I got a serious "Sleeping with the Enemy" vibe.

Hmm, interesting! I admit I'm totally making assumptions at this point because Conrad willingly confessing is so weird.

This show is largely about plot. Breathless, fun, twisty plot. The inner lives of characters are seldom explored without connecting it to the plot at some point. I think the most "character" stories might be either "Memorial" in season four (saying goodbye to all their dead friends), the season three premiere "The…

Boning someone who looks exactly like the girl who you grew up with thinking is your sister is gross. Full stop. No wiggle room. GROSS.

Yeah I was like, "Ooooo…..ahhhhh grossssssss."

I think Survivor has sort of an endemic gender issue almost solely because of Jeff Probst being the voice guiding the show. However, I just can't see this season as more egregious than any other. I actually think it is fairly mild compared to others, honestly. (And Hayden's comment seemed far more to me about age than…

The CW and Malcolm. I did plenty of objectifying of Malcolm.

As a blatant Boston Rob Stan, that is one of my favorite moments. The gleeful look on his face!

I think my favorite thing about this episode was the scene between Joseph Morgan and Phoebe Tonkin where they connected a bit over their similar backgrounds. For the Hayley/magic baby story to work, they need to give Klaus moments like that and I thought that one was fantastic. (I've always enjoyed Tonkin and Morgan's…

I'm wondering if Daniel Gillies still had commitments on Saving Hope that meant he was less available at the beginning of the season, forcing him to be daggered? Otherwise, as a staunch Elijah supporter, this is bullshit. Undagger Elijah!

Really it feels more like you would expect a Phil Klemmer show to be like.

I really liked this pilot but The CW is certainly stretching what "teenager" means. Robbie Amell and his BFF look at least 25 in TV years, which means they probably look 30 in real life. And I can't figure out how old Peyton List and Luke Mitchell's characters are even supposed to be. Oh, The CW, your pretty pretty…

Blair and Dan did work YOU TAKE THAT BACK.

That is the one pairing on this show I have NO desire to see. I love them as friends and business partners.

Sometimes, I think yes, this show would be better off without Zoe. She can be a fine character when the narrative isn't obsessed with twisting her into ridiculous screwball situations, as demonstrated in her good arc last season about dealing with the fact she had genuine feelings for a guy like Wade. But so often,…

I doubt he got actually defrocked. He just got shuttled off to a small parish in Wyoming or something.

Lovestoned is freaking fantastic.

@avclub-b9a25e422ba96f7572089a00b838c3f8:disqus I have a no-kill order on Matt! Leave Matt alone! Well, at least leave him with his threesomes!

ELIJAHHHHHHHHH!

I actually liked her in the backdoor pilot. She had a nice, aloof thing happening. But here she was all "I'm a grad student in psychology and a bartender, isn't that a gas" and it was annoying.
