1. "It's it’s like Crosby has suddenly become Ward Cleaver, while he’s surrounded by a bunch of characters in an Ingmar Bergman film" ahhhhh this had me laughing out loud. So true. It's like Crosby has been beamed in from a happier, goofier alt-universe.

I don't think Joel will sleep with Pete. She seemed pretty disgusted with his personal drama in the last episode. Also, she is blonde, domineering and self serving just like Julia. On second thought, maybe they'll have hate sex?

I love the reviewers comment that the show is pathologically uninterested in Camille. I agree, the character can't catch a break! They gave her a great new hairdo (finally!!!) but make her character's blossoming journey still passive aggressive and annoying. Maybe it's just the actresses portrayal but it's hard to…

That's funny I was also thinking-"Damn! What a waste. He was cute!" when Blonde Guy Officer got killed. He was already more likeable to me than Detective Morales.

Svenska: I agree! That short scene with Annie & Eyal this season was electric! Fingers crossed they bring him back in a more significant way in season 5. Season 4 as a whole was just ok to me. It managed to make Joan and Arthur interesting to me and believe their relationship by the end, which was a first, so good.…

Joel and Julia used to be my least favorite part of Parenthood. These past 2 seasons though the actors have been so good within their storylines they've won me over. Their scenes in these last few episodes have been riveting and heartbreaking to watch. I never thought I'd say this but I hope they can work it out.…

After this episode seeing all Mellie has gone through, and more of the evolution of Mellie and Fitz as a couple, I feel like Mellie "Olivia who? Fitz are you crazy?" Their 20 odd years of marriage had weight for me here, especially as we got a brief glimpse of the good times. Olivia has known the president for a few…

That's a great idea actually. I may be alone in this but I find Joel kind of boring. The Ed character is more dynamic and confident in his interactions with Julia and brings out a more humble and fun side to her. With Joel I feel like she's playing responsible grownup' but with Ed she's just being herself. A cheating…

I've been completely flashing back to Alias while watching this Season as well! I agree with Sonia that Mama Pope is coming out of hiding to stir things up. I'm guessing she's the one person that Rowan is scared of. If they do it Alias style she may work for a rival government and Olivia's Dad was trying to protect…

Hmm, the season is starting off a bit slow but they earned so much goodwill from me for the awesome series turnaround that was Season 3 that I'll give them some time to get their Season 4 mojo going. You can't kill a major character off at the beginning of EVERY season, right? Although it may do this show good……

My expectations were pretty low since everyone says the network is just burning through the episodes they've shot, however, I was amused by the pilot. I may watch the remaining episodes they have left. I'm glad Goodwin isn't going to get picked up though cause I want Scott Foley to continue his character on Scandal!

Saw the movie. S. Epatha is hilarious in it. It's a funny, feel good comedy. Nothing groundbreaking except that Tyler Perry left it alone allowing it to be decent. Especially if you like the actors (there's a lot of good ones in it) it's a fun matinee type watch. No need to rush out to see it, but if you do you'll…

Season finale completely lived up to the hype! What a great show and season. Ryan-thanks for your insightful recaps. I agree, I love that the writers seem to know how emotionally messed up their 'heroes' are. Billy Chambers & Cyrus weren't too far off the mark when calling Olivia & Fitz out. And if Billy Chambers &…

I was afraid of the show falling into the cliche of Rayna becoming a mother or mentor figure for Juliette, but now that they've gone so far from that (the two barely talk to each other, and sometimes seem to live in different universes although they're on the same tour!) I kind of wish it would happen. When Juliette…

@Aravis Agreed! Scott Foley as Jake is continually interesting even when he doesn't have that much screen time. I'm hoping he's in Season 3 and we get some backstory or a flashback for him and how he chose to be in B613. Does he have (or used to have) friends or family? Was he told he couldn't have a personal life…

I love how you say the show is being devoured by Olitz. I agree! There are so many interesting characters and layers in this world scandal has created, but its all thrown over by the same messed up dynamic of olitz every episode. Fight/Promises/Screweachother/over/rinse/repeat. The actors may have great chemistry but…

LOL thank you for putting that out there. I definitely think I have Stockholm syndrome considering I keep tuning in to this ridiculousness when any sane viewer would cut and run during the first commercial break. I hope the stars on this show aren't locked in and can leave asap. Unfortunately I think that's what it…

Excellent review! I agree this show is unbelievably, consistently, fantastic. Like you said, it has an urgency to it. This makes it the only show on TV that I make the time to watch in real time the night it airs.     Stray thought-do you guys think the absence of children on this show (besides a couple of babies that…
