I'll always remember her as Michael J. Fox's secretary who kept catching him taking his clothes off when he was switching identities in The Secret of My Success.

And now the nitpicks:
Anita Hill? Monica Lewinsky? Does this show exist in an alternate universe with different fake presidential history or not? Or are we supposed to believe last week's fake 40th president was followed by one (Bush 1 or a fictional one) who also nominated Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, leading

I honestly can’t think of a recent episode of television I found as purely, sheerly, giddily entertaining as this one, to the point where I couldn't sit still on my couch because I had too much adrenaline pumping.

Wow, I thought the Scott Bakula interview was the most excited I could get about one of these—but I actually might have let out a little squeal when I saw she was the subject of this. I. Love. Her. Lisa Miller alone would be reason enough (NewsRadio was my favorite show back in the day and is still in my top five),

That was a legitimately great episode, for the first time this season. Yeah, there were plenty (Plenty!) of things to nitpick, but then, it’s “Scandal.” I was enjoying it too much to care.

I had no idea this episode was so widely hated. I really, really love it, solely on the basis of the Liz plot. I can take or leave the Donaghy plot, but every single moment of Liz's plot is gold. GOLD! Dancing in the aerobic class at the beginning. The employees fawning over her. Her sheer delight at the prospect of

I know this is a kids' show (technically), but enough of the Coal Hill kids, please. PLEASE.

"Mellie has shown herself once and for all to be a world-class bitch with a hole in her soul." Gee, you make that sound like it's news—or a bad thing. (But then, you also seem to think she "spun her rape for political advantage," when the only thing she did with her rape is tell no one about it for more than fifteen

Except the issue wasn't adultery. It was, "Our daughter was captured on film having sex because you're a bad, neglectful mother."

The woman who had to cover up his own sex tape by claiming it was her he was having sex with on the tape?

That Mellie line wasn't at all hypocritical, because Fitz getting on his high horse about the sex tape and blaming Mellie was rich considering HE had a sex tape go public—the one with Olivia in Season 1 that Mellie then had to cover up for him and claim was her. Yeah, Mellie was the one who had to fix that. She's in

Much, much better than last week, but geez Fitz is stupid. I can't even be annoyed by it. I'm just tired. So so stupid. Trusting Rowan? Ever? Really? It was dumb at the end of last season, and it's dumb now. So so dumb.

I'm a little sad Ed Weeks isn't getting more love in the comments here—and it took me this long to find the first (and so far, only) comment about him—considering he made the episode for me (and there's a sentence I never thought I'd write). For all the bitching about Gwen's review, at least she didn't overlook him.

No complaints here. I love this type of episode—just 20-odd minutes of hanging out with characters I genuinely like, no one being an asshole, no manufactured drama, just good characters being funny and entertaining. Just what I needed after a long day.

Mellie should have shoved Abby off the damn balcony for daring to speak to her, and for that terrible speech. For a second there, she was working the crazy eyes and I got my hopes up…and it didn't happen. That was her only misstep in an otherwise stellar episode for Mellie. (And shut up, Abby.)

This is what I waiting for Myles to discuss in the review, though it looks like he didn't know. It's what always stuck with me about the episode (because there's not much else there), though Cuse's story in your link is slightly different from what was said at the time. Back then, the story reported by the gossip

Always glad to see some love for the Jin/Sun pairing, especially how polarizing their episodes can be. I always loved them, and can't think of an episode of television that made me cry harder than the one with their ultimate fate.

I expressed a half-serious opinion about the show based on the promotional material, which exists for the purpose of judging whether the show is something the viewer would want to watch.

Ugh. I never watched "Six Feet Under," but I remember when the above image was being used in the ads for it and the irrational hatred I had for it based on that picture alone. There's something so off-putting about it—the stupid cheesy faces they're making, the dumb poses, the forced whimsy of it… All it tells me is

Bellamy Young! I've been waiting for her to get some recognition since Season 2, so it's nice to finally see it. I'm sure she doesn't have a chance of winning against Gunn, but the nomination is very, very well deserved.
