He was but during the episode when they were trying to get other B613 agents to testify against Rowan, they said it was 100's of B613 agents out there but only three agents agreed to testify and they stated that the other agents were afraid to testify.

Shonda said that this was the season of Abby and we see how that turned out.

I agree and in other posts I mentioned a host of other things scandal could have done around the Fitz/Olivia relationship. One great thing they could have pursued was the "Defiance" arc and the ramifications of actually stealing the election. I liked Hollis and that arc really should have been played out.

Also considering that he was killed at night and was not found until Quinn opened up the next morning reasonable thinking people thought that he bled out.

I disagree, only if they don't do another retcon. During the "bad Jake" episode it was mentioned that there were hundreds of B613 agents scattered about and three actually came in to testify against the organization, but was killed by another planted B613 agent.

In all honesty, while watching the 1st 5 minutes of scandal, my mind kept screaming "who wrote this shit"!

I guess you never watched "The Wire". Omar was the baddest and most feared man to walk the streets of Baltimore at the height of the drug epidemic and yet he was killed by a 9 year old. Also, in "The Good Wife" will was killed by a random client - and to make matters worse, it wasn't even his client initially.

Plot twist are at least plausible. As many times as Russell stabbed Jake, literally sitting on top of him stabbing him numerous times, would not be a plot twist - it would be totally unbelievable. Also, remember that Russell is B613, so at the bare minimum, he should know if a person is dead or alive.

I was hoping that they would give us the Olivia heal moment during the time she decided to choose herself. At this time, she was no longer worried about father, B613, Jake or Fitz. She was finally going to put herself first. Shonda Rhimes had even made the comment that this was Olivia's happy, however, they then…

I respect your opinion, but as I stated in a previous post, I don't think Olivia is the aggressor because she feels guilty about the affair. Remember, Fitz and Olivia are not in a "normal" boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. Fitz, as he has shown, is totally committed to the relationship, whereas Olivia, in my…

@curzonberry - I do believe that Olivia will never make the first move because of her guilt. And I sort of disagree with you on the bunker scene because Olivia did want him. Olivia is fighting her feelings - she wants to do the right thing - as she has told Fitz she wants him to be the best man that he can be which…

@curzonberry. Thanks for you response, and I want to add that I always felt that Olivia was fighting an internal battle with herself over her relationship with Fitz. When you look at how Olivia views herself (white hat, justice, etc) having a relationship with a married man is all kinds of wrong in Olivia's psychic…

Just curious. Why do you think Brian White is an "effeminate black dude"? Don't get me wrong, I felt that the writers should have been bold and cast Idris Elba, especially if their interest was killing the olitz romance - they definately would have gotten my attention (lol).

From a church goer, I have to disagree with you. He doesn't remind me of a preacher in any sense. Love him or hate him, a preacher is suppose to inspire his congregation and I am not inspired by Rowan in the least. As a matter of fact, his monologues to Olivia borders (and crosses the line) on verbal abuse.

I know I'm a bit late to the conversation, but I agree with your response to the poster. As a woman, I don't see Fitz actions as "rape" in any way, shape or form. Yes, Fitz is the aggressor, and as I woman, I find it sexy. Woman don't always won't to make the first move and women do like feeling desirable - its a…

Why do you think "they both owe Mellie this one"? This is the problem with Scandal - instead of the show being about a fixer, it has shifted to being about Mellie. I don't mind Mellie being a secondary character however, this shift towards Mellie is making me uncomfortable. Also, if Shonda wanted to break up Olitz…

But when Mellie went on TV to announce the affair, her approval ratings went down the toilet. Many felt it was "unfirstladylike" for her to go on national tv to announce that her husband was having an affair. Also, I read the synopsis of episode 20 which is titled "First lady sings the Blues' and it seems her…

Coupled with the fact that he is worth about 100 million dollars. So, Fitz being handsome, rich and powerful would turn on millions of women.

I haven't seen the movie but I agree where your coming from. Cyrus did something similar with Michael. Remember, Cyrus first 2 relationships were built on lies, especially his first relationship and in the clip shown of him and James, Cyrus lies to James. Cyrus was very honest with Michael and for some reason, I do…

Olivia's middle name is "Carolyn" unless of course they do a rewrite (lol). Also, I didn't read to much into Russell actually knowing Olivia's name because Olivia was communications director for the WH and during Fitz assassination attempt she was the one doing all the press conferences. Actually, I found it…
