I actually thought Cisco was not that great in this episode; he was kind of sulky and weird and talked strangely slowly. I much prefer him in happy-go-lucky mode.

I feel like there has been a complete swapping out of the salmon ladder for "quality television" and "good acting" on Arrow and…I mean, okay, fine, but I don't understand why there had to be a choice. :(

I used to watch Glee, and I don't anymore! (I ragequit in the middle of season 3.) And although no one has asked me to write about the tonal contrasts between Glee and The Good Wife, I now feel the overwhelming need to do so.

Hilariously, I actually wrote out this whole long comment about how it's easy to hate teenage girls because negative stereotypes blah blah blah in response to your other comment, and then I tried to post it and Disqus promptly lost it (and I tried to copy/paste it but apparently I failed at that too). Anyway, I don't…

Usually you'd never see something like that for a race as small as states' attorney, but something very similar happened in the Obama/McCain race, except it was even more invasive because it took place in front of an entire megachurch of people who were all very vocal in their reactions to what the candidate said.

Yeah, I didn't even finish watching last week's episode until this week, and neither one was even B-range for me. I think TGW has had bad runs before that it's pulled out of, so I'm going to keep watching and hope that they pull out of this one.

I live in the Bay Area and now I want a laptop sticker proclaiming myself to be in the core constituency of hell.

I think there's also a gender dynamic when you just look the history of this *show*. Perotti feels like the writers taking another crack at N— uh, He Who Must Not Be Named. Like maybe if they substitute bodice-ripping (literally!) for, ahem, foodstuffs, we'll all be OK with the stalking and the general weirdness! In…

I agree that what Grace said was a terrible thing to say, especially to an atheist, but I also think that wasn't just because she was trying to foist her religion on Alicia; it's because our culture is pathologically uncomfortable with people openly grieving and being upset, and when someone's sad, the immediate…

I kind of thought it was supposed to be that she wanted to show that she was OK with him having been to prison, so she made a terrible joke, and everyone acknowledged that it was a terrible joke but Cary was still just happy to find someone who didn't think he was tainted for life by having been in prison.

This is a week late, but this comment reminds me a lot of the Tom & Lorenzo Mad Men costume analyses, which I love! Please keep posting. :)

The difference is that those cops are white and their victims aren't. This was the other way around. Also there's a class element: law enforcement (both police and prosecutors) are increasingly unwilling to go after rich, high-status targets with good representation, and Sam is clearly that.

I don't think the introductory voiceover has ever been supposed to be 100% factual. It's just him telling us everything he's already telling everyone else/admitted to himself so far in the show. Like how in the second season it was all "I was a killer but now I've abandoned that path." It's always been written in…

It makes perfect sense. The reason Annalise was pissed was because Bonnie got Hot Cop fired, and now Hot Cop won't talk to Annalise because he thinks Annalise did it — so Annalise herself has been very personally negatively affected by Bonnie's actions. The law students have also done shady stuff, but none of their…

I don't know anything about law except what I've learned from watching random law shows, but…that seriously bothered me. I mean, Annalise brought up the imminent defense thing with her team before the questioning, right? So…shouldn't they have been able to mitigate it by, say, asking the mom "Have you often felt your…

Seriously, none of these look as good as Kings was.

@Shipwreck:disqus , I actually think what this trope normalizes is possessive behavior among fathers that results in aggression towards their daughters' SOs. Like…how creepy is that? That's not something anyone should be shown doing. However, I don't think it really normalizes dependency on the part of the daughter —…

I have to say, I don't understand all the Cisco hate. I think he's adorable! The actor is pretty good at being the designated comic relief! The '90s are totally retro-cool these days! If I suddenly found myself being part of a team secretly assisting an honest-to-God superhero, I would never stop coming up with lame…

Maybe his parents were just really into Lord of the Rings. Because Eomer…and…bards…?

I've been a cord-cutter for years and thus missed a lot of commercials for shows. During that time, I started to realize that I enjoyed the shows a lot more than reviewers or other commenters, just because I wasn't watching any promos. I wasn't let down by Agents of SHIELD not having a huge tie-in with Thor, because I…
