You think there is something better for her than being the lead in a primetime network show? Times haven't changed that much. Despite the show's problems, this is a good deal for most of them.

I got a little confused, I was thinking of Dollhouse at first. Didn't she go away and come back as an almost unrecognizable character. Come to think of it, in Alias, she started out seemingly sweet and turned into a gun toting know-it-all. Somebody has got a niche.

Where do you get the idea that Scandal was telling any stories "about the minority experience" in coded terms or any other? Olivia Pope is the least developed lead character on any show on television. We really don't know squat about her thought process, what motivates her or why she has done anything. Harrison has…

Her responses on twitter showed she didn't understand her joke either. I bet Henny Youngman could see the ramifications of his joke. He knew take my wife was an expression to say use her as an example, and to take her physically. This person was dumfounded when others pointed out to her that forced breeding means…

SNL doesn't exist in a vacuum. You must have noticed how it influences presidential elections, for example.

Nope, actually, I was very surprised anyone would point to that part of the joke as being funny. You do know that is exactly what Jimmy the Greek said. The only thing this woman did was add names of actual athletes to her genetics argument. I thought for sure someone would try to explain how they found something funny…

Oh, Jimmy the Greek type humor. Okay.

It would be super helpful if those people who didn't find this bit offensive, or dare say,
even found it funny, to explain the humor they got out of it. It is one thing to dismiss people who objected to it, that's easy. It'd be great to see how you were tickled by the thought of forced breeding equating to a love…

No, no computer wiping because then they'd lose their high scores in Freecell.

i cannot understand the "Mellie finally getting some" concept. Mellie checked out of her marriage a decade ago. The reason why she wasn't "getting some" was because she rejected her husband. Fitz' relationship with Olivia had nothing to do with Mellie's sex life. The marriage was dead long before Olivia arrived. The…

Nah, Jake probably didn't get round to paying the utility bills.

She's only had this successful and promising career for a couple of episodes. For almost 3 seasons, she never used her law degree. It is only when they wanted to up the ante for her great sacrifices that they made her a law partner. Before, a big part of her personality was that she was very smart, but unproven…

Yeah, but in this case, it is more like cancer.

Shaw is a defective clone of Reese. I don't think she improves the show at all. I preferred the show when she was not on it. But since I don't think I'm the target audience, I imagine she'll be given a larger role.

It's to showcase the new additions to the cast. For some people, I
imagine that is enough. I thought Fusco used to be an intriguing
character with his own story to tell. Now he seems to be used only as a prop to deliver one-liners with Shaw or Root. It was nice to see him with Finch, but his role could have been…

I made the mistake of looking away from the tv while Reese and Shaw were speaking and realized I couldn't tell who was who. It's a problem.

I can still see David Palmer's hand sticking out from under that sheet on the floor. I try to avert my eyes, just as Jack Bauer tried, but all that potential for greatness forces me to look. I wonder whether he and Sherry reunited in the afterlife.

I do believe I read that Viola Davis' character is going to be married and having an extramarital affair. Tom Verica will play her husband and Billy Brown will be her lover. So, it is not at all like Scandal because she's the one who is married, her husband is white and her boyfriend is black. So Shonda does have…

Week after week I continue to be dumbfounded by people who proclaim Mellie to be their favorite character. My mind always wanders to a world full of schizophrenics who have found their champion. Mellie's character has been all over the place since the very beginning. You cannot paint a portrait of this woman that…

Thank you for that Kendall. It is so refreshing to read a post that has something to do with the Mellie we have seen rather than the Mellie that people choose to imagine.
