    Yeah, I'm not the biggest April fan but I've been loving her these past few episodes. The scene in the parking lot with her giving everyone instructions through a megaphone reminded me of how far she's come, going from a stammering and whiny mess in her early seasons to a confident, calm, capable surgeon.

    I've been absolutely loving Tahani these last few episodes, especially after only being a bit lukewarm about her during the first couple of episodes. She's become one of my favourites and Jameela Jamil is nailing it, imo.

    I'd be down for that. But to be fair, I actually liked Madison around Strand, Alicia and Ofelia. It's just that whenever she's around Travis or Nick (or even just thinking about Nick) that she gets unbearable.

    Even the thought of Scott possibly being a baddie makes me so sad. If it actually happens I might just fling myself into the sun.

    With so much betrayal and so many secrets on this show, I love it when characters just turn out to be good people, like Scotty, Shay and Adele. And I was also never one for the Cosima/Delphine relationship (don't know why, just never felt it) but I loved the Cosima/Shay relationship.

    I might be in the minority but I miss Shay :(

    I don't disagree that Clarke and Lexa had a meaningful relationship but it still doesn't change the fact that Rothenberg chose to kill Lexa off in a meaningless way, which was almost exactly the same as how Tara was killed off Buffy 10+ years prior. Like I said before, I think a lot of fans did expect Lexa to die this

    "I think why Rothenberg talked so much about the relationship was because it mattered to him that Clarke was a queer female lead, that she was a bisexual female main character on this show and was perceived as such. So when he was discussing the relationship, to him the primary goal was to establish that it is a

    So what you're saying is that he used the Clarke and Lexa relationship simply to establish that Clarke is bisexual? That means he was using the Clarke and Lexa relationship for recognition and praise but he had no intention to follow through with the representation in the long run. And as you said, a large portion of

    I think most fans did expect Lexa to die this season since Alycia Debnam-Carey is a series regular on Fear The Walking Dead but Rothenberg assuaged those fears by reassuring fans of a happy ending. According to one fan who saw the filming of the Lexa scenes in this episode and spoke to Rothenberg, he laughed and said

    Yeah, I agree that they would've had an overall idea of those scenes even if they hadn't scripted them exactly yet. But I still don't think it excuses how they killed her off the first time. Besides, most of the fallout has been about how Rothenberg continually talked up Clarke and Lexa's relationship despite knowing

    The Lexa scenes in this episode were shot in January while her death scene was shot around October last year.

    I saw a clip of that Shawn Mendes scene sometime last week and I honestly thought it was just something to promote the show because it seemed so out of place. Imagine my surprise (and disappointment) when I was watching and it was an actual scene.

    I mean just little things, like when they would have characters leave something valuable unguarded then they'd turn around and be surprised it was stolen, or they would wander into an obvious trap. You'd think centuries-old vampires and heretics would be smarter than that. I remember in season 2 where the Salvatore

    I just assumed it was Julian but it could've been Nora. I guess it isn't all that important who did it specifically.

    I ask myself that same question. The show has really gotten so bad but I'm with it until the end. Damn those wonderful first two seasons that drew me and made me love the characters.

    I agree with what you said about the episode being *almost* good. Whenever I started to like it, it just got bad again. I feel like Julie Plec and co. have really dumbed down the characters to make their storylines work. The TVD characters of old would always outsmart each other to get the upper hand but now,

    Oh, I agree with you about Grey's since I really didn't like her on there and she just didn't seem to fit with the cast. But I love her on JJ, so I'm going to put it down to the character rather than her acting.

    As someone who went into the show without any knowledge of Jessica Jones whatsoever, I definitely thought that they were ex-girlfriends. Apparently they're not, which makes me sad and annoyed at the missed opportunity (Krysten Ritter and Rachael Taylor had some serious chemistry in that scene).

    I thought he was trying to prove that Sam had something to do with the Lila muder to get back at Annalise since he thinks she was the one who got him fired.
