The Comebacks

Three of my (many) favorites made a comeback today. So that meant no movies, just TV.

S06E13 Bad News

How I Met Your Mother came back today with Bad News. They introduced Barney's doppelganger Dr. Stangel--a fertility expert. Ironic, huh? The Dr. Stanel character was pretty bland for my taste--a complete opposite to Barney's exaggerated character. He was boring. All the other doppelgangers were awesome. Especially Mexican wrestler Ted. Haha. He was awesome.

Anyway, I was done watching the episode when I remembered that the episode contains a 50 to 1 countdown. I didn't really notice it (at least, some) while I was watching it so I re-watched it and screencapped all of it (see right). It was tedious, but worth it. You can't really see much of it in the picture even if you enlarge it because of the size limit on the Tumblr uploader, where I uploaded it originally. Anyway, I'm not going to say anymore because I'm seriously against spoilers. (Although sometimes, I do spoil when I get into it too much). I'll just let the pictures do that for me.

When I first heard of the countdown, I was wishing it was a countdown to anything related to Ted and dating. Seriously, who hasn't thought about Ted finally getting a proper date? I have! I've said this before, and I'm saying it again: It just isn't How I Met Your Mother without Ted actually looking to meet the mother. And the married girl doesn't count.

A lot of people are making a comeback this year. Sandy Rivers, for one, came back in this episode. Since he is now working with Robin (again), it might be safe to say that we'll be seeing more of him in the coming episodes. Robin Sparkles also made a comeback this episode. But that's no shocker. We see her all the time.

What I want, to be frank, is a comeback of the Barney-Robin storyline. It may be an unpopular storyline to many viewers, but I like it. Maybe if the writers can think of a good way to make it work without making Barney so un-Barney-like? Maybe. But that's something I'd really like to see in the future. Besides, hasn't it been said that that storyline isn't over yet? Stop teasing. Gimme!

S04E01 Defending Your Honor

GREEK's back with its final season. Cue the tears. Casey, Ashleigh and Evan have graduated. Staying true to last season, Cappie didn't graduate yet. That mean's Cappie's still the KT president, while Calvin's the president of Omega Chi and Rebecca of ZBZ.

I don't really know how GREEK is going to push through with most of its main characters having graduated. Sure, they're still in CRU (except for my fave, Ashleigh, who's already working in New York--does this mean we won't see much of her anymore? NOOO!) but that kind of beats the purpose of the show being Greek. Are they going to pull a Cougar Town? They better do, because that show is awesome!

Anyway, before I move on to the next show, I would like to make special mention of Samuel Page aka Joel in GREEK (and Colin Forrester in Gossip Girl, and Sam Allen in Desperate Housewives, and Victor in Melrose Place, among others). I guess he stayed true to his claim to fame--the charismatic guy you adore then catches you off guard by turning out to be a major douche. Okay, maybe the second half of that didn't exactly come true in Gossip Girl, but it comes around so often it just makes it true.

And Dean Bowman! I can't look at him the same way since I saw Ferris Bueller's Day Off last year. It makes it hard to take him seriously as an authority figure. Haha.







It seems like GREEK really is ending it with this season with Rusty telling Cassie that it's "Cappie's last year". Last year of what? He didn't specify.

S01E11 Moments Later

Ending tonight with Pretty Little Liars. Waited too long for the second half of the first season, especially since the first half ended with Hanna getting run over a car driven by--who else--A.

One of the reasons why I love PLL is the boys. They are so cute! All of them (fine, most) are so cute that it's hard to hate them when you're supposed to. It's hard to not like Noel Kahn because he's so cute. Aren't we supposed to like Ezra Fitz for Aria? Anyway, I hope they keep Noel onscreen for a long time and not disappear to nowhere like other "disposable" secondary characters. Where is Wren, by the way? I miss that guy.

Aria's turning out to be my favorite Liar. Plus, she looks really pretty in this screencap. She doesn't look like a high school student though, but whatevs. I thought it would be Spencer, but she's turning out to be too uptight and judgmental. Maybe Emily, but her parents annoy me, and therefore, her storyline.




I love the little tidbits of A when the credits role. It makes me want to read the books. I know the series might not reveal the same A, but I don't want to take any chances. That' why I'm restraining myself from reading the book(s). I just want to know who A is already. I can't wait. Then I can read the books.





None of my favorite shows are making a comeback tomorrow. I have to wait until January 6th when Cougar Town and Modern Family come back. So I may be watching movies tomorrow, unless I get to busy with school work.

Until tomorrow's film adventures then (hopefully)!
