Sons of Anarchy 4X2: Booster

So, so far, S4 is 2 for 2. This was a good episode.

We've got our guns from the Irish (not the Russians, got that figured out 🙄) and we turn around to sell them to the Mayans. But, as we're getting along just fine with Alvarez, he introduces us to Romeo (who runs some kind of drug cartel, I think). He's willing be buy, literally everything we have, and more. And he's willing to pay us a fuckton of money to it. The only catch is, we've got to run some coke for him. It seems like Clay ...

One Tree Hill 9X6: Catastrophe and the Cure

Um, I don't really know what to say about this. The Russian mob has Nathan? Had you given me 100 guesses, this would not have been one of them. Although, I don't think I could have come up with, like, more than 10 people, and that would have been a stretch. Lol.

So, let's just skip over Chris and Chase. Yes, Chase is sleeping with Chris' girlfriend. No, I still don't care. There are too many actual important things going on right now.

First off, Nathan has been kidnapped and is be...

Tell Me Lies 1X9: Sugar We're Going Down Swinging

Am I the only one who thinks Stephen definitely knows more about the night of the accident than he's letting on? Right now I'm wondering if he was actually in the driver's seat when they hit the tree and tossed Macy over there when he realized he was dead. Is he really that bad of a person? Probably. 🤷‍♀️

So, Lucy's letter has immediate consequences. Drew immediately gets a visit from the school about the letter. He claims he doesn't know anything, but he's obviou...

What Non-YA Movie Are We Watching Next?

Again, this poll could include so many other movies. I'm much more of a TV person, so I haven't seen a zillion things!

Also, I've enabled multiple choices, so enjoy.

Side note: I somehow ended up with a crazy amount of Tom Holland interview shorts on my YouTube algorithm. And, after watching all of them, I've decided that Tom Holland is incredibly charming and I should probably watch something he's been in; hence how Spider-Man ended up here. 🤣

What YA Movie Are We Watching?

So, here are a handful of YA movies that I've never seen. This list could have been, like, 50 options long, but I had to cap it somewhere (I don't watch a ton of movies).

What do you guys think? I've set this to multiple options, so have at it.

Schedule January 13-17

Hello, hello. Happy Sunday!

Things seem to finally be settling back down for me. And I feel so much better. Thank you so much for sticking around through my stretch of wanting to tear my hair out for last 2-3 months. But all seems well now.

Dan's parents got us tickets the Rangers game this past Thursday, so I was doing a little bit of prep and catchup so I could take most of that day off, but going forward, I think we're good for a quite a bit. We've been talking about going to s...

True Blood 4X8: Spellbound

Ugh. I hate that we ended here! I'm so afraid that Marnie is giving Eric is memories back and I'm not ready for that yet! I'm happy to just live in Sookie/Eric pseudo happiness!

So, Jessica is fine. Jason saved her just in the nick of time. He carried her back into the cell and locked her up with Bill. However, she realizes she killed a guard when she got out and feels terrible about it. Then she has a whole fantasy about breaking up with Hoyt, him begging her to stay, then her killing...

Arrow 6X3: Next of Kin

Okay, so we're all concerned about John being in charge here. His first night in the field as the Green Arrow, he was unable to make a decision and the bad guy and the illicit nerve agent got away.

Dinah is mostly concerned because she knows he's not at 100% and he didn't tell Oliver this when he agreed to put on the hood. But, John apologizes and assures the team, none of this will happen again. However, that doesn't stop Rene from going to ask Oliver to come back, as he's afraid ...

Sons of Anarchy 4X1: Out

So, it's 14 months later. The club is out of jail, Tara has given birth to a boy named Thomas, and Otto and Lyla get married.

Getting back to Charming is a bit of a shock for our boys. Turns out, a lot can happen in 14 months. Hale is putting up new real estate that's going to push out the people who live here (hell gentrification), Oswald ended up getting his land taken away anyway, Charming PD is no more and we're now under the control of the sheriff's department, and we've got some k...

One Tree Hill 9X5: The Killing Moon

Yes! This is the One Tree Hill I want! (You know, excluding all the Chase, Chris, Chuck stuff that I don't care about).

So, Nathan is literally missing. He never came home. Haley has left him more than a dozen messages and we've heard nothing. She goes to the police, but they claim that isn't really anything they can do until he's been missing for 24 hours (and suggests that it's not uncommon for a professional athlete to leave his wife- fuck you cop- you don't know Naley). After that, ...

9-1-1 8X1: Buzzkill

So, we've finally made it to the bees! Hulu had bees all over the damn place back when S8 started and I knew they were coming.

Well a truck with 22 million killer bees has crashed causing all sorts of chaos. But, the worst of it is coming from inside the 118 and having to deal with Gerard. Fucking Gerard. I swear, I really hope he's dead. Fucking just be a normal human being, asshole!

Gerard is busy screaming at everyone and picking on Buck (even though Buck is doing things and co...

Tell Me Lies 1X8: Don't Go Wasting Your Emotion

Okay, so we finally get some backstory on Pippa. Turns out, she's basically been lying about her entire history. No surprise there, as this is a show for lying liars, who lie.

Basically, she was bullied badly enough in school that she ended up needing to transfer. Her awful peers made up a guy online that she fell for, but he wasn't real. And they embarrassed and tormented her so badly she moved schools in her senior year. Senior year wasn't any better, and she was determined to be the ...

Prison Break 1X18: Bluff

Dude. This episode was so good. I'm actually a little surprised because it wasn't nearly as stressful as usual, but it was just as good!

So, Michael is busy trying to get Haywire to puke up his meds so he can remember what his tattoo looks like (or even who Michael is). Eventually, it ends up working, but a little too well, as Haywire remembers that Michael is the reason he ended up in the psych ward in the first place. But, Michael manages to convince him that he's going to take him wi...

The Vampire Diaries 3X8: Ordinary People

Oh, I really enjoyed this episode. We got more of the backstory for the original vampires. And I'm struggling not to look up Elena/Damon fanfic.

So we figure out that the cave drawings basically tell the story of the original vampires (who were not vampires then) coming to Mystic Falls. But, we also find out that Klaus lied to Rebekah (and I guess Elijah too) about Michael killing their mother. Turns out, it was him (Klaus) but he lied to keep the siblings together.

Anyway, the or...

Shameless 10X2: Sleep Well My Prince For Tomorrow You Shall Be King

So, the best part of this episode was EASILY the Ian and Mickey stuff. I'd love if they were back in every episode. I don't know if it's because we haven't seen much of them, or they just really were that good, but it was such a highlight of this episode.

So, they are in jail, and totally annoyed with each other. They've been inhabiting the same tiny space for too long. And they just need a break. So when Ian is approached by a guy in the medical unit to stab him so he doesn't have to g...

Arrow 6X2: Tribute

Okay, so we're just going with the 'it wasn't me' defense in response to the news claiming that Oliver is the Green Arrow. However, that doesn't get the FBI to stop investigating us. Sigh. Can we just have a little bit of peace, please?

That said, I'm not sure yet where this season is going. It feels like it could be so many things! But I guess that's what happens when we're only on episode two.

So, after the SCPD got blown up, we've managed to get $20 million to repair it. Howeve...

Sons of Anarchy 3x13: NS

OMG. I'm so happy. I LOVED this finale. It gave me everything I wanted and more. Bless you SOA.

So Jax and Stahl have been sort of dancing around each other trying to decide if they can trust each other (spoiler alert: they can't). Anyway, they come up with a plan for the club to 'buy' Jimmy from the Russian's for 2 million. Stahl is putting up $250k so that the counterfeit money won't be quickly detected. Once they get Jimmy, they are supposed to put him in the van, and pass him off to...

One Tree Hill 9X4: Don't You Want to Share the Guilt?

So, we're still having the same problem, too many characters I don't care about. If we ditch all them, the other three plot lines that I care about, are great right now.

Let's just quickly say that this Millie/Mouth storyline is still ridiculous. No one cares. I also don't care about Chase and him potentially share a girl with Chris. Or him being sad about Alex. At least we didn't get any Chuck this episode.

But onto the good stuff. Julian is obviously beating himself up over leav...

Tell Me Lies 1X7: Castle on a Cloud

Ugh. All these people suck so much. Evan and Bree are the only normal people in this group, I swear.

It is driving me absolutely crazy that Lucy is so upset with Drew, but totally cool with Stephen. How is Drew driving away any worse than Stephen leaving her dead? If you're pissed at one, you need to be pissed at both. And you should be.

So, we're at Evan's family's house for his birthday, and he's trying to ask everyone to be respectful of the place, and the first thing that hap...

Prison Break 1X17: J-Cat

Ugh. Why is Michael smarter than 6 of me put together? I should never, ever guess at what's happening with him because I'm always wrong, and he's always 12 steps ahead.

So, based on the doctor finding part of the guard uniform fused to Michael's skin, the warden asks him if he's being attacked by the guards. When Michael refuses to answer, he gets throw in solitary. This is bad news because the PI has just been told that they only have the rest of the day to work and then they are off t...

The Vampire Diaries 3X7: Ghost World

This was my least favorite episode this season. And it was still better than a lot of things I've seen. So, that's saying something.

So at the end of the last episode, someone showed up and I knew I was supposed to know who he was, but I didn't. Turns out, it was Mason. And I didn't put it together, because, oh yeah, Mason's dead.

Apparently, when Bonnie brought Jeremy back, she opened the door to the other side, so anyone with unfinished business was able to come back over. So, a...

Shameless 10X1: We Few, We Lucky Few, We Band of Gallaghers!

So far, S10 is leaving a lot to be desired. We've got no Fiona, which was expected; no Ian, which I was hoping for; and way too much of pretty much everyone else.

I guess the idea of Debbie being the new Fiona makes sense, and I can get behind it, but it's not really all that compelling. Her spending all of Fiona's money on designer stuff she plans to return isn't quite as scandalous as everything we've been watching the Gallagher's do for 9 seasons.

Carl and Kelly having sex 48 t...

Felicity 4X22: Back to the Future

And that's a wrap on Felicity, my friends. I'm not sure if I liked this episode. I mean, I did really like it, but I think it's mostly because more than half of it was just clips from seasons 1 and 2 which I already know I like. Also, I have no idea what was going on at the end. How are Elena and Tracy at Noel's wedding? Isn't Elena dead? What did I miss there? We're those just more clips after she got 'back'?

Anyway, so Felicity finds the guy who wrote the time travel spell (there is z...

Arrow 6X1: Fallout

Okay, so five months have passed. I truthfully have no idea what exactly is going on with Laurel 2 and this dude she's hanging out with. Do they have a plan? I mean, he tried to send a rocket towards (I guess) Star City, but Curtis redirected it with his T Spheres. I guess, like a lot of bad guys, they just wanna destroy stuff and cause mayhem. 🤷‍♀️

So, we've got some problems. We find out that Samantha died on the island, but made Oliver promise to watch after William. He agre...

Sons of Anarchy 3X12: June Wedding

Holy shit. Stahl is even crazier than I imagined she was. What the fuck.

Jax tells Stahl that Jimmy is missing, but they need to find Tara. Stahl tells him she needs him to ID some IRA people, and Jax tells her he'll be able to think better after they find Tara. She says if he ID's the IRA, she'll get Gemma off, if he brings her Jimmy, she's get the club off.

Thankfully, we get on Tara's tail pretty quickly. And we find two bodies, but neither are Tara. One is the girlfriend Tara...

One Tree Hill 9X3: Love the Way You Lie

Okay, I haven't been paying attention to the credits. Is James in this season? We got almost nothing from him in episode 1 and it was basically all on his own, we got a bit last episode, and nothing here.

So, arguably, the two worst characters on the show, Chris Keller and Chuck, are now getting scenes together where they imitate each other? Kill me. I hate it.

Haley is busy trying to run the cafe, but the chef quits to go work at the cafe that just opened across the street. Brook...

Tell Me Lies 1X6: And I'm Sorry If I Dissed You

So we're back from Christmas and Lucy has decided that she's not going to see Stephen anymore. Pippa and Bree are thrilled. However, it doesn't last very long.

She's been trying to avoid him since she got back, but eventually, he waits outside her dorm for her. She asks him about Macy and the flower drawing. He deflects and lies for a bit until he finally tells the truth. Yes, he was hooking up with her. They'd been FWB for a while when they were home, but cut it off when they got to sc...

Schedule January 6-10

Hello, Hello. Happy Sunday!

We are finally back to a pretty normal schedule this week. This is totally a relief, as my life is much better when I'm organized and have a plan. Taking so many days off is supposed to be relaxing, but it's also kind of stressful knowing that you've just got to figure out how to make everything work afterwards. Lol.

Also, we've gotten ourselves to a place where I don't feel completely overwhelmed by the amount I'm doing (at least I didn't feel that way...

Tell Me Lies: 1X5 Merry Fucking Christmas

Man was this episode telling to how Stephen ended up the way he did. Good lord. Not that I'm excusing any of his behavior, but this certainly explains some of it.

So, we've got both Stephen and Lucy's POV for their Christmas. Both have complained about how horrible their mother's are. And they seemed to bond a bit over it. But, when we look inside both of their homes, they are nothing alike.

Stephen is in a tiny home with his mom and two siblings. And his mother is a nightmare. Sh...

Sons of Anarchy 3X11: Bainne

I swear to god. I am going to be so disappointed if I don't see someone put a bullet in Jimmy before this season is over.

So we show up to the 'orphanage' only to discover that Abel was adopted two days ago. And Kellan knew it. Jax demands to adopted him, but the nuns claim they have no idea. That is, until Gemma grabs a baby and holds a gun to it's head. When she threatens to shoot the baby, the nuns somehow remember they have the info. They give it to Jax and heads to the hotel where ...
