At this point I feel like I'm in an echo chamber with how many times I've slated this show, but it grates on my last nerve that reviewers who are so quick to excuse everything Mellie does, can never find an iota of sympathy for what Olivia's been through, regardless of how garbage the show is.

The bar has been set so low that any episode that doesn't feature Jake and Liv having hateful incestuous sex automatically makes it one of the best episodes of this back season.

Amen.

That role suits him perfectly, because God knows, his acting is so bad that he has the same facial reaction to everything. Let the man keep his mouth shut and just side-eye Rowan, the writers would be doing the depleted fandom a solid.

Abby deserved Olivia's wrath, she was feeling herself way too much.

Both of Olivia's kills were justified as they were both related to her kidnapping, but I agree, I'd rather have an Olivia who hadn't crossed that line yet. Now that she has, I think that they will be looking at the next character who they can get to kill. It has to be Mellie or Abby surely?

I totally agree. Liv's actions last week where she tried to blackmail a man trying to protect his family ended up with him committing suicide, was way worse than anything she did this week. Andrew deserved to die a thousand deaths for what he did to Liv, and what he pretty much forced Fitz to do with regards to…

Wow, has Olivia been in love with Mellie all this time?

Well Scott Foley directed the episode, and your point is???

Gwen, what the hell?

Jake had one line this episode, Olitz interacted, Rowan only had one mind-numbing monologue, and the ratings went up. This is not a coincidence.

he's still not the worst choice by far.

Did you notice how Shonda's tweeting tone changed because she was trying to get fans to watch The Catch? I wondered who this woman was. She came off as desperate. I laughed out loud when The Catch ratings were 1.2 dem and 5.8m viewers. Next week it will be way lower. Shonda doesn't realise that you can't piss off a…

Most Trump supporters are crazy, we know that already.

" don't like Jake, but this show should have ended with him and Olivia on the beach, living in the sun and drinking pina coladas all day."

"The only person I love on scandal is Fitz yet he gets the shittiest script. Olivia is so damn ridiculous stalking a man who constantly abuse you and then have the audacity to apologize?"

Yes Josh calls the Olitzers crazy. In fact he deliberately searches for mentions of his named and retweets fans talking shit about him (but not @ting him) and lets his fans savage them. He's an asshole, as is Scott Foley, who's not mature enough to ignore fans who hate Jake. His cards were marked when he let some…

I hate Mellivia and the very idea of Olivia trying to make this useless woman into the president residing over 360m people makes me want to throw up in my mouth. I'm so fed up of Shonda's faux sisterhood bs.

I can't believe that Shonda made Joe Morton a regular. This bitch is crazy. People have been saying for 84 years that they need for Rowan to be killed off and this egomaniac decides to make him a regular? Ugh, Shonda really thinks that her shit doesn't stink.

He's in there twice, and it's within context. There's another Scott who's Shonda's press guy. I don't dispute that Shonda gets all moist over Scott Foley, but he's not mentioned any more than Ellen Pompeo or Kerry Washington.
