This Is Us: Birth Mother (2021)
Bawled
I didn't get teary, I downright sobbed out loud for half the episode. So heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time.
Travelers: Protocol Omega (2018)
Best Episode of the Series
I do not want this series to end because I love it so much, but if it does, this episode was near perfection. I just watched it a second time and appreciate the writing, acting and story line even more. Chills and tears.
This Is Us: This Big, Amazing, Beautiful Life (2018)
Stray From the Core Cast, but Beautifully Powerful
This episode revolved around Deja, and it was incredibly heartwrenching, powerful, and beautiful. I really enjoyed getting a backstory on Deja so viewers could understand what makes her her and her life before joining the Pearson's lives.
I won't say more or spoil it, but am I the only one who felt incredibly compelled to either adopt or become a foster parent after watching this episode?! There are so many "Dejas" out there in need of a good home. It makes me want to cry.
This Is Us: Vegas, Baby (2018)
Feel-Good, Fun Episode Without Death and Tears. YAY!
This was such a welcome and refreshing episode for me (Definitely top 5!) Cute, happy flashbacks that were touchingly sweet and almost provoked happy tears. Flash forward and the present-day characters laughed and had fun!
It was also great seeing them interact with people outside of the circle. The music was even more upbeat. This show wouldn't have been able to sustain itself being depressing and make people cry every week, and I am so glad to see that the writers can craft a wonderfully entertaining episode like this. Don't get me wrong, the realness and sap were still there, but weren't forced and overwhelming. I look forward to more episodes like this!
The Shape of Water (2017)
First Movie I've Ever Walked Out On
I went to this movie without seeing any trailers or reading anything about it aside from hearing how many awards it was nominated for. From the first 10-15 minutes, I had a feeling I knew how the plot would go, but really hoped I was wrong. I kept hoping it would get interesting, stayed semi-entertained by great acting, and just kept holding on for my husband. I finally walked out with about a 1/2 hour to go, but unfortunately, I waited too long and now find myself wishing I could un-see and un-experience the whole thing.
I've very disappointed that this is what our society thinks is award-winning film.
The Walking Dead: The First Day of the Rest of Your Life (2017)
I Finally Felt it Again
So many terrible reviews for this episode, but for me, it was the first time I felt something other than disgust, repulsion, or boredom in a very long time. The second half of the episode felt alive and exciting again.
I thought that the season was incredibly drawn out (as were seasons 5 and 6) and I hated myself sometimes for sitting through 60-90 minutes of it each week, but I just want to see how it ends. Finally, I wasn't yawning and watching the clock.
Ideally, this would have been the mid-season finale and the previous episodes would have been condensed into a half season.
The Walking Dead: The Cell (2016)
An Hour of My Life I Wish I Could Have Back
I have watched every episode of this show, many more than once, and have longed for 9pm on Sunday nights for years, but this was just brutal. It was the most boring hour of television I have ever watched. I get the artistic attempt and trying to get the viewer to see the monotony and feel broken down. I do. But I got that after the first 10 minutes. This was a waste of an episode to spend so much time on this.
Why were walkers randomly coming off the overpass? How about intertwining these scenes with some scenes of other characters? I am very tired of dragging story lines out for months to focus on characters (without essentially developing them or moving the plot along).
PLEASE get TWD back to the caliber of its first few seasons.
*The extra star to make it a 2 is for the Negan casting.
