Alright, anyone who has been to the So You Think You Can Dance boards this season knows that I write pretty damn loooong reviews. Not this time. Why? 'Cause I ain't writing them live while the shows are airing! lol All the reviews that I wrote for SYTYCD I wrote while the shows were airing. So, I can't write details here since I don't remember all of them. In that case, here are some short reviews and thoughts about the premieres I watched this week (4 shows). Note: I loved/liked ALL of them.
------------------------
Gossip Girl S2 Premiere
First, I wanna talk about Chuck&Blair. They're a couple that I just got into.... after this season's premiere. Because, at first, I didn't think that Chuck really cared about Blair enough to have a real, long-term relationship, i.e. him ditching her over the summer. It was a fun couple, I liked them last season and all, but I didn't think they were very serious. That all changed after I saw the look on Chuck's face after Blair told (lied to) him about loving James. He looked like he really was hurt. My opinion on Chuck completely changed after that; I've never seen him look that way before. It made me sad. :( I got mad when he couldn't tell her that he loved her, but it's understandable. Sometimes it's hard for people, esp. people like Chuck, to really let their feelings out and open up about loving somebody. But, I'll be happy when he does tell her. :)
Also, I want my favorite couple (Dan&Serena) back together! I couldn't tell if they were back together or not by that ending. Someone tell me, please?
And not too crazy about Nate and the cougar. That'll end soon, I hope. I don't care about that storyline at all.
I was actually surprised that James was Lord Marcus. I wasn't expecting it to be him. I kinda laughed when he suddenly put on that accent. :lol:
Overall, I thought this was a really great start to the season. I hope for A LOT of good stuff to come!
4.5/5

One Tree Hill S6 Premiere
Drama! As always. I LOVED this episode. First off, LEYTON!!!!!! I knew that Lucas was gonna pick Peyton 'cause I saw some pics from the first episode before it aired, and it had a lot of Lucas&Peyton interaction. So YAY! It was all so romantic, and I couldn't help but smile at them every time they came on screen. :D All I gotta say is Mark better not screw this up!! That is a given, because Lucas and Peyton have been through a lot throughout the years; now, they're FINALLY happy and wanna get married. So, if Mark is just itching to bring more drama to Leyton, have it months and months and months after they're married. PLEASE!!!!
Did NOT like the complete lack of Naley. That was a let-down. :(
I'm not really into the storyline with Nanny Carrie (:evil: ) kidnapping Dan and torturing him and all that. On the OTH boards here, apparently I'm not the only one. Carrie should've stayed gone, I can't stand her!!!! I hate Dan, but I LOVE to hate him, he's the love-to-hate kinda character, as I've said. But, I just plain HATE Carrie and get obnoxiously annoyed with her. The only thing that was really good about their scenes was Paul Johansson's acting. He's awesome! But yeah, didn't bring down the episode at all, though. It wasn't completely terrible. I just hope she doesn't try to kidnap Jamie again, I hated that; she should be in a mental institution. Hopefully after all this, she will be and outta our hair.
And lastly: Brooke. Whoa. I knew she was going to get robbed, but I didn't know she was gonna get beat up! That was hard to watch. That just shouldn't happen to Brooke (Well, it shouldn't happen to any of the characters, but you know what I mean). I don't know, that might really change her. She's always so bubbly and easily gets excited and stuff. How will she be now after this? Looking at next week's promo, she looks horrible and just.... wow. Can't wait to see how it'll all go.
GREAT premiere! There were better, but I don't care.
4.9/5 (Not EXACTLY perfect, but very close)

90210 2-hr Series Premiere
I LOVED the original (as you can tell by my name), and I didn't expect this spin-off to be good. It was actually better than I thought it would be. :) I like the series premiere of the original just a little better, but I'm not gonna compare anything between the two 'cause that will ruin this show. Of course, my favorite parts were Kelly and Brenda's scenes! I was surprised to see Shannen Doherty in the premiere; I actually thought she was gonna be in next week's episode. Oh well! lol And I was really happy to see Kelly here; Jennie Garth looks pretty good after all this time, along with Shannen. I loved the mention of Brandon, Kelly having a 4-yr-old son, Erin, Nat, everything that tied in with the original.
Now onto the newbies. My 3 favorite characters so far are Dixon, Navid, and (Erin) Silver. They are some pretty cool characters, esp. Navid. I'm kinda indifferent to Annie, although she's in the couple I'm already rooting for (I'll get to that in a second). Not liking Naomi, but I didn't like Kelly until it got to S5, but right now, I just don't like her. And the actress who plays her, AnnaLynne McCord, isn't that good, IMO. I kinda realized that in the scene where Annie offers to give her ideas for her paper. Ethan, I like. He's pretty cool. I like the parents. My parents can learn a thing or two from them! lol Adrianna is my least favorite character. I hate druggies if they really don't want to stop and steal from their friends just to get more drugs and don't realize they have a problem. :roll: She's pretty pathetic.
The couple I'm already rooting for is Annie&Ethan. They seem like they would be a great couple, IMO. As long as Ethan doesn't cheat on Annie like he did to Naomi. I don't see Annie&Ty lasting for long, hopefully.
The first hour was a lot better than the second. But, for a series premiere, I really enjoyed it. Will be watching next week. :)
4/5

Bones S4 Premiere
I knew that it was going to be a great episode from the beginning! Booth sleeping while Brennan was talking and them being in England and stuff. Love those British accents! :lol: Booth and Hodgins were hilarious in this episode. Examples: Hodgins; "British slime. Much more proper than America's" (or something like that), Booth; "I hate England!!" and doesn't he say he loves England later? lol And this one was CLASSIC!!: Booth; "Booth. Seeley Booth." That sounds really funny when you say it out loud. There are a lot more, but let's get back to the episode.
So Angela and Hodgins brought the wedding back on, and then broke it off all in one day? BOO!!! When will they ever get married? This is making me really frustrated, 'cause they love each other; and they've known and worked with each other for years, why wouldn't they trust each other? Hopefully, this is all just a little more drama to squeeze in before they actually do get married. Cross your fingers that it'll happen by the end of the season. *crosses fingers.... OH and toes!....... and eyeballs! no wait, never mind*
As always, I couldn't wait for Cam to get off the screen. She just grates my nerves.
And that Wexler guy who always flirted with Brennan, uh..... THAT SHOULD BE BOOTH!!!!!!!!! Hello!! Don't just cross your fingers and toes and hopefully not your eyeballs for Angela&Hodgins, do it for Booth&Brennan, too! :D 'Bout time they hit the sack...... :| or just get together.
And, of course, I loved watching them work the cases and figure out who murdered Wexler and Porsche(sp?). It's always fun seeing them figure things out and find out who killed the victim/s, as I usually have no clue on anything here. lol Bones usually has some nice twists.
And, I don't know, I just had this feeling the whole 2 hours like there was something missing. What was it?...... Oh, I know: ZACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring him back!
Anyways, pretty good start. For some reason, I felt that they could've done a better job starting the season, but I know the rest of the season will be really great (even without Zacky :cry: ), so I won't feel that any longer, I hope.
4.4/5
------------------------
So, here they are in order of the overall best (determined by my rating):
1. One Tree Hill
2. Gossip Girl
3. Bones
4. 90210
I thought all of them were very good. Great week! None of them got a 5, but none of them got below 4, so that's good.
Next shows to premiere that I'll review on: Supernatural and Smallville.
Can't wait for those premieres and next week's eps for the ones that have already started!!! :D
...... So, what's my definition of "short"? :lol:
