I need to change the TV recaps up a bit. So I think I'll give you my favorite characters and a favorite moment from each of the shows on the recap this time. Oh, possible spoilers, so read at your own risk! :-)
Let's start with...
Empire (Fox)
I binge watched 7 episodes of this show over one weekend because the ratings kept going up and up and up and being the pop culture freak I am, I had to know what the fuss was all about. The fuss is Cookie. I loved Taraji on Persons of Interest and stopped watching the show when she "left". Her and Jamal are my favorites on this show so far, but the cast is amazing overall. I love the soap opera-ness of it but I like the fact that it's not too over the top like Revenge but more grounded and gritty.
The music? Fantastic!
My favorite moment was when Jamal went off on his father "...your played out homophobia" and just about every scene they had together with Jamal calling him out. I always love when the underdogs stand up for themselves and Jamal has no problem doing that.
Glee (Fox)
Yes, it was the end for Gleeks all over the world. While this last season wasn't the best, it was more a fan letter to us. I didn't like what they did with Sue, thought it was silly, but I did like what they did with Will and how they folded him back into the core group of Glee Kids. The first couple of seasons of Glee were amazing and it's something I wish all young kids will watch at some point in their life because the can learn a lot from a show like this.
My favorite moment was when Sue and Roz try to interrogate Becky's boyfriend and he...well, calls them out. I see a trend here. LOL
Scorpion (CBS)
I couldn't figure out why I liked this show until I realized it's like a cop mystery show without the cops and procedure. From the very first episode, I loved the chemistry between all the characters and how real they came across even with all their awkward anti-social issues. I like how the team figures things out together, and I love their chemistry with the youngest and most fun character, Ralph. He's such a cutie and great actor for his age. He and Happy are my favorite characters at the moment. :-)
My favorite moment was probably in last week's episode when Ralph went to save Walter and used his action figure to seal up the whole in the vent shaft. That was awesome. And Katherine McPhee's reaction when they pulled him out of the shaft was amazingly done. I thought she was really pissed at him! lol
The Walking Dead (AMC)
Thinking back, this was a very emotional season of TWD. I'm glad the group split up for a while and then came back together, it gave us some awesome scenes and set ups. Carol and Daryl are still my favorite characters. I think, out of all of the characters, they've had the most growth and change throughout the series with Glenn being a close third.
My favorite moment this season was a sad one, but powerful. When Daryl carried Beth out of the hospital, I actually felt bad that she died, even though I'd been wishing for her to die for most of the season. Bad Jenn!
The 100 (CW)
Many of you know how much of a CW Fangirl I am, well this show is so good I think it would have made it on any network to be honest. While the "teens" are the main focus of the show, the writers do a great job of bringing the adults and their drama into the fold. The twists and reveals are brilliant, and half the time I don't see them coming, which is a very good thing. I found myself rooting for Bellamy this season, he's become a great character, but my heart will always be with Lincoln. He and Octavia are so badass, I love it.
My favorite moment is hard, there were so many good ones. Jaha seeing the flying drone. Finding out the acid fog was man made, Reaper-Lincoln, the look on the Grounders faces when Abby saved Lincoln, Clarke and Lexa kissing! So many. I wish the books were as good. :-(
Helix (SyFy)
This is one of the wackiest and weirdest shows on TV right now. I started watching because I love Billy Campbell and he does not disappoint on this show. Most of the cast from last season came back with a few new additions including the ever wonderful Steven Weber. He plays such a great creepy dude, I can't even begin to describe it. Also, the way they use music on this show is amazing and creepier....
Which leads to my favorite moment when a bunch of kids beat the snot out of Dr. Summers while "Sunshine Day" from the Brady Bunch is playing for the audience. Perfectly creeptastic!
Hindsight (VH1)
VH1's first scripted series is a winner. I think. Becca, getting ready for her second wedding, starts having second thoughts about the path her life has taken. Somehow, she's transported back to the 90s days before her FIRST wedding. Now, it's up to her to do the same thing or change it, so she changes it. But by changing the past, we all know what happens...the butterfly effect! And it hits just about everyone around her. Lolly is a great character and she cracks me up, she's my first and second favorite character. LOL
Best moment was the cliffhanger ending, which I normally don't like, but this one was a good one.
Have you watched any shows that ended already? Which were your favorites?
