I love to read your reviews, because I feel like you get what Scandal is trying to do. It's not trying to be Mad Men. It's trying to be fast-paced entertainment with crazy plots elevated by some decent acting (Jeff Perry in particular).

Another great review — I was so pleased to see this show also get a For Our Consideration piece. Barrowman was an interesting casting choice — since Shonda likes to ape Sorkin-ese, it made me want to see Matthew Perry in that role (though I know he's on a different show).

Great review — it explains why it felt like two shows last night, except the mole investigation seemed more case-of-the-week. The Olitz subplot felt like the Grey's Anatomy season 2 finale Derek/Meredith prom sex, and Mellie just pinned Fitz's panties to the hospital billboard. I have no idea where they're going with…

Great review! I don't see an Emmy nomination in Guillermo Diaz's future, but he did a fine job and carried the hour effectively. Please keep reviewing this show!
