Friday Night Lights 1X6: El Accidente

Voodoo is a piece of trash. No one was rooting for him, right? 

Also, I really, really wanna say fuck, Reyes. And I'm going to, but there is a part of me that thinks maybe after he gets some therapy he can actually work his way back onto the team and be a decent human being. But right now, fuck him.

I really enjoyed how the coach and Matt had similar moral dilemmas this episode. 

Younger 1X8: Sk8

Was I the only one who was shocked with Anton's wife started screaming at Liza? I 100% did not see that coming. I give Kelsey a lot of credit for coming clean as quickly as she did though. But WTF Anton. How is he just as shitty as Thad?

Okay, there was definitely a moment between Liza and Charles, right? Don't tell Diana!

Heartstopper 2X8: Perfect

Okay, so a little bit of angst. But mostly we got a happy, swoonworthy episode, which is exactly what I needed for the last one.

BUT Elle and Tao are officially dating, Tara and Darcy have all the cards on the table, and Nick and Charlie are (probably) in love!!

I absolutely LOVE the instead of prom party at Nick's.

Heartstopper 2X7: Sorry

Oh, I'm so pleased for Isaac! I was so worried about him. It felt like everyone else was figuring out who they were and poor Isaac thought he was being left out.

Yes, Nick! But why does David insist on being a dick. At least his father feels like he might be able to come around in the future.

OMG. I did not want this ending. Ugh. I feel terrible for poor Darcy.

February 12-16

Happy Friday!

Better Call Saul 3X3: Sunk Costs

I'm not sure I understand where Gus is coming from here. Wouldn't it make sense to WANT Mike to kill Hector? What am I missing?

That said, as usual, Mike is the smartest man on the show. That set up of Hector's drivers was insane.

And of course Chuck's ultimate goal is to get Jimmy disbarred. Of course it is. Fuck, Chuck.

Shameless 2X9: Hurricane Monica

Do we think Karen will even care about this turn of events? I mean, even heartless, crazy people have to care somewhat that their husband is sleeping with their mother, right?

Why is everyone on this show suddenly pregnant?!? Is Sheila next?

I am very anti-Monica. I'm totally Team Fiona on this one, but it does make for good TV.

Younger 1X7: Broke and Panty-less

I'm getting more concerned about all these lies, Liza!

I mean, there is no good solution, but something's gotta give, and soon. Right?

Also, I'm becoming more and more endeared to Diana. I thought she was going to be a one dimensional character, but it turns out she's got feelings and actually cares about people. I'm guessing a lot of her exterior is because she has to be a woman in charge and they aren't allowed to show weakness.

One Tree Hill 2X12: Between Order and Randomness

How is it possible that Nathan is the mature one in this relationship right now? I cannot believe that this show made me like him more than Haley right now. That said, it's some writing that can accomplish that over the course of less than a season.

Also, how is it possible that Brooke is becoming my favorite character? She deserves so much better than Felix.

I'm so anxious about what's going on with Keith and Jules. There's no way this ends well whether they love each other or ...

Shameless 2X8: Parenthood

This episode was crazy. I LOVE Sheila and Peggy in this episode.

I don't know whose side I'm on here, Fiona's or Lip's. I see both points.

How do neither of them realize it's not legal to sell a baby?!?

Better Call Saul 3X2: Witness

Wow. This ending was incredible. I don't wanna spoil myself, but Bob Odenkirk must have won an Emmy or something at some point, right?

It looks like we're starting to get some crossover. Are we finally on the way to Saul? 

Felicity 2X16: Revolutions

It's 25 years later. We shouldn't still be needing to do this shit.

One Tree Hill 2X11: The Heart Brings You Back

I was actually kind of disappointed in this episode. The previous one was so incredible and we don't get a ton of resolution for it. Sigh.

That said, I do not trust Taylor. At all. It seems like she going out of her way to try to get Nathan to hit on her. They're family! Just ewww. Regardless of what happened before Nathan and Haley even knew each other!

So not into Brooke and Felix trying to have an actual relationship. I don't hate him as much as I did before, but I don't like...

Younger 1X6: Shedonism

There is zero chance I'd be able to handle working for someone like Diana. I'm terrible at convincing people to do things. So getting people to agree to stuff they don't wanna do, is so not my forte.

Also, I'm really loving all these little humanizing moments we're getting with Diana.

I'm away from February 9-19, 2024

Hey everyone!

I'm just letting you know that I'm going to visit my mom (!!!!!) next week.

Currently, I'm working on getting everything recorded and scheduled. This means everything I am currently reacting to should come out on time, as normal. That said, I don't plan to respond to comments while I'm away. 

Also, if you're looking to sponsor a show, that will be on hold until I return. Feel free to get in touch, but chances are I won't re...

One Tree Hill 2X10: Don't Take Me for Granted

Holy shit. Holy, fucking, shit. There are no words. My discussion at the end is slightly unhinged.

Also, this has to be a mid series finale, right?

Younger 1X5: Girl Code

After Kelsey's 'you didn't take care of me at the bar' bullshit, I was super afraid we were gonna continue that storyline.

I needn't have been concerned. I actually really, really enjoyed this episode.

Also, I really think Charles is gonna promote Liza and it's gonna cause friction between her and Diana. I'm also afraid Diana is gonna treat her even worse after this lunch meeting.

Um, I'm about Liza's age. There is no way I'm going out and do...

Friday Night Lights 1X5: Git 'Er Done

I could not handle the pressure this coach is under. That said, his reasoning as to why he was playing VooDoo was exactly what I was thinking. He was basically in a no win situation. That said, it all worked out perfectly.

So Lyla and Riggins are a thing now? Is it just sex? It seems like it for her, but him, not so much. How is she able to continuously face Jason in rehab knowing she keeps sleeping with his best friend?

Kicking VooDoo off the team is fine, but how imp...

February 5-9

This is a re-upload due to a typo.

Thanks so much for letting me know, Bianca!

Happy Friday!

Heartstopper 2X6: Truth/Dare

Ugh. Has Spin the Bottle or Truth or Dare ever ended well? I cannot believe people still play it!

I was so nervous for Nick in this episode. First I was upset about his dad, then I was upset that he was being basically forced to come out. That said, I think it ended as well as it could have.

Is anyone else surprised by Isaac's reaction to kissing James? I thought they were into each other. I wonder if Isaac was just overwhelmed.

I'm fairly concerned for Tara and Darcy. I ...

Heartstopper 2X5: Heat

How did everyone notice that hickey immediately?!?

I've commented a few times about Charlie's lack of food intake, but I never realized it was an actual problem. I feel horrible.

This Elle and Tao moment was delightful!

February 5-9

Happy Friday!

Better Call Saul 3X1: Mabel

Oh, this was so much better than the season 2 finale.

My god, Mike is like Tommy Shelby level smart. Seriously.

Chuck definitely wanted Ernesto to hear that, right? I'm not crazy? (I mean, I probably am, but this is not why). I'm dying to know what he's going to do with this recording.

Also, I'm super intrigued by the flashforward at the beginning.

Shameless 2X7: A Bottle of Jean Nate

Now I'm more concerned with getting rid of Jasmine (fingers crossed she's actually, finally gone) than I am Grammy. She's kind of growing on me. But I don't think she's supposed to.

Holy shit, Karen went from 'I don't think she's pregnant at all' to 'Dana was totally wrong.' But I'm kind of glad she finally got rid of Jody. Not sure how I feel about her and Lip's 'relationship' though.

Also, I do not know if I feel good about Kevin and Veronica deciding to ha...

Younger 1X4: The Exes

I'm not pleased with Kelsey. I was shocked when she immediately blamed Liza. How in the world is that Liza's fault? Also, she's getting a taste of what it's like to be friends with someone who's just barely old enough to drink. She already has a daughter, she doesn't need another one!

That said, are she and the author going to become a thing?!? I mean he's married, but it would get her the hell away from Thad, which I'm a big fan of.

Ha. She and Josh broke th...

One Tree Hill 2X9: The Trick is to Keep Breathing

So much happened this episode. And it was all crazy- in the best possible way!

Not that Haley is blame free here, but Chris is a fucking asshole. (And so is Dan, but I'm sure you guys are tired of me complaining about him). That said, Nathan keeps trying to do what he thinks is the right thing for Haley, but he's not listening to what she actually wants. It's sad, but  I think they just need to work on their communication. 

I've said it before, but ...

Shameless 2X6: Can I Have a Mother

Holy shit. So much happened in this episode.

I'm hoping Grammy doesn't stay around too long, but it looks like she might be here for the foreseeable future. Sigh.

Well, Sheila finally kicked out Frank. He could have had a good thing going if he wasn't so Frank about everything. Also, what the hell is up with Sheila being thrilled by her 16-year-old daughter being married and pregnant? Am I missing something? Is this South Side culture?

I guess Ethel being with Malik is bette...

Better Call Saul 2X10: Klick

Does it make me an asshole that I want Jimmy to stop helping Chuck? I mean, I don't think Chuck deserves to die or anything, but I'm tired of Jimmy lighting himself on fire for him only to be attacked. True, Jimmy is no saint, but he doesn't deserve crucifixion either. Do we think Chuck is actually gonna use that recording against him?

I really need to know who set off Mike's horn. Other than the guy who sold him the gun, I cannot think of who it might be.

Felicity 2X15: Things Change

I really like what Noel ended up deciding here. It's the best I think he could do, given the situation. And I'm really glad that Ruby accepted it without question. Plus, this leads us back to a Ben/Noel/Felicity triangle. 

Am I the only one who thinks it's so not a big deal that Felicity's father is taking medication? I'm not sure why Felicity is so taken aback by it. Is it because it was 25 years ago?

One Tree Hill 2X8: Truth, Bitter Truth

Are we suspicious of Jules? I kind of am. Maybe it's because I just want good things for Keith, but she is acting a little odd, right?

Okay, I don't care if other people are lying, you don't get to use that as an excuse to have sex is someone else's bed, Brooke!

I'm glad things ended up working out for Karen and Andy. And he should never have been grading her stuff in the first place. 

So, Nathan is fine, but Lucas isn't willing to find out. I kind of get his reasoning,...
