I agree, or didn't my snark about the terrible writing come through?

Eh, I thought they got some good laughs out of Lexipedia.

Teddy, Leah and Shane all got out alive, too. And that the on-call neuro was at dinner, which makes even less sense cuz the crash happened in early afternoon, judging from the light, but Derek didn't arrive at the hospital until after dark. Oh, and if you're flying cross country from the Seattle area - yes, even if…

Katherine Heigel asked to leave, Izzie lived. TR Knight, Chyler Leigh, Kim Raver all white, all chose to leave, 2 died, one didn't. Eric Dane was cut for budgetary reasons (http://www.zap2it.com/blogs….

I gave up on Scandal last season and only came here to see if anyone was talking about Derek's death on Grey's but I gotta say I'm a little disappointed the reviewer didn't compare the bone breaking into a suitcase scene with the same from Ep 2 of this season's The Americans. That scene was done without music, only…

Don't confuse the story's take on Joe - which is what I'm talking about - with how I view the character. The story attempts to cast doubt on his ultimate guilt by making literally every single adult in Danny's life guilty of some moral failing - adultery, neglect, blind trust (Ellie). By the end of S1 are we supposed…

If a viewer doubted Joe's guilt that means they think the story tellers are unreliable. What was that we saw, a dream sequence? The fact that the writers needed to clarify that the on screen murder wasn't a dream sequence demonstrates bad story telling.

By choosing to have Danny's murder happen in the grooming stage - before any molestation had occurred - the writers leave Joe with a sheen of 'innocence' that isn't really questioned by other characters or the story structure. Obviously he murdered a child, but all the crazy 'small town turning against suspected pedo'…

Agreed on Martha, she's a living miracle. Although I'm starting to see the fact that she's still alive as another example of Philip's wavering commitment to the cause.

I actually said out loud "She's going to kill herself." Then she picked up the phone…

But who would you like them to kill? Paige? Martha? Henry? Stan?

Nope. The writers broke an implicit contract with the viewers by showing the murder, then setting up an entire story where the reality of that scene is questioned. They also broke an implicit contract by writing an antagonist - Joe - who literally comes out of nowhere and who is laughably characterized not as a…

But the not guilty verdict wasn't earned - it was the result of terrible storytelling during the trial sequences. Things happened in court that don't happen in real life, in the UK or the US, so that by the time the verdict came down, it all felt like an unreal farce. The fact that they telegraphed the verdict - with…

I'll never understand why some can't separate having sympathy for a character with agreeing with their actions or believing they are good people. Philip and Elizabeth are murderers. That doesn't mean I don't identify with some of their struggles, as portrayed in this fictional story. I can feel one thing while never…

Games of Thrones? Um, no, GoT is consistently entertaining in a way that The Americans can't match. Completely different viewing experience really but for pure entertainment, GoT is almost impossible to beat, and it still manages to handle complex themes.
