I'M BACK!!

Hey everyone!!How are you?
I'm sorry I've been away for such a long time,but I had important things to do that kept me away from blogging..anyway,I came back for good!!
I will be posting a lot about TV shows in the next days,with a lot of interesting things for you :)

First of all,Once Upon A Time: with a few episodes left before the end of season 2 we still don't know if the show is going to be renewed for a third season!I truly hope that will happen,since I think the show has a lot of unexpressed possibilities that have still to be explored..however,there are some things that in my opinion need to be changed to make the show even better.

Here is what I think could be improved (or let's call it my wish list for season 3):
-Regina : as much as I love her character and Lana Parrilla,Regina hasn't been used in the "right" way this season. First of all the "redemption" storyline:we all know Regina isn't great at being good,and I was suffering a lot when she had to deal with all those people in Storybrooke who thought they could do whatever they wanted without taking her into account (Snow,Charming,Emma I'm talking to you!).
Having said that, I don't mean that Regina is pure evil and she doesn't have good in her (we saw her with Daniel,didn't we?),but she isn't ready yet to let her desire for revenge go,and I'm ok with that (as Lana Parrilla said at Paley Fest 2013 we all miss the Evil Queen!!!).


-Snow and Charming : I think it would be ok to see how these two deal with the difficulties in their relationship,for example the desire of Charming to go back to the Enchanted Forest compared to what Snow thinks (especially if that means leaving Emma behind once again).
And as a personal request,please no more "I will always find you"!!!!!!
-Emma : I loved how her character changed in this season,how she finally accepted that magic is real and that she acually is from the Fairytales world;I liked that we found out about her past and that not only Neal is Henry's father,but he is also Baelfire!!
I still would like these two to get back together (hopeless romantic am I,right?),but more than that I would like to know what Emma thinks of coming back to the Enchanted Forest and what exactly is that she can do with magic.
-Random characters : sure we met some interesting new characters this season (Hook!Cora,Neal),but we also saw a lot of characters who arent't really interesting,and whose disappearance could help in leaving the others more space (Aurora,Phillip,Mulan,Greg,Dr. Frankestein,Tamara!).
I still don't know what to think of Robin Hood:I loved this character since I was a child,but I'm not so sure I love how he has been presented in the show..but there's time to find out.
-Random "bad" characters : I know we are supposed to have some evil characters in every season,but I would prefer them to always be Regina and Rumple,and leave all the others behind. As much as I liked seeing Regina with her mother,or Hook trying to do bad things (never succeeding,but he's so sexy he can do whatever he wants for me!),I would prefer a less crowded scenario (Greg and Tamara are especially useless,in my opinion!).
-Rumbelle : just give these two some love and peace,for God's sake!
And what about you, what do you think could be improved in season 3?

For now,here is the promo for tonight's episode (love the title!) and a few sneak peeks:

 
 
 

And here is a funny video I found about Regina (it's more season 1 than season 2,but it's a reminder of how things should actually be) and some pictures of the lovely Lana Parrilla!





Ok,this is all for today!

Thank you for listening and stay tuned!!

I'M BACK!

Hello guys!!

I know, I disappeared..I’m very sorry! I went on a short trip with some friends but, moreover, I still hadn’t recovered from the ending of 30 Rock :) Can you believe that wonderful show is over? I can’t.
But ehi, we’ve got to move on..so today I’m going to collect some songs I’ve been listening to in these days, hopefully they will accompany you in your days too!

First of all, “Skinny Love” by Bon Iver: I heard it sung by the incredible voice of Birdy (can you believe she is only 16??), so I decided to listen to the original and I definitely like it better!
But I have to admit I fell in love with Birdy’s voice too and I’m sure she is going to be a great singer, so I give her credit for that.


Then, I recently discovered Marina and the Diamonds and I absolutely adore her now! She’s got a very special voice, and I love the sound of her songs too..for the moment my favourite is “Teen Idle” . It’s a great song, with a powerful meaning and I think a lot of people can relate to it. Here is a special live version of it sung by Marina in London..enjoy!
After the video, some images of Marina!





Finally, “Dancing on my Own” , by Robyn: I heard this on the TV series Girls and I loved it!!
Here is the original version, and after that the beautiful scene where Hannah and Marnie dance on this song.



What do you think of these songs? Do you like them too?

Thank you for listening (literally) and stay tuned!!

RANDOM THINGS PART 2!!

Hello everyone!!!!
Here is another post full of random things,I hope you enjoy it!!!

First of all:have you guys watched 30 Rock? Now that we're only 2 episodes left to the end,everything is really finding its place in the show and I can't even think of a life without Liz Lemon :(
She is one of my role model,I wish I could have her life (or Tina's)!!

 
 

So here is a lovely interview Tina Fey made some weeks ago about the end of her own show:


 
Oh Tina..I'll miss 30 Rock so much!!!

SPOILER ALERT!!!

Speaking about episode 7x11: seriously guys,what wasn't perfect in that episode??
I think these images speak for themselves:





And now a lovely video I found about Ben & Leslie of Parks and Recreation:


aren't they super cute??

Are you guys ready for The Walking Dead in two weeks?
Here is a new promo for episode 3x09 (it's obviously SPOILER ALERT! )


I can't wait!!!!

Luckily another show that's coming back is Community:as we all know Dan Harmon is no longer part of the show..will the writers be able to keep it going without him?
Here is a promo for season 4:


Speaking about OUAT,I didn't really like last week's episode,but as I previously said this sentence made it all for me :)


Also,every time there's Captain Hook on screen I'm happy (I'm a girl you guys,try to understand :P )




We finally found out that Mad Men will come back in April with a 2-hours episode..this is a wonderful news, I'm very curious to know what is going to happen to those people!
Here are some pictures that anticipate season 6:





Sadly, for a show that is coming back,another one has been cancelled:I'm talking about Don't trust the B.. in Apartment 23, which has been removed from television by ABC, due to low ratings.
This is a terrible news: I really loved this show and I thought it was very funny and witty without being stupid, qualities that you can't find in every comedy. However the network didn't think the same and they decided not to even air the remaining 8 episodes,which means the show didn't have a proper conclusion.

 
I'll really miss these crazy people!!! :(
I hope some other network will save Apartment 23, or maybe Netflix (the website that saved Arrested Development).
In the meantime,here is a link to the article I read and which explains a bit better the reasons behind this decision.

To conclude, some thoughts on this week's Pretty Little Liars:what did you guys think of the episode?
My problem with this show is that some weeks nothing happens,while some others the episodes are packed with action.
Like this week for example (SPOILER ALERT!!!):

the girls found out Meredith was giving drugs to Aria to keep her quiet and find the pages; Alison appears in Aria's dreams and gives her some suggestions; Byron comes back and confesses to Aria what really happened the night that Alison went missing; but most importantly, Spencer finds out that Toby is part of the A-team!!!!Isn't that a bit too much?



(I'm starting to think that maybe Alison isn't dead at all).

Also,what did Mona mean when she said "they have to understand that SHE is in charge"? Was she referring to "fear" as she was talking about that,or to someone else?Maybe even to Alison??
I hope we'll find out more next week!!!

So here is everything for today,I hope you liked this post!!
I'd really love to hear what you think..feel free to leave a comment below!!
Thank you for listening and stay tuned!

30 ROCK: FOCUS ON 7X10 (OR "TINA FEY DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KILL ME?")

Hello!
So as promised (did I promise that? I’m not sure) I’m going to talk about 30 Rock.

SPOILER ALERT!!

As we all know the show is ending in 2 weeks (that’s right folks, the finale is going to be a one hour episode) and the writers are doing their best to wrap up the story.
In this episode (7x10,“Florida”), Jack and Liz go to Colleen’s estate to organize her things after her death.
This leads to a weird discovery for Jack: not only was his mother actually a funny and nice person (“Mrs. Silly”!!), but she was also a lesbian. This makes Jack think about himself and his happiness, which he's not sure he has ever had. *
In New York, Tracy and Jenna are in charge of TGS while Liz and Pete are away, and we all know that from this can come no good (no surprise, right?). However, things seem to go pretty smoothly, until we find out that Hazel has reported her previous employers to have had wrong behaviors towards her; to avoid the scandal, everyone has to sign a document where they deny any of that of ever happening.
Unfortunately, Kenneth can’t lie, so this leads to the saddest ending ever (seriously,I've neved felt so sad at the end of a 30 Rock episode before): Hank Hooper, who doesn’t like scandals, decides to cancel TGS as his final CEO act, and we find out that “next Friday” will be its final show.



NOW LET’S ALL TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK ABOUT THAT.

TGS has been cancelled.
30 Rock is ending.

I should have figured that out before, after all the show is ending too…but how cruel is that? Moreover, the news arrives right after Liz has found out she is going to adopt two kids (again, where was Chriss?), and her facial expression sums up mine too.


What is going to happen now?What is Liz going to do after?Will she still be happy even without TGS? Are Jack and Liz going to be separated in the end? :(

However, the best part of the episode was, in my opinion, the Jack/Liz scene in the bed, at Colleen’s house.
I know, I’ve been dreaming of them to get together since the beginning of the show and I confess that the promo had led me to think that something was actually going to happen.
As I should have known better though, nothing happened; anyway, Jack and Liz finally talked about their relationship, in a way that I can’t help to think was Tina’s way to answer and somehow please everyone that has been shipping them for all these years.

They talked about their "chemistry", the fact that nothing ever happened because their friendship is more important and not because any of them has any kind of "problem" (I definitely think that, for Jack, Liz is not ugly, he just sees her as a little sister); it was especially cute to see Liz trying to understand why Jack never actually tried to seduce her, because “he’s kind of a slut”. **

I still think there’s a lot they could have talked about and I’m not completely satisfied with the answer they came up with either, but I appreciated that they had that chat and I honestly saw that as something “for us” hopeless shippers.


In my dream/post 30 Rock-ending world Liz realizes she wants to spend the rest of her life with Jack and so, after some years of marriage, she just comes back to him; after all Liz and Chriss got married mainly because of her wanting to adopt kids. In the meantime I’ll accept this sort of “acknowledgement” Jack and Liz made in Florida, even if nobody will ever make me think that they are not soulmates.

( hands!!<3 )

* About that, I think Jack won't end up alone: I read that both Julianne Moore and Salma Hayek will be back for the series finale, so that has to mean something. To be honest I would prefer Jack to end up with Nancy (Julianne Moore), because I liked them as a couple, I thought they were cute (Liz excluded, of course).


So if that is the case,I would be kinda happy. But no Salma Hayek please!Never liked her nor her character.

** I thought the entire dialogue was super cute, but there was this part which I really loved. Since I don't know how to make gifs I will just post here the link to a tumblr I found on the Internet. (I hope that's ok with the author, I wouldn't know how else to quote him/her).

Liz: "Did nothing ever happen between us because I'm not fun?"
Jack: "Good God Lemon. Obviously our relationship, however you define it ... mentor/mentee.."
Liz: "Sister-ployee/work oracle"
Jack: "..is more interesting than some dating scenario. And obviously to ruin what we have with a tawdry yet expert sexual encounter would have been a mistake".

UPDATE!
Here is the entire scene, I found it on YouTube..enjoy!



Well thank Tina, at least  you tried to satisfy us too :)


- 3 guys, and that is going to be SAD.

Thank you for listening and stay tuned!
