what i find so interesting about scandal is that it canonically takes place in a world where barack obama doesn't exist, yet the show itself is such a product of obama-era neoliberal politics

Doing a Scandal deep dive and the cast is actually so precious! Like I was watching an interview with Scott during the final season where they talk about staying friends after wrapping and he's kinda jaded and basically saying stuff like "I've been on a lot of shows that've ended, everyone always says we'll keep in touch, but that never happens" then flash forward to him being on the podcast in 2023 and saying "I keep in constant contact with the Scandal cast". Like that's so wholesome and I love casts like that so much!!!

i'm rewatching scandal for the 1000th time and i like jake less and less. he's with damn boring. a conversation with him would dry up so quickly. i feel like you could talk to fitz for hours.

I just find it soooo funny how, when Olivia called that bunker meeting in season 3, Fitz is all "this is a one time thing, only for One. Emergency. You can never use this bunker again Olivia. I'll never give you the password again"
And then they just keep using that bunker every other episode. It's their hangout spot at this point

So baffling
What is up with Olitz fans wanting the show to return? I keep seeing this on social media and I don’t get it because how can they seriously think Olitz wouldn’t be messed with hard and even possibly Fitz be killed off?
This is one show I don’t ever want to return because I just don’t see this couple not being messed over.

One of my guilty pleasures is watching popular shows AFTER the popularity is all gone. For example, I’m watching #Scandal. Like, THE OLIVIA POPE(!!!) for the first time ever. Don’t get me wrong, I know the outline. However, since there are no such thing as #spoilers (my opinion bc I’ve never “heard” a description that EVER does a film justice), something always gets left out. I have to see the story unfold for myself. I like to fill in my own blanks.
THIS SHOW IS GOOD!!!!
Wow. #OliviaAndFitz are actually the least interesting thing happening on this show lol. There’s always some unbelievable actual scandal going on. So far, I’ve made it into the second season and jeez! It’s free smoke for everybody. They be reading each other for fiiiiiilth!!!(I especially HATE how condescending and downright mean #Cyrus is to James). Also, is Olivia Pope a republican!?! Cuz, what!? But not surprising.
So far I really like Olivia and Cyrus’ odd couple friendship. Huck and Olivia are better friends tho. I can tell their relationship is more intimate, less transactional. lol Even when they’re pissed with each other, they’re still fiercely loyal. I hope he gets to be with his family again. The callous way Charlie tried to break him(#752 🥹), I hope he die real slow. Somebody gon have to pop his ass. I can’t believe I’m only on season 2. Speaking of which, I’ve just gotten to where Eli Pope reveals himself to Cyrus. Olivia doesn’t know…yet. Looking forward to that. Most importantly, it seems like everybody run the White House EXCEPT the president. Specifically, #Mellie, Olivia, and Cyrus.
This is def not everything I’ve noticed/seen BUT I am getting sleepy, finally(!). My sleep’s been better these past couple of nights. I guess political dramas lull me 😂😂😂. I’m glad to have another insomnia treatment.
Oh yeah, Fitz is a immature DICK. Even tho I’m only on S2, something tells me that will be consistent throughout the series.
Finally have made it to season 6. Lemme just once again say, THIS IS A GOOD ASS SHOW!!!!
Also, every character needs therapy.
More importantly, can Lauren, the President’s secretary, PLEASE get some props. She the least corrupted person on the show.
First of all, so glad Olivia and Fitz did not get a happy ending. They didn’t deserve it. Cyrus really got what was coming to him and it was sad but also not really. Too much blood on his hands AND he’s a deadbeat/absentee father!!!! Like, he had no concern about Ella at all. Too busy scheming smh.
Abby is a dick. Lowkey, and now majorly highkey you can see how envious/resentful she is of Olivia. That can happen when you feel indebted to someone. Also, take Olivia off the pedestal lol cuz she def be fuxking up to. Fitz is painfully…MEDIOCRE. And also co-dependent. Like he can’t function without a women around men…managing him. I can’t believe how corrupt this firecr**ch ass bitch became. Also, tho if these the same people who have manage to (somewhat)muzzle Rowan, then I get it. The scary lady who’s name i don’t know, is the actress who plays the mom in #YoungSheldon lmao seeing Mary Cooper be a badass is sendiiiiing me 😂😂😂. “Ms. Majorie Ruland”, and ole boy really knew how to tap into Abby’s insecurities.
RIP HUCK!!!! 🥺😡🥺🥺 …..sike! That was a damn good plot twist. But my boy should stick to his guns. A lesson in trusting your instincts. Had Olivia not started questioning her most loyal friend, I don’t think this would’ve happen. But I knew that girl was a weirdo. And he did to. Of course tho, Olivia couldn’t see the forest for the trees. At least not when it comes to her father.
Season 7!!!!
Mellie is president! And a damn good one. Quinn and Charlie being badass vigilante murderers, who make a kid 🥹🥹🥹>>>>>. That damn Cyrus ain’t NEVA leaving the White House. He should have his own wing atp. Seeing Olivia become Eli is cray. She don’t even wear white anymore!!! But Noir Olivia does have much better hair. Lol. I’m so glad Abby is back in the also(it’s lowkey still fuck her tho). I feel like Olivia is gonna snap. And I’m so ready.
Curtis > Jake > Fitz.
Overall : 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
