She probably didn't think Huck was stupid enough to tell Meg that Jennifer was alive, let alone stupid enough to bring Meg to see her.

Yes this bothers me more than it should, because it's just sooo unrepresentative of reality. I didn't really notice it until beginning of Season 9, when the new group of interns consisted of three white girls, one black girl and one black guy, all 5 of them American-born (even though more than 25% of physicians and surgeons in the US are foreign-born) and I was like "Wait where's the Indian girl?" I live in the US and every time I have to choose a new PCP, the list of physicians is heavily comprised of Indian women. Where did these do their internships? Definitely not GSMMWSGH. I thought they might bring in a Middle Eastern character after April returned from Jordan (like maybe a Jordanian doctor) but we got another white guy instead (Riggs). They brought in a little Syrian boy who April had met over there (the kid with the crazy hand tumors) but no Syrian physicians. It was such a missed opportunity to add more diversification of culture, skill and perspective to the main cast. And then they introduced a new class of interns at the beginning of Season 12 and it was 3 white guys (there was a black female intern too but I don't think she even had a name). The most "diverse" intern they've ever had in this show was the old guy from one of the earlier seasons. They had a similar arc on Scandal and the abusive dynamic between the couple (who had been divorced for a while) was stronger than ever.

It hasn't been diverse in a long time. There are only two races represented (black and white) since Yang and Torres left, and throughout 13 seasons they've never had a single gay male doctor. It's not a very colorful cast.

Completely off topic here but something that always confused me about that scene is why the ceiling fan in the on-call room reminded Owen of a military chopper and triggered him to attack Cristina, yet the massive propeller fans in that air vent room "happy place" they spent to much time in never bothered him at all.

Apparently Bellamy Young (whose mother was an English teacher) once tried correcting a grammatical error in her dialogue, and Shonda curtly shut it down. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/bellamy-young-scandal-challenging-shonda-rhimes-lost/story?id=45993777 It probably pained Jessica (an English major) to read that line, but there was nothing she could not about it.

Didn't Annalise specifically call him out for this in the past though, suggesting that Christophe was his illegitimate son? I have no trouble believing Charles is the father, but the NYC scene is not the first time Wallace was confronted with the suggestion that he had a black son out there.

Wasn't S6E3 a Tom-centric episode?

Just trying to understand your logic.

This get-up was the most hideous of them all.

Who is telling you not to move on from what Asher did? Who is talking about Frank? Who is saying that this is not a show about getting away with murder? Who said anything about Michaela going down? What evidence is there that Sinclair was corrupt? Wasn't her murder what catalyzed the DA's corruption? How does wanting to get [legal] justice for murder victims make someone deserving of death? Doesn't that make her the good guy? She threatened to expose them for the crimes they committed, but does that make her "not innocent"? Isn't Annalise the one who leaked all that stuff on Judge Millstone? Isn't that why Asher killed Sinclair - because he thought she's the one who leaked it? How is Asher losing his temper and hitting Sinclair after she taunted him about his father any different from Toby losing his temper and hitting Jenny with a baseball bat after she taunted him about his appearance? Has Asher ever acknowledged that Catherine Hapstall is rotting in jail for a crime that he committed? Isn't that how he's getting away with murder? And why are you so angry? Everything I said in my previous comment about Asher - why he was drinking and what he has expressed guilt about - is objectively true.

That shows that he feels guilty for getting his friends in trouble. Not for killing an innocent woman. And he was drinking because he was grieving his father, not because he was thinking about all of the loved ones who'd be grieving Sinclair.

Sorry idk what you're trying to say here. Did you mean "I know why Charles was on trial" or "I wonder why Charles was on trial" (or something else)? They're kind of opposite statements so idk which to respond to. :)

The "key witness" that Charles Mahoney was accused of killing was his fiance, Vickie Moran, who'd agreed to act as an FBI informant in the investigation into the Mahoneys' hedge fund mgmt firm for embezzlement or money laundering or something white collar like that. That's why Charles/Vickie's murder trial was a federal case.

Idk, that's what Karla said somewhere. I think it was on a podcast.

Her mother is definitely alive. Laurel just spent the Summer with her in Mexico. And she had Christmas dinner with her father and family in Season 1 and it didn't seem like she'd been out of touch with him prior to that. I believe she "disappeared" on her father at the beginning of 2015, several months into her first year of law school. I don't see how she could have "disappeared" though since her father was bankrolling her tuition, rent, phone bill, flights to Ohio, etc. And since she spent the Summer in Mexico with her mother it's not like she completely shut out the whole family. That seemed dumb for him to say that she "disappeared" on him. And I don't think *he* had her kidnapped. She was kidnapped by people in Mexico and her father (in Florida) didn't pay the ransom because the government wouldn't let him. The US government does not allow American citizens to pay ransom in those kinds of situations, so it actually makes sense. Idk how she got away from her kidnappers though or how signing something that said she'd never been kidnapped would protect her father.

Who paid him the $2 million?

Nowalk couldn't do that because he used Annalise's house fire and a body inside as his starting point, and only decided on the victim, cause of death, killer and other events (e.g. Connor's involvement) from that night much later in the writing process. It was an incredibly stupid starting point and very poor story planning.

Frank also admitted to killing Wes.

lol isn't David Wallace the CFO of Dunder-Mifflin?

What about Wes & Meggy? They were my favorite.

Did you watch the second half of season 2?

Why did she call Wes to her house at 4pm and Laurel and Connor there at 9pm? And why wasn't she at home either time? Also what was the point of having Oliver hack the DA at 9pm on murder night? When he hacked the DA again for Bonnie a few days later, he seemed shocked to see what they were all being investigated for.

Catherine Hapstall is still rotting in jail for that one.

They were together for 3 weeks.
