One Tree Hill 6X2:One Million Billionth of a Millisecond on a Sunday Morning

Brooke, honey, when are you keeping this to yourself? It took me way too long to realize why you chose Deb to be the one to tell, but I've been saying, since your mother showed up, that your friends really do have your back. Why are you confiding in them? Is there something else going on that I don't know? I totally get not telling Peyton immediately when she called with the good news of her and Lucas being engaged, but afterwords, not so much.

I also feel like an idiot for not realizin...

The 100 4X2: Heavy Lies the Crown

So we've got some people from a clan whose name I forgot (and could not pronounce even if I remembered it) challenging Roan for leadership. In order to take over, he needs to win in a battle. Ordinarily, this would not be a problem, but Roan is still healing from being shot. Echo begs him to let her battle in his place, but he turns her down, saying that if he doesn't fight for himself, the clans will all fail to follow his lead, even if she wins.

Kane and Octavia try to talk the clan's...

Fanfic on Vacation

So, you guys might know I'm big on fanfic. I read a crazy amount of it. Currently, I'm down an Alex/Henry rabbit hole from Red White and Royal Blue.

Are there any fics you guys can recommend that I read on vacation that don't spoil anything?

Here where I am/what I like (but feel free to suggest stuff outside of my preferred ships):

The 100: Through S3- Clarke/Lexa; Clarke/Bellamy; Clarke/Raven; Octavia/Lincoln

One Tree Hill: Through S5- Naley; Leyton

Arrow: Throu...

Schedule July 22-26

I am officially on vacation! Huzzah!

That said, I really busted my ass to get everything reacted to and posted over the last 2-3 weeks, so fingers crossed, everything goes up as planned while I'm away. But, I'm sure I messed something up. I'll apologize in advance. If you find something I screwed up, TELL ME. I'm bringing my laptop and my hard drive. I can't record anything I missed, but if I recorded something and forgot to upload it, or messed up the volume on something, or something ...

True Blood 2X9: I Will Rise Up

Eric is a fucking bullshit douchebag liar. Fuck that guy. But I'm happy Bill seems to be keeping in temper in check about it. He seems to think this would have happened at some point anyway, so no one is really worse for wear here. But, this does mean that Eric will be able to find Sookie wherever she is. How is Bill gonna keep her safe? And what does it mean if Sookie ends up sleeping with Eric because she's now sexually attracted to him? Does that count as cheating? Would Bill be justified ...

9-1-1 3X17: Powerless

I have no idea how they all managed to listen to Athena over the radio and not change it. Talk about powerless, my god. Bobby having to listen to his wife getting beaten and knowing there was nothing he could do but sit in the truck until they got there, must have been absolute murder. And then having to hear a gunshot. I give these people a crazy amount of credit. I'd have been a total basket case by the time I got there.

And this is the first time I feel like we've seen Bobby put his...

Outlander 4X9: The Birds and the Bees

So, 90% of this episode is just me smiling like a loon. Everyone seems so happy that Brianna is there.

Brianna went from, 'Oh, no, Roger really left,' to 'OMG. My parents are here in Wilmington!'

That said, Brianna is obviously upset about both Roger and the fact that Stephen raped her. Eventually, Claire guesses that the problem is that Brianna is pregnant. But Brianna doesn't know whose baby it is because she was with Roger and then later that same night, raped by captain assho...

Arrow 3X2: Sara

Okay, so Sara is really, really dead. You can never tell in shows where we just leave people 'left for dead,' and then next episode they show up in a hospital bed or something. But that is not what is happening here. The gang shows up at the Arrow Cave and find Laurel has brought a dead Sara here. Also, I feel a little shitty because me being emotionally about Sara was all because Felicity was emotional. I care more about her being sad, than about Sara being dead. 😳

Anyway, Laurel is...

One Tree Hill 6X1: Touch Me I'm Going to Scream, Part 1

Okay, good. It's Peyton at the airport. Excellent. This is what I wanted. And I'm happy to take it. I can't be the only one who's worried that Lindsey is pregnant though, right? Is she gonna show up right before the actual wedding and drop this bomb and cause the same kind of chaos Peyton did when she showed back up?

BUT, I was so not happy when we did that 'one year anniversary tease,' and they started with Brooke. I was like, anyone but Brooke, and it's Brooke! It felt so cheap. And t...

The 100 4X1: Echoes

We can't get one single second to savor this victory. Sigh. We're immediately on to the next problem. And it's a problem. Forget that we're all gonna die in six months, Skaikru might die today. The entirety of Polis hates them and wants them dead for bringing Allie to them.

Echo has decided she's in charge and tells everyone that Skaikru cannot leave the city. Thankfully, Roan manages to survive thanks to Abby and Clarke and since he's got the Flame, he's now in charge until a new Comm...

Shameless 6X5: Refugees

So, we are well and truly homeless right now. That said, a lot of the family has found places to go. Fiona and Liam are staying with Sean, Ian is at the dorm with Lip, Debbie has moved into the house where she's a nanny (and breaking Frank in every night), and Carl is staying at a hotel with all his gun money. And poor Chuckie. I forgot all about him. And it seems like everyone else did too. I have no idea where he's staying.

Debbie tries to come on to the dad she's working for, but he'...

The Vampire Diaries 1X4: Family Ties

You guys know I try really hard not to spoil things from other shows during reactions (because I've been burned by other reactors this way before), BUT (and this is barely even a spoiler, but I still want to draw attention to it), do you remember when I hated Brooke? I'm wondering if Damon is going to end up like that. Right now, I find him fairly gross and annoying, and like very little about him. But I think people like him? So maybe it's just a matter of time until I fall in line. Lol. But...

Friday Night Lights 3X11: A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall

We knew J.D.'s dad was leading us here, and I was still sort of surprised when it happened. I expected a ton of yelling and screaming (which we got), but I wasn't really expecting this. Thankfully, he was stupid enough to do it in the parking lot of the restaurant where practically the entire town was, so Eric and Tami were able to come out and break it up. Remember back when I wondered if J.D. even liked football at all? I'm starting to come back around to that question. Is it doing it becau...

Stranger Things 2X8: Chapter Eight: The Mind Flayer

Okay, so, we've figure out that Will is a spy for the cloud, spider monster, and if we keep him sedated, he won't be able to pass along any information. Good plan.

However, the demo dogs get free are roaming the building killing everyone they can find. Mike, Joyce, Hopper, Bob, and lab guy, barricade themselves in one of the rooms and then the power goes out. Apparently, fixing it is complicated and the only person who knows how is Bob.

He heads down to the basement to reset it. A...

Outlander 4X8: Wilmington

This episode was definitely better than the last. We still got Brianna and Roger stuff (but it was so much better Brianna and Roger stuff), and we also got Claire and Jamie stuff. Which wasn't the best Jamie and Claire stuff we've had, but I have no room for complaints after the last episode. Lol.

So, Roger and Brianna decide to get married. But they don't want to wait, so they decide to do a hand fasting ritual. They have sex afterwards and are super happy, but then Roger tells her tha...

9-1-1 3X16: The One That Got Away

You know, I thought I would have enjoyed this episode less than I did. Spending all this time with Buck and someone we don't know doesn't seem like it should interest me, but I found myself a bit charmed by this. Also, I felt myself really feeling for Buck. He's obviously lonely, and his friends all have someone important in their lives and he's afraid of getting left behind.

Ooh, is it possible we've got Hen thinking about going to med school? She seemed to impress the surgeon at the h...

Arrow 3X1: The Calm

Ugh. Why would they do this to me?!? Don't they know I've been waiting? And ignoring things so my heart doesn't get broken? And they broke it anyway?!? I think it's all bullshit, too. Oliver has dated plenty while he's also been the Arrow. But now, when he's on the date I want him to be on, he suddenly can't be both Oliver and the Arrow? No. I refuse to accept this. And it seems like Felicity does too. She's wants a clean break, so she doesn't have to live the rest of her life wondering if ma...

One Tree Hill 5X18: What Comes After the Blues

I cannot believe that Luke only got suspended for 10 games. He should have gotten fired, and ordered not to work with kids anymore. I mean, I don't want that, but you can't have adults who are in charge of your kids, assaulting them. No matter how shitty they feel if their ex-fiancé is dating someone else.

Oh, Brooke was so happy. She still had eight more days left with Angie, and then they just pulled the rug right out from under her. That sucks. I'm sure she knew getting so attached ...

The 100 3X16:Perverse Instantiation – Part Two

You could have given me a zillion guesses, and I would not have come up with this solution. Using Mount Weather tech to make Clarke a Night Blood so she could take the Flame, brilliant.

So, with Clarke having both the Flame and the chip, she's able to go into the City of Light, while still retaining her own mind. Lexa shows up (I think because technically Clarke is now the Commander and they have the thoughts/memories of all the previous ones?) and helps her through. Raven uses her hack...

Felicity 3X15: Senioritis

OMG. We're got to get Avery off this show! She's killing me. Now she's being manipulative over this (non) suicide attempt. I've so had enough of her. And I know Felicity and Ben have too. But this is typical Ben behavior. He has a terrible time saying 'no' to people in need. And while that is mostly damsels in distress, it's also his friends too. So it's hard to say this is just about Avery, this is definitely a Ben thing to do.

But, it's obvious now that Noel was really hoping they wou...

Shameless 6X4: Going Once, Going Twice

Okay, so, we've got 72 hours to either buy the house or get out. That seemed unlikely. On both accounts. But it turns out Fiona was able to get a $100,000 loan from the bank (huh?). Turns out it didn't even matter because the house ended up selling at auction for $30k more than they could afford. Where do we go from here?

Helene is devastated when she attends the conference and discovered that her entire book has been completely debunked in the last few weeks after working on it for yea...

The Vampire Diaries 1X3: Friday Night Bites

I need more vampire lore! How many times can Damon bite the same girl before she dies? I think it only takes blood around 24 hours to replenish, so she'll probably be okay at this rate, but no one is gonna believe animal attacks forever, right? Especially since these two just showed back up.

So, the dinner with Elena, Stefan, and Bonnie goes well. Bonnie seems much more all in on them than she did before. She goes ahead and gives Elena her blessing, but something still seems to be bothe...

Friday Night Lights 3X10: The Giving Tree

Proud of Landry for this. He's 100% right. Tyra knows exactly how he feels about her. I don't know if she's purposely taking advantage, but regardless, she IS taking advantage. I'm so glad Landry finally stood up for himself. Also, as much as I like and want them together (mostly because that's what Landry wants and I want to make him happy), it pissed me off that Tyra finds him attractive when he's on stage, because other people find him attractive. Ugh. Tyra, girl, you've been making a lot ...

9-1-1 3X15: Eddie Begins

Oh, this was so, so, so, much better than the previous episode!

I think I mentioned last episode that Eddie and Maddie fit in so well. I love Eddie. I love this character. I love his life. I love his friendship with Buck (and poor Buck this episode, he was losing his mind). I love this family he's created for himself here, even if his family doesn't understand it.

His parents were all like, who's gonna watch Christopher when you're pulling 24 hour shifts? And the answer is, whoeve...

Outlander 4X7: Down the Rabbit Hole

Um, I take it back. I know I said I wanted Brianna, but not like this! I didn't want all Briana all the time. And I really wanted none of Roger. This was a hard episode for me to get through. I think it will end up paying off later on, but right now, I did not watch to watch zero Claire and Jamie. Especially since they haven't had a lot of time together lately.

Anyway, of all the people to find Brianna and take her in, it has to be Laoghaire? Really?!? And she's mostly nice enough to he...

Arrow 2X23: Unthinkable

Roy's got a mask! I don't know why that seemed so incredibly significant, but it did.

Sara, Nyssa, and a bunch of members of the league show up to help. However, Nyssa and Oliver argue over whether they can be killing people or not. Nyssa goes ahead and kills Isabel, but Oliver doesn't kill Slade and he escapes.

With Roy cured, he immediately calls Thea and she agrees to go meet him. (Oh, by the way, Malcolm is just fine- body armor, but tells Thea she's smart, strong, and exactly...

One Tree Hill 5X17: Hate is Safer Than Love

Dude. Luke. I get you're in pain, honey, but assaulting children is not the way to let our your anger. You'll be lucky if you don't end up in jail. He should be fired, but I assume he won't be. He might get suspended or something though.

It's gonna break Brooke's heart if something happens to this baby during surgery. After watching her with Angie, I really think she would be a good mom.

How adorable was the Nathan and Jamie training scene? Come on.

Of course Dan is gonna ge...

The 100 3X15: Perverse Instantiation – Part One

NO! Not Jasper! How did this happen? I mean, I knew Allie was at Arkadia, but I never suspected it was because Jasper was chipped. Ahhhhh!

Dude, how fucked up is this situation. Allie's just like, torturing your daughter isn't working, better kill yourself instead, Abby. She's just not giving in! And then Clarke has to watch her mother hang herself, knowing one word from her would save her. But she can't because then she dooms everyone else!

However, they've discovered the plan to...

Schedule July 15-19

Hello! There is a lot going on this week!

We start S3 of Arrow, S4 of The 100, and S6 of One Tree Hill.

Also, just a head's up (and I'll remind you next week as well), 9-1-1 is taking a week or so off between S3 and S4. S3 ends on July 22, and S4 won't start until the following Monday, July 29.

I'm amazed at how good some of the stuff I'm watching right now is.

Also, we are coming up on the end of S3 of Felicity and I was thinking about how there is only one season le...

True Blood 2X8: Timebomb

Ooh, are Godric and Bill gonna team up? Maybe if Eric sees that Godric is trying to fit in better with the humans, he'll follow suit.

Anyway, thanks to Godric, we all manage to make it out of the church without a bloodbath. The vampires, plus Sookie and Jason all meet back at Godric's (?) nest and celebrate. Godric is running around telling everyone that he's Team Bill essentially and that they do not need to engage in violence with the humans and there are other ways. Jason apologizes...
