9-1-1 2X3: Help Is Not Coming

I got emotional at various times in this episode. Sorry about that. Lol.

This was fairly stressful to watch. I mean, I felt fairly confident that Hen was gonna be fine, but it was still anxiety producing watching her not be able to say the other firefighter and then potentially not be able to save herself. I did not enjoy it.

But watching all the firefighters decide to break the rules and come back for Hen was beautiful to watch. Especially when she she walked out with Kat on her...

Arrow 1X16: Dead to Rights

Dude. Tommy finding out about Oliver was not even on my radar for this episode. Or any episode soon. This secret identity isn't managing to stay very secret. I'm not the only one who thinks Tommy was hurt when Oliver told him he didn't plan to ever tell him, right?

And in addition to finding out about Oliver, he almost found out his dad is Hood Guy #2. Big day for Tommy. Lol. Speaking of Malcolm, what was he getting an award for? I can't figure this guy out. What exactly does he do when...

Outlander 2X3: Useful Occupations and Deceptions

Okay, so I had a bunch of questions this episode. No surprise, they are all about the who people in history are. But I think the answers are pretty simple. I just don't know them. Sigh.

I was 100% with Claire. I really think Jamie was going to be happy that she'd found found that she enjoyed. I was super surprised by his outburst and thought he was being a little ridiculous. Claire explained, politely, and he blew up at her. That said, I do think it was really about other stuff and not ...

One Tree Hill 4X8: Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye

I mean, should Nathan have told Daunte (which is a really weird way to spell Daunte) no from the start? Of course. Would that have actually helped his situation? I don't think so. You can't just say no to these kinds of people as we learned when they threatened to break Nathan's leg. You also can't pay them off, so short of going to the cops, I have no idea how to get out of this situation.

And between him getting MVP and Whitey telling him that he really wants to win the championship g...

Hello, Hello.

So, we've had a decent influx of new members recently. Hi! I just wanted to provide some quick context about me for people who are new.

Very briefly, if you are surprised that I haven't seen X or Y: I didn't really start watching any TV until my late 20s, so I missed pretty much everything that was 'of my era.' No, I didn't grow up in a cult or anything, I just read all the damn time. Now I only read, like, half the damn time. Lol.

I'm not a big movie watcher either (although I do...

Schedule Update!

The lovely Melissa has be kind enough to sponsor the next season of The 100, so that will be starting Monday! As usual, sponsored shows will go up Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (unless the sponsor prefers something else), so we'll be watching The 100 for several more weeks at least! Huzzah!

May 6-10

We may end up with some tweaks to this schedule. We've got The 100 coming to an end (sponsorship-wise) so it might be replaced with something. I'll keep you guys updated if that ends up being the case. If we don't get anything else scheduled in it's place by the end of next week, I'll do a poll to see what we want to replace it with.

Is it weird that I've already been looking at things to replace One Tree Hill? It's still over 100 episodes away, but I'm kind of freaking out about t...

True Blood 1X10: I Don't Wanna Know

I win! Sam is a shapeshifter! But Suki isn't taking it particularly well. She claims it's because he didn't tell her. I'm not sure if that's the whole truth. I think she's mostly just upset because Bill's not back yet.

And speaking of Bill, I have a feeling Suki is gonna be pissed when she finds out what he did. Granted it was him or her, but he's kind of seeming to relish in it a little bit, no?

Tara is pissed at Miss Jeanette. I kind of feel like, they both feel better, so who ...

First/Last: The Good Place

This is the first and last episode of S1 of The Good Place. This was a lot of fun. I kind of wish I watched the whole thing. Lol.

I'd say my predictions were maybe, 20% right. And I think that's generous.

The 100 1X13: We Are Grounders Part II

I'm pretty sure I said that Lisa sponsored this show. Lisa has sponsored lots of things, but this one was Melissa. I'm so sorry, loves!

That said, this was an incredible season finale. I loved all of it. We've potentially lost so many people! Raven, Bellamy, Finn, Jaha; all dead, probably dead, or presumed dead. Octavia ran off with Lincoln so he could save her. That's a lot of main characters missing right now!

I love the ending we got here. It was surprising, but set up in advan...

9-1-1 2X2: 7.1

Holy shit this episode was stressful. But also, incredible. I CANNOT BELIEVE THE EPISODE ENDED THERE!

I think all my shows with athletes really made me feel for Jeff. I definitely teared up a bunch at that scene.

Also, I do not like that we did not get a response from Hen when she fell during the aftershock.

Loving Buck and Eddie working together though. I love that it didn't take long for the two of them to trust each other. I also love Bobby's speech and the reaction of t...

Arrow 1X15: Dodger

Ack! We finally get some Felicity in action and she almost gets beheaded!

And Colton is finally here! Is he a bad guy? A superhero? A regular inhabitant of the Glades? A love interest for Thea? I have no idea. There are so many options!

Both Oliver and Diggle are dating this episode. Neither first date goes well, but both seem to agree to give it another shot. (And no, Oliver's date is not with Felicity. Sigh.) But Oliver's date is now tasked with helping Quintin find and take do...

Outlander 2X2: Not in Scotland Anymore

Well, Randall is alive. Fuck. I knew that was too easy. Anytime someone is 'left for dead' they are usually not dead. I was still keeping hope alive though. Lol.

So far, Jamie is not doing well on his end to get Prince Charles (I think this is right, please correct me if I'm wrong) to stop from taking up the cause. But Claire, after her meeting with the finance guy (even though he totally misconstrued what she meant) seemed to make a better impression. I mean, granted, Jamie tossed him ...

One Tree Hill 4X7: All These Things That I've Done

These guys are so not from Duke. I really thought they were, like, recruiters of some kind. Now I think they're loan sharks? Like I said, anything is possible in Tree Hill. Lol. Either way, I don't think we've seen the last of them.

Deb is out of control. She (like everyone else in this town) needs to go see a qualified therapist. Why is no one in therapy? Seriously. Was it still super taboo back in the early 2000s? I remember going a couple times around that time right after my dad die...

The Good Place First/Last

OMG. You guys. I 100% forgot I was going to do this!

I'm so sorry! On the plus side, I'm only a week late. Lol.

So, tomorrow, Friday May 3rd, you will be getting the first/last of S1 for The Good Place for $10/month subscribers and up.

Friday Night Lights 2X4: Backfire

Eric is back! It was a little touch and go for a bit, and I'm not sure why you would fight to keep a job where no one wanted you (especially if they were paying you to not do it), but Eric is back where he should be. Finally. 3 episodes was too long. The show was feeling disjointed without him.

I'm thinking Jason is not going to have this surgery. I'm also thinking that, yes, Lyla is going to drive to Mexico to talk him out of it. I think this is a good step for Tim, though, even if Jas...

Shameless 4X7: A Jailbird, Invalid, Martyr, Cutter, Retard, and Parasitic Twin

This is a hell of a title.

Okay, so, Fiona getting off with zero jail time seems a bit unrealistic. But I agree with both the lawyer and Lip. Had she gone to trial, she was totally gonna go away for the maximum amount of time. Juries don't like people who endanger kids. But some of the terms of her pleading guilty are gonna be a problem for her. Firstly, house arrest, this girl needs to work. And secondly, she's around people engaged in illegal activity all the damn time.

So Ian i...

Better Call Saul 5X6: Wexler v. Goodman

I really have no idea how the solution to this issue Jimmy and Kim are having is to get married. I feel like last time, Jimmy was trying to fix the issue by buying a house. Now, Kim is trying to fix the issue by getting married. What is happening here?

Kevin does not seem like a bright man. He also seems like he's willing to just money at a problem to make it go away, so maybe Jimmy's strategy is correct. That said, I get why he didn't tell Kim, but she specifically told him NOT to run ...

The 100 1X12: We Are Grounders- Part 1

This episode was intense. And incredible.

We may actually get the Ark in the ground. And if they land somewhere far from where The 100 landed, I think it would be fine for everyone to be on the ground at the same time. It would be really fun to watch how the authoritarian, elders set up camp as opposed to the kids.

I knew Murphy was going to continue his killing spree. And then he tried to kill Bellamy. You know that wasn't going to go well. He's in constant contact with too many ...

Stranger Things 1X5: Episode 5: The Flea and the Acrobat

Okay! We are, again, starting to be definite connections! I mean, I still have a ton of questions, but we're getting somewhere!

Also, yes. I'm now sure of the fact that Hopper is gonna be the best of all the characters.

So, is Nancy now stuck in what I assume is The Upside Down? Or since she went in this tiny little gate, she'll be able to pull herself back out? I really don't understand how this works. It seems like there is one big gate, in the lab, and a bunch of little ones? ...

Outlander 2X1: Through a Glass, Darkly

Guys, I really lost my shit in the beginning. I did not want to see her in 1948 with Frank. Under any circumstances. Especially after the morning I had. Lol.

How Claire managed to look Frank in the face and not lose her shit, since he looks, literally, exactly like the man who tried to rape her and did rape, torment, and torture her husband is beyond me.

But we finally get to France (I was so wrong on how I thought they were going to do it), and find that of course, they've alread...

9-1-1 2X1: Under Pressure

So Abby's still not back. And it doesn't seem like Buck knows if they are actually together or not. I was afraid of this. But his sister is here, and it seems like she is going to stay since she took a job as a 9-1-1 operator. I hope this doesn't mean that Abby is planning to stay gone all season.

I'm not actually sure why Athena is so resistant to being seen in public with Bobby. First off, it's Bobby! I'd wanna show that guy off! But mostly because she gave like a dozen reasons why an...

Arrow 1X14: The Odyssey

This was 100% my favorite episode so far. We got Felicity, island flashbacks, and no villain of the week!

Okay, so, we absolutely need Felicity on this team. If anyone can convince her, it's Oliver, right? Not only do I want her around more often (and to date, love, and marry Oliver), but she's incredibly useful. I hope she changes her minds and decides she wants to stay.

I loved all these island flashbacks! But, as usual, the more we learn, the more questions we get. I'm still no...

One Tree Hill 4X6: Where Did You Sleep Last Night

I'm so not into this Derek storyline. I'm glad he's choosing to distance himself from Peyton right now. There are too many other things I'm interested in. We don't need to take away from them. Lol.

Are they really going to let Nathan and Haley have this baby? I expect some sort of accident to befall Haley and her to lose the baby. It seems like it will be too difficult to add a baby into the mix right now. Unless it's going to be one of those babies who basically never exist on TV. Or i...

Felicity 3X4: Greeks and Geeks

Um, I'm not sure what to think about this episode.

Do those drugs belong to someone? Is it Julie? If she lied about her father, maybe she lied about this too? It seems weird to introduce the drugs but then just decide they were always in the closet.

I loved this Megan/Sean storyline. She's delightful playing this phone sex operator and it made me realize that I think they actually do care about each other. It seems like such an odd pairing but it seems to be working somehow.

Shameless 4X6: Iron City

So it looks like Liam is gonna be okay. At least for the moment.

Dude. Lip is pissed. It was sort of interesting to watch this episode because usually it's Fiona and Lip working in tandem to get stuff done, but with Fiona in jail, Ian off on his own and Debbie fleeing to Matty's, the second in command ended up being Carl. They grow up so fast.

Frank's dying, but that's not news. The doctor is giving him what seems like weeks, but Frank is convinced he's got another 10 years. I do...

Friday Night Lights 2X3: Are You Ready for Friday Night?

So it looks like we're getting Eric back. Thank god. Things are falling apart without him. Although, I have no idea how Buddy is going to pull this off. But him coming back is good for so many thing. Riggins might not die, Smash might not get an even bigger ego than he already has, Jason might get his coaching job back (which he's really good at), teammates might stop fighting in the middle of the field, Julie might start to obey the rules again, and on, and on, and on.

I'm concerned (a...

Better Call Saul 5X5: Dedicado a Max

I didn't love this episode. It was fine. But I'm so not into the Gus/Salamanca war right now. I'm much more interested in watching Jimmy and Kim plan con man.

I'm dying to know what Kim saw in the pictures that make her think she's got something on Kevin. I figured it would be one of the documents, so I'm surprised it was one of the random photos. I'm wondering what caused her to double down after he boss tells her step away from Mesa Verde because he doesn't believe it's a coincidence ...

The 100 1X11: The Calm

I cannot conceive of a situation where grounders and the hundred can work together. Not anymore. I really thought I had a hypothesis: them against the Mountain Men. But after Clarke couldn't save Tris and killed the other grounder, and Anya plans to kill Finn, I don't think peace can be made at this point. But something's gotta give. I just don't know what.

That signal from the black box and what was coming over the radios in this episode somehow has to mean something, especially with M...

9-1-1 1X10: A Whole New You

I absolutely loved the theme of this episode. It's such an interesting and fun thought experiment. What does it mean to change?

Also, are Bobby and Athena really going to start dating? I could see it. I would have been so mad if that happened 10 episode ago. It took me a while to realize that Athena might be good enough for Bobby. Lol.

I was so confused in the beginning of this episode. I just couldn't believe that Buck was doing this, but I could only guess it was from a while ag...
