With many on social media hoping that Alicia loses, one has to wonder if the firm is being set up to be the devil incarnate which could make Alicia winning the SA job easier to swallow for casual fans.

So true! Still, my favorite anti-heroes have, at least, a semblance of self-awareness about their actions and just don't give a damn or care about the consequences. I feel like the writers on TGW are trying to play it both ways - so the average viewer can still cheer Alicia on and excuse her behavior instead of…

I find it interesting that in different circumstances Alicia would probably vote for Prady, too. She struggles to find fault with him and ways to differentiate herself from him.

CBS just announced they renewed NCIS: NO; Scorpion and Madame Secretary..hope this doesn't mean TGW is on the ropes again. If either of those 2 other midseason dramas do well things could be dicey. Now might be a good time to tidy up the storytelling a touch. The crazy scheduling doesn't help either.

It appears that they are trying to placate fans in their primary demo who feel that too much has changed with the show and the characters, especially Alicia. The blowback has been pretty harsh about Cary's trial but especially Alicia's campaign. Many of those viewers are hoping that she loses so things return to…

He has his own show on TNT, Murder in the First. It was picked up for a second season shortly after this season of TGW started. He plays a cop on it and is one of the leads.

Probably! The shift feels so forced and odd to me. I understand that the whole Olivia Pope campaign thing can happen but the transition of her focus comes across as weird. Do you think there's any chance of a divorce on the horizon? There is no job in world worth the humiliation of being his wife especially with…

It's becoming too busy and plot driven. It comes across to me as if the show wants those big OMG Shonda moments that gets Twitter talking while attempting to remain a critical darling.
