Once Upon A Time - 2x05 The Doctor

  • Personally, I thought this was one of the better episodes of this sophomore slump season. Maybe because there was less cheesinesswith less scenes of Snow and Prince Charming? I used to love them but they're getting annoying with their virtues. Also any episode with less Henry is a good episode. That kid is the worst.
  • I had high hopes for Daniel coming back alive. If he could come back alive then there was a chance the Huntsman could come back! The show has gone downhill with the loss of Jamie Dornan and his come-and-go accent.
  • I'm so used to seeing Noah Bean on Nikita as a CIA agent. It's hilarious watching him be a posessed monster.

The Amazing Race - 21x05 Chill Out, Freak: Leg 5 - Dhaka, Bangladesh
  • The Sri Lankan girls are quickly becoming my favourites. Twinee! You two can continue annoying all the other teams with your constant cheering. I find it hilarious.
  • I really don't know why everyone chose to carry the bamboo. I would have went with the jute whipping and clearly it was the faster Road Block option.
  • I think I can cross off Bangladesh from my travel wishlist. There's no way I could survive there. Heat + dirtiness + massive crowds of people = no thanks

Revenge - 2x05 Forgiveness
  • Jennifer Jason Leigh has become one of those actresses I instantly hate. I blame Weeds. I have a feeling the same thing is going to happen with me and Margarita Levieva. I can't stand Fauxmanda Clarke.
  • Can Nolan please get a happy story? Don't screw him over Padma! (PS. Yay for GREEK alum, Dilshad Vadsaria!)
  • I'm ready for Mason Treadwell to stir up some trouble in the Hamptons.

The Walking Dead - 3x03 Walk With Me
  • I can't decide whether or not I like this Woodbury setting. If it's going to mean more talking episodes and Andrea making dumb decisions, then I'm against it. Just kill some more zombies please.
  • And an episode with no Norman Reedus will always be a bad episode. More dirty sexy Daryl please.

The Good Wife - 4x05 Waiting for the Knock
  • Wee-Bey and Bodie! The Wire reunion! Too bad they didn't have any scenes together.
  • I love Kalinda but this whole storyline with her ex-husband is getting real dull. Stop distracting her, go back to Canada, and let Kalina be her usual bad-ass self again. Too bad I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.
  • I wish they would have a different type of scandal for Peter besides him sleeping with another woman. It gets old.

666 Park Avenue - 1x05 A Crowd of Demons
  • Preyzbylewski! I didn't realize how much I missed The Wire.
  • Brian needs to tell his wife the truth about Alexis and get her fired. She annoys me. But then again, he annoys me too. Robert Buckley is a good looking dude but man, he's such a loser on this show.
  • Vanessa Williams needs a better storyline than just being the wife to John Locke Gavin Doran. Do people not remember the awesomeness of Wilhemina Slater? She can do better than this!
  • I'm ready for 666 to start explaining some stuff. I still don't really understand who or what Gavin is. Is he the devil? Or does he work for the devil? Did they explain this before and I just missed it?
  • And the basement! It's been bothering me since the first episode. Why would a fancy building have the SCARIEST laundry room in the basement?? It's dark, there's flickering lights, and hidden rooms filled with creepy objects like a suitcase filled with a GHOST (or the black smoke followed John Locke, hehe). It's not like they don't have the cash to renovate.

Misfits ­- 4x01
  • The show just isn't the same anymore no matter how hard they try. I was okay when Nathan was off the show. I was devastated when Simon and Alisha were no longer returning. And now with Kelly gone too, all the best parts of Misfits are gone.
  • On the plus side, at least Seth returned. I don't know for how long though.
  • The two new characters did nothing for me. I didn't hate them but I don't care about them either. Next week's episode does look more interesting though. 

My Sunday has gotten ridiculous. I still haven't watched this week's episode of Downton Abbey and Homeland. I also need to catch up on Dexter. I watched the new episode of  Happy Endings but it doesn't air until Wednesday in the US so I won't put up any spoilers.


I have, in the past, noticed that the Game of Thrones title sequence gives viewers clues about which parts of the land the episode involves. How so? Well, as I was initially trying to clear my confusion of who belongs where and where all the kingdoms were in relation to one another, I couldn't help but notice the inconsistency of the introductions for each episode (slightly frustrating actually). One day it dawned on me that the map for each episode differs according to the episode itself! I think it's pretty cool when shows do that, and I'm not going to lie but I gave myself a tiny pat on the back for noticing it.

Well, cheers to finding another! I have been behind on Once Upon a Time and am only getting around to catching up on it now. I couldn't help but notice the subtle clue that the title scene gives regarding which fairytale character(s) they will focus on in the episode! It almost makes me want to watch the title sequences for all the old episodes again just to see what I missed seeing before.

Actually, it's probably not that subtle of a thing and everyone else probably noticed or knew about it already. However, I seriously find things like this highly amusing...as clearly demonstrated by my desire to write a post about it. Hmm, I wonder what other shows that do this kind of a thing - I'm sure there are plenty more. TV is so creative these days!


There's a generous amount of hot men on TV this year. Here's my list of guys that made me smile everytime they popped up on screen.


10. Lincoln Lee, Fringe (Seth Gabel)
I love both the confident Lincoln from the alternate universe and the dorky Lincoln from this universe. It's like getting the best of both worlds. I can't wait for everyone to start remembering who Peter is and for Olivia to fall in love with Peter again but I wouldn't mind if Lincoln and Olivia ended up together in at least one of the universes.


9. Jackson Avery, Grey's Anatomy (Jesse Williams)
If it weren't for Avery, I'm not sure I would still be watching Grey's Anatomy. I used to be a huge fan of Lexie and Mark being together but Avery was so happy with Lexie. It broke my heart when she broke up with him. How could she resist those gorgeous eyes of his? And those abs...


8. Silas Botwin, Weeds (Hunter Parrish)
Ever since Silas cut his hair, my interest in Weeds increased. Silas doesn't always make the smartest decisions but at least he's pretty to look at. Plus, the fact that Hunter Parrish can sing makes him so much more attractive. I'm still bitter that he didn't perform the day I saw Spring Awakening in NYC.


7. Prince Charming/David Nolan, Once Upon A Time (Josh Dallas)
Who can resist Prince Charming? He's like the perfect gentleman! And Josh Dallas has a way of lighting up the screen. It's impossible to resist his charm. I've seen this scene of David and Mary Margaret so many times and every time at 1:20 when he smiles, I smile.


6. Tyler Lockwood, Jeremy Gilbert, Matt Donovan, The Vampire Diaries (Michael Trevino, Steven R. McQueen, Zach Roerig)
Forget Stefan and Damon. I'm all for the supporting actors on the show. Jeremy got super hot over the summer and I demand more screen time of Tyler and Matt. I'm bored with the love triangle between Elena and the Salvatore brothers.


5. Will Gardner and Cary Agos, The Good Wife (Josh Charles and Matt Czuchry)
Will has this swagger and charm, it's hard not to like him. And Cary has the face of the boy next door. I really miss the days when Cary worked at Lockhart/Gardner. Can we go back to Season 1 when the office was filled with sexual tension?

4. Sheriff Graham/The Huntsman, Once Upon A Time (Jamie Dornan)
Boy's got a beautiful face; there's a reason why he was a model. I refuse to believe that he's died on Once Upon A Time. It's a fantasy show; he has to come back somehow! He's just too pretty to be killed off.



3. Ben Epstein, How To Make It In America (Bryan Greenberg)
Ben is absolutely adorable and such a good friend who's always trying to do the right thing. You can't help but root for the guy. It sucks that the show got cancelled just as it looked like Crisp was about to find some success in the fashion world. Find another TV show please, Bryan Greenberg!

 

2. Harvey Specter, Suits (Gabriel Macht)
I didn't expect to rank him so high but the more pictures of Harvey Specter that I looked at, the more I found myself wishing Suits could come back faster. I've always been a sucker for a confident man who can wear a suit well.


1. Steve McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0 (Alex O'Loughlin)
Not really a huge surprise that he's number one on my list. He's the highlight of my Monday nights. I like my guys rugged and manly. Surprisingly, I like his American accent more than his native Australian accent.


The last thing I needed was another new show, especially on Sundays which somehow have become my busiest TV day. The commercials for Once Upon A Time looked pretty cheesy but I figured there was no harm in recording it (I don't know how I ever survived without PVR; seriously, it's awesome). I was too busy to watch the pilot when it aired but my mom did and she liked it! My mom is so critical when it comes to new shows! I watched it this morning and I'm so glad I recorded it. I know it's only been one episode but I'm already really excited for the next episode and that's always a good thing.

I love the way they've incorporated different fairytale characters in a modern world. I can't wait for more of them to be revealed. The best part of the episode was seeing Prince Charming in a sword fight while carrying his baby in his arms! I don't know why but I could not stop laughing, hahaha. And I can already tell that I'm going to love the storyline between Mary (Snow White) and John (Prince Charming).

Watch it! Sundays @ 7pm on CTV or 8pm on ABC.
