I also got a tumblr account so that's where I reblogged most of the gifs I used tonight (I wish I knew how to make my own gifs)
Alright so here is a jotted recap of the episode with my initial thoughts included throughout and after the episode. I do it this way because my memory sucks when it comes to recalling things that don't revolve around my OTP for the series.
SEASON 3
Don't forget: light blue are thoughts, red is sneak peek parts
Once again, I apologize for the format if its out of alignment...again -_-
