I remember. As I said on another site, I keep praying that they can coax Henry Ian Cusick back for an episode or two. Stephen was the only person at OPA that was on the same footing as Olivia. She definitely needs push back (the right kind) from her team, and in season 1 he seemed like the only person who could give…

Honestly, I think they keep Fitz in the White House to keep up the push/pull thing between him and Olivia. (She could be just as much help and as deep in the know with the next administration). If Fitz stops being President then his b.s. reasoning (and Olivia's too) for them not being together won't hold up. What I…

Thank you (and I'm being honest not snarky) for helping me realize what my problem with the sex-dialogue on this show is about. Someone up the thread said I was being prudish (guilty, I guess) for taking issue with it but it really is about word choice. Your "viscid, thrusting tongues" description (while totally and…

I'll take that. It's inaccurate, but based on what I wrote I suppose it sounds that way. I did say, however, that I don't have that problem with HBO/cable…but you know, whatevs.

I second, third and fourth that! My Scandal-buddy and I are always talking about that little "pick me, choose me"-lite speech she gave Edison, where she said she wanted crazy, self-destructive, wildly-delusional love rather than the stable, thoughtful, caring love that he was offering. Generally that conversation ends…

He's totally right. Thanks for sharing!

I re-watched after reading your comment and OMFG were you right! I'm now convinced Wes went into the bathroom to clean the crap out of his shorts. That was a death glare if I've ever seen one. #ViolaFTW

Real Question: are you assuming she's an adjunct because she's a practicing attorney or would she have to be an adjunct because she's also a practicing attorney? Meaning could she not be a full or associate prof. and still practice?

I agree. If they'd just made them third years burying Annalise's body, then flashed back to them first day, first year, that would have been AMAAAZING! That would have given the writers enough leeway to create seasons worth of material all the while hinting at the confluence of events that led to the death of the main…

Enough Said is the whole reason I added that "most, though not all" caveat.

Last year, there were also some folks wondering how Maya managed to get her hair "laid" and find a fly-ass Olivia-esque white trench before she got back into US airspace (especially considering she went rampage and killed the entire flight crew somewhere over Mongolia).

Thank you! I think you verbalized what I was thinking (or really trying to make sense of).

Oh yeah, I definitely know he was goading Rowan (and though I definitely wondered what kind of man would say something like that about the woman he supposedly loved to anyone let alone the woman's father) I understood the motivation behind it. I guess, my real issue was more why would the writers write something as…

I was staring at it in each scene he was in wondering if there was a new wig master (or whatever it's called) on the show. Distracting,

It's funny. I don't have those issues on cable AT. ALL. It's definitely something about watching broadcast television. My ears revert to a more puritanical setting. Something about the Big Three (plus two) makes my ears virginal.

As Cyrus said (which can that technically be called "lampshading"?) we've all seen how this plays out: Fitz is going to either demand by verbal request or by Tom showing up at her door that Olivia come to the White House OR Olivia is going to stomp into the Oval on a tear about something and then Fitz is going to…

I'm no prude and I curse like a sailor but some of Scandal's little monologues- particularly surrounding Olivia's sex life- make me cringe. Jake's comment about being the "one [she] likes to ride" made me a little ill. Similarly, Fitz's comments to Rowan last season about how Olivia tastes, (I still get nauseous just…

I totally thought she was playing him. I even laughed a little as the tears spilled. It was only once he'd left and she was staring at her own reflection that I considered that she might, MIGHT have been being honest. I have to say I enjoyed the ambiguity. If she'd shut down the tears as soon as Wes walked out, I…

…Rich dad who'll only kick in $8,000 to spring his kid in a felony drug case.

I thought it was going to be Matt McGorry since he wasn't moving the body with the rest of the interns. (And he has the OITNB gig). But I gotta say despite the fact that Viola Davis was the most interesting thing about the premiere and is the star of the show, it would have had my everlasting allegiance if the body…
