Honestly, I wish Goffman had just admitted that he and the writers screwed up season two, spent too much time on Katrina, his favorite character, and had to do re-writes to course correct the last half of the season.
He might not come off looking like a master story teller, but at least its honest. I could have kind of respected that. But no...

I literally laughed out loud as the wife in the woods started on her "What is legality? Slavery was once legal! Slavery of PEOPLE!" rant, and Saul was just starring at her like "no...that's not going to cut it."
"Its like they say in Silicon Valley, its not a BUG, its a FEATURE"!
So this is how Saul will become SAUL I assume? Maybe by the end of the season, he`ll ditch Jimmy, and fully embrace Saul Goodman?
Whenever I see Saul interacting with anyone, I`m just going to assume its a con from now on.

Yeah, the evil turn was so hilariously abrupt. Maybe evil Katrina was always in the works, but I feel like it would have been more gradual and tragic, not just "Oh, ok, she`s evil now. Its ok to kill her." That being said...
Nanana. Nanana. Hey Hey Hey. Good Bye....

Ichabod Crane: It does not matter if its the American Revolution, or the year 2015,he is always charmingly befuddled by cell phones.

Abbie Mills is the American Dream! So says Ben freaking Franklin!
Ding Dong the witch is dead! You can just hear the writers going "fine fine, you win! No more Katrina, no more Crane drama, just the main characters that people actually like, fighting evil, and having National Treasure hi-jinks. Lets just pretend this little misstep of a season never happened, ok? Then you'll all come back, and say nice things about us again?"
So so good! THAT'S my show! All that was wrong has been righted! I know that when I think more about it, I`ll be more critical and skeptical of the next season, but for now, I am riding the high. YES!
Please let us see Ben Franklin again! I love how his reaction to meeting a woman from 2015 is just like "your a time traveler? Awesome! Hows the future? Which one of my inventions are still around? This is so cool!" like, instantly.

DAMNNNNNNNN! Say what we will about Fish, she is one hard core lady.
Butch has got to be up to something. I am so relieved that he didn't seem to lobotomized or totally broken. He`s probably just waiting for Fish to arrive again to spring into action.
So much happening!
Alfred! No!

I feel like, its almost like Philip and Elizabeth`s various seductions are just jobs to them. They never come of as sleezy, or even sexy, its just them doing what they think they need to do get the job done. This is all pretty disturbing, but we, the audience, know that Philip is just doing a job, without any actual sexual interest in Kimmy.
As to Paster Tim, I have never really gotten a creepy vibe from him, except that he`s a church guy on a TV show. Church guys on TV shows are pretty much always shady at best, predatory at worst, so I feel like the audience just expects it the second we see a church guy. Especially one that has strong political beliefs, or works with teenagers.

I really hope Val comes back again, shes amazing.
I totally related to the constant party hopping in this episode. I have had several friends who will drag everyone all over the place, constantly hunting social media and texting friends, looking for the best parties. Led to some REALLY interesting places...but sadly not as intersting as theirs.
That`s what I love so much about this show, its just a bit of an exaggeration of things lots of people do in their 20`s. Not big life changing things, just finding humor in random stuff that you might doing doing the week.

I really hope Wes isn't her son. It would make their weird sexual tension even weirder. Even Cicely noticed it, so the writers clearly acknowledge that its deliberate.
I cannot get over how real Viola Davis is. Not many actresses will get on TV without their hair and makeup looking great, and here she is, on a starring role on a major network, just going for broke. I have so much respect for her. I`m used to watching actresses look amazing even after fight scenes, or just getting out of bed, so to see Viola so stripped down makes her scenes even more powerful.

I think this show might have actually preemptively killed Maleficent for me. I saw the trailer and was like "This is going to a story about a badass female villain who is actually a sad wounded bird, who was hurt by those mean good guys, turns bad, then is redeemed by the love of a child who isn't biologically her`s isn't it? Good God not this crap again!" Granted, Maleficent isn't as annoying as Regina tends to be in her most self-pitting, and she actually had much better reasons to be pissed, but yeah. Maleficent is the Queen of Evil! I don't WANT her to be a misunderstood good guy. And ruining the awesome good fairy trio, by turning them into child neglecting morons? Unforgivable, movie!
I am looking forward to Cinderella though. Its getting good buzz, and I am in desperate need for some really good fairy tales.

Does Rowan just, like monologue to himself in the mirror all the time? Does he sit around and practice his big speeches, when he isn't running top secret government agencies and/or fishing? Did he make some poor agent sit their and listen to him practice his prepared DRAMATIC speech before he runs off to deliver it?

I do miss the good old days, when this show was about Olivia and her quirky friends covering up rich peoples dumb mistakes, with some soapy politics thrown in there. Olivia might have still been the presidents mistress, but I loved watching her take care of shit, while looking fabulous. Now its just kind of 24-lite, with better shoes, and more time for everyone to charge their cell phones.

I was finally getting on board the Rebecca/Wes train, then it looks like she`s shady after all. I still don't think she killed Lila though. No way would they reveal all that before the finale.
Connor and Oliver are just so freaking cute it makes my teeth hurt. In a good way. I loved Oliver saying that they murder posse are obviously friends, then they're enthusiasm to finally meet him. Michaela was adorable in that scene. Her and Connor just need to become BFFs already.
A lot of talk about rape in this episode. Not sure what exactly we were supposed to take out of all of it.
Annalises real name is Anna Mae? Interesting.
I cracked up when Bonnie was yelling at everyone to listen to her, and then Annalises Mom shows up, and sends everyone scampering around picking stuff up, yes mam`ing all over. Smart choice guys.

I too, enjoy the lack of romance, as of now. The show has been way more interested in building up her platonic, but still important, relationships that Peggy is making, be it making friends, or just gaining respect. And it would make sense that it would take her while to really start looking for love. Losing Steve is still clearly raw, and she is still dealing with the loss. Whoever turns out to be Peggy's future husband, whether we have met him or not, I am pretty sure he wont officially reveal himself for at least a little while more.
Remind me. In Winter Soldier, when did Peggy give the interview when she mentioned her husband?
And I am still kind of weirdly convinced Thomson is going to get together with Angie. And I am totally ok with that.

I so knew it would be Steven! Henry Ian Cusick is always welcome on any show, ever. Glad to see him wonder over from The 100, even if it was just for a little bit.
At least Abbey admitted that killing Liv as a last resort was the right call.
This show...
So refresh my memory--the guy from the 100 was in the first episode...?
His character, Steven, was an attorney who was a member of Livs team in the first season. He left between seasons one and two.

God I love The 100. So freaking intense and well plotted! Its basically abandoned all its CW love triangles, and is going for straight up political and survival drama. No weak links in the cast either. There`s no pointless subplots, no filler episodes, no pointless characters. Its just so freaking good!
I have not had a chance to watch the last two episodes of Empire (plan on doing it really soon) but I really enjoy it. Its kind of soapy, but I really enjoy the characters and the plots. There is a lot of potential to get deeper I think. They have already touched on class, race, homophobia, mental illness, and crime, so I hope they keep a good mix between soapy fun, and the more intense issues. And Cookie is just the bomb dot com!
The show I am probably most into right now is Shameless. Without a doubt one of the best ensembles on TV, and, at its best, perfectly walks the line between broad comedy and intense drama and character work. The last episode was, to me, one of the best the show has ever done!

The idea of the show replacing Felicity as the leading lady with Laurel is just so nonsensical. Normally, I worry about a show listening too much to fans and critics, but in this case, they made the right call. Felicity just worked better as a main female character/love interest than Laurel, and it seemed like everyone was happy with that. Laurel worked a lot better as a friend/ally on the traditional side of the law than as a love interest. But now they seem like they are going back, for no reason whatsoever.

That would be awesome! I would love an episode like The Zeppo from Buffy, where we see a big dramatic episode, but all from Zanders point of view, while he`s off having his own goofy adventure. Do a typical Once style monster attack, but from the point of view of Dr. Whale, or Gypetto, or just some random towns-person. Play it for drama, about how the issues of the non Charming`s are being ignored, or play if for comedy, like showing how ridiculous the shows plots and characters can seem from the outside.
Or see some kind of support group, where they all talk about how hard it is to adjust to living both a fairy tale life, and a modern one, or they just sit around and complain about all the crap they have to deal with. Maybe wonder why the woman who might have killed their loved ones is just walking around, palling around with the king and queen? That would be amazing.

The show has never really been great about the "needs of the many". It has never cared about the large masses who we never got to know, or don't know as well, as much as the main characters, even main characters like Regina, who have gallons of blood on their hands. This will pretty much always find a way to weasel out of making hard calls, or do what they did with Snow, and have her proclaim over and over how killing Cora was so horrible.
Where is Mr. Spock when you need him?

"In ten years we're all gonna' look Puerto Rican.!" I love Charlie.
This show is so consistently funny every week. Plus the #LovingMyDaddysGrilledCheese was so weirdly sweet! Dre looked about overcome with joy.
I agree about loving Bow and Dre. They seem like a real couples that have been together for a really long time, and like to tease each other and laugh with each other, and are really comfortable with their relationship.
Dre being super impressed by Jr. knowing how to use Facebook and Instagram was perfect. My dad is consistently amazed by how easily I can do really basic stuff on Facebook. I just let him think I`m a tech genius too.

My friends mom actually met Stephen King on a plane once! Except she had never heard of him, and only realized he was famous when she mentioned him to my friend. She said he was really nice and friendly, but seemed a bit tired.
Pet Semetary and Storm of the Century freaked me OUT.
-
My favorite scene of this episode? Was actually when Annalise started going after the prosecutor, and basically pulled her last verbal punch, and the mob boss and the mob clan were all cheering and shooting. I thought they were going to break out into the wave or something!
Team Murder will hopefully stop looking so dang guilty all the time now. I get that they can play this off like its just a stressful time, but they all look like they're teetering on the age of a major league breakdown.

The more they said "van people", the more I laughed. Especially when Bev freaked out about seeing a V being written on the paper by the counselor.
Please tell me Barry dramatically driving the van around while screaming the A Team theme is going to become a running things.
I felt bad for the teacher. I totally knew teachers growing up who took the teasing of students WAY seriously, and would get really discouraged. I was happy Adam made him a replacement cake. Nothing wrong with being nice!
Adams an Andrew Dice Clay fan! Who knew?

Phil is just the nicest guy ever. I used to think he was a pain in the ass man-child, but now I find his enthusiasm enduring as hell. If Claire hated hanging out with Phil s friends, I think she should have said she didn't want to go, instead of getting all passive-aggressive and taking the best seat. I did love the increasingly impressive tricks of Penn Jillette! He really is a sorcerer.
I like Gloria, but I wish she had actually learned some kind of lesson in this episode. Her satisfied little smirk at the end annoyed the crap out of me.
Always happy to get a Pepper appearance! He`ll be in Capri all of July!

You know, I`m actually really sad that Ava and Boyd have really gone south. I really liked their smarter, and more well organized Bonnie and Clyde thing. They seemed like they really loved and understood each other, in a way no one else really had before. Ava is at her best when she`s bad, not when she`s needing to be saved by Raylan. One of the show`s greatest villains ever was a woman (Mags), and they have plenty of other bad, or morally ambiguous women, so why not let Ava stay gray?
I really want to know more about whats`s going on inside her head. Is she really interested in Raylan again, or just falling into old pattens, or is she manipulating him? Or all three? I really want to know if she feels any guilt at all for turning against Boyd. Like I said, I really felt like they loved each other for quite awhile. Yeah, she`s angry he dropped the ball while she was in prison, but feelings like that dont just go away. I really feel like this is going to come up later in the season, for good or for ill.
