It's kind of a mystery why he never got regular character actor work over the years. When he first broke big in stand up, he was BELOVED by people in my crowd.

It's kind of delightful watching Chip and Martha's relationship echo the dipshit/sad sack pairing of Alan Partridge and his assistant Lynn. I soooooo don't think Martha's the character that needs massaging into the show at all. After watching her try to sell a Costco membership (sponsor ca-ching! here) to the guy…

This show is increasingly written in fantasy wish-fulfillment mode each week. They probably see themselves as champions of womanhood, but every episode comes off more and more like "I have a pet issue I'm going to ramrod through the show in the most unbelievable way by making everybody on the other side of the fight…

And if you did sit down to drink cooch with them, they'd get their own jar (cf. Justified, season 2).

Yeah, these aren't just lovers quarrels on Scandal, they're scorched earth wars that no actual couple would survive because one or the other would stay permanently wounded inside and either shut down on the other person or be a total asshole/bitch to them for the rest of their life together.

Olivia has been a real captive in a real cell with real captors. She was never a captive of Fitz, which was made exceptionally obvious by how easily she gathered her things and left the building when she had enough of trying to manage being the oval office puppeteer and the former first lady's stand-in at the same…

Fitz only has the coercive powers given to him by cheap set-ups to him getting told off by somebody.

If she's the sun, she's a dying sun that's losing the capability to even warm herself.

This thing with Jake's "wife" is (and always has been) a non-starter. On the level of impact to the audience, the character was barely introduced and hardly used before she was killed off. I've seen hollandaise sauces with longer lifespans. And are we all just neverminding that the marriage was faked for a B613…

I would have enjoyed a light pat on Olivia's head along with "I think somebody needs a nap!"

Liz North literally has nowhere to go unless the VP somehow becomes president temporarily and Liz becomes the right hand woman. She can't be Cyrus again; She'll never work for OPA; she burned bridges, river banks and the whole damn waterway with Mellie; B613 wouldn't need or want her. The situation is so bad that they…

In the script for a Huck monologue, you would see one the following inserted after every third word:
(twitching)
(scrunching up his forehead like his brain stem can't poop)
(audible nasal breathing)
(bugging out his eyes)

The problem for me now is that whenever I watch earlier episodes of Scandal and that theme starts playing, it's also going to be the theme that was misused for a Star Wars commercial. It didn't even make logical sense to use that piece of music in a Star Wars commercial in the first place since it's supposed to be a…

The one note character club at present: Quinn (menstrual), Huck (lobotomized), Jake (MRA material), Elizabeth North (useless), Mellie (mental), Tom (melodrama queen), Cyrus (buh-buh-but SIR….), Eli (speechy), Sally Langston (oozy).

Star Wars merchandising and cross-promotion will find its way into every minute aspect of our lives until it inspires it's own anti-Star Wars rebellion.

Between Tom and Eli? ABSOLUTELY.

Was I the only person vomiting in my mouth a little when they used Olivia and Fitz' theme from season one (and two?) for that stupid Star Wars commercial (a movie by the way that is so overexposed and over-commercialized at this point that I'd be fine never seeing now)? They don't even use that music on the show…

All that being said, it's still no explanation for David Rosen tracking it back to her.

They ruined Tom ever since his "Helen of Troy" speech. Like the show needed yet another character to act like this around Olivia. God that crap is tired.

He moaned REPEATEDLY and laughably to let the audience know he wasn't dead.
