[Spoiler (click to open)]I hate Coleman and Rachel's mum and I hate how this season presents medication and being medicated. Not that Rachel is taking a healthy amount but it all seems very anti-drugs to me which is so dangerous. Like, Mary died because they messed with her meds.

RUBY! <333

I can't believe they brought Adam back for the one episode and then he just disappeared lol. What was that about?

[purpleempire]

I know I thought he would be in this episode but he just...left? WTF?

[williammiller]

Bringing him back was completely pointless.

I guess these showrunners went to the Kurt Sutter School of Doing Too Much. The reason we liked the show to begin with was the meta-ness and the subtlety. Then they gas themselves up with the praise and turn the show into a competition with itself to see how outrageous it can be. It's exhausting and not fun and I now dislike it for all the reasons everyone else mentioned, especially OC #1 and mspopstar.

I enjoyed this episode more than I have in a while, probably because it focused on the characters and not taking my life and presenting it to me as a plot point. I'm back to not liking anyone. I don't understand if Quinn actually cares for Rachel or not (typing that is still so weird!!!!). I don't understand Jay's motivation for anything. I don't understand Colemon. I just don't understand.

YES to everyone's complaints in the post so far and can we talk about how annoying/upsetting that the only "big secret" a woman can have is a) she was raped or b) she can't have kids and of course Rachel landed up with the number one big secret as to why she is the way she is in that she was raped. of course. There are so many things that can traumatize a person, but if it's a female character YES OF COURSE SHE HAS TO BE RAPED.

Don't like the anti drug angle either, I know Rachel's mom is satan but still.

Also agree about the Yael arc, super ick that she had to sleep with Jeremy to get intel (vomit). I mean I doubt she can use a lot of this info too? Idk.

ALSO. Ugh at them having Quinn cave into Booth wanting to have kids. Ugh. Ugh.

[bigfuss]

Ignore me. I am cranky as hell today and taking it out on this show. lmao

[sparklytootsie]

Also they blatantly used it to grt us back on Rachel's side. She contributed to the shooting of someone! That doesnt really go away.

Also this Quinn/Booth thing has me confused because its been two weeks and Quinn is too grown and too cynical to buy into this

[purpleempire]

IA this show tries to emotionally manipulate you (I mean...all shows do) into forgetting the shitty things people in it have done by introducing a terrible thing that happened to them.

What happened to Rachel was fucked up (and is cheap writing) but it doesn't excuse the hand she had in Mary's death/countless other terrible things.

I really thought this season was going to be about Quinn and Rachel kicking ass and taking names.

The only high point for me was seeing Ruby again and what she said while rejecting Darius.
