Felicity 4X10: Fire

This show is starting to wear me down. I'm sad to say that I'm kind of happy that we are nearing the end. I used to love this show so much, but lately it's sort of just been dragging along.

So, Noel's therapist tells him to try to go no contact with Felicity as she's a distraction for him and tends to make him lose focus. He tries, but it's hard. Especially when there is a fire in the building they are in and he is forced to save her. However, afterwards, she asks him to please come in...

Shameless 8X4: Fuck Paying it Forward

This episode was fine. It certainly wasn't as good as last episode. We're back to fairly normal problems. Which is hard to content with. The characters should grow and change. That's what makes for good TV, but for whatever reason, I don't really want that on this show. Lol.

So, Sean's back. He shows up at the house and Fiona ignores him. He shows up at Patsy's and they make a plan for dinner. She was totally planning on standing him up, but then, at the last minute (well, well past the...

Friday Night Lights 5X9: Gut Check

I really enjoyed this episode. It seemed like the perfect blend of football and drama.

So, the Lions finally lost a game. The coaches are blaming (amongst themselves- not to the team) Vince. They think he's lost control of the team. And he kind of has. It's all me, me, me. Vince asks him to work with Luke as a backup QB. Vince doesn't want to, but reluctantly agrees. However, he never shows up to the session, and Luke is left there along. Jess comes by and tries to work with him. But s...

The Vampire Diaries 2X5: Kill or Be Killed

So, Katherine really did put all this in motion, didn't she? That said, I have no idea why. But she's totally behind this.

After Damon trying to kill him last episode, Mason isn't so thrilled to see Stefan asking for a truce. When he refuses, Stefan tells him that there are two of them and only one of him. Plus, he's only strong on a full moon, so he should back the fuck off. Mason agrees as long as Damon doesn't do anything. They shake on it. Damon then shows up and asks Stefan if he r...

Arrow 4X13: Sins of the Father

Oh, this is going to get so messy, isn't it?

So, Malcolm is swearing up and down that there is no lotus that can cure Thea, but if Oliver can prove there is, he will absolutely give up his ring to Nyssa to get it. Turns out, it's real. And after a short demonstration where Thea is instantly better (for a short while), he immediately agrees to the terms.

Oliver, Malcolm, and Laurel meet up with Nyssa in Nanda Parbat to exchange the ring. But, at the last second, Malcolm reveals it...

Sons of Anarchy 1X2: Seeds

Okay, so Jax has proven once again, that he's hesitant to having to actually kill people. To make a long story short, those dead bodies in the basement of the warehouse both had Tig's DNA on them (as he was having sex with both of them) which would lead law enforcement back to the group. So, they need to get rid of those bodies ASAP. Unfortunately, the gonna be new chief isn't as wiling to look the other way to SOA's illegal dealings as the current (about to retire) chief is. He's got round t...

9-1-1 5X17: Hero Complex

I didn't love the Eddie stuff in this episode, but if it helps him figure out how to get back to 118, I'll take it. Also, this was two episodes in a row that I really cried. Not just some silent falling tears, but crying, crying. Stop putting Chim in danger!

We finally get to the bottom of the Jonah mystery. Turns out, he saved a bus driver who was having a heart attack as a child and got a bit of fame. Then, he spent the rest of his life chasing that high.

Hen, who was still con...

One Tree Hill 7X11: You Know I Love You...Don't You?

Heads up: I spend a lot of time screaming loudly at Alex. Maybe don't have your volume all the way up. 🤣

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, I know I should feel something about this end scene with Alex, but I don't. They just spent way too much time making her unlikable for me to care about this. Also, this just feels like another way to try to manipulate Julian.

So, it turns out that they...

Wildfire 2X9: Breakdown

Okay, so, Kris is on Picaro, racing against Wildfire. She's super conflicted. Of course, she wants to win the race because it helps her career as a jockey, but she also wants Wildfire to win, because, it's Wildfire.

During the race, Kris makes a late break with Picaro, however, as she's passing Wildfire, she looks back when she thinks she sees something off with him. Just as this happens, Picaro, falls, causing Kris to fall. Picaro bumps into Wildfire and neither Wildfire or Picaro win...

Friday Night Lights is Coming to an End

We need to replace Friday Night Lights. This is for $15/tier and up, as Friday Night Lights is a Patreon exclusive.

So I've got some ideas, but I'd really rather set a poll based on what you want. There have been some shows that have had a lot of votes in the past, but they came from my brain. I want to see what comes from yours.

I'm giving you guys five days to put down whatever you want, as many as you want. At the end of five days, I'll put everything into a poll (forgive me if...

True Blood 3X8: Night on the Sun

So, I mostly understood what was going on this episode. The vampire politics were keep to a minimum. Lol.

Sookie and Bill break up. Neither of them really want to, but they think it's probably best for Sookie. Bill goes him, super upset and Jessica is thrilled that he is there. She needs help and she's tired of being alone. Instead, he chooses to release her, which she totally doesn't want. She flat out refuses to leave. Eventually, he ends up training her to fight the werewolves becaus...

Schedule October 7-October 11

Hello, hello. Somehow we've already made it to October. This year has gone so fast. We're in South Carolina this weekend to see our friends. We wanted to watch the Jets in London together. So, we're flying out Saturday morning at 6am, and back Monday morning at 6am. And I am an awful flyer. So, I've got that to look forward to. Fun. But that means the Monday stuff will probably be up a little later in the day. It's all recorded and uploaded, but I didn't have time to do the descriptions yet. ...

Arrow 4X12: Unchained

So, basically, Thea's bloodlust, without an outlet, is killing her from the inside. Malcolm tries to get her to murder some people, Oliver sets a meeting with Darhk in hopes that they can make some sort of trade, but Thea says she doesn't want any of that. She'd rather just die. Eventually, she slips into a coma. But, just as that is happening, Nyssa shows up with some flower that will counteract the effects of the pit. And she'll give it to Oliver if he agrees to kill Malcolm. Dude. As much ...

Sons of Anarchy 1X1: Pilot

Okay, so, this was super fun. I have a feeling it's going to get complicated though, and I'm going to have to pay attention. Lol. There are a crazy amount of characters already.

So, we've got the Sons of Anarchy who are a motorcycle gang. Basically, the first thing that happens is there warehouse is stolen from and set on fire. (Which was full of guns they were supposed to give to another gang). They know it was the Mayans so they go to steal their guns back and blow up there shit.

9-1-1 5X16: May Day

You guys, this show is trying to kill me. I'm pretty grateful that my tears don't show up on camera all the much. Lol.

So, May has finally had it with Claudette and she starts yelling at her in the middle of the floor. Sue drags the two of them into the quiet room to work out there differences. Where at first, they just mock and snap at each other, but eventually, they do kind of clear the air.

However, the center ends up on fire, and in all the chaos, May and Claudette are forgo...

One Tree Hill 7X10: I Am a Runner and You Are My Father's Son

So, Nathan has officially fired Clay. He is not (at least as of this point) playing basketball for the Bobcats, or anywhere actually. Clay tries to fix the problem, but the agency asks him to resign, which he won't do, so they fire him too. Haley is super pissed at Quinn about this. You guys know I'm Team Haley and so not a Quinn fan, but I cannot fathom why Haley is upset at Quinn for this. I think she's actually upset that Quinn and David are getting divorced, and it's just easy to be upset...

Wildfire 2X8: Fear

So, the stupid mobster guy is back. But, honestly, if we forget that he's the actual villain in this episode, it's a good story.

He tells Kris that his horse is running against Wildfire, so she needs to throw the race. If she doesn't, Pablo will be implicated in the missing guys death. He then tells Kris that Pablo was in jail because he killed someone. And if she doesn't wanna ruin his life by letting everyone know this, she'll just throw the race. Also, if she talks to Pablo about thi...

Friday Night Lights 5X8: Fracture

Dude. Everything is a hot mess right now. I don't even know how to describe it.

So, Derek shows up at the Taylor house looking to talk to Julie. Eric chases him off with a bike part that he proceeds to beat his car with. Then, he shows up at Tami's job and tells her that he can get Julie back to school if he can just talk to her. She wants nothing to do with it. Eventually, he meets with Julie and convinces her to go back to school. He tells her he quit is job, so it's fine for her to g...

Shameless 8X3: God Bless Her Rotting Soul

I think this was my favorite episode of the season so far. It kind of got me back to why I originally liked Shameless in the first place.

So, we start with the family trying to figure out how to deal with the meth situation without involving Fiona. However, after the dude shows up at the house and tries to drown Carl and holds Ian at gunpoint, they realize that's no longer an option. They need to pay this guy off and the only way to do that, is to get Fiona and Liam's share of the meth,...

The Vampire Diaries 2X4: Memory Lane

Ugh. Why is this show so good? I don't know if people like Katherine, but I think the episodes are so much more fun when she's around. I mean, she's certainly not one of my favorite characters, but stuff is sure interesting when she's around.

So, Katherine has again tried to trick Stefan into thinking she's Elena. And it works for a bit longer this time. However, he was literally waking up from a very vivid dream, so that's got to be disorienting. I won't hold this against him. However...

Stranger Things 4X2: Chapter Two: Vecna's Curse

HOPPER IS ALIVE. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Turns out, he somehow managed to survive the explosion and was immediately captured by Russians soldiers and taken back to Russia. After he is beaten and tortured for not giving them any information (but especially about Joyce who they have a picture of), he's put into a prison that is supposed to be hell. Turns out, the prison guard is the same person who contacted Joyce with the doll. She and Murray call the number and figure out what's going on. ...

Arrow 4X11: A.W.O.L.

So, Felicity is home and is having hallucinations of her former self. She's afraid that she's no longer useful to the team, as her brain is her asset, and there is a lot going in there right now. (Plus, again, hallucinating). She tells Oliver she's not ready to get back to work yet, but while they are out dealing with a crisis, and in need of her help, Oliver calls and asks anyway. However, while she's working on security systems, her former self shows up and badgers her to the point where sh...

Outlander 7X8: Turning Points

I both cannot believe, and hate, that this is the last Outlander for quite some time. How did this show, that I thought was about boring history stuff I knew nothing about, turn into the greatest love story I've ever encountered?

So, we get a classic Jamie and Claire to start with. Claire finds Jamie unconscious (?) on the battlefield being pickpocketed and threatens to kill them if they don't get the hell away from her husband. Turns out, he's mostly okay, but then he's got to listen t...

9-1-1 5X15: FOMO

So, I hate that this episode is causing me to question my life. May and I seem kindred that way. How do you know if you are living the life you want? The life you sought out? What if you just stumbled into your existence and went with it? Ugh. I do not want to be obsessing over this. Thanks, 9-1-1. 🙄

I also kind of strongly connected with Karen in this episode. She's feeling her age, but doesn't want it to hold her back from enjoying her life. She spent much of her 20s getting a PhD,...

One Tree Hill 7X9: Now You Lift Your Eyes to the Sun

Oh, this episode was rough. I'm super concerned about Brooke and Julian. And I don't think any of this is either of their fault. And the ending with Naley. And whatever the hell is going on with Millie. Oof. No one is having a good time right now.

So, Brooke is basically at her breaking point with Julian and Alex working together. But, he's just told her the script is done and he won't be seeing her much anymore. Brooke is thrilled with this info. Alex, not so much. She's desperate to c...

Wildfire 2X7: Taking Off

Ooh, this feels like a situation I would get myself into. Being proud of myself to trusting my instincts and being right, but then getting fired anyway, because I was told to do something else. Also, having to deal with feeling like I'm betraying someone who saved me seems like a shitty place to be in.

So Kris gets a gig riding for some famous trainer guy, but the way he wants her to ride conflicts with the knowledge that Pablo gave her, and her own instincts. He tells her she's smart a...

Friday Night Lights 5X7: Perfect Record

Oh, this episode was so much better than the previous one. If we could just stop caring about this Julie BS, it would all the better!

So we start by getting Jason back. He's a full time agent and is telling Eric he's gotten a lot of calls about him. He's done so well with the rag tag team, that colleges are looking at him again. He tells Jason, it's nice to hear, but he's happy where he is.

However, right after this meeting, Eric finds out that the someone over on the other side ...

Felicity 4X9: Moving On

OMG. This episode felt like it was 12 years long. It was just so slow and didn't want to end.

So, Felicity asks Noel if he wants to get together and talk. He agrees, but immediately after rescinds, and claims he thinks they should both be trying to move on.

Felicity is not thrilled with this info and just wants to wallow, but Javier reminds her that they've got plans to go see a play that night. She tries to get out of it, but he won't take 'no' for an answer. He then, plans the s...

Shameless 8X2: Where's My Meth?

I felt mostly meh, about this episode. There's nothing wrong with it. But I think it's nearly impossible to continue the insanity from the first few seasons for so long. But, the extreme craziness is why I'm watching.

Frank's got a job. And he's doing so well that they are making him a supervisor. No thank you.

Fiona is attempting to collect rent checks at the apartment. It's not going all that well, and she evicted her first tenant. She gets Debbie to weld down the door. I though...

The Vampire Diaries 2X3: Bad Moon Rising

Okay, so, we've got Alaric, Elena, and Damon going to Isobel's old office to look for information on werewolves (or any other supernatural references to Mystic Falls they might find). Elena isn't crazy about taking this trip with Damon, especially without Stefan, but she really wants to look for information on Katherine, so she goes. Stefan, meanwhile, is staying behind since Caroline is still a new vampire and she's not having the easiest time right now.

They are met at Duke by Isobel'...
