Arrow 4X10: Blood Debts

OMG. Felicity's fine. Well, I guess fine is relative, but she's alive and doesn't seem in any immediate danger of dying. Who cares if she can't walk? Oliver certainly doesn't seem to. And honestly, she mostly just zooms around on her chair from one computer set up to another, so it's probably fine, right?

So, while Felicity is in the hospital getting multiple surgeries, Oliver is beating the shit out of every ghost he can find in hopes that one of them will tell him where Darhk is. But,...

Outlander 7X7: A Practical Guide for Time-Travelers

Okay, so I HATE that we're getting so little Claire and Jamie. This is stupid. Why are we focusing so much on Roger and Brianna? I don't care about them! I would happily watch a whole series where Jamie and Claire just sit next to each other for an hour for 23 episodes. GIVE ME CLAIRE AND JAMIE.

So, Jamie is getting ready to leave for the first battle. He says his good bye to Claire and heads out. Meanwhile, William is heading for the same battle. He's very exciting and ready to prove h...

9-1-1 5X14: Dumb Luck

Okay, so I actually really liked the 'theme' of this episode. I also really like how it tied into Eddie's current issues.

So, basically, Lucy caught a lady who fell off the top of a building, It's driving her crazy because people the news wants to interview her about it, but she doesn't feel like she actually did anything to save her. However, later, we find out that she's a trauma surgeon, so by saving her, countless other people end up getting saved in the process.

Eddie is stil...

One Tree Hill 7X8: I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight

Okay, so while this isn't really the episode i wanted, it was actually really fun. After all the Naley stress of the last few episodes, all I wanted was for them to be enjoying each other peacefully. But we got an entire episode where they didn't even interact with each other! But getting to watch Haley be high might have been worth it. 🤣

So, we split up in this episode. The boys (minus Clay) go camping, and the girls have some pot brownies at home. The camping stuff is fine, but the...

Wildfire 2X6: Nothing Takes the Past Away Like the Future

Um, I kind of really hate this plot with Pablo. He's been gone so much. Now, he's finally back and we get mobsters? No. I don't like it. This dude is so not intimidating. I kind of want to giggle every time he's in a scene. This is so not working for me. Although, I am curious as to how Pablo got mixed up with these guys in the first place.

In other news, Pete is totally trying to weasel his way back into Jean's life. But, Jean was so ready to sleep with him, that I can't really blame h...

Schedule September 30-October 4

Hello, hello.

I've been super busy lately. Dan and I have been homebodies for pretty much the entirety of our 25ish year relationship. Lately, Dan has decided he wants to do stuff. So, I've been leaving my house, way more often than usual. And, as an extreme introvert, I'm exhausted way more than I typically am. I don't mind doing stuff I enjoy, but it takes me a long time to recover from it!

So, this upcoming weekend, we're going to our friend's house. We're in NJ. They recently ...

True Blood 3X7: Hitting the Ground

I am still utterly confused about what's going on. Every episode I'm more upset that I can't figure out what is going on. This was a hit show. A zillion people watched it. Why am I stupider than all of the people?!

So here's what I can gather:

Sookie stakes and kills Lorena or was on top of Bill. There is a volcano of blood and she turns into a giant pile of goo. However, Bill is gravely injured, he's alive, but that's about it. Sookie gets Tara and werewolf guy to help her move ...

Arrow 4X9: Dark Waters

Okay. Up until the end of this episode, I was really, really enjoying it. I thought it maybe going to be my favorite episode. But then, they hit me with this? Are they serious? I mean, I knew once the two of them got engaged, that they were too happy, and something was going to destroy it. But I didn't want it to be this! I honestly have no idea if Felicity is gonna live or not. But Barry being the one who was with him at the grave makes me nervous.

Anyway, Oliver does some hippy crunch...

Outlander 7X6: Where the Waters Meet

Um, I stayed up until about 2am last night reading Outlander fan fic, and now everything is scrambled in my head. Hopefully, this description makes sense. 🤣

So, our group gets ashore, and Jamie has them head to the woods. One of the women refuses to get off the boat because she's afraid of Ian. Sister lady convinces her that Ian is fine and they head off. However, they almost immediately hear whooping and what sounds like Indian cries, so Jamie gets them to hide, while Ian goes to ch...

9-1-1 5X13: Fear-o-Phobia

I'm sorry, they took Maddie and Chim away from us for months, only for him to find her and they immediately break up?! I hate it here.

So, Maddie and Chim are back. Maddie seems to be doing much better. She seems happy. However, Maddie has nowhere to live. She was hoping to staying with Buck for a little while, but Taylor has moved in.

Speaking of Taylor, Buck finally told her the truth about Lucy. (Mostly- she thinks Lucy is a random girl at a bar, not his partner, and he doesn't...

One Tree Hill 7X7: I and Love and You

You know, when I was watching this episode, I was annoyed at the way it was structured. All I wanted to do was see how it was gonna go down with Renee. But we had all this all bullshit in between. But, in hindsight, I think this was a really good way to present this story. I'd like to apologize for my yelling about it during. 🤣

So, anyway, Renee is on Dan's show. Unbeknownst to her, the final segment is her getting hooked up to a polygraph machine to see if she's telling the truth. T...

Wildfire 2X5: Family Matters

So, Matt is playing both sides. However, I do believe he's actually playing both sides fairly. (Although, that last minute advice that he gave to Dani's jockey was the opposite of the advice that he gave to Kris, but I just thought it was they were different horses, but I could be wrong). And with Matt training both Wildfire and Picaro, he got them to place first and second. That's a hell of an accomplishment, I feel like.

The odds on Wildfire are 4 to 1. Everyone is excited. Jean is a...

Friday Night Lights 5X6: Swerve

I'm mad at this episode. They gave me a stupid amount of Julie and TA story (that I so don't care about) and didn't show me a winning football game! WTF. I hate this. This episode had way too much drama and not enough football.

Okay, to be fair, I guess the Julie stuff was well done, but Julie's drama is not why I'm turning into this show. Neither is the drama with Vince and that gang dude. However, I am totally here for the drama between Vince and Luke about who stole whose scholarship...

Shameless 8X1: We Become What We...Frank!

I'm concerned about this season. I feel like half the reason I watch this show is to watch how fucked up and dysfunctional everything is. However, nothing really seems that crazy right now. All of the storylines fairly normal and expected for average people at this point in their lives. I understand that characters need to change and grow, but this doesn't feel like the same show it once was. But, in S8, how can it be, really?

So, Carl (who is home from military school for the summer- b...

The Vampire Diaries 2X2: Brave New World

Okay. So, Caroline is officially a vampire. How did she figure that out? I'm pretty sure (but correct me if I'm wrong) that she didn't know vampires existed before this. It must be so confusing and disorienting to wake up like this and not have anybody around to tell you what's going on. I mean, eventually, Stefan tells her he'll help, but she was totally alone when she woke up in the hospital.

Anyway, Stefan catches Jeremy up to speed about vampires, and gives him some vervain. Damon i...

Arrow 4X8: Legends of Yesterday

So this is the conclusion of our Flash crossover episode.

Malcolm plans for us to meet up with Dothraki guy to figure out what to do. On the way there, Flash ghosts (?). We find that that there is no negotiating to be had, and we'll be handing over our Egyptians or both Central City and Star City will be wiped out. We've got 24 hours (I think).

Shortly after, Oliver goes to his baby mommy and steals some hair from the kid. He asks Barry to test it and finds out that he's Oliver's ...

Stranger Things 4X1: Chapter One: The Hellfire Club

You guys. I have no idea what is going on with the monster stuff, but I finally learned where that Hellfire Club tee shirt comes from! This is a banner day for me!

Okay, so, we start back in 1979 and the original doctor is doing experiments on his subjects. While, he's working with 10, he says that six and their handler are screaming and now there's a bunch of blood. An alarm then goes off, and an explosion happens, knocking the scientist unconscious. When he wakes up, he wanders throug...

Outlander 7X5: Singapore

Honestly, this episode was kind of boring. Too much of it was spent on Brianna and Roger's family. We also got a bunch of William and that brother and sister doctor duo. And what we did get of Claire and Jamie, was very light on the two of them together. Also, we have to keep in mind that we're back to history stuff, so I'm often confused. Sigh. 😳

So, William and the doctor duo are traveling, and they run into some dude that tells them they are going the wrong way. (And he seems susp...

9-1-1 5X12: Boston

We've finally got Maddie and Chim back! But I feel like this was a weird episode. It did not feel like an episode of 9-1-1 at all. BUT, we 100% needed this episode. And I certainly enjoyed it (I mean, as much as you can when you cry through most of it), but it still felt like an odd episode of this show.

We back up 6 months and see Maddie dropping Jee-Yun off at the firehouse. Then she drives to the coast and tries to drown herself in the ocean. She finds her way to Boston and gets hers...

One Tree Hill 7X6: Deep Ocean Vast Sea

I'm so torn right now. I desperately want to believe Nathan (and most of me does), but I just cannot fathom why this woman would doing all this when it's gonna come out when she has the baby that it's not Nathan's. And by that point, his reputation will already be ruined. Unless he did something to hurt her that he doesn't know about, and this is revenge, what is the point? Also, I don't know how I feel about Nathan's excuse for her number being on his phone bill. That actually sounds like a ...

Wildfire 2X4: Dangerous Liaisons

After the recap, I thought this was going to be all romance all the time this episode. And while we did get some, it was so much more than that. I really enjoyed this episode.

So, Jean and Charlie go out of town leaving Matt and Kris to take care of things. She really didn't want to but they talked her into it. Almost as soon as they leave, Dani shows up and begs Matt to go look at a horse for her. She's sure it's perfect, her dad thinks she's gonna get ripped off, and she needs to buy ...

The Flash 2X8: Legends of Today

So, this is our next Arrow/Flash crossover episode!

I don't really know what is happening with the Flash people who are still at the lab. I mean, I'm very confused. Was that guy who got shot evil? He seems evil.

Anyway, Cisco's girlfriend (from what I can gather) is some kind of 4000 year old Egyptian woman, who is soulmates with this flying guy. The Dothraki guy constantly tries to kill him (and has already 206 times). Every time he kills them, he gets stronger. And they have to ...

Felicity 4X8: The Last Thanksgiving

So, we've got what will probably be the last Thanksgiving, as we all graduate (or move on to med school or whatever) at the end of this season. While, no one had any plans, Sean shows up with groceries the day before and announces he's cooking. Meanwhile, Meghan is convinced that the potion she's making will get Ben and Felicity back together. Then Meghan realizes that their oven is broken so they need to host at Felicity and Elena's place. Which puts Ben and Felicity in the same space. Ben d...

Shameless 7X12: Requiem for a Slut

I'm not sure I enjoyed this episode. It sort of didn't really feel like an episode of Shameless. Yes, Monica died, but too many good things are happening right now. The Gallagher family is generally half a step forward, sixteen steps back. Right it feels like they are all racing toward the finish line.

So, Monica dies. Ian and Carl both come home. Carl has an attentive, upstanding human. (He's stopped for groceries on the way home and is cooking breakfast- literally on top of Frank- bef...

Friday Night Lights 5X5: Kingdom

Okay, so I'm confused about Eric's calf/cow comment. Are we saying that TMU cannot ask anything official from Vince right now because he's a junior? And they asked Luke to come in hopes that they could covertly talk to Vince? That's what I kind of thought, but then Eric was telling Vince's dad about the 13 year old that committed, so how does that work? I must have something wrong here. Any ideas?

Either way, Eric, Vince, and his dad decide that all recruitment will go through Eric. The...

The Vampire Diaries 2X1: The Return

Holy hell. I was concerned that because the S1 finale was so good, this episode couldn't help but disappoint at least a little. Boy was I wrong. This was amazing. I really hope that Katherine sticks around awhile (but I hope the actress who is playing her is getting paid extra right now) because things are confusing and messy, and it's making for great TV.

We start pretty much exactly where we left off last episode. Elena finds John and calls 9-1-1. He warns her someone else is in the. ...

Outlander 7X4: A Most Uncomfortable Woman

So, we've decided not to head to Scotland after all. While we're still in Wilmington, we run into one of the guys from the Sons of Liberty and he tells Jamie that he's basically conscripting him to service. He tells Claire about it and she says she'll come along as a doctor. Ian says he loves the country and wants to fight too. He's agreed to check for Indian tribes who might want to fight with him.

While riding around, he stumbles across William (who is on some mission for the British ...

9-1-1 5X11: Outside Looking In

I'm seriously upset with Eddie. First of all, this is completely normal behavior from Bobby. We've see it after anyone has gotten hurt and wants to come back. Plus, he had the gaul to throw that body count in Bobby's face. I've never been so pissed off at him. I get he's struggling right now, but that's no excuse to treat Bobby like shit.

And speaking of struggling, he really is. He looks awful, he's not sleeping, he's miserable. So much so that Christopher, a literally child, noticed i...

Arrow 4X7: Brotherhood

Okay, so we've discovered that Darhk is controlling all these ghosts with some sort of pills that makes them compelled to follow orders. We also find out that Andy is still alive and apparently working for HIVE. What? I could never have guessed that storyline.

Oliver and co are planning on trying to capture Andy and try to reason with him to get back to the good person he used to be. John is very against this plan and feels like he never knew his brother if he could do things like this....

One Tree Hill 7X5: Your Cheatin' Heart

So, not long after the video of her slapping Renee (yes, I had to look up her name) shows up on the internet, Haley gets arrested for assaul

So, not long after the video of her slapping Renee (yes, I had to look up her name) shows up on the internet, Haley gets arrested for assault and battery charges. Clay, who spent the night with Quinn, has turned off his phone and Nathan can't reach him.

While in a holding cell, the other girls there know who she is and what she did. They try...
