Why do you think its such a stupid fantasy? To me, it was Olivia's attempt of trying to get some "normal". I big house in the country, a husband who is Mayor and her walking the dog without a care in the world. As for the Jam, that was all Olivia's idea. if you remember, when she was going to marry Edison, she…

Can you imagine any man accepting their girl wants to be with two men? So to me, Fitz reaction would be "normal". Jake has to accept it because the plot calls for it. Jake's role on scandal is to be the 3rd wheel in the triangle (my personal opinion was Mellie was much beter at it) and to be some kind of 'hero" for…

I don't believe Maya's a sociopath. Remember what Harrison said, if there was no money involved Maya would'nt do the job. Unfortunately, growing up in the "hood" I have met many people who are this 'money orientated. The phrase C.R.E.A.M. (cash rules everything around me) was popular in the 90's and every time I…

We'll see, but it appears at the present that Kerry Washington is content to just go along with whatever the Scandal writers write. She says that she doesn't even know what is going to happen until the table read and she was shocked a few times the turns that her character was taking. (Tony Goldwyn has voiced the…

Since Kerry Washington is so involved in the political process and actually sits on Obama's Committee for the Arts and has adopted a inner city school in D.C. (which she spends time at), that you would think we would see some actual social issues and politics that plague black America. Sometimes, (black) writers are…

So true Storm. Look at Law and Order and L&O SVU. Those shows have been jugging along for years because of their case of the week format. I'm not saying Scandal has to follow that model, but they have a wealth of material they can mine just because they are in D.C. Re-genification is a big issue in D.C., the…

Some posters have stated that Maya is a sociopath, however, in looking at the flashbacks, Olivia and Maya, at one time, had a mother/daughter relationship. For example, the scene in which Olivia was eating her cereal and listening to music and Maya kissed her goodbye and told her what she cooked for dinner. At one…

A divorce doesn't mean that Olivia and Fitz will get married right away. Divorces can take a very long time, especially if one partner (Mellie) is opposed to granting it. as Sonya in Texas stated, there will be a host of problems that arise when a "sitting president' wants out of a marriage. The political fall out…

True, because I rewatched the episode and Jack was the only one who knew where the files were. He told David that "he took some sovineurs" and should have used the files a long time ago". So was Rowan following Jake and he and Olivia returned from the Island? So many questions.
