Agree—I quit OUAT after the first season; same with Blacklist. Although I am still hate-watching The Comedians, I am just about ready to stop that as well. It is already difficult to like Josh Gad, but it is almost impossible to watch him playing himself in the worst light possible.
Also, agree that the acting has been…

My mother turned me on to Stan Freberg when I was 8 or 9. Loved the Bridie Murphy parody, and the Green Door among others. This man was a genius in his own right—I would say that he was the father to George Carlin as much as to Weird Al. I wish I had kept my mother's LPs—she probably had 3 or 4 of them. Great tribute…

It came very close to a Norman Conquest!

That's hilarious.

Actually, these past few episodes are the first time that the writers have made Juliette interesting. Bitsie is really enjoying her evil self character, and it brings out a great conflict to the drama. I wonder how the writers are going to go with this—Juliette forming an alliance with Adalind, maybe? I think that…

I can't get over how powerful that Nick's sperm-plosion must have been to impregnate Adalind all the way over in Bavaria, or where ever she was being held at the time. That was some money shot, I would think.

I just don't like how she is written. Or maybe cast. She is obviously in her mid twenties, but the writers are giving her a post-adolescent character—despite her kick-ass skills, she is continually portrayed as a damsel in distress. And I also find it difficult to believe that she and Oliver were that close before he…

Maybe sociopath is the wrong label. Perhaps this show is providing a teaching moment for me to not use labels so carelessly. But I still think that she was not so much victim in the Brian rape story. I will humbly accept that I am wrong if the next two episodes dispute my projection. I agree with you and Thomas R that…

I wonder if this will be the episode that Clyde submits for Emmy consideration?

I think that that this was the best episode thus far. The reviewer is right—nobody is saved from anguish, unbearable anguish, whether it is self-imposed, or based on the projections made from others. I really felt for Tony and his father during their juvie visit. Great acting all around. This show has not lacked for…

I hope Paige and Henry enjoy foster care.

I hope that there will not be a third season. After the conclusion of the Joe Miller case, I feel as idiotic as those jurors for giving up 16 hours of my life watching the first two seasons. And since people don't really change that much, I will probably be idiotic and watch another season if it happens. I do…

I agree. Iris and Thea need to take a long vacation together. Their characters insult all the other better drawn out female roles on the two shows.

I am commenting prior to reading any of the other comments. Tonight we saw Freddie Highmore turn into Anthony Perkins. This kid, who I fell in cinematic love with in Finding Neverland, has evolved during the course of this series into a bona fide Norman Bates. Well played, Freddie! And what an actress to play…

KGB agents disguised as Merry Maids?

The abuses that Aubrey experienced began long before she was placed in foster care. I do halfway believe her story about her foster brother and his friends abusing her in the garage, but I think that it was not so much abuse, as consensual—so that she could feel some kind of empowerment and control, acting out the…

I thought for sure that Gunner had signed his one way ticket to Bob Paris' marsh cemetery with this reveal.

This reminds me of the Brando "I coulda been a contender" speech at the end of "On the Waterfront."

Or if Grandma Ida from Mad Men had visited Maddie and Daphne during the CMA's.

For one thing, Connie Britten was flat through the whole song. Also, it was one of those times when the creators tried to shoe-horn a song to amplify the plot, and that also fell flat. Third, it was not a great song.
