Fresh Prince of Bel - Air: Just say Yo

Will is run down with work, school, and his girlfriend, and has trouble staying awake. He decides to take amphetamines to help him. Carlton asks will for Vitamin and Will accidentally gives him the drugs in his locker. Carlton ends up in the hospital as Will begins to feel guilty about what has happened.  A very hilarious first part to this episode that takes a dramatic turn in the second, thanks to a pimple and too many responsibilities.



Will learns a sobering lesson when he tries to juggle his job with his girlfriend along with school work. The trouble starts when a school friend offer him speed to stay awake which he keeps in his locker. During the prom, Carlton takes the drug pills from Will’s Locker, mistaking amphetamines for Vitamins and Winds up in hospital after some very embarrassing dancing. When he recovers, Carlton promises not to tell on will and will promises not to do it again and that he loves Carlton. But Will had guilt inside of him and confesses to Uncle Phil, who in return forces him to come clean to the rest of the family, where Will tearfully breaks down and vows never to do it again. A very moving ending scene involving the whole family that showed the extent of drug use.

Game of Thrones- The Laws of Gods and Men

Although this episode was a lot slower paced, it still provided with plenty of information that'll serve us a later date.
Yara greyjoy prepared her troops to rescue Theon greyjoy, only to realise that her brother is long lost and there is no hope of saving him.
But most of the episode was based on Tyrion's trial that takes place. A number of witnesses are called upon to prove Tyrion guilty. Jaime, in seeing that there is no hope of proving his brothers innocence strikes a deak with his father promising that if Tyrion is excused when found guilty and sent to the night watch, he will retire from the kings guard and leave for Casterly Rock to marry and carry out the Lannister  name there. However things take a turn for the worse when Shay is called upon as the next witness and the scorned woman confirms Tyrion's guilt by telling a lie that is only strengthened by the truth. She claims to have been there when Tyrion and Sansa discussed Geoffrey's death. Despite his love for Shay, Tyrion is angered and feels betrayed by Shay that he demands a trial by combat instead of the Biased trial he is being dealt.

Happy TV shows children.

Fresh Prince of Bel - Air: Bullets over Bel - Air





This had been another priceless episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Like other episodes portraying certain dark issues,"Bullets Over Bel-Air" is another one of those episodes that holds you by your arms and legs and screams attention. At an ATM, Will and Carlton get mugged and Will is tragically shot, leaving the family praying for Wills well being.
  This episode proves that a comedy show isn't always about humor. Sometimes a lot of heart and emotion are needed to further strengthen elements of the show and this episode defines the friendship and brotherly love between Will and Carlton. The episode further involved a great compelling scene, as Will discovers Carlton's carrying a gun and knowing he's about to do something very stupid, orders him to give him the gun with tears flowing from his eyes. Carlton hesitantly tosses the gun on his hospital bed and storms out without another word.

Fresh Prince of Bel - Air: The Unscripted Scene


This is said to be the most heart-wrenching episode ever of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. What had made the episode so special was the ending of the episode where Will Smith lashes out his emotions on his father, which was found out to be unscripted and Truly Will Smith's Story. This is one of the few Fresh Prince episodes that tries very few jokes. It uses more of an emotional build-up. Throughout the episode, Will spends lots of time with his father, who is being pulled away from Uncle Phil by Lou.


At the end of the scene will goes to leave with his father over the summer, However to find out his father yet again is ready to abandon him. What the episode really does though is prove Will Smith's ability as an actor. The final scene where Will firstly attempts to show Lou that he isn't bothered about Lou leaving is beautifully subtle, and then the emotions start to rise. When Will discusses how he 'doesn't need' his father, Smith builds up the tears, and perfectly holds them back until his final line. It's a great emotional scene for any sit-com, and the fans who are truly devoted to the show can only weep with Will. James Avery doesn't say much in this scene, Uncle Phil's input has been made in previous scenes. All Avery does is build up tears too, and look helplessly at Will, who only admits the frustrations and anger at his selfish father.

Arrow Season 1 vs Season 2

Now that we have come to the end of the second season of Arrow, I think it is a good time to compare it to the first season.

The first season had a lot of potential, however, it lacked good villains. I know what you guys are saying "Oh but they are setting the plot". True but the lack of good villains resulted in decent but not great story telling. In the second season, the villains are really good. We have Slade as Deathstroke, assassins from the league of Assassins and Clock King just to name a few. The addition of these villains raised the stakes of th eshow and put everyone's life at risk which is what the viewers want to see.



Another thing that the second season does better than its predecessor is character development. In this season, we see Laurel's downward spiral into a drunk and than rising up to her feet, a stronger person. Oliver also changes as he has to face tougher opponents as well as take care of his family and everyone he loves. He also has to overcome the fact that Slade is after him for events that occurred 5 years ago.

Another genius thing that season 2 of Arrow did was the introduction of the character Sara or Black Canaary. Sara has charm, character and is enjoyable on screen. This is surprising has in season 1, Arrow did not handle secondary characters that well. Another character that has improved a lot is Felicity. While just a computer geek in the first season, she acts as Oliver's moral compass in season 2. She helps Oliver stay on the right path and helps Oliver get through tough situations by stating that it isn't his fault.



All in all, season 2 of Arrow was a far superior show as compared to the first season with better characters, more development and finally better villains.
