Secret Diary of a Call Girl 1x08

Here we are, last episode of the first season. I’ve watched the whole season in one sitting so far. Easiest show to binge ever. Season finale, here I come!

Thoughts While Watching

  • How legit is this courtesan thing? Sounds very straight out of the Renaissance era. Are they just really high-end sugar babies with a pretentious label?
  • That one courtesan played the sheriff’s sister on Robin Hood.
  • So rude. I think the blue looks nice on her.
  • Yeah, Hannah. It’s weird to ask your ex to take seductive pictures of you for your courtesan website.
  • I love the part where she tells Stephanie off! I’d love to quit a job like that someday. I’ve fantasized about it.
  • I love this photoshoot montage. I’d love to do a boudoir photoshoot someday but I’m too fat and covered in pregnancy stretch marks.
  • It’s cute how excited she gets about the apartment. Too bad the guy ends up being a jerk.
  • I think her mom is suspicious. Maybe not of her being an escort, but I bet that she at least thinks that Hannah is sleeping with her boss or something. Actually, when Jackie goes to live with her later on she says something about how Hannah works a dead end job where the only chance of moving up the ladder is to sleep with someone, which makes me think that maybe her and their mom talked about their theory behind her back and that’s what they decided was happening.
  • Aw, the cactus housewarming gift is cute.
  • I wonder how the pay works at this level. If she can only have around 4ish clients and they might not live in London to see her that often, does she get an allowance from them? That fits my sugar baby theory.
  • So why doesn’t she go out sightseeing or something? Or bring a book? Watch tv? There’s gotta be more to do than sit in that room all day.
  • This guy is SUCH a prick. I hate him. There’s no reason to be such a douche about it. He could just say that he has a problem with her doing stuff like that because his job is so important to him. If he made it clear in a nice way, I’m sure she would have gotten the picture. He didn’t have to snap like that.
  • Ben’s right, she definitely knew exactly what she was doing. I’ve done something similar before.
  • AWWW! “Yeah, Vanessa wonders what I’m doing here at midnight. Of course, because she knows, Hannah! Shit, at our wedding she’s gonna be sat there next to me in her dress and you’re going to get up and give your speech and every single person in the room is gonna be thinking ‘why isn’t he marrying her?’”
  • Good for her getting rid of that guy and this whole courtesan business. Now she’s going to be an independent escort.
  • Ben called off the wedding! “I don’t want to marry you, but when I realized that, I realized I don’t want to marry her either.”
  • It’s cute how close Ben is with her family. Too bad that Jackie stuff will wreck that.
  • “As long as one person knows you entirely and loves you still” aww, cute way to end the season on a very Hannah/Ben note.

Final Thoughts

I love the first season, but I’m really looking forward to season two because I LOVE Bambi! Can’t believe I just marathoned the whole season in one night. Time to get this ready to post!

Robin Hood 1x12 "The Return of the King"

Woo! We made it to the first half of the two part season one finale! These next two episodes are going to be an emotional rollercoaster, but a fun one! Djaq and Marian both get to absolutely shine in this episode too, which is fantastic (I think this episode is only the second or third instance in the entire show so far that passes the Bechdel Test, which isn't great...), and everyone involved in the cave scenes gets to really show off their acting abilities here in a big way. I'm excited for this one, so let's begin! Thoughts While Watching: Guy looks so awkward holding that bird. You don't feed your birds?! I'm calling PETA! The cave doesn't seem that bad. I'd rather be in there than out in the rain. "Bats are rats, rats with wings." This whole scene is great. I love Much. I didn't know that fact about bats was something they would've known back then. Makes sense that Djaq would be the one to know it. Djaq knows everything. ...

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...

Robin Hood 3x09 "A Dangerous Deal"

I think this episode is the Meg episode and if so I remember liking it so I'm excited to get started on this one! Let's begin! Thoughts While Watching So Robin’s sneaking in on Isabella in her bedroom and confronts her about becoming the new sheriff and Isabella immediately points out how rare it is for a woman to have a chance to get power like that. I know she’s crazy and going on a downward spiral to the dark side and will ultimately extremely screw over one of my favorite characters (Allan), but you know what, good for her. She’s right.  Wait, why would she fall when the prince does when the king returns? Just because Prince John appointed her that means she’s “working with a traitor” and against King Richard? I don’t think so. The previous sheriff is dead (or so they think). A new sheriff needs to be appointed. King Richard gave Prince John the authority to do that. She was legally appointed by the man that King Richard left in charge. Unless she directly helps P...
