Kudos to your perfect description of memories like that - you really nailed not only what those real-world moments are like, but why the ending of the show affected me (and probably most viewers) in the way it did.

It's not your hearing where the TV is concerned, so rest assured on that point, at least. 😉

^Yes.

^This a thousand times. Contemporary sound mixing is horrendous - I complain about it constantly (to myself in my head). I actually started to worry about a hearing loss until I realized I could hear people talking in the real world just fine and dandy - outdoors and with the stereo playing in the background. I have…

I actually find that it's younger actors who tend to talk fast while mumbling - a deadly combo. And there's a reason why "mumblecore" is a cinematic genre (that has bled into the mainstream).

Agreed, I had to turn the subtitles on after becoming frustrated with rewinding and replaying (rewinding Hulu on the Roku is a horribly inexact experience).

Everyone who's speculating on who got Lucille'd is just rewarding Gimple et.al. for this POS episode and finale they put on screen. I'm sure their smug little faces brighten with each Internet comment. Just … no.

This was Bad TV 101. Gah.

Him throwing away the food AND the baking dish took me completely out of the show for that moment, and I said out loud "those glass baking dishes were *expensive* back then and she's on a school librarian's salary!"

You just made me remember I have donuts in the kitchen!

Agreed.

Um, Jane the Virgin is far and away the most critically praised CW show, and also very highly praised by critics of network television in general (with unprecedented mainstream award nominations and a significant win). And critics have been noting the CW for significantly upping its quality game in the last couple of…

I see that you are.

Property management companies require a copy of the service dog certification, which they keep on file for many and varied reasons related to state and federal law, as well as civil liability.

You're right, it was never addressed in the show, it's annoying as Hell that it was never addressed, and most people still wonder about it.

Are you fucking sick of basic decent manners too?

I hope not because that's a stretch, even for the Kings.

Thank God I was not the only one who found Zoe whiny in this episode. I also did not find her empowered, but instead pathetic and immature. She ran into Crane and did a whiny "woe is me" guilt trip/pity party and then she hunted him down to do the same thing, as 14-year-old girls do (wah wah give me my stuff back!).…

Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Each episode has people going rogue, Kendra complaining, someone getting "gutshot" and Rip bemoaning the mission and asking everyone if they're in or out, etc etc etc. This show is going down a boring route and the only decent character is Captain Cold and he can't carry what is supposed to be…

I am reasonably certain that the show is going to address this very thing and that her new suitor's racing career is intentional for this very reason.
