I actually thought the abortion episode was really well done, but Olivia as a mom could have been interesting. What kind of legacy does she want to leave a child? Would this change her priorities? I typically hate the trope of motherhood making someone a better person, but I'll pretty much take anything that would…

I'm not sure what you think I'm "twisting," since I never said that lots of fans don't like Fitz. I said he's toxic and abusive, which he is. There's nothing "humane" about feeling up a woman while she says "No, stop," which Fitz did to Olivia in the pilot and continued to do many times throughout the series. I'm…

Sure, but fans have been complaining about Rowan, Jake and B613 for almost two years now. She's had plenty of time to steer the ship in another direction, and it seemed like the first half of the season got mostly positive buzz for doing exactly that. Don't get me wrong, I hate Fitz too, but at least watching Olivia…

What I hate most about the character is Olivia's treatment of him—I don't care that he's her father, he's murdered and tortured people she loved. Why does she still speak to him? Why does she think she can play nice, and why does it sometimes work? Why did she invite Jake to dinner with him back in the beginning of…

Given that, in the current comics continuity, Green Arrow and Black Canary haven't even met—and I'm pretty sure they divorced prior to the erasure of the old continuity—I don't think having the show end without them together is such a huge stretch. Especially since both of them are so different from their comic…

I could be wrong that they have ever called each other that, but they have definitely both referred to Joe as their "father," and that weirds me out.

That said, Abby and Ichabod should have definitely gotten together and had babies.

To be fair, Iris and Barry actually grew up together sort of like brother and sister, have referred to each other in those terms before, and routinely call the same guy their "father" (a guy who still actively ships them in-show). I am sure some people are opposed to the pairing because of subconscious racism, but…

I did think it was a weird choice to have Beast be invisible and have no one acknowledge his presence in the first one.

Scandal

In the comics he loses his wife. Hopefully due to the shit The 100 got for killing a gay character recently, they won't go that route.

If Alasdair were really committed to the bee puns, he would have given this one lower letter grade.

You're right about Cyrus—he deserves to die, though I'd settle for life in prison for him. Mellie is also terrible but I still find her interesting to watch—I realize that's completely subjective and I can't justify it on any level other than that. Seeing her behind bars would be pretty satisfying, though. Kill…

True, but a death would be so much more dramatic. I also have no idea what Shonda would do with Fitz when he's no longer president—which is another good reason to kill him off.

Lots of women love Fitz. Lots of women hate him. I can't say which group is more important to the ratings, but I can say I find the appeal inexplicable—he's a weak-willed, whiny sleazeball who has run his course as a character. He's also an abuser, though not as bad as Jake. If killing him off would be bad for the…

Ha! I wish.

Here's what could save this show:
1) Jake assassinates both Rowan and Fitz.
2) Olivia shoots Jake in revenge.
3) Huck takes the fall and goes to prison.
4) Quinn dumps Charlie. Olivia and Quinn commiserate over having such terrible taste in men and feeling a mixture of grief, guilt and relief that the men who controlled…

Thank you for laying it all out like that. It's disturbing to see Shonda Rhimes touted as a feminist writer when she constantly has her female characters submitting to the whims of men who demean them and violate their boundaries. Olivia's constant string of defeats by her own father's attempts to control her life are…

The writers of this show have fundamentally misunderstood the character of Phil Coulson since Day 1, and you hit the nail on the head on why. He is supposed to be a sort of underdog, but he's almost never felt like that on this show.

This analogy is the best analogy.
