I was pleasantly surprised to hear the song,. "Carry On" by The Samples on a commercial for MSNBC for the midterm elections. Great song. My sister loved them in college and this was in 1998! So this is a older song. "But I'll meet you at the election When I vote for the hope of this land Carry on Carry on"

from the NBC lineup, I always thought Frasier did it well. It still gets me when he quotes Ulysses. Such beauty. "We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." It wrapped up nicely with everyone getting their ending and Frasier finding another journey. Friends was wonderful too with "Embryonic Journey" by Jefferson Airplane playing as they walked out. I guess I'm a sucker for good music and timeless words....LOL!

Did they get married in Cornwall? I want to go there so badly! (Poldark fan here!) They did have a beautiful setting for a wedding....too bad NO ONE came. That was depressing.

I was gonna say....why did she have to walk that far with Lucy with her? Even though Jon has no prospects, he does clean up nice, I'll give him that.

Paul and the Google...it blows my mind that's how they have to communicate! It was so cute with Colin Firth in Love Actually but this ain't it!

OMG you made me howl so hard!! :) I just don't get it...like girl, wear some leggings and converse. Those trains are NOT comfortable!

Where is Darcy going so dressed up? btw, it does totally suck to sleep with someone and then never hear from them again...(even though they will!) but you always hope maybe.... Darcy is dumb but I hate Jesse more

So Randall's arc this season will be his identity... I enjoy the teenager timeline alot. I think Mandy Moore does the best work in that time, maybe because of the emotional tug she has to play but they all really do well dealing with Jack and his death, without making it extreme. The kids always bring it too and every time I watch it, I'm amazed how much they nail their older selves, especially Kate. This felt more filler but I did like the Toby smackdown, as out of character it was, he really was right. I do not like harpy Rebecca, as much as I understand it, and I really don't buy Mandy as that old. It does take me out sometimes. It's the little things the show does well and I like that. Every little story means something.

I loved it. I loved that they weave the stories and you aren't dizzy by all the change. Beth was my favorite this week. The way she protected Kevin and her cousin was wonderful. So much intrigue with the flash forward! And so we know WHY Toby is off the meds. Voice the feeling and then let it breathe. This show does it so well! I'm glad to see the show exploring their lives away from Jack's death since that was such a pillar last season.

This show never fails to put me in a good mood! The early seasons really are comedic gold. I did like the later seasons but agree that Daphne's mom did grate but one of my favorite episodes is when Niles and Daphne get married like 3 times. "If people got to decide things for themselves, no one would go to church. " As a Catholic, makes me howl every time! I did think Charlotte was a weak love interest for Frasier, as I always loved Faye for him. I loved the Cassandra triangle with the three of them but Faye was so much my favorite. Part of me wishes they could have kept someone around for him. And for Roz. I liked that Roz was an independent, single mom but boy I really felt for her when she broke up with Roger. I always wanted her to find love too. I miss John Mahoney and Peter Angell and wish they were still both around to perform and write. Just makes you miss the show but also happy that it lives on so well! The words of the last episode when Frasier recites Ulysses is beautiful. Gets me misty every time. They did the mistaken identity was genius and they did alot of it! Funny and witty!

I tuned in but I'm kinda meh on it. I was kinda bored to be honest. I think I sometimes enjoy the shows that you have to keep watching to learn more but usually I'm a one and done kinda show person meaning you can watch whenever and don't get lost. The sister and cop that's married to her best friend took up alot of time and I was not loving them. I just didn't care about him that much. The other family was a little more interesting but you know the mom has another guy or husband so that will drag. I just don't know if i care enough to keep watching...maybe it's an OnDemand and watch a few at a time.

I enjoyed this on a rainy Friday afternoon. It really felt like another John Hughes, especially the film score. I really enjoyed the background music. I will say All The Boys was better, as I think the story was more cohesive and it had a little more magic. I enjoyed the Sierra and Veronica friendship the most, and I think that's what most people latched on to as they reviewed the film. I did miss an actual apology from Sierra as Veronica really did some amazing things for her at the end. And I admit, Noah is adorable as all! He could fit in nicely with the Brat Pack of the 80s. Wonder if another one will come around! It's fun to see these movies on Netflix and not have to pay to go the theater. It's great! And goodness Alan Ruck is old! Did love him and Lea Thompson playing the parents, another nice ode to their participation in the 80s rule of teenage movies. Keep these coming Netflix!

I was so happy to see the show was back again but I was like, 2 hours? Seriously??!! And somehow I stayed up even though I had to go to bed. I actually thought the woman who did everything herself should have won. The carriage thing was hysterical but the way she did everything herself was very impressive. I felt like it really nailed the whole point of a theme because she did it so well. And the girl with the unlimited budget? Really? I was not impressed. And I can't believe they both chose the same dress, that's really odd. And I def believe the last bride told her all about it and the "unlimited" budget bride got it second. I liked the way the rustic girl (sorry, bad with the names, haha!) made the sleeves and made it more her. And friends for life? More like friends for the time being. The show totally encouraged them all to get together and then they could be on the show. I'm actually surprised they all seemed to like the food mostly. The older episodes there was always a big thing about the food. But no 2 hours! The hour format was so much better. I just don't care that much about the couples and their story. Show me the dress, the ceremony, and the reception.

YES! The minute he was on screen I was like, that could be a teenage Mark! He sounded like him exactly! I thought this movie was beyond adorable and something John Hughes would have totally loved. It felt very his style. I am pretty sure Netflix would do the next story since this got great reviews and everything about it clicked.

I wish they wouldn't spend so much time rehashing the stories but still, this was still full of train wreck! These people are the worst. Can you even? I mean Ricky, she's not real! Angela, holy, and the Trump love was just...yeah he loves you. Michael's friends were a riot. These people live in fairytale land and wow, I have made excuses for my ex who was nothing but a jerk to me, but they take it to a new level! Jon is a real catch...as he throws up on the sidewalk. Paul can't even talk to her...that is awesome! And he's got some major issues, taking a pregnancy test.... And Darcy, you do NOT deserve to be treated that way. Yes, she's made some questionable choices but WOW! Though does remind me of my ex, when you know they are being nothing but awful and yet you justify it because you FIGHT for love. Not that way you don't. This just makes those people overseas realize how easy it is to scam some people. Cringe worthy and yet, I have to know what happens with these people.

OMG this show! I just got TLC back from not having it for a year and wow, these people! Darcy lives like 30 minutes from me and that's both funny and odd. Like girl, Jesse is NOT into you. What was up with him in the car? What a douche. Not sure of Paul's motivations but dang if he doesn't need a girl from the States. And bringing her 8 month old along? What in the what? Ricky haven't you heard of Google or you know Catfish? These people DON"T do any research! I had a feeling I was being catfished and sure enough I was, and even better yet, I messaged the original guy letting him know. It took all of like a day to put the pieces together. PEOPLE there is a thing called research! I can't with these people but YES if I'm not here for it. I want the whole season now because these people! "TRUE LOVE!" More like TRUE LIES.

I was excited for this one...only because Costner, #dang. I too found parts a little long. And so many people. I was so confused on the family relationships (who was related to who?) and goodness yes, the daughter was terrible. I could have done without her drawn out speeches and weird women are powerful statements or whatever. I enjoyed the scenery (very pretty!) and the music was a little interesting. I wish it didn't try so hard to feel gritty at times but I'm interested to see where they take it. It felt like Dallas/Dynasty without some of the snark. I'm in only because summer watching and Costner. He still has it to me.

Love all these posts to pieces!!! You know the only reason Robert stole the words from the letters was purely plot driven because honestly, Robert never needed the words. When he kissed her the first time and then he proposed, those were HIS. That was just another dumb wedge between him and Willow that didn't make any sense and I'm sure it was explained away by Robert, as it should be because while that's not cool, it could be seen as Robert's desperation move to hold onto Willow. Because we never saw alot of Willow and Robert behind closed doors, so much is left to interpretation which is why they left the finale so nerve wracking. If we SAW all of that, we wouldn't be surprised by anything that they did. I would hope there's some good fanfics out there filling in those blanks. And YES to Max Brown saving the show. And Willow as an extension because the relationship was the only real interesting this season and while I wished they did more with them, they couldn't because of the ambiguity they had to keep having episode after episode on where they stood, especially the last few. I will say I keep wondering if that fight about the blackout was real. I think it was and so WELL done. I'm glad we saw that much because otherwise you would wonder if Willow did know the real Robert and if Robert really did love her. (The fans of them know he does, but to everyone else, it seemed so obvious because he couldn't let her walk away like that and he couldn't speak to her that way) I will find it interesting how quickly she did say, 'I overreacted to you. I'm sorry.' I know why she did but I always get thrown off when a fight just ends suddenly like that and everything is "ok". It wasn't but I wonder if Robert carried that with him as he spoke to her in the church. Cassandra was another plot point to wedge them. Her whole speech to Robert in the birthday party episode was just to put him off kilter and throw more fire to the Willow intensions. She didn't love Liam but he's guarded and insecure about happiness, so of course he's going to feed into her crap. And he might have, but we don't really know, because they didn't flesh out his fear enough in that respect and Willow did speak her love for him. Overall the show could have done more with them but with other stories and people, they can only have so much. But I will say the parts we did get, were wonderful. I don't expect another season but if there's another one, it will be interesting how it all plays out between the King, Queen and everyone else. I really just want to see Robert and Willow just take them all down.

Oh I also wanted to mention that Willow and Robert know who each other truly are! Everyone was nervous that Willow didn't know the real Robert. She knows now and she still said yes. But yes! We need to fill in the gaps because it's so interesting that Willow seemed to want to tell Robert the plan in the beginning and then they had a huge fight so she couldn't have. And then whatever he said to her before the altar really must have changed her mind. I'm also glad for all the build up of guns, no shots fired. Did anyone else find it odd that Jasper's dad was clearly seen and no one was like, um, ok? I thought he would play a bigger role than that. And you can't convince me that Robert didn't know ANYTHING about the overtaking. And who were those people taking Kathryn away? Who planned that? But like I said, I'm glad it just finished nicely and not with something in the air. Part of me thinks they decided to do it that way in case they didn't get another season. To me, that wasn't much of a cliffhanger because nothing was really in the balance other than Kathryn and her baby and please, that doesn't make things interesting to me. And second the whole design of this episode. The lightning, the framing and the use of the surroundings was amazing. I loved the way it was shot. Lots of long camera work. And the music really is amazing on this show. To think that's why I tuned in again. The music of all things?! And I want to care about Jasper and Eleanor but goodness they are boring. And dry. Off to do some gifs, graphics and lots of squee.

Ok so this was SOOOO interesting because so much was behind the scenes that we did NOT see and till the end you weren't sure if she was in. I have to say I LOVED the conversation between Robert and his father. Well done show. And again, the back and forth they do with Robert. One second he's evil, the very next he's soft. Back and forth he goes. Willow spoke to him in the beginning. And then he spoke to her before the wedding, What was said? I have to say I LOVED their fight. Only because you KNOW he can't turn himself off to the darkness and yet, he really didn't want her to go. I will be happy with this ending if this the end. I have some good ideas where Kathryn ends up and what becomes of some of the others. An enjoyable finale but also because Max Brown really brought it all. Long live the King and Queen!!!!!

Totally agree on angst. I love angst when it's done right and I know Max and Genevieve can pull it off as evidenced by Willow going after Robert about keeping her in the dark this episode. I'm still hopeful that Robert is genuine with Willow and the way Max plays it, makes it seem that he does and I would love any scene where Robert makes that clear to her but I doubt think that's going to happen. Sigh. And yes! People love Max Brown as well as Robert and Willow on tumblr. I would advise everyone to go and search 'robert x willow' or 'rillow' for some gif's galore. I love it because there's alot of good stuff to watch and enjoy. Watching it back, there's NO WAY Robert is playing Willow the whole time. But of course that's the fan in me. I really do think there will be something that will happen NO one will see coming that will end the season.

SAME. I do find it interesting they built the whole romance of Willow and Robert, only to see it crashing down for the sake of what? To see what a bad person Robert is?? PUL-EEZE. He runs circles around these people and that's a testament to Max Brown because he can do both delicious evil and soft heartache all in the same line. And I think that's also because him and Willow just have such a natural ease with one another and really sparkle together. Honestly, I think Max and Genevieve saw magic and they really put their effort behind the relationship being great and not just a plot point. The problem is the show has a following but not big enough for them to really get their due. (I'm finding Twitter lacking but Tumblr is full of good stuff). Since we know something goes down (a shooting or something) I hope it can end with some kind of love between Willow and Robert and Willow doesn't go full, "You betrayed me" on him. I couldn't take it. I can take the angst of him wanting her and she taking his apology in some way but I doubt that will happen since I'm sure it will end with shots ringing out, he's hit and end scene. It' going to end on some kind of cliffhanger so I don't expect ANYTHING to be remedied, and that def goes with Willow and Robert. I don't think she's going to say no to him but she's going to do SOMETHING (which will piss me off I'm sure). IF there is a S5, (A BIG ONE!) I do think Willow and Robert will be explored more and I don't see Robert going anywhere. He's THE reason I got back into the show.

Oh man! That was something...else. I could have done without the whole recap of the plan in the first few minutes and I really didn't need all the time on the "Robin Hood" thing. I think Willow humanizes Robert but he's so far gone that he can't see the truths from the lies. I will say Max Brown sells it so well but the way the camera panned on his face before Willow came into the room and he proposed again, was quite dark (and yet pensive at the same time). I think next week is gonna be pretty amazing so I'm excited for it and I'm curious to see how it ends. I think Willow "wants" to expose Robert but in the end, she won't. And funny how she would be the one to blow it up in the grand scheme. I really don't think this show is meant for a S5 so I'm going to see how the theories on what would have happened at the end of next week. I laughed because basically Robert was in that room in every one of his scenes but wearing different clothes. Did he ever leave? I would be shocked that Robert wouldn't tail some of these people, especially Liam and he would catch on pretty quick on what was going on. But maybe Robert is on the deception and has his own plan. I would love for him to really say he loves Willow but she can't ever trust him. BOOOOO!!

Ugh I know right? I think what has made the season so enjoyable for me, is not just Max Brown as eye candy (because HELLO) but because he plays Robert with layers. I think that's why I love him with Willow because she's good and sweet and sees the goodness. In reality, he would be a crazy sociopath for the sake of this show, he has depth and meaning to him, at least that's how Max plays him and if they go with this all in villain stuff, that just stinks to me. I think he will be able to save his relationship with Willow (somehow) but I do fear it's only going to end terrible at the end. Does he deserve it? Sure. But I want them to play it with depth and breadth and not pull Robert into this vortex of EVIL. It's just too easy when I hope they still have something exciting to pull from. And I need more Max Brown as Robert. Thanks. (Can you sense I'm not ready to say goodbye to his character?)

This episode was filler for sure but set up for the showdown in the last few episodes. I'm surprised they were all in at the end especially with Kathryn. And again, could she be any duller? I like Willow and Eleanor together. That was very sweet. I'm always happy to see Eleanor away from Jasper since they suck up alot of time (I was once a fan of them but then they just grated and they set up Willow and Robert and it was just so much better) which leads me... Damn, I did NOT expect Willow to back up from Robert. I think that was savage and he was hurt. He REALLY does care for her but she knows he's got issues. Next week looks super angsty but I say bring it because I loved see sassy Willow. And I want Robert to feel the regret and remorse of hurting her especially. But Max Brown, stop being SO DANG SEXY! I can't. I really can't. And Willow DEF wants Robert but on a level playing field. I don't see her in "any plan" and I'll be pissed if she's revealed to be with Liam and Cyrus. I doubt for sure but still, they could have her motivations. I think she's genuine in what she feels for him but she knows it comes with a price (if he doesn't get honest with her). I'm feeling that Robert and Willow will be strained but somehow he will bring her back in, and I hope he doesn't his "I'm the king" to get her back. I am pumped even though I know it's going to end in a crazy way (And I have little hope for S5). But Max Brown said these were his favorite episodes 9 and 10, so you know it goes down. Everyone is playing everyone.
