Question: if Thomas Abigail were in fact Abigail Thomas, would we be referring to her as Strand's lover? What is it about two men fucking that makes us forget that such couplings often describe themselves with mundane, run-of-the-mill labels like "fuck buddies," "friends with benefits," "boyfriends," "spouses," or

Absolutely. Hostess may own Marinela now, but the latter started as its own thing. Gansitos and Barritas (pineapple or strawberry; pineapple's my fave) are their most popular products. You will not be disappointed.

A quick explanation on the layout of Mexican cities: a section within a city, that is, what you gringos would call a "neighborhood" or "borough," is called a "colonia." When Luciana says that the cartel never followed her back to the colonia, she's referring to the Tijuana neighborhood the survivors are living in.

Gansitos are delicious, though. I don't fault Nick one bit.

Then again, people from the South work very hard at hiding their accents for fear of discrimination/ridicule (or so I've heard), and Madison may have only slipped up because she was tired/cranky/not really caring about pretending to be a Yankee anymore…

Good point. Fatigue is also a sign of many physical illnesses, like cancer, so I thought for sure that's how the late Mr. Clark would exit stage left. I thought, "Nick's dad's going to die of some terminal illness and he's going to feel like an ass for bitching about his dad being too tired to spend time with him."

So what exactly are the rules of Zombie Virus Transmission again? Cuz Nick's clothes were covered in crusty Walker blood when he got bit by the dogs. And speaking of dogs, they were covered in Walker saliva when Nick helped himself to the carcass buffet. Shouldn't he be feverish and close to turning by now?

House Greyjoy's words are "We do not sow." It's not like an Iron Islands-wide motto or anything.

I really don't see any malicious intent behind Sansa's keeping the Knights of the Vale a secret from Jon. I don't think she knew for certain that they were coming. They were kind of a Hail Mary and getting Jon's hopes up only to have Littlefinger screw them over would not have gone over well.

Her name is Cheryl and she's gender nonconforming. #KatyaZamolochikova

I'm a HUGE fan of this show, and the Sofa Queen ep is my second least favorite ep of all time. It's not quite Family Fracas bad, but it's up there.

Right? It's so bizarre it's funny. It's like, "Where did those come from?"

Also, this was a solid A episode for me. It made me laugh out loud the most out of many Bob's Burgers episodes this season.

I've been that girl before — the one who's so excited about 1) school, 2) space camp, etc., that she always has to raise her hand to answer the question. It's not hubris, it's passion.

I wonder if Jericho is friends with Kenny, Gene's 28 year old albino friend who does improv'd hip hop.

When Jimmy Pesto stuck his smug ass face through Bob's door, my stomach sank. I was ready to curse Loren's name for what I was sure would turn out to be another Family Fracas.

Right? All my PA's are highly trained snipers too.

I think the motivation is that Reed got inside his head. It's clunky, wasn't very well developed, and you're right, it doesn't feel organic to the story.

Perhaps the real estate business is a way to launder drug money, or maybe Tom's way of transitioning out of the family business. He doesn't strike me as someone cruel or ruthless enough to run a cartel.

Before Chris Hardwicke says otherwise, "Santa Muerte" is not exactly embraced by mainstream Mexican culture. It's mostly a Narco thing. Cartels use it as an excuse to justify their kills. Better to spin yourself as the high priest of some death saint doing its bidding than to just be a regular asshole killing people
