Scream Queens: Ice Cream Becomes a Banana Split


Time to head back to our favorite sorority!  Scream Queens is back this week and it's official:  Dean Munsch and Gigi are moving into the house!  The two ladies have decided to move in keep an eye on things.

Other than the two ladies joining the unimpressed Chanel, the episode entitled "Chainsaw" gives us some glorious tastes and scenes of the Red Devil using one...and Zayday, which was hilarious.

Enough of my randomness, let's focus on the recap!  This episode shows us that the students of the university are making sure people know that they are not a part of KKT, by holding a march and showing the killer that they are in no way affiliated.  Munsch then announces that the Red Devil will no longer by the mascot and it is now an ice cream cone.  But the cone then leads to the most gruesome murder of the show in my opinion.



That's right, the ice cream cone gets cut in half!  Good lord that was gory, shocking and brilliant!

Now it's time for a breakdown:

My favorite character: Denise Hemphill believes that Zayday is the killer.  She saw a tweet that Zayday sent to the writer of How To Get Away With Murder that spoke of her liking how killers worked in cohoots.


#Cahoots may a thing as we say the members of Chad Radwell's fraternity fight two chainsaw wielding Red Devils in an attempt to gain some revenge for Boone's death in an amazing Backstreet Boys fight sequence.  The big thing Denise found on Zayday though is that she had a chainsaw under her bed.  Zayday claimed her grandmother sent it to her, which Denise just believes...I love Denise Hemphill.

Chanel needs a new minion.  But who would be willing to do this?  Why Chanel #6 obviously.  Lea Michele goes from brace to hottie in this episode.  We all knew it was coming!

Chanel #3 gets some character and becomes "alibuddies" with Sam.  This seems to be like Brittany and Santana from Glee but poorly acted and written.

Chanel #2 is still posting pics on her Instagram from an unknown location.  But Denise discovers the blood stains in her room and her tweet leading her to explain to Grace and Zayday how she's been murdered...or maybe not.  

The episode ends with Dean Munsch forcing Gigi out of their shared room with loud murder noises.  Gigi leaves to sleep on the couch and meets a chainsaw wielding Red Devil.  


Gigi with little help from Wes' attempted rescue, saves herself with a pretty impressive kick.  When she and Wes go to check on the Devil who had flown behind the couch, he was gone, leaving only his chainsaw behind.  From there Munsch runs downstairs to check on them, Wes accuses her of being the killer and she looks stunned.


This episode was fun!  I really enjoyed seeing the characters come to light more.  At this point here's my thought on who the killer is.  Chanel #2 seemed to fake her death possibly and Boone definitely faked his.  There are two chainsaw wielding Demons and the one did not take out Chad Radwell (Boone?)  This theory will probably change by next week, but for now: Chanel #2 and Boone did it.

Good night and good fright everyone!

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!

What did you think of these two episodes?  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?
