The Mentalist 1X23: Red John's Footsteps

Okay, so, we’ve finally gotten the Red John episode that I knew was coming. And I’m kind of disappointed, to be honest. Don’t get me wrong. I really enjoyed this episode (plus, I actually got some predicts correct- go fucking me), but I think I’ve built up what I wanted from a Red John episode too much in my head and it couldn’t possible compete. So basically, I just screwed myself over. Sigh.

Anyway, we catch a case that is a Red John signature. Cho (I think it was Cho) tries...

The Fosters 3X6: Its My Party

Okay, so this wasn't my favorite episode, but I also don't have anything bad to say about it.

It's Callie's birthday and they've planned a small party with the family, Robert, and Sophia. The morning of, Callie asks the moms if she can buy herself a car for her birthday, but they shoot her down. They tell her she doesn't have enough for a safe car and then she'd have to pay for insurance and gas, which they are concerned she also can't afford.

Mariana, then, presents her with $600...

Prison Break 3X12: Hell or High Water

Fuck this episode was so good. I fucking loved it. And of course Michael didn't screw up. Of course it was a plan.

Also, I reacted to this so long ago, I forgot I didn't actually do the description and post it. So here is yet another Wikipedia shame of mine. Sigh. 😳

The first three run towards the fence; but the lights go back on and Lechero is shot. The guards enter the no man's land and rush inside the prison. They start torturing Bellick, who finally breaks and shows the un...

Hart of Dixie 1X16: Tributes & Triangles

It's MOTY time! For those not in the know, we're choosing BlueBell's Man of the Year. Apparently, Zoe's dad won something like 10 years in a

It's MOTY time! For those not in the know, we're choosing BlueBell's Man of the Year. Apparently, Zoe's dad won something like 10 years in a row, and the town thinks that this year, it's going to be Brick. (The town has a penchant for doctors, apparently). Everyone is shocked to discover that the winner is George. When Brick inquires as to why, he ...

The Originals 1X1: Always and Forever

Okay, so don't get mad. But I feel like this episode was kind of a waste of time. I 100% understand (everyone who is watching this show has not necessarily seen TVD), but I sort of wish I'd just watched the second episode. I feel like I only got, like 5 minutes of new information.

New things we learned:

• Sophie (Jane Anne's sister) tells us that she and Hayley and linked. If anything happens to her, it also happens to Hayley (you know, the werewolf that's carrying Klaus' ba...

The Vampire Diaries 5X1: I Know What You Did Last Summer

Okay, so, this episode was mostly fine. I think it suffered a bit from how much I really loved the S4 finale. Plus, I don't generally love when our high school characters graduate and go to college. It's generally too big of a tone shift for me. That said, it wasn't a bad episode.

Bonnie has been the summer continuing to lie to everyone (via texts sent from Jeremy) about the status of her aliveness. She refuses to tell anyone that she's dead because she doesn't want to ruin their good t...

Batwoman 1X9: Crisis on Infinite Earths Hour Two

I'm actually kind of shocked. I was expecting to be 100% confused, as I really don't know anything about Batwoman (at least I've been introduced to most of the others before in other crossovers), but this was so specific to the crossover, that I was just happily along for a ride that I understood. Lol.

Okay, so we're on the hunt for the 7 paragons. Pretty sure we already know that Oliver is one. In this episode we find out that Kara and Sara are both paragons as well. We know two more w...

The Mentalist 1X22: Blood Brothers

Okay, I'm a little disappointed. I really thought we would get some mention of Red John at the end of this episode, because I'm sure he's showing up next episode.

Either way, we've got a dead kid at a camp for troubled teens. (I'm very against these, so hopefully I wasn't over biased, it didn't help that the guy in charge was literally have sex with one of the students). The school and the local cops are at odds with each other, both sort of blaming the other for the death.

Jane s...

The Fosters 3X5: Going South

I felt very stupid not being about to figure out why Callie might be going to Mexico. In hindsight, I could think of lots of things, but in the moment I had no idea. I knew it wasn't to get an abortion, but couldn't guess what for. That said, hang gliding would not have made the list.

Okay, so Callie wakes Brandon up in the middle of the night telling him she needs his help, but giving him no details other than they need his car. She drives them to Mexico because she wants to do somethi...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 4X8: Born to Be Brave

This is it, you guys. I'm assuming there will not be a S5. However, I think they ended it in a satisfying way while leaving the door open for stuff in the future.

So, Ricky tells Gina he knows her secret. And that he's proud of her and she, of course, has to go and do this movie. She's relieved that he's being cool about it, but also a little disappointed that he didn't fight for her to stay. The two of them seem like they are most of the second act, so we see them on stage and it real...

Hart of Dixie 1X15: Snowflakes & Soulmates

Okay, so just a heads up, my internet went out with about 90 seconds left in the episode. So annoying. And it was out for about 4 hours. I've lived her about 5 years. In the first four years, my internet went out once. It's been out half a dozen times this year already. Hopefully the disruption is minimal for you. Sigh.

It's snowing in BlueBell! Which makes Zoe pleased, but no one else is happy. Apparently snow means back things in BlueBell.

First Didi starts freaking out because ...

Prison Break 3X11: Under and Out

Ugh. I was so annoyed at the end of this episode. They have 30 seconds from the time the lights go out until the back up generators come one. Michael wasted like 7 or 8 of those by waiting until the lights went out to give instructions. Time is of the essence people. We don't have a nanosecond to spare!

Okay, so we're still busy digging on the tunnel. But, as we're getting closer to finishing, we sort of start to spring some leaks. Michael rushes upstairs and they realize it's pouring a...

The Vampire Diaries 4X23: Graduation

I loved this finale. I'm not entirely sure I understood the ending of the episode, but who the fuck cares. This was a wild ride and such a fun way to spend 44 minutes.

Okay, so, Caroline is determined for everyone to have a normal, happy graduation (no surprise there) and basically bullies everyone into showing up. Unfortunately, Bonnie is dead, but since the veil is still down, she has the opportunity to go. And she makes sure to say good bye like things to her friends as Grams suggest...

9-1-1 8X18: Seismic Shifts

Okay, so I stupidly thought I could make it without tissues. Again. Why do I keep doing this to myself? Lots of tears towards the end of this. Also, am I the only one who found it odd that Hen would make Eddie BBQ for his going away party? He lives in Texas. We should have sent him off with some sushi or something. Lol.

Anyway, we've got this collapsed building with Athena finding two guys trapped beneath rubble. It's cart cop and the laundry room couple, but the girlfriend is fine. How...

The Mentalist 1X21: Miss Red

Dude. It annoyed the hell out of me that nothing ever came from Rigsby's illness. I was sure the medication was going to kill him or something. Nope. It really was just the catalyst to Jane starting to understand what was happening, but I really wanted more from that.

Anyway, they catch a case of a missing super rich CEO of a company. There's blood on his boat, but he's not. Lisbon and Jane actually seem to clue in at the same time that he's weighed down with the anchor. They pull him ...

Supergirl 5X9: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Hour One

Okay, there is zero chance they'll kill off Oliver on someone else's shows. However, they also married Oliver on someone else's show, so what the hell do I know? Also, I was so confused about what was actually happening. It takes way too long before I stop going, 'Huh?' 'What is happening right now?' Plus, I need to know the background drama between the woman who opened the portal and way Kara and other lady were mean to her.

We're only, like, Earth 38 or something when we find out that...

The Fosters 3X4: More Than Words

Okay, so Lena's family is coming for dinner, and she's ready to confront her brother about him calling her mom the N-word, like, 20 years ago or something. And Lena is still pissed about it. Especially since he never apologized. Her mom just wants Lena to let it go, but she can't. And dad never even knew it happened. However, we find out that brother is bringing his girlfriend, and Lena's mad about that too because now she's not sure how to approach this with company in the house.

And i...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 4X7: The Night of Nights

I'm so fucking pissed off at Gina's mom. Why? You know you're starting trouble. You're a grown ass adult. Even if you felt it was your place to tell Ricky, there is zero reason to do it like a bitch.

So, it's opening night and Gina and Ricky are trying to talk to each other, but they run out of time. He's ready to tell her that he loves her, and she needs to tell him about getting the part in Quinn's new movie (which means she'll be in New Zealand for six months). They make a plan to me...

Schedule May 19-23

Hello, hello. Happy Sunday. Probably.

So, we've got some stuff happening this week. We finish The Vampire Diaries S4. And we start The Originals. This will follow the same schedule as The Vampire Diaries. Twice a week for Book Stack, Tuesdays and Thursdays (generally speaking, if the watch order dictates it-occasionally we might be a little off, but I'll let you know in advance) and Tuesdays for Novel.

We finish High School Musical: The Musical: The Series this week. And I'm much ...

True Blood 6X2: The Sun

Okay, so we've got an actual fairy godfather. Turns out, he's the one that Jason has been in the car with, not Warlow. He takes him back to Sookie's house so he can inspect the portal where Warlow came through. He hops into it, is gone for a couple of minutes and pops back out telling Jason it's worse than he thought.

Eventually Sookie comes home and they explain to her that Warlow killed his parents and they have some life long feud with this guy. However, he explains to Sookie that sh...

Arrow 8X7: Purgatory

Okay, so we're on Lian Yu, trying to do the last job the Monitor wants from us. Apparently, there is some sort of energy surge on this island, and our job is to harness it by building this weapon. However, we don't have the plutonium we need, so Rene, Dinah, and Roy are flying it over. Oh, Dinah can apparently fly a plane. Who knew?

Unfortunately, as soon as they see the plane, a missile tries to blow it out of the sky. William (I think it was William) has some GPS on it and can see tha...

The Mentalist 1X20: Red Sauce

I'm sorry, Jane bought a fucking pony?! And I could not stop laughing about it. It was perfectly insane. I love it so much.

Okay, so it's Lisbon's birthday and Jane is able to guess what everyone bought her before she opened it, because of course he can. He doesn't have a gift for her, but insists it's on the way. She doesn't seem to believe him, but also doesn't really seem to care.

Then, they get a call to go see a dead guy. Jane pretty much immediately figures out that he works...

The Fosters 3X3: Déjà Vu

Okay, this episode was so much better than the previous one. Also, I feel stupid for sort of just thinking that both Jude and Connor were fine after getting shot at. I didn't even think about them having much trauma from it. I'm an idiot.

So A.J. is staying in Jesus' bed until we can get Mike's foster license sorted out. Both Callie and Brandon are wary of him, but he's putting up a good front with the parents. He's getting along very well with with Mike and it's really stressing Brando...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 4X6: Trust the Process

This was absolutely delight. It totally could have been the series finale and I'd have been happy.

So, after Gina and Ricky find out that the HSM3 musical was cancelled, everyone reminisces about how they ended up in the drama club. Ashlyn and Kourtney made a pact to do it together, Carlos was getting bullied and Miss Jenn took care of it for him (and then made him her assistant), Gina and Ricky inadvertently both convinced the other to join. It's just really fucking sweet.

We al...

Prison Break 3X10: Dirt Nap

So, we're back to S1. There are way too many people involved in this plan. Every step we keep adding people. Bellick? Seriously? I hate this.

I'm also very tired. I'm so behind since I spend all of last night and most of this morning reading fan fic. I know. I know. I suck. But Alex and Henry won't be denied. So, are you getting a Wikipedia of Prison Break? Of course you are. Yes, yes; I suck. Feel free to tell me in the comments.

Having dealt with the symptoms, Mahone is back to ...

Hart of Dixie 1X14: Aliens & Aliases

Okay, so, if we could just get Lemon drunk every episode, she'd be so much more likable!

I feel so bad for Zoe in this episode. Lavon asks her to help him figure out why Didi has been avoiding him after they slept together. When she shows up at George's office, Didi shows her the picture of Lemon she found under his desk. And she doesn't know what to do since George is her boss (and she likes. him), so should she tell him the truth?

Zoe asks her to keep quiet while she heads over...

The Vampire Diaries 4X22: The Walking Dead

There is zero chance Bonnie is actually dead, right? I feel like this is just trying to teach her some kind of lesson to stop playing with dark magic.

Elena is still busy being obsessed with killing Katherine. She won't be talked out of it, but no one will tell her where Katherine is.

And where she is, is magically linked to Bonnie. Bonnie is doing the spell to drop the veil. And she needs Katherine near her for some reason (I cannot remember why). However, while Bonnie is concen...

Arrow 8X6: Reset

Okay so I loved this episode. But I've LOVED S8 so I'm sure you guys are tired of me saying that. But, I've already watched 8X7 so get ready to hear it some more. (That's a subtle way of telling you that this description might be mixed up with the following episode 🤣).

So Oliver and Laurel both get stuck in a time loop. In which Oliver thinks, they need to save Quintin (oh yeah, he's alive now) from getting killed adn maybe also keep a bomb from going off.

Each iteration of the...

The Mentalist 1X19: A Dozen Red Roses

Okay, so, yes; I know this is late. I may have accidentally found a new Red White and Royal Blue fic that I haven't read and have been in a rabbit hole. Which is awful because a) I have so much to do and b) I just got the third book in the 'They Both Die at the End' trilogy, and if I'm reading anything right now; it should be that. 😳

So, we're back to the 'red' titles. Huzzah. However, I didn't love this episode. Maybe it's because Jane was so involved in the last episode, but it fe...

The Fosters 3X2: Father's Day

Eh, I didn't love this episode. I'm not really sure why.

So, Stef and Lena are hosting Mike, Connor's dad, and Donald for Father's Day at the house. Things are going mostly fine. Donald is trying to keep answers about him vague so he doesn't end up having to tell people that he was in jail (mostly for Jude's sake, not so much his).

Unfortunately, Connor's dad continues to be Connor's dad. He mentions to Lena that he read an article that claims it's sometimes better for kids to n...
