Plenty of times? Apart from asking him to try to find Amanda Tanner's body, which led to him torturing Charlie, who himself is a murderer and a torturer, I'm drawing a blank, remind me of these other times again?

I assumed that Rowan wanted to know if Olivia was actually his child. He probably ordered a separate test that wasn't shown on screen.

The problem with them killing off Will is that yeah they get good press for two weeks, but that's not going to last, and when the show returns after all the mourning for Will is done, the ratings will drop even further, and when it comes back in the fall, the 1.6 demos that they're currently getting now will sink to…

The Black List has its own level of wtfuckery and crazy plots.

Olivia's cry face is no more terrible than Mellie's teeth-baring and growling. And when she gets really mad. her voice deepens in a way that Barry White would be envious of.

Ha, you just don't like what I have to say, and that unlike so many of you people on here that I don't think that the Mellie is all that and a packet of crisps. I've been ignoring your comments, but I think I'll stop doing that now.

Has anybody else noticed that the photo that Phil has up is actually from next week's finale? Liv is in the Situation Room at the White House with Fitz, Jake and the crisis team, or whatever they're called. Couldn't even get the right picture. Dearie me.

Uh-huh…

Oh so you saw Shonda Rhimes retweet Gabby Sidibe's comment did you?

If Ryan said that the show doesn't exist without Mellie/Bellamy Young then he's on crack. The show is weighed down because the writers refuse to move her and Fitz's relationship on one way or another. They're forever in a cycle of pain and hurt and pain and it's gotten profoundly boring. Either have them patch up…

She's definitely great at growling, monologuing and looking angry. She seems to struggle with scenes that don't call for any of the above though. And she hasn't quite mastered the art of making a sex scene look sexy yet. I'm not saying she isn't a good actress, but she plays extreme very well. She's not that great…

Seeing all the anti-Fitz sentiment on an episode where he wasn't the main focus has reminded me to pinch and post this brilliant list of things people with Fitz Derangement Syndrome do or think.

Sonia should have gotten Ryan McGee to review this episode. At least he actually watches the show properly. This guy totally phoned it in.

Probably not. Plus he called Shonda, "Shondra".

"it looked as if the dude was stalking himself. Shondra Rhimes’ version of Washington, D. C. is a strange enough place without bringing in doppelgängers.) "

He didn't mention Bellamy Young's performance because he's not Sonia, and it's her who loves Mellie.

I totally agree with you, my beef is with the writers entirely. They have no idea how to build up a character without demolishing another. They've done Olivia wrong this season and I certainly wont be purchasing the DVD like I'd planned to. I'd like to forget the season ever happened to be honest.

What does Olivia's character being too muddled has to do with the ability for people to sympathize with her? Back in episode 218 when Jake pushed her into a glass table and she cut her head open and ended up in hospital with concussion, not one reviewer lamented about the fact that Jake had pushed a 90lbs, 5ft woman…

Yes, a lot of white people would love it….

In that case, why don't you just stop watching the show? Because like it or not, Olivia is the main character. I'd just stop watching altogether if I was you.
