Jigoku Shoujo - We will take revenge on your behalf!

Somewhere in the vast sea of the Internet, there's a website that can only be accessed at the stroke of midnight. Known as the Jigoku Tsushin, rumor has it that if you post a grudge there, the Jigoku Shoujo will appear and drag whoever torments you into the inferno. Very little is known about the girl - all we know for sure is that she lives with her equally enigmatic grandmother, that three magical straw dolls accompany and serve her, and that whenever a posting on the Jigoku Tsushin moves her, she becomes the Jigoku Shoujo.

Piper Halliwell the Best Charmed One!

I know she ain't no Alyssa Milano, but honestly, Holly Marie Combs is the Best Charmed One!

Charmed is only good right up until Season 4. Half of Season 5 and above all sucks.

Gilmore Girls Season 6 - Aftermath of Season 5.

Season 6 of Gilmore Girls is really heating up the series. At the end of Season 5 saw Rory moving into her grandparent's house in which Lolerai found out to her bleeding heart and was left wondering why Rory had betrayed her by not going to her and instead going to her grandparents. Then she also was haul up in court for trying to steal a yacht with her boyfriend Logan. Add all that up and you find mother and daughter not talking to each other.

And also, at the end of Season 5, Lolerai proposed to Luke. Luke without hesitating said yes in the Season 6 premiere while Lolerai wasn't so sure it was the right thing to do.

So, in Season 6 so far, Rory was haul up to court and was slapped with a 300 hour community service. Rory looks lost and doesn't know what to do after she was "Crushed" by her boyfriend's father saying that she doesn't have what it takes to be a journalist. So, she dropped out of Yale and her grandmother Emily finds her a job at the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution).

While over at Stars Hollow, Luke moved into Lolerai's house. And Lolerai got herself a dog. This is what I don't really understand, if she already got Luke, why she needs a dog? One reason I figure out is that she isn't really serious in wanting to marry Luke yet. Maybe later in the future, but certainly not sooner.

Luke on the other hand is trying very hard to follow Lolerai's each and every move. What he dislikes, he still has to do it. Talk about the power of love. Luke is indeed dedicated!

Meanwhile, over at the Dark Side(always wanted to say that), Rory is trying to avoid pondering about her future. In fact, she just want to avoid the whole thing for the rest of her life from what she is doing.

So, as this season progress, the question that I want to know is that, will Rory turned into Darth Rory or will she be save by Luke Skywalker and Lo(Leia)rai?

Note : I mispell Lolerai's name on purpose. Don't ask me why.

Ghost Whisperer - A Series Gone Horribly Wrong

It really was a refreshing change when Ghost Whisperer came about into the US TV series scene. I was excited. Not because Jennifer Lowe Hewitt was in it. Don't really care, unless it is Nicole Kidman (Best darn actress there is). Not because it is about Ghosts. But because of the storyline. Yup, it was different. Or so I thought it was different. I was not only DEAD wrong. I was MISLEAD into thinking this could be the series that didn't have "Scriptwriting 101". Oh boy, was I fooled!

Maybe the first few episode was really a refreshing change, but after that I would say it is a series gone horribly wrong.
First, the storyline is leading to a "Nemesis will appear". Secondly, not only one nemesis, but TWO nemesis. It is not that having a nemesis isn't a bad idea at all. I don't dispute that having a nemesis will make the series more exciting. However, from my point of view, in this type of series. Having a nemesis is a very very bad idea.

Ratings aside, I don't really care if having a nemesis will "skyrocket" ratings. It is not about the ratings. It is about storylines and about more original type of storylines.

What the Ghost Whisperer storyline is heading, I don't really like it. Yes, the emotional part of the storyline is really good, but what the story arc is heading, it is like a head on collision with a 10-ton truck or a concrete wall.
I don't see the need for a nemesis in Ghost Whisperer. There is more ways to make a storyline "orginal" than just adding a nemesis or two.

Paradise Kiss

Yukari is a typical high-school student who listens to her parents and attends school everyday. As she starts to question her way of life, she encounters a group of fashion design students who has a clothing label known as "Paradise Kiss". The group needs to find a model to showcase their designs in an up-coming fashion show and decides to pick Yukari instead. Initially, Yukari was reluctant to be associated with this seemingly eccentric group, but eventually, she realises that they are really nice people. Furthermore, their passion and enthusiasm to follow their ideals and dreams make Yukari realise that she has not been enjoying her life and this motivated her to pursue her own dreams.
