No, they are not treating her better. It seems, based on the sneak peek, she has become a complete idiot and Huck confronts her about it.

I re-read a few posts you and I interchanged and I am a bit shocked that you have given up on the show. You were one of Olivia Pope's biggest supporters and gave some great analysis of her character. Beginning with episode 6 of this season, many posters were flailing their arms about the character assassin of Olivia…

If you look at all the legislation that Fitz has gotten pass (the dream act, the brandon bill, equal pay) one would easily assume that he was a democrat also. I think the only reason the writers made Fitz a Republican was because Judy Smith, who Olivia Pope is based on, worked for the Bush whitehouse. But everything…

Hello cyber friend. I watched it only because I am such a Kerry Washington fan girl that I want to support her, but damn, the writers are making it so hard. They have totally retconned Mellie and Olivia's relationship and I rolled my eyes through their entire monologue because I found it so highly unbelievable even…

Its sad from our point of view - but as a member of the fundamentalist religious right, Sally is doing very good for herself - making millions from the Liberty Report.

I agree on the Alicia and Kalinda situation and I felt so bad for Kalinda because Alicia was probably the only person she actually cared about and she really valued her friendship. But I understood Alicia. Before, all the women Peter slept with were nameless, faceless people. Kalinda, in Alicia's mind, put a face…

I appreciate your response, but I still don't buy it. I believed Olivia worked really hard "staying" in Fitz life. There have been many instances in which Fitz gave Olivia an out, (the restaurant scene in Season 2 is a great example; as well as the voice mail in Season 5) and she didn't take it, but instead…

Since you understood why Olivia stayed with Fitz all these years can you please explain it to me? I got that she liked Fitz because he was unavailable, and she was "scared" - scared of what? She said what kept Mellie in the relationship is why she left but I got that Mellie stayed in the relationship because she…

I still think, in the end, Shonda is going to make come out looking like some type of hero. I just don't see her destroying Jake the way she destroyed Fitz.

I don't think Fitz has to die but I do believe that Fitz and Olivia should not be put together ever again, especially how they are currently written and all the artificial boundaries and retconning of both characters that the writers have used to keep them apart.

*Slowly Claps* especially considering the fact that Sally Langston, who is older than Mellie, was Fitz's VP.

I agree, I do look at it from a work friendship level, but it was realistic work friendship level because that is the type of friendship you have with your co-workers at least I do. I have friends at work that have never been to my house, but we have went out for drinks and good talks and I consider them very good…

Yes he is.

Olivia and Mellie is some silly juvenile girl power bs. I ask you, how many women in fiction tv actually befriends the woman her husband has slept with for 7 years. Hell, in the Good Wife, Alicia Florrick ended her friendship with Kalinda because she found out Kalinda slept with her husband - and this was before…

First of all, there is no such thing as a "wife's table". Scandal is suppose to be happening in modern day, so imagine someone like Michele Obama being regulated to the "wife's table". Modern day 1st ladies don't sit in a group swapping recipes while the men sit across the room smoking cigars and talking politics.

The problem with Scandal is that they expect viewers to watch each episode as its own private movie and not bring in any backstory from the previous episodes.

Yeah, you got me - I am an uber optimist and I wish Fitz the best. I take no joy in wishing another human beings downfall.

I just don't have that type of faith in this show. Listen to what Rowan said to Olivia - that he did the best he could and everything he did was out of love and Olivia tends to believe him. So unless Rowan continues to do dirty deeds, they can always come up with an arc making him the good guy.

I felt Olivia was "lashing out" at Fitz. Everything she said was very defensive which is why I don't believe this was a meaningful argument. She was upset about her "living conditions" and new role and she said alot of things out of anger. Yes, she defended Rowan by taunting Fitz, knowing full well Fitz…

Of course Rowan had caused death and destruction but that does not give Mellie's unspeakable act any credence. Where I separate the two is Rowan did it on "behalf of the republic" but Mellie, this is personal; he was her child. And I hate to say it, but if something happened to Olivia, I don't think Rowan would have…
