Prison Break 4X2: Breaking and Entering

Okay, I definitely missed something. I thought the point of hacker guys device was that we didn't need to retrieve it afterwards. But then we spend half the episode trying to get it back. I don't know what I missed there.

So, unsure of where to start, they start suggesting ideas. But Mahone than realizes they can track down Scylla through the cardholder. And he's smart enough to piece some things together and narrow it down a small list of people. Hacker guy gives him a bunch of options...

Arrow 8X10: Fadeout

We made it. 170 (I think) episodes later and Arrow is over. I'm pretty happy with this finale. I assume they knew this was the last season, so we didn't have any weird cliffhanger stuff hanging around in case it got picked up for another season. (minus whatever was going on with Dig and that box). I feel pretty content. Although, I'd love to see a Thea and Roy wedding, I'm happy with where we left them.

So, Oliver rebooting the universe means that Quintin, Moira, and Tommy are all back....

The Mentalist 2X4: Red Menace

I was so upset when I thought angry girl was the killer. Everyone else liked her for the crime, so it shouldn't have been her. And then Jane was going along with it. I was not pleased. But, of course, Jane used it to his owns ends to find the actual killer. Also, I'm pretty sure I guessed the son at one point. But, when you guess everyone, it feels a lot less successful. Lol.

We've got a dead lawyer whose only client is a biker gang. When we stop over to see his wife and son, the wife g...

The Americans 2X4: A Little Night Music

Okay, so, I was so so utterly confused about who this navy kid could possibly be the one we're after. It took me almost the whole episode to realize we're using him to get to the guy we actually need. I wish my brain was smarter.

Claudia shows up and tells Elizabeth and Philip that she wants them to help her figure out who killed the agents. She then gives them some jobs. Philip is trying to recruit some scientist (I think) and Elizabeth is tasked with getting info on this guy that she ...

The Fosters 3X10: Lucky

I am utterly shocked that Callie actually ended up get adopted. And I ugly cried (as per usual, I had no tissues). I was so sure they were gonna drag this out yet again. Especially since we went into this episode 100% sure the adoption was off. And no, I still don't know how I feel about Callie and Brandon having sex. I'm totally fine with her lying to judge about what happened with him, but emotionally, I don't know how I feel yet. I guess I'll figure it out based on what happens in the afte...

Schedule June 2-6

Hello, hello. Happy Sunday.

This week we finish Arrow. I cannot believe it's over. I feel like we've been watching forever. I'm so sad. I also cannot believe how much I enjoyed it. And how long it continued to be good for. A show has no right to still be that good after 150 episodes.

But, that means we also start a new show this week as well. Our Arrow sponsor is now our Virgin River sponsor. Another show that I know nothing about. Literally. I know it's on Netflix and I haven't ...

True Blood 6X4: At Last

Okay, so I didn't even really attempt a super quick recap. These once a week shows are killing me. And I'm piling on to the misery with a Wikipedia summary. These episodes of the week kill me too. Sigh.

Jason is injured and Ben (revealed as part-vampire) secretly feeds him his blood - a secret Sookie soon learns.

Sam, Emma, and injured Nicole are helped to escape Alcide's werewolf pack by Lafayette.

Gov. Burrell and his vampire SWAT team raid Ginger's house but Eric, Pam, ...

The Fosters 3X9: Idyllwild

Okay so, I watched this and following episode back to back (Which I typically do, but it's later in the day than I typically do this, so I'm afraid I might mix them up. This might be on the shorter side).

Brandon's performance at Idyllwild is this episode. The family (plus Jenna and Monte are all headed over to watch). Lena is not thrilled with the prospect of being stuck in a cabin with Monte all weekend, but it turns out, they get along great. When Monte shows up, things seem a little...

Arrow 8X9: Green Arrow & The Canaries

Well, I will start out by saying, I was very disappointed. We are so close to the end and this is not the episode I wanted. We should be wrapping things up at this point, not starting new plot points. There wasn't really anything wrong with the episode. It's just not what I wanted to see.

Okay, so it's 2040 and all has been quiet and calm in Star City for a good while. Most people don't know what happened 20 years ago, but they do know that Oliver Queen died saving the city. Laurel show...

The Mentalist 2X3: Red Badge

Oh this was a fun episode. I liked this so much. And even though I was confused at the motive at the time, I think I understand it now.

So, we find the dead body of a serial child molester that Lisbon put in jail. This leads to the team going down a rabbit hole of all her past accomplishments and realizing she was a bit of a celebrity in the department for a bit. She corrals them all into getting back to work.

Meanwhile, she's still suffering through therapy appointments. The doct...

The Americans 2X3: The Walk In

Okay, so I really thought the walk in guy was going to feature much more heavily with all the focus we put on him last episode. But he's already dead. Did I miss something?

Philip and Elizabeth head to some factory to take pictures of the machine. However, when they get there, they find out it was moved the day before. Elizabeth threatens the guy and he tells her that they have some propellers that are still here. She watches over him while Philip takes the pictures. She then sort of th...

Hart of Dixie 1X18: Bachelorettes & Bullets

Okay, so for this being an episode I've been dying for, I'm not sure I loved it as much as I should have. I just wish we'd stayed with the L

Okay, so for this being an episode I've been dying for, I'm not sure I loved it as much as I should have. I just wish we'd stayed with the Lemon/George stuff and cut out the bachelorette party and Zoe's date with Wade's brother. We had so much important stuff going on, I feel like those things detracted from it.

George is busy trying to figur...

Prison Break 4X1: Scylla

Okay, I'm fairly certain this was my favorite episode of this series so far. I love how we started. I love the idea of this season. I love that Sara is back. I love that we're all back together. I love pretty much everything about it. I have super high hopes for S4.

So it's 3 weeks after he's broken out of Sona (I think) and Michael has tracked Whistler (along with Gretchen and Mahone) to LA. Whistler and Gretchen are negotiating the sale of some USB that has all the Company's personal ...

The Vampire Diaries 5X3: Original Sin

I didn't love this episode. Perhaps it's because I watched it directly after The Originals and I thought that episode was so good, I was sort of disappointed?

Okay, so Elena and Katherine both wake up from the same dream about Stefan being in some bar where he leaves and gets burned up in the sun. The two of them and Damon start trying to find the bar. When they get there the bartender gives Damon a shot with vervain (because Nadia told her to) so he's a bit useless at the moment. Elen...

The Originals 1X3: Tangled Up In Blue

I love the complicated relationship that Klaus and Rebekah have. It seems like as much as she knows it's a bad idea, deep down, she still wants her brother to love her. But it's also fun to watch them team up and be on the same side. For a little while, at least.

Okay, so Klaus and Rebekah are working together to figure out how to get Elijah back. Rebekah is working with Sophie to do a locator spell to try to find him. But, since magic is banned and Davina always knows when magic is bei...

The Mentalist 2X2: The Scarlet Letter

Okay, so I'm super glad that we're still dealing with Red John. One of my only criticisms of last season was that we didn't touch on it enough.

We've got a dead intern to a senator (that's the political office we're sticking with). They want to rule it a suicide, but Jane is quick to argue. There are rumors flying that the dead girl had an affair with the senator's husband but they both deny this vehemently.

When we show up to interrogate the senator and her husband, Jane hangs b...

The Fosters 3X8: Daughters

I really, really enjoyed this episode. As much as I love Callie with the Fosters, I miss her being with the other girls at Girls United.

So, Callie has been staying with Rita (not at GU, at her actual house) while they sort out the adoption issues. Rita is out on a date and Callie is home alone when Rita's daughter shows up. Callie lets her in only for Rita to come home and two of them to get into a fight. Turns out, she's kind of a nightmare kid (with a bipolar disorder diagnosis) and ...

Legends of Tomorrow 5X1: Crisis on Infinite Earths Hour Five

So, apparently, we didn't actually win. I mean we sort of did, but not the way I imagined winning would go.

Kara wakes up and immediately realizes something is wrong. The girl in the house with her has no idea that the multiverse was just destroyed and Kara wonders if she dreamed it. She meets Ray at a bar (the one they did trivia at) and he doesn't remember. Then that John guy shows up (not spelled John at all) and gives him back the memories. Turns out only the paragons remember what ...

The Americans 2X2: Cardinal

I'm actually surprised by how little I was confused. I thought it was going to take several episode before I stopped forgetting things, but I felt pretty good about this one. It didn't hurt that it was a really great episode of TV.

So, we've got Elizabeth growing more and more paranoid, which was really fun to watch. It seems so genuine. (I mean, how could it not be. Especially when her husband is out dressed as the same thing the workers on the street are, and she knows what he's up to...

Hart of Dixie 1X17: Heart to Hart

Ugh. I'm so annoyed. I was so sure that we were finally, finally, FINALLY going to get a George and Lemon break up (or at least the anticipa

Ugh. I'm so annoyed. I was so sure that we were finally, finally, FINALLY going to get a George and Lemon break up (or at least the anticipation of one) this episode. But they left it so ambiguous!

So, Zoe decides she's gonna be mean and bitchy to her dad. But, when he shows up he seems genuinely pleased to see her. And he makes her his surge...

Prison Break 3X13: The Art of the Deal

Ooh, this finale was good. Not that I really expected it not to be. But still.

So, we've tracked down Whistler and forced Gretchen into to the exchange in a public place. She mocks us as we're wanted criminals and we'll be easily spotted. Michael is undeterred. They arrange to meet at a market (or wherever) and Gretchen's got a sniper set up. But, as soon as Michael sees that LJ and Sofia are fine, he leaves and tells her to expect a call in 5 minutes.

They go to a museum and call...

The Vampire Diaries 5X2: True Lies

Okay, so, this is what I wanted out of the last episode. Ugh. This was so good.

Katherine stumbles out of the woods and into on coming traffic. A kind passerby takes pity on her, but soon realizes who she is and maces her. Then she calls someone to get her. However, Matt and Jermey come out of the woods after her and take her with them.

They end up stopping for gas (while she complains constantly about being sick- welcome to humanity) and letting her go the bathroom, which fine. B...

The Originals 1X2: Here Comes the Son

Oh, I'm so excited for this show. I loved this episode. And the Marcel flashbacks with Klaus. Come on.

Okay, so Rebekah, who cannot get in touch with Elijah (you know, because Klaus daggered him) gets concerned and drives down to New Orleans to check up on him. She bursts into the house in a rage and is met with Hayley who is confused. But, they pretty quickly figure out who the other is. Rebekah then starts screaming for Klaus.

He pops out and she's all, 'What did you do to our b...

The Mentalist 2X1: Redemptions

So, we're all kicked off the Red John case. And we're all pissed, but, obviously, no one as much as Jane. Once he realizes he can't argue his way back onto the case, he starts packing up his stuff claiming he has no more reason to stay.

However, he does grace the team with his presence for one last case, as he thinks it would mean to leave them in the lurch. (Plus, he doesn't think they can do their jobs without him. 100% rude, but kinda also 100% correct). He tells Lisbon as much and t...

The Americans 2X1: Comrades

Okay, so I'm annoyed that I don't remember as much as I wanted to. Mostly because this episode is really good, and it would have been even better if I wasn't connecting incredibly vague dots. Lol.

Elizabeth is back home after recuperating from her gunshot last episode. It also happens to be Henry's birthday weekend, so the kids are a little upset when they go out on a 'date' instead of staying home with them. However, the date is really just a cover for them to go scare the hell out of ...

Arrow 8X8: Crisis on Infinite Earths Hour Four

Okay, so I have no idea what the hell was going on in this episode. To be fair, it's now been, like, 3 or 4 days since I've seen it and I'm even more unsure now. Lol. But, I'm pretty sure we win. And Oliver died again. But, there is still one more crossover to go, so 🤷‍♀️

As promised, one Wikipedia description of Arrow:

In a flashback to the planet Maltus 10,000 years ago, Mar Novu experiments with time travel to see the dawn of time, only to accidentally end up in the an...

The Fosters 3X7: Faith, Hope, Love

OMG, I hate it so much. Please, I beg of you TV gods, give Callie a fucking break. This poor girl tries so hard and no matter what she does, she keeps getting screwed over. Also, Stef, you're a cop. You didn't check to make sure that restraining order was actually expunged!

So, AJ's brother seems pretty keen to get him out of this situation he's in with Mike. AJ keeps telling him that he's wrong and it's a good place, and Mike's a good guy. But then, after the whole kissing Callie after...

Schedule May 26-30

Hello, hello. Happy Monday.

You guys, I did absolutely nothing I was supposed to this weekend. I just couldn't force myself to stop watching Taskmaster. And, of course, I was already behind. I cannot seem to catch up. (This is 100% not correlated to Taskmaster in bed all weekend. And this morning.) Plus, I forgot that Dan had today off, so I'm also trying to do as little as possible today as well. (It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that we went out last night and didn't get ...

True Blood 6X3: You're No Good

I'm really enjoying S6 so far. I'm more than a little surprised.

So Eric kidnaps the governor's daughter. He has plans to kill her, but she proves she can be useful, and tells Eric about the experiments the government is doing with the vampires. They aren't just rounding them up and killing them, or jailing them. Nope. They are at some sort of research facility where they are being experimented on.

Bill, desperate to save Jessica (and the other vampires) heads over to Sookie's. H...

The Flash 6X9: Crisis on Infinite Earths Hour Three

Okay. I'm going to use a Wikipedia for this. Not because I'm out of time. For two reasons though: One, I could, never, ever explain this properly where it would actually make sense. And two, I've already watched the next episode and there is zero chance I'll be able to keep them straight in my mind. (But that one is gonna get a Wikipedia too, because I 100% have no idea what happened. Somehow the most confusing episode of this crossover, was Arrow. 🤷‍♀️)

Ray Palmer's "Paragon D...
