I've gone. Not one for goodbyes, I thought it best to slip out quietly. Love to you all, Giles.

Rest in peace, Anthony Stewart Head (1954 – 2026)

2x15 – Pie in the Sky

A pie to the face killed the astronaut? Is he allergic to something in it?

Oh nope. Nerve agent. Of course.

Yes Adam this is a weird case. It involves a sprinter, a nun and an astronaut! It sounds like the start of a bad joke! “Three people walked into a bar…”

This could’ve been an interesting case but there was way too much other stuff going on for it to really shine.

Wagner’s discovered our little band of detectives are good people and can be trusted. And then he basically sulks because no one trusts him back after how much of an ass he was when he first arrived? Shocking!

I do like Wagner’s character. I like he disrupts the peace. But that doesn’t mean he’s entitled to the other character’s forgiveness and honestly, I hope they make him work for it.

Who the hell is this Willa woman? Guessing Soto came to New York via Dallas? Either she spends as much time on flight tracking apps as my grandfather does on shipping apps, or she’s just scarily good at guessing. Is she like Morgan? Super smart?

I’m not getting that Morgan level of intelligence but she is obviously well informed.

Am I allowed to say she feels like a comic book villain? Her sat in the big all glass office sparring off with Soto felt… forced. It wasn’t a great sparring match. I don’t know whether it was the dialogue or the direction given to the actors, but yeah… I was rolling my eyes through the whole thing. That scene basically killed all Willa’s intimation from her first scene.

2x14 – If you come for the Queen

Dotty! Oh I loved Dotty! This was such a nice surprise to see her back again!

I think we should make a rule where its impossible to be mean to anyone with the name Dotty! It’s so grandma coded.

I love that Daphne got lead this week! And her teaming up with Morgan too! Girl power!

The massage rooms are soundproof? Nope, not here for that at all. any funny business happens, I want people to hear me screaming.

I felt Morgan’s pain this ep. When I pick up a pen and it doesn’t work, it’s the most infuriating thing. Which is why I don’t share my stationary at work. I loved her trying to trade for a working pen to Oz for a peek at his own case.

I really like it when Morgan gets a spark of inspiration from her everyday life to help a case. Keeps her rounded and yeah she pulls some answers out of very thin air, moments like this help ground it just a little.

I enjoyed this ep a lot. Dotty is a fun character, she helped bring a little more backstory and spark to Daphne’s character which is great. I’m really happy the two have reconnected. Maybe we’ll get to see more of Dotty in future eps? She works at the academy, could be some interesting plots there.

Special forces are involved with Roman? Did I understand that right?

I’ll be honest, I’m losing track of what’s important and what’s happened with the Roman, Arthur, mystery guy he beat up. When all of this is eventually revealed, I’m absolutely going to need a Morgan vision to spell it out for me.

2x13 – In the Driver’s Seat

People’s stupidity continues to amaze me! Who came up with the idea to steal a very expensive – and very orange – supercar of which there are only 8 in the world?!

Mind you, the car wasn’t very smart either. It literally kamikazed itself with the self-drive!

I liked the two crime plots for the price of one though!

These supercars that are basically computers on wheels with all the info they hold is somewhat daunting to think about.

Morgan-vision being puppets this week made me laugh! They were so well done! I hope they’re not lost in a warehouse and someone got to take them home!

I liked Oz teaming back up with Karadec. Wagner’s fun to have around, but the downside is we’ve not really seen a lot Oz and Daphne outside the bullpen this season. I think they’re both still junior detectives so it would really beneficial to see them get some on the job experiences with Karadec and Morgan some more.

In other news, Ava going down a design career path makes a lot of sense. She’s creative, talented, I can see her enjoying college on a design course. Then there's Elliott who’s getting invited to fancy private schools. I’m glad he decided to stick around. Morgan’s raising some good kids!

The creepy old dude spying on Morgan and Ava freaked me the hell out. Thank you Arther for taking him out… not sure where’s he taking him but he’s going somewhere!

I’ll admit, I have no idea what’s going on with the Roman plot now. I thought we’d have some answers by now but all there seems to be is more questions.

6x22 – The man who knew too much

Finale time!! Whoop!

Cas broke Sam’s wall? WTF?! I seriously thought the wall falling would be a S7 plot but I guess they figured let’s start now!

And now poor Sam can’t trust anything I guess because he’s having hallucinations in his own head and fighting pieces of himself.

I find it mildly amusing that when it was revealed Sam’s wall was down I said to myself “come on Sam pull yourself together” and that’s literally what he had to do.

Sam vs Soulless Sam and Hell-Sam was chilling! Jared is so good during these moments because he’s not acting against anyone else in the scene. That takes some skill!

As a distraction, I guess it worked but seriously Castiel? Not cool!

Bobby and Dean wondering how they were gonna ninja there way into Castiel’s bolthole only to be beaten to the punch by Crowley and his demons was very funny! Although can we please stop beating up on Baby!!

I wasn’t sure if Crowley and Castiel’s falling out was real until Crowley turned up with Rafeal. But no it was very genuine! Crowley might need to watch his back!

So Cas is all suped up on souls. How are they going to nerf him back down to earth after this? Because this is some power trip…

On a concerning side note… did Cas shut the door behind him when he acquired all those souls from purgatory? Because, you know, some doors don’t shut by themselves. They need a little nudge!

Shameless | Season 3

“People fuck up. That’s life. Family is supposed to be forever. They’re supposed to take care of you regardless what you do. That’s the whole point, otherwise why bother?”

[wayward-robin]

6x21 – Let it bleed

Wow… the writers really did the whole Dean, Lisa and Ben plot dirty. This is not a satisfying conclusion. I’m not sure why they were brought back because Dean didn’t even need to be around them for Lisa and Ben to be in danger so how is wiping their memories gonna help?

The only saving grace is Jensen’s acting. He sold the heartbreak at least and I do feel a little sorry for Dean but beyond that, I’m very over it.

Bobby’s a paranoid bastard who I love dearly! I’m so glad he makes copies of his research… how does he find the time to do that while rescuing Sam, Dean and other hunters from multiple fires every season, I don’t know! The man can clearly multi-task!

Considering Dean’s a horror movie fan, I’m surprised he’s never heard of HP Lovecraft. Who I wish we’d seen more of! This was such a short plot point! I feel like it deserved it’s own ep, not a finale prelude.

I love the chaos Crowley brings wherever he goes! This is why I’m concerned Cas is in over his head in their arrangement. Crowley finds and exploits loopholes. Cas isn’t as street saavy.

It’s Ellie the dragon lady!! Hello! I didn’t expect her to be relevant again! Love it! She’s absolutely gonna die though right? This season is killing off everyone. I can’t see her escaping.

Also, boys fix the angel proofing on Bobby’s house!! All sorts of riff-raff keep dropping by – looking at you, Balthezar…

2x12 – The Faust and the Furious

I really do love Morgan and Karadec’s friendship. They have great energy and I love these little quirks they’ve developed between them. Like Karadec allowing Morgan 3 questions to satisfy her curiosity? Adorable.

The victim’s assistant checked his vitals every morning? Nope. Way too intimate! There are some things you don’t need to know about your colleagues!

I didn’t really feel a lot of sympathy for this week’s victim. Another self-absorbed individual scarred of aging and doing everything possible to avoid it?

Also, he changed the ingredients to include St John’s Wort? Not cool. As soon as she said it I just face palmed.

I loved we got to meet Oz’s mom!! It’s so sweet she knows Daphne well enough to feel comfortable calling after the fight she had with Oz. I wonder if we get a Daphne ep too this season?

I wanted to yell at Karadec for pushing the button on a high tech panel in a room where the victim was locked inside and killed. He was always gonna get them locked in!! Morgan’s panic attack felt very, very real. Kudos for that acting. I liked seeing her less than calm in a situation that she’s not trained for. If she’d been fine, I’d have been questioning the writing.

The assistant was the murderer? That I didn’t expect but I can see it.

[wayward-robin]

I'm an introvert. I don't have a large group of friends. I have only a few. Not a single one has remembered my birthday... I think I need new friends

[wayward-robin]

I hate throat infections... the only thing they tell you to do is rest and drink lots of water...

I'd love to do both but they literally counteract each other! I rest, my mouth feels like the sarahara desert. I drink lots, my bladder turns into nigara falls!

[wayward-robin]

So I was advised to see the pharmacist because here in the UK they're qualified to diagnose some common issues. And have access to medical records I add.

Mr Pharmacist tries to diagnose me with tonsillitis... I tell him no, it's not that. He insists. I say it could be something similar like laryngitis but not tonsillitis. He still insists. At this point I'm now feeling gaslit because he literally just examined my throat... he should be able to see I don't have any tonsils!

So I tell him I had them removed as a kid and he asks "are you sure?" 🤨

Yes I am very sure I remember going to the hospital and having a piece of my throat cut out. They gave me jelly and ice cream after the surgery and it was the most painful bowl of ice cream I've ever eaten.

He concludes it's probably viral laryngitis then and sends me on my way with a throat spray and antiflamatories.

Watching eps of 911 now where there's no bobby is very weird

[wayward-robin]

Forgive me for not posting much lately. Honestly most my of time has been spent watching the playoffs. One of my favourite teams is the Buffalo 🦬 so it's been exciting to watch 😁

I have a bunch of posts ready I just haven't had a chance to queue it all up yet 🙃 hopefully this weekend or the next

Mickey & Lip // Shameless Season 11

[katicusdramaticus]

Yes. Send them to fight club. Lip has never won a physical fight in his life and watching Mickey pummel him would bring me great joy.

6x20 – The man who would be King 

A Castiel POV ep was a nice change of pace. And entirely necessary to actually explain and presumably set up the final eps.

So often Cas just pops up in the nick of time so I enjoyed seeing what he gets up to. A little creepy how he can just spy on Sam, Dean and Bobby without them knowing he’s there at all.

I liked seeing Castiel – who is an ancient being at this point – wrestle with what comes after the apocalypse. Because he’s always been a follower, obeying the rules and order. It’s interesting seeing him try and work out what having none of that now means.

He’s adorably naïve! Sam and Dean are aware of that, I think, and are rightfully concerned with the implications Castiel’s thrown in the towel with Crowley. They’ve been screwed over by making alliances like this before, but Cas is learning independence. That doesn’t mean he shouldn’t make his own decisions, but a big part of that learning curve is knowing when to ask for help.

Cas is very old compared to Sam and Dean, and I think he often believes that means he knows better, but age does not translate to wisdom or experience.

I finally got the answer to who raised Sam and Samuel!! Cas and Crowley!!

My one pet peeve with Cas is he is written inconsistently. Depending on what they need him to do, he has limitations slapped on him or gets a power up they then have to try and work around later down the line.

I do admire his loyalty to his friends. He’s just way in over his head.

I grin every time Crowley’s on screen! He’s such a scene stealer! He also gets all the best lines! “Denim wrapped nightmares” is my new personal favourite!

I love how scared he is of the Winchesters. He’s absolutely one of the smartest characters just for never underestimating them. I mean, this plan of his with Cas is undoubtedly going to backfire so he’s not wholly smart but his instincts for staying alive is unrivalled.

I love what he’s done with hell. Turning it into one big line is a very real form of torture! One I feel quite prepared for as Brit, our queuing is well known!

Now, I’m a little concerned about this soul business… if just a small amount can power up Cas like that, what the hell is all those in purgatory going to do to them when they get their hands on them?
