I enjoyed Yuletide Fortune Tellers, but I wasn't sure if I should hate it. It was by definition "a very special episode." And I couldn't decide if there were something cynical about doing that — taking an episode out of time and context — or if it was just a fun way of giving us another take on characters we love.

I also sort of think Bonnie probably/maybe killed Lila. Here's my theory: (1) It would be a twist. It would still mean Sam was a piece of shit who tried to kill GothGirl and deserved to die but had not actually killed anyone (2) I could imagine Lila doing it to protect Sam and/or Annalise.

I am not a teen, but I thought Switched was a good show despite its outlandish premise. The whole end game of Daphne's spiral seems to be to keep both girls in KC. Yes, teenagers are impulsive and especially in their senior year likely to act out — but the storyline made no sense. Nor does the idea that anyone would

I had a problem with Castro being SUCH a bad guy, and his total vendetta against Alicia. I'm still confused about where THAT is really coming from or if it's just contrived.

Nice recap. I wasn't crazy about season one. Hated Piper and felt they made the series about "bad choices" made by women rather than systematic bs. This year showed a nice course correction all around, and really played beautifully into the finale — which was near perfection and deeply satisfying.

I think by continuing to keep Alicia a "wife" even in name only, the show puts her in a weird position romance wise. Why is she still married, again?

I saw it as a very unpleasant, brutal scene, that was difficult to watch. Despite Joffrey's being a little shit, this incest thing going on in front of his corpse was particularly distasteful. I did not — despite Cersie's cries of "no" see it as rape. These are twins who've been having clandestine, shameful sex with

I like the show a lot, but I think after three seasons, it's lost it's purpose. The switch is old and now we've lost that element. The other "different" thing about the show is the deaf culture element, but I don't see them going somewhere knew with it.

We used to say it was like moving back in with your parents after the world didn't quite work out.

I'm just realizing an easy organic solution to keeping people at Greendale, and it's not even contrived. In my twenties I worked as a tutor in the Writing Center of a community college. People employed there included — current students who had taken a peer tutoring class, graduates of the college, graduates of other

I don't think we bonded with the Marines. I was placing bets on which of the bearded guys was the true red-shirt, and we didn't even learn their names. I do agree with the Brody's greatest hits theme of Episode 11. We got to see him do what he does best, but he has no future. For me the grace note of the season was

I'm not normally a shipper, but I'd love to see Carrie wake up and realize that it's Quinn. It's always been Quinn. Beautiful, sensitive, brave, (less) damaged, Quinn.

I agree with most of this post, except for one thing. We love (and watch) Modern Family because it's an unrealistic, idealistic view of family life. Our own families should be this loving, tolerant, forgiving and close! Sure having at least one of those couples split would be truly "modern." But it's not why we're

Clark Johnson was awesome, but it makes no sense to me that Quinn's confession would somehow prevent someone involved with the investigation to go to "Drudge" or "wikileaks". As for Brody's involvement — given that he was calm (unlike when he was wearing the suicide vest) and it was Carrie who signaled for them to

But it's not just the history they get wrong. It's the contemporary stuff as well. Sleepy Hollow on the show seems to be where Irving's Sleepy Hollow was in WESTCHESTER county. While some of Westchester is almost rural, it's mostly a commuting community very close to New York City. They've had a Native American car

I'm sure people who never saw the show will find this insightful.

nevermind

Really well done. Also Toby is an outsider within his family in both universes proving maybe biology is not destiny.

In terms of "push" and Pete's mother: There are so many call backs here. Pete's father died in early season one in a plane crash, also I believe at sea. But mostly she went on a vacation and just disappeared — kind of like the empty suit in Don's Hawaii ad.

This actually does make sense to me as a reason why someone would like McPhee AND why she drives actual theater fans crazy. I hadn't heard it put this way before. Thanks.
