"INMATE #230529" REVIEW First off, my brain is a bit fried right now so I'm sorry if this review isn't great, but I need to catch up. I'm so thankful Uni is almost finished, so I won't be so behind for the final few episodes of this sequence. But anyway, onto this episode. Totally fine! Just happy you enjoyed the episode, and I thank you so much for taking the time to review it I definitely try not to leave any strings unattached. I want to follow through with every consequence that happens on this show, so I'm glad you've enjoyed those aspects when they've popped up. I really wanted Paula to bring closure to herself, because she had such a big part in Jace's time on the show, and he had a large part in hers as well. I'd love to say that Judy resurfaces soon, but it's all about if the story calls for it haha. I didn't want Judy to just be lurking in the background unrealistically, because she does have a job and she does have a life that she needs to get back to. I love writing that relationship, and I wanted to make it where it was everything Paula wanted and needed to say, but that Judy just needed to help her spice it up up bit. As for Jace, I like to think that he's always been a little crazy, he was just able to hide it because Paula was that sort of constant that kept him calm, and when he though he lost her he just snapped. And then he tried to get her back, crazy as ever, and she had to put him in his place haha Yeah, I wanted to create a conflict that felt very realistic and stayed true to both characters. I mean, Robbie has always been an eager, ready to get out there character, and Rose has always been struggling to step into the business, so it just felt right between the two. Rose doesn't really think her actions through all of the way, she sort of just acts and says (much like with the storyline with Brian), and Robbie just wanted more money haha. I didn't want to have them have this huge conflict right off the bat, so I thought a little small bump in the road would do for now haha. I didn't really want to do a repeat of the scene from 4.10 between Rose and Alex, and I didn't really want such a massive scene between them after their one in the previous episode, so that's why I decided to include David, just like I don't want big scene with Mia/David and Kelsey/Alisha week after week. I don't want to throw all of my cards on the table for them episode after episode, if that makes sense. There have been a lot of Mia/David and Kelsey/Alisha because their storylines are codependent on one another, whereas Rose and Alex's are not. They've each got their own thing going, and I just didn't like the fact of forcing them together in every episode if it didn't feel right for me, personally. But yeah, that was my reasoning for including David, plus I wanted to explore that trio relationship after we saw a bit of it back in 4.14. That's totally fine! haha. I think, already, Kelsey has been such an influential part for Alisha and discovering her sexuality. All of your worries shall be addressed before the sequence is over, and that's all I really want to say about that haha Oops, sorry if it felt disjointed. I really like Tabbi and Yana. I think they bring a sense of gratification for Michael, because they're saying that he is good and that he is in their outlandish, wild way and I think that's important to him. You've already read the next episode, so I shall say no more haha! THANK YOU! Really glad you've been enjoying this sequence so much, and I hope you continue to enjoy the final few episodes!

"AWKO TACO" REVIEW Dude. This episode was sooo good, holy shit. I don't even know how to preface this interview other than to say it was perfect. YAAAAY! Alisha's biggest obstacle these past few episodes has definitely been fear. She's so scared, and she's so confused, and that's really challenging for her. I think, with Kelsey, she's just frustrated, and I think that's a natural reaction. I mean, Alisha has told her that she didn't want to pursue feelings, and Kelsey said she was fine with that, and then Alisha leans in for kisses, grabs hips, strokes hair, and then runs away - it's confusing for Kelsey too, you know? I think it's a really conflicting thing between the two of them. I feel like both ladies are in the wrong, personally. I wouldn't say that Alisha is being an inconvenience for Kelsey, because she's stuck with her. She agreed to strictly be friends even though she found her attractive. I don't know, it's all confusing! haha Yaay! haha, always happy when you enjoy Rose and Alex together. I think there's a really powerful scene between them in the next episode, so watch out for that. FINALLY! haha. I was conflicted about putting Mia's confession in this episode or leaving for another time, but I'm glad it ended up going in here. Mia has been hurt so many times, and her maliciousness has been a manifestation of that and has just made her such a closed off human being that it was a huge step to make that confession to David. Like I said above, watch out for next episode Dun dun duuuun! Yes, the police! It'll all be addressed in the next episode. And you're right - only THREE more episodes left! So glad you enjoyed this one. I love writing this one, probably one of my favorites out of the entire sequence. Hope the momentum keeps up for you in the next one, and I'll make sure to toss you in the Pit next Thursday right before the new episode!!

REVIEW: 4.12 - Never Have I EverI love that we're getting Alisha questioning her sexuality and doing research and really trying to understand this new thing she's discovering about herself. It's such a relatable storyline and the way you've put it together has been so realistic and respectful to anyone who's gone through the same or similar experience! I just love it. It's probably one of my favorite storylines of this sequence! Alex and Rose holding hands, talking about video games. Perfect ship is perfect! I've always really loved their relationship and even though it's gone to some new heights this sequence, they're still the same Rose and Alex I came to love three sequences ago. Which probably means one or both of them will get their heart broken pretty soon and I'm really not ready for that. But whatever happens, I'm sure it'll be well written and compelling, so I can't really complain much for something that hasn't and may not even happen. Still nervous though. I really tried to make this as organic as possible, so pulling from real life experiences really helped me, haha! Being respectful is always my number one priority. I'm so happy you're enjoying Alisha's storyline, and the Rolex relationship! They're definitely gonna be focused on a lot more in S5 I love David and his moms. So much! haha Michael and Paula are just as crazy as ever, and I'm always happy when I can get some laughs out of people! Paula has sort of taken a semi-back seat this sequence, but 4.16 and 4.20 are definitely going to change that! I'm glad I can hit you with some touching words, another one of my main priorities! haha I loooved writing this scene. It just all came together so well, and I'm glad it translated as such to everyone else too. And it's totally cool - SHIP BRULLIVAN ALL YOU WANT! David's money is going to be a slow burn storyline, so it will carry over into S5. Hahahaha! Mission accomplished! But no, I love Alisha and Kelsey together, and I loved writing this scene because I think playing never have I ever is such a relatable thing to everyone. Feel it in your bones! FEEL IT IN YOUR BOOONES! Thanks again for the review!!

Feel free to ignore these reviews. They're gonna be all over the place as I read most of these episodes weeks ago. haha! I just really wanted to give you some my thoughts. 4.13 "WTF"This episode seems to pick back up right where the last one left off. Alisha's still freaking out and confused over what just happened with Kelsey. I really hope she's able to figure things out. I've enjoyed the scenes between Rose and Robbie with them trying to fulfill their dreams together. I'm glad things seem to be coming together for them. Alex and David scenes have been some of my favorite, really, ever since season one. I hope they stay friends forever. They are the original Zawson. haha! I love that they can still be friends outside of their relationships with Alisha. I'm glad David or Alisha haven't forced Alex to pick sides between them, and it just goes to show how good friends he is with both of them. Rose and Robbie singing Arctic Monkeys. I must be in heaven. I can't wait to see where this leads for them! 4.14 "Monster Trial"Here we go! The episode we waited for! The 50th episode of Audition! Jordan and Angela's return! I was really excited about this episode. It seemed like it came just in time, as I had been thinking about what Angela and Jordan were up to soon before you announced they'd be coming back for this episode. And it sure did live up to the hype! I love that we got Alex and David prepping for the trial, then the parallel with Alisha and Rose. It's good to see them supporting each other in all this. Then Alisha gets a call from Angela. That surprised me. I like that even though they're nowhere close to friends, Alisha was willing and able to comfort her and calm her fears. It was nice to see and it made me want more. I'd love for them to become better friends some day. I loved the cute little bit of Rolex that we got. Alisha going to Kelsey for help. I loved that! Even though they still haven't discussed why Alisha disappeared, Kelsey was able to see that Alisha was going through something and needed her advice. I'm glad she was able to set everything aside and help her friend. And I'm really enjoying this relationship. I pray to god everything works out for them! Even if they don't get anything romantic started, I see all the makings of a really nice friendship here. Onto the actual trial, seeing Jordan again was crazy. It went better than I was expecting though. I thought it would get way more messy than that haha! Ending on Alex and Alisha was really nice. I really treasure those moments where they can just talk and reflect on everything that's happened. It was so good to read, and very fitting for such a milestone episode. And then, the tag at the end with Michael and Paula. That was just brilliant! HAHA! I love you for that. 4.15 "K-I-S-S-I-N-G"Can I just say, that David's daydream was not only probably one of my favorite moments in Audition history, but in VS history all together! HAHA! I love how much you can get away with doing in a show like this. It reminded me of something I'd see in Broad City, and ironically, we get the introduction of Tabbi and Yana in this episode. Welp, this double date wasn't half as awkward as I thought it was going to be when I first started reading. I like that David's just got a bunch of money so he's spending it on new comic books and taking his friends to fancy restaurants. I'm just in love with David Sullivan. Alex and Rose plan to "hang out." Aww sh*t, what's going on there? Michael meeting Tabbi and Yana! This is going to be such a wild ride. I'm already loving these two ladies. They're so crazy and high all the time. Really, could you have picked more perfect actresses for these roles? I love how Audition can turn from hilarious to serious in a moment's notice. I loved the conversation between Alisha and Paula. It's one of those things I didn't know I needed until it happened. More scenes between them! Pretty please! And you didn't stop with Paula feels. You just had to give me David feels right after. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Mia and David are such a good surprise this sequence. I never thought they'd even have a dynamic, let alone me enjoying it so much. They're so interesting together. And I love how this has progressed. And we get them kissing! I'm so here for it. Alex and Rose's scene was very meaningful and sweet. Very realistic and relatable for people at that young age and I just enjoyed every second of it. I liked how subtle everything was. It was just a really well put together love scene. Great episode, Brady! Really enjoyed this one! 4.16 "INMATE #230529"Judy's leaavvinngg?? *SOBS* It's been real. But I guess this day had to come sooner or later. I wish we'd gotten more Judy this sequence. Her relationship with Paula is definitely entertaining. And her attraction to Michael always brings a smile to my face. Love that they got to spend her last day there together. And she tells her that she's going to see Jace. I liked how Judy didn't really agree with that idea but still supported Paula's decision. Then we get a little lighter with Michael, Tabbi and Yana. Their mystery french fries were great. Whenever someone mentions fries in a script, I'll always think of you and your obsession with them haha! Can't wait to hear what this script Michael's writing for them is all about. I can only imagine it's something really surreal and ridiculous. One of my favorite lines of the episode was Tabbi's "Only if he's okay doing full frontal nudity!" haha! Oh gosh! Finally, we get another scene with Alisha and Kelsey. I love that Kelsey's willing to still be friends with Alisha. She's going through a pretty huge point in her life and I think she needs all the support she can get right now. So I'm happy they were able to make up like that. Rose and Robbie have a little spat after Robbie lost them their gig. I understand where Rose was coming from with her anger. It's only natural. And I know that Robbie obviously didn't mean for it to happen that way. So, I hope they can still find a way to work together and just get their heads straight and communicate more. And finally, Paula and Jace come face to face. It gave me bad chills how gross Jace was being! I was itching all over. lmao! But Paula stood her ground and told him what was up! Really enjoyed that and I hope she's got some closure and came finally move on and stop torturing herself over this. I'm gonna miss Judy! She's gotta come back though? Right? At some point. I have faith. 4.17 "Awko Taco"This was such a good episode. Holy shit. I love how well Alex and Alisha know each other. I mean, after all this time being best friends, it's to be expected, but I love when we're able to see it. Alisha mentioning 'Rolex'! haha Amazing. I've been loving all the scenes we've gotten so far between Michael, Tabbi and Yana. Now including Paula in all this, this can only get better from here. She seemed so giddy and amazed by the two of them. It was so cute. I want the four of them to form a team and have their own miniseries or something with just them haha! But seriously, really enjoyed this because we get a sneak peek at what Michael has been writing. And my god, it sounds wild. Rattlesnakes? Trips to Iceland? Kidney replacement surgeries? Only you could come up with this stuff. That ending though. Somehow the police are getting involved and I don't know why but things are about to be pretty interesting. This party scene was something else. I love the little interaction between Rose and Alex. Made me realize how much I love and appreciate Rose. You've done such a good job with her character. Of course David and Mia are there together. I don't know how I didn't see that coming but holy god! I can already tell shit's about to hit the fan. I loved how all the characters were kind of bouncing all over the place, talking to each other. Trying their hardest to avoid something awkward, but this episode is called Awko Taco, so we all know that's not gonna happen. Favorite line of the episode was Mia "Do you want some?" I was jut cracking up. I love Mia. Bless her. Mia and David! They're going to mess around and become one of my favorite relationships on the show. You've really set their dynamic up so well, and it's become such an interesting relationship to read. Mia almost calling David her boyfriend. Her admitting that she was jealous of Alisha not only because of her talent, but because of David. Mia's been such a standout for me this sequence. I'm really loving where this is going. Hope it doesn't all come tumbling down in the next episode, but it's always a possibility I have to consider and be ready for. Kelsey teaching Alisha how to dance. Oh my god. Gave me all kinds of Malira feels haha! Really enjoyed reading that even though it sort of ended with Alisha running off again. I just feel for both Alisha and Kelsey. Alisha's obviously got things she needs to work on and figure out, and I think Kelsey can help her with that. And Kelsey obviously has some feelings for Alisha that she keeps thinking might be reciprocated, but things end up getting so confusing and messy. They just need to sit down and have a really long talk about their feelings. I think Kelsey can really help her understand what she's going through, if Alisha's able to be honest with her. So, I hope we get something like that soon! Alisha and David's inevitable reunion. I knew it was coming. And I'm still not ready for it. This has been such a wild ride! I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out in these last three episodes of S4! Sorry for these really crappy reviews. I just needed to get SOMETHING out there because I love this show so much and wanted to show my support!

"Fallout" Review David and Alisha are finally reunited, and it couldn't have gone any better. I mean, it was hella awkward, and at times I was kind of like "oh god, just cut your losses, I don't think this will work," haha, but it was really nice. I think it worked really well to have them separated for so long. The momentum wasn't there to build up a big reunion, but it didn't have to be in this case because it made the reunion more surprising at the end of last week's episode, and it was nice coming into this one to see that while, yes, it was awkward, it was actually really sweet. I feel like David and Alisha have grown up so much since they started dating, and seeing them reunited felt like it really drove that point home, and really showed that while they'll always have a special place in each other's heart, they've kind of grown from the experience, and become a lot more mature. I'm glad David kind of set the tone, saying that they will never be a thing again, but he'll always love her and he hopes they can be friends or acquaintances at the very least. What they meant to each other, and what they had was really special for the time that they had it, and reuniting them now adds another layer to their history, and adds a new dynamic for them that I can't wait to see. Similarly, Kelsey and Alisha finally -- I think -- made things clear where they stand. Somewhere in the last one or two episodes, Kelsey has kind of dropped out of my radar of favourites. I said before that it felt like, to me, that she was thinking more about herself than what Alisha was going through, and wasn't trying to understand it. I think, maybe, it's just because I'm really protective of Alisha, and I think romance has complicated the dynamic these two characters grew to have. At first, it was stolen glances, and little things where you felt like, yes, Alisha is attracted to her, but they also had this really nice friendship too, and around the time where Alisha was ignoring her texts was when I started to feel like, "whoa, Kelsey needs to just back off a little." I think that's how I'm trying to understand why I got the vibes that I did, because Kelsey isn't a bad person or anything negative, really, so I think that's where I was coming from. In this episode, though, I was really glad that they decided to stay friends. Like I said, I think Kelsey has a lot to offer Alisha as a friend, and I think romance has complicated things a little bit. I would be more open to the idea of those two getting together in the future if Alisha was initiating it, and confident in that she wanted to be with her. But friendship is just as great, imo. Alisha needs that support. Speaking of support, Michael's panic attacks resurfaced in this episode, and Paula was there to help calm him. I genuinely thought they were about to kiss during this run-away. I don't know why, but I was like "oh my god it's going to happen." And it didn't. *cries* But no, this part of the episode felt more connected to 'Audition' than last week. I loved Tabbi and Yana in this one. This was honestly just a nice, comedic aspect to wedge between some pretty serious stuff, and I like that when things did turn serious and real for Michael, in realising that this path might not work out for him, he had Paula there to instantly tell him not to give up, and that things come with time. That was some good advice that could have also been used for Alex. I like that it was paralleled a little. And I really like how you had Rose console him. The thing that I do love about their relationship is the fact their goals and dreams and drive are different, and they have their own paths to walk that don't really crossover. It's just nice, because a lot of the time, it's the two "we are so similar" characters that get together, and if they don't have a similar path, then it causes conflict. I like that Alex and Rose seem to manage just fine. And, I think that was it, right? Nothing else happened? Nothing terrible, or rage-inducing? Like, you know, everyone was just chipper and happy and reunited and made up and became friends, and everything is awesome? Right? ...oh no, that's right. Things were going too good, weren't they Brady? TOO GOOD. Let's just, you know, take all the happiness, and run a car into it. Like, how dare you? My method right now is to just pretend it didn't happen. I don't want to lose Mia. I don't want anything bad to happen to Mia. I don't want anything bad to happen to Mia / David, and now I'm really worried so... ignoring it. Nup. Nope. Legit these were my notes I took down while reading the episode: "David says he'll always love Alisha, awkward scene, but nice. Mia sees David/Alisha. Paula calms Michael down from a panic attack -- I SWEAR THEY WERE GONNA KISS THO. Kelsey and Alisha agree to be friends (Hopefully it sticks). NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE"

Feel free to ignore these reviews. They're gonna be all over the place as I read most of these episodes weeks ago. haha! I just really wanted to give you some my thoughts. Oh my God, I could NEVER ignore these! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing Yeah, Alisha's going through a really tough, confusing time right now. Hopefully she figures it out soon haha! Rose and Robbie have a really interesting dynamic that's gonna be explored more in sequence 5 The original Zawson! haha, I love it! But yeah, I love Alex and David, so they're definitely going to stay friends for a while. And just had to through some Artic Monkeys in there, they're awesome! Yes! Haha, I remember you telling me about that, which sparked the announcement Yeah, I wanted to make that a little bit of a parallel, so I'm glad it came across to you. I think Alisha has just been going through so much that she needs to try and help someone, and Angela was the perfect choice haha. I wanted to tie it back to the conversation where Kelsey was telling Alisha how she went through her uncle's trial, and plus it was a way to get them to talk again. I think Kelsey is really understanding, but she's also confused too. So we'll just see how that plays out I looove Alex and Alisha's friendship! haha! I think, even if they're not together, their bond keeps resonating, and that's really going to come back into play in the sequence finale. hahaha!! Glad you enjoyed it Yeah, I really didn't want to the double date to be a big thing, so I didn't make it that awkward haha. I think David's really confused with all of this money, and it's going to be a lingering storyline through next sequence. Tabbi and Yana are just insane, and I've loved writing every minute of them. Alisha and Paula! I love putting the ladies together, so try and expect more of that soon! Mia and David even surprise me sometimes haha. I think they're dynamic is so interesting, and I can't wait to explore it more. I loved writing that scene, definitely one of my favorites. And I think that Rose and Alex moments was incredibly special and important to them, so I'm happy it's got such positive feedback Yeaaah, I didn't want to unrealistically keep Judy around if she wasn't needed for the story, but she's be back! I promise haha. French fries are amazing! haha At least two characters in every Brady Brown show must be obsessed with them. Always makes me happy when people come out of the episodes with favorite lines I think Kelsey genuinely likes Alisha as a person, and I think staying friends with her is something that she really wants. Rose and Robbie needed to start off with a small little quibble, so I thought something like that was true to Robbie's character and was a natural progression. The Paula and Jace reunion! lol I think it's very important that this happened, that Paula confronted him and got closure, and I think it's even more important that Judy was willing to help her with it haha YAAAY! Loved writing this episode. Bringing in Paula to the Michael/Tabbi/Yana storyline just had gold written all over it for me haha. YES THE POLICE HAVE COME KNOCCKKIINNNNN lol THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THESE COMMENTS, LIKE... THEY'RE ALL SO SWEET AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO REPLY TO THEM SINCE YOU'VE ALREADY READ THE NEXT EPISODE BUT TO SAY THANK YOU OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND HUG YOU OVER AND OVER AND TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE PERFECT. SORRY FOR THESE CRAPPY REPLIES, THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU

I didn't really want an explosive confrontation like in the premiere, because David and Alisha have both grown so much from that. Yeah, it was awkward, but I think it really helped both of them get closure with one another haha. You pretty much just summed everything up I DON'T WANNA SAY TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS BECAUSE KELSEY AND ALISHA STILL HAVE SOME IMPORTANT SCENES AND I DON'T WANNA RUIN IT, SO I'M JUST GONNA SAY THAT I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THEIR SCENE, UNDERSTAND KELSEY A LIL BETTER, AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE FINAL TWO EPS! Why am I yelling, oh my god. I don't like to leave anything in the dust! Haha, Michael can still suffer panic attacks, and Paula will do her best to be right there to help him call down. He needed that support from her, because it's really tough to fail, and with Michael just trying to get his feet wet it really took a toll on him. I think they're great supports for one another Alex is going through an extremely hard time. He can't get any roles, and it's really starting to eat away at him. He's a very impatient person, and I think all of this rejection an denial is slowly eating at him. He goes to another audition next ep, so we'll see how that goes haha YOU'RE RIGHT! NOTHING BAD HAPPENED! NO ONE POSSIBLE DIED! THERE WAS NO CRASH! NOPE NOPE NOPE, TUNE IN NEXT WEEK! Also, thank you SOOO much for supporting the show so much, and I hope you enjoy the final two eps of the sequence!

Episode 4 - "There's Something About Leila" - Out Now

Post by Jay Paterson on Oct 26, 2015 9:26:10 GMT -6
Its been a while. My MacBook is still fried but I've been able to persuade my dad to give me his laptop in the meantime. So now that I can get back into theVPN why not start it off with some reviews, well not reviews more like a bunch of random thoughts.
4.03: "Baes" I like drunk... everyone! Haha! What a fun start to the episode and although I think its funny that Judy is trying it on with Michael, she better not go there because Paula has dibs. David and Mia becoming friends? Robbie and Rose exchanging numbers? You can just tell that none of that will go down well. Alex just better buck up the courage to ask Rose out before Robbie goes for another one of our guys girls. T'aww, I love when Alex and Alisha have those moments, they have a great friendship, it brings the show back to its core. The way it was back in the beginning, just those two friends, relying on each other to make it.
4.04: "The First Dates" Well wasn't that awkward... That was so fun to read. So, he finally did it. David finally asked out Rose, which is about time if I do say so myself. I understand that Michael only asked Paula out as a friend, but even him just realising how great of "besties" they are is a huge step forward in their relationship so I'll take that for now.
4.05: "Lets Go Out" Girls after my own heart, as soon as I see "free food" I'm there. Haha. Kelsey seems like an interesting character, I take it we'll be seeing more of her? She would add something a little different to the group. David and Mia seem to becoming a lot closer, which I surprisingly like. I'm always a sucker for a road to redemption storyline. A feel like Paula's taken a back step in recent episodes, I mean she's been there but she hasn't really been at the centre of anything in a while. But then saying that you've been focusing a lot more on Michael which is a nice change. But seriously? A cartoonist? Haha. I can't wait to see how that pans out.

4.06: "Questioning and Reckoning" I like this new David, enjoying life and having fun while he can. Although, I do see this having a spiralling effect if he doesn't calm down, there's a difference between being reckless and having fun. Either way though, having this new friendship between himself and Mia is really fun to watch. Good ole Michael and Paula comedy to read. Haha! Tbh I oculd have probably read a whole episodes where they two were locked in the house with a rat. Oh no, that ending. After having that great moment between Alex and Alisha last episode, something like this comes along and ruins it. I hope this blows over quick, I prefer the two of them as best friends rather than bickering.
4.07: "Interview" The dreaded interview, that all felt quite tense. And just as I thought we were getting somewhere with Mia she takes another five steps back. Robbie has been awfully different since the shooting, a lot more quiet, I'm curious as to what's going on there. Woo Alex and Alisha made up! I'm glad that falling out didn't last too long.
4.08: "The Inevitable" This episode brings back some dark memories for the gang and from seeing that flashback with Mia, it shows that it affected her a lot more that she leads on. Michael becoming a script writer? This could be interesting. That moment with Robbie and Rose was great, these new relationships between the characters are great, I just hope that these two remain just friends. Paula managed to get Alex and Alisha a new audition, I can't wait to see the next listing on their IMDb page. Haha! I hope we get to see more of David soon, his life after hospital has some great potential storyline's, I can't wait to read more.

Its been a while. My MacBook is still fried but I've been able to persuade my dad to give me his laptop in the meantime. So now that I can get back into theVPN why not start it off with some reviews, well not reviews more like a bunch of random thoughts. Welcome back, Jay! Yay! I really loved starting this episode off with everyone showing up on Michael's doorstep drunk haha. David/Mia and Rose/Robbie are two very interesting dynamics, especially Rose/Robbie who are strictly friends. I don't see Robbie moving in for a relationship right now, as he's really focused on his music career. And I love the Alex/Alisha relationship (Halleta!) because it always brings the show back to it's beginning. Their relationship will come full circle again in the sequence finale, and will play a rather large part in sequence 5! I think Alex and Rose have a really great relationship because they can each go their separate ways to achieve their dreams and still find time to be with one another. Yeah, this was a huge moment for Michael because he finally fully accepted Paula into his life and realized all of the good stuff she's done for him. Kelsey is sticking around for the rest of the sequence. She has a really important arc with Alisha. The David and Mia relationship will also be explored further into the arc. Yeah, Paula hasn't really been at the forefront for a bit, but she will be in 4.16! And Michael's just struggling to figure out what he wants to do, but you already know what he wants because you've read the next few episodes! David is really set on doing things he wants to do because of almost losing his life in the shooting. He's not out of control though, so he's not going to spiral down into insanity with it. He just needs some time to be happy and to fully recover. I always love shoving Michael and Paula into a room and seeing what happens, maybe the rat will resurface, brining his family into the mix. Who knows. The Alex and Alisha conflict will blow over in the next episode, as you've already read, haha! This episode was a struggle to write, but it was important so I'm glad it happened. Mia is always a frustrating character because she's been through a lot of stuff and it's hard for her to do things perfectly. Robbie's just focused on his dream, and yay for the Halleta makeup! haha Yeah, everyone's been affected by this shooting, and I didn't want that to go unnoticed. And Rose and Robbie will strictly remain friends, promise! Just because Paula got them an audition doesn't mean it's going to go over so smoothly I loved being able to write this with Chris, and I just love all of the characters he's created. You should definitely start reading SP! It's great! This two parter was really about getting Michael exposed to this craft to see if he really wants to do it, and interacting with all of these new characters along the way. I loved writing the Shawn scene, because I would probably be the same if I saw my favorite actor at an audition! YES! READ SP, JAY, DO IT! But anyway, Michael's gonna have this new craft on the back of his mind through the sequence. Alisha is going to try and figure things out because as of right now she's hella confused. Emily is definitely a firm believer in tough love haha but she gave Michael some great advice. Yes! The Rolex kiss! Loved writing that moment. AUDITION BY MICHAEL BERRETA, COMING SOOON HAHA Thanks so much for these reviews, Jay! Always love reading your thoughts, and I'll say it again - YES READ SCREENWRITERS PARADISE BECAUSE IT'S SO FUNNY AND AMAZING

"Another Hollywood Heartbreak"It's my party, and I'll read 'Audition' if I want to *laughs at my own joke* So, last week's episode ended on quite the cliffhanger with Mia's car accident, and I felt like it was a little anticlimactic to come back this week and find that she's just a bit beaten up and bruised but is otherwise fine. But anticlimactic isn't always a bad thing, because it goes hand in hand with the fact that I can rarely ever predict anything on this show and so I'm always left guessing, and then being surprised. So, I was surprised in this episode. Mia's been honest and open about her jealousy, and I think jealousy is such a hard thing to battle, and it's something that takes a lot of time to overcome that I hope David is willing to understand and still be there for her. I mean, you can really understand why Mia would view that Alisha/David moment the way she did, and I like that she flat out says how a minute after she's opened up about how jealous she was with those two, he is then off talking to her. It continues to round out Mia's character, and it continues to peel back layers that make her more human and more relatable. Again, I just hope that she and David can get through it because even though it's annoying when you're accused of doing something you had no intention of doing, Mia is only being honest in how she feels and I hope she doesn't get crucified for it. They both could do with a less defensive, and accusatory conversation. Unfortunately, I'm worried you're about to break these guys up *predicts it so that it doesn't happen* Speaking of couples that need to break up -- okay, I'm kidding. I like 'Rolex.' I feel like their momentum has been gained back, and there's been more focus on them so that I can get on board with it. I really enjoyed their opening scenes together, and I keep saying this but it's nice that these two have two completely different passions in life but are always united, and always supporting each other. I say it because their dreams could divide them. It could take Rose in one way, and Alex in the other, but they're a unit, they're a team, and I like it. I do think Alex's arc isn't the most interesting out of the storylines ramping up in the final few episodes, just because I'm more invested in David and Alisha this sequence, but it's very true, and it's very rooted in realism. This whole sequence has actually kind of avoided the more dramatic turns in the story like a shooting, or the Angela/Jordan twist in the second sequence, and focused more on the twists and turns in every day life, and so it's been refreshing. So I do like Alex's storyline, and I feel like it's building to something either really bad for his future and emotional state heading into the next sequence, or something incredible. Perhaps this audition didn't go as bad as he thought? Ugh, I feel bad for the guy, but I hope for a "we knew the second he walked in that he was right for the part" twist. Either route will be an interesting one to venture down. Speaking of twists, though, I was quite shocked at the resolution for the Kelsey/Alisha dynamic. But it was my favourite part of the whole episode, and here's why: Kelsey was very much a supporting character to Alisha's arc in discovering herself, and tapping into these feelings she's been having this sequence. Prior to the twist, Alisha accepted herself, and accepted her feelings, and so, in a way, Kelsey's role was fulfilled. I mean, I'm a little confused at Kelsey screaming out "you can't keep running," because I felt like that was the first time Alisha wasn't running away from it but rather faced it head on, and instead, it was more about feeling a little humiliated, and maybe even a little betrayed by what she thought was the reality of the situation. I'm interested to see Alisha's mindset in the final two episodes, and maybe if we come back next sequence after a little time jump, we can meet a potential girlfriend in her life, or a new love interest. My desire to see Kelsey and Alisha together has officially died. Anyway, another great episode of 'Audition.' Happy birthday to me because Mia didn't die (thank god), Alisha has finally accepted herself and I'm so proud of her for being open and honest, even if it didn't work out for her, and 'Rolex' were adorable in this one.

REVIEW: 4.18 "Fallout"We start this episode right where the last one left off and for a conversation I was dreaded, but at the same time, excited to see because it kinda needed to happen, we got through it and it went pretty well. I'm glad Alisha and David were able to give each other some space to sort of think everything over and move on with their lives, and then come back together after some time had passed and clear the air. I really loved their little chat; it went a lot better than I was expecting it to. I hope they're able to actually be friends again at some point. That'd be nice haha! Seeing Michael, Paula, Tabbi and Yana crawling out of a window to avoid the police was so entertaining and I almost can't believe it happened. haha! I hope this isn't the last time we see those two, because they brought some amazing humor to the show and their wild personalities really work well with Michael's more sensible one and Paula kinda wacky one. haha! Anyway, that was a fun little multi-episode arc. I enjoyed it a lot. And then it gets a bit more serious when we start talking about Michael's panic attacks. This show has a way of giving us insane humor one moment and then totally flipping the script and touching on some of the more serious, emotional aspects. I love that about Audition and the way you write. I liked the conversation between Rose and Robbie. Their last phone call got a bit out of control but I'm glad they were able to talk about it, apologize to each other, and move on. That's a relationship that's definitely interesting and I want it to work because I think they can help each other a lot. But hopefully this will just make their relationship stronger and more open. And then we get to Alex telling Rose he didn't get the role. *CRIES* Very emotional scene. I'm glad Rose was there for him. Their relationship seems to be going too well. It's just a matter of time before you do something to totally screw them over, isn't it? ;( I'm not looking forward to that. haha Now the Kelsey/Alisha moment. It was really nice and I'm so happy they were able to get that moment. Though when I'm writing this review, I've read the next episode so I know how this all concludes. And now I'm really sad. Hopefully they can patch things again in the last episodes of the sequence. I'm not holding out for them to become a couple or anything but I definitely think a friendship between those two ladies would be wonderful! Please don't make me cry, please please please. P.S. You are so evil for that ending. And I read this right before reading that one scene with Ashlock from TST S2! So, double whammy! lmao REVIEW: 4.19 "Another Hollywood Heartbreak"
This was a really good episode, even though it broke my heart into a million pieces... multiple times. But we start out nicely, with a really cute Rolex scene. I'm honestly their biggest fan. Been here for them since the beginning and I think they have a beautiful, healthy relationship. It's just seems easy for them and I know some people probably would assume that means they won't last; because it's not fiery or intense or dramatic, but I think the calmness of their relationship right now is refreshing and a nice breather. Wow, I went off on a tangent there. I love how supportive Alex and Rose are of each other. And I hope that remains the case forever *crosses fingers* THANK GOD! Nothing terrible happened to Mia. I mean, she got in a car accident and all but it wasn't fatal. I would seriously hate you for maybe .3 seconds if she ended up dying haha But I can't hate you for that late, because you're bae and all. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Mia starts acting very cold towards David, all because she saw him and Alisha talking and she assumed the worst. She's got a lot of issues she needs to work on within herself and I really felt for her in that scene. Both of them actually. I just want those two to work out. Their dynamic surprised me so much throughout this sequence and it'd be a shame if it went down in flames. But we've still got another episode to see how everything goes down. ALISHA You two are starting to sound like a married couple. Can we just take a moment here... I'd like this line framed and hung above my bed. Make it happen y'all. They already sound like a married couple, Alisha seems to be fine with it, I'm sure Alex would be fine with it, just make it happen. Like Paula said, she practically lives there anyway. It just makes sense. But okay, I'll stop my insane Maula shipping for three seconds. That was a nice scene between those three. I'm glad Alisha's going to them for advice, even if she didn't give them all the details. Alex's audition really hurt. I felt so bad because I know stuff like that happens for real and actors have to go through that every day. It just sucks and I really just wanted to hug Alex in that moment. He has to feel like total crap. I also wanted to hug you because you're an actor so you might have gone through something like that. UGH! Hugs for everyone! And then we get to the final scene... the scene that just broke my spirit and crushed my soul. Alisha finally accepts herself and goes to tell Kelsey the truth but she's too late. Kelsey's dating Tina. I was NOT expecting that and I was so crushed. It's just so real and definitely something that's happened to me before. So all those feelings came rushing back to the surface. I don't really know how it's gonna work out between those two. If they'll end up being friends, more than friends or just go their separate ways and never speak to each other again. But I'm looking forward to any outcome because Alisha needs some peace of mind. Hell, and so do I. This is getting nuts. haha! Anyway, very good addition to S4! This sequence is probably one of if not my favorite so far. Not just because there's been more episodes, but the storylines you've been able to bring to the table have been extra intriguing, funny and entertaining to read. I'm 100% invested in this show and I can't wait for more! Bring on the Halloween Special and the finale! I'm ready!!

"Another Hollywood Heartbreak"It's my party, and I'll read 'Audition' if I want to *laughs at my own joke* Yeah, I think it was anticlimactic but I also think a horrendous consequence wasn't really warranted. I didn't want to shove another person in the hospital for an extended period of time so soon! haha. Mia has a lot of problems to work out with her self esteem, and that's something that will be tackled in sequence five because of how she is at the end of the finale. It's a really interesting conflict to write because David didn't do anything wrong, and Mia didn't either expect for making an assumption based on passed experiences. The scene they share next episode really deals with how this one ended. Yaaay! Haha, I love writing these little Rose and Alex scenes. It's all leading up to a more prominent storyline between the two next sequence. Yeah, Alex's arc isn't supposed to really be captivating, it's just supposed to be a slow set up. Rejection and denial isn't something that really hits you once and then you're shaped from that, so Alex's main goal right now is to try and get a role. He'll get the result of whether or not he made the cut in the next episode, where he shares most of his scenes with Aisha I think, while this definitely closed a chapter on Kelsey and Alisha for this sequence, it's just opening up a new one for both of them. Alisha has finally accepted that she has feelings for girls, and now Kelsey has to process this information because she did like Alisha, but now she's with Tina. It's all really confusing for the both of them haha. Kelsey shouted that line because, at least to her knowledge, Alisha has run away from her every time something intimate begins to happen between the two. She was in the mindset of "Oh, she's leaving again instead of talking this through with me," so that's why she yelled that at her. Thanks again for the review, Jack! Can't wait to see what you think of the finale, as I will say it is quite emotional

I really loved their little chat; it went a lot better than I was expecting it to. I hope they're able to actually be friends again at some point. That'd be nice haha! This was suuuuch an important conversation, and I didn't really want it to be an explosive confrontation because both David and Alisha have grown up so much from the start of the sequence, and I really wanted to showcase that growth and show that they can have a mature meeting just like adults. So now, they're gonna stop avoiding each other and try to put that awkwardness aside. HAHAHA! I really loved bringing Tabbi and Yana into Michael's life, because it was the first time anyone, besides Paula, really believed in his dream and told him he was awesome at what he was doing. It was really important to him. His panic attacks are always going to be lingering in the back of his mind, and I really wanted Paula giving him advice to try and cope with that, so I'm glad you enjoyed those scenes Yeah, this was very much just a little bump in the road for Rose and Robbie haha. That Rose and Alex scene really solidified the bond they've created with one another, and finally showed how Alex is feeling about not receiving these parts. That's going to be tackled next sequence! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA all I'm going to do is laugh because you've already read the next episode haha I'M JUST GONNA LAUGH MORE HAHAHAHAHAHA YAAY! I'm so glad you ship Rolex. It makes me so happy haha I hope to deliver many more cute Rose/Alex moments for you in the future Hahaha, yep! Mia's okay. Just a lil banged up. Mia has a ton of problems she's going to need to work out before she can be in a healthy relationship, and she and David are going to discuss that in the finale, and you'll just have to see whether or no that ends with them together or apart. I'm still really happy with all of the Dia support, because it was definitely one of my favorite things to write this sequence. *takes moment here* Hahaha, this scene really brought everything Alisha is going through full circle. She's been trying to figure everything out on her own when what she really needed was some firm advice. *accepts hug* Yeah, Alex is ramping up a really interesting, hopefully interesting and dynamic storyline for next sequence. I want to get back into the realism of what actors go through, so hopefully I accomplish that with his new arc *crieess, hugs you* definitely a traumatic experience for Alisha. FORGIVE ME! This scene opened new paths for both characters, and while they do involve each other they're very much rooted into individual storylines. Thank youuu! So glad you're enjoying the sequence, and I hope you enjoy the finale just as much if not more!

4.11: "Weedy Comfort" What a way to kick off arc two. Everyone seems to be in a good place right now and its pretty refreshing.
I'm really digging this new relationship between David and Mia. They do have some sort of chemistry, that being said, I'm still unsure if this is going to turn into anything other than a friendship. Even though Mia can be a bit of a bitch I do want Dia? Mavid? to happen. Lol. Another interesting relationship we got to see this episode was Alisha and Kelsey. I like their playful/flirty dynamic which is slowly leading into Alisha question her sexuality which is coming across realistically so far. I hate it when a character from a show becomes gay all of a sudden just for the sake of having a storyline, but this doesn't feel like its coming out from left field and has a natural transition to it, so I'm pretty excited to see where it goes. Robbie and Rose share a scene also in this episode, this is another new relationship I really like. However, I hope this one stays just a friendship because I like David and Rose together too much.
Overall great episode, its a nice set up to see what's to come for our characters. Michaels new passion, Alisha's self discovery, David's new lease on life and Paulas... Wait. Seriously? NO PAULA?! I could cry... JK. I'm sure we'll get our Paula fix at some point this arc.
Yeah so I'm really excited to see how this arc plays out. This definitely has potential to becoming my favourite sequence.

4.11: "Weedy Comfort"
What a way to kick off arc two. Everyone seems to be in a good place right now and its pretty refreshing. I've been over the moon with the reception between Mia and David. Their relationship stemmed from horrible things and I'm just so glad people can get behind them. I think the official ship name is Dia! haha Alisha's entire story this sequence is really about self discovery and pushing the past away from you and Kelsey really helps her with that. I'm glad you're finding my depiction is coming across realistically so far. That's always what I strive for in Audition. And Rose and Robbie will stay strictly friends. There's no romantic undertones, and Rose is happily in a relationship with Alex. Hope that eased your worries! haha Thanks for reading and reviewing, Jay! Always love to hear your thoughts. I swear, Paula will be back! haha, and she's got a huge episode in 4.16
