The Americans 3X11: One Day in the Life of Anton Baklanov

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zmfsfxqvhclnjupb0cjn3/Americans-3X11.mp4?rlkey=t8ox3i4o0enyd47ysba19uz5z&st=eu67mltc&dl=0

I really thought we would spend more time in Russia this episode. And I'm so conflicted about whether I believe Nina or not. I'm leaning towards her being all in on herself; she's just so good ...

You Guys, I Feel Like the Dumbest Loser Alive

So, you guys have been making suggestions for how to move forward (and I appreciated them all), but I had one that actually worked. LISA. I feel like an idiot for not trying this. It 100% worked when I did. (I wished I'd tried it sooner, but, in all honesty, I was kind of ignoring and avoiding my emails because I thought it would be a lot of hate comments from you guys- but you all were so supportive. Plus don't you think either Dropbox or Patreon would have suggested this?). You will have a ...

I Think It's Time to Pause Subscriptions

So, we've gotten, literally, nowhere. Both Dropbox and Patreon are saying the problem is on their end. But neither seem to know what it is, how to fix it, or when it will be fixed. It's been weeks now.

This has been such a constant source of tension for me. For the first week, I was frustrated, but going along as usual. Then it started to feel like I was just shouting into the void. So, I decided to take two days off and see if I could come up with any solutions (spoiler alert: I didn'...

A No Schedule Sort of Weekend

Hello, hello. Happy Sunday (barely).

So, we still don't have any kind of update. Patreon ended up in the same place as Dropbox. They claim, they see the issue, it's their fault, but they have no idea about a timetable for it to be fixed. If nothing gets fixed by the end of the week, I think it's time to start thinking about pausing billing. Stuff happens that's out of my control, sure. But, I don't think I can ask you guys to keep paying for more than 2 weeks without getting any content...

A Non- Update, Update

Okay, so. We're still trying to work through the problem. YouTube was a no go. Dropbox basically told me to fuck myself. They said, the engineers see an issue, no idea when it might be fixed, and called my problem taken care of.

Thankfully, Patreon is trying to work it from their end. We've been going back and forth, but it's been very asynchronous. So, it's slow going. I still don't have any kind of timeframe for when we might be back up and running, but it's been almost a week now. ...

Schedule July 21-25

Hello, hello. Happy Sunday (at least where I am).

I finally heard back from Dropbox. They claim their engineers can see the issue, but have no idea about a timeframe to fix it. So, I think I'm going to take my chances trying to get all these uploaded unto an unlisted YouTube video? I mean, if you guys have other suggestions, I'm totally willing to hear them (copyright still seems to apply to unlisted videos, but fingers crossed this is only a temporary solution- if it even works). This...

Drop Box is not linking to Patreon

So, everything is done for today. I just can't actually get it up on to Patreon. I've been trying to add the Drop Box links all morning, but they keep failing. Apparently, Drop Box is having issues.

In addition to that, I had to cut out in the middle of my day to go get a mammogram, so things are running behind. Again, everything is done. I just can't get it onto Patreon. Hopefully, they resolve this soon. Sigh. I'm sorry.l (I feel like I've been saying that a lot lately.)2025-07-18 20:12:05 +0000 UTC View Post

The Fosters 4X10: Collateral Damage

You guys, I got heated watching this episode. I yell. A lot. WTF are you doing Callie? Just because you spoke to a guy doesn't make him safe to get in a car with!

Anyway, we're all going to this festival and Callie asks the family to help her get signatures for a new bill for foster care. They all agree and we're talking about the festival when Brandon gets an email from Juilliard. You guys, I had no idea how emotionally invested I was in this until he found out he got in and I cried. L...

Hart of Dixie 2X8: Achy Breaky Hearts

Ugh. I was so ready for Ruby to be gone. I was sure this was the episode we'd get it. But no. She leaves and comes back (with potentially the intention to leave again?). I think this is a terrible plan. Why not break up now, when you've been dating for only several weeks, rather than 8 months (or whenever) from now when it's going to hurt so much worse?

So, Zoe and Wade are in bed, when George comes knocking. Zoe freaks out and jumps behind the bed to hide, as Wade casually tells him to...

The Vampire Diaries 5X16: While You Were Sleeping

I think this was one of the better episodes this season. S5 hasn't been my favorite, but I liked a lot of things about this one.

So, Elena wakes up, trapped in her dorm (everyone has gone home for vacation), with no memory of what she did while she was Katherine. She does, however, seem to know about being injected with the ripper virus, but claims that she feels fine. Stefan isn't buying it and tells her she's staying locked up. He's got her on the Damon blood regiment, but she insists...

The Originals 1X16: Farewell to Storyville

There's zero chance Rebekah is actually gone, right? I feel like maybe Klaus will let her come back after his little reminiscing of the toys? Or she decides she wants to be there for the baby? I don't know, but she's not gonna just leave the show 2/3 of the way into the first season.

Anyway, Klaus is busy trying to kill Rebekah with the white oak stake, but Elijah has decided that he'll have to deal with him instead. The whole episode is really just Klaus going, 'admit you wanted me dea...

Prison Break 4X12: Selfless

What the fuck. I hate this. How did we all get fooled so badly? I'm thinking that maybe Self was with us until he realized how much money he could get for Scylla? Maybe? But seriously, this was so fucking good. This season is top tier. (At least for me. I just looked it up on Trakt and it does not seem well loved).

Anyway, the general and bunch of his goons come down and step out of the elevator. Lincoln, Sucre, and Mahone already have guns trained on them. They aim back. Lincoln threat...

Virgin River 2X9: Hazards Ahead

OMG. If this show gives me Mel and Jack and then takes them away one more time, I'm totally going to lose my shit. I want to say this time feels different, but I also feel like I've been burned too much already.

So Jack is out searching to see if Spencer is okay (yes, I had to look up his name), but instead he wanders across a guy who busted his shoulder after he'd been out in the elements for days. He calls Mel and she meets them at the office. But, while he's there, Mel takes the oppo...

The Mentalist 2X23: Red Sky in the Morning

Okay, so we're finally back with some Red John action. I was totally thrown a loop when he showed up though. I kind of thought we were thrown for another red herring with the movie making kids.

Jane and Kristina are out on a date. He's still annoyed about the fact that she claims to speak to the dead, but is trying to sort of be gracious about it. Sort of. While they are out, Grace calls and tells him he needs to get back to the office. It seems like Red John has struck again.

Onc...

The Fosters 4X9: New York

Callie! You really can't help yourself, can you? I know you are trying to do the right thing, but you can't break into other people's houses to do it! Plus, it's 100% not safe for you.

So, we're busy packing up the house, since we need to be out in a week. We still don't have anywhere to go, and Stef and Lena are stressed and snippy with each other. During a sit down, they find a pot pipe, and all the kids deny that it's theirs. They also tell his they are filing for divorce. More on th...

The Americans 3X10: Stingers

So, Paige finally knows. And I don't think she really knows how to handle it. She told her parents she didn't care what the secret was, but she had to know. And now that she does, she feels totally blindsided. It's got to be so much different for her. She grew up in America where we were constantly (at that time) told that Russia was the enemy and we that they had spies here to destroy us. And now, Paige finds out that those spies are her parents. And that they claim Russia is actually the go...

Guys Quick TVD/The Originals Question

So today, according the schedule I posted, I'm supposed to react to TVD 5X16 and TO 1X16 to go up tomorrow. However, when I was just double checking the watch order (this is the one I've using: https://www.quora.com/In-what-order-should-you-watch-The-Vampire-Diaries-and-The-Originals-by-episode/answer/Shivam-Upadhyay-466 ) and...

Hart of Dixie 2X7: Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me

Okay so, this was not my favorite episode. I was frustrated by a lot of stuff. And I really don't like feet. I did not enjoy watching Zoe spray a bunch of gross feet and look at them under a magnifying glass.

So, Zoe is upset that she's not getting any romance from Wade. (Which is the whole point of their arrangement. She wants to have it everywhere, but it doesn't work that way Zoe). And, it doesn't help, and Lavon is doing his best to woo Ruby and she's got to watch it.

Then, t...

The Vampire Diaries 5X15: Gone Girl

I don't know what the hell happened to Katherine at the end of this episode. Did she just get dragged off to hell? If so, why doesn't that happen to more people. All these dying supernatural creatures can't all be too good for hell, right?

So Nadia is busy dying, and rather than ask Klaus for his blood, Katherine decides the better option would be to let Wes figure it out. (Why can't we just get Tyler's blood? What am I missing here?). Katherine has decided to be the best mother ever n...

The Originals 1X15: Le Grand Guignol

Are they really going to make me feel bad for Klaus now? Don't get me wrong. I fucking love Klaus. But he's a horrible person (creature? ent

Are they really going to make me feel bad for Klaus now? Don't get me wrong. I fucking love Klaus. But he's a horrible person (creature? entity? being?). And now I hate his dad so much, that I think I almost understand how Klaus ended up like this.

So, this was another great episode. Elijah has left Cami in charge of slowly nursing Klaus back...

Prison Break 4X11: Quiet Riot

I was so incredibly tense during this episode. It's been a while. I love this season, and it's my favorite, but it's been a long time since I was so stressed during an episode. And I was so pissed that we ended it where we did!

So we're busy trying to steal Scylla even though we still don't have the sixth card. Gretchen does try to steal it from the general, but he realizes what she's trying to do and pulls a gun on her (he didn't even bring the card so the whole ruse was moot anyway). ...

Virgin River 2X8: Blindspots

What is goin on with everyone in this episode? Specifically Doc (we just finally got to a good place with him and Mel-now he's back to screaming at her?), but also why is Hope picking a fight? I assume it has to do with what the sewing circle was talking about. But, when she tells Doc she didn't have time to make a lasagne and he's cool with it, she's mad that had she made it, he wouldn't have eaten it.

Anyway, the clinic is slammed with what appears to be an epidemic of food ...

The Mentalist 2X22: Red Letter

Am I the only one who was slightly disappointed by the lack of Red John in this episode? I was so sure they were gonna throw something about him in at the end and go heavy in the finale next episode. That said, I enjoyed this episode. But, to the fair, I enjoy pretty much all these episodes. I don't know what it is about Jane, but just watching him on screen makes me happy.

Okay, so we've got a guy who's ready to give a speech on human trafficking at a human rights convention. But, righ...

The Fosters 4X8: Girl Code

I was ready to be upset by all the robot stuff in this episode, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it didn't annoy me nearly as much as I thought it would. However, I'm still screaming for Mariana to get help. Her poor teenage brain and emotions cannot handle this. Also, I really hate this realtor. It can't just be me, right? Not to mention, she sucks at her job. She told Stef and Lena all the work they'd have to do and then they get an offer 10% over asking and do none of it.

The Americans 3X9: Do Mail Robots Dream of Electric Sheep?

OMG. How is this show so very consistently so good? I don't know exactly what we were going for with all the Elizabeth and old lady scenes, but regardless, they were awesome.

Okay, so a majority of this episode, we're busy following Elizabeth and Philip to the building where the mail robot is getting serviced so we can plant a bug in it. (Or previous one had been discovered). Philip and Elizabeth are not getting along really well. And she's trying (I think) to broker peace by telling hi...

Schedule July 14-18

Hello, hello. Happy Sunday.

I'm shocked that I managed to get everything done last week. I'm still congratulating myself about it. Lol. (Even though, as I was making this week's schedule right now, I realized two things: 1) I only did one episode of Prison Break last week and 2) I'm still behind 🤣). That said, this coming week, on Monday, The Americans and The Fosters will come out later than usual. Typically, The Americans posts around noon; and The Fosters about 2pm. Tomorrow, they...

The Fosters 4X7: Highs & Lows

Okay, so I've decided to Wikipedia some stuff today. This was a rough week, but I made it. I deserve a treat. (I honestly have no idea how I got all this done this week).

But, I want to say a couple of things.

I HATE that Mike was cool with Callie and AJ having sex until he found out she'd also had sex with Brandon.

I think Callie is being ridiculous in her quest to tells moms about Jude's pot usage. It's pot. Who fucking cares? Teenagers smoke pot. It's so not a big deal. ...

Virgin River 2X7: Breaking Point

Okay, so we start with Mel, on the anniversary of her husband's death, delivering a healthy baby boy. She seems so happy. I want this for her all the time.

But then, we switch to her next task being figuring out a birth plan for Jack and Charmaine. Fun. She wants to give birth at home, but Jack is very against it. They lay out their arguments, Mel says some stuff, and then leaves them to discuss while she walks Charmaine's dog (Yes. Charmaine's. I refuse to accept that it is both her an...

True Blood 6X9: Life Matters

Okay, so I've decided to Wikipedia some stuff today. This was a rough week, but I made it. I deserve a treat. (I honestly have no idea how I got all this done this week). But, I want to say a couple of things.

I continue to stand by the fact that this is my favorite season. It's so fucking good. I loved this episode. I cried a lot. I found it odd, that I was this emotionally attached to Terry. Honestly, I feel like if other characters (who were more 'main' characters than he was) had di...

The Mentalist 2X21: 18-5-4

Okay, so I've decided to Wikipedia some stuff today. This was a rough week, but I made it. I deserve a treat. (I honestly have no idea how I got all this done this week). But, I want to say a couple of things.

I really enjoyed the playfulness between Jane and the guy that ran the game store. It's so much fun to watch him interact with someone who is on the same level as him.

Also, I 100% had no idea who the killer was. None of the suspects seems good to me. I'm so glad that at th...
