I totally agree. I was really satisfied with the darker turn this season took in portraying these broken characters. Too many origin stories seemed like Litchfield was inhabited mostly by unlucky or misunderstood people with good intentions. It was smart to make Vee be a legitimately evil person with no redemptive

One of my favorite moments of this episode was the conversation between Don and Sally. I love how he calls out and questions her cynicism as unauthentic, and she responds earnestly by admitting she wants her brothers to be optimistic. It shows the genuine affection and concern Don feels for Sally, and I love that

Pete called Manuelo a degenerate before that happened. It was during the conversation after Pete's mother claimed they were sleeping together and Bob assured him Manuelo was gay. Then Pete said something like "So he's a degenerate."

I don't think Ginsburg's homophobia is a symptom of insanity or at all unique for those times. At that point, gay people were considered outcasts of society. Remember when Pete called Manuelo, the nurse, a "degenerate" after Bob told him Manuelo was not not heterosexually inclined.

I really enjoyed this episode, but the line where the female cop conveniently called Sara a hero induced a major eye-roll.

I'm not saying he didn't deserve to die, but speaking to Emily's reaction to it. There has been enough collateral damage, namely Amanda and Declan, from Emily's manipulations, which she may not be directly responsible for but undoubtedly played a role. By now she must be aware that the Graysons commit their most

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to pull for Emily and her revenge. While initially shocked by Pascal's gruesome death, her unfazed expression to Aiden later on was rather off-putting. True, Pascal was a despicable character but that was an incredibly gory and horrifying death. While Emily is not the one who

I definitely agree that the biggest problem facing Revenge is the 22-episode season. At this point, it just feels like the show is grasping at tidbits and turning them into full episodes. I can't help feeling annoyed when I see a potentially interesting character like Stevie Grayson cast off after a few episodes, at

Just a thought- Since Daniel has obviously manipated Margaeux to turn against Emily, and Charlotte as well at this time. I think it would rejuvenate the conflict, as well as give Charlotte something to do, if she were to find out the truth about Emily's real identity. At the very least, revealing to Charlotte that

For me, the fourth season of Arrested was really impressive, and I attribute that to Hurwitz' mixing of the best elements and running gags from the original series in a "reboot" that stands on its own. Of course, an AD fan will enjoy the new season far more than an AD newbie, but there's enough new material there to

Revolution completely transformed into one of the best shows on right now. Anyone who gave up on it in S1 that tuned in now would be watching a totally different show

That's so funny. In college, a guy I knew went up to me once and goes " I figured out who you are…Sara Conner? Since, at that time, I hadn't yet seen Terminator, I looked up not only Hamilton but any actress whoever played her thus far. I couldn't see any resemblance. Its kind of depressing to find out 5 years later

Did they say the original cast would return to these shows? I find that somewhat hard to believe given the big-time movie careers?

I completely agree that it is premature to call either Breaking Bad or Mad Men the best television series of all time. Both shows have yet to establish their staying power because Breaking Bad has only ended a few months ago and Mad Men has not ended yet. For me, I didn't realize how incredible The Wire was until

No woman on Mad Men has proposed to herself at this point. It tends to be a little more realistic in that shows a more subtle evolution and expansion of the female role in the workplace and at home.

Those are good points, but, while she is undoubtedly a good motivator, I still feel her stubbornness makes her unfit to be their leader. With the spirit board, Zoe ignored Queenie's pleas that they act cautiously with untrustworthy spirits and impulsively dealt with the Axeman.

Even though Zoe is powerful and most likely the Supreme, she makes really bad decisions. First, she brought zombie Evan back to his incest-prone mother, then she makes a deal with Axeman to find Madison. Was that really necessary? Zoe easily could have searched the house on her own. Maybe she didn't know better with

It seemed to me she only regretted it in terms of how it screwed with her plans. Maybe im wrong, but it seemed selfish

Ever since Emily's selfishness and lack of regret were on display with the priest situation, my sympathy for her is seriously waning. I'm not even sure it's possible to turn it around at this point. Her attempt to control Nolan's romantic life was practically the breaking point.

I think she could potentially be a really great character, but I sometimes get distracted by the actress's noticeably uneven performance. She is so good in the action scenes as Black Canary, but, when the actress is playing Sara in the dramatic scenes, she leaves a lot to be desired.
