This review perfectly breaks down all the reasons I'm glad Shonda Rhimes is successful and famous and all the reasons I can't stand her work. Do Amy Schumer next.

Yeah, like it or not we're stuck with the show's narrative, and in that story it's pretty clear Effie reneges because she's annoyed by Jason's attitude. If that's really how it went down she has truly become the villain of the show, however you feel about Jason.

Damn. I'm usually a fan, Sean, but this is the worst kind of entertainment journalism hackjob. Anyone who listened to the podcast would realize these guys were just riffing on goofy C-list comic book properties they literally picked out of a hat.

Taryn Manning not on par with the rest of the cast??? You are either insane or haven't seen Hustle and Flow.

I mean yeah, artistic quality is subjective, but Tony Soprano was literally about twenty or thirty times "greater" than any movie performance. The Godfather is to the Sopranos what some great painting is to the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

I'm so crushed he might as well have died on top of me

okay so how about:

i thought so too but then i realized Duck's got no reason to think Bob's gay
