I know "ratings" count. Well ratings count because of advertisers, right? But based off of what I've seen online ratings don't tell the whole story.
Ratings CLEARLY lie. They only take into account live viewings and even then I think its skewed.
IMO somethings gotta give. They need to start looking at other ways people watch TV because its clear not everyone views things live. We have options...LOTS OF OPTIONS. I can tell you with 100% certainty I watch a lot of shows the next day or so after they air...on the network's app. If I'm home I watch live but that's not always the case.
So why why why why why did FOX cancel Lucifer?!?!?!? I know there is a giant fan following for this show. "But the ratings weren't there."
F**k off! The ratings weren't there my @$$! Open twitter and you can see the f**king insane following for that show. Open Tumblr (with caution) and you see even more. So how are the "ratings not there"?!?!?
My only conclusion is they literally only consider Live Broadcasts and you are right, not everyone watches live. And by Live I mean the time the show airs.
The excuse is "because we need the pull for the advertisers". Okay...hear me out....PUT THE ADVERTS ON THE STREAMING APPS! Yea yea yea, its not the same. And you people wonder why cable is dying out?!?!? People pay to DVR, but you punish them by canceling their favorite shows because they DVR'd and didn't watch live.
Its a f**king double edged sword.
I said I hated FOX in 2002 when they canceled Firefly. That was stupid. That show was f**king gold and I will never be over it! I hated them again when they canceled Futurama in 2003. I wanted to spit nails when they axed Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles in 2009.
They realized their mistake kind of with Firefly and did a movie to "appease" the fans. Yes, we appreciated it but would have LOVED MORE DAMMIT. Same with Futurama...Comedy Central brought it back and it was wildly successful until it was axed again *rolling eyes*.
They never brought back Terminator...boooo stupid FOX.
Anyways they have now axed LUCIFER and The Exorcist and Brooklyn nine nine!!! The Exorcist...okay fine...I guess. I really liked it but whatever. Brooklyn was picked up by NBC so ok ok...But LUCIFER!?!?!? I don't get it!
In the edited words of Shepherd "...you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater....and FOX for cancelling amazing shows!!!"

Team Incest
Yes I just said that...
DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE GoT Season 7 Finale.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
So while I am 100% grossed out by Cersi & Jamie, I was all about Jon bumping uglies with Dany. Yea I said that. Go 'head King of the North, defile your Auntie.
Obviously LOTS happened in the finale. Cersi is still a tw@t and I think my theory of Jamie leaving her or killing her is looking like it may be coming true. He realizes she is f**king A nuts!
Tyrion seems conflicted about the Wolf/Dragon hook up.
Brianne reaching out to Jamie gave me life.
Littlefinger FINALLY getting what he deserves. As Sansa was reciting the charges, I was like no no no no Sansa do NOT do this to Arya. And then she says Lord Baelish. WHAT??!?! Yaaaas, f**king YAAAASSS!
So many things...all culminating in *brown chicken brown cow* family love....
Did I mention the DEAD F**KING DRAGON SHOWING UP...? No...yea that happened.
Night King, came riding in on Viserion and destroyed the wall...CRAP...this is bad...this is very not good....this is very bad and not good!!!!
Oh yea and Jon's name...is Aegon Targaryen and Bran & Sam know...and they just can't wait to tell him. OH dear....how is the new couple gonna react to that one....
Yea....just be glad I didn't write this last night...

Oh come on!!!!! That is the definition of a tease!!!!
This is about Supergirl Season 2 Episode 12 - Luthors...if you haven't watched it...STOP NOW! This is the only warning you get...
**SPOILERS**
Okay so as always GREAT but come on!!! I have been pining for Kara and Mon-El to hook up because reasons. Last episode he professes his "love" to her and she turns him down...NOOOOOO! Then this episode she is still regretting her decision. Dammit you two just kiss or something.
Moving on this is a whirlwind story of Lina Luthor being framed. Kara is the only one that believes she is innocent!!! Her mother is a ROYAL butt hole and using her to get into the Luthor vault. Wait hold up, she is ACTUALLY a Luthor. I did not see that coming.
Mr. kryptonite heart is about to go nuclear and Kara & Lina are in its path. Its the last second...if he blows Kara basically dies. J'onn swoops in to help but will it be too late. The crazy guy blows...OMG did they just kill or severely maim our favorite characters?!?!?
Yay, everyone is okay...just this once...everyone LIVES! *ahhhhhahaha*.
Then Kara confronts Mon-El. She gives this speech about how she always chooses saving the world or being Supergirl over her own happiness. But she realizes, she might be able to have both *squeeeee*.
She takes off her glasses *yes yes*
She steps up to him and says "hi" *gahhhhhhh*.
They are leaning in *fans face*
and then they are f**king interrupted by a ball of light. *noooooooooooo*.
I just want them to kiss!!!!!!!!!

Well they say you should always go out with a bang.....
**UPDATE** How do I keep forgetting to post these?!!??!
So I watched the season finale of Bones. Now we all know next season...Season 12 will be its last. Since we know this the writers have the freedom to really blow our minds, YAY! Anyways, just to note I'm not online all the time but I usually know what is going on with my fav shows. I usually know if they've been canceled (WTF NBC/ABC) or if a long time fan fav is making a return (I know it was a few years ago but the 50th for DW is a decent example). But I also love when they keep things SUPER quiet. People say the GoT peeps kept the fate of Jon quiet but we all knew he wasn't dead for good so :P.
Moving on watching "The Nightmare in the Nightmare" slapped me silly! It was a very nostalgic episode. It was one of those episodes that made me remember WHY I've been watching this show since 2005. It was creepy. It was disturbing. It was confusing. It was AWESOME!
Anyways, I was feeling a bit bad for Bones...nightmares are nothing to play with. Her subconscious was trying to tell her something. Something was familiar about this Puppeteer. Something was hovering just out of her reach and her dreams were trying to tell her. But everyone blew it off. Its just dreams after all. So the entire episode I was freaking out because "OMG the writers are gonna kill another of my favs and I can't handle that!" (see Sweets...still not over it).
So we have this Puppeteer weirdo who is BEYOND disturbing. He keeps his victims WITH him almost in a mummified state to...what...have dinner with *shudder*. What made this killer so much better or worse depending on your perspective is that it wasn't thrown in our faces ALL season. They touched on it and then moved on. I love that! So Brennan's dreams are getting more and more bizarre. The one that got me was Wendell. He's not a bad guy. Why is she seeing him as a bad guy? What's with the hands? Why is that familiar?!?!?
Anyways, things are ramping up...they have to catch him! But who could it be!?!?! Who could be this meticulous? Who could be this precise? Who could be this DISTURBED? I think I know but SURELY I would have heard something about this...right?!?! And now he/she is targeting Brennan!!! Booth do SOMETHING. So we are getting close. They've figured it out. Booth and Aubry are closing in...but its all a ruse. This idiot was set up! The real Puppeteer set a trap. And he/she takes Bones. Bones recognizes them. Now way...it can't be. Who the f**k is it?!?!
Then me literally yelling "No...no...NO! OMG its Zack! Is it Zack?!?!? They are bringing back Zack! It has to be f**king Zack!" And then Boothe busts in the mental hospital and Zack.is.gone. Flip to Brennan waking up. "Hello Dr. Brennan we have a lot to discuss." Or something along those lines. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its Zack!!!! OMG OMG OMG!
Season 12 is gonna be AMAZING! I hope....

Can't they just have a happily ever after?!?!?!
I meant to post this a while ago....apparently I just saved it and didn't post it...doh!
Sooooooooooooooo 12 Monkeys tried to slowly kill me with frustration. I didn't realize until last night but the whole season was a slow burn of lethal frustration in an attempt to murder...ME! Not being dramatic...scouts honor...
Okay, right. So we have Cole who drove me INSANE in Season 1 with his "must complete the mission at all costs" attitude. But he changed. He changed because he realized somethings are more important that the mission. Somethings like, CASSIE! But she did the opposite. In Season 1 she was the heartfelt, caring person. She knew that its not always about the mission, its about the people. But she changed. She changed because she got stuck in the f**king future and slept with Deacon (what?!?!?!) and I dunno went a little berzerk.
So the entirety of Season 2 I am basically screaming at my TV "OMG stop being mean to each other! You care about each other! Remember who you are..." Sorry my inner Mufasa came out. Granted I wasn't so focused on the messed up Cole/Cassie thing that I missed the rest of this amazing show.
Season 2, like Season 1, was a roller coaster ride of emotion. I teared up so many times. The writing for this show is phenomenal. I felt so many things each week, happy/sad/angry/frustrated/etc. But the season finale last night, that was superb.
SPOILERS
So at the end of last weeks episode we have Cassie FINALLY realizing she is being crazy and going after Cole to 1957. Its like something clicked and she said "Holy $hit I'm being unreasonable. Lets compromise." So they are stuck in 1957 for ELEVEN months...surely they've made amends. Look I don't need romance but they are friends...shouldn't they act like it?!?!?! But noooooo. Why would they be mature adults? Instead they are being mean and lashing out and not listening to each other. Cole says things that make me cringe (eluding to her "dates" was a low blow), Cassie basically makes him feel inferior and dumb. STOP!
So they basically have to work together to stop time from unraveling. Meanwhile Cole stares at Cassie like a love sick puppy and Cassie is just cold...but I think she's being cautious...like I don't think she really hates him (well I know she doesn't...NOW!). It was just a mess. So they fail their mission, the Primary dies and Cassie is knocked unconscious...for SIX MONTHS! In that time he f**king abandons her because "its for the best". What??!?! Did you just got all "Doctor Who" on Cassie. Dammit Cole don't be like the Doctor!!!!!
Moving on. She finds him...they fight and then they make up! YAAASSS! Thank you!!! Then they REALLY make up. Oh wait, we are going there...okay. Then she gets pregnant and Oh my gosh, he's so adorable about being a father! But of f**king course something is still wrong which threatens their happiness. Meanwhile in 2043 or whatever Ramsey and company are failing miserably at stopping the Witness. A.K.A. they all f**king die! What is happening!??!!? Cole can fix it by "drinking the koolaid". No really...he can drink the red tea crap and make it right. So Cole has a decision to make 1) stay in happily ever after land with Cassie and the baby but time still unravels or 2) Go back one more time and actually stop the last Primary from dying which will erase the time line where they fall in love. *'scuse me while I punch something*.
So he of course chooses to save the world because he is Cole. Time resets and Cassie is still weird with him. They go to the future and help Ramsey and Co. NOT die but still somehow fail. W....T...F....?!?!!? Turns out this Witness is a f**king Jedi or something and the city isn't just a city....the whole freaking thing time travels. Are....you.....serious?!?!!? Before they all splinter Cassie by some miracle REMEMBERS the aborted timeline. Yay!!!!!!! Then she gets stuck splintering with the City...WITHOUT Cole. G*D F**KING DAMMIT!
Cole is like "I gots to find my boo" and Doc lady is like "okay, I got you fam". Flash to WAY in the future. Cassie is in some weirdo temple and that freaking old dude that looks like a slender man is there. Ah HA! He IS the Witness. Hahahahaha jk Mother F**ker. He isn't. The witness is Cassie's unborn child. Fade to black.
What....WHAT....WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!??! What the hell kind of a...I hate you 12 Monkeys!!! How is she still pregnant!?!?!? Or is it somehow Deacon's?!?!? Dude I may actually punch something if that is true...okay lets pretend I didn't say that. How is their love child the Witness?!?!?! Why is their child trying to destroy time?!?!?! I have so many questions. Thank GOD we are getting a Season 3. I would have been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO angry.

Well damn, Lucifer is HOT!
A sentence I'd never thought I'd say. Who else watched the Premier of Lucifer on Fox Monday night??? I watched it for two reasons. One, it came on right after The X-Files and two, its a story about Lucifer getting tired of the BS in Hell and coming to the surface to have some fun. Wait there is a third reason....Tom Ellis is definitely not bad to look at. The below will be spoiler-y, you've been warned.
With that said, I absolutely loved this show. Usually it takes me a few episodes to really fall for a new series but not this time. I was a smiling, giggling school girl by the end. They honestly couldn't have picked a better person to portray Lucifer Morningstar (I laughed every time he said his full name...God given, I'm afraid). He is witty and devilish with a touch of humanity. The devil has feelings...that is a whole new way to look at things.
We begin with him being a prick to a police officer and its wonderful. He can basically make people say what they are thinking...he is manipulative and its a little concerning. But he has friends. Like they seem like legit friends who *gasp* care about him and he *double gasp* cares for them... We see in the first few minutes how much he cares for others (I am so going to hell even typing this). He helps a struggling actress. She thinks she sold her soul but he assures her he just helped her by putting her in contact with the correct people (what in the what what). Then she is BRUTALLY murdered while with him. He recovers, ala Jack Harkness style *gasp* *suddenly alive*, and immediately wants to punish whomever killed his friend.
This puts him in the sights of a detective lady who is immune to his charms. He has zero affect on her. She has no desire to tell him anything and thinks him more of an annoyance, oooo I like her! She has a kid (interesting) with another detective who is kind of a prick. He tries to put his ex down in front of Luci and he defends his new lady friend. It is adorable (OMG I am having feelings for a TV "bad guy"...I have issues).
So together they figure out who hired the hit-man that killed the actress. The actual bad guy who isn't Lucifer pulls a gun on Luci. The lady detective is panicking. He isn't. He isn't scared of being shot. he'll just come back to life. She shoots the suspect to save Lucifer and he is floored. That man didn't suffer enough, he just DIED. He is mad (ooooo scary devil) and says he.is.immortal! Before it can go further the baddie isn't dead and SHOOTS our new lady friend "Ahhhhhhhhhh!". Um excuse you, I like her! Luci goes all vengeful devil...dude the reflection... okay THAT is horrifying! She lives yay! He saves her....wha...he cares....whoa.
That was basically the episode. Obviously much more happened but that was the sum of it. I love love loveed it! I cannot WAIT to see more. It looks like he becomes a consultant for the police department and our lady friend does not seem happy...*muahaha*.
My favorite things:
Trixie liking Lucifer, even after hearing his name
Lucifer telling Trixie "That's a hooker name."
Lucifer scaring the bully that got Trixie in trouble
Trixie seeing Lucifer at the hospital and giving him a HUGE hug and him getting all "no no no little one, I hate kids" all while uncomfortably smirking.
That stupid angel doesn't scare him one bit (seriously something is wrong with me)
He is a seducer and keeps his word (that shrink is going to have a good time)
But he is still a bit terrifying

14 years later and I still love these two!!!
I've seen a lot of negative things about the Premier of the X-Files revival and I don't get it. Yea it was a little off. Mulder was a bit of a nutter...more so than normal but it was still good. And as much as I love foosball I was feeling a bit stabby. Gimme X-Files dammit!!!! Yea yea yea good for you Panthers now get off my TV!
From this point forward it will be spoiled a bit for Episodes 1 & 2 so just a heads up.
My little geek heart exploded Sunday night! One of my favorite sci-fi shows of ALL TIME (notice I say "one of", because I have a few favs) came back for a 6 episode tease. I call it a tease because 6 episodes is not enough for me. This is the FIRST TV non-couple that I was like "OMG be together already" (ya know...I shipped them). I was 12 when it first came on TV and 21 when they took it off the air. I watched it for 9 seasons. I saw the movies. I love love love Mulder and Scully. With that said when I heard they were bringing it back I fangirled so hard my husband laughed for like 20 minutes. It was pretty epic. I imagine it would have been similar for fans of Classic Who when the show rebooted in 2005.
Anyways, I like the 1st episode. Of course it wasn't classic X-Files people. Think about it!!! They dismantled the department. It didn't exist anymore. So they had to come up with some cracked out way to bring Mulder and Scully back together. It couldn't be straight up alien BS again. They've done that and shown us the flipping aliens. It had to go in a different direction. Plus it was Episode 1 FFS!!! It was an intro. They had to get us all up to speed on what the f**k they've all been up to for FOURTEEN years (yes I know there was a movie in 2008 but its been 14 years since TV). So we had to see Mulder out of his Mulder-ness and Scully being her awesome scientific self but without Mulder. We had to see that they've gone their separate ways but they still CLEARLY love each other and you cannot convince me otherwise!
I seriously love that they are taking the alien BS to a new (way more disturbing) level. We aren't being watched by aliens...well we are but its more than that. All of these crazy things. All of the INSANE experiments and abductions and weirdo $hit. Its all because back when the Roswell thing happened our government took the technology and reverse engineered it. We also took the BODY OF THE ALIEN and used its DNA. Meaning aliens aren't abducting us for experiments...its our government. At least a branch of it. (like I needed more reasons to be paranoid) They take women who are pregnant and put alien DNA in them to see what happens. They impregnate others with human/alien embryos. They take men for...well you can guess based on the last sentence.
Aliens might be curious about us but its the powers that be that are doing all the crazy $hit! And when people try to out these higher powers they are "dealt with". I mean I wasn't fond of the YouTubber (stop hitting on Scully!) but I can only imagine what happened to him. As in they die of mysterious causes, have freak accidents, or just disappear. At the end we have our team mending the wounds a bit...speaking of their BABY that went up for adoption (ouch my heart)...and giving us the flipping smoking man. How the f**k is he still alive?!?!?!
Episode 2 was more my classic babies. Mulder is his clean shaven, suit wearing self. And god damn he is still a very attractive man. Scully hasn't aged. No really what does Mrs. Anderson do because she looks the SAME! This episode broke me more because of the "What If" flash backs. What if they kept their son. What activities would they have done together. Just rip my heart out why don't you!!! It also showed how much these two CLEARLY care for one another still. They may not be together but the affection is still there. When Mulder is in danger she is worried. When Mulder drops on the ground in pain she is there in a second to save him. When he says "You’re never just anything to me, Scully", I sniffled. Damn where'd all this dust come from *cough cough*.
What I am saying is I like it. I think it is good. I think people are being WAAAAAY too hard on it. Just enjoy it while you can....its only SIX episodes people!!! Oh did I mention Scully has Alien DNA...what the actual f**k?!?!?!
From this point forward it will be spoiled a bit for Episodes 1 & 2 so just a heads up.

At the end we have our team mending the wounds a bit...speaking of their BABY that went up for adoption (ouch my heart)...and giving us the flipping smoking man. How the f**k is he still alive?!?!?!
Episode 2 was more my classic babies. Mulder is his clean shaven, suit wearing self. And god damn he is still a very attractive man. Scully hasn't aged. No really what does Mrs. Anderson do because she looks the SAME! This episode broke me more because of the "What If" flash backs. What if they kept their son. What activities would they have done together. Just rip my heart out why don't you!!! It also showed how much these two CLEARLY care for one another still. They may not be together but the affection is still there. When Mulder is in danger she is worried. When Mulder drops on the ground in pain she is there in a second to save him. When he says "You’re never just anything to me, Scully", I sniffled. Damn where'd all this dust come from *cough cough*.
What I am saying is I like it. I think it is good. I think people are being WAAAAAY too hard on it. Just enjoy it while you can....its only SIX episodes people!!! Oh did I mention Scully has Alien DNA...what the actual f**k?!?!?!

“It was beautiful. And it was sad.” Oh, and I am Hell Bent on rewatching that...mainly because my DVR cut off (jerk).
"What is happening?!??!" My mantra for the entire Season Finale (season/series 9) of Doctor Who. I'm saying it now...
If you read on it will be SPOILED.
Maybe I missed something in the weeks leading up to the finale but when the opening credits rolled and I saw "Jenna Coleman" I was like wait... but blew it off as she would be his conscience once again while he dealt with the jerk-ish Time Lords.
I was so wrong but that isn't the point...who am I kidding yes it is. The opening scene is him talking to Clara in a f**king diner...THE diner he was in with Amy & Rory in Nevada (is this significant or just the network reusing sets???). And he is telling her a story about CLARA. Me: OMG what happened to Clara...how is she alive...why doesn't she know the doctor?!!?!? Then he plays a song on his guitar. Clara: What's it called? Him: I think its called Clara. *ouch my heart* Then we are back on Gallifrey. I won't lie...I geeked out the entire time Gallifrey was shown. I mean we got his home planet and their stupid fancy dress...it was AWESOME!
I loved that The Doctor had so much confidence and control while on his home planet. By all evidence he should have been scared but he wasn't because he knew. He knew he did right. And he knew his people were a bunch of dicks. He drew a line in the sand (literally). He stood up to a firing squad. He stood up to Rassilon! He was so freaking amazing. So question...was that woman his mum or just a care taker while he was at the academy? Anyways, I laughed my butt off when he was told to drop any weapons and he dropped the flipping spoon *snort*.
So as usual the Time Lords act like a bunch of pompous @$$hats. He gets rid of Rassilon and becomes President......I thought...I thought he didn't like being President. Question: How the f**k did the Sisters of Karn find Gallifrey?!!?!!? Anyway, so he uses his "knowledge" of the Hybrid as leverage for the Time Lords to bring back Clara. So we get her back between her last heart beats. He saved her! This PISSED ME OFF. Not because I want her to die (I adore her...she is one of my favorite companions) but because why can't anyone in Who stay dead! It cheapens the deaths when they happen because we all know Moffat doesn't like killing them and they can always come back. There is no finality. Moving on, so she's like in limbo...no heartbeat, no me gusta.
The Doctor goes all rogue time lord again and runs away, all to save Clara. This is a VERY unhealthy relationship!!! When she finds out how long he was in that disk...I broke a little. I was the same way...why??? He said: "I had a duty of care", what?!?!?!? That's about as close as we are going to get to an "I love you". Not necessarily romantic. But he does care immensely for his impossible girl. (I'm not crying, you're crying) He legit steals ANOTHER T.A.R.D.I.S. and runs away. I freaked out all over again seeing the old school console room. Be still my little geeky heart! I just hate that The Doctor is running...AGAIN. That he is risking the destruction of TIME to have Clara back. Even 10 didn't destroy the universe to get Rose back...COME ON! Maybe their "love" is stronger.............
Me is there at the end. No literally at the end of the universe, it's Me and The Doctor and Clara of course. And WTH was with the "its always four knocks". That is not funny Mr. Moffat. That was a HEARTBREAKING moment for the 10th Doctor (and for us!). Anyways, The Doc (away from Clara) says the Hybrid is Me (Told you So), she says its him (no we are NOT going there. He is not 1/2 human or whatever. Just STOP). Then she says it could be two people (what!?!?!!?!?). So the Hybrid is the Doctor AND Clara...together. OMG...OMG! So to protect time, Gallifrey and Clara...he is going to wipe her memories. Son of a! No...we are not pulling a Donna Noble on Clara!!!! Just.No!
Clara heard it all and doesn't want to forget. She is fine with dying but don't take away her memories of The Doctor. As a fail safe she reverses the polarity to backfire if he tries to use the device on her. But he doesn't believe her. They do the whole speaking with their eyes thing with a little talking and decide its a 50/50 chance it'll work on her. Suddenly the Doctor collapses. What is happening?!?!?! No...OMG no...OMG! Why do you hurt me like this!!?!?! The whole episode I thought it was Clara who forgot. OMG! I did NOT see that coming! So HE forgot HER...well mostly. He remembers some things. He knows she's important to him and he wants to find her. F**k now I am legit crying. But he can't find his T.A.R.D.I.S. *awwwww*
But why in the diner? What is Clara doing? Where is Me??? So Clara walks away into the back...into the 2nd stolen T.A.R.D.I.S. where Me is waiting by the console and the diner disappears from around the Doctor. He was in the freaking 2nd T.A.R.D.I.S. the whole time in the diner. OMG (have I voiced my shock yet?)! And then we see it. In the aftermath of the other T.A.R.D.I.S. dematerializing we see our T.A.R.D.I.S. Our amazing box that is the perfect shade of blue...and also happens to have a picture of Clara on it that the doctor seems to miss *ouch my heart*.
This is where the DVR cut off. But I know most of what happens (thank you Internet) and OMG I am sobbing now. "Run you clever boy...and be a Doctor" cue a new sonic SCREWDRIVER appearing. He is The Doctor again!!! Ahhhhhhhh! I didn't realize it but the whole season he was hiding! He was hiding behind his sonic shades!!! He wasn't The Doctor...not without his screwdriver *laughing through tears*.
And Clara ran away with Ashildr. They are going to go on so many adventures. Ashildr is immortal, Clara is essentially immortal now...she doesn't have to Face the Raven just yet. She became The Doctor!!!!! She stole a flipping T.A.R.D.I.S. and is running away to have adventures.
Eeeeeeeee, I can't wait for the Christmas special!!!!!
