The writing, directing, and of course, the performances, were all in top form tonight! But that ending, though… And, once more, never enough, I have to quote Denzel Washington from a few a years ago… “Viola Davis, Viola Davis, Viola Davis!!!She can leave the set of that show when they’re done shooting the final scene, knowing she’s created one of the most iconic TV characters in history!!

I really enjoyed the case, and all that it had to offer. This show always had a knack for picking some of the greatest lesser known character actors, who has donated magnificent performances to the show over these past 6 seasons, and no doubt, counting with more guest performers to come. I liked the twisted vindictiveness between Tegan and Annalise, and her having Frank scare her into backing down from the Nate Lahey Sr case.
One of the best attributes of this show, imo, is Pete and the writing team ALWAYS gave Viola episodes that allowed her to display range from subtlety to all out fury, and Viola has NEVER skipped a beat!
But that ending, though…….

Earlier this year, “All In The Family” was re-created with a stellar cast, great reviews and an award-winning turn in it’s live capacity. As I suspected, “Good Times” will go next. Casting is yet unknown, but it will go live 12/18/19. I maintain Viola Davis will make one hell of a Florida Evans. Who else are we thinking will get cast as the Evans family?

Note: Washington, who played Helen Willis in the May “Jeffersons” episode, joins Kimmel, Lear, Will Ferrell, Justin Theroux and Brent Miller as an executive producer of the holiday installment.

Not at all underwhelmed by any stretch. I think because of the pace they’ve set for their episodes, some fans anticipate every episode will be this roller coaster ride, and there will be 15 things going on in each episode. They’ve done enough of that. I love the medium pace they’ve taken. They will give us the roller coaster stuff on the final 6, i’m pretty sure. I can’t believe we are in the single digits of final episodes. Bittersweet, I tell ya…..

@emmyfan, Pete has implied she will of course make a final appearance. Unless barring any, god forbid, health issues or scheduling conflicts, it would be ridiculous if she didn’t make one final turn as Ophelia Harkness……

So, it looks like any of us who has suspected all along that Annalise is faking her death are most correct. Although i’m sure there is another twist in there none of us are expecting. I was very glad the writers didn’t suspend our belief enough (even though we don’t know much about her), into thinking Cora would be dumb enough to fall for a stranger in Nate. She really gave him the business! LOL
Aja Naomi King has really been killing it this season, but I find Ms. Pratt to be quite annoying, more often times than not!

Episode 1 & 4 of this season are my favorites! They’re showing so many different sides of Annalise this season, and Viola is nailing it! Love the stuff with Michaela and her dad, Nate & Bonnie’s exploitation of Tegan. Good Sh**t!

@luca agreed! Aja really did show up and show out! She really did a great job!

@england, the season premiere was a dynamic showcase for her! The 2nd episode is too, but in a more subtle way.
