Wildfire 1X6: The Claiming Race

This episode had way too much relationship drama in it. I get it's a drama, but I'm here more for the coziness, the comfort and the Kris and her horse stuff. Lol.

That said, Pablo tells Jean that if the ranch loses Wildfire, he's gone too. Also, Matt tells Kris that someone called Cabelo Ranch (I think that was the name) put in a claim on Wildfire. As much as they internet search, they can't find anything about it. Kris is desperate for Wildfire to go to a good home, so she basically ag...

Friday Night Lights 4X10: I Can't

I really didn't like this episode. There was too much focus on stuff I don't care about, namely: Becky. Sure, I feel sort of bad that she's dealing with this, but she's easily my least favorite character and I don't want to watch an episode mostly about her. Plus, I just don't care about Julie's storyline without Matt. AND there was zero Landry in this episode. Sigh.

So, Tim brings Becky to Tami to talk through what's going on. She convinces Becky to talk her her mom. Which she does. In...

Shameless 7X5: Own Your Shit

Okay, so I know I was complaining last episode about Debbie and I think Fiona had every right to treat her the way she did. And I stand by that. However, I don't think she has to right to continue treating everyone else like shit. I get that she feels like she's done enough and that she thinks it's time for someone else to take up the mantel, but I think she still needs to be contributing somehow. Everything is, you deal with it. To be fair, minus Debbie, no one is really complaining, but I s...

The Vampire Diaries 1X16: There Goes the Neighborhood

Okay, so all it took was Matt's mom being a bitch to Caroline to decide that I like Caroline. Lol.

Also, I just found out this episode that the reason that Harper (I hope he lives for awhile since I learned his name) got out of the tomb was because the spell didn't work. Have I been living under a rock? Why did I not realize this? Is it because Grams was exhausted and Bonnie wasn't strong enough?

Anyway, Elena and Stefan decide to double date with Matt and Caroline. You know is a ...

Stranger Things 3X5: Chapter Five: The Flayed

Okay, so Hopper and Joyce find a Russian scientist (?) in the basement of a house. But then, the motorcycle guy who attacked him (who we'll call Terminator) previously shows up. Hopper and Joyce manage to take the scientist as a hostage, as they trap the Terminator in the basement by putting heavy things on the door.

They then stumble through the woods trying to find someone who can speak Russian, and they happen upon a 7-1-1 where Hopper commandeers a guy's car. They take Russian guy t...

Outlander 6X1: Echoes

Okay, so I really thought this season was gonna go in a different way based on the first 15 or 20 minutes. And I'm so glad it didn't. I was concerned we were gonna end up with Jamie and Claire in different time periods again. But it was just to establish the relationship between Jamie and Christie.

That said, Jamie so does not want him here, but is trying to be hospitable. However, Christie is trying to take over and change things to his liking. At the end of the episode, Jamie tries to...

Arrow 3X19: Broken Arrow

My brain sort of short circuits at the end of this episode. I don't really know how to process what just happened.

So basically, Roy is arrested in Oliver's place. No one, except Roy, is happy about this. Oliver is desperate to break him out of jail. (But Dig and Felicity won't let him). And Quintin knows Oliver is actually the Arrow and is obsessed with finding some evidence to prove that.

However, this was all a ruse set up without Oliver's consent. They arrange to have a member...

9-1-1 4X14: Survivors

Okay, I've decided that the family is now Eddie, Buck, and Christopher. Carla is allowed to come and go as she pleases. But this is cannon now.

So, in all honesty, I didn't really follow the who of 'who did this.' I get it was a former SWAT team member, but that's all I got. I kind of feel like that's all I need to know though.

That said, Buck crawling under the truck, to drag Eddie's bleeding and lifeless body under the truck, so he could get him to the back and into the truck wa...

One Tree Hill 6X18: Searching for a Former Clarity

I'm sorry. A DOG ATE HIS HEART!?!? I said that sort of in jest. And then, it happened? This might be the craziest thing to ever happen in Tree Hill. (And yes, I have to use it for the thumbnail. I'm sorry).

And as much as I have super conflicted feelings about Dan, (Okay that's not really true, I still hate him, but I can see that he's definitely more sincere about things in a way that he never was before) that scene of him in ocean where he's screaming at god, was some of his best work...

Wildfire 1X5: Guilty

Am I the only one who didn't realize that Matt's gambling was an addiction and not a hobby? I guess because he was winning, it didn't really seem like a big deal.

I hate that they made me sort of feel bad for Dani in this episode. Not bad enough, since after Kris saved her from being assaulted by asshole bookie, she went out of her way to tell Kris that doesn't make them friends (liker Kris would ever want to be friends with you). She was so much easier when she was all 'bad' character...

Felicity 4X4: Miss Conception

This was not my favorite episode. Partially because it was all about Felicity and her beauty pageant stuff. And Partially because they made me care so much about this pregnancy only for them to decide, nah, never mind.

So, Felicity finds out she's pregnant from a home test. She decides to go get a blood test to make sure. However, she can't get the results for a few days because she's busy with the pageant.

She tells both Elena (because she's there when Felicity takes the test) an...

Friday Night Lights 4X9: The Lights in Carroll Park

I'm gonna be so pissed if the story going forward is that Becky decides to have this baby and Tim decides to raise it as his own. I can totally see them doing that, and so don't want it to happen.

Anyway, most of this episode is about getting some help to Carroll Park after Eric goes there looking for Tinker, and a 12 year old gets shot while he's there. Eric, realizing a lot of his players live in the area, tries to make the park safer for them to hang out in. Eventually, they organize...

Shameless 7X4: I Am a Storm

I can't be the only one who wants to hit Debbie in the face with a stick, right? Fiona could not have been more clear about what she would be willing to do to help Debbie when she had this baby. Nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada. And Debbie continuously acts like it's someone else's responsibility to take care of her. But I have Harry, what am I supposed to do with her? Figure it out. This is why most people don't have babies at 15.

How Fiona is running this illegal business by bringing cops i...

The Vampire Diaries 1X15: A Few Good Men

This was, yet again, another good episode.

So, we've got definite confirmation that Alaric's wife was in fact, Elena's mother. However, we also found out that she's not actually dead, and that Damon actually turned her. Why? Because she begged him to. She was bored in life and bored in her marriage. And Damon totally used that info to taunt the hell out of Alaric. And he loved it. However, once Elena told him that that was her mom, he deflated like a balloon. He really does like Elena, ...

Arrow 3X18: Public Enemy

Okay, so, after Maseo (dressed as Arrow) shoots the mayor and Ray (who took the arrow for Felicity), Quintin decides that the Arrow is Public Enemy number one, and has instructed the police to shoot on sight. Not just Arrow, but Arsenal, and Canary as well. With Dig's help, they just barely manage to escape back to the Arrow cave.

Meanwhile, Ra's captures Quintin and tells him that Oliver is the Arrow. At this point, all hell breaks loose. Everyone ends up at Dig's since nowhere else is...

Outlander 5X12: Never My Love

Oh, god, this was a hard episode to watch. If we didn't get those bits of Claire sort of daydreaming when she was out of it, I'm not sure I would have made it.

So because Claire is not the kind of woman that likes, he decides that the best course of action is to distract her husband so he can kidnap her? And then arrange for all of the men with him to rape her repeatedly? What is this insanity? It's hard to remember how absolutely abysmal it was for women during that time. Especially s...

9-1-1 4X13: Suspicion

Ugh. I hate the Athena and Bobby are fighting. To be fair, this is probably a fight that should have happened sooner. Bobby really should have said something sooner. Especially if he thought things would change later on after she got to trust him more. That's a bad way to start a marriage. Assuming your partner will a different way in the future. But also, Athena is right. She's always been like this. Nothing has changed. It's just now she's on the other side of the coin and she's uncomfortab...

One Tree Hill 6X17: You and Me and the Bottle Makes Three Tonight

I really quite liked this episode. We had our different little vignettes. It was a nice change of pace. So, I do not know exactly what is go

I really quite liked this episode. We had our different little vignettes. It was a nice change of pace.

So, I do not know exactly what is going on with Petyon and Luke's baby. But it doesn't seem good, whatever it is. Plus, if I'm Luke, and I agree to let Peyton have this baby and it doesn't work out (although, I cannot see Peyton dying), how...

Wildfire 1X4: Mothers

HOLY FUCK. I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE GOAT. I'M SPEECHLESS.

So, we had Kris' mom coming to visit. And she wasn't great. But I LOVED that Jean knew immediately that she wasn't good people (and so did I), but was willing to let the decision rest with Kris.

I'm so pissed at Kris' mom. As the child of an addict, I know what it's like to try to live this life. The zillions of broken promises. The feelings of shame. Having to learn to grow up way to fast. But also, as the child of an addict,...

Wednesday Disruption

So, I really need to make some changes in my life. I'm terribly unhealthy. I don't get any exercise and I need to lose about 100 pounds. (Note, I said this sort of jokingly to my doctor expecting him to say, 'You don't need to lose that much.' He did not say that. Eek!)

All this so say that we've decided to get a meal delivery service. I don't know how to cook. And I HATE to cook. (Which leads to me making things like a meal of cheeseburgers, stuffing and french fries 😳). Plus, groce...

Update: Schedule August 26-30

I had the wrong episode for Stranger Things.

Seriously. I make more mistakes on schedules than anything else. 🙄

Schedule August 26-30

Hello, hello. Happy Sunday.

This week week finish seasons of both Outlander and 9-1-1. We start S6 of Outlander this week, and honestly, I'm actually not 100% sure if we're doing S5 of 9-1-1. However, I did put it up on the schedule. I will let you know if anything changes.

That's pretty much it. Looking forward to a great week!

Drunk Re-Watch: One Tree Hill 1X3: Are You True?

So just a reminder, drunk re-watches are LOUD.

And for whatever reason, I look totally stoned. And my hair is trash. So, more of the same for a drunk re-watch, right?

Arrow 3X17: Suicidal Tendencies

So, real truth. I'm doing this description after I've done a drunk rewatch. The actual content was done sober, but me trying to do this, not so much.

Drunk Dana thinks that she doesn't wanna be cool with Ray, but maybe she should be if Felicity is cool with it.

In my state, I was also concerned with what's going to happen with Arrow and ATOM. I cannot decide if I want them to be on the same side or as enemies. Ugh.

Also, why did they have to make me care about Lawson if they...

True Blood 3X2: Beautifully Broken

I absolutely hated this episode. I don't know what that says about the rest of this season, but fingered crossed it's not all like this.

No interest in Sam's storyline right now. Him getting to know his birth family is of zero interest to me.

Nazi werewolves? Also not excited about.

Bill being accosted by some vampire king and not wanting to be a sheriff? Fine. Let him leave and let's move on.

The Tara and Lafayette stuff was okay.

Honestly, I think after the fa...

Outlander 5X11: Journeycake

Okay, so, while the end of this episode was exciting, a lot of this was just Brianna and Roger deciding to leave. It also kind of felt just like a filler episode to get to the finale, whatever that's going to be. (I assumed the last episode would be what happened in the finale, but it didn't so now 🤷‍♀️).

Since they figured out that Jemmy can go through the stones, they plan their departure. Saying goodbye to everyone, and whatever. I feel sort of sad, but this took up way too...

9-1-1 4X12: Treasure Hunt

This was so not my favorite episode. This felt like 100% plot and zero percent character driven. (Well, that's not entirely true- we did have a touch of character stuff between Athena and Bobby).

Generally, when we have an episode that isn't my favorite, it comes after an incredible episode, and I tend to blame it on that. However, this episode also came after a great episode, but I don't think I can blame it on that. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't love this episode no matter where it ...

One Tree Hill 6X16: Screenwriter's Blues

I was super surprised we got this episode now. I kind of assumed that most of S7 would be dedicated to casting, filming, and producing the movie. I am shocked that we cast the entire thing in this episode.

Poor Brooke. I would have lost my shit if I had to deal with this actress. Also, I kind of hate myself for letting Julian off the hook abo...

Wildfire 1X3: Trust

We did get to skip the 90 days that Kris ended up back in juvie. I was hopefully that that would be the case. I wasn't looking forward to two parallel storylines.

Everyone is super excited for her return. They all show up at her trailer when she gets back. With a banner and present. But they caution her that Wildfire has not been doing well in her absence.

He doesn't understand that Kris did abandon him and is hesitant and reluctant to trust her again. But she stubbornly just par...

The Vampire Diaries 1X14: Fool Me Once

Okay. You guys win. This was the episode where Damon changed for me. I really didn't think I was going to come around on him, but here we are. It took all of 14 episodes to break me. Lol Not only that, but I'm dying to see more of a friendship between him and Elena.

Is Grams really dead? (Don't tell me). It seems like it, but so often it seems like that on TV when they leave us on a cliffhanger and then when we come back next episode, they've managed to pull through. But I kind of think...
