I don't really think Jude is being fair to Conner, who'd been a complete saint up until now. Sneaking out of the house to see him (and risking getting in trouble) WAS a real gesture to save the friendship; I'm not sure how that's less meaningful than standing up to his dad.

Looking at the street view again (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Gro…), it's pretty clear there isn't anything for sale, so I'm sorry I called it a "shop." But unless the pizza place went out of business or the Pointe After moved AGAIN, it is a store front between those two businesses. And the setting in this video…

Then he comes back RIDING A WHALE TO SAVE THE DAY. Greatest.

Please note: the Grosse Pointe Music "Academy" is a music shop with a storefront between a pizza place and a sports memorabilia store. It's not actually a school, though this performance probably took place at an actual school.

[What I thought when I started writing this post] Mike either killed Ana or beat her badly enough she's genuinely scared and is staying away. He'll go to jail and Callie's birth dad will step into the male, parent-age, sorta-parent role Mike's currently filling.

That'd be great! Would save me a ton of time coming up with self-deprecating answers in response to direct, specific questions (or "every time it's mentioned," I guess).

Two of his parents are cops and he bribed a witness. That's too stupid to wave away with "good intentions."

I'd be more willing to bet that Callie's existence winds up separating him from his terrible, wealthy wife, but the daughter, with some speed bumps, bonds with Callie. Is Madchen Amick available for the wife?

She was just playing it to the rafters and delivering laugh lines like she was on a Disney-Channel sitcom. She's just a kid, I have no doubt that in the next five years she'll grow up and figure it out, but it was just such a sour note in a show I otherwise really liked.

I still can't get over how great Jesus's girlfriend is after the actress didn't really show anything on Make It Or Break It.

Yes, it was.

The actress who's Callie's new sister was my least favorite part of Trophy Wife. She constantly mugs and overplays. She did get a little better as the season went on, and maybe she'll be better outside of a sitcom.

Hi, I'm the proud namer of Disaster Brandon (http://www.avclub.com/tvclu…. Thanks for asking and giving me a chance to brag about the closest I'll ever be to Internet famous! Great theme song.

Nope, Cronus was imprisoned in Tartarus (or Nyx), not killed. The gods, titans, and etc. were always imprisoned instead of killed. I'm just regurgitating this stuff from Wikipedia based on half-remembered names from seven years of Latin.

What I need is a reason why Frankenstein hasn't even considered killing his tormentor. I thought I'd been provided one, but if I'm mistaken about that, I'll just need a different one.

Eva Green has been uniformly awesome on this show, but I like the character a lot more when she was portentous and commanding than when she's excited about the cute boy who likes her. That's on the writers, not the actress.

Wikipedia doesn't have the castration as fatal. The question for the others is whether demigod and immortal are synonymous or if they can be one but not the other. Cruising around Wikipedia, I'm finding more modern examples of "immortal" meaning unaging-but-killable, but I think this show is taking its queues from…

Which Greek gods killed each other? It's been a while, but didn't they just imprison the Titans? Was there some sort of Olympian "end game" where Zeus finally killed Hades?

You're right, I don't know why they'd think he was unkillable when he killed Proteus pretty easily, but I still remember something from that meeting to the effect of "and you know it's pointless to try to kill me since it's not possible" and even maybe some "oh if only I could die, that would be great, but since I…

"Immortal" indicates you can't die, not that you don't age. Hence the "mort," and the myth about wishing for immortality and forgetting eternal youth and aging into a grasshopper.
