I made the point last week that I wasn't sure why people were calling out Olivia for warning Andrew off Mellie, and interfering in the Grant marriage, and this week totally backed up my point. Part of her job has always been to fix the image of their marriage, and they have let her. Not only that, this week, Fitz…

I'm sorry, but Fitz was always so-so about his career in politics, he was about to walk out on the opportunity to be governor because his dad was being a dick to him, does that sound like somebody who was fully invested in a political career? If Fitz had made Mellie give up her career, that would be one thing, but she…

I felt for Mellie tonight, I did. I needed for Andrew to stay around and service her, Her well has been dry for a long while, but I have to say, the less Mellie in an episode the better for me. I loved that she slapped Fitz because he really deserved it in that moment, but I couldn't give a flying f*ck about her pain,…

You and everybody else who watched Scandal. This B613 is the worst thing to have happened to this show, and I can't wait until Rowan gets back into his seat and leaves Olivia and OPA alone.

You may not have believed that Fitz was a good father, but the show definitely implied it. Here are some examples:

What do you mean you don't get why Fitz said Mellie was never interested in sex? Did you miss the part where Mellie expressly told him that after the baby she'd lost her sex drive? Also, in three seasons, Mellie has only tried to make sexual move towards him on two occasions. And both those times happened in the same…

Mama Said Knock You Out was masterful in its efforts to retcon everything that had come before.

If you recall, when the Grants were testing Cyrus' patience in an earlier episode this season, Mellie suggested that Fitz could barely get it up to make Teddy. (The scene where Mellie is feeding baby Teddy because she has a photo op and she doesn't want him to be asking for his nanny)

I have an issue with the entire plot because it makes a mockery of scenes like the one in episode 2x01 where Mellie says to Fitz "I'm not the one who changed, you are"

That's all you saw happening in that scene? You didn't hear the part where he was faithful and celibate for ten years, all the while blaming himself for Melie's lack of sexual drive? You don't think that finding out that all that was a lie would hurt him to the core? People are mad because we know she was raped. But…

Nope. That relationship will not go well. Andrew is way too nice to be exactly what he seems to be. This is Shondaland. If they seem too good to be true, expect them to kill somebody soon.

A man who according to that conversation was faithful and celibate for ten years before cheating on his wife who had physically checked out of the marriage. Let's see you try and live without sex and intimacy for that length of time.

I can't believe what the writers have done to Olivia Pope. Tonight, she was basically The Help, Jezebel, and Mammy.

I guess I disagree with your assessment that Mellie would take Fitz without the power. Back in episode 104, Fitz asked her in the car if it would be so bad if he resigned and they went back to California. Mellie looked like he was off his skull on drugs. She categorically said yes of course it would and she told him…

I think it's interesting that people insist on forgetting that for all his privilege, Fitz was raised by an abusive asshole. The same abusive asshole who raped his wife. If you watched episode 2x11 last season, you'd have seen Fitz revert to being a child in his father's presence.

I'm fairly comfortable saying that part of the reason why her marriage broke down was due to her not telling Fitz about Big Jerry raping her. In her mind, she sacrificed everything for him, so every time he was unkind, or showed reluctance for the future that she'd sold her soul to the devil for, she'd resent him a…

You keep mentioning Entertainment Weekly, I think I'll check it out.

If you remember, Cyrus also offered to get rid of Olivia after Mellie refused the offer of California governorship. That's when he got Lauren to ring Jake who was stationed outside Liv's apartment at the time, to try to get him away from Olivia so that Cyrus could get to her.

I wrote in caps just once because I'm fed up of people making the show about Fitz. He is the love interest, that's it.

The problem is, Mellie loves Fitz, and she's spent the last five years of her life staying in that toxic marriage rather than forging her own path. I'd have more respect for her if she was actively trying to destroy him, but instead she stays, and even goes as far as to pimp him out to Olivia just so that she can stay…
