Uh, the reason she stopped having sex with him is because his fucking father raped her. It doesn't take anything to paint her as a victim, because she WAS one. The idea that her lack of interest in sex places the blame for him cheating on HER is absurd. And no, not telling her husband "Your father raped me and I don't…

Who's saying she doesn't have blood on her hands? But her role in Daniel Douglas's death was inadvertent and not at all intended, vs. Fitz, who killed someone with his bare hands. Again, these are not the same things, and these characters are not the same in their level of wrongdoing. (Neat how you had to dodge to a…

Save your breath (or typing). MonsieurT is someone who thinks "rape victim doesn't tell her husband she was raped by her father-in-law" and "husband repeatedly cheats on his wife and is emotionally abusive toward her because she committed the sin of not having sex with him" are equal wrongs that makes them equally bad…

To each his own. The physical attack is one thing, because I know some people would never consider that appropriate any under circumstances. (To me, in the grand scheme of crimes committed on "Scandal," that seems like a ridiculously petty thing to care about.) But on point B? Yeah, different strokes and all. Because…

Well, I'm an outlier in the fact that I actually don't hate Fitz. I don't find him particularly likeable, but then I don't think I'm supposed to. He's a mess, and well, so am I, and I tend to give a lot of leeway to characters who make mistakes and bad choices, because…well, yeah. I get it. I'm not perfect either. I…

The only reason I'm watching this show is for Mellie. That's been true for a long time, but was driven home more than ever with this episode, where everything else was dull and draggy (before turning outright ridiculous), but everything revolving around Mellie remained compelling and heartwrenching. Even with the…

It's probably stupid, but I hated the retcon that Mindy didn't really love the Bill Hader character. That was such a huge thing in the pilot and how hung up on him she was and how devastated she was by his wedding. Having them say, "Oh, not really" was really lazy and made no sense.

Is it weird that "Down the Shore" was the thing I wanted to hear about the most? (Hey, I love forgotten sitcoms) That's where I first remember her from, and I always wondered why she left the show. Had no idea she got fired. That sucks (and ouch on Rosenthal's comment on the actress who replaced her).

The mention of Grand is exactly the kind of thing I love about this site. Well done, Todd.

Ha! Me too. Every word.

I don't hate Quinn as much as many people, but she had the chance to have Huck killed and passed? Screw you, Quinn. We were so close to getting rid of him. Instead, we got more Quinn and Huck making out scenes. MY EYES! MY EYES!

Yes. (If you don't believe me, all the episodes are on Youtube the last I checked. But really, believe me. Yes. It wasn't just not funny, but it was really depressing—Miles cheating on Rose and leaving her for another woman, Stan faking his death and leaving, with only Sophia knowing the truth—which kind of soured the…

Yeah, this list is pretty terrible. (Though I'm glad "72 Hours" at least got a mention in the "10 more" category.)

It even occurred to me that Mom might be ripping off New Girl, where the female lead dates Justin Long, thinks he's perfect, and then finds out after the breakup that he was in a relationship all along.

I think the review covers pretty much everything I was thinking about the episode. I really liked how meaty it was, and the moment where the prospective adoptive parents talk about the previous adoption that fell through for them had real weight. But good God, the lawyer character was awful. I got that he was there to…

It doesn't fit the article's discussion of canceled and resurrected shows, but when I saw the title my first thought was of "Parks and Recreation," where Leslie Knope clearly needs to get out of the increasingly terrible town of Pawnee and away from its horrible citizens, but the premise of the show and the audience's…

The best part of the episode was Mellie's speech to Fitz asking what it's like to be that hot for someone. Whether angry or drunk or plaintive, Mellie's speeches to Fitz are always great moments, and this was no exception.

Yes, he did, and no, it hasn't been mentioned since. You didn't miss anything.

Loved the Sheldon and Howard plot, which was a great exploration of their relationship. The Raj and Amy plot was less successful, but had its moments.

At first I thought it was amazingly cool how people were willing to hear out Marla and engage in an honest dialogue about her opinions, especially since my first instinct was to immediately dismiss her as a troll. Anyone who's flinging around words like "retard" and personally insulting people just because they have a…
