Yeah, he got off unrealistically easy—he should have at least been put on probation or had real work consequences.

Yeah, if I had known there was more Miss Martian and Livewire to be had, I would have watched the episode a lot sooner!

Also, Livewire is one of very few Supergirl villains who successfully attacked Supergirl psychologically (as Leslie before she got powers) and whose fights with Supergirl have always had ore grounding in Kara's insecurities. (Remember she needed Barry's help the 1st time to bring her down.)

It's because way back in Chapter 10 (this is Chapter 55), the LL narrator told us (correctly) Michael would love Jane until his dying day. The unreliable narrator concept sets up not just Jane's publishing job, but the idea of how emotionally powerful memories change in our minds over time. But it's contrasted with…

That was fantastic. I really would not have thought they could have pulled that off as respectfully as they did (and if I had been spoiled ahead of time would not have believed it), with such loving attention to the characters. And I appreciate that they skipped ahead forward so that we can mourn with Jane, but won't…

One last thing—I really love the reviewer's point that Jane's meddling is related to her upbringing as a mediator in the house. I hadn't thought of that, but it makes a lot of sense, and it's points like that that I makes me love these reviews!

Yeah, the Michael-goes-into-law plot has had enough unrealistic elements so far that I'm wondering if it's going to be connected to a telenovela twist later down the line.

Uber has been known for terrible business practices, including systematic problems with racial and sexual harassment and union-busting, for a long, long time.

But the Solanos have never been Latino on the show; they've always been Italian. (Don't you remember Emilio spending time in Italy during the first season? Or Elena's intense Italian accent? Or even Jane's family being shocked that he could speak Spanish in season one?) Luisa is Latina through her mother, but the…

I thought "“With my luck, one of my ancestors will manifest and turn out to be an axe murderer” was hilarious!

Jane and Michael are usually at their best when there's some conflict in their relationship and they have to work it out.

Yeah, it irritated me a great deal how much Jane was pushing the "do what will make you happy!" message—that feels impractical in a way that doesn't entirely feel in character for someone who grew up much closer to the financial edge. It feels like something a TV writer would believe and put in her mouth.

Also, can we get some praise for the cat-wrangler? I loved how often the cat shows up in Jane & Michael's home, a nice symbol of their current settled relationship, and damn, I was impressed and the good feline behavior.

I enjoyed this episode so much—I made me laugh out loud so often I lost track. OMG, the intonation on "ill-timed series of tiny consecutive strokes."

Sweet Heaven, When Will Someone Finally Murder Francatelli?: The Victoria Story.

Yes, PBS has the entire season up for members to watch at your own pace, and it's fantastic to be able to do so.

Welcome, Andrea! Excited to have you here.

I am really enjoying this ridiculous show, in large part because the messages it sends don't always seem to be the ones it intends. I'm sure it's trying to idealize Victoria, Albert, et al, but I come away from every episode giving thanks that our ruling structure isn't a constitutional monarchy and that I'm not in a…

And yet, they did not think at all about doing a story about slavery in which almost all of the victims, and all the victims with lines or even a silent moment in focus in the fight, were white, while the slave-ring is masterminded by a woman of Asian descent.

They even start to repeat her conversation with Chidi—asking if he will always back her and her confession that she doesn't belong—with the mailman guy, only to have the latter interrupt her by taking off his shirt to work out.
