Because of the general outrage, I knew that Prairie was making it all up, so I was prepared. I thought, in the end, the creators were going to show that Prairie could pull us in and make us want to believe just like the others - that you can't criticize them for their stupidity or being too gullible because you wanted

You're probably right. His reaction in the hospital made him one of the prime suspects, so it's probably just a red herring.
I'm guessing now that Oliver knows he was involved in the Sam murder but obviously still cares about him (since he was at least happy to see Connor's not dead), they'll try to get back together.

Man, I was upset to lose Margaery - and then I had to sit through both Sam and Sand Snake scenes to remind me I'm still stuck with them.

I haven't seen this posted - this is what Cydney said about her vote:

I watched this finale early this morning so I wouldn't get spoiled, and…wow. What a disappointment. I almost wish I had looked at the winner beforehand so I knew what was coming.
But I should have realized the outcome during the fire making challenge. I thought they were rooting for Aubrey, but clearly they just still

Oh yeah. I know Eddie was trying to be the rational one and keep his family together. But it was getting frustrating to watch - and, yeah, if he didn't go on his tirade at the end of the episode, I'd stand by my "spineless" accusation. But he did, so it was breaking point for him, obviously, and the show did a good

I've hated Alison and her storyline, but I loved the twist that Jason's hands were burned like in the founding of The Ladder. Nice touch. I forgive you, The Path, for all those angsty Alison scenes.

I agree about Eddie. He didn't bother inserting himself into the Hawk conversation with much more than a "Sarah…" and then just stood there as Hawk ran off? Usually whenever Eddie and Sarah spoke about Important Decisions I hated Eddie's spinelessness - like in this situation - but it set his face off at the end of

Oh, I totally agree with you about their relationship. They should not have been together, and neither was good for the other. And, like other commenters have pointed out, there was no reason for Fran to stay with her except for the gratification of being the "better" person and being able to try to control her in

I don't know if either of them are even capable of a healthy relationship. That's the only thing I see keeping them together.

The fact that Hannah flashed her principle and was just able to be like, "Okay, time for me to leave!" with no consequences did not sit with me well. I expected the other shoe to drop with how inappropriate she was as a teacher, but it never did - she was able to leave thinking she's just too free to be put in a box.

Yeah, that character was less of an actual person and more of a cliche to move the plot along. Which, in the end I didn't mind.
It was better than a whole season of her and Rob flirting in a will he/won't he storyline.

I loved the use of "phantom centaur butt." So descriptive. So good.

Oh man, I forgot about that line. So great.

I get what you're saying - but for me, Hannah doesn't have moments of humanity and empathy.

This episode just didn't work for me. Hannah is terrible. I can't understand her motivations or relate to her inappropriateness (the flashing-the-principal move was ridiculous), and I can't bring myself to feel sorry for her when terrible things happen to her.

The weird thing is that Allison Williams implied Charlie was lying about his father's suicide, which hadn't crossed my mind:
"…if she had that turned on she would have noticed Charlie’s erratic behavior early on, she would have been able to call bullshit on his news about his dad."

Agreed. I don't really get it. Shosh has grown to be my favorite, but, to me, Marnie is closest to an actual "type" of person in real life. Loves attention and is used to getting it because she's attractive. Has self esteem issues but thinks she never shows it. Changes personalities based on trends or boys.

I get what you mean. There's no stakes for the Underwoods because they care about nothing else. Usually if a character is succeeding in some area, it's at the expense of something else - but the Underwoods don't care about anything other than power and each other, so it doesn't matter what else they lose. Just look a

And he's the most miserable, uncharismatic, humorless man - I can't imagine why she would ever want to meet with him, let alone let him meet her children, after spending more than a few minutes with him.
