Supergirl 3X8: Crisis on Earth-X, Part I

Um why are there Nazis? Don't we have enough issues with Nazis right now? 🙄

So, it seems like we've all been invited to Barry and Iris' wedding. (Not that any of our superheroes have bothered to RSVP, but still). Everything (at least the wedding stuff) is going well. There's a bunch of Flash related things that I so don't get. I didn't realize Kaitlin had superpowers. Why are we trying to get rid of the superpowers of those other guys? Does anyone every understand what Cisco is talki...

One Tree Hill 9X10: Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will

OMG. I was just saying that the only way for Dan to actually get redeemed is that he has to die. And then he fucking dies? Are they serious? Do I really have to forgive him now? Am I ready for that? (After all this, he's probably not even gonna be dead 🙄).

So, Dan trains Julian and Chris to help him rescue Nathan. I wish someone had accidentally killed Chris in the process. All he did was bitch and whine. Julian showed up and was ready to rock, though. However, when it came time to a...

Tell Me Lies 2X3: I Can See Right Through Me

So we start in the present, where we're at a joint bachelor/bachelorette party for Bree and Evan. Max has come with Lucy, but Stephen didn't bring Lydia. As the night goes on, Lucy gets upset that Max is spending a lot of time with Stephen. She confronts him about it and he says he's just being polite and maybe he's changed.

Later, Lucy says the same to Pippa. Maybe Lydia changed him. But Pippa insists that Stephen is incapable of change. I'm wondering if he's really trying to be on his...

The Vampire Diaries 3X11: Our Town

Um, I have no idea what Klaus wants from Caroline? Does he like her? Info on the rest of the group? (She's kind of the weakest link- in the sweetest possible way). Getting to her mom? (I mean, this is actually it, but it doesn't seem like a big enough deal for him to save her). Does his blood make her more prone to doing his bidding, like Tyler?

But anyway, after Stefan approaches Klaus and tells him to get rid of his hybrids (and killing one in the process), Klaus retaliates by telling...

Shameless 10X5: Sparky

Okay, at this point, I just want it to be the Ian and Lip show. We can ditch pretty much everyone else.

So, Ian is out of jail. Huzzah! But it's sort of a bittersweet homecoming for him. When he gets to the house, the only people there are Anne's family (who don't speak English) and Tami (who is losing her mind trying to figure out how to feed Freddie). It's really sad. He's just wandering around the house looking for anyone he actually knows.

He goes to meet with his PO and she's...

Prison Break 1X21: Go

Ugh. My god. The STRESS in this episode.

So, Michael gets Pope to transfer Lincoln to the infirmary, tell the guards all is well, sets up a contingency for the secretary, and locks him in a closet. He gets back to his cell five minutes before the escape is ready to begin. And Sucre is not handling it well. He's fidgety and nervous and throwing up.

As soon as the cells open, the PI crowd starts wandering over giving Michael their bleached coveralls. Once everyone is in place, we st...

Just a Head's Up

Dan is sick. Yes. Again. I don't know what's going on at that job of his. Sigh.

So, I'll be back on the other side of room again today (and probably for the next few days) and desperately trying not to scream.

Also, he's been informed he can pop in if he needs things, so we might pause occasionally, but that seems unlikely. (I'll check on him after every reaction, so unless something is quite dire, all should be good).

Arrow 6X7: Thanksgiving

So, fucking FBI lady decides to arrest Oliver in front of William, the entire city, and the news as he's in the middle of giving a press conference. Fun. Um, we hate her. Just in case that wasn't abundantly clear before.

Oliver refuses to talk until he gets to see William. He assures him that he's not the Green Arrow and any longer, and things will be set right soon. Felicity uses the $500,000 investment money that she and Curtis have for the start up to bail Oliver out of jail. Just ad...

Sons of Anarchy 4X5: Brick

Okay, so we've got two really big issues in this episode (not to mention a ton of other stuff going on). But, we've got the letters that Unser has now read. Clay has read most of them, and Gemma none. But we're all suspicious about it. Plus, Unser now knows the truth about JT's death. We've also got Juice sort of being forced to steal a kilo of coke while doing some BS so the club doesn't kick him out for having a Black dad. (This still baffles me).

Both Gemma and Clay, individually, te...

One Tree Hill 9X9: Every Breath is a Bomb

OMG. I hate all this. (In the best possible way).

So, we may, possibly, potentially be slightly closer to finding Nathan. Dan has managed to track down Dimitri and Haley is using her womanly wiles to draw him out to Dan. Once he's lovesick enough and follows her out of the bar, Dan attacks him and drags him to the soundstage so he can torture him.

Once back there, Haley immediately wants a go at him. Dan holds her off for a bit, but then she breaks and starts beating him. Dan drag...

Tell Me Lies 2X2: I Shall Now Perform A 180 Flip-Flop

Guys, in the present day, Bree and Evan have gotten married, right? Or are they at a rehearsal dinner or something? It looks like Bree is running around in a wedding dress, so I just assumed, I want to double check. Especially after what happened in this episode.

So, the truth about Evan's indiscretion finally comes out. And of course, it's all Stephen's idea. Why do any of them listen to him? He's only out for himself. Also, everyone needs to stop telling him things. Any information in...

High School Musical

Um, I realize this is a Disney movie, but I refuse to accept that Sharpay is just a good sport about losing at the end and we all just accept her. Boo.

I also cannot believe that it spawned, like, 2 sequels, a TV show, and a host of spin offs. Not that it was that bad, but how much story is actually here for all of that? Are these the richest Disney kids ever?

This sort of felt like if One Tree Hill, Grease, and Full House got together and throupled a baby. 🤣

Schedule January 20-24

Hello, hell. Happy Saturday!

Things are going very well over here. It seems silly, but somehow, doing 5 reactions a day/4 days a week, is so much easier and less stressful than doing 6 reactions a day/4 days a week, and then a couple of extra reactions on the fifth day. I'm only 'working' 40ish hours a week right now, instead of closer to 60 and I feel so much better than I did at the end of last year.

Dana enjoyment aside, this week we start our Arrow crossovers. We've got a Supe...

True Blood 4X9: Let's Get Out of Here

So, Sookie is fine. Alcide is taking her home, but Bill zooms over, grabs her and runs her the rest of the way. However, she won't take his blood, so he and Alcide kind of freak out while they wait. Turns out she's fine though. She did manage to drink the blood and she's healed.

However, now she's having fantasies about both Eric and Bill at the same time. In her dream state, she's decided that she's going to love and have sex with both of them, and they are just going to deal with it....

9-1-1 8X2: When the Boeing Gets Tough

You guys, Athena is about to land a plane. And Bobby thinks this is totally normal. I love it so much.

Okay, so we've got to deal with the aftermath of plane collision. Fun. The pilot got sucked out of the plane and the co-pilot is unconscious. Also, they cannot contact ATF. So, Athena calls 9-1-1 and gets Josh to put her through. She explains the situation and they tell her they are calling a flight instructor to come down and walk her through how to land the plane. That's not nerve wr...

Arrow 6X6: Promises Kept

Okay, so we've stuck with the Slade story for this episode, and I'm glad. I enjoyed the last episode with him and Oliver so much.

So, at first, it seems like Slade is trying to get Joe to leave the Jackals. But, after it seems obvious that he's not going anywhere, Slade says he'll join to be close to him. However, he and Oliver have already discussed this, and are still working together.

But then, Oliver gets caught and brought to Slade and Joe. They tie him to a chair and Joe tel...

Sons of Anarchy 4X4: Una Venta

Truthfully, I don't know how I feel about the distinction between selling drugs, and running them. I could be persuaded either way. But, running them, it means that the drugs are setting up shop in Charming, so I suppose that's what Clay is thinking.

Anyway, we head to Arizona to meet up with the cartel. But when we get there and find the Tucson chapter, we find out that they are selling drugs out of the area where we are planning to keep the stolen guns for the night. SAMCRO is upset a...

One Tree Hill 9X8: A Rush of Blood to the Head

Um, guys, if the Chase/Chuck story line is Chase killed Chuck's dad with a tire iron, I'm totally in for this.

So, we've pulled a body out of a lake and the police think it might be Nathan, so Haley has to head over to identify it. Up until that point, I was 100% sure that Nathan was going to come home alive. And, while I still think that, I've allowed for the possibility that that might not be so. We've only got a handful of episodes left (and Nathan isn't in this season full time) and...

Tell Me Lies 2X1: You Got a Reaction, Didn't You?

Okay, I'm not gonna lie, the first half of this episode, I was kind of disappointed. I thought it was going kind of slow and there wasn't nearly as much drama as I wanted. But holy shit, did the second half make up for it.

So, we're back for our sophomore year (or senior year, I guess, depending on who you are) and Lucy, Pippa and Bree immediately find each other. However, we've got tension between everyone. We're not as comfortable with each other as we used to be. I mean, Lucy slept w...

Prison Break 1X20: Tonight

OMG. So much happened this episode. I love it.

We pick up right where we left off with Bellick finding the hole under the CO room. Thankfully (or maybe he did this on purpose, I'm not sure) Westmoreland followed him in and attacked him. He managed to hogtie him and toss him down in the hole, but got injured in the process. This means that everything needs to happen now. Before anyone at the prison realizes Bellick is missing.

Um, guys, or plan right now sucks. But since it's now ...

The Vampire Diaries 3X10: The New Deal

OMG. I did not realize just how badly I wanted to Elena and Damon together. (I mean, I knew I wanted it, but I didn't realize THIS much!)

So, we're all sort of skeptical of Tyler right now since he's Klaus' errand boy. However, Jeremy can't see anything wrong with it. Turns out, he's been compelled by Klaus and Tyler was a ruse to help get him off vervain. So, he ends up in the middle of the street, watching a truck driven by a hybrid bearing down on him (oh, and he's been conveniently ...

Shameless 10X4: A Little Gallagher Goes a Long Way

Surprise! I don't care about any of this 🤣

Although, to be fair, watching Frank really seem to like and care for Mikey was a sort of enjoyable to watch. Other than Monica, we don't really get to see that with him.

After running into an old acquaintance at the grocery store, Debbie decides she should be getting child support for Frannie. So, she heads over to Derek to demand it, only to find out that he's dead. However, she then discovers that the family gets $100,000 when he di...

Arrow 6X5: Deathstroke Returns

So, I'm an idiot. I totally forgot that Slade was Deathstroke. He's been Slade for so long now that that's what I think of him as. 😳

Anyway, it turns out Slade's son is in jail and he wants Oliver to help get him out. Turns out, Oliver is a bit of a celebrity and that will get him into the jail. Then he'll bribe the guard with $50,000. Or at least that's how I understood it.

However, when Oliver gets there, they tell him that his son died a few days ago breaking up a fight in t...

One Tree Hill 9X7: Last Known Surroundings

Alright, so we were so close to Nathan getting free! But then some stupid bullshit that Nathan has nothing to do with ended up getting him tied up again. Fucking loser police officer.

Nathan, who has been rubbing at those zip ties for, like, two episodes now, finally frees himself. He manages to knock out one guy, cut himself loose, and take off with the knife. Once he's out of the room, he runs into the officer who told Haley he was trying to do more, but wasn't a detective so his hand...

So, we finally get to see what happened the night Macy died first hand. And I was fucking right! I thought that slimy fucker was driver and popped Macy over the driver's seat after the crash. Now, that said, I think her blood on the passenger's side windshield where she cracked her head (and I assume what killed her) should have people asking questions, but here we are.

Dude, why are all these girls obsessed with Stephen? He's not even that attractive. But, we find out Macy is yet anoth...

Prison Beak 1X19: The Key

Things really feel like they are heating up now. We're finally getting teeny tiny bits of info. But I need more!

Turns out, passerby is actual Lincoln's dad. Apparently, he used to work for this company and when h...

Why is this show so good? And why did I not know this show was so good before now? I feel like a fool.

So we're faking Mikael's death (look, I learned to spell his name, but he's dead now. Sigh) in order to persuade Klaus to come back to Mystic Falls. Elena stabs and 'kills' him, but he's in on this, so worries there. Eventually, Elena pulls the dagger out and Rebekah waits for him to come back to life. When he does, she tells him that she's on Klaus' side.

Later, Elena is helping...

So those debit cards that Debbie handed out to everyone are already empty. Apparently, she put them in everyone's actual name and now that the IRS knows they have money, they have immediately taken it.

In retaliation, Frank and Mikey break into her she shed and steal all her stuff, selling...
