The Americans 3X3: Open House

OMG. DIY dentistry seems like torture. If I was Philip, I don't know if I could have done. I get that the end result is to make your wife be in less pain, but in order to do that, you have to cause her more pain first. Ugh. I'm just glad I wasn't involved in this scenario.

Okay, so I did the world's quickest Wikipedia scan to see if I could figure out what exactly the CIA was doing in Afghanistan during this time. And if my super quick search is to be believed, it looks like the CIA was...

Schedule June 30-July 4

Hello, hello. Happy Saturday (probably I'm typing this solidly on Saturday- it's about 2:30pm where I am- but my schedule is gonna be a hot mess this week, so figuring that out might mean you don't get this until Sunday 😳).

So Dan and I have decided to drive down to South Carolina to see our friends for 4th of July. We're leaving on Thursday morning and coming back on Monday night. This was a fairly last minute decision so I haven't had a lot of time to prep. (Plus I have a doctor's ...

True Blood 6X8: Dead Meat

Again, I quite liked this episode, but I am out of time this week. As per usual. Wikipedia incoming. Sigh.

Eric and Bill have a major fallout over Nora's death, as Eric believes Bill could’ve saved her but chose not to.

Alcide and Rikki have a fallout over his lying about killing Sam or Nicole.

Sookie returns to the faerie plane and asks Warlow to help her, but he is reluctant to do so without her promise of marriage.

At the detention camp, Jason is thrown by the ...

Virgin River 2X1: New Beginnings

Okay, so, I've had a really ridiculous filming schedule lately as we just decided this week we're going to see our friends in SC for 4th of July. That said, I've watched a lot of stuff out of order from as I typically would and I'm a couple episodes ahead. So, I'm going to try to keep this brief-ish, so I don't get it mixed up with other episodes.

We start this season with Mel home in LA. But it's not long after she heads back to Virgin River. While she's heading back (or somewhere near...

The Mentalist 2X15: Red Herring

Ugh. All I could think about while watching this is how much I wanted to eat food prepared by these chefs.

So, we've got all these chefs getting ready to present their delicious looking food. However, when the first one gets up there, he starts sweating, gets double vision and passes out dead. CBI gets called to the case and Lisbon is cranky and unhappy to be there. While the coroner is inspecting the body, Jane asks him to pry the mouth open and he discovers that the guy has been poiso...

The Fosters 4X1: Potential Energy

Okay, so we're picking up right where we left off. Thank you.

Nick takes the gun he got out of the glove compartment and tosses it into his bag. Then, he heads into the building. While this is happening, Callie is busy crying while she's trying to answer Stef and Lena's questions about her and Brandon's relationship. It's kind of heartbreaking for all of them.

Suddenly, Mike shows up claiming that Nick's dad's warehouse has burned down and they think it's arson. He asks if Nick is...

The Americans 3X2: Baggage

Okay, so we've got to deal with the dead body in the hotel room. Philip calls Elizabeth from a pay phone and tells her he needs some help moving files. Paige is suspicious that Philip is cheating as he works a lot of nights, but Elizabeth assures her that is not the case with her dad.

Elizabeth shows up with a giant rolling suitcase and she and Philip start to break all the bones in this poor girl's body in order to stuff her into the suitcase. Elizabeth gets Yousaf to helps and makes s...

Hart of Dixie 2X4: Suspicious Minds

Okay, so Zoe and Wade are back to having 'casual sex,' (not that I think Zoe knows what casual sex is, but whatever). She wants to chat to L

Okay, so Zoe and Wade are back to having 'casual sex,' (not that I think Zoe knows what casual sex is, but whatever). She wants to chat to Lavon about this, but he's not really interested in hearing about her sex life with Wade.

So, when Ruby pops by the doctor's office claiming she misses Zoe, she caves when she promises no election talk. Th...

Prison Break 4X9: Greatness Achieved

I love this season so much. Also, I LOVE that not only did Mahone get to be the one of who killed Wyatt, but he didn't even give him the time of day when he wanted to talk first. Fuck you asshole. I know we've all worked for the Company at various times for various reasons, but he really seemed to enjoy it.

So, we've got Wyatt held captive at the warehouse. We're trying to get him to call the general and tell him that Michael and Lincoln are dead. He refuses, so Lincoln enjoys beating h...

The Vampire Diaries 5X11: 500 Years of Solitude

What the actual fuck? Are they serious? I'm so glad that I didn't give in and continued to blame Katherine for all the fucked up stuff she did in her life. The only glimmer of hope I see is that Caroline is usually able to tell with 'Elena' is 'Katherine' pretty quickly. Let's hope that track record continues.

So Katherine is busy dying. Stefan compels the doctors to let him take her home so she can die in comfort. Nadia is sure she can fix this, but Stefan tells her there is nothing th...

The Originals 1X11: Après Moi, le Déluge

I didn't even attempt to pronounce that title. I'm sure it's French, but that's where my language skills end. 😳 Also, I was so sure that Da

I didn't even attempt to pronounce that title. I'm sure it's French, but that's where my language skills end. 😳 Also, I was so sure that Davina was going to be fine. I really like he character and I was sad to see her go. Also, I was so confused as to what happened at the end of this episode, but now writing this, I think I might have figured ...

Virgin River 1X10: Unexpected Endings

Well everything's just gone to hell, hasn't it?

Okay, so Hope sees Jack driving down the road and flags him down. She asks him if he's spoken to Mel yet about the baby, and he claims he's on his way to do it right now. When he gets to Mel's for their breakfast pancake date, she's on the phone with Joey talking about great her night was with him (Joey meanwhile, is crying as he husband is trying to get possession of the dog- and possibly sleeping with his assistant).

Mel can tell ...

The Mentalist 2X14: Blood In, Blood Out

I'm so torn about how I feel. I LOVE that we got a Cho episode. And I love the backstory we got, and I love what we learned about Cho's life currently. But, I didn't love the Jane plan as much as I usually do. Plus, I don't like this guy as the murderer. However, I think Cho being Cho makes this episode a net positive. Let's do more Cho stuff, please.

Okay, so, Cho is about to leave for the day to have dinner with his girlfriend. She's familiar enough to know everyone's name in the depa...

The Fosters 3X20: Kingdom Come (Featuring Lauren)

Okay, so when we watched this episode, we didn't realize it was the season finale. It makes a lot of sense now that I know this though.

We hold a bit of a memorial service for Jack. I still cannot believe that that guy got another foster kid. I'm so pissed off about it. Sadly, the only people at this services are basically the Fosters. Jack didn't have anyone in his life, which is basically how we ended up here in the first place.

Today is the day that Callie is supposed to speak ...

The Americans 3X1: ETS Men

Okay, so S3 has started off well, if you ask me.

Elizabeth is meeting with some CIA (ex CIA?) employee who is fairly disgruntled about how things went in her career. She gives Elizabeth a list of names for people who are working on certain projects. She then excuses herself to use the lady's room. However, on her way, she has a change of heart and makes a call, telling the person who answered that she did a bad thing.

Once she gets back to the table, Elizabeth knows it's time to c...

Hart of Dixie 2X3: If It Makes You Happy

So George was kind enough to let Lemon know that he'll be going on a date later since he doesn't want her to find out through the gossip mil

So George was kind enough to let Lemon know that he'll be going on a date later since he doesn't want her to find out through the gossip mill. She's very kind and cordial when they speak, but as soon as he leaves, she runs to AnnaBeth and tells her she's got to win the relationship, so they are going out tonight to find her a new husband.

Zoe...

The Originals 1X10: The Casket Girls

Okay, so we've got Rebekah going all girl power in this episode. And I'm here for it (at least the way she's doing it- she's totally cool wi

Okay, so we've got Rebekah going all girl power in this episode. And I'm here for it (at least the way she's doing it- she's totally cool with Tim and Josh who are nice, normal guys).

Cami is in rough shape right now. Davina has been giving her back all of her memories and it's just super painful for her, but she refuses to stop. She wants to...

The Vampire Diaries 5X10: Fifty Shades of Grayson

What the hell, Damon? I thought we'd moved passed your 'She's too good for me' phase. Let the girl decide if you're worthy of her or not. Seriously.

So, Damon manages to escape, and runs around looking for Elena. No one has seen her (since, you know, she's locked up in Wes's lab). He grabs Stefan and they head over to chat with Aaron, figuring he'd know where to find her. He claims he doesn't, so they make him call Wes and tell him they'll kill him if he doesn't turn over Elena. He agre...

Prison Break 4X8: The Price

I cannot see a possible situation where Sara and Gretchen can coexist. I get that we're all working together for the same outcome (sort of, Gretchen definitely has her own agenda), but man when this is over, I hope T Bag and Gretchen wind up dead. Seriously.

Anyway, Self as brought Gretchen on board. None of us are happy about this, but we're dealing. She asks Self to invite Sara to her motel room, but Sara declines. She, does end up going though. And, it turns out, Gretchen is giving h...

Virgin River 1X9: Everybody Has a Secret

FUCK. I hate this. All I said was that I okay as long as Charmaine wasn't pregnant. But of fucking course. This show, like all the others, can't give me any fucking happiness.
Arrgggg.

So, Mel and Jack plan a date for later that day Huzzah! She is a little skeptical but he talks her into it. (But not aggressively- it's pretty obvious she wants to go). However, when she shows up for work, they have an emergency. A girl shows up basically not able to breathe. Her parents are there and...

The Mentalist 2X13: Redline

You guys. I really, really loved the chemistry between Jane and the super crazy rich dude. It was really fun to watch. Plus, I love the concept that he was totally cool to destroy his 300k vehicle for the fun of the chase. That seems right up Jane's alley too. I hope the two of them becomes friends.

So, we've got a dead saleswoman in the truck of a car on the dealer showroom floor. Jane immediately has fun pitting the rest of the salesmen against each other. (Fun fact: I worked at an RV...

I Need Some Help

Okay, so, it is brutally hot here. I had to skip my last reaction of the day (nothing changes for you guys, it just makes the rest of the week a little busier) as I physically could not sit in my house without the air conditioner on any longer.

How to you guys feel about me leaving it on for the next couple of days? I think it's loud and annoying. But, the alternative is that I end early every day this week (my apartment is all windows and the sun just bakes me) and things will probably...

The Fosters 3X19: The Show (Featuring Lauren)

So, we had Lauren here for this one. And neither of us loved this episode. You guys know I don't love when we get big chunks of singing in a show that isn't based around that. Also, we get very angry and are adamant that no matter how broken the system is, they wouldn't send Jack back to that house. (Spoiler alert: they did).

Okay, so it's the day of the show and it's interspersed with things that have been happening over the last few days (and in Stef's case, what is happening right no...

The Americans 2X13: Echo

I am so annoyed that I watched this so many days ago. This episode was incredible, and I'm afraid I will not do it justice in this description as it's been so many days and my brain is useless. Sigh.

Okay, so, we get the guy who was working with Emmett to go into the factory (pretending to audit the books or something) wearing special shoes that will pick up the paint on the floor. He's a little wary, but ultimately agrees. They have a plan for him to ditch the shoes in a dumpster and t...

Happy Pride! Fire Island (Featuring, Lauren, My Sister-in-Law)

OMG. Why are there so many characters? Lauren and I had no idea who was who. You guys already know I have a hard time telling young adult white guys apart. This was torturous. Turns out, Lauren isn't any better at it. For the longest time all we knew was Howie. And there were people named Will and Charlie, but we couldn't figure out who. By the time it was over, we STILL didn't know the names of a few of the core group.

This is (at least to me) fun and (to everyone else, including me) p...

Schedule June 23-27

Hello, hello. Happy Saturday.

This week we end S3 of The Fosters and start S4. Side note: Lauren and I watched the S3 finale already, but I had no idea it was the finale when we watched it. The ending makes sense knowing that, though. Lol. I think everything else is staying the same this week.

So, Lauren. The two of us watched The Fosters 3X19 and 3X20 yesterday. She claims she's seen most (or all) of the show, but remembered almost nothing. See how similar we are? 🤣 The discus...

So, Quick Update Before I Do the Schedule Tomorrow Where I Like To Update You

You may have already realized that all the videos that came out today (Friday) were of me in the same shirt. I hate to do that. But it was so fucking hot in my house that I needed to wear as little as possible. I think there will be stuff that posts on Monday of me in the same attire (but I honestly can't remember). Sorry about that. I didn't wanna melt. 🤣

Also, my sister-in-law came over today and we did the next two episodes of The Fosters together and one of the Pride movies. I fe...

True Blood 6X7: In the Evening

So, I think this was my least favorite episode this season. However, that does not change the fact that this is my favorite season so far.

But, as per usual, we're Wikipedia-ing True Blood. Sigh.

Eric escapes the facility with the ailing Nora where they hide out at Bill's mansion, but Eric is soon angered when Bill refuses to heal her against her will.

Meanwhile, Warlow wants to get married, but Sookie isn't so sure.

Sarah finds Burrell's corpse, and resolving that i...

Virgin River 1X8: Into the Light

Okay, so we've got a huge storm, which apparently, isn't all that uncommon here. Mel is woken up from a nightmare, to find all the power out. The owner of the B&B checks on her and tells her that in times like these, everyone in town hangs out at Jack's Bar. Mel insists she'll be fine where she is, but she's told without heat, it will get very cold, very quickly. But, she still decides to stay.

Joey calls her after hearing about the weather in Virgin River. And she encourages her to...

The Mentalist 2X12: Bleeding Heart

So CBI is being interviewed for some kind of positive PR thing. No one is particularly happy about. Jane is downright miserable. Lisbon agrees, reluctantly, but tells them they can't come out into the field, only in the office.

They head out to the case and find the PR girl for the mayor's office dead. During a live groundbreaking of a new complex, they dug up the PR girl. The first thing we do is head to her apartment, which seems undisturbed, minus a missing laptop. Lisbon also told t...
