The moment Lydia stepped from the shadow, I realized it was the same actress that played the "ghost" in What Lies Beneath. I was expecting her to morph into Michelle Pfeiffer.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!
Hold up, though... The author (his name escapes me) in prison knows the whole shebang. He knows who Emily is and if Victoria was to be convicted of her murder, would know she was framed. How will that be tied up?

This season has been the most campiest fun, everything about ticks all the right boxes. Lydia coming out of the shadows at the end was a huge WTF moment. Emily on the phone to the butler, fake babies. Its a gay mans heaven.

Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

So, it's basically going off the air for three months? Seriously?
Is anyone else getting tired of these "mid-season finales" followed by long breaks?
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

IIRC most breaks in the past have only been a few weeks. What ABC is rolling out this year is having, almost, uninterrupted airings of their most popular dramas (Grey's, Scandal, Revenge, OUAT) in a row and then a very extended winter hiatus. That way there are fewer repeats throughout the season. I like the idea of uninterrupted, weekly airings and then the long break because then I can finally start Breaking Bad. Also, when there are fewer repeats mixed in I feel like I can follow the story lines better because it is all happening a bit faster.

So then what are they going to program during these overlong breaks?

Probably repeats, definitely award shows. The only new ABC show I found with a start date beginning during the break is Killer Women starting on 1/7/14. There are a few new ABC shows starting in March, when all of the other shows are back. Most of the other networks are doing the traditional, shorter hiatus. Mindy Project, however, will have a fall hiatus for 4 weeks, come back for 4 and then has a winter hiatus for a few more weeks.

You're exactly right, iflip... The networks are following the model that has brought success to some popular cable series: Fewer episodes, airing without repeats. The networks have basically aired their top programs, without interruption, for the Fall season. They will then introduce mid-season programs during the winter, and return to the Spring season with a run of new episodes of the popular Fall programs. (For the most part, although not all shows will return in the spring). The feeling was that an audience will stay tuned-in if there are no repeats mixed into the middle of serialized storylines. There have been some unavoidable breaks (sports events, awards shows), but this pattern is working pretty well for them.
This also provides the networks with a firm start for new/mid-season shows, rather than waiting for a Fall program cancellation. They can plan for the schedule and promote it more effectively.
ABC aired the AMAs and a Hallmark special the last two Sundays, but Revenge aired without interruption up until now. The Fall season finale is highly anticipated, and will give the show a great opportunity for a mid-season 'cliff hanger', enticing viewers to tune in again in the Spring.
Bluemoon is absolutely right about networks not counter-programming during the winter Olympics. You will see very little original fare during this time.

Thoughts on Sunday's episode? I knew Lydia was going to find that damn picture! She's like that character in a horror film that just never dies! Emily needs to kill her now.
