Once Upon a Time: Hate-watching Update

I did it again. I watched Once Upon a Time.

It's just not getting any better.

That's all.

Downton Abbey: Another Season of the Crawleys

Downton Abbey has been renewed for a fourth season. I am so excited about this. There are few series on TV today that have the quality in writing and acting as Downton Abbey, and it's nice to see that quality appreciated and awarded.

Click here for more information and photos from season 3. Season 3 will air in the U.S. on Masterpiece Theater in January.

Drop Dead Diva: Season 4 Finale

The season finale of Drop Dead Diva gave us one cliff hanger we were expecting, and another that I did not see coming. The unexpected twist will make for a very interesting season five.

It was great to see Fred again. I’ve missed Fred. But then, how can you not miss someone who’s name is Fred? That name just evokes “missing” when he (or she) goes away.

The two cases in the season finale were interesting ones. One was case was about a woman who has a brain tumor, and because of the location of the tumor in the brain, the woman’s IQ has gone up significantly. However, it also means she has only a few months to live if it is not removed. Her husband, of course, wants her to have the tumor removed, but she is reticent because she likes being smart. Jane (Deb) can understand where the woman is coming from, because Deb was never known for her intelligence until she got Jane’s body and her high IQ.

The other case is a country singer who is on trial for causing one of her fans to act out the lyrics of one of her songs and cut the brakes on her ex-boyfriends car, which led to him being injured in a car accident. It's very topical, with so many singers bashing their exes in their songs, and so many songs about retribution. How responsble would a singer be if someone decided to do exactly what one of their songs say. Would a case like that hold up in court? Who knows.

The cases weren’t the big stories of the episode. Jane and Owen were getting married. Jane (Deb) was finally really moving on from Grayson. The big question was, how did Grayson feel about Jane? We find out, but it's not "as easy as..."

I'm excited for season 5. How long do I have to wait?

Drop Dead Diva is Back!

The Lifetime series Drop Dead Diva is back for its fourth season, and if the new season can be judged by its first episode, it's going to be great.
