How To Get Away With Murder Double Whammy! He Deserved To Die/He Has A Wife

So it's time to get the ball rolling again with this review of How To Get Away With Murder.  I had to play catch-up because life's been getting in the way of my television, which is just...unacceptable.  But boy did I pick the right two episodes to watch back to back, because these kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time!  I actually fell off twice...

Let's start this off with He Deserved To Die:

Or as I like to call it...We Want Pre-nup!

Michaela's face says it all here as she finds out that her fiance's parents want her to sign a pre-nup agreement before the wedding, but we'll get into more about that in the next episode.

Now we'll get on with everything, these two episodes brought us closer and closer to bringing the flashforward storyline and the present storyline together.  Everyone is getting ready for the bonfire...DUN DUN DUN!

The big shocker that comes at the end of He Deserved To Die is that it was discovered during a second autopsy that Lila was six weeks pregnant at the time of the murder.  That means that she had broken her virginity pact with Griffin and proving more and more that Sam is most likely the murderer.  

He Has A Wife offers something different than the previous episode.  It offers a secondary trial where a professional woman has apparently murdered her housekeeper under the influence of a sleeping medication.  Then it wound up being the husband who murdered the housekeeper and made the wife believe she did it...was crazy.

But we also get a more in depth look at what was going on with Lila before the murder.  

Near the end of the episode, we see Lila actually run up to Annalise's office and attempt to tell her about her affair with Sam and who is there to ruin it...Freakin Bonnie!  God I hate Bonnie.  But then she confesses everything to Annalise near the end of the show and then she fires her!  Boom!  Later Bonnie!

So breakdown after these two episodes:

Sam is looking guiltier and guiltier.  He's also gonna die soon.

Michaela is gonna have a battle with her future mother in law.

Rebecca is gonna try her best to get that DNA.

I can't wait to get to the next episode.  I think we're finally gonna get to see the murder!

Too Much Parks & Recreation

So my current obession is Parks & Recreation.  I've pretty much been watching it during every hour of my free time and it's been putting a real strain on my relationship with sleep.

I never really watched the show before I started trying to catch up on Netflix and I'm almost to the point of finishing season 4. Let me start by saying that, may the TV Gods strike me down, I like this show way more than The Office.  I know it's been compared to it, as the writing style is pretty much the same, but I am much more invested in this show than I ever was in The Office.

Every character in the show is spot on and the best part is that each of them bring the funny in their own way.  They even bring in new characters and lose old ones and never miss a beat.

My obsession continues to grow and I may officially be Mouse Rat's #1 fan!

Side note, everyone at work had been calling me Ben cause they say my hair looks like him.  I posted a pic, let me know what ya think!

Once Upon A Time Makes Frozen Fresh

Sup Once Upon A Time fans!  So I don't know what you thought when you first saw the scene above during last season's finale, but if it was anything like mine, you were about about as happy as a squirrel that's been hit by a lawnmower.  I'm probably biased because I work at Walt Disney World and they've thrown Frozen in my face so much that if you shook off my eyelids, you could build a snowman.

I was completely done with everything and anything Frozen.  But this season of Once Upon A Time has completely cured my frostbite!  (Except for the Wandering Oaken's scene.  I worked at Wandering Oaken's Trading Post all summer, so hearing him say, "Yoo-Hoo" was like getting an icicle to the temple.  Aside from that negative, I have nothing but positive things to say about this awesomely chilly season.

Allow me to start the praise off by saying that Anna and Elsa were extremely well cast!  Georgina Haig and Elizabeth Lail, who play Elsa and Anna respectively, are killing it this season.  Not only do they look like the characters, but they also look like sisters.  I'm not sure if they are both just great actresses or if have watched Frozen more times than any 6 year old American girl, but they are Anna and Elsa and I don't think that Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell themselves could do any better.  (I may catch some heat from that.  Oops)

Next up on the praise list:

ELIZABETH FREAKIN MITCHELL!

When she popped up at the end of the second episode, I yelled, "Juliet," and spilled my Mountain Dew.  (I'm a huge LOST fan!)

The storyline crossover between Hans Christian Andersen's original; The Snow Queen and Disney's Frozen is something that I never would have thought of.  I actually really wish that the rumored Frozen sequel would have followed this path.  It's a really awesome concept and I can't respect this season's writers enough.

Finally:

SVEN!

So what do you, the internet people think about this season so far?  What are your favorite/least favorite aspects of it?  Do you like or hate Frozen?  Are you reading all of these questions?  Sound off in the comments!

How To Get Away With Murder: Freakin' Whack-A-Mole

So I'm bursting back with a new blog about one of my favorite shows on TV right now and that's: How To Get Away With Murder.  I knew that I would like this show from the second that I saw the trailer.  Viola Davis is on point as Annalise Keating, like I'm pretty sure that she could strike fear into the devil himself with a lip twitch.  

My goal now is to do a recap blog each week after I see the episode and kind of give my thoughts and reactions on what happened.  Ok?  Sweet, then let's get to it!

This week was an episode centered around the spoiled little college douchebag of Asher Millstone.  It's weird calling him a douchebag, because all I keep seeing him as John Bennett from Orange Is The New Black.  Bravo Matt McGorry for being different!

Until this episode, we really didn't know where Asher had been during the murder of Sam Keating other than the fact that he showed up banging on the window.  So this week we finally got his side of the story.  Asher was getting ready to go to the bonfire, as any good college douche would do!  What we didn't know is that he had the ever coveted trophy, or so he thought.  Turns out he's banging on that window because he wants his damn trophy that he "rightfully" earned.  Other than that, we really don't see much of him in the flashforward sequences, until the end when we see him in bed with Bonnie!?  What the hell?  Also, I hate Bonnie, she keeps jumping on Laurel about all her stuff with Frank, when I'm pretty sure she's the one that's had more meat in her than an Oscar Meyer factory.

The main case in the episode is probably my favorite one yet, because it truly shows how evil and corrupt the judicial system can be.  It's focusing on a race and income issue, where a man is framed for murdering his wife in order to get the wife and family out of the way for land development.  It becomes an Asher storyline after when we soon realize that his father was the corrupt judge that slammed the gavel down.

The interesting thing to me is how close the timelines now seem to each other.  Asher turned in information about his father to Annlise in order to get the trophy.  The trophy was taken and used as the murder weapon.  This proves how close we are to actually piecing things together...or maybe we're not, maybe this is just clever writing and there's actually a lot this is yet to be discovered.  Most likely the latter, but I'm trying to be Sherlock Holmes over here and figure this crap out, so cut some slack!

At the very end of the episode however, we see that Annalise has just discovered the murder...or is just saying that she has?  DUN DUN DUN!!!

I'm very much looking forward to next week's episode, because it's about to get crazy in the next couple of weeks and I'm really wishing that the future would hurry up and get here!  Please?
