Another great recap (and I keep sounding like a broken record saying it again and again). Someone should offer you to publish all your recaps as a book. I think critical analysis would count as fair use, but my brain is tired right now, so I might be wrong.

I think the stress of "LIKES HIM that way" means "likes him alive," as opposed to a more euphemistic "likes him THAT WAY," but no lies would be detected either way.

I remember a critic's review of this episode bemoaned that they wished Alana had DIED rather than lose her sweetness and softness. It was a male critic. I nearly punched my monitor.

UGH. What the fuck.

*So* not surprized.

Okay, REALLY damn glad I didn't read that critic's review because I definitely would have punched my monitor.

I've seen most of the eps this season before my friend (she has toddlers to has to find time when they aren't hovering to watch) and I spent so much time this season texting her things like "NO SPOILERS, BUT ALANA IS AMAZING AND HER CLOTHES ARE DIVINE." "NO SPOILERS, BUT ALANA WEARS A VEST WITH NO UNDERSHIRT AND IS A TOTAL BADASS."

NO SPOILERS BUT ALANA WEARS THIS AMAZING DEEP-PLUNGING RED TOP THAT ONLY STAYS IN PLACE BECAUSE OF THE AMAZING DRAPE OF THE FABRIC.

AND IS A TOTAL BADASS.

Women just can't win.

If a female character is badass men complain.

If a female character is sweet, men complain.

If a female character go through character, men complain.

I really want to know just what the hell they *want*.
