This show's references and inner jokes are truly fantastic. Particularly liked "Remains of the day" in the caption and the nod to their theme song with Major saying "I'm already dead" and the caption saying "But I'm a cheerleader".

I quite liked the symbolic white for hallucination Major. Even though I knew that a scene like that couldn't come if not at the end of the episode, my first thought was dream not brain side-effect. Well-played, show!

Dear show, if you kill Michael after this episode, I am never going to forgive you. Please don't!

Reading the comment section scared me a little concerning Grodd's importance. As a person who has never read the comics nor has any intention to, I was hoping that the whole Grodd storyline would be wrapped up by season's end. While I didn't mind having it in the episode, I don't see how I could ever bear an evil

Next Flash/Arrow spinoff. Felicity vs Gideon, the AI she should not have given to Barry Allen.

I will be truly disappointed if the narrator ends up being trustworthy only when the writers ex-post need him to be. #unfair

It was when Michael used his being a detective to avoid Alba's deportation, I think it was episode 10. The narrator says that Michael will not stop believing that he and Jane belong together "until his last breath" or something to that effect. Which either means that he will never get over her or that he has a very

You're both right but the word career has some kind of longevity to it, doesn't it? Or at least it does in the part of my brain that straight-out refuses to believe that they would get rid of Michael now that they have shown us just how fun he can be with the other characters.

I keep reminding myself that the narrator also said that Michael would go on to have an illustrious career as a detective. Michael cannot die. Michael cannot die. Michael cannot die.

Despite Gina Rodriguez's acting chops the three romantic-moment Janes were way too much. That they thought to use it also on Rafael makes me wonder if the writers know that telenovela elements need to be used in small doses.
I also didn't like the flashback to Rafael at the therapist. They went to the obvious "he's

I refuse to believe this is Sally's swan song. She has to be in the final shot of the series finale, hating on one of Peggy's ideas with her usual sass and hinting at a future in which they are the cynical yet hopeful queens of the world.

I agree that the actor is not up to the task but I also fault the writers for having way too much happen to Rafael without really dealing with the aftermath, making the character seem very two-dimensional. Plus, he is not funny which in a show like this one is very detrimental.

I loved how with Jane and Xo they showed that both the "too different" and "too similar" relationships are subject to doubts and insecurities and how they keep making the Villanueva women going through similar experiences with their different approaches.

I really, really hated True Detective's ending with the overly-clichéd villain, the lack of coherent explanations and Rusty seeing the light. It's still a good series but it made it impossible for me to consider it a great series. I am willing to accept the complete lack of characterization except for the two main

Sonia, I'm so glad you took over the reviews. Your take is fantastic. Control and Will do seem to clash in Alicia's world. And even the moment in the diner, him saying "if you want to say bitch, you should say it" could be considered another instance of that, Alicia straining against her inner good wife, her Jackie

The absurd use of computers is certainly one of the most unsufferable ones. But to add a new one, I'd go with "the slightly famous guest-star did it". Ruins an incredible number of episodes.

Is there a lawyer that can clarify this for me? Was the guy from the Office of Public Integrity right in saying that Will can break attorney-client privilege because there's an ongoing crime going on? That doesn't seem convincing at all, it seems very much a disbarrable (don't think that's a real world) offence and

TVD should have more bromance and friendships scenes. The Damon/Stefan scene and the Stefan/Caroline one were great! Plus Matt, everyone's friend. I can't believe Stefan didn't realize Elena wasn't Elena after their history bantering session. Elena that sure about the ending of an empire? PLEASE. And also, I agree

I liked this season much more than the last one, mostly because I particularly adored episode 4 and Claire's arc throughout the season. I also am mesmerized at Claire and Frank's marriage much more than I'm interested in anything else, and that's my answer to Todd's question. If House of Cards is about anything, it's

I don't completely disagree (even though I felt that despite its shortcomings, Season 3 showed a bit of a changing Sherlock and deepened him) but I think the limited number of episodes limits the problem and also I can easily look for evolving characters in any other show on TV that doesn't rely on a character with
