No Finding Carter On Tuesday

Hey People.

So I knew there was a new Finding Carter episode last Tuesday, but I decided not to do a recap for two reasons. 1) I was in New York and I didn't have time and 2) while I was watching the episode, I wasn't even sure I wanted to continue the series anymore.

The 1st season started out great with Carter and her struggles and it's still about that, it's just that I knew it couldn't be the focus forever and, of course, other characters were going to have their shit to deal with, but everyone else's shit is just shit.

• The thing with the parents (but they were always messed up to begin with)
• Maylor no longer and now Taylor is with Ofe (I don't hate on the new couple, but god is Taylor just annoying as ever this season)
• Armadillo is still being ignored (but what else is new?)
• Everyone seems to forgive Crash for what he did (this is the worst of them all. The writers are trying to redeem his character and I dub him nonredeemable. There is a difference between forgiving someone and hanging out with someone and acting like nothing ever happened. The gun thing was an accident, but taking out a gun in the first place and trying to rob Max wasn't) 

I gave it 5 episodes this season and I find myself only looking forward to the parts where Carter has to deal with her kidnapper, everything else is just skip-able. 

Luv ya,

Hey People,

I'm in New York for the day! Why am I telling you? I have no idea.

S1 E9

Okay that may have been the best episode so far this season. It was a bit hectic with the timeline jumping all over the place, but it made sense in the end.

I love how you didn't know whose side Walker was on. Was he helping Royale to kill Wolfe or was he being a cop and this was all an elaborate plan to imprison Royale? Turns out in the end, Walker wanted to be a cop, but he wanted to be a power foremost and that's why he tried to go for them when he had the chance. But unfortunately for him, he has a smart team that know him and that knew he would go for his power, which is why they moved Wolfe to level 13, hence the name of the episode. But what they didn't anticipate was Royale releasing Simons and when Simons found out Royale was captured, he released Wolfe from his slumber. So now Wolfe is on the loose and the first thing he wants to do is talk to Walker and Royale together.

We are at the season finale people. Today is the last episode and oddly enough I find myself looking forward to it. I always think this show isn't that great and then I watch it and get drawn in. It's really weird and is freaking me out. Wolfe basically told Walker he had no more power to lick off him, so I'm hoping he gets them back this episode.

Also, why didn't Walker and Retro Girl kiss? A kiss on the chick, really? After a moment like that?

S4 E20

I'm not going to lie people, I got the feels on this one. Leave it to POI to change the game on a flashback. Hopefully this episode put to bed all the bad rumors that Taraji P. Henson left on bad terms. She came back and it was like she never left. I loved how John followed Carter's first case. While Finch and Root were dealing with the war between Elias and The Brotherhood, John was saving a number that just so happened to be a Carter's cold case. The whole time we thought it was a flashback of a number we haven't seen before, which it was, but it was more than that. John was hallucinating the flashback because he was shot and was dying. I started to question the flashback when Carter brought up the therapist. What was nice about the Carter and John stakeout is we got to see how distant John really was and how he regrets not opening himself up to Carter.

I love this episode because it shows another side of John. John admits he was thinking of committing suicide, he admits that he thought it was better to die alone without someone to care for him, he admits that is was better to not have a family. Through Carter, he displays how far he has come. Through Carter, he shows his strength. The best part of the episode is the ending. We don't see Finch and we don't see Root, all we see is headlights, knowing that John will be saved in the end because now John has a family.

S3 E20

I like shows where any person can die or leave like Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead so I appreciate what Chicago Fire is doing, but why can't they get rid of people no one cares about or people that won't be missed? I'm going to miss Peter Mills and basically the prospect of Mills and Dawson. Even though Mills will be out of the game, I still won't root for Dawson and Casey, so I liked how Mills gave a kiss to Dawson before he left. Funny thing is someone asked the writers if the kiss would be stuck in her head at all and they basically said no, so what was the point of writing it in then?

Severide finds out the girl he's starting to fall for is off to discover the world, but she'll be back once Chicago Med starts up ;) at least they got down and dirty before she left.

Cruz and Otis had to tell Herrmann to bench his son because he sucked at hockey and Herrmann didn't take it so well, but when all was said and done he did end up benching his son and his son was as happy as can be.

We will be getting someone new to replace Mills on paramedics so no Rafferty, on the bright side the person they're replacing him with is pretty hot. This will be the start of anther crossover between Chicago PD and Law & Order: SVU. I'm not going to lie to you people, I'm kind of getting sick of these. This is the 4th one (we had one big crossover in the beginning, another between the Chicagos and then we just had one with Med). Someone said they could just picture it now a 4 show crossover between the Chicagos and SVU. If they do, please let it be once a season. If the Chicagos are all in one night (Fire, Med, and PD), it would be even better so we can get the whole story out in one night. I'll make sure to cover it all so don't worry about it, I got you covered.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

S1 E8

So Deena finally caught Annoying Girl aka Calista and now she's locked up. The sway didn't kill her so she must have a power and I'm telling you her power is to annoy the shit out of people. Deena and Walker also found out that she and the dead detective's son were behind the Kaotic Chic video that went viral and they knew exactly where the boy was going to be. When they tracked him down to an event held by Retro Girl, things got out of hand when Zora's handlers thought it was a good idea to stage a fight between Zora and a known villain. The boy got in the middle of it and his mother, one of the handlers, tried to protect him, but she was just another casualty in a war, even if it was staged.

Now the dead detective's son is an orphan (I think I'll call him orphan from now on. I still refuse to call him Krispin), Retro Girl wants to quit her day job because of shit like this happening, another power is dead because of sway, and Royale finally found his lighter that Walker had all along.

I did like this episode, but what I liked most about it was the back-story of Walker and Royale.

S2 E3

Elizabeth and David are separating, which is a surprise to no one. I know some people are upset with Elizabeth calling her a hypocrite because she cheated too, but she's not mad at David for cheating, she's mad at what became of the cheating--Lori entering their lives. Once David knew of Lori being the kidnapper, he still didn't come clean. So now Elizabeth and David will take turns being in the house. Elizabeth needs some time to think if she can forgive David.

Speaking of forgiveness, Taylor is still upset with Max for trying to forgive Crash. Now I understand Max wanting to forgive, I wouldn't be against it, but he doesn't have to be buddy-buddy with him. Taylor has it wrong though. You can't dictate what someone wants to do. Taylor has no say on who Max should forgive. It has nothing to do with her. She should be mad instead of him becoming friends with Crash. I think friendship is a little too much, especially when Crash is unwelcomed in the house and he shows up anyway to see Carter. Seriously, Crash has had so many chances, can't he just go away? I know Carter has this need to fix everything, but I think some things shouldn't be fixed and should be left alone. Carter tries to fix Taylor and Max and that went to crap. But I'm glad they didn't get back together because then it would just make Taylor look like she doesn't know what she wants.

Because of the anniversary of their grandparents, the family had to go to the party and now they will forever be known as the twins where one was kidnapped and the other was drunk, but I like drunk Taylor so I don't mind. Taylor lashed out at Carter for trying to fix her relationship with Max and for the grandmother's friend, who works for admissions at Stanford, practically begging Carter to go to Stanford and ignoring her. But in the end all is forgiven. The grandparents know everything now except for David's affair with Lori.

Speaking of Lori. she has been trying to call the girls from jail to talk to them, but neither picked up until the end when Carter told Lori to leave her and her family alone. Carter has come so far. Also, it was so weird when Armadillo asked his father why he wasn't dating his teacher assistant. Does he not want his parents to be together? I also caught the TA looking at Armadillo in a weird way. I don't trust that TA at all.

S1 E20

This was a good case-of-the-week. At first I liked it because the ballerina wasn't dead, so this would be the first case that actually wasn't a homicide, but since the press was all over it, they had to work it. I'm actually shocked that Henry automatically assumed that the ballerina was dead. I didn't think she was. When you have no body that automatically means to me that maybe the person isn't dead. Anyway, the real twist comes in the end when it is revealed that the ballerina was behind the whole thing just so her name could live forever as the ballerina that could have been the greatest. Damn, that was good and I knew once it was revealed that they would've never been able to prove it. So chick walks free, or more like strolls free since she made her brother, who ended up killing himself (run then jump when you're trying to jump rooftops), caught off her own leg.

As for the flashback, it tied in nicely with the case-of-the-week. A french artist took heroin to inspire her artwork, but it ended up killing her in the end. At least her work will live forever.

As for that moment between Henry and Jo, I won't think much of it for now. I don't think Jo knows what she's feeling yet and I don't think she feels anything for Henry yet either. I just think she knows that rich guy wasn't for her and maybe a guy like Henry is what she wants. Usually Abe is cool with his timing, but boy did he cockblock. At least he found his mother. I hear tonight's episode will be about Abigail, so I can't wait for this to get settled on whether or not she's immortal. I don't think she is.

Henry decides to hold off on trying Adam's theory of killing himself with the weapon that killed him the first time because there's a difference between wanting something and actually doing it.

S3 E19

Last episode was the backdoor pilot for Chicago Med. I never really cover cases-of-the-week for Chicago Fire because I more interested in the firefighters than them putting out fires. However, since this episode is not the usual, I'll give it a mention. A man who works with infectious diseases planned a terror attack on the hospital by using himself as a weapon. Except he forgot to lay low for awhile so the disease could spread throughout his body so it could affect other people. You would think a man who works with diseases would know that, but whatever. Severide got hurt, but he was saved.

In the end, no one caught the disease, not even the guy who had a piece of bone stuck in him from the bomber, which I find odd. Anyway, everyone celebrated at Molly's and Dawson and Casey hooked up. They agree this doesn't mean they're getting back together. I sure hope they don't.

Overall, not a bad episode. I would like to see Chicago Med standalone before I commit to it. As for tonight's episode of Chicago Fire, I hope we get to see more Otis being infatuated with Brett.

Hey People,

S1 E7

Just when I think this show went to crap, it pulls me back in. That ending. Was it the detective's son? Probably not, he doesn't seem like he has the balls to kill someone. My bet is Chaotic Chick or a nobody who did it in the name of Kaotic Chic.

Okay so Walker still doesn't know that he has powers and I'm pretty sure he stole some sway and Deena is onto him and his powers. The biggie is we find out non-powers who take sway are instantly killed, so either annoying girl is going to die, which I really wouldn't care about, or we'll actually find out what her power is, which would finally make her interesting because her relationship with the detective's son is all kinds of crap. I seriously started laughing when they were having their fight. Girl was jealous as hell and I really don't understand why when they've known each other for a minute.

Retro Girl confronted Zora on her being fake, but at least now Zora knows the truth about who really took down Wolfe. RG told Zora that she has a decision to make on what kind of hero she wants to be.

Wolfe wants Walker to get him out of his prison even though he said he wanted to be drained of all his powers. So that stunt he proclaimed was all for nothing. I don't even know what was the point of him saying that when he was lying about it. Anyway, Walker knows Wolfe was trying to mess with his head again and so Walker tries to get info from Royale on why he was visiting Wolfe. Royale takes Walker somewhere and we're left wondering where.

This story has such potential and it's sad that Playstation is fucking it up. BTW, Simons was captured. At least they did a good job with the way the captured him.

S2 E2

Taylor is still having problems adjusting to Lori being her mother and I'm guessing that on top of Crash being back and being the single reminder of Max being shot is making her one very mad woman. She can't believe Max is willing to forgive Crash for what he's done, but Max doesn't want to be the victim and if he stays mad at Crash, then Crash wins and he does end up a victim. Shit, Max is so wise, it's crazy. It may take awhile for Max to forgive, but he's willing. Taylor thinks that they are in 2 different places right now and so the great Maylor breakup. But watch out for Ofe because he might be moving in on Taylor.

Carter figures out that there must be more to the story if Lori wanted to talk to both of her parents and so she asks David and David finally reveals what everyone has been suspecting--he had an affair with Lori. David asks Carter to keep it a secret from Elizabeth until he's ready to tell her, which would have been never because he thought it would end his marriage. In the end, Elizabeth found out anyway because Lori was telling the feds the story and she heard it on the other side of the glass. David is in some deep shit.

Carter did end up meeting Crash, but she's not ready to forgive him. Hell, she still doesn't even know if she should forgive him. I don't care what she does. I just hope she doesn't get back with him. The last thing she needs is Crash back into her life.

S4 E19

Okay what was Martine doing as a brunette. Root was right she is way hotter as a blonde. Zoe was back for the episode and she didn't play a huge part, but she did tell us something we all know is already true. Iris is a dead woman walking as long as Reese keeps seeing her. I'm just glad Zoe wasn't jealous. Like she said, she's just protective.

Anyway, the case-of-the-week once again mixes with our mythology and does a splendid job of keeping me interested. However, I do have to say with Root still feeling the effect of Shaw and wanting to kill Martine on top of it did make me miss Shaw for the first time. I miss Shaw all the time, but never while I watch.

Samaritan targeted a bio-tech guy, who would help it search for The Machine with his invention. Since the bio-tech guy is so suspicious, he had to be eliminated and in the end, he was. The takeaway from the episode is that now Samaritan has a way to search for The Machine and it's only a matter of time before its found.

Root procured a case that seems nearly indestructible. I thought she was after what was inside the case, which turned out to be just an artifact, but it was the case itself The Machine wanted. Smash went the artifact, which looked really pretty to tell you the truth. I wonder what Team Machine will need it for.

Taraji P. Henson (Empire) is coming back to her TV roots and is dawning Carter once again. Do not miss this episode.

Hey People,

So I have a lot of shows on Tuesday now and it doesn't help that 4 of them are on at the same time.

S1 E6

I was confused for a minute if Walker really did take Wolfe's power or at least some of it, but Royalle confirmed that he did indeed take it that's why he's trying to extract sway from users. Sway is too powerful of a drug.

Deena is still mad about Walker locking her up in a cell and the fact he took sway. She needs to trust her partner because her father basically fucked over his partner and got him killed.

I've been calling him the dead detective's son because I couldn't remember his name and now that I know it's Krispin, I think I'll continue using dead detective's son. He sleeps with annoying girl, well there's a shocker, but the honeymoon ends rather quick when annoying girl finds out the video they taped earlier was released and Chaotic Chick released it making it seem like the hero, who was trying to stop them from tagging, killed the people in the car accident. Annoying girl wasn't having any of it even though she sampled a few moments before.

Retro Girl figures out Walker is the one who took Wolfe down and since Triphammer's main goal in life is to get drunk, he tells a story about the Black Swan. Now, Retro Girl and Walker have to figure out what that is. Then all of a sudden Wolfe appears on TV giving a statement of how he wants to be drained completely because it's the only way for people to be safe. All I can think about is what is Wolfe up to and why doesn't Walker know he has powers? Did it wore off? Maybe that's why he was asking Trippy all those questions that he was too drunk to answer. Also, Triphammer is trying to get another Drainer to work at the police station, but for some reason it's not woring. Retro girl doesn't like the idea of the Drainer. She thinks it's a ticking time bomb. If I had to guess, the Black Swan is a permanent drainer, which is exactly what Wolfe would be looking for.

S2 E1

I love how you can tell that time has passed between the last episode and this one based on everyone's hair being longer and how Armadillo is taller than Carter now.

I'm a little upset with myself that I got the theory wrong, but in my defense, I did mention the theory that turned out to be true. Lori is the crazy egg donor lady that now wants her kids back and thinks abducting one of them to get the attention of the other will work. She does not think her plans through. It's anonymous for a reason lady.

Lori ends up going to jail and Carter and Taylor are safe at home, but everything has changed. Now the truth is out and Taylor needs some time to deal with her biological mother being a psycho. On the plus side, Elizabeth is the only mother Taylor knows and she's the only one Carter wants. I love that line.

Max is back and he's here to stay! I'm happy that Maylor is back on, but I have to say, I thought their breakup and makeup was too quick. Why did Max change his mind all of a sudden? He's been dealing a lot with his accident, but he seems very distant from Taylor. When a woman invites you to her room and a guy says no, you know something's up.

S1 E19

Ugh, why is Jo still going out with that rich loser? She can do so much better. Anyway, he wasn't around much so I really shouldn't complain. The case-of-the-week involved a cold case of a woman who was stuck in a wall for 30 something years and is finally found. Turns out she had some rockers child and didn't want to burden the rocker because she wanted him to focus on his career, but then she changed her mind and did want to burden him, but the man who helped her get sober and clean didn't want her to go back to the rocker and so he killed her and kept the child. The rocker was sent to jail for the murder because everyone thought he did it.

Henry is dealing with his abandonment issues. We find out that Abigail all of a sudden left Henry and Henry was determined to find her, but Abe told Henry to move on after a year of her missing. But by the end of the episode, we find out Abe is just like his father. He hasn't stopped looking for his mother.

Some people are speculating that Abigail is immortal based on nothing. I don't see the show going there, but who am I to say it can't happen. The Abigail mystery will be resolved by the end of the season.

S3 E18

I will never doubt my theory again. Brett and Otis might actually get together. For some reason, I'm more excited over the prospect of them than I ever was with Cruz and Brett. I love how Otis concluded that he was in love with Brett. I feel like Otis pining over Brett is going to be hysterical. Though I was thrown when Cruz broke up with Brett, but does it really matter who broke up with whom? Pride is a funny thing.

Peter Mills is fit for squad once again, but I doubt he will get it. I like Rice and I love Warren Christie so I hope he stays on the show. I guess it all depends on if viewers want Rice to stay because I know Christie wants to stay. Maybe this will create drama for Mills on whether he should stay in Chicago and keep the job he doesn't want or work in the family restaurant in North Carolina, which he also wouldn't want.

We found a lot out about Severide. His father slept with his teacher in high school. His mother checked into what I'm guessing is a mental facility and so with nowhere to go, Severide stayed with a friend's family. The thing is once senior year started, he acted like he didn't know the girl, who talked to her parents for him to stay with them. They haven't been the same since. Now the girl works for Chicago Med and Severide is trying to make up for lost time. We already know a romance will start soon with these, but I'm actually enjoying their friendship and think they shouldn't go there. Severide needs a friend since Shay died and I guess I'm still holding out for his wife to come back too.

But the main focus of the episode was Herrmann and how he hates parents who abuse/neglect their children. A father, who started a fire with a crack pipe, came away unscathed, but his young son died at the end of the episode. So now he shouldn't be charged with just arsonist and child endangerment, but you can add murderer to the list as well. This case reminds me of a real life situation where the father let his baby of a son smoke. It's true what they say, some parents shouldn't be parents.

Tonight's eppy I believe is the backdoor pilot of Chicago Med. If all goes well, it will be another spin-off for NBC.

S4 E18

Oh no, KISS OF DEATH! Anytime there's a kiss on this show, especially from John, the woman he kisses will end up dead. Iris is going to die y'all. But before I dive into this mess, let's go over the case.

We had the pleasure of seeing Katheryn Winnick (Bones, Vikings) playing as Frankie and man was she awesome. I would totally be on board if they brought her into the show full-time or even part-time (I mean girl has a black belt). The case wasn't that unique--Frankie wanted revenge for the killing of her brother--but the ending was. Note to self: when making deals, make sure to listen to the wording of phrases and never trust Harper. In the end, the bad guys were caught and as much as Frankie likes the idea of Reese in handcuffs, she knew he was a taken lad.

Speaking of Harper, The Machine has her on speed dial. Harper is working for The Machine and she doesn't even know it.

As for Finch and Root, Finch was going on a date with conference woman, who works for Samaritan. She was going to implement her code into Samaritan, but Finch created a backdoor in Hong Kong in her code so they could kill Samaritan from within. The thing is once Finch turns it on, his cover would be blown and he would end up dead. Root can't handle another death in her family, not after Shaw, so she decides to kill the woman. Finch doesn't want another death on his hands so he takes poison that Root was going to kill the woman with. Root backs down from her killing plans and somehow Finch makes it to the hospital in less than 10 mins. Root instead discredits the woman's work and frames Finch so the woman wouldn't want to continue seeing Finch anymore. Finch said he needs time to get over what Root would have done and Root leaves. Hopefully, Root can come back sooner rather than later. I don't like it when both Root and Shaw are out of the picture.

As for John and Iris, Iris you are a dead woman walking. Iris confesses her feelings for John even though she's not supposed to have any because he's her patient, which is why she referred him to another therapist, but chick don't care. She basically said fuck it and kissed John anyway and now she's going to die.

I swear, anytime I finish an episode, I just want to watch the next one right after. Too bad I can't because I watch it weekly. This is such a binge worthy show. Anyway, there were some people who didn't feel for this episode. I wasn't one of them, but they did have some good points. The Root and Finch situation was a bit of a stretch. Root killing someone to save someone she cares about was understandable especially since what has happened this season, but Finch taking poison is just something that Finch wouldn't do even to prevent someone he cared about from dying. Some people don't like Harper. I get that, but Harper does what's best for Harper not what's great for the world and I don't think people should hate on her for that. Now some say they felt more chemistry with Frankie than they ever felt for Iris. This I don't agree with. Frankie and John would have seemed rushed to me but Iris had a slow build and I like relationships like that. However, now I'm skeptical about Iris because some people think she's a Samaritan operative and if she was that would have been something I did not foresee. It would be interesting if she was, but oh so sad for John.

Finding Carter Is Back!

Hey People,

I totally forgot Finding Carter 2nd season premiered last night. Wasn't on top of my game. I could promise that it won't happen again, but it most likely will, so I won't. 

I know that I used to write diary entries for this show, but this season I think I'll do a regular recap. It's hard to do a diary when people are in different places. But if you would like to check out those entries then click here. Otherwise, click here for a full review of last season.

I won't forget next Tuesday and I'm already watching the premiere as should you.

Finding Carter Season 1 Review

Hey People,

During the earlier days of this site, I wrote a review for Finding Carter and now it's been 3 months and so much has happened since then with this site and the show. Well since this is a review for the show, I'll just stick to what has happened with that. Let's begin.

The 5 Stages of Carter

Denial- Carter denies the fact that her mother is not her mother and that this can't be happening to her. She ends up in a place that is unknown to her, but is known to everyone else as home.

Anger- Carter rejects her biological mother by calling her Elizabeth instead of mom and a lot of animosity is built up towards her bio mother. At one point there is a tit for tat to see who can control whom. However, she accepts her father, sister and brother because she never had any of those before.

Bargaining- Carter bargains with her father about staying with Elizabeth and in return he can write the book he's already been writing unknown to her.

Depression- Carter realizes that her farther has been writing the book all along and on top of that he lied about a meeting with her mom. She feels like she can't trust her real parents and goes off with Crash on an adventure.

Acceptance- Carter realizes Crash is a danger to others and she also realizes her kidnapper mom is indeed a crazy lady. Also one of the best moments of the show, she calls Elizabeth her mom.

Finding Carter S1 E12

Dear Diary,

Zip codes have another 4 digits to them? You learn something every day. Lori, you freak. Why do you have pictures of the young couple back in the day? You are serious stalker. I should learn from you. She should be my mentor. What am I saying? B*tch is crazy.

Aww, Elizabeth keeps David's love letters. So I guess they're really going to give this marriage another go. I wonder if there's any other secrets David is still hiding. Me thinks there is. I'm talking about that phone conversation Diary. I still remember.

Lori is not only a kidnapper, but a stalker. The only good thing that comes out of it is Carter is willing to catch her now.

Even better news, Max is awake!

Lori next time you wear a wig choose one that doesn't stand out from the crowd. I'm seriously asking myself how did you not get caught on you're way over. You're no pro! You just a wanna be. I'll break down the conversation for you Diary.

Carter: Mom, WTF?
Lori: This house is way too nice. I missed you baby.
Carter: Mom, you're a psycho.
Lori: Is that what they told you? Lies! You need to find the truth.
Carter: That's funny coming from you.
Lori: Take this and shove it up their asses, but don't give yourself a paper cut in the process.
Carter: Gross.
Lori: I'm still your mom?
Carter: F*ck no!
Lori: Que catch phrase with tears.

Finding Carter S1 E11

Dear Diary,

Where is he!? If I find you Crash, you're a dead man walking or running...from the police. Ugh, I knew he was trouble, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt for Carter. Obviously, Carter is a bad judge of character. Actually now that I think about it, she's been a bad judge in character. I mean all I have to say is Lori and you get the picture.

Carter vs. Taylor
Taylor 01 (sting)
Carter 00

Carter you are an idiot. Why are you defending Crash still? He pointed a gun at your best friend, shot him and then took off. I'm with Elizabeth. If he really cared, he would have stayed until the paramedics showed up and not worry about his ass going to jail. If he cared, he wouldn't have pulled that stunt in the first place. I get that Carter wants to find the good in everyone, but that doesn't mean you look pass their wrongs. Crash did wrong and now he has to serve time for that, plain and simple.

Finding Carter S1 E10

Dear Diary,

Ugh, do I really have to follow this girl with her annoying boyfriend? Thankfully she's not smart enough to break her phone so I was able to follow her. So let me get this straight, Carter's charges were dropped, yet she's still going to stay out on the road because of Crash? And how is it now not safe for Crash? I really don't get it, but then again I don't really get Crater at all so...there's that. It's so funny that if Crash was gone for a really long time Carter would make a whimpering dog sound. Really, man? Because if I were you, I would surely want to make Carter have other noises, but that's just me.

So I was doing my usual stalking when all of a sudden I hear a noise on my phone. AMBER ALERT with Carter's face on it. Oh Elizabeth, you are so awesome. Now this makes sense for Crater to run away with each other. They end up going to a random house, which when I did my research turned out to be Carter's old crazy mom's house. I love how Crash takes credit for finding Carter's mother. First of all kid, you didn't even find out, you may however have a lead. Ugh this guy. When I get a break from one annoying person, it's just replaced by another.

Finding Carter S1 E9

Dear Diary,

Were you smiling too when you saw Carter and Elizabeth together at the diner? Because I know I was Diary. I can get used to seeing them getting along with each other.

Ofe, Ofe, Ofe, don't you know? A black eye will always look bad unless you own it. I love how everyone basically tells him to go to the cops. Since when were these teenagers so trusting of cops? Teenagers are so fickle. Speaking of a fickle teenager, Taylor has changed and Carter likes it. I say, I like it too. Taylor isn't the slutty teen or the teenager who makes bad choices. She's reasonable and, well, perfect. Usually I hate perfect girls, but there's a first for everything.

This will shock you, Diary. Elizabeth and David are fighting again, but this time over David's lies (big-ass hypocrite). I swear he's turning into the big bad wolf at this point. He never lies? Really, Elizabeth? The fact that you said that makes me think you don't know your husband at all. Man has probably finished Finding Carter already. He's probably been lying to you his whole life. Are you even sure his real name is even David? You might be a detective, but let's be honest, you're not that great of one if crazy-mom has been lurking in your bushes for a while and you still haven't noticed yet.

Finding Carter S1 E8

Dear Diary,

So what the hell are we doing parked in a place like this? What are you up to Mr. Wilson? I still don't trust him. They've been sitting in the car for over an hour. If you really wanted a father and daughter moment, couldn't it have been in a place where I could have ordered something. I'm starving. Stalking does not pay well.

By the time Carter and David went home, Armadillo was telling Elizabeth how he really feels and then took off to Max's. Max thinks it was a Mormon bugging him but it was actually me coming to his house so I could bug it. Am I a genius or what? Armadillo, you really have bad timing man. Maylor was just about to get it on. Anyway, Armadillo breaks the news about the affair and then everyone eventually shows up at Max's place. Finally, Gabe has a reason to be in the room--to explain the affair.

Taylor and Carter take it upon themselves to stage an intervention for Elizabeth and I'm surprised that they didn't mess with her head to see how far she would go to lie about it. Elizabeth comes clean and states that she'll end it. However, I do recall her saying the same thing before to Kyle so I don't know how much I trust her words. But when David tells her he doesn't want to look like a fool, Elizabeth agrees to move out, but leaves everyone a letter before she does. Needless to say, they couldn't function as a family without her. And now I'm wondering if Taylor wasn't there, would they starve themselves to death.

Finding Carter Renewed!

Hey People,

So if you didn't understand the title, well then I'll explain. Finding Carter was renewed today for a 2nd season.

If you haven't seen the show yet because you were afraid it wouldn't get renewed or for whatever reason, now is the time to check it out. It's one of the very few teenage focused shows that I can stand watching and the plot is moving along at a very nice pace. The show really intrigues me.

For recaps/reviews, checkout the diary for Finding Carter on my blog and remember to watch tonight on MTV at 10pm.

Luv ya,

Finding Carter S1 E7

Dear Diary,

Did somebody say birthday? And party? Oh this is going to be good. And wouldn't it be great if you could turn another age in half the time back? Of course now, I wish I would age every 2 maybe 4 years. It would be so awesome if my birthday was on leap year.

I've never seen a mother down with her daughter cheating on her husband. I don't even know what to say about that, but what I do have to say is I love Taylor's speech. Right on the nose.

Hello Macy's, I didn't even know that you existed until this very moment when I walked in and saw your name plastered on the back of the wall. I also didn't know you could have great family moments in the dressing rooms. I'm sorry but all baby pictures look the same to me, but apparently Carter can tell the difference. I kind of love the double team Max and Taylor put on Carter. Hell, I just love Max and Taylor together and since they finally got together I can give them a name. I really want to call them Tax, but Maylor seems to spreading. Really people?

Finding Carter S1 E6

Dear Diary,

Well isn't that funny? Carter thought it was cute when Armadillo was talking about his girlfriend. Well I say it's kind of cute when Carter talks about Crash. Onward to Crash's place, which really isn't that much of a place.

I can't be at two places at once or four for that matter so I've decided to bug everyone. That way I can go home because I have a life too, Diary. I may be a stalker, but I'm a person first.

I guess we know now what part of the body decides who Gabe should date. Hint: It's not his brain or his heart. I guess it only takes a kiss for this lover boy to move on to his next crush. So Gabe is taking Taylor on a date. Never thought I would say that.

Max you were on a roll. This is the first time I had to say, 'That was an epic fail." I don't get it. Max is good at talking out his feelings. Now, he picks this moment to stay quiet. Don't let lover boy win, even though we all know he's not going to. Maybe Max and Taylor just have bad timing.

Finding Carter S1 E5

Dear Diary,

What's it like to own only one type of shirt? Anyway, Carter went to see Crash to find out how to track her mother down. She must must be really desperate to see her if she went to Crash. But she must be really really desperate if she wants to spend a whole day with Elizabeth in a car. I hope this brings them closer together.

David knows about the cheating (I guess because anytime she comes home and takes a shower is a huge dead give away), but now he can't get his check until he legally separates from Elizabeth.

Armadillo is the cutest thing ever. Out of the whole family, he's the only one that acts mature and can actually have adult conversations.

David and Elizabeth together made me so queasy I had to leave. I know I should be happy for them, but I guess knowing how sleazy David is makes it very hard. So I went to The Sanctuary to stalk Carter and the gang. Ofe is hysterical. "I taught her everything she knows." But as much as I would have liked Taylor's first kiss to be Max, their kiss must have been the best if they up and left the sanctuary together. I love how Max knows about being an accessory after the fact. This man surprises me everyday.

By the time Gabe dropped Carter home (is Taylor that good that he quits acting goofy around Carter), everyone was busy or maybe I should say was getting busy, but Elizabeth was the only one who was willing to listen to Carter. Even though they may not be ready for the next step yet, the fact that Elizabeth and Carter can have a conversation with each other without the snarky comments is a step in the right direction. I guess those 5 minutes of happy time paid off.

Luv ya,
          Diva

P.S. Is Lori Batwoman? Because that girl just up and left like no other.

Finding Carter S1 E4

Dear Diary,

Aren't Taylor and Max adorable? I thought it would be nice to start with something that was cute instead of the hideousness that followed next--the painting. I'm not artsy. Never was and never will be, but that picture scared me like no other. And why the hell did Bird spend the whole night putting those flyers up? Girl, you have way too much time on your hands to be doing all of that and don't even get me started on how she put them back up during school hours. Way too much time.

Did I mention the fact that I went 21 Jump Street in this school and bugged all parts of her house as well? I'm nothing, but thorough. There might be a cop in the house, but she's got nothing on my journalistic skills. I always know what they're looking for.

Gabe, oh Gabe. I seriously don't even want to spend time talking about you...so I won't. What I will talk about instead is how Bird and Carter fought for about 5 seconds until they reconciled. Oh high school, you make no sense and you're so much trouble, but you're worth it. I didn't care so much about the fight; although, I did think Carter was in the right for once and was taken back when she forgave so easily. Why can't she do this for her mother? But I especially love what this fight lead to--Bird's revelation. It's hard to admit you've been raped and there seems a lot more to discover about Bird than I first realized. Bird is very much alone and it's good that Carter is being such a good friend. But again, why can't she be a good daughter as well?

Finding Carter S1 E3

Dear Diary,

Why do guys think that if they save the day, they'll get a happily ever after with you? It is so hard to watch Gabe that I roll my eyes every time. I did like how she went around the curfew, which needed to be set. I know if I did that at the age, I would have a whooping waiting for me when I came home. Kissing a boy I wasn't supposed to meant I wouldn't see the light of day for maybe a year and sunlight would be so foreign.

I thought I saw something. Max and Taylor are cute together and I'm glad Max realized he needs to do something with his life. He's growing on me with every entry. I also hope Taylor comes to realize that Carter isn't all that and she has something to offer.

I mentioned it in the last entry, but even Elizabeth sees that her daughter is a younger version of herself. Loved how she played Carter. I do declare, it's nice to see how they try to up one another. But Taylor had to ruin it by telling Carter. Taylor why did you have to ruin it for me?

I thought I should follow Carter when she got into Crash's car, but it turns out I wasn't the only one following them. And I guess I shouldn't say Crash's car either. But I'm happy to know she called her father instead of one her friends, even though we all know what he's up to. I was tempted to help her out, but I didn't want to blow my cover.

I guess Linda didn't want to blow her cover either. Should I call the cops? Maybe, I'll let this one play out.

Luv ya,
          Diva

Finding Carter S1 E2

Dear Diary,

How much do you think Bird's sanctuary would cost? That place looked so nice. I want it. Anyway, so the family is giving therapy a go, which doesn't really work if the whole family isn't there. And it seems like Carter is sick of Elizabeth's antics when she brought over Max (Elizabeth may have not bugged your room, but I sure did). I actually feel really bad for Elizabeth, you can tell she's trying, but she's just going about it the wrong way. I agree with Max about the foam finger prank. It was just really sad to watch. I'm not sure if that's because of the situation or because any foam finger now reminds me of Miley Cyrus. She really did ruin the finger for everyone. Regardless, Max honestly gets my respect now.

At least she shows up for round 2 of therapy, which I don't think ended so well since I saw them storming out of the session. But like Miley Cyrus sings, "So la da di da di, we like to party, dancing with Molly," turns out to be exactly happens, except Miley forgot to sing about the seizing at the end. To the hospital, we go, well, they go. I just followed. There was a nice family moment shared and much needed.

I have come to notice that Carter is very much like Elizabeth than she realizes. They're both stubborn and they both can't come to realize what it's been like for the other. Like mother, like daughter.

While Carter was sleeping I decided to follow David and he's not the goody dad Carter claims him to be. Watch out Carter, you really don't know this man.

Luv ya,
