Shameless 1x8: It's Time to Kill the Turtle
Could you imagine that in order to make everyone's life better, you have to force an alcoholic to give up being sober? I mean, I totally get it, but it really shows how far gone Frank really is.I'm concerned for Kevin and V's relationship. If he wants kids and she doesn't, it can't end well.I don...
Better Call Saul 1X10: Marco
I 100% was blind sided by Chuck. Was I just not paying attention? I mean, I totally buy it, but I so wasn't expecting that. And that means that I'm now on Hamlin's side? How is that possible?This was such a great first season. I'm so looking forward to the next one.
The Americans 1X2: The Clock
Once again, send Melissa some love!This episode was so stressful! I have a feeling they are all going to be like this. I think both Phillip and Elizabeth are making some progress towards each other though!I have zero idea how they could trust the cleaning lady with this. Their lives (literally) are in her hands and the...
One Tree Hill Mini-Binge!
Happy holidays, Patrons!Whatever holiday you celebrate (and if you celebrate none, happy end of December!), let's enjoy it together with a One Tree Hill mini-binge.There will be a new episode every day for those on the $10/month tier and above from December 22 to 26.Thanks so much for being here with me!
Felicity 2X9: Portraits
Ugh. I no longer know exactly how I feel about a Felicity and Noel ship.Also, am I the only one whose concerned about Julie's record label guy? (Besides Sean, obviously).And what was going in with Ben this episode.
The Mick 2X20: The Graduate
This is how they are leaving us?!?I don't even want to comment.
The Americans 1X1: Pilot
One of my lovely Patrons, Melissa, sponsored the first season of The Americans.OMG. The first 20 minutes I was so confused! But by the time it was over, I was so hooked!You guys, this show is stressful! But also great?
One Tree Hill 1X12: Crash Course in Polite Conversation
This is not how I wanted a Nathan episode to go down.BUT Peyton and Lucas!!! Ahhhh!!!I did not love this episode overall, but I did love a lot of what it gave me.
Book Stack $15/month
Hey guys.Just a heads up that starting on January 1, 2024, the $15/month tier will also include three episodes a week of One Tree Hill (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) and two episodes a week each of both Shameless and Better Call Saul (Tuesday and Thursday).This is in addition to the Book Stack Exclusives of Glow, Flea...
Book to Screen: Insurgent
This was not part of the plan, but I enjoyed the first one so much that I ended up watching the second.It was good, but not nearly as good as the first one.As of right now, I'm thinking I probably will watch the 3rd, but I'm in no rush to do it. So certainly don't look for it next week.
The Fall of the House of the Usher 1X7: The Pit and the Pendulum
Ooh, this episode was a little different than some of the others.That said, I'm super excited for the last episode. I have no idea where we're going with this, but I am dying to find out how this all happened.
Shameless 1X7: Frank Gallagher: Loving Husband, Devoted Father
It was only a matter of time before we got a good 'faking my own death' episode. I just didn't think it would happen so soon.That said, this episode was pretty great.
The Mick 2X19: The Dance
Um, why does Sabrina need $2500? This makes zero sense. Also, I'm kind of disappointed we didn't actually get to see her dance.Also, Ben the thief is not quite on par with Ben the pyro. However, still fun to watch Mickey shoot herself with the stolen gun.Poor Chip. No matter what he does, he always ends up a lo...
Better Call Saul 1X9: Pimento
I was shocked by the reveal of Chuck. I 100% did not realize he didn't feel like Jimmy was a real lawyer. I really thought his standoffishness was about his previous life as Slippin' Jimmy.And what the fuck. How dare they cut Jimmy out of this case.
Felicity 2X8: Family Affairs
And I just now understood the title of this episodes. Ooops.I'm shocked that Felicity has the capacity for a casual relationship. I would not have thought that possible only a few episodes ago.But as usual, everything is a hot mess.
One Tree Hill 1X11: The Living Years
Did Nathan actually quit? I mean, he did, but I can't imagine it's for the rest of the series, right?Also, that counseling session was a disaster. And we can all agree it was 100% Dan's fault. I will die on this hill. And he had the audacity to flirt with the waitress while his wife is threatening to leave ...
Drunk Re-watch Chuck 1X1: Chuck Versus the Intersect
I haven't seen this show in years. Either it really held up well, or my drunken state made it appear better than it was.So now I kinda wanna do a complete re-watch.
The Fall of the House of the Usher 1X6: Goldbug
This was my least favorite episode. But I think that's because Tamerlane is my least favorite character.That said, it was still a really good episode.I love unreliable narration, and this show is killing it. But I'm concerned that by the end, I'm gonna be even more confused than I am now!
Book to Screen: Divergent
You guys, this movie was so enjoyable!I cannot believe that I've never seen it.Apparently there are two more movies. I'm fairly certain I will be watching at least the next one.
The Mick 2X18: The Car
How Mickey and Jimmy have not yet been arrested for child abuse, I'll never understand.Also, Alba playing both Sabrina and Chip was fun. But honestly, everything Alba does since meeting Mickey is pretty fun.
Shameless 1X6: Killer Carl
Dude. I would be so pissed off at Frank if I were anyone else in that family.Also, I 100% did not expect him to follow through on his deal with Karen.But, I really love how this family (and Kevin and Veronica) all pull together to get to shit done.
Better Call Saul 1X8: RICO
Past Jimmy passed the bar. Huzzah!Um, toilet paper for the win? Maybe?Also, is Chuck fine now?
What's next on Book Stack?
So, The Fall of the House of the Usher will be finishing up in a couple of weeks. And we need to replace it. This will be a show that's coming out every Friday on the $15/tier starting January 5, 2024.I have some ideas, but I'm totally open to suggestions.I've allowed multiple-choice voting, but also, feel ...
Felicity 2X7: Getting Lucky
I don't think this was my favorite episode. To be fair, I'm not a dog person, so that may have been part of it.That said, I do like Felicity and Noel sort of being comfortable enough around each other to have honest conversations.Also, I really can't tell if I like David or not. it might be because I know h...
One Tree Hill 1X10: You Gotta Go There to Come Back
Dude, I can't with Dan. I'm afraid it's only a matter of time until I break my laptop pretending to punch him through the screen. In what universe does he think he has any right to disparage Deb? How could he ever think Nathan would ever want to spend any time with him unless forced to?I guess Lucas and Bro...
The Mick 2X17: The Night Off
At first I wasn't really a fan of this episode. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how much it had going for it.Minus Jimmy, all the story lines were actually pretty good. I'd say Sabrina and Mickey ending up in jail, and Chip enjoying the house alone were the best ones. However, there is some...
Drunk Re-watch American Horror Story 3X1: Bitchcraft
And now all I want to wear is black.
The Fall of the House of the Usher 1X5: The Tell-Tale Heart
Ugh. Again, this episode was amazing.I'm loving the way they are setting up this mystery. I think they do an excellent job of the flashbacks as well.Also, I can't tell if I'm proud of Auggie or if I feel cheated about the lack of informant.
YA Book to Screen: Twilight
Somehow I never managed to watch this movie. I've been lucky apparently up until now. At least I never have to watch it again.I apologize if you love this movie. I did not.
Shameless 1X5: Three Boys
It's a (fake!) wedding! And a negative biopsy. Huzzah!
