9-1-1 3X1: Kids Today

Ugh. I don't know how I feel about Buck's situation. I feel like they swung me back and forth between whether he was gonna be okay or not. And we end up on the side (potentially) of not okay? I don't like it! Do I find it realistic? Yes. Do I like it? No. Sigh. But that said, he totally didn't quit for real, right? Right?

This might have been one of my favorite 9-1-1 calls (maybe this and also the one where the dad kidnapped all his kids), with the crazy lady who cut a baby out of someo...

Outlander 3X6: A. Malcolm

Okay, so 90% of this reaction is just me smiling like an idiot. But I don't think I'm going to apologize for it. I was so happy!

This was the reunion we all needed. They were a little hesitant with each other at first, but I suppose that's to be expected after 20 years. But it didn't seem to take long for them to be comfortable around each other again.

That said, I think they are probably going to need another place to live. I don't think they want to live at the brothel. Especial...

Arrow 2X9: Three Ghosts

OMG. What is going on this episode?!

Oliver is fine, Barry saved him fairly quickly. But Oliver is now hallucinating that Shado, Slade, and Tommy are appearing to him. It's distracting while he's trying to work, to say the least.

Anyway, Roy is captured and injected with the Mirakuru and left for dead. But Oliver shows up and revives him (or maybe he came back on his own- that's a story for another time). The serum seemed to give him super healing, but is he gonna turn into o...

One Tree Hill 5X3: My Way Home is Through You

I don't know if it's just that she's a new character, but Lindsey doesn't really seem to fit in with the rest of the cast. It seems like they are trying to make her friendly with everyone, but she doesn't really have chemistry with anyone. That said, she is totally jealous of Luke getting inspired as soon as both Peyton and Brooke came home. Also, I'm fairly certain that Peyton really does want Luke back. And I'm certain Brooke does not. Peyton protests too much. Plus, it's easy to see how mu...

The 100 3X1: Wanheda: Part One

So much happened in this episode!

Okay, so Clarke is basically on the run. She's got a bunch of enemies (well sort of- people are just trying to kill her so they can get her essence as the Commander of Death...I think). but has managed to stay hidden for several months. However, after sleeping with the trading post girl, she get grabbed at knife (sword?) point as she tries to slip out. I'm guessing she's gonna be fine, but it was still a cliffhanger-y way to end. Lol.

I'm not ent...

Felicity 3X10: Unknown

Okay, so this episode was titled 'Let's Get It On' on Hulu where I watched it. But when I looked it up later, it was titled 'Final Touches,' on google, so I'm not entirely sure what this is called.

Either way, Felicity is wearing herself too thin. She's got way too much going on and cannot really make it all happen.

I 100% believe that the university would not let her drop the class. At least in my experience, those add/drop dates are basically set in stone.

Um, what does it...

Shameless 5X6: Crazy Love

What is this crazy Svengali power that Jimmy has over Fiona? She's like magnetically attracted to him. I just don't get. Is he literally, just the best in bed? I'm not sure I could deal with him, even if he was that good.

Why the hell is Sammi here? And why are the kids actually listening to her? I don't believe for a second that Debbie and Carl would follow any direction or rule she gave them.

But doctor, don't you know Frank has a plan? 🙄 He's gonna space out this liver for 1...

Better Call Saul 6X7: Plan and Execution

I think this was probably the best episode of the show.

Words are not going to be able to explain how good this was. Not even sure what to say here, so I'm going to say nothing.

Friday Night Lights 2X15: May the Best Man Win

This felt like such a subtle way to end the season.

I really like the Smash storyline. I'm super curious to see how that plays out. At least he ended up somewhere. Plus, like Eric said, he can probably transfer once the other schools see that what happened was just a one time thing.

And that scene with Smash, Eric, and coach of Whitmore was so good.

Ugh. I was so annoyed with Mo. I wanted to throttle him. But that said, it's not a good look for Eric to drink half a bottle ...

More Drunk Re-watches and Pride Month

Happy Pride!

I wanted to do something to honor Pride month, and I was thinking about some drunk re-watches. Do you have any suggestions? I'll leave some options, but please feel free to chime in.

Also, if you guys have things that I should watch (I've set aside about 6 hours this month to do some Pride stuff- so probably movies as opposed to TV) sober for the first time, happy to do that as well.

But honestly, drop some LBGTQI+ stuff in the comments overall. I'm always looki...

9-1-1 2X18: This Life We Choose

OMG. Bobby! This was incredibly stupid. It ending up working out, but it could have went so badly! But on the plus side, I guess it ended up reinstating him as captain. But I'm not happy about the fact that he made this decision.

And Buck! My gods. I cannot even imagine how he feels right now. All he wants is to work for the 118, and now, not only is his future in jeopardy, his girlfriend isn't sure she wants to stay with him. In all honestly, I 100% get her hesitation, but it's probabl...

Outlander 3X5: Freedom & Whiskey

If the two of them are not within touching distance next episode, I'm walking away. (Okay, you know I won't, but I'm gonna be pissed). We're so so so so close!

Do we think that our flashbacks are going to consist of Brianna and Roger going forward? I don't think we've seen the end of Frank though. I think he'll continue to show up in flashbacks.

You know, in hindsight, I feel pretty bad for Brianna. When I was watching I was so anxious to get to a Jamie and Claire reunion, that I ...

Arrow 2X8: The Scientist

OMG. Felicity found a counterpart! And Oliver seemed jealous!

So this super human strength stuff is not new to Oliver (or Barry it seems). But somehow this is all tied back to Blood. He's making this race of super people. Not quite sure why yet, though. Is he trying to create an army to do his bidding? What is he trying to accomplish here?

Dude. He shot Roy! I get it was to try to keep him out of direct harm's way, but come on! Plus, Thea is gonna be super pissed if he start tryin...

One Tree Hill 5X2: Racing Like a Pro

I'm surprised to say how much I like little Jamie. Usually, I'm not a fan of kids in adult shows, but for whatever reason this kid (and honestly, Christoper in 9-1-1 too) is pulling at my heart strings. Lol.

I love that Peyton and Brook are both back in Tree Hill to stay. And that Brooke is taking over the cafe, and Peyton the back of Tric. I love the full circle-ness of it all. Also, I agree with Brooke and Lucas, I do really think that Peyton will be good at this.

Why is Mouth's...

The 100 2X16: Blood Must Have Blood, Part Two

I really didn't expect them to go with the nuclear option. But, I suppose the options they did have were slim. But Maya and the children did not deserve this.

Oh, that was some sweet justice Lincoln got there with Cage. Honestly, I was concerned he might end up injecting himself with the red. I'm so glad that it did not turn out that way. I was also, maybe a little too gleeful about this. Lol.

We're kind of splintered off now. Clarke is taking off unable to deal with her guilt, Ja...

Schedule Update: The 100 Season 3

We're rolling into S3! I just heard from our sponsor and they are planning to sponsor S3 as well. Thank you, Melissa! I seriously love this show.

So S3 will start on Wednesday (even though it's not on the schedule). And continue along with our Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule.

I'm so excited! You guys sponsor the best stuff!

Schedule June 10-14

Yes, this is late. Sorry. Eek.

Notable things this week, we start S3 on both 9-1-1 and Friday Night Lights.

Also, we finish S2 of The 100 on Monday. I'm not sure if we're going on to S3 or not. Once I check with the sponsor, I'll keep you posted.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Merch? (This Seems Insane)

So, I think this is crazy, but I get survey results about what people want. And you guys want merch? I don't really know how to process that. This channel was sort of just something I decided to do on a lark, and turned out, I really enjoy it! (And, thankfully, lots of you guys do too.)

I have not looked into merch at all. But I will say this. As someone who has bought a ton of merch over the years in the form of shirts, I'm hesitant to do that. I just sucks when you buy a shirt and gai...

For the 3rd Time: Arrow 2X7: Queen v. State

The discussion starts at about 44:10.

I  forgot to add the discussion to original post (and the post I made up for it with. I suck today). Thank you so much Sabrina for letting me know, I appreciate it.

Ooh, this episode was fun (yes, again).

True Blood 2X3: Scratches

I so don't blame Bill for Sookie getting hurt this time. I think it's mostly her fault. But they are both being stubborn here. However, I don't know what the hell that was that attacked her. And no one else seems to know either.

But after she's cured, she manages to get Lafayette freed, so that's awesome. And he's totally freaked out. It doesn't seem like he's been made into a vampire, but wouldn't surprise me, if we get blindsided with it later. But honestly, I think if he was, he woul...

Arrow 2X7: State v. Queen

Ooh, this episode was fun (yes, again).

I can't be the only one who loved the exchange between Oliver and Felicity after she was safe. 'I'm sorry I put myself in a position for you to have to make the choice to kill again.' (Paraphrasing). 'There was no choice, Felicity.' Holy fucking swoon.

Dude. Blood and The Count are in cahoots? I did not see that coming. I kind of assumed that the person Vertigo dude was dealing with was Malcolm. (We knew he wasn't dead!) But that said, I don...

9-1-1 2X17: Careful What You Wish For

I love that even though Bobby is not the actual captain right now, we are all still treating him like he is. I love that he's basically everyone's dad.

Also, I thought Chim would have been a good option for the interim captain. But I can see how it would be difficult to start taking orders from someone who was your peer the day before. Plus, Chim is learning how hard it is to make decisions and be in charge. (I do love that he called Bobby for help though).

Outlander 3X4: Of Lost Things

No, no, no, no, no. I thought we were getting closer to Claire and Jamie getting back together, not farther apart. Ugh. Boo. I hate it.

Poor Willie. His mom died after childbirth and Jamie shot and killed his fake dad. As much as I HATED how Geneva forced Jamie to have sex with her (and then he was so nice and kind to her during it), I do like that he finally got a child. Jamie seems like he'd be a really good father. It's sad that he needed to leave though, but I get it. I also think h...

One Tree Hill 5X1: 4 Years, 6 Months, 2 Days

So we did end up skipping over all of college. I think that totally fixes my issue about how Haley and Nathan were raise James while at college.

This episode was not super fun to watch. Having to see Nathan and Haley not getting along, and him going through this, and all our friends scattered about, makes it feel like a different show. Thankfully, it seems like we're all in the same place by the end of the episode.

Brooke getting everything she wanted, but still not being happy. ...

The 100 2X15: Blood Must Have Blood, Part One

Fuck. I was so not expecting this ending. I really thought we were gonna play this alliance out until the end. Also, the Sky People did all the fucking work! And Lexa and her Grounders get all the pay off from it. Bellamy saved everyone inside. Raven and Wick figured out how to destroy the generators and open the doors. What the hell did the Grounders do? And they all get to walk away?!?! (Can you tell I'm not pleased?)

I'm also sort of shocked that this was Dante's idea. I really thoug...

Better Call Saul 6X6: Axe and Grind

I'm not sure what the cold opening was about here. Maybe to just highlight the difference between 8 year old Kim and current day Kim?

Lalo is hell bent on taking down Gus. I mean the amount of effort he's putting in here is kind of superhuman. Problem is, I don't think this German guy knows anything useful to tell him. Pretty sure they had no idea what they were building.

Are Howard and his wife living apart because of Jimmy and Kim's antics? Or is this totally unrelated?

So...

Shameless 5X5: Right of Passage

It was hard to watch Frank in this episode. He was just so cringy. But, I guess cringy is kind of the best we can ask for with Frank.

And speaking of cringe, come on Kevin, you've got to be better than this. You cannot show up to a playground and claim you're flying solo and just there to pick up women. You're dumb, but you're not that dumb.

I could sort of do without Debbie right now. I'm so not interested in her learning to box. Not that it wasn't fun to watch her punch her two ...

Friday Night Lights 2X14: Leave No One Behind

Um, I know Matt is going through it right now, but this is so wildly out of character for him. Skipping school, getting drunk in the middle of the day, going to strip clubs with Riggins? Come on. However, we do get that great scene where Eric throws him in the shower, so I'll take it.

Do we think Eric can find a way to help Smash get back to TMU? Does he still have any contacts there? I don't think, in any way, what Smash did should have them rescinding this offer. Maybe I'm off here, b...

Stranger Things 2X2: Chapter Two: Trick or Treat, Freak

Ooh, this episode was fun! I really enjoyed it.

I was so confused when Eleven started out in the Upside Down. I didn't realize it was a flashback for a good while and I was slightly disoriented. Lol.

Not sure exactly why Hopper couldn't take El trick or treating. But if he wasn't gonna keep his promise to being home on time (which really pissed me off), I guess it didn't really matter. If he had said they could go, he wouldn't have shown up for it anyway. Sigh.

Literally n...
