Fandom on the Rocks

Hello #FireFam. We're here to hit you with a surprise, wanted or unwanted. We're starting a mini series about 9-1-1.  Yeah, another Ryan Murphy show. Because we're masochists. It even gets it's own podcast cover art. And this is the first episode.

Emily and Alison share how they fell into the 9-1-1 universe (slowly, then all at once for Alison), discuss their favorite characters and storylines, and touch a little on the broader impact of Ryan Murphy's work (that bastard).

So whether you're a long-time viewer or you're new the series in Season 8 because you heard something might be going down, welcome. We're all family in this house. Just keep it off the streets, okay?

"It feels like every couple of years, Ryan Murphy comes up with a new show to ruin me."

Xoxo,FotR

Have you ever wondered what an episode of Glee would be like while crashed out on carbon monoxide poisoning? Well, now you know. This is S5E7, "Puppet Master."  Blaine Warbler Anderson struggles to be seen as a leader of the New Directions despite his longevity in the club. A gas leak in the choir room leads to puppet-filled hallucinations that somehow leads to no one receiving medical attention.

Everyone's favorite tracksuit wearing principal Sue Sylvester embarks on a journey of femininity after someone calls her "one of the guys." Listen, it's hard to be a woman in a male-dominated industry.

Over in New York, Kurt has to balance ambition against collaboration and teamwork in his band, Pamela Lansbury, given Starchild's undeniable onstage presence.

And of course, this episode features one of the bottom 10 worst Glee performances of all time.

Billy Joel is next on the Glee Tribute Episode chopping block as the New Directions seniors remember it's almost time to move on out of McKinley High. This is S5E6, "Movin' Out."  Graduation looms large (maybe larger than Nationals) and Blaine and Sam take a week off school to take a sneak peek at their upcoming lives in New York City.

Artie attempts to encourage Becky to take a chance on her own college dreams, while Sue Sylvester tries to keep Becky back in Lima as her secretary where she thinks it's safer for Becky.

The Marley-Jake-Ryder love triangle goes full cringe with public declarations of Big Feelings, roses in lockers, and both of the hosts of this podcast wish Marley would find someone better.

Google searches for twerking peaked in August of 2013. So of course Glee dedicated an episode to it that aired in October of that year. This is S5E5, "The End of Twerk."  Blaine gets caught throwing it back in the choir room, inspiring Mr. Schuester to attempt to incorporate the dance into The New Directions' repertoire. It goes just as well as you can imagine.

Unique struggles to to use the McKinley High bathroom that aligns with her gender identity, facing bullying and discrimination, a storyline that is remarkably (and sadly) timely even now. Despite the jarring tonal shifts, the plot line is handled with a surprising amount of sensitivity for a show known for...not doing that.

Rachel tries to convince Kurt to get tattoos in order to...be rebellious?

Welcome to the Season 2 finale of Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast. This is 2x12, "Master Plan."  Gerard Argent reveals his ultimate master plan (get it? It's the episode title), setting the stage for a dramatic showdown worthy of a season finale.

Assumed dead at the end of the last episode, Jackson Whittemore reemerges during the final battle, commanded by Gerard to attack the werewolves. But a surprising redemption comes in the form of one Lydia Martin. Maybe it really is all about the power of love.

Chris Argent's ongoing internal struggle and eventual decision to defy his father and release Boyd and Erica from captivity mark a significant turning point for his character. Are we Chris Argent stans? Probably. We love a morally gray character.

As Season 2 closes out and we look towards Season 3, Gerard's fate remains uncertain (boo!), and the introduction of an Alpha Pack hints at even greater challenges for Scott, Derek, and the pack members. Can't they ever get a break in Beacon Hills?

This week on Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast we expect the unexpected on the penultimate episode of Season 2. This is S2E11, "Battlefield."  With Scott academically ineligible to play in the championship lacrosse game, Stiles is thrust into the big game despite a serious lack of previous field time. But the championship isn't the only thing on the line - Gerard is planning on activating Jackson as the Kanima at the end of the game unless Scott gives up Derek.

Jackson isn't the only teenager leaving a trail of destruction and vengeance. Allison and her father are on a dark mission to hunt down two of Derek’s pack members, Boyd and Erica, but her motives are murky.

How many will survive this season? There's only one more episode left this season, and now we're missing Stiles Stilinski...

This week on Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast it's a rough night at the Beacon Hills Sheriff's department. This is 2x10, "Fury. "  Scott and Stiles try to convince the Sheriff that Creepy Matt is the true villain behind all of the murders, not Mr. Harris (even if Mr. Harris still sucks). But Matt is a step ahead of them, leading to a chaotic battle at the Sheriff's department between the Pack, Matt, and the Kanima under his control.

Melissa learns a shocking secret about her son.

Alan Deaton finally offers up some backstory, explaining he used to be something of an advisor to the Hale Pack, and that he made a promise to Talia Hale to to help Derek. You can decide how well he's been keeping this promise.

Alison takes a dark turn under Gerard's emotional manipulation, leading further towards revenge.

This week on Glee on the Rocks we're parsing one of the greatest questions of human history: are you a Katy or are you a Gaga? This is S5E4, "A Katy or a Gaga."   Nationals is looming and the latest competition, Throat Explosion, are stepping on the New Directions' niche of being "outsiders." Instead of dividing the New Directions into boys and girls for this week's Glee Club lesson, Mr. Schue opts to separate them into "Katy Perrys" and "Lady Gagas" in order to push them out of their comfort zones. It makes sense in the episode...kind of.

Over in New York, Kurt Hummel is on a mission to get our of his own comfort zone and cross an item off his NYC bucket list by starting a band. Something he definitely has time for between work and classes. But the will the unforgettable and wildly talented Starchild (aka Adam Lambert) be too much for Kurt's ego to handle?

Also there's relationship drama, because of course there is.

So, are you a Katy or a Gaga? Or do you refuse to fit into the pop girl binary?

This week on Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast we're dressing up and doing our hair for S2E9, "Party Guessed." It's Lydia Martin's birthday, but not everything is a celebration. She's plagued by nightmares of Peter Hale, who convinces her to do something "special" for him during her birthday party, which just so happens to coincide with the Worm Moon. We wouldn't recommend doing anything Peter Hale asks you to do.

We also follow the tragic fate of Victoria Argent to its bitter end. After being bitten and facing the inevitability of turning into a werewolf, Victoria must make a heartbreaking decision that sets Allison on a new path.

This week's episode acts as a culmination of two important storylines we've been following all season: just who is the Kanima's master and why Peter Hale has been haunting Lydia. The trauma is deep in this one.

This week on Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast we're celebrating our 20th episode! Thanks for being here, friends. This is S2E8, "Raving."  Chaos explodes at a secret (maybe not-so-secret) rave where Scott and Stiles attempt to trap Jackson before the Argents get to him. Sheriff Stilinski struggles to make sense of the ongoing killings when he doesn't have all of the pieces to put together (not the last time this happens, we're afraid).

Scott has a near-deadly encounter with Allison's mom, Victoria, who is more than a little upset about her daughter being in love with a werewolf. But this scheme ends with unintended, tragic, and long-lasting consequences.

Most importantly, it's time for the emergence of Magic Stiles. Stiles is tasked by Deaton with a job that will require him to draw upon a previously untapped force of will, and just maybe an unknown well of power.

Maybe we should all just stay away from raves with werewolves, yeah?
