Warning: If you haven't seen the Series Finale of How to Get Away With Murder...LEAVE!
We bid a farewell to our beloved sister Annalise Keating. She figuratively killed herself so that her true self, Anna Mae Harkness could live. That was the answer to the looming long question, Who Killed Annalise?
How to Get Away With Murder was a good show. Had some winding roads in it that either you held onto or you let go. I almost let go twice. Season 2 finale with the murderous adoptive brother & sister & the penultimate episode of Season 6. I'm still confused about which sibling killed the parents & why Frank had to be Sam & his sister, Hannah child in the end. But I held on, anyway and the Series Finale made me glad I did.
A question many might think of is, "Did anyone learn How to Get Away With Murder"? One person did! No, it wasn't one of those stupid & ungrateful students of hers. It wasn't her riddled with life issue employees.
It was her off & on lover, Nate Lahey(Yes, I am refraining from outwardly lusting over him. You guys know how I feel). He got away with the murder of an A.D.A. When the FBI keeps their focus on another person and you tell that person's truth, you still don't squeal on yourself. I was so proud of him in the end. Nate scared & ticked me off. And when he kissed Annalise on the cheek one final time, I hummed, "Let's Just Kiss & Say Goodbye" by The Manhattans.
Well, in the end, Annalise is in TV New Life probably loving on her beloved Baby Sam as her mother, Ophelia(who passed after the last trial) looks on proudly. We saw she got to go on live life & leave TV Earth via natural causes. And looks like she still got to help Christopher after all.
What Feels Like Hell is a Gift Later ~Annalise Keating
To those who watched the show, What did you think of How to Get Away With Murder? Let me know in the comments below or on the social media site you see this post on.
I know I have Big Bang Theory at 7:00 CST but after that I have had nothing to watch on TV on Thursday. And I am not accustomed for reading time to be on Thursday so, I can't wait for the return of TGIT on ABC (Gross that rhymed). Grey's Anatomy, Scandal & How to Get Away With Murder, all have been missed. So, let's catch up. Shall we?
Save your 'I don't watch Grey's Anatomy because... left, or died." talk. Until Meredith Grey is not on the show and the storyline is good (like it is), I'm still a fan. "Character Only" Fans leave. Now we left off with Karev proposing to Jo.
Will Jo say yes to Karev's proposal? I hope not. Jo is a mess and needs to emotionally grow up. I swear she is the same age she was abandoned at and she handles personal issues at that age. Then there's the issue with Hunt & Riggs. Riggs is Hunt's brother-in-law, maybe? If so, where is Hunt's sister? And of course, why is he sooo angry with Riggs? I will say that punch was intense. It truly said "So, you didn't believe fat ain't greasy. Well, I had to show you." Will Avery & Kepner get back together? I am tired of Japril's (Jackson & April) crap. Why have sex and both of you know that you are broken? But we are left with Jackson going to tell Kepner something. If he asks for a divorce, I will cry. I ship Jabril. And we have already seen on the commercials that Meredith is going to be attacked. Does this means Amelia (who better not drink that drink she ordered) has to move back in to help Maggie with the kids? I have a weird opinion about Amelia. I like her but I want her to understand that as the Grey sister-in-law she doesn't have full rights to "Meredith" information.
Oh other than the intern Maggie Pierce is seeing, these interns bore me.
I don't care if she takes off the white hat. The Gladiators better be back. I am tired of Team Fitz & Team Jake stories.
I need Olivia to get back to OPA work. That is what I loved about older seasons of Scandal, Olivia Pope was still taking care of her work. Clearly, she is bad in the love life department. But why must her job suffer? I know this show is an exaggeration of a distracted person but come on. I totally understand her parents' underlying frustrations with her.
I bet this whole Fall season of Season 5, He has been yelling this from the grave.
I just wish Papa Pope, Mama Pope, OPA, Abby, or somebody would tell Olivia Pope to FOCUS on her work. Olivia Pope loves the shadows, I don't know why she experimented with being in the public as the girlfriend of Fitz the President, anyway. OPA better be back and if an abortion is what brings it back, so be it.
Confession may be good for the soul but it can still get you shot. Isn't that right Annalise Keating.
Oh but she knew to pull the "Christophe" card on Mr. Wes. Even shot and might be leaving this world, she knows how slip in a jab on those students. Oh her saying "Christophe" was not the only "What the Heck' jab she poked with. When she told Asher that the other 4 were responsible for the death of her husband, Sam, I flipped.
All because they said wouldn't help out with the body of Emily Sinclair after Asher ran her over. I'm so glad Asher is caught up on events. His cluelessness was annoying me. Now he is on an even playing field and the Keating 5 can be whole. Now as for as the burning question, Who is Christophe? I have a weird feeling he's a link to Annalise's female lover, Eve. I have a feeling she was the one who is responsible for why Wes/Christophe was an orphan.
I have a feeling Annalise may have helped Eve do some tidying up of her problem & she has some guilt on her. But we will find out soon enough. Plus, I get to see that fine, fine Nate Lahey. We will also get to see the Keating 5 work as a whole for a change. Oh and that little pesky issue of Catherine and why she is involved in the murder of her adoptive parents. She's not dead so, we can get some kind of answer. Well, after they give us a little run around.
So Thursday, my TV will be on ABC, TGIT ready. If you are new to the blog, I am one of those live tweeters. You can find me on Twitter, under the same name giving my thoughts as the show runs. I'll go back to watching Big Bang Theory on Friday nights on ONDemand. Alright, here to Thursday night!!!
Wait, let me say this first! No, I will not be watching American Crime after Scandal on 9pm Central on Thursdays. The promo commercials didn't catch my attention and Mary Mary, Season 4 will start then. So, I will be watching Mary Mary.
Nate was arrested for killing Sam!!! (I was constantly tweeting #FreeNate because my Eye Candy on this show was in jail) Then Annalise's tough mother, Ophelia (whose language now makes me accept Cicely Tyson's marriage to Miles Davis) comes to town, set Annalise straight & leaves town. I knew with those two episodes before the two hour Season Finale of How to Get Away With Murder, that the writers of this show were building us up for a shocker. And a Shocker it was.
Who killed Lila?
By the time the answer was revealed, I just knew it was Bonnie. All the past scenes pointed at her. I thought she killed her because she wanted to be the Only woman Sam Keating was having an affair.
Oh well she's moved on to Young Asher. I hope in a future season she lets him in on what Everybody else in the group knows.
His naivete' is running thin with me. Tell him already!!! Now when you tell him get out the duct tape just in case he got to talking. Don't make Annalise whip it out.
Oh they know how to use it. Duct Tape and Trophies are rather dangerous with this circle. LoL
But it was not Bonnie. It was Frank.
Oh Sam Keating did not die in vain. He order the hit. Frank is a worker for Annalise's firm who is not a lawyer but handles special jobs requiring carefulness. Just off the top of my head, I know he does the heavy investigating for the cases. He also was the first one Annalise called to tell about Sam's murder. He planted the ring with Nate's fingerprint on Sam's dead body that framed Nate. I think he's actually a "Hit Man" and a "Handler" for the Keating family. He's just "funded" through the law firm. That's why it was easy for Sam to call him. Frank has known about the affair, both murders and all the covering up since the beginning. He is literally the first person in the show to be "getting away with murder". I can't wait to learn of his back story.
The "Who Killed Lila" storyline was not the only good part of the Season 1 Finale. I just wanted to get that part out the way. The case that was feature in the 1st hour had some twists. I really didn't expect the lady to say she was sleeping with the murderous accused Father Andrew. But it was very welcomed by me. Before all the molestation & priest stories came out to the Catholic church and to the public, I thought some of the priest were actually sneaking to sleep with women. I didn't grow up Catholic, what did I know? Actually I thought some of priest & nuns were sleeping together. Keyword is some. Many are living the vows that they devote their lives to. And while I am on the subject of priest and molestation. The next time Viola Davis, a priest and a pedophilia storyline are together, I better see Meryl Streep involved also. LoL
Nate is Free!!! Well, he is Free on bond.
Annalise scares me planting stories and stuff on him. It makes me nervous. Along with getting fired & being arrested, Nate was beat up and thrown in solitary confinement because of Annalise Keating and Associates. Luckily, Nate can decipher Annalise's actions in trying to get him free. Whoever is responsible for him explaining to the audience what she up to? Thank You!!! I can't wait to see who his lawyer is. Annalise gave him the number to contact them and he made the phone call. I won't even try to guess that one.
I love how Michaela Pratt grew "balls" after Nate's arrest. When she told Annalise that she was rallying for Nate not just because he was innocent but also because he was a black man, I was floored. I had a "did she just say that out loud". Sometimes that action is not verbally said but just understood. Oh it happens in real life also. Actually was what I think one of the three blackest moments in the show in the past few episodes. (Ophelia combing the hair Annalise a*k*a Anna Mae was THE black moment. Mr. Wes crying in Annalise's lap and she rubbing his head like a mother was the third one.) She started that whole episode to remove her layer of academia prissy weakness that she was barely hiding behind. We saw a totally real Michaela in the finale.
I was happy to see it. She was the only character that worried me all season long. The whole show I really thought "She could snitch at anytime". I needed her to find her calm spot. Now this new "ring" revelation might set her back a tad (or get Laurel smacked) but I have faith she will keep her wits about herself going forward.
Well next season we look forward to some new storylines and character developments.
Connor reeling from Oliver's admission of being HIV+. He gave up whoring around for this guy. Just as long he doesn't go back to his promiscuous ways. It was very stereotypical, IMO.
Wes worrying about the whereabouts of Rebecca. Poor thing!!! His face looked like a wet gummy bear while he was being soothed by Annalise.
Oh yeah, Rebecca is Dead!!!
She could've committed suicide. She was probably murdered. Anybody but Annalise & Frank, so it seems could be the murderer. The murdered made it look like she ran away, only for her to be found dead behind a water heater by the aforementioned. Who Killed Rebecca??? My Early Guess is Bonnie.
She was very chatty and attitudinal right before it is discovered that Rebecca was "missing". Plus, she has a lot to hide. Again it could be anyone on the show. Anybody!!! The same door she "escape" from could've been the entry point for someone that was not known to be in the house.
Oh, I'm including Wes, also. Standing there, staring at the chair she was in and this "Oh my love is gone" tears don't sway me from adding him to the list.
Oh and I hope the murder weapon is Duct Tape! LoL
But in the words of Richard Pryor, "We Shall See"!!! My anticipation for Season 2 is already swelling. Who do you think killed Rebecca?Put your answers in the comments below.
I finally left that place Thursday with a shocked & confused looked on my face. I was perplexed. Not only did Shonda Rhimes debunked All my Theories, she also gave me more to think about.
Grey's Anatomy
First I want to give Shonda Rhimes a Great BIG Thank You for the breakup of Callie & Arizona.
I hated them together. I don't like Arizona. She is a good pediatric surgeon but spoiled & selfish person. Callie can do so much better. I Do Not want them back together. Please Keep Them Divorced!!!
Arizona will be busy anyway. She has to learn from the great Dr. Herman before she dies.
Or will she??? Amelia Shepherd feel likes she could turn the illness around for her. Will she accept the offer especially since Arizona snuck and got her personal records to give or Amelia.
Richard & Maggie are finally starting to heal. Got a little shaky there for a moment. After she told him off on the Shepherd's porch,
I just knew it was going to be 2015 before she would come around. But I told you Meredith would be the common thread to mend all of this. I loved when Maggie told Meredith she was excited about dinner at her house because as a single person she was lonely. I really loved when Meredith took her to the Grey home and let her know that she was welcomed to use that as a loneliness refuge.
Well Ellis Grey's daughters are playing nicely. Now can we get her oldest girl's marriage out of limbo when we come back. I knew he going to take the job. Meredith kept on pushing him.
I predict they will drag this out until the finale. And if the rumors about Patrick Dempsey leaving the show, a Divorce decree will be sent to Meredith.
The baby of April & Jackson is having bone problem in the womb. And who knows this, Stephanie Edwards, Jackson's ex.
I will predict there will be drama. The words jealous and bitter will thrown Edwards way. Jackson & April will fight about what plan of action should be done about the fate of Baby Japril. Catherine Jackson & Karen Kepner will join forces and become Super Grandmas to keep some sanity to these awaiting parents. I know that is frightening
Scandal
Ok I was wrong about a Mellie-Olivia showdown. But that Mellie-Elizabeth showdown was the best.
I can't wait for the a Mellie-Andrew showdown. Mellie is going spit fire upon this man's head. Mellie is Back!!!
Okay Olivia Pope has been Kidnapped. The Fixer has been stolen. First episode back, All hands will on be deck. That will include Papa Rowan/Eli Pope.
Oh Fitz & Jake will need his help. But when they find out Papa Pope's help comes at a price or he is actually working with Andrew & Elizabeth to set the "Fixer-Napping" up, they better not be shocked. If they are I will them that "Shut all That Crying Up" look of Maya Pope.
Oh and Huck's wife will come around and allow him slowly back in. Let's just hope it's not too late to save the mental stability of little Javi. He can't unsee his daddy kill that man and that can mess a kid up.
How to Get Away With Murder
Okay yes my theory was debunked.
Now for my theory. Sam Keating's murder may have been an accident. He goes to confront Rebecca and it got violent and he's dead. She called Wes and the other students and they "help" her. Annalise Keating does Not know her husband is dead, right now. The point of the show is "How we, Keating's client & students got away with the murder & cover up of her husband". This will be a big cat & mouse game with one question, Will Annalise Keating ever find out?
All Sam had to do was die the first time when he fell chasing Rebecca and the others. The accident part would not have been so off. As for Annalise not know well she's like Papa Pope on Scandal, they just have to know everything. I could Not with TV when they showed her at that desk when Wes apologized to Sam's lifeless body.
I can't wait to see the events that she saw through her eyes.
How does I feel about Sam being the murderer? I'm good with that. It gives him another bargaining chip to use with Keating. I am just happy it was not Fine. Fine. Nate.
That character is already bitter & scornful because he lost his job (Because of Bonnie, not Annalise and I wish that would be told to him). I didn't want my Eye Candy to be a killer also. My heart couldn't handle it.
Now my heart can handle that Nate, Annalise, & Bonnie are in on the alibis. When Annalise fired Bonnie, I think that was a rouse. Annalise may have been planning to kill Sam herself and Bonnie was in on the plan. The plan went awry when 4 of the Keating 5 and Rebecca got in the way. Plans had to change when she saw him dead. Wes filled her in on the details. That phone call to Bonnie was so Annalise could catch her up to speed on the details.
Nate is in on the 2nd albi after Sam was dead. Why??? Sam is dead & out the way. I'll keep you secret as long as you have sex with me. Also if Nate gets his job back, don't be surprised. Also don't be surprised when 4 of the Keating 5 (maybe all 5 if Bonnie who slept with Asher sways Annalise) get automatic A's in the class.
Laurel will tell Frank during pillow talk. Sam will be at a crossboard.
The Season Finale we will find out who actually killed Lila Standgard.
So that's that!!! I might be back after the first shows of the Spring. I have feeling Scandal will move quick with getting Olivia Pope back. She is the linchpin.
So would do you think about what is going on in Shondaland so far? Leave your comments in the inbox.
Always, Talking to You in Adult
Oh Yeah, can we All sing "Vagina"!!! LOL That was so Funny!!!
I ♥♥♥ Drunk Meredith & Callie!!!
OMG How to Get Away with Murder focused on a case about Domestic Violence in October. I was so stoked. I often get somewhat frustrated in October because more focus is brought to Breast Cancer Awareness than Domestic Violence.
I know it's because the attitudes & opinions surrounding Domestic Violence so, when I see popular cultural talk about Domestic Violence in October, my heart swells. So last Thursday night, my heart was Very full.
So after Annalise Keating got into fighter stance and confronted her husband about his peen being on the dead girl's phone, we are brought into a case where a young man kills his father for abusing his mother. The father was a cop so the wife felt she could not go to the police because who would believe her. Annalise Keating knew that the case depended on the emotional opinion of the jury. They discuss how things like gender, race, and other similarities should be considered in jury selection. Then the prosecuting attorney requests to have any discussion of the domestic violence barred and her request is granted. Keating and her band of students seemed screwed. So they have to come up with a way to wiggle abuse talk back into the courtroom and work on the mindset of the jury.Well through digging through a few years worth of the boy’s blog, they get what they need to have the abuse entered. Then one juror gets kicked off for a statement about how cop killers deserve to die made in a magazine.
Keating is finally delivering her closing argument in the domestic violence/murder case and Laurel finds a stack of papers explaining what jury nullification is and she “accidentally” leaves it on a bench for one of the jurors to find. Frank sees her, tells Keating and she swing this total illegal move to her advantage and the case end in mistrial, plea deal, and the boy gets probation, community service and counseling.
During the trial the police unity in the courtroom was grossly powerful. The sat there like a silent wal of blue. Here are my foremost feelings on those scenes while live tweeting during the show.
Like the first juror who got kicked off, it featured some the attitudes of Domestic Violence. It is as though all the police saw was that someone killed a fellow brother in blue. I bet none of them personally looked into if the abuse was true or not. Hate to see what had happened if the young man was found guilty of murder. A few possible scenarios in my mind don't have him living to see prison thanks to the police.
Well, Salute to the writers of How to Get Away With Murder and all of Shondaland for focusing on Domestic Violence. It may or may not have been a deliberate storyline to be shown this month but it was shown. Like I said earlier Breast Cancer Awareness is the more popular focus in October. Hey, they could have given Annalise a Breast Cancer scare yet they chose a the least popular emphasis. For the purpose of using slang, I see ya! I see ya!!!
