The Vampire Diaries
Didn't you feel like we got 2 mini Vampire Diaries episodes for the price of one? In part one, Damon and Elena were trying to jog Stefan's memory and rid him of his amnesia. It didn't work on Stefan but it worked on me. I'd forgotten that I liked when Stefan and Elena were together, but just as I found myself psyched for them to kiss, I was equally as happy that Elena stopped the presses and reminded us all that she's with Damon. Great for Elena, great for all of us, not so great for Stefan. Matt put camera's all over the place to try to figure out what's happening to him and lo and behold there's some Russian dude inside him who might kill him if he doesn't guard a knife. Caroline got Jessie into some trouble, gave him some vampire blood and now I'm not sure what's going to happen to him, but that professor isn't what he claims to be.(they never are). That's all the stuff that happened before Jeremy (who started off the show with a shirtless workout-thank you writers) told everyone the truth about Bonnie being dead and had the saddest funeral for her in the woods. Luckily for Bonnie, she could attend and deliver some messages to her buds. Gotta admit, I did get a little teary. I felt bad for Matt though. I mean, even though she's dead, Bonnie had Jeremy. Tyler showed up for Caroline and Elena had Damon but Matt had nobody except the freaky Russian dude living inside his skin. Pooooor Matt!
Reign
For someone who has so many enemies, Mary sure spends a ton of time on her own around the castle. If I feared for my life all the time, I'd make sure I was never alone, that way nobody could kill me or poison me or kidnap me ever, but for someone who seems so smart, Mary isn't thinking straight. I'd never leave Francis's side, well maybe to hang out with Sebastian, but Francis has better hair. It's always the Mother-in-Law isn't it? Mary's not even married to Francis and his Mom is her enemy. At least Francis's eyes are wide open on all fronts. He even called his mom out which was cool. Aside from all that, the King isn't into his wife or his mistress, he now is pretty into one of Mary's hand maidens big time. All of it goes on under one roof. Sure it's a huge roof that covers a million rooms, but I guess the King's ego is as big as the castle. Bummer about Colin. I mean we thought he was beheaded, but he apparently escaped into the woods which turned out to be a bad idea since something in the woods sacrificed him and hung him naked and upside down from a tree. Sucks when beheading would have been a better way to go no?
Scandal
I could write and write and write about Scandal. Damn it's good. REALLY good. It's not Breaking Bad good put it's close to Friday Night Lights good. I know a lot of you watch and a lot of you watch it live, but again I struggle with spoiler alerts and stuff, so stop reading if you haven't seen last nights episode yet. Okay...now, for those of you that did, I don't even know where to begin. Sure the Anthony Weiner senator case was interesting, but didn't you have a feeling it was his wife, Jan from The Office? I did, so that part wasn't as interesting as this whole B613 thing. I think we know now that Operation Remmington involved the President, Jake and Iran and I'm guessing that something went terribly wrong. Of course too many people are involved. We've got Huck, Jake, Cyrus, Pete Foster,and Olivia's dad. Huck's still using AA to get it all off his chest, but Quinn wants him to use her instead. Problem is, Huck's right, Quinn is INTERESTED and thinks she wants to be like Huck. Can't she see what has happened to him, what she could turn into? Loved Mellie getting caught spouting insults into a live mic. Love that Lisa Kudrow will probably be in more episodes of the show as the Presidents competition, love James and Cyrus too, but I love the Fitz/Jake/Olivia triangle more than all of it. I mean we LOOOOOVE Olivia and Fitz right? We love them together, but I also enjoy her with Jake who had the best line of the night about Olivia, "you're the daughter of the man that runs the top secret organization that made your friend kill a man for some reason having to do with your ex boyfriend the president". Right after he said that line, the ex-boyfriend called, and interrupted things. When Fitz realized Olivia had company, he hung up and went to see...dun dun dun...Olivia's dad. O.M.G. Is it next Thursday yet?

NEWS & INFORMATION:
-I cannot believe that Conan O'Brien is celebrating 20 years in late night. I remember when he entered the arena and we were all like "WHO???" and of course now it's 20 years later. OMG. Anyway, as part of the celebration, Conan's inviting fans to vote on things like best Conan character, Best Guest, Best Desk Bit etc. I gotta be honest, I like Conan but I've never really watched his show. For those of you that do...here's the link to vote. http://teamcoco.com/conan20-poll
-USA renewed Suits for a 4th season. That's all I got on that one.
-If you're into marathons, you can catch a Brofest and Girl Code one this weekend on MTV
-Apparently someone feels that Murder She Wrote should be dusted off, cleaned up and remade but this time around it will be Octavia Spencer solving crimes and not Angela Lansbury. First a colorized I Love Lucy and now a new Murder She Wrote. Is it a full moon or something?
-I'm a huge TiVO person as you guys know. I have the TiVO stream, but I don't have the new Roamio. Maybe Santa will get it for me. The Roamio would allow me to watch live and recorded shows via any wifi connection. That's pretttty cool right?
-Everyone keeps saying that Facebook's over and nobody's using it. Maybe the younger demo isn't, but 64% of adults in the United States are using it regularly and 30% get their news from it. SO it's still a pretty powerful social media platform. Just thought I would mention it. I guess I need to justify my usage and pretend I'm still cool.
