I think there's general agreement that Ruke was just terrible all around, but you seem to like Luke a lot better than I do.

Ruke *was* such a waste of Deacon. Never for a minute did I buy that they were in love, either. Luke treated Rayna like a prize and Rayna seemed to feel like it was the thing she was supposed to do rather than what her heart really wanted. Luke made Teddy look like the best husband ever. (Was he the one who helped…

Between the two Amells, Robbie definitely got the worse of the terrible wigs.

I finally caught up on both Grimm and Constantine to join these threads. Why does this show feel compelled to write itself into corners and then just hang out in them, rather than doing anything interesting? When they had the Nick/Adalind vision thing in an early episode I hoped that Adalind-in-Europe wasn't going to…

This. Remember in season one when Jack Bauer actually got tired toward the end of the season because he HADN'T SLEPT FOR 24 HOURS? Remember before he and everyone else in CTU became a walking cliche? When they actually tried (tried …) to tell a vaguely coherent story rather than throw a shocking twist in every…

I'm going to miss Taylor. I figured he wasn't going to get the popular vote, but yeah, I don't get Adam either. And saving Ryan was disappointing but predictable, I guess.

Captain Detective Lance is the best. I also loved his line from the earlier episode where he was chiding Laurel for "tuning up" random bad guys … And his voicemail to Sara made a much better case for keeping her death a secret than the bottle of heart medication. It's gotta be weird being the parent of a professional…

"Roy never met an enemy he couldn’t parkour at." Ha, so true. And Thea keeps falling for it too (or at least pretending to). I kind of like the theme of Thea starting to lie to all the lying people in her life, but I also hope the cluelessness on the part of everyone else doesn't last.

I'm bummed that iTunes doesn't have the version of "Postcard from Mexico" with Deacon. I liked the Huisman version well enough (I wish they had done more with Liam), but Esten was perfect.

Damnit, now I'm going to have "I Think I Love You" stuck in my head all day.

Paul's a ghost *waggles fingers*

Alison finally gives in and does "the nasty." The heart in the fresh cement was so sweet.

That opening sequence of everyone's "morning meetings" was vaguely disorienting (and not in a good way). They haven't really established the locations well enough so it wasn't so much a delicious realization of what was going on with the characters as much as "where the hell are we?"

I'd forgotten the Buffy scene, but Orphan Black has a track record of zagging where other shows zig, so I have faith. It just made that part of my brain light up when I heard it.

I liked the "You're drinking on the day I come back from rehab!?" scene more than the mutual confession and ensuing hijinks. That was the Alison I missed.

I had such a sinking feeling when Cal asked what the corporation was, but I really want to be proven wrong.

Indeed, Nashville got good just as AV Club dropped regular coverage. Revenge could use that kind of bump, also.

Conversation at my house:
"Oh look, Adalind is going to cast a spell on Juliette. Because that's what hexenbiests do, they hex people."
"No, they just hex Juliette."

No guesses as to where they go next, but they handled Oz much better than they did the neverending Neverland era, mostly by keeping it to flashbacks rather than having the entire cast we care about leave Storybrooke and be obligated to show that Belle still exists once an episode.

The parking was one of those jokes that's funny because it goes on so long. It starts as the usual "bystander doesn't notice the freaky happening because they have headphones" schtick but the punchline is Coulson actually reaching for his wallet when asked for 20 bucks.
