A fun callback/continuation to Liz Lemon muttering "No, Grandma, no!" in her sleep in the Oprah episode.

Love that it's both a perfectly funny line on its own, and doubly so for those who get the reference to Tituss Burgess's role as Sebastian in The Little Mermaid in Broadway (and soon again at the Hollywood Bowl!)

They both were. She flirted with Seth Meyers in a bookstore in the second episode. Josh Meyers was the prostitute she met late in Season 1.

I actually made it myself, because I wanted/needed it that badly. If it helps, I just uploaded the video onto Youtube (I don't know how long it will last, or if Netflix/Universal will have it pulled). There are various services you can use to download the audio from Youtube videos to an mp3. (listentoyoutube.com tends…

I don't know whether it was deliberate or just a coincidence due to the actor's name, but I love that when we first met Titus's coworker last season and Titus found out he had a significant other named Michael, Titus's reaction was "Michael?! He's as gay as I want to be!" And when he finally got a boyfriend if his…

Embarrassing/TLDR admission for how much this show means to me: I've been dealing with depression for a long time, and the past few months have been particularly rough, as I've been swinging between numbness and complete despair. Sunday night I was lying in bed, nearly unable to move, kind of half-heartedly…

Damn. This show and his character on it are so terrible I forgot how fun he is on Undateable.

Watching Olivia be manipulated by her asshole father is still far more upsetting and disturbing to me than seeing her kill a terrorist with a chair.

Yep, this was the episode that restored my faith and love in the show after the wobbly first three episodes, and it's still one of my favorites of the season. Titus and Mikey's date is the most romantic thing I've seen on TV (or what qualifies as TV these days) in a while—such nice, natural chemistry—and the whole…

At this point I wouldn't be surprised at all if they turned him into a deadbeat dad who never saw his kid just like his own father, to make the character assassination complete. Yeah, it would make no sense, but nothing else about the character has this season either.

Indeed. Love her. Especially if she brings her hot gay fiance (or husband now?) with her.

Yep, that's exactly the comment I was going to make. This was the first episode that made me think the show was back in the form from last year. Steve Bus-kem-eye. The Draper joke. Gretchen's going wild montage. Cyndi. Every single moment of the Titus and adorable Mikey plot, which legitimately put a lump in my throat…

Yeah, Abby pissed her off, but she was perfectly calm when her meeting with Andrew began. It was only when he began insulting and threatening her, and bringing back the memories of everything his actions had done to her, that she lost it. I firmly believe it was his comments that pushed her over the edge.

I don't have a Twitter account, so it usually doesn't occur to me to check out anything over there, but I remembered something about Shonda tweeting her shows, so I looked to see what she had to say about this episode. And loved it.

The audience didn't accept her being thrown around. People voiced their concerns over her treatment both physically and as a devolving character.

Point taken. I suppose I was enamored by the differences in the roles Washington has been allowed to play, but Tarantino probably isn't the best example (though I do think her role in that was highly disappointing). Edited because it muddled the real point I was trying to make. It was pointed out below that women's…

On this show, we've seen Olivia Pope choked and thrown against walls, abused physically and verbally, kidnapped and assaulted. And the audience has largely accepted it, perhaps as a reflection of the real world, perhaps because violence against women is simply a trope we've come to accept in entertainment. It's just…

I love how Andrew being in a wheelchair keeps being brought up as a justification for why this was sooooo awful. As if that made him any less abusive. As if it isn't incredibly offensive to say, "Oh noes! A man in a wheelchair is soooooo hewpwess and should be treated much differently than fully able-bodied person."…

Well, I was referring more to the other vicarious thrills the show has offered through the character's dirty dealings over the years…but thanks! I will! I've already watched the scene five times, and look forward to doing so again!
