You're welcome! I'm glad they were to your taste.

He's so unrelentingly awful! I was excited when I saw previews for whichever first or second season ep it was where they were going to do a flashback to show us how they met, because, finally, I thought, we would get to see what made Olivia like him. And then, nope, it's just an inexplicable connection, which works well in prose, but not so well on screen. The way characters keep saying he's a good person makes me think we're kind of supposed to believe that, but there's nothing to show us that. Instead, we see him disregarding boundaries, behaving horribly to his wife and children, and killing a dying woman.

It sounds like you're basically caught up. One of the things I've found even more disturbing about last season and especially this one is the way the men on the show (particularly Fitz, Jake, and Rowan) talk about Olivia. They clearly don't understand that she's an autonomous person, not a possession for them to fight about/taunt each other over. The fact that no one seems to have any problem with it is really making me side-eye Shonda and the writers.
