The Fosters : Family.Love.Brandon.

It’s not about where you come from. It’s about where you belong.” #TheFosters 

The Fosters is centered on Callie,a 16 yr old girl who got sent to Juvie because she finally stood up to her abusive step father after watching him beat the crap out of her younger brother Jude,namely by baseballing   ( yes, thrashing with a baseball should be a verb now) his car. She is taken in by school principal Lena and her partner Stef, a gay couple.With a couple of children.Couple of children meaning -Stef's biological son Brandon ,two adopted twins - Jesus and Mariana . And by the end of the episode Callie . And Jude . So yeah, full house .



So she's all like

And their all like *AWKWARD*

Initially i was kinda on the fence about this show,i watched the promo a couple of weeks ago and was all "too dark,too depressing" but then one extremely boring afternoon when i had nothing better to do,i gave in.And thank god i did.This little show is a gem about familial relationships ,all kinds of them - the dysfunctional ones,the traditional ones and the  diverse - but- they-still- fit- together- like- a- puzzle ones.Yes,they exist.And yes,they are called the Fosters.

Characters :

1. Lena : Kind , sensitive , patient ,loving, basically a marshmallow. An adorable marshmallow at that.

2. Stef : Tough, smart, strong,a total badass .

   * ya honey i know,we have too many kids*

3. Callie: The kid from the wrong side of the tracks , makes her way slowly and steadily into your hearts.She  made quite the impact on me , considering she only had about 5 dialogues in the last 3 episodes excluding her conversations with a certain guy

*How adorable do i look when i smile *

Which brings us to :

4. BRANDON : Yes,his name is in caps.On purpose. Why u ask ? Just cuz he is the most adorable thing ever. He plays piano ,could totally be a jock if he wanted to ,while also rocking the i'm so sensitive i'll miss my piano competition that could win me a scholarship to save your little brother from your psychotic step father kinda vibe .Yes i love him.I could go on but well <3 <3 <3

P.S : In my defense i did not make this collage , so clearly there r other people who feel the same way abt this guy. . .

OK . Next.

5. Jesus : He has ADD. And a crush on his sister's best friend.DRAMA.

And he  takes the blame for his sister selling his pills to her friends to give money to their junkie step mother. Did i mention DRAMA ( which basically just translates to FUN)

6.Mariana : Comes across as sort of  bitchy at first but starts to grow on you. Sort of lacks a back bone.So no i don't love her yet, but i hold out hope.

7. Lexi : Mariana's best friend,Jesus's secret make out buddy ( girlfriend ? I don't knw. . . )

8. Mark? : I think his name was Mark or something really close to that . Anyways he's Stef's ex husband . And needless to say there is no love lost between him and Lena.

Why you should watch :

* Callie and Brandon's chemistry is crackling.

His piano + her guitar = prettiest musical duo ever

* So is Jesus's and Lexi's ( besides her name is Lexi which makes me love her already (shout out to Lexi Grey)

*Jude - because well LOOK

#That Smile

*  BRANDON

*   BRANDON

* I have seen 3 episodes so far and it  included -  Breach of school policy(by  the principal,several students),  amazing music, jealous girlfriend ,sneaky brother , psychotic step father, junkie biological mother,guns, drugs .You get the idea.On a serious note,this show is one of the most realistic high school kids based show i have ever seen. Plus the characters will crawl into your heart and refuse to leave.

* Ohhh did i mention BRANDON ?

So basically u gotta watch this show ,NOW

PEACE OUT

Why God Why ???!!! 5 TV characters that died and left us mourning. . .

5. Chuck my name's a pick up line Bass 

 Ok,so he didn't really die ,but was there ever a more gut wrenching moment than this on gossip girl ?  Plus him not really being dead meant he could have the awesomest comeback ever as Henry (seriously you couldn't come up with a better name than that).And keep in mind his death was due to an awww inducing moment -
He was all like i will not give up the huge engagement ring i bought for my high school girlfriend to a couple of thugs even though they will clearly shoot me and i can buy like a million of these along with 3 planes and still have enough money to buy a hotel with .Good thing he didn't die though . . .how could we live without his patent chuck bass humor.






 


Just a question though : Who falls down this prettily when dying in an alley. . .






4.  Alaric i'm their uncle Saltzman

 Damon's drinking buddy. Infact his best buddy. So much so that Wiki lists Damon under his relationships right after Aunt Jenna (!!!! , also dead btw : honarary mention) . He was our favourite non official gaurdian of his dead ex girlfriend's nephew and niece (A.K.A the world's most unfortunate teenagers). He taught elena to fight.He taught damon to bond. He dies while totally cuckoo but  got the most tear jerking good bye mystic falls will ever witness . ( for a little while atleast ,Jeremy's death and consequently Elena's goodbye meltdown sort of trumped his)

3. Denny Millionaire Duquette

Who can forget Izzie on that hospital bed in her princess prom dress clutching Denny. She was beautiful .He was dead. Dead after she had fallen head over heals for him,cut the lvad wire ,stole a heart for him,after he had proposed ,like an hour ago.




I was a Alex Izzie shipper but this scene still haunts me. It was painful . And perfect.
Denny also provided for one of the most adorable Alex-is-a-human  moments on Grey's when he carried her off that bed.




He comes back in season 5 . As a ghost .Izzie has sex with him.With his ghost. Ok,lets not talk about this ever again.

2. Lexi-pedia Grey

How could she not be on my list? Meredith resisted, not me. I loved her from the very first time she appeared on our television screens (actually not from the very first moment because then she was being just a girl in a bar part 2 which made me hate her just a tad bit ,so from the very second moment she ever appeared on our television screens). How could you not ? She was cute as a button and taught Mcsteamy to love.  Derek treats her better than any of his sisters (and that's remarkable considering he has like 40 of them).


Sometimes i still wake up in the middle of the night and i'm like





Not,not really,but i could be,that's how badly it hurt .

1. Mark i was born with 6 pack abs Sloan 

So ya another Grey's anatomy casualty . I wonder how the writers come up with this stuff. Hey,he's the most beloved character on our show. Let the plane crash,gotta get him killed !
He was gorgeous and  one half of the most perfect couple in telly land.
Mcsteamy you will forever live in our hearts .And when we start to forget we'll look at this :


(When asked who would he be with,when old and dancing at someone's wedding)




Or this :





It really is a matter of choice . . .


P.S : I will forever blame you dear writers for taking away my favorite people in the world from me. I now understand that this means all my favorite people in this world are fictional . Now i hate you even more.

Question to Shonda : Do you have special lets kill a character meetings once every month or is this a spur of the moment kind of thing?

Mistresses : Gossip Girl Reloaded

 Abc's Mistresses holds the distinction of being the lowest rated premiere for a scripted series since 2011's 'Combat Hospital '.Thus being the black sheep enthusiast that I am , i'm reviewing a show no one could care less about. 

Mistresses follows four girl friends. And,well that's pretty much it. Let's take a quick look at them :

1. Savannah : She's the bored housewife of the bunch. Actually come to think of it she wasn't really bored until about 3 secs till the ending .Well maybe she mentioned it a couple of times (not so subtly ) that she missed being looked at "like that". But i guess when the show is named mistresses the characters don't really have that much of a choice. . .


First who cheat's on this? Look at him.

 
First who cheat's on this? Look at him. Second who cheats on someone who names their restaurant after you? That's a close second to  write a song for me in my  i - will - marry- you - if - u  list .

2. April : Now here's where things get interesting or start going downhill ,depending on how you choose to look at it. April here is a widow .Who still gets calls from her dead husband . Or believes so . On the basis of the heavy breathing on the other end of the phone.Ya, i know .

3. Karen : Her storyline is a little bit more complicated than the others . I'll try to explain .Karen is a therapist who has an affair with a married patient who's sick and then decides to die by taking the morphine that Karen prescribed  for "when things get too painful". Did i mention that his wife was with him when this happened. (I think the wife totally murdered him ,just saying, i called it first ) And then his son stalks Karen till she finally agrees to meet with him so he can talk to her about the other women his father was seeing who ofcourse unbeknownst to him is Karen.Not confusing enough ? that's ok cuz there's more.This creepy dude then proceeds to fall in love with her.Like father,like son.

That's Karen at the said patient's funeral .A little tip Karen - Don't go to your dead lover's funeral who also happened to be your patient ,especially when the morphine you prescribed killed him.And definitely don't sit with his family.Not even if his wife insists.She didn't know you had that affair.

4. Joss: So saving the best for the last Joss is a real estate agent who climbs up the corporate ladder by sleeping with her boss but  is smart enough to kick him to the curb when he decides to buy her a love nest so that he can sleep with her whenever he wants to .Smart move girlfriend,smart move. Oh did i mention the boss is married too.
Atleast joss is funny,bad life decisions seem to be a pre-requisite for every character on this show.And not to mention single, i mean nobody on this show seems to be faithful anyway. Except, Savannah's husband ,who won't last long given that Joss is moving in with them. I mean have you seen that girl.I practically screamed at Savannah for being so stupid .TV wives i tell u.

Final word : So all everyone ever does on this show is have sex . All.The .Time . There are five sex scenes in the first episode. Four of which happen in the first 15 mins. Or maybe there were 6. After a point u lose count. Honestly,watch this show because its ridiculous ,so ridiculous that its almost funny ,so ridiculous that April's dead husband calls her on the phone every time he wants to stop her from going on a date and conveys this through mouth breathing .On the phone ? i mean really? Ur dead and you still use communication mediums that we humans do? I mean with the connectivity issues nowadays. I'm appalled. Oh wait, i remember now , that was actually her dead husband's girlfriend who was calling to talk to her about the kid she had with him . Ok writers ,we get it ,this show is named MISTRESSES .Way to prove a point.
