Better Call Saul 6X12: Waterworks

So we've again got some time jumping, but I think it was easier to figure out exactly what was going on in this episode.

Kim is alive. I had no idea if we were going to see her again. But it's been six years and she's ready to divorce Jimmy (Saul, Gene, Viktor). Saul, for his part is acting like it's no big deal, but he went about the act too hard and he's obviously upset.

What we do get, is a look into Kim's life and it's depressing and bleak (not to mention she refuses to make a...

Stranger Things 2X5: Chapter Five: Dig Dug

I really need to stop doing once a week shows. I remember nothing! It's awful. Do we know this guys that Nancy and Jonathan went to see? He sort of seems familiar but I don't know why.

Hopper seemed like a lost cause when he got trapped in the underground but (and yes I predicted this, go Dana) Will was able to see him with his spy powers and know he needed help. This leads to Joyce and Bob coming in to save him. Huzzah!

Lucas tells Max the truth, but (unsurprisingly) she doesn't ...

Arrow 2X15: The Promise

So Slade is funding Moira's campaign. Fun.

I thought I was gonna hate this episode, but then it turned out, I quite liked it! It started out kind of boring, but as we progressed it got better and better. I'm super happy with it.

Lots of this episode was in flashback, which I was not thrilled with, but as we moved on, I became more and more excited,

However, I HATE, HATE, HATE the trope of 'I want you dead, but I'm not going to kill you because I want you to suffer.' Ugh. An...

Outlander 3X12: The Bakra

I'm such a dumb-head. It took me, like, the entire episode to realize that Geillis was the person who was actually holding Young Ian hostage. God, I suck.

We all love the fact that Claire couldn't bear to have that slave sold off into slavery, right? Ian or not, she needs to do the right thing. Plus, Jamie asking how long it was until the slave trade was over was both lovely and heartbreaking. I want these two to be my friends.

And John Grey is back! It was nice to see him. Howeve...

9-1-1 3X7: Athena Begins

Come, on. Why does this show hate me? Enjoy my ugly tears, yet again.

What else can I say other than Athena is as awesome as we thought she was.

That said, this was probably my least favorite of 'the begins' episode. But that's only because everyone else ran into people we knew, and Athena was alone. Cop vs. Firefighter. And we sort of see in this episode why a lot of people (100% me included) are much more pro firefighter than pro cop.

It seems totally in character for At...

One Tree Hill 5X9: For Tonight You're Only Here to Know

Don't hate me. I think this might be my least favorite episode. Which surprised me, because I'm generally a pretty big fan of bottle episodes.

However, I hated Peyton in this episode. And, as someone who is just flat out rooting for Peyton, it sucks to see her act like this. I get that she is hurting, but none of this shit is Lindsay's fault (and I don't really like Lindsay). She's just a girl who fell in love with a guy; despite the fact that she edited a book about how much he'd alway...

Vimeo is Killing Me: Things Are Running Behind

Vimeo has been such a thorn in my side lately. I pay way too much for this service, for it to suck as much as it does. (God, I regret paying them for the whole year in advance).

I'm running very behind in general (between Pride stuff that I'm adding to the mix, and trying to get ahead while we're away- I'm not doing a great job) and Vimeo is so not helping me out.

Everything for today is recorded and put together, I'm just trying to upload it. One Tree Hill crashed 4 times already...

The 100 3X7: Thirteen

And again, we're thumbnail-less. Unless Vimeo fixes it, it's gonna be this way for the rest of the week. Over the weekend, I'll figure out how to set it up in Canva and then we can go back to me yelling at people in the thumbnail. Lol.

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

OMG. This episode was intense. And crazy. And awesome.

I loved the Ark flashback stuff to the 13 station. Super interesting ...

Felicity 3X12: Girlfight

And again, I've got no thumbnail. Vimeo is killing me this week. If they don't have it figured out by next week, I'll do it in Canva going forward. But I pay a crazy amount of money (at least in my eyes) to Vimeo, so they should work!), and it's twice as much work in Canva (at least for a girl who's totally not tech savvy).

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

Ugh. I hate that we're losing Molly. I r...

Shameless 5X10: South Side Rules

My screen recording app crashed towards the end of this episode (and then my sound cut out). I edited it together. I don't think it's more than mildly annoying for a few seconds. Sorry about that.

Also, there is no thumbnail. Vimeo is killing me the last week or so. Sigh.

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

As much as I really wanted another episode of Carl and Chuckie (which we did not get), ...

How Much Do You Care About Thumbnails?

So, Vimeo is being such a pain in the ass right now. It's been so difficult to upload the last week or so (everything crashes and takes multiple attempts), and now it's refusing to let me make thumbnails. (Actually, it was last week as well, but if I could just catch it at a non temperamental time, it seemed to work).

In times like this, when it's sort of beyond my control, are you guys okay with basically getting no thumbnail as long as the video goes up?

Honestly, picking thumb...

Better Call Saul 6X11: Breaking Bad

This episode was kind of weird again. Especially going back and forth between 'Gene' after Breaking Bad, and 'Saul' as he was just introduced to Walt and Jesse. I had to constantly try to figure out when in time, something happened. Thank goodness for the color vs black and white.

We find out that all of Saul's assets have been seized, and basically all the money he's got left is whatever he took with him when he became Gene. This spurs him to get back into the con game and he ends up d...

Friday Night Lights 3X4: Hello, Goodbye

As much as I love Landry and like him and Tyra together, Landry is definitely too much in this episode. Just because you're pretending that you haven't been broken up for months, doesn't mean you can get upset when your ex starts seeing someone else.

I really loved all the Eric and Tami scenes in this episode. Especially him telling her that just because she's going to lose this fight about the Jumbotron it doesn't mean she's wrong.

Do we really need Matt's mom? Maybe I'll enjoy t...

Outlander 3X11: Uncharted

Ugh. I feel like we wasted so much time this episode! Why are we doing all this?!? All I want is for Claire and Jamie to be back together. Stop giving me all this bullshit!

But, then we got what we wanted. And it was beautiful. And lovely. And amazing. I really don't need much. Just for the two of them to be in the same space at the same time.

 I'm so appreciative of the broken mast. This could have been such a longer separation if that hadn't have happened.

To be hones...

9-1-1 3X6: Monsters

While I did like this episode, I had some problems with it. I feel like both Buck and Maddie got off to easily for what they did. It should have been at least another episode before Buck was completely let off the hook. And Maddie should absolutely been suspended, if not fired out right. I don't really want either of these things for the two of them, but realistically, I think they would be warranted.

I did not think the end of this episode was going to go this way. I really thought whe...

Arrow 2X14: Time of Death

Excuse me. No one gets to make Felicity feel bad. Whether they mean it or not.

And I HATE Felicity feeling bad about herself. She's a goddess. No one can convince me otherwise.

On the plus side, she can now engage in the scar conversation. And honestly, I feel pretty stupid for not realizing where that was going earlier in the episode.

I have zero hope that Oliver and Laurel can get back together now. (Which is fine with me, as I don't want them together). After he sleeps w...

One Tree Hill 5X8: Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want

WTF IS THIS?!?! THIS CHICK IS TOTALLY TRYING TO SINGLE WHITE FEMALE HALEY. GET THE FUCK OUT!

Okay, so Nathan definitely told her that all the flirting and skinny dipping is not okay. Step in the right direction. But none of this is okay! She's totally trying to replace Haley. I will not stand for it. Last season I would have said Nathan wouldn't either, but here we are. He said nothing to her or Haley after he kissed him! Granted he didn't kiss back, but he didn't push her away or yell ...

The 100 3X6: Bitter Harvest

Things are getting worse. This is not good. Pike is ruining everything!

Octavia tried to help the Grounders, but instead, they set a trap for Sky Crew. Bellamy manages to survive, but we lose Monroe (and apparently some one else, but I don't know who that is).

I don't know exactly what is going on with Allie and this computer program, but it does get us to learn that there were actually 13 stations, not 12 on the Ark, but we lost one before it could join up. And apparently, wherev...

Schedule June 24-28

Ugh. This is so late. I guess this is just the norm for me now. Sigh.

Also, I want to point out that you guys have been making really great points in the comments that I haven't really responded to. I've been reading them, but I'm desperately trying to get ahead. We're away July 20-27, I've got a doctor's appointment this week, and I'm trying to finish Pride stuff this week, so I just haven't had time to get to responding to comments. I want to make sure while we're gone, everything co...

Happy Pride! Drunk Re-Watch: Glee 2X16: Original Song

And I barely even remember recording this one. 😳

Happy Pride! Drunk Re-Watch: Schitt's Creek 5X13: The Hike

And I'm progressively more drunk. And louder. So, so so much louder.

Happy Pride! Drunk Re-Watch: Schitt's Creek 5X11: Meet the Parents

I love Patrick's parents. It was such a lovely scene between them and Patrick at the cafe. Plus, who doesn't love Patrick assuming (correctly) that David didn't pay for the stuff he put in the gift basket.

True Blood 2X5: Never Let Me Go

So we're learned there are werewolves in this universe! That's fun.

But seriously, what the hell is Maryann? (Don't tell me.) At first I though it was just sexual energy, but apparently she can do whatever? I'm so curious about her. However, she can't invite herself to stay at someone else's house. This isn't even Tara's house. It's Sookie's! And Tara ended up saying yes? What the hell?

Sookie really wants to talk to Barry about their shared connection, but he wants no part of it....

Arrow 2X13: Heir to the Demon

This was not my favorite episode. I don't know if it was because present day Sara is not my favorite character, or the lack or Roy, or something else.

So, the assassin girlfriend shows up to try to get Sara back. In doing so, poisons Laurel, and kidnaps her mother. I guess Sara was right to stay away. But she goes to Nyssa, and gets her to let her mother go by agreeing to go back with her. Unbeknownst to Nyssa, Sara has taken the snake poison and is dying. Then Arrow show up, gives her ...

9-1-1 3X5: Rage

Ugh. I hate this. I have no idea how Buck was able to sit there and watch this complete assassination of his friends by his lawyer. He looked so uncomfortable. And after all that, they offer him money, and his lawyer seems confused when he tells him he doesn't want it. I feel like Buck was very clear in what he wanted the outcome of this to be.

I would have completely lost my shit if I were Michael. I have no idea how he held it together as well as he did when that cop pulled his gun on...

Outlander 3X10: Heaven and Earth

And of course, Jamie is going to be hanged. Again. Why can't this man catch a break? First he loses Young Ian, then he's horribly sea sick, then they take his wife, then they lock him up, now they want him for treason and murder. Can our boy just get a small sliver of happiness now that his wife is home? Please. It's not too much to ask.

Claire manages to mostly contain the outbreak on the ship, which the captain is grateful for and claims he owes Claire a debt. However, he's unwilling ...

One Tree Hill 5X7: In da Club

I'm sorry, but at this point, Nathan is complicit in this. Up until this point, I could stretch my imagination to believe that he was oblivious. Well the time for that has past. There is zero chance he does not know what Carrie is doing at this point. And while he hasn't done anything horrible yet, he's so close to that line. He needs to talk to both Carrie and Haley. And Carrie needs to be fired. Naley have worked so hard to get back to this point, I don't want this bitch to mess it up!

The 100 3X5: Hakeldama

I hate this. Pike is really screwing everything up here. Why are so many people on his side? Especially Bellamy? I get that a lot of this is just survival, but isn't it easier to survive together?

I'm not entirely sure what Lexa's and Clarke's plan for peace is here, either. Clarke can't convince Bellamy to stop, so she tries to convince Lexa to, which works. But what's gonna happen when the Sky People come and attack them just for existing? How is that going to be peaceful? They are g...

Better Call Saul 6X10: Nippy

This episode was super weird. It was interesting, but I have no idea what it has to do with this show. Especially since we are not only 3 episodes away from this show being over. Hopefully, somehow this ties in whatever's gonna happen going forward.

Shameless 5X9: Carl's First Sentencing

I really loved the Carl and Chuckie stuff in this episode. I wish this entire episode was that. We spend way too much time on Frank and his doctor, when we could have been using that time to watch Sammi carve a fucking swastika on Chuckie's forehead. But, seriously, I could not handle Sammie in this episode. And what I mean by that is, she was a ton of fun to watch. It's so much more enjoyable to watch her be crazy as opposed to annoying.

Mickey got Ian back on his meds. So far, so good...
