That motive was so laughable.

I was waiting for the reveal of Kate being pregnant to Mandy's husband. After all, Mandy specifically told Cornell that story about Kate "getting what she wanted" in terms of a man one time. That at least would have made for a more solid motive especially since Mandy couldn't get pregnant at that time, or so we thought.

not really

it's never Joan Van Ark- Marge Simpsons

I thought it was lazy too. Just felt rushed and slapped together, as if they were considering multiple people for the role of the killer and filmed different death scenes and decided to go with Amanda and so had to make it fit somehow.

Just plain terrible is exactly right. Jealous because she got pregnant? The biggest problem is that they didn't foreshadow this type of behavior from Amanda. Had they shown her psycho side prior to the big reveal it would've worked better.

My only real complaint this season. Other than that, I really enjoyed season 2. Well, I could've done without the Danny/Rachel subplot.

Remember when message boards used to be fun?

I think that only someone who clearly never dealt with fertility issues would think like this.

It can be really consuming and it consumed Amanda's life. Granted most people would have reacted with hurt, but it was the comment that "she wasn't even trying" that drove Amanda over the edge. I don't think she meant to kill Kate, she just went on a rampage from a place of hurt and anger.

And I have taken some fertility drugs when I donated eggs and they honestly did drive me completely batty. I can see the validity of this motive and find it quite strong.

Indeed, it is silly how all those big dramatic turns (having a second family, leading a whore house, having a devastatingly failed investment) all lead to nothing, but some pushing around really was the issue. Especially in a setting without witnesses, she could have come up with all kinds of reasons how it happened, instead of an elaborate cover up, which she would know could easily lead to uncovering all her scheming and failings in the background. I don't buy the level of misjudgement on her part. Neither do I understand how the tough detective misses something as obvious as finding out people's locations at the time of the murder, which would have solved the case after the first episode.

I don't agree with that assessment, it could have been anyone, the process of elimination and misinformation is what makes the show. The title says it all.

In the last episode Amanda says "do you really think you can make me confess?" Eric perks up at her choice of the word confess.

The hormonal condition of the character obsessed with the desire to be a mother is as good as any motive or reason. She was erratic in a few spots, they did have her striding around being on a power trip as the big time attorney, and knowing what we now know what was controlling was actually self preservation.




Beginnings are always messy.
