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!!

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!

ONCE UPON A TIME IS BACK! FOCUS ON 2X10

Hello guys!!
As I wrote in my previous post, on Sunday the 6th a lot of the series I'm watching started again.
Among them there's one of my favourite, Once Upon A Time.
The episode 2x10 was a pretty good one and I think the show came back with fireworks :)

Do not go on reading if you don't want spoilers.
SPOILER ALERT!!

The episode was called "The Cricket Game" and, as the title suggests, it was about Jiminy Cricket, "Archie" in Storybrook.
 

However, we didn't learn anything new about his life: on the contrary, he was the centre of the episode because he died!!
Yes, it's true: Regina killed Archie because he had revealed to Emma that she was regularly seeing him for therapy.
This is, at least, what the citizens of Storybrook believe: we (the viewers) know that it didn't go that way.



It was in fact Cora who, disguised as Regina, once arrived in Storybrook with Hook decided to kill Archie, to make everyone believe her daughter was responsible for that. And we know the reason of this behaviour: Cora wants Regina to be completely "broken", so that she can be evil again.
It's quite sad what she does to her: Regina was starting to gain Henry's faith again, and even Emma was about to give her a chance(the only thing that bothers me a bit is that Regina is trying so hard for a kid like Henry,whom I think is super annoying).


This was completely destroyed by Cora's action, and it broke my heart to see Regina cry, because this time she had really tried to be different. And this is even sadder,because we know how hard that has been for her,and how in the past she hadn't been able to do that.

 

 I know this happened because Cora is the new villain,but I really hate when a character makes Regina suffer. I was on her side even when she said that she should have killed Snow when she had her chance!!It's incredible what empathy and good acting can do (Lana Parrilla I love you) :)

We still have a lot to see, though: Neal and August should come back to Storybrook, and Hook will seek revenge over Mr. Gold.
But the most important thing is what we discover at the end of the episode:Archie is not really dead!!!!Cora kidnapped him,and she will probably try to "use" him to know everything she needs to succeed in her plan.

So, a pretty good episode,right??
What did you think of that?Did you like it?

Here is my secret secret hope for this second part of the season:


I would love them to be together!!!I think they make a great couple and Regina deserves happiness.

This is all for today!!
Thank you for listening and stay tuned!!

THE BEST OF 2012!!

Hello!!

Now that it's almost 2013,I decided to write my own list about the best of 2012, meaning what I watched and liked during this year.
I will focus on TV series and not films,because I didn't have the chance to go to the cinema very much lately; these are my personal opinions, so don't be surprised if I put series that are "older" than 2012..maybe I found out about them just this year!

Ok let's start!!

BEST COMEDY SERIES
"Parks and Recreation"



This beautiful show stole my heart and it's now among the best series I've ever watched. I love every minute of it, every character and I can't get enough of it..I'm very happy I found out about it this summer!!

BEST DRAMA SERIES
"Mad Men"



As with Parks and Recreation, I only found out about Mad Men last spring. I'm very glad I did, because this show is amazing and every single episode is like a short film. Its writing is great (one episode that impressed me very much is "The Suitcase", in season 4) and the actors are all equally very good, with a special mention to Jon Hamm and Elizabeth Moss.

BEST EPISODE IN A COMEDY SERIES
"Halloween Surprise", Parks and Recreation, 5x05
This was hard,but I tried to focus on episodes that actually aired this year. Among them I had to mention this one,which made me cry of joy (Ben and Leslie fans will understand me).



BEST EPISODE IN A DRAMA SERIES
"The Stable Boy", Once Upon A Time, 1x18
As you have probably understood, OUAT is one of my favourite shows at the moment,so I could not help but choose this beautiful episode that allows us to better know Regina and her past, thus making the reasons behind some of her choices clearer.


BEST MALE CHARACTER IN A COMEDY SERIES
"Abed Nadir", Community


I have to admit this was hard, so I want to mention those who came 2nd and 3rd: Ben Wyatt (Parks and Recreation) and Jack Donaghy (30 Rock).

BEST FEMALE CHARACTER IN A COMEDY SERIES
"Leslie Knope", Parks and Recreation


Speaking of hard, how about female characters??Liz Lemon (30 Rock) came very very close to the 1st position!

BEST MALE CHARACTER IN A DRAMA SERIES
"Matthew Crawley", Downton Abbey

 
How can you not fall in love with him?

BEST FEMALE CHARACTER IN A DRAMA SERIES
"The Evil Queen/Regina Mills", Once Upon A Time


As I previously said, I think Regina is the star of OUAT and I just love her :)

BEST OPENING THEME OF A COMEDY SERIES
"Community"


No matter what,every time I watch an episode of Community, the opening theme remains stuck in my head! And how cool cool cool  is when they change it according to the theme of the episode?
This was for the amazing Dungeons and Dragons episode:

 
A special mention to the opening theme of "HIMYM" which always makes me smile :)
How great was this for example?


BEST OPENING THEME OF A DRAMA SERIES
"Game of Thrones"


This opening is simply epic, no need for more words.
I would like to mention the opening theme of "The Walking Dead" because I find it perfect for the show.


It makes me anxious every time :)

BEST COUPLE IN A COMEDY SERIES
"Ben and Leslie", Parks and Recreation


I love them very very much!!! <3 <3

BEST COUPLE IN A DRAMA SERIES
"Matthew and Mary", Downton Abbey


As with the previous couple, I'm in love with them too <3

So, what do you think??
Do you agree with me? I'm curious to know what you would choose!!

Thank you for listening and stay tuned!
