9-1-1 5X4: Home and Away

OMG. I don't think I would have been able to handle it, if I were Hen and Eddie. Can you imagine, telling someone that their daughter was alive, and then have to tell them you were wrong? I admit it. I'm a coward. I would totally have let the doctor do it. How Hen was able to have that conversation, I'll never know.

Um, why did we want Claudette back? I don't think she's really any better than other of the other operators. Plus, she's totally a bitch. And not just to May. I mean, it's w...

Dude. I cried way too much during this episode. Between Peyton, and the Brook/Sam stuff, I was a mess.

I actually, cannot tell if Victoria was actually trying to be helpful in this episode. Even if she was though, I'm still mad at her. And even when she's trying to be 'nice,' she's still a bitch. I'm super pleased that Sam called her out on i...

Wildfire 1X9: The Party

So, I got myself into the same predicament again. I watched this episode about five days ago, but I'm just now writing the description for it. Eek!

From what I remember, Jean and Pablo go out of town for some horse related reasons. She leaves Matt alone, and asks him to fix a crack in the wall and build a bookshelf. Junior shows up and immediately talks him into a small party of about 30 people. Of course, tons of people show up. (Not to mention Junior renting a photo booth, a cotton ca...

Friday Night Lights 4X12: Laboring

Ugh. I hate this. Why can't TV just let anyone be happy? Sometimes, life is good. But no, as soon as Tim says he's happy, you know something awful is gonna happen. And it does. He's just loving his life right now. He likes working at the shop, he's bought his land, he's just become an uncle. And immediately after all this delightfulness, he gets arrested for the chop shop stuff. I'm so concerned that he's gonna take the fall for Billy since Billy just had the baby. I mean, I guess it doesn't ...

Shameless 7X7: You'll Never Ever Get a Chicken in Your Whole Entire Life

While this title was insane, I kind of enjoyed this episode. Well, minus the Frank and Liam stuff. Yes, I know I was asking for stuff for Liam, but this is not what I wanted. I guess don't give me what I want, give me what I need?

Fiona has owned the laundromat for like, one day, and is already like ten grand in the hole. That's totally on her for just wanting to buy something and not doing any kind of inspection for anything. She doesn't have to money to fix anything, so she ends up st...

The Vampire Diaries 1X18: Under Control

So after binging on the human blood last episode, Stefan is trying to go cold turkey this episode. It's not going well. He's got terrible withdrawals (and it doesn't help that Damon is trying to tempt him into caving by leaving human blood all over the place), and ends up getting a bit aggressive with Elena. But to his credit, he throws himself into a wall before he can hurt her in any way.

Later, at the Founders Day party (didn't we just have one of these?), Stefan finds himself confro...

Stranger Things 3X6: Chapter Six: E Pluribus Unum

Okay, so we're at the point now, were we all sort of know of what's going on. I mean, we don't have all the same information, but we all know enough to know that shit is bad.

Joyce and Hopper are using Murray (I looked up his name) to translate for the Russian guy. After a crazy amount of back and forth and Hopper being a peak Hopper- the Russian escapes and then comes back. He finally tells them about the machine that is under the mall opening up the gate to the Upside Down. Hopper cal...

Arrow 3X22: This is Your Sword

And this show continues to be insane. In the best possible way.

So, it turns out, Oliver really is faking his insane loyalty to the league. And he's in bed with Malcolm on this? I'm sorry. What? I know Malcolm has a deep knowledge of the league and Nanda Parbat, but this seems crazy. (Spoiler alert: it is).

Apparently, Oliver and Malcolm have a plan to dismantle the league from the inside. However, they thought they'd have months, but it turns out Ra's has turned up the timeline, ...

Outlander 6X4: Hour of the Wolf

You know, before this episode started, I asked for an Ian centric episode. I could not have gotten a better episode for that. However, as much as I wanted this, I didn't want it to be sad! I've been super curious about what happened while Ian was away and I finally got the story, and I almost wish I hadn't.

So, Jamie and Ian had to the Cherokee to bring the guns that they requested. As soon as they arrive, Ian realizes that it's not just Cherokee that are here, but Mohawk as well. Then ...

The Rest of Today's Stuff is on the Way!

However, everything that is supposed to be up today, will be. Sorry for the delay!

9-1-1 5X3: Desperate Measures

So, we're on the hunt for both Jeffery and Harry (who I desperately want to call Henry all the time).

Athena and Michael decide they are going out to look for him on their own as resources are spread super thin right now because of the blackout. They get a break when May sees a video posted online of Jeffery dragging Harry into the a car. They end up at Ransone's house and follow a bunch of clues.

Eventually, Jeffery calls Athena and lures her into a 'no cops allowed zone.' Athen...

Wildfire 1X8: The Track

Ugh. I did it again. I've gotten into a rhythm of watching Wildfire several days before it's scheduled to go up. And now I've got to remember what I watched. (I've seen a couple further episodes by now. Eek!)

So, lots of this episode was about who was making Wildfire sick. While at a race, he was expected to do well, and was doing so, until he pilled up and ended in last place. Pablo immediately knew something was wrong. And as soon as the race was over, the jockey (?) called Pablo to c...

Felicity 4X5: Boooz

So, it feels like S4 is about the triangle between Felicity, Ben, and Noel. Without Noel in the picture, it feels like it's going nowhere. And, I didn't even really like the stuff with Noel and Javier (which is crazy because I LOVE Javier) in Atlantic City.

Anyway, Felicity and Elena are having a Halloween party. They are pretty excited about it. Richard tells them he's gonna have the best costume ever. And then, gets stuck in his Darth Vader helmet (while falling for a girl in a Leia c...

Friday Night Lights 4X11: Injury List

Tim finally bought the land! I'm so proud of him! But I'm super annoyed at Becky's mom for being so upset that he rejected her that now she's treating him like actual shit. I've really grown to love Riggins and I do not want to see people be mean to him. Also, it doesn't help that she hits on him after he tells her he's got a bunch of property. She's totally coming off as a gold digger. And I really hate that she took the super innocent night of watching a movie, to mean Tim was sleeping with...

Shameless 7X6: The Defenestration of Frank

Okay, so, while this wasn't the best episode, it does feel like we are actually making some progress in the season.

Fiona, much to Lip's annoyance, has put the house of as collateral to buy the laundromat. Lip is pissed, because he feels like even though the house is in Fiona's name, that it's 'owned' by all of them. And if she defaults on this loan, they are homeless. Fiona assures him she'll make the payments on time, but it's still risky. Just because she plans to pay doesn't mean ev...

The Vampire Diaries 1X17: Let the Right One In

So, Jeremy is hell bent on Anna turning him in to a vampire. However, she's not quite so keen on the deal. She makes him try to convince her. But eventually, Vicki is found dead, and she realizes that the reason he wanted to be turned was to be with Vickie forever, not Anna. This upsets her and she flees.

Elsewhere, Stefan is kidnapped by the asshole whose girlfriend got killed by Stefan when they broke into the Salvatore house last episode. They decide it'll be super fun to torture him...

As Promised

Did I get drunk last night, stumble and fall? Yes, yes I did.

This is why I should drink at home. Much less chance of injuring myself. But, to be honest, if I had the option, I'd never leave my house. I'm such a homebody. If Dan didn't force me every so often, I'd stay in the house for months at a time. As it is, I only leave about once every 7-10 days. Is that bad? I don't think so.

Also, it looks way worse than it is. But honestly, it's not great 😳

Arrow 3X21: Al Sah-him

Dude. This episode was completely unhinged. What is happening right now?

Oliver losing himself into Al Sah-him, sure. I get that. Sort of. It might even be somewhat of a coping mechanism. But him being so far into it that he kidnaps Lyla and almost kills Diggle and feels nothing? Is it possible, he's 'faking' this mind control stuff? I guess, but I don't think he is.

He's told by Ra's that he needs to kill Nyssa. (I don't really get why, but them's the rules). However, Team Arrow ...

Outlander 6X3: Temperance

Fergus! Remember when we used to love you? Don't you wanna go back to that place? I'm really hoping that this is the end of issues with Fergus. I know he's promised Marsali before that he's finished drinking and he did not follow through on that, so his word doesn't really mean a lot right now, but I'm really hoping this is a turning point. Especially after the conversation he had with Claire. I can see why he'd be concerned, but this is a different environment, and you can only use that excu...

9-1-1 5X2: Desperate Times

I don't know if it's because I was predisposed to it, or if it's an actual thing, but this season already feels different. The tone is off. It's more plot based, than character centric. And it just doesn't have that 'vibe.' I'm sure I'm not explaining that properly, but I think you get me.

So, we're still dealing with the hacking situation. Everything is a hot mess. For some reason, Michael is playing host all the neighbors at Athena's house, since she's got a generator. So, people are ...

Ugh. Fucking Victoria is back. And she managed to convince Brook to come back to the company by preying on her heart. I hate this bitch.

Wildfire 1X7: Lost and Found

Okay, so, I watched this episode probably 5 days ago. And I'm trying to remember it to do a description now. It's not going well. Eek! I really need to do these when I watch them. Especially since Wildfire doesn't really have recaps on Wikipedia. 😳

So, we had two separate storylines this episode. The good one: Kris, Matt, Junior, and Dani chasing after escaped horses, and the not so good one: Jean and Charlie continuously getting interrupted while they try to have some alone time. View Post

It's Movie Season!

So, you guys might know that I'm not a big movie watcher. But I do love horror movies. Which means, my movie season is coming up!

I'm planning to do 4 drunk re-watches of fun horror movies that I've already seen. And I use horror loosely as I'm thinking, RHPS, Beetlejuice, Little Shop of Horrors, and Zombieland. Also, usually drunk re-watches are $15 tier and up, but last year I did $10 tier and up for Halloween, and I see no reason to change that for this year.

But I also want to...

We're got a busy weekend over here. Last night Dan, his sister and I went to the Brett Michaels tour. It was super fun. Brett Michaels, Dee Snider, and Lou Gramm played. And they played all the hits. And holy fuck, do Dee Snider (at 69), and Lou Gramm (at 74) sound amazing.

Eric sends Sookie a werewolf to go with her as she heads to Mississippi to look for Bill. They hit up a werewolf bar where Sookie flirts, and then uses her mind reading abilities to discover that one of these werewolves is one who kidnapped and tortured Bill. However, he attacks her and Eric's werewolf comes to her aid.

Anyway, hackers are taking over all the technology and causing all sorts of massive chaos. They are demanding 25 million dollars to put everything right again. During one of these attacks, Athena is testifying against serial ra...
