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 2x13 "We Are Robin Hood!"

Here we are...at the season two finale. It happened too fast! The first two seasons of this show are absolutely amazing and wonderful, but then this episode is the turning point. The show made two horrible mistakes here and it will never recover from them in the third and final season. The third season is missing all of the magic that made the first two seasons so great. It almost feels like a different show in some ways, in my opinion anyway. As much as I would've loved to stop before the season two two-part finale and just go back to the beginning again, the rewatch must go on. So here we go... Warning: This post randomly includes two bullet points with Buffy the Vampire Slayer spoilers. I give a spoiler alert right before I go into my points (I'm comparing similar aspects between the two shows), but be cautious if you haven't seen/finished Buffy, plan to watch Buffy, and you're the type of person whose eyes wander around the page.

Robin Hood 1x05 "Turk Flu"

It's Djaq's first episode!!! Yay! I've been looking forward to this! Djaq is my absolute favorite character in the show. I don't think this needs much of a lengthy introduction and I'm really eager to get started and see Djaq, so let's just get right into it! Thoughts While Watching: The episode opens with some kind of catastrophe at the Treeton Mine, people are dead, and Guy shows up to terrorize the villagers. This annoying kid Rowan is talking to his father and tells him to stand up to the sheriff. Every time a character on this show tells their father to stand up to the sheriff, the father dies. Every. Time. It happens to Rowan's dad, it happens to Will's dad, and it happens to Marian's dad.  Rowan's dad tells Guy that the miners are going on strike, Guy informs the sheriff of this who then taunts him that he shouldn't be giving them choices, and Guy kills him. That's "good man" Guy of Gisborne for you. The sherif...

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'...
