Is it just me, or have the post-hiatus episodes as a whole been underwhelming? This far from spectacular season finale is no exception.

How to Get Away with Murder Season 2, Episode 14: The Fountain of Truth (and Vodka)
Quite a few significant things were finally revealed this episode, promising a very interesting final chapter to the second season.
Book Challenge, February 2016: Exquisite Joy and Despair.
February was a great month for my reading goals, not just because of the number of books I managed to get through, but also thanks to the absurdly high quality of the books. What I appreciate most in story-telling is beautifully fleshed out characters, and this month’s selection offered an abundance of them without skimping on world-building and plot. They are all very different, yet bizarrely similar in the way they focus on duty, agency, personal choice in the face of tradition and systematic oppression, all with a big ol’ helping of political intrigue. All seven handle the less then pleasant subjects of slavery, rape, and child abuse, though oddly enough it’s the book about the prince forced into becoming a pleasure slave that is the least harrowing to read.
This past month I’ve read:
How to Get Away with Murder Season 2, Episode 13: Plot Twist of the Knife
This was my favorite episode since the hiatus and one of my favorites this season. The side stories didn’t distract from the main plot, the present was cut seamlessly with the past, everything mostly made sense, and Eve is back.
