The Mindy Project 1X11: Bunk Bed

Does it bother anyone else that Mindy used to be fairly good friends with Riley? Remember when she called her up on Halloween, and they had that super awesome chat? 

Also, where the hell was Mindy supposed to keep a bunk bed for the rest of her life? This was a terrible plan.

Peaky Blinders 4X3: Blackbird

Um, is Polly serious? Or is this, once again, Tommy pulling the strings. I honestly, can't tell.

And what the hell is up with Linda? Who is she? Arthur's got his problems, but this lady is causing him even more. Poor Arthur.

The Mick 1X10: The Baggage

Apparently everyone in this show is suddenly in love with Mickey. How do we feel about Dante? Jury's still out on him. He's got some potential red flags if you ask me. But you didn't.

Glow 3X7: Hollywood Homecoming

Oh, shit. Is Sam gonna make it to the end of the season?

Also, I love the fact that Birdie actually seems to really like Rhonda. What does Bash's newly discovered money mean for GLOW?

If I have to listen to Randy shrieking again next episode, even for a minute, I'm gonna lose my mind.

Peaky Blinders 4X2: Heathens

Before I watched this episode I would have sworn that if either John or Michael lived, I was calling bullshit. But Michael lived and I totally believe how that happened. However, John is still dead.

So much shit happened this episode. Polly is handling it way better than anticipated (but that can be attributed to Michael being okay, I guess).

It seems like Bonnie is part of the gang now? I have reservations. I don't think the only motive for Gold is his son making it as a boxer...

The Mindy Project 1X10: Mindy's Brother

This wasn't my favorite episode, but there really wasn't anything wrong with it. I just didn't really have any kind of stake in Mindy's brother. And while the side plot, the rent going up is important, it just wasn't that exciting. 

All that said, I did not dislike this episode.

Glow 3X6: Outward Bound

So many revelations in this episode! It was a good one.

Tammé has found a potential new position after her back pain forced her out. Debbie is planning to go home, Jenny and Melrose appear to have made up, Arthie and Yolanda are having issues. But the biggest revelation of all was Sheila. God, I love Sheila.

I'm curious how these will continue into future episodes.

The Summer I Turned Pretty 2X8: Love Triangle

And we're at the end of the current journey. I know we've got a S3 coming, but who knows how long it could be before we get it.

This episode was lovely. I enjoyed it so much. I was trying to delay today because I didn't want it to end, but honestly, I'm really happy with what we got.

I still have no idea how things could possibly ever be right with the three of them together again, and I don't think Belly made her choice for the right reason, and Conrad is still being Conrad. Howe...

Felicity 1X10: Finally

Somehow this episode gave me cozy, comfort and nostalgia feels all at once. It was an enjoyable episode, but I'm sure I buy Felicity and Noel's decision at the end. 

All that said, this show is totally my jam. I cannot believe it took me 20 years to finally (pun intended) watch this show.

The Mindy Project 1X9: Josh and Mindy's Christmas Party

So Mindy and Josh, the super liar, throw a Christmas party. Danny tries to save the day, but unhinged Mindy will not be denied. This episode was super fun.

Glow 3X5: Freaky Tuesday

Honestly, I didn't care for this episode at first. But as it went on, I got more and more invested. By the end, I was a pretty big fan.

Peaky Blinders 4X1: The Noose

I'm not sure I believe any of this is real. There's no way that actually happened. Right?

If this is the first episode of the season, I cannot imagine what's in store for the rest of it. I'm really afraid that Polly is going to go completely off the deep end after this.

The Mick 1X9: The Mess

Does Alba still work for this family? Is she just a friend? An employee? What is going on here? Should we start a running total on how many times Jimmy hits Mickey with the car?

The Mindy Project 1X8: Two to One

Ha. I really enjoyed this episode for its subject matter. I'm super interested in holistic vs traditional medicine. Also, Danny and Jeremy are total jerks in this episode. I still greatly enjoyed it, though.

This was exactly what I wanted. Found family for Thanksgiving.

Lots of Ruth drama this episode. From issues with Russell, to being jealous of Sheila and Sam.

Peaky Blinders 3X6

This finale was insane. In the best possible way. I loved everything about it. This show continues to be a 10/10. So much happened that I didn't expect, and it was all done so well.

Book to Screen Reactions

So, the outcome of the poll for what to replace The Summer I Turned Pretty with is tied with 50% for Panic and 50% for various/random YA movies.

In light of this, I've decided that since Panic is only one season of 13 episodes, I can fairly easily do both. I'm planning to start by doing 3 movies, then the entire Panic series, then another 3 (at least) movies. At that point, we can reassess.

I'm planning on Red White and Royal Blue to be the first movie, but I'm totally open to s...

Drunk Re-watch Dawson's Creek: Pilot

Someone mentioned that The Summer I Turned Pretty was set in the same place as Dawson's Creek. This led me to wonder if iDawson's Creek held up. I thoroughly enjoyed the pilot. I may need to invest in an entire rewatch.

This was not the intended show for this drunk re-watch. But it's what I thought would make me happy in the moment. And it did.

The Summer I Turned Pretty 2X7: Love Affair

OMG. The amount I cried in this episode. It made me incredibly emotional. I don't know how I feel about Belly 'picking' a brother. Even though I've been begging her all season to do so. That said, it was fun and I really enjoyed the friendship vibes. And thank you Laurel for fixing everything (maybe too easily) as we all knew you would.

The Mick 1X8: The Snitch

I'm fairly embarrassed to find myself sort of agreeing with Mickey. Also, Alba is definitely starting let Mickey rub off on her. I can't imagine where her character ends up by the end of the show.

Peaky Blinders 3X5

I'm so torn about how I feel about Polly's response to Michael's wishes. I also, think I almost understand exactly what the plan is with the heist. And as usual, this episode was incredible.

The Mindy Project 1X7: Teen Patient

Had the tiniest hiccup when recording. Hopefully it's barely noticeable. That said, I'm glad it was on this episode. It wasn't one of my favorites. Still plenty enjoyable though.

Glow 3X3: Desert Pollen

We're nearing the end and this show is desperately trying to make me like Debbie. I'm resistant though! Also, we got no closure from the Sam and Ruth conversation. This episode was mostly about Ruth and Debbie and Cherry and Keith. I have no problem with those story lines per se, but we're running out of time and I'm more interested in other stuff!

We finally found out how they are still paying for things! This has been my biggest complaint up until now. Where is all the money coming from?!?

Book to Screen Reactions

So, The Summer I Turned Pretty has only two more episodes in season 2. So we'll need to replace it with something until season 3 starts, which could be well over a year. 

What do you guys want to see? 

These are my thoughts, but I am totally open to suggestions. Feel free to leave a comment if what you want isn't listed. 

I'm only planning on doing shows I haven't seen whose books I've read. (Although I may have read the book so long ago, I've forgotten everyt...

If you enjoying yelling and ranting, this is the episode for you. I don't even know how to talk about my feelings for this episode. 

Julie (and all humans) deserve better.

The Summer I Turned Pretty 2X6: Love Fest

This seemed much less of a love fest and more of a hot mess. Everything is going wrong right now. Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad are all mad at each other. Belly continues to not see her part in all of this. Steven and Milo had a giant fight in the middle of the living room.

The only unproblematic pairing right now is Cameron and Skye. Who saw that coming?

At least we've potentially got Laurel on the horizon. Finally.
