Spoil Me

Thank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! So we finally find out who the dude with the glasses is that Dani seems haunted by, and I for one feel super bad for her. I just hate that she's finally able to tell the truth about what she wants, and is immediately punished for it. Really it's no wonder at all that she's haunted. Meanwhile, we're dealing with the whole issue with Owen's mothe...

Hoo Boy. First of all, I want to thank Bert for commissioning the finale of Dark so that I was able to avoid further confusion and watch it quickly following the penultimate episode so that I wasn't too too lost. That said, I am so angry throughout this episode that confusion turned out to be, in retrospect, something I needn't have worried about. This will go down in my mental Hall Of Shame as on...

Thank you very much to Paul for commissioning this episode! I'm so into this show, y'all. This is turning out to be a story about how a murder rips apart a family and a community just as much as it's a story about catching a murderer. We get to see the ripple effects of this investigation hit Jack Marshall as squarely as if he were the intended target, when in the end it really looks like he had n...

Thank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode of The Haunting Of Bly Manor! This episode fills in a lot of the story regarding Becca and Pete's relationship, and I found this very effective. I don't know who was in charge of the majority of Pete's dialogue and directing, but I think this show did a better job depicting the gradual escalation of an abusive relationship than most othe...

Thank you very much to Arielle for commissioning this episode! So we've got another murder on our hands, theydies and gentlethems, and personally I'm delighted. That guy seemed like he sucked, and we needed a little more going on than just the Dean, IMO. I haven't got a real theory about the connection, but I assume they're connected since it seems like the Coach's murder storyline is going to spa...

Thank you very much to Jessie for commissioning this episode! Welp, we're reaching the stage in the investigation where dirty laundry is getting positively YEETED out the hamper, and I'm not sure that everyone's first impressions on this are actually correct. I feel like Jack Marshall wasn't involved with little boys, although I can completely believe that he's a creep. However, he's not exactly f...

Thank you so much to Yama for commissioning this episode! This episode is when we find out that Bartosz is, in many ways, not as much of a side player in this whole conflict as many of us had doubtless supposed. Turns out that he's Noah's dad, and it's a really weird twist that might mean something significant, or might not. It's hard to know what we have room for with only one episode left after...

Thank you to Yama for commissioning this episode! So this is the one where it seems like we're finally finding out the truth about what Adam is actually after...MAYBE. I think? It's so hard to know. They all lie so much. But based on how few episodes are left, and the way he's treating Martha, I'm going to go ahead and say that he's a baddie and wants to kill her. And their kid. If I'm wrong, I'm...

THank you to Jaime for commissioning this episode! So we've finally reached the point where dirty secrets begin to be unearthed, and of course the very first ones we find out about are the Latimer family's. I had theorized that Mark was fucking around, but I couldn't see why, with his son's murderer on the line, he wouldn't be telling the police everything he knows. Well, he finally tells us, and...

Thank you to Krista for commissioning this whole book! It's the final episode of madness, and I'm here to tell you all that this book is so stupid and so occasionally clever and so weird that I think Mr. Tingle won me over by the end. It all ends with a proposal, and that's what we're all here for in our romances, aren't we? Well...aren't we? Bueller?

Thank you to Yama for commissioning this episode! Holy shit, this one is kind of brutal. I am so sorry for Katharina in this episode, because it just feels like she winds up being her mother's victim in the end like she'd been trying to avoid all her life, and it's so depressing. She really got the shit end of the stick in every way. Meanwhile, there's the loss of Peter as well, and Elisabeth find...

Thank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! In this Bly Manor installment, we get a really weird bit of backstory on what happened to Miles to cause him to be sent home, and it's unclear exactly what felt so urgent to him about his sister's message (apart from the fact that it was waiting for him on Day 1) but we know he took that shit to heart. We have another thing happening as well, w...

Thank you Krista for commissioning this episode! Alright, it's time for Part 2 of this wacky ride, and we've got a sex scene, theydies and gentlethems! It's a type of sex scene that I haven't run across in the very basic straight cis romance novels I've read, and I'm really interested in hearing any feedback about your experiences with this, should you have any. I mean, other things also happen, b...

Thank you so much to Krista for commissioning this episode! Also, though, Krista....never speak to me or my son again.

Thank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! I am already to scared, y'all, and I think it's only going to get worse. I AM A GIANT WIMP, OKAY??? And there are a lot of ghosts! A WHOLE FUCKING LOT OF GHOSTS! Thanks for listening!

It's time to say goodbye to this series, and I am pleasantly surprised at how complete this ending feels to me. A lot happens very quickly, but that's not an inherently bad thing, and we get a romantic happy ending despite the tragedy of preceding chapters. And also a glimmer of hope for the overall planet these people live on. I hope you enjoyed to coverage, and maybe I will see you again soon wi...

Thank you very much to Andy for commissioning this episode! This is the last episode of Cradle coverage for the foreseeable future and I talk about theories, the fandom, answer questions, and generally grieve the fact that I'm caught up like all you suckers. :P Thanks again for listening, and I will see you again!eventually!

Thank you very much to Yama for commissioning this episode! Okay so fair warning to you all, this episode is a MESS. It has been months since the previous episode of Dark and this isn't a show you can just jump in and out of, and I'm out here on camera forgetting names, forgetting plot threads, forgetting my own goddamn purpose in life. Please be kind and patient with me! Nevertheless, I hope you...

Thank you very much to Rachel for commissioning this episode! In this episode, Veronica breaks up with Logan in what feels like a pretty final way, although the fact that he's still playing a prominent role in the show makes me think we're not done with him yet. The case of the week is about a young woman who fell pregnant and was drugged by someone who didn't want her to carry the baby to term, a...

Thank you very much to Martin for commissioning this episode! It's the penultimate episode of Holy Sister, in which we begin to find out how many things that seemed coincidental were actually orchestrated by Abbess Glass. It's a much bigger plan than I had even anticipated, and there's clearly even more to be revealed. FYI I love jealous Nona and her having to tell her devils to STFU. Thanks for l...

Thank you very much to Martin for commissioning this episode! I'm almost at the end of this series and I honestly can't believe it. I feel like we're ramping up so hard right now that I can't imagine two more episodes of coverage will be enough to wrap it up. Damn, where are we headed after this? This section is when we see Sister Pan sacrifice herself in a final blaze of glory and power, and we f...

Thank you very much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! Welp, we've reached the end of the book and I feel comfortable being hard on it at this point since there remain no opportunities for improvement. It's a shame, since there were so many points where things could have gotten really interesting and very nearly did, but this series really gave off the impression of a writer who is kind o...

Thank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! WELP, this is the episode where I pretty much decide that this is a bad book. Thankfully, Ashleigh and I seem to be on the same page with this assessment, and I don't feel as bad about it since she hadn't read it before commissioning it. I don't regret reading it at all, because it's full of interesting ideas with lots of potential, but this au...

Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! I'm very surprised to be reentering this world again, but even though it's been a while I'm still able to follow most of what was going on. An incredibly good-looking prince is going to fully fund a lavish spectacle dedicated to his own stories of heroism, ostensibly to prep the people for his upcoming coronation. However, I think there's something...

Thank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, Lorkin finally comes clean about the slave girl and what happened to her while he was imprisoned, and while it turns out that the girl wasn't a Traitor (or so they think though they can't be sure) they are very compassionate with him. I actually really rather liked that scene. Meanwhile, things are beginning to ramp up with D...
