Teso dos Bichos:

Kitty cats aren't all that nice

Sometimes they eat more than just mice

They dug up a curse

Now left off for worse

For a professor he's sure not too wise

This is definitely one of my least favorite episodes. First of all I hate cats. I won't go into details about how much I hate cats though I assure you I could. OK the teaser for this episode wasn't all that great. I think maybe the first time I saw it I may have been interested just because there's nothing obvious in it that makes you think the monster is just a really ugly pissy cat. One thing that kind of gets on my nerves is how whenever there is any Spanish in an English movie or TV show the lines they are saying seem so fake just because they are 100% perfect in their grammar. Nobody talks like that! Anwyay that's not that big a deal.

The only possible thing I could say other than that is that the character (possibly just the actor) of Mona also drove me crazy throughout the episode. Especially the scene where she goes to Bilac's house and they argue and she leaves crying. I don't know why but she just bother's me so much in this scene. Anyway, I think that if they had made the evil spirit an actual jaguar like creature rather than just being a bunch of stupid house cats or even some other type of animal then I might have liked this episode a little better. Then again I love dogs but I still hated Alpha as well. I think the animal episodes are just typically bad all together. 3/10
