Arrow 1X13: Beytral

I didn't love this episode. Or maybe I had the same issue with the one about the fire chief. I'm so much more interested in the other things going on, that I don't really care about the villain of the week stuff. Especially this one. He talked such a big game and Hood Guy decimated his 'guards' in like 12 seconds. And then Quintin almost killed him with his bare hands for kidnapping Laurel. Not really a scary big bad.

But I LOVED the Moira stuff. I'm so intrigued with what's going on wi...

Outlander 1X16: To Random a Man's Soul

My god. I thought the last episode was hard to watch, this was worse. Or maybe it was just having to watch Jamie get tortured and raped for two episodes in a row.

On the plus side, those cows were fucking adorable. AND they helped knock out (kill? fingers crossed) Randall.

It broke my heart to think that Jamie would assume Claire would no longer want him after the ordeal he's been through. You cannot judge someone for doing whatever they needed to do to survive. And thankfully (...

One Tree Hill 4X5: I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness

I really thought Nathan might not come through. I feel like an idiot for ever doubting him. To be fair, Haley's had weeks to digest the news of being pregnant and Nathan only found out that second. I think it's normal he'd need a minute, but he came through in the end. Sticking it to Dan, which made it even sweeter. Also, Haley! What are you doing? Why would you ever think Dan would be the person to talk to?! I mean it worked out, but only because of Nathan, not Dan.

Plus Nathan telling...

Friday Night Lights 2X2: Bad Ideas

Am I the only one who thinks Eric will be back to coaching the Panthers sooner, rather than later? This is not working for him, his family, or the Panthers.

Matt and Julie have officially broken up. That said, I don't think the Swede is the guy for her. And I think it's gonna be a bumpy road for Julie in love department for a while.

I'm highly concerned about the Landry and Tyra situation. Mostly because I'm afraid that she's got some misplaced emotions for him after what he did f...

April 29-May 3

Yes, we're still dealing with this ugly calendar. Sigh.

This week wraps up S1 of The 100. It's been a hell of a first season. We're also starting S2 of 9-1-1, which apparently is better than S1, and S1 is great. So, I'm really looking forward to it. And S2 of Outlander! You guys really sponsor awesome stuff.

We're also got our redo of Friday Night Lights coming out Monday.

Hopefully your weekends are all going swimmingly!

True Blood 1X9:Plaisir d'Amour

Do we finally have definitive proof that Sam is a shapeshifter? I've been harping on it forever.

So, Bill killed the bartender to save Sookie and now he's got to go defend himself in vampire court? Do I understand that right?

Does Lizzy Caplan ever play a normal character? Amy is just getting weirder with every episode. Not that I'm complaining, just observing.

Sookie does not seemed thrilled to see Tara and Sam kissing. But she was very adamant about how she loves Bill and ...

The 100 1X10: I Am Become Death

This was my favorite episode so far. Usually when I claim that people either loved or hated the episode and there is no in between. But it seems like this episode was as similarly rated as the last few. But I fucking loved it.

Biological warfare as the grounder attack. Genius. But how the hell did the grounders make (store?) a virus? Clarke tried to tell them that their (The 100's) people, had more technological advancements than the grounders. Seems like it didn't bother them.

Al...

9-1-1 1X9: Trapped

Can we just let homeless people sleep on a bench? He almost dies because, what, it's not a good look for the city?

I loved, loved, loved watched Hen come and help Athena. Her laughter was just infectious. Also, it was so nice to watch her be happy since things have been kind of a mess for her lately. And speaking of which, I have no idea if she and Karen are still together. Hmmm.

While I think Bobby gave Buck some really good advice, I'm not sure I believe that Buck actually wants...

Arrow 1X12: Vertigo

Dude. I just want an entire episode of flashbacks on the island. I'm really curious what the hell happened there. Why are these people acting like this? What side is Yao on? Give me info!

I feel unsurprised that basically nothing happened to Thea. For getting in the car and putting herself and others lives' at risk, she should have totally gotten some jail time. For possession, nah. But probation and community service. Sure.

Do we think Oliver might have more effects from the Vert...

Outlander 1X15: Wentworth Prison

This was so hard to watch. Typically, I don't really have a problem with watching stuff like this, but I don't think I've ever observed something like this in a character that I cared so much about. I felt like Claire might pass out from having to watch this long before poor Jamie did.

So basically, Jamie is 'consenting' to being raped by Randell (I mean, under duress, obviously) to secure Claire's safety. I do not know how either one of them could possible deal with this. The horror th...

One Tree Hill 4X4: Can't Stop This Thing We Started

Okay, so it's not Brooke who is pregnant and I'm pissed about it. That doctor definitely walked in and looked right at Brooke, not Haley, and said, 'you're pregnant.' It would have been fine if the doctor just looked at the chart of something, but that's not how it happened! Grrrr. But I really, really, really love the friendship that Haley and Brooke are building.

Nathan, sweetheart, you need to stop engaging in risky behavior. If anyone will get injured doing it, it's you!

Also...

Friday Night Lights 2X2: Bad Ideas

NOTE: THIS IS THE VERSION WHERE I DO NOT APPEAR IN THE REACTION. I'M IN THE INTRO AND DISCUSSION, BUT THERE IS ONLY AUDIO OF ME DURING THE ACTUAL EPISODE. Another reaction is being re-recorded Monday, April 29, and will be posted the same day. That one is the one you are used to seeing.

Shameless 4X5: There's the Rub

Ian lives!

Well, we knew this was the only way the Fiona/Mike/Robbie situation was gonna go down, right? But kudos to Mike for being as civil about it as humanly possible. He 100% was not required to do anything but not fire her.

Um, is it bad that I kind of want to go to sweat lodge? I mean, my liver is fine, so it should totally be okay, right?

Dude. Fiona. I told you to keep that coke where Liam couldn't get at. And look where we are now. Girl, you fought so hard to get c...

Friday Night Lights 2X2 Verdict

So it seems we're basically in a dead heat.

That said, I've watched the video the way it is now. It's not good. And it's not (I don't think) what you guys signed up for.

My solution is thus: I'm going to release the version, as is, this evening. I'm also going to re-record it on Monday and post the 'normal' version on Monday as well. That way we all win.

I'm so sorry. I don't even know what I did which will make it difficult to keep from doing again. Sigh. Perhaps one day I...

Better Call Saul 5X4: Namaste

I'm honestly not sure if I liked this episode. I mean, I didn't dislike it, but I don't think it was my favorite.

I might have been so caught up in Lyle cleaning the fryer that I disregarded everything else. Lol. But seriously, what was that?!? I kept waiting for it to lead to something, but we got nothing!

Every time I think Kim and Jimmy are over, something happens to pull them back together. This time it's her wanting him to help her with Whitey and Mesa Verde. Also, is what Sa...

Friday Night Lights 2X2

So, I did not realize that this recording was messed up until just now when I went to upload it.

I have the intro and the discussion, which are normal. However, the actual reaction, has my audio, but not my video. So it would literally just be you watching the show and hearing my comments, but you wouldn't see me.

Would you prefer to see that (I could throw an annoyed looking picture of me or something in the corner), or have me re-record the reaction? I have no problem re-recor...

Stranger Things 1X4: Chapter Four: The Body

So, it feels like stuff is actually starting to come together this episode! I mean, I still have a zillion questions, but we're definitely getting somewhere.

It looks like my question of, 'If you die in the alternate reality, do you die in real life?' has been answered. No. At least not that I can tell. The 'Will' that washed up in the quarry was not even human. (Which Joyce seemed to know immediately.)

But Will is still stuck 'hiding' in the house. Thanks to Eleven, not only coul...

The 100 1X9: Unity Day

This was the first episode where I think I was more interested in what was happening on the Ark, as opposed to the ground. And what was happening on the ground was intense. So that should tell you something.

I knew Diana was not to be trusted. I didn't actually know what her plan was (I kind of thought it was to overthrow Jaha, but to do what with the power I wasn't sure) but you knew it was gonna be bad. And it was. Not only did she steal the dropship, but she caused the Ark to be with...

9-1-1 1X8: Karma's a Bitch

OMG. Bobby in this episode. The more I learn about him, the more I love him. I'm watching so many other people who do terrible things while they are under the influence, I don't really feel bad for any of them. I feel bad for Bobby. He's spent the rest of his life trying to make up for what he did. And now, thanks to Chimney, he's literally going to make up for it forever.

Ugh, Hen. I want to feel bad for you, but you 100% did this to yourself.

Also, all these calls were great th...

Arrow 1X11: Trust But Verify

Ooh, so much came to light at the end of this episode! I cannot believe how much I am enjoying this show!

I need so many more flashbacks, it's insane. No matter how much they give me, I need more! Okay, and what the hell was that in the last flashback? Mr. Miyagi is part of the military operation?!? What is happening here? It does lend credence to Oliver's inability to trust, though.

Are Moira and Malcom having an affair? It certainly seems like he wants to. And was there an actua...

Outlander 1X14: The Search

I have to say, I was kind of disappointed in this episode. I feel like we could have put so much else into it! I'm afraid that the next two episodes are going to be so full because there are so many things that still need to happen!

That said, everything that happened in this episode was good, but we just needed to add more stuff! Also, how did Dougal know what went down? I cannot figure out how he had all this information? Did he tell us and I totally zoned out?

Also, yes, as muc...

One Tree Hill 4X3: Good News for People Who Love Bad News

Okay, so for someone who doesn't care about Peyton's long lost family, I sure have a lot of questions about this Derek guy. And as much as I don't really care, this is definitely a way to make it interesting (and of course, have Lucas show up on his horse to save Peyton from him). I don't even know if he's actually her brother.

I'm going to fucking kill Rachel if she continues to go after Nathan. She and Dan deserve to be couple of the year together. Luckily half of Tree Hill seems to ...

Felicity 3X3:

Um, I 100% was wrong about the definition of impotence. I feel like a jack ass. Sigh.

Also, what the hell? Is Julie actually leaving?!? I mean, that would explain the emphasis on Molly the first few episodes, but I'm still super surprised. I'm also surprised about Julie lying about her not being a match. I mean, we all knew something was up, but I had no idea this is where we were going.

Is Noel manipulating Natalie now? Are they gonna get an annulment and then is he just gonna pe...

Friday Night Lights 2X1: Last Days of Summer

I really liked a lot of things about this episode. That said, I'm not entirely sure how Landry and Tyra dumping a guy he killed in a river is going to play out in this show, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I'm just hoping this ends up being more about the relationship between the two of them and not spending the whole season with police trying to solve this murder. I mean, we need something, obviously, but I'm hoping that does not become the whole focus.

Super interested on what's going o...

Shameless 4X4: Strangers on a Train

I didn't even think about Frank not having insurance for this transplant. But I also just kind of assumed he wouldn't get one. And it seems like he's not. At least not right now. Umm, but Sammi still wants to be around him? How is this possible?

So, Mickey thought he was gonna make a difference, and ended up getting all the girls fired. But he has a brilliant new plan to use Stan's old apartment for the girls to have sex in. This has the makings of a disaster. But really, on this show, ...

Better Call Saul 5X3: The Guy for This

Jimmy totally should have asked for more money. But also, he really isn't in a position to say 'no' so maybe it doesn't matter? That said, it looks like he'll be working for Lalo for the long haul.

Nice to see the DEA back on the case. Also, Hank is exactly the same. He slipped right back into that character.

Domingo is free, thanks for Jimmy. And thanks to Nacho, Gus knows all about Lalo's plans, so he's able to keep the drops going so Lalo doesn't get suspicious. But I feel lik...

The 100 1X8: Day Trip

Diana is totally gonna try to take out the Chancellor, isn't she? Maybe not by her own hand, but he's definitely headed in that direction. Also, what's up with her wanting the 100 dead?

These hallucination berries need to be locked up with the guns. I'm not feeling good about either of them being at camp. But I guess it did what Octavia needed them to do. The grounder is free, which is what she wanted.

And Dax is dead. Which, whatever, I barely knew who he was, but it really high...

9-1-1 1X7: Full Moon (Creepy AF)

Hen?!? What are you doing?!? You cannot wake up tomorrow and blame this on the full moon. Honey, you are married!

I was so pissed when that detective decided not to listen to Abby in the first place. Like, dude, just because you don't wanna do your job, does not mean the truth is not out there. On the plus side, Athena coming in clutch! I love that she's taking a liking to Abby. And I love that I've taken a liking to her. She was my least favorite character when this show started. She d...

Arrow 1X10: Burned

I didn't love the firefighter storyline all that much. But I think that's only because it took away from the overarching story of the season, which I am so invested in right now.

Is it just me, or does it seem like this entire thing was orchestrated to make sure that Moira is in charge of Queen Industries? Or am I just suspicious of her in general so I'm finding everything she does suspicious?

Super curious about the last flashback where Oliver kills Mask Guy and ends up with all...

Outlander 1X13: The Watch

No! We've already learning multiple times that nothing good happens when Jamie and Claire are apart! Usually it's Jamie riding in on the while horse, but this time, I guess it's got to be Claire.

Thankfully, the watch leader guy disliked Horrocks as much as Jamie did, because he didn't care at all that he (well, Ian, but Jamie is covering for him) killed him. Phew. That could have went so much worse.

But then, we got so much worse. Even in death, Horrocks is still screwing them ov...
