So what if it was supposed to be a short run gig? Actors come and go. It doesn't stop a whole host of other shows exploring relationships even if they are short terms. If they did, there would be no day time soaps. Is that Iris chick going to be permanent now? I hope not! Wasn't Carter on the show for at least 5…

I third that

You did hear her say that she is receiving more than one text, right? This would tend to indicate that the machine is using her right now right?

At the start, Shaw pissed me off as well. Then she grew on me. Give it time.
At the start, I liked Finch: now Finch pisses me off in practically every episode.

True that.
Iris needs to go. Enough already. At any moment I expect her to be an agent of Samaritan.

Give me a bloody break with this BS! I call this BS. Carter and Reese clearly had feelings for each other and clearely had on screen chemisty. But was this explored? No! But suddenly we are to see him explore a relationship with his shrink! NO NO NO. Just NO! Gimme a damn break!

Probably she will do a Sharknado event if she can get Vivica A Fox.

Me too. Long live Lancher! :-)

In our real universe the, State of the Union Address takes place in January. In Scandal it took place in summer with roses in full bloom.
If you can figure out what goes on in Scandal, good for you. I have come to realize that for the most part Scandal is not written for the intelligent viewer.

From what we have been shown, Fitz has been rather conservative with the number of women he has slept with. We only know of 3. If Olivia wants to make the entrance to herself as free as her apartment door currently is and get back on the DC scene and screw every Tom, Dick and Harry, I say let her; or let her find a…

Yes, they did. That's when I had to pull out the urban dictionary.

You're welcome

A threesome.
Woman in the middle getting both of her holes filled at the same time, according to the Urban Dictionary, if memory serves.

Does it matter if Fitz has her apartment under surveillance? Is that supposed to give her a level of comfort and security? And that is part of the problem right there. Fitz needs to wash his hands of Olivia- completely. As long as someone knows she is loved, she will continue in her crap. Sometimes the stranger you…

I have said on another board that this was a stale episode
This plot was very similar to the one about the DC Madam:same sort of high powered men caught doing stuff.
Use of code names
Same sort of bribing them
Same sort of speech Liv made
Jake and Fitz drinking scotch talking about Liv.

I'm with you. I don't understand the supposed fascination with Jamal's singing.

Last night was a bit of a mess for me.
Too much singing. I'm just not into Jennifer Hudson's voice. She did that song "l'm Telling You" pretty well, but her voice is too thinny and reedy. It annoys me.
What was the purpose of Patti Labelle and all those rap people?

But you are forgetting that Jamal in spite of what he might say wants his dad's approval. They all do.

Please no more ward!

I hate time travel plots. The only time that it was done passably well was on Eureka.
