New TV Obsession: Jane the Virgin

Heyyo! Sorrry that I've been AWOL for awhile. But hey, no time like the present right?  This new TV Show has been a recent obsession of mine. I got hooked on it from the very first episode, because of my mom go figure, and I've been looking forward to the weekly episodes ever since. If you haven't seen the show, or you have and forgotten what it is about, then I suggest you go watch from the beginning. In not, here is a quick summary:  So Jane Villanueva was accidentally inseminated in the doctor's office when she went in for a PAP. And yeah. That is basically it. I don't want to tell you too much (I don't want to spoil the show!) so just go watch it!! Honestly, this show just gives me the gigantic feels. If you are not up to date then I suggest you exit out out of the window! For people who are just as effected by this show as me, then welcome :)  Here are some things that make this show awesome: it's humor, it's characters, the music, and of course... the love story. 
1) Michael, Rafael, and Jane the Virgin. For the six episodes leading up to Jane breaking up with Michael, yes that's right this is what I'm leading with, I had a feeling that Jachael were going to come to an end an Jafael were going to become a thing. I absolutely adored Michael though and thought that him and Jane were wonderful together. But... Rafael and Jane gave me more feels than Jachael. Plus, I'm pretty sure that Michael is hiding something pertaining to his brother. My mom insists that he can not be trusted. Michael, not his brother. Like I said before, in the last episode Jane broke up with Michael and Rafael finally made his move and kissed her. It was the perfect ending and rest assured I was squealing the whole time. 
2) Petra and her mother, who I hate. What the heck is up with Petra and her psycho mom??? When we found out the secret that Petra is doing everything she is doing to protect, the fact that her name is Natasha, I was surprised. Her mom, who is freaking crazy, apparently will do everything she can to make sure Petra stays married to Rafael because punching her and filing an assault charge? Really? I whooped in victory at Rafael's sassy-ness though. Taking away the water and air conditioning and power? Oh yeah!
3) Jane's family issues. Jane's father cracks me up. He goes to such great lengths to try and impress Jane, it's hilarious. The whole walking down the stairs super slowly made me laugh so much. Of course,  don't like all of her now extended family. Valeria and Victoria, the evil former stepsisters, are also characters that I wish I could strangle. The way they treated Jane was so awful. And their mom? Ugh, such a b*tch! The botox on her face made her look like a clown in the making. Like always, I have a lot on my mind from this show. I have so many things that I want to talk about, but I don't want to keep on writing this until I'm 25. So I'll leave you with this question. Do you like Jane with Michael or Rafael?

VAMPIRE DIARIES, Own Personal Hell

Ok, I swear this is the last post about a TV show before I finish and review Maze Runner. I cross my heart and hope not to die on the other side. ;)
So this was episode two of season 6 of the awesome series that is The Vampire Diaries. This show is just... hard to explain. Just trust me when I say that you should watch this. It never gets boring, there is always a twist at the end of every episode, and the characters are MEGA HOT. It's honestly one of the best shows out there.

Thing I want to talk about numero uno: Elena and her Heartbreaking Choice.
I hated that Elena wanted to go to such great lengths to erase the fact she loved Damon from her mind. Just no. It was sad to watch Alaric pick memories of Damon away from Elena and replace them with insignificant things. The time between the first episode and this one was a period of denial that she could do such a thing. I was convinced that she would chicken out at the last moment. But no, the Elena at the end was an Elena that didn't love Damon. It was also sad that all of her friends were on board to hide the truth from her. What happens when they bring Damon and Bonnie back and Elena is confused and hateful toward him?! If you ask me, there will most likely be some type of repercussion to altering her memory like that.

Numero dos: Stefan the Dick, according to Caroline and the World, and Enzo the Avenger.
I personally found the whole ordeal at dinner—between Stefan, Caroline, Ivy, and Enzo—to be hilarious. A little bit serious of course, since Enzo killed Ivy, but when he told Caroline not to make a scene and then stabbed Stefan in the hand with a fork was extremely gif worthy. I could see where Stefan was coming from when he decided to give up on chasing down leads to save Damon and Bonnie. But to Caroline's credit, she was really trying to bring back their friends. To find out that no one else was helping her with that, other than Enzo, would cause me to hate Stefan and cry in my car too. Especially if I realized that he didn't even listen to my voice mails. Though I would so not mind Enzo to go and punish Stefan for making me cry.

Last but not least, numero tres: Damon and Bonnie in their Own Personal Hell.
Damon and Bonnie are a hilarious couple to be stuck together in one repeating day. Most of the laughs that came out of me were during their scenes. But nevertheless, their situation is a puzzling one. It only brings questions that no one knows the answers to—a fact that became apparent when my dad kept on asking me questions while I was watching the episode on Hulu... Why would they be transported to the place and time out of all places and times? What did Bonnie's grandma do? Why is the day May 10, 1994? And probably the most biggest question of all: who is the person there with them? Who is the person that solved the crossword? And why in the world would they choose to solve the crossroad!? If you have theories, please comment!

RED BAND SOCIETY... HOMECOMING GAHHHH!

Damn... this show is getting intense.
Please don't hold this second blog post of the night and the second blog post about Red Band Society in 2 days against me. I can't help it if I'm obsessed and the feels are in my heart. Plus, I just got finished watching the recent episode, so the things I want to talk about are fresh in my mind.
Thing to talk about numero uno: Kara and the Homecoming Fiasco.
The fact that they even made a homecoming episode just days after my own caused me to give them major props. When Kara got ready and went to the dance with Emma- and Brittany as a chaperon-I was so not expecting what the dance was going to entail. Brittany made me laugh when she wore her hot pink dress and threatened leaving Kara when she was saying bitchy things to Emma. It made me like Brittany even more. Secondly, I can already see a bigger story line opening up with Emma and her eating disorder. When she pushed away her food I wanted to yell at her for being so dumb and shallow. Just because those girls raved about how she was sooooo skinny, does NOT mean it is a good thing. Props to Ciara Bravo for... well acting. And lastly, THAT KISS BETWEEN KARA AND LEO. I did not expect that either. I admit that it was very sweet, in a weird way, how Leo defended Kara in front of the whole school when everyone pitied them. Granted, it was by calling her a bitch and selfish, but to Kara that apparently meant the world. Still... the Kara at the end of the episode looks like she has stopped being overly mean and has stopped relying solely on material things.
Numero dos: Jordi and his mom. 
I absolutely hate how she just left him like that. And it wasn't even the first time! After saying that she was going to be there for him repeatedly, she still left him. When she sat down because he asked, I could see that all she wanted was to get away. Nurse Jackson's gut was right about her. She also couldn't have left at a more terrible time. Right when Jordi stopped "looking ok" and actually started showing signs of chemo, she got scared. It was a cowardly thing to do, and I hate her for it. But you know who said this would happen? JORDI. And who said that he was wrong and it was a good thing to have her around? EVERYONE ELSE. Apologies all around.
Well that's all I can think about right now, so if you liked reading these and weren't bored by how long it was, please let me know if I should write these more :)
Also THEORY: I think that Nurse Jackson was so against Jordi's mom about her leaving him because she herself can't have kids. She said that so many adults would love to have a kid like Jordi. My theory is that she can't have kids so she doesn't like Eva because she doesn't like the fact she would throw away the opportunity of being a mother.

Addressing How I Met Your Mother

Despite the fact How I Met Your Mother ended about a year ago, I still love this show. The 9 seasons that have been made have been a major part of my TV watching habits. I literally re-watch the episodes on Netflix when I get home from school. As I'm writing this post, HIMYM is on the TV right now. By the way, it's the episode where Robin an Kevin get together, they find out Nora doesn't like Ewoks, and Marshall has the whole environmentalist problem.
The last season of the show, which was Barney's wedding- and if you haven't see it, I won't spoil you about who he marries-, was definitely the best. Cristin Milioti was wonderful as The Mother, and hilarious obviously.  I love the stories of how everybody else met The Mother, and also how we saw her personality when we didn't even know her name yet. "I CALL THEM SUMBITCHES!" HIMYM fans out there, you know what I'm talking about ;) Aaaand now because I have taken forever to write this, I'm on another episode.....
How I Met Your Mother will always be one of my favorite shows. Honestly, I'm worried that I've seen every episode too many times that I'm going to be bored watching them. But the point of this post is that this show is one of the best shows out there. You can watch all the episodes more than once and not get bored. How do you know it's a good show? You laugh every time a funny part comes on even though you've seen it multiple times. Boom. Blog postered.

RED BAND SOCIETY GAHHH!

I can't express how much I love Kara and Nurse Jackson's relationship. Even just by themselves, I love them. Kara may be annoying and mean and stubborn all the time, but she offers a challenge to everyone.This opens things up for character development, duh. Nurse Jackson is also hilarious. The two make for a clash of characters that add to the show tremendously. Leo, Jordi, and Emma are the small love triangle, and Nurse Jackson and Kara are the feuding enemies. 

For real though, I'm so glad that they decided to make this show. I love the fact it's in a hospital, and yes it does sort of give TFIOS vibes, but that was unavoidable for me. 

If you haven't seen this show, then you need to get on top of things. Watch the first episode, and if you aren't hooked yet, then keep watching. You will be!
