I hope we’ll see a lot more of Mj Rodriguez.

I saw someone say that Ella shouldn’t find out about the celestial until she dies and is greeted by God (Lucifer) in heaven... and is basically like, “Lucifer, why are you pretending to be God?” So now I love that idea lol.

• Did Maze choose the fake name “Steve” on the dating app just because it rhymes with “Eve?” Did Eve choose to even talk to Steve because it rhymes with her name? Did the writers choose “Steve” because of the old saying, “It’s Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve?” So now it’s “Steve” and Eve? (I’m sorry.)

I sobbed through the whole thing. Was it because of Pray, because of Angel’s dad, Cubby and Candy, the wedding, the song, or that we only have one more? I dunno. All the things. Literal sobbing.

I finally reached my breaking point last week, with YouTube now seeming to insert an ad before, after, and every four minutes within a video. I’m all for creators being able to monetize their work, but it’s too much. I broke. I installed UBlock Origin and it was immediately like all the noise on the internet faded away…

There also seems to be something...anachronistic about the entire wedding plot. I was in my early twenties in 1994, and I don’t recall, really, any political or emotional energy being expended over the thought of marriage equality at the time. I mean, that year I was dating a man who couldn’t visit his partner at the…

A suggestion, if I may:

It just doesn’t happen that often, like ever.

well; even in this “wish-fullfillment-y” fantasy; people are still dying of AIDS and being rejected by their family so.. I don’t think these characters should suffer all the time for the sake of realism. The show has always been a bit cheesy and soapy; but in a good; heartfelt; way.

It’s not remotely unrealistic. Ariel Castro held three women captive for  up to a decade  in a house that is less than two miles from where I’m typing this.

It clearly does happen, though. It may be uncommon, even rare, but it’s definitely a thing that happens. Ariel Castro, Gary Heidnik, the kidnappings of Colleen Stan, Jaycee Dugard, Elizabeth Smart, etc. It’s clear the whole show/town is a bit overstuffed with deep dark secrets, though.

A teenager who was his cousin! Ew. Ew. Ew. 

I’m old enough to remember when having a kid who happened to have two moms showing up in a kids show documenting actual families was grounds for national uproar. And their family wasn’t even the focus of the show, it just happened to show up. Cuz... that’s just reality. Some kids have two moms.

I really don’t get how a tidier resolution is more satisfying. Erin died because:

Another possible plot hole: we see Ryan steal the gun, shoot Erin, then return the gun all seemingly in the same night. And late at night at that. If that’s the case, is Powell just going into his tool shed multiple times a night to look at his gun? Because the way he described the missing gun to Mare, it sounded like…

But what if my children learn something about the real world and the real people in it? 

My bad; it was me who wasn’t clear.

Yeah, I wasn’t as clear as I wanted to be—I thought my comment in parenthesis would be clear that I agree with your point. But to Siobhan it DID seem like ghosting and her overreaction seems to indicate to me that they aren’t as ideal a couple as the reviewer thinks they are.

Now I’m sad we don’t have that episode (cry)

The episode was directed and photographed like one of those mini-musicals they often shoehorn into the final seasons of many shows these days — some for the better, and many for the worse — to better showcase the cast members’ real range of talents. They really should have gone this way: we could have had an…
