You really only get one shot at catching a show there. They tend to cost an arm and a leg.

Oh, Michael Che's in this?

4/12—Tobin Center for the Performing Arts—San Antonio, TX

Let's be fair here. Goldie Hawn can't look terrible.

On a scale of 1-5, how unintentionally racist will this movie be? On a scale of 1-10, how intentionally racist will this movie be?

Well, not after Malvo got through with 'em.

Rachel Keller gives a great interview. I'm so ready, ready, ready for this show to get here.

I've watched telenovelas since I was a child. I, uh, still think Jane the Virgin could've used their marriage as a springboard for interesting stories. Hell, if they wanted to play with its extreme trappings in a way that could still bring conflict, why not have him be lost at sea and presumed dead? You could

I'm not happy. I'm really, really not. Frankly, I was ready for Michael to die from the gunshot wound at the beginning of the season. I had prepared myself, but then the writers faked us out. Then we got all these episodes showing a healthy relationship that feels so rare on TV these days. I get why, dramatically

I hate, hate, hate the Luisa and Rose storyline. It's become such a chore to watch her lapse into Rose's arms over and over and over. She deserves better! Surely she's got stories that exist outside of Rose's orbit.

Cinnamon gum is…is my favorite.

I mean, Christ, it sucks that the movie languishes so long on the "internet is bad for kids" kick. The reveal about the one girl's mental illness could've dovetailed nicely into a broader discussion about the criminal justice system and mental health catenary for kids.

Shit, man. Patton Oswalt seems like good people. Every time a story about the passing of his wife, my heart breaks all over again for him and his daughter.

Trent, ah man, I love Trent. His "Totally!" is the most gif-able part of the episode. So good.

My girlfriend and I looked at each other during that part and I had to pause the episode for a bit. It messed us up.

It did nu-metal (or Slipknottish metal, anyway) nearly perfectly. Just a little whisper bridging each bit of hoarse screaming.

I like Nathaniel, and I like his chemistry with Rebecca, which is sort of Greg-ish, but yeah, I can imagine them zagging. He and Valencia would be a fun pair, especially if she's set on the path of starting her own business.

Everyone else pretty much got at what I liked about this episode-which I found fan-freakin'-tastic-and my minor issues with the season at large. I'm left hoping that Heather and Hector and Hector's mom hang out in season three.

Heather caught that action mid-run, gave a slightly grossed out look, and kept going.

This show becoming a deep, deep cesspool of despair is hurting my enjoyment of it. There's uh, nothing that makes me care if they get out of it, which isn't a good thing. Hell, even Oliver, who I loved as a character, isn't safe from this feeling. His freak out didn't evoke any real sympathy from me because he spent
