Arrow 7X6: Due Process

Ugh. Things are going too well. I can't help but think something is got going to turn out properly with this Oliver deal. And I think it might end up being squirrely guy's fault.

Okay, so Diaz is now trying to blow up star City because Oliver loves it, so he figures it will piss him off. So much for using the city as a villain safe haven. Felicity figures out where the explosives are, but there are two and they need to be disarmed at the same time. So, Felicity heads to one, Curtis to t...

The Fosters 1X20: Metropolis

This is what what I thought I was getting to the lead up to the season finale, but it was so good!

So, Wyatt's back. However, it turns out, he doesn't actually have a place to stay. Nor is he enrolled in school right now. He thought he had a place, but ended up needed to stay in his car. Until it got towed, at least. It seems obvious that he wants to get back together with Callie, and she doesn't seem opposed.

Who does seem opposed, though, is Brandon. He's jealous from the second...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 2X1: New Year's Eve

Okay, I had no idea what was going to happen for S2. It seemed like this should have been a limited series. Then they were all like, we're gonna be HSM 2. And I was, like, cool. Makes sense. But now we're doing Beauty and Beast. Which fine. But what makes this HSM?

So Jenn runs into her high school boyfriend while she and Carlos are out shopping for HSM 2 costumes. Because, you know, it's a period piece. Huh? (Will report back after I watch this on Friday). It turns out, he's some big d...

Shameless 11X9: Survivors

Okay, so we are really come up to the end here. And minus a couple of scenes, this didn't really seem like a show in it's 11th season, with only 3 episodes to go. I feel like we should be wrapping up more stuff. Liam has a place to live, Debbie feels okay with weekly dinners, and everything else was just kind of filler.

Frank is running around trying to get his old crew together for a last heist. He wants to use the money to buy the Gallagher house from Lip. But he realizes all his old ...

Prison Break 2X15: The Message

I was so annoyed about the body language analysis, as I typically thinks that's mostly BS. But, I love the way this was played. Also, I'm not surprised, but I am upset, that Mahone figured out what was going on so quickly. After all this time, I'm used to him being smarter than I feel like he should. Plus, it's not like he's not a victim himself here.

So, they leave the motel by Kellerman forcing the issue claiming he is FBI and he is transporting him. It doesn't really work, but they m...

The Vampire Diaries 4X5: The Killer

I was so sure that we were going to have Connor all season. (Although, since I learned his name, I guess I should have known better). But that also answers my question of what happens when a hunter dies. Oh, and we're also journaling again? Fun.

Okay, I know that he's just trying to protect Elena, but Stefan is actively making things worse by not telling her (or Damon) what the hell is going on with Klaus. It's like he hasn't been in this show. They never let things go. If you don't jus...

9-1-1 8X10: Voices

If I wasn't so used to characters on this show being practically dead and then fine a few episodes later, I'd be a lot more annoyed at Maddie living through this. I cannot imagine she not only lived, but could talk shortly after her surgery. After her throat get completely slit open?

Anyway, Maddie wakes up chained to the floor with her hands duct taped together, face down on a dirty mattress. Amber starts talking about how she chloroformed her and just generally is being crazy.

M...

Arrow 7X5: The Demon

I don't really understand how this evidence is going to get Oliver out of prison, but I'm here for it. Unless we've somehow got evidence that he covered for someone else and claimed to the Green Arrow, what is there to get him off with. And if that's the case, does immunity still stand for everyone else?

Anyway, Oliver is down on Level Two with no access to visitors. Which, Felicity doesn't find out until she shows up. But, thankfully, that squirrely little guy is down there and he give...

Outlander 7X10: Brotherly Love

Okay, I knew there was zero chance of Jamie actually showing up in this episode, but I did not expect this to be why! I mean, I agree with Claire. I'm sure he's fine, she'd know if something happened, but still, watching her was heartbreaking.

So, we start with Claire and Ian already in Philadelphia. It's been maybe five weeks or so since they left Lallybroch (as least as far as I can tell). Claire heads right over to fix up Lord John's nephew and that seems to go pretty well. She knows...

The Fosters 1X19: Don't Let Go

Okay, so I feel like I was half right. I was sure that Callie went to see her dad to make sure he didn't hurt Jude, and she did. But, I think she also went to try to get a little bit of closure for herself as well.

So when she goes to see him, he tells her that he wanted to get the two of them back, but it takes time to get a job and a decent place to live after you've been in prison. And he couldn't ask anything from them before he had everything in place. He really does want them, but...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 1X10: Act Two

Ugh. She just got Ricky back and now she needs to decide between him and drama school? That's such a shitty thing for a teenager. As an adult, you know which is probably the right decision, but everything always feels like or death when you're an adolescent.

So, it turns out that Ricky asking E.J. to take his place wasn't because he was upset that this mom brought her boyfriend and he couldn't perform, but that he heard about the dean coming to observe Nini. And he wanted her to be show...

Drunk Re-Watch New Girl 2X19: Quick Hardening Caulk and 4X14: Swuit

I ramble quite a bit at the start. Skip to 3:45 if you don't wanna listen to me.

Also, I included a random bonus surprise at the end. That I was very drunk for by that point.

Schedule March 17-21

Hello, hello. Happy Saturday.

This week we finish S1 of The Fosters. I know I always say this, but it's going so fast! We also start S2 of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. (Seriously, who thought up this name? I was actually planning on watching HSM 2 yesterday before my drunk re-watch, but I ran out of time. I'm planning to watch it this coming Friday and it going up sometime over next weekend.

And speaking of drunk re-watches, we've got a New Girl one that will post...

True Blood 5X5: Let's Boot and Rally

Okay. I don't even know if I like this show, but I refuse to let it win. This show will not be smarter than me. If millions of people can understand, I can too (except I kinda don't). Also, I'm slightly tipsy as I write this. I'm doing a drunk re-watch in 90 minutes.

So, Sookie is about to have sex with Alcide (or maybe just blow him), when she pukes all over him, which is witnessed by both Bill and Eric. Afterwards, they explain to her that she needs to go into parking garage guy's min...

Outlander 7X9: Unfinished Business

Ha ha. This bitch thought she was gonna make it through an episode of Outlander without crying. But I feel like I'm gonna be so confused with 3 timelines. If we just stick to really 2 an episode like we did here, I should be fine.

Okay, so we're back at Lallybroch. They're happy. I'm happy. Jenny and Young Ian are sort of happy. Why? It turns out Ian has consumption (which I had to double check was TB) and there really isn't anything Claire can do for him. So we have to watch him be ve...

Arrow 7X4: Level Two

Fuck. I don't know exactly what is going on with Oliver and this doctor, but him claiming he is now Inmate 4587 can't be a good sign. Unless it's an act. Please, Oliver, let it be an act.

So, this asshole doctor (do we think he's the demon?) is busy trying to reprogram Oliver's brain so that he'll be nothing like his father was. And, while I agree, that what Oliver's dad did to him was majorly fucked up, that has nothing to do with what is happening here. All we are doing is successfull...

The Fosters 1X18: Escapes and Reversals

Jesus. You cannot break up with your girlfriend via email. Although, I do commend you for attempting to break up with her as soon as you realized you had feelings for someone else. It ended up getting all messed, but I think you maybe tried to do the right thing.

So, Jesus breaks up with Lexi via email, only to come down to breakfast and find her at the table. The whole family was in on the surprise (although how she was allowed into the country, I have no idea) and boy was it a surpris...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 1X9: Opening Night

Dude. I was so not happy when we found out Gina wasn't gonna make it. I was so sure she was gonna figure out how to stay (I'm sure she can stay with one of these kids, right?) and then they just told us she already left? No, thank you. Luckily, she does manage to turn up eventually.

So, on opening night, Miss Jenn texts Kourtney to fill in for Gina. She and Nini are super excited, but Kourtney is also scared. She doesn't know the lines, or the choreography. She does fine in the scenes (...

Shameless 11X8: Cancelled

So, Lip is questioned by the police over his involvement in the robbery at BornFree. But, Lip knows they have nothing on him, and he's smart enough to get them to let him leave. However, Carl tells him they are getting a warrant to search the house. Thankfully, Carl also told Tami and she got rid off all the stuff before the cops showed up. However, they now want to question Brad, who absolutely cannot stand up to being questioned. He's ready to confess and crying on Lip and Tami's couch. Tam...

Prison Break 2X14: John Doe

God damnit. We were so fucking close. Steadman is dead? What the fuck are we supposed to do now?

So, Michael and Lincoln have decided to stick with Kellerman, at least for the time being. He's taking them to Steadman, which will prove that Lincoln didn't kill him since, you know, he's alive. (Or, well, he was).

Kim is tipped off just in time and as we're loading Steadman into the car, they realize it's Kellerman and the brothers. After Kellerman threatens to shoot the protective ...

The Vampire Diaries 4X4: The Five

Alright, so, it seems like The Five were these original, superpower vampire hunters from back in, like, the 1100s. But, they haven't been seen in 900 years. And now we've got Owen (I finally learned his name, so he'll probably be dead soon).

Klaus has him chained up trying to get info out of him, but he's not talking. Turns out, the person who actually has information that they can use is Rebekah, but she and Klaus are not really on speaking terms right now, and she's unwilling to help...

Replacing Shameless

So, we're finally at this point. It's been 11 seasons, but it's time to replace Shameless. I've put some things I want to watch and some things you guys have suggested. Also, we've got some stuff that came close in other polls but didn't win. Let me know what sounds good. Multiple options abound.

This is Tuesdays and Thursdays for Book Stack and above (2X/week), and Thursdays for Novel (1X/week).

Sons of Anarchy 5X13: J'ai Obtenu Cette

I didn't even attempt to pronounce this title. But, on the plus side, I knew it was French. 🤷‍♀️

Also, have we ever seen Clay look as betrayed as when he looked at Juice when the cops showed up for him? Fuck as much as I hate Clay, and want him to suffer, that look hurt. Plus, I want to say I'm surprised that Gemma would do this, but who are we kidding. Tara fucked around and found out.

So, after I spent so long being sure that Jax wouldn't hand Tig over to Pope, he did. ...

Arrow 7X3: Crossing Lines

I didn't really realize that I didn't like this episode while I was watching it. But, when I did the discussion afterwards, I had a lot of complaints. Lol.

So, we've got one of those 12 hours earlier episodes, which I typically like. We see Oliver getting blood all over a guard. And then we flashback.

To John, Lyla, and Curtis. In Switzerland. They are trying to infiltrate some bank to find out about their shady practices. I don't really care about this. I don't know what it is wi...

The Fosters 1X17: Kids in the Hall

Ugh. I feel terrible. I 100% blamed the theft (even though I didn't know what was stolen) on Juvie. (Yes, I still don't know her name. I suck).

So Callie wants to got to Juvie's apartment, but Lena and Stef aren't comfortable with her being without parental supervision, so she invites Juvie and Kiara over to her house. They have a decent enough lunch. But Juvie is struggling. Independent living is hard. They don't give them enough money and she can't find a job because she was in and ou...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 1X8: The Tech Rehearsal

So I think this was my least favorite episode so far. I'm sorry.

We get the aftermath of Miss Jenn and robotics teacher letting the fire spread. It took out the entire theatre and ruined a bunch of the props and costumes. They brainstorm other places to hold the show and Carlos comes up with a nearby theatre that his uncle owns (?). Miss Jenn does not seem happy about this, but she pretends to be excited for the kids.

They pack up what they can and head over. Nothing works, everyt...

It's Drunk Re-watch Time Again

Hello, hello.

As I spoke about in my schedule this week, it's time for another drunk re-watch. This is for Book Stack and above. I'm going to do a show that was recommended to replace Shameless, but it's one I've already seen. After a winner has been chosen, I will do a random number generator to pick an episode.

Full disclosure: Yes I've seen all of these, but you know that my memory sucks. I do not promise to remember any of this. 😳

This will go up this weekend. Most li...

Shameless 11X7: Two at a Biker Bar, On in the Lake

Alright, so we're all still fighting about selling the house. Lip is 100% for it; Debbie is 100% against it, and it seems like everyone else could be swayed.

So, whatever dumbass reason, Mickey and Ian decide that they need friends. I'm not on board with this. Why? It's not like they are bored on a Saturday night looking for things to do. But anyway, off they go to try to find some gay friends. Which turns into hand jobs in a sauna, a bunch of food, and an orgy (plus a pre orgy dance pa...

Prison Break 2X13: The Killing Box

This was such a good episode. Definitely my favorite in a while. Not that any of these episodes have been bad, but this one was just so good.

So, the border agents end up showing up and taking Mahone's kill away from him. Needless to say, Kim is not happy about this turn of events and wants him to murder them immediately. However, they are in police custody in a police station, so that's not really an option. Mahone tries to angle himself to get in the transport van with them (they are ...

The Vampire Diaries 4X3: The Rager

I'm so ready for these guys to be out of school. It feels like they should have graduated, like, two seasons ago.

Anyway, vampire hunter is busy trying to fuck shit up. Turns out, that tattoo he's got is only visible to hunter and future hunters. How in the world can Jeremy being a future hunter? He's all cuddled up with the vampires? But, I suppose, technically, Alaric was a hunter too, and he spent half his time fighting with and protecting Damon and Stefan. Still feels weird though.<...
