AAAAH my exams start in 6 days and I am seriously stressing out. My French speaking exam is first and my studying just isn't going well, I don't them as well as I should. Think I'm going to have to find a new technique. I hate exams, they should all be banned.

So anyway I have all this revision to do and the Chemistry Beast decided to give us a class test. She is seriously awful. I mean WTF? Who adds to the revision pile? The test was really difficult (although I didn't even look at my notes so that's to be expected) and I predict ugly death on Monday. And she asked me this really hard question the other day and it took me ages to figure out and she goes "Yes OBVIOUSLY" at the end. She's just vile, only one more week of her to go YAAAAH.

But in positive news, I have been watching 3 great shows this week and one crap one!

Dollhouse was excellent this week for me. I know some were a bit disappointed it went back to standalone and I was a bit as well but Haunted was the best standalone episode by a mile for me.

The 'case of the week' was actually interesting. I love the idea of someone solving their own murder and seeing what people really thought of them. I have to hand it to Eliza- she was just fantastic this week, definitely her best performance. She really got into the role and she played the lady perfectly. She has a few rough moments but I'm still confident that if the show gets another season (but it probably won't ) she will become consistently great. And she looked STUNNING all episode. Like I was amazed by her hotness.

Topher scenes were awesome, I love that we're finding out more and more about the characters. He's clearly so lonely and there was just something really sad about his scenes tonight. He's like a more human version of Andrew from BtVS or something.

The Paul/Mellie scenes were very good. He's clearly feeling disgusted with himself for what he's doing but can't stop doing it cause he needs to expose the Dollhouse. And I found it so eerie how when they searched Mellie's prints, all these names came up and then just disappeared.

Adelle is still my favourite character. We seen more sides to her again this week and I believed the friendship between her and .. the character Eliza was playing. I've just blanked on her name haha. And Boyd scenes were good as well, it's so obvious how attached he is to Echo. I see potential for a Buffy/Giles type relationship there.

So 8/10 from me, cannot WAIT for next week, looks like it's gonna be AWESOME.

Dexter returned tonight . And it (as always) a fantastic episode!

Dexter killing that guy was shocking, never seen it coming. He's usually so cool and calm but he just lost it tonight and I predict another season of dodging and lying ahead. Sounds great .

But it's the characters that still interest me most. Dexter/Rita relationship is getting stronger and OMG hot Julie Benz sex scenes a-plenty! She is really the perfect woman, I wish I could meet her *sigh* And Rita's pregnant!!! I already knew but still I am very happy. Dexter offspring will be so weird and awesome. And how good were the Cody/Dexter scenes, like a real family.

Debs was great here, I like that she's getting so confident again and it's obvious she'll get with that bald guy. Anything has to be better than the awful Deb/Lundy thing last season, never once bought it.

That new guy Prado is interesting. I don't get him at all but I think that's the point, he's just randomly popped up. I've heard some rumours about him but I dunno what's going to happen really.

Of course LaGuerta was back, being ANNOYING again. I have never liked her and she just earned my hate again. Why take Debs off the case? She made a huge breakthrough but no, that btch is off ruining things. Let's hope she dies soon.

Fantastic episode (thank God Lila has gone, I did not miss her. Not even a little bit), 9/10 from me!

Veronica Mars is still awesome. It's already in top 5 all time shows, I can see it making top 3. I am up to episode 14 of Season 2 now.

The bus crash mystery is good but I'm just not feeling it like I did with the Lilly Kane murder case. I think it's cause of the bus crash kids, I only knew Meg and seeing as she's dead now, I ain't that emotionally involved. I'm looking forward to the reveal of who caused it though. I suspect Sheriff Lamb but don't tell me!

Veronica is still awesome, I honestly think she may be my 3rd favourite TV character ever. I just love her. Wallace is awesome, and I've really warmed to Jackie (hated her at the start), she's becoming really likeable. And Logan is my 2nd favourite, I think he's hilarious. And plus, he is the reason Kendall gets scenes and Charisma Carpenter is back on screen! And LOL how amazing was the scene between Charisma and Alyson Hannigan? Like having Buffy back a little bit. And Mac is so awesome, get her more episodes! And her and Beaver make a great couple, Dick is sucha jerk for saying those things at the funfair but he got his comeuppance haha.

And I LOVED the Meg's baby storyline. It was just so intense and plus it got rid of Duncan! . I just never liked him or the Veronica/Duncan relationship. Poor Meg though .

So season 2 is really amazing so far, can't wait to watch the rest.

So after all this positivity, I now have to inject some negativity to balance things..

Last episode of Heroes I watched was Into Asylum and it was just positively DIRE. And I mean really, really bad. Unbelievably boring and pointless, it seemed to go on forever. It was so bad I forgot about the episode the week after. And that leads me to..

I'm quitting Heroes. I hate most of the characters and it's such a chore to watch now. If you told me that all the characters were going to explode and die, I wouldn't care. And I just can't watch it anymore. So that's, I'm out. I've been giving it too many chances.

Soo that's it everyone, I'll try and blog next week to tell you all how my French went, have a great week .

I envy your Veronica experience. I agree that the arch of season 1 was the best but some character stuff is wonderful later on. I am curious what you think of the solution. I like Logan, too. Duncan used to annoy me big time but he had a leave that rehabilitated him a little. I was still happy to see him go. I like Vinnie (the Private Eye), as well. I haven't seen Dollhouse but great that you liked it! And I gave up on Heroes a while ago. I heard that it's better again, so it sucks to read you disagreeing. I don't care for any of the characters either. Sylar perhaps the most but still not much. I always wonder how much change they can keep on pressing out of him... I enjoyed him with Elle, that's the last good stuff I remember.

Dexter - yay Rita and Dexter rule. The second season is my favorite without a doubt but season 3 is well worth watching well. Glad you like it!!
That chemistry teacher of yours sounds positively like a bitca! No surprise here. Good luck for your exams!! Soon, it'll be over right? Hang in there and I keep my fingers crossed for French.

Good luck on your exams! I agree that Haunted was the best standalone of Dollhouse, but the standalones aren't very good, for me that is the problem with Dollhouse. The bus crash storyline didn't interest me much at first either, but it gets a lot better. Also season 2 has a lot of actors we recognize so yay! Also there's a guy called Liam, he's Irish and wears a claddagh ring (the ring Angel gave to Buffy in Surprise). Lol that little thing made me love the show so much more

Wow it took you that long to give up Heroes? I bailed on it back at the beginning of season 3 I couldn't take it anymore . I thought this weeks Dollhouse was awful but then I think the whole show is dire, it's shame it could have been good but is just somehow so crap. Glad you enjoying Dexter! it just gets better and better from there. Exams are a b1tch! hope yours goe well!

You make me want to watch Veronica Mars all over again! I think the Season 2 arc just keeps getting better, although Season 1 was probably still my favourite

Glad you're still enjoying Dexter - to be honest Dexter is probably the only show that I have loved every episode, every season of (despite hating Lila... she still made things interesting!). Although I hate LaGuerta too - very very annoying, but still - all the characters can't be perfect!!

I'm still not loving Dollhouse but I enjoyed it this week, I liked the whole variation on eternal life, it was a good twist to the normal stories... although I kind of guessed the end

Sucks you're giving up on Heroes, I'm going to try and stick it out to the end of this season just because I hate unfinished stories! But I agree, Heroes has been getting harder to watch Goodluck with all your exams, and I hope karma finally catches up to your evil chemistry teacher soon

FFO- Haha thanks .

Mafalada- Haha, I know the feeling, I get so jealous when people tell me that they're watching Buffy/Angel for the first time, I wish I could do it. And yeah he was better in his last few episodes but I was glad to see him go. Donut Run (his last episode) was brilliant though. Heroes has gotten better since Volume 3 but it still sucks. Then again, it isn't hard to be better than Volume 3 cause it was seriously appalling. You've only missed 1 good episode really, the rest were terrible. And it will be almost impossible for Dexter to have a better season than S2 I think, S2 was just incredible, not one bad episode and several outstanding ones. And yes she is terrible . Got 30% in the latest test HAHA I have to repeat it though *sighs* Thanks

12678- Yeah I like the standalones and really liked this episode but I'll agree, Dollhouse is far better when it's focusing on the character rather than Echo's mission of the week. And I know, Season 2 has Charisma, Alyson and Joss was even in an episode, I was shocked! And haha that's so awesome! I love little references to Buffy/Angel.
Posted Apr 27, 2009 10:20 am PT
WB- I have no idea why I kept watching! In vain hope it got better and now I regret wasting my time with it, it's obvious the writers only planned S1 and made up the rest as they went along. Shame you don't like Dollhouse but ah well not every show can please everyone and it isn't a perfect show by any stretch, granted. And yeah Dexter generally gets better all season, I'm hoping the third is the same. And thanks

Badgers- Haha, yeah the show is really addictive. And the S1 arc would have been impossible to beat, it was so good. And yeah Dexter hasn't had a bad episode yet! I think it's because it's only 12 episodes a season and they pack all the quality in instead of spreading it out over 22 episodes. And yeah Lila was a great characters, I just hated her, if you get me. Yeah I loved the concept of eternal life as well. Haha, if all her karma caught up with her, she'd end up like dead haha.

You should never be amazed by Eliza's hotness. It supercedes everyone elses by miles.

Hi! Hope it's not too late to comment. So I'm guessing you're done/started your exams by now? If not, good luck! Haunted was a great episode of Dollhouse, and so was last night's. I think Topher is my favorite character. I haven't been able to get the VM DVDs yet, but I will eventually. I really want to see it, cuz I hear it's really good! Aw sorry you don't like Heroes anymore. I still love it and I liked the Into Asylum episode. Happy weekend!

Had to comment! Even though you made this blog a while ago!

Fantastic how much you're loving Veroncia Mars, it reminds me of how I felt when I discovered it a year ago! So awesome, Veronica is the best character! And Mac, also very funny! I think season 1's Lily Kane story arc was the best but the bus crash mystery gets better! Although I see what you mean about caring less for the victims....

I stopped watching Dollhouse about episode 5/6 - I got a little bored, I wasn't really feeling it. Although, you're one of quite a few people that suggest its been very hit and miss since so....I'll get back to it at some point!

p.s. Your banner = AWESOME! (Especially love the Veronica pic!)
