Everything is a Hot Mess Over Here

Seriously. I was not able to get everything finished. I'm sorry. I'm really struggling over here. I definitely am trying to do to much.

We leave tomorrow morning, my flight anxiety has me not sleeping, I feel awful. I'm so broke. How are other people managing to do this? Half the damn world is on Patreon. Are they all hemorrhaging money? 🤷‍♀️ Just me, good.

 (I was planning to bring my laptop to get some stuff done while we're away, but we didn't purchase carry on ba...

9-1-1 7X8: Step Nine

Dude. This episode was so good, but it didn't really seem like an episode of 9-1-1. Well, the flashbacks did, but the current stuff, not so much.

Anyway, the nurse that I guessed wanted to be a firefighter from last episode, was actually a survivor of the apartment fire that Bobby started. (So, not even close on that prediction). He shows up at Bobby's AA meeting and is compelled to speak after Bobby talks about how good his life is (because he's pissed and doesn't think Bobby should be...

Sons of Anarchy 3X3: Caregiver

Come on, Tara. I know you thought you were doing the right thing, but there was zero chance she wan't gonna try to escape. You're lucky she didn't kill you.

So, Gemma's got the caregiver blindfolded, and taped to a wheelchair in the basement. Tara goes down to look at some her bruises, and takes pity on her, allowing one of her wrists free. With that, she's able to grab an oxygen tank, hit Tara over the head with it, and escape.

However, as soon as she's upstairs, she threatens ...

Arrow 5X15: Fighting Fire With Fire

You guys. My discussion (and pretty much everything after Chase is revealed to be Prometheus) is a hot mess. WTF. I spend half of the time debating over whether this actually happened. I mean, really, how did this happen?

So, Oliver is dealing with impeachment. Someone needs to take the fall for this, so he decides it's going to be the Green Arrow and he spins it to look like he turned and is now killing cops. (No idea how we're gonna come back from that).

Either way, the Vigilant...

One Tree Hill 8X16: I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here

I was so afraid that with this title, it was gonna be more of Chuck singing show tunes. Still way too much Chuck (how the hell did he make the team, it's objectively terrible) though.

So, we're trying to throw Haley a baby shower, but she's making it hard. Quinn is tasked with getting her to Brooke's house, but Haley just wants to lie around. Eventually, Quinn is forced to tell her it's her shower in order to get her there.

However, earlier that day, Brooke and Julian met with a w...

Wildfire 4X10: The Comeback

OMG, I'm so happy. I love that our family is getting back together. I don't know what this means for Kris and Junior, but Pablo being back at Raintree makes my heart happy.

Also, I'm pissed off at Dani. I know I've been talking about how much I like her as of late, but come on girl. Noah is right. She's such an awful person when she hangs out with her dad. Please, love, ditch the racing and just go back to working at the clinic. It totally brings out the best in you.

So, with Jean...

Schedule December 9-13

Okay, so before we get into it, full disclosure: we leave Wednesday, I'm almost certain I won't get everything that needs to be done, finished before we go. I'm so so so so sorry. I think I'll get the entirety of this upcoming week finished. The following week will not happen on time. What I can promise is that everything that is supposed to come out next week, will come out next week. But, I'm almost certain you won't get anything Monday or Tuesday. We get home Tuesday night.

True Blood 4X5: Me and the Devil

So, this is kind of weird. I think S4 is my favorite season so far. However, right now, I'm really only interested in what's happening with Sookie and Eric. (When this is over, I'm gonna read so much Sookie/Eric fanfic. Ooh. They just have so much more chemistry than she and Bill.

However, I think all the B plots are a lot stronger than the previous seasons.

But first, Eric, after a bad dream, ends up asking Sookie if he's evil. She assures him he not. But then, Tara shows up scre...

9-1-1 7X7: Ghost of a Second Chance

Oh god. This episode really got to me. I mean, most of this show does, but it seems particularly bad today. I think it was Maddie that really did me in. For whatever reason, Maddie crying kills me.

So, we get a 9-1-1 call about a women who has been abducted with her baby. She's speaking with Maddie in code, and eventually, he catches on, gets upset, and crashes the car. However, when the 118 show up, the only person in the car is the woman. Both dude and baby are gone.

Arrow 5X14: The Sin-Eater

Okay, so we've got some intel that claims that the Green Arrow killed Malone. Which, true, but we don't know the whole story. However, that doesn't stop the police from barging in on him while he's about to round of the 3 runaway prison ladies. He's all like, 'You're letting them get away!' and the police are like, 'We don't care. We're here for you.' So, he does some light flash thing with his bow and disappears.

He immediately heads to the Arrow cave where he discusses this with Felic...

Sons of Anarchy 3X2: Oiled

Okay, when I watched this, I think I understood what was happening, but now I'm not sure. I think the Mayans are patching in some Calaveras members to help with the drug running for the prison. And the drive by at the funeral was an initiation for them. I think. But, I'm not really sure why they need these members. I'm sure I'm missing something.

Anyway, we finally have a sit down with Jimmy who lies and says that Cameron is still here. But he knows he's in Belfast. In Belfast, Cameron ...

One Tree Hill 8X15: Valentine's Day is Over

I don't know if this episode simply benefited from coming after the last one, but I thought this was pretty sweet and lovely. I really enjoy seeing the dynamic of how couples in various stages of their relationships celebrate.

But Haley, come on, you know there is ZERO chance Nathan is buying jewelry for someone else. And also, why are you looking for your presents anyway? Don't you wanna be surprised? Also, who hides things if the pantry? This is, like, the worst place to hide a gift. ...

Wildfire 4X9: Vows

Okay, I have to say, I really like that Kris and Junior actually stopped when they got to Vegas to think about this before they went through with it. They realized it was quick, and maybe hasty, and took a minute to think. And, when they ended up not getting married, it didn't change anything between them. I think this is very mature of them.

But, the actual reason they end up not getting married is because Matt calls to tell Kris that Jean was knocked over by a horse and is in the hosp...

Prison Break 1X10: Sleight of Hand

I had no idea how they were getting back into that CO break room, but I knew if anybody could figure it out, it would be Michael.

So, Michael and Abruzzi come up with a plan to 'give up Fibonacci' to Falzone. Michael explains how he went about finding him in the first place, and then finally, tells Falzone where he is. This gets Falzone to put the money back in Abruzzi's hands to give to asshole guard, so we get our PI work back.

But the guy who's been finding the broken rock eve...

I kinda don't care about anything that is happening with this show right now. Even though Fiona continues to piss me off, I guess her shit is the most interesting, but that's not saying much.

The Vampire Diaries 2X22: As I Lay Dying

Holy mother fucking shit, you guys. How am I going to survive S3? This finale was everything I had no idea I wanted and needed. I thought it was mostly just gonna be finding a cure of Damon, and we'd worry about Klaus next season. But things have taken a turn.

Damon is hardcore dying. It's fairly similar to Rose when she was bitten by a werewolf. However Damon put her out of her misery. Something Stefan refused to do for him. He ends up locked Damon in the basement cell so he can figure...

9-1-1 7X6: There Goes the Groom

For whatever reason, this felt very quintessential 9-1-1. Present to past, people almost dying but being fine, Dana crying a bunch. All the usuals. Honestly, I was shocked at this episode. After the 'teaser' for this in 7X5, I was not expecting this.

So anyway, Buck and Eddie show up 30 minutes late for Maddie and Chim's wedding (after having a Hangover-esque bachelor party without Chim). However, they have no idea where Chim is. No one has seen him in maybe 24-48 hours. Something like ...

Arrow 5X13: Spectre of the Gun

I truthfully, don't know if I liked this episode. It felt very heavy handed about social issues. Did this maybe come out shortly after a mass shooting? Now, that being said, most of my discussion veers off into that same topic, (and I mostly agree with what they were going for) but it still felt a little weird.

However, I did really love the Rene backstory. Although, you guys have to tell me what I messed up here. Rene is very much pro gun. Later, he claims it's because if he had a ...

Sons of Anarchy 3X1: SO

Okay, so it seems like we haven't lost a step since the end of S2. This episode was so good. But, that's probably no surprise at this point.

We spend most of this episode (obviously) trying to track down Cameron and Abel. However, we keep finding people that have seen Cameron, but without a baby. Leading us to start to believe that he's either killed Abel or just ditched him somewhere. But, it turns out, Cameron is in Belfast with Abel. No idea how or why, but at least the baby is still...

One Tree Hill 8X14: Holding Out For a Hero

I truthfully have no idea if the stuff with Brooke, Haley, and Quinn adorkably endearing, or ridiculous. But, it did make me laugh. Although, I have no idea if it was because of how awful it was or how charming it was.

So Brooke, who is super bored without a job, decides to make superhero costumes for her and Haley. Haley finds this ridiculous. But then Quinn shows up (after Clay turned her bungee jumping date down, itching for some adventure) and totally wants to play. So, she gets a c...

Wildfire 4X8: Life's Too Short

Dude. I so did not think this was going to work out at the end. There were just too many obstacles, and it happened so fast! Wasn't Junior just about to get married, like, three weeks ago? Granted, Kris is the reason he didn't, but still.

So, Matt is headed to a race, and neither Kris or Jean can come, so they are left at the farm to be awkward with each other. However, it doesn't take long for Jean to reach out to Kris. They end up watching the race together and it goes so well, that J...
