"90210" Season One Review

I had never seen the original Beverly Hills 90210 series, and so I thought I wouldn't enjoy the series. Turns out that you don't need to see the original series to love this spin-off show from it. All I knew from the original series was that Shannen Doherty (Brenda Walsh in original and spin-off series) was in it, and I love Shannen ever since I had seen Charmed where she played eldest sister witch Prudence Halliwell. It took a while before I got to watching this series, but nonetheless, I finally watched it.
.
The series may not be the best, but it has its own uniqueness, and deserves better ratings than it had been getting. I am still unsure on a favourite character, as all characters have their own quality, and the series got better as it got going. Jennie Garth was also in the original series as Kelly Taylor, and reprises her role in this series, becoming a more prominent character than Brenda Walsh, who I adore.
.
One of my favourite episodes is Off the Rails, beforehand Silver was getting out of hand and uncontrollable with her love for Dixon, and going a bit loop-de-loo, but Silver was so great. It was very dramatic and quite a turn for the series, which had seen parties and fun being more prominent before. The finale was also amazing, again one of the best finales of 2009, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for Annie when Naomi's sister planted her wrap in Naomi's room, and Naomi's sister slept with Naomi's boyfriend, Liam, leaving Annie's wrap in the room so Naomi immediately suspected Annie to have slept with Liam, and doesn't know that it wasn't her and it was in fact her own sister. Naomi confronts Annie in front of everyone in the party (Annie had been accused for selling out someone else's party at the Prom, and people turned on her for it, even though she didn't) and poor Annie had abuse shouted at her from people at the party as well as Naomi, and even some horrible boy throws water or punch in Annie's face which was completely out of order. Poor Annie broke down.
.
I can't wait to see Season 2, to see how Annie develops from a fun, loving young girl to a turned bullied student who will have nothing short of abuse coming her way from every student at school, it's so horrible to Annie, yet so compelling for the viewer.

"Lost" Season Five Review

Best Season Yet. I am seriously in love with this series now. The finale was just the best finale yet, and I absolutely adored the whole series, and in my opinion, the best series in the 2008-2009 season, I have really grown to love Lost profoundly.
.
I wish I watched the series sooner, and I passed judgment on it before I even seen an episode and I shouldn't have. But now that I have seen it all so far, I am very glad I changed my opinion and decided to watch the series. It was quite a confusing season with the whole time-travelling fiascos, but I definetly enjoyed it. And poor Charlotte, when she died I felt sorry fo her, as I do when everyone on the show dies.
.
I loved how all the pieces started to connect, like the Dharma Initiative was explored more and Faraday's mother, which was quite a shocking surprise when she killed him in the past and never knew who he was. When I was losing interest with Lost from last season, this season sure picked up the series and took it to a whole new level of amazement, and I can't repeat myself enough when I say I love it.
.
Now the finale. The finale was fantastic. The huge build up was intense, and the whole episode shone from the whole season. It was the finale that made Season 5 the best for me. Now I am a huge Juliet fan, and I love her to bits, and when the chains wrapped around her and dragged her down the huge hole, I was devastated, I thought she was dead, and I was in tears. Then in the last minute, it shows that she isn't dead, and the bomb that they threw down there before hadn't exploded. So Juliet detonates the bomb, leaving the series on a huge cliffhanger, and Season 6 cannot come fast enough, I definetly need my Lost fix.

Grey's Anatomy 5.24- Now Or Never

Best Season Finale Ever.

.

I was literally stunned at how amazing this episode was. I didn't follow season five on time because I had yet to see season four, being in the UK it really is messed up, the DVD isn't even out yet. So I bought the Region 1 versions and watched Season 4, so I could finally watch Season 5. Season 4 was great, I thorougly enjoyed it.

.

Grey's Anatomy is slowly creeping up to be my favourite show because Season 5 was incredible. Honestly, from the very first episode to the shocking finale, I seriously consider Grey's Anatomy to be the best show of 2008-2009 out of all shows I have seen so far. One part I particularly enjoyed was when they had to do the Kidney domino procedure. When Meredith dropped the kidney, I was stunned. It was such a simple thing but it shocked me.

.

What I loved most about the season is the question whether Izzie lives or dies. I feel so sorry for her, she lived through a lot this year. And I was so pleased with the finale, it was the best season finale yet. One thing that shocked me was George. I did not expect John Doe to be him. When Meredith realized was when I realized and my mouth fell to the floor.

.

Then Izzie! She got passed the surgery, got short term memory loss, then she remembers everything, and then she just goes unconscious! Now I don't know whether George dies or Izzie lives, or if Izzie dies and George lives, or if they both live, or if they both die. I am so looking forward to the season six premiere now, which will be on Thursday September 24, 2009.

.

Altogether an excellent season finale, with the best cliffhanger of 2009 finales!

Supernatural 4.22- Lucifer Rising

Now this was a season finale worth waiting for.

I began watching Supernatural over a year now and it has grown to be one of my favourite television shows of all time as I love horror stuff and urban legends and what Supernatural is basically all about. It's like a darker version of Charmed but instead of 3 sisters there are 2 brothers fighting evil.

I love the name for starters, it like connects with the first episode of the season (Lazarus Rising). The whole season [four] has been building up to this, and I loved the whole 666 seals but only 66 have to be broken and it seems like an impossible mission. There is one seal left, and Sam doesn't know what it is.

The fight between Sam and Dean in the previous episode was pretty intense, but it was quite good to see, now the brothers seem to be fighting each other as well as the evil that threaten their lives- Dean has sided with Castiel and the Angels, as Sam has sided with Ruby, a demon. I really was stunned to find that Ruby was actually manipulating Sam all this time to get him to break the final seal, and I preferred Katie Cassidy's portrayal of Ruby rather than Genevieve Cortese, but Genevieve is still a great actress.

I think the final shot could have been done better. What I was hoping for was the viewers to see Lucifer actually rise from Hell, looking all ugly and creepy and downright scary and saying a quirky witty line that symbolizes, of course, the apocolypse. Instead the screen went all white and that was the end of the season.

Cliffhangers have been quite weak for most shows this 2008-2009 television season. But overall, I loved the finale, and the whole season in general.

Ghost Whisperer 4.23- Book of Changes

It seems that the television season finales this year have been a little disappointing, and I have to say I love Ghost Whisperer, but the finale was disappointing.

The first thing I hated was Eli James. All season he has been in the spotlight and I really don't like him, I think he kinda ruined the season for me, but all in all, I did enjoy season four. Now the finale should have been about Melinda and Jim, and the beginning and end were about them 2, but unfortunatly the whole middle, which was most of the episode, Eli had more lines than Melinda, Jim, Delia and Ned combined.

The second thing that really made me disappointed is that it had no usual cliffhanger. The cliffhanger in season one was Romano creeping up behind Andrea's spirit (love Andrea, I miss her so much), and the second season finale's cliffhanger was Melinda having died was resurrected and reveals she has a brother- Gabriel. And season three's cliffhanger (which is my favourite season thus far) had the six characters but only five shadows. Was one of them dead? Was one of them going to die? These things make me gag for the next season, but I'm not looking forward to Season 5 as much as I would be if I had of been left on a cliffhanger.

But, the positives are the fact that ANDREA MARINO was mentioned and her name was seen in the Book of Changes. I am so thrilled that they included her (I asked Aisha Tyler if Andrea was coming back, she told me she had no plans with Ghost Whisperer at the minute). At the end when all the spirits appear to attend Melinda's and Sam's wedding, I have in my mind that one of them was Andrea, it isn't confirmed or anything, but I like to think she was there.

And also the ending was really heartwarming with Melinda and Sam's wedding, it was such a sweet way to end. But I didn't want sweet, I wanted creepy cliffhanger!!

Desperate Housewives 5.24- If It's Only In Your Head

Is it just me, or am I not the only one who loved the season five finale?

I have heard a lot of complaints about season five, and I've complained a lot too, Desperate Housewives is kind of losing that flair that I originally fell in love with in season one. The show has changed so much in five years, and it has its positives and its negatives.

Desperate Housewives is my favourite show, and thus far Season 4 is my favourite out of the 5 seasons that have aired. 'Bang' remains to be my favourite all-time episode, I mean, who doesn't love that intense hostage situation with Lynette being the hero and Susan with her hostage-exchange, and Gabby and Carlos's fight.

But getting on topic, season 5 hasn't been the best it could be. We said goodbye to Edie Britt in 'Look Into Their Eyes and You See What They Know' and I absolutely adore Edie, I am really gonna miss her a lot, and I feel sad that she had to depart in a not-so-great season. But when I saw her in the first half of the 2-hour season finale, it really made my day, and its sad to think that Edie's small cameo was my main highlight of the finale.

I did love the first part as well, and I loved the second part, and I adored the Susan/Dave/MJ scenes, they were intense, and Edie coming back for less than a minute was just the cherry (pardon the pun, unintentional) on the cake.

I am intrigued about Ana, the way they introduce her mystery was sloppy though with the two women talking, but I have high hopes for season 6, and I am soo glad Gabby is gonna get the mystery spotlight this season.

I was loving the Brarl thing tonight, but Orson was pulling an Edie in blackmailing Bree, it's been done before, but I feel sorry for Bree this time, because she is in a really difficult position, I hope she gets through it.

Lynette, I found her funny in the episodes, and I was shocked to find out she was having twins, I was like "oh no" but in a good way, because I can imagine what they can do with her character now.

And I don't like Katherine, but I felt sooo sorry for her in the airport when Mike left, I know I sometimes wish she would get her heartbroken and I would laugh at her expense, but Dana is too good of an actress, she really made me feel sorry for Katherine that I couldn't laugh, I wanted to give her a hug, and Season 6 will be a new slate for me, I am erasing the Season 5 Katherine from my mind and I am giving her a fresh new start, I know she can be better, and I hope the writers catch on, if she comes back being bitchy, then I know I will love her

Overall, not the best cliffhanger, but I really think its Katherine, she wouldn't feel Mike pulling away from her if they weren't together, so I am more than postitive it's Katherine, the kiss between Mike and Susan could have just been heat of the moment, and tell each other that it shouldnt happen again, and try to move on, and Mike marries Katherine as he promised, and then he's gonna feel like he's made a mistake and start pulling away and realize he is madly in love with Susan.

But Edie coming back was my main highlight, and I'm very sad that Season 5 is over, and I'm quite sad that the middle of the season was a little messy, season 6 will bring the standard back up, I can just feel it.
