I wish the Bradley Whitford character hadn’t insinuated that Hal and Grace are “too close” —it seemed like a dumb attempt at a red herring. I could never tell if Callum was good or bad…

This season kept me on my toes! I liked it.

The whole point of this season is that Kate is realizing how similar she is to Hal. He is not more self-centered than she is. In fact, he was willing to put his own career on the back burner for her, something the she was incredibly reluctant to do.

DP. But hadn't Kate put HER career on the back burner for him prior? I think Hal knew Grace Penn would pick him for VP. He just kept pushing for Kate to be VP knowing all the while that he was the perfect candidate. Was anyone actually surprised when she picked him? OF COURSE he wanted to be VP. Him plugging Kate for the role was all a big act, so he could look like the humble, supportive husband. He's a complete narcissist.

The only way for him to know that Penn would pick him for VP "all the while" is if he knew the president was going to die. That theory makes no sense. Unless by "all the while" you mean in the couple weeks after the president's death?

Clearly the writers were reading online comments about Keri’s hair in the first two seasons. My friend and I laughed at that scene.

Does it get any better? Should I go back and try again? I am looking for something good to watch and wanted to like this but didn’t….

This is my problem with the finale. Kate is really the only person who knows that a cluster this is? When people on the American sub knows what happened? It’s just ridiculous.

why did Kate go back to Hal at the end of the episode? the last I saw she had made a plea to her boyfriend asking for another chance, and it seemed like he was giving her one? even if he didn’t, she begged Hal for forgiveness and asked to be taken back, which seemed totally out of the blue.

The reality is Kate is the a-hole.

I don't care what his character is like, I can watch Rufus forever.

I enjoy the show but--VP's wife/ambassador to the UK planning to negotiate with the Saudis re: oil leases in the North Sea? Not even that, seems like throughout the show she drives in 5 lanes.

Will the ship attack thing ever rear its head again? It's Iran/no it's Russia/no it's Lemkov/no it's the PM/no its Meg Riolan/no it's the VP was certainly nuts.

She also seems to make a lot of geopolitical decisions on her own without consulting any powers that be, besides her chief of staff 😂.
