Our Flag Means Death 2x6 REACTION; he's the greatest showman.

who would've thought that izzy of all people would be giving the performance of a lifetime. I still don't like him - don't get it twisted - but I was pleasantly surprised that he joined in with the crew without giving them crap and then proceeded to sing and dress up and everything. major slay on that front. I'm scared that Richard is working with Zheng.... I feel like this isn't good for us but I also really love Zheng so fingers crossed on that. I loved seeing Stede go for it and end Ned - ...

Schitt's Creek 6x12 REACTION; Roland makes me instantly cry.

if there's one thing I will do when Roland is serious and defends someone, it's cry. LITERALLY INSTANT WELLING UP. I could smell that they were going to be laughed out of the room from a mile away and it broke my heart, but seeing Roland stand up for Johnny was giving me the same energy from the one finale where Johnny was standing up for Roland and schitt's creek in general. I'm so stoked with how that ended for them though. which brings me to David and Patrick... why oh why David - TALK TO ...

Our Flag Means Death 2x5 REACTION; he's working through things.

okay - I AM FREAKING OUT!! I didn't think that was happening and then it REALLY WAS HAPPENING. I loved seeing ed try to make amends with those he hurt and watching stede and izzy have some bonding time was great. the cursed outfit was sending me but overall I had a great time with this episode. we are growing as a crew which is phenomenal! that ending where ed flipped the 'you wear fine things well' HOW DARE HE DO THAT TO ME. that kind of attack isn't fair 🤣🩶

Schitt's Creek 6x11 REACTION; this is an epic bachelor party.

This was such a great episode! watching everyone show up for the escape room and go through it in their own way was incredible, even if they weren't all enjoying it. they all showed up and participated and that's what matters. Alexis really got the job down for everyone is actually just brilliant. the things she remembers from her past experiences and using them to her advantage in odd circumstances always amazes me. I love that Stevie planned to the best of her ability and we have a meeting ...

Our Flag Means Death 2x4 REACTION; Annie is stirring the pot.

I liked Annie and Mary at first but man oh man were they just toxic and here to start some drama in order to make their lives more interesting...YIKES. I am so happy that we got to really see ed and stede talk things through and begin to make up and BUTTONS IS A BIRD!? sorry - got side tracked. I love that stede persisted in telling ed how he felt even though ed wasn't too keen on hearing him out at first, but making him listen was so important to get Stede's feelings across. I love that the ...

March Book Poll 🍀

It's that time again! What are we reading for the month of March!? 

Schitt's Creek 6x10 REACTION; YES MOIRA!

moira killed it this episode! I mentioned at the end of the episode that Moira is the character I've probably struggled the most with due to her being soooo stuck on living how they used to and not wanting to give that up and at times I felt can be quite selfish (locking herself in a closet when David and Patrick were trying to announce their engagement) but I was so proud of her in this episode and the way she thanked Alexis! ugh, I just love them all soooo much! also, Stevie is just a girlb...

Our Flag Means Death 2x3 REACTION; are we reunited!?

I got so excited when they announced that we were going to go aboard the Revenge but also nervous for what this meant for Ed and Stede. I was dying at ed roleplaying owning his own inn, he was killing it until he started getting some attitude 🤣 I love how they showed us what was going on inside of Ed's head while he was knocked out and between life and death, so so cool. STEDE AS A MERMAN. STOP. I was losing it. he looked so funny 🤣 I'm so curious to see what happens now that ed is awak...

Schitt's Creek 6x9 REACTION; uhm... lexi?

I couldn't believe my ears when he called her lexi LMAO why is David so funny and quick - call me davie, get out of here 🤣 I was SHOCKED when they opened the door and the actual Artie appeared! I thought for sure it was going to be throwing us off and that wasn't actually the guy Alexis was going on a date with, but alas, it was! at least he seemed nice? but I did get sad for Alexis during that conversation with Johnny. Jocelyn is also hilarious, she was killing the job and was like... nah...

Our Flag Means Death 2x2 REACTION; HE'S BACKKKK!

the way my mind completely made the Windows error sound when I first saw him while I made sense of what my eyes were seeing. I love him so much and I'm going to cry about this for awhile! we got to fully see Jim doing some insane medical treatment which we love. also, the KISSING!? whatttttt! I loved getting to see stede get handed his ass when needed to make him think about others a little, but also ed is going full blown maniac 🤣

Schitt's Creek 6x8 REACTION; the painnnn........

this episode hurt me so bad - I'm sorry - THAT FLASHBACK WAS CRUEL. I couldn't bear it 🤣 I'm not going to discuss that further bc it will actually hurt me - but I'm so happy that we had the entire Patrick getting spray tan to lighten the mood in this episode. we needed that so badly as well as both couples wanting a weekend away in the new large suite. luckily, that all worked out how it should and Patrick and David's pictures seem to have ended up turning out perfectly fine!! here's to ha...

Our Flag Means Death 2x1 REACTION; this is brutal.

yikes. I enjoyed this episode but I also was not expecting us to start off already off of the little island - I just assumed we would pick up immediately from where we left off. Blackbeard is out of control and I still highly dislike izzy. that is in full swing 🤣 MY LUCIUS IS STILL UNACCOUNTED FOR AND IM UNWELL. I miss him. I am so concerned on who this woman is, being the queen of the sea and all, fingers crossed we didn't just get into a horrible situation.... 🩶

Schitt's Creek 6x7 REACTION; a cult!?

the way I immediately said - 'is this a cult?' when everyone walked out looking like that. bless Twyla's heart as well, just knowing the whole time exactly what was going on. she's too good for any world. I really enjoyed seeing David and Moira having this bonding moment and Johnny and Patricks conversation was MELTING me and then seeing them get excited over the game together!? stop. too bad about the wine but overall, I think that was for the best and I was living for them all picking on Al...

Our Flag Means Death 1x10 REACTION; I'm broken inside.

all I feel is pain. this was such a great episode overall, however, I am actually so stressed. we had some major wins here - Jim and oluwande, steed expressing and realizing his love for Ed, and that face from Lucius that was SENDING ME. but then -  we went downhill SO FAST guys. so fast. my little heart is broken. all I'm saying is - I DIDNT SEE A BODY AND IM STICKING WITH THAT. I have so many questions, like, how are we all going to get off this fraction of a square and back to our boa...

Schitt's Creek 6x6 REACTION; patrick is....

Patrick is so hot, I'm sorry. but there's something about him and you can't argue with me on that. this episode had me giggling and kicking my feet watching the interactions between David, Patrick, and Jake. it was so comical to me - UGH I love them. I'm fearing for ted and Alexis as well. I love them so much but I can't help but feel like they may be going down separate paths and I'm shaking thinking about that. as for bob.... poor guy is GOING THROUGH IT. 🩶

Our Flag Means Death 1x9 REACTION; I'm sorry... WHAT!?

idk what was up with me while watching this episode but I was GOING THROUGH IT. I guess we all were. we had such a shaky start, to an unbelievable HIGH, to a faceplant.... ouch. I'm so scared for the finale of season 1. I have no clue what to expect, I'm getting the feeling it may not be a happy end to the season but I am hoping it brings it all around and I HATE IZZY. I don't want redemption, get it away from me. boooooooo izzy booooooooo. where's Jim....? 🩶

Schitt's Creek 6x5 REACTION; Patrick is making moves!!

okay he may have been coming off of his wisdom teeth procedure but he still was making my heart DROP. David was stressed to say the least but luckily Patrick stays being an absolute king and was able to let David know that it's David he wants and that's it. ugh, I love them to pieces. Alexis pulled that premiere off on such short notice, even if there was a slight problem with the crows and I'm so happy Moira got that moment to really feel like she was back in her old life, even for just a mo...

Our Flag Means Death 1x8 REACTION; uh oh... we're in trouble.

honestly, how are we going to get out of this!? the only plausible thing I can think of is maybe Jim is going to save the day!? wouldn't it be wonderful if Spanish Jackie told Jim everything now that they've oddly, kind of made up!? I would actually love that! anyway- calico jack is actually the worst. rip carl and long live Livvie. I am so so proud of stede for not only standing up for himself but also for his crew, even if ended up hurting him for a moment there and Lucius once again comes ...

Schitt's Creek 6x4 REACTION; Roland is blowing our cover!

what a Roland thing to do tbh... not only did he spill that they were in the room, but he literally did it twice... BACK TO BACK. I also love that Jocelyn was like... it looks bad Moira, without even saying it. we all were feeling it. and Ronnie pointing out that the trailer literally shows how the movie ends!? I'm sorry, that's so funny. my heart was bursting with the growth that Alexis is showing and then David asking her to do that!? ugh, warms me up, I love these characters so so much and...

Our Flag Means Death 1x7 REACTION; more Jim backstory!?

I am always here to learn more about a character's past and get a better look and understanding into who they are so I am SO THRILLED that we got more of Jim! I wasn't sure if we were only going to get what was shown in the one episode, but I'm so glad we got to know more about what motivated them to end Jackie's one husband and it's actually understandable lmao. we also almost had A KISS!? I'm so sorry what!? also - that whole restaurant bit was SENDING me and not Lucius being like.... 👀 ...

Schitt's Creek 6x3 REACTION; go Stevie!!!

I am so so proud of Stevie! whether she decides to pursue this or stay at the motel, she is doing great things and I'm like a proud mom 🤣 also, I love that David got booted like right away, that's actually incredible. my man was so confident too, AND IN PATRICKS CLOTHES. also, Alexis got a turtle, isn't she only delayed like a month!? why did we do that? I'm happy that the whole second motel thing seems to be working out for now, although I'm a little concerned and hope that Roland and Joc...

February Book Club Pick 💕

One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid has won the poll as the book club pick for February!! The live show for this will be Saturday, March 9th, at 7pm EST! Hope to see you there!! 🩶

Our Flag Means Death 1x6 REACTION; what a performance!

I am so sorry but the way everything came together so perfectly on that performance was incredible AND THE SINGING!? just iconic all around. everyone running at the sight of Blackbeard, incredible. LUCIUS AND BLACK PETE ARE MELTING MY WHOLE WORLD. and his poor finger. the fact he cut it off himself!? I could never. I am so happy ed and Stede were able to have such a great discussion about ed's past and how he views doing bad things because of that and deciding to not hurt Stede. WOOHOO FOR BA...

Schitt's Creek 6x2 REACTION; oooooh David....

I was not ever expecting this to happen but all it did was once again show that Patrick is an absolute GEM and everything I want LMAO. anyway, moving on. Moira Moira Moira..... you did David SO DIRTY and then Alexis acting all concerned but NOT TAKING IT DOWN. I'm sorry!? I loved Patrick saying he would wait.... 🤣 not to mention, we have potentially big things coming for Stevie!? I'm so curious to see where she goes from here!! 

Our Flag Means Death 1x5 REACTION; Lucius, my man!

it's no secret that I dislike izzy at this point or that I love Lucius, so getting to see Lucius really put izzy or should I say IGGY in his place like that was giving me so much joy!! also, my man is having a GREAT time so we love to see that 🤣 now onto. Stede and Ed, ugh my heart. the fact that ed was like "I want to meet the fancy folk" had me a little stressed but all in all, Stede was able to take care of them and get it over with. also not the PYRAMID SCHEME. get out of here. I'm not...

Daisy Jones & The Six 1x7 REACTION; tell her Simone!!

I loved getting some more story with Simone at the forefront! up until now she's been more of a secondary character so I was thrilled getting this episode where we could really see more of her life and her success! not to mention a beautiful relationship blossom. but daisy, oh daisy, girl. MARRIAGE!? I enjoyed the conversations being had in this episode about creating art and how some people do it for themselves and others do it to connect and hearing Simone call daisy out and let her know th...
