"Abby got got because Fitz has a dumb obsession with Vermont. If Fitz had just agreed on California for his library, Frankie Vargas would still be alive."

I can't call up the various articles but I remember reading them. The part about Betsy having to convince her to do Scandal was in several articles when the show first started. I think the part about the spy show pitch was in an article about a possible B613 spinoff. The part about wanting SF as a leading man was…

In various articles. The part about Betsy having to convince her to do Scandal was in several articles when the show first started. I think the part about the spy show pitch was in an article about a possible B613 spinoff. The part about wanting SF as a leading man was in one of those feature articles about him. …

"I will never in a million years understand Shonda Rhimes devotion to a character almost universally derided. Maybe B613 is real and is forcing her to keep Rowan around for some ungodly reason."

Dan Bucatinsky (James) was the 1st cast member to win an Emmy for Scandal and James was killed off a few months later. Papa Pope is definitely more Voldemort than Darth Vader. And even his redemption came as he was dying.

"The show hasn't given us a reason why Olivia wants Mellie to win so badly."

That crossed my mind too when I first heard rumors that she was pregnant. I thought it would be hilarious if, after planning to have the show's election run parallel to the real-life election, Kerry got pregnant and wrecked the whole timeline. I would love it if she did it to get back at Shonda for making her…

Tony Goldwyn said Scott Foley was the "Secretary of Brown-nosing Shonda Rhimes". He must be really good at it because he's sure not good at acting.

"In a season when Shonda has emasculated Fitz, why would she abandon such an attractive and popular character?

Olivia was based on Judy Smith, and it wasn't so loose at the beginning. Judy was very involved when the show started. She used to write a blog after every episode comparing Olivia's cases and how she fixed them to how she'd fix the in real life and she would make appearances with the cast and Shonda Rhimes.. She…

She would have had it made if she took the deal he offered her at the end of Season 2, where he would help launch her political career in exchange for a divorce. He and Olivia would continue to date secretly for a while before coming out as a couple and no one would ever know that he chose Olivia over Mellie or that…

She cried about his death when she thought it was a random illness unconnected to anything. When she found out he was murdered and realized his death bought 4 more years in the White House, she perked right up. Given a choice, she'll choose power over her children.

The actress who played the original Aunt Viv on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air once said "if you want me to kiss someone's *ss, you better write it into my contract!" I think Shonda heard that and took it to heart.

There is one reason why people who hate Fitz want him and Mellie to stay together: they are "uncomfortable" with the idea of him leaving her for Olivia and the reason they are uncomfortable starts with the letter R.
