Loved, loved, loved it. I know I seem to like anything these days, but Melrose is a new series I am really getting my teeth stuck in to. I might have to watch the original series too, when I have the time.
.
For my favourite character? Currently I am torn between Riley and Ella, both are great and different to each other. The episode furthered the characters and fleshed them out a bit more, which is what I always like to see. I love knowing more about the characters because then I will be able to feel emotions for them whenever they are happy, sad, angry etc. So is this a show I will buy on DVD? You bet'cha!
.
Episode 2 is a step up from the first episode. It felt more relaxed and chilled and I love watching relaxing shows. I loved the Ella storyline, trying to get a client for the firm she works out to ensure she keeps her job, and the struggle to get one was quite funny to watch. I still have to remember names of all the characters so I probably won't talk about all of them. Last episode I thought Auggie murdered Sydney (?) but now I am not so sure, he seems to be more likeable this episode. Violet is also developing too, into both a sexy character to a dark and wierd character. The episode showed 2 sides of Violet, and my opinion of her is unclear at the moment.
.
Melrose Place can balance comedy and drama perfectly, so its a show I will remain faithful to until its end.
What I love most about 90210 is that it is simply brilliant for a teen drama. It has drama alright, and enough flair that could carry on for a few more seasons. I'll jump right in.
.
I always thought people could never be manipulated, as there have never been good examples, but this 90210 episode proved me wrong, and with amazing results. When Jen manipulated a doubtful Naomi to send the sext of Annie around school, I was sitting calling Jen all the names under the sun, and it was the best ever manipulation I've ever seen. When Annie begged Naomi to not send the text, it was in that moment of desperation I realize Annie is broken and will never be fixed. There will always be broken shards inside Annie, she has been through so much.
.
This episode showed us the old Silver, someone who sticks up for her friends no matter what. When Silver walked up to Annie at the end when everyone got the sext, it just made me realize how much I love Silver, what a truly amazing character. And Adriana too, I hope she finds out it was Naomi who sent it around, then Adriana will form alliance with Annie and Silver and then Naomi will be forced to go on her hands and knees and beg for forgiveness.
.
A great episode, perfect, this season is shaping up to be better than season 1 already.
Watching One Tree Hill without Peyton and Lucas made me realize- the show will not make it past Season 7. Besides P and L not being in the episode, or the rest of the series, the show has got quite boring, and both Hilarie Burton and Chad Michael Murray got out just in time to save themselves the effort, there was no point in making a 7th season. There is little to no drama, and it's become way too dream-oriented.
.
There are only so many times I can watch an episode without throwing something at the screen because someone is singing. This episode it was Haley, and though I love Haley, I am sick to death of hearing singing in every single episode from Season 5 onwards. And you could totally tell she was lip-synching.
.
Brooke was always always my favourite character ever since Season 1, but with Julian, she is so... boring. She's lost that spark she had a few seasons ago and now she has just fizzled into a dull character. The best character in the episode? Millicent! And she was only in it for a total of about 2 minutes! James Lafferty's acting is getting wooden, and the whole basketball thing is just getting right on my nerves, I genuinely think the writers are struggling with writing for the show- please don't make a Season 8 unless P and L come back!
.
Not the worst episode in the whole series, and it was an okay episode, and it did have its moments, but on a whole I don't think it could survive past this season, and I expect the ratings to drop fast. Could have been worse, could have been better, nonetheless, I will still watch the rest of the season to see what it has to offer.
Now this is a show I know I will love this season. From the very first episode, I knew the CW had another classic hit series. With an amazing 4.84 million viewers tuning in for the premiere, I was genuinely pleased I watched it as soon as I could. The very first scene was filled with horror, and something Supernatural has been lacking lately. It immediately drew me in, and it's one of my favourite Pilot episodes of every show I watch.
.
The character of Elena is someone I can identify with, she is amazingly acted and easily likeable. Her friend, Bonnie, is also a great character, someone I am intrigued about, especially that freaky moment in the Pilot when she grabbed the bottle and had that vision thing and it kind of freaked me out- I LOVED IT! And finally, a male character I like. It's rare for me to really like male characters, and besides Dean Winchester, I really like Stefan, he seems very protective of Elena.
.
Damon is a strange character, but very exciting to watch him develop. He seems to be a great villain and he will definetly generate more scary scenes in upcoming episodes, and it's strange because even though Ian Somerhalder played Boone in Lost, he kind of looks really different when playing Damon, and sounds quite different too, he definetly makes the character his own, bravo!
.
A series I will be watching every week til its finale, I recommend new fans to watch for sure, it's completely breath-taking.
Supernatural ended last season with a great cliffhanger- Lucifer Rising! They had an amazing concept and I was soo excited for Season 5. Even though I loved, loved, loved the episode, "Sympathy for the Devil" was a little disappointing. I wasn't very disappointed, and I still gave the episode a 10, there was just a few things I realized while watching.
.
The show is called Supernatural? There isn't anything supernatural about it anymore. We've had the Angels storyline for a year now, and it's getting old and boring. There is nothing creative about Supernatural, as every single Angel looks like a human, and now the Devil does- where is the creativity in that? Demons and Angels look exactly the same, and the only difference is Demons sometimes get black eyes- wow! The show isn't scary anymore either, it's relying too heavily on Dean's sarcasm as comedy for the show to still be successful- I want the scares back.
.
The episode was great, no doubt about it, and I got a surprise when Bobby attacked Dean, so I was glad that happened. I did feel a little sorry for Sam since he was the one who made Lillith die and opened Hell, but it was by accident, so I can't really blame him too much.
While Melrose Place may never ever be my favourite show, I can safely say I did enjoy the pilot episode. The mystery is intriguing and some of the characters are likeable, though I keep forgetting their names, it takes me a while to remember names in various television shows, so I'll mainly talk about the show in general.
.
I've never seen the original Melrose Place, though after watching the pilot of this show, it does make me want to watch the original series. It will take me a while to watch it though as I am swamped with other television shows to watch, new and old, and even lots of shows to catch up on, such as the CSI series and Beverly Hills, 90210.
.
Riley, so far, is my favourite character, though Ella is definetly a strong character who I take a liking too. I don't know why but with every show I always like the female characters more than the male characters, I guess the writers just make the females more likeable for some reason.
.
The story was good, and I am really excited about the mystery, and I know I will be drawin in for the rest of the series as I love 'Whodunit' types of thing so this will be a series worth watching for me. Unfortunatly, the series only premiered with 2.30 million viewers, so I hope viewership picks up as the episodes go along.
After watching the finale of Season 1 for "90210", I was left hooked. I really didn't expect that 90210 would fall into my good graces, but left with the cliffhanger of who Annie ran over made me want to watch the Season 2 premiere episode, and even the Annie v Naomi storyline is something I looked forward to for the coming season. I have a feeling Season 2 will be the best season yet, and the premiere episode for the second season proved exactly why I thought that.
.
Though Annie is hardly in the episode as much as Naomi or Silver or Adriana, I found her character getting a sudden change from a happy-go-lucky girl to a dark and guarded lonely girl who can't seem to trust anyone, and I loved watching that contrast. Even though Naomi is a huge bitch, she is definetly one of the best bitches I've ever seen and I can't imagine the show without her, she is an anchor for it, and makes the show a lot more interesting.
.
Silver was quite funny in the episode also, especially with Naomi's and Silver's first meeting of the new guy, Teddy, who I don't really like to begin with. Silver and Dixon's relationship is on the rocks thanks to him telling Dixon about Silver and Ethan, but then again, I don't like Dixon, so Silver could do a lot better anyway. Then we have Adriana, who wasn't as much of a main as the others last season, but she rose to prominense in this episode as she interacted more with more of the cast, and she is truly a beautiful rose. Navid is okay, I don't really have much of an opinion about him, all he seems to want is sex, and it's kind of getting boring for him.
.
Naomi was probably the best in this episode, she was definetly featured a lot more than the others, and the ending with her finding that naked video of Annie on some boy's phone will make a great next episode, I just hope Naomi finds out that Annie did not sleep with Liam before she goes too far.
.
Overall, amazing return episode, gets a perfect 10 from me. It definetly deserved higher ratings than it got, which it got only 2.56 million viewers, americans, tune in!!

Hopefully College won't make me too busy enough to not be able to keep up with these shows, like it did last year, so here's to hoping.
.
Loved, loved, loved it. I know I seem to like anything these days, but Melrose is a new series I am really getting my teeth stuck in to. I might have to watch the original series too, when I have the time.
