Secret Diary of a Call Girl 1x04

It’s still the same night. I told you this show is easy to binge! A little over 20 minutes per episode and I’m just flying through them. I love a good marathon of a show that’s easy to sit through.

Thoughts While Watching

  • This opening montage is exactly why I could never be an escort. Or a model. Or an actress. Or anything where my physical appearance is judged constantly. You think I have the time, energy, desire, or care enough to stay on top of things like daily exercise, eating right, and shaving/waxing/plucking every day? Hell to the no.
  • 300 pounds to do her taxes? I know pounds and dollars are different and I don’t know the exact exchange rate but that seems steep. I paid $85 USD for someone to do my taxes.
  • I love the way they exchanged their paperwork in bed. It’s a cute scene.
  • I LOVE this scene with Ben. They’re so adorable.
  • Okay, so, part of the reason why I love Hannah and Ben so much is because I can relate to it. I have a guy best friend that I’ve been friends with now for about 15 years, since we were in high school. Long story short: we met because he was dating one of my best friends, I briefly dated his brother, then we were just friends but formed a crush on each other, we talked on the phone every night for months, he gave his best friend (who had a girlfriend) my number because his best friend had a crush on me and I started talking to him every night too (both of them, one call right after the other), he told me he liked me and I was too scared to say it back, then I started dating his best friend, and then the mess began. This friend, the Ben to my Hannah, or maybe in some ways the Hannah to my Ben, we’ll call him J. J was always jealous of my relationship, I was jealous of every girl J ever dated, hooked up with, or married, we had an off and on again unofficial relationship for YEARS. I say unofficial because he was never actually my boyfriend but we’ve been best friends since I was a teenager, we’ve hooked up many times, we’ve had feelings for each other the whole time, and it’s always caused problems with our significant others. This scene right here? I’ve lived it. When I found out J knocked a girl up and had a quickie shotgun wedding out of nowhere (he had just told me the week before that he would “never marry her"), I had an absolute MELTDOWN. I turned into the world’s most epic bitch just like Hannah does in this episode. I’ve lived this. And later on when Ben makes her the “best man” in the wedding that never happens? I actually did marry J’s best friend that I mentioned I started dating at the beginning of this story and J was the best man in my wedding. I love them because I relate to them. I’ve lived all of this but without the added complication of prostitution.
  • I’m with Stephanie. I’d like to beat up men for money.
  • I really don’t get the appeal in this level of roleplay. It’s too over the top. Just feels fake and cheesy to me.
  • It seems dangerous to just kick someone without looking at where you’re kicking them, especially for someone as inexperienced as Belle. Poor guy could've broken a rib or something.
  • I wish we’d seen this domme again. She’s interesting. I like that she’s married and doesn’t actually sleep with her clients.
  • “So glad I didn’t get hit by a bus!” she says as she holds up a whip. Lmao!
  • Okay, I have several questions. All of this stuff she bought to turn her apartment into a BDSM dungeon had to cost a fortune. Who paid for it? Did she pay for it out of pocket or did the client reimburse her? Did he get to keep it or did she take it back? I feel bad if he had to pay for it because I know the experience isn’t what he wanted. But I also think it’d be ridiculous for her to pay for it all for a one-time appointment. She would’ve put out more than she earned.
  • I can’t avoid people when there’s drama like she can. I’m the type to get into a fight every time.
  • This is so awkward and she’s so bad at this, I love it.
  • Oh my God…why? Some of this, like the toilet thing, is just TOO GROSS. I can’t understand the appeal at all. And yeah, I’m kink shaming. Get over it.
  • Not to nitpick about everything, but he said the safeword four times before she stopped. And she didn’t seem to do any of what the domme taught her about warming up. She’s supposed to be a professional and I know she’s new to this and emotionally distraught about Ben, but damn. And right after last episode where she intentionally did something without consent, it just feels a bit…gross.
  • Dude, just let her apologize. She was clearly the one who screwed this up.
  • I love how she’s making this out like she’s just mad that Ben didn’t tell her sooner when it’s obvious to me and probably everyone else that she’s actually jealous and doesn’t want to admit it or show a sign of weakness. I can relate to this so much.
  • SHE TOLD BEN!

Final Thoughts

Time for the next episode where we see the fallout of her texting Ben the link to her escorting site! Also, we’re officially halfway through the first season. Time flies when you’re having fun!

Robin Hood 1x08 "Tattoo? What Tattoo?"

This episode is a major turning point for the show. It calls back to a few things we've seen before, including Robin's nightmare from a few episodes ago, his wound, and the conversation he had with Guy in the first episode when Guy mentioned having seen Robin fight before, all of which was foreshadowing for the big reveal in this episode. The episode is sort of split into two parts. Half of it is focused on Djaq, her capture, and the attempts to free her, and the other half is focused on Guy and Robin. It's a really important episode with some great scenes in it and gives some fascinating insight into Robin's character, including in my opinion, highlighting several of his major character flaws. Let's begin! Thoughts While Watching: We open with a flashback of when Robin and Much were in Acre that's actually part of a dream that Robin's having in the present day. We see him get injured and try to stop someone, who we find out is Guy, from killing t...

Robin Hood 2x10 "Walkabout"

We're getting down to the last couple of episodes of the show's golden age before it starts spiraling downward and out of control and it's making me sad just thinking about it...but we're not there yet! We still have a couple great episodes to go! In this one we have definitive proof that the sheriff was not lying about his pact with Prince John because all of Nottingham is about to be destroyed when the sheriff decides to go sleepwalking and is missing on the designated check-in day. This is a fun one, so let's get into it. Thoughts While Watching: We open with a confusing but kind of hilarious scene where the sheriff is having a nightmare about Robin stealing the Pact, he keeps mumbling about it in his sleep, and he wakes up in the middle of the forest in his black silk pjs. Guy shows up at the castle and finds Prince John's envoy there who explains that he meets with the sheriff every other Thursday to make sure he's still okay, but today he'...

Robin Hood 2x03 "Childhood"

This is a really cute episode! I loved seeing how the gang has already become legendary enough that they've reached a kind of superhero status for the local children who play as their favorite outlaw. The kids were adorable and the whole episode was sweet and fun. I definitely rewatch this one a lot and I'm excited to see it again, so let's begin! Alright, Guy fans...this pic is for you! Thoughts While Watching: The episode starts out with four little boys playing Robin Hood. We know which one is supposed to be Robin himself (Daniel), but I'm wondering who each of the rest of them are supposed to be. There's six outlaws total at this point so not all of them are going to be represented. I'm not sure if their outfits are just what they normally wear or if they're supposed to be dressed up as their chosen outlaw, because one of them seems to be wearing an outfit similar to Will's and another looks like he's wearing a vest that sort of remind...
