After we’d all been counting the days till its return, waited with baited breath, squealed with excitement at the recap….that was a bit crap. Gah! I can hear the screams of complaints already for just saying that, but…come on it was. I am a HUGE Gossip Girl fan, obsessively and inappropriately invested in the characters catastrophic love lives but even I have to admit that...
