I had a similar reaction to that whole exchange. Just another clump of weird, unnecessary dialogue to me; it added nothing.

I've kept watching because there was always juuust enough interesting stuff happening, mostly in their visual storytelling department, to make up for the pointless and clunky parts. But that's been falling more and more to the wayside, and I think my apathy is winning the war. I feel like the show has contempt for me,…

The angry reviews of the angry reviews are one of my favourite things about Sunday nights through the Fall.

I'm shocked at how much I'm loving The Exorcist, considering I started watching it accidentally. Biggest surprise of the fall for me.

I caught the last twenty minutes of the finale leading into the premiere; that awful "pee pee pants city" line is my Vietnam.

I just can't stop thinking about how much more effective the whole thing would have been stripped down to a single 1 hour episode of season finale; how much more chilling Negan would be if he didn't endlessly monologue about everything; how much more devastating it would have been as a swift, sudden brutal blow.

That would be my pick. I enjoy how flawed those characters are.

That's right; reading the character wiki, it wasn't quite the blow-out I remembered. I think I was conflating her firing with the surgery on Karev's dad (which was actually Shane's blunder; Leah was just there).

I read about that last week and was surprised. I'm a bit fuzzy, but didn't Leah leave on a very sour note in terms of her actual medical competency? I'm curious as to where/how they slip her back in.

— I appreciated the way the patient storylines wove together this episode, and was very happy for Granny June. While I understand the, "but she's old and non-critical!" reasoning, I was still pretty unimpressed with Mer and Richard's attitudes toward the whole thing—even after it resolved in their favour.

I never really understood what a 'trigger' was until I heard the phrase, 'based loosely on the early career of TV's Dr. Phil McGraw'

I followed AV Club's Facebook link to the article; some fuckwit reacted to it with the fucking "Haha" button.

Can you imagine? We could be sitting here lauding GOP Presidential candidate Billy Bush for that time he told sexist slimebag Donald Trump to fuck off.

Ah yes, and the old "50 Shades of Grey" defense: lots of women like to read smut, therefore all women secretly want to be mauled by strangers.

Make America Rape Again!

God damn liberals! Why do they have to hate everything Conservatives love!

The…the "rape police"?

Oh, poor Billy. I'm sure "play along or be fired" features prominently among reasons why actual victims of small-handed, groping orange lechers might choose not to speak up, too.

I, too, find myself endlessly captivated by Kevin McKidd's facial expressions.

Praise be to geoblockers; I'm sad enough as it is lately.
