Castle
Lived up to the Hype?: Oh, hell yes. Hard to follow last year’s epic and
intense finale, but I think they may have done it.
Excitement for Next Season?: Absolutely. Now that we’ve
covered will they or won’t they, there is just so much more. Extremely well done.
Questions Remaining?: What will they do now? Can’t you see Beckett & Castle
(Caskett? Beckstle?) become private detectives a la Veronica Mars. Okay, so it’s highly unlikely, but
wouldn’t it be fun? More likely
they’ll get called back into work, because they are a badass crime solving
duo. Even Gates has to admit that,
unless she’s evil. I’m going to
ponder that over the summer.
Standout Performances/Character Moments: I wanted to punch
Javy in the face, and I love Ryan.
Also, love that Tahmoh Penikett (aka Paul from Dollhouse, and Helo from
Battlestar Galactica) was cast as the shooter. Hope we get to see him some more next season, you know,
before he gets killed/arrested.
The New Girl
Lived up to the Hype?: I don’t think there was a lot of
hype, but it was awesome.
Excitement for Next Season?: Yes, in that we get more fun
with the roommates. All four of
them.
Questions Remaining?: Nah. We all know that Nick & Jess are meant to be, some day.
For now, they can all just keep hanging out.
Standout Performances/Character Moments: Technically, AC/DC
is not a character on the show, but maybe it could be. The end sequence with everyone dancing
to You Shook Me All Night Long has got to be one of the best endings to a
season ever.
Two Broke Girls
Lived up to the Hype?: Well, I mean, it had Martha
Stewart. Which, for a show about
two girls who want to have a cupcake business, is pretty awesome.
Excitement for Next Season?: Not particularly, but I will
certainly keep watching.
Questions Remaining?: Not really that kind of show. And I assume we are done with Johnny
and can move on now. I like that
the romance elements of this show are secondary. I’m sure they will come into play if it keeps going, but for
now, all about the ladies.
Standout Performances/Character Moments: I think in general, the addition of
Jennifer Coolidge mid-season was a brilliant choice. She fits into the little dysfunctional that they have
created extremely well. The scene in the dress store was classic.
Books read: 25, Halfway! (Couldn’t put down Shine by Lauren
Myracle, it was incredible)
Coming Soon: On a roll with TV mashups, Sarah writes cameos
for Nathan Fillion to appear on both The New Girl & Two Broke Girls. On The New Girl he subs for Jess when
she is out sick and gives Captain Hammer like advice to her students on how to
deal with bullies and super villains, with Nick, Winston, & Schmidt’s
assistance. On Two Broke Girls he
plays a wealthy writer with a cupcake obsession looking to invest in a new
business, but things fall apart when we realize that the girls getting rich
would pretty much ruin the point of the show (it’s very meta).
