Better Call Saul 4X8: Coushatta

Dude. This was brilliant. And I'm shocked that Kim not only went along with it, but helped plan it. And, wants to do it again?!?

Hmmm. I wondering if there is more to the head German than I originally thought. I think what he did was an honest mistake, but this show is so complex that I feel like you can never tell.

So Nacho is now the Hector, and the other guy is Nacho. Got it. But he's stashing new IDs and money to eventually get him and his dad out. This is going to get complic...

Friday Night Lights 1X18: Extended Families

This was probably my least favorite episode so far and I think most of it is down to that kid next door playing a bigger role than a kid has a right to on this show. Lol. I'm so not about 'cute' kids. I'm hoping we don't see a ton of him, but it looks like we might be setting up his mom for a love interest to Tim, so that might be wishful thinking. Sigh.

Buddy also drove me crazy in this episode. He doesn't get to invite himself to stay at the house and then dictate who Eric gets to eat...

First/Last The Good Place

This is so last minute as I'm filming this tomorrow, but I'll take whatever feedback I can get. (Also, yes, I'm reading all your comments and will respond to a bunch of them, but I'm filming so much right now that time is getting away from me. (Somehow, I'm filming 23 episodes of TV a week. How did this happen? Eek!)

I'm doing a First/Last for The Good Place. I was planning to do the pilot and the finale, but would it be more entertaining to do a first/last for every season? It would be...

Stranger Things 1X1: Chapter One: The Vanishing of Will Byers

I did not realize this was a sci-fi show before I started. I thought it was more of a coming-of-age story. Oops. To add to this, I kind of also want to play Dungeons & Dragons for 10 hours.

While I was watching, I thought the thing that attacked the scientist in the beginning, and Will was the same thing. But now I'm not sure. The scientist seemed actually attacked, and Will just sort of vanished. I have a feeling I'm going to be changing my mind on what I think is happening a lot ...

Arrow 1X2: Honor Thy Father

I said it last episode, and I'm saying it again, this show is so much fun! I have a feeling I'll be saying it a lot in the future as well. Lol.

Still can't decide how to feel about Laurel. I definitely like her character more, but I think the actress is playing her a little too hard or jaded, maybe.

It took 2 episodes but I think I'm in love with Oliver. This guy is so charismatic and charming. I can't help it.

Super curious about what mom knows. She's definitely got some s...

Outlander 1X5: Rent

I was so confused and frustrated for a lot of this episode. But I think that really worked with the storytelling.

Why was that British soldier at a place that gives rent to the MacKenzie's? I'm sure I just don't understand history. Lol.

If I were Claire I'd be so exasperated trying to convince people that I was trying to help them when they thought I was trying to get them killed. And there is literally zero way for her to explain it.

Also, I love that they started to sort ...

One Tree Hill 3X16: With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept

I talked for half an hour when this episode was over. I don't even know what to write here.

Shameless 3X10: Civil Wrongs

How are either of these organizations willing to pay Frank to be their spokesperson? Have they met him? After one day of talking to him, they both should have fired him.

Jody gets Karen out of her coma by going down on her? Add another inappropriate sex scene in the column for this show. And also Jody and Sheila break up (I think). This shows as a crazy amount of weird as hell relationship dynamics.

Carol is pregnant. So, fingers crossed we can start to taper off that inappropriat...

Better Call Saul 4X7: Something Stupid

I don't know anything about film making, but this was so beautifully shot and scored, I'm pretty sure we could have had basically this entire episode without dialog.

It certainly seems like there is a ticking clock on this relationship. They are growing further apart as time goes on. And neither seem to want to acknowledge it.

At least Gus was expecting this job to take longer than quoted because it definitely seems like it is. And Mike is growing frustrated. But he enjoys hanging...

Friday Night Lights 1X17: I Think We Should Have Sex

I was so annoyed at Tami in this episode. I mean, I've never gotten the sex talk, but if I got this one, I so would not have helped. But I do agree with what she said later; they raised a child who can make an intelligent decision.

I'm really starting to like Tyra more and more. She used to really annoy me, but I'm finding her infinitely more tolerable. She really goes to bat for the people she loves and cares about, even if she doesn't always do it the correct way.

Poor Tim. His ...

Felicity 2X23: The Biggest Deal There Is

I love that we actually got to see Javier's wedding. I was afraid we would only get to hear about it. It was lovely.

Slightly disappointed in the Felicity/Ben drama of it all, but there was so much other drama going on that we needed something somewhat stable. I just can't believe it was Felicity who was the stable one. She's so far removed from our neurotic BFF of just a season ago!

What do you do if you're Julie? I see her side and Ben's side. But ultimately, I think Julie can ...

Outlander 1X4: The Gathering

Oh, this episode was so good! But they are all so good. It feels like cheating to say that. Lol.

Claire is just so badass all the time. It's so much fun just to watch people on the show react to her. I love her giving what is essentially horseshit to Laoghaire (yes, I had to look up how to spell that- I can hardly pronounce it) as a love potion. And the best part is, she wasn't even doing it to be snarky.

Looks like we've finally made it out of the castle!

My only real com...

One Tree Hill 3X15: Just Watch the Fireworks

I 100% completely forgot about this time capsule. Also, it hurt my heart to hear Nathan say that stuff about Haley, and also, I felt like it was so removed from the Nathan he is right now. It was odd to watch. I don't know how to feel. Lol.

Am I the only one who thinks we're setting up Jimmy (who I also 100% completely forgot about) to come back as some kind of school shooter? It seems pretty apropos of the time.

Oh, Keith asking Lucas if he can adopt him is killing me. You just k...

Arrow 1X1: Pilot

I knew absolutely nothing about this show before I watched it. Holy hell. It was so much fun! I'm not sure what I expected, but I didn't think it would be this much fun. I supposed I expected more drama (which we got plenty of, and I expect more in the future) and less laughter.

None of these actors seems familiar to me, but the guy who plays Arrow is great. I also really like the sister. So far, I'm finding Laurel to be a bit annoying, but I think that's just because you kind of have t...

Drunk Re-watch April 5

So, it's been way too long since I've done a drunk re-watch, and it's about that time.

Feel free to suggest specific episodes if you'd like.

I'm thinking the pilot of One Tree Hill would be fun, but feel free to suggest anything I've seen so far :)

Just a reminder that this is for $15/tier and above. Also, I've made it so you can make multiple choices.

First/Last: Ozark

After doing this, I'm not sure it works so well with a show like this. I think this type of thing is probably more suited to a comedy or a dramedy. I don't know if intense crime drama works here. Lol. But we're learning.

But it was super fun to do, so I'll definitely be doing more. If you really love Ozark, I'm not sure how much you'll like this. It's a lot of me going, 'Who the hell are you?' 'Why are you doing that?' 'What the point here?' How did we get here?' 'Did we accomplish the...

One Tree Hill 3X14: All Tomorrow's Parties

Well, there was no Dan to yell at, so we had to settle for Rachel. It's not nearly as much fun, but I so totally don't like her. But I am glad that Brooke let Lucas explain the situation and believed him. Still, fuck Rachel.

I was surprised but pleased with how Brooke's weekend ended up going. I LOVE that even though The Classic was a total disaster, she still realized the best part was being happy with her friends. It was really lovely.

Loving the family night Nathan and Lucas ha...

True Blood 1X5: Sparks Fly Out

I think this was my favorite episode so far. But how could they end it here?!?

Lafayette was a goddamn delight. I thought they were gonna be dicks because he was a person of color. Didn't even think about the fact that he was gay. Oops.

Not really feeling either Bill or Sam for Suki right now. But I imagine her being with Bill will grow on me. That has to be where this is going, right?

Fuck, Jason! What are you doing? (Too many drugs, Dana, pay attention).

Outlander 1X3: The Way Out

Ugh. Poor Claire. She's too good at her job and gonna end up getting trapped here because of it. (Not that I'm complaining. Lol.)

I already want to off Father Bain. That guy is totally getting on my nerves. I hope Claire continues to piss him off just by being a caring human being.

Ooh, that song was really a bit on the nose. I wonder how often this has happened over the years.

Revised April 1-5

This is what I get for putting up the schedule early.

Shortly after the schedule went up, Arrow got sponsored, so I wanted it to be reflected. This will not affect the release of Stranger Things. It will still be coming on Wednesdays.

Thank you all for being delightful human beings. Have a lovely weekend!

Shameless 3X9: Frank the Plumber

HEADS UP: AROUND 53:45, I SHRIEK IN A WAY THAT MIGHT FUCK UP YOUR EARDRUMS

I think Fiona is quite good at this, and she may have finally found a place where she can thrive. (As long as she doesn't need to follow the rules too closely).

Oh my God. Frank! This man is gonna be the death of everyone around him!

Poor Ian. I feel terribly for him. I'm sure Mickey isn't thrilled about what's going on either, but his way of dealing with it is just to go along with it, get dru...

April 1-5

See what I mean? Things are sad without all the sponsored content. Lol. But I do need to leave room because you guys tend to sponsor a lot! (For which I am incredibly grateful.)

So we've got a bit of a light schedule next week, but we're adding Stranger Things, and I'm way overdue for a drunk re-watch, so look for one of those as well! Most likely on Friday :)

Stranger Things

So, I put Stranger Things as an option for a First/Last segment. However, I did not realize Stranger Things was not over when I suggested it. 100% my fault.

Going along with that, a bunch of sponsored stuff ended this week, so I've got a bit of extra time in my schedule.

I'm putting out the schedule for next week right after this so you can see how woeful it looks. Lol.

The point is, I'll be adding Stranger Things once a week for tiers $10 and up. If things get super sticky,...

Friday Night Lights 1X16: Black Eyes and Broken Hearts

This episode was so good.

I really liked the protest and was actually surprised that the players of color weren't pissed that the white players weren't protesting with them.

Also, my opinion changed a couple of times about a couple of things throughout this episode.

I think Eric and Tami are right in their assumptions about Tyra, but Julie is right the are prejudging her. They just happen to be right about it.

Excited for Jason and his quad rugby tryouts. I'm hoping t...

One Tree Hill 3X13: The Wind That Blew My Heart Away

Oh, I loved this episode. There were so many amazing moments.

It means everything that both Nathan and Haley filled out 'married,' right?

I know I should feel more upset about Ellie, but I just don't. I feel for Peyton, though. Hopefully, that's enough. But I love that after the talk in the rain with Lucas, Brooke invites him into the hug with Peyton. I think it shows a little bit of trust and growth on her part. BUT, I'm afraid it's all gonna come crashing down, and we're gonna ...

Better Call Saul 4X6: Piñata

Ooh, this was good. We can really see things starting to pick up now.

I loved the stuff with Mike and Gus. (And Gus and Hector). And I loved getting to see the Germans settle in. Looking forward to Mike and Kai eventually going head to head.

Who else feels zero bad for HHM?

The ending of this episode was glorious.

One Day 1X14: Episode 14

Why didn't any of you warn me?!?

It serves you right that you all have to watch me crying for, like, 20 minutes without a tissue to be found. Lol.
That said, this episode was beautiful. As was this entire series. I'm heartbroken that it's over. I loved it so much.

Outlander 1X2: Castle Leoch

How in the world is it possible to prove you're not a spy? I don't think there is literally any way to do that.

I'm really going to try not to be completely swoony whenever Claire and Jamie are on screen together, but I can already see it's going to be tough. Lol.

Totally loving Mrs. Fitz.

Also, it's nice that they gave her a job she actually enjoys. I'm sure the fact that they need a doctor doesn't help, but still.

One Tree Hill 3X12: I've Got Dreams to Remember

I really enjoyed this episode. I'm a big fan of the 'what are you gonna do with your life' trope though. Lol.

LOVED Keith mocking Dan (and the police offer) while he's being held for questioning.

I'm so tired of this Rachel/Brooke drama, though. Can we just send Rachel away somewhere? Dan is plenty of drama as it is.

It's so obvious that Haley and Nathan love each other. Can we just put all this bullshit aside and just let them be happy? Just for a little while, even. I'm c...

Better Call Saul 4X5: Quite a Ride

I was so confused when I saw that flash forward in the beginning. Lol.

This episode was so good. We are really starting to see a change now.

I loved Gus immediately turning away the cocky engineer and going with the cautious guy. It seems to fit his personality.

Is Kim gonna give up corporate law? She seems to care more about her public defender-esque cases.
