Vampire Diaries
Well, we were waiting for the big Vampire Diaries prom episode and it didn't disappoint. Stefan and Damon were hoping that their hotness, the cheesy photos and the emotions one feels at a prom would help to turn Elena's humanity back on. Elena stole Caroline's Prom dress because she's still a nasty evil b*tch without her emotions. Caroline was freaking when she found herself Prom dressless 5 minutes before Prom so she headed to Klaus for something he might have and of course he had an even better dress that required no alterations at all. Didn't you find it quite a coincidence that of all the students in Mystic Falls attending the Prom, only images of our beloved pals appeared on all the video screens? Also convenient was how every time our buds were near one of the screens, their own photos popped up. I need me one of those things. Anyway, Rebekah convinced Elijah to give her the cure and he agreed, but only if she could live Prom without any of her Vampire superpowers. No compelling a date, no use of force to be voted Prom Queen...nothing. She managed quite nicely until Elena bit April and Matt begged Rebekah to "do the right thing" and give April her blood so she wouldn't die. The good news is that Rebekah does have a heart (well, not really) and saved April even though it jeopardized her shot at a normal life. It didn't matter though because Silas, looking like Rebekah, tricked Elijah and left with the cure. Two of our faves came back for Prom, one real, one not. I warned you that Jeremy would be back, but in body only since Silas used him to mess with Bonnie, and mess with her he did. Bonnie got Silas to show his disgusting face just as the credits took it over at the end of the episode. It was quick, but for a moment I thought it was Voldemort from Harry Potter. Also back to check out how good Bonnie looked and give her the best Prom ever: Tyler. Flowers, dancing, some smooching and then he had to get back to disappearing, but Klaus caught him on his way outta dodge, but let him split because of his "thing" for Caroline. Not sure at all how Bonnie and Matt got voted Prom King and Queen when both of them rarely go to school, but congrats to them. Katherine called and told Klaus he better get his hot butt to New Orleans and hook up with some chick named Jane so that's how THE SPINOFF begins. Next week, a sneak peak at THE ORIGINALS. Of course I'm checking that one out. Loved that version of The Cure's "Pictures of You" BTW...gotta download it when I have a chance.Glee Who knew there was a University of Lima? I had no idea. Apparently you don't need to take SAT's, write an essay or wait til the new semester to get in either. Puck's was just living in a dorm, partying without his mohawk, when Finn coincidentally walks right in to find him as his roommate. Yeah RIGHT! Ridiculous. Nene Leakes was back to take Sue's place and while I find her freaky to look at, she is really good as the AA Sue. Loved her new name for Blaine...Fruity Fonzie, classic. Rachel was going crazy trying to decide what song to sing for her Funny Girl audition when her Mom/Idina Menzel, found her, "Next To Me" and inspired her to go old school. Back to the first episode actually, Journey's "Don't Stop Believing'. Everyone in the Glee club had a bit of PTSD since last weeks shooting, especially Sam who had seemed to go all Cybil with his split personality, Evan Evans who wore glasses and had a British accent. He seemed to be cold most of the episode since his headlights were on for most of it. Throw the kid a sweater or something. Anyway the kids were pissed at Mr. Shu after he chose Dream Weaver, Sweet Dreams Are Made of This and You Make My Dreams Come True for Regionals. These songs are 20 years old or more, and Marli didn't even know them. Of course Marli had 2 amazing songs written that were perfect. "You Have More Friends Than You Know" and "Outkast". Two cheesy -be yourself and everything will be alright- anthems. Embarrassed to admit that I loved them both, but I did and so did Mr. Shu. He and Finn also made up and agreed to work as a team to prep for regionals.
Parks & Rec Episode 1
Both episodes of Parks and Rec last night were hilarious and brilliant. I freaking love his show. It's so hard to talk about it when it's over each week, because you just can't understand how funny and amazingly written it is unless you watch it. During the filming of this episode, guest star Patton Oswalt was given carte blanche to say/do whatever he wanted for a filibuster scene. His 8 minute uncut, unedited diatribe, a pilot idea for the new Star Wars, was so incredible that it went viral prior to the show airing. If you haven't seen it, here it is in its entirety: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BBhNkywMJY. In addition to Patton's brilliance, Ron and April were subjected to Katumps or CTMTS, the Chris Trager Management Training Seminar. Chris's first lesson was motivation. Of course Chris's ideas on motivation were grounded in support and positivity, while Ron's were stemmed in hunger and fear. A Jerry experiment to determine which motivation method was more effective was necessary. Net/net, Jerry filed more of Ron's folders BUT they were all filed wrong because he was so nervous. In the middle of all of this lunacy, Ann Perkins was bidding against Tall Tyrion Lannister, aka Ben Wyatt on a waffle iron to give to Leslie for the anniversary of the first time they ate waffles/had breakfast together. This gave Donna the chance to fill Ann in on Game of Thrones and the Lannisters. When Ann didn't win the bid, she made a Leslie Knope replica out of breakfast food that included a bacon skirt! A bacon skirt...you know you'd want one!
In the second episode of the show, Leslie and I were completely caught off guard with Jerry's retirement announcement, but apparently he'd been alerting all of his co-workers for 2 years of his pending retirement. Leslie felt so bad that the team didn't give Jerry a big send and that he hadn't achieved any of his goals that she headed to his house to give him a special day. Jerry, his wife, Christie Brinkley and their 3 daughters were just sitting down to "Eggs, Bacon and Toast" and invited Leslie to join them, but they made her sing the song first. We rewound 3 times and I'm still singing it this AM. I can't find the video, or I'd have it for you. After breakfast they headed out to try and check off all of the items on Jerry's wish list. Chris and Ann Perkins were in baby making mode. After hearing that he was the healthiest person to ever be examined and that he had the heart rate of a 100 year old tortoise, it was time to get going. Then the weirdness began. Awkwardness led to making out, which I was waiting for. Lucky Rashida Jones. Back at the offices, once Jerry left, Tom became the new Jerry which he HATED! Tom got an intern in hopes he could be the new Jerry, but that didn't work out, so Ron, being the amazing guy he is, brought Jerry back as the intern! See, you knew Jerry wasn't going anywhere. Now he'll be around and NOT getting paid! So Jerry.
NEWS & INFORMATION:
-For any of you that were REALLY upset that Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23 was abruptly taken off the air, good news. The eight unaired episodes will be available on Hulu, ABC.com and Itunes starting 5/17. If you are even thinking of watching these, I have a ton of other better recommendations for you. Just let me know, happy to help.
-ABC is changing the order of two of its Castle episodes as the one slated for 4/22 involved one of the characters stepping on a bomb. So in light of the Boston Marathon bombing and all of this lunacy, a little sensitivity is the right way to go.
- The Time 100 was released yesterday. While my FBFF/FTSH , Jimmy Fallon was named to the pretty prestigious list, I'm embarrassed to say that upon reviewing the list 3 times, I only knew 29 of the people on it. Look, I'm a TV blogger, wife, mother etc. Without Google, I'd have no idea that Palaniappan Chidambaram is India's Minister of Finance. Do normal people know this stuff? Give me the People Magazine Sexiest Man Alive list instead. For those of you curious on the other 98 people on the list, check it out here: Let me know how much of a loser I am if you know more than 30 of these people WITHOUT GOOGLING THEM! http://time100.time.com/
-The upcoming 8th season of Dexter will officially be its last. I've never seen Dexter but I've always wanted to. Now that I know the end is in sight, it will give me motivation to catch up on the past 7 seasons. I better go on vacation, that's when I do my best binge viewing.
