Revenge got some more Revenge, but do I care?
Trying to bring the New Year in with a Revenge-riffic episode, Emily and Co. just managed to deliver more of the same. There was one happy development of allies, but, of course, who can really be allies with Emily? I beg of the network, the show runner, the writers; please get rid of the whole Jack side story. It's lame. It's boring. And it offers nothing to the semi-descent show. In fact, it is weighing down what good is left. Season 1 was so on point and easy to follow. Now, everything and everyone is so convoluted that it's becoming easier to shrug my shoulders and just not care. Someone needs to check this Hampton ship before some one wrecks it. That's all I have to say about that.

Nashville is my new Revenge as far as addictions go
Around this time last fall I was ranting and raving about the pilot episode and upcoming full season of Revenge. I knew that show was going to be a smash, at least for 1 season.
Well, I've just finished watching Nashville. And let me say, it's the new Revenge. This show is gonna have me clamoring for Wednesday nights like an addict waiting for a fix.
Let's start with Hayden Panettiere's character (Juliette Barnes): bitch scares me. She is the epitome of what is wrong and sometimes right with music, acting, and young fame. Her shift from sweet to mean is effortlessly perfect. Also, it's fascinating to see such strength and wanting in a young ingenue's eyes.
Onto Connie Britton's character Rayna Jaymes, as the aging country singer whose career isn't as top notch as it used to be. Rayna despises the upcoming Juliette, but what's so great about that is I'm sure Rayna was the same way at that age, just with more natural talent, perhaps?
The other main character is Nashville, the city itself. The politics, the music, the heart ache, the beauty, serve as the underlying character that really moves everything forward and sometimes backwards.
All in all, Nashville is my favorite pilot of the Fall 2012 season. That's hard to say, cause Matthew Perry's show Go On is impecible, but I'm just a sucker for drama and music shoved into 42 glorious minutes.
I'll leave you with "If I Didn't Know Better" sung at the end of Nashville. The song is brilliant. And if you didn't know, it's a Civil Wars song. But that's okay, cause these actors do it justice.

Excitements
Monday morning and all I can think about is how excited I am for Sunday night. 7 days. Only 7 more days and I get to bask in the glow of Homeland, Dexter, and Revenge. All On The Same Night. It's Peanut Butter with the Chocolate kinda good.
Until then. We say adieu to Big Brother. Ian wins and we are all very happy for him and blah blah blah. I still think Dan deserves to win. Mastermind of Gods (MOG). I'm coining that right now. Dan is the MOG. I'm glad he got some money. He deserved it. I'm gonna miss Big Brother. Till next summer I'll dream of watching another Dan-esque character running the minds of his 5 minions. *sigh*
Special mention to the return of The Office. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Kevin and his turtle was perfect comedic work. I highly look forward to every episode. The bar has been set!
