That scene was as even handed as it could possibly have been. I still side with Don, but I understand and empathize with the other side. It was a very good episode, but the story they should have skipped was the boring Russian airport bullshit. Maybe because I remember what happened so there was no payoff for me.

Not ending soon, Sean O'Neil now white knighting his reviewer from the outside looking in.
http://www.avclub.com/article/aaron-...-rape-p-212752 Usual clickbait sites weighing in as well, jezebel, buzzfeed, huffpo, etc. I find simply this delicious, because when he isn't stubbing his toe on minority and gender issues, he's an unqualified darling of the 'progressive social media.' They still swoon in their Birkenstocks at the mention of The West Wing.

Libby's original review on avclub used that and Jaimis Winston as examples of rape victims not getting justice, when they are two of the worst examples for that. In fact, they are perfect examples of how rape victims can **** up their own case.

For those curious on Sloan's interview subplot, it was nearly word for word based on Kimmel's take down on Gawker's googly eyed PR girl:

Don's argument is the same argument used for those that oppose capital punishment (one of the arguments, not all of them) in that if one innocent person dies a result of the punishment then the punishment is not morally justifiable.
I find it bizarre that people likely to support such a POV would be so taken aback by another version of it. |

Honestly, there are strong valid critiques of the aptness of the analogy whichever way you intend it.

One of the main critiques of capital punishment for death penalty opponents is that if one innocent person is wrongly executed, it is an irresponsible and unnecessary form of punishment precisely because it can lead to the death of an innocent. It's the transitive theory in action, and denying the overlap is moral relativism. |

meh. I was really hoping for more on that finale. I really didnt care for the flashback. sure it explained the character motivations for the pilot, but at this point, I didnt care for that to be explained.
When Sloan said "you both are making this more complicated than it is." must have been speaking from me, because that is how I have felt about the Maggie and Jim romance for 2 seasons now. God what a waste of time. Overall an average finale for a great series.

It was average. Kind of a letdown.
I thought he tried to do, with this finale, the thing he did with WW's season 2 premier, but it just wasn't the right time. |
