Charmed (Series Review)

Image
 ***This review will contain spoilers*** I used to watch Charmed all the time in my childhood and it's one of the few good memories I have of my mother. We used to watch Charmed all the time and hurry to watch all the new episodes every Friday on the WB. Now as an adult, I have purchased the entire eight season collection and even bought myself a replica of the Book of Shadows featured on the show.  My boyfriend and I love to watch tv shows together so my pick this time around was watching Charmed. It has been well over a decade since the last time I even watched an episode so I was interested in seeing how adult Amanda would feel about Charmed... As a child, I absolutely loved Prue. Myself being the eldest, I definitely connected and related to the character of Prue. I loved the first three seasons and as a child was crushed when the final episode of season three premiered and we were left on a cliffhanger. Starting the first episode of season four, I recall asking where Prue...

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 7 Burning House Of Love (Review)

(((There will be spoilers))) The opening scene which comes as no surprise to all of us is sex! Is it bad that I want to fast-forward the scene between Bill and Sookie having sex? I cannot emphasize to all of you how repulsed I am of him. There is just something about Bill whether it's his demeanor or the way he looks but he puts me on edge and makes me extremely uncomfortable. So Sookie had sex for the first time ever with Bill and she couldn't be bothered to find out the specifics of his species. Well heck, no one ever said that having sex for the first time required any logical thought. Don't get me wrong, she is a smart cookie when it comes to any human but with Bill she is a complete idiot who doesn't give much thought to her life or even thinks about her future. And on top of that, Bill telling her not to eat garlic because it irritates him? Well damn, now I can never date a vampire. My fat ass loves food too much. If anyone ever asked me to give up a typ...

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 5 Sparks Fly Out (Episode Review)

((((There are spoilers)))) Getting right into the episode the rift between Sookie and Bill is quite understandable. Just knowing him and being associated with him has brought on a lot of change and danger. To Sookie all this change is disruptive to the little and simple life she has created for herself. At the same time such change might be what Sookie needs to finally thrive and live. But with him? Hell no! Jason is dumber than a bag of rocks. Doing V yet again? That is just asking for trouble to happen. And that trouble is him hallucinating. It's incredible how smooth he can be while high but isn't he forgetting Dawn fairly quickly? Bill sneakily listening in on everyone, how not shocking! Bill is quite something when he's got his Southern charm on full blast. However, when you see the truth of what is Bill Compton there is not much that he can do to deter our eyes from what he really is; manipulative, cold and a vampire. I do find it interesting that he can...
