Hey, I've found the footage: https://www.youtube.com/wat…. Start around the 8.30 mark.

Wow, that is so very telling. Even diehard Scandal fans who never have a bad word to say about the show were mad as hell. It's not a coincidence that the episodes that include too many Mellie Monologues, and B613, Jake and Rowan subplots are the ones that critics and fans pan the most, even while the critics applaud…

Yes, I would totally be on board with that. Give Bellamy Young her own spin-off show, and let's see how long before cancellation beckons…

Unfortunately, she has a cast that tickle her ego on the regular. When these people are talking about how great the writing is on Scandal, I stop and wonder if they're actually brainwashed.

Shonda and her writers think that all of their viewers are made up of the mostly illiterate crowd who gather on Facebook to talk about the show. Half of those people can barely string a sentence together, so I guess her and the writers just assume that we are all the same. Why do research, when there are viewers such…

He did? Man that was a mess of an episode. That was also the episode that Jake grabbed Olivia by the neck, threw her against the door and choked the living shit out of her for bringing down B613, even though he had asked her to save him from the agency just mere episodes earlier. And the writers never addressed it.…

Are we talking about the same Mellie who couldn't understand how Fitz could play with Baby Teddy for as long as he did back in season two? The Mellie who refused to be with Teddy when he was born and told Cyrus that "Nobody likes babies"? The Mellie who risked Teddy's life by inducing him 4 weeks early when Fitz asked…

Yet nobody ever wants to mention Mellie's own massive sense of entitlement. Fitz basically handed her the senate win, and paved the presidential way for her by selecting a "weak" potential rival in Susan Ross. Everything that Mellie has achieved, was pretty much handed to her, now she wants to blame him for her rape,…

Sooo, Mellie was forced to marry Fitz? He was the one who raped her? He forced her to bargain with Big Jerry after he raped her? He forced her to lie about why she didn't want to have sex with him for 10 years while he stayed faithful? He forced her to quit her job? He forced her to stay in the marriage after she…

So I guess you'll be back next week? Cool, see you then.

God I loathe Mellie stans. Do me a favour and don't respond to me again. Thanks.

It was during a TV and film panel, if I could recall exactly which one, I'd link. It was only a few weeks ago, so it should be around. Maybe somebody else has the link. Basically he went back to Shonda and asked her why Fitz would say the stuff he was saying, and that he was having trouble with it.

Only Mellie fans would have been happy with the shitfest that was Scandal last night. It's not a coincidence that the episodes that are sans B613 and Jake, and Mellie's dumb rants are the ones that critics love. Any episode that has Olivia behaving like an indecisive nitwit is one that invariably leaves fans…

But Mellie did exactly that. Every step of the way, Fitz had to tell her what to do, and he even gave her permission to throw him under the bus to prove that she was her own woman when she was sulking about what the press were saying about her. Hell, she didn't even have the diplomatic skills to deal with her own…

Lol, you know she only included the Olivia stuff because she was shamed into it last week.

One thing I noticed is that Scandal writers seem to have failed to realise that the only person who should have been coming to Fitz to talk about his possible impeachment is the Speaker for the House, who has the power to sway votes in his favour or vice versa. I'm British and even I know that only the House of Reps…

That decision to go to war was actually Mellie's idea though, for those who weren't watching closely. Sure Fitz made the decision ultimately, but if he decided to spill his guts because he had nothing to lose, that would tank her presidential hopes faster than anything. Fitz was having a crisis moment, and he told…

The point is Fitz does the right things plenty of times, starting with passing The Dream Act and ending with making sure that Olivia didn't solely bear the brunt of a relationship with him. That was a noble thing he did, and he's done plenty of noble things in the past, things that have been to the detriment of his…

Fitz was the victim of a huge fraud that was perpetuated in his name THAT HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT, and that fraud led to that old witch trying to assassinate him to ease her conscience. Up until episode 2x13, he had no idea that he was a fraudulent president, and if you recall, he wasn't going to run again, until a…

In more positive news, this was the best episode that Scandal has served up since season two. I note that the writer is one of the original Scandal writers, and he gave us the amazing episode 2x11, A Criminal, A Whore, An Idiot, and A Liar. No doubt next week we'll go back to dross, because not all the writers in…
