It's like the writers put all of their efforts into Laurel this season and there were just no efforts left over for anyone else.

Wasn't the arranged marriage a plot point in the Batman comics? In fact, wasn't basically everything in this episode a plot point from the Batman comics?

One day Iris will get to make her own big girl life decisions. And, on that day, I will like this show at least 50% more and I'll stop feeling guilty about my deep love of Joe.

Right? WTF, Eddie?

I have a hard time believing Marguiles would refuse to shoot a goodbye scene together for ANY reason. That kind of behavior, short of literal death threats by one party or some sort of physical altercation, is simply unacceptable. On one hand, I'm a little curious what happened there. On the other hand, I don't…

This is where allowing an actor - ANY actor, lead or not - to dictate the terms of the story leads to disaster. The fragmented nature of all the relationships this season was frustrating, but none more so than the absolute refusal to put Archie and Julianna in the same room. It became such a distraction that sometimes…

Except Finn told Kalinda it was strict liability and even if Diane didn't know, she'd lose her license and possibly go to jail.

Looks like the two party consent law was held unconstitutional in Illinois in 2014.

Except, if it's covered by attorney-client privilege, it can't be admitted as evidence against Bishop.

Kalinda could testify to anything she saw while working for Bishop on her own time. IIRC, she saw him drag those guys out of a car, etc. that's not covered for sure. Cary could testify about Bishop's threats or offers to help him flee the jurisdiction. What the hell they think Diane could testify about is a mystery to…

Every show needs to use Lawrence Gillard Jr. It's just they need to use him BETTER.

Eh. It can go both ways. You fire her, she's not part of the strategy sessions and she might not take the bullet for Diane.

I agree wholeheartedly, except I am never, ever indifferent to Cary.

I have to believe despite the shocking downturn in quality this season, the show won't kill Kalinda. I'm thinking witness protection or she disappears herself, as she's done before.

Remember how MAD everyone was when the helicopter killed Dr. Romano? If only they could anticipate how much more absurd things would get in The Age of Shonda.

Didn't he basically write that whole storyline destroying her character because he was pissed off she got pregnant? And then she agreed to come back for an episode in season five as long as they didn't kill Cordelia and then they, you know, killed her? Again, I like Whedon. But that situation was fucked up and he can…

I coulda been as awesome a killer as Shonda!

It's hilarious to compare the competence of Evans' apology with the incompetence of Renner's.

I can Whedon fangirl with the best of them, but he's gotten a bit insufferable lately. Time for a long nap and a couple of self financed indie projects, I think.

Yeah. I know a bunch of them in real life and there are a decent number of commenters here too. I like Felicity, but I often feel like the show forgot how to write her over the summer.
