Austin and Ally- Finale Review

Hello everybody!!

Well that's it. It's all over!! Austin and Ally has come to an end after four amazing years!! This ending is very sad for me. Not only is it the end of this amazing show, it is also the end of my Disney era. I am still watching Girl Meets World, but that is from a different era for this channel. It is not one I started in my childhood.

So here are my thoughts for the finale (SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!):

The first half: This was really good, but none of it really hit me in the feels. Seeing the four fight was pretty sad, but I knew they would reconcile by the end of the hour. I was extremely happy to see Raini get a song though!! The end of the episode with the proposal felt a little forced for me, but I was still happy to see an Auslly proposal :)

The second half: This half was where the finale shined. After we find out that the proposal was not true, just editing done by Dez years after the first half to make up for the sad fact the two broke up years earlier. The fact that Auslly had broken up the first thing that really hit me in the finale. This was actually very realistic given the time jump, but was still hard for me to hear. Now personally, I loved the path the writers chose with the four year time jump. I appreciated getting to see the group still being friends for the most part after 4 years.
Seeing Auslly return to the Hellen show was the next thing that hit me. After four years, the show went back to where it started. This made me so happy. Seeing the gang go back here, I just loved it. On the show, the tension between Auslly is real. However, then they talk and decide to sing a song Ally had written for Austin called two in a million. This song was fabulous, and may have been my favorite song of the series!! Once the two sing, they admit the love they still have for each other and agree to get back together and join as an official singing duo. About time.
Finally, in the final moments, the viewers are treated to a ten year flash forward. This scene was the best for me. Knowing Auslly got married, but not having it be rushed in the end was a very smart decision on the writers' part. Also, Dez and Carrie together was wonderful! All the jokes about Dez and Trish's children made me very happy.
And finally, we see Auslly returning to the practice room. The room from their teen years where they spent all of their time. We see the two returning to the piano where they used to write all of their songs. Ally asks Austin if he "remembers this one?" and begins to play the theme of the show. This got me the hardest. Hearing this slow version of the theme of the show was so sad.

I will always love this show and the romance and friendships on it. I have really enjoyed the four years I have watched it. I love you, Austin and Ally!!

Austin and Ally- Best Episodes!!

Hello,

It is with a sad heart that I write this post. Tonight, Austin and Ally comes to a close :( I have really enjoyed watching this show for the past four years. Tonight also marks the end of an era. After tonight, all of the shows on Disney, except for Girl Meets World, I will not be watching. The time has unfortunately come for me to basically quit watching this channel, which I have been watching since I was 5 or 6. Thank God for Girl Meets World, because I am not quite ready to say goodbye to Disney Channel.

Anyways, my favorite episodes:

"Costumes & Courage"- The premiere of season 2, this episode is a favorite because it was the first time we got to see Ally preform.

"Austin & Jessie & Ally All Star New Year"- This episode was great because we finally got to see Austin achieve his dream of preforming in New York on New Year's Eve. 

Chapters & Choices/Partners & Parachutes- Ally's career is growing, and Austin and Ally sing and kiss, what's not to love??

Couples & Careers- This one saw Austin and Ally's first date!! Although they broke up at the end, it was great to see the beginnings of this relationship.

Moon Week & Mentors- Love this episode because it reminds me so much of The Voice. Plus, Sabrina Carpenter plays adorable Suzy Gluckman:P 

Fresh Starts & Farewells- The season 2 finale shows how far the gang has come in the past year! Ally has a record deal and Austin's going on tour! This episode is memorable though because of it's ending, when Austin gives Ally a card, though we do not know what is inside... The romance is still strong ya'll!!

Road Trips & Reunions- The season 3 premiere, we finally find out what was in the card, a plane ticket for Ally to go see Austin on tour (awww)! Ally goes to see Austin and decides to stay because she misses him so much. 

Glee Clubs & Glory- This episode is really only great because of the awesome mash-up at the end. 

Proms & Promises/Proms & Promises- In this amazing prom episode, the sexual tension is high between Auslly. Thankfully, the get back together at the end. 

Beauties & Bullies- This episode is very important to me because it teaches kids not to bully. As someone who was bullied a lot in elementary school, I hope the lesson was learned. 

Relationships & Red Carpets- We see how strong the Auslly relationship is:P Austin gives up his record label and the rights to his songs to publicize his relationship with Ally!!

Now, in all honesty, I have not seen all of season 4. I did not like the direction it went, and the episodes I did see did not intrigue me enough...

O.K. ya'll. Those were my favorite episodes. I'll see you tomorrow with a finale review!! 

Until later, Fanboys and Fangirls, BroadcastBooks

30 Rock- Initial Thoughts



Hello!!

So sorry it's been a while since I've posted! I've been getting back into school after Christmas break, starting something really exciting that I will not be sharing just yet, and also, BINGE WATCHING!!! So today I just wanna give ya'll some of my initial reactions for the first four episodes of a show I just started- 30 Rock!


So 30 Rock is a comedy written by Tina Fey, who also stars. The comedy is about of group of comedy writers for a show called The Girly Show. At the start of the series, we see Tina's character get a new boss that comes in to shake up the show. This new boss assigns Tina's character to find a celebrity named Tracy to come and star on the show.

This show is really unique because it is an NBC show that shows the behind the scenes for an NBC show! Tina's character Liz is so funny and I love her!! Also, Tracy just cracks me up!! Really interested to see where the show goes from here, as I'm sure it will develop and become even more great!

O.K. well I hope to talk to y'all soon!! I am planning to write a numerous amount of posts this weekend, and set them up to publish every other day. We shall see how that goes :P Hope y'all are having a great 2016 so far!!
