Friday Night Lights 4X8: Toilet Bowl

We finally won a game!

I don't know what is going on with Jess. I cannot figure out if she likes Vince or Landry or both. But she's rescheduling with Landry to eat dinner with Vince and his mom, so maybe Vince? But after the game, she left with Landry, so maybe him?

We could have skipped all that Julie in Boston stuff and I would have felt exactly the same about this episode. 🤷‍♀️

Tim tried to get a job so he could buy that land, but they didn't hire him. So, he go...

Shameless 7X3: Homeless Sweet Homeless Shelter

Eh, this episode was mostly fine. No giant complaints, but nothing super awesome either.

Frank is pissing me off. (Not that that's new). The police know he's probably lying, but it's just easier- and looks better- not to arrest a bunch of homeless people and their kids. Plus, he's got all new children and a wife? Named exactly the same? No thank you. That's creepy as fuck.

Svetlana's dad shows up and she decides he's gonna stay with them and tend bar. Kevin and V are not thrilled....

Stranger Things 3X4: Chapter Four: The Sauna Test

I really like this episode. I think part of it, is that everyone (minus Dustin) is back together and we aren't working separately anymore. (Also, why is Dustin so apart from everyone right now. I mean, I like his story, but I'm wondering if something else is going on).

So, the kids devise a plan to test if Billy is being controlled by the Mind Flayer. They stick him in a sauna hoping to exorcise him, the way Joyce did for Will. Well, it doesn't work. He's definitely being controlled, bu...

Arrow 3X16: The Offer

Okay, so Ra's is all like, this water has kept me alive forever, but it's not working anymore. I need a replacement. And then after the fight with Nyssa, sticks his hand in the water and he's healed immediately. Huh?

Anyway, Ra's is letting Oliver, Dig and Malcom go as a sign of good faith (as well as releasing all the blood debts) while Oliver 'decides' if he wants to take Ra's up on his offer. Malcolm, Nyssa, and Mateo all tell Oliver it's not a choice. Ra's has already decided it fo...

Outlander 5X10: Mercy Shall Follow Me

Okay, so I was thinking we might get our Bonnet show down at the end of this season, but we got it now.

You just knew something was going to go wrong because Claire and Brianna were just having too much fun enjoying each other's company. And of course, something does go wrong. The boys are over planning to meet up with Bonnet. However, he doesn't show. Why? Because he's on the damn beach with Claire and Brianna!

After a struggling (and Brianna actually shooting at him, but the gun...

9-1-1 4X11: First Responders

This was such a fun surprise. A pseudo Josh Begins! Of course, with it, we had to get Sue practically dying though. That was less fun.

So, Sue gets hit by a driver, who, literally, didn't stop or slow down. Just hit her and zoomed off. But, it was a little weird because she was running toward the car when it hit her. But the 118 gets there and she's got a host of injuries. She keeps telling them 9-1-1 and they keep assuring her they are already there.

Turns out, she was giving the...

One Tree Hill 6X15: We Change, We Wait

I HATE this guy directing the movie. Do they want it to be complete trash? I don't.

Also, I'm having very complicated feelings about Dan right now. I stubbornly do not want to forgive him. And I haven't, but I'm afraid he might be wearing me down.

Mia and Chase are nice, but honestly, kind of boring. But, she finally managed to write a s...

Wildfire 1X2: The Rescue

Why am I so emotional about this show? Again, I tell you, it's an ABC Family show, it should not be this good.

While I think there may have been too many shots of Kris escaping with Wildfire, this episode was so good! I loved pretty much everything about it (except for maybe the rich boy from the other farm trying to get Kris to go to the hot tub party).

I love that the mom has totally done a 180 on Kris. She went from 'she's trouble and can't be kissing my son' to 'I used to be h...

Felicity 4X3: Your Money or Your Wife

I actually quite liked this episode. I love that we got into some class struggles between Megan's parents and Sean's. It's so easy to forget that Megan comes from money because she doesn't really act like it.

Sean being so in debt that he's getting evicted, and Noel ending up with an extra 50K that he didn't really want, ended up working out nicely.

But Sean wasn't the only one with financial problems this episode. Felicity finds out she applied too late for financial aid and onl...

Friday Night Lights 4X7: In the Bag

Okay, so, how did the staff go from hating Tami two episodes ago, to telling her she's the best thing that's ever happened to the school in this one? I'm glad that Glenn only only attempted the tiniest kiss towards Tami. And he immediately felt badly about it. It doesn't excuse his behavior, but it seems like an honest mistake. And then they talk about it afterwards. Hopefully, we don't have to go down this path because I do not want want a storyline about Tami and/or Eric having an affair. A...

Shameless 7X2: Swipe, Fuck, Leave

So, Fiona tries to quit and go back to being a waitress, but she's told if that happens, they are just going to close the restaurant. She can keep being manager, which keeps them open, but only if she manages for them to stay afloat. Her first order of business, get new uniforms, get better help, and fire problem people. So far, seems good.

Frank is hell bent on staying in the house. After swiping a stolen credit card from Debbie, he hires some guys to block off the top of the house, so...

The Vampire Diaries 1X13: Children of the Damned

Oh, I really liked this episode. I felt like I needed all these flashbacks. It gave the characters a much richer backstory. 10/10. My favorite episode so far.

Also, watching Katherine be Katherine, actually kind of answers some of my ranting about why all these people are so jazzed to get to her back. She had this ability to make you feel like the most important person when you were with her, even while talking about how she also sleeps with your brother. Lol. There really is something ...

Arrow 3X15: Nanda Parbat

Ugh, my screen recording app crashed in the middle of this episode. I think we end up losing 2-3 seconds. Sigh. Sorry about that.

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

Dude. It feels like so much happened this episode.

Thea ends up confessing almost immediately to Laurel, even though Oliver told her not to. To her credit, Laurel knows this is all Malcolm's doing and not Thea's. However, she still can't...

Outlander 5X9: Monsters and Heroes

This was a really good episode, but it was so hard to watch. Ugh. Jamie being weak and helpless was torture.

On the plus side, Brianna got to be an engineer again (I had no idea she even was an engineer, but she and Claire seem happy about it, so I'm in). I had no idea that the reason we were pissed about that dude smashing the needle with the penicillin was because we were worried about the syringe! I assumed it was about the penicillin, but I couldn't figure out how to make that make...

9-1-1 4X10: Parenthood

This was a good episode. But it came after the last episode, so it suffered a little in that capacity. However, had it not come after the last one, I'd have said it was a better episode, I think.

Maddie and Chim is totally need help! They are basically working round the clock and they never have time to see each other. This is a big reason why I'm firmly childfree. This looks like such a miserable existence (and I hate to ask for help), but honestly, Chim and Maddie still seem pretty ha...

One Tree Hill 6X14: A Hand to Take Hold of the Scene

This was not my favorite episode. Is it possible that I actually miss Dan? I mean, I wanna say no, but in all honesty, when he's in episodes

This was not my favorite episode. Is it possible that I actually miss Dan? I mean, I wanna say no, but in all honesty, when he's in episodes, they are often just better. It's been a while since we've seen him.

I kind of love that Brooke's response to Peyton's pregnancy wasn't jealousy. It was concern that the dress she made for her wedding wo...

Wildfire 1X1: Pilot

So, this was pretty great. It was an ABC Family show, which I feel means it shouldn't have been as good as it was. I enjoyed the hell out of this.

Are we setting this up for Kris to start training Wildfire at the farm? And then he'll win some race and she'll save the farm from being sold to corporate America? (Don't tell me).

Um, we're totally in on curly boy, not car driving boy. But I can already see the love triangles forming. Also, those girls need to start being nice to Kris....

Things are Running a Little Late Today

Hello. Happy Monday!

So, Dan and I went to a show last night, and then decided we didn't wanna drive home, so we got a room for the night. And we just got home now. 😳

That said, the show was lovely and we had a blast. But, that also means things will be up later than usual today. Everything that's supposed to go up today will, but later in the day. With the exception of Wildfire. That will go up around noon EST.

I hope you all had a delightful weekend!

Drunk Re-Watch

This is for $15/tier and up.

So, it's been a bit since we've done one. I went hard on them for a bit, then took a break. I think it's time for them to come back.

I'm planning for this to go up Saturday, August 24.

I'll be listing shows. If you want a specific episode, let me know! If I don't get comments, I'll have no problem choosing myself. Lol.

Edit: Patreon is still not letting me do multiple votes, so feel free to add your second (or third) choices in the comments...

Schedule August 19-23

Hello, hello. Happy weekend!

So, we've finished our sponsored seasons of The 100. Seasons 3 and 4 were amazing, but I've been informed, but not only our sponsor, but several other of you guys, that it really goes downhill going forward. That said, our sponsor, Melissa, and I, have decided to switch to Wildfire. This is a show I've been wanting to watch for awhile. I've already watched the pilot and it so did not disappoint.

We'll be finished with S5 of Outlander soon. I didn't rea...

True Blood 3X1: Bad Blood

Wait. So Bill was kidnapped by werewolves? Am I understanding this correctly? Does this mean Eric was actually not involved?

Tara is not doing well. And she's pissed that Sookie told Eggs about what he'd done. She's blaming Sookie for his death. Her mom brings over the pastor and he talks to her for a while. As he's leaving, Tara pretends to feel better and goes up to take a shower. But instead, downs a bunch of pills. Lafayette shows up and tries to break down the door the save her. 2024-08-16 22:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Outlander 5X8: Famous Last Words

Why is Roger getting so much screen time? Does the show know that he's neither Jamie or Claire? Why is he still alive? We had the perfect opportunity to be rid of him. Sigh.

Anyway, we're dealing with a psychologically traumatized Roger. He's not speaking. He's not engaging. Both Brianna and Claire are trying to help him work through it, but he's not really receptive.

Ian shows back up. Yay! But he's super quiet and not much like the Ian we used to know. It's obvious something is...

Arrow 3X14: The Return

Oliver and Thea are training on the island, when Oliver decides to check the ARGUS prison while on a walk to clear his head. You know, since Thea keeps asking what happened to Sara.

When he gets there he finds the guard dead in Slade's bed and Slade missing. He runs to try to protect Thea, but Slade captures them and sticks them in his cell. Of course this was all orchestrated by Malcolm.

After some commiserating, Oliver realizes the cells were meant to hold grown ass men, and not...

9-1-1 4X9: Blindsided

OMG. For as lukewarm as I felt about the last episode, that's how much I LOVED this episode.

I'm not so sure why I was so resistant the wrong way mom driver being impaired. I kept trying to come up with other reasons. And maybe Athena was jumping to conclusions. But, unfortunately, I was wrong. This woman had a BAC of 4X the legal limit with her son in the car. And her poor husband was distraught over it.

It's been a while since we talked about, or even mentioned, Bobby being in ...

One Tree Hill 6X13: Things a Momma Don't Know

I did not expect to get so emotional this episode. But, as I've been saying, I LOVE the Brooke/Sam storyline right now, and watching Brooke

I did not expect to get so emotional this episode. But, as I've been saying, I LOVE the Brooke/Sam storyline right now, and watching Brooke claw tooth and nail to try to save Sam kind of broke me. And at the end of that scene when they were trying to not get Brooke to shoot X, and was all all, 'No, I need you, mom,' it was beautiful. And this also m...

The 100 4X13: Praimfaya

Okay, so we really get nothing from the bunker this episode. I guess we wrapped all that up last episode. Which is fine, because what we did get was awesome.

So we've got about 90 minutes to do stuff that should take about 2 months if we want to launch with enough time to beat the death wave. After a zillion complications, we've got it figured out, but it's going to be, literally, down the second.

In order to power the Ark, we've got to do it remotely, so Clarke heads off to it it...

Friday Night Lights 4X6: Stay

Oh, I'm afraid this might be the last we see of Matt for awhile, which is sad. I like his character.

But he and Julie go to a music festival in Austin that both Tami and Eric have told her she can't go to. However, she really wants to do something nice for Matt and take his mind off his dad's death. Plus, she knows he stayed in Dillion for her and she's feeling guilty about it and wants to get him out of town for awhile.

Things go okay until he realizes that her parents don't know...

Shameless 7X1: Hiraeth

And again I say, fuck Frank. Granted at first he didn't remember what happened, but as soon as he did, he was still like, why did no one come to see me? There isn't a single god damn thing that Frank touches that he doesn't try to ruin. And glad no one seems to be feeling sorry for him. And it's gonna get even worse once they realized he literally nailed himself inside Fiona's room.

So Lip's out of rehab and back to drinking immediately. And he's doing it very similarly to Frank when h...

The Vampire Diaries 1X12: Unpleasantville

We really need to start telling people about vampires. It's way too easy to let one inside without realizing it. But also, who invites the pizza delivery guy in? And it seems that there are not (at least yet) anti-invitation spells in this universe. We really need to get on that too. Bonnie!

Speaking of pizza delivery vampire, he's the one Elena hit with her car, and now he's toying with her. Why? Because she looks like Katherine. Why are all these vampires in love with Katherine? Does ...

Stranger Things 3X3: Chapter Three: The Case of the Missing Lifeguard

So, am I the only one who is worried that maybe Max is using El for her abilities? I can't tell. Hopefully, I'm worried for no reason. They just got off to such a weird start, it seems odd that Max immediately glommed onto her.

Anyway, they've been spying on the boys with El's vision and see Billy doing something weird and then sort of realizes she's there and disappears. The girls then go on a hunt to figure out what's going on. They find Billy and the home of Heather (the lifeguard he...
