Secret Diary of a Call Girl 2x04

Is this the episode where Alex and Ben finally meet each other? With the incredibly awkward threesome with Bambi and the even more awkward three way lunch date between Hannah, Alex, and Ben? I think so. This is a fun one, let’s begin!


Thoughts While Watching

  • Alex and Hannah are really cute. I agree with Hannah’s excuse, even if it is just an excuse and not the truth. I don’t think the person you’re dating can just invite themselves to a friend hangout. I think it’s rude.
  • The sponge trick is useful for everyone to know.
  • Oh, lord. This guy’s mustache is too much, in combination with that hairstyle, personality, and fashion sense…oh no. There’s not enough money in the world.
  • Bambi really does look ridiculous. Belle needs to give her lessons in how to fake arousal.
  • Aw, look at her feeling guilty! So much for being “professional” about it though.
  • Ben’s getting so jealous and it’s adorable! I like Alex a lot, but I’m 100% team Ben.
  • I don’t think she was using him as a decoy at all. I think Ben’s just trying to wreck it because he’s jealous and he knows if Alex finds out, he’ll bail.
  • Alex is getting really clingy really fast, but it’s understandable because of how mysterious she always is.
  • Why would she tell him that Bambi has a drinking problem? Why does she try to hide Bambi from everyone, both Alex and her sister in season three? All she has to do is tell Bambi to keep the secret and I’m sure she’ll be fine. She’s friendly, laidback, and warm. Letting people meet her wouldn't be awkward at all.
  • I’m not gonna lie, I’d be upset if my friend did that to me with the wine comment.
  • Hannah really shouldn’t bring up the fact that they’re fighting in front of him. So awkward. They’re both at fault here though. Hannah shouldn’t have made those initial comments, Ben retaliated way more than was necessary out of jealousy, and then Hannah really blew it out of proportion and made it a public awkward mess.
  • They both just made it incredibly obvious that there’s unresolved romantic feelings between them. And Alex called it. He could tell immediately that Ben has feelings for her. And that’s exactly what this scene was, it’s not about her living a double life or lying, it’s about her having romantic feelings for someone else and Ben can’t deal.
  • Wasn’t it just last episode that she tried to break up with him and he refused to let her and now in this episode he’s saying that he’s not sure if he wants to continue it because she doesn’t seem as invested as he is? She did warn him. But of course now after that romantic speech and her guilty visions of him during that threesome, she’s realized she’s in love with him.

Final Thoughts

That lunch was wonderfully awkward and overdramatic. It’s a tough situation that I’ve been in many times. I’ve mentioned before that I have a friend that I have a very Hannah/Ben type relationship with and whenever I meet a girl he’s involved with, there’s always a bit of awkwardness though it’s usually not quite as obvious as that was. He knows my husband well enough that it’s not awkward that way around but there is some lingering jealousy both ways between the two of them. It’s never easy to stay friends with someone who you have a history with especially when the feelings might still linger for one or both of you. There’s always complications but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it to try if you care about the person.

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'...
