Your response made me realize that of the three friends, Jane is my least favorite for the reasons you gave.

This episode dipped into the Jane-backstory-explains-her-present-trauma/bias well a little too soon and often after the revelations that Jane’s apprehension about getting tested for the BRCA mutation was a result of her mother’s breast cancer death and that her militant atheism was also a result of that death and her…
Might say more about me than the show but this season felt especially personal in the way our heroes, in struggling to regain magic, arguably a metaphor for the discoveries and joys of childhood, found greater meaning and purpose in each other and the bonds that make human life bearable.
“She killed Rennhull in self-defense, but she still killed him, and not in a way that can be hidden from her daughter like the naval officer’s death could.”
Normally our esteemed reviewer is not only keyed in but helpfully instructive, e.g. the meaning and significance of the period music used for relevant scenes, but that last paragraph completely missed the motivation and necessity of Elizabeth’s attack on M. Hanley, the aggressively pushy little thug from the Naval…
If you watch the scene again you’ll notice that she didn’t just stab him in the neck but worked the knife across his neck to ensure that not only the carotid artery was severed but the vocal cords as well to prevent him from crying out.
The only way I can watch this gobsmackingly stupid show with its turgid dialogue and disposable characters is in one corner of my screen while I work on other things to otherwise distract me from how much nothing or stupidity is on display at the moment.
I’ve watched this since the beginning and it seemed it like it had a story to tell but now the show just wants to make its characters and audience suffer as if suffering alone made for good or compelling drama, which it doesn’t, at least not in the hands of the TWD writers.
Her and the camera’s focus were on many things during the a-ha moment, including the cash register, the jukebox, and Cameron with her map, so it could have been any number of things, including streaming music, an e-payment system, or something like MapQuest.

“I hope that by the time my daughters are my age they don’t have to have gatherings like this one to remind themselves they’re here.”
Haley’s review of Star Trek: Generations was succinct, hilarious and spot-on.
“Novelistic” is a perfect description of the show not only for its writing but for its effect on viewers, and the stylistic flourishes, as our esteemed reviewer noted, rather than take us out of the moment, give the scenes greater poignancy, the artifice adding to the emotional authenticity.
I came to this show in the second season and found it extremely entertaining and at no loss for understanding since the plot was straightforward even if individual episodes were not.
Syfy’s been recently running earlier seasons and episodes of Z Nation, including the series pilot, and despite Murphy’s return to more typical <i>Homo sapiens</i> coloration as he was in the beginning, everything he’s gone through in those three seasons has in many ways made him more unrecognizable now than he was…
Didn’t realize how much I missed this show until this premiere.
The last episode was devastating, but because Gordon’s death came so suddenly, resulted more in shock and grief than the deep sadness we saw on display this episode.
I look forward to every new episode of Z Nation because I know it will be entertaining, thought-provoking, and even occasionally moving.
Stuck with this show since the beginning, originally out of curiosity but now out of spite and stubbornness in seeing it through to the bitter end, and as much as I despise the show for its recycling of plots, heavy-handedness, and ability to wring out the creativity from any appropriated public-domain character to…
She did great work on Reign and it’s sad to think she’s now in a supporting role on what will probably be the final season of a show that went on longer than it should.
