I think Sunny just got defensive since 1) she's the only one there who's been through IVF (which is a very difficult process. Besides the monetary cost, there's also the physical toll it takes, as well as the emotional) and 2) the rest were all being very dismissive of the idea that embryos could be considered children. I highly doubt any of them would say to a woman that's suffered an early miscarriage, "Well, it wasn't a baby anyway", so I feel they could have been a bit more sensitive on this topic. Do I think somebody should be charged with accidental death to a minor (or whatever the charge was)? No, though there should be some kind of consequence. I am disappointed though that the panel couldn't acknowledge that this is a complicated issue and discuss how this situation would be similar/different to the cases where someone who kills a pregnant woman is charged with double homicide and what the implications of the ruling would be going forward.

Is the show supposed to be set in current day? If so, then if the character is 40, she would have been twelve in 1995.

I was worried when they went down into the ice caves and were just wandering around without marking anything so they could find their way back. Like, bring a ball of yarn with you, at least? Breadcrumbs? No one knew they were down there so had they not found that secret lab with its ladder, they probably would have gotten lost and died. And I wish we could do polls because I'd be interested to know how many people think Navarro was alive at the end and how many think she was dead and how people's views of things overall affected that. For me, they make a point of saying that it's the first day of sunlight (or whatever), so everyone seems happier and moving forward so I assume that Navarro's going on some kind of vision quest where she's going to reconnect with nature/her ancestors/all those ghosts that she sees and just drops into town to say "hi" every once in awhile.

But let's be real. Jimmy was excited as hell when Chelsea said people told her she looked like Megan Fox so obviously, he's into that look. Back in my single days, I used to ask dates what their top two celebrity crushes were (I believe the Millionaire Matchmaker also used this strategy), since it would give me an idea of what they were looking for both physically and personality wise.

The Billie Eilish song is supposed to be about a "monster under the bed" from the monster's perspective. So you could interpret that to be a literal monster or something monsterous that a person is dealing with (addiction, abusive relationship etc). I've always found that song to have a very dark, malevolent spirit vibe to it, so to me, it fits the show. From what the creator of the season has said, I think her intention was that Navarro had been scared to go out on the ice before because of all her ghosts (literal and figurative) and was afraid of what would happen to her/what she would do if she went out there, but now that she's made peace with that part of herself (her ability to see dead people? Her acknowledging that she sometimes has suicidal thoughts but that doesn't mean she has to follow through with them?), she can go out on the ice unafraid. She doesn't want to say for definite that's what the ending is though, since some people are interpreting it as Navarro died and is coming back as a ghost to visit Danvers and she feels that art is open to interpretation. That's how I'm understanding it, anyway. As for Annie's murder, that happened in the underground lab. We see Clark hearing Annie being murdered and he climbs down the ladder into the lab, where he finds the one scientist stabbing her (after she trashed everything down there). He pulls the attacker off, but by this time the other scientists have made their way down there and they continue with the attack. The stuff with how the scientists died and the lab lights/temperature, I'm chalking up to Annie K's ghost was doing a bit of haunting. In the finale, when Navarro is trying to fix something at the lab (the heat? the lights?), we see a woman flash behind her in the background. Navarro doesn't see this, it's just the audience so I took that to mean that Annie K was still hanging around, making sure that the truth about everything was known.

I liked it. I'm cool with the explanation of the scientists killed Annie, so the local women killed them, but there was some supernatural stuff going on in the background as well (Annie K's tongue, Navarro seeing ghosts). The only part I didn't buy is that the woman with missing fingers would tolerate an abusive boyfriend. If you're the type of person who participates in a vigilante murder raid, I don't see you taking it from an abusive boyfriend. Also, I would have preferred if they gave a better explanation for how the women found out. Just finding the murder weapon wouldn't have told them that all the scientists participated in the murder. Would have made more sense if one of the scientists kept a journal that the women found and read while searching for more evidence. Or, instead of Hank being the one to move the body, the abusive boyfriend had been hired to do it instead and at some point drunkenly confesses to the missing fingers lady. Secret security footage would have worked also. Just something to provide the women with more solid evidence.

I do get where the comparison comes from because when Chelsea was saying that people tell her she looks like a celeb, I said, "Megan Fox" before she did. I think it was something about her eyes and the angle she was at. That being said, it's not as if she's a look alike and her overall look plus her body type are so far from Fox's that I would never put that out there if someone hadn't seen me yet.

Let's be real though, Jimmy went over and talked to AD after first saying. "Hey, check out her ass!" He's a creep. Also, he's so full of crap. His going on about how his relationship is going to smoothest when there are so, so many issues. You could tell AD was just tolerating his drunk butt and that fool just kept going. Chelsea's ridiculous in that she chose "woe is me" Jimmy over Trevor, whom she actually seemed to have fun with. It's like Trevor was too into her, so she went with Jimmy, who she constantly has to seek validation from. Let me save you some time, Chelsea, he's just not that into you.

First off, Brittany was wearing either way too much makeup or way too harsh of makeup in the pods because it is a night and day difference now that they're on the beach. She actually looks her age and so much better! Chelsea needs to end it now because Jimmy's uncanny ability to say all the wrong things is giving her issues. She so obviously is feeling insecure while he's out there making inappropriate comments about other women's bodies. And while we're on the subject, poor AD! First Clay is saying that he'll order her to the gym if he feels she's gotten out of shape, then Jimmy feels the need to talk about her butt, then there was the entire "bean dip" incident. She handled all of that with a crazy amount of grace and restraint, when honestly, so many apologies were owed to her.

So I'm only to the part where they first get to the honeymoon but Jimmy can suck it. Going on and on about how hard this entire thing has been for him, being a Debbie downer during his "first look" with Chelsea, then going on about Jessica to Chelsea and how upset he was that Jessica got mad at him. You're a grown ass man! Boo hoo that somebody got mad with you. Then to bring up that Jessica said she was hot and he was going to regret dumping her? My husband's on the couch next to me and the entire time he's just going, "Dear God, man, what are you doing?" And yes, while I think it was dumb of Chelsea to say that people tell her that she looks like Megan Fox (cuz girl, no) and put that expectation in Jimmy's head, he's being such an ass that I just don't care. She should have picked Trevor, at least he seemed fun. *Edit: Forgot to add, Jimmy blaming Chelsea for Jessica getting mad at him by saying that she wasn't supposed to tell anyone that he said he loved her? What kind of bull poo is that? I hope she leaves him...preferably by the end of this episode.

Matthew just got weirder and weirder as it went along. The whole "America is rooting for me", followed by him leaving and saying he's going to go look for Amber. WTF? I find it so odd that we didn't see any of their interactions in the pods. I've seen some speculation that the two of them were plants and there's part of me that kinda believes that because why not show some of their dates? Sidenote: How has Netflix not figured out by now that every time a new season is released, they should sell those golden goblets and some Love is Blind themed wines? It would be so easy! $15-$20 for two glasses or tumblers, plus $15-$20 for the wine. Make a deal with Target, put it on a kiosk, and boom, easy money.

In my opinion, you shouldn't even be on this show if you have kids. It's completely irresponsible. If you as an adult want to roll the dice and marry someone after knowing them six weeks, then fine but dragging a kid into that? No way. Having a step parent is a major life adjustment and the fact that the kid will have zero time to adjust to the idea or really get to know that person before having to live with them? How traumatizing is that? And wouldn't you want to make sure the person isn't a creeper or at the very least actually gets along with your kid? I'm a parent and there is no way on earth that I'd even do something so reckless and insensitive to my kids.

I am so disappointed in Matthew! I was feeling his and AD's little love story and thought his early awkwardness might be due to autism or something. But that ending? Where she found out he was saying the exact same lines to the other chick? My hat off to you, editors, because I did not see that coming! What a jerk! I also felt bad for the guy who found out that Lady#1 that he'd been talking to had a kid and then right after finds out that Lady#2 had been married before (sorry, I can't remember any of their names). I feel that he was so thrown by getting big news like that back to back that he was too emotionally exhausted to respond well to Lady#2, who will now probably end up with the big dude with the bad 80s haircut. Good start to the season though. Not sure how much love will be found but at least everyone's interesting, so far.

I mean, her husband's Taika Waititi so dressing up as Shrek is pretty on brand for him.

I love Love is Blind! My husband and are going to start the new season tonight after the kids go to bed. We just finished the Swedish season and that was wild!

I believe what the issue was was that the boy was wearing a chain that the girl didn't like so apparently the girl and Melissa (who was involved in this, for some reason) had been giving hints that he should get a new chain that the girl would like instead. He was saying in front of Gregory how him getting this chain for himself would be a present for his girlfriend and Gregory said that that was a bad idea (unaware that this was what the girlfriend actually wanted), since on the surface, it does just seem like a selfish gesture. Honestly, I was bothered by how much the teachers were getting involved in the romantic relationships of middle schoolers. I'm with Gregory on this one. Those kids are too young for relationships and should be concentrating on other things.

I think with deaf children, a lot of times the parents will send them to specialized schools for the deaf, where everyone uses ASL and the majority of teachers are deaf as well. Also, due to cochlear implants, there are less deaf children using ASL so she might be the only one in the district (or one of many few). One of my kids is in a special needs class and its been my experience that while the individual aides and teachers are very dedicated to the students, the schools and districts overall don't really make them a priority.

What's most baffling is that I pulled up the episode where they do the DNA test and Sunny's came back with 36% European (or something close to that) and they broke down that most of it was from Spain, so she knew that she was about a third Spanish. It's also odd to me that she said her mother had always put "black" down for race. I'm sorry, what? Why would she do that? And in her memoir, Sunny talks about how her mother's side always referred to her as "negrita" (little black one) since she was darker than them. So why is she so surprised that she's part Spanish? I just can't! Especially for someone like Sunny that claims to be so into their heritage. If you never cared about your heritage and had never given it a second thought, then fine but it's weird to me that Sunny never connected the dots to how Spanish her Puerto Rican side was.

It's obviously Prior's wife's grandma. She's been skulking around in the background all suspicious like this entire time.

Yes, in my last post I concentrated on Jane not bringing up Max but John not bringing up that his mom's place was almost blown up was also nuts. I think I didn't concentrate on that as much since they didn't reveal it was his mom's place until much later in the episode (and he was able to defuse the bomb before it killed anyone). I assumed it was a place he was renting after he moved out of his and Jane's place. The fact that he thought Jane put a bomb in his mother's house and didn't lead with that when they first met back up is ridiculous.

It would be very unusual for someone to not shoot with their predominate hand. Especially since their story was that he'd already shot himself before they got there, so it's not like he was reaching for the gun with the only free hand he had available. Same with punching, in most cases, you're going to use your predominate hand. So either Danvers or Navarro shot Wheeler, then after the fact they realized he was left handed, so it would be suspicious if he shot himself using his right hand. So they flipped the previous evidence photos, then claimed all the other files were lost in a flood (whether they set up said flood or there had been a recent one in the evidence room, I don't know), so any documentation of him being left handed would be erased from the case. The guy was a known abuser so probably no one felt a need to look into it until Prior.

Eh. This was very anticlimactic for me. This was the first episode where John and Jane just kinda seemed too dumb to be spies. In the previous episode, they knew Hihi had been manipulating them but they don't take that into account when Jane gets shot at or John's mom's place is rigged with explosives? Then Jane takes forever to bring up her murdered cat. If I thought someone murdered my cat, that'd be the first thing I'd say to them but Jane beats around the bush even after they'd taken the truth serum. Then the double date Smiths show up and even though they're on mission fail #3 and that couple has admitted to taking out other Smiths in the past, John and Jane just walk right up to them, as if they're obviously not there to kill them. By the time we got to the ambiguous ending (which has been done to death), I was just kinda rolling my eyes and waiting for it to be over. I enjoyed this season overall but the last few episodes were a dip in quality for me so I'm hoping next season will do better. PS. Why would anyone think it's a good idea to bring a baby into this situation? The fact that that was even a discussion was bonkers to me.

I just kinda turn my brain off for those parts because honestly, most of their missions don't really make sense. It's more about them trying to figure out how to carry out the mission, than why the mission exists in the first place.

I really liked this episode but found myself annoyed with all the couples. With Melissa and her boyfriend, they're in their freakin' 50/60s, stop making jokey comments about marriage and have an actual, serious conversation. That entire, awkward situation could have been avoided. As for Gregory and Janine, I am so over them. Just have them be together or move on. I feel that they got them together way too soon so now they're having to come up with BS reasons for them not to be a couple.

People like this always confuse me. Like, has Sunny not seen her mother? She's even referred to her mother as "white" before, so where did she think that whiteness came from? If you're Hispanic, odds are you're a mixture of Spanish and Native American, sometimes with black thrown in the mix. It's just so weird to me that people could be so ignorant, especially about their own heritage.
