Agreed. Not all chemistry is romantic chemistry.

True facts

Objection: A Real Lawyer Fact Checks How to Get Away with Murder It covers a lot of stuff already mentioned in this thread, but it's still a fun read.

I initially thought this, too. But then how is leaving her in a home with a possible murderer protecting her?

Wow - that was the dumbest trial ever. It was nice to see Jason Gedrick, though. This is a problem on shows from the Shonda stable: they like to leave blanks for the audience to fill in. The problem is I am not invested in any of these characters enough to do that filling in. Also, it ain't my job since I'm in the audience. I still think Nate (Annalise's boyfriend) is hot.

That and Abby scoffing at Olivia suddenly caring about ethics were my favorite parts of this episode.

Iker Cassillas' bad year continues: Spain lost to 2-1 to Slovakia in Euro 2016 qualifying.

The show has gotten the full-season order from ABC.

This episode still scares the shit out of me.

Not a big fan of international breaks - or maybe I just hate the way the breaks are scheduled for this early part of the season.

JustaPerson, thanks for asking. I'm better than I was on Saturday-lol. I don't know what to say about Everton's performances this season. Our best game so far has been against Wolfsburg - the Bundesliga's last-place team. As for Chelsea-Arsenal, of course I was rooting for the Gunners. The only team I loathe more than Manchester United is Chelsea.

Does this count as media? Sleepy Hollow: Children of the Revolution (novel) Yes, I bought it. Yes, I'm loving it.

"Your son is a lawyer. You must be so proud." Ha! ETA: I really loved her tonight - especially her massive side-eye toward all things Katrina.

Yep. I'm still irked that Olivia didn't just punch him in the face and walk out. And this is coming from someone who is NOT an Olivia fan.

Where is the Nationals-Giants game airing?

I didn't realize until this show that I had missed seeing Judd Hirsch on my TV regularly. I really like Abe, especially his relationship with Henry.

This paragraph was my favorite part of the NYT recap.

Shonda & the writers have never seemed particularly interested in doing genuine world building for this show. Just like they've never seemed too keen on character development.

One of my favorite Viola Davis performances is in the Law & Order: Criminal Intent S1 episode, "Badge." Her character, Terry, was chilling, and even briefly threw super sleuth Goren off his game. I almost didn't recognize her with the different hair, but she was also Amanda Tanner on S1 of Scandal.

I liked and enjoyed Russel Crowe's performance in Les Miserables. *runs*

YES!

He is! I also really like AE's chemistry with Viola Davis. Don't want them paired romantically, but I love watching them play off one another.

Finally realized what the structure of this show reminds me of: ABC’s late, very much lamented (at least by me) high-concept show The Nine. That show also had regular flashforwards to events the audience had to piece together and an ensemble cast that featured HTGAWM’s own Tom Verica! Major difference is that was a much, much better show! The case of the week is unnecessary (though I enjoyed seeing Steven Weber) since the audience already has to keep track of TWO ongoing murder cases. Laurel is super boring to me. Same with Asher. Loved the hell out of all of Annalise’s scenes, especially with Nate and her husband, Sam. And Nate articulated what I was thinking during this ep: it must be hard for Annalise not to be suspicious of everyone given her line of work. Since this show comes from Shondaland, I’m not holding out much hope that character development will ever happen.

I am here for Wes' shocked faces. Yes, this show is very...busy. I know we're in the era of short attention spans, but this zig zagging around to different murders makes it hard for me to care about any of them.

Can Quinn and Huck find the nearest fire and die in it? *pleaseandthankyou*
