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?

I Freaking Love Crazy Eyes!

Now I'll admit that I'm an absolute sucker for TV show characters.  I'm like when a girl falls in love with a character in a book that she's reading, except I want to be best friends with the characters I'm enamored with.  On of my favorites is pictured above, and if you're not familiar with her, you best need to get started!

She is Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren and I'm pretty much a mark for this character.  She burst onto our screens during one of the early episodes of the Netflix Original Series: Orange Is The New Black.  Now anybody who reads my The Shows I'm Addicted To blog knows that I'm a huge fan of this series.  One of the biggest reason I'm a fan of the show is the characters and Crazy Eyes may just be my favorite.

Crazy Eyes began an interesting friendship with Piper, the series' main character and ultimately decided that she had a new prison wife in Piper, whom she dubbed "Dandelion."

Who is the woman behind this crazy character?  Well she is a brilliant actress named Uzo Aduba and I've absolutely fallen in love with her face, more specifically when it's bug-eyed.  That brilliant face is one of the things that has absolutely made this character.  Nobody that has seen the show can forget the infamous scene where Crazy Eyes takes a leak on Piper Chapman's floor after Chapman told her she would never be her wife.  Which I was down to see some chocolate and vanilla swirl!  (Yes, that's a reference)

The best news that has come out of this brilliant character being introduced to the world is that Uzo Aduba has been promoted to the main cast for season 2!  So that means that we get even more Crazy Eyes during the next season!!

Now after that little radio broadcast at the end of the season, we know that Chapman isn't on Crazy Eyes' best side at the moment, so who knows what's going to happen with that, but I'm sure excited for it!!  Season 2 can't come soon enough!

The Shows I'm Addicted To - 8/30/13

Here you go guys!  This week's edition of the The Shows I'm Addicted To!  Every week I'm bringing you a list of the Top 10 shows that I can't stop watching.  I've been looking all over the place: Netflix, Hulu, and of course good old cable and this is what I'm watching!  My current addictions are as followed:

10. Orange Is The New Black

(Last Week: #1)

This week's biggest dropper is Orange Is The New Black.  Now this isn't dropping because it's bad or anything, it's dropping because there not anymore for me to watch yet!  (Which saddens me to no end!)  Even though I haven't actually watched this show this week, the series stays on my list this week due to the sheer greatness that it is.  Please, please, please God can we get Season 2 soon!

9. WWE NXT

(Last Week: #9)

NXT continually brings you the some of the best wrestling that the WWE can offer!  NXT may not have the biggest name stars on the show, but it makes me happy.  I love watching the younger guys go for it, because every week they have to make a name for themselves and I stay glued.  By the way, WWE needs to bring some of these stars to the main roster!  Just saying!

8. Hollywood Game Night

(Last Week: N/A)

New to the list this week is Hollywood Game Night!  Now to tell you the truth, I actually had no idea this show existed till week, but then I caught it and loved it!  The show is hosted by the amazing Jane Lynch and featured celebrities playing various party type games.  This week featured one of my favorites Kristen Chenoweth as well as Dominic Monaghan of Lord Of The Rings fame, but I know him better as Charlie in LOST.  This show kept me laughing and it was a ton of fun to watch.  If you haven't seen it, make sure you check it out!

7. Weeds

(Last Week: N/A)

Another new show that I'm addicted to is Weeds.  Now I was a huge fan of Orange Is The New Black and the creators made this show, so I figured I could replace my lost love with this one.  There's a reason this show was the original, it's fantastic and I fell in love!  Weeds has been out for a while and I know I'm behind on the times, but I'm catching up!  One thing I know is that so far, this show won't disappoint!

6. Phineas & Ferb

(Last Week: #7)

Bumping up one spot this week is Disney's Phineas & Ferb.  I love this show, it's usually how I just relax.  I don't have to think when I watch cartoons and that's just the way I like it.  I think everyone should watch a cartoon at least a couple times a week.  It's a way to maintain your sanity.  Also Phineas & Ferb is fantastic!

5. My Name Is Earl

(Last Week: #3)

Down a few spots this week is My Name Is Earl.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, being from South Carolina, I know each and every one of these people.  This show makes fun of the white trash that we've all met before.  If I had my way, the cast would reunite soon to make a movie!  (My idea!)

4. WWE Monday Night RAW

(Last Week: #5)

Up one spot this week is WWE Monday Night RAW!  Now I usually catch the show on Hulu the day after cause I'm actually training to wrestle on Monday nights.  This week however I was searching massively on Youtube that night when I got back cause I was hearing all the reviews other people were giving and let me tell you there was a reason I was hearing so much!  RAW was great this week!  AJ Lee's promo was greatness and I'm loving the storyline between Daniel Bryan and the McMahons!  Keep it up WWE!

3. Kitchen Nightmares

(Last Week: #6)

Jumping up a few spots this week is Kitchen Nightmares.  This show is one of my constants because I'm addicted to cooking shows and I love hearing Gordon Ramsay cuss at people.  Oddly I don't watch Hell's Kitchen.  But I'm not sure why, but I've watched a lot of it this week.  It's bloody brilliant!

2. Total Divas

(Last Week: #2)

Total Divas doesn't move this week, it stays in the same spot.  This weeks episode was great for me because it focused more on Naomi and Cameron (Real names Trinity and Ariane respectively.)  They are pretty much my favorite parts of the show.  I was a big fan of Natalya, but after the last two episodes, she seems overly bitchy.  And I'm hoping that's not her real personality cause she seems like a really sweet person.  The best part of the show was that it didn't really focus too much on the Bella Twins and their daddy issues.  The Bellas are awful and side note:  The Bellas almost ruined AJ Lee's promo on Monday Night RAW this week with their shrill screams.  Hate!

1. New Girl

(Last Week: #4)

"In college, if panties were snowmen, you would be March!"  That is just one of my favorite lines from New Girl!  I'm obsessed with this show now and Zooey Deschanel is freaking fantastic!  Also, Schmidt is one of my favorite characters of any show right now.  Everything about this show is greatness and if you aren't watching it, I must insist that you change that!

The Shows I'm Addicted To - 8/23/13

So here it is guys!  This week's addition of The Shows I'm Addicted To!  After watching way too much TV, mostly before I fall asleep with about 3hrs before I have to wake up for work, I have compiled a list of my favorite shows!  With Netflix, Hulu, and of course television at my disposal, here are my current addictions:

10. 3rd Rock From The Sun

(Last week: #5)

So haven't actually gotten to watch an episode this week.  I've been catching up on this via Hulu since it's close to a decade old now.  This show is still hilarious and none of the references are dated which is nice.  I have to get back into it, cause it is truly a gem.

9. WWE NXT

(Last week: #8)

As I've stated before, NXT is my favorite brand of wrestling that WWE has.  It may not have the flashy lights and glamour of Monday Night RAW, but it offers a solid product every single week.  Some of my favorite NXT Superstars right now include:  Tyler Breeze, Paige, Enzo Amore, Emma, and Leo Kruger.

8. Cake Boss

(Last Week: N/A)

This one I'm blaming entirely on my roommate Kati.  I sat down to look at a neat cake that looked like a zombie and then never got up.  This show is great, even though I really hate how the guy says fondant.  I was a big fan of Ace Of Cakes on the Food Network and was really upset when it was cancelled, so this is the next best thing for me!

7. Phineas & Ferb

(Last Week: #7)

Phineas and Ferb is still my favorite children's cartoon series going, it feels like I'm back in the 90s with my bowl of cereal.  Also Dr. Doofenshmirtz might be one of my favorite characters in anything.

6. Kitchen Nightmares

(Last Week: #6)

Kitchen Nightmares is still great.  It makes me want to open a restaurant just so Gordon Ramsey can come yell to me.  Also it makes me never want to eat out again.

5. WWE Monday Night RAW

(Last Week: #4)

Every week I either watch RAW or catch up on Hulu.  This past week's RAW was great, I'm really enjoying the Daniel Bryan storyline.  He was totally robbed at Summerslam!

4. New Girl

(Last Week: N/A)

This show has become an obsession over the past week.  It really upsets me that I'm catching up on it via Netflix.  Zooey Deschanel and the rest of the cast shine, I can't stop laughing.  Also this show might have one of my favorite theme songs ever.  "Who's that girl?  It's Jess!"

3. My Name Is Earl

(Last Week: #3)

I can't handle how much this show cracks me up.  There's not one character that isn't played to a T.  Just got to the middle of season 1 this week.  The Christmas episode had me dying.  "Oh no it's a negro, we must getting robbed!"  I want to marry Jaime Pressley.

2. Total Divas

(Last Week: #2)

Still my guilty pleasure.  Part of me wishes I didn't like this show as much as I do.  This weeks episode dealing with Natalya's relationship and Ariane''s (Cameron's) boob issues was great.  When Cameron lost a fake boob in the pool though, Naomi had me rolling with, "Those things float.  Who knew?!"  Greatness!

1. Orange Is The New Black

(Last Week: #1)

So much like last week this show has amazed me from start to finish!  So not like last week, I'm kind of bittersweet to be listing this as my number one.  Not because it doesn't deserve it, but because I finished the first season and season two isn't here yet!  I want to see more, there needs to be more of this show in my life!  Season two can't get here soon enough!

The Shows I'm Addicted To - 8/13/13

Introducing something to new!  Here are my Top 10 Shows that I'm obsessed with watching right now!  Now these are on Netflix, Hulu, and of course television!  Here's my guide!  I'll post it weekly, maybe it'll change, maybe it won't!  Enjoy!

Let's start with #10!

10. WWE Smackdown

Got to love Smackdown!  It's like the highlights of RAW, but with some storyline continuations as well.  But always try to catch Smackdown, cause you can expect the unexpected!

9. WWE Superstars

Superstars is one of my favorite because you get to see a lot of WWE's minor and mid-card wrestlers which are some of my favorites.  Always nice to see some solid eight minute matches and see what some of the guys you don't see so often you can do.

8. WWE NXT

NXT is one of my favorites because the matches are always great and the small crowd really gets into it!  Always exciting to see!

7. Phineas & Ferb

Always have fun watching Phineas and Ferb.  It's the one current cartoon that takes me back to my childhood, it has a real 90s feel to it.  Never too old for cartoons!

6. Kitchen Nightmares

Gordon Ramsey doing anything makes me happy!  Maybe it's just the cursing and the British Accent, but I've been watching this show obsessively.  But I always wind up cooking afterwards.

5. 3rd Rock From The Sun

I'm really disappointed I missed this show growing up, but like it more now that I'm older and get all the jokes.  This show is rapid fire fun to watch.  Grab some popcorn and just get ready to laugh.

4. WWE Raw

I always try to catch RAW!  I'm never home on Monday nights cause I'm ironically in wrestling training.  But I catch it on Hulu.  Been a constant for me since I was about 10 years old.  That's saying something!

3. My Name Is Earl

Another show I'm mad I didn't watch when it was on.  This show has me cracking up the whole time I'm watching it.  Maybe cause I"m from a small South Carolina town, so I know some of these people...

2. Total Divas

This show is my guilty pleasure.  I normally don't like this kind of reality show, but with the WWE tied in and getting to see all the backstage lives, it's just like crack.  It just kind of makes me hate John Cena more though...

1. Orange Is The New Black

This show is brilliant!  It's a Netflix original and I can't get enough of it!  The characters are fantastic and played to a T.  It's funny, and the drama of it just keeps you hooked.  If you're not able to watch this due to lack of Netflix, either purchase Netflix or find a friend who has it!
