Grey's Anatomy | 8x19 | Support System | Review

Grey's Anatomy is one show that certainly can deliver beautiful intros, this time it showed us in a recap manner how Christina's and Owen's relationship grew and hit rocks all at the same time, it showed us how Owen's saved her life when she tripped and fell and got an icicle insider of her up until the scene where she throws the cereal bowl in his face.

In this episode Christina continued to be a mystery to me, why on earth would she want to hear the recap of Owen's one night stand ?

It reminds me of Ross and Rachel from FRIENDS, about Ross trying to explain himself and wanting to be forgiven but instead she asked him "How was it ? Was she good?" What followed meant the end for them. And I sense that Christina is looking for something that is so unforgivable so she can end all that in a blink of an eye without feeling guilty.

Shonda promised us the old Christina, the cold blooded Christina and that's not a good sign for Christina and Owen as a couple.

Aside from that, Sloan as chief ? Are you kidding ? The worst possible candidate for a chief of surgery.

Alex and April blackmailing Lexie to help the two to study for boards was precious.

Touch | 1x04 | Kite Strings | Review

Another week, another lesson on how we all are connected between each other. This time Jake tells us that human beings are hard-wired with the impulses to share our ideas and the desire to know we've been heard, it's all part of our need for community. That's why we're constantly sending out signals and signs and why look for them from other people. We're always waiting for messages. Hoping for connection. And if we haven't received a message, it doesn't always mean it hasn't been sent to us. Sometimes it means we haven't been listening hard enough.

This time we see sadness in Martin's eyes we he learns that there is no possibility of finding any remains of his late wife, who tragically died in the events of September 11, the most sad and tragic event in the history of the United States (in my opinion). Finding any remains of his wife was important for him, to find closure and finally mourn her the way he needed.

Scandal | 1x01 | Pilot | Review

Scandal - the new series from legendary and world renown TV Series creator, the one and only Shonda Rhimes.

And so Shonda Rhimes strikes again with a new hit TV series, this time set in Washington DC, the place where the scandal feels at home and ready to jump on you at every corner.

The series introduces us to a life-based character Olivia Pope who is a goddess when it comes to making a scandal vanish into the fin air, she is the one you wanna keep on your speed dial just in case your life starts to spiral out of control.

I fell in love instantly with Kerry Washington's character, Olivia Pope is perfect at managing crises only because of her imperfections. Through the entire episode she proves that only screwed up people like them can make a change for the better, only they can protect us, our lives and our reputation.

The episode opens up with Harrison Wright offering a job to Quinn Perkins, personally asked by Olivia and in Quinn's first day she witnesses Olivia's involvement in case where the image of the first and most powerful man on earth, the President of the United States is at stakes.

Grey's Anatomy | 8x18 | The Lion Sleeps Tonight | Review

After taking a long break Grey's Anatomy is back and better than ever. The last episode ended in the old fashioned way of letting us process some things but also left us wanting more.

Christina has just learned that Owen cheated on her and apparently all that paranoia was not just an act of her imagination (and mine as well). Since last episode we were processing and refusing to believe that Owen would do something like this.

It's been a long time since we had some compelling cases in the ER and this time we have a lion, an actually lion to blame or to thank for. We had an idiot on the OR table who was left to think that he was a hero that saved the life of the lion owner, whom he tried to date. And idiotic is having a full-grown lion at your home ? How socially deprived do you need to be to raise a lion instead of a cat ?

And there was Teddy. It seemed that her grieving was far from being over, she tried a grief group but I guess it was too much for her, I didn't realize she was in so much denial, didn't know that she refused to comprehend Henry's death. And when we thought that grieving group was too much for her, now she must take care of an old man who had a heart-attack from literally bumping into the lion earlier that day. I guess the lion made more victims than we thought.

Touch | 1x03 | Safety in Numbers | Review

Watching the intro for the series it's like watching Discovery Channel, only much better, much brighter, more meaningful. As we learned the last time our lives are more connected more than we think, numbers, patterns and ratios are the ones that in a manner rule our lives.

We are all connected, the numbers describe a path we were chosen to follow, in which we meet different people with different outcomes, some of them might hurt us, some of them might give us comfort, only the numbers can tell us who and what part are they going to play in our lives, but reading, listening to the numbers is not for everyone, unfortunately, but little guys such as Jake may have what it takes to teach us all that life is not only complicated but fascinating too, and he'll help us read the numbers.

3287.

These are the numbers whose significance Martin must figure out. While Jake's fate and life meaning seams pretty clear, his father asks himself, is chasing numbers all he can do for his son ?

Missing | 1x03 | Ice Queen | Review

Another week, another episode of our ABC series Missing, another episode to add a few Xs into the equation, like the ones we had weren't enough. Last episode ended with Becca not being able to stop the plane that had her son aboard. The installment of this week opens with Michael waking up in a castle he apparently can't escape from.

With the help of CIA they searched the plane after it landed in Italy but surprise, there wasn't no trace of Michael who meanwhile was kept in a castle who may not be the only one being kept far from civilization. We meet Oksana, at first a scared young woman with what we can only assume a drug problem.

Becca's friend, Mary makes a stop to Rome to surprise her best friend and basically the sister she never had, only to leave Becca in a stage of shock like she hadn't enough already on her plate. She must manage to look for the people that most certainly know where her son is and also deal with Mary who is still in the dark with Becca's past. Only nothing went as planned. To get rid off Mary she lied to her that she and Giancarlo have a romantic affair and want to enjoy their time together without the presence of a third wheel. Mary visibly upset leaves them alone.

Desperate Housewives | 8x18 | Any Moment | Review

Writing the last reviews for Desperate Housewives and putting a final year in parenthesis it's like calling the time of death on the series that has been there for me for the last eight years and I can't even begin to recall all the things I've learned from it, for all the fans around the world it's truly the end of an era. 

How to say goodbye to a series that taught us valuable lessons about friendship, love and family values ? It's not something you're going to come around and realize that the time for a final kiss goodbye has come.

After the last week episode when we said our goodbyes to a dearly beloved character - Mike, we were only left to wonder about Susan and how is she gonna begin to live again, begin all over again, but this time without Mike.

Fairly Legal | 2x02 | Start Me Up | Review

With every review I am going to post on this blog you'll come to discover how many TV shows I am currently watching and it will probably shock you but I can explain, TV shows are the air I breath, without them I suffocate. 

Today we have Fairly Legal, only one year old TV series from USA Network, launched successfully last year averaging 4.58 million viewers for its first ten episodes run, which for a cable network it's pretty damn good.

Fairly Legal tells a story about Kate Reed (Sarah Shahi), a lawyer gone mediator after suddenly coming to the conclusion that in court there is always a winner and a loser, in mediation, on the other hand, only winners. As the series opens we see Kate working at the firm that her father started and who recently died, having to deal with the loss and her mother-in-law who's not a likable character, not at first at least. The series was received well, by viewers and by the critics. Entertainment Weekly lauded Shahi's performance saying she "makes you believe that the woman is simultaneously an anxious wreck and a brilliant mediator", and applauds some of the "interesting chances" the creators took. Robert Bianco from USA Today called Shahi's character, Kate, "instantly likable", and described the series as "a well-constructed piece of popular entertainment from a dependable provider of the same, with an easy-to-like star and an easy-to-grasp premise".

Touch | 1x02 | 1+1=3 | Review

There is more about the numbers than we may think, our lives can be easily translated into numbers, patterns and ratios, hidden in plain sight that only some us can actually see.

A little boy made his job to see these patterns and ratios that somehow are connected to us, people, numbers that tell us a story of each one of us, equations that need to be solved  and only he can do that. He's been alive for 11 years, 4 months, 25 days and thirteen hours and in all that time he never said a word but luckily he now has someone who hears him. His father, Martin Bohm (Kiefer Sutherland) tries to protect him but there are so many things standing in his way, and boy's condition doesn't make it easier.

Missing | 1x02 | The Hard Drive | Review

Missing - a new series from ABC, premiered a week ago with strong ratings in the viewers and so-so in demographics. For the time being we're going to ignore the ratings and simply enjoy this episode.

A foreword before sinking our teeth in second episode. Becca Winstone (Ashley Judd) is a mother, former CIA agent who's son was kidnapped while studying in Italy, now she made her mission to find her son no matter what it takes.

So far Becca is against the entire world, if only she wouldn't have stashed little assets that would give her advantages in order to get her one step ahead of everyone. French intelligence is after her as her son is being hidden in France. 

For Becca was either get help from French head of Intelligence Lussier or get him down having a man named Hard Drive as an asset, named that way due to his amazing memorizing skills, unable to forget anything. At first I thought it was a simply hard drive stashed somewhere but I guess it was way much more giving this series something new, something special, so I guess Missing is getting a blue ribbon for that.
