One Tree Hill 1X20: What Is and What Should Never Be

I'm feeling so good about Nathan right now. I also cannot believe I just typed that sentence.

What is Deb doing?!? I mean if sleeping with Dan gets him to give her a divorce, I'm totally cool with it. But I'm not sure it's what she wants any more. Sigh.

It hurt my soul when Peyton tells Lucas he and Nathan seem to be switching places.

The Americans 1X9: Safe House

I am so concerned for both Phillip and Elizabeth's safety right now. Being separated does not seem like a good idea for what they do for a living. I'm super concerned that one of them is going to end up dead, maimed, or severely injured because of this.

That said, they did seem to work well enough together with Amador, but I don't know how long that can continue for. 

Also, it seems like the kids mostly blame Elizabeth for this, when really it was Phillip's idea from the star...

Shameless 1X11: Daddyz Girl

So much happened is this episode!

Karen going off the deep end, Steve potentially leaving, Fiona getting new friends(?), Tony with blackmail, Frank trying to get a job. (Yes, you read that correctly).

So much fun though!

Better Call Saul 2X3: Amarillo

I started this episode thinking Jimmy was super smart. Then I find out what he did is not allowed. Why?

Also, I have no idea why Cliff would be mad about this commercial.

But honestly, I think the Mike storyline is most intriguing right now.

One Tree Hill 1X19: How Can You Be Sure?

Karen, no! I sort of understand your reasoning, but this show made me want you to be with Keith. What are they doing to me?

Fucking Dan continues to be a trash pile. I will not be swayed by him saving pictures.

I don't really need all this Nicki drama. We've got plenty already with our main characters.

And Brooke lied. Well, she sort of alluded to a lie. But it was a really shitty lie to allude to.

The Americans 1X8: Mutually Assured Destruction

Holy shit. You guys, this show.

Even when I don't exactly know what's going on, it's still better than most of the shows I've seen. It's very Peaky Blinders-esque in that way.

Better Call Saul 2X2: Cobbler

Are we finally starting to see a progression from Jimmy to Saul?

Also, I'm so totally loving everything Mike does in this show.

Shameless 1X10: Nana Gallagher Had an Affair

Dude. This episode was insane. I mean, they all are, but Monica and Bob bring their own brand of crazy. I hope we don't get a lot of visits from them in the future.

I'm going to assume that this changes nothing about Ian, right? (Assuming this wasn't an elaborate ruse).

Felicity 2X11: Help For the Lovelorn

I was maximum confused this entire episode. But, if we ignore all that, this was 100% fun. 

Gimme more Meghan hijinks in the future! BUT, am I supposed to assume this was what was in her box all along?!? I'm not sure I buy it.

One Tree Hill 1X18: To Wish Impossible Things

How is this legal?!?

Also, come on Lucas, you should have put two and two together after you kissed Haley.

And there is no way Brooke is actually pregnant, right?  And if she is, it's not Lucas's, right? And if it is, she's not gonna keep it, right?

The Americans 1X7: Duty and Honor

What a hard way to live. I have no idea how Elizabeth and Phillip (and all spies, really) manage to live this kind of double life. 

I hope they are well paid.

The Americans 1X6: Trust Me

I think this was the best episode so far. 

And for as much as I've been ragging on Stan, maybe it's time I gave him a break. Maybe at the end of the day, he's really got Nina's best interests at heart.

Also, how will Elizabeth and Phillip ever trust each other again? Lots of high-stakes stuff happening in this episode!

Heartstopper 1X4: Secret

Ugh. I'm so torn. I KNOW this is different, but I'm still scared that Charlie is gonna get hurt. Even though I don't think Nick will hurt him on purpose, it's so easy for feeling to get hurt in a situation like this.

Heartstopper 1X3: Kiss

Wouldn't it be great if Nick ditched all these shitty people he's been hanging out with and joined Charlie's (much more awesome) group of friends?

Shameless 1X9: But at Last Came a Knock

Holy shit. I didn't think this was going to be the kind of show that made me emotional, but here we are.

Fiona deserves so many good things. And Debbie, too. Hell, all those kids deserve a medal for managing to make it through every fucking day.

Better Call Saul 2X1: Switch

Are we trying to use Kim as a Marco substitute?

This episode was a lot of fun, but I'm concerned about where we're going. I'm also super interested to see what ends up having with IT drug man.

Felicity 2X10: Great Expectations

So much happened in this episode! I'm not sure what I'm most concerned about. 

I don't think it's Felicity getting kicked out or her parents separating. I'm much more concerned about Julie's story, and I'm interested in what's happening with the Felicity/Ben relationship right now.

Also, I think it will be frustrating (but interesting) to see Felicity and her dad needing to live in each others' orbit.

The Americans 1X5: COMINT

I'm so concerned for Nina. Also, WTF Stan. How dare he act like he's the good person here?

I was not smart enough to realize what was happening which made the ending of this episode so much fun to watch.

One Tree Hill 1X17: Spirit in the Night

Haley to the rescue!

Again I say, fuck, Dan.

Also, as much as I like Peyton's dad, I do not want him messing up my Karen/Keith ship!

One Tree Hill 1X16: The First Cut is the Deepest

Fuck, Dan. That's my overarching feeling right now.

Also, I don't really have an issue with Lucas' actions here, but I'm concerned for his budding friendship with Jake.

The Americans 1X4: In Control

I completed forgot Reagan was shot (I was only one, I think I can be forgiven). I was convinced for a bit that they made this up for the story line. It's so much better that they didn't.

And we're back to Elizabeth and Phillip being at odds a little bit about following orders. I so cannot imagine living this kind of life. Especially one you chose as a teenager and now are forced to live for all eternity.

Again, this is show is so tense!

One Tree Hill 1X15: Suddenly Everything Has Changed

Ugh. I'm almost mad at Peyton. I don't wanna be, but it's pretty shitty to ignore Brooke who is literally heartbroken because the heartbreak is your fault.

That said, I'm happy Lucas broke up with Brooke. We're paving the way for my ship! But it only lasted about 10 minutes. Sigh.

Also, why the hell would Nathan choose to live with Dan? That's completely insane! You know exactly how this is gonna turn out!

One Tree Hill 1X14: I Shall Believe

Oh no. Karen reacted the way I feared. She's totally gonna forgive Keith though, right? He's done one shitty thing. Dan's done a hundred thousand shitty things and Karen is grateful to him.

Also, holy shit. I cried so much. I had no idea I was going to get so emotional.

Happy Holidays: It's a Wonderful Life

Thanks for the suggestion, Emily!

This was nothing like what I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be an old, cheesy movie. Turns it, it's super relevant and dark. I enjoy this so much!

The Fall of the House of the Usher 1X8: The Raven

This was my least favorite episode. I'm pretty disappointed in how they ended up pulling this all together.

Some parts were cool, like the brick wall that Roderick kept sitting in front of, but others like how fantastical the reason for everything was, fell a little flat.

That said, it was a really fun series to watch and I'm not upset that I gave it several hours of my life. 

One Tree Hill 1X13: Hanging By a Moment

Dan did one good thing. It does not change the way I feel. It apparently does not keep Deb from divorcing him, either. Huzzah!

In less exciting news, poor Lucas is dead. But since this show is a zillion episodes, I can only assume he'll be fine. 

Also, does this mean Karen is gonna hate Keith now? It will break my heart.

The Americans 1X3: Gregory

Holy shit. I didn't want to think that the ending would turn out that way, but here we are.

Is our marriage of convenience turning into something more?

Anti-missile lasers are probably worth a lot, right?

Heartstopper 1X2: Crush

OMG. This is so utterly adorable. I cannot stand it.

Also, yay to more Elle! 

Heartstopper 1X1: Meet

Our newest book to screen series!

I loved these graphic novels. I was hoping the show would be able to capture the coziness and adorableness and so far, it hasn't disappointed!

Happy Holidays: Love Actually

Somehow I've never seen this and knew absolutely nothing about it before I watched it.

I LOVED Sam. Loved, loved, loved him. 

Also, I found myself more enamored with most of the characters than I would have thought.

It was super cute. It took a good bit until I realized why it was a Christmas movie though. I thought it was just a winter movie!
