Still Star-Crossed 1×07 Review: Some Shall Be Pardoned, and Some Punished

Since this is my last Still Star-Crossed review (I’m side-eyeing you, ABC, I really am), forgive me if I get a bit …maudlin. Contemplative, even. I’ve never pretended this show was a masterpiece, or even that it was attempting to…

70 Quick Thoughts from ‘Still Star-Crossed’ 1×06: Hell is Empty and All the Devils Are Here

Breaking Down ‘Still Star-Crossed’ Premiere Episode: Tropes, Tropes, Tropes

‘Still Star-Crossed’ Advanced Preview: Diversity, Drama and Tropey Fun

I must admit I approached this show with trepidation. I have a love/hate relationship with Shonda Rhimes in general, in that I love her brilliant mind but I hate how many times she’s broken my heart by taking away my…
