Saturday 4 Show: Shows from our Childhood

.....or a nostalgic trip that will leave us all in a fragile state!

Yes, because I may only be 24 but I have a lot to miss from the days I didn't do anything but watch TV and eat Oreos without worrying about gaining weight; days in which I could sit on my couch in weird positions without getting back aches and in which I could go to school with unmatching pants and shirt. 

I remember the afternoons I'd watch TV with my sister while we waited for our friends so we could go out and play in the street, ride our bikes and play Game Boys. Oh those were the good days!

From all the soap operas, cartoons and shows  watch those days, these are the 4 that come to the top of my mind:

1. Dawson's Creek

I remember little from the plot of this series but I remember how much I loved Joey and Dawson together!
(Also, look at this video!!! It's soooo old but so cool!)


2. Baywatch

I feel like Baywatch was a part of everyone's life and that everyone has a different memory of this show. Since I was young and veryyyy innocent, I really vibrated with the drama in each episode even if the adults around me vibrated with something else (cough Pamela Anderson cough).

3. LOST

My friend described this show as "the show everyone started watching but no one finished" and it's so true! I remember watching this show on weekend's afternoon in RTP (our national tv station) instead of studying which was probably the reason I would catch an episode here and there. In truth, this list made me want to watch LOST and here I am, staring at 8 seasons and almost finishing the 1st one. 

4. Flashforward

Youtube claims this show is from 2010 but I refuse to believe it! It seems so much older!!!! This was one of my favorite series back in the back but unfortunetly, like many great shows, it was cancelled.

What about you guys? Have you watched any of these shows? Share it with me down below and get ready because next week we shall haveeee: 4 unknown shows everyone should know [because they are SO good].

Saturday 4 Show: Show I really REAAAAALLY want to watch

Hiii guys, remember this little challenge I created a few monthes ago? Yeah. Like a lot of things in life, I stopped doing it for lack of time or will or just...you know.

But Savannah reminded me of it!!!! So here I am, back with this one. I missed doing this because I love shows and since I am back to binge watching a lot of shows, I think it will be easier to do this challenge. Plus winter is around the corner, and we all know how cool it is towatch shows under the blankets.

This week, I bring you the 4 shows that I really, reaaaaaaally want to watch. I don't know why I haven't gotten to watch these babies, but I'm making a list so I will check the tasks and hopefully watch an epiode of each before the end of the year.

These are the 4 shows on my list:

1. Black Sails

(source)

Seriously, guys, I have been wanting to watch this show foreeeeeeeeeever. A lot of the people I follow on tumblr, reblog a lot of photosets and the actors are so pretty. I think this is about pirates???? or the sea????? or something like... Pirates of the Caribbean???? Maybe I'm wrong. But still, this is the #1 show I want to watch.

2. Stranger Things

This seems to be the show everyone is watching nowadays. Yeah.... everyone but me. I don't even know what it is about and I think it might be kind of Wayward Pines-ish??? Either ways, I really liked Wayward Pines and everyone is saying good things about Stranger Things so, it definitely goes on my list!

3. House of Cards

(source)

Okay so there was this boy at the office I worked at and we used to geek out about BBC Sherlock and one time he said "you NEED to watch House of Cards" and then I saw that everyone really likes that show and it sounds so good, so obviously....it goes on my list (even if I don't even work at that office anymore).

4. Night Manager

(source)

Does this even count as a tv show??? Miniseries?? I don't care. I just know that I want to watch this one sooooo bad because I really like Tom Hiddlestone. I can't even find a reason to not have watched it before because it's showing on tv for the 3rd time!!! I really need to get to it.

Okay, guys, share your shows you reaaaaaaally want to watch with me!
Next week we shall do: Shows from our childhood (aka those shows that were on tv when you were a kid [any age you want, as long as it's below, let's say, 18 y/o] that you remember fondly)

Saturday 4 Show: Shows I'm never EVER watching

*Taylor Swift voice* I am never ever ever watching these series...together??? Well, this isn't how the music how and Taylor is far more talented at making lyrics than I am (also...that is her job, so...) but you get my point.

Today, I am talking about TV Shows that I am never, ever, EVER going to watch. I just don't want to watch them, either because they sound yucky or boring or because I am annoyed by the amount of tumblr posts they have (because tumblr posts can also be counterproducive, even if I started watching series simply because of my pals at Tumblr).

I have no intentions of offending anyone who is a fan of these shows because this is MY opinion and it really isn't worth much (tho, I know that if someone bad mouthed BBC Sherlock I'd be enraged). So, come be enraged with me or alongside me on my comment box.

Here is my top 4 shows:

1. Once Upon a Time

 (source)

Just no. I actually thought of this topic this one time where my friend was like 'I'm watching OUAT' and I told her I was never ever going to watch it. This is a case of tumblr-itis, where so many OUAT related stuff have been shoved down my throat that it has me annoyed. I don't find the storyline appealing, I don't really like the main actress, I don't like magic, I don't like too much fantasy on a show. Honestly, I think it would be hard to place together more things I don't like in a show.

2. Chicago Fire

 (source)

One of my friends ADORES this show and like all of us do when we adore a show, she spent weeks telling me about it and how I should give it a go, so I did. I actually streamed the 1st episode of this show and watched the first...10 minutes?! And then I gave up. It's nothing about the storyline or the characters, it's the fire, really. I hate fire, I am scared of fire and I have been near too many fires in my short lifetime, so I am probably never going to watch this because the fire makes me panic.

3. The Originals

 (source)

I have been there and I did that for a few seasons of The Vampire Diaries and I am never, EVER going to watch something with vampires again. Like, ever. The only reason I actually watched TVD was Damon and Klaus, who I suppose is now on The Originals but enough is enough. I decidely don't like supernatural tv shows.

4. Doctor Who

(source)

Well, okay, this comes at 4th because there's a slight chance I will watch it someday. I like the idea of the show and I like the actors but the thing that throws me off is that there are so many seasons! I have been told I could start watching midway but could I really? I mean, do we know me? Would I really start watching midway through the show? Not likely. So the decision to not watch Doctor Who is just an attempt to preserve my social life because let's be honest....I would probably binge watch it in a week.

This is my top for the week, if you do this top link meeeee so I can see your choices :)
Next week I'll bring you....hmm... well, Shows that I REALLY REALLY want to watch! (That way we can have a nice balance here).

Saturday 4 Show: Best Mums Ever!

It's saturdayyyyy, it's the weekend! Wee-hoooo. Dance-Party!!! And this weekend we have a special dance-party in honour of our beloved mums. Thank you girls, for giving us life!

In my native language I can remember a lot of  songs or poems to quote in honour of this day, but english isn't my mother tongue so I will refrain from posting that kind of thing and make a fool of myself. If you do know a song or poem related to mother's day, leave it to me in the comments! That way, I can use it next year (wink wink).

Anyways, let's do this! Let's honour the mums that grace our tv shows, mums we would like to have or that are so so so so cool. My number 1 is a super-mom, my number 4 is also a super-mum so like... this top has no preferential order whatsoever (but Abby is my fav anyways):


1. Abby Griffin in The 100
 

 

(source)

 

Abby is a super-mum! Eventhough she is Clarke's mum, she is actually mother of all of us. Yes, even of us, viewers. When she understood that things were wacked up there in space, she wasted no time in trying to create a spaceshift that could bring her to Clarke and since she has been on earth she has done everything she could to help her daughter and her friends, the Deliquents....even if sometimes they speak crazy. Abby trusts, loves and supports everyone and she is my fav mum ever (even if right now she is doing questionable choices).


2. Catelyn Stark in Game of Thrones

(source)

Cat!!!! Who doesn't like this lady? She accepted Ned's bastard and took care of all of her children with love and fondness. She was an attentive mum who had a very sad final (as per usual in this show, anyways) that she didn't deserve in the slightest. I am sure that if she was still alive, her heart would be hurting a lot nowadays seeing all her children separated and in pickles. She's a mum who is no longer amongst us but who is still a hell of a mum!

3. Meredith Grey in Grey's Anatomy

 (source)

 

Meredith doesn't win the mum of the year award or anything, especially because her kids don't even show up that much and I'm 80% certain that she spends half her life at the hospital. But I like her and I think she is sweet and she has been able to be a good mum  even if she, herself, had the worst mum ever. And even after Derek died, she was able to stand strong for her kids instead of drowing herself in Tequila like she used to do in the first seasons.

4. Melissa McCall in Teen Wolf

(source)

Okay, so I haven't watched Teen Wolf in ageeeeeees but I loved (still love) Melissa! She is that kind of mum who is your friend and is always there for you. She is besties with her son and his best-friend and let's be real, she trust them a lot to believe every wacked thing that comes out of their mouth and help them! Melissa is simply this: fantastic!

These are my choices for the day! So if you do this, leave your blog's link on my comment box so I can check it out and see which mum's are your favs. Next week I'll bring you: Shows that I never ever ever plan on watching. Might be a cool post!

Saturday 4 Show: Couples who make me eww

It's Saturdayyyyy, it's the weekenddddd, it's TV Shows list dayyyyy! Weeeeee.

Today, I bring you the top4 couples who make me EWWWW. We all have those couples that we simply hate to see on screen and who make us wonder why the heck did anyone think they were a good idea? They bring nothing new to the series, they don't even look good together and just....why?!

I thought of this topic because of some stuff I bumped into on tumblr, even from series that I no longer watch (but of course then I had to check them out again just to see if this was true or not). This is an offence to love, I tell you. These couples...oh, no....these couples.
But let's find out, who my top4 are!


1. Spencer and Caleb from Pretty Little Liars

(source)

I gave up on Pretty Little Liars because the whole A drama was too much and it wasn't even gullible anymore, like I could honestly write a whole rant of PLL because this series that I loved so much turned BORING. Anyways, several years went by in my life and then I saw there were these new epis where the girls were grown up and I got curious so I checked the show out again and urghhhh. That's when I found this couple....this awful, awful couple: Spence and Caleb. That's right. What the heck?? I think it's weird because we went from 6 seasons where Toby+Spencer and Hannah+Caleb were a thing to.... Spencer+Caleb??? I just don't even like them together...even if, okay, they have some stuff in common but urghhh. It hurts my eyes.

2. Asher and Bonnie of How to Get Away with Murder

(source)

Asher and Bonnie are my two least favorites characters of HTGAWM. And I kind of like Asher now but when he dated the annoying, silly and not-interesting-at-all Bonnie, he lost all of my respect. I haaaaaaate Bonnie. I honestly do. Now, in the last few episodes of season 3 (?? I think), Asher begins dating somebody else and I didn't even see those two people together at first but then I kind of liked them and also, I like it the most because Bonnie is out of the equation. She was so mumsy to Asher and when they were together, they put me to sleep... still, with the rhythm of the series I suppose it was good to have a moment to catch my breath (and a wink).

3. Bellamy and Clarke in The 100

(source)

This is a impopular opinion, I know!!! And they are not even a couple as of yet but I don't even see it?? Fine, Bellamy mighttttt have feelings for Clarke but Clarke is in love with Lexa. And I'm fine with it, because I love Bellamy and I don't like Clarke. I may be one of the few people who dislikes Clarke but she is soooo annoying and she takes all these decisions by herself without consulting her "partner in crime" but whenever Bellamy messes up she comes and judges him? At least he didn't run away when things got hard, Clarke!!! And then she goes 'I need you, Bellamy'....oh please, give me a break. No, no, no.

4. Jo and Alex in Grey's Anatomy

(source)

Ahhhh, Jo just needs to chill. At first I really liked Jo because she understood Alex and they have the same background and they came from similar places in life but then they started dating and Jo became a pain in the ass. She is so whiny, she always thinks everyone is against her and she always manages to bring personal life into work-related situations. I don't know why the writers always find the worst girlfriends for Alex because he certainly doesn't deserve that and I haven't lost hope that Jo will get better and win my love and affection again but as of right now... I just can't figure her out. And I don't think Alex can figure her out. Maybe Jo needs to figure herself out, first.

And that's ittttt. That's my top4 of eww couples. If you do make your own top4, link me so i can check it out. Next weekkkkk, it's Mother's Day  in Portugal so I'm going to bring you Top4 Motherly Characters to spread the looooove.

Saturday 4 Show: My Favorite Villains

Okay so what if it's not Saturday anymore? It's still okay to do my top4 Saturday for show!!!

Truth is, yesterday I couldn't do it and I forgot to schedule it so here I am, with my top4 picks of my favorite villains. Mwuaha. This one is very exciting because there's really not an interesting show where the villain is meeh, right?

So, here are my top4 fav evil evil characters, where number 1 is my favorite villain of all (and soooo disgusting that I have to skip scenes where he is in) and my number 4 is just a villain that is mean but not that mean and could be corrupted to be good:

1. Jack Black in Outlander

(source)

So Jack Black is this commander of the Red-Coats (the british army during the 17-somethings) and he is the most DISGUSTING person ever. Seriously. He makes me tremble just for being on my screen. He is my favorite villain because he is just so evil but at the same time I can kind of understand where he is coming from....during the show (and more so, during the books) we can understand a bit of Jack Randall's past. Still, the things he does to Jamie makes me irk. There were scenes where I literally skipped and covered my face to not watch. He takes the number 1 spot because he is the most evil person eveeeeeer.

2. Ramsay Snow in Game of Thrones

(source)

Okay so I watch Game of Thrones even though I'm not one of those huge fans of the show who know all the theories and what everyone is up to. In fact, I had to google who Ramsay was because I didn't remember his name.... I do remember his character veeeeeery well because he irks me so much! He is that guy who I want to punch every time he shows up! Everything he does is AWFUL. Like... I am certain he never did something good in his life. I bet he came out of the womb already mean and spitting venom. Urgh. Hope someone kills him soon.

3. Malcom Merlyn in Arrow

(source)

Okay so Malcom is a proper jackass when he wants to be one but when he finds out he has a daughter (this is something that happens on season 3, I think, so I'm not going to reveal who she is), he kind of cares for her and tries to do his best and he even kind of mends his ways towards Oliver. So I am putting him on my list but he shows up at number 3, because I think that his daughter (if she wanted to) could corrupt him into coming back to the good side of the world.

4. Tyrell Wellick in Mr. Robot

(source)

 

Wowwww okay.... Tyrell. How does one even begin to discribe Tyrell? To be quite honest, I haven't exactly figured him out just yet but he is, for me, one of the villains of Mr.Robot but he comes in 4th because I think he is 'evil' just because his wife pushes him into things and because he is so ambitious that he can't tell right from wrong sometimes. I do think he feels really guilty sometimes so he is not a proper villain....he has a little heart somewhere inside of him (I am so excited to see what will become of him in season 2!!!)

Okay so this is my list! If you made your list of your top4 villains, leave me the link bellow!!! Next week I'mma bring love to my blog with a Top 4 of the most odd, weirdest and no-no couples, in other words "Couples who make me eww".

Saturday 4 Show: Female Characters I love

Besides loving to read, I looooooooove from the bottom of my heart to watch series! I am perfectly capable of binge watching a tv show in two days.... this because my self control is close to none whereas cliffhangers are concerned.

So, in an attempt to post more here and to talk about other things than books, i have decided to create Saturday 4 Show which is basically going to be a top4 related to tv series (which sometimes (a lot of times) are to blame for me not reading).

This top4 was created by me and I invite you all to participate and link me your blogs in the comments so I can check your tops!

This week it's "Female Characters I love", those characters that make me say "man, I wish I was like her when I grow up" so from my favorite of favorites (I reaaaaaaally want to be like her) to my least of favorites (I kind of want to be like her), I present you my top 4:

1. Lagerther from the "Vikings"

(source)

Lagertha is the reason I created this challenge because I was watching an episode of Vikings and I was thinking "I just love you so much". And it's true! For me Lagertha is sugar, spice and everything nice because she is independent and she knows what she wants and runs to get it. Nobody messes up with her! She is one of the most famous shieldmaidens and she kicked her husband's ass when he cheated on her (You go girl!!!!!). What I love the most is that she doesn't let feelings get in the way of what she needs to do and for me, there is this thing where she still likes her ex-husband but she can live perfectly without him. She suffers but at the same time she makes suffering her bitch.

Simply put, Lagertha to Queen of the World!

2. Claudine from "Versailles"

 (source)

Okay so you are probably done with me talking about my new favorite series "Versailles" but I can't help but adore it! Well, Claudine is a female doctor in Versailles and if you haven't watched the series but plan to do it, I warn you that in the next few lines there are some ******SPOILERS******....so, now that you've been warned: this characters is a 2nd in my list because I love her determination and how she stands up to discrimination against female doctors, and she goes as far as opposing her own father. I think it's quite "funny" (not really) how a man who knows medicine and anatomy is considered a doctor but a woman who knows medicine and anatomy is considered a witch. Our buddy Claudine, here, ends up saving the Queen in the first couple episodes and Louis XIV, who was clearly ahead of his time, elects Claudine to be the officially doctor of his court. You go girl, destroying steryotypes!

3. Claire from "Outlander"

(source)

 Are you sensing a certain pattern of historical series here? Well....yeah. Claire Frase is the main character in Outlander which is simply my favorite show of all times (and that I deeply reccomend!). She is a time travelled and she goes from 1945 to 17-something where she finds herself in the middle of a civil war and instead of whining and crying about it she uses her fantastic brain to find a way out. She is bold, strong, confident and brisk and she is so cool, the top of the top of the top that she ends up with the top lad in Scotland: Jamie Fraser. A lot of people would say Jamie is the main character but, for me, Claire is just point of the show (or well, obviously Jamie plays an important part) and she is the Queen of both 1945 and 17-something.

4. Raven from "The 100"

 (source)

So, I used to love this show and then not as much but one of the reasons why I keep watching this show is Raven! She is an engineer and she isn't affraid to show her value and to be arrogant because she is just that good. At a point in the story, her leg gets aparalyzed but she doesn't let that fact stop her from doing what she wants to do, with more or less difficult, with more or less pain, she just kicks ass. Raven appears in this list because she can always overcome a problem and she is a cupcake so she deserves the best success in this unfortunate show!


And that is that! These are my top4 ladies. Next week I bring you:..... my top4 villains! mwuahah
