Clarke had a choice. The Ark had a choice. I think the show is trying to challenge us to see the slippery slope of violence in the name of self-defense. I agree that this season is written more sloppily than other seasons, but I think Pike's decision to attack is an exploration of the costs of preemptive war (e.g.…

I think Bellamy is redeemable, but I agree that he needs to accept responsibility for his poor decisions and make a sacrifice. Yet, I am not sure why everyone is so against Bellamy. Yes, he made a terrible decision in aligning with Pike. But he, and the rest of the 100, has experienced tragedy, betrayal, and loss.…

But Blaine isn't a zombie (since the "cure"), and he went to her without the pasty make-up on.

I just finished Part 8 when this review was posted. I liked the episode better than the reviewer. I am happy to see the murder investigation progress (although I am nervous for Marco-please let nothing happen to Marco). I was also happy to see the interplay between Meg and Danny. I think Danny feels connected to Meg…

I think Eric Thurm is spot on in his Grantland review: http://grantland.com/hollyw…

I think Quinn would have given Carrie longer, but the mission tied his hands. He knows he will always be tempted to return to the CIA - there will always be missions and people depending on his expertise - so he needs help getting out. His identify is his job. As you noted, Astrid also warns Carrie about Quinn's…

I agree Rosie. While I did not expect this episode, I liked it a lot. The entire episode is character driven and its title has several layers of meaning. The episode examines choices and their ramifications. Carrie's anger at Saul's tacit collaboration with Dar Adal is justified, but Saul's possible motivations of…

Question: Why does Khan recognize Dar Adal? And since he does recognize Dar Adal, we can assume Dar Adal is not a secret CIA plant…?

Wait, isn't Kalinda sleeping with Lana partly to help Cary? She just cannot tell him that? And she also does not want to endanger Lana. Or am I way off?

I am not sure if the differences are mostly due to Noah or Allison willfully lying. People are poor witnesses and easily distort facts. Trying to remember the first day of an affair after years would be hard for anyone. And each account must be influenced by other memories and impressions of the other person that came…

I am not sure her empathy chip is completely short-circuited…she is attempting to cope with the trauma of Brody's death and everything that came before it by becoming colder (she tells the soldier in the bar that she tries to focus on the "big picture"). It is obviously not working… I suspect Quinn may play a role in…

I agree with you. Both the scene in front of Brody's house and the in the bathroom underscore Carrie's fears of motherhood without Brody. She does not drown her child; she rashly considers it for a second. And she realizes she cannot stay in DC. Just as Quinn knows he cannot go back into the field yet, Carrie knows…

I wanted to like it but I think it is pretty awful. And I love Feels Like We Only Go Backwards.

It happens from Colombia to USA (sometimes via Mexico, I think): http://www.nytimes.com/2012…

Charlie says he began working on the ap after their first break up (presumably in S01).

Could the AV Club please cover this show. Pretty please…

I am confused…what was the point of Kimmel? And, there was no Q&A, right?
