The Fosters 1X7: Clean

Ugh. Why is Lena's ex causing problems? Like we don't have enough actually problems right now? I wish they had actually kicked her out of the house. I hate those people. You know, the ones who never really say anything truly bad, but have obvious ill intent?

So, Lena's ex comes to town and they decide to have dinner with her. No idea why. And Stef and the ex gang up on Lena to embarrass her. What are you doing Stef? it's almost like she's trying to make the ex like her. It's weird. Lena...

We Were the Lucky Ones 1X7: Monte Cassino

Well, we got one good thing this episode. We've found Selim! He's fine, working as a doctor and he, Genek and Herta are reunited. That's about all the happiness I can offer though. Sigh.

Genek did manage to get into the Polish army and things have been going okay. They've traveled a bunch and have enough to eat and are able to take care of the baby. But, it's still an unknown. No idea when you'll be sent somewhere new. Easy to die.

While Genek is in the medical tent getting diagn...

Shameless 11X1: This is Chicago!

Well we definitely did not start S11 off with a bang. It was more of a whimper. And that whimper was mine. Out of frustration. It's just one more season. 12 episodes. I can totally make it. Right?

So Debbie is on probation for sleeping with Julia. Turns out, Debbie is 18 and Julia is 17. I really thought Julia was, like, 16 and Debbie was 20. Either way, Debbie needed to register as a sex offender and cannot go within 500 feet of a school. Also, she's listed on the registry website as h...

Prison Break 2X7: Buried

Okay, so the cop who showed up at the end of the last episode, lives in this house. Because of course these jailbirds can't get a damn break.

We've got the mother daughter duo tied up and gagged, and it seems like Sucre has been chosen to keep watch over them. The cop starts using some tactics to get Sucre to work with her, and it works. He brings her medicine and answers her questions. Even though, he keeps telling her to shut up, he still responds. She keeps trying to tell him to let...

The Vampire Diaries 3X19: Heart of Darkness

I 100% thought that when Damon asked Elena what she was doing, she was going to reveal that she was just trying to keep him occupied for something that Stefan asked her to do and my heart was ready to be broken for Damon. This is somewhat better though. Confused Elena is definitely better than rips Damon's heart out Elena.

Anyway, Elena and Damon head up to Colorado to get Jeremy as they are concerned for him now that Klaus knows where he is. Stefan wants them to go together so Elena ca...

Arrow 6X16: The Thanatos Guild

Ugh. I so did not love this episode. I think I'm just basically done with The League. It's had it's time, let's move on. That said, I do kind of like Nyssa, so I wouldn't mind if she stuck around. Plus, what is with Thea being all like, 'Maybe being Speedy is the thing I've been searching for.' Honey, you went searching because you didn't like the person you were. I mean part of it was politics, but another big part was Speedy. Why do you think Speedy is what's going to fix you? But, either w...

Sons of Anarchy 5X3: Laying Pipe

Um, is it crazy that I still feel like it's okay to hold out hope that somehow Opie didn't die? There's no chance they kill him off in episode three, right? I mean, I can't come up with a rational reason why everyone is acting like he died (and I mean, I did see him mostly get beaten to death), but it's possible, right?

Anyway, our boys are in prison and as soon as they get there a bunch of Black inmates (Niners? Niners adjacent?) try to approach them, but are intercepted by some Mexica...

The Fosters 1X8: The Fallout

Good lord. What is happening in this episode? We've got assault, statutory rape, undocumented persons, a teenage runaway, and probably a bunch of other stuff that slipped through the cracks because, well, see previous.

Mariana doesn't seem to get any backlash about coming home drunk last night. Not that that stops Brandon from being cold to Callie about it. I really didn't think he was upset about that. I thought he was upset because she was still seeing Wyatt. Either way, once she expl...

We Were the Lucky Ones 1X6: Warsaw

Remember how I said it was going to get worse. before it gets better? It's getting so much worse.

So Mila and Felicia manage to get themselves to Warsaw where things are better, but not great. The she, Halina, and Adam are passing as non Jewish with the girls both working service type jobs. However, Mila is having a terrible time. She's miserable without Felicia who has been put into a convent to safe keeping. They are also needing to dye her hair to keep up the appearance that she isn'...

Drunk Re-Watch: One Tree Hill 7X15: Don't You Forget About Me

Um, guess who got really drunk? Guess who hasn't had a drink in a while? Guess which drunk-rewatch is really drunken?

No really, it's embarrassing. But, I've been embarrassed before. You guys should probably do a drinking game. Drink every time I do something cringeworthy. You'll have a fun Saturday.

You're welcome.

Schedule February 17-21

Hello, hello. Happy Saturday.

This week we finish We Were the Luck Ones. I don't know what it's going to be replaced with yet, as the sponsor hasn't decided. We also start S11 of Shameless, and as much as I enjoyed the finale for S10, I'm ready for this show to be over. Keep your eyes peeled for a post to drop some suggestions for what to replace it with. I've already get about a dozen things for the poll, but always happy to get more suggestions.

Other than that, we've got a drun...

True Blood 5X1: Turn! Turn! Turn!

I'm not sure if I liked this episode. I mean, I liked it. But I was also sort of wanting something else, but I have no idea what that was, so 🤷‍♀️

So, we backtrack a bit to last season and see Debbie coming at Sookie with the gun. However, this time we also see Bill and Eric's reaction to it. Bill is immediately concerned, but Eric is all 'Fuck, Sookie, she didn't want either one of us, remember?' But, Bill decides to head over. Eric follows him, but as soon as they are outside...

9-1-1 8X6: Confessions

Okay, Eddie, you definitely screwed up, but you are tormenting yourself like you murdered someone. I'm so happy we get delightful Eddie back. But of course, in order to get it, we received sad, sad Buck.

So, Buck finds out that before Tommy was out, he was engaged to Abby. Yes, that Abby. Buck sits on that into for a while until he talks to Maddie and Josh about it. But after that conversation, he decides he can really see a future for himself with Tommy, so he confesses that he and Abb...

Arrow 6X15: Doppelgänger

So, fake Laurel is pretending to be real Laurel. This isn't going to get confusing for poor Quintin at all.

But, who cares? WE'VE GOT ROY BACK! I have no idea if I'm the only one who has such a love of Roy. I mean to be fair, Thea being all like, 'Roy being safe is the only reason I'm still alive,' was sweet and all, but you haven't mentioned him in seasons, love. I'm going with it because I love Roy, but honestly, her intense love for him kind of came out of nowhere. It would have bee...

Sons of Anarchy 5X2: Authority Vested

So Eli wakes Opie up in the middle of the night looking for Jax, Tig, and Chibs. Bro. It's the middle of the night. Find something else to do. Opie claims he hasn't seen them.

Afterwards Eli heads over to Clay and Gemma's since their house was broken into and Unser was knocked out. Turns out, all they seemed to take was the safe, which Clay said only had there important papers in it. But then claimed, he had no idea about cash and Eli would have to ask Gemma. Seems suspicious.

The Fosters 1X6: Saturday

So, in order to spend more time with Lexi, Jesus wants to go to a church retreat. However, Stef is skeptical because she doesn't want the church to fill Jesus' head with garbage about how his family is an abomination.

But, it turns out the dinner is going fairly well. Lexi's parents have some concerns about her being at the house now that she and Jesus are dating. They request that they not be alone in rooms (it doesn't need to be a parent, siblings are okay) and just some general guid...

We Were the Lucky Ones 1X5: Ilha Das Flores

So somehow, Mila doesn't end up getting shot as she runs for the soldier near the wagon. She offers him her wedding ring to let her get on, which he allows. (Also, this soldier looked about 12 and scared out of his mind). Eventually, the wagon brings them back home. So, they lost the money for the transport and her wedding ring, but both she and Felicia are alive.

Halina, Jakob, and Bella survey the damage outside of their hiding spot as they head over to Jakob's apartment. It's not gre...

Shameless 10X12: Gallavich!

I honestly don't know if I really liked this episode, or I was just so happy it focused on Ian and Mickey (and wasn't nearly as bad as the last few episodes) that it seems like I liked it. 🤷‍♀️

So we've got an Ian and Mickey wedding! And Terry burns down the goddamned venue the morning of. Because, of course he does. This leads to a scramble to find a place to hold the wedding. Everyone, except Mickey (who is too busy being pissed at his dad) is calling every venue they can fin...

Oh god. I really need Pocket Boy to die soon. I don't think I can keep the contents of my stomach inside much longer if I have to keep watching him to so overtly, disgustingly gross for much longer. 🤢

Well, we've somehow managed to find out exactly where the money is. A combination of the map and Michael just being smart about everything. Unfortunately, it's buried (theoretically) under some lady's garage. Lincoln cuts her power and Michael shows up pretending they are electricians w...

Arrow 6X14: Collision Course

Okay, I've sort of had it with all the in fighting between OTA and NTA. They either need to get back together, or get NTA off the show. I don't want to watch half the episode be them fighting each other instead of the bad buys.

So, we find out that Laurel has taken the money out of the bank account in Corto Maltese and now we've got conflicting plans. Dinah wants to kill her, and Oliver wants to convince her to give them back the money. But right now she'll holed up with Quintin at a c...

Sons of Anarchy 5X1: Sovereign

Um, I'm sure I said this was the last season of SOA. For whatever reason I thought it was only 5 seasons, but it's actually 7. Whoops.

So things are pretty much immediately bad. The truck that we're using to run the guns and coke in getting attacked by the Niners. Phil (who has since been patched in) is driving and the truck flips. The Niners shoot it up and it ends up in flames. They ride away, Jax gets Phil free, and the rest of the guys salvage the goods- hiding them until later.

The Fosters 1X5: The Morning After

So, I thought this was going to be about the fallout from the previous episode, and it was, a bit, but this was a double entendre I did not expect on an ABC family show. At least not in episode 5.

We start with Stef and Lena hosting a party and they find out that the marriage of one of their close friends is in trouble. And they start to realize that they haven't been intimate in a while, and that they are no longer taking the time to do little extras for each other. So, they plan a bit...

However, when she wakes up the next morning, it's to the news that the Germans are taking over Lvov as well. While she's out with Jakob shopping, the soldiers begin to fill the streets, and anyone who looks Jewish is being beat...

Ugh. I am again writing off everything Carl related. I don't care at all about Frank or Liam's bullshit either. And to be honest, I only care the tiniest bit about everything else that isn't Ian and Mickey related.

So, Terry shows up as the ass crack of dawn at the Gallagher's screaming about how Mickey isn't going to marry a dude. They scream and argue in the street, both pull a gun on the other, and finally Terry just leaves. This seems to be the cue for Mickey to throw himself into w...

So Cayden threatens to blow the bomb at midnight if Oliver doesn't have definitive proof that he didn't kill his son. Thankfully, Alena and Felicity come up with something pretty quickly. Turns out, Owen wasn't a bystander in 'Oliver's' fight; he was actually the target. A...
