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 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 1x01 "Will You Tolerate This?"

Alright, here we go! One of my all time favorite shows, probably tied with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel or just slightly below them in the list (but definitely in my Top 3). I've been a Robin Hood fan since the very first episode first aired on BBC America when I was sixteen years old. For reference, I'll be turning thirty this month. I've rewatched this show, especially the first two seasons, more times than I can count. Plenty has changed in my life since I first saw this episode, so this will be fun! Let's get into it. Thoughts While Watching: I love that Allan is the first character we see. Joe Armstrong is such a cutie. Heartbreaking, in hindsight, how this scene sort of mirrors Allan's last scene though. "My wife expects a baby!" Oh, Allan...  These guards are way too excited about being able to mutilate people. Sadistic creeps. How long did it take Robin and Much to set up this string tied to the branches system? It's not like ...

Robin Hood 3x04 "Sins of the Father"

I took about a two month break from my rewatch. Since I last reviewed an episode I've been working on a Robin Hood fanfic (the rough draft is finished and I'm editing now and trying to work up the courage to post it), rewatching random episodes of other shows (kinda on a Charmed kick lately), and started a new rewatch of Robin Hood with a fan group I'm in. I've also, of course, been dealing with real life. I know quarantine is over for most people, but not my family! I'll still be out of work until at least the end of August (I work in a school and while I absolutely love my job, I'm honestly considering looking for a new one because I'm really concerned about the uncertainty of the upcoming school year) and my husband is still mostly working from home. At least that means I still have time to watch my shows! I think another reason the rewatch has been going so much slower for season three is that my heart is really just not in it. I love seasons one and two...
