It's also the name of my cat.

I find those commercials so vicariously depressing, and I like cat commercials!

I like being able to tell people who only know him as Death that the first time I saw him he was playing an undertaker.

Dark as the circumstances are, part of me is entertained by the idea of Rafael ending up with four kids all under the age of two.

Yes! Her smile at the wedding was such a lovely little grace note.

Oh, owww. . .yeah, that would be a really devastating way for the writers to attempt to press the reset button on the love triangle.

I thought the joke about Esteban "busting out of condoms" was meant to imply that it was a contraception failure rather than totally unprotected sex.

I have watched TV before, so I knew it was coming, but I still felt very overwrought.

It's sprinkled through other moments, too—it helps if you know some of the tropes of courtly love, but right from the beginning, by having Romeo mooning over Rosaline, Shakespeare's undercutting the ideal. (I mean, I would argue he gets better later on at doing two or more contradictory things at the same time—R&J…

I feel like for a lot of people it's pretty much impossible for a teenage girl character not to be hated.

I was thinking I'm really, really glad I wasn't born a few years earlier, because I think I would have been one of those kids who was obsessively, paralyzingly terrified of nuclear war (I was born in 1981, and my brother would have been almost 8, so I'm guessing he didn't watch it either.) I got super-anxious just…

Learning to drive was legitimately so traumatic for me I didn't get my license until I was 24—and the one time I "practiced" with my dad even then, at my next lesson the instructor was like, "My professional opinion is never drive with your parents again" because I was so rattled I'd regressed like four lessons. So…

That article was so, so gripping and bizarre.

If he wrote them a check big enough for a lump sum single gift, it would cost them hugely in taxes, I think. It would be a pretty terrible way to manage the financials.

I'm not really talking about her being justly angry about the post itself, though; I'm saying she acted like she had NO IDEA why Petra might feel compelled to shield her sister, like she literally can't put it in a sentence. She can think Petra was wrong, but it's either moronic or disingenuous for Jane the…

Seriously. It's bad enough when writers keep constantly dropping in clumsy deus ex machina interruptions to keep people from having a simple expository conversation, but these writers aren't even bothering to do that. The characters are acting like characters who know they have to extend the mystery, not like what…

I haven't been as much bothered by Jane as some people this season, but she was working my nerves today. I think it bothers me that she—of the romance novels and telenovelas—can't imagine AT ALL why Petra might feel compelled to protect her (as far as Petra knows) abandoned at birth and abused sister.) Like, you…

I did immediately think of that book. It was definitely part of my childhood library.

Would that I had more than one upvote.

I know a couple of stage fight choreographers, and oh, Michael. You poor innocent little lamb. (But seriously Rogelio, have more pride than to make him wear that uniform. At least make it gloriously tacky, instead of just bleh.)
