  1. Just a note for historical purposes, in the parts of North America that are former British colonies, people who were executed for witchcraft were hanged. There are some exceptions, but Puritans did not burn people at the stake. Burning at the stake was done mostly in Catholic countries as a punishment for heresy against the Church, which could include witchcraft.
  2. I normally hate class pet storylines. I’ve had mice and a turtle foisted on me before, and keeping the damn turtle clean was an undertaking worse than keeping twenty preschoolers occupied. Plus his enclosure was too big to move comfortably so he stayed at school and I had to figure out how to take him home during long breaks. Half the families wouldn’t take home the mice because they thought their cats would try to kill them, so I had to take them home over the weekend, where my dog definitely tried to kill them. Plus those cages are not large enough to be permanent homes, animals need more space than that and they need lots of stimulation. Constantly going back and forth between the schools and the different kids’ homes is also super stressful for them. Not a fan of the concept, no matter how great this episode was. Maybe we can spin Dwayne “The Pet” Rockson breaking open as giving birth instead of dying? Poor Gregory. He really loved that rock.
  3. They eat the glue and it affects their mucous production. Same as dairy products. Sorry, but you asked.
  4. Knew I was gonna loathe him when he put a full ceramic coffee mug in his car’s cup holder. Who in the universe doesn’t own a travel mug? Also, I thought the kiss would be a peck in the car before school. Not a full make out with ass grabbing in the middle of class. Bro. How were you going to justify that? No sell. I’m also pretty sure you can’t make a no fraternization policy that targets a specific employee. Either inter-faculty dating is permitted or it’s not.
  5. It’s the ER, she had most likely been admitted within a few hours of her death, the dog was probably not alone for a significant amount of time.
  6. Wow, I hate Rory. He already bailed when she needed him (ditched her on her birthday AND doesn’t answer her calls? Shit friend). Now he wants to hold her back because he has no follow through? She was right in the first episode to point out that their situations are not the same, so he’s trying to keep her poor while he always has the family cash to fall back on. So far, I’m siding with his dad.
  7. Phoebe Waller-Bridge had a one woman show that became a limited series called Fleabag, that was about a woman who was an utter disaster and treated her loved ones terribly. It got a ton of rave reviews.
  8. Hire this writer. Also, hire me. We need a flashback to a humid summer in Lenapehoking where Sass is outside, shirtless and sweaty while building a wigwam. For reasons.
  9. He’s also allowed to decompress at lunch. If he wants to let the kids hang out with him, he certainly welcome, but I never hang out with my students on my lunch break and never will. I’m a better educator when I can recharge, and I deserve my downtime as much as anyone else who takes their breaks at work. A huge problem I’m seeing in education right now is that districts and related services providers can’t hire anyone to fill roles for IEPs because they allocate a laughably low salary for the positions and no qualified candidates will even consider such low paying positions.
  10. They won’t stall production for that. Most likely just write in a convenient opportunity for Sam to be gone for an episode or two. But if she’s already pregnant enough to show, there’s an excellent chance that she’ll be back from maternity leave by the time they start filming season four. She’s likely to be in her second trimester if she’s made it public, so she should have the summer to recover before filming begins.
  11. Román Zaragoza looks like he gives good hugs, based on the last dream of Jay’s. Also, the ref’s shirt was doing a lot to show off his arms. In terms of plot, I do really need to see Sam do something really nice for Jay. Not in terms of gifts either, but go to bat for him the way he always does for her and the ghosts. I don’t really know what, exactly, but he gives the most of anyone in this cast, and they really need to give him some of the love they so freely get from him.
  12. Wasn’t there a joke on 30 Rock that wealthy 52 is middle class 38? Age shows different when you have a nutrient dense diet, easy access to healthcare, and certainty that you’ll always be able to provide a home for yourself and your family. I can easily buy that a 36 year old who struggled with substance abuse would be as weathered as Ethan Hawks is just because of the years passing.
  13. I kind of like that Bear and Jackie’s relationship was sort of casually confirmed. It’s refreshing to have a show just trust the audience. Other than that, no notes. This was a rare finale that perfectly encapsulated everything the show has been, from character to setting to plot. I’ve learned so much about grief and healing and community from this show, and hopefully will see all these creators taking on projects as beautiful as this. Mvto to them.
  14. Chvon is a Mvskogee term for boy in the same way that an English speaker would call a boy son in an affectionate/familial way. It’s Irene’s pet name for Cheese, but any elder speaking to a younger guy could use it. I think either Bucky or Brownie called Big that, because he’s a generation younger than them.
  15. Three generations. We got this episode with the current elders, Cookie’s generation is mine (born late 80’s/early 90’s) and then the current Reservation Dogs. From the struggles we’ve seen all the generations endure, grief, poverty, drug addiction, food deserts, limited healthcare, it’s no surprise that they’re wearing their age heavily.
