The Fosters 3X18: Rehearsal

Ugh. I hate Justina. Why is she like this? Does she not understand that Callie is a child and she is the grown ass adult? Stop playing with her like this.

We start with Callie at some sort of arbitration to help Daphne get custody of Tasha back. However, the lawyer for the foster parents keeps bringing up all the shitty things that Daphne has done in the past. Callie keeps trying to explain that Daphne has changed, but it doesn't seem to matter. The judge rules that Tasha can stay with...

The Americans 2X12: Operation Chronicle

I watched this episode and the S2 finale back to back, so hopefully, I don't get them mixed up in my mind. (Spoiler alert: I will).

Anyway, Elizabeth gets word that Jared knows about who his parents were, so she grabs him on the street using some secret KGB code phrase. He gets in the car and she informs him that things are bad and he cannot go back to his old life. But, Russia is going to take care of them. She pulls out into the street, and Larrick follows along behind.

So, I didn't love this episode. Maybe it was because it was based on a musical plot line, maybe it was because I'm not loving how much Zoe wants to constantly fall into bed with Wade, maybe it's because the fact that she can't make up her mind seems silly (she's wanted Wade almost since she got here).

Zoe is determined (again) to stop sleepin...

Prison Break 4X7: Five the Hard Way

Okay, so, we decide to split up in this episode. Hacker (who's way too excited), Lincoln, Sara, and Sucre head to Vegas to deal with the next cardholder. And Michael, Mahone, and Bellick, stay and go after T Bag.

The receptionist at Pocket Boy's fake job calls Bellick deciding to try to get some money out of him. She says she wants $4000 (?) for the info on T Bag. However, when Bellick goes to give me money, he ends up calling Michael and saying she wants more money. So Michael and Maho...

The Vampire Diaries 5X9: The Cell

Okay, so I think this was my favorite episode of the season so far.

Elena, worried that Damon hasn't gotten in touch with her, goes to see Aaron to ask if he knows where Wes might be. He brings her to the Whitmore House. She's concerned since this is a residence and she probably won't be able to enter, but he invites her in and it works. Turns out, he owns pretty much the whole college. His parents left it to him when they died. Wes comes down the stairs and pretty much immediately inj...

Virgin River 1X7: If Truth Be Told

Okay so, Joey decides to head home. Mel tries to convince her to stay (and also offers to go back with her), but Joey claims she needs to do this on her own. She doesn't know if her marriage is worth fighting for, but she'll figure it out. However, she does say that she now understands why Mel wants to stay, so I call it a win.

Once she's gone, Mel heads over the bar when Ricky gets a call that his diabetic grandma needs him. He tries to leave, but Jack tells him to stay and he and Mel ...

Mentalist 2X11: Rose-Colored Glasses

So, this was fun. Or maybe it was just the playlist for this episode that was fun. Lol.

We've got a dead couple in a car. And, Grace manages to convince Lisbon that she's ready to spend more time in the field. She agrees, but that means that Rigsby ends up having to stay behind. He learns very quickly that it's not that fun to isolated from the rest of the group.

We figured out that they were on their way to a high school reunion (well, Jane does). When they get to the reunion, ...

The Fosters 3X17: Sixteen

Ugh. It's not that I want Monte running around kissing young girls, but I was looking for a good, legitimate reason to get rid of her. That said, I still think what she's doing is inappropriate (whether your student is 18 or not). You don't hang out, alone with your students after hours. There is literally no reason for this.

Anyway, it's Jesus and Mariana's birthday. As much as Jesus wants a solo party with just pizza, 5 friends, and skateboarding; he and Mariana are throwing a joint ...

The Americans 2X11: Stealth

Okay, so Philip seems to have figured out how the US has made their planes 'stealth.' They have apparently painted a bunch of iron balls and affixed them all over the aircraft. The paint absorbs (?) the radar, but also makes you sick. Philip spoke to the guy who worked on (figured out?) the project and he's dying of cancer. And all the bats that were in the area died also. He seems to believe he was poisoned on purpose. But, I don't think that's exactly the case.

Ugh. Again. I don't know how I feel. I think Zoe is right in thinking that both she and George are not ready to get into a relationship right now, but I want them to! It's so annoying. And as much as I am loathe to admit it, there were a few instances his episode where I actually felt for Lemon.

So Zoe wakes up in bed with Wade, but George ca...

The Vampire Diaries 5X8: Dead Man on Campus

As much as I don't really care for the scientist experimentation plot (it's too similar to another show with the same plot I didn't enjoy), I'm 100% here for whatever is going on with Damon. I do like the twist that Damon had tried to shut them down 60 years ago, as he was experimented on back then.

Elena and Caroline are throwing Bonnie a welcome back party. But, she just wants to keep sneaking off to make out of Jeremy. Totally understandable (although, I don't see much chemistry betw...

Prison Break 4X6: Blow Out

Again, this season continues to impress more.

So, we start with this crazy plan where everyone has a very specific job to do. We're at a racetrack, as the next cardholder is the owner of a horse (I'm pretty sure). For whatever reason, they've decided the best way to pull this off, is to tape the device under the managers desk, and get the cardholder into his office. It seems like I would be a lot easier if we just stood next to him in the stands, but alright.

After an insane coup...

Virgin River 1X6: Let's Mingle

Okay, so it's the annual barn dance episode. Hope is way into this. Mel tried to beg off, but Hope refused to let her. They are chatting about it (after Mel tried to talk to Jack about his PTSD and night terrors) when Joey suddenly shows up. It's her birthday weekend and she claims she wants to spend it with Mel.

However, she is being cagey about what's going on with her family, and Mel is suspicious. But, Joey spends all her time trying to convince Mel to come back to LA and refuses to...

The Mentalist 2X10: Throwing Fire

Okay, so I'm still not sure how much of this was Jane acting, and how much of it was the truth. I think all the flashbacks actually happened, but was he actually getting dizzy and falling over, or just taking breaks to hang out and wait for the gardener?

So, we've got a dead scout, who pretty much everyone only had good things to say about. However, the parents of these teenagers are god awful. I'm so glad that my parents weren't like this. But, anyway, this guy scouts young kids and g...

The Fosters 3X16: EQ

Did anyone actually read Romeo and Juliet in high school? I swear, I only ever hear about it on TV when high schools are supposed to read it or put on a play. I've never read it.

So, Brandon has asked Lena if they can rehearse in the gym (or wherever) because they need to start adding more characters so they need more space. When Lena runs this by Monte, she tells her that some of the students are upset with Brandon's rock opera, as they think Romeo and Juliet glamorizes suicide. Lena ...

The Americans 2X10: Yousaf

Okay, so, the center is pleased with the events of the previous episode (even though I couldn't see them) and Elizabeth and Philip are now tasked with getting close to this Pakistani agent. He's second in command, and they figure he'll be able to give them some good information. So, initially, Elizabeth tries to meet up with him in the lobby of a hotel (they know he likes to have sex with pretty women), but Philip decides, he's too smart to have sex with a random woman.

So, he sets up a...

My Sister-in-law is Broken

So, my sister-in-law has torn (?) something in her foot. Because of that she's taking some time off and will be spending a day with me next week. (Huzzah!) I'm forcing her to do some reactions with me because I don't want to fall behind. She will not be reacting to any sponsored shows. If you've paid to sponsor a show, it will 100% just be me.

I'm thinking we'll probably do any/all of the following: True Blood, The Fosters, and one of the Pride movies. That could change, but based on wh...

Pride Movies

Here's some options (you guys didn't make any suggestions those these are all me) for my second queer movie this month. Some I've seen before. If we're choosing that one, it will be a drunk option and noted as such.

Also, I didn't really put any research into most of these, as you know I like to go in blind. So, if these not overly queer related, I apologize. I just went based off some lists I found, as I didn't really wanna look up any plots.

I've also allowed multiple options so...

Oh god. I didn't realize it at the time, but now I remember that Terry had set up that plan with his ex marine guy to kill him. Fuck. I'm almost glad I didn't realize it at the time. I would have been so much more stressed out than I already was.

Okay, so it turns out this guy who held up Mel and Jack is from a pot camp. Last time I didn't get the impression that they were violent, but this whole camp is walking around holding guns threatening to kill us if we don't do what they want. I was sorely mistaken, I guess.

So CBI is at an event to fundraise money for them (I think). Lisbon and Cho approach the woman whose hosting the event and are thanking her. They are waiting for Jane to be the entertainment for the evening. He comes on stage, planning to do magic, but basically just makes everyone feel guilty for not donating, so they all do. However, while t...

The Fosters 3X15: Minor Offenses

I'm very disappointed with Callie in this episode. I cannot believe she would go after Rita like that. I think it's fine if they disagree, but Callie was really hurtful. (I mean, I also think Callie is 100% wrong, but that's not even the issue).

So, we start with Justina and Callie showing the moms an ad to endorse a bill for foster reform on the website. It looks very impressive, but as no one has read the bill, moms are skeptical. Callie says she hasn't read it either, but she trusts ...

I'm going to read the Wikipedia for what happened in that scene.

So, Wikipedia says Elizabeth assassinated the intended targets. Honestly, I had no idea she was even on screen until the end when she and Philip meet b...
