Fug the Show: Astronaut Wives Club recap, “Landing”

Jessica — Tue, 25 Aug 2015 16:00:34 -0700

First of all, I'd like to note that the costume and hair and makeup people REALLY went out with a bang here, in the show's finale. The clothes were BEYOND. You should flip through this slideshow even if you don't read a word. Second, I'd like to direct your attention to The Mid-Century Menu, which…

Fug the Show: Astronaut Wives Club Recap, “The Dark Side”

Jessica — Thu, 20 Aug 2015 16:00:50 -0700

I'm not sure if this episode was actually bad, or if it seemed worse in comparison because last week's was quite good? That being said, it did include: a lot of anguished facial expressions from a wife WE'VE NEVER MET and who we NEVER DO MEET; the worst Kennedy impersonation I've ever heard; a line…

Fug The Show: Astronaut Wives Club recap, “Abort”

Jessica — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 16:00:39 -0700

Hang onto your spacesuit: I thought this was a really good episode. Easily the best of the series so far, and for a lot of reasons. First, it focused on one story: the NASA investigation of Gus's death, whether or not the next launch is going to be postponed in its wake, and how everyone…

Fug the Show: Astronaut Wives Club recap, “Rendezvous”

Jessica — Tue, 04 Aug 2015 16:00:25 -0700

This was kind of a decent episode, with the exception of the fact that this show keeps insisting on including all kinds of stuff That Really Happened that they could cut out in the name of telling a more streamlined story, and also this one episode spanned THREE YEARS. Whatever: I'm just yelling into the…

Fug the Show: Astronaut Wives Club recap, “In the Blind”

At this point, there are only two more episodes left, so why not just finish this out, right? Rene Carpenter, as ever, wins the wardrobe competition, and she ALSO wins for the Best 60s Kitchen. She loses the Best Accent Competition, however, because I guess Yvonne Strahovski decided she was going to just go with…

Fug the Show: Astronauts Wives Club recap, “Flashpoint”

Jessica — Tue, 21 Jul 2015 16:00:51 -0700

"Hey guys, I've got an idea! Let's take the only couple the audience might be kinda invested in and ship one of them off to San Francisco for no reason and don't really give them a satisfying farewell of any sort! Also, have everyone do a different accent again -- that was fun! Also, let's…

Fug the Show: Astronaut Wives Club recap, “Liftoff”

Jessica — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 21:00:21 -0700

In which this show decides, "you know what? WE NEED MORE WIVES UP IN HERE!" You guys, you really really don't. That said, what this episode failed to do in continuity of character (spoiler: Betty is kind of a ditzy hick now? I don't know), it more than made up for in VINTAGE BATHING SUITS.

Fug the Show: The Astronaut Wives Club recap, “Retroattitude”

Jessica — Thu, 09 Jul 2015 19:00:04 -0700

Soooooo I totally forgot I hadn't written this recap until 6pm last night. And given that none of you asked me where it was, I am beginning to suspect this show is not long for the fugcaps. (I also say that every week. I'm like Dread Pirate Roberts over here. "Good night, Astronauts' Wives' Clubs.…

Fug the Show: The Astronaut Wives Club, “Protocol”

Jessica — Wed, 01 Jul 2015 16:00:45 -0700

I continue to have notes. First, I just noticed that this show is actually called Astronaut Wives Club, "astronaut" singular. I totally thought it was plural this whole time, which reminds me of something I read on Twitter when the show premiered, which is that the title FEELS like it ought to have an apostrophe...somewhere.

Fug the Show: The Astronaut Wives Club, “Launch”

Jessica — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 16:00:38 -0700

Because this show stars Hot Neighbor Wade and involves period costumes, which means it is right in my wheelhouse. That said: I have my doubts that this was widely watched by Fug Nation, so we'll see if these recaps have a life. Having noted that, boy do I have a lot of notes. This show…
