I definitely think the writers are going for a kind of "we're all whores, so we might as well be whores on our own terms" message, and I 100% get that not resonating. It doesn't really play to my emotions either, but I find it interesting to try and parse out just what the hell all this trashy insanity is supposed to…

I think her weakness in regards to her brother is just another facet of her struggle to find her own strength. He's a crutch, and a completely unhealthy one. Claire found a kind of agency at the strip club she'd never had before, an owning of her body that gave her the stones to lash out at her brother. But then when…

I guess opinions differ on Gaga's performance more than I thought, because I didn't realize anyone thought she was doing any work near "award-worthy."

Can we all take a moment to collectively chuckle at the fact that Lady Gaga got an acting nomination from the HFPA this morning for her work on this show? I know they're all a bunch of starfuckers over there, but GOOD LORD, MAN.

I thought he said Rodger (it's possible I missed the line you referred to), but even if he got them confused, Grace still knew he killed one of them, so she would have known the story that #5 killed both twins for finding out her "secret" was false.

Pete flat out said that he killed Rodger, though, so Grace knew Chanel #5 couldn't have killed "the twins" in this hypothetical, ultimately-accepted-as-truth situation.

The lapses in logic of these final two episodes were baffling. When everyone was pointing fingers at the Chanels in that finale episode, Hester (or maybe Chanel?) mentioned how Chanel #5 killed Rodger & Dodger for discovering she was the Red Devil… with Grace standing right there, shortly after Pete confessed to…

That kid got work? GOOD work?

I watched this for the first time last night since my usual shows weren't on (and since Telenovela was so awful that I couldn't switch the channel quickly enough), and it felt really awkward to me. Having watched Top Chef and roughly 500 other cooking competition shows on Food Network, the silence of this show made me…

Jeremy Jordan seems to always play such punchable characters (Jimmy on Smash, Jamie in The Last Five Years, Winn).

This wasn't a great episode, but the amazing dialogue had me in stitches.

No doubt they've always burned through plot, but I think they upped the stakes on those quickly-resolved storylines this year, like Hakeem being kidnapped and then rescued halfway through the very next episode, so it's been harder to digest (for me, anyway). Plus we had the obvious season arc of who would take over…

Danny Strong did an interview with Deadline, and he seems to realize that the show (or at least parts of it) is a crapfest right now. He blames the decline in quality and ratings on too many guest stars, an extended season, and oversaturation. I would probably say its biggest problem is burning through 400 plot points…

Oh, ok… so you're just crazy. Good to know. I won't engage any further.

The real one? Let's look at their numbers the week of November 16-22, since that's the last time they all aired originals in the same week.

I was just curious since if you were really reading ratings, you would know that, regardless of how many viewers it has lost since its series premiere, Gotham is well above iZombie, Arrow, and usually The Flash, and it tied Supergirl this week.

What ratings are you looking at?

You nailed exactly why I'm not enjoying this season of Arrow at all. So far, it's been one long set-up for another show. The Flash is doing it as well, but not as heavy-handedly as Arrow, which has devoted multiple episodes to almost no overarching storytelling in favor of reintroducing characters that will be on…

I thought the overproduction and overdirection were hilarious, like a High School Musical finale song on crack.

To me, the most absurd thing about Lee Daniels popping up was that he rejected Lucious's idea (self-centered though it was) in favor of doing "something different" with the Pepsi commercial… which amounted to Jamal and some backup dancers standing on a stage and doing the Percolator during the instrumental breaks.
