“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” 2x22
I like the bet. The girls banded together to help Terry. The Captain got promoted to a desk job.
“Once Upon A Time” 4x22-4x23
We saw how the author got his start. Isaac's whole book was just a role reversal. It was like basically all he did was switch the names. So dumb.
I'm glad Emma remembered everything. She's the dark one now. I just can't with this show anymore.
“The Good Wife” 6x22
Kalinda and Alicia said goodbye. Kalinda left town. Canning wants to team up with Alicia to take down her friends. Peter got an offer to run for Veep.
“Saturday Night Live”
Reese Witherspoon was a good host. Florence and the Machine were also great. I liked the Mother's Day aspects but it was kind of a blah episode.
“Grimm” 4x21
Renard recovered from being Jack the Ripper. Juliette lured Nick's mother to her violent death and took Diana. At least she seems to be feeling a little guilty.
“Battle Creek” 1x10
Russ and Milt investigated a prison break. I feel like Russ could've gotten away sooner but why nitpick when there's only a couple of episodes left.
“Outlander” 1x14
Claire hung out with Jamie's could've been stepdad. She agreed to marry Dougal if she can't rescue Jamie.
“Mad Men” 7x13
Don continued on the road and gotten beaten for his troubles. Betty has cancer but is going to spend her remaining days learning. Pete and Trudy are getting back together.
“Happyish” 1x03
I think I'm going to drop this. It's not quite my thing. It was the best episode yet though.
“Wolf Hall” 1x06
A bunch of people died. Cromwell got his justice but it doesn't look like he feels good about it.
“Game of Thrones” 5x05
Sansa found Theon. Dany tried to intimidate creeps and might marry someone. I was shocked Grey Worm is still alive. Jorah might turn into a Stone Person. Jon tried to find a way to make peace.
“Silicon Valley” 2x05
The team nearly moved out but stayed even though they are not zoned to stay there. Big Head caused trouble at work.
“Veep” 4x05
The VP resigned from the ticket. Selina had to find a new running mate. She might've had an affair with the one she chose. Dan had trouble in his new job.
“Orphan Black” 3x04
Sarah helped Mark. Gracie got cast out again. Helena killed her brother who wanted to die. Alison is now working for her ex.
“Penny Dreadful” 2x02
The team is being infiltrated from the inside. Victor could be entering a love triangle with two of his creations. Caliban talked with Vanessa. Dorian hooked up with a trans prostitute. So, a family got killed, their baby murdered, their baby's heart ripped out and put in a doll to control Vanessa. That is fucking dark.
“Grace And Frankie” 1x01-1x13
I thought this was an interesting start. A mix of humor and drama with a great cast.
I felt bad for Frankie, thinking that she and Sol had a great bond. They all had a point but they had to know she would take the credit card stuff badly.
Grace and Frankie had trouble working. Robert and Sol tried to get back to normal too soon. I'm glad that even though it was pointed out by the guys that the lying should stop, they've been lying for decades so it's hard to see where they stand.
Robert missed his old life. I felt so bad for Frankie getting left alone for the whole funeral and then hearing Grace talk about being stuck with her. Then Frankie ran to the car to escape and accidentally got in with Sol. So awkward.
There were a few tip offs that most of this was in Grace's head. I didn't like that she turned around so fast but it is nice she improved. Brianna getting high with Frankie was hilarious.
I liked Sol being there for Frankie. Grace had a horrible date but made out with a criminal. I don't really see what Coyote and Mallory see in each other besides the fact that they grew up together.
Frankie is the only one who ended up alone. Brianna has trouble keeping dates.
I can't believe how casual they are about Grace's boyfriend eating his friend. Sol is terrified of Brianna and Brianna loves it.
Brianna is dating one of her employees. Grace and Frankie had to set boundaries. I liked the “All My Children” reference.
Bud knew about the affair for years but couldn't process it. Robert decided not to come out so he could be there for Grace. Grace gave Brianna a job as a boss because she can't handle being an underling. Mallory went into labor in front of her whole family. Coyote and Mitch used to be friends.
Grace confided in Frankie and word spread all over. Grace and Frankie had some good secrets. Sol and Robert had to deal with skeletons in their past. Brianna had some sibling interactions with her future stepbrothers.
Robert and Sol threw a horrible bachelor party and faced some prejudice. Grace and Frankie had a say yes night where they got wild. They also got hit on.
Robert wrote his vows with his daughters' help. Sol slept with Frankie. I like that Grace was instantly there for her. Grace realized she didn't want to be with Guy.
