The magic is gone. People are losing interest.

Because she's a hypocrite. At least some of the others own how bad they are. Olivia spews BS about wearing the white hat and as you said yourself, she's as bad as the rest of them.

But Shonda's made her so bashable….

I feel sorry for any man who hooks up with that shrew, except for Jake because he's just as despicable as she is. Those two deserve each other.

Hey, it takes two to tango, yanno? Why was she so stupid she forgot to take her birth control pills?

And the head-wagging with every syllable that makes my eyes glaze over.

So is Fitz ever going to find out or not? Shonda doesn't want to deal with the fallout if he does find out, so she's going to let the whole question remain dangling in midair.

Not so much what she did as how she did it, along with that vicious attack she made on Fitz when she broke up with him. All the nasty things she said to him. There was no reason to hurt him like that. She showed herself to be an evil, soulless bitch. I signed off at that point.

Dangling story lines and gaping plot holes are Shonda's stock in trade. When she doesn't want to deal with an issue, she moots it. She has no intention of explaining what was the reason behind Olivia's abortion, and seemed annoyed that anybody would ask her for one.

Her moral compass is gone. I'm starting to wonder if she ever had a soul.

Big time. The damage Shonda did to Olivia Pope and to the entire show in 509 was irreparable. Scandal isn't coming back from that debacle. I can't relate to this Olivia. She's become so unlikeable I honestly don't care what happens to her any more. Shonda did a total Humpty Dumpty on this show. All the king's…

Well, that should settle that.

This rant was actually mild compared to some of his others. I still can't figure out why he is over-acting like that. Joe Morton is a fine actor but in this series he is coming off like a buffoon, and he doesn't seem to realize it.

Re-watching this. Another golden moment: Cochran to Darden: "Chris, calm down." For a minute I thought Darden was literally going to kill him.

Blimey, this comments thread is like a ghost town!

Bugliosi's book is one long rant about how stupid and incompetent the prosecution was. He raised some good points, but not even Bugliosi could have scored a guilty verdict opposite that defense team and with that jury.

If looks could kill, he'd be dead before he reached the witness stand.

Don't forget Barry Scheck. His Innocence Project is doing wonderful work getting wrongly convicted people exonerated. Some of them had been locked up for years on Death Row before they were freed.

And he still hasn't grown up in the past 20 years. To this day he maintains Cochran tore the lining of the gloves so they wouldn't fit. Of course he made this allegation after Cochran was dead and couldn't defend himself. Darden was and still is a weaselly little twerp.

An internal review conducted by the L.A.P.D. found that Fuhrman had “grossly exaggerated most if not all of his accounts? Alrighty then…
