Five Drinks Into TV: Better Call Saul Premiere 2 Night Event

Tom's Take:

It's Showtime!

So the first two episodes of Better Call Saul got us off to a really good start, so much so, that I want to talk about it.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 29 Blood v. Water 2 San Juan Del Sur Episode 4

Tom's Take:

We finally got a change up this week with the Hunahpu finally going to tribal council. We got a GREAT one episode arc with Drew's downfall,

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Big Brother Canada 2 Game and Show Final 3 Weeks

Tom's Take:

I am emotionally devastated by that finale since Neda came so close to winning, only to be cut off from the end in such a brutal way. But moving past that, I have to respect Jon for making that move because it won him the game. Jon was a great player this season, I ranked him as the second best going into these last few weeks, and he took out the actual best player, so he fully deserved his win.

Congratulation Jon Pardy.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 28 Episode 11 "Chaos is My Friend"

Tom's Take: 



What is Tony doing? He's making great TV that's what.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 28 Episode 10 BB "Sitting In My Spy Shack"

Tom's Take: 

Trish is actually playing a really good game, I wish I didn't hate her so much, and could actually root for her.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV Survivor Season 28 BBB Episode 9 "Bag of Tricks"

Tom's Take: 

Oh Tony. So much fun.

Five Drinks Into TV: How I Met Your Mother Final Season Final Episode

Tom’s Take:

So I am incredibly furious with how this show ended.

Let’s go over what the series finale did wrong.

Five Drinks Into How I Met Your Mother Final Season "The End of the Aisle"

Tom's Take:

In the penultimate episode of HIMYM, we get some build up to the events of the finale, but it was not what I was hoping for.

Five Drinks Into How I Met Your Mother Final Season Episode 21 "Gary Blauman"

Tom's Take:

And How I Met Your Mother managed to jump out of its’ funk and pull that off. This episode was a great one, though not necessarily a classic episode in the grand scheme of things, it was definitely one of the best of this season at least, and yes it even made me tear up a bit, although I’m not entirely sure why.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 28 BBB Episode 4 "Odd One Out"

Tom's Take: Tribe Swap. Are the producers just giving the win to the Brains tribe?

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 28 BBB Episode 4 "Our Time To Shine"

Tom's Take: Oh Brains tribe, you sucked so much you lost to a tribe throwing an immunity challenge.

Five Drinks Into How I Met Your Mother Final Season Episode 20 "Daisy"

Tom's Take:

We're at the point where I'm regretting trying to do this blog because I have nothing really interesting to say about this episode.

Lily being pregnant again is interesting, and I guess they're going to Italy.

Huh.

Yeah, that's all.

I hope I have more energy when I get to my BBCanada blog. And yes, I am going to get to it!

How I Met Your Mother Final Season Episode 18 "Rally"

Season 9 Episode 18 “Rally"

How I Met Your Mother Final Season Episode 19 "Vesuvius"

Tom's Take:

I'm reading Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson instead of writing an in depth review.

Here's the abbreviated version.

I thought this episode sucked, and the twist is awful.

Five Drinks Into How I Met Your Mother Final Season Episode 17 "Sunrise"

Tom's Take:

This episode definitely felt like a last season episode.

Five Drinks Into How I Met Your Mother Final Season Episode 16 "How Your Mother Met Me"

Tom's Take:

This episode proved once and for all that they should have met the mother in the series before this final season. In that way, it was actually kind of bittersweet, seeing as how much I liked the Mother and wished she could have been in more of the series. Instead, this episode was only a one off side episode, that gave us a glimpse of what the Mother was doing the last 9 years.

Five Drinks Into How I Met Your Mother Final Season Episode 15 "Unpause"

Tom's Take:

The Fifteenth episode of How I Met Your Mother's final season was a winner. While the last episode brought us a Slap, one of the longest running gags of the show, this one brought us Barney's job which was far more awesome. Because they managed to not actually disappoint us with solving the eternal mystery of what Barney does for a living.

And because I love it when Barney pulls a long con.

Five Drinks Into How I Met Your Mother The Final Season Episode 14 "Slappointment in Slapmarra"

Tom's Take:

So I totally lost track of the slaps somewhere along the line, because I was pretty sure this was supposed to be the final slap. Instead it wasn't, but rather what we got was a decently funny episode which took a massive detour from the major plots of the season.

Five Drinks Into How I Met Your Mother The Final Season "Bass Player Wanted"

Tom's Take:

We finally got more screen time for the Mother, and while I enjoyed her performance and the Mother as a character, I didn't particularly love this episode. It had a cute gimmick, but I wanted more flashforwards.

Five Drinks Into TV: How I Met Your Mother Final Season Episode 12 "The Rehearsal Dinner"

Tom's Take:

This was actually a really good episode. All of the characters were in top form, and the ending of the episode was also pretty cute.
