Lost

I realize that Lost is kind of an old show, and considering they don't make it anymore, you're probably wondering why I'm doing a blog about it. Well, I have netflix on my TV (which is a godsend) and Lost is on it. So bascically I can watch it whenever I want, which is both bad and good. Anyway, when I found out netflix had all of the seasons of Lost, I decided to rewatch it all.

This show, in a nutshell, is about plane crash survivors stranded on an island. The plane was headed from Austrailia to Los Angeles, and was full of people with messed up pasts. Obviously it's supposed to be a coincidence, but in reality, it would be too much of a coincidence. But I'm not complaining, it makes for a good show. The show just ends up being about the survivors' struggle to get off of the island, mixed in with flashbacks of their past. As the show progresses, you realize all the crazy stuff that goes on on the island.

Show has gotten a lot of criticism for the fact that the writers pose a lot of questions that they just decide not to answer. It does get somewhat annoying, but the show is still really good. And at the end of the series, the writers try to wrap everything up. I just don't think they realized what they were getting into when they set up the multiple plot lines (there's A LOT to follow). I told my friend he should start watching Lost and he said, "i heard that's the most confusing show ever." You get the idea.

Even though you have to pay close attention to everything that goes on, on the island and off, I'd still say it's one of my favorite shows ever. I mean, I'm watching it for the second time, doesn't that say enough?

Dance Moms

Talk about the best reality show ever. Basically this show is about these little girls who are really amazing dancers (they're like 6-13) and how psyco their moms are. And Abby, their dance teacher. She's the worst.

So the best dancer at the studio is Maddie, and she has a little sister named Makenzie. Their mom's name is Melissa. All the other moms get really jealous of Maddie because none of their daughters are as good as her. Except for maybe Chloe. Her mom, Christi, is super over-emotional about wanting Chloe to feel special, important, and blah blah blah. I like Chloe though because she's the least annoying. And she's almost as good as Maddie. The oldest dancer's name is Brooke. I feel bad for her because she's a few years older than all of the other girls and Abby never really gives her any attention. She has a little sister named Paige who is pretty average too (well, compared to the girls on the show). Brooke and Paige's mom, Kelly, always freaks out on Abby about how she never gives her girls any attention because she only focuses on Maddie.

There's this one lady named Kathy, who has her own dance studio, but brings her 6-ish year old daughter to the Abby Lee Dance Studio cause she wants her to be the best of the best. hahahahhaha. It turns out her daughter, Vicki, sucks realllllly bad. Abby and Kathy end up in a fight and she leaves the studio. She later brings her daughter to a competition to compete against Abby's girls and she loses.

I can't wait for the second season.

Castle

Castle encourages my crime show addiction.As any other crime show would, every victim has a totally unrealistic means of death, and every episode has a twist ending. I guess you could call it a "dramedy" which is a really stupid name for a genre, but I don't have another word for it.

Richard Castle is a ridiculously rich and famous murder mystery novel author. Being rich and famous somehow enabled him to become friends with the mayor of New York City (the mayor isn't actually a character in the show, but Castle brings him up a lot). Richard got the "okay" from the mayor to "shadow" Kate Beckett, an NYPD homicide detective, for his upcoming book.

The entire show is just about all the murders that Kate has to investigate. Castle turns out to be a huge help, considering he is a murder mystery writer.

After Castle finishes his book, "Heat Wave," in which the main character is homicide detective Nikki Heat (clearly modeled off of Kate), he remains at Kate's side, basically a detective himself.




While the show does have its fair share of drama, I'd say its mostly comedy, because Castle is hilarious. He always has the perfect thing to say. The situation of Kate's mother being murdered (before the time frame of the show) adds the drama aspect that the show needs.

The last thing I need to add is that Beckett and Castle are in love, they just don't admit it to each other, or even themselves. It's bound to come out sometime though, right?
