Lying Game posts will not be continued, and more...

1/24/2012
Maybe you have or haven't noticed, but I didn't post about last week's episode and I will not continue posting on the Lying Games again. It has become so unbearably boring that this week, I found myself eager to organize 150 crayons rather than pay attention to the show. Therefore, I will cease posting on episodes of the Lying Game for an uncertain amount of time, possibly forever. I will however, continue to my weekly Pretty Little Liars Posts and continue working on other types of posts for your enjoyment.

It's 6 hours 'till bedtime; I say watch, don't wait.

2.16 Let the Water Hold Me Down

Pretty Little Liars (1/16/11)

Pretty Little Liars - Hanna drinks lake water

After climbing out of the lake, Hanna is now inside, somewhere, being taken care of by the other girls. I laughed when Hanna drank the lake water, but I have some concerns: Didn't it look like coffee? and, did the line "That's lake water" said by Aria sound like it was a voice over added later? Weird. Lucas is still missing, and Hanna is scared that he might come back to kill her, since they figure out that he might be "A" and "A" has been hiding out in the attic of Spencer's lake house.

Pretty Little Liars - Toy boat in the sink

At school, Holden asks Aria out on a date, although Aria uses it as a cover to run into Ezra. Hanna and Mona are in a cat fight since Hanna is selfish and isn't listening and being there for Mona. Although Mona may be clueless sometimes, she's actually a loyal friend and she's right. Hanna, upset, goes into the bathroom to cry. She is forced out of her stall though, when the sink begins to flood, discovering that "A" has been in there, setting up a boat in the sink to mock Hanna. Emily gets a creepy call but it turns out it's only Maya. Still, it's scary when she goes, "See you later" in that mock-deep voice of hers. 

Pretty Little Liars - Smitty's Newsstand

Later, Spencer and Aria buy train tickets to Philadelphia to check out the place advertised on the receipt they found in "A's" attic stash. Meanwhile, Hanna and Caleb get into an argument about Lucas, ending with Caleb leaving to go find him. They disagree on the importance of finding Lucas; Caleb wants to go look for him and we all know why Hanna doesn't. Spencer and Aria figure their trip was a bust, but after Aria leaves for the date that she's morally questioning, Spencer makes a shocking discovery: there are a lot of blind people in this area. With a little more digging, she finds the rehabilitation center for the blind that Jenna went to, and discovers some shocking facts about her after talking with one of her friends. Before she leaves, she steals one of the sign-in books from the receptionist who, by the way, is a bitch.

Pretty Little Liars - Emily's disturbed face

 As for Emily and Maya, everything seems to be going well except for the fact that Maya has been getting some odd phone calls lately, causing her to act detached and ultimately, worrying Emily that "A" might be harassing her too. Later, Emily borrows Aria's fake ID for Maya for the place they are going to, and Aria goes to meet Holden at the Rangely Playhouse (a theater) while paranoid Hanna stays home alone. Caleb hasn't come back yet, and Hanna is worried. After the movie or play, or whatever, Holden tells her that he knows what her ulterior motives were for the date and they agree to some sort of arrangement. On her way home, Spencer runs into Mona who has apparently been shopping her troubles away and gives her advice on her breakup with Noel. Also, Maya reveals her secret to Emily: she hooked up with someone during their time apart, and it's a GUY!?! 


Finally, the episode launches into it's weekly expected intensity. The back door flies open in Hanna's house but she lock it too late, because someone is already inside!! GASP "A" is in her house! Although to me it looks like Lucas, we'll see in a minute whether it really is or not and if he/she is going to kill Hanna. Eh, I lied, I'll tell you now. It IS Lucas! And he looks positively creepy.

Pretty Little Liars - Lucas is agitated

 Anyway, just as it seems like Lucas is going to kill her, Caleb is summoned and Lucas spills everything. As it turns out, it was all a misunderstanding. Instead of being "A's" helper, he was being eaten by the guilt of losing all of Caleb's money. Fortunately, he sold his comics and was able to pay back some money, although things are far from resolved.


It's 3 hours 'till bedtime; I say watch, don't wait.

2.15 "A Hot Piece of 'A' "

Pretty Little Liars (1/09/2012)

Pretty Little Liars - Garrett talks to Toby.

This week's episode picks up right where the last one leaves off, when the girls gather inside the greenhouse after discovering "A's" cell phone. Everybody but Hanna wants to take it to Caleb in hopes that he can crack open the lock for them, but they proceed anyway. Unfortunately, they can only get a few files before "A" disables the phone.

1.12 "When We Dead Awaken" - We Turn Into Creatures of the Night

The Lying Game (1/09/2012)

The Lying Game - Mads, Char, and Emma hug it out.

This episode picks off exactly where the last one ended. Ethan and Thayer think that this is just another one of Sutton's "Lying Games" and make a plan to try to beat Sutton at her own game. In addition, Phyllis has fallen off the wagon and is admitted to a rehabilitation facility by none other than Rebecca, who is coincidentally also trying to get custody of Char.

4.27 Who Will Be the Family Wizard (Series Finale)

Wizard of Waverly Place title card

That Wizards of Waverly Place episode sucked.

 What a disappointing ending to a fantastic series. Unfortunately, it was anticlimactic and unsatisfying. The acting was so bad that I couldn't tell if María Canals Barrera was serious or sarcastic. The most emotional part of the episode was when Justin and Max Russo finally forgave and apologized to Alex, and even that was expected; it had been done before. 

Honestly, it was the worst moment in Wizards history. I felt nothing. It didn't make me laugh, cry, feel sorry for any of them. At least, not as much as it was supposed to. It was truly disappointing.

 I don't even want to know what was going through Vince Cheung, Ben Montanio, and Todd J. Greenwald's (writers of the episode) minds when they wrote that and decided that it was the ending to Diney Channel's longest running series since That's So Raven.

Cast of Wizards of Waverly Place

It's tragic really, but I'll still always remember Wizards by my personal favorite episode, "Wizards vs. Werewolves"; it contained action, comedy, romance, and most importantly, had depth. Selena Gomez's heartbreaking scene in the middle of that episode really had me rooting for her. And, let's not forget her amazing performance in "Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie". Her character developed so much in that movie and it was full of so many great scenes. That was the most definitely the best moment in Wizards history. 

I just feel that "Who Will Be the Family Wizard" didn't live up to all the hype and certainly did not deserve to be the final note in the series. It seemed like something they just threw in to end the show. Like nothing was thought out twice, like they just tied up the loose ends in the simplest way possible, regardless of the lack of content.

It's bedtime; and I say watch, don't wait.

1.11 O Twin, Where Art Thou - Probably Dead, by the Looks of It

The Lying Game: (1/2/12 Winter Premier)

The Lying Game - Why are Emma and Ethan confused?

The Lying Game is back, starting right where it left off, although I must say the episode was kind of slow. But anyway, let's get on with the show!

2.14 Through Many Dangers, Toils and Snares

Pretty Little Liars: (1/2/12 Winter Premier)

Pretty Little Liars - Spencer and Emily fight.

What an exciting return for Pretty Little Liars! We have recently learned that the identity of "A" will be revealed this spring, and another thing: a beloved character will die! (by the end of the season) This is of course, excluding the four female leads.
