Jake also wiped his mouth after kissing Liv when he as on his way out the door. He always does it, this is not the first time. Not sure if its just a habit that Scott Foley has as an actor, or if the gesture was intentionally written in the script for some sort of significance.

To say "boring" is an understatement for this episode. Its official, Olivia is now unlikeable to me. She has moved from the constant lip twitching to making these "constipated faces" that are quite ineffective IMO & exposes KW's lack of versatility as an actor when compared to Viola Davis et al. Olivia seems to have…

I'm really enjoying Scandal this season. It was fantastic last night once again.

lol

I thought so too & it indicates how much Jake knows Liv. Somehow I don't think we've seen the last of Jake as it relates to him loving Olivia.

Yep. I totally missed that one.

Oh, ok. That makes sense to me now. Thnx

Very good point ! Exactly as Jake put it to her !

Yes, it is. lol

Yes the Fitz/Cyrus scene was my favourite scene of the episode. It was written well & acted well.

The only thing I found weird, puzzling, or disconcerting on this fantastic episode of Scandal was Liv telling Abby that she needs a loan. I wasn't sure how to read into this, but I didn't like it. It took Olivia down a notch for me by making her appear as if she is not savvy with money. Could it be because of the…

I agree. I don't watch GA but Scandal & Murder really killed it. Loved, loved, loved Scandal.

Last night's episode was the good, the bad and the ridiculous. First of all, Fitz shows his impulsive behaviour yet again, by publicly driving to his mistress' house in the height of a scandal. This arc was just as ridiculous as the auction block one. Due to the unrealistic nature of the final scene, I did not even…

Good assessment of Mellie and I couldn't agree more. I sent a tweet to Scandal Writers & Shonda, saying something very similar to what you have said. I don't know if the "canonizing" of Mellie was deliberate or it was just unintended consequences of plot development that wasn't thoroughly thought through. I want Oliva…

Glamorizing sexual assault…. I didn't look at it that way before, but you do have a point. I did find those moments titillating and fun to watch even though they were clearly " no means yes" moments.

Wow. I'm very impressed with your analysis. You are spot on with your thoughts.

After me rooting for Liv & Fitz all this while, when they finally came together last night, it fell flat for me. But when Liv called Jake to tell him that she thinks she made a mistake, I felt more excitement. I now cant believe that a Liv & Jake union offers more excitement to me now. Anyone else is suddenly feeling…

Some fans of Scandal really seem to take the show too seriously, judging by the comments here. You really need a life if you are so put off by plot development that you write whiny comments about not watching anymore. Well, stop watching then for god sakes.
I still watch Scandal & though some episodes are less…
