Transphobia is a serious issue and I have a trans partner but both of us would much rather focus on the real bigotry than participate in an outrage circle jerk focused in the wrong direction (towards incidental unintended transgressions in pop culture). There's plenty out there, this just makes us look stupid.

I'd give this review an A, completely nailed it. Gotta say though, Chase flirting with Liv who didn't seem to mind that much even though seconds earlier he murdered a human in cold blood, this episode's tone was off a lot.

Awesome, an easy one. Pet Sounds.

Seriously, a two second gag one-liner of the kind that South Park used to make on a routine basis on regular basic cable a decade ago triggers us enough now we need to highlight it as a trigger worthy observation? My trans fiance thought it was funny and we didn't even think to be offended, smh.

Actually I think one of the things about this show compared to Lost is the lack of mythology. One could make inferences and offer their own perspective on the mysterious things that happen but it's just as easy to see them as pure allegory and the end of the episode drilled home the brokenness and emptiness attached…

The Leftovers isn't the best show on TV; it's better than that. Name another TV show that invented a new emotion, a new form of grief. It's devastating and beautiful and perfect and flawed. There is truly nothing like it, now or ever before.

G’Day Melbourne isn't a thing. As a Melbourneite it was pretty cool to recognise all of the locations but as with basically any depiction of Australia in American media damn is it exaggerated in terms of Australian-ess.

This show is like two mediocre shows at once, watered down West Wing and poorly executed 24.

Further cements that a guy like Bannon is simply an insecure narcissistic man full of unwarranted self importance not driven by ideology so much as pathetic ego, more Bojack Horseman than Joseph Goebbels. In other words, these people are pathetic, not evil. And as soon as we all realise it and start laughing at them…

I'm the other side of the coin, the Lindelof/Bad Robot nerd who enjoyed Lost the most right at its polarising conclusion but this show is better so perhaps I should check out the book, Perotta might have perfected the Lindelof tension/release experience.

Uh, Election Night 2010? In the Scandal universe presidential elections are two years apart from the real world???

It was a physical/visual comedy bit and a lot funnier than, say, Family Guy's similar excursions. Excusable.

I never understand reviews that don't even mention things as important as the final scene in this episode where things escalate very quickly in uncovering some crazy looking plot to disintegrate any and all major landmarks and infrastructure in America. Surely that's at least a 'stray observation'.

He will not divide us, but he will drive us to another continent

So stupid on the Alex Jones type. The guy's an unhinged lunatic but secret CIA asset running a black ops right wing propaganda operation is hamfisted even for this show

I've got a bad feeling this show is going to twist poorly around some more but I do hope Mellie wins, she's the only character on this show I like and would stretch that character more and I think she's up for it.

There's no other show on TV that implodes like Scandal. It is self-destructive like nothing else, the first episode could have formed an actually fascinating

LIke, now Nate is too obvious. This show just doesn't deal in obvious, to a fault sometimes with the convoluted ways it makes its plot twists ones you more often than not don't guess. Basically, when this show starts hinting too much it's almost always wrong.

I hope Bonnie did it. I think she might not be a full blown sociopath but she sure has sociopathic traits. The parts of her with emotion that care along with the fact that the people she is protecting/not protecting would make her actions in defending Annalise and letting Frank burn make a lot of sense.

I've only read a few comments so I'm not sure if this is unfair, but at least to the reviewer: What are you talking about??!! Helen literally killed a person and Noah sacrificed his reality to protect her. Guilt is the thing that is driving her and she is borderline irredeemable. This show probably lacks sufficient…
