Sons of Anarchy 5X12: Darthy

I hate that I feel bad for Wendy right now. But honestly, if I were her, I'd have preferred that Jax just kill me.

So it turns out that Bobby made a deal with Clay. He's got to confess to the invasions, but in exchange, Bobby will vote 'no' on killing him. And honestly, it's probably a good thing he made that deal. They voted him out without even giving it much thought. And it didn't take much for most of them (minus Juice) to vote to kill him. But Bobby, at the end of the table, has th...

Arrow 7X2: The Longbow Hunters

Um, why did I only get one episode of pink haired Felicity? The audacity. Also, why do Laurel and Dinah have so much screen time? They are my least favorite characters.

Anyway, Felicity is trying to do whatever she can to take down Diaz and is getting frustrated that John is doing everything all ARGUS-like. he keeps saying that while he sympathizes with Felicity, his main objective to to get back the weapon that Diaz managed to steal from ARGUS.

So, Felicity decides to try to hack...

The Fosters 1X16: Us Against the World

I was so sure that this scavenger hunt that Jude was on was not going to be from Callie and I was just waiting for his heart to get crushed. I'm so pleased that it didn't turn out that way. I feel mostly indifferent about Jude, but I don't want him to suffer.

So Callie is back at the Foster's. And Brandon is not. Apparently, the moms have now decided that it's fine if he moves in with Mike (even though they were appalled by the idea when he first suggested it). Callie seems very disappo...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 1X7: Thanksgiving

OMG. Carlos. How long did it take you to make this game? And the fact that you've never had anyone to play it with before now is sad.

So Ricky tries to take his dad advice and calls his mom. However, her boyfriend answers, which is so not what he was expecting (or wanting). He tries to put it out of his head and go to the after Thanksgiving party, but it's really weighing on him.

At the party, Nini runs into Ricky first and it seems like maybe she wants to try to reconnect, but th...

Schedule March 10-14

Hello, hello. Happy Saturday. (Unless you're a Rangers fan. We lost the last two games in OT. Sigh.)

So, we've got some changes this week.

The easy one: I'm moving 9-1-1 to Monday as opposed to Friday. It's just easier in my schedule to watch it on Monday. I try not to react on Fridays (unless I'm doing one off things like a movie or a drunk re-watch, so I can, you know, clean my apartment and generally just try to be a human) so I'm pushing this to Monday for the future. It'll ge...

9-1-1 8X9: Sob Stories

No thank you. I hate this. We were supposed to decide that there was no way Eddie could leave the 118 and go to El Paso; no matter how much Christopher is there. We were supposed to figure out how to get Christopher back here. Why do you hate me 9-1-1?

So we've got basically two storylines, again. Maddie dealing with this kidnapper who calls her claiming he's got a girl and doesn't want to hurt her, but he knows he will. He's been here before. Maddie promises him that she won't send the...

True Blood 5X4: We'll Meet Again

You guys, these descriptions take a decent amount of time for me. I don't usually mind doing them because it's usually a day or two after I watched and it's fun to relive the experience and see what was most memorable for me. But doing those for True Blood just zaps my soul. I never remember anything and often don't know what the hell is going on. 😳

So today, I take the easy way out. Here is what Wikipedia tells me happened. Can't win 'em all. Sigh.

Eric interrogates Pam regar...

Arrow 7X1: Inmate 4587

Holy fuck, you guys. I am going to watch this episode for the rest of my life just so I can admire pink haired, pierced Felicity. I'm obsessed. If I were a WLW, I'd be all over this.

Okay, so it seems like Oliver is trying to be on his best behavior so he can tried to get released early, but I'm pretty sure he got a life sentence, so I'm not sure how that works. But, it's been several months of him being in jail now, and he's just trying to get through one day to the next, keeping his h...

Sons of Anarchy 5X11: To Thine Own Self

Okay, I kind of loved the guys being so excited to be in that car zooming away from Nero's crew. They looked so happy. And there truly isn't a lot of happiness in this show. Also, I had a dream last night that I had just starting dating Bobby, but Clay didn't like it because he said I was old lady material. He's right, too.

Holy shit. So much happened in this episode, that I don't even know what to write here. This is probably going to be a mess.

So, Otto killing the nurse means R...

The Fosters 1X15: Padre

So, I think this was my least favorite episode so far. There wasn't even anything really wrong with it. I just didn't jive with it, I guess.

Stef dad has died and we spend the day throwing him a wake. The day starts with Stef, who's already upset, finding Lena's prenatal vitamins, so she's got that on her mind the whole day.

Callie is allowed to attend the funeral and the wake at the house. She and Jude spend a lot of time together, and we get this interspersed with flashback abou...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 1X6: What Team?

Okay, so I was sort of on board with Miss Jenn not being allowed to teach without a teaching certificate. I think it's silly for drama, but it's probably the law. I just assumed they could make her an 'advisor' or something. But then it turns out she does have one, but they don't like that it didn't come from a well known school. Screw that.

Anyway, Miss Jenn is suspended until the school board hearing and Carlos tries to keep things going in her absence, but he's constantly being under...

Shameless 11X6: Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good...Eh Screw It

Eh, this episode was fine enough.

Brad and Lip do end up having two six packs and enlisting Mickey to help them rob BornFree. But Mickey is annoyed as they really suck at stealing and have no idea what to do with the stolen goods afterwards. Mickey takes over a lot of the stuff and after he's given percentages of the profits away to everyone, Lip and Brad aren't left with much.

Frank is busy having sex with this woman who he is calling Monica. At first it's unclear if it's a dream...

Prison Break 2X12: Disconnect

I have zero idea how Sarah managed to get out of that bathtub. I can buy her pulling the plug, but then getting herself untied. I don't buy it.

So, it turns out, Michael really does know his dad. Apparently, after his dad left, Michael had been put into a foster home where he was neglected and beaten. At one point, his dad comes to save him and kills the guy who was doing it. But, Michael is very upset that his dad left the family and subjected him to that.

While they are arguing ...

The Vampire Diaries 4X2: Memorial

I'm so happy that Elena is struggling. Yes, I realize that sounds awful, and I don't actually want bad things for her, but I really thought she was gonna just become a vampire with zero repercussions.

So we start of with Stefan and Damon fighting about whether or not it's a good idea for Elena to eat animal blood. Stefan says she doesn't want to feel bad about herself and hurt people. Damon insists that if she subsists on animal blood, she'll end of binging later and not learning to co...

Arrow 6X23: Life Sentence

After all this, Diaz is still in the wind, Quintin is dead, and Oliver is in jail. Thanks. I hate it.

So, along with the FBI, we mount a concerted effort against Diaz, but he's continually one step ahead of us. First we end up in a trap. Felicity manages to delay the explosion just long enough for everyone to get out, but it's a really close call. We have to watch Rene call Zoe and say goodbye, as he's pretty sure he's gonna die. Not fun.

Then, Diaz calls Quintin and tells him to ...

Sons of Anarchy 5X10: Crucifixed

Okay so, the first thing we get it the police pulling Juice, which Jax sees, as he's been tailing him. But, for all the bluster Juice has when he pulled into the office, it basically dies when Eli tells him that Jax knows he's the rat. He suggests that Juice get out of town. But instead, he goes to see Jax. Jax, for her part acts like nothing is amiss, but Juice caves immediately telling him he knows that Jax knows. They discuss the situation and Jax offers him a penance, find the documents f...

The Fosters 1X14: Family Day

So it's Family Day and Brandon lobbies to be able to come. He claims that he just wants things to get back to normal. Stef and Lena are skeptical, but in the end allow him to come.

Leading up to that though, Juvie is getting ready to move into her apartment and Callie comes over to check it out and decides she wants to move into one as well.

Back at home, Lena and Stef tell Jude that they want to adopt him whether or not Callie gets adopted by them. They still want to adopt her a...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 1X5: Homecoming

Okay, I wasn't in love with this storyline for NIni and Kourtney, which is annoying because I love Kourtney. But, I was all in on Carlos and Seb. OMG. The cow got loose. I lost it at that. What an excellent excuse for being late.

Anyway, Nini and Kourtney decide to ditch the Homecoming dance and have an anti-dance girl's night out instead, which totally gets taken over Miss Jenn. The go to karaoke, but Nini doesn't want to sing, realizing that she only got this part, because she got the...

Shameless 11X5: Slaughter

So, Milkoviches are still Milkoviching. But now they are gutting deer in the yard, eating animal hearts, branding themselves with swastikas, putting severed heads in Liam's room. You know, fun shit.

Frank decides that they only way to stop the madness is to kill the old lady whose house it is. Then the house would go to the next of kin and they would kick the Milkoviches out. So, he sets up a Unite the Right rally which leaves the Milkovich house empty. When he sneaks in and unplugs the...

Prison Break 2X11: Bolshoi Booze

How in the world did Sucre figure out what Bolshoi Booze was? I can see Mahone, but Sucre? Really?

Anyway, Michael kind of loses his mind for a little while. He needs to steal a GPS (while he's buying fish oil) and then has a pang of guilt for everything he's done. He ends up in confession and tries to sort of make amends. Afterwards, he uses the GPS to find the meeting spot (Bolshoi Booze- which is actually coordinates) where he's going to trade the fish oil (which is supposed to be th...

The Vampire Diaries 4X1: Growing Pains

I'm not sure how I feel about Elena and her vampire-ness. At first I thought they were gonna just have Bonnie magically fix it, and I was not happy. But, then, when she did turn into a vampire, I thought the transition was too easy. And she accepted this as her fate too quickly. I hope we get more a struggle as we go forward. But, I LOVE petty Damon and all is comments about Stefan respecting her choices.

So, Elena wakes up having no idea she's in transition. Stefan and Damon have to ex...

Arrow 6X22: The Ties That Binds

OMG. I enjoyed this episode so much. It was fun and exciting and tense and stressful.

So, we start with everyone (minus Dinah), being domestic and happy. Oliver and William are cooking for Felicity, Dig and Lyla are about to go to a show, Curtis is showing Nick Helix, and Rene and his daughter are watching a hockey game. Only Dinah is out trying to track down Diaz, but to be fair, she's the only one who's alone right now.

But just as Oliver is sitting down to eat, Anatoly texts h...

Sons of Anarchy 5X9: Andare Pescare

Fuck. We were so fucking close. But of course, yet a-fucking-gain, Clay wins.

Jax and Clay are both desperate to find Frankie before the other. Clay, so he can kill him to make sure he keeps his mouth shut; and Jax so he can get the truth about Clay (and you know, trade him for the rat). Clay and Juice get to Frankie first. And Juice immediately tries to call Jax, but Clay manages to talk him out of it.

Word gets to Frankie that they are coming, and he immediately shoots the Ital...

The Fosters 1X13: Things Unsaid

So, Brandon is still playing the, you can't keep us apart game. To which his parents say, 'watch us,' and get a restraining order against him. He has to stay 100 feet away from her or end up in jail. Pretty extreme. But, in all honesty, I don't think he'd have been able to stay away otherwise.

At the group house, Callie gets told that she's got no more chances. If she breaks anymore rules, she's gone. But, it turns out, when Brandon was here last episode, he managed to slip her a phone....

Replacing Shameless

I've got quite a list going of stuff I wanna see (plus stuff from other polls that's gotten close), but what should I add to it?

The replacement show is twice a week for Book Stack and up, and once a week for Novel. Drop your suggestions below and I'll add them to the poll. Even if you've suggested them before. The only shows I'm putting back of my own accord are ones that almost won.

The first episode of this will start Tuesday, April 1st. I promise you that is not an April Fool'...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 1X4: Blocking

So, Ricky ends up being late for rehearsal as he's just found out his parents are splitting up. Meaning, E.J. has to step in as his understudy. But, Nini is pissed at him since he stole her phone and they have a horrifically awful time singing together. It's actually good, how terrible is was. Lol.

Ricky finally shows up, but with him being late and Nini and E.J. being awful, she just decides to call it a day. But, reminds them to leave their personal lives at home. However, when Ricky ...

Schedule March 3-7

Hello, hello. Happy Sunday. Yes, I realize that should have said Saturday, but I'm only me.

Okay, so, this week we finish S6 of Arrow. I do have S7 starting on Friday, but I haven't actually heard from the sponsor yet if they want to continue, so I'll keep you posted. That might end up changing. We also start S4 of The Vampire Diaries, which I am beyond excited about. I cannot with how they ended S3. Also, we are finally caught up with 9-1-1 and should now be watching in r...

True Blood 5X3: Whatever I Am, You Made Me

I'm still utterly confused as to how this show was a such a massive hit, while half the time I don't even understand what's going on. Why am I too stupid for this show? Why do I continue to torture myself? It makes me feel bad about myself. 🤣

I am really enjoying the Pam flashbacks, though. She begs Eric to turn her into a vampire and he refuses. So she slits her veins open and basically is like turn me or watch me die. I can only assume he's going to turn her. I really hope we get t...

9-1-1 8X8: Wannabes

I'm sort of surprised that this was a mid season finale. The only thing that seemed cliffhanger-y at all was Eddie thinking about moving to Texas. Also, I didn't really love this episode.

We had Athena running around chasing down the guy who beat up the cart kid. I'm a big proponent of putting your carts back at the grocery store. But that kid is insane. Just walk around knowing you're better than those people. Anyway, turns out the guy whose actual job it is to put the carts back is th...

Arrow 6X21: Docket No. 11-19-41-73

I was legit so confused when they won the case. I was all like, yay! we won. I forgot that the actual threat right now is Diaz and not Oliver going to jail. Lol.

So Oliver is on trial for being the Green Arrow. And the only non corrupt people in the courtroom seem to be the lawyers (and ex members of Team Arrow). It also doesn't help that Oliver is actually guilty. But, either way, they are mostly doing okay for a while. John and Felicity both lie and say Oliver is not the Green Arrow. ...
