It couldn’t have been delayed. The midseason finale has always been in November, so an episode this far into the season has always aired way past the holiday season.

This show has always been a soap that happens to have a diverse cast, with the exception of Annaliese. I have a different perspective after watching all of Scandal during the break (please do not make the same mistake. It has all the same problems this show does, turned up to 11, with far fewer relatable…

I hate our lives,” Michaela says, exasperated, at one point. It’s slightly funny, and it’s also indicative of a big problem with How To Get Away With Murder, which is that everyone’s lives have indeed become so exhausting and dismal that it’s getting harder and harder to watch. Everyone is miserable! It’s why…

What isn’t right is Annalise even entertaining the idea about having anything to do with him.

Annalise’s storyline is really working for me. It gives me good hopes for the future of the show.

But the problem with separating Annalise from the pack has always been that her storylines are infinitely more captivating than the Keating 4's. Laurel, Michaela, Asher, and Connor are nothing without Annalise. But even more so, this ensemble of young actors is nothing without Viola Davis.

It’s been having a weird effect though. It still works politically for republicans but at the same time it’s obviously considered a PR disaster to be aligned with Trump on anything race related.

Absolutely. The main difference between Trump and the rest is that he’s way too dumb to pull off the dog whistling and all those tactics that allow them to avoid being explicit while getting the message across. No one seems to notice but “many sides” and stuff like that is Trump’s version of dog whistles. He just…

I agree. It’s been very obvious since last november. It’s been often said that Trump was elected because of the economy but it’s undeniable that how he was supposed to fix it in his base’s minds is through racist policies. I even insist it’s racist when people claim they vote bigots for unrelated issues because they…

It’s as if they were desperately trying to get front row tickets for their seats on the wrong side of history. The right wing is practically admitting racism is the defining trait of their ideology. I’m not even saying everyone voting for them is racist but that they know that without racists they can’t get elected.

You can also go nearly anywhere else in the country and enjoy seeing her and her hubby reduced to a punch line of countless jokes.

Of course, these facts aren’t harped on continously every day, because it would destroy your narrative of how awful and privileged white people are in this horrible country.

I think it’s a consequence of the false equivalence/artificial balance dominating public discourse on top of obviously being a common symptom associated with being historically considered of lesser worth. Everything left of moderate right wing ideology in the US considered radical. Combine those 2 things and that’s…

It’s obvious that the way slavery was thought to them was some apologetic take on it. I mean it’s not as if the notion that it was wrong has entered the collective mindset yet, let alone that it was indefensible under every circumstance/barbaric/inhuman/horrific.

I’m not particularly surprised by her non-apology. She comes from a place where she probably feels she’s beyond criticism when it comes to racial issues.

Call me cynical but he didn’t sue over the Whitney biopic that made him look like a victim either. Maybe he hoped this one would portray him in a similar way in which case he’d be fine with it.

Unfortunately for Quincy, the incident was not the first time he dealt with racial bullying. His mom says his “baby fat” and “brown skin” make him a target.

To paraphrase Ana Navarro, to only excusable reason for his brain to abort such abomination is early on set dementia. Maybe.

That may be just it. Life has made me face the inevitability of death and change well enough that the notion about that being supposed to be the subliminal message of The Return would have never registered with me in any meaningful way.
