I want a Jocelyn episode.

Heh, yeah. Me too. Maybe because it was more of an ensemble episode? And there was a lot going on, too, so Linda wasn't in the spotlight the whole time. The guests were fantastic; I loved how they were all revealed to be as eccentric as Linda by the end. And the Louise–Gene–Teddy dynamic was perfect. "I'LL SEE YOU IN…

Nothing. It's a great episode. Jeffrey Tambor's baby talk to Kiki. Gene and PFT. (Oddly touching.) Linda, Tina, Louise all had enjoyable little adventures perfect for their characters. Chef Duval? "Kiss me." "Not now." "THEN WHEN?" Actually, I'm kinda shocked that so many (well, "many") commenters have an issue with…

Whoa. Hold on. "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl" was one of the best episodes of the entire series. And the end of "The Gene and Courtney Show" literally brought a tear (or several) to my eye.

You can get weed for Crohn's?? Where have I been??

That's very kind of you to say. I'm glad it resonates. It's my bugbear.

That kind of mindset is typical of her brand of activism. I'm 31. I realized I was sexually attracted to men when I was 11, started coming out when I was 14, and wasn't openly gay till college. Even now, situations arise in which I struggle with whether or not I should be honest about it. Just this past weekend, I was…

Wasn't this the second bomb to go off, too?

You suspend disbelief for a world in which zombies or vampires or whatever exist, but you still expect the world to respond to those threats in a way that'd seem believable. The Strain totally fails at it. I mean, the strigoi were confined to New York for awhile, right? You don't think the full force of our military…

Agreed. All five kids from Stranger Things. The little boy in Room deserved an Oscar. Pre-pubescent Dakota Fanning? The list goes on…

Yeah, production values were better than average. At the same time, the cheap shots are so obvious. When Zach, who's impervious to shockwaves, apparently, makes it to the ground floor (or maybe when Eph finally does?) and looks unsympathetically (or maybe it's supposed to be sympathetic; I don't know because the actor…

He does have some agency; there are many times where he's supposed to make important decisions (but always fucks it up). When he's with his mom, he's alternately one who needs protecting, yes, but one in mortal danger, too. And he's clearly in charge of the relationship with his strigoirl.
