High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 4X5: Admissions

I was a little disappointed with this episode. Mostly because we are so close to the end right now, that I really want everyone together. But we're all so spread out right now. However, we did get E.J., which was fun. And Ricky and Gina fixed things, so that's good too.

So, after the Gina debacle, Ricky heads over to hang out with E.J. at college. This kid is working 4 jobs to try to make things work as his dad wasn't impressed enough by the documentary to help him out. Totally fucked u...

Hart of Dixie 1X13: Sweetie Pies & Sweaty Palms

Okay so it's almost 10:30pm here. I'm using a really shitty Wikipedia for this.

Here's the truth. I have another 90 minutes to move all my stuff from Vimeo to Dropbox before they charge me another $700 that I do not have. I am 100% not going to make it. I have another 6 hours to go. I see no reality in which 6 hours can turn into 90 minutes. Sigh.

So in 85 minutes I'm going to cancel Vimeo. Only about 40% of the stuff is transferred over. I've been trying to do it in terms of pop...

Prison Break 3X9: Boxed In

Okay, so Michael leaving Sona just means he leaves the building, and gets to stay in a box outside instead. That said, I can see how this is worse.

First, Michael gets dragged into the general's office and is asked about his escape attempts. Michael denies everything. When he won't talk, they stick him in a hot box. Just a tiny box, wrapped in plastic wrap that bakes in the sun. There is zero chance this is legal. He'll 100% die if they leave him in there for more than a few days. And t...

Okay, so the brothers are busy trying to torture humanity out of Elena. I don't know if this is the way to go, but it doesn't matter since it didn't work. Eventually, Elena catches on to the fact that they won't actually hurt her. And she sets out to prove it but lighting herself on fire. Damon and Stefan immediately rush over to put her out and ru...

9-1-1 8X17: Don't Drink the Water

Okay, so, is this show just gonna keep Bobby in every episode? I'm fine with it for the rest of the season, but going forward, if you kill off a character, make it count. (Not that I want Bobby to be dead, I'm just saying).

Eddie is still here (Yay!) but he and Buck get into a fight which I initially thought came out of nowhere, but after listening to Eddie, I get it. Buck is busy sulking (100% his right), but Eddie is suffering too and he's upset that Buck doesn't seem to have checked ...

Arrow 8X5: Prochnos

You guys. How is S8 so good? I do not understand. What show is still good (if not better than the previous few seasons) at this point in time? I don't even know how to deal with it. Plus, you guys know that I am such a Roy whore. Fingers crossed he's back for the rest of the season.

So William and Mia are still here and, in what seems like an attempt to bond with them, Oliver brings them to Russia with him. However, he's determined to keep them away from the Bratva and his life when he ...

The Mentalist 1X18: Russet Potatoes

I want it known that I initially remembered this episode title as Sack of Potatoes. I was very disappointed when I doubled checked to see that I was wrong. Lol.

Okay, so, this dude lugs a bag down the street to the police station while repeating a mantra to himself. Once he gets there, he's dragging it along the floor with obvious blood stains behind it. Lisbon (and some other cops as well) pull guns on him and demand him to give himself up. He's very confused, as he thinks he's bringin...

The Fosters 3X1: Wreckage

I feel cheated. There were no fatalities. Everyone is just fine. Well, alive. Everyone is alive.

Both Jesus and Ana were injured in the accident. It seems like Jesus is fine (he's off at boarding school and we don't see him) and Ana ended up in some kind of brace, but both she and baby are okay. Ana has decided to keep the baby and live with her parents. However, since she's injured, Mariana has been spending all her time over there trying to help with the baby. Eventually, Ana tells he...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 4X4: Trick or Treat

I told the two of them that not telling anyone about this relationship was going to blow up in their faces. That said, Ricky being upset that Gina's mom doesn't know about him is valid. But, Gina should have told me they actually did have to keep it from her because she said no dating this year. Everything is such a mess right now.

Gina is having a Halloween party and she decides she's got to tell Ricky about her fake relationship with Mack, Ricky, meanwhile decides he's got to tell Gin...

Schedule May 12-16

Hello, hello. Happy Saturday.

You guys. Newark airport sucks right now. And we got off lucky. Our flight was delayed 4 hours and then we sat on the tarmac for almost an hour before we took off. But, since a ton of flights got cancelled, I guess we did okay? Either way, we had a lovely time. Our friends are amazing and we missed them. I wish we could figure out how to get there more often. Sigh. Oh, and I chatted with one of our friends about Arrow (she's a big fan). She tried to convinc...

True Blood 6X1: Who Are You, Really?

You guys, I really, really enjoyed this episode. Maybe I'll be someone who likes the latter seasons of True Blood better than the earlier ones. 🤷‍♀️ But not enough to actually write the description myself. Yes, I know stealing from Wikipedia for True Blood is basically the norm now. But, it's typically the last thing I do for the week, and by that point, it's easy to convince myself that I've earned this. Sigh.

Picking up right where Season 5 ended, Sookie, Eric, Jason, Jessica...

Arrow 8X4: Present Tense

I think this was my favorite episode of this season so far. And this has been a really good season. Just having everyone together in the same timeline was delightful.

Okay, so, at first, we try to keep the truth about what's happening in 2040 from Team Arrow. But, it doesn't take long until we have to spill the beans in order to explain other necessary things. It's no surprise that Mia is very standoffish with Oliver, but he and William get along much better. I mean, they do have a hist...

The Mentalist 1X17: Carnelian, Inc.

Guys. I figured out the secret. If I just suspect everyone at different points during the episode, and I'm bound to be right! 🤣

Okay, so we've got a strange email that tells us to show up at specific coordinates at a specific time because something bad is going to happen. And it does. As they are waiting, a body falls out of the sky.

Apparently, some company was on an adventure retreat and during their skydiving outing, his chute didn't open and he fell to his death. The instru...

The Fosters 2X21: The End of the Beginning

Ugh. I was so concerned about their being a custody war for Ana's baby between Stef and Lena, and the grandparents, that I didn't even think that Ana might want to keep the baby. If the baby lives, anyway.

Okay, so Ana moves in, and now that Mariana knows that Stef and Lena are planning to take the baby, she needs to go tell the grandparents that they no longer need to adopt it. It all sort of seems like it's going okay, but then the grandparents show up at the house and tell Ana that s...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 4X3: A Star is Reborn

I refuse to believe that after Ricky and Gina did that first number, no one figured out they were together. Also, Ricky's hair is awesome.

So, it's time for the HSM3 table read. They plan to do it without Gina, since she's accepted Dani's role, but the actress playing Miss Darbus is late, so Gina is able to show up for the table read. However, we still have no Chad. But, Ricky surprises us by flying in Jet and Maddox. Jet is going to play Chad, and Maddox is going to work on the film a...

Prison Break 3X8: Bang & Burn

There isn't anywhere that can be worse than Sona, is there? Where the hell could Michael end up that's worse than this?

So we've decided 4 days, be damned. The bald guy has decided that isn't soon enough and wants to implement Bang & Burn. Susan strongly cautions him against it, as they don't have enough time to pull it all together, but he tells her he pays her to be an operative, not to advise him.

On the inside, Whistler knows they are coming to break him out (in spectacula...

Okay, so I'm feeling fairly confident this is a backdoor pilot for The Originals. And I'm not mad about it. Also, the sound track for this episode was spectacular.

Hart of Dixie 1X12: Mistresses & Misunderstandings

Okay, so as much as I didn't really care for the metaphor of Zoe and Annabeth's relationship as Zoe being her mistress, I did really enjoy the fact that Zoe had an actual friend. And I was so disappointed in Annabeth when she screwed Zoe over. Sigh.

So, Zoe is happy and bubbly and excited to be alive. Both Lavon and Wade attribute this to her finally dating someone. Wade is upset and Lavon convinces him to just go talk to her. So the two of them head over to Zoe's where it's obvious tha...

The Mentalist 1X16: Bloodshot

Okay, so this is the first episode that doesn't actual have a shade of red in the title. Although I suppose blood red could be considered a shade. But, I still jumped to thinking 'red' when I read the title, so I think it works. However, I also wonder if this means anything. I feel like I read into everything with this show!

So, as soon as Patrick gets to work, he gets a text from someone telling him that there is a large bomb nearby, and asking if he is smart enough to find out. He run...

Arrow 8X3: Leap of Faith

I'm pretty sure I said it last episode, but I really mean it, I'm amazed that this show is this good still. On episode 160 something. I'm astounded.

So, Oliver heads over to Nanda Parbat to try to get answers about Monitor guy. He's not really forth coming and we've decided if we are risking so much for this mission, we should at least learn a little more about it. While he's hanging out at his campsite, he's attacked by someone who is revealed to be Thea. Yay! I missed her!

The Fosters 2X20: Not That Kind of Girl

Okay, so after the cliff hanger last episode, it turns out Jude is fine. It was Connor that got shot. But it was only in the foot. He's gonna need surgery, but he'll be fine. But, when his dad asks why he was out doing something so dumb, he claims he snuck out to see Jude.

Dad then comes over and talks to Lena. Lena tells Jude and Stef that Connor told his dad everything was Jude's idea, and they aren't allowed to see each other anymore. Jude is very confused because, none of this was ...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 4X2: HSM vs HSM

Okay, so, we're ready to be featured extras! And by ready, I mean, ready. The choreographer quickly teaches them a segment and then tells them she'll break it down slowly for them. But, no need. Gina quickly leads them and they all get it right the first time.

Having planned for 2 hours of rehearsal, but needing very little of that (and seeing Gina is an excellent dancer), choreographer asks if she'll stand in for Dani while dancing with Mack. Dani is late, and they don't want to wait ...

Okay, so Ricky and Gina are officially dating, but are choosing to keep it a secret. This is 100% going to be an issue. It's only been one episode and it's already causing problems. I really hope they tell someone soon.

We find out that the show this year is going to be High School Musical 3 (which I'm watching later today). I'm so not surprised that they skipped 2 and when right to 3, 2 was awful. However, right after that, we find out that they are making High School Musical 4 at the ...
