500 Episodes
At the beginning of the year I committed to doing the 500 episodes in 2012 meme. I decided to only include stuff I've watched since posting about it the first time on January 9th. Things I'm rewatching will be marked by red letters. I'll try to give brief review of the episodes I've watched and rate them.
Sherlock 2x02 "The Hounds of Baskerville"
Rating: ★ ★ ★
After the flawlessness of 2x01, I found this episode lacking somehow. Weird, since I usually enjoy Gatiss' writing. But here I felt the pacing was off and the CIA plot twist at the end, while not predictable, felt very contrived.
Sherlock 2x02 "The Reichenbach Fall"
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Words still fail me when I try to describe this episode. So, so brilliant. And if you weren't in tears at the end, there's something seriously wrong with you.
Parks and Recreation 4x11
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
My show is back! Hilarious throughout, but the ending scene with the red carpet on the ice had me in tears, clutching my sides, doubling over from laughing so hard.
Parks and Recreation 4x12
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★
The campaign adds were great! Loved Ron's storyline, but somehow didn't care for Andy and April's.
The Big Bang Theory 5x12, 5x13
Rating: ★ ★ ★
Business as usual. This show still makes me laugh, but I don't find it quite as hilarious as I used to.
American Horror Story 1x12
Rating: ★
I loved the first eleven episodes of this show. Seriously addictive and great story telling. But this episode. Just no. Not only did it contain multiple flashbacks-of-doom (one of my very few TV pet peeves), it also tried to wrap up too many storylines and ended up ruining everything. I read that they got renewed for a second season. I don't think I'll be tuning in.
Fringe 4x08
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★
Fringe is finally back after a too long hiatus. And after a not so stellar beginning of the season, it feels like the show is finally finding its groove again.
Fringe 4x09
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★
Only on Fringe will you get conversations like this:
"I lost a partner."
"But I lost a universe!"
And scenes with 8 characters but only five actors.
Verliebt in Berlin 1x01-1x20
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (on the craptastic scala of craptasticness)
Yes, I'm not watching the first ever German telenovela, I'm rewatching it. Don't judge! If you understood German, you'd also be addicted to this show in its full and utter craptastic glory.
This brings my grand total so far to
Episodes watched: 9
Episodes rewatched: 20
