Agreed on Sydney/Will from Alias, but I always rooted for Sark/Sydney. Sark was the best and had such great hate-sexy chemistry with Sydney. I wanted them to get together while Vaughn was married. But alas. I think the problem was that perhaps they originally meant for Sark to be the secret Spy Sibling, but then Lena…

I was more grossed out by him in the Oval Office scene near the beginning. Every time they have one of those scenes where they're alone in a room with Olivia standing at one end, and Fitz does that tall, purposeful, slow stalk towards her, I cringe. I think the directors think they're making him seem all hurr-manly…

THIS! Scandal's main failing is in showing us why Fitz should be president or why all these people think he's so great. I don't need the show to go all House of Cards and bore us with education reform bills for an entire season, but I do need to see him doing something presidentially awesome. Just once! It's a shame…

I'm still devastated that Lisa and Zack never got together. Their friendship was the best, but was often overshadowed by the romances. Remember that time she came to reassure him in the hospital before his surgery? Beautiful. And the one time they dated, but it was never mentioned again? They were my first frustrated…

Wow. The year that introduced Niles. I would have just left it at that, dropped the mic and gotten out of here, but all of these were pretty epic, too.

Season 4 is the very very best. Pretty much flawless from beginning to end.

Watching this almost 4 years later because of Sebastian Stan and yeah. What a shame.

Mellie wears less flattering clothes, hair and makeup than Bellamy picks out for herself. She looks better with smaller hair. Most importantly, her smile is the greatest, but Mellie only ever fake smiles. So except for the scene last week where she was drunk and smiling, Mellie has never looked nearly as gorgeous as…

Is Olivia in love with Fitz? I’m a romantic at heart, so I want to believe she is.
As a romantic at heart, I want to believe that she's not. Her actions do not read as love to me. They read as a tragic woman from a fucked-up family situation deliberately undermining her own potential for happiness. And Fitz is the weak…

The sneak attack Southern accent was the most brilliant part of the entire Mellie monologue. Such a wonderful detail the actress threw in. I never even realized she originally had a Southern accent that she is repressing to be FLOTUS. It was such a good way of showing how much she usually keeps repressed every minute…

I know I would love Hunted, but the irrational negative feelings I still harbour for Melissa George prevent me from watching. I don't care about Syd/Vaughn, but Lauren sucked the joy from my favorite show. I'm loving Scandal right now because it has carbon copied many Alias character dynamics, but has chosen to…

As a Lost lover, Game of Thrones is now my favorite show (big cast, mysterious scifi stuff around the edges, unlikely heartwarming friendships forged in the woods). And I cannot recommend the first two seasons of Misfits highly enough. It's a UK show that you can watch in the US on Hulu (you don't need to be on the…

Scandal is even more of a roller coaster of wtf moments than Lost was. Starting in S2 (S1 was only 7 eps), it became much faster paced and contains more twists per episode than anything I've ever watched. And Desmond is in season 1 as Olivia's best friend, if that helps (but the actor wasn't given very meaty…

Totally agree with the grade here. They bit off more than they could chew. The thing with the guy in the trailer was confusing and misplaced. The only things that saved this episode for me were Mellie's rant, badass David Rosen, and Jake's torture beard.

Only interested in the Agent Carter show, because Haley Atwell is great. But it would have to be a period piece to get me. And hopefully be on at a later time.

What a great review! This was my favorite line: (At one point, Mary’s dog makes a break for the woods, and one character asks another if it was drawn to the blood without any explanation for that inquiry.) HA!

All the tweeting and stuff gets a lot of press, but it is not representative of the entire audience. Only a tiny percentage of people tweet or heavily engage online about this show. And I've found that a small section of the pro-Olivia/Fitz, anti-Jake brigade is simply louder and more militant online, in a way that…

I love the idea of a different Once Upon a Time In X miniseries every year with concise stories that end with the season. But after Under the Dome, I flat out don't believe that if it gets good ratings it will remain one and done.

I thought the Onstar gag was phenomenal. But it's interesting that this was the first time we've had Ichabod actively mourning his wife and it was played as a joke. Are we supposed to care about Katrina or not? And if not, why is she a series regular? Add to that the flirty "delinquency" line to Abbie and I just don't…

So, last spring Shonda Rhimes gave that NYTimes interview saying she wanted to make a show like Alias. And then a few days later, the Scandal finale was basically the S1 finale of Alias (not to mention that Fitz/Olivia/Jake+Rowan is very similar to Vaughn/Sydney/Sark+Irina, which means I finally get my Syd/Sark ship…
