9-1-1 6X6: Tomorrow

So, we get both the aftermath of the 9-1-1 call that we left off with last episode, and the beginnings of Karen and Hen's relationship.

OMG. Chim set them up?! Also, present day Karen seems so much calmer and laid back than previous Karen. Love that for her.

Anyway, we get the explosion in the lab, and it turns out Denny is there. It's Take Your Child to Work Day. Thankfully, he gets out almost immediately and physically, is completely fine. However, he's on the phone with Hen whe...

One Tree Hill 7X18: The Last Day of Acquaintance

Ugh. You guys. There was so much ugly crying by me this episode. I'm so sorry. Why couldn't I cry beautifully like Haley? Sigh.

So, we're dealing with the 'how soon will Haley's mom live?' And the answer is, not very long. She and Haley are making soup, when Haley runs upstairs (I cannot remember why). But when she comes back down, mom is unconscious on the ground surrounded by the soup. She ends up in the hospital with not much time left. We are all hanging out with her in the hospital...

Wildfire 3X3: Moving On

Is anybody still surprised that Ken is trying to screw Dani over? The only person who doesn't seem to be expecting it is Dani.

Anyway, after Gillian realizes Matt is upset about Dani taking Flame back, she decides to get out of the relationship. She offers to sell her shares in Davis farm back. But, when Dani shows up with a proposal, Gillian tells her another farm has outbid her. With no extra money (and unwilling to throw Flame into the deal), Dani has to admit defeat. However, the ot...

Felicity 4X12: Future Shock

Okay, so this was actually a decent episode, as far as recent Felicity episodes go.

Felicity spends most of the episode freaked out over the fact that she's graduating in a semester and has no idea what she's going to do. Her mom tries to talk her into being a realtor, but that just doesn't seem her style. She knows she wants to do art, but is unsure how to get started. She and Owen (I think his name was Owen. That other TA she went on a date with), spend the episode pounding the paveme...

Friday Night Lights 5X13: Forever

I'd like you guys to know that as I'm typing up this description, I'm still crying. It's been a rough day for me and TV. Nearly everything I watched today was worthy of tears. And so much of this reaction is me ugly crying. I'm sorry. I do not want to let this show go. Maybe the last two seasons were not as good as the first three, but fuck, this show burrowed it way into my soul. And this series finale was beautiful.

So, Eric and Tami are still at odds about what to do next year. We fi...

Shameless 8X8: Frank's Northern Southern Express

I quite liked this episode. I don't know what it was. There was something really charming about Frank. I also really, really liked door guy knocking Fiona down a few pegs. She's can't believe that this guy might not be into her.

So, Frank is busy running trying to sneak people into Canada. He's got a good operation set up. He sneaks in people, and brings back cheap Canadian medication. It's only been half a trip, but so far, so good.

Also, I love what Ian and Trevor are doing here...

The Vampire Diaries 2X9: Katerina

So, I totally lied last episode. This plot line is actually really good. Lol. Also, can someone tell me if Nina Dobrev is actually Bulgarian? Or was this language dubbed? The pronunciation seemed way too good for an actress who doesn't actually speak the language.

Anyway, we get even more backstory on Katherine. Back in 1490, she was taken with Klaus. The oldest vampire in the world. He was in need of a human doppelgänger (which Katherine was) in order to break the vampire curse. Appar...

Sons of Anarchy 1X8: The Pull

Fuck, I loved this so much. There's zero chance I was the only one freaking out about Jax and Tara having sex 3 feet away from the dead guy, right? But, I also couldn't have been the only person who loved that he was dead, either.

So, Kohn leaves Darby (although I had to look up his name, I know it started with a 'D') some info about SAMCRO and the IRA. The Nords and the Mayans decide to team up to finally take them down. If they dismantle SOA, the Mayans get the gun running business, a...

Arrow 4X19: Canary Cry

Um, you guys, I think Laurel is actually dead. I can't figure out a way around this. I'm still sort of grasping at straws that whatever she and Oliver talked about that we didn't hear was about faking her own death for some ultimate 'take down Darhk goal.' But it's getting harder and harder to believe that. However, it's super odd that Barry shows up, but neither Sara or Roy, right?

And I don't really wanna be all 'yay' about it, because this episode is a downer, but Felicity is back! B...

9-1-1 6X5: Home Invasion

Please, please tell me Hen is not leaving. I mean, it's fine if she wants to go work at the hospital (we're there often enough), but please tell me she's not leaving the show. (I mean, don't actually tell me, but I so do not want that!) I cannot bear to part with her and Karen. I'm extra concerned because the last call to 9-1-1 came from Karen. I'm afraid this disaster might end with both of them off the show.

Anyway, we've got all these robberies happening in the middle of the day. At ...

One Tree Hill 7X17: At the Bottom of Everything

Ugh. I knew she was gonna walk into Alex being there and it still upset me. I was prepped and everything! I do wonder though, if it's actually Julian in the show and not Alexander. I wonder if he and Alex switched rooms for the night so she could get some sleep. I mean either way, I'm 100% sure it's innocent, but it's a lot easier to explain if Julian says he wasn't even there.

Anyway, Haley is still trying to deal with the fact that there is nothing for her mom to do. She convinces her...

Wildfire 3X2: The Fued

Okay, so Kris is busy running herself ragged just to make as much money as possible. She feels awful about what Kerry did and is desperate to help the Ritters with some money. However, it's not nearly enough.

And, to make matters worse, it turns out the Wildfire is sterile, so all the deposits they'd taken to breed with him need to be returned. And Jean has already spent that money.

When a farm comes looking to potentially board a dozen horses there, which would really help out mo...

Practical Magic

Well this was a movie I watched. I didn't really love it, but somehow still managed to get emotional at the end of the movie. I think the aunts were the best part.

Also, I kind of want to reread that fanfic now.

Halloween Drunk Re-watch

I'd like you to know that I did film this. But, I had very little time in which to get drunk to watch said film. And I really over compensated. What does this mean? It means I got really, really drunk. And I'm not actually sure if I'm going to post it. 🤣

But, we've got Practical Magic coming out later today. And at least two other horror movies yet to come before the season is over. So all is not lost. But seriously, should I post this crazy drunken re-watch?

There is one oth...

Schedule October 21-25

Hello, hello. Happy Saturday!

If you can believe it, Friday Night Lights wraps up this week. I'm sad. While seasons 4 and 5 weren't my favorite, they were still really good seasons of TV. I cannot believe we are at the end of this journey. But, this means that Prison Break starts soon. It won the poll with 62.5%. I had no idea it was popular. And this is really going to be a totally blind reaction. I know literally nothing. I assume some people are in prison and are trying to break out....

True Blood 3X10: I Smell a Rat

Okay, so Sookie is part fairy. But mostly human. How did so many people (who were not Sookie) know this? Either way, turns out that fairy blood is delicious and delectable to vampires. Which is why there aren't really anymore fairies, vampires ate them out of existence.

Eric, who is sure that Russell is coming to kill him, draws up a will and leaves everything to Pam. While this is going on, Sookie, who is supposed to be being watched over by Jason, leaves to go talk to Eric.She asks hi...

Arrow 4X18: Eleven Fifty-Nine

There's zero chance that Laurel just dies in a random episode, right? I mean, we've got people coming back from the dead left and right on this show. However, someone does die. We know this for sure. I mean, it could be Laurel. But this seems like a weird time for her to die. I'm not buying it. At least not yet. Maybe this is all orchestrated for Darhk's benefit?

Anyway, turns out that Andy really is on Darhk's side and Oliver was right. Malcolm shows up to steal the statue thing for Da...

9-1-1 6X4: Animal Instincts

I don't think this was my favorite episode. But we did get some good stuff. I particularly enjoyed Hen and Buck getting drunk (and Hen being able to drunkenly do the math to save the dog). Also, I really liked Buck genuinely taking the time to considered whether or not he would actually be okay with being a sperm donor.

But anyway, so Bobby is back. He tells Hen that he heard about med school and he's sorry. He offers to call someone and explain the situation, but Hen declines. He then ...

Sons of Anarchy 1X7: Old Bones

So, we've got Clay lying to everyone about the bodies that were found over on 44. It seems like only he and Gemma know the truth. They saying as little as they need to about the situation. Clay tells the club that it was Mayans from, like, 25 years ago. Jax finds out that one of the bodies is actually Lowell's father. (You know, the guy I just learned existed in this episode, but he's like a son to Clay). he tells Jax that he got caught in the middle of a shoot out. He knows he shouldn't have...

One Tree Hill 7X16: My Attendance is Bad But My Intentions Are Good

Ugh. Taylor. Stop. I can understand your reaction later in the episode, but just going out of your way to piss everyone off first thing in the morning is annoying. Also, if Jamie thinks you're too much. You're a problem.

Anyway, both Quinn and Taylor are currently staying at the Scott house. And of course, Taylor is annoying the shit out of everyone, so the sisters can't stop fighting. Eventually, Nathan and Jamie head to Clay's house to get some respite. And some cereal. They aren't th...

Wildfire 3X1: Fairy Tale Endings

Fucking Ken, man. Jean is right. This guy is just fucking awful. After his kids did the best they could to keep things afloat when he thought he might end up in jail, his next step is to try to take back the assets he just left them. Seriously. This guy is a snake.

Anyway, Kerry has been found. He's in the hospital, but unconscious as of yet. Turns out, none of the money the Ritters or Kris are supposed to have is accessible to them. Weird. Eventually, Jean calls and asks about the purs...

Shameless 8X7: Occupy Fiona

Poor Lip. He's trying to best he can to take care of his drunk friends, but they are making it very difficult for him. I get that he feels like his sobriety is sort of tethered to theirs, but he's really going above and beyond here. And it doesn't help that Youens found a way to get drunk before he took the stand. I'm not sure how much jail time he got, but he seems content with the fact that booze is his best friend.

I'm still pissed at Fiona for this. Ian might be taking things a litt...

Friday Night Lights 5X12: Texas Whatever

I can't believe we've only got one more episode. I expect to be very emotional during the finale. This show was so much better than I expected it to be. I'm going to miss these characters.

So, we've got Tami who really wants to take this job in Philadelphia. But Eric is being stubborn about it. He's not even really willing to have a conversation about it. He just keeps talking about his job. And Tami's all, 'Dude, we've moved around for your job for 18 years. Maybe it's my turn.' He doe...

The Vampire Diaries 2X8: Rose

It's been a bit since I watched this, and I'm still not sure whether I liked it or not. Parts of it, absolutely. Others, not so much.

So, Elena is kidnapped by some vampires we don't know to be used as a bargaining chip to get these vampire out of a debt. Okay. This is the part I wasn't really into. These two vampires crossed some really old vampires 500 years ago, and in order to get forgiveness (so they can stop running) they are giving them Katherine's doppelganger. Again I say, okay...

Stranger Things 4X4: Chapter Four: Dear Billy

Holy shit. This episode was so good. I totally get why people liked it. Ugh. This 100% could have been a season finale. Also, Max can totally handle being the main character. I hope I stumble across her as a leading lady in the future. Plus, I can't get Running Up That Hill out of my head. This is gonna be one of those songs that gets associated with an episode for all time. I know it.

Let's start with Max. She spends the episode basically trying to do a goodbye tour. She doesn't think ...

Arrow 4X17: Beacon of Hope

So, I totally, 100% do not remember Bee Girl. At all. Should I? Did I watch that episode?

Anyway, some Bee Girl has decided that she's got to have Felicity's spine implant. Apparently, she's got a tumor on her spine and once it's cut out, she'll end up paralyzed. If she could get what Felicity has it will save her, but it's uber expensive. We might have said something like $900,000.

So to accomplish this goal, she has a bunch of killer bee robots attack everyone until Felicity giv...

Sons of Anarchy 1X6: AK-51

Okay, so I know I said last episode that it was my favorite so far, but now I wanna say this one is. And I think I'm going to stop saying that because I feel like C.J. is right. It's just getting better every episode.

Anyway, Jax and Piney sell some of the guns to some survivalist that Piney vouches for. However, immediately after, they use the guns to stop a prison transport and kill a cop and two innocent bystanders. ATF (and that horrible two cent knock off of Gemma) finds a cell pho...

9-1-1 6X3: The Devil You Know

Okay, so this could so easily have been an episode that I hated. Focusing on solving a 40 year old case in Florida, far away from our friends. And had it been any other case, I think I might have. But this is the case that get Athena to be a cop. And we got to see her do what she does best. Most of the time, we're heavily focused on the 118 since most of our characters are there and Athena doesn't always get to shine. But she really did in this episode. Also, I feel kind of validated for imme...

One Tree Hill 7X15: Don't You Forget About Me

Oh, I kind of adored this episode. I'm such a sucker for 80s stuff, references to stuff I know, and theme parties.

My poor, little, sad Haley. I hate this for her. But it also made me want to keep watching. I desperately wanted someone, anyone to remember her birthday. Especially after the way she woke up. All primed to be spoiled and then she got nothing. 😢

So, Haley and Quinn and throwing an 80s themed fundraiser at the high school. And I have to say, they really went hard wi...

Wildfire 2X13: Close Shave

So, as much as I've been bitching and complaining about Dani (and I still am gonna in this episode), I think she's right about what happens after she get controlling interest in the farm back.

Basically, Kris has freaked out Wildfire by feeling some kind of way about leaving Raintree and heading over to Europe for who knows how long. After the two of them sort of hash it out, I mean as much as you can with a horse, things seem to be better.

Kerry is promising Kris the world, if sh...
