Wildfire 2X3: A Good Convict is Hard to Find

Okay, so we've got Kris sort of freaking out about going back to Camp LeGrange. She's doing some sort of volunteering by giving a speech or something. That part isn't really important. What is important is that prior to that, a bunch of inmates come to Raintree on a field trip, and one of Kris' old friends asks if she can get one of the hot sauce tee shirts.

Kris brings one for her when she does the speaking, and the girl changes out of her LeGrange outfit, puts on the tee shirt to ble...

Schedule September 23-27

Hello, hello. Happy Saturday (at least where I am). I've had a crazy weekend. I busted my ass so I could take off Thursday and Friday to go to the Jets home opener. And I ended up working both days. 🤣 It was only a couple of hours each day, but still!

This week we start the Vampire Diaries S2. And I'm fucking tickled. The back half of S1 was so good! Also, we start Stranger Things S4. And I'm nervous. I LOVED S3. I think it was my favorite season. But, our Stranger Things expert, Els...

True Blood 3X6: I Got a Right to Sing the Blues

Okay, so probably no surprise to those who have been following along, I have no fucking idea what is going on. However, I did really enjoy this episode. But I really don't even know how to do a description for it.

So, Russell orders Lorena to Kill Bill. (Ha, see what I did there). But it's obvious, she so does not want to be doing this. Instead she tortures him? I don't know how that is better except that she keeps him alive for longer. I guess. 🤷‍♀️ Eventually Cooter and his c...

Outlander 7X3: Death Be Not Proud

So we start this episode with Brianna and Roger, which is exactly what I did not want. But, it turned out it was just fine. This was mostly about Claire and Jamie and Roger and Brianna just got us into the story. A chest is delivered that is addressed to Jemmy and it's 200 years old. Claire and Jamie wrote a bunch of letter (and sent them some gold as well, I think) and then saved them until they were sure Brianna and Roger were back to their time. Oh, and Mandy is fine.

Anyway, the big...

Arrow 4X6: Lost Souls

Okay, so somehow, Ray is now able to send video messages to Felicity (I cannot figure out how, but that's not important). We discover that he miniaturized himself and suit, and is being held captive by Darhk. He tells Felicity that there are plans for a device to make him regular sized again in his office, and could she build it and fix him please. Team Arrow breaks into Palmer's Tech's competitors (as they are the only ones who make one of the pieces we need) and Felicity tasks Curtis with b...

9-1-1 5X10: Wrapped in Red

I'm a little disappointed. When I realized this was a Christmas episode I was really hoping we were gonna get Maddie and Chim back. I miss them.

So, Bobby and Athena are planning to host a giant Christmas extravaganza. However, people keep canceling on them, and in the end, I think it's just the two of them and Harry. However, during one of the 9-1-1 calls this episode, an apartment building is deemed unsafe to reenter, so the Red Cross put them up in a motel on Christmas Eve. Bobby and...

One Tree Hill 7X4: Believe Me, I'm Lying

It's fashion show day for Brooke, and while Millie is supposed to be in charge and running it, Victoria is also here since she's never actua

It's fashion show day for Brooke, and while Millie is supposed to be in charge and running it, Victoria is also here since she's never actually done it. And of course, Victoria starts immediately making snarky comments to Millie. One of the models was being a bitch to Millie and Alex overheard. And, to get back at her, basically drugs her and tells...

Wildfire 2X2: Opportunity Knocks

So, Kris ends up doing this commercial for hot sauce. When she booked the job, she didn't think it was going to work because Wildfire wasn't able to travel (the farm is under quarantine) and she refused to do the job with another horse. (Also, I love her answer of 'I don't really think about hot sauce at all,' 🤣). But, they want her for the part so much, that they end up moving the location to the farm, which means, Raintree also gets paid for the location, which really helps, as this farm...

Shameless 7X11: Happily Ever After

I'm so glad that Mickey wasn't able to escape who he is. If this trip at had smoothly, I think Ian might have ended up going through with it. But, because, everything went poorly, he ended up bailing right before they cross into the border. However, Mickey does make it, so there's a chance he gets to live a life of tequila on the beach.

Kevin gets a job at a gay bar, where the customers love him. I thought he was gonna be a bartender, but it looks like he's just dancing on top of the ba...

Friday Night Lights 5X4: Keep Looking

Okay, so I know I spent a lot of time talking about Buddy Jr. was just a typical teenager, but maybe I was wrong. This does seem to be a little bit worse than that. However, I do not buy for one second that he went from the way he was acting to 'yes sir-ing Eric' in one day. I need way to believe this. He breaks into Buddy's bar, gets drunk in the middle of the day, steals his credit card and his car, and the next day agrees to join the football team even thought he doesn't like or know how t...

The Vampire Diaries 1X22: Founder's Day

OMG. This season finale was pretty much perfect. But, to be fair, the entire second half of this season was amazing.

The big news is that the anti-vampire group got intel that the tomb vampires would be attacking the founding families during the fireworks. So, they plan to use the device at that time. However, the sheriff thinks it's too dangerous with all their family members out right now, so John knocks her unconscious and handcuffs her to a drawer (or whatever).

Anna shows up ...

Outlander Season 7, Will Become Sons of Anarchy. Well, Sort Of.

Yes, I realize how grammatically incorrect that is, but getting the point across in a tiny amount of words is hard!

So, Outlander S7 is split into two parts. The first 8 episodes are already out. The second half will be released around Thanksgiving. (Or end-ish of November for those not in the US).

Heather, our Outlander sponsor, has decided that they want to do Sons of Anarchy for a bit before the second half of the season drops. Also, we think Outlander is being released once a ...

Outlander 7X2: The Happiest Place on Earth

So, we did finally get the truth of what. happened to Malva. And it's awful. Turns out Christe really did do it, but not that Christie. It was Allan, not Tom. And Tom really did just admit it because he loved Claire and wanted to get her out of jail. So, Allan killed her because he was in love with her and she was carrying his child. He wanted them to be together, but she didn't love him. And it drove him mad that she slept with other people. It's totally fucked up, but kind of on brand for h...

Arrow 4X5: Haunted

So Sara is free, and running around around killing people. But not any people, people who look like Thea. Apparently, since Thea was the one who killed her, this is who her bloodlust is targeted at. Since the previous Ra's is dead, Thea's bloodlust doesn't have a particular outlet, and she's just going after everyone.

Eventually, Sara does attack Thea, but Thea survives and ends up in the hospital. However, this doesn't stop Sara. She finds Thea and Thea basically gives her permission ...

9-1-1 5X9: Past in Prologue

So, I'm still having issues with the Buck and Taylor relationship. That said, I'm really trying to get over it. If Bobby is okay with it, I should be okay with it. Plus, I really want Buck to be happy. However, it's hard knowing what she tried to do (and would have if the station wasn't attacked by LAFD lawyers). I wonder if we got this episode to help us feel more sympathetic towards her. I can't be the only one who still feels resentment toward her.

In this episode, we have her gettin...

Stranger Things 3X8: Chapter Eight: The Battle of Starcourt

Okay, so it definitely was a piece of the Mind Flayer/Demogorgon (I'm still not sure of the difference between the two) stuck in El's leg. Initially, Jonathan tries to dig it out with a knife and and his hand, but eventually, she tells him she'll do it herself, and uses, basically, all her strength to get it out. Afterwards, she's completely drained, and never gets her powers back.

Hopper, Joyce, and Murray show up, and come up with a plan. The three of them will go down to the gate, Du...

One Tree Hill 7X3: Hold My Hand as I'm Lowered

I don't know where we're going to end up here, and I have no idea if Nathan and Haley made the right decision, but I'm afraid that either way, it's gonna end up messy.

So, Haley is both in shock and upset (but not really pissed, as she also thinks Nathan didn't do it) when she sees the pictures and ultrasound photo. Honestly, I think she's ju...

Wildfire 2X1: Try it Without the Porsche

So, I'm pleased to note that this first episode of S2 had the same vibes I loved so much from S1. I was a little worried. I'm thinking about (this isn't a spoiler) how Gilmore Girls went from it's cozy vibes in S1-3 to not so much later on. It's still my favorite show I love S4 and 5, but you can tell something is missing.

Anyway, even though Kris lost the race, she's caught the eye of a sports agent. He approaches Jean about talking to Kris, and while Jean doesn't want her to do this ...

Shameless 7X10: Ride or Die

Dude. Ian is really about to blow up his entire life for Mickey. Love makes you do some crazy things, I guess. But running off to Mexico with a guy who is a prison escapee and leaving a really loving guy seems insane.

But anyway, Fiona is doing pretty well at the laundromat. Happy hour is a hit, and it's going pretty well. But then Fiona's sort of boss, shows up at Patsy's and tells her she wants to buy the laundromat. Fiona tells her no. And she ups her price by 10 grand. She leaves Fi...

Friday Night Lights 5X3: The Right Hand of the Father

Okay, so the party from last episode is circulating on social media, and parents are calling the school asking for the football players at the party to be expelled. (You know, the same parents that Tami couldn't get on the phone two episodes ago). Anyway, Eric convinces the principal to let him handle it.

He tries to stress to the players that they need to be better, have integrity, whatever. So his solution is to make them wear suits on game day and do some community outreach stuff (wh...

Felicity 4X7: The Storm

Ugh. I watched this episode so many days ago. And I remember saying it was fairly boring (for an episode that really shouldn't have been) and it's proving accurate because I don't remember much about it at all.

Ben, to his credit, is taking this as well as he can. His usual response in instances like this, is to go straight to violence, but so far, he's been keeping a pretty level head about it. Maybe he's got some growth happening. But mostly, he's just trying to avoid Felicity, while ...

The Vampire Diaries 1X21: Isobel

OMG. So much happened this episode. It was insane. And in a lot of ways, it also felt like a giant set up for next episode, which is crazy, because a lot of the time, I feel like these 'set up' episodes aren't that great on their own. How have I been sleeping on this show for so many years?!

Okay, so, Isobel asks Ric to set a meeting between her and Elena. He refuses, but after she threatens to kill his entire history class, he has a change of heart. He meets with Elena, Stefan, and Dam...

Outlander 7X1: A Life Well Lost

I am legitimately shocked, that they didn't keep Jamie and Claire apart for a much longer amount of time. I figured if I was lucky, they'd get back together next episode, but I was planning on 3 or so episodes. I'm so happy!

So, it doesn't take all that long, actually, for them to get to the jail. Unfortunately, Claire is already gone. Some soldiers showed up and took her as they needed a healer. Turns out, a governor (maybe, they called him 'your excellency') had a pregnant wife that n...

Arrow 4X4: Beyond Redemption

So, Oliver finally finds out about Quintin working with Darhk. And it doesn't really go over well, but eventually, Oliver asks Quintin to stay on and help spy on Darhk.

Also, we've got Laurel telling Quintin right away that Sara is alive. Not months and months later, so I guess this is a step in the right direction. However, he's horrified over what Sara has become. After a conversation with Darhk, he comes back later fully planning to kill Sara, but Laurel changes his mind.

Meanw...

9-1-1 5X8: Defend in Place

I was hoping that this was going to bring the character of David more into the story, but it turns out that we're losing both him and Michael! I hope it's not forever!

Anyway, David tells Michael at the beginning of this episode that he's going to Haiti to help with medical relief. After initially being shocked, Michael realizes that he wants to marry David, so he plans to propose. The day of the proposal, Michael shows up at the hospital to pick David up, but there is an explosion in ...

One Tree Hill 7X2: What Are You Willing To Lose

So, first off, this was a zillion times better than the previous episode. I don't know what I was on about, but this was so much better. I'm

So, first off, this was a zillion times better than the previous episode. I don't know what I was on about, but this was so much better. I'm also not sure of what exactly what was better, but I'm pro it.

Again, I hate the Mouth/Skills/Millie stuff. Just talk to each other and figure out a solution. This is not the way to do it! Grrrr.

I...

Wildfire 1X13: Loyalty

OMG. I HATE that this is where they left me! I was waiting all episode for Kris to get to race Wildfire, and then they cut me off at the starting gun! No thank you! I do not like this!

Anyway, Tina does what we expect her to do. She takes the money and races for Davis on Avatar. Well, of course. I mean, we made her character so plainly transparent, how could this go any other way? (And I don't mean that as a slight against the writing. I just mean, they set it up super well).

Spea...

Schedule September 16-22

Ugh. I was so busy trying to not to get behind, that I totally forgot about the schedule. I'm sorry! Also, I did this in about four minutes, so let me know if I made any mistakes.

I'm trying to get everything done for this week by Wednesday, so while I'm not behind any more, I'm still not as ahead as I need to be. But we're making progress!

This week we're starting S7 of Outlander, which I think is the last season that currently available, thankfully, we get 16 episodes of it. We'...

True Blood 3X5: Trouble

Okay, so here's the truth, I have ZERO idea what is happening this season. None. Zilch. Nada.

I don't even know how to react, as I have no idea what's going on.

Bill is still acting weird (but sort of less weird this episode, it seems like the weirdness is an act or for a specific reason). But he has made contact with Sookie when a werewolf told him she was nearby and having sex with Alcide (yes, I had to look up his name). He showed up and told her to GTFO. No explanation. Just l...

Arrow 4X3: Restoration

So, in this episode, we've got our OG Team Arrow on one mission, and Laurel and Thea on another.

Thea and Laurel head to Nanda Parbat to bring Sara back to life, as well as get Malcolm to help Thea control her blood lust. Neither works out super great. Initially, Malcolm refuses to help them with Sara. He said it's never been done with a dead body and he's only heard about it through lore. He also tells Thea that some sage can help her, but the best thing to do is just kill someone ever...
