Don't Trust the B: Daddy's Girl


Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23
Season 1
Episode 2: Daddy's Girls..




To start this episode off we have a nice voiceover summing up the pilot. June is in no rush to date but then sees a baby and the song "Hello" starts to play. The timing and song choices on this show are great. Probably the best part of the show so far.

June has a plan for her whole life Chloe thinks she needs more spontaneity. Chloe is planning to set June up with some guy, Scott. But June doesn't trust Chloe and Chloe is complaining about it to Dawson (I mean James). James is very jealous of James Franco and is going to teach an acting class at NYU like Franco would.

June thinks she can find a husband while biking and has a weird/hilarious conversation with the coffee guy. Chloe threw a party to secretly set up Chloe with Scott and when they begin talking "Hello" starts playing again. They suspect a set up and that upsets June. Scott and June hit it off just like Chloe suspected but the twist is Scott is Chloe's dad. Haha! Didn't see that one coming (after looking back at the title I really should've)!

 
 
Another Skype with Chloe's parents, this seems unnecessary to me. Robin from down the hall is getting even creepier. James Van Der Beek as a professor is cute! And all the kids only care about Dawson's Creek and then he starts a monologue from the show. The kids love it and he's surprised. Just imagine if he did the crying face. Chloe tries to use the same speech on June but June who is an avid Creek fan cant be fooled!


James just wants to not be Dawson anymore but that's never going to happen! June is over the creepiness of sleeping with her roommates dad. She tells Chloe that she is and Chloe's mom is there worried that dad is cheating. No wonder Chloe is so messed up. I'm kind of loving Chloe's Tres Cool sweater it's weird but fits her. After advice from creepy neighbor dude they decide that June has to dump the dad.

"It's quirky. That's New Yorky"

James takes over the coffee shop to do some Shakespeare and the crowd continues to call him Dawson. The girl yelling take me with you Dawson was my favorite. June and Chloe go dump her dad he freaks out and Chloe pushes him in the street. Cut to the bonding at the bar scene. We find out June only "dry humped" Chloe's dad. I loved the very end where James is super conceited and decides to just be Dawson to help the world.


I hope this show will grow on me and I enjoy the upcoming episodes. What are your thoughts?

Supernatural Season 1: Episode 3 Dead in the Water


Supernatural
Season 1: Episode 3
Dead in the Water



I must admit that the music of the show is really picking up and not bothering me as much as it did in the beginning. It's background noise that fills the transitions nicely. Thankfully, the have corrected it from where it overpowered the scene. Hopefully, the music will stay this way, unless it's a song I really like.



Dean and Sam have traveled to a new town and are looking for a thing in the water. This episode they are pretending to be wildlife rangers. I find it so amusing that they pretend to be different people each episode. Dean always have some kind of badge stating what he is. That's great and makes the show seem realistic. If they just showed up and said what they were, it would make the show seem fake. This way it's making a more realistic view on the show.






When Dean is talking to the kid we get to see that sweet side if him. He's telling Lucas that he was the same age as him when something bad happened to him and no one would listen to him. Of course, sensual music is playing to set the scene filling it nicely to the moment we are seeing. Dean's soft side is really drawing me in at this point. I'm swooning over hear listening to him pour his heart out to this kid. This moment is key to figuring out what is actually in the water. I wonder if we are going to see the thing in the dad's journal.



Dean had another sweet moment with the kid while Sam was there. You can really tell that the two brothers never really have talked about their mom to each other. Sam and Dean did not have a sweet moment together and Dean let that bad boy side show and shut him down.



Sam and Dean were supposed to leave town and put it behind them but since the kid freaked out they turned around. Mom was drowning in the tub but Sam saved her. This pour kid is going to be scarred for life.


The sheriff and the other guy killed the little boy when they were kids. The drowned him and the spirit lives in the water taking his killers family. Lucas for some unknown reason went to the water and was pulled in. The sheriff then realized that the brothers were right about the spirit and apologized to the little boy that he killed ultimately telling the boy to take him. Lucas finally ended up talking and the brothers drove away to another epic ending song.



We didn't get to see anything from the dad or his journal so maybe the journal is just a thing that made them actually go and start hunting together. All in all I really liked this episode. We got to see the soft side of Dean and show that he is still hurting from his mom.



On a side note, I'm not looking at Jared as Dean from Gilmore girls. I think that this is my favorite role that Jared has ever played. His acting in this is on point and he really becomes the role.

Supernatural Season 1: Episode 2 Wendigo

I'm usually one that when I find a show to watch, I will obsessively binge watch it until I have finished all of the episodes. So, of course, after I finished watching episode one I was ready for episode two. Usually, Allie and I will text about the current shows we are watching and ruin it for the other if they haven't watched it, so typing while watching this show is actually quite the same, except my notes aren't giving me the text back that I keep waiting for.


Supernatural
Season 1: Episode 2
Wendigo


If I remember correctly wasn't Wendigo also a Charmed episode of that wolf-like creature or something like that? I do believe I'm right, maybe not about the wolf part but I definitely remember that name from being in Charmed.






Sam goes to the graveyard and is visiting that girls grave. So she did died in their apartment. Maybe this is what have him the final push to leave and go with his brother. His little speech and teary eyes at her grave really gave my heart a tug. He seemed like he generally did love her and wanted to settle down with her. However, it was just a dream that he was having. The hand that shot up out of the grave scared the crap out of me. I am a little jumpy tonight though and it is late so cut me some slack on that.



Sam and Dean start off on their journey to follow the Dad since they have his journal and he left them coordinates to the place he is going. Speaking of the journey, the background is obviously green screened. It really pops out at you and looks so fake. Seriously, can you make it seem real at least?



Where is the dad? Is he going to be a character that you hardly ever see and sends them to these places to find the supernatural thing? Is he Charlie and these are his angels?



The Wendigo is a thing that moves really fast and growls. It's living in this cave and bringing it's victims to torture and kill them. I hope that we get to see its face so I can see if I can remember it from Charmed.



The scenery in this show is impeccable. It's so beautiful and seems so unreal. I'd love to visit some of these places (without any of the supernatural things of course).


The dad's journal reminds me a lot of the spell book in Charmed. I wonder if it is going to have every supernatural thing in it like the one in  Charmed? That would be kind of cool but I don't know if they will do that.


Okay, I'll admit it, I'm loving Dean. He's got that cool macho guy to him and he says all the awesome bad ass lines. He even had a heart to heart with Sam trying to get him to get his head together to go out and hunt these supernatural beings. You can tell he has that rough exterior but a soft side to him that we probably won't get to see a lot. I'm cool with that as long as he keeps up this bad boy aura to him and gives me sweet moments. He did go ahead of everyone so they could get out safely.



"You want some white meat bitch? I'm right here!" Classic line. I'm going to have to find a way to work that into conversation somehow.



With all being saved from the Wendigo, the boys go out to find dad. Of course we can't do this without the boys driving the muscle car and the rock music onto the next adventure.



When the episode concluded, I looked it up and the Wendigo is an episode of Charmed. The two shows had different backgrounds on it but they look relatively the same with Supernatural having the modern age twist to it. The two images belong are from their respectable shows. (Sorry about the bad one from Supernatural, I was to busy watching the show and hit the print screen late and didn't go back)

Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23


Hey everyone!

This is Allie and I'm so excited we started this blog! My first entry is going to be about a sitcom I have only seen one episode of. But since I don't have cable or satellite and mainly watch TV on Netflix I like to try different shows that have already been cancelled. Which led me to Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23. The one episode I watched was a Dawson's Creek one with Busy Phillips because it aired soon after I found a love of Dawson's. And truly I am only watching to see if James Van Der Beek can ever not be the annoying Dawson Leery we all love to hate.

Don't Trust The B in Apartment 23
Season 1
 Episode 1: Pilot


Well we start out with two characters having sex around the apartment when a roommate walks in. "My roommate slept with my fiancé on my birthday cake and it was the best thing that ever happened to me"
Interesting?

Now we are following the blonde girl but I didn't even know she was in this show. So obviously I didn't know anything about it. Her company has went under and now she cant get into her building. So this may be the worst day of June's (that's her name!) life.

These Skype chats with her parents are weird.

"This bad luck cant last forever" Those are famous last words.

Cue the interviewing roommates montage. The B---- in the show does seem normal in the roommate interview. Chloe called him "Beek from the Creek" and they used to date but now is like her gay best friend just not gay.



Girl from down the hall who says "don't trust the bitch in apartment 23 looks familiar. Can't place her though. Neighbor guy is creepy. Chloe is walking around naked and its all blurred out. Probably way more blurring than they need. Is neighbor guy going to stand behind that window all the time like he's the neighbor on Home Improvement.



She calls James Van Der Beek and "I Don't Wanna To Wait" comes on as a girl walks down the stairs. That was perfect.

Little blonde chick stood up to Chloe by selling all her stuff after Chloe stole from her. Nice move June. And June just tried to sing "I Don't Wanna wait" to James. This is going be the running joke and I bet it really does happen in his life.


June give a nice speech complete with background music to get back Chloe's ottoman. She only wanted the ottoman back because it had drugs in it. Then Indiana boyfriend, who is not cute,  shows up and Chloe asks who wants to get weird and play Mario Kart. Chloe gets the kid who comes with him (as a patient for him to monitor?) drunk and he tells her Indiana boy is cheating on June. Chloe tries to tell June the truth but June does not believe her (rightfully so). And this brings us full circle to the birthday cake sex scene. Nurse girl gets mad when she also walks in on him cheating.



Now we have a nice bonding moment in a bar and everyone is friends. The best part may be the commercial James Van Der Beek did at the end.

To sum it up, this has been a mildly amusing show I can keep watching it but I don't see it becoming a favorite. Since I am a Dawson's Creek fan all the jokes about it pretty funny. Hopefully, the show will keep us from making the famous Dawson face.



Did anyone watch this while it was on air? Did you love it or hate it? Is anyone sad its gone? Can James Van Der Beek ever not be Dawson?

Supernatural: Season 1 Episode 1


Every time I log onto Netflix, Supernatural is there staring me in the face in my top picks. I have heard a lot of good things about this show but I just never got around to actually watching it. Jared Padalecki is one of the main characters. While his dashing good looks draw most woman in, I can't look past the fact that he was Dean on Gilmore Girls. His character Dean was the perfect boyfriend but he lacked that bad ass attitude I tend to always fall in love with. When Jess came along, Dean definitely had to go and my hatred for him grew.  Hopefully, while watching Supernatural, I can look past that face and not see him for being the guy in Gilmore Girls. Plus, that other main character on this show does have the right looks to draw me in. So here we go....



Supernatural

Season 1: episode 1
Pilot


Starting off with a sweet little Walton's moment where everyone is telling each other goodnight. So sweet. It wouldn't be complete without the dramatic sweet music playing in the background.





#jeffreydeanmorgan yay! Loved him in greys anatomy. He really did a good job playing Denny. I've seen him in something else and liked him. I can't remember what it is though.






Okay this part made me make a gasping noise. Ha. Mother saw the baby and dad and walking down she realized it wasn't him. When the dad heard the scream he looks up and she's on the ceiling. My thoughts are she's just on the ceiling, not much of a reaction. Then she gets engulfed with flames! Whattttt?! The dad's reaction is to give the baby over to the other kid and try to save her? Hell no, bitch is a goner. Get the kids and get out of there.



22 years into present day, we get I meet Sam (Jared) and he's in college. Was that the baby? Or other kid? Not sure yet.



One thing about this show that's annoying me is the music. I feel like I'm watching a horror film where you know something is about to happen. I get that you are building up the scene for something to happen but do you need to overpower it with music that blows me away? I'll have to get used to that. It annoyed me at first when I was watching The Vampire Diaries too.



In comes Dean with in a combat way and takes down Sam. He's pretty cute and seems to be the bad boy(score!). He's got that chiseled jaw line going and I'm loving it. Dean just said he's 26 so he's the older brother. This is really going to confuse me with the other guy being named Dean. Maybe this will help me not picture Jared as Dean from GG or hearing that name and seeing Jared will be bad. Who knows.



Off they go onto a trip to find their dad who is away hunting some demon thing. They are bringing along several weapons with them including a sweet u shaped knife that Sam pulled out of his apartment.



Well we find out that they are chasing some girl who killed herself and she's hitch hiking and killing the victims that pick her up. During this time we have a heart to heart with Sam who is wanting to shed the lifestyle of his family and live a normal life. He didn't know his mom so he really doesn't get the big deal of hunting supernatural things. I get that. Even though it seems awesome to do, he wants to live a quiet simple life and not hunt things. I get it but it's boring. Listen to the hot brother Sam! (Which we all know he will)



From this first episode I can already tell that I love Dean. He's a smart ass and has smug looks all the time. Plus, he just got arrested and broke out of the handcuffs using a paper clip. Swoon. He's the bad ass boy that I know I'm going to fall for. Yes! There's always one in every show that I love but I didn't think that I would find him so soon.



They found a way to fight that lady by driving the car through the house and making her face her fears. After fighting off the lady in white, they were going to meet their dad but Sam needed to get home for his interview. Sam then sees his dead mother in flames on the ceiling and Dean saves him. How sweet. This immediately seals the deal that Sam is going hunting with Dean. So is the girlfriend dead?



Initial thought of the show is I think it's going to be good. I feel like it has a Charmed, The Vampire Diaries and horror films mash up to it. Hopefully, I decide that I love this show. So many people have said good things about it and the twitter fan base is large.
Anyway follow for more updates on me going through the show.

Hello  TV Addicts!


We would like to start off by introducing ourselves. We are two girls who enter various different realities and obsess over characters that we fall for and hope to be like. We have "traveled" to towns such as Stars Hollow, sailed across the ocean in a boat named Summer, been on archaeological adventures studying skeletons, and plunged deep inside the anatomy to save the lives of people who have helped shaped us into the people we are today. Through this blog, we would like to take you through our crazy thoughts on various television shows that we have watched previously and shows that we are just watching for the first time. Included on this list are shows such as Supernatural, Scandal, Once Upon a Time, How I Met Your Mother, and Grey's Anatomy to name a few.

We hope that you have as much fun on our journey and engage with us through it all.

Welcome to the minds of Morgan and Allie.
