Of course not. In real life. This is fiction, and this particular piece of fiction is full of characters doing things human beings shouldn't in real life, and often allows viewers the vicarious thrills that come from that. I've certainly been around the internet long enough to know that many viewers consider shows…

I said "for me." I wasn't speaking for "most people." And if you think Andrew was defenseless, you weren't watching that scene. Unless he's defenseless because he was in a wheelchair…which is a lot more offensive to people with disabilities than anything that happened in the show.

So being in a wheelchair should give him a pass for being a terrorist, a traitor, an abusive misogynist and a murderer?

I'm truly sorry you feel that way; I know what it's like to have a show ruined for you. It's just interesting to see how something that can ruin a character for one person can save it for another. That moment was the most I've felt for Olivia in longer than I can remember—maybe this entire season. I was literally…

COUNTERPOINT: All right, I'm just going to say it. As someone who has been hating on the show for weeks and has thought it awful, I have no idea why anyone would have a problem with Olivia's actions in this episode, or think them worthy of earning the episode an F. None. After all, this is a show where the President…

For what it's worth, last year on the final season of Revenge, Madeline Stowe's character supposedly died a few episodes before the finale, and she did interviews on all the usual entertainment sites—including Entertainment Weekly—about how it was right for her character to die before the finale and she was ready to…

For what it's worth, Alan Sepinwall posted the raw footage of the verdict being read in his review (a little easier to focus on Kardashian's reaction than in the clip Pilot posted in her review). Kardashian certainly doesn't look pleased (Sepinwall describes it as "dawning horror"). I could believe this guy running…

Here's what Marcia Clark has to say about him in her interview with Vulture on the finale:

Also very worth a read: Dominick Dunne's article from the December 1995 Vanity Fair on the reaction to OJ post-verdict.

I love David Walton, but I hope this is the last we see of Sam and he gets away from these people. I loved him telling off Jess at the end, which was completely justified and awesome.

Interesting. I spent most of this episode thinking what a mistake it was to rush into yet another election. I mean, it was just two years ago we were watching the last election, and they spent the two years prior to that showing flashbacks to the previous one. It's starting to seem like all this show does is election…

I thought it was alright, but kind of bland. It has all the things that should make me love it…yet, I didn't.

The top picture should probably be updated. That's the original cast of "The Catch," half of which have been replaced and recast. (The guy in the middle is now Peter Krause; the girl from "One Tree Hill" is now Penny from "Lost."

I miss when Olivia Pope wasn't a complete moron. The fact that she didn't immediately recognize that Jake met Vanessa in exactly the same way he met her and it was a setup made her look incredibly stupid. Treating it like a big reveal at the end and not something that was glaringly obvious made it clear Shonda thinks…

Is this the one you're talking about? http://www.huxtaburger.com.au/

Loretta Devine is a national treasure (and has been for years, of course). Her Ave Maria was the best part of the second episode, and the biggest laugh of the first episode (which had a lot of great bits) for me was:

Because those aren't the stereotypes I'm talking about, as I suspect you know full well. I'm talking about conventional/stereotypical notions of masculinity. When a man is described as "not masculine enough" (as I myself have been more than once), or you have those guys who say they're only into "masculine" guys and…

Not really, mostly due to real world experience, but now that you mention it, I probably should have been surprised. Most shows targeted at a primarily straight audience would go for the stereotype—that the ostensibly "masculine" guy is a top and the more supposedly "feminine" guy is a bottom, when of course in real…

I may be dense, but why was Cyrus looking at Michael like he was crazy when he was practicing the braids? I could buy him not caring, or understanding why he'd need to practice, but when Michael explained what he was doing, Cyrus looked straight up deranged. It made no sense, unless there's going to be some secret…

Yup. Awful. And boring most of all.
