Outlander 3X3: All Debts Paid

This, I think, was the best episode of the season so far. If it was because it was actually good, or because we're finally close to Jamie and Claire getting back together, I cannot say.

Jamie's storyline was better than Claire's in this episode. (Not that I don't think graduating from medical school is a huge achievement). I loved how he was sort of the spokesperson for the prisoners and the guards respected him.

I was confused though, about how Jamie didn't remember the name 'Gr...

9-1-1 2X16: Bobby Begins Again

Ugh. We had to watch Bobby go through that again. That was not a good time.

But they made up for it by letting us watch him get healthy and start to let people in again.

It was also really interesting to see the difference between Hen's first day, Chim's first day, and Bobby's first day. I agree with Bobby though. I think he's completely fair.

Also, I lost my shit at that rooster. I could not stop laughing.

I'm really hoping that in the next episode our friends all s...

Arrow 2X6: Keep Your Enemies Closer

Oh, this episode was so much better than the last one! We're back to super fun!

I really do seem to like Sara's backstory, way better than her in current day. I totally fell for her turning on Oliver though. I don't know what happened. She started out trying to help him. I hope we get to see what make her flip.

We went to Russia! Is this the first time we realized that Anatoly was on the ship with Oliver? Or did we know that and I'm just me?

Totally did not expect to run int...

One Tree Hill 4X21: All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone

Okay. Nothing I predicted happened. At all.

While I can believe that Dan is in jail, and Karen is okay, I'm still having a hard time believing that Haley and Nathan's baby is gonna be around for the rest of the show. (Can't be a conincidence they named him James, right?)

So, Karen goes to visit Dan and seethes venom at him. She also spits at him. It was pretty great. Lucas and Nathan decide not to go see him at all. I also like this as well. I'm unsure if he'll actually spend a s...

The 100 2X14: Bodyguard of Lies

Oh, this was such a good episode!

I'm loving the tension between Clarke and Lexa. But WTF. I don't know how Clarke can continue to trust Lexa after she tried to have Octavia killed. That some fucked up shit right there. And then she went and kissed Clarke like that would make up for it! (Also, I KNEW there was gonna be fanfic about the two of them).

Thank God for Bellamy. Who knew the Mountain Men were listening? Then they cut the radio so Bellamy couldn't get in touch with Raven...

Felicity 3X9: James and the Giant Piece

I had to look up where I knew the actor who plays James from, it was driving me batty. He played Jim Craig in Miracle. Whew.

Anyway, I still love the Molly/Ben stuff. I hope that by him telling Felicity all, that's not the end of this storyline, but it sort of feels like it has to be. I'm not sure how they could sustain it after this. And I honestly don't know what I would have done if I were Ben. I don't think what he did was wrong necessarily, but I can see why Molly would see it as a...

Shameless 5X4: A Night to Remem...Wait, What?

You know, I think I was a little hard on this episode when I did the discussion at the end, but now that I'm typing it up, I think I enjoyed it more than I claimed to. (Not that I said I didn't like it, but I don't think I was overly enthusiastic about it. Lol).

I'm not sure I believe that Frank got up to all those antics, even with $122,000. Now, I'm blowing it all on drugs, booze, and prostitutes, I buy.

Ha. I kind of love the twist that Lip and Amanda's dad actually get along r...

Better Call Saul 6X5: Black and Blue

I don't know that this was a favorite episode of mine.

Honestly, it felt long and kind of boring. This might be the first criticism I've ever given this show. Lol.

Kim keeping the news of Lalo being alive from Jimmy is definitely gonna back to bite her in the ass, I'm sure of it.

And Lalo chatting up head German guys wife in Germany was fun and unexpected. (Although I should have figured out something was going on from the cold opening).

Gus is totally freaking out abo...

Friday Night Lights 2X13: Humble Pie

So, I know that Smash (and the rest of the guys on the team) genuinely just love to play the game. Since he's already committed to TMU, does his not playing actually hurt his career? (Assuming that TMU doesn't rescind due to moral clauses or anything). Or is he just sad he won't get to finish out the season and make playoffs/state etc.?

All that said, I don't disagree with Smash, but if you're going to be a public figure, you need to realize that is the kind of stuff that comes with. (W...

The Aftermath of a Typical Reacting Day

I mean, as far as vices go, seltzer isn't the worst choice, right?

It might be getting out of hand though. I spend a small fortune on this every week. 🤣

9-1-1 2X15: Ocean's 9-1-1

I have a feeling you're all going to be disappointed. It feels like this was a fan favorite episode, but I've never seen Ocean's Eleven, so a lot of what I assume were references were lost on me.

Ugh. I know they came up with plenty of motives for most of the people in the 118 to have a reason to steal the money, but really. We know none of them were gonna steal it.

And I was not happy when the detectives said that Bobby doesn't know his team and they don't know him (because of wh...

Arrow 2X5: League of Assassins

I think this was my least favorite episode. While I like the Sara flashbacks, I don't really like the current day Sara plot. But it looks like she's gone, at least for the time being.

Quintin refuses to listen to Felicity (I really thought he would), and the only way to keep him safe, is for Sara to reveal to him that she's alive. After a quick reunion, she's off again after making him promise not to tell Laurel or her mom that she's alive. I get she trying to keep them all safe, but ho...

Outlander 3X2: Surrender

You guys, Jamie is completely falling apart without Claire. It's so hard to watch. How long is this gonna go on?

It's been six years the British are still looking for Red Jamie? Seriously? Find something better to do with your time. And poor Ian keeps getting arrested for it. I understand why Jamie chose to get captured, but this is going to make it much more difficult for Claire to get back to him if he's in jail!

And speaking of Claire, she's sort of trying (I think, maybe?) to ...

One Tree Hill 4X20: The Birth and Death of the Day

Um, do we think Lucas is good enough of a shot to deliberately miss Dan, that closely, on purpose? I don't buy it. Lol.

Okay, so if, like, five people know about Dan shooting Keith, is that enough to get him arrested? Even if they have no actual proof? Also, I'm really thinking Dan is not going to turn himself in (when he was hanging around the police station), but he's going to tell them Lucas shot at him. Also, am I the only one who totally thought he was gonna steal Karen's baby?

The 100 2X13:Resurrection

I really didn't think Abby would be able to understand Clarke's point of view here so quickly. I'm still not sure she agrees with what Clarke did, but she understands, thanks to that conversation with Kane (I'm pro Kane right now, if you're curious. Lol.).

Not sure if Clarke and Lexa are getting closer or further apart though. I think this is probably just what happens when you have two head-strong leaders who both think they are right. That said, I feel pretty confident thehy can work ...

True Blood 2X2: Keep This Party Going

You know, the beginning of this episode was really the first time I ever felt like I could root for Bill and Sookie as a couple. And then the end of the episode happened. Lol. I don't fault Bill for being upset Sookie knew this was a bad idea and let herself get roped into it anyway. But he was definitely more harsh than needed to be, I think.

That said, if I'd been abused by my father and now I had the means to hurt him, I might jump at that chance too.

Do we think Maryann is a s...

Arrow 2X4: Crucible

This episode was insane. We get not one, but two crazy reveals.

First, Sara is alive?!? And she's the blonde lady with the bow staff? And apparently Sin (who helped out Roy previously) is her friend. That's enough for a whole episode right there.

But then we also get The Mayor (bad guy mayor) showing up at a Guns for Cash event and shooting up the place, but getting knocked out by Sara and being taken into police custody.

However, the police are corrupt and actually bring hi...

One Tree Hill 4X19: Ashes of Dreams You Let Die

Heads up, my intro is long. I add some things I wanted to say after last episode but ran out of time. The actual reaction starts around 10:20 or so.

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

So, here's the dilemma. When Keith got shot by Dan, I originally felt like he'd be fine. Turns out, he wasn't. That makes it possible that Lucas could shoot and kill Dan right now (especially since next season we're g...

Outlander 3X1: The Battle Joined

Oh god. Is it gonna be an entire season of Claire and Jamie living apart?!? Don't do this to me Outlander!

Claire is back to 1948 and still 20 years away from finding out that Jamie lived through the battle and realizing she can go home. Ugh.

She and Frank aren't doing particularly well. But this is just because Frank isn't Jamie. There's nothing really wrong with him. He's trying his best, but at the end of the day, Claire's love is Jamie, not him.

I cannot believe the figh...

9-1-1 2X14: Broken

I feel bad for this episode. It was a perfectly fine episode. But coming after the last two, it kind of felt like a let down. It suffered just because it followed greatness. Lol.

But the 9-1-1 system going down was such a mess. I didn't really think about how complex and controlled everything was. It is so much more efficient now than the way they'd been doing it before. I mean, the 118 ended up in an empty lot!

Is Chimney the first ever work from home firefighter?

This fel...

The 100 2X12: Rubicon

I probably shouldn't be so giddy by this women's death, right? Oops. I feel nothing but enjoyment. Bye Dr. Tsing!

Loving the former president realizing how bad this is and being willing to help Bellamy harm (or kill) his own people to help allow the 47 to escape.

Also, Raven for the win. Getting Bellamy mobile on that radio was so important (and probably impressive, I don't know anything about technology). Plus, it literally saved Clarke and a bunch of other people at Tondc.

Schedule June 3-7

How is it possible that we start One Tree Hill S5 next week? I no longer understand time.

Other than that, both The 100 and 9-1-1 are getting close to the end of their seasons as well. S3 of 9-1-1 has already been sponsored, so look for us to just roll right into that when S2 finishes.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Shameless 5X3: The Two Lisas

Well, I guess Frank screwed himself in the end. But it was always going to happen that way, wasn't it?

Is Sheila really gone? I would hate that. This has been her best season so far.

I don't think Frank will ever hit a new low. I hate what he did here with Sammi, but for me, his worst was tied for calling CPS on his kids and not telling that lady she was gonna get a new heart. Blowing up Sheila's home sucks, but doesn't even come close to how bad Frank has been in the past.

...

Better Call Saul 6X4: Hit and Run

I'm sure you guys are tired of me saying this, but this episode was so fucking good.

I loved the cold opening in this one. And I totally forgot about it until we ended up at the end of the episode and it all connected.

Also, I LOVED Jimmy disguising himself as Howard to steal his car and act like him in front of Cliff. This was the height of insanity. In the best possible way. Also, Jimmy pulling up that sign (and his description of it Kim!) was amazing.

Kim is being followe...

Friday Night Lights 2X12: Who Do You Think You Are?

I just want to point out that I said this episode couldn't have been more than 10 years old. Turns out, it's 16. Whoops. I still think my point stands though, that we shouldn't still be doing this.

This was not my favorite episode. I see what they were going for, but I'm not entirely sure why we did it. Racism hasn't really seemed to be an issue at all up until now. But now, in this one episode, it's happening with everyone? I don't want to be overly negative, but this plot seems to hav...

Outlander 2X13: Dragonfly in Amber

I stupidly thought maybe I could make it through this episode without crying.

Finally, someone reacts to Claire's story the way anyone would! By thinking she's insane. All it took was watching Geillis go through the stones for Brianna to believe. But in all honesty, this is exactly what it would take for me to believe Claire's story as well.

Ugh. I really thought that last minute plan to kill the prince might end up working, but stupid Dougal got in the way and screwed everything ...

Stranger Things 2X1: Chapter One: MADMAX

Ooh, so we've got another person (8? As opposed to 11?) with crazy psychic abilities. But, unlike Eleven, she doesn't seem to actually make anything happen, she just makes people think something happened. That's kind of cool.

I'm not sure that taking Will back to the lab, even with a new doctor is a good idea. And absolutely this poor child is going to have PTSD. How could he not?

What do you do if you're Nancy? Do you tell Barb's parents that's there is no hope of ever finding th...

Arrow 2X3: Broken Dolls

So S2 is consistent with S1. They give us an answer and then force 3 questions. Okay. Cool. Lol.

We've got this doll serial killer. And Quintin has seen them before. He put him in jail, but he escaped when the Glades had the fake earthquake. I hate it. (I mean, I hate that Malcolm destroyed that Glades, not that I hate this storyline).

Um, am I totally biased, or does the death penalty for Moria seem insane? This is only partially based on my belief that the death penalty is total...

One Tree Hill 4X18: The Runaway Found

I had to cut this discussion short, as I had to leave to go to the doctor. Expect the next episode to make up for it.

That said, why the hell did Peyton go to see fake Derek (Ian) on her own in the first place? How did she not know that wouldn't be a good idea?!?

I totally agree with Peyton forgiving 'Ian' though. It's not about his bullshit. It's about her healing.

Haley convinces Luke to take responsibility for the point shaving. I'm kind of shocked about this. Or maybe I...

9-1-1 2X13: Fight or Flight

Why do I hate myself? Why was I dumb enough to watch this before I had to leave to go to the radiologist?

This episode was so intense. I don't know if it's just because I care about everyone on this show, or if it was actually crazy stressful.

I LOVE that Athena was like, this isn't my case, I'm just a citizen who's concerned about my friend. Cops drive me crazy with all the stupid bullshit they pull. This is the kind of stupid bullshit they should be pulling.

Also, Maddie ...
