TV commentary:
The Borgias- Almost done with the 2nd season. I love Cesare and Micheletto and their pack of "stray dogs". I know Cesare is displeased at having to take the cloth when he's way more suited to lead the papal armies than Juan. But honestly, I think that would've been a waste of his talents as well. He would make a good military leader no doubt. But he also has a mind for intrigue, so he's much more effective where he is, still being cardinal, but leading a group of rogues for special missions and advising his father.
It is also cool to see Lucrezia come into her own. Juan still sucks though. I mean, trying to stage Paolo's death as a suicide, not realizing he was illiterate and thus could not write a suicide note. Which, he wouldn't have known. But he did also screw up big time at Forli. Though again, I guess Cesare kinda screwed him over by withholding vital intel.
Hopefully they'll take out Savenrola soon. I dislike religious zealots like that. And really, his "children" are nothing more than thugs and bullies.
Degrassi- Halfway through this season. Glad Miles finally confessed all he knew about Hunter, because dude definitely needed to be institutionalized for a while. And I'm surprised how long they've been dragging out the stuff with his twin. I mean, I guess its realistic that Frankie doesn't see her privilege and while she may not have intended to be racist with her drawing, it was still taken that way. But instead of apologizing and realizing how her actions were quite hurtful, she keeps digging herself into a bigger hole. Especially with that douche Jonah validating her and saying she's doing nothing wrong.
Its unfortunate, because she was striking back at Northern Tech for their prank first, one that caused her to be exposed to a lot of the school. So I can see how she felt wronged. But everything after her prank, she just handled the situation horribly.
The Zoe stuff is interesting, with her totally closeted and faking a relationship with Winston to try and seem "normal". It sounds like they're doing a self-harm storyline with her? (And hey, she and Esme had a certain chemistry going on, I wouldn't be averse to something going on between them)
I am disappointed over the whole Grace thing. I mean, they want to "subvert stereotypes" and her actually be straight, whatever. But ugh, her also liking Zig? What do these girls see in that douche?
It was cool to see old faces in the 500th episode, though it was disappointing that they couldn't get certain people. Like there was no way they'd get Drake. And honestly, it would've been weird to see Nina Dobrev back. But it would've been nice to have seen Manny or Ellie.
The Fosters- Can't this family catch a break?! So due to Lena's dad skimping on paying taxes, they may lose the house?! Which is weird, because does that mean the house used to belong to her family? That doesn't seem to mesh from what we've seen of their family histories, but maybe I'm wrong.
Also, what the heck was up with the strippers? Like who ordered them? That was a party with her parents and children! ccv('Inappropriate!') Also, incredibly awkward for everyone.
Did Jude and that girl who's name I keep forgetting break up at some point and become just friends? Because I don't recall that happening. Like when Jude posted that pic of him and Noah on FB (or fake-FB) claiming they were in a relationship to make Connor jealous, I figured it would be the girl being all, "What the hell!?" as opposed to Noah. I mean, I guess it totally seemed like she was trying to hook the two of them up, so she seems to realize Jude is gay and is using her as a beard. But like I said, at no point did they act like they ended the charade.
Other stuff, the witness who could exonerate Callie's ex foster brother is acting all shady, having perhaps been intimidated by the real killer? (I think its a stretch though to think AJ or his brother are somehow involved, like some viewers do. Like where the hell are they getting that from?) And Jesus breaks up with Emma (well, I guess ends their friends with benefits arrangement) because she made him feel dumb or something. Also, Stef tells Lena's mom about Brandon giving Cortney money for her divorce lawyer, and Lena's mom, all drunk hilariously drags Cortney about it at the party. Well, at least it wasn't in front of everyone.
