TV
shows used to be my escape from the world. While, when I’ve run out of
cupcakes. So it saddens me that when I try to revisit a beloved TV show (i.e.
spend a weekend re-watching it because I am broke and payday is a week away) I
manage to find so many things wrong. So I have decided to compile a list of
things my favourite TV shows have done wrong. And yes, it’s been a long-ass
month of me having too little money and lots of time…
…The
Gossip Girl Writers Think we’re stupid.
 |
| Nate probably thinking 1 +1 =? |
There
is this moment in season 5 of GG where Serena’s dad says her brother Eric cannot
come home for an event because he’s stuck in Zaire. And then Serena corrects
him by saying “I think it’s called the
Democratic Republic of Congo now”. Like she knew that. Her dress is literally
cut down to her navel but we’re expected to buy that she knows where it is and
that there’s a country called the DRC. Bitch please. The other thing that really
makes me mad because I take the journalism world so seriously is that Nate is
running a publishing company. Nate…I realise he comes from a world of privilege
and connections but this isn’t an assistant position. He is the editor in chief.
And he has yet to finish college. Or *not* fuck any female character
with the exception of his mother on the show. Nice one.
…Carrie
Planned Her Trip All Wrong.
 |
| This could have been avoided. |
I
have watched the final season of Sex and the City way too many times. And after
all the shit Big has put Carrie through, she deserves a fabulous older
ex-ballet dancer who can provide a happy life filled with new adventures, aka
The Russian. So when they meet, he is a famous artist who hasn’t done a show
for years and has infinite time to spend with her. He gets a new show in Paris
and invites her to move with him. All of a sudden he is working all the time
and not there for her every moment. So girlfriend who is understandably a
little homesick gets all weird in his grill and then they break up and Big
arrives, blah blah blah. Now if I were Carrie, I’d realise, hey my boyfriend is
about to embark on an artistic comeback, maybe he needs a bit of space. I’ll
move countries when he’s closer to the opening and then when it’s done we can
carry on living our amazing lives together. See, problem fixed.
…Debra
Messing Cannot Dress For Shit On Smash
 |
| Intervention starts now. |
Her
character is a successful playwright with musicals on Broadway. She is trying
to adopt a little Chinese baby. She also has a double-storey house. In Manhattan.
She can afford to stop wearing ill-fitting cardigan shrug thingys and palazzo
pants. Also, enough with the scarves.
…The
Other Carrie Is Clearly Not Allergic to Sulphur
 |
| Glug, glug, glug |
So
I have a slight allergy to sulphur. Which means I cannot drink more than two
glasses of wine before I turn into a sneezy, red-faced wreck. I once drank an
entire bottle of sparkling wine in half an hour because of boy problems and the
result was not pretty. So I take my wine slowly. Carrie on Homeland does not.
Firstly it’s pronounced Kerri which is weird in itself. Secondly, she drinks
the stuff like it’s water. Taking big ol’ gulps like she’s been in the dessert
and shit. I have never ever seen anyone do that to wine before. It’s just not
right or fun. And I once lost a drinking game in Thailand and had to drink a
bucket of other people’s beer.
