Sons of Anarchy 5X8: Ablation

So, turns out, the kids are just fine. As it Gemma. Which is a little disappointing. I mean, I didn't want them to die, but we didn't really get a lot of drama out of it for how dramatically we ended the last episode.

Anyway, Tara has to cut her cooking time short to go help the boys transport the dead guy up to the cabin. Jax cuts off both his hands. He sends one to Unser and one to Pope to identify him. He's basically nobody. They track down the one that got away in the van and he's n...

The Fosters 1X12: House and Home

I was shocked when Stef gave that speech to the judge, and then followed it up with, we don't want her in the house right now. And I'm pretty sure Callie was a little bit too.

So, Callie ends up in a group home (with one of the girls she was in juvie with the first time who beat her up the day she left) after telling her PO that she'll go anywhere but back to the Fosters' house, but she really wants them to adopt Jude. There are maybe 8 or so girls, plus Cole. Most of them are addicts o...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 1X3: The Wonderstudies

Okay, so E.J.'s got the phone and instead of checking the texts, which was the whole point, he instead, listens to Ricky's voicemail. And then, he makes matters worse by not returning the damn thing. He just dumped it in the lost and found, which meant Nini spent half the night looking for it, and then ended up being late for rehearsal since she didn't get the text about the time change. Seriously. E.J. You knew she didn't have a phone. You couldn't have just dropped this info to her somehow?...

Prison Break 2X10: Rendezvous

I'm sorry, Geary? Geary has the money right now? Him? He's barely a character.

So, Bellick and Geary continue to torture Pocket Boy, but he refuses to tell them the location of the money. Eventually, during a fight, the locker key comes loose, but Pocket Boy gets to it first and swallows it. They tape him to the toilet and force him to shit out the key by bringing him various sorts of laxatives. Bellick then makes Geary fish the key out and clean it.

They then handcuff Pocket Boy ...

Shameless 11X4: NIMBY

It took my way to long to remember that NIMBY was not in my backyard. 😳

So, I guess this episode was fine. I think it was better than we've been getting lately, but that feels like a really low bar.

I care zero about all the pageant stuff. I'm skipping over all that.

Carl's is starting to become a little less enthusiastic about his new partner. And I don't blame him. She is the worst kind of cop. The ones who harass people who aren't hurting anyone. I mean, seriously, jus...

The Vampire Diaries 3X22: The Departed

What is happening right now? How is this a real thing? I love and hate all of this.

So, Elena is in the hospital. Jeremy found her and called 9-1-1, then he called Damon, who is pissed. She's a sitting duck in the hospital. They decide that Damon will continue moving Klaus, and Stefan will head back to take care of Elena. In the interim, Elena gets out of the hospital, Psycho Nurse assures Jeremy that it was just a concussion.

Back at home, she insists she's fine and doesn't want ...

Arrow 6X20: Shifting Allegiances

Okay, so while this episode was so much better than the last one (even if we only get 4 seconds of Felicity), I can't be the only one who's annoyed about the fact that Oliver goes to Anatoly for help, right? The whole thing right now is that he's supposed to be doing this alone. You're going to let Anatoly help you and not Felicity? Come on Oliver.

Anyway, Oliver heads to Moscow to fix things so Anatoly can go home and rejoin the Bratva. And, while Anatoly says he appreciates it, it doe...

Sons of Anarchy 5X7: Toad's Wild Ride

Okay, so we've finally answered the big why question about Clay. This is all a means to an end of getting him back at the head of the table. Of course it is. I should have seen this. We all should have seen this.

Unser heads over to the house where the nomads and Clay have been holed up. And, while pretending to just introduce himself, he pokes around and asks some questions. But the big reveal for him, is the giant ass gash on GoGo. He pretty much knows exactly what's going on and repo...

The Fosters 1X11: The Honeymoon

So our honeymoon is not great. We spend most of it running around looking for Callie.

At first, no one even notices that she missing, as she had a guitar lesson early in the morning and everyone just assumed she was there. However, when Jude notices her guitar is sitting in the living room, he runs to her room and realizes all her stuff is gone. They immediately gather the kids together and asks if she said anything to any of them. Jude and Brandon exchange looks, but no one has seen he...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 1X2: The Read-Through

So, we've got our first read-through, which seems to go terribly. However, I'm not sure if that's just because Red Hair doesn't know how to read well, or if it's uncomfortable because of this love triangle we've got going on.

Either way, as they are practicing, Ricky can't seem to get any of the dancing down. And Nini ends up yelling at him, telling him he's taking the place of someone who actually wants to be in the show. After all, Ricky only tried out to win her back and get the chan...

Shameless 11X3: Frances Francis Franny Frank

While, not a great episode, this was so much better than we've been getting lately.

So, after a brief reprieve, Debbie is back to earning my ire. What the fuck can you blame every single other person for not taking care of your daughter, except you? Debbie. It's 100% your responsibility to make sure she gets to school and has whatever she needs. You can't just run out of the house yelling, someone take care of her.

Because, the person who takes care of her, is Frank. Which means s...

Prison Break 2X9: Unearthed

So Michael is busy trying to find some vials of some heart medication that doubles as an explosive (if I understand correctly) that he hid before he went to jail. However, they've recovered the hard drive information and they set him up when he gets there. They get the vials first, but they lose Michael.

He ends up in a diner eating when he sees the news that Rat Kid was killed by Mahone, and since Michael is super smart, he's off to investigate. He goes to an internet cafe and looks u...

The Vampire Diaries 3X21: Before Sunset

Okay, so we're all slowly finding out that Alaric isn't actually dead and we need a way to kill him since his only mission seems to be to ki

Okay, so we're all slowly finding out that Alaric isn't actually dead and we need a way to kill him since his only mission seems to be to kill everyone vampire or vampire friendly.

Klaus and Rebekah decide to head out of town. The certainly don't want an unkillable vampire hunter anywhere near them. However, Klaus refuses to leave without Ele...

Arrow 6X19: The Dragon

There are, like, four episodes left in this season. And we waste this one with no involvement from our characters? I mean, this wasn't a terrible episode, per se, but I do not need an origin story of the villain who's only been the villain for a handful of episodes.

Diaz wants to become a crime lord. He works real hard and kills a bunch of people, including the guy whose seat at the table he wanted (and now has). That's basically this episode.

But, we start 32 years ago in an orph...

Sons of Anarchy 5X6: Small World

Dude. This episode was wild. So much happened that I didn't expect. Also, of course this is all lead by Clay. How was I so stupid? Also, did Unser just figure out that Gemma's been stringing him along? I was so sure he knew, but was dealing with it because it was the best he could get from her.

So, Rita ends up dying, and Eli is losing his mind (which is to be expected). He did manage to get some DNA from under her nails, so we're waiting for that to be analyzed. But, he's sure that thi...

The Fosters 1X10: I Do

Okay, so maybe I was way off base when I thought they were going to get rid of Jude.

So, it's several weeks later and the week of Lena and Stef's wedding. And it's kind of going terribly. Stef keeps making all these passive aggressive statements about how weddings are BS. How Lena didn't end up smacking her is beyond me. The only thing about the wedding she seems to care about is that she wears pants. She didn't even plan to have vows. It's not surprising when Lena finally blows up at h...

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series 1X1: The Auditions

Okay, so this was actually pretty fun. And very light hearted, which I feel like we really need after We Were the Lucky Ones. Yes, I've only seen the first movie, but I think it'll be okay.

So, we've got the school were High School Musical was filmed, putting on High School Musical. It's all very meta.

Nini and Ricky have been dating for a year or so, she tells him she loves him via ukulele song on Instagram, and he tells her he thinks they should take some time apart while she g...

Schedule February 24-28

Okay, fine. I lied. After a martini, I felt relaxed enough to do this. Lol.

So, we've decided to follow up We Were the Lucky Ones with something super light and fun. And we're doing High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Yes, I've only seen the first movie. But I think I'll be able to follow along. The first episode was super fun, and I'm excited to have something easy going (at least I hope it will be).

We also finish S3 of The Vampire Diaries this week. I don't know how....

I Burst Into Tears. Poor Dan Thought Someone Died.

So, mini disaster over here today. I accidentally (obviously) dropped a plate on my laptop. This machine is, literally, my entire life. I cannot do anything without it. So, today was not a fun Saturday. But, $450 (which I so don't have) and half a day later, it's fixed.

When I went in there, they initially said it was gonna take take, like, 5-7 days and I think I had an out of body experience. Apparently, they had rose gold and silver screens, but not space gray, which is what I have. ...

9-1-1 8X7: Hotshots

So Buck is busy baking all the things to distract himself from calling Tommy. Am I the only one who never cooks or bakes in an apron? It seems so practical, and yet, I never do. (And I bake a lot!)

Athena is assigned a new, young partner who is supposedly the next big thing, after she pulled a quad chasing down the kingpin of a thieving ring. He starts out pretty okay. He's attentive and asks a lot of questions, but he soon turns brash and reckless. After their first day (where I jumped...

True Blood 5X2: Authority Always Wins

Alright, so Tara is a vampire. And she's completely out of control. She destroys the entire house, attacks then, runs around like a whirling dervish. And then gets super pissed (no surprise there, you guys knew she'd hate this) and leaves. However, this is not before Lafayette almost has a change of heart. Sookie finds him standing over Tara with a stake muttering about whether or not he'd be able to go through with it.

Meanwhile, Bill, Eric, and Nora are all thrown in jail and then int...

Arrow 6X18: Fundamentals

I'm still not sure which parts of the Oliver/Felicity storyline in this episode actually happened, and which parts were a hallucination. But anyway, Vertigo is back! And as strong as ever.

So Oliver is getting ready for the hearing about his impeachment. He's been promised the opportunity to present evidence that proves Hill and Armand where taking money from Diaz. But, he doesn't actually have that evidence. He's got Felicity frantically looking for it some. Good news is, she finds som...

Sons of Anarchy 5X5: Orca Shrugged

Dude. Tig getting his ass bitten made my entire day. (I so much wanted that for the thumbnail, but I just couldn't make it work. Sigh).

So we meet with Hale, who is refusing the lease the Elks building to us. But, Jax promises he can get him Charming Heights if he plays ball. I am very torn about this. We spent, like, an entire seasoning fighting against Charming Heights. And now we're just gonna give it up? Is there another plan here I don't know about yet? Or, did we take pictures of ...

The Fosters 1X9: Vigil

Ugh. I cried so much during this episode.

So, we pick up exactly where we left off last episode, except we actually get to see what happens in the house this time. Stef and Mike going through the rooms and looking for Jesus (or anyone else, I guess). Stef and Mike are in different rooms, when he hears a gunshot go off in the room Stef is in. He rushes in and finds her on the ground, as she's been shot in the abdomen. He shoots the boyfriend who is standing across the room. Like, three ...

We Were the Lucky Ones 1X8: Rio

OMG. You guys. The tears. It was really bad for, like, the second half of this episode. But, on the plus side, most of these are happy tears, so we've got that.

But before we get to that, we have to endure watching poor Halina get beaten and tortured for 3 months because she won't admit that she's Jewish. Eventually, her former boss shows up and vouches for her identity and she's able to get out.

And then it's really just a matter of everyone finding each other. We get the redo fr...

Shameless 11X2: Go Home, Gentrifier!

I don't think I could have hated this more. There is literally nothing I enjoyed except watching Mickey act insane.

Ian is still upset that Mickey isn't working. Mickey insists he can just get money if Ian wants some, but Ian says it has to be legally earned and he's withholding sex until he gets a job. Mickey claims not to care, but then a commercial convinces him to apply for a job where Ian is working. But, he's Mickey, so he doesn't know how to properly interview and doesn't get the...

The Vampire Diaries 3X20: Do Not Go Gentle

Um, you're telling me I wasted all those tears on Alaric's death only for him not to die?!? 🤣 And I was so caught up in that, that I forgot

Um, you're telling me I wasted all those tears on Alaric's death only for him not to die?!? 🤣 And I was so caught up in that, that I forgot what was happening and was very confused when he turned into a vampire.

So Esther and evil Alaric are friends now. They both have the same goal, kill all the Originals, which in turn, kills all the v...

Prison Break 2X8: Dead Fall

Ha. I knew it was too out of character for Sucre to just steal all that money. Also, I want all the backstory on Mahone. I feel like The Company probably has something over him, but I don't know what exactly. Plus, his job right now is to kill all the escaped convicts?

So he and Michael had planned for Sucre to hold them up for the money. Then, the two of them meet up later and split the money between the two of them, Lincoln, and Westmoreland's daughter. Unfortunately, Pocket Boy had o...

Arrow 6X17: Brothers in Arms

What the hell is happening right now? What are we doing? Oliver and Dig have literally come to blows. This sort of felt like it came out of nowhere. But also, not really?

So, Dinah arrests Anatoly of her own accord since she knows that Hill is corrupt, and after the DA lets him loose on a technicality, Oliver realizes he is too. He call the both of them into his office and they but admit it. Diaz has something over Hill, and he's paying the DA for his kid's cancer treatment. Oliver agre...

Sons of Anarchy 5X4: Stolen Huffy

I was stupid enough to think I might be able to make it through this episode without crying. Ha.

Okay, somebody needs to explain to me what happened in the garage with Gemma, Carla, and Tara. I know that Gemma is manipulating Tara, but I don't have any idea how getting her to fight Carla helps her. I mean, Carla gets beaten on, but Gemma could have done that herself and it would probably have been more satisfying for her. I don't know what the end game is here. But, they make a pretty b...
