I agree with you while Patrick was in town but I think after Patrick left and dropped communication, I don't think Richie would have needed Brady as any sort of shield.

The movie had a tough job. It does work best on those "runaway" episodes and since the purpose of this movie largely seemed to be to bring Patrick and Richie back together, a full 90 minute slice-of-life episode primarily featuring the two of them would've likely been perfection as the "date" episode and Modesto as…

No. But it was consistent with the character from season 2. And Brandon is dead on when he said Richie would've dumped this guy sooner unless it was Patrick who was especially triggering to him.

Most people I knew preferred Diane to Rebecca. I did. And I preferred those early Diane years. They're the ones that I'll rewatch.

True but fertility can come back after chemo. It can just take a long time and there's no guarantee which is why suggestions are made to freeze sperm.

"A concept not a person." That's a perfect description and probably gets to why I've struggled with how he has been written since they reunited. Because even their reunion felt very conceptual and plot-motivated. She gets drunk one night, kisses Michael and realizes he's "the one." She has a dream/fantasy and has…

Do what? Exposing what Michael actually did?

I guess it depends on when the expiration date is. For me, it was last year. For others, it's this year. For the show….who knows?

Raf didn't hate Michael when he made the offer and has backed off his objections to the relationship.

But the look on her face when she walked down the aisle looked anything but happy. Maybe it's a fantasy (maybe both scenes are) but the look on her face isn't the "I'm marrying the love of my life" face one would expect her to have. At the same time, I'm not sure why Rafael would cause it when he hasn't caused it…

I really don't see why people think it's beneath this show. If it were beneath this show, they wouldn't even have two viable love interests for Jane which pretty much always says "here's a triangle, deal with it.". Or they never would have explored Jane and Rafael last season. They could have made him actually…

To your first point, not only that but she wouldn't accept Rafael's help to get a house in Miami and yet her whole family, and maybe even Michael? is living presumably rent free at the Marbella.

I guess I preferred Michael last season and even in the beginning of this season. At least that guy had flaws and insecurities to overcome.

I felt the same way you do now except for me, I felt it last season. She had chosen Rafael and repeatedly told Michael it was over. I thought that was refreshing. But then we had the final two episodes where things shifted back to Michael.

OT but the Grinder made fun of this trope last week where something happens in a side story that ends up solving a mystery in the "main" story. I found it hilarious when Michael had his epiphany.

Probably a not-dead Rose/Sin Rostro.

Jane can be self-righteous and I've been dying to see her make a huge mistake as it seems everyone else seems to make mistakes she has to deal with. It'd be great to watch her have to deal with real consequences for a major mistake. However, when she dumped Michael, he was far from perfect. In fact, it wasn't until…

I think it actually started losing its way last season too. In the beginning, it was pretty focused up to the Sin Rostro reveal. Still, the show overall was building towards Mateo's birth and it propelled it towards the end of the season. I think not getting rid of Sin Rostro sooner was a mistake but at least when…

Where did the accent come from?

Do you think this show is sex positive? I've kind of felt the opposite. Abuela has had some negative opinions about pre-marital sex that Jane has seemed to internalize to the point she practically has a nervous breakdown when engaging in a no-strings thing. I think it's fine that she wants to be a virgin until…
