I'm glad the fish mystery was revealed early, to avoid a true detective kind of disappointment where it gets built up in my head as this huge and complicated conspiracy.

it really creeps me out how they portrayed the aaliyah- r kelly relationship as if they were star-crossed or something.
Also there doesn't seem to be much point to making a movie about aaliyah if you can't use her music

But everything you're listing could just as easily be explained by being friends instead of having a 'thing'. Stefan could have just as easily been avoided her because he knew she wouldn't be ok with what he was doing, and he didn't want to deal with it. Alaric and elena didn't really seem to care about what he was…

that would definitely be a smarter decision, but I guess they need hours where they feel like they can progress the storyline?

I think the problem with that line of thinking is that if she'd even TOLD him how she felt it would have given him a bit of time to think about how he felt about her. Just because he's never considered the option doesn't mean he doesn't have feelings- it just means that he was wrapped up in all the other terrible shit…

i kind of get caroline's thinking, but it's a little dramatic for someone she MAY have had a 'thing' for. maybe she should have said something, i don't know, earlier?

you should have asked what evidence they have that kristina ISN'T the worst considering there is may more evidence that she wis terrible. Like the time that max stopped sarah doing her actual work and kristina wanted sarah to apologise to max instead of the other way round. Seriously, she's letting that kid become a…

well last week he and kristina were on business soliciting donations for the school, and this week he's 'still' on business, which suggests that it's the same business

Yeah its for budget reasons. Each character had to sit out an episode or something so that they could afford to have a final season

For that matter he could say to narcisse- 'see this letter? It's written in code. I'm going to say that I found it in your house and you're responsible for trying to make my rule unstable. Oh, it's not true? Who cares I'm the king! I'll just have a couple of people swear it's true and BAM I have a royal spy'

I don't like the fact that once again they removed elena's agency and put it back in the hands of damon. If i hear 'i did it because it's best for you' one more time I will scream because:
a) elena knows what's best for her- she's a freaking adult
b) would it really have been so horrible for elena to decide on her own…

God kristina is the worst principal in the world. Is the show going to acknowledge this at any point or will they continue to pretend that she's both an amazing mother and teacher? Because right now she is neither. She is raising max to be a monster! Of course he should be in trouble for distributing the flyers. At…

But i think it's telling that they haven't had that in several years. i would have thought it was smarter to keep the comedy around, allow it to build a bit of fan base and see how it goes instead of doing exactly the same thing next year. Also, ABC in particular routinely advertises its comedies HORRIBLY

I liked a lot of this episode- it really ratcheted up the tension, we have incest, ghosts, legitimate fighting between francis and mary, conde becomes more interesting both as a possible love interest for mary and a usurper. We're also given both a plot and production reason bash has disappeared for a while…

yeah they're in their last legs. the only big comedies right now are in their later seasons. Even the ones that aren't ratings powerhouses like parks and recs are in their last seasons. You're talking about a completely different tv landscape from nearly 6 years ago

well it's better than bear down for mid terms

It seems to have a tv connotation that brunch is girly. which i don't understand at all. Maybe it's getting up earlier? Who knows. I don't know who could be against eggs benedict ever

I don't really mind if the reviewer doesn't like the show if they were more open about it. But this reviewer keeps claiming that they want mindy to be as funny as it 'usually' is which is just irritating

i think there's also an emotional reason for caring more about sara's death than the cop's. But yes, clearly the idea that roy is still being affected by the mirakuru would be a huge problem

I guess, i don't really know why it has to spelled out. we know he killed people, he knows he killed people
