I'd probably be more disappointed to hear about a (non-persona-related) scandal involving Stephen Colbert than one about Jon Stewart.

Causing suffering and death amongst peasants was probably pretty standard fare. You need a hook beyond mere numbers. Or at least a really cool number, like 666. If she'd killed exactly 666 people and then just stopped, she might not have needed the whole bathes-in-blood thing, though I imagine people probably would…

That's yet another example of something the show lampshades regularly (or did for the back half of last season, at least) as a substitute for actually changing anything, because change is just too much of a hassle, you know?

EDIT: I was late to the Prime Material Party. I still second jslone's objection to the article, and renew my attempts to summon the Archmage to confirm.

I'll give the show tremendous credit if they spin this into a very self-aware take on everybody else robbing Elena of agency.

All she needs is one moment where she gets all freaky and says "bitch, I do what I want!" and then actually does what she wants. But it'll never happen. With absolutely no racist overtones intended, Bonnie is the ultimate example of Nietzsche's slave morality, a dark mirror to Elena's proactive self-sacrificing and…

Noah did insist that they'd met before, so I'd be willing to let that slide upon the supposition that Tessa's mom was even flightier and more self-absorbed back then than she is now.

I was having trouble understanding why he wanted her back. I mean, yes, objectively speaking, Lisa is right and her mother is wrong. Lisa's mother treats her like crap and thus Lisa deserves sympathy. But Malik hit a bullseye last episode about how Lisa was treating him because of his ability to get along with her…

I suppose the show is, technically, one totally awesome twist away from making Sam's flashbacks meaningful and worthwhile. Having Amelia's husband suddenly be alive does not count.

I'm no fan of Laurel, but she was in the one scene tonight that didn't feel forced, and Tommy did most of the heavy lifting there. It was a nice moment at the restaurant, and I can't help but sense a Long Kiss Goodnight/Gamer pattern developing with the show's dialogue. When there's no big plot point or reveal…

Excellent, now we have yet another situation where, due to the extreme time lapse, justice will be done for absolutely no one even if these incredibly-conveniently-timed accusations have some shred of truth to them!
