I was under the impression Olivia didn't know Huck killed Sue last week. Quinn lied to her about it as I recall.

It's hilarious that Barry is so embarrassed about getting rejected that he thinks it's preferable to let Iris believe he's suffering from something called "Lightning Psychosis." She's certainly not gonna want him now that he's being marketed as brain damaged and mentally unstable.

Thanks for responding, all. Yeah, that's what I thought… Their fallout really happened because Limehouse lost all respect for Ava after she tried to kill Ellen Mae. I think it's pretty cool that Limehouse's venom towards Ava is rooted in something so unconventional for a criminal: Moral outrage. it makes Limehouse

I know Snart says he loves to steal, but I still find it hilarious that these clowns are putting so much effort into robbing folks, when they already have a gun that turns things into gold.

Can someone remind me of the steps leading to Limehouse and Ava's falling out? They were very close to each other when Limehouse was introduced. I certainly remember Limehouse's moral outrage at Ava's attempts to kill Ellen Mae. Was that the main reason for their falling out or was there more to it than that? I'm

I had assumed that when they made the decision to hire Lee, it was under the assumption that Lee was no longer going to be their enemy upon joining the firm . If Lee is going to continue to be their enemy and help sue them and sabotage them every week, doesn't that defeat the supposed cost-saving purpose of keeping

Yeah, it's consistent with how Abby would act. But I guess my issue is that the show portrays Abby shaming her men as somewhat cutesy and, at worst, charmingly incorrigible. Whereas Sue's monologue tells me that we're meant to see Olivia slut-shaming her as deeply wrong, not in any way charming. So that's a bit of a

How is David Lee still at this law firm when he betrays them every week? First, in Mind's Eye, he teams up with Canning to win a lawsuit against them. Then, last week, he teams up with Canning to frame Alicia for supporting terrorists. I was expecting a confrontation scene where they fire him for all his recent

You know who else did some serious slut-shaming this episode? Abby. Towards her two fellas. Apparently, they're both disgusting pigs for having kinky sex with Lena Dunham. Am I supposed to be okay with Abby's slut-shaming because her targets are men? Seems like an unfair double standard. Perhaps Abby deserved a

I don't entirely understand why this memoir would've been such a huge, politically-crippling catastrophe for Abby or even for David or Leo. We're talking about single men who had consensual, legal sex with a willing adult. I get that there was some kink involved and some S & M action…. sure, it would be embarrassing

I wasn't bothered that Mary's recovery culminated in her sleeping with Conde. This all started when her body was violated. And she was terrified to be touched for months in the aftermath. I think sleeping with Conde, because she wants to and chooses to, is Mary reclaiming her body for herself. It worked for me.

Yes, Wallace committed atrocities against the grounders. But not against the people of the ark. He had been unwilling to do that. The reason he changes his mind in this episode is because the ark people are now part of a larger invading army trying to destroy Mt. Weather. It's a response to the invasion. He had no

No, it is not akin to that. Because Wallace was not the one who sought out the conflict. Your analogy would only make sense if the individual who was initially unwilling to hurt the unarmed kids was the same individual who made choices that led to the war. But that's not what happened here. Wallace was unwilling to

I thought it was perfectly understandable why President Wallace finally turned on the people of the Ark this episode, when he didn't previously. And I don't think it had anything to do with considering the grounders to be "savages." There are two fundamental differences between Wallace's decision in this episode, and

I gotta say… On the level of human emotions and believable motivations, I pretty much didn't buy a single thing anyone did this week, and it ruined the episode for me.

Everyone seems to be so hard on Mary for her treatment of Edith, but I have to say, I don't really have a problem with it. At the start of the series, Edith tried to outright destroy Mary's reputation and life by leaking info of her sexual indiscretion to the public. When Mary confronted Edith, Edith displayed no

Hi Ninja. Yes, I get the concept behind Enzo's revenge — make Stefan feel bad by corrupting someone he cares about — but ask yourself whether this plan makes sense for Enzo. This is a character long since established as a complete sociopath and murderer who kills without hesitation or compunction. And surely Enzo

At this point, Enzo's defining characteristic (other than violent psychosis and a weird obsession with the Salvatore brothers) is his increasingly convoluted and misguided concept of revenge.

Agree with everything you've said here, Gabriel, and yet, her reaction was a bridge too far, even for the non-existent moral coding of this universe. I mean, I get that the show has lost all semblance of recognizable morality, but it really isn't always this tone deaf about it. The way Sheriff Forbes just chuckled, as

Did it bother anyone else to see Sheriff Forbes laugh off the dozens of unsolved murders Damon is responsible for over the years as a big joke? What kind of a Sheriff is she, that she thinks it's okay to let her friends get away with murder? Even her explanation for why she didn't look into Elena's parents' deaths all
