Omg Kristy the baby feminist is already giving me life

#babysittersclub

Aaah the Thomas family is PERFECT

And this is a perfect update to the "trying to find a sitter scene"

#babysittersclub

JANINE

#babysittersclub

Claudia's room is BETTER THAN I IMAGINED

and all the girls are adorbs

#babysittersclub

"An olden-times phone"

#babysittersclub

Hahahaha, I love the coolness factor Claudia and Stacey have and how overwhelmed Kristy and Mary Anne obviously feel

And lol, Kristy and Watson

#babysittersclub

I legit forgot how much Kristy hated Watson

This is so great, I love the Thomas-Brewer family feelings

#babysittersclub

"This is the most I've ever heard her speak!"

"I've known her since birth...and same."

#babysittersclub

Omg can we TALK about the table with chicken feet

#babysittersclub

Watson is such a dork, and I love him

#babysittersclub

KAREN AND ANDREW

AND MORBIDDA DESTINY

#babysittersclub

I have a lot of feelings about Claudia as a slightly pretentious Artiste who takes college art classes

But mostly I love it

#babysittersclub

I also feel like the adaptation is perfectly capturing Kristy

She's so loyal but also controlling and a little over the top but she usually comes around

And her mom is so great

THEY'RE SO PRECIOUS

#babysittersclub

I want to give them all hugs

#babysittersclub

THE DIRECTOR'S CHAIR IS HERE

#babysittersclub

The PHANTOM PHONE CALLS YESSSSS

#babysittersclub

"Unfortunately, subtlety is not among her many talents"

lol, Kristy is me

#babysittersclub

I see we're setting up the Mary Anne and Logan romance...

#babysittersclub

But for real, Kristy gives off strong gay energy

#babysittersclub

MIMI

"Nobody at your age feels like their parents understand them. Grandparents, on the other hand..."

#babysittersclub

Hmmmm. I have mixed feelings on Janine so far.

#babysittersclub

Ooof. Mary Anne's dad bears a strong resemblance to my dad.

Also, Mary Anne's old phone

#babysittersclub

Oh no the friendship drama

#babysittersclub

Also, Claudia is ROCKING that "smart" outfit

#babysittersclub

THE FLASHLIGHTS

#babysittersclub

I'm not sure about Stacey's actor yet- I think she might be the weakest of the four main girls at the moment. But I'm not very far in

#babysittersclub

"My dad says it's derivative"

Okay i know this is a serious scene but also lol kid you are 13

#babysittersclub

Watson continues to be a dork, Kristy continues to be unimpressed

#babysittersclub

KAREN

"I need some refreshments for the wake I'm having for my doll"

WHAT AN ADORABLE WEIRDO

#babysittersclub

"Should we close her eyes?"

"No. It's dark enough in the grave."

"Should we say a prayer?"

"Krakatoa was an atheist."

Karen is a character who is so easy to get wrong but I love how this interpretation of her

#babysittersclub

I'm glad Claudia told the truth to her parents, but awww. Poor Stacey.

#babysittersclub

Ooooh Mrs Johanssen is gay in this?

And yesss time to take down the high school copycats

#babysittersclub

Omggggg this commercial by the Baby-Sitters Agency

#babysittersclub

KID KITS

I legit had one of these in my babysitting days and it was always great

#babysittersclub

Awww, I've been wondering how they would update Stacey and her diabetes

My brother is type 1 and I've had friends who are, but most of them were diagnosed at an earlier age than the show is going w/ for Stacey, and I suspect that makes a big difference

#babysittersclub

The scene with Stacey and her mom in the fitting room was rough, though.

#babysittersclub

Omg Kristy is so ridiculous

Reading "The Art of War"

#babysittersclub

Ahahahahaha Stacey and Sam

Also I love what this scene shows about Kristy and Sam's relationship, it's so realistic

#babysittersclub

Stacey's mom is kind of the worst. I mean, I know there's probably context I'm missing here, but ugh. The way she reacts to Stacey's diabetes really rubs me the wrong way.

#babysittersclub

Okay I continue to love Kristy's actor. She has The Look DOWN.

#babysittersclub

Awwww, I want to give Stacey a hug.

#babysittersclub

"And we have to do the most responsible thing of all."

"Vacuum."

#babysittersclub

"You're not the boss of me, Coach Kristy is."

#babysittersclub

The bedazzled insulin pump is perfect!!!!

#babysittersclub

MARY ANNE MARY ANNE MARY ANNE

#babysittersclub

Awww, I love that this is expanding on a relationship between Mary Anne and Mimi! And did we have a canon career for Alma in the books? I like her as a lawyer (although lol I feel like multiple other parents had that job)

#babysittersclub

The casting for Richard Spier was PERFECT

#babysittersclub

I'm gonna start sympathy crying for Mary Anne

#babysittersclub

DAWN IS HERE

I ALREADY LOVE HER

#babysittersclub

BSC said trans rights

#babysittersclub

I love the casual queer rep in this show so far

#babysittersclub

Yessss this is a perfect interpretation of the Schafers

Also lololol Morbidda Destiny is actually a witch

#babysittersclub

"I mean, a new moon sharemony is not everyone's cup of tea"

#babysittersclub

Aaaah Mary Anne is so good, I love her stepping in for Bailey

She's the best

#babysittersclub

Oh no this Richard and Mary Anne scene

I love them and I'm gonna cry

#babysittersclub

Aaaaaaah I love Mary Anne's new look! And playing Mary Anne over it is just perfect

#babysittersclub

Dawn and Mary Anne secret handshake!!!

AND RICHARD AND SHARON REUNION!!!!

#babysittersclub

Ahahahaha, oh I remember this this Dawn plot now

This is gonna be good

#babysittersclub

I've always loved Sharon, but I think this version of her makes me love her even more

And omg, watching Richard with Sharon is DELIGHTFUL

"I don't think I've ever dated a man with such an extensive apron collection"

#babysittersclub

Dear God I think I had babysitting jobs like this

Poor Dawn

#babysittersclub

I'll be honest though, I think BSC books like this taught me how to set reasonable expectations with the parents I used to sit for

#babysittersclub

"Allow the divine spark in myself to recognize the divine spark in Kristy Thomas. Namaste her into submission."

OMGGGGGGGG

#babysittersclub

Lolol the spit take Liz did about Sharon seeing Richard

"You just seem so lovely and free, and he just tucks that shirt in so tight"

Lol, Sharon is the only person who would call Richard easygoing

#babysittersclub

Awwwww, Kristy and her dad feelings

I love that Dawn's dad is gay in this, though

#babysittersclub

Oh noooooooo I'm gonna have more feelings about missing parents in the BSC

#babysittersclub

KRISTY OH NO

I WANT TO GIVE HER ALL THE HUGS

#babysittersclub

Kristy and her dad issues made a very big impact on me in the books and omg this storyline is just. It hurts me so good.

The girls all need to hug it out

#babysittersclub

Okay that picture of Mary Anne's mom might make me genuinely cry

#babysittersclub

"Parents are just older weirdos, doing the best they can"

TRUTH

#babysittersclub

"Have you ever heard of Queer Eye?"

"Of cour-- oh no. They're not here, are they?"

The idea of strait-laced Richard Spier watching Queer Eye is SENDING ME

#babysittersclub

Okay I would genuinely love Claudia's sheer daisy blouse

#babysittersclub

OH NO MIMI



#babysittersclub

Hmmm. I'm still mixed on the Janine portrayal here.

But I do love the famous candy still-lifes!

#babysittersclub

Oh God this episode is a rough one, after losing my grandmother last year

#babysittersclub

Omg Mary Anne is so bad at talking to people

I relate.

#babysittersclub

I love Claudia's glitter eyeliner

#babysittersclub

Ooof. I think I like how they changed this one, even if it did make me sad. And yay for Claudia and Janine getting to bond a little, and for Janine knowing Japanese!

#babysittersclub

Awwww, Mary Anne putting bits of her mom in her room

#babysittersclub

Sea City here we come????

#babysittersclub

Omg it's our intro to the Pikes!!!

#babysittersclub

"Project Parent Trap begins now."

Lol, I love how Mary Anne and Dawn's handshake gets more and more elaborate

#babysittersclub

The triplets (if they are still triplets?) Don't seem to be identical, thank goodness

I don’t think I could handle that

But the Pikes sounding off in a line is just too much

#babysittersclub

"She's going through a poetry phase. It's very annoying, but we encourage our children to follow their bliss."

I love the Pikes

#babysittersclub
