I have been watching Charmed for many years now and have enjoyed almost every episode. Of course, some episodes were better than others, but Charmed always had this magic (literally) that would just make me enjoy every second.

I thought that the series finale, "Forever Charmed", really did a good job at wrapping up all the lingering storylines and bringing the Halliwells together as a family. I loved seeing Paige and Phoebe alive again, as well as the whole enitre family! The time-travel was a little confusing but was definately worth it to be able to see all the Halliwell generations together. I was especially happy to see Chris again. Though it did bother me that Leo and the others weren't more happy to see him alive. I thought they would have a bigger reaction. Seeing Patty, Penny, and Victor all together was great. They're all so funny! I never realized how much I missed all of them. Unfortunately there was no Prue in the finale, but we all expected that.

I thought that the montage at the end with all the photos of the family members was perfect and the ending with all the mini-Halliwells was so adorable.

Overall, this episode was better than I expected, besides it being a little too rushed, and I am glad that the series finale brought out all the things I have loved about Charmed for the last eight years.

Goodbye Piper, Paige, and Phoebe. We shall miss you!

First, I will start by saying that I do not typically cry while watching a television show. I do believe that I have only cried during a show two or three times in my lifetime. With that being said, I will admit that I shed a tear or two during this episode of One Tree Hill (I shall reveal at which part I cried later in the review). This show was absolutely wonderful and powerful and better than I expected. I know that some people wanted more action or thought that the dialogue between the hostages was too boring, but I completely disagree. I thought it was very well-done. As with my other reviews I will break my review up into the different parts of the episode:

*Peyton & Lucas: Now, this wasn't my favorite part of the episode. That is probably because I do not necessarily like Peyton's character that much. However, I thought it was great to have other people hiding away in the school, besides the main hostages. I also liked to see that Peyton was shot (and no, it's not because I don't like her character). I liked it because it brought some realism to the episode and allowed us to see that people will have to suffer the consequences from this school shooting. I must admit that I didn't listen real carefully to the dialogue, but I did see the kiss and I liked it. I thought it was very fitting for the situation.

*Brooke: I really liked this part of the episode. I have always loved Brooke's character and I was always a fan of Sophia Bush's acting skills. I think that seeing Brooke realize how horrible she had acted toward the so called "nerds" at her school and how, by being mean, could really hurt them and effect them. I think that at that moment when Glenda's mother told her that her daughter had named Brooke as a friend, when Brooke didn't even know who she was, really opened her eyes. I think that Brooke realized that she was somewhat to blame for Jimmy's anger and for the anger of kids like him and I think that she felt somewhat responsible. The scene where she goes outside and cries is so sad and sweet.

*Jimmy & the Hostages: This was the pivotal part of the story for me. I thought that the actor who played Jimmy Edwards (Colin Fickles is his name I think) really did an OUTSTANDING job in this role. He was the best actor on the episode and blew everyone else away. Many people really felt bad for Jimmy, rather than angry at him, because you could see that through his anger and confusion, he really did have a big heart. I loved how Nathan went in to save Haley and I really loved the scene with Mouth and Nathan. I couldn’t imagine walking out of the AVI room and seeing the hallway completely deserted. That would be so scary! Anyway, when I found out that someone was going to die, I immediately thought that it would be Mouth. He is actually my favorite color, so I wasn’t really happy when he was one of the hostages. I thought that Lee Norris, as well as the rest of the hostages, did a great job. I thought that all the dialogue between the hostages was needed and I thought it really showed the audience how much High School hardships can really scar us for the rest of our lives. It was during Mouth’s speech that I cried. “You’re supposed to get past it.” It was so heartfelt and so true. I loved how Jimmy let the hostage named Abby, leave because of her diabetes and it once again showed that he could be a good person.

*The Deaths: Yes, Keith is dead. We all expected Jimmy to commit suicide, so it wasn’t as upsetting as Keith’s abrupt end. The fact that Dan committed his older brother’s murder really shows how much of a monster he really is. There really isn’t much to say about this.

Therefore, I give this episode a 10/10. It was perfect.

ODDS N’ ENDS:

*I know that this may sound a little shallow, but I really loved Brooke’s outfit in this episode.

*The actors did very well in this episode. I don’t think that ONE performance was off.

*Thanks to all the people who made this episode. You all did a great job!

Scarecrow

This is my review for the Supernatural episode "Scarecrow". I must say that I really enjoyed this episode. I mostly liked Dean's part of the story, so I will first start by reviewing his portion of the episode.

*Dean and the Scarecrow~ My favorite character on Supernatural has to be Dean. The more of him I see the better I feel. I loved seeing him save that couple in this episode and thought it was really brave of him. I thought that this storyline was very cool as well. The whole concept of a town who sacrifices people to keep everything within the town prosperous seems very creepy. Just imagine if your town was always happy and in full bloom, with nothing ever wrong and you find out it is because that couple your uncle served apple pie to a year ago was sacrificed to an evil acrecrow. How would you feel? Though I am personally charmed by Dean, it seems that he does need the help of his slightly more approachable brother to get his point across to people. I also loved Dean's reactions to everything going on around him.

*Sam and scary mysterious girl~ Though I prefer Dean to Sam, I do think that Sam was more important to the overall storyline of the show in this episode. His wanting to go help his father instead of taking his father's orders really showed the difference between the 2 brothers. I do, however, think that Sam doesn't quite understand the real reasons that Dean does what his father tells him. I believe something mysterious is going on there. Also, with the woman Sam met on the road. She turned all evil at the end and one thing I thought was strange was how she spoke to her father. She said "Yes father", just like Dean had said "Yes father" at the beginning of the episode on the cell phone. I think there is a connection there.

Overall I thought this was a really good episode. I'd give it a 9/10. There's always room for improvement.

*ODDS 'N ENDS:

-Was anyone else screaming at theTV when Dean took the letter and actually walked up to examine the scarecrow? I was like "Are you stupid?! After all you've seen, you're gonna actually go near the thing and it's big pointy hook it has in it's hands? Stupid boy."

-I just realized that I saw that girl Sam was with on a Lifetime Movie.

- I will never eat apple pie in some strange place every again.

-I loved the whole last dialogue between Dean and Sam at the end. Priceless.

I will begin my review by saying that I own the season seven DVD's and will admit that this is probably the one I have watched the most (besides Lies My Parents Told Me). I love this episode mainly for the Buffy/Spike stuff but also because it made me laugh, cry, and scream. You gotta love it when a show causes so many emotions at once. I will review the episode by breaking it up into separate storylines.

*Willow and Giles~ I love watching these two together. It wasn't the most exciting part of the episode but I do think that Willow and Giles (Allyson Hannigan and Anthony Stewart Head) have great chemistry on screen and they are always a pleasure to watch. Plus, I really wanted Willow to come home!

*Nancy, Xander, & Anya~ Aww, PUPPY! I was so sad when the big worm monster ate the dog. I definately think it was the worst moment of the episode. Anyway, I liked this storyline, just not the Xander/Nancy scenes. They had NO chemistry and just acted so funny around each other. It wasn't even sexual tension funny, it was just weird. I thought the whole idea of Anya conjuring up demons again was very good and I loved seeing Anya's true face in this episode when she was fighting with Spike. Wonderful.

*Buffy & Spike~ This was efinately my favorite part of the episode. While everyone else around Spike acted as if he was evil and ready to pounce, Buffy trusted him enough to go out on a mission alone with him. You could still sense the tension between them and the love/lust they once had for each other was still there, not completely, but it was still there. I also loved when Spike vamped out in the Bronze and him and Buffy were fighting. They both had so much built up anger and Spike was still somewhat crazy from his whole "soul-getting" ordeal. It was actually kind of scary to watch him flip out and go all mental when he stabbed Nancy's ex-boyfriend in the end and to see Buffy's reaction was also really interesting. She looked concerned as well as confused and I loved how she followed him to the church. I thought the church scene was beautifully shot and I give props to both Sarah Michelle Gellar and James Marsters for their performances in this scene. Buffy's face at the end when Spike draped himself over the cross was priceless. In her eyes, you could see that she knew how much Spike had sacrificed to please her and it was killing her inside.

It was a wonderful episode and definately one of my favorites so I'll give it a 9.6/10

ODDS N' ENDS:

*In the scene in the Bronze, where the main characters reveal all their past relationships with each other, when Nancy asks them "Is there anyone here who hasn't slept together?" I tought that it was hilarious when Spike and Xander look at each other and then step back a little. Their faces were priceless!

*I think that the blue shirt Spike was wearing was the brightest attire I have ever seen him in. I kind of liked it.

*That poor puppy!

I know everybody has been reviewing this episode and saying "I didn't really like it" or "It wasn't as good as 'Home Run'", but I actually thought this episode was better than "Home Run" and definately better than the season premiere. I really liked each one of the storylines, except Sandy's, but i'll get into that later. Let's start with Annie and Eric.

*Annie & Eric~ They were so good in this episode. I was glad to see more of Annie and i really liked how she handled the whole "Sexy" Ruthie situation and how she calmed Eric down. As for Eric, I think it's cute how he just can't seem to let his baby girl grow up. It's so adorable. And I loved his little car speech and his facial expressions were priceless!

*Simon, Rose, & Sandy~ I don't like Rose and I don't like Sandy. Actually, I don't particularly care for Simon either. But for some reason I liked the whole Simon and Rose storyline. I think she is just so obnoxious! Ah! Sandy is way worse though and I can't believe she would drive up to see Martin when Simon told her how it feels to recieve that kind of news and that it takes some time to settle in. I understand Sandy's dillema, but I just don't like her.

*Martin & Meredith~ I like Martin. I kinda like Meredith. I don't like them together. Why? No, it's not just because i'm an avid Martin/Ruthie (Ruthin) shipper, it's because they just don't strike me as a couple. They seem too shy and too weird together. Also, if I were Meredith, I don't know how i'd feel about having our first date at a church social, but, hey, whatever floats your boat.

*Martin & Ruthie~ Okay, I liked the Martin/Ruthie moments in tonights episodes. They still seem to be hinting at the sexual tension between them, even though it seems a lost cause at the moment, but it's still there. I don't know if the writers are going to pursue this relationship but if they are I wish they would just hurry up and do it already instead of Martin acting all jealous and worrying if Ruthie has a boyfriend and Ruthie called Martin "sexy". Anyway, Martin didn't do a very good at finding Ruthie a blind date. Obviously his heart wasn't in it.

*Ruthie~ Her dancing was definately...I wouldn't say "horrible" but not very...chaste. Enough said on the dancing. I loved the dialogue between Ruthie and those three guys in the hallway and then Martin looking all worried that she's talking to other guys. Classic.

*Lucy & Kevin~ I liked Lucy's idea of a church social! Bravo! Kevin and the "Mommy & Me" class was so cute! I loved watching it! I hope we see more.

So I give this episode a 9.3/10.

ODDS 'N ENDS:

*I think Haylie Duff is doing a halfway decent job at acting. She's just as good or even better than Sarah Thompson.

*I liked Ruthie's hair. It looked pretty.

*I loved Annie's face when she saw Ruthie dancing. Priceless!

*Rock on Eric!
