I can answer that! I am not rich or famous but my mom has always hated her face, especially this inherited fat pad under the chin so that no matter how thin you are, you always have a double chin (the full moon face of a slavic maiden). When I was young she had surgery to remove it but my face also looks like that.…

Bringing Michael back was a huge mistake that hurt the series. They had a happy marriage, she moved on beautifully... and kinda seems like the show wanted a huge cliffhanger before S5 so they wrote a resurrection plot (that didn’t really make sense under scrutiny) which cheapened everything.

Well, Jane is definitely going down the road “terrible final season”. There hasn’t been an episode I loved, and honestly, this whole Michael plot has felt like such a waste of time. What was the point? It wasn’t to please Michael fans since, as a Michael fan, I liked his story better when he was dead(though the show…

Finally, a Ghost sighting!  

I thought Raf handled things at the end fairly well. Kicking Jane out may seem rough but there are worse ways it could have gone. Jane is at the crossroads of a really big decision and stalling on it - which is totally understandable for her to do - turns Rafael into a jerk and he is aware of how bad he gets at such…

-Seeing Xo collapse was so upsetting! Glad it was “just” overexertion after her treatment and not worse cancer.

I was skeptical of bringing Michael back and reviving the love triangle in this manner, but I admit, if nothing else, I really have no idea where the writers are going to take this, and that’s an exciting feeling as we head toward the finale.

I kind of saw the River story as a reference to Howard McNear from The Andy Griffith Show, who suffered a stroke that left half his body paralyzed and was only filmed from one side afterwards.

I actually don’t mind the child as much. Thing is, it’s really easy to look past Carrie’s clearly presented flaws because she’s the protagonist and all. I don’t know that the child did much in past seasons but as it is right now, it really gives a sense of exactly how negatively those flaws impact other people’s…

I know it’s irrational given that plenty of humans die, and I could see it coming, but I’m still pissed that Mews the cat bought the farm, and especially in such an ugly and upsetting way. Cats and dogs shouldn’t die in gruesome ways in TV shows. You want to depict a zombie apocalypse where all the humans get their…

Hey can we maybe not have the image of the brutally murdered cat? it’s the most upsetting visual in the entire series thus-far and God knows I didn’t want or need to have a pictorial reminder of it.

That partially shaved bear is having a seizure toward that nice lady. Someone should do something.

Never forget!

Unfettered. That is my response. It does relate to the human condition whereby we, as humans, approach life with preconceptions. Michael’s on the other hand is the voice of reason. A human with Vulcan schooling and cultural experiences though she clearly has human emotions weighing her down as we glimpsed in the…

Why is this show using the amazing tardigrade as some sort of monster? What’s wrong with these people? 

Oh, and Commander Landry dies for no damn good reason.

It just wants to play.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Even better, Burnham reciting Alice is a deep Trek continuity nod. The fact that Amanda was fond of Lewis Carroll and read the Alice books to her offspring was established in The Animated Series: “Once Upon a Planet” by Len Janson & Chuck Menville, when Kirk expressed surprise that Spock was familiar with the…

I am always impressed by the direction of hetero female desire on this show. All Jamie did in Claire’s fantasy was walk away, turn, smile, and walk back to her and it was one of the most sexualy explicit and erotic things I’ve seen on premium cable.
