When last we left the lovebirds, Oliver secretly deleted Connor’s acceptance letter from Stanford. In the Season 3 premiere, “We’re going to find out if Connor ever found out about that and how he feels about it,” reveals showrunner Peter Nowalk. “That is the big hanging chad in their relationship. Otherwise, things are pretty happy. But the show doesn’t really thrive on happiness.”

Any scoop on my favorite How to Get Away With Murder couple, Connor and Oliver?

#oliver’s gonna fake a rejection letter. i’d lay money on it. (not to be //that// person but any other way of playing that scene would take#too much work for the writers. and they’d have to actually show connor and oliver talking or really fighting or something. they aren’t gonna#do that. it makes that plot point bigger than they want it to be.) oliver’s gonna fake the letter. connor’s gonna. understandably. spiral#out from it. (i mean. not only did he get rejected but he also lost the safety net he’d thrown out there for himself and the man he loves.)#connor’s gonna be all ‘losing it’ (for lack of a better phrase). and he and olls are gonna have the heart-to-heart. ‘oliver. why. why didn’t#they let me in. why can’t we leave-’ connor’s gonna be on the verge of tears. oliver’s gonna pull him in close. pat connor’s hair. kiss his#temple. ‘it’s gonna be okay connor. it’s gonna be okay.’ camera zooms in on oliver looking all pained and ‘oh fuck what did i do’ then cut#to commercial break. end of stanford storyline. then in the next ep they don’t even reference it. classic htgawm#coliver#htgawm spoilers#htgawm season 3#(this is a very bitter post. i might not post it….nah. i’m gonna) (via @ramblesandreblogs

  • Sam is there, drunk, and tries to attack Rebecca
  • Michaela pushes him away from Rebecca, causing him to fall from the first floor to the second floor
  • They think Sam is dead but he wakes up and tries to kill Rebecca again, Wes bludgeons him with the trophy (body count: 2)

  • Annalise is aware of this the entire time and is complicit in her husband’s murder
  • Annalise goes to Nate’s house and sleeps with him to solidify an alibi
  • Rebecca is acquitted after Annalise shifts the blame to Sam, knowing that he’s dead, claiming that Sam ran off
  • Sam’s remains are found
  • Annalise has Frank break into Nate’s house, steal a fingerprint, plant it on Sam’s ring, and puts the ring in the forest

  • Annalise picks up the Hapstall case, introducing Caleb and Catherine Hapstall
  • Eve gets Nate acquitted
  • Annalise gives the DA information on Asher’s father, beginning a corruption investigation
  • Annalise lies to Wes and tells him Rebecca is alive, but hiding
  • Developments in the Hapstall case lead Annalise to dropping Catherine, evidence points to Catherine and Phillip being the murderers (as DNA from Phillip was at the crime scene)
  • Nate files a racial harassment lawsuit against Sinclair, the prosecutor for the Hapstall case
  • Asher’s father commits suicide; Asher blames Sinclair, who has been blackmailing him
  • Asher runs over Sinclair with his car (body count: 4)
  • Asher calls Bonnie for help. They take Sinclair’s body and hide it in his trunk, then contact Annalise
  • Annalise knows she needs to cover up Sinclair’s murder otherwise Nate will take the heat for it
  • She brings Sinclair’s body to the Hapstall mansion and sets it up so it looks like Catherine killed Sinclair
  • Annalise tells Asher about how the other four killed Sam in order to force the other four to help Asher cover up Sinclair’s death
  • Annalise tries to get any of the Keating 5 to shoot her
  • She finally tells Wes it was all a lie, that Rebecca is dead
  • Wes shoots Annalise in the stomach instead of the leg (body count: nearly 5)

Sam cheating on Annalise with Lila (and on top of that, emotionally manipulating everyone he came into contact with) set off a chain reaction that, IMO, ended up with four people dead, and Annalise almost being person number five. Not to mention someone’s probably gonna get murdered in the season finale. So the blame can really either be on Sam or Frank’s head. What do you think?

Anyone who knows me knows that I love How To Get Away With Murder and how I always talk about how it hits the mark with things, but there is one topic that hits close to home that I really think it has missed the mark on and that is rape.

Not only has there been just as many fake rape claims as legitimately rape scenarios on the show, which is disproportionate to real life statistics, but in all the legitimate cases, we only hear these memories in relation to someone else. 

When the story of Tiffany came about, we hear how Asher is being blackmailed and his life is falling apart. Sure, Bonnie brings up that Tiffany has to live with it as well, but we never get to actually hear what Tiffany thinks and how she’s coping. Likewise, when that woman whose husband was keeping those girls hostage came to Annalise about them, we hear it from her side, not theirs.

The only time we even get a glimpse of the victim’s feelings is when Annalise has that argument with her mother, and even then her mother tries to silence her by reminding her that she’s not the only one it has happened to and that Annalise is dealing with it the wrong way by going to a psychiatrist. However, from what I’ve heard from POC friends of mine, this is actually accurate to how a lot of POC see psychiatry and so on, so I can somewhat look past that.

The epitome of this is the plotline of Annalise telling Asher about Bonnie’s past. Personally to me it shows a lot that this show has had so many fake rape stories, two of which was orchestrated by Annalise herself, that it lead to large part of the fandom is questioning if a rape victim that was telling someone that her best friend was raped was being honest. Likewise, we never get to hear Bonnie’s thoughts on what happened to her, or even if she allowed Annalise to tell Asher, taking away from her choice.

So basically, while How To Get Away With Murder is a great show, I personally really think it needs to work on it’s representation of rape victims and the impacts surrounding the topic.
