Did anyone else watch the mid season finale? I did like it, but found a couple of things predictable. However, I am so curious about the last scene. Like did Annalise have it all planned? And who killed the sorority girl if it wasn't Sam?

Now I’m thinking Annalise killed Lila (or had her killed), framed Sam (her revenge), and was happy when Sam was killed (as it potentially closes Lila murder case with Sam lead suspect). She colludes with Wes (lies on coin toss) to have kids hide body and set up alibis. She creates her own alibi with multiple calls/messages to Sam and hookup with Nate.
But with so many witnesses/accessories to the crime, feeble alibis (Connor a drug addict? Asher saw Connor’s car at Annalise’s house), missing items (Michaela’s ring), evidence (how could they clean up the blood when no one turned on a light? bloody bags in dumpster? and what of Bonnie’s behavior/hookup with bar patron/Asher and mention of dna?) someone will slip up.
And what of Oliver playing Lun Tha in The King and I?

Grey's and Scandal first seasons were crazy, but really good. This show is just crazy. It's all over the place with its f*cked up plots, the narrative leaves something to be desired, and there are so many charactors I don't care about them or their stories. I just can't get past the ridiculous and unbelievable story that they are first year law students, yet they get to do all of this. She also tells them to blow off other classes, and they are never seen studying. It's dumb and unrealistic. Also, it's always night time or they are in her law class. Like most people I know, I'm watching for Viola's performance. I assumed she knew something about it, but was surprised at who finally killed her husband off.
The King and I will probably be in rehearsals starting in February, and since he is just a very minor character, I'm sure he will be all done by then.
I called Wes as Sam's killer weeks ago- I thought that was rather obviously telegraphed.
However, the final scene, where Wes shows up and finds Analise sitting at her desk was a great, unpredictable twist. I confess to having screamed at my TV earlier in the episode when it appeared that Annalise was going to take Same back. Now we see just how cold and calculating she is. Presumably, she's going to coach Wes on how to get rid of the body- it was nice to see why Wes lied about the coin toss.
On a side note, I hate Michaela. What a useless character.
On another side note, it was nice to see Laurel be useful this week.
The episode WAS exciting but the more I think about it the more it doesn't make a lick of sense. WHY are all of these kids agreeing to help cover up this murder? WHY? They don't even like each other. I don't buy that they all are implicit in the murder.
I liked the Analise is manipulating Wes twist, but... I think Blonde weird lawyer lady murdered Lila, for what it's worth. At least we didn't have any case of the week which more and more the show doesn't care remotely about anyway and it's always solved in some convenient way.

The fact that he seems so blase about plotting out the show ("I don't think that far ahead!") answers many of my questions about why the show often doesn't make much sense.
Thats the way a LOT of writers work. They see where the characters "take them".
And then s/he has to make it work by the end.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Yeah and to be fair, you have to work *somewhat* that way when doing a network show (as opposed to cable, or the UK method.) You rarely even know how many episodes you'll get. With Lost I was disillusioned because I swear the writers claimed they knew the ending point even if they might have to fill in more episodes with a larger order--and yet now have said they had no idea until writing the final episodes. Some sense of structure or even an end goal is good--the interview with the Murder showrunner is not very good--he comes off as uber vague and even kinda confused--but it does sound like he knows the end points to the mysteries. (I still say blonde lawyer killed Lila...)
