Sons of Anarchy 1X12: The Sleep of Babies

It feels like this episode could totally have been the season finale. I have no idea what they could possibly do next episode to top this one.

So, Clay and Tig come up with a plan for Tig to kill Opie. But it's folded into a plan for them to get some money. (They are going to need cash to pay the lawyer for Bobby). Clay goes and talks to the Niners. He tells them that the club is gonna sell guns to the Mayans. But they picking up the cash elsewhere. Once SOA are clear, the Niners are th...

9-1-1 6X9: Red Flag

I enjoyed this episode more than I enjoyed the last one. That might be because it was better, or it might be because it was a Bobby centric episode and those always seem to be lovely.

So, the Santa Ana winds (which I wish I lived in) tend to cause craziness to occur. Sure, some strange calls; a Murder House that keeps calling 9-1-1, a sleepwalker who manages to drive a car that isn't hers into the 118, a merry-go-round of severed body parts. But, as per usual, the best parts are with ou...

One Tree Hill 7X21: What's in the Ground Belongs to You

Oh, it's just getting worse for Haley (which is tough since she almost burned the house down last episode). But, she knows she's supposed to be moving on, but can't figure out how. And since we get her internal thoughts via voicemails to her mom, we can see how tenuous her mental state is.

And Nathan is doing, literally, everything he can to try to help her. He tries to get her to go to therapy, spend time with her, do the housework, get her to talk to him, go for car rides, walks, recr...

Wildfire 3X6: Kiss-Kiss

I swear, every episode now, I get more and more confused about where they are trying to go with this triangle. At this point, it feels like both of them love Kris, and Kris loves both of them. I highly doubt we are getting a throuple on an ABC Family show though. Lol.

Anyway, so it turns out, Flame has a crooked leg. And, to cut his losses, Ken is planning to sell him. Once Kris finds out, she comes up with some treatment options and presents them to Ken. She begs him not to sell for tw...

Felicity 4X13: Kiss and Tell

I didn't love this episode. But, honestly, that has been a lot of this season.

Why are we still all a hot mess? Why are Sean and Meghan trying to date other people? Did they forget they are married? Why does Elena no longer exist?

So, Felicity spent an entire episode trying to get her art into a gallery, and then spent all that time trying to defend that decision to her mom, only to pick her career out of a course catalog? I know I'm being overly harsh here, and I'm all for tryin...

Shameless 8X10: Church of Gay Jesus

I'm sure this is a mean, shitty thing to say, but I'm glad Fiona is getting screwed over right now. She's been so fucking self righteous thi

I'm sure this is a mean, shitty thing to say, but I'm glad Fiona is getting screwed over right now. She's been so fucking self righteous this whole season. I'm glad something bad is finally happening to her.

So, the family of the guy who fell off her roof has been living the lot next to the apartment. Fiona feels bad, so she asked Trevor if h...

The Vampire Diaries 2X11: By the Light of the Moon

Okay, so it looks like the werewolf bite, at the very least, injures a vampire. When Rose is initially bitten, the would heals pretty much immediately, and she and Damon are pleased it was a myth. However, not long after, the spot of the bite becomes painful and looks infected. I don't know yet if this is going to kill her, but it's certainly not harmless.

Anyway, Elena is still busy trying to sacrifice herself so save everyone. So Bonnie ends up magically trapping her in the house so s...

Sons of Anarchy 1X11: Capybara

OMG. I hate this bitch so much. I mean, at least everyone else on the show seems to hate her too. But seriously? She's trying to paint Opie as a rat. I hate this. The worst part is, they all sort of guess that she is setting him up, but then they don't believe it later when they Tig gets 'proof.'

Anyway, bitch lady (no, I still don't know her name, but even if I did, I'm pretty sure I'd still call her bitch lady) goes out of her way to make it look like Opie turned on the club and went ...

Arrow 4X22: Lost in the Flood

So, Felicity manages to find Genesis so Oliver and Dig can go and break out Thea. Of course, right before they get there, Malcolm ends up drugging her and getting her to turn against Oliver. The two of them end up fighting and eventually, Oliver manages to get through to her, and she's back on the right side.

Meanwhile, Machin has got Ruvé and Darhk's daughter chained up and threatens to destroy the entirety of the city, starting with Ruvé if Darhk doesn't show himself. However, Darhk...

9-1-1 6X8: What's Your Fantasy?

I'm not sure how I felt about this episode. It probably wasn't my favorite. It's hard. There are so many characters on this show (and they really do a good job giving them all their own moments), but sometimes it feels like too long since certain characters get the spotlight.

It feels like we've haven't gotten a lot of Eddie, Buck, Maddie or Bobby lately. This episode was a lot of May, who I like just fine, I just care more about other people. I don't know.

Anyway, we're got Maddi...

One Tree Hill 7X20: Learning to Fall

I don't know if this is better or worse than I feared for Haley. Self medication or self harm is what I was afraid of, but her having a complete break from reality and almost setting the house on fire is not what I expected.

So, Haley is completely out of it. She's sort of walking around like a zombie. She doesn't seem to comprehend or understand what is going on. She bails on her music video and doesn't answer the phone for hours. Eventually, Miranda gets in touch with her and Haley t...

Wildfire 3X5: Love vs. Work

So, we're still playing this Kris/Matt/Junior love triangle. And I honestly don't know how I feel about it. The problem is, she seems to have chemistry with both of them. And both of them seem like they would be a good match for her. (Or maybe I'm just happy it's anybody but Kerry).

Anyway, this episode, we've got Kris trying to get Wildfire ready for the upcoming race. But, unfortunately, he's just not getting ready fast enough. And, to make things even worse, the guy who is boarding h...

A Quick Apology

As per usual, I'm behind. 🙄 With the exception of Wildfire, everything that gets posted today, is getting reacted to today. (And it will all come out, no worries, there).

However, on Saturday my sister-in-law and I went to Hershey Park. We had a lovely time, but my voice is shot. I sound awful. I'm sorry. This also means that's my discussions are going to be a little shorter than usual so I can try to save my voice a bit.

I'm sorry!

The Black Phone

I enjoyed this, but I think it would have been so much better without the phone. The Grabber was creepy enough on his own to hold this movie. I don't think we needed a magic phone. It kind of took me out of the thread. But that could be just because I didn't know what I was getting into. I just assumed this was set in reality and then they through this magic in. Still creepy as fuck though.

The Strangers

This was such a good suggestion! Thank you!

To be fair, I slept fine. But I don't think a movie has scared me enough not to sleep since I watched the Exorcist the first time. I was six. My dad told me it was a comedy. I didn't sleep for a long time after that. And I've been chasing that ever since.

Also, I love the 'Why are you doing this to us?' 'Because you were home.' It's so fucked up and creepy.

Schedule October 28-November 1

Hello, hello. Happy Saturday. it feels like we've got a lot going on this week.

We finish Arrow S4 and start S5. This season has been amazing. So much fun. I cannot fathom how they are going to beat Darhk this season, but I'm sure they will!

S7 of One Tree Hill ends this week too. How is that possible? I'm super concerned for Haley. I don't feel good about the headspace she's in right now.

Also, we've got the finale of True Blood S3 this week as well. And I don't know how I...

True Blood 3X11: Fresh Blood

OMG. It took 11 episode, but I finally really, truly enjoyed an episode this season. And I wasn't confused about anything. Huzzah!

So, Eric goes to Russell and tells him that he has the thing that every vampire dreams of, the ability to walk in the sun. And he'll give it to him, if he lets him live.

Meanwhile, Sookie is saved from the basement by the girl who was pissed that Eric left everything to Pam. When she gets upstairs, she sees Pam attacking Bill and she wraps a silver ch...

Sons of Anarchy 1X10: Better Half

Okay, so I was a little confused this episode, because other than the fact that they used it to take down the mob, I don't really know what RICO is, or why it's bad for SOA that they're using it.

Either way, it seems like we're going after the women in the club who have the most to lose, and hope that they crack. Luanne and Cherry end up in jail. (Turns out Cherry is wanted for grand theft and arson). They also go up to prison to talk to Otto. They tell him if he gives them something on...

Arrow 4X21: Monument Point

Oh, god. Felicity is totally gonna beat herself up about this, isn't she? This episode was intense. But honestly, whenever you have a literally countdown timer, it's always going to be intense. We've got, something like, twenty hours.

So, Darhk has started the process of launching the missiles. Oliver asks Felicity if she can hack into the system and stop him. She tells him that her father practically wrote the system they are using, and they should probably try to get him. Turns out, H...

9-1-1 6X7: Cursed

This episode was actually pretty entertaining. I quite enjoyed it.

So, we've got this actress (influencer?) who is convinced that she's cursed. And I can totally see why. Her assistant ends up getting her some ancient artifact from Pompeii that survived after the volcanic eruption. It's worth, like, $20,000.

 First a chandelier falls on her, then hot wax encases her, then she passes out at a New Age store, then she gets in an accident and her car is encased in asphalt. And I'...

One Tree Hill 7X19: Every Picture Tells a Story

Okay, so we've got Haley who is still struggling. And, honestly, I'm a little concerned that she might end up hurting herself. I don't know. Self harm, maybe? Self medicating? That last scene of her getting out of bed and just the pain and anguish she is feeling right now. I'm afraid for her.

Anyway, it's the night of Quinn's gallery opening. Haley is going, but Nathan and Jamie are staying home. They have a boy's night, a blast, and totally destroy the house.

At the gallery, we f...

Wildfire 3X4: Close to Home

So, Kris' trailer burns down due to some faulty electrical stuff and she's forced to move into the Ritter house. She is not super comfortable with this. And is itching to figure out how to get out of the house.

Turns out, there's a roping contest that she convinces Matt (who is apparently a roping champion) to join with her. But he's only got two days to teach her how. First prize is a brand new trailer! However, while he's teaching her, things get kind of intimate, and Junior shows up...

Horror Movies

You guys, I know this is super last minute, but I'm planning to film two horror movies tomorrow. Friday, October 25. Do you have suggestions?

I've seen so many. And I'm looking for stuff that is actually scary. Like, I want to be afraid to go to sleep. Leaving a list of things I've seen is silly, because I've seen so much stuff, but I'll let you know if I've seen it.

What I really want to watch is 28 Days Later, but it's not streaming anywhere and hasn't been for a good long while...

Heartstopper 3X2: Home

So, Nick leaves for three weeks, and Charlie isn't doing particularly well. He's withdrawn and sad, and his mom is not helping. He's also thinking about what Nick said is doing some research on whether he actually may have an eating disorder. Tori finds the info on his laptop, and is also concerned about him. She texts Nick and asks when he's coming back because she's worried about Charlie. Nick calls him and Charlie confesses he thinks he does have an eating disorder. Thankfully, Nick's aunt...

Heartstopper 3x1: Love

I was afraid that I'd have forgotten everything that happened last season, it's been awhile, but these people are exactly as lovely as the last time we saw them. If you haven't watched the reactions for the first two seasons, this is really just a lot of me smiling and swooning.

Anyway, so Charlie is resolving to to tell Nick that he loves him before Nick leaves for a 3 week vacation. However, Charlie is also struggling with some disordered eating, and Nick has resolved to talk to Charl...

Shameless 8X9: The Fugees

I was much less endeared by Frank in this episode than the last. Could be because he straight up punch a little girl in the face and stole her horse.

Anyway, I really love what's going on with Ian right now. I don't know if he's still working as an EMT, but if his not, he should totally be whatever Trevor is. Or a motivational speaker. And, i...

The Vampire Diaries 2X10: The Sacrifice

So, between last episode and this one, Katherine has decided that now she does want our of the tomb. She's hungry and bored. She wants Bonnie to figure out how to get her out and in exchange, will give up the moonstone and leave town and they'll never see her again. (I hope that part's not true).

They come up with a plan for Bonnie drop the spell just long enough for one of the brothers to run in, grab the moonstone, and get back during. During this time, they will throw some ashes on K...

Stranger Things 4X5: Chapter Five: The Nina Project

I don't know if it was just me, but it feels like they tried to shove way too much story into way too short of an episode. This was one of the shorter episodes of the season so far, at about an hour and 15 minutes. But it felt like they tried to put a whole season into this one episode! There were, like, five storylines happening at once. And, whenever we transitioned, I forgot all about the other plots. But, that could just be me. I'm forgetful. 🤷‍♀️

Owens takes Eleven down in...

Arrow 4X20: Genesis

And of course, Darhk is still two steps ahead. Fucking loser magic guy.

So, Oliver and Felicity head to meet up with Constantine's contact who is supposed to teach Oliver how to defeat Darhk's magic. However, it turns out, he's not the best candidate since he's full of darkness. Which, apparently, feeds into his magic. Bitch. Why didn't we just give Felicity the lessons? There is no way I'm the only person who thought of that. Especially after Oliver tells Felicity that she is the light...

Sons of Anarchy 1X9: Hell Followed

So, while Jax is busy taking care of dead Kohn, the rest of the club are worried about him. You know, since a gang war has basically broken out.

Unser shows up and makes Clay come down to the station. Clay shows him that the Irishman was shot by the Mayans. And the two bullets he took were meant for Clay himself. While at the station, Clay convinces Unser to bring down the Mayan dude. They come up with a truce; Clay will supply them with guns, and all the bad blood between them is unde...
