Daisy Jones & The Six 1X5 Track 5: Fire

Hmmm. The clashing seemed to get resolved much too quickly. But I have a feeling they will be at odds in the future as well.

That said, it turns out they write really fucking great songs together.

I'm annoyed at Karen as well. She doesn't really seem to want Graham, but she doesn't want anyone else to have him either. 

Also, I forgot to turn on my external mic. Oops. You can hear everything just fine, but it annoyed me so I thought I'd mention it. Lol.

One Tree Hill 2X3: Near Wild Heaven

Ugh. How annoying was Tim in this episode. If people want to change, let them change! It's not up to you to decide how you 'think' they should be acting.

I love that Nathan and Lucas are starting to have an actual relationship. All we needed to do was bond over what an asshat Dan is.

How beautiful and lovely was that last scene with Nathan and Haley, my god.

Also, I'm loving what I think is happening with Brooke here. It's going to be so interesting to watch her if it turns ...

Shameless 2X2: Summer Loving

There are too many people in this house. No wonder Frank is putting in so much effort to never be there. That said, he's got a good thing going with Sheila right now. Maybe he should just try to work on that instead of trying to con Dottie into...whatever he's doing.

I'm actually surprised at how good Veronica is at this job. You'd think she'd be a little more sarcastic and sharp with the elderly, but she's really good with them!

Also, apparently when I updated my MacBook, I now g...

Better Call Saul 2X6: Bali Ha'i

This was another Kim-centric episode. Better than the last one, but still not my favorite. That said, I really hope she takes the job with the other firm and leaves HHM behind (assuming she's not gonna get screwed over, of course).

Jimmy does not really seem like he's having a good time at work, either.

I, like Hector, have so many questions about how Mike stays alive. There is zero chance I could live a life like this.

Felicity 2X13: Truth or Consequences

I've had enough with bad shit happening to Julie. She's hasn't had a ton of story lately and when she finally does, she gets this! Again? And as much I am shipping her and Sean right now, I don't see a path for that to actually work.

Eventually Ruby has the leave, right? So we can continue to be teased with a Felicity/Ben/Noel triangle? Is this how we get her off the show?

I wonder what Ben is gonna find on the community service list this time that he didn't find before.

Daisy Jones & The Six 1X4 Track 4: I Saw the Light

I'm not thrilled with how Camilla handled this (I don't think she will be either in the future), but I don't think she's wrong in how she's thinking. And it doesn't seem that Billy thinks so either.

Also, fuck what happened to Simone. I hate the fact that she was like, 'Well, maybe if I just let myself get assaulted, things would be going better for me. Fuck that.

Super interested in what 'we're all a family' means to Daisy as someone whose family kind of sucks.

One Tree Hill 2X2: Truth Doesn't Make a Noise

This is bullshit, Dan. Utter and complete bullshit. It's gonna take another 12 seasons of you acting consistently like this for me to even consider forgiving you.

Again, Haley is not pregnant. On the plus side, at least they know if they were to get pregnant (please don't do this you two) they'd have some support.

Does this mean we won't get to see much more of Haley's parents? I hope not. I was just getting to know (and like!) them.

And Deb continues to get worse. Maybe she...

The Americans 1X13: The Colonel

I'm not sure where we go from here. But I promise this isn't being abandoned. It's too good to ignore. That you so much Melissa for getting me to watch this!

I guess Claudia was right? But I still have no idea whether or not she's trustworthy. Is she really gone? Are you getting a new handler next season?

How are Phillip and Elizabeth going to get back together now that he's married?!? And his 'wife' actually really loves him.

And is Paige gonna actually find something out?...

Heartstopper 1X8: Boyfriend

WE HAVE ALL THE SWOON.

This was just a big giant gush-fest. And it was exactly what I wanted.

Also, I was right about Nick mom's. She didn't care what gender he brought home. She just used 'girl' as a catchall, I think.

Heartstopper 1X7: Bully

This was not swoonworthy at all. It was super angsty and made me livid. 

That said, Charlie and Nick are still adorable.

The Americans 1X12: The Oath

What the hell does this mean for Phillip and Elizabeth's relationship going forward?!?

A 30s-40s couple could be pretty much anyone, right? Doesn't stop me from being anxious that Stan lives right next door.

Also, Nina FTW. This is the most interesting thing that happened this episode, I think. And it was the very last scene. And a ton of awesome stuff happened this episode, so that's saying something.

Daisy Jones & The Six Track 3: Someone Saved My Life Tonight

We finally got Billy and Daisy together! I feel like I've been waiting forever! And it was so good.

I love this Daisy. She's so self assured and confident.

Poor Simone. I hope good things happen for her.

Friday Night Lights 1X2: Eyes Wide Open

I really hope this doesn't mean that Jason's character is out of the show. I quite like him and think there a ton of stories to tell with him.

Also, I'm not happy they cut off my Friday night! I am very invested in this!

One Tree Hill 2X1: The Desperate Kingdom of Love

Okay, so this was a planned, rational, thought-out marriage. And we get it: Haley is not pregnant. Lol. But I LOVE that her parents respected her enough to really give it the thought it deserved. 

I hate how Deb is treating her, but I can sort of see her side. That said, she doesn't need to be a nasty bitch about it (especially when I assume a lot of this is her feeling guilty about almost letting Dan die- which she totally should not feel guilty about).

So curious to see how...

Better Call Saul 2X5: Rebecca

I don't think this was my favorite episode. It was a lot of Kim stuff, which was kind of boring if I'm being honest.

And what was going on with Chuck's wife? Did he leave her because she liked Jimmy?

That said, I think we got stuff that moves the story forward, so I'll take it.

Also, I'm super curious what Mike is gonna do now. What's the best way to get out of this?

Shameless 2X1: Summertime

Is this the worst thing Frank has ever done? Surely. But I love how it brought all the kids together to get Liam back.

At least all that pot didn't go to waste. As a mostly non smoker, I was very concerned about that. Lol.

One Tree Hill 1X22: The Games That Play Us

Um, the most important thing: FUCK DAN. Also, please fucking die, Dan.

And Haley and Nathan are married?!? Married?!? 

How has it only been one season of this show? So much has happened!

Daisy Jones & The Six 1X2: Track 2 I'll Take You There

This episode was so much better than the first one (which is saying something, because the first episode was good)!

I'm loving the way they are portraying this story, but I'm getting anxious waiting for Daisy to meet the band!

The Americans 1X11: Covert War

I'm very concerned for Elizabeth going forward. I do not believe that she has any idea how to act or behave when she is experiencing actual emotions. 

She has never been ruled by her heart or passion before. This is a terrible time for her to be tested on it too.

Shameless 1X12: Father Frank, Full of Grace

Um, I didn't realize until I finished recording this that it was the final episode in season 1. I'm guessing that's why so much crazy shit happened in this episode. 

And holy shit, was it crazy. And great. I have a zillion questions about what will happen next season.

Better Call Saul 2X4: Gloves Off

The Mike stuff in this episode was so good!

I don't have anything bad to say about the Jimmy stuff (other than Chuck and Cliff being assholes), but the Mike storyline is so much better right now.

That said, does Jimmy even really want to be a lawyer? I honestly can't tell.

Felicity 2X12: The Slump

This was not my favorite episode. I missed all the fun characters. I suppose we needed some of this to move forward, but I'm not really into Felicity's parents.

I'm more interested in Felicity's future and what's going on with Noel and Ruby.

Daisy Jones & The Six Track 1: Come and Get It

Thank you to the lovely Emily who sponsored this season of Daisy Jones & The Six!

I'm going to make a promise to TRY not to spend every episode singing along, but the soundtrack for this show is SO GOOD!

Also, I'm really looking forward to Daisy and Billy being in the same space together. Especially after her, 'I'm not a muse,' interaction. I can see Billy treating her as on as well.

One Tree Hill 1X21: The Leaving Song

I'm mad at so many people after this episode. But, can you guess who I'm mad at most? If you guessed Dan, you win! (But let's be honest, he could have not even been in this episode and he would have won).

Also, I'm pissed at Lucas. I know he's a teenager,  and I need to cut him some more slack because of it, but come on! I guess it's good that Karen is letting him make his own mistakes, but this is definitely a mistake, right?

The Americans 1X10: Only You

Ugh. This episode was so good. But to be honest, they are ALL so good.

I think I agree with Gregory's decision here. Even if you believe that Claudia will set you up well in Moscow (which I don't), what a hard way to live. It's not like he's a young kid. Plus, what better way to work for the cause than to protect those around you and take out FBI/cops at the same time.

Drunk Re-watches: $15/month Book Stack

Hey. I just sort of realized that I haven't been seeing what you guys want to see for drunk re-watches. I've just been picking what I like. Oops.

I'm planning to do two episodes of TV on Friday, January 12. One will get posted on Saturday, January 13, and the other Saturday, January 20.

Choose two. Also, feel free to leave episode suggestions in the comments.

This was so not what I thought I was getting. It was so much better!

Heartstopper 1X6: Girls

Ahhh! It's happening! The swoonworthiness continues! 

I feel bad for Tara, though. This seems to be much easier for Darcy. (But I'm still annoyed at her after that milkshake date bullshit).

Also, I totally get what Elle is saying. If Tao doesn't feel the same way, it's totally gonna mess up this relationship I've had forever.

Heartstopper 1X5: Friend

OMG. This show is just adorable and *swoonworthy*. I don't know how much more poor heart can take. 

That said, I'm concerned about Tao's feelings for Nick going forward. I know it's coming from a place of love, but I don't want him to ruin this Charlie!
