Happy Holidays

I've just set the rest of One Tree Hill S4 available to Novel tier as my holiday gift to you.

When I first started doing this, I remember doing mini binges of episodes for the holidays (I was filming WAY less stuff than I am now) and I thought it might be nice to recreate that a little bit.

Enjoy the rest of your Monday!

Tell Me Lies 1X1: Lightening Strikes

Okay, so this is yet another show that I'd never heard of. I guessed it was a romantic thriller based on the thumbnail on Hulu, and I might not be that far off.

So, I cannot be the only one whose getting horrible rapey vibes from Steven, right? I'm going to feel so guilty if it turns out he's actually a good guy, but if he does, I have the worst intuition. You just know there is something off about this dude. Now, to be fair, he does do everything a guy should do. He's respectful, he li...

Prison Break 1X13: End of the Tunnel

So, Abruzzi is pretty much out for this escape. He's alive, but being transported somewhere via helicopter. Thanks asshole Pocket Boy. No one likes you. (Although, to be fair, he already knows that everyone hates him). Thankfully, C-Note (I finally learned his name) has some guys who can transport them out of the prison.

But Lincoln is still trapped in SHU and he's to be executed in less than 3 days. Michael devises a way to get him into the infirmary at the same time that everyone else...

Felicity 4X20: Spin the Bottle

This is getting ridiculous. We did all this for Noel to break up with Felicity because he thinks she'll never get over Ben? (I mean, he's probably right, but I feel like if she ended up with Ben, he'd think she'd never get over Noel. They are all way too enmeshed).

But seriously, Sean breaks up with Meghan so he can date Julie. But Julie doesn't want to date him, she wants to date Ben. And Ben seems to think that Felicity wants to get back together with him. So he keeps talking to her a...

Shameless 9X12: You'll Know the Bottom When You Hit It

I don't know if I enjoyed this episode as much as the last two. There was just way too much focus on the Carl/Debbie/Kelly bullshit that I s

I don't know if I enjoyed this episode as much as the last two. There was just way too much focus on the Carl/Debbie/Kelly bullshit that I so don't care about.

So, we got a heatwave, which causes a blackout. Frank and Fiona team up to sell cold stuff to the neighborhood and when Frank gives her her cut, she demands more. She's got quite the ...

The Vampire Diaries 3X3: The End of the Affair

So, thanks to Katherine, we find out that Stefan and Klaus are in Chicago. Damon and Elena head over there while Damon tries to tell Elena how awful Stefan was while he was in Chicago in the 20s in hopes that she'll stay home. But she's committed to trying to rehabilitate him.

The two of them head for Stefan's old apartment figuring he'll come back there at some point. Elena stays there and tries to figure out a plan to get Stefan back, Damon goes and somewhere (maybe to the bar? I forg...

Quick Update

So two quick things.

First, I forgot that 9-1-1 was a sponsored show (😳), and we decided to start it back up again around January 10. So if we do it once a week, it'll run into March when the second half of S8 starts. That means, we won't see this again for a few weeks.

Also, Wildfire is being replaced by Tell Me Lies. I just watched the first episode. But, before that, I had no idea what this was. I'd never even heard of it, which is also fun for me. So that'll get posted lat...

Arrow 5X18: Disbanded

So, Oliver is convinced that he ruins everyone who is around him (you know, same old, same old) and decided to disband Arrow and Co. However, the team is not having it. Unfortunately, Oliver has called the Bratva in to take out Chase, not wanting to dirty the hands of anyone on the team.

And the team accidentally gets in the way of the Bratva stealing a bunch of drugs to make other drugs. (Oh yeah, the Bratva is kind of broke right now). Anatoly is not thrilled. Oliver tries to reason w...

Sons of Anarchy 3X6: The Push

Okay, it feels like a lot happened this episode.

So, we've got 3 new prospects (as if this show needs more characters), and we're trying to bring in two new members from other charters. Happy is an easy yes (and I think these have to be unanimous), but the other one is shot down immediately by Tig, claiming he doesn't trust him. Obviously, the two of them have some kind of beef, but I have no idea what it is. However, he (I can't even guess what his name is) and Tig end up working toget...

One Tree Hill 8X19: Where Not to Look For Freedom

So we're back to the Kellerman mystery. I immediately thought it was Ian. I don't know why they all assumed it was the older Kellerman. But then I thought I was wrong. Then I figured he was covering for his son, which seems to be the case.

I really thought Julian might try to kill him in the episode and he'd finally meet his demise. (I do not want this to happen. I love Julian. But I'm convinced he's not going to make it through this series alive).

Anyway, Nathan confronts him abo...

Wildfire 4X13: The Ties That Bind Part II

I'm sad. I loved this show. Why don't they make more comfy, cozy shows? Also, full disclosure, I cry. A lot. And I have no tissues. Sorry in advance.

So, we spend a long time trying to find Wildfire. It's been days and he's still missing. Every running down every half assed lead, Kris finally agrees to stop looking. As soon as she promised that though, Wildfire comes back home. Seems like Ken was not the culprit. Sigh. It was an honest mistake by one of the ranchers who panicked and cut...

True Blood 4X6: I Wish I Was the Moon

Okay so Bill has decided that he going to use his position to finally take Eric out. He's claiming that the necromancer has made him dangerous (when in actuality, he's like a kitten right now) and it's best for everyone if he were to meet his true death.

However, once he has Eric, Eric quickly agrees to being killed (as he cannot remember anything that he's done, but if his king thinks it's worthy of death, so be it). But he has two caveats first. Pam gets released, he figures she's clo...

9-1-1 7X10: All Fall Down

So Bobby ended up having a heart attack from smoke inhalation. And the police seem convinced that it's arson. Meaning, both Athena and I are on the hunt for Amir. Going through some unofficial channels (i.e. Maddie), she manages to find out where he lives and pulls a gun on him as soon as he gets home.

She's insistent that he set the fire. He's insistent that he didn't. However, once she tells him she's bringing him down to the station to sort it all out, the cartel show up. Turns out, ...

Arrow 5X17: Kapiushon

Um, this episode was a little strange. It wasn't bad. It just felt like we were watching a Saw/Dexter mashup of a show instead of Arrow.

So, while Chase has Oliver locked up and is torturing him, we get a bunch of Russian flashbacks. Where Anatoly says similar things to Oliver that Chase is saying.

But, in the present, Chase is desperate for Oliver to tell him his secret. The thing that's so dark he can't admit it to Felicity, Diggle, or himself. For most of the episode, Oliver cl...

Sons of Anarchy 3X5: Turning and Turning

Alright, so I feel like there is zero chance that Jax actually goes through with this deal, right? But, I also feel like there is zero chance he'll not do whatever he can to keep Gemma out of jail and find Abel, right? Ahhh. How is this gonna play out?

So Gemma apparently has a known heart condition that she hasn't been taking her medicine for. So, she ended up in the hospital (you remember, after she collapsed when she found out Abel was taken) which meant she couldn't turn herself in ...

One Tree Hill 8X18: Quiet Little Voices

So, I was sort of annoyed by this episode. It felt too much like a clip show. (Although, to be fair, I didn't really mind reminiscing about long ago Naley). And, I was also annoyed that I was right. I didn't want to be right. I wanted Brooke to have that baby so badly.

Both Haley and Chloe are in the hospital about to give birth. However, Brooke and Julian decide not to tell anyone as they don't want to steal Haley's thunder. Clay and Quinn are there to keep an eye on Jamie while Nathan...

Wildfire 4X12: The Ties That Bind: Part I

I cannot believe this is the penultimate episode. This show was so good. I'm so sad that it's so close to being over.

So, Ken continues to pull strings behind the scene in order to attempt to keep Kris and Junior apart. He's got Junior involved in some new environmental thing that he's really excited about. And Junior's got Kris over as a jockey at Davis Farms. Ken gets in Kris' head about winning a Triple Crown, while he convinces Junior to work on the environment thing.

But, it...

Prison Break 1X12: Odd Man Out

Okay, so we all know that there is one too many people to make the escape. They all sort of decide that Pocket Boy will be the man out. However, Pocket Boy realizes this and tells his cousin about the escape. Then he tells the rest of them that if cousin doesn't hear from him, the guy will call the warden and rat them out.

So, Abruzzi gets one of his guys to go and kidnap him for a little while, just until they've escaped. But, things go wrong and the cousin and it's son both end up dea...

Shameless 9X11: The Hobo Games

I don't know. I know I've spent a lot of time screaming at Fiona for doing everything wrong lately, but I honestly don't think the shit that

I don't know. I know I've spent a lot of time screaming at Fiona for doing everything wrong lately, but I honestly don't think the shit that happened in this episode was her fault. Yes, she didn't help either of the situations, but she's not really to blame. Also, she's at the point now where she really needs help. This isn't her just being a shitt...

Messy Schedule December 23-27

Again, that TBD will end up becoming whatever we're replacing Wildfire with.

Messy Schedule December 18-20

The TBDs are whatever we are replacing Wildfire with. Our sponsor isn't sure yet.

I'm Back.

Hello, hello. We've finally returned. And I feel so much better. You guys, I didn't realize how utterly exhausted and run down I was until I actually feel rested now.

We had a lovely time. Spent a few days with my family. My mom and her boyfriend are so amazing and generous. It just calms me just to be around her. Most of my family is not nearby, and I really miss them.

Then, we headed over to Jacksonville to watch the Jets/Jacksonville game with our friends. While, Jacksonville d...

She demands to go with Gemma to drop off her father. As Gemma puts old family matters to rest, new issues reveal themselves to her.

One Tree Hill 8X17: The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get

The episode starts with Quinn singing a song and eating a toaster pastry. She is happily singing to herself. Haley comes in and she tells Quinn that her water has broken and she needs to go to the hospital immediately. Quinn panicks but tries to remain calm. She picks up her toaster pastry, a magazine and searches for her keys. She finds Clay's keys and searches for her own. Haley reminds her that she’s driving Clay's car that day. Haley looks on amused that her sister is getting so fl...
