Hmm, I always thought the writers were intentionally leading us to believe Fitz is a TERRIBLE president, who doesn't know what he wants and let himself be pushed into being president. Clearly he is attractive and, we assume, charming; he's probably also a very good public speaker. Doesn't mean he has any interest in…

YES! i love the plotting, and I love the ideas the show is advancing, especially as it relates to why these people pushed Fitz to be president and what it says about them and about America. BUT "Shonda-speak" drives me NUTS (and apparently makes me capsy. Sorry.). A variety of people will have a variety of speech…

Yeah. I work at the Capitol and had to reassure my mother that a bomb is not getting past the Capitol police.

Zoe may just fall into that long line of leading characters who are the least interesting part of their own show. And it also would have been nice if her new boyfriend was less of an obviously dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker, blatantly signaling he won't stay in Alabama long (though on the other hand, makes total sense…

I assumed the cops were doing what the cops did in Buffy and creating non-supernatural excuses for supernatural deaths, so as not to scare everyone out of town. (I remember Snyder and the police chief having a discussion along those lines . . . maybe in the ep where everyone was in the cafeteria, trying to get Willow…

Does she know how to cook? She hasn't eaten real food in at least 500 years, right? Starving to death might be a more immediate concern.

Bones! Thank you! I knew I knew that guy from somewhere but it didn't bug me enough to check IMDB.

I agree with the other commenters that Jeremy didn't want to go outside his comfort zone—hanging out with coworkers at a neighborhood bar is a whole different story from a late night at a club.

Anyone else notice that when Spencer and Toby were having the conversation about the doctor, they started off in her kitchen, and at some point during their kiss they ended up in the coffee shop?

The pedo stuff is insanely weird, and it seriously bothered me that both Melissa and the Hastings parents chose to blame teenage Spencer rather than adult Wren for what happened. Don't even get me started on how terrible Fitz and Aria's relationship is, or why it continues to be a story.

Coincidentally, I saw the touring production this weekend at Kennedy Center. Maybe her secret is she was actually in DC, not New York!

Awesome, thanks! Maybe I'll check out the gift shop next time I'm home visiting my parents. Appreciate the info!

Just piping up to acknowledge the Pennsbury Manor shout-out! I grew up in Bucks County and now I want to seek out the cookbook :)

Me! I will say that. Literally the only interesting thing about Fitz is that he is president and he doesn't want to be. One of my favorite parts of this show is how it has explored the superficial qualities America does and does not want in a president. Our current president obviously broke a certain mold, but he's…

I could go either way on Mellie's motivations here.

Yes! That's what I truly don't understand about some of this show's fans. Are there really that many people out there who haven't learned great sex does not always equal true love? Every time Fitz and Olivia are together I want to yell at them to grow up already. He's terrible, he brings out the worst in her, and I…

I'm amazed at the change in Lemon from season 1 to season 2. She's the only character who seemed to actually grow up, rather than regress (side-eye at you there Brick: how do you not tell your daughters about your brain tumor???) (double side-eye at you there writers: how do you give Brick a brain tumor for like half…

I was wondering if Herb's comments about Megan were what really pushed Don over the edge. Like maybe Don was afraid Herb would demand to sleep with her next, just to see what he could get away with.

I see what you're saying about the relationship being demeaning to the character, but I think the show WANTS us to find it demeaning. It's Shakespearean. This is her tragic flaw. (Although, don't get me started on how many tv shows at the moment depict women who are hyper-competent professionally and total disasters…

Disclosure: I hate Fitz and Olivia together.
