Author: codebreaker    Time: 2-1-2012 20:23     Subject: Scandal Season 1-4 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)


Scandal Premiered on ABC on April 05, 2012



From the creator and executive producers of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice comes a drama revolving around the life and work of a professional crisis manager and her dysfunctional staff.

A former media relations consultant to the President, Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) dedicates her life to protecting and defending the public images of our nation's elite. After leaving the White House, the power consultant opened her own firm, hoping to start a new chapter -- both professionally and personally -- but she can't seem to completely cut ties with her past. Slowly it becomes apparent that her staff, who specialize in fixing the lives of other people, can't quite fix the ones closest at hand -- their own.

I'm so going to love this show! It's the same kind of humor as Fairly legal (which is great also) but then with a bit more adventure. =)

I like that he can play her and that she can't resist him, but I hate that he's married.
Going up against the white house is going to be interesting.
Author: bala    Time: 4-6-2012 07:13     Subject: Sweet Baby

Well i liked the first episode and you can see it's nothing like Fairly Legal but i like the fact she didn't even know it was a job interview i liked how they introduce her and audience to all the characters. Well i knew they was reason why she left the white house glad they covered in first episode.

As for case i didn't see gay twist coming but he would gone jail than admit his gay and i like the concept of how all characters are flawed and why do i think Abby has a crush on Stephen even through he want get married as soon as she saw the rings she walked out suggesting she has feeling for him and way she look at him.

It was great.  Her and Prez was surprising.  Paris from Gilmore was a nice site     And the fact that she didn't lie was GREAT!!   "pope" turning on the prez and saying that the girl is her client:  TAKE that leader of the free world.

He was gay.  Ehhh

I agree, it's a lot less like Fairly Legal then I first thought, but I still loved it.

I agree about the associate having a crush on the other (that is getting married)
But I loved that the guy needed her to talk him in/out of proposing.
I wonder if he is going to leave the show cause he is 'fixed' and if the new girl took his place.

Quinn's gut was right about  the President but the way Olivia verbally attacked his mistress in the park was impressive but it's a shame she was blind side by her past with the President

Quinn was quick in realising the guy in the hospital was a reporter but I'm not surprised Olivia was taken off the list at first after representing Amanda and Patrick marrying Claire not knowing she was a hooker was interesting

The case of the millionaire's son accused of rape was interesting considering he was guilty but the way his victim was attacked in court was tragic but Travis's mother doing the right thing was great, Amanda being pregnant is going to make things complicated for the President

I don't know, but he was sneeky playing them out against eachother.
But I actually think that the wife has something to do with it.
She obviously knows about the relationship between him and Olivia. I quess she'll know about Amanda too.
But the baby is going to be a nice twist.

We don't really who whether he's the father or not but he really needs tell his wife not to invite Olivia as she has something that could ruin his president. I understand why he doesn't want to tell her but he better come clean before she matters worse. Whether she like it or not she has stick by president -she would do anything to protect her position but she desn't know the situation and i think he should tell her .
Author: kellemanske    Time: 4-24-2012 14:15     Subject: Reply 26#26 bala's post

You think she doesn't know?
In the end he asked her why she invited her and she said 'Cause you needed to see her, I'll bet you will sleep well tonight'
I thought that meant that she knew.
Author: bala    Time: 4-25-2012 03:04     Subject: Reply 27#27 kellemanske's post

Well i took that as the fact that he missed her as part of the staff and he needed to see her. If she knew why didn't she make it obvious and tell him directly because the impression i am getting is that she doesn't know.

The condescending speech Cyrus gave the President was great but with Amanda getting attacked it's going to be hard going after the President

If the President wasn't behind Amanda's murder then my money is on his wife followed by Cyrus and I had a feeling from last episode that Huck used to be in the special services but the way he tortured the assassin to find Amanda's body was great

Nice background episode in to Olivia past with the President and how her associates joined the team and Mellie' fake miscarriage story was a surprise but did the job of fooling the press, what a scum bag Billy is

Well wow i really liked this episode because Olivia got played but the fact that he got away with it and put his wife in jail was rather a clever plan all so he could get points in the next election but at least we know what conspiracy is regarding electronic voting system that would be a hell of a scandal . He really should ran a bug scanner in his room

I was expecting the mail truck to explode after the guy who dropped the letter off before killed himself and James printing pillow talk between him and Cyrus was risky but the spies holding guns on each other was amusing, the way the cleaned up after the execution was impressive as they were supposed to be retired

I didn't mind the flashbacks but most of it just seemed like a romance novel.  We already knew they had an affair and how dumb of them not to think there were cameras in the oval office. Duhh,.    The shooter was both surprising and not.  Upsetting who they picked.  I think he's brain washed!!   

Glad to know exactly why olivia brought Quin into her Associates group.  

Huck as a homeless, grizzly man was just perfect .

Yes but what a way for writer gives us the wrong conclusion last week i love it when tv series fools the audience into thinking one way when it was something quite diffrent and i am so sad i mean he deserves a women but what she did to him was so awful.

I am even touch other relationship because that was strange she doesn't trust him but she did him and walk out . It's the way she walked out his house which disturbing because the look on her face like she didn't want to.

Mellie forging the President signature to steal the white house back was dangerous considering he was still in a coma but nice end with him awake and Huck being tortured while held under the patriot act was diabolical but his help to the assassin was great

So glad the episode didn't revolve around huck being beat up. I was hoping they wouldn't turn this into a Crim Mind violent thing.

Fritz is back but his personality will be different (think they said that in the preview) plus he'll have difficulty making decisions.  I wonder if he'll go back to Mellie and strengthen his marriage or blow her off entirely (divorce) and actually pursue Olivia.  

Anyone notice the DRAMATIC turn Olivia and her BF had?  They broke up I'm thinking...

I saw fritz doing that to the Judge.  I'm surprised he went to millie telling her and asking if she was on his side.  I know he has some agenda, but still....

I was doubly shocked at the red heads actions.  I thought she had decided David was "the guy" and then throws it away.   I'm with addision; love isn't painful so why would Olivia think that?!

Well a very good episode and who would thought he was right about his daughter the fact that she played him was impressive but the length she went to cut off her ear so that she could get the money is rather disturbing and seriously giving her choice it was obvious she was going to choose the money over family.
Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-4-2013 14:30     Subject: 2x16 Top of the Hour

Olivia being on the opposing side of the oval office was interesting but Sarah not telling the whole truth made thing awkward and sad for the daughter to have her life turned upside down, the bluff with the empty box was amusing
