Worse than the threat of death? do you mean she knew something else they did worse than murder and/or that they would kill her as soon as she gave the testimony they wanted? But not harm Christophe?

Why did Rose leave her son by committing suicide rather than lie in an anonymous deposition? Why id she trust her son would be safe without her if she didn't trust he'd be safe with Annaleises's solemn assurances if she testified?

Interesting. Maybe your new use of the word will take off. It's a word I've never heard, only seen in old books so for me it is stuck in the olden times when women who spoke up were called "shrews" and the worst thing you could say about a man(usually a husband) was that another man had used the wife who belonged to…

True that he didn't have many lines, but from his first appearance he was the object of obsession and speculation. SO Cali!

Yes, perfect because the SGV is not obsessed with "the industry"/Hollywood like much of LA & NYC are. If Rebecca had moved to LA she wouldn't have had to change at all.

Better than stable—self-aware, caring, kind, but able to set good boundaries.

She enjoys analyzing others so much, from her study of Rebecca to her dispassionate pronouncements while hooking up that being in actual relationship with an other seems kind of secondary to her. She might be stable in the sense of not flying off the handle or acting impulsively, but she's not written as an…

Yes, of course. The same guy who burned a cross on my friend's lawn was extremely kind to handicapped(white) kids. And here the tv & press immediately interview folks who love & miss any victim & emphasize everything good they've done in their lives, unless they are killed by the police, in which case any mental…

thanks, I sort of remembered that vaguely & now it's clear—you're right!

Yes. hoping it's because he's working so many hours that he doesn't spend the time boomer parents did with their kids & like 1950s parents he can only punish, not talk about feelings….come to think of it. not one set of parents on this show fits the stereotypes of the past 30 years, when kids have been getting…

Cool! I'll turn them on next time(even tho i got the Urkel impression) to see what I'm missing.

Caption accuracy varies wildly from show to show & the captioners familiarity with the topic, especially when person speaks quickly and/or in "slang" or an accent. Sometimes they even leave out phrases or lines. Just a few shows seem to give them the script, and then the captions leave out any adlibs or crosstalk.

Either Armisen needs to increase his range—too many of his characters are long-winded, pedantic, slow-talking and condescending, no matter what their hairstyle/wig or they need to give him less screen time. If they must couple up Carrie in every sketch, why not pair her up with Leisha Haley or John Cho?
This episode…

Thanks for watching this, Gwen so I didn't have to! Took it off dvr after last week. Maybe as a reward you'll get to review Kerry Washington in the HBO Anita Hill biopic!

Hoping you're right!

Sincere in that self-serving way tho, from the start, thinking of himself as a leader in touch with what's going on with his team,& daughter & down with how kids think & feel as if he's not blind to the parties where girls get used , the real day to day lives of most of the students who aren't star athletes, the…

What I meant was Dad looked angry & raised his voice while saying "People you meet on a phone?" was another way of trying to kill himself—that's what i meant by unsafe. then he continued confrontationally, as usual, not asking for or allowing time for Eric to open up, not comforting him in any way, not affirming…

Yes, Dad never listens to Eric or comforts him, or says"I'm proud of you son" for anything, so how does he mean "Same as always?" The end scene shot showed Eric looking down, which reads as shame…for rejecting his Dad' or about what his Dad is referring to? If his homophobic mother is telling the truth they might as…

I so hope molestation is not where the writers are going! But the change in the father's tone from his usual raised voice confrontational style to a sigh and softer breathy tone, with emphasis on the word "want" when he said "But if you want something else, I'm here. Same as always." was jarring. Not just because of…

Overdue for him to be on any other show first!
