I think this season will end up defining this show's legacy obliterating anything it was before. Time tends to be unkind to shows who claim progressiveness but don't justify the reputation.

I think it was Shonda who wanted Viola for the role, not Pete, but it's not that important. Point is he gets plenty of credit. Even by Viola. She fully admits how important the show was for her. No one is disputing that.
But credit for casting her (and giving her enough power that resulted in a scene she pitched…

yeah it's not like they had a whole season to explain why Wes was killed and Annalise's house was blown up.

I guess you caught how he let is slip it was always going to be Wes only to go in damage control mode immediately after?

Nowalk is saying Laurel's dad and his world and all that will play a mayor role in next season.

It also tells a hell of a lot about Nowalk an co.

It's not that well defined which is what is hidden behind him pointing out he's just a comedian (they all do that to varying extents to be fair). Again it depends on the guests or the specific topic.

The article is largely in agreement with my opinion on Maher.
I think he's indeed trying to gain some relevance in a field that is much more competitive than it was when he was one of its pioneers.
I think this is probably part of the problem for him. He doesn't get nowhere near the credit he deserves partly because…

The aunt was killed in the 2nd episode, Philip was introduced closer to the midseason finale, I think the 6th or 7th episode. Whatever ended up being between the siblings (it wasn't sex) only served as an excuse for the writers to explain why Catherine would be protecting Caleb ultimately. There were clues in…

Speaking about DNA, remember when the police/DA office had the DNA of Phillip and both of his parents and couldn't figure out they were related? Ok.

We saw Sam on the pay phone, not Frank.
Next week is the finale and the Mahoneys have yet to make an appearance beyond the DNA test. That's the illusion I'm talking about. You can only talk about red herrings if you have parallel plots that may lead to the solution of a mystery. There's no such things here. There are…

Pete himself admits there are no real clues to keep track off since he decides things at the last minute. He was actually pressed to admit there were no clues about what happened to Wes in the winter premier in an interview.
It's just that there isn't a puzzle only a twist at the end.

With TV everything that is new in a moment, gets old the following week. This show plays it very safe once you think about. When they touch on an issue, they do just that, they name drop it and that's it. I've seen episodes of House when they went more in depth with some things through conversations with the patients…

It's also doesn't automatically mean she needs to terminate the pregnancy. All I'm saying is that it's a complicated situation.

This is a bit of a wild guess but what if the ICE on Wes' phone stands for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Didn't he intern with something related to them?

And Sam and Rebecca ended up dead because people assumed they were guilty of a murder Frank committed and he gets 0 crap for not having done anything to stop it.

To me it seems as if Bonnie brought abortion to the table in the first place. I mean the look Laurel throws at her confirms that it's not what they were talking about up to that point. I agree, Bonnie seemed to be protecting Annalise's feelings. Still it felt oddly inappropriate and insensitive.
I guess there is a…

Same ol´ pattern.

It truly doesn't make any sense. Especially considering none of it would have happened if Frank gave a damn.

It's not about red herrings, but the lack of a strong main plot. The characters are basically stuck between the bookend episodes without the writers knowing what they may have done in the near past or what they'll do in the near future. This means that their behavior may not make sense relative to what they did and…
