Shonda lost 5+ Million fans with the Scandal debacle. Hard to imagine she'll ever get the same support with new shows going forward that has made her famous. Writing inadequacies too exposed and fan loyalty vanquished.

According to TVUpfronts, Shonda WAS a powerful woman in the industry, her fans have left by the millions and new shows don't catch on. Her future doesn't look very promising. So Kerry should now take a stand against the way she's being written and ppl would back her up.

I understand your POV. I hope you understand how invested many of us were with Olitz and OPA. Our hearts were involved. Then Shonda crushed us, lied to us (At Last) demeaned KW, emasculated Fitz, then tired to force-feed as replacements, SF and BY. It was a betrayal. And we have to get this out of our system; one way…

Right on. A green-eyed monster appeared, lost perspective and totally ruined her own show.

You mean a new pet project staring Scott Foley that NO ONE will watch?

Just had to repeat this: "Shonda self-sabotaged a once great show into irrelevance and compromised
your own Shondaland brand, you have turned Scandal into a vile display
of human depravity, sadism, and the most un-erotic sex scenes ever
conceived."

Basically, millions of fans tune in ONLY to see Tony. Without him this show would have been canceled long ago. Even though Shonda doesn't like him, she sends him out from time to time throwing breadcrumbs because she knows fans can't wait to see him. But this time she's gone too far and fans are just "over it." Most…

Fans begged Shonda to drop B613, Jake & Rowan. How did she not understand fans wanted Olitz and OPA? But, power went to her head and she thought she could force feed Olake. Nope. Never will happen. Bad gamble, now Shondaland appears to be crumbling. Next time, listen to the fans.

But, it doesn't and won't work. SF can't pull it off. Shonda's promotion of him FAILED. She needs to get down off her high horse and fix it if Scandal is to survive.

If Shonda kills Fitz, there is no way she would be able to weather that storm. Her career will be over! Millions only watch for him. Where did she get the idea she could replace the charismatic Tony G, with the wooden Scott F? She needs therapy for sure.

Now her "Titan" "genius" arrogance is biting her in the butt with poor and poorer ratings. Karma.

Good points. But the reality is that Fitz is deeply loved by most fans. He is the only reason millions still watch.

Sam, oh, if only. S1 enraptured millions. We loved Scandal. And we fell in love with Olitz. That's the only reason most are hanging on. Shonda throws out crumbs every now and then; but it isn't enough. Ppl are weary. You mention a reset. But remember Shonda already promised that with "At Last." And she lied. Who can…

Amen! Millions of Shonda's most ardent fans loath her now. I think her Shondaland Empire is in serious trouble going forward. Many will never support her or her future projects again.

Well if Shonda starts writing better then there will be no disdain.

After Judy Smith's exit Shonda's took the opportunity to change focus of Scandal from a political thriller to a 3rd rate spy show and it has BOMBED. Her gamble backfired resulting in the presence of Jake and Rowan. Epic FAIL. Millions of fans have already left and with her tenacious drive to make Jake relevant and…

You say "The emphasis placed on it was to stress how bad of an environment Jake
grew up in …" True. BUT NO ONE CARES ABOUT JAKE. He is the least interesting character on the show who hogs up screen time that no one wants to see. Screen time that should be given to the two lead actors. Jake presence brings nothing to…

If only Jake had charisma and could act, I'd be right with you … but … Not.

A big problem is that most don't care about neither Rowan nor Jake. Story line or no story line. B613 and cast need to GO ASAP.

It's because his effectiveness as a necessary character has hit its limit. Tired of hearing and seeing him—and for what purpose? B613 never was good writing and never came close to the writing of the political thriller of S1,2. When Shonda changed direction, the show started sliding into crap. Now it's at a point of…
