Scandal! (May contain spoilers)

[DWGal210]

Omg! What did you think??? The end with Jake trying to comfort him while he was dying was so disturbing. Cyrus' breakdown. Ugh. Heartbreaking. He knew it was going to happen right? So who did Jake swear in that last episode? David? But David fell apart? So you think Jake will now kill him? Liv, Cyrus, everybody knows what happened now and they are all now part of and in on it!!!! The father daughter chat was pretty eye opening. Quinn/Huck just grosses me out. Omg thst are ALL BAD!!!

That episode should have come with a warning.

(Sorry, I know this is a few pages back but I want to get caught up with the conversation )

That was a VERY disturbing episode, I agree. Hard to watch.

I am also wondering where in the heck they're going to take this Quinn / Huck thing. It's and .

I love this show, I really do, but yes we are getting into ridiculous territory.

And I LOVE Kerry Washington, she's phenomenal (and seems like a really nice lady in real life, too) but her "oh no I'm upset / scared / uncertain" face is getting to be a bit much. She's heading down the Taylor Swift "I am acting surprised that I won my 80th award" road in terms of her facial expressions.

But I still love the show.

Mellie REALLY needs to tell Fitz about his dad. They already know most of each other's secrets (Fitz and the plane, Mellie and her involvement in what happened to the VP's hubby, etc) so would this one REALLY rock his world?!

Bolded is mine. I think it would--forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't Mellie get pregnant with their first child right after the rape? I'm under the impression that she wonders if the first child is really her FIL's and not Fitz'. If that's true, I'm sure that would rock his world.

I could be out in left field but for some reason, I am getting that feeling.

I loved Season 1 and Season 2--and love Kerry Washington, but the story line just gets more and more bizarre--kind of like Homeland did.

True, good point. Yes, I am also under the impression that their eldest son is her FILs child.

I agree with you and other posters - what I liked about the previous seasons was the stories about the other people and situations that were sprinkled with drama about the main cast. It's too much with these story lines - everything has to be bigger and wilder and crazier to compete with the big and wild and crazy story lines from last week.

No, there is one more after tonight.

I subscribe to the after buzz podcast for some detailed chatter about the show.

I listen to the after buzz podcast too. I also listen to Scandal Revealed, it is ABC's official podcast from the show and has the actors on a lot of the time.

 

[DWGal210]

I listen to the after buzz podcast too.

I will have to look for this, and start listening to it. I have a 5 hr drive tomorrow afternoon, I need something to listen to!

 

[DianeV]

Guillermo Diaz (Huck) was on Ellen yesterday. It was so nice to see him smiling and laughing. Even Ellen said so

 

[bananasplitkids]

Can we forward to next Thursday?

I listen to that one too. I LOVED the one with Cyrus & his wife.

Seriously!! I felt like a month passed since last Thursday.

This season is too short!

Bizarre and pretty repulsive - who ever thought we'd get to a place where Mellie was the most sympathetic character? Olivia & Fitz have just become completely loathsome; pathetically self-absorbed and whiny. And any pretence of OPA being "white-hatted gladiators"?? Totally absurd. We're about ready to stop watching this show now. OTOH, the Following is starting to get good again now that Clair has come back to life!

So this week's episode was interesting....

I still don't know how I feel about it.

I thought the killing of the mom's boyfriend/partner in crime was a weird thing. They didn't really spend much time developing him and then bam, he's gone. It seemed like an unnecessary character to move the story along.

And then we see Huck and Quinn gettin frisky in the parking garage....which I'm sorry but . If they were trying to make it hot and sexy, they failed, at least in my book.

And Cyrus?! At the end?!?! Good grief, he's one of the love/hate characters but now I think he's firmly in the "hate" category.

Was not at all surprised that her dad was severely injured; do we think he makes it?

It's probably a good thing they did a short season; they are REALLY running out of ways to make Kerry Washington NOT look pregnant. If they went any further in the season we'd only be seeing her eyes.

I'm interested to see who we lose next week after the bombing. I predict the VP is out, and Sally is clinging to life.

So with the way this season is going, what does Season 4 look like?? What is the story line?

I *hope* the "sex scene" between Huck and Quinn was supposed to be awkward--because it was. I think they were going for a more S&M type look because they are both so strange and like to give/receive pain. I don't think they were necessarily going for a sexy, romantic scene. I hope anyway.

I have no idea what Season 4 could look like.

Maybe I missed it since I was very tired last night but can anyone tell me
where was Quinn's B613 partner during the sex? She came back after getting rid of the body and wasn't once concerned about where he was and she is scared of him.

Maybe Sally dies since this will be another election Fitz wins not on his own merits?

When Olivia's mom came into her work and told her father to get her back (out of the HS), how did she get back so quickly?

Why was Jake all alone by the water or park, wherever he was?
Did he meet Quinn when she disposed of the body?

I think Fitz will be repulsed by Mellie keeping another secret but I guess time will tell.

Also, how do I find this podcast thingy you guys are talking about?

Thanks so much!

(bolding is mine) YES I wondered this too. I mean, they have private transportation but it would still take what, an hour or more to fly from Ohio to DC? They didn't show a very good passage of time in that part.

For the podcast, I searched in the Podcast "store" on iTunes. I can't wait to listen to it!

I'm thinking Huck was waiting or following her. And I personally think that Charlie has been following her. I think he was watching her when she and Huck first kissed in the Park. BTW, this love affair or attraction is an entire season too late. They should have explored this attraction then. I think it was added because Olivia (aka Kerry) is pregnant.

Maybe Sally dies since this will be another election Fitz wins not on his own merits?

I'm thinking Sally will die. I'm not crazy at all about her. This show isn't predictable so what I always think is inevitable isn't.

When Olivia's mom came into her work and told her father to get her back (out of the HS), how did she get back so quickly?

I thought Moma Pope was IN Washington. Keeping in mind that Moma Pope wanted them to believe that the Bomb was IN the school - because the REAL bomb was at the funeral. So when they left the school they would feel they 'got away'.

Why was Jake all alone by the water or park, wherever he was?

I am assuming he was because he didn't have an office. His 'job' was gone. Lights out. Olivia dismantled the company.

Did he meet Quinn when she disposed of the body?

No I think he was waiting for her or following her in the parking garage. That's where she left from.

I think Fitz will be repulsed by Mellie keeping another secret but I guess time will tell.

Not really IMO. His Dad is dead. He had a love/hate relationship with him. He knew his Dad was awful. He might find empathy for Millie. That story line is so soap opera like (his son/brother).

Let me be the first to predict that Fitz will 'let' Millie have his VP. She is really unhappy without him. Fitz will allow this ‘compromise’ and ‘justify his affair with Olivia.

 

[DianeV]

Didn't they show the VP guy at the funeral in the previews?

 

[mrsksomeday]

Didn't they show the VP guy at the funeral in the previews?

Yes they did. I could see him getting killed off and Mellie finding out about Cy knowing about the bomb. She will really go off the rails.

 

[mom4463]

I go to Youtube and go to Afterbuzz TV and listen to the podcast. I enjoy listening to what they think of each episode and their predictions.

Can't wait til next Thursday!

 

[luv2sleep]

Why wouldn't Cyrus care that the VP running mate was there? Don't they need him?
